Chapter 769 A ray of light
I:"……"

Lao Ben looked very angry: "Treasures are made by people. They were used by people in the past, they are used by people now, and they will be used by people in the future. If you pick them up and use them for people, you won't lose anything at all! But you guys Now let it become a dead thing that will never see the light of day! Isn’t it interesting?!!!”

I looked at him and said nothing.

Lao Benniu's eyes bulged, and he yelled angrily: "You have nothing to say?! You speak!"

I didn't really want to talk to him.

But seeing how confident he was with a paradox of realistic egoism, I just couldn’t help it.

I said: "Lao Ben, let me ask you a question."

Lao Ben gritted his teeth and stared at me.

I asked: "Generals in ancient times would choose to commit suicide if they failed in a battle and were captured by the enemy. Do you know the reason for this?"

Lao Ben shouted: "Because scholars can be killed and not humiliated!"

I nodded: "But according to your theory just now, in fact, regardless of whether they are captured or not, people have nothing to lose by eating three meals a day. If they are willing to take the initiative to surrender, they may even get better treatment. There is a risk of committing suicide. What’s the point?”

Lao Ben asked: "What does this have to do with treasures?!"

I said: "Of course it does matter! You materialized all the treasures and rejected the maximum value of the treasures. In addition to being valuable, it also represents a kind of inheritance!"

"As an object, it is a pity that it is damaged and perished. But as a spirit, it is more meaningful to let it be damaged and perished without letting outsiders insult and interfere with it than to simply let it exist, because this protective spirit is to illuminate future generations along the way. A ray of light for man’s path to continue to move forward, to create, to be glorious!”

"A land must always have light to survive all suffering and darkness!"

The muscles on Lao Ben's face twitched.

I don't want to explain too much.

Because he couldn't digest it at all.

Road is different.

Not to conspire with each other.

The next day.

I turned back to Fanggong Island again to observe the situation. Nothing changed throughout the morning. The support ship was still docked next to Wei Reef in the distance, motionless. But in the afternoon, the support ship suddenly started and ran forward like crazy. Go, as if running for your life.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurry back to He Guang's ship.

When I arrive.

He Guang was hurriedly directing everyone to pack their things.

I asked what happened.

He Guang pointed to the sky and said anxiously: "The ocean current is coming, we must leave immediately!"

I looked up.

When we returned just now, the sky was clear, but now it suddenly became overcast.

No wonder the support ship suddenly went crazy and left.

I quickly helped clean up.

Wait till everything is done.

He Guang started the motor and drove the boat out, but it only took about [-] minutes. The whole world was dark, so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. The wind roared on the sea, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, which was extremely scary.

He Guang's face turned pale with fright.

He immediately turned the boat around and headed back.

What He Guang meant was that in such a strong ocean current weather, if there was enough horsepower to guarantee the ship, it would be possible to rush through it. However, the ship was too small and not fast enough to withstand the strong ocean currents. It would be a dead end if it rushed out.

We are not professional in matters at sea, so we can only follow He Guang's advice.

We have just returned.

The rain started pouring down immediately.

The boat rocked and swayed beside the rocks.

He Guang was like crazy and ordered us to strengthen the anchor in the rain, saying that if the ship was washed away, there would be no shit here, and there would be no way to contact the outside world, it would be completely finished.

Now everyone was like grasshoppers on a rope, and Lao Ben ran over to help with a pale face.After working in the rain for a long time, everyone finally reinforced the anchor. Everyone was drowned in the water and ran to the caves inside the island to take shelter.

The rain keeps falling.

The wind howled incessantly.

I felt the terrifying power of nature.

Waited for a day and a night.

The wind and rain still don't stop.

Two very bad situations occurred. One was that the five of us had no food. The other was that the little tiger girl Hu Qin was caught in the rain. As a woman, she did not dare to take off her clothes and put on a pair of underpants to wring out her clothes like us. Wearing wet clothes stuck to my body all the time, the moisture invaded my body, and I had a high fever. I was so burned that I lost consciousness and started talking nonsense.

We are in a hurry.

But there was no other way except to use clothes to get some water to physically cool her forehead.

He Guang and Lao Ben began to try to go out in the rain to find food, but they found some grass roots and sea fish rolled up by the wind and waves. The lighters and other things that we had on us to make fire were useless because they were all used up by the rain when we tied the boat. I can only eat raw food.

It was so fishy that it was hard to swallow.

The little tiger girl Hu Qin’s fever never went away.

We adopted some crude methods, such as pulling the vertebrae, bleeding from fingertips, and inducing vomiting... with almost no effect.

Sanheizi said: "If this burns her, her brain will probably be damaged, and she will really become a little tiger girl by then."

Fortunately.

On the third day.

The little tiger girl Hu Qin's fever subsided a little, but she still didn't wake up.

The storm continues outside.

Because the exit from the cave had been destroyed by wind and rain, we could not go out to catch fish, and we were in a state of running out of ammunition and food.

Everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

I thought it would be better to be poisoned by the bald flower snake. Being stunned can save a lot of energy. I guess the sea monkeys on Fanggong Island will be in much better condition than us.

It lasted three more days.

The little tiger girl Hu Qin's fever kept recurring, her whole body became bloodless, and she never woke up.

But we almost didn’t have the energy to feed her or take care of her anymore, because everyone was so hungry that they almost fainted, and they were all leaning against the wall of the molten cave to save the last bit of energy.

The next day.

I was dreaming that I was having a big meal at the Jinling Hotel.

Sanheizi suddenly shouted: "Wake up! Everyone wake up! The ocean current is passing through!"

We struggled to get up and take a look.

Although it's a mess outside.

But the sky is already clear.

Everyone became excited and forced themselves to go out.

The exit outside the cave collapsed.

We could only jump into the sea and swim to the place where the boat was tied.

Because Hu Qin, the little tiger girl, had been unconscious, everyone took over one by one and took her aboard with great effort.

The boat is in very good condition.

He Guang's eyes shone, he started the motor and drove out.

To leave here, you have to go around Fanggong Island.

I saw the shore of Fanggong Island. The spare boat that Sanheizi and I had left for the sea monkeys had disappeared. The footsteps on the mud next to it were very fresh. Apparently these sea monkeys had also survived, and they left before us.

When passing by the sea where the Qin ship sank.

Lao Ben stared blankly at the sea and suddenly burst into tears.
