General Ji and the others cut the stalagmite into three thirds and removed two of it. The remaining piece was still embedded in the tortoise shell, but he no longer asked anyone to smash it.
Under the watchful eyes of Xiaoyue and I, they built a high frame, using a pry bar with a three-pronged end, and tied it to the stalagmite with arm-thick hemp rope. Using the wooden frame as the fulcrum, a group of people
With a cry and a combined effort, they pulled out half of the stalagmite from the tortoise shell, just like pulling teeth.
I had to admire General Ji's resourcefulness. What I admired most was still behind him. I saw him climbing on the turtle's back and commanding the group. Instead of placing the half of the stalagmite on the ground, he directly moved the pry bar and pried it away.
The end of the bundle of stalagmites was aimed at another place that needed to be drilled. After looking at it for a long time, sometimes left and then right, the people underground pressed the other end of the pry bar with their hands, and some of them had already covered half of their bodies.
Pressed on it, everyone was panting like an ox, their feet moved chaotically, kicking up a layer of dust
Just listen to General Ji yelling, "His grandma is gone!" He waved his hand downwards.
After receiving the order, a group of people let go together, and the stalagmite pointed downwards and nailed it hard to the tortoise shell.
A slightly smaller hole appeared where the stalagmite nail was. They repeated the action three times. General Ji tilted his head and looked at the hole, then walked to the back and compared it with the original hole.
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Okay, you're done!"
Xiaoyue and I stopped looking at the carpenter's place. There were about ten people working there, and the wooden poles, planks, and wooden gears were all being made meticulously according to my requirements.
I need to send Xiaoyue back to Ink Island. Otherwise, if something happens to her on the way, how will I explain it to her master?
We walked slowly along the undersea tunnel. The torches on the cave wall were burning fiercely. Xiaoyue had a unique charm under the light of the torches. She was walking in front and I was watching from behind. From time to time, I felt a little distracted. But the tunnel
There will be people protecting the fire passing by, and I don’t dare to be too presumptuous.
As I walked and talked to her, she wrapped the pill in cloth and hung it around her neck. When we walked into the dark, a moon-like brilliance clearly appeared on her chest. I pretended not to know and lowered my head to look for it.
"What are you looking for? Brother Tian?"
"Sweet brother? Am I that sweet?"
"Brother Tian, you are good or bad. I don't know how I will be bullied by you when we are together in the future."
"So, you are planning to live with me from now on?" I chased after you.
"It's okay not to be together, because the lady wants to be with you, and I can't leave the lady." She said it lightly, and unknowingly, it came to an end.
We got out of the cave in Zhangdao. It was already dark outside. A waning moon was hanging on the horizon. The waves were swaying on the sea. General Su didn’t know where he was hiding. He couldn’t find the ship for a while. I said:
"Have you ever been to the top of Zhangdao since you came to the island? How about... I haven't climbed it either. How about we climb it once?"
Xiaoyue seemed to have noticed that there was something wrong in my words, but the surroundings were dark now. She had no idea and just muttered, "It's late, the lady must be waiting for me." But she was still pulled by me.
Climb up
The upper part of the island was already a bit steep. Once night fell, it was dark in front and back, with strange rocks and lush trees. Xiaoyue almost didn't let go of my hand all the way. In some areas, I almost had to hold my hand.
She hugged her
It can be seen that this is probably the first time in her life that she has taken such a risk. She is very nervous, but it is also the first time that she and I have climbed the island alone at night, and she is very excited.
We stood on the top of Zhangdao, and for the first time we had an overview of the situation here. If we look at the direction and distance of the underground tunnel, the dome we are constructing is right under Zhedao. For the first time,
When Sangou and I came to Zhangdao, we seemed to find that the water between the two islands was a little shallow. It should be caused by the difference in water depth from the surrounding areas. This tunnel I accidentally discovered connected Zhangdao at one end.
One end leads to Zhe Island, like a crouching dragon under the sea
In Longtou, an unprecedented ship is being built.
