Strongest Worker - Chapter 1557

Most things in the world fail to meet people’s wishes.

You want things to be like this, but often it will become like that.

Anyway, it’s worse than you think.

On the evening of the third day at sea, the sky suddenly became gloomy. Li Qing had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at the dark cirrus clouds in the sky and knew that this was the rhythm of the coming storm.

He put away the sails and asked Lin Mengdie and Xinya to put on their life jackets. He tied himself to the boat with a rope and stood ready.

After more than half an hour, the sky began to rain and the wind became stronger and stronger. The boat, like a willow leaf, was tottering.

Li Qing carefully piloted the small cargo ship and sailed in a half circle close to the navigable path of the typhoon.

How to describe this night? In his own words, he found the feeling of leaving home and going to sea at the age of 17, as if he were on the line of life and death at any time.

It was not easy to get through the most difficult moment. The typhoon gradually decreased in the second half of the night. The three exhausted people were relieved and felt unspeakable fatigue.

Li Qing suddenly realized that because he had only seen the calm sea before, he inadvertently ignored the ferocity of the sea.

Which is the true face of the sea? He didn’t know it at all, and he didn’t have the heart to think about such a profound problem.

He’s really tired. He wants to sleep.

Now, Li Qing, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, wandered a little. He knew that the dull sound of “boom” woke him up from his drowsy state.

The whole ship swayed in the weak storm, as if it would topple at any time.

Lin Mengdie asked loudly, “what’s the matter!”

Li Qing’s face was very ugly: “it seems… Hit the reef…”

“Ah? What?”

Li Qing shouted again, “it seems to have hit a reef!”

“What!” Lin Mengdie immediately panicked, “what should we do?”

Before Li Qing could answer, Xinya dragged a rope and hurried out of the cabin. She braved the storm and her little face was as white as paper: “what to do! The cabin was flooded!”

“How much water have you got?” Li Qing asked loudly, “can you plug it?”

“I can’t stop it. There’s a big hole in the water! I won’t reach my feet in a while!”

Lin Mengdie turned and left, “I’ll go down and have a look.”

“No.” Li Qing hurriedly called her, “Xinya was right. The ship sank quickly and we couldn’t block it.”

Xinya looked terrified: “what should we do? Are we going to die here?”

“Tie the lifebuoys together and throw them down.” Li Qing said in a deep voice, “the ship can’t be taken.”

Lin Mengdie reached out and patted Xinya, who was still in a daze. Her voice was hurried: “hurry up and do it. What are you doing?”

“I see.”

They quickly started, tied the life buoy with a rope and threw it into the sea.

At this time, the sea water was about to reach the deck. The three people hurriedly prepared some food and drinking water, cut off the rope tied to their waist and jumped on the lifebuoy.

The storm finally stopped.

Li Qing lay on the lifebuoy, looked at the luminous watch on her wrist, and sighed softly: “it’s three o’clock.”

After the storm, the sea was as calm as a mirror, not even a ripple.

Lin Mengdie seemed unwilling to be so lonely. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the sea and looked at the ripples.

She looked up and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky: “it’s so quiet.”

Xinya lies on her lap, looks forward to Li Qing, and asks pitifully, “will we die here?”

Li Qing looked at her for a while, suddenly smiled and smiled gently: “are you afraid if we die on the sea?”

Xinya thought for a moment and shook her head: “I’m not afraid, but…”

“But what?”

“But let me die in front of you.” Xinya said with a small mouth. “I’m not afraid only when you’re around.”

Lin Mengdie touched the girl’s little head and said to Li Qing, who was stunned: “similarly, if you want to die, kill me first. I am already your man. If you die, I don’t need to live.”

Li Qing recovered, shook his head and smiled bitterly: “we shouldn’t say such depressed words.”

“People who are used to life and death will care about these words.” Lin Mengdie said faintly, “Li Qing, you brought me back, and you saved Xinya. You should know that our lives are tied to you.”

“Don’t worry, none of us will die. At dawn, I’ll dive into the water, find the sunken ship and see what’s available.” Li Qing sat up from the lifebuoy tied together and lifted up his legs immersed in the sea. “It’s estimated that there will be some wandering. Where will he drift…”

Lin Mengdie smiled: “this is the life you want.”

“No, I just want a carefree day. Now this situation…” Li Qing smiled helplessly. “It’s too embarrassing.”

Even though the three people were tired, they couldn’t sleep in this environment, and talked until the light came up in the sky.

Li Qing looked around, suddenly stunned, and a look of ecstasy appeared at the bottom of his eyes.

