They rowed desperately, very desperate. They didn’t dare to pause for a moment, for fear that when the storm came, they will be in its range. They would be blown back to that desert island again by then.
Bai Zhi was the first to get tired and paralyzed. She was not as strong as the other two. She used up all her strength. She was able to row until now due to her tenacity.
Even Shane Shaw was very surprised, Bai Zhi’s performance was much better than he imagined.
This little girl has the courage and boldness of a man. the carefulness of a woman, the wisdom of a wise man, and the arrogance of a brave man.
What a special little fellow.
“I think we are far away from the eye of the storm.” Shane Shaw also stopped and stood up from the middle of the boat, then pointed his finger to the dark fog in the distance.
Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing turned back one after another and saw the sky in the distance. There was a black cloud mixed with lightning, like a devil’s eye in the sky.
It seems that they were really out of danger.
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. if they won’t be pushed back by the storm, it would be good, but if they were caught in the eye of the storm, they would only have a dead end.
She didn’t want to die, she managed to live, she couldn’t just die like that.
“How far are we from your country?” Bai Zhi asked.
Shane Shaw shook his head: “This is hard to say. The position on the sea is the most difficult to determine. I have never been here before, so I can only go by feeling.”
Bai Zhi didn’t say much. At this time, the most important thing that can’t be given to him was pressure. Perhaps, the feeling of a man will be more spiritual than that of a woman.
They rowed for a day and a night. The water and food on the boat became less and less, but in front of them, there was still a boundless sea.
Xiao Qing and Bai Zhi have been burned by the sunshine on the sea. Their flawless and fair skin in the past no longer exists.
Shane Shaw was much better than them, his skin color was a little reddish, not as exaggerated as theirs.
“Your faces – are you okay?” Shane Shaw was very worried, afraid that the two delicate girls couldn’t stand it.
Bai Zhi touched her face, which was almost burned by the sun, and smiled bitterly: “It’s okay, it’s nothing to be disfigured, as long as you can live.” Of course, disfigurement was impossible. She was a famous doctor.
Xiao Qing doesn’t care about these things. She practiced martial arts. She practiced and learned martial arts under willpower. She didn’t pay much attention to appearance. Besides, Bai Zhi didn’t even care about it, so what else, does a maid like her have to worry about?
Shane Shaw looked guilty: “It’s all my fault, I couldn’t find a way back, so you all suffer with me.”
Bai Zhi waved her hand: “You can’t say that. It’s our own decision to go back with you. Whether we can find it or not depends on the will of God. Even if we die, it has nothing to do with you.”
Shane Shaw shook his head: “No, I won’t let you die, never.” He stood up and looked at the sea in the night sky. Today’s moonlight, even at night, the sea was dark and dull, except for the rippling waves in the distance. From afar, he seemed to see a little bit of starlight.
Starlight? No, how could there be starlight in the middle of nowhere? That’s not starlight.
He urged Xiao Qing and Bai Zhi to row the boat together in the direction of the little starlight. The closer they rowed, the clearer they could see it.
Where was the starlight? It was an island, and that light was the fire light on the island.
Yes, it was a bonfire.
At this time, the Western Region doesn’t have civilization yet. What they used for lighting was not the oil lamps in the Central Plains, but the simple and crude brazier.
