[Yi Tian] Ding Minjun

"Are you really going?" Chen Yan asked in a deep voice.

Seeing him coming out, Ding Minjun felt ashamed in her heart, her eyelashes trembled and her chest heaved rapidly. After a long silence, she said, "Mr. Go on, these words are really empty.Even if she was lucky enough to find the way back to the Central Plains, even if she made up her mind to repay her kindness, she could only say this at this time.What's more, the possibility of not finding the way is greater after all.

Chen Yan's face became more and more gloomy. After a while, he handed over a Xixi, and Ding Minjun subconsciously took it, which turned out to be a compass.

Only Chen Yan said to her: "Go west from the south for three days and nights, and then go south for two days and nights. If you can see three connected islands, it proves that you are right. You can do a little work on that island. Rest and replenish fresh water, and then head westward, and return to the Central Plains in about three to five days and nights." When he spoke, his tone was extremely cold.

Ding Minjun was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment he knew that the other party had lied to her before, so he subconsciously said, "Mister, don't you know the way of the sea?"

Chen Yan replied stiffly: "I lied to you." He didn't feel guilty at all when he spoke, and he closed the door after he finished speaking, ignoring Ding Minjun.

Ding Minjun was shut out by him, and was stunned for a while.

She stood quietly outside the door for a while, then suddenly knelt down and bowed three times towards the bamboo house, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, after Mr. Min has passed the news back to the sect, he will come back to repay Mr.'s great kindness." She There was a trace of firmness in his eyes, and the fingers holding the compass were very hard, and even the nails were slightly white.

She stood for a while, seeing no response from the people in the room, so she had to prepare to leave.But just as she turned around, the bamboo door creaked open again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you again?" Chen Yan's voice came from behind Ding Minjun.

Ding Minjun didn't turn around, she replied in a low voice: "It's so difficult to go back to Middle Earth from here. You don't have to lie to me, and my life is uncertain. Since you are willing to tell me the sea route, it must be the real way." She only heard someone follow Approached slowly behind.

After a while, Chen Yan was already standing behind Ding Minjun, but Ding Minjun still didn't look back.

Chen Yan's voice sounded behind her: "Since you know that your life is slim, why do you want to leave?"

"Sir, Min Jun...Min Jun really...has to go..." Ding Min Jun's voice was a little hoarse at this moment.

For some reason, she felt that her heart was really in a mess, as if something was tempting her, telling her not to leave.But she still can't let go of her master in her heart.In such a dilemma, she dared not even look at Chen Yan.

She was only afraid that she would stay here because she was greedy for a peaceful life, and she didn't want to face those disputes.

The two just stood there silently one after the other, Chen Yan didn't speak, Ding Minjun didn't take a step, even the air seemed to be stagnating slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yan stretched out his hand.Ding Minjun only felt that the other party's fingers touched her hand, and the slightly cool fingertips brought a strange touch. She didn't feel her hand loosen, and the fingers that had been holding the compass tightly also relaxed.Then the other party easily took the compass away from her hand.

Only hearing Chen Yan's voice became very indifferent: "Even if I tell you the sea route, you don't know how to go. I, Chen Yan, never suffer in doing things. I have to ask for something in return for saving you. If you let you die in vain Fish belly, but I am at a loss. I will send you a ride and show you kindness again, and you should think carefully about how to repay my kindness!" His voice was cold at the beginning, but he wrapped it up a little later. Unexplainable emotions.

After Chen Yan finished speaking this time, he went back to the bamboo house and closed the bamboo door firmly, making an ear-piercing sound.

Ding Minjun was completely stunned at this moment, and it took a while to realize: "Sir, are you... wanting to go back to the Central Plains with me?" She stood there in a daze, but the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and she didn't say anything to the other party. We care about bad attitude.

Since two people are leaving, the fresh water and dry food needed is far more than one person. Although Ding Minjun has prepared a lot of supplies for the long days of drifting at sea, it is not enough for two people after all.And even though Chen Yan said he wanted to leave, he didn't come out right away and followed Ding Minjun onto the boat.It was impossible for Ding Minjun to force him, so he quietly prepared supplies.

Over the past few days, Chen Yan kept a straight face and ignored Ding Minjun, which made Ding Minjun feel more and more wronged.

But when Ding Minjun had almost prepared the fresh water dry food used by the two of them, and was hesitating about how to propose to leave with Chen Yan, Chen Yan came out very cooperatively and got on the boat first.

