From the bushes, we carried out two people, one old and one young.
The old man was in his fifties, with a thin face, and a jacket with only three cloth buckles sewn on. There were several holes, and the washboard-like ribs could be seen from there.
The younger one is seventeen or eight years old, not tall, with round shoulders and a layer of peeling white skin.
It seems that both of them have been without water for at least two days. Their lips are chapped and their complexions are dark and yellow.
The young couple rushed forward and called them loudly. All four of them had smiles on their faces, letting me know that the happiest thing in the world is nothing more than this.
General Su carefully put the water bag to the mouths of the two people, and moistened the corners of their lips drop by drop, and then fed them a little water. We also brought a little bit of dried meat, two pieces for each person.
Chewed
We carried the two of them to the canoe, and the young couple jumped in, walking on the water while we walked on foot. Walking back from the shore, two white pigeons also flew onto their boat, cooing.
When I came back, I found the only shark, cut out five sharp teeth from its mouth with a dagger, punched holes with a knife, then peeled off the crocodile skin, dried it, cut it into strips, twisted it into ropes, and strung them together.
He came to the cabin excitedly and hung a shark tooth around each of their necks.
"What do you mean?" they asked at the same time.
"I seem to have heard that if you hang shark teeth on your body, there will be no shark bites in the sea. From now on, we will be wandering in the sea for a long time, and we will inevitably deal with sharks. If you hang one, you will be the same as the sharks.
Now that we are old acquaintances, they won’t make things difficult for you.”
Five shiny shark teeth hung on their snow-white necks, which added to the fun. They put the shark teeth in their hands and played with them, "Really, thank you so much."
"It doesn't matter just talking. If you want to thank me, just wait until tonight." I said and went to Tian Wang's place because during the battle with the crocodile, we had an injured person.
He is the man who saved me with a wooden paddle. He is sitting in Tian Wang's house, being comforted by Tian Wang.
Tian Wang always looked at the warriors in a different light, and would sometimes personally serve them tea and water.
The sergeant's right wrist was bitten by a crocodile. Since he was running, his feet were unstable. After being bitten, he did not subconsciously break free and fell into the water. In addition, I rescued him in time, and the crocodile
Before I could do anything, I cut off his mouth, so the injury was not serious.
However, there was also a deep, zigzag-shaped wound on the outer edge of his wrist. Fortunately, it did not hurt any muscles or bones.
King Tian asked his name, and it was General Su who answered beside him, "Wang, have you forgotten? He is Huang Yan and he was the one who broke the enemy general's horse leg with one stick in the battle of Pengcheng."
King Tian recalled, "Oh, oh, I have the impression that in today's battle with the crocodile, it was you who saved my good son-in-law. He is so young and courageous. Su Lang, why not let him be your lieutenant?"
"King, I'm waiting for your instructions," Su Lang said
"Then it's settled"
Huang Yan hurriedly stood up and bowed down, thanking King Tian.
Tian Wang said, "I think this island is a good place to park a boat. When the boat enters the bay, it doesn't matter how windy it is, but I don't know what it's called?"
The old man who was rescued by us was also nearby. He replied, "We have been fishing in this sea for generations. When we talk about this place, it is only called Wanli Changsha, and it is also called Wanli Shitang, but there has never been a name. We usually use the carrier pigeon.
"Contact"
King Tian looked at the crowd and pondered, "Why don't we just call it Huangyan Island and name it after my warriors. Is it okay for everyone?"
Everyone unanimously applauded, "It would be nice to call it Huangyan Island." So, this island was called "Huangyan Island" from then on.
Huangyan Island is a huge mountain peak above the water surface at a depth of 3,500 meters. It covers an area of 150 square kilometers. From the geological structure, it is a natural extension of the Chinese continental shelf.
"Anyway, there is nothing to do in the evening. Why not take a night walk on the island and see our Huangyan Island?" Tian Wang suddenly became interested.
King Tian, the three generals, me, the old man and his son, all got off the big boat. We had already anchored the boat at the northwest corner of the island's lagoon. All we had to do was get on the small boat and row to the shore.
The water was not peaceful. From time to time, one or two crocodile backs appeared not far away. However, a burst of killings during the day seemed to make them fearful of this group of people. When we approached, they all quietly disappeared into the water.
At the southeastern end of the Huangyan Island Lagoon, there is a channel two to three hundred meters wide that connects to the open sea. The deepest part of this channel is only about ten meters. Even a giant turtle boat like ours can easily sail in.
King Tian said to the old man: "You have been fishing in the open sea all year round, and you will always encounter big langs. Isn't it dangerous like this time?"
"Wang, what you said is indeed true. We usually take shelter here."
King Tian said to General Su, "I see that there are trees all over the island. It's not as good as tomorrow. We will use our people and help to build a few wooden houses on the shore with water and food inside."
"King, do we want to settle here?" Su Lang asked
"I'm creating a place for fishermen to rest," Wang said.
"Thank you so much, King Tian," the old man stopped.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"I dare to ask Wang, have you ever noticed that there was something missing when you first saw our father and son?"
We all tried our best to recall, but what was missing? King Tian said, "Judging from the casualties, you are only missing the ship. I am also surprised why there are not even any pieces of wood. Could it be that they were all lost in the sea?"
"Report to the king, if the wooden ship sank in the sea, it would be impossible for my father and son to swim this far to reach the island. You see, from the entrance of the lagoon waterway to here, we can go straight for no more than twenty or thirty miles, not to mention, we have to go from the place where the ship sank in the sea.
, You can’t get here if you don’t want to travel.”
"Brother, you might as well tell us right away and stop beating around the bush," General Su said.
The old man sighed and said, "If it's just based on the wind, that's it. It's just an eight-hundred-mile waterway from here to the east. There are three small countries along the coast. They think they are close to here and often come to harass me. Originally, this time the big lang,
My father and son's boat did not sink. We arrived here to take shelter before the storm. However, the boat was snatched away by them and we were trapped here. We couldn't walk, and we ran out of water and dry food."
"I wonder what the names of those three small countries are?" King Tian's eyes immediately widened, and our emotions also rose. It seems that King Tian is going to arrange a task for us again.
"The one in the northeast is called Banggui Shilan Country, because people there like to raise animals in fences; the one to the east is called Donkey Song Country, because the people there regard donkeys as their ancestors; and the southeastern one is called the Ant Country, because
People are short in stature.”
"They raise pigs, respect donkeys, move soil and dig holes. They have nothing to do with me, so why do they have anything to do with us?" King Tian asked.
