With the naked eye, everywhere was the boundless sea.
But these stones couldn't possibly have fallen from the sky without reason.
The sailors usually have heard of the terrifying tale of the Ghost Ship, and when sailing alone at sea, encountering sothing strange is always sowhat eerie.
But so things must have an explanation, right? These stones couldn't just randomly strike the ship out of nowhere.
If it's not a prank by soone on the ship, then where did these stones co from?
Picking up the stone, the Captain noticed it was very dry; surrounded by the sea, how could there be dry stones? Looking again at the dented deck, how much force would it take to cause this?
'Whoosh.'
'Splash.'
The stone flew over again, but this ti it didn't hit the ship, instead splashing into the sea about ten ters away.
'Whoosh'
'Splash...'
'Whoosh.'
'Splash.'
The second and third stones landed on the sea surface, and the distance was getting farther. Even though the distance was increasing, these stones lined up in a straight line with the ship.
"Binoculars..." The Captain seed to have thought of sothing and imdiately called a sailor to bring over the binoculars.
anwhile, on the island, after Xiaofan threw several stones with force, he also stopped.
"Leng Yue."
"Ah, stone..."
"No, hurry up and find sothing to cover yourself."
"Huh?"
"If they look over here with binoculars and see you exposed, then I'll be at a loss."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Leng Yue hurriedly rushed to the cave below.
The distance was too far, Xiaofan didn't know if they had discovered him. Holding the remaining stones, he continued to throw them over.
People?
There were people over there?
Through the binoculars, the Captain indeed saw a person's shadow, and he was forcefully throwing sothing this way.
Could it be that the stones were thrown by him?
How is it possible, at such a far distance, how could a human throw that far?
Finally, he stopped and waved his arms vigorously toward them...
Seeing his almost bare attire and long, ssy hair, the Captain imdiately guessed that he was a human stranded on the island.
"Quick, stop the ship, change direction imdiately."
"What happened, Captain?"
"Over there... soone is signaling for help."
"What?"
Despite how unbelievable it was, what they saw was reality.
After several sailors took the binoculars to look, they confird it was not a ghost in the sea, but indeed a real person. The rising smoke was proof enough.
"Hey, Captain, why did you suddenly stop the ship and change course?" Just as the Captain was about to sail over to investigate, a sharply dressed man suddenly ca from the cabin and questioned.
"Mr. Dalke, we discovered soone over there signaling for help, so we plan to go rescue them." The Captain imdiately explained.
"Human? Wait..." The man in a suit also took the binoculars to look over, indeed seeing a wisp of smoke and the ragged man standing upright.
"Wait, this sea area hasn't been traversed for a long ti. If pirates have deliberately sent a decoy to lure us over, that would be disastrous." Dalke said worriedly.
"But what if it's real?" The Captain asked sowhat unnaturally.
This ship, although he was the Captain, the money for this voyage was paid by the boss behind the scenes; logically, everything should be decided by the financier.
Originally, this cargo ship didn't need to take such a big detour on this route, it was all because of Dalke's idea.
However, having spent most of his life sailing, the Captain couldn't ignore soone signaling for help, but he couldn't go against the boss's wishes either. All these sailors still had to wait for the pay after the ship docked to feed their families.
"What's going on?"
At this mont, another man ca out of the cabin, accompanied by a woman. They both appeared to be in their early fifties. What was most notable was that the first words he spoke after exiting the cabin were in 'Chinese.'
"Mr. Li..." The Captain was also Chinese, but he was Taiwanese. Seeing Li Yunchang co out, he imdiately approached: "Mr. Li, we discovered soone signaling for help on a deserted island, so we plan to change direction to rescue that person."
"Hmm? Where?" Li Yunchang looked around curiously but didn't see any sign of a deserted island.
"Here, in that direction." The Captain quickly took the binoculars and handed them to Li Yunchang.
"Hmm? Go, go rescue him." Without a second thought, Li Yunchang decided to rescue the person.
"Mr. Li, but... this might delay the itinerary."
"No problem, I'm not in a hurry. I haven't been on a ship to sea for a long ti. My wife and I t on a ship in the past. Now at this age, revisiting the experience, if we found soone in trouble and didn't help, it would leave quite a regret on this trip."
In contrast, Li Yunchang was considered the big boss of this ship. Usually, a large cargo ship going to sea requires soone who can afford such high costs. In addition, if it's a long voyage, normal companies can't bear the huge transport fees, so several bosses would collectively cover the expenses.
The current Li Yunchang was the one who paid the most. He said to go rescue, so naturally, no one would oppose.
The ship finally sailed toward Xiaofan's direction. Seeing the increasingly larger black dot, Xiaofan's hanging heart was finally relieved.
He still managed to wait. As long as he could successfully board that ship, land was not far away. Once on land, returning ho wasn't far either.
Thinking of the beloved face at ho that he missed dearly, Xiaofan's emotions slowly grew excited. Heaven had eyes.
"Leng Yue... they're coming."
With a smile, Xiaofan happily glanced at Leng Yue below.
However, Leng Yue slightly raised her head, glanced at Xiaofan. Her mouth revealed just a faint smile.
Yes, it's ti to prepare to return, which ans that in the future, he would no longer belong to just her.
Seeing Leng Yue's expression, Xiaofan suddenly felt sothing, leapt down and held Leng Yue gently in his arms: "Silly Ni..."
Indeed, she was truly silly, it was such a happy occasion, Captain, as long as you're happy, as long as you're happy, Leng Yue is willing to do anything for you.
