Volume 1: The Return of the Ancestor Chapter 4: Rafting, Returning at Midnight
In the cave, Wu Yue tied Su Yan with rattan and straw ropes, leaving four "straps" made of rattan and straw on Su Yan's back.
In addition, she also knitted a wide-brimmed straw hat and a thatched raincoat for Su Yan.
The straw hat was put on Su Yan's head and the raincoat was draped in front of him.
"Master, did I carry you on my back?"
"Um."
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Yue and Su Yan squatted back to back, and evenly carried the four "straps" on both shoulders as if carrying a schoolbag. Then, she grabbed the straps with both hands, circulated her true Qi, and slowly stood up while biting her teeth.
Although Su Yan told Wu Yue that his body weighed two hundred and fifty-eight kilograms due to body training, Wu Yue had never carried such a heavy thing before, so she didn't know how heavy it was.
When she really carried Su Yan on her back, she found that he was much heavier than she had imagined.
At the same time, she also understood why Su Yan insisted that she practice the Tao to the fourth level before leaving the deserted island. Because unless she reached the fourth level and made her true Qi circulate in the twelve meridians in a small circle, she would not be able to carry Su Yan's body and walk.
"Let the Qi flow through the meridians of the legs, waist , and shoulders to lighten your burden."
Su Yan’s telepathic voice appeared in Wu Yue’s mind.
Wu Yue did as he was told and indeed felt a little more relaxed. He immediately walked out of the cave.
After leaving the cave, Wu Yue carried Su Yan to a small pool she had dug.
"Master, can I wash your face?"
"Okay."
Wu Yue was a little happy to hear Su Yan agree.
She squatted down and placed Su Yan on a large rock that she had prepared, then untied the straps.
Then he used a small piece of cloth torn from his linen clothes to rinse and wring it dry in the sink, then turned around, took off Su Yan's straw hat, and wiped Su Yan's face.
Her movements were not slow, but very gentle and careful.
As she wiped, a smile appeared on her pretty face, which was very bright in the sunlight.
Su Yan felt a little strange and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah?" Wu Yue was a little panicked, then hesitated for a moment, and said: "In fact, I wanted to wipe Master's face before, but I didn't dare to say it... Today I got what I wanted, and I am very happy."
"You have obsessive compulsive disorder."
"OCD?"
Su Yan explained: "Whenever I see something dirty, I have to clean it up, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
"It seems that my disciple is really like this." Wu Yue smiled, gathered Su Yan's long hair, and tied a bow with a straw rope at the position corresponding to his neck.
Su Yan "looked" and his eyes twitched slightly - if his eyes could move.
Although he was not happy with the bow, he didn't say anything considering that it was Wu Yue's good intention.
Wu Yue washed the cloth again, wiped his face and neck again, and then put the straw hat on him.
Then Wu Yue carried Su Yan on her back again and went to the beach.
After placing Su Yan in the front middle position of the raft and securing him, Wu Yue returned to the shore and untied the vine rope.
Then she pushed the raft from the shallow water to the deep water.
Crash~
The not-so-big waves came one after another, gradually reaching Wu Yue's waist. She then climbed onto the raft and began to paddle with two simple wooden oars.
There was no food prepared on the raft, only a small wooden bucket of water made from a tree trunk.
The system produced fasting pills. If Wu Yue took one, it would ensure that she would not feel hungry for seven days. Therefore, excluding the one she took today, there were still four pills left, which was enough for her not to worry about food.
As for how to determine the sailing direction, Su Yan had already taught them, and Wu Yue himself also knew a little about the relevant knowledge.
Moreover, it took her only half a day from jumping into the sea to drifting to the island, so she was not afraid of getting lost at sea.
But she had been drifting along the waves before, but now she was paddling with two simple wooden oars, which slowed her down a lot. So, the raft didn’t reach the shore until dark…
Dongshan County.
Gou County, Jiaoxi fishing village.
It was just past midnight and the night was getting dark.
Qin Baoyu was dreaming. In the dream, he was playing with Sister Wu Yue on the beach...but his father said that Sister Wu Yue was eaten by a shark when she went into the sea to collect pearls?
