Daming pirates
Chapter 37 Set sail and return
There is no human habitation on the island, so naturally no one can help them. No one can tell the exact location of this place at the moment. Only Liu Laoliu has been running on the sea the longest. It is roughly guessed that this island should be in Xiaohuang.
Northeast of the island, but I can’t be more specific.
After Meng Biao was bitten by a snake, everyone found many traces of snakes on the island. They couldn't help but feel a little insecure, fearing that it would be their turn next, so everyone discussed it overnight and decided to leave the island quickly.
It was better to return to land, but after dawn, everyone carefully inspected the ship again and found that their idea of leaving as soon as possible was simply unrealistic.
Because in the previous hurricane, the ship suffered relatively large damage at sea. Many seams on the hull of the boat began to leak due to too much stress, and the water leakage was relatively serious. After this night, the inside of the cabin was filled with water.
A lot of seawater seeped into it.
Moreover, they had lost their mast in the hurricane. Although they saved the sails, they could no longer use the broken sails on the ship. If they only relied on the broken oars on the ship, even if they left this desert
It is difficult to successfully return to the land or return to Xiaohuang Island. Otherwise, the boat will soon sink in the sea due to water leakage. Even if you can barely hold on, if it is subject to a little more wind and waves, the boat will definitely not be able to save it.
, if they insist on leaving here, it is almost like seeking death.
In desperation, everyone finally changed their minds and decided to simply repair the boat here first, mend the seams as much as possible, deal with the leakage problem, and also find a way to get a mast, at least to raise the sail.
Leave here and make sure they can find land or return directly to Xiaohuang Island.
Meng Biao's snake bite was not as serious as everyone imagined, probably because the snake that bit him was not a highly venomous snake, or maybe because Yu Xiaotian treated his wound quickly and effectively sucked out most of the snake venom.
In addition, the herbs Liu Laoliu collected to treat snakebites may also be effective, so although his legs were a little swollen after being bitten, the wound was a little blue and black, and he was a little dizzy, after a night's rest, he
The injury did not become more serious, and after a long sleep, his spirits were not bad.
After Yu Xiaotian tied his legs, he loosened the rope for a minute or two every half hour to an hour to ensure the blood circulation in his legs to avoid serious obstruction of blood circulation in his legs.
Cause necrosis.
After dawn, Liu Laoliu found two more kinds of herbs on the island. After pounding them, he applied half of them on his wounds, and the other half was made into a decoction for him to take internally. Meng Biao's snakebite was effectively contained.
He did not continue to develop in a bad direction, and his energy was better. Moreover, this guy was relatively strong-skinned and had quite good resistance. After taking the medicine, he started to eat and drink again, so Crazy Meng felt relieved.
Thank you God for your blessing, and thank you again and again to Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu.
For the next few days, everyone was busy working on the island, using everything they could find and use to start repairing their damaged boat.
There was limestone on the island, which was burned on a fire to turn it into lime, plus a limited amount of shredded hemp rope, smashed and dried bark fiber, and some plant ash, plus they temporarily boiled it with fish maw.
Isinglass and rosin scraped from the mountain pine were used to fill the leaking seams on the ship, and were compacted with wooden wedges. This basically solved the leaking problem of the ship.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian took Heitou and found a relatively straight pine tree on the island. After cutting it down, he dragged it to the beach. Liu Laoliu, Ma Lian, and Madman Meng only used limited tools and tried every means to erect the tree on the island.
He got on the ship and used it as a temporary mast. He also cut some wooden nails to strengthen the damaged hull. Although it was not as strong and durable as the previous mast and the height was not enough, it could at least raise half of the sail.
Compared with them leaning against the oar, it takes much less effort, which provides a strong guarantee for them to leave this desert island.
As for the rudder, they once again repaired and reinforced it. After trying it out, it was usable. Although it was very crude, the ship still restored its basic navigation capabilities. As for whether they wanted to completely repair the ship
, with their current resources, there is no need to think about it for the time being, and they can only wait until they return to Xiaohuang Island.
Because there were many snakes on the island, they had to move around the island. In order to prevent anyone from being bitten by venomous snakes again, everyone found rags to put on leggings and wrapped their calves tightly, and
Try to avoid going to places with lots of grass as much as possible, and always have a wooden stick in your hand. From time to time, you can beat it in the surrounding grass to scare away the snakes and drive them away. By being so cautious on the island, no one has been snaked again.
Bite injuries.
As for the problem of food and fresh water, they are not worried. There is rainwater accumulated in the small cave on the island, which is enough for them to drink. Although there is no food stored on the ship, there are many birds on the desert island, and countless seabirds live here.
By breeding, you can easily pick up enough eggs. At night, you can also catch seabirds very easily.
In addition, there are many snakes on the island. If you kill a few casually, chop off the snake's head, peel off the skin and remove the internal organs, you can make a quite delicious snake soup. Sometimes seabirds and snakes are stewed together, and everyone still eats them.
The one who enjoys the hardships laughs and calls it Dragon and Phoenix Soup.
In addition, there are a large number of shellfish and crabs on the beaches around the desert island, and occasionally some marine fish trapped in puddles at low tide can be caught on the beach. Therefore, after Yu Xiaotian and his gang landed on the island,
I never had to worry about food again.
