Chapter 203 Rolling
Yulu saw that he was pushing such a huge tree stump with his own strength, and her mouth turned into a goose egg shape, and the dog even jumped and clapped and applauded.
Xiao Jiading pushed the stump boat to the slope, pushing it all the way down, pushing faster and faster. He trotted all the way behind him. When he reached the edge of the cliff, he shouted loudly and used all his strength to push the stump out.
The stump ship flew out like a cannonball, and it took an arc in the air and landed on the lake several feet away, splashing countless water splashes. It sank into the bottom of the water, and after a moment, it slowly emerged again, only a small half exposed to the water surface.
Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said, "This kind of tree is called an iron tree. It is very heavy. It would not float if it was placed in the water, but after you hollow it out, it will float. Such wood will definitely resist the strong winds and waves on the lake. This is why I am optimistic about you. You are very smart!"
Xiao Jiading said: "Do you know a lot?"
Yu Lu smiled and said, "I know almost everything about this Xianguo Island. If you want to know, just ask me."
Xiao Jiading was overjoyed and said, "It's great. I haven't been there before. I don't know many things and I'm worried about the sailing problems. It would be much better if you are here. I'll take the boat to the shore first."
Xiao Jiading got off the cliff, jumped into the water, and swam to the side of the stump boat. He had installed a cable in advance, pulled the cable to the lake, and then pulled the stump boat to the shore with force, and tied the cable to a big tree on the shore.
Yulu looked at the stump boat that was still a distance from the shore, bit her red lips and said to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Lang, why am I on board? Otherwise, you can carry me over?"
"The water is too deep, and even if you hold it over, it will be wet..."
Yu Lu smiled and said, "I'm just having fun with you, just straighten the cable. I'll step over the cable!"
Xiao Jiading was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the cable and tightened it hard, and the cable left the water surface.
Yu Lu carried the dog on her back, jumped gently, and put on the cable, floating over like a leisurely stroll in the garden, and got on the tree stump.
This woman's light skills are really good, no less than Huiyi! Xiao Jiading thought to himself, and he swam on the stump boat with his clothes on his shoulder. The dog sat on the top of the boat, clapping his hands and laughing.
After Xiao Jiading got on the boat, he got into the cabin, took the food bag and the freshwater bag, and sat on the top of the boat with Yulu and his brothers to eat.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark. However, there was a faint moonlight shining. The lake reflected silver light. I ate very little Yulu, and I ate only half a cake and stopped eating it, as if to maintain my figure.
She pointed to the thick haze in the distance of the lake and said, "This Lu Cave Sea has been covered with this haze all year round. After entering, you can't see anything fifty steps away. Only on tomorrow, the haze will fade and you can see hundreds of steps away. At the same time, there is often a storm on the sea for no reason. The huge waves are surging, and no matter how big the boat is, it will be overturned. In addition, there is a huge fish in the sea that is almost the same as a crocodile, called the crocodile. It is very powerful and can smash the boat boards! However, the stump boat made of our iron tree should not be able to get down. The lives of the three of us all depend on this stump boat. Hehe."
These Xiao Family Dings have heard of them, but they have no say in detail and asked, "What did you brother and sister do before? Can you say it?"
Yulu smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, Xiao Lang, if you are really worried, you sleep inside and my brother and I sleep outside at night. Or, you might as well tie us up and wait on the island before letting us go. OK?"
"There is no need." Xiao Jiading smiled, "I have never met before. If I want to work together, of course I have to understand."
"That's right, okay, let me tell you, my brother and I have some poor births. Later, my parents died in the war, and only we siblings were left. I heard that the woman from the Fairy Fruit Island can live forever after eating it. I am a woman who is very afraid of old age, so I want to find one to eat it. I don't want to stay young forever, but I just want to be more young for ten or twenty years, and I am satisfied. So I brought my brother here."
Love beauty is a woman's nature, and youth is always the dream of every woman, and this jade dew is no exception.
Yulu said again: "I heard that going to Xianguo Island is very dangerous and requires full preparation, so I asked around for information about this and came to the lake a few days in advance. I knew I didn't have the ability to go alone, so I wanted to find a companion. When I saw you, I thought you were the best person to take me to the island, so I would not hesitate to make promises and achieve my wish. You won't look down on me because of this, right?"