Crunch.
The sound of a broken wooden door opening was heard suddenly, Wu Yue's figure dissipated like bubbles, and Qin Baoyu opened his eyes suddenly.
"I dreamed about Sister Wu Yue again." Qin Baoyu smiled bitterly.
After Wu Yue's death, his father helped to arrange a very simple funeral, then let him live in Wu Yue's house and secretly told him that as long as he lived there for a few months, the house would be his.
Qin Baoyu felt that doing this was very unfair to Wu Yue, but Wu Yue was already dead and had no relatives, so the house was empty anyway.
Moreover, living here he would occasionally miss Xia Wu Yue.
Boom, boom, boom…
The heavy footsteps brought Qin Baoyu back to his senses. He subconsciously felt something was wrong, so he became afraid and asked in a trembling voice, "Who's outside? Dad?"
No one answered, but the heavy footsteps continued to approach.
Then the door of the main room was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Qin Baoyu was very scared, but as a teenager, he was also more curious.
Considering that the only way out was through the main hall, he plucked up his courage, picked up the harpoon beside the bed in one hand, held a lit fire lighter in the other, and walked out of the room trembling.
When he walked to the door and looked into the main room, he saw, in the dim light of the tinder, a strange figure with a sturdy upper body and a slender lower body.
When he saw the figure tilting his head to look at him, revealing a familiar face, Qin Baoyu was so frightened that his soul flew away and he shouted, "Ghost!"
He dropped the harpoon and fire starter in his hands and rushed out of the room.
He ran to his home which was dozens of steps away and knocked on the door.
"Dad, Mom, open the door quickly, Sister Wu Yue's ghost is back!" Qin Baoyu cried out - he was scared to tears.
Qin Sanshun was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms. He was very unhappy when he was woken up.
Originally, he wanted to ask his wife to open the door, but when he heard his son mention "Wu Yue" in his voice, he was suddenly startled and woke up completely.
He went to open the gate, and Qin Baoyu rushed in immediately, grabbed one of his arms, and said tremblingly with tears: "Dad, Sister Wu Yue's spirit is back... She must be blaming me for occupying her house, and she came to teach me a lesson, what should I do, Dad?"
Hearing this, Qin Sanshun frowned.
It's not that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he doesn't believe that Wu Yue can come back to life - thinking about what happened that day, he felt that it was more likely to be another situation.
Wu Yue is not dead!
He immediately grabbed his son's shoulders and asked, "Did you see clearly? It's really Wu Yue?"
"Really, woo woo."
"Samsoon, what happened?" His wife's voice came from the room.
"It's okay." Qin Sanshun responded casually. After his face turned gloomy, he said to his son, "You go back to the room, and don't come out with your mother. I'll go to Wu Yue's house to check."
"Yeah." Qin Baoyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then quickly ran back into the house.
Qin Sanshun picked up a harpoon by the gate, swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and walked out.
When he arrived at Wu Yue's house, he found that the front door was open, the door to the main room was also open, and the lights were on in the room.
He did not go in and was a little hesitant.
After all, he was an ordinary fisherman who had only killed fish, chickens and ducks in his life.
But when he thought of the consequences if Wu Yue was really alive and revealed that matter, a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He gripped the harpoon tightly and strode in.
When he arrived at the door of the main room, he found Wu Yue standing in the middle of the room with her hands behind her back, looking at him with her big black eyes.
If someone thought Wu Yue was dead, they would probably think it was a ghost when they first saw this scene.
But Qin Sanshun was not sure that Wu Yue was dead that day, and he also noticed that Wu Yue's shadow was long under the light.
'She's not a ghost.'
Thinking of this, Qin Sanshun felt inexplicably calm.
Then he showed a look of sorrow and regret, walked into the main room, and said, "Wu Yue, you are still alive? That's great. Alas, it's all Uncle Qin's fault for being so foolish that day that he put his hands on you..."
As he spoke, Qin Sanshun had already taken three steps towards Wu Yue. Suddenly his face turned ferocious, and he raised the harpoon and stabbed it towards Wu Yue's neck!
At this moment, a sword light suddenly shot out from behind Wu Yue, arriving first!
