Count of Monte Cristo

The wind and rain in the message only lasted for one day, and Edmond took a day off at Lin Ke's request. Lin Ke gave Edmond all the honeysuckle pills.He has learned a lot and grown a lot during this period of desert island. The most obvious change is that his muscles have become tighter, and his calves and arms have also become stronger. At least he looks more powerful than he was on the Maiden.

Edmund's wound healed very quickly. Although his right arm could not move freely yet, he was going to cut trees on the third day.Originally, Lin Ke wanted to go by himself, but Edmund disagreed. The two stalemate for a long time, and finally Lin Ke compromised.They went to the swamp again in the afternoon, and this time they were well prepared. Lin Ke also brought a torch and a knife.

Because Edmond's right arm could not use force, it took them two days to cut down the big tree and bring it back, and it took another two days to repair the boat, and then Edmond's right arm was almost free to move. up.The two stayed for another two days and prepared a lot of food and fresh water. Edmund picked all the wild fruits in the woods, Lin Ke grilled dozens of fish, and Edmund caught an unknown fish. The animal, which ran slowly, was caught by Lin Ke and Edmund together, and then it was roasted, the meat was dried, and then all the items that could hold water were filled with fresh water.The two packed everything up and spent another night in their cave hut, ready to leave at dawn the next day.

This was their last night on the desert island, and Lin Ke was both excited and suddenly felt reluctant. Such a life experience, he remembered it with an unspeakable mood in the future.Edmund's stern face also softened. He asked a question in Latin before, but Lin Ke didn't answer it.Lin Ke felt and looked left and right in the cave cabin, as if he was looking for treasure.

Edmund said, "Lin Ke, what is your country like?"

This question was very sudden, Lin Ke's hand trembled suddenly, and he said sullenly: "It is an ancient, beautiful and modern country, I like the life there very much, it is very free and it will not be as difficult as it is now, but I will go back No..." His tone was very low at the end.

"We can go to your hometown to see." Edmond blurted out, and then seemed to remember something, his face became ugly, and he didn't say the next words.

"No," Lin Ke refused, "we can't go there." It's the early nineteenth century, and China is still under the Manchu Qing government, and there are internal and external troubles. What can we do when we go back?

"Edmond, what will we do when we get back to land?" First of all, the two of them have every penny on them, and they don't have anything to prove their identity.If they return to land, Edmond will not be able to go to Monte Cristo Island to retrieve those treasures for a while, and they will still be displaced during this period.Moreover, Lin Ke glanced at Edmund again, did he trust himself completely now?Are you willing to take him to get those treasures?Lin Ke carefully recalled the plot from the book before, but he was not sure.He only remembered that Edmund got the treasure to avenge the former captain's kindness to him, and paid vengeance to his three enemies, and finally disappeared with an Indian princess, a girl named Heidi... He patted himself on the head, but he couldn't remember the names of the three enemies. He vaguely remembered a man named Fernan, and he didn't know anything about the process of revenge.By the way, he still has a fiancée and a father, but it seems that his father died, and his fiancée married his enemy, what is it called... what is it, Lin Ke pondered, ah!Suddenly thought, "Fernan!" His name is Fernan!He actually yelled out directly.

"What did you say?!" Edmond suddenly asked loudly, "Whose name did you call just now?" He was very sensitive and hated this name, and looked at Lin Ke with complicated eyes.

Lin Ke suddenly woke up, "No, I... am not..."

Seeing Lin Ke's terrified expression, Edmond softened his expression, "I suddenly thought of an enemy of mine, and he was also named Fernan."

"Your enemy?" Lin Ke breathed out, and asked carefully, "Can you tell me what's going on? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, hehe..." Lin Ke laughed twice, trying to ease the tension atmosphere of.

Edmund pondered for a long time, and then told Lin Ke some things that happened to him as a sailor before. He talked about his father, his fiancée Mercedes, and his good friend Fernan, and told about their past together. The expression on his face was filled with nostalgia as he spoke.Lin Ke listened carefully. As a good listener, he would laugh out loud when he heard funny things, and his face would glow with envy when he heard funny things.When Edmund talked about those happy things, he used a very happy tone, as if he had returned to his youthful days... Finally, he talked about the adventures he encountered when he went out to sea for the last time, and he also talked about the adventures he encountered. To Napoleon.Lin Ke asked curiously at this time, what does he think of Napoleon?After all, he was involved in Napoleon's affairs.

Edmond's expression immediately became serious, and his expressionless tone was full of respect, "No! He is a great man!" Finally, he talked about his wedding... Then Edmond stopped talking, and he said, "It's very late Go to sleep. Save your energy and go to sea tomorrow..." In the end, he still didn't tell Lin Ke everything.

Lin Ke also wisely stopped asking, and lay down obediently.

"Father, may God bless you!" Lin Ke heard Edmund's prayer in the dark.His heart ached suddenly, and he might not know that his father had died.When Lin Ke heard him talking about his fiancée Mercedes just now, his tone was very calm, and nothing could be seen in his eyes.Lin Ke vaguely thought that maybe he still misses his fiancée, but the reality will tell him how cruel it is.Lin Ke turned over, and Edmond's back was facing him. His broad and straight back was as steady and reliable as a mountain.Lin Ke heard his breathing gently and forcefully, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lin Ke stretched out his hand, whispered a sentence in Latin, then blinked, one yawn came one after another, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

He didn't see the moment when he read Latin, Edmond's back suddenly stiffened, and when Lin Ke fell asleep, Edmond sat up slowly and looked at Lin Ke's sleeping face. Struggling helplessly.

