Chapter 477 There is an island ahead
The waves are surging into the sky, and the night is as thick as ink.
The pirate's body has been swept into the deep sea. Most of Zhu Pingan's body is soaked in the sea water. He is holding on to the edge of the wooden cabinet with both hands. Slightly relying on the buoyancy of the wooden cabinet, the storm drenched him like a drowned rat. Yes, there are still blood stains on his face that have not been washed away by the rain.
Although he was in a miserable state, his expression was bright and the corners of his mouth were curved.
Thinking about the twists and turns, dancing with the god of death, and walking on the edge of death several times, I am afraid that I will never forget this experience. This is probably especially true for Li Shu and Baozi's little maid. They were so pampered that they never imagined that they would experience such bloody events.
The storm continued, and the waves did not stop. Although the waves were not as huge as the previous two times, the strong winds and waves still continued. The wooden cabinet floating on the sea was washed away from the original sea area by the wind and waves, and drifted farther and farther with the waves.
The navy in the distance has returned for reinforcements. Zhu Pingan saw the faint light of the navy in the distance in the sea. That should be the location of the attack.
“Here, here, look here.”
“Look here, we are here.”
“Help, we are here, come quickly …”
"Come quickly, young lady and uncle, we are all here..."
Li Shu and the little maid Baozi saw the light from the navy ship from a distance, and couldn't help but excitedly lay on the wooden cabinet and looked towards He waved from a distance, and when he waved his arms, his upper body twisted. He shouted for help and used all his strength to suck the milk.
The sound is no longer loud, and the movements are no less obvious!
It’s just that in this dark night, on this stormy sea, their voices were covered by the roar of the stormy waves before they could travel very far, and they couldn’t travel very far at all, let alone the lights in the distance. A little bit of water division. The sound of the violent storm and turbulent waves was tens of thousands of times louder than their cries for help.
“Are you blind?”
"Are you deaf?"
"When we get back, I want you to look good."
"Ah, we are here, can't such a big person see it? We are angry. ! ”
Li Shu and Baozi were full of hope at first, but then they became disappointed, and then angry.
Zhu Ping'an also shouted a few times at first, but after finding that it was of no use, he tried hard to paddle the wooden cabinet with his hands and feet in the water, trying to paddle the wooden cabinet to the navy, but it took a long time. , a wave came and was photographed back before liberation.
It's also useless.
It would be okay if it was daytime. Zhu Ping'an could try to stand on the wooden cabinet and lift up Li Shu or Baozi's colorful clothes and wave them for help. It should be very possible. But on this dark and stormy night, don't think too much.
The waves on the sea were still there. Zhu Pingan and the others drifted farther and farther with the cabinet. Gradually, the light from the navy ship in the distance could no longer be seen. The wind was strong and the waves were high, and the waves kept drifting. In the violent storm, The wooden cabinet seems to have been abandoned by the world, drifting with the tide.
There is no trace left.
Friend, have you ever experienced despair?
Wuwu...
The hopeless despair completely defeated the little maid Baozi.
Baozi’s little maid looked at the disappearing navy light, couldn’t help but wrinkled her face, sobbed, then bit her lips, opened her mouth wide, and started to cry with tears. A runny nose, not to mention how sad it is.
Although Li Shu was disappointed, she did not cry like the little maid Baozi.
"Stop crying, just wait until daybreak and the Navy sends a search and rescue ship. Now keep your strength and wait for daybreak."
Zhu Pingan looked at the two and comforted them. As for whether the Navy would send out a search and rescue ship after dawn, and whether the dispatched search and rescue ship would be able to find the three of them, Zhu Pingan was not sure, but now he could only comfort them like this. , although drawing a cake cannot satisfy hunger, it is at least a hope.
Sometimes, as long as you give a hope, you can persevere and miracles will happen.
“Really?” Baozi’s little maid sobbed, looking at Zhu Pingan with a bulging face and asked.
"Of course, Li Shu is the niece of the Marquis of Linhuai, I am a sixth-grade official of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the personal maid. How dare they not save you?" Zhu Ping'an replied with an affirmative look.
"Woo, oh, yes." The little maid Baozi had hope, sobbed twice, and gradually stopped.
Li Shu glanced at Zhu Pingan and said nothing. She could think of what Zhu Pingan thought of. Whether a search and rescue ship would be dispatched after dawn and whether the search and rescue ship could see them were all questions. Now they had drifted no matter how far away they were. Of course, she would not remind Little Maid Baozi of this.
“In the distance, in the darkness, there was a little light. It moved over, and then, a woman appeared in the light. She was dressed in aqua clothes, with fine eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Her jade-like skin beat the frost and snow. There seems to be an eerie beauty in this darkness, and there is a soul-stirring and strange beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly opened his mouth, stunned and speechless. This woman was actually the girl in green he met in the Shanhaiyuan of Heyang City when he came down the mountain."
Zhu Ping'an wanted to Encourage the two girls to persevere and tell the story of "Zhu Xian" while soaking in the sea while paying attention to the waves.
"Skin can outshine frost and snow, so how white does it have to be?" asked the little maid of Baozi.
"Duobai, um, she's almost like your lady." Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu in the dark and said casually.
"Daughter-in-law, when did you see my skin? It's all nonsense." Li Shu pursed her mouth and said coquettishly, her pretty face flushed.
"Yes, yes, my lady's skin is really as white as snow." The little maid Baozi nodded her little head and agreed with Zhu Pingan.
"You girl, follow suit, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart." Li Shu said, reaching out her little hand and gently grabbing the bun-shaped face of the little girl named Baozi.
Then, the sound of girls playing together came from the sea, adding a bit of life.
As time went by, the storm on the sea gradually stopped, but the waves remained, and the three of them drifted with the waves without knowing where they were.
"It's so cold..."
Li Shu, who was lying on the wooden cabinet, tightened her tight clothes and couldn't help but shiver a little. It was already past midnight and the weather was right. When it's cold, especially after a storm, the sea is even colder. Li Shu, a pampered young lady, had never been short of clothes and could not adapt to this cold weather.
"Put on my clothes. I won't need to soak in the sea water." Zhu Ping'an took off his coat, wrung out the moisture from the clothes, and handed it to Li Shu. One is to thank Li Shu for saving his life just now; the other is that as he said, he is soaking in the sea water, no matter how much clothes he wears, it is useless. He might as well keep Li Shu and the others warm from the cold, and wearing clothes is a waste; in addition, The temperature inside the sea water is slightly higher than outside, so it doesn’t matter if one thing is missing.
Zhu Ping'an was also wearing a white middle coat, and there would be nothing indecent about taking off his coat.
"No, you don't have much to wear." Li Shu shook her head.
After Zhu Pingan explained again and again, Li Shu took the clothes from Zhu Pingan, and put on Zhu Pingan's clothes with the little maid Baozi and hugged each other for warmth.
The waves are still there, and Zhu Ping'an's story-telling voice has been accompanying the waves. Slowly, the sky in the distance becomes slightly brighter, and an island appears not far ahead. It should be a small island in the sea along the coast.
The three of them met with joyful expressions on their faces. They finally saw land. Although it was a small island, it was better than being soaked in the sea all the time. (End of this chapter)