At first Ding Minjun came up to the island from the west side of the island, where the westerly wind blows all the year round.The south side of the island is different, there is almost no wind.

Ding Minjun was worried, so he asked Chen Yan: "Sir, there is no wind here, the water waves are slow, and the boat travels very slowly. It can't travel much in three days and nights. Looking from the island, you can never see the adjacent islands..." She Looking at Chen Yan, waiting for his answer.

Chen Yan looked like he was too lazy to talk to her, and didn't say a word.

Ding Minjun lowered his voice and asked again, before Chen Yan spoke, his tone was still very cold: "I said that I have never traveled by sea, but I am not lying to you."

Ding Minjun was choked by his words, and after a while, he became anxious: "Sir, don't take any risks, if anything happens."

But Chen Yan closed his eyes this time and stopped talking.It seems that he still has made up his mind.

Ding Minjun had no choice but to push the boat into the sea, and turned over on the boat after a lift.

Naturally, things like boating would not be done by Chen Yan.In fact, what Chen Yan did may not be comparable to Ding Minjun, after all, Ding Minjun practiced martial arts since childhood, while Chen Yan is just a frail scholar.

Ding Minjun was apprehensive, but he couldn't help it, so he drove west along the direction indicated on the compass.At the beginning, she was traveling very slowly as she had imagined, but after nightfall, she didn't know which sea area she sailed into, and suddenly the water became more turbulent.The water wave moved towards the west, and the speed of the boat suddenly increased.When it was dawn, the wind gradually picked up, and the wind was from the southwest.

Ding Minjun was pleasantly surprised, raised the crude sails, and sailed all the way to the southwest.But after walking for a while, I heard Chen Yan's order: "Don't go southwest, go all the way west, and go for three days and nights first."

When Ding Minjun heard this, he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he carefully controlled the direction.

After doing this for three days and nights, at dawn on the fourth day, Ding Minjun lowered the sails and stopped the boat temporarily, and asked Chen Yan, "Sir, are you heading south next?"

Chen Yan thought for a while, and seemed a little hesitant, but he still told Ding Minjun: "Go south."

Ding Minjun didn't question it, so he sailed south.

The two walked for another two days and nights, but they didn't see the island that Chen Yan mentioned.

Ding Minjun's heart was full of misery, and he lost his position all of a sudden.

40 Back to Central Plains · Part [-]

How could Ding Minjun cope with such a situation.Although she had already thought about the situation of running out of ammunition and food when she first went to sea, it was another matter to actually face it.What's more, after Chen Yan told her about the sea route, her psychological expectations would also increase a lot.Looking at the vast sea now, I suddenly feel at a loss in my heart.

"Sir... now, what should we do now?" Ding Minjun subconsciously looked at Chen Yan, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that the other party would tell her something.

But she was very worried in her heart, and she always felt that Chen Yan could do nothing.If Chen Yan hadn't come out with her, then Hailu might be a fake.Now that Chen Yan is on the same boat as her, the sea route must be real.No one would take his own life as a joke.

Compared with Ding Minjun's flustered appearance, Chen Yan appeared much calmer.He had been leaning halfway in the cabin, with his eyes closed and rested, and Ding Minjun didn't respond to calling him.It wasn't until she yelled several times and her voice changed a little that Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes: "What are you panicking about? You dare to go back even if you don't know the way of the sea and only look for the way against the wind. You are afraid of this."

However, after Chen Yan finished speaking, he didn't continue. He stood up slowly, looking a little cautious, and then looked around while holding the mast. There was sea everywhere, and there was no land at all. arrive.

Ding Minjun choked on Chen Yan's words just now, but he didn't dare to disturb him when he saw Chen Yan standing there.Only the sails were retracted to stabilize the boat, so that the boat would not continue to drift.

Chen Yan looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked Ding Minjun: "Going all the way to the south?"

Ding Minjun nodded: "I'm looking at the compass, and it's been heading south. Even if it's slightly deflected, it won't be too much."

Chen Yan didn't answer Ding Minjun either, as if he was thinking about something.

Ding Minjun asked anxiously: "Sir, but we went astray."

Chen Yan shook his head: "Impossible. Although you are holding the compass these few days, the sun rises and sets during the day, and the North Star points out in the sky at night. Our direction cannot be wrong."

