"No...Gu Xixi..."
Zhang Liuba pushed hard on the edge of the raft.
He wanted to go up and sit down, then have a good talk with the other party about Gu Qingrou's matter.
But as Zhang Liu exerted more force, the raft, which had already sunk two-thirds into the sea, suddenly began to tilt due to the excessive load on one side.
Gu Xixi and Song Shuyao, who were originally sitting comfortably, suddenly began to shake.
The two of them exclaimed subconsciously, then adjusted their body angles to try to sit steadily.
Song Shuyao, whose calves were pressed, looked extremely painful.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liu quickly let go of his hand.
Then the raft returned to a stable state.
"Zhang Liu, you still have energy, you can swim back with Sister Xixi." Picking up the sheepskin coat that the other party had thrown on the raft and covering it in front of her chest, Song Shuyao persuaded him seriously: "Don't waste your energy like this."
Chapter 56 What a pity, it's so long...
"Gu Xixi, Gu Qingrou is on the island and is living well now." Without bothering to pay attention to Song Shuyao's advice, Zhang Liu spoke as he looked at Gu Xixi, who had a resigned expression on her face after she finished her confession.
Considering that Xiang Wanying always says "My eldest daughter is so cute", he plans to tell Gu Xixi about Gu Qingrou and make her willing to follow him back.
The difficulty of this rescue has been fully understood, so Zhang Liu plans to save as many people as possible.
He was sure that he could bring Gu Xixi back.
As for Song Shuyao, she could only think of a solution after rescuing Gu Xixi.
When Gu Xixi heard the name of her eldest daughter, her eyes lit up.
Then, thinking that even if the other party was rescued in the future, she would inevitably have the fate of being "sold and married off at a good price", a helpless smile appeared on her face again.
I had originally thought that after I resigned from the Gu family in the future, I would chat with him more often when I had time to help him relieve his emotions.
It seems that this cannot be done at the moment.
"Then please take good care of my young lady." Taking a deep breath of the air with the smell of the sea, Gu Xixi said to the boy in front of her whom she had secretly liked for a long time: "If possible, please..."
After a second of silence, she whispered, "Take away her first time. Only then will the young lady be free."
Under normal circumstances, Gu Xixi would never say such words to anyone.
Because there will be a lot of responsibilities and consequences.
But now, she has already determined that she will face death together with Song Shuyao.
There is nothing wrong with saying these words.
After saying that, Gu Xixi sat on the raft with a relaxed look on her face, as if she had accepted her fate and didn't care.
As for Song Shuyao's surprised expression next to her, she also ignored it.
"Zhang Liu, please take Sister Xixi back quickly. I'm sure I can't make it, but there's no need for you to stay here." Holding the wet sheepskin coat in both hands, Song Shuyao, who had come back to her senses from Gu Xixi's words, urged Zhang Liu, who was still being driven towards the open sea by the raft.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xixi, whose expression was calm, and said, "Sister Xixi, I can't move now, so you and Zhang Liu should go back first. I am a good swimmer, and I can swim back even if I have to swim after my feet recover."
"You and I are good swimmers. If you can swim back, I can do it, too." Gu Xixi looked at Song Shuyao. Her eyes were serious and gentle at the moment. "No matter what, let me accompany you."
"Sister Xixi!" Floating in the water, Zhang Liu was just about to open his mouth to follow Song Shuyao in persuading her.
But he was interrupted by Gu Xixi.
"Zhang Liu, stop trying to persuade me. If possible, please be nicer to the young lady in the future." Gu Xixi stretched out her hand to pull all her long hair that was soaked by the sea water back. Then she glanced at Zhang Liu's lower body that was blocked by the sea water and looked a little hazy, and whispered, "What a pity, it's so long..."
Gu Xixi spoke the last two words very lightly.
Not to mention the extremely anxious Zhang Liu, even Song Shuyao beside her didn't hear it.