I pointed out my findings to Xiaoyue, and she looked thoughtful. Looking at the moon, I suddenly asked her:
"Xiaoyue, look at the moon. It's so narrow and you can't see anything. Uh, I wonder what you saw under the moon that night?"
Xiaoyue looked at me, her eyes in the darkness, and I pondered her thoughts for a long time, "What night? Brother Tian, what night are you talking about?"
"Isn't it that night?" I said
"What night is it? You should make it clear." I know she did it on purpose.
"I took a bath in the vegetable patch that night."
She hesitated and said, "It's too dark at night, so people can't see anything."
"Is it like now?" I said and put my lips together. She lowered her head and stopped talking. She said what was in her heart. I have been suffering from it for a long time. As the saying goes, if there is a flower that can be broken, it must be broken. Don't wait.
I don’t want to be like Liu Xiahui when I break branches without flowers. He may have been scolded by the woman in his arms many times. It’s not just wishful thinking. What are you afraid of?
Soon it would be a natural thing. I was a little impatient. My hands were scratching and groping at her, half pushing and half hitting. Xiaoyue's hand somehow touched my body, and she whispered:
"Brother Tian, why is it different from that night?"
"Which night? Didn't you say it was too dark at night and you didn't see anything?" Even in the dark, I could feel her face blushing. I was taking a shower that night, not doing errands, so of course it was different.
Xiaoyue's breathing became rapid. I knew she was a little scared, and I was scared too, but I faced the difficulties.
Xiaoyue's body was soft and unable to support her. She hugged my neck and her chest rose and fell rapidly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a small boat came out of the shadow under the island, and a person stood on the boat and spoke to us in a deep voice.
He asked, "Who is there?"
Depend on!
If there was no such sentence, why couldn't we omit five hundred words here? It was General Su. He seemed to have discovered the snake pill hanging on Xiaoyue's chest. As we rubbed our ears and temples together, the light of the pill flickered in and out, and finally
Let his old man find out
I said loudly, "It's General Su. We are getting impatient waiting for the boat."
Su Lang heard my voice and rowed the boat over
I took Xiaoyue down, and she glanced at me. I said to Su Lang, "We just wanted to go back. We couldn't see you, and it was inconvenient to call out, so we climbed up to a high place and let you notice it so quickly."
"
We boarded a small boat. General Xiaoyue Su and I wanted to send someone to take us off, but I didn't want to. Xiaoyue tugged on my lapel and asked quietly, "Can you row?"
I ignored her. Isn’t it that I don’t know how to study? I don’t know how to explore? Is rowing a boat more difficult than having sex with a woman?
Rowing in the sea is different from rowing in the park, this is the conclusion I have come to
First of all, the water here seems to have a more difficult-to-control habit. Sometimes one of my oars will stroke empty, and sometimes a lang will hit me, and I have to expend a lot of effort to straighten the crooked boat. Next
lang, crooked again
The two oars were squeaking and groaning when I broke them apart, but Xiaoyue was a little anxious because the boat was not going the right way, "Brother Tian, according to your rowing method, when can we reach the shore?"
I was sweating profusely and couldn't take care of myself. She stood up and wanted to help me. For the sake of face, could she help me? With such a push, my foot slipped and I fell into the sea like a "withered vine".
The water in my ears kept gushing, and when the water splashed away, I leaned over. Xiaoyue was leaning on the side of the boat, anxiously calling my name. When she saw my head exposed, she asked eagerly, "Brother Tian."
,Are you alright?"
I said it was okay and took off my clothes in the water. She said anxiously, "Don't catch a cold!"
I said, "Sit tight. You're already soaked anyway. I don't need to get on the boat. If I get on the boat, you won't let me do anything."
She said, "It's already here, but you still have this heart!"
I threw the wet clothes on the boat, Xiaoyue picked them up and wrung them dry, hung them on the handle of the oar to dry, then lay on the stern of the boat and looked at me. I was below, treading on the water, chatting with her while pushing her forward.