"Everyone has his own wish, and for this wish, he may give something." Xiao Jiading thought of himself. In order to pursue Wu Yueniang, so that he could have the big tree Wu Zetian, wouldn't he risk his life to land on the island?
However, this was the idea before. Since he had fought with Wu Yueniang and the others, his idea basically failed. Now he is just interested. Is there really a kind of immortal fruit on this island that can make people suffer from illness and stay young forever? If not, why did the royal family send such a large-scale navy to build a ship to the island? So, Xiao Jiading decided to land on the island to see what happened. If it was true, he really wanted to get a share of the pie and grab a few immortal fruits to taste the taste.
After hearing his words, Yulu smiled: "I'm very happy that you said that."
After talking for a while, after Xiao Jiading finished eating, Yulu said to the dog: "You sleep on top tonight, your sister and your elder brother sleep on bottom, do you know?"
The dog nodded.
Yu Lu smiled with satisfaction. When she turned around, she could not see the shadow of Xiao Jiading. She was very strange. She saw that the entrance of the hole that had entered was blocked by a big block. She was even more surprised. Xiao Jiading must have crawled in first. She hurried over and patted the block, and shouted to the inside: "Xiao Lang, open it! I haven't come in yet!"
Xiao Jiading's voice came from the tree stump boat: "You and your brother sleep outside, I sleep inside."
Yu Lu pouted her red little mouth and slapped the muffle: "How can you do this? Let your sister sleep in the sea? Open the door quickly, and your sister comes in to accompany you and let you have the fun. OK?"
No matter what Yu Lu said, she didn't hear Xiao Jiading's voice.
Yu Lu, who had met each other, took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, which made Xiao Jiading's vigilance. In the absence of security, Xiao Jiading's priority was his own head, so he chose to be heartless.
However, this night, Xiao Jiading thought that he could have hugged the hot-tempered girl Chunfeng for a while, but could only sleep alone, so he was a little annoyed by his calmness.
The next morning, Xiao Jiading was awakened by the sound of slapping. He opened his eyes and heard Yu Lu shouting outside the stump boat: "Xiao Lang, get up, you can go!"
Xiao Jiading then opened the block, his head appeared in his sleepy eyes, and saw Yu Lu, who seemed to be happy and angry, looking at him: "You are so heartless. You are leaving the other person alone outside for a night!"
Xiao Jiading ignored her and looked around. He saw that the sky was covered with white fish belly and the genius was bright. However, Wu Yueniang and his big ships had already set sail in the distance, thinking about sailing deep in the clouds and mist. The thick fog in the middle of the lake was also significantly diluted compared to yesterday.
In addition to those large ships, there were also ships of varying sizes sailing on the lake, rushing forward in other directions.
Xiao Family Ding stretched his waist long before taking out the sailing mast from the cabin. He inserted it into the hole that had been dug in advance and pulled the sail up. However, his stump boat was dug by a huge tree stump, not a real ship. Therefore, the speed of traveling was obviously much slower than those boats, and he moved forward slowly like an old cow.
Yu Lu said anxiously: "It's so slow. I'm afraid that after landing on the island, people will snatch the immortal fruit. There is no need to watch the excitement."
Xiao Jiading's trip was not for the immortal fruit, but for Wu Yueniang, so he didn't care much about whether he could land on the island first. What's more, Tianyi Zhenren said that the journey to land on the island was very difficult and could not be so easy. Just slow down, at least it is safe.
He leisurely sat cross-legged on the stump boat, pulling sails left and right, and letting the boat sail straight toward south.
Yu Lu took out a box from the package and opened it. It was a Sinan inside, which was placed flat on the boat. Although the wind and waves on the lake were relatively strong, because their stump boats were built with very hard and heavy iron trees, they were very capable of resisting wind and waves, so the shaking was not very big.
Yu Lu quickly judged the direction and pointed to the thick fog ahead: "Let's go here!"
Xiao Jiading did not look at the compass on the electronic watch on his palm. He walked in the direction Yu Lu pointed. Not far away was Wu Yueniang and the others' ship, and he hoped to keep up.
However, Wu Yueniang and the others' big ships were too fast. Before they could enter the thick fog area, they had already thrown their stump boats far behind. They were almost the last to enter the thick fog area.