Moreover, in order to store food for the next trip to sea, this group of people will also catch birds, snakes, fish and bird eggs that cannot be eaten for a while. They will either boil them in salt, or smoke them with pine branches and dry them in the sun to store them.
Everything is ready.
Although there were two heavy rains during the period, everyone hid in the small cave and did not suffer too much. In addition, they also collected a lot of fresh water and filled the small water tank on the boat with fresh water.
In their busy work, in the blink of an eye, they stayed on the island for 10 days. With their joint efforts, the ship was gradually repaired. On the 10th day after landing on the island,
In the morning, after everyone made a final careful inspection and confirmed that there were no major problems, they pushed the ship back into the sea again. They first rocked the oar to drive the ship away from the beach, then raised the sails and headed southeast with the sea breeze.
Sailing in the opposite direction, leaving this small desert island behind.
When they saw the sails that had caught the wind driving the ship forward, the people on the ship, young and old, couldn't help but cheered. Even those who had been lying around because of being bitten by snakes these days
Meng Biao, who was alive and well, had recovered to some extent at this time. He couldn't help but sit up in the cabin and watched the sea roaring loudly. The snake bite seemed to be better in an instant, but he was killed.
Crazy Meng was scolded, and at the same time he was severely despised by Black Head and another young man.
With the sails, the ship sailed much more smoothly on the sea. Liu Laoliu, Ma Lian and others carefully observed the sky for a while when they went out to sea, and concluded that the typhoon that almost killed them had completely passed now.
, there should be no strong winds on the sea in a short time, so they started sailing towards the southeast.
After more than a day of sailing, everyone on the boat saw land in the distance, and everyone cheered again. After Liu Laoliu, Ma-faced Meng Kuai and others observed carefully, they immediately determined their location.
"Haha! Horse face! Do you see it? Do you still remember where this is?" Liu Laoliu patted the side of the ship and laughed while asking the horse face.
The horse's face stared at the land in the distance, and the smile on its long face became much shorter now, and he replied with a smile: "Of course, I'm not blind, wasn't this the place where we went to the sea back then? Haha! This is good.
At this rate, if everything goes well, we will be able to return to Xiaohuang Island in one day and one night at most! Adjust the sails, adjust the sails! Crazy Meng, turn the rudder, we are here anyway, we don’t have to fucking dock anymore
Well, we might as well go back to the island directly!
I guess the people on the island are getting anxious now that we haven’t seen you for such a long time, and they might even have burned paper for us!”
After Yu Xiaotian saw the land, he was also very excited. After suffering for so many days, he finally survived again. Although he didn't know where this place was, from the words of Liu Laoliu and Ma Lian, he
, he could basically guess that it was actually not that far away from their Xiaohuang Island. Fortunately, they cut down the mast early, otherwise God knows whether they would have been blown to Java.
The next voyage can be said to be smooth sailing. Although the ship's mast is low, the sails cannot be raised at all, and the sails are not strong enough to take the wind. However, this also makes the ship's speed a little slower than before, and it is more troublesome to adjust the sails. The rudder board
It was a temporary patchwork, which made it easy for the ship to veer off course sometimes during operation, but with old sea wolves like Crazy Meng and Ma Lian controlling the rudder, it wouldn't veer too far.
On the way, they also bypassed Shuangfeng Island, which was often occupied by pirates. From a distance, they even saw two unidentified ships appearing outside Shuangfeng Island. According to Liu Laoliu, those two ships must belong to pirates.
The other party must have seen their little broken boat, but it was obvious that the pirates were not interested in their little broken boat at all, so they just let them sail past Shuangfeng Island and into the waterway outside Dongchong Peninsula.
In short, they saw Xiaohuang Island a little later than Liu Laoliu originally expected. When they saw Xiaohuang Island appearing in front of them, everyone became excited again. This time they went to sea and encountered a typhoon.
It came so suddenly that it almost killed everyone on the ship. Now after so many twists and turns, they finally returned to the small island where they depended on for survival. Including Yu Xiaotian, who had just arrived,
They couldn't help but feel a little excited. They stood on the boat and shouted towards Xiaohuang Island from a distance.
When they approached Xiaohuang Island, the people on the island also saw their ship. After a while, some people rushed to the beach, jumping and jumping, and some even cried, as if to welcome them.
Their return is normal.
Yu Xiaotian glanced at the island, and inadvertently glanced at the southern part of the island with the corner of his eye. He wanted to take a look at his boat hidden in the small bay in the south of the island, but he did not see the main pole exposed in the bay at a glance.
He was slightly startled and quickly took a closer look, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the ship's mast that should be in the small inlet, and his heart suddenly sank.
However, Yu Xiaotian was not too worried. After all, after more than ten days of missing news about them going to sea, the people on the island would inevitably worry about them. Maybe the people on the island sailed out to sea to look for them.
So after he thought of this, he felt more relieved.
(I have something to do today and I can’t sit down to type. Tomorrow I will break out three chapters for everyone! Next week will be the last week for this book on the new book list. If it is not firmly in the top three, it will be really sad! I hope
