One hundred and eighty eighth chapter ancestral has become a mantra
When Zhuo Ye woke up from his drowsiness, the first thing he saw was Lian Xiao's charming face with a worried look...
"Ye'er, are you awake?!" Lian Xiao saw Zhuo Ye waking up, stretched out his arms and hugged her body, and said a little excitedly.
Ye'er? Hearing this, Zhuo Ye couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, that... why did he change his words? Calling him so intimate...
"Cough...cough..." Zhuo Ye twisted his body in Lian Xiao's arms and felt that his whole body was sore. He clicked his mouth, and his mouth was salty and bitter, which was very uncomfortable.
"Zhuo Ye, you're finally awake, great!" Lian Qin heard Lian Xiao talking and Zhuo Ye coughing, and rushed over with a surprised look on her face: "How do you feel now?"
"I feel weak all over, cough...my mouth feels uncomfortable..." Zhuo Ye said in a hoarse voice.
"You were knocked unconscious by the waves and choked on the sea water." Lian Xiao said.
"Just wait. There is a freshwater lake not far ahead. I'll get you some water." Lian Qin said, got up and left quickly.
"We...we actually escaped that terrible storm? I can't believe it..." Zhuo Ye murmured. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The sky was blue and clean, and it was already clear.
"Well, if we survive the catastrophe, we will definitely be blessed later." Lian Xiao bent her peach blossom eyes and smiled at Zhuo Ye.
"Have I been asleep for a long time?" Zhuo Ye found that the clothes on his body were completely dry. He must have been ashore for a long time.
"We went to the island yesterday evening, and you fell asleep all night."
In fact, Zhuo Ye's clothes were not air-dried, but Lian Xiao was afraid that she would get sick if she wore wet clothes, so after the rain stopped, he used his internal power to dry them for her.
At sea, Zhuo Ye was knocked unconscious by the big waves and almost died. Lian Xiao spent nearly half of his energy to catch her. After that, he swam hard for several hours with her. After landing, his physical strength was severely exhausted and he barely managed to catch her.
He used his inner strength to dry her clothes, and he was so weak that he could not even stand up. Even after resting for a night, he only regained a little strength.
"Where are they? How is everyone...?" Zhuo Ye asked again.
Hearing this, Lian Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said with some sadness: "Qiao Ling was also dragged to the island by Lian Qin. He is still in a coma, but it is not serious. It is estimated that he will be there in one or two hours.
When I woke up, the others...the only ones who came ashore were my two subordinates, Lao Wu and five sailors..."
As Lian Xiao said this, he hugged Zhuo Ye and turned around. Behind them, there were several half-dead figures lying staggered. They were the other people who had escaped to the shore together. Qiao Ling was lying not far away.
On a relatively flat large black stone.
Zhuo Ye suddenly felt a sore nose and said with a sad face: "You mean, there are only twelve of us left? Everyone else..." Zhuo Ye couldn't go on. When he left Cangbin, there were more than thirty people on the boat.
People, the number of people has been reduced by more than half...
"Basically, the sailors on the ship have never practiced martial arts. They have no internal strength and lack of physical strength..."
Old Wu and the five sailors who escaped ashore were all the best swimmers and the strongest. Moreover, if the location where the ship sank was not too far away from the island, it would be impossible for the dozen of them to survive.
Those who survived...
"After I go back, I will make good compensation to their families." Lian Xiao continued.
"Alas..." Zhuo Ye sighed sadly and said nothing. No matter how much material compensation was given, it could not make up for the pain of losing a loved one! Of course, she also knew that this was not the fault of Lian Xiao. The only one to blame was Lian Xiao.
This storm at sea is too ruthless...
"Water is here, water is here!" Lian Qin came back with a wet coat, handed it to Zhuo Ye, and grinned: "I can't find anything that can hold water, um... just make do with it...
…”
The corners of Zhuo Ye's lips moved, "Thank you." In fact, she wanted to say that she had a thermos water bottle in her travel bag, but she couldn't bear to bother Lian Qin to go for another trip, so she tried hard to control her mysophobia.
Obstacle, he reached out to take the wet shirt from Lian Qin's hand, gritted his teeth, brought it to his mouth, opened his mouth and started sucking...
It wasn't until his thirst was quenched and the salty and bitter taste in his mouth had gone away that Zhuo Ye let go of his mouth. Then, his stomach growled again...
"Are you hungry?" Lian Xiao asked.
"Yeah, somewhat." Zhuo Ye nodded.
"I'm hungry too." Lian Xiao smiled bitterly: "But there is nothing to eat on this island. It seems that we have to find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Lian Qin also sighed: "In the morning, I checked and found that the island is not too big. There is a small freshwater lake, and there are some small rabbits, pheasants and other small animals. Unfortunately, our fire
It's all wet, so we can't grill game. There are some wild fruit trees on the island, but it's not the season to bear fruit..."
When they landed last night, because they didn't understand the situation on the island and were afraid of wild beasts, poisonous snakes and other things, they didn't dare to enter the center of the island rashly. They waited on the rocks on the shore until dawn, where they could recover the fastest.
Lian Qin just went to investigate the situation on the island.
Finding a way to leave? It's easier said than done! There are trees on the island that can be used as rafts. Even if you are lucky and nothing happens, you will have to walk for several days to get to the inland, but there is no food and nothing to hold fresh water.
How can I stand these days without eating or drinking? If I don't starve to death, I will die of thirst!
Several people naturally understood their situation, and the atmosphere calmed down for a moment...
Zhuo Ye was silent for a moment, leaned on Lian Xiao, struggled to sit up, and said, "Let's catch some fish. I heard people say that sea fish can be eaten raw."
