Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron
Chapter 19: Arishima Mist Blue
Ten days passed like this, and with medication and careful care, the wound on Bai Yixing's right chest began to grow new flesh and gradually healed.
However, the injury to the lungs did not seem to get better. If he breathed a little harder, he would cough uncontrollably, causing unbearable pain in his entire chest, and he would also cough up a lot of blood.
Qin Gang frowned and said, "I guess the halberd used by the mermaid who injured you was made of seabed iron, which is extremely cold. This is probably the reason why your lung injury cannot be healed."
Bai Yixing asked: "Then...how can I cure it?"
Qin Gang replied after a long while: "You have at most one month. Unless you find the elixir from Cangmu or Chisha, it will be difficult for you to survive."
Bai Yixing was stunned and said, "But we... are now in the sea. This place... does this place belong to Cangmu Country or Chisha Country..."
Qin Gang replied: "This place belongs to Lanming Country."
Bai Yixing burst into tears and asked, "Brother, you... you mean... I... I can't survive anymore?"
Qin Gang nodded silently.
After hearing that he only had a month to live, Bai Yixing initially thought that rather than suffer from the pain and suffering, it would be more comfortable to die early and put an end to it all.
After a day, he began to become demented. Every day when he woke up, he would just mutter: "It's all over... hehe... it's all over..."
Several of the other injured and rescued boatmen had gradually recovered and sat by his bed, trying to comfort him with sweet words, but it was of no avail.
But Bai Yixing's condition became worse day by day. He started to have irregular bowel movements and often talked nonsense after waking up. Everyone was fed up with him, so they found a small cabin for him and had several people take turns to take care of him.
Hu Yong managed to escape with his life, and after his wounds were almost healed, he came to take care of Bai Yixing.
One day at noon, Bai Yixing woke up from a coma and said to Hu Yong who was lying on the empty bed beside him: "I want to go to the deck to get some fresh air and see where we are." He seemed to be in better spirits.
Hu Yong sighed and muttered, "Master, where else can we go? There is water in front of us, water behind us, water on the left and water on the right! But the clean water on this boat is getting less and less and it's almost finished. Sooner or later, everyone will die of thirst on this boat!" Although he was reluctant, he still helped Bai Yixing walk slowly onto the deck.
The air on the deck was much fresher than that in the cabin. Bai Yixing couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and then started coughing violently again.
Hu Yong frowned and said, "Master, I think you'd better go down. The wind on the sea is a bit cold. If you breathe too much, I'm afraid you will die faster."
Bai Yixing stopped coughing and waved at him, indicating that he did not want to go down the cabin.
It was already autumn. The northeast wind was still blowing over the sea, comfortable and gentle, like soft silk brushing across the face.
There was a thin layer of green mist in the distance and the weather was a little gloomy, but it didn't look like it was going to rain.
Bai Yixing breathed in the fresh air and felt much better. He asked Hu Yong while coughing, "How many days have we been on the sea?"
Hu Yong said unhappily, "Do you want to count from the time when Ice City sailed out to sea or from when?"
Bai Yixing said, "It took us fifty-three days from the time we set out from Ice City to the time we encountered the tsunami. It took another day to reach the mermaid territory, a total of fifty-four days... I can't remember the rest."
Hu Yong said: "It should be about twenty days. This ship is out of control. I'm afraid it will take us to the sacred mountain, haha..." His voice sounded helpless and sad.
Bai Yixing suddenly sang a nursery rhyme from the Snow Country: "There are two gods on the God Mountain, their love is the envy of the world; there is a magical fruit on the God Mountain, a child stole the magical fruit to eat; one fruit can defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers, two fruits can drive colorful clouds, and three fruits can open a magical forest..."
Hu Yong said, "Master, you don't know the 'Song of the Wanderer' that everyone can sing, but how come you remember this song sung by a child so clearly?"
Bai Yixing looked dazed, and then said: "We have arrived at the Shangshen Mountain, how nice..."
A boatman came up behind the two men and said with a sigh, "He is confused half a day and clear half a day. I'm afraid his life will only last these few days."
Hu Yong said with a sad face: "In ten days or half a month, we will all die. What is there to sigh about?"
Bai Yixing raised his right hand and pointed to the front right, saying, "We have really reached the Upper Divine Mountain. Look quickly."
The two looked in the direction Bai Yixing pointed, and sure enough, in the green mist in the distance ahead, the outline of an island appeared faintly. They rubbed their eyes at the same time, thinking that they must be dazzled. How could there be an island in this damn place?
The big ship drifted slowly, and after a while, we took a closer look and realized that it was nothing else but an island.
All I could see was the undulating mountains stretching from northwest to southeast, and I had no idea how big they were.
The two of them shouted excitedly. Hu Yong said tremblingly: "Quick...quickly go and call Qin Gang...Qin Gang and the others to come up, we...we have a chance to survive!"
The boatman ran down to the cabin, shouting excitedly as he ran: "There is an island, there is an island ahead! Haha, we can survive..."
When everyone heard the shouts, Qin Gang and four less injured boatmen also rushed to the deck. When they saw the island becoming clearer, they jumped and shouted for joy.
Qin Gang said to himself: "There really is an island here..."
The island was huge, probably several hundred miles across. The sea was covered with mist, so only its outline could be seen, not its entirety.
The boat moved very slowly and it took almost an hour to reach the shallow water area at the coast.
I saw seabirds flying freely on the island's beach, fish swimming leisurely among the reefs, trees growing lush and tall on the hillside, and many unknown wild flowers, scattered in clusters here and there, colorful and beautiful.
Everywhere you look, you see a lively scene, and everyone is very excited.
Hu Yong held Bai Yixing's hand and said, "Master, you... you really have the protection of the gods. You said there is an island, and there really is one here. Good, good, this is great!"
Bai Yixing looked indifferent, thinking, what does this island have to do with me? I will die on the boat in the end.
Qin Gang looked at the different scenery in front of him with a smile, without saying a word.
The big ship slowly approached the island with the waves, and soon it ran aground on the beach. Several people lifted the anchor and threw it into the sea to prevent it from being drifted away by the waves.
Qin Gang said: "This island is thousands of miles away from the mainland. It should be an uninhabited island. The water in the boat is almost used up. We need to find some water on the island, replenish some food, and find a way to cut some wood to repair the rudder and oars. Then we will have hope of returning to the mainland."
Everyone had the same idea and said that was exactly the case.
