Chapter 395, the island competes for existence
The wind is clear and the clouds are light and the air is clear.
The trees on the island are shaded, and no one can see that this island, which is only a few miles in radius, has such a rich plant species, from short shrubs to tall and straight trees, which are regularly scattered in all corners of the island.
The only thing missing on the island is large animals.
The bright sun shines on the sea, and it looks like a little golden light, as if many stars have been removed from the sky and floating on the rippling sea.
The copper head was sitting on the beach boredly, squinting at the sea, looking like a ruffian hooligan.
"Wan!" With a sound, Ye Guoming floated from the water: "Then!" With a raised hand, a big fish weighing two catties threw it towards the dazed copper head.
There are already a lot of fish on the beach, and large and small fish almost cover the whole beach.
The copper head reached out to catch it and sighed loudly, "It seems that I'm going to eat fish again today."
"What do you eat without fish? Can you find something else to eat?" Ye Guoming came up from the water and wore a pair of shorts all over his body. His strong body was tanned bronze because he had been playing in the water for days. He sat next to the copper head: "If it hadn't been for the fish to eat, we would have fallen into the same fate as pirates."
"That's not necessarily!" Tongtou shouted, "This island is so big and the plants are so dense that I don't believe that I can't find anything edible."
Ye Guoming smiled bitterly and said, "As long as you are not afraid of diarrhea again, go to find it. However, no matter what you find, you have to eat it first."
The copper head turned his head and looked at a middle-aged humane who had been standing beside Ye Guoming with a sparse goatee and frowning his eyebrows: "Xiao Zhi, it's up to you. If there is any accident, it can be regarded as paying for the life of the person killed by you with pirates."
Xiao Zhi was the only mainlander among the pirates at that time. After the pirates were eliminated by Ye Guoming and others that day, Xiao Zhi saw the opportunity to hide early. Later, everyone remembered that there was another such person and found him.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhi was a boneless person. Before they asked, he had said everything he knew in the original, and there was no leakage.
According to Xiao Zhi, he was originally from the villages around Song Chuncheng, Yundun, the mainland. He has been fishing for generations. The parents of a family of four and his two husbands take boats as their home. They eat and live on the boat and rarely go ashore. Once when their family of four went fishing, they suddenly met pirates, and all four A captled by pirates.
The pirates did not kill him, but only gave him two choices. One is to be an interpreter and guide for the pirates. After arriving at the mainland, he will lead the way and let him negotiate with others. His parents and wife can live a carefree and good life. Second, his wife serves the pirate leader, and he and his parents go to the dock. Low hard work.
Xiao Zhi chose to be a translator and guide.
According to Xiao Zhi, they did not hold a person like Long Fei, and other pirates should not, because pirates never take hostages, which will only bring burdens to them.
Xiao Zhi's words made Tongtou and Ye Guoming doubt their judgment. Is Long Fei still on land and has not been taken to sea? If so, then Long Fei is really more or less auspicious now.
However, Tongtou still believes in his intuition and judgment. Long Fei must have been kidnapped to the sea by pirates, and there are all kinds of signs that Meng Ting did sail to sea. Tongtou and Ye Guoming originally thought that Meng Ting might not be pirates, but now they are just affirming their previous ideas, so both of them are one. I think they still have to catch up with it.
But no matter what the result is, it is difficult for them to do it now.
Before the pirates were eliminated, they had chiseled the ship and not even left a piece of board for them, while the Wave was hit by the reef at the bottom of the ship. Without tools and materials, people could only look at the Wave and sigh for a long time. They would never sail a grass-repaired ship to pursue Meng, such as As soon as the fruit ship entered the sea, it was smashed by the waves, so they didn't even call the earth.
Fortunately, when the pirates destroyed the ship, the food they moved to the ship had not yet fallen into the sea and were rescued a lot by the crowd. In addition, some of the food stored by the pirates in the house was enough for their more than 20 people to eat for nearly ten days. It was precisely because of this that they stored food and caught some fish to subsidize the people. It can still be lively after a few days.
I remember that when it was found that three pirate ships had been sunk by pirates, everyone looked listless. Even if some food was rescued, compared with more than 20 of them, there were still too many monks and too little porridge, which was only enough for a few days.
A few days later, on this isolated island far away from the mainland, there were no boats, no food, and fresh water was also extinct. Everyone had no choice but to wait to die slowly.
Although the pirates were killed by Song Chun's soldiers, they were also equivalent to dying with Song Chun's soldiers, and slowly waiting to die was a hundred times more cruel than being killed.
What's more, there are many wounded on Song Chun's side!
Thinking of this, all the people who sat or slept in the room were all with their heads down and looked listless. At that time, the fighting spirit and hatred of the pirates did not know where they fought. Even the wounded seemed to be sad and forgot the pain. They slept with **'s eyes and stared straight at the roof, and their eyes were no longer full of their previous fighting spirit. Yang's brilliance.
