Rise From the Humble

Zhu Ping'an's eyes were shining when he looked over, just like a hungry wolf seeing food.

"What are you going to do?" Li Shu was startled by Zhu Pingan's eyes. She thought Zhu Pingan was going to do something, so she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Look ahead." Zhu Pingan pointed to the sea, excited.

It turns out to be looking ahead! What can be seen ahead? What else could be more beautiful than me?

Li Shu pouted her mouth and cursed silently, then turned around in the direction of Zhu Pingan's finger and looked towards the sea from near to far. It feels ordinary. The vast sea is infinitely blue, like a blue prairie. It is no different from usual, nothing special.

"There's nothing in front of you, liar." Li Shu pouted at Lao Gao.

"Did I lie to you? Have you seen those black spots on the sea?" Upon seeing this, Zhu Ping'an walked behind Li Shu, stretched out his hands to hold Li Shu's face, and turned to the place where the black spots existed on the sea.

"Ah... who told you to touch me..." Li Shu muttered, but her body made no objection and allowed Zhu Pingan to hold her face.

"Did you see it?" Zhu Pingan asked.

"I saw a wolf with a big tail!" Li Shu rolled her eyes, pouted her small mouth in sarcasm, her pretty face was flushed.

"Can't you see those black spots in the sea?" Zhu Pingan held Li Shu's face and corrected the direction again.

Black spots? Is there any black spot?

Li Shu cursed, and then followed Zhu Pingan's guidance and looked over. At first, she could only see the endless sea, but if she looked carefully, she could see several orderly rows floating on the sea. A black spot.

What the black dots in the sea represent, Li Shu knows without Zhu Pingan saying. There is no other possibility for this orderly arrangement of black spots except for ships. No matter whose ship it is, no matter what kind of ship it is, whether it comes here specifically or whether it is passing by by chance, as long as it is a ship, it represents the hope of leaving this isolated island.

However, seeing the ship, Li Shu felt a sense of loss in her heart.

leave?

Very reluctant to give up.

It’s great here. You can spend time with him day and night every day. You can say hello in the morning and good night at night. You can pick up crabs and lobsters at the beach together. You can catch fish and birds together and take out eggs. You can chat in the sun and watch him. Practice calligraphy, listen to his endorsement, listen to his stories, bicker with him, prepare delicious food for him, and decorate the cave we live in beautifully.

Boat, boat, go away, don’t come here, or you can come a few days later Li Shu looked at the black spots in the distance, praying in her heart

"Did you see it this time?" Zhu Pingan let go of his hand holding Li Shu's face and asked again.

"I see, I see, the boat, there is a boat coming." Li Shu made a look full of joy and joy, but it was definitely not the case in her heart.

Standing on the island, Zhu Ping'an and the others can see the black-spotted boat, but standing on the boat may not be able to see Zhu Ping'an and the others on the island. After all, the island is quite large, even if the people on the boat have good eyesight , I can't see Zhu Ping'an and the others on this island.

At this time, the beacon tower was very important. Zhu Pingan was about to add some wet firewood to the beacon tower to make the beacon tower smoke more, but suddenly he heard Li Shu's question.

"Zhu Ping'an, what are you hiding in your pocket, it's so hard, it hit me." Li Shu felt that something was pushing her back, and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Zhu Pingan was a little confused, so he didn't have anything in his pocket.

"How come, it's all up to me." Li Shu raised her voice, dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an's answer.

It’s still up to you, how is that possible? Zhu Pingan expressed his innocence. He obviously didn't bring anything, so he lowered his head to look at the situation speechlessly.

Li Shu also turned around at this moment.

"shameless!"

Li Shutao blushed, cursed out of embarrassment, gave Zhu Pingan a hard look, then lifted her foot vigorously, stepped on Zhu Pingan's foot hard, and crushed it hard as if in revenge.

Ouch

This girl's foot was really heavy, Zhu Pingan was caught off guard, and screamed out loudly after being stepped on.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, uncle?"

Zhu Ping'an screamed in pain, startled the little girl who was tidying up the buns in the cave, and ran out briskly, asking what was wrong.

"Boat, there is a boat coming from the sea." Zhu Pingan naturally wouldn't say that he was trampled on by Li Shu in revenge just now, but bent over enduring the pain, pointing to the sea to explain to the little maidservant Baozi as if constipated.

Boat?

The little maid of Baozi was stunned for a moment, and then uttered a voice that was many times louder than Zhu Ping'an's, and then hugged Li Shu happily, jumping and jumping happily, tears of excitement were about to come out.

Zhu Pingan took advantage of Baozi’s little girl and Li Shu’s celebration, found a lot of damp firewood and put it in the beacon tower, put a lot of it, and added a lot of damp leaves and vines to it, turning the huge beacon tower Stuffed to the brim.

The sky is also beautiful, there is no wind on the island at this moment, and the black smoke column is rolling straight to the ninth heaven.

Looking at the beacon tower with black smoke billowing like a monster, Zhu Pingan nodded in satisfaction. I believe that such a thick column of smoke can be seen from the sea outside.

"Brother Dachuan, go to the cabin and rest for a while. With us, you haven't closed your eyes for two days."

On the deck of the ship that had been drifting on the vast sea for two days and two nights, there was a dark-skinned and sturdy young man standing at the front of the deck, holding on to the railing and looking into the distance. His face looked very tired, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Beside him were several fellow countrymen of the same age, who persuaded him with worry.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. I usually go up the mountain with my father and see far away." The sturdy young man with dark complexion shook his head, his lips were a little chapped when he spoke.

The person next to him quickly handed over a sheepskin water bag. The sturdy young man was not polite. He thanked him and took it and drank a few sips. He returned the water bag to the man and cast his gaze into the distance before looking at it. His eyes suddenly widened, as if he was possessed. He pushed away the people next to him, ran to the mast in a few steps, climbed up quickly like a monkey, grabbed the mast and looked at an island in the distance. .

"There is smoke. There is smoke on that island. It must be Brother He and the others." The sturdy young man on the mast looked into the distance and shouted excitedly.

Soon, there was a burst of people coming and going on the deck, and people were shouting. Then the sails were raised, the oars were flying, and the ship headed towards the island. It didn’t take long for the ship to reach the edge of the island. Regardless of the damage to the hull caused by the reef, it took the lead. The ship just rushed past without any care.
