The moment the bamboo raft floated on the sea, everyone felt like their shackles were lifted.
They looked at the shore farther and farther away from them, their eyes red and their voices mute.
I have been imprisoned in that lightless mining land for a long time, and now seeing the vast ocean, I feel sad beyond words.
"Brothers, go home! Let's go home!"
"Go home! Go home and see my grandma and little sister!"
"Dear me, I finally left that shabby place! I want to go back to farming, and I want to eat steamed cakes that don't go bad!"
"I want to see my brother get married, and I want to visit my mother's grave!"
"..." "..."
The people who escaped from captivity shouted hysterically one by one, and some even covered their faces and cried until they couldn't help themselves.
Xie Yuan estimated the drifting route and stretched out his hand to tie a coat on the little girl dozing next to him.
The temperature at sea was low, so when they were building a bamboo raft, the military prostitute who followed them to escape saw that these people were naked and uncomfortable with the cold, so they dug out the reed wadding on the shore, took off their outer robes, and tied the bamboo raft with the hemp rope.
Dozens of coats were sewn with thick threads.
The young men had nothing to wear, so they made their own coir raincoats and put them on to keep out the cold. These coats were given to the old and infirm.
Xie Yuan also received one piece, which was the best and most suitable among them - he didn't want it originally, but these people forced it into their hands in order to thank him for leading everyone out of the sea of misery.
In desperation, Xie Yuan had no choice but to take it.
Just then he saw that his daughter was showing signs of fever due to the cold wind, so Xie Yuan took off his coat and put it on the little girl.
After a heavy rain, the little girl still developed a fever.
"Ada... I'm so hungry..." Nannan said in a low voice in a daze.
Xie Yuanmo.
They drifted for a day, and almost all the steamed cakes they brought were used, and the rest were in the hands of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Yuan suggested to everyone to use the remaining dry food as bait to catch fish.
Because there was not much left, the young men were very hesitant. However, when the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were holding dry food heard Xie Yuan's words, they took out the dry food without hesitation and expressed their willingness to use it as bait to catch fish.
More than a dozen bamboo rafts were leaning together. Xie Yuan personally showed them how to catch fish, and everyone started taking action.
Within half a day, there were baskets of fish on each bamboo raft.
Since we couldn't light a fire, everyone ate it raw.
Although it smells fishy, it's better than being hungry.
With food to satisfy her hunger and Xie Yuan secretly feeding her with herbs from space, Nannan's illness quickly recovered.
She looked at the endless sea, and her eyes became more and more longing for the future life.
But good times don't come so easily.
March 8th.
Xie Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the island in the distance, feeling that something was wrong.
He took out a homemade compass from the cage, compared it left and right, and his expression suddenly changed.
Oops.
"Pull in the wrong direction, row over there." Xie Yuan suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned, then rowed in the direction pointed by Xie Yuan.
"How did Ada know we were going in the wrong direction?" Nannan looked curious.
Xie Yuan pointed to the slightly rotating compass in his hand and smiled: "Because of this."
If they had followed that direction just now, they would have drifted to the island country.
By the way, in this era, those small... islanders who live a good life should probably not appear.
But in fact, the more you fear something, the more it becomes.
The group drifted for two more days, and one night they discovered a fire ahead.
They thought they were fishermen who were going out to sea to fish, so they shouted loudly.
Xie Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the approaching fire, his eyelids twitching.
The young man's ears twitched slightly. He saw a cold light flashing across the sky, and his expression suddenly changed drastically——
"Quickly leave! Don't make any sound! They are Japanese pirates!"
Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, arrows rained down from the sky and were shot at them.
Because there was no baffle, these arrows shot directly through the bodies of the people on the bamboo raft.
Because the force of the arrows was extremely fierce, some people had their arms broken off, and even their internal organs were shot out.
"Jump into the sea! Everyone, jump into the sea!" This chapter has been completed!
