Chapter 349 New Island (12)

When no one is watching, Huang Si is too lazy to pretend.

This storm was originally not far from this sea area.

Huang Si just changed its course slightly, allowing it to chase after the sailboat.

This serves several purposes.

One, and the main purpose, is to allow the ship to drift to the vicinity of a large island in a logical manner.

This big island is a natural island, not an artificial island. The island is rich in products, which not only play an economic role, but also serve as a relay station for continued voyages.

Even, there is fresh water on the island.

Although there are only one or two springs, it is estimated that they will not be able to find them for a while.

Therefore, for the convenience of the human race's development of navigation, Huang Si went there ahead of time and dug a large freshwater lake on the island.

With this lake, the island is a perfect way point.

The second is to teach these people the knowledge of ocean voyages.

This is why Huang Si talked so much with Gu Jing and the captain.

Apart from astronomy that cannot be taught casually, other orientation judgments, weather discrimination, wind direction prediction, seasonal changes of ocean currents, etc. are roughly taught.

The third is that seeing the wind and waves are too big, so I taught the knowledge of how to steer in the complicated marine environment.

Now, since the human race has all entered the ship, there is no need to suffer for them anymore.

Despite the gusts of wind and the torrential rain outside.

Although there are dazzling electric lights flashing in the dark clouds in the distance.

Although a small tornado has spawned in the storm.

However, the ship is safe.

It's going to shake all night tonight.

But it won't turn over.

Slowly, the sky is getting darker and darker.

Night fell.

In the cabin of the sailing boat, the human races hugged each other and squeezed together.

Gu Qian leaned in his father's arms, while Gu Jing put one arm around his son.

Gu Yu also quietly leaned aside.

The three members of the family chose not to sleep at the same time, but kept vigil with everyone in the cabin.

"Father, can we survive?"

Gu Qian asked in a low voice.

"can."

Gu Jing replied without hesitation.

He actually didn't know if he would survive.

However, with that person outside, it seems that all the impossible things can become possible.

Even in such a terrible storm.

It also seems that there will be a miracle.

After seeing Huang Si's amazing behaviors, he began to have such a belief.

Gu Jing stretched out his arms to hug the two juniors.

"Qian'er, Yu'er, I can't die here yet."

Although he couldn't see the outside scene, he still raised his head and spoke with longing.

"What's the outside world like, I haven't seen it yet."

"I heard that the sea is surrounded by endless void."

"The ocean flows down from the edge of the world, into the void."

"It is also said that the land ends at the end of the sea."

"It's another world flowing with milk and honey."

"Is there really another world besides the world of the human race?"

"Could there be something we've never seen before..."

"I made a mirror out of crystal, and I can see far away, but I can't see anything beyond the sky, and I can't see anything beyond the sea..."

"I heard that the edge of the earth is the sea, and the edge of the sea is the void, and the sea will flow into the void. If the sea has an end, I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

Gu Jing spoke excitedly, his beard moving.

This is his lifelong pursuit.

It is also the reason why he, as the head of the family, leaves his career and goes on long voyages from time to time.

As he spoke, he was already in tears.

"Father."

"uncle."

Gu Qian and Gu Yu gathered around and comforted their elders.

The three hugged each other.

This is the longest night ever.

Under the leadership of the sailors, they prayed to the wind god and also prayed for Huang Si who was guarding outside.

I don't know if it is really blessed by the gods, even though they encountered the biggest hurricane and the most terrible waves according to the old sailor, the boat was just pushed forward without capsizing.

I don't know how long it has passed.

The shaking of the hull gradually stopped.

Eventually stabilized.

The sailors left the cabins that controlled the navigation, came to the deck, and looked into the distance.

The first ray of sunlight in the sky fell.

Projecting sparkling waves on the sea, brilliant and dazzling.

Through the waves, they looked into the distance, and then, they were stunned.

Not far away from the calming ocean, where the water meets the sky——

There is a series of ups and downs in the arc.

That arc is not blue, but yellow, green, and white.

Yellow ones, probably sandy beaches.

Green, probably vegetation.

White, possibly rock.

That's an island!

It's Big Island!

Maybe even land!

Many sailors cheered in unison.

Gu Jing also brought his two nephews onto the deck.

It's just that he cared more about the man who had been guarding the deck last night than the new discovery.

Gu Jing looked to the rear of the ship.

However, the place was empty.

He took a few steps over there, looking anxiously.

No, no one is anywhere.

The hatch was not opened overnight.

No one knocked on the door at night.

"Mr. Huang!"

Gu Jing yelled loudly.

"Mr. Huang! Are you still there! Are you okay?"

His heart was beating heavily, and an uneasy premonition filled his mind.

The sailors also noticed something was wrong.

"Where is Mr. Huang?"

"That's right, why isn't Mr. Huang on board? Could it be that he fell into the sea!"

"Quick!! Let's find Mr. Huang!"

The sailors scattered in all directions, on board the ship, and searched at sea.

However, no matter how they searched, they never found that figure again.

Gu Jing staggered and half-kneeled on the ground.

The voices of the sailors became irritable, even crying.

The hero who saved them all last night is missing.

It is very likely that he has been buried in the sea.

The captain came out of the captain's room and walked to Gu Jing's side.

"Mr. Huang... did he accidentally fall into the sea when we were all hiding safely..."

The captain uttered a judgment that no one dared to speak out.

Gu Jing's fingers were tightly gripped on the deck.

"I was wrong……"

"I shouldn't have left him outside alone..."

"If I could stay with him..."

"It must not be like this!"

Tears of regret rolled down his cheeks.

His fingers clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palm.

The captain also squatted beside him, staring blankly at the sea.

"Yeah... If I hadn't been greedy for life and afraid of death, if I hadn't been in a hurry to go back..."

"If I hadn't relied too much on him..."

"I can definitely think of it...he is only one person, it's too dangerous to leave him outside for one night..."

An old sailor came over, and he also wiped away his tears.

"No, Captain, Mr. Gu, it's our fault! We should have sent someone up to check on Mr. Huang's condition. Maybe... just in time to see him fall into the water. In that case, at least we still have a chance to save him. he……"

The rest of the people gathered together one by one and confessed their mistakes.

The joy of discovering the island is almost swept away in an instant.

In the end, it was the captain who took the lead and brought the props for the memorial ceremony on the ship.

Candles, incense sticks, salted fish...things like that.

The fat cook even cried and brought a large bunch of dried oysters, saying that it was his treasured delicacy. Huang Si couldn't eat it when he was alive. He regretted it. Now he can only throw it into the sea, hoping to comfort his soul. .

But.

Just at this time.

From a certain position behind the ship, below, came a faint but familiar voice:

"I, still, no, dead..."