He raised his hand and pointed forward, “you see, over there… Shouldn’t it be land?”

Lin Mengdie and Xinya suddenly came to spirit, but the two women stretched their small heads and looked at them for a while. They only shook their heads: “I can’t see it.”

“Your eyesight is worse.” Li Qing looked up at the sky. “When it gets brighter, you can see it. I’m 90% sure it’s definitely a piece of land.”

“There is no way for people.” Lin Mengdie whispered, and immediately frowned. “But where have we drifted?”

Li Qingshu sighed: “although the storm last night was fierce, we can’t deviate far from the fixed route. The land in front should be a desert island on the sea.”

“In other words, even if you find land, you still can’t go back?”

Li Qing rolled his eyes: “the ships have sunk. I don’t expect anyone on the island. I’m sure I can’t go back. But fortunately, there is a piece of land that can ensure our survival. It’s better than floating on the sea.”

“That’s right.” Lin Mengdie nodded her snow-white chin, as if she didn’t feel sad at all.

Of course, Li Qing knew what the woman was thinking, but she didn’t break it. Perhaps for Lin Mengdie, hiding in the ocean is the best destination. In this way, she will no longer have to face all kinds of pressures in the world.

“Just the three of us?” Xinya puffed her pink cheeks and suddenly giggled, “it’s also very good. We can have a lot of children and become lively in the future.”

Lin Mengdie patted her little head and muttered angrily: “silly girl, what’s going on in her mind…”

Li Qing looked at the calm sea and thought deeply.

It was getting brighter and brighter, and the three people were finally able to determine that there was indeed an island one kilometer away from them, with many trees growing luxuriantly.

Li Qing is very happy. It’s good to have many trees. Nine times out of ten, the island can find enough fresh water, and there should be birds and animals that can be used to satisfy hunger.

“I don’t know how long we’ll live on the island. It’ll be a lifetime if we don’t make it right,” he whispered, leaving a lifebuoy, tying it to the mast of the sunken ship with a rope and marking it so that he can come back to pick up things. At the same time, he cut off the sail and took it away.

After finishing these things, they set off to swim towards the island ahead.

Li Qing and Lin Mengdie are better at water than ordinary people, but Xinya’s body is weak, coupled with one night’s fatigue, and they have rested several times.

But anyway, they finally stepped on the pure and soft beach like snow.

The beach is warm and comfortable by the morning sun, like a simmons bed.

Li Qing untied the lifebuoy tied to his body, lay on his back and slowly closed his eyes. He grabbed Lin Mengdie with one hand and Xinya with the other. No one said more nonsense, so he fell asleep.

At noon, Li Qing was awakened by the blazing sun.

He sat up, shook his head, and then went to the beach to wash his face.

Looking at the clear water and the small fish swimming under it, he suddenly lowered his head and sighed heavily.

Suddenly he heard a sound on the shore. Li Qing turned her head and saw that Lin Mengdie also woke up.

“The sun is too strong,” she said softly, stepping into the water with bare jade feet and staring down at the back of Li Qing’s head, “you really want to go back, don’t you?”

“Mengdie, there are too many people in Lingang who can’t give up.”

“I really envy you.” Lin Mengdie’s eyes are as gentle as water, but there is a trace of resentment. “I don’t have anyone to worry about except you now.”

Li Qing felt the atmosphere was dignified. She simply wiped her face with seawater and alleviated her embarrassment with the sound of water.

“It’s no use saying anything now. First find a way to survive here.” he stood up and said in a half joking voice, “fortunately, I’ve read Robinson Crusoe, and now I can finally come in handy.”

“You are much luckier than him. You have two women with you. He tossed about for years before waiting for a savage.”

“Hahaha, indeed, I’m much luckier.” Li Qing nodded repeatedly and suddenly hugged Lin Mengdie and caressed her body.

Lin Mengdie felt that his restless hand swam on her body and couldn’t help tightening her body: “stop it, Xinya will see…”

“The little girl slept foolishly. What can she see…” Li Qing looked sideways and found that Xinya didn’t know when she had woken up. She just stared at them.

“Cough, cough.” he quickly released his hand and covered up his embarrassment with a light cough. “Xinya, how did you wake up?”

“The sun is too strong, and the people exposed to the sun are dry.” Xinya toots her small mouth, looks at Lin Mengdie, blushes and turns her head.

“Well, I’ll think of a way. We still have a sail to shade from the sun and cut some trees to support it.” Li Qing said, turning into the woods on the island. This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