He realized that he could no longer convince Gu Xixi to go with him, and it was impossible for him to take Song Shuyao back with him.
Feeling his strength gradually running out, Zhang Liu glanced at Gu Xixi and Song Shuyao and said, "I will definitely find a way to find you!"
After saying this, he gave the raft a hard push with both hands.
Accompanied by a reaction force, Zhang Liu's body left the back of the raft, so he could rely on treading water to resist the ocean current.
But the raft was slowly drifting away from us.
Keep your feet treading water gently to maintain balance.
About half an hour after meeting, Zhang Liu had to soak in the sea again and watch Gu Xixi and Song Shuyao sitting on the raft away from him.
Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi sat on the raft without saying a word. They just watched Zhang Liu disappear on the sea...
The looks in the three people's eyes were extremely complicated, but they had already made their own decisions, and this was all they could do at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu tried to relax his body as much as possible so that he could float on the water without expending too much effort.
Looking at the island that was already far away from him, he began to slide his arms and swim over.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Liu swam alone to the edge of the island.
Zhao Yiran and Zhou Fang, who were anxiously waiting on the shore, saw clearly that he was the only one there.
Both of their legs went weak at the same time and they sat down on the ground involuntarily.
They already understood that not only Song Shuyao, but probably even Gu Xixi had been implicated.
"Xixi..."
If only Song Shuyao was in trouble, Zhou Fang could still barely maintain her emotions, but Gu Xixi held a very important position in her heart.
To Zhou Fang, although the other party was not her goddaughter, she was also a child she had watched grow up, just like Xiang Wanying.
At the age of 31, she has never had any boyfriend experience and has long regarded Xiang Wanying and Gu Xixi as her own daughters.
It was just that due to the situation of the mistress of the Gu family, the latter had almost no contact after being sent over.
Now that she understood that she would be separated from her "little daughter" forever, Zhou Fang couldn't help but shed tears, and her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
And Zhao Yiran, who was beside her, was also in tears because of the loss of her best friend whom she had grown up with.
Zhang Liu knew nothing about the situation on the shore.
At the same time, he didn't have the leisure time to care about it.
Because it was exactly the same as what Gu Xixi had thought before.
When Zhang Liu swam to the coast and prepared to dock.
He felt the powerful push of the ocean current.
Slide your arms vigorously, swinging them like crazy as if you were sprinting the last 100 meters of a marathon.
After a brief burst, Zhang Liu successfully stepped on the underwater beach with his feet and began to use the force to stand up straight.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the underwater beach under his feet became clumpy again.
As a result, he changed from a standing position to lying on his back, and then Zhang Liu was once again carried backwards by the underwater undercurrent in an awkward manner.
"Zhang Liu!"
Noticing his situation, Zhou Fang exclaimed, and then quickly threw the broken rope to the other party.
Hearing someone shouting and seeing something flying over, Zhang Liu subconsciously reached out to grab it.
With the joint efforts of Zhou Fang and Zhao Yiran, he finally returned to the shore and stood in front of Zhou Fang and Zhao Yiran.
Zhang Liu, who was wearing only a pair of shorts, noticed the way the two men looked at him.
But at the moment he was so confused that he didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the alloy pipe from the ground, walked to the beach at least five or six meters away from the sea, and plunged into it hard.
On the way back, Zhang Liu also seriously considered how he should rescue Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi.
At present, he has come up with a relatively complete plan.
If you want to find someone on the sea, the first thing you need to do is to go in the same direction of the ocean current!
Chapter 57: The girl who only wore a little bit was embarrassed (Monthly Ticket Reward Chapter 53)
Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi didn't have oars, so they could only drift on the raft.
As for ocean currents, their force decreases the further out you go.
So relatively speaking, the speed of the two people on the sea will become slower and slower!
Therefore, Zhang Liu had a bold hypothesis, that is, as long as he made a good oar, a rowing tool, and then calculated the ocean current accurately and set off, he might be able to catch up with the two people who were drifting with the waves.