It seems that now it has reached the last day, Death has sounded the sound of the death knell, and life has reached the last moment, and there is no more sun tomorrow.
Everyone is not happy about the hard-won victory.
In fact, seeing their current situation, Ye Guoming and Tongtou are also secretly anxious. In order to cheer up the panicked people and not be so depressed, Ye Guoming suddenly shouted, "Brothers, don't be discouraged. I know we will definitely return to the mainland."
Everyone was refreshed and looked at Ye Guoming together.
After a few days together, they all know that Ye Guoming is heroic and cheerful, and they usually won't say anything if they are not sure, so they are waiting for Ye Guoming to explain.
Ye Guoming stopped talking and turned to the copper head and smiled, "The copper head must also know the reason."
I've been hungry for a day. Although after a hard battle, the copper head is still full of energy and does not show any fatigue. Hearing Ye Guoming's question, he said without hesitation: "What's the hard to guess? Look at this island. It has built a house, built a dock in such a hidden place, and stored so much wealth. For pirates, this island must be very important. This is definitely a transit point for pirates.
The soldiers' eyes gradually improved and no longer looked dead.
Ye Guoming continued to shout, "Yes, that's right. Since the pirates use this place as a transit station, there will definitely be a lot of supplies. I guess there must be no shortage of fresh water on the island. They will not travel thousands of miles to bring fresh water here. As for food, there may be no beasts in the mountains. You are all born by the sea, and you are afraid of the sea. Is there no fish?"
The soldiers suddenly realized that their eyes had regained their previous brilliance, but their fatigue had not yet gone.
Copper Head continued loudly: "Since it is a transit station, it must be not only this group of pirates who are using it. In my opinion, another group of pirates may also be on the way to this island. As long as we recover from our injuries, are well prepared and wait for work, we can definitely eliminate all these pirates. At the best, we can also In order to rob them of a ship, it is not up to us whether to go back or continue to chase them.
At this point, everyone is no longer discouraged, and their faces are glowing again.
It turns out that when God gives you disasters, it is often sent with happiness.
It's just that some people lost their happiness when they received the disaster. Fortunately, Ye Guoming and the copper head picked it up.
Ye Guoming pointed to Xiao Zhi, who was huddled in the corner. When he first looked for him that day, he was almost killed by the angry Song Chun soldiers. If it hadn't been for Ye Guoming and Tongtou to stop the crowd, I guess he would have followed his master to the house of the Sea God as a guest - he shouted, "Actually, we can all confirm these problems from him, and this and It's not my own speculation."
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhi in the corner of the wall, and his eyes were still full of hatred and contempt. A mainlander was willing to be a walking dog for pirates to poison his compatriots because he was afraid of death. In the eyes of Song Chun, soldiers who often fought with pirates, he was no different from beasts.
When Xiao Zhi saw the soldier's eyes, he trembled all over and remembered the horror of that day. Now his body still hurts unbearable. Generally, he will not go without Ye Guoming and copper head.
At present, only these two people can protect him from doing nothing for the time being.
Seeing Ye Guoming questioning himself, he was afraid and hurriedly stood up from the ground, nodded to everyone, expressing his approval, and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Zhang Heng stared at Xiao Zhi's eight eyebrows and goatee. He almost couldn't help reaching out to pull it out and said fiercely, "Yes, what is it? Hurry up and say what you know, or the uncle will let you meet your sea god.
"Yes...yes..." Xiao Zhi saw Zhang Heng and the soldiers' eyes that seemed to speot fire, and subconsciously walked two steps to Ye Guoming before he said humbly and nervously, "Little... This is what the little man knows. As Lord Ye and Lord Tong said, this island is indeed their transit station, but it's just a small talent. It's only been a few months since I joined them. This is the second time I've been on the island, so I don't know what's going on the island.
Zhang Heng despised and said, "The running dog is always a running dog. How can he know about the owner? It's useless to ask." Having said that, he still believed that the island was a transit point for pirates.
With a wave of his big hand, Xiao Zhi returned to the corner of the wall and shouted to the soldiers, "Everyone believes it. If you believe it, you must cheer up, find food and fresh water, and recover from your injury. When the next batch of pirates come back, you will do his grandmother."
The soldiers responded, but some seriously injured soldiers shouted until they were involved in the wound and finally turned into a mosquito-like sound.
At this time, everyone also understands the reason why pirates desperately want to destroy the ship. This island is indeed remote. In addition to the rare arrival of pirates, they leave Song Chun's people on this island. If they are trapped, they will starve them to death. If neither of them is good, they can also wait until other pirates arrive for themselves. Revenge.
