Allure of a Country Maiden

There were rocks everywhere under the water. Xiaoer and Jiang Tao struggled to control the sails. In order to avoid the deadly rocks, the boat moved extremely slowly.

Dishaowei and the soldiers leaned on the railing of the boat, leaning out half of their bodies to look at the sea.

Black reefs are vaguely visible under the sea water.

The ship did not carry much cargo and the draft was not too deep.

Sometimes when the helmsmen see the hull of the ship scraping against the rocks or the bottom of the ship scratching through some places that vaguely look like rocks, they can't help but feel their hearts pounding, and there is a tendency for cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

The chief helmsman couldn't help but wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead: "How about I jump down to see the situation?"

"I'll go too!" It was so painful to watch on this boat, he was almost scared out of his wits!

"I think this method will work. Team up two people and look left and right to avoid panic on the boat!"

"Yes, yes, this is a good method! It's better to see better in the water, because you can see more clearly in the water. On the boat, you can only watch and worry, and there is nothing you can do!"

"Then let's go down first!"

"Okay, come up later and let me do it!"

"good"

…

Xiaoer naturally has no objection to this.

It's summer now, so it doesn't matter if you jump into the sea water, you won't get frozen.

The people who jumped into the water swam around and saw so many rocks. They were even more panicked than they were on the boat. How lucky they are that their boat has not hit the rocks so far.

It’s really a blessing from Bodhisattva!

"Hurry, go left, hurry, or it's too late, and... we're going to hit you! Hurry!" The chief helmsman jumped anxiously when he saw the boat was about to hit a sharp reef in the water! Push the hull hard with both hands!

The heavy body moving on the bow of the ship deviated from the reef at the last second. The chief helmsman breathed out a breath, which scared him to death! My courage is about to break!

…

"Ah! It's here too, turn around and turn to the right! Turn to the right! Don't come over, don't come over! Turn to the right! Don't you hear me!..."

The people on the boat looked at Xiao'er and the two people, and at the people dancing on the water, and they were also very anxious.

"No! Stop! Stop! Stop! Go away! Go over there, go over there..." This man was so anxious that he was incoherent. Which way was that?

If you tell God to know, the earth to know, the water to know, the birds to know, and the fish to know, why don’t you tell people to know it?

The people on the boat couldn't help shouting: "Fuck you! Which way is that!"

Your father and I are really anxious!

…

"No! Come down quickly and help push me. Quick, quick, quick!"

"Everyone who can swim should go to the sea to help!" Di Shaowei quickly ordered the soldiers.

…

"How is the girl?" Di Shaowei ran over and asked Xiao'er if she wanted to stop and swim over.

But it’s still so far away…how to travel?

"do not bother me!"

Ignoring the shouts and screams of the people in the water, Xiaoer replied to Di Shaowei, then with a serious face, she concentrated on following the guidance and instructions of Bai Tian and Tian Bai, doing quick mental calculations, and doing her best to accurately control the sail!

Dishaowei: "..."

He was the only one left on the deck. Di Shaowei used Qinggong to jump further out to the sea, and started his first reef exploration trip in his life!

This island is actually very big including the underwater rocks, but most of it is buried under the sea water, which is so embarrassing.

The reefs under the seabed are of different depths, but if there are navigation marks, it is still possible.

But for Xiaoer, not having it means having it!

All the problems in the world have been overcome by humans!

―――

Shangguan Xuanyi had long seen a ship coming. During the two months he had been here, a total of two ships had appeared, both far away from the island. One ship sank just as it was walking. The other one, further away, drove away directly.

The distance was too far and he couldn't even call for help.

On this current ship, he could vaguely see a bright yellow flag flying on the top of the white sail. Their military flag was this color.

Finally found it?

Shangguan Xuanyi has never worried that no one will come to find him. What he worries about is the vast sea. He doesn't know what year or month he will be found.

On this stone island, except for a useful stone cave, he didn't recognize any of the plants and trees on the island, and he didn't know which ones were edible. Except for occasionally picking up some fish, shrimps and crabs, there is no shortage of drinkable water!

So luckily I had the space given by that girl, otherwise I would have died of thirst instead of starvation!

"Master Shangguan, I saw a boat coming! Can we go home?" The little boy's name was Wan Fusheng. He looked up at this person who made him a little scared but also admired him very much.

"I don't know." Although Shangguan Xuanyi was a little certain in his heart, he was not sure whether the ship could come over.

"Oh." After hearing this, the little boy was very disappointed, "Master Shangguan, the sun is almost up in the sky, I'm going to cook."

This time Shangguan Xuanyi didn't reply, he just stood here motionless and watched the ships moving slowly in the distance.

After staying on this island for two months, even those who can endure loneliness will find it boring, not to mention there are people they really want to see.

He urgently needed to go back, and he didn't know if the girl would come to Nanzhou regardless of her.

What would the girl do if she knew she was missing? He had guessed more than once that he would definitely come to Nanzhou to find him.

Thinking of this, the light in his eyes heated up when he looked at the big ship in the distance.

Wan Fusheng didn't care that Mr. Shangguan didn't reply. He was used to Mr. Shangguan not saying a word for a whole day.

It doesn't matter if Mr. Shangguan doesn't speak. Just tell him what you want. The days when no one talks to you are boring to death.

But sometimes when I talk to Mr. Shangguan, he will think that I am noisy and tell me to shut up.

Wan Fusheng returned to the cave and began washing rice for cooking.

The cave that Brother Shangguan found is really good. Not only does it have rice, flour and other grains, but the pile of these grains is even more than what he has at home.

The rice is the best he has ever seen. The rice is fragrant, sweet and soft. He can eat two bowls at a time!

Kitchen utensils and tableware are all available, and there is no shortage of firewood, rice, oil, and salt! And these things are better than what he has at home! All the bowls in his house were chipped, and none of them had a intact edge that could be used as a mouthful.

There must have been a big landowner who lived here. My mother said that only the big landowners’ families had all they could eat every day!

Moreover, Brother Shangguan would find some vegetables and meat on the island and come back every day.

The food here is simply better than at home.

Not only do you eat well, you also feel full!

Wan Fusheng thinks that life like this is good, but no matter how good it is, he still hopes to go home as soon as possible. He misses his parents so much.

When Shangguan Xuanyi returned to the cave, Wan Fusheng had just prepared the meal.

The two of them ate in silence.

Wan Fusheng used to say as many words as the grains of rice he ate after a meal.

But in the first sentence of the first meal with Mr. Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan said coldly: "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep!"

Then he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't even dare to make the slightest sound while eating or carrying vegetables.

Because Brother Shangguan did it without making any sound, and the posture and movements of eating, no matter how you look at it, it looks so good!

He forgot to eat at that time.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the ship for a while after dinner, and now he was sure that the ship was coming to this island.

Otherwise, after such a period of time, we would have gone far away and would not be getting closer.