"Seriously?" Lian Qin heard this, his eyes were bright and he swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Yes." Zhuo Ye smiled and nodded affirmatively. Of course the fish can be eaten raw! Sashimi, what a famous delicacy!
Lian Qin raised her feet excitedly and was about to rush towards the seaside.
"Wait!" Zhuo Ye quickly stopped her: "It's so hard to catch it with your hands! Break off two branches and let's insert the fish together."
When Lian Xiao saw that Zhuo Ye wanted to leave his arms, although she felt a little reluctant, she did not force her. He moved her body to sit next to Qiao Ling and said: "You are still weak, rest here for a while.
Just let’s go.”
Zhuo Ye's body was indeed very weak now, so he stopped insisting and nodded: "Okay."
Lian Xiao and Lian Qin went to catch fish. Seeing this, Wu Wei and three other people who had recovered some physical strength also struggled to get up and joined the fishing team.
Zhuo Ye turned around and sniffed Qiao Ling's breath. Seeing that her breathing was steady and there was no abnormality, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He took Lian Qin's still wet coat and wiped her chapped lips, and then
I squeezed some water and dripped it into her mouth along the seam of her lips.
Qiao Ling stuck out her small tongue, licked her lips, and then opened her eyes faintly...
Zhuo Ye couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. He helped Qiao Ling's body and asked with concern: "Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Girl? I...I'm still alive? Not dead?" Qiao Ling didn't bother to reply to Zhuo Ye's previous question, and grabbed her arm, asking for confirmation.
"Yes. You are alive and well." Zhuo Ye hugged Qiao Ling and patted her back comfortingly.
The Lian brothers, Wu Wei and others each came back with a few sea fish strung on branches.
Lian Qin looked at the fish in his hand and said with some embarrassment: "My sword and dagger have all been lost, and the fish scales can't be scraped off. How can I eat this?"
Fish in the sea are divided into scaleless fish and scaled fish, and scaleless fish mostly live in the deep sea of more than 500 meters. The fish they catch on the shore are basically scaly.
Hearing the words, Tianye frowned and pursed his lips. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled the travel bag aside and opened the poncho wrapped on it. When he saw that the travel bag was not wet, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He unzipped it and took it out of the bag.
The multifunctional folding knife was handed to Lian Qin and said: "Use this."
Lian Qin took the folding knife and looked at it over and over for a long time, not knowing how to use it.
Seeing this, Zhuo Ye reached out to get the folding knife back, pulled out the big blade, and handed it to Lian Qin again.
The people around them suddenly widened their eyes in surprise and stretched their necks to look at Lian Qin's hand. They had never seen such a foldable and buckling dagger...
Lian Qin became curious, imitated Zhuo Ye, pulled out other tools on the folding knife, and exclaimed: "What are these?!"
"That... is just some small tools such as small scissors and files. They are just accessories for the dagger." Zhuo Ye did not intend to explain them one by one.
"Where did you get such a delicate dagger?" Lian Qin couldn't put it down, playing with the folding knife.
"Ancestor, ancestral..." Zhuo Ye said with a twitching corner of his mouth. The word "ancestral" has almost become her mantra...
When Lian Qin and Lian Xiao heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes at the same time. The subtle changes in Zhuo Ye's expressions told them that she was not telling the truth...
Lian Xiao reached out and touched the poncho that Zhuo Ye used to wrap his travel bag before, and asked in confusion: "What kind of fabric is this? Is it transparent? Is it waterproof? I have never seen it before..."
Hearing this, Lian Qin curiously stretched out her hand and touched it. It felt smooth and the material was a bit thick. She had only seen that thin gauze be transparent, but she never expected that such a thick fabric could be transparent? Wait...
Should this be called fabric? Lian Qin has some doubts...
"This... I don't know what kind of material this is. I just got it by accident. I found it to be waterproof, so I made it into clothes and planned to wear it in rainy days." Zhuo Ye replied vaguely.
Lian Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a charming smile appeared on his lips, and did not continue to ask any more questions.
Lian Qin, Qiao Ling and others took a look at Zhuo Ye's strange package, thinking in their hearts: I wonder if there are any other weird things in it...
Lian Qin had no intention of exploring Zhuo Ye's origins before, but now, she is a little curious...
"The sea water is salty and astringent, and the fish is difficult to eat after being treated in the sea water. Let's go to the freshwater lake." Zhuo Ye said.
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Those who had recovered their strength helped the few who were still weak and walked towards the lake together.
Lakeside.
Lian Qin carefully cleaned up the fish they caught with a folding knife and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone was holding raw fish in their hands, and when they smelled the pungent fishy smell, they couldn't help but frown. Look at me, look at you, no one is willing to take the first bite.
In ancient China, people ate sashimi, but at that time sashimi was called "fish breasts." Wu Wei and the sailors were people who relied on the sea to eat, but they didn't dare to eat it.
With his appearance, Zhuo Ye knew clearly that there was no such way of eating in this time and space...
Zhuo Ye smiled, took the folding knife from Lian Qin's hand, cut a small piece of fish, put it into his mouth and chewed it, um, fresh! Tender! Smooth! The taste is really good! If you add some mustard, light soy sauce, and white vinegar
Mixed dipping sauces are even better…
Seeing that Zhuo Ye was eating with gusto, Lian Qin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, tore off a piece of fish, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and threw it into her mouth...

PS: I burst into tears... I was so confused that I forgot that yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival. I would like to send a belated blessing to my dear friends: Happy holidays! I'm so sorry...
Mo Mo has been very pressed for time recently, so I haven’t updated much these days. I hope you guys can understand me. The text of this chapter is nearly 3,400 words. I hope you can read it more easily. I coded it overnight. It’s considered as compensation. I’ve set it up.
Automatically follow up at 10 am. I feel sleepy and squint for a while. I have to go out before 7 am. Alas...