After entering the thick fog area, it was immediately blocked. Only within three or five hundred meters were seen. Wu Yueniang and his big ships were gone. There were only a few small boats not far away. They mainly rely on rowing forward, which was not much faster than their ships.
Yulu had nothing to say to Xiao Jiading, but Xiao Jiading pretended not to hear and hardly answered. After talking for a long time, she shut up.
After driving forward for about an hour, suddenly, Xiao Jiading heard a faint crackling sound in his ear, and then heard a shout of help. He glanced slightly and found that Yu Ri looked as usual, and probably didn't hear this sound. He listened carefully again, yes, right, right in front of him.
As the stump ship moved forward, the sound became clearer and clearer. Soon, Yu Ru's face responded and said anxiously: "Xiao Lang, it seems that there is some strange sound, and someone shouts for help. What's going on? Could it be that huge crocodile-like monster appeared?"
Xiao Jiading then showed a confused look and said, "Well, what strange sound is there? I don't know if it is that monster."
Yulu shook her head and said, "Not like it!"
"Not like?" Xiao Jiading stared at her, "Have you seen this monster?"
"How could I see you?" Yu Lu smiled sweetly, "I just don't think it's like a monster biting, so I thought something unexpected happened."
After a while, the sound became clearer and clearer. Then, a majestic and tall wooden boat crashed out of the thick fog like a mountain. A bright yellow pennant was raised high on the boat, with the word "Tang" written on it!
It’s Wu Yueniang and the others’ ship!
Xiao Jiading immediately recognized it. But he was not surprised because he found something was wrong. The ship had no direction, but was like a monster looking for prey. At this moment, it was rushing towards a small boat, which was so fast that the small boat had no time to hide, and was crushed by the three-story giant ship! The people on the ship fell into the water and shouted for help.
Now they know why someone shouted for help? So that's how it came about!
After the large ship crushed several small boats in succession, they discovered Xiao Jiading's stump ship, so they immediately turned the bow and rushed towards their stump ship!
Xiao Jiading was shocked and stood up and whispered: "Miss Yue! It's me! I'm Xiao Dalang--!"
Soon, Wu Yueniang, Changsun Yanran, Xue Xijie, Fang Wuhui and others appeared at the bow of the ship. Wu Yueniang looked at him with a cold face and said nothing.
While speaking, the giant ship was rolling towards Xiao Jiading and the other tree stump ship!
Xiao Jiading and his stump boats could not avoid the impact of the big ship. Xiao Jiading said a few times: "Get in! Come in! Come into the cabin!"
The three men entered the cabin in a row. Xiao Jiading buckled the big wooden plug. As soon as he was ready, he felt a violent vibration, continuous squeezing, and Ning Ren's terrifying cracking sound.
The cabin was so dark that it was invisible. Xiao Jiading put his hands at the lowest point. If the cabin broke and water was immersed, it would flow to the lower point and it could feel it.
In fear, he never felt water entering. Xiao Family Ding was overjoyed. The iron tree made the boat really strong. After waiting for a while, he felt that there was no new impact. Then he carefully pushed the plug open and looked out.
After seeing this, I couldn't help but feel surprised. Not far away, Wu Yueniang's super large wooden boat had been sank in the water and was seriously tilted. Many sailors had fallen into the water and were shouting for help. From another big ship leaning against the side, the small boat he put down picked up Wu Yueniang and others on the boat, and was rowing towards the big ship. The sailor who fell into the water was about to get on the boat, but the guard officer cut off the hand holding the side of the boat with his sword and sank into the water.
But it turned out that the collision just now not only did not destroy the stump ship made of Xiao Jiading and his iron tree, but instead it was like hitting a reef, smashing Wu Yueniang and his big ship into a big hole, which could not be repaired. The ship quickly sank and had to abandon the ship.
Xiao Jiading climbed out of the stump boat, stood on the surface of the boat, and whispered: "Miss Yue, I'm sorry, I've knocked your boat to pieces! Hahaha."
Wu Yueniang turned around and saw Xiao Jiading. Her originally gloomy face showed a bright smile. She covered her heart with a slender hand, looking relieved, and said in surprise: "Young Master Xiao! I thought you were in the water? Now I am so happy to see you safe and sound! Come here and get on the boat! How to get on the island together!" (To be continued...)