Then we all just need to go back along the opposite direction of the ocean current!
What Zhang Liu is doing now is to use the sun and the alloy tube to make a sundial timer, so as to confirm the time when he, Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi separated.
There is no way to calculate the ocean currents with the naked eye, but he can set out at the same time as the other party, so the direction of the ocean current will not change the next day, right?
Following the shadow of the alloy tube on the beach, Zhang Liu directly used his foot to draw a heavy mark on it.
He also picked up a few stones from the side and placed them in the trace.
This is to prevent the traces from being destroyed.
After confirming the time, Zhang Liu drew an arrow pointing to the northeast on the beach with his foot according to his memory, and also made a physical mark with a stone.
In this way, the direction and time of departure of Gu Xixi and Song Shuyao can be roughly determined.
After doing all this, he looked again at Zhao Yiran and Zhou Fang who were standing beside him, soaking wet.
About ten meters behind them was a large raft tied to a protruding reef, with coconuts and various fruits placed on it.
Silently observing his head teacher and classmates who were obviously a little too excited, Zhang Liu turned his head to look at the sun gradually setting in the western sky.
Then he said, "Let's calm down. It's already happened. Don't worry. Let's prepare for the night first."
Upon hearing Zhang Liu's voice, the little leopard, who had been lying on the second layer of the book basket with his eyes narrowed, immediately opened his eyes.
Then it responded with a “Wow…”
The little leopard jumped out of the book basket and came to Zhang Liu's feet, acting cute and affectionate.
Zhao Yiran, who originally had a dull expression, and Zhou Fang, who was crying, both attracted some attention.
"I have already noted the direction and time when Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi got into trouble. People can survive for at least three days without water. As long as I can go out to sea and find them within this period of time, I can rescue them." Zhang Liu picked up the rabbit skin belt he had just untied from the ground while speaking.
Looking at the knife hanging on it and his completely exposed skin, he finally decided not to put it on.
After all, it is dangerous to be cut by a knife...
Ignoring Zhou Fang and Zhao Yiran's sudden excited reactions, Zhang Liu took out a fire hammer from his rabbit skin belt, then he turned his head to look at the palm trees behind him.
As for spending the night, Zhang Liu planned to build a simple shelter using several palm trees about three meters apart not far away.
"Is it really possible for us to find Shuyao again?" Zhao Yiran rushed to the other party and asked.
"Hmm?" Zhang Liu, who was about to chop down a tree, subconsciously glanced at the half of Zhao Yiran's chest that was exposed. Then he said, "Theoretically, it's possible, but at the moment, compared to discussing the search plan, I would rather have a good rest first."
All he really wanted now was to build a resting place and recover his strength.
Seeing the discomfort behind Zhang Liu's indifferent expression, Zhou Fang first wiped the tears from her cheeks.
Then she walked over to Zhao Yiran, held down the student who was about to ask more questions, and said, "Yiran, Zhang Liu is also feeling very uncomfortable now."
Hearing Zhou Fang's words, Zhang Liu trembled all over.
The biggest reason why Zhang Liu kept working after confirming that Song Shuyao and Gu Xixi had left the location was that he was really frustrated.
Not only did he fail to rescue Song Shuyao, but he also got Gu Xixi killed...
What made Zhang Liu even more uncomfortable was Gu Xixi's confession to him.
There was a moment when he really wanted to pull the other person into the water at all costs and then return.
However, the attitude Gu Xixi showed when she took the initiative to ask to stay made Zhang Liu understand that it was impossible for him to take any tough action against her.
So now he has vented all his emotions on the palm trees in front of him.
Zhang Liu used all his strength in every chopped blow.
After hearing what the head teacher said, Zhao Yiran glanced at Zhang Liu, who was swinging a fire hammer frantically to tidy up a palm tree.
She realized that her words and attitude were a little too hasty, and a deep sense of guilt suddenly appeared on her face.
Zhao Yiran knew the difficulty of underwater rescue.