"But... sir, didn't you say there is that small island?" Ding Minjun's voice was a little tense.

Chen Yan frowned slightly, and pondered for a while: "Now we can't find the expected island, there are three possibilities. The worst case is that we completely deviate from the channel, but you hold a compass, I look at the sun, moon and stars, this The possibility should not be great. Another possibility is that we have not driven to or passed the location of the island, and you are not good at driving, so it is more likely that you will not be able to reach it." Chen Yan paused when he said this Think about it: "This road mainly relies on water power and wind power, and manpower can't do it. Logically, even if it's biased, it's not like you can't even see the shadow of the island."

Ding Minjun asked anxiously: "What about the third situation?"

Chen Yan's voice was a little uncertain: "I once saw such a saying in a fragmented book, which said that seas, rivers and mountains are not static. Sometimes the land will sink into the sea, and sometimes land will be born in the sea. It's just that This statement is too unbelievable, so..."

When Chen Yan spoke, apart from a slight sarcasm when he first hurt Ding Minjun, when he analyzed the situation later, his voice was slightly lower than usual with a soothing tone, although it was still the usual indifferent tone, Ding Minjun calmed down a lot.

"Sir, what shall we do now?" Ding Minjun asked softly.

"How much fresh water and food is there?" Chen Yan did not rush to answer Ding Minjun's words, but asked about the current situation first.

Ding Minjun did the math: "It's probably enough for us to eat for 20 days. If we save money, we can last for a month."

Chen Yan nodded: "Then there is no need to look for the small island, let's go directly to the west. If you and I have not deviated from the sea, we will be able to see the land within ten days. Come back to the island."

Ding Minjun pursed her lips. In her opinion, this method was extremely risky. If she could not return to the Central Plains within five days, it would not be easy to find Xiaodao.But she didn't say much, but raised the sails and steered the ship towards the east.

Even Chen Yan, this time is not as leisurely as the previous five days, but pays great attention to the weather, wind direction and water flow.

After the fifth day and night, Ding Minjun's heart sank uncontrollably. After all, according to the original estimate, he should have returned to the Central Plains by this time.She was unavoidably worried, but seeing that Chen Yan didn't look flustered at all, Ding Minjun felt a little relieved: "Mr. is probably somewhat sure, otherwise how could he be so calm now."

The two just continued westward, and after another two days and nights, the water flow suddenly slowed down. Ding Minjun noticed that the boat was moving slowly, so he hurried to pull Chen Yan, but before he could return, he saw Chen Yan smiled at her.Ding Minjun was taken aback for a moment, and saw Chen Yan raised his finger to the distance. She followed the other's line of sight, and saw the land in the distance.

"Sir, it's land!" Ding Minjun cried out in surprise.

No wonder she was so excited. At this time, they had been on the sea for more than half a month, and they had been on the sea without seeing any land, and they had never seen an island. At this time, they could finally see their shelter, even if it was not The Central Plains also makes people happier.

"I don't know if it's the Central Plains." Ding Minjun murmured.

Even though Chen Yan had been calm and composed all the way, he couldn't help but smile at this moment: "If it's the Central Plains, you might be happy, you're finally back."

Ding Minjun turned his head to look at Chen Yan, his eyes were full of gratitude: "It is really difficult for Minjun to repay the great kindness you have done to me."

"Why do you need to thank you for your kindness?" Chen Yan said lightly, and he sat back in the cabin and ordered: "Go over there, I think it is probably the Central Plains."

Because of the slow water flow, Ding Minjun and his boat couldn't move fast, and they drifted on the sea for a whole day and night before reaching land.

This is a beach with soft sand on the ground. The two docked the boat, raised their heads and looked at each other with smiles.

Chen Yan asked, "Let's see what this place is first?"

Ding Minjun nodded: "Sir, sit here for a while, I'll go find out."

Chen Yan nodded. He couldn't compare to Ding Minjun who could walk after getting off the boat. He felt very dizzy when he got off the boat just now. He knew that he was stepping on land, but he still felt swaying.

Ding Minjun was actually a little dizzy, but her heart was agitated at this moment, she didn't care so much, as long as she thought of finally getting out of the sea, she felt extremely happy in her heart.She performed lightness kung fu, but stopped after taking a few steps. In her sight, several children were playing with sand on the beach. From this, she knew that this place must be inhabited, not a deserted island.
