Chapter 279

Ye Qing has been to this island before, and its geographical location can avoid the Gulf of Aden. That's why the shipowner just dared to stop. However, this island is not suitable for people to live on, and it is extremely sparsely populated. The main reason is that there are no fresh water resources on this island, and there are very few edible things.

When ye Qing came here last time, she only met three people on the island, and these three people passed by temporarily. This time, Ye Qing judged from her footprints on the beach. For at least three days, no one came ashore near here.

Ye Qing knows the island like the palm of her hand. The last time she came here, Ye Qing turned over the island for the sake of freshness. Originally, she wanted to find out if there were any spiritual and poisonous plants. But ye Qing found that there were nothing but weeds here.

After Ye Qing went ashore, he also calculated in his mind that if he could save some fresh water, he would have no problem for seven or eight days, and he had enough dry food. So the most important thing for Ye Qing now is to make a simple bamboo raft and then follow the wind to the other bank. In five or six days, there should be no problem.

There are many trees on the island. This sharp saber was also used. It took almost a whole day. A small bamboo raft with sails was also made.

Looking at the night, Ye Qing closed her eyes and took a rest beside the rising bonfire. There are few poisonous snakes around here, so Ye Qing has a good sleep.

As the night passed, it was clear. Ye Qing dipped her fingers in the sea water, and then rose to measure the wind direction. Fortunately today, the sea breeze is blowing towards the port of Beira in Somalia. Ye Qing pushes her bamboo raft to the seaside, and then rises and retreats against the waves. Ye Qing finally embarks on the road to Somalia.

Life on the sea is the most difficult. People who have experienced floating on the sea know that it is usually extremely hot in the morning and extremely cold at night. Especially when the sun is shining, the sunlight is reflected on the sea, which is not only dazzling, but also the most important thing is the rising heat of the sea, which is the most intolerable.

Ye Qing is also very uncomfortable at this time, but it is also a test of people's patience. After three days and nights of wandering on the sea, Ye Qing can see the opposite shore in front of her eyes. Ye Qing has made a visual inspection of the distance between them. It only takes more than one day at most to reach the other shore.

"It's almost there at last." Ye Qing smiles, spits out a tone lightly, murmurs. Ye Qing suffered a lot in these three days. On the first day, the wind direction was pretty good, but the sun was very hot. But the next day it was against the wind, and Ye Qing had no choice but to wind up and push the raft. On the third day, there was a small storm. If ye Qing's raft wasn't strong and strong, the wind and waves would not be violent. Otherwise, the raft would be scattered by a wave.

After three days, Ye Qing also had strong wind and heavy rain. It's just that Ye Qing's image at this time is really hard to be complimented. Her hair is in a mess, and her face is sallow with black, especially the stubble. It really looks no different from the beggars on the roadside.

If ye Qing is not well-equipped, maybe in other people's eyes, this is just like a sea refugee, which has the elegant image of the past.

And at this time, suddenly, not far east of Ye Qing's bamboo raft, several broken boats appeared.

Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help laughing. Because of the equipment of the Somali pirates, Ye Qing really didn't dare to compliment him. The last time he came to Somalia, Ye Qing was not robbed, because their ship was only temporarily docked on the island for a period of time, and soon it came out again.

But this time it's different. This time Ye Qing is drifting from the island to Somalia, and the range is just the Gulf of Aden, so she is likely to encounter pirates.

But I didn't expect that I didn't meet him three days ago, but I met him at this time.

Moreover, if ye Qing's current image is regarded as a beggar, then the people on these broken boats should be regarded as the beggars' sect.

Among the three broken boats, there were less than ten people with guns in their hands. On these three boats, there were more than fifty people standing. The rest of them were almost wooden sticks and iron bars, and there were few people with clothes on them.

This kind of person can also be regarded as a pirate. Ye Qing really opened her eyes.

However, it's good to take advantage of these pirates and take a boat to the opposite side. Although the boat is a little broken, it's better than the bamboo raft at least.

Facing the fierce pirates, Ye Qing stood up wisely. The pirates looked at Ye Qing and immediately yelled in Somali, "who are you?"

If you want to speak many languages, Ye Qing is almost proficient. Unless it's a very remote language, Ye Qing doesn't have the ability or the opportunity to learn it. But when she first came to Africa, she spent more than a year in Africa, so she learned most of the languages in Africa.

So in terms of language, Ye Qing has no obstacles at all.

"My boat broke, and I was the only one left on the boat. I floated to an island, and then I made a bamboo raft and rowed towards this side. Please help me." Ye Qing said in fluent English. At the same time, she also adjusted her expression. She seemed to be eager for help. Looking at these pirates, Ye Qing pretended to be very excited.

There is a reason why Ye Qing doesn't want to use Somali. If ye Qing uses Somali at this time, it will immediately arouse the suspicion of the other party.

You know, the highest level of pretending to be forced is when the other party is a fool, and your heart has long regarded the other party as a fool.

Ye Qing now wants them to treat themselves as fools. In this way, they will take themselves lightly. As long as they despise themselves, Ye Qing will have a way to subdue them. After all, they have real people. Ye Qing doesn't want to fight against these people.

Moreover, English is the common language here. When ye Qing speaks English, the other party must be able to understand it. In addition, Ye Qing's expression just now almost deceives these pirates.

"Ha ha, this fool even asked us to save him."

"Didn't he know we were pirates?"

"It looks like a fat sheep. Do you see the package on his body? There must be something good in it."

"And he was born in the army in his field uniform. There must be a lot of good guns and knives."

Sure enough, as Ye Qing expected, those people who heard Ye Qing say so all made scorn and ridicule. Of course, these words were spoken in Somali.

Ye Qing is still at a loss on the surface. In fact, she is already sneering in her heart.
