Because everyone was just having breakfast before they went out, in the evening, their young stomachs were starting to torment the young college students.
“Hey, anybody has something to eat? It’s okay even if it just crust.
“Yeah, we are all classmates, if someone has something, don’t hide it.”
Toward these meaningless sound, most people chose to remain silent. They did not have the mood to speak.
After the shouts from these several people, someone finally told them to shut up.
Because there were so many people, and the deck can only accommodate some of them, many people went to the cabin to sleep to get through that unbearable hunger.
By nine o’clock in the evening, the cabin was silent.
The next morning, while sleeping, the students heard a quarrel sound.
“You idiot, what have you done?”
“Why are you being so loud? We just use the water to clean ourselves.”
“Why don’t you use seawater, why used this water? Don’t you know that this water is used for drinking?”
“You are crazy, the seawater is so dirty, how could you let us use it? Moreover, we only use a little bit, what are you so anxious about? I didn’t know you are such a mean person.”
“What little bit, you took the whole one-third of it.”
When the students woke up, they saw a guy loudly quarreled with two girls.
The reason for their argument was simple. Because there were a few girls who used the drinking water to clean their mouth and face. If this was normal, nobody would bother to give their opinion, but their ship cannot be started, and their only drinking water was only a barrel. Seeing that barrel of water was now less than half full, not only that boy, even the other boys cannot help but loudly scold the two girls.
Being yelled at, the two girls burst into tears, “We are not the only one who use this, the other people also use this. But after they used this they immediately ran away.”
In the afternoon, a boy could not resist his burning sense of hunger, and kicked the side of a chair.
“When are those guys going to come? If this continues, we will all die here.”
The other students looked at his meaningless action with glazed eyes. This was the first time they found out that hunger was such a terrible thing.
At this time, the student who supported Lei Yin’s plan stood up and said out loud: “At this time, are you still going to stubbornly wait for the rescue? What if no one come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, how are we going to do?”
Hearing his words, everyone’s hearts sank. Even one day has been so hard for them, so how could they dare to imagine what would happen in the next two or three days.
“You shut up, at this time, you are still saying such unlucky words.” The first student who opposed the plan stood up and glared at him.
Standing on the deck outside, Lei Yin came in after hearing the brawl, “I ask you again, are you still going to insist on waiting here until you die?”
“Bast*rd, what did you say?” That student screamed in anger.
“The one who need to shut up is you, if you dare to say a word, I’ll throw you into the sea at once.” Lei Yin’s face revealed a dangerous look.
Seeing the look in his eyes, that student immediately remembered that the man was the ‘human weapon.’ He suddenly did not dare to make a sound anymore. ^If^you^read^this^change the site@
Lei Yin then loudly said toward those students who were looking at him: “You have no choice in this, if you do not want to die, then do as I say. Now pick up your paddle and go to the deck.”
Tortured by hunger, the students absolutely have no opinion and involuntarily stood up.
Looking at these students feebly paddling the boat, the thought of whipping them with a whip flashed through his mind.
But when he looked at the waves, he suddenly thought of something, and cannot help but curse himself,How could I forget such a simple thing.
He went back to the cabin and tore down all the curtains on the windows. Then he went to the deck to find a roll of rope, and then he brought those curtains, as well as the rope to climb to the top of the cabin.
Lei Yin’s action caught the attention of the other people, all of whom looked at him in bewilderment.
“What does he want to do?”
“I don’t know.”
After a while, when Lei Yin put those curtains together with a thin wire to make a large thick cloth and then tied it to the flagpole, the students finally came to understand that he was making a sail.
After a few minutes, when Lei Yin unfurled this slightly coarse sail and tied it with a rope, he pointed to a few boys and said: “You guys come here.”
Those boys looked at each other and then went to the cabin to climb the ladder.
“I will teach you how to adjust the angle of the sail according to the wind direction. From now on, the few of us will take turn to guard here.” With that, regardless of whether they agreed with him, he began to teach them.
These few guys knew that with this simple sail, as long as they well adjust the angle, they could accelerate the speed of the ship. Compared with the mechanicalness of rowing the boat, this work was much easier and more fun. Therefore, very quickly, they were eager to learn.
Soon, the evening came. A more intense hunger than yesterday invaded their stomachs. Many people did not have the strength to stand up. All of them were limply lying or sitting in a chair.
“Lei, you need to eat at least a little bit, okay?” At this time, on the top of the cabin, the little girl was sitting on Lei Yin’s lap while putting a piece of bread in his mouth.
These few slices of bread were all that he found when he searched for food in the bridge. They were probably the Captain’s yesterday breakfast. At the time, he did not tell anyone and just quietly put it away to save it for Amy.
“No, you have it.” Lei Yin smiled and patted her face.
The little girl’s eyes were red, “But you did not eat anything at all these two days. Eat something, please?”
“I really am not hungry.”
“If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either.”
“If you don’t behave, I am going to spank you, be obedient and eat this.”
Seeing his unhappy look, the little girl had to obediently put that piece of bread into her mouth. But as she ate, she continued to shed tears.
Seeing her cried like this, Lei Yin felt slightly guilty, so he used his hand to gently stroke her hair, “I’m sorry, kid.”
The little girl looked at him with her teary eyes and then plunged into his chest, crying.
After a while, she said while sobbing in tears: “I am afraid something will happen to you, Lei.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I will definitely take you back safely.” Lei Yin smiled as he used his sleeve to wipe away her tears
The little girl blankly stared at his smile.