When Xiwei dawned, they had already started their voyage in the small boat.

The boat sailed south smoothly, because the power equipment on the boat was broken, and Edmund spent a long time repairing it, even Lin Ke was on the field but couldn't fix it, so the two could only paddle.At the beginning, Lin Ke was full of motivation, but after rowing for a long time, he couldn't do it anymore, his hands were sore and he felt dizzy.Edmund asked him to rest, and Lin Ke looked at the sea, which was endless and boundless.Their solitary boat is like a drop of water falling into the ocean without a sound.At noon, the two ate a little casually, drank a little fresh water, and then continued on their way.There are no ships in this area.When they arrived at night, they would sleep in different shifts. One person paddled in the middle of the night, the other in the second half of the night, and the rest slept. Because they were afraid of danger, they had to take turns in this way.They sailed like this for three nights without encountering a single boat passing by.

Edmund couldn't see any joy or anger, but Lin Ke was a little restless.

Life on the ship was extremely boring, and the space for activities was limited. Lin Ke could do nothing but stretch his body. He had read all the books that Edmund could read.He even hummed several pop songs in his memory over and over again.Even when he hummed, Edmund could catch up with him.Once he jumped into the sea on a whim, saying that he was going to catch fish, which surprised Edmund.When he came up, Edmond scolded him angrily and threatened him that there were sharks in the sea.Lin Ke shrugged in disbelief.

While wiping his hair with dry clothes, Edmund reminded him of the dangers in the sea. What he said was well-founded, but Lin Ke could not refute it. He could only promise not to go into the sea casually next time.

By the evening of the fourth day, they encountered a cruise ship.It was a very large and luxurious ship.Some distance from them.Lin Ke could feel its incomparable momentum from a distance, and they were pleasantly surprised.The two stepped up their horsepower, paddled their oars desperately, and moved towards the giant ship.

When he could see the whole picture of the giant ship clearly, Lin Ke began to call for help!

But there was no reaction on board, and the speed of the giant ship was also very fast. The two panted and did not catch up. They watched the giant ship drive away from them.

Lin Ke's voice was hoarse, and Edmund was not much better, but the two of them were still not rescued, and they still stayed in their own boat.Lin Ke was lying in the cabin with his limbs wide open and his chest heaving. He was breathing loudly, unable to speak out when he was tired.Both of them were sweating like two dead dogs lying in the cabin.It took a long time for the two of them to recover and clap their hands to cheer up again.As long as the cruise ship passes by, don’t be afraid, this one won’t work, there is the next one.

The two checked the food and fresh water on the boat and found that they could still support them for about four days. If they could not get rescue within these four days, they had to find another way.

Edmund washed his face with sea water, and then said: "We can do it. Eat something first and get some sleep. We will drive in the first half of the night, and stop the boat to rest in the second half of the night."

Lin Ke also meant the same thing. The nerves of the two of them were tense, and they should take a good rest.

He nodded, then took a few sips of water from himself, and ate a few more wild fruits. Those were the last three. Lin Ke saved his food, and he planned to save the last one for tomorrow.Edmund couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his pitiful appearance. "Go ahead and eat as much as you want when you go ashore."

Lin Ke thought about it and still didn't finish all the food, otherwise he would have nothing to look forward to.

Soon it was night, both of them were asleep, and Lin Ke vaguely felt that there were lights on the sea.He opened his eyes and saw that Edmund had also sat up. Both of them saw a light coming from a distance. It was the light on a merchant ship! !

The two of them stopped hesitating and quickly moved towards the direction of the light!

Race against time, the two felt excited again, this time the ship is stopped, as long as they are fast enough, they will be saved!

close, close...

Lin Ke could even see the shadows on the deck!

That might be the sailor of the night watch!

Lin Ke opened his mouth wide, curled his hands up like a trumpet, and shouted, "Help!"

The rest of the voice stopped abruptly!

Suddenly Edmund covered his mouth, Lin Ke struggled, not knowing what Edmund was planning.Edmund whispered, "We need to hide immediately, it's a pirate ship!" Edmond's eyesight was much better than Linko's, he could see the arrangement on the ship, and more importantly, he saw the pirate's flag, That is a warning to the surrounding merchant ships!A big skull!Lin Ke could see in the daytime, but his eyesight is limited in the dark.Edmond's eyesight has improved even more because of his 14 years in prison.

With a shock, Lin Ke broke out in a cold sweat.Edmund let go of Linko, and the two quickly backed away, trying to stay away from the pirate ship.

However, the pirates on the pirate ship seemed to have noticed Lin Ke's sound just now.Edmund looked back and saw the pirates on the deck looking at each other, but they saw nothing.In the end, Edmund and Linko jumped into the sea just to be safe. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound. They boarded the boat again and continued to stay away from the pirate ship.When everything was safe and sound, the two realized that they were still dripping wet.

Lin Ke thought of the scene just now, and was still a little scared.

The two looked at each other, then laughed, and finally lay down in the cabin, and didn't care about anything else, let's go to sleep first.

After another two days of wandering in the sea like this, they have not encountered a single ship, and there is not much food left, but the good news is that they saw a small island again, this time they don’t have to worry about starving to death in the sea up.

The sea is magnificent, and the sea breeze is extremely cool, and most of the depression that blows people's hearts has dissipated.

God still cared for them, and when Edmund wanted to board the strange island to replenish food, they met a merchant ship.And this ship also brought hope and bad news to Edmund.
