Bai Qinghao also gathered other useful items, including a small stove that relied on burning solid alcohol, a lighter and four sets of clothes.
After confirming that the boat could endure the weight of these items, he placed them all on the boat.
The villagers watched as Fang Xinxin climbed onto the boat with her hatchet firmly pressed against Yi Mo’s neck.
Bai Qinghao slowly rowed the boat and left the island.
Bai Qinghao could rely on his watch as a compass and was not afraid of getting lost.
The large boat moved along the ocean for some time. Yi Mo held onto his bleeding neck and cried out. “Let go of me!”
Fang Xinxin lifted an eyebrow. “I didn’t say I would let you off.”
“What do you want to do then?” Yi Mo appeared fearful.
“Kill you.” Fang Xinxin responded directly.
Bai Qinghao approached them and picked up the other hatchet. He delivered a fatal blow to Yi Mo’s chest and sent him flying into the ocean with a kick.
His movements were swift and sharp. Yi Mo did not even have the time to cry out in pain.
Bai Qinghao turned to look at Fang Xinxin. He was afraid she would be frightened. To his surprise, she appeared unfazed.
He approached her side and embraced her. “My wife, I’m sorry…”
She glanced at him from the side. “Why are you apologizing?”
“I didn’t expect this to happen…”
“It’s alright.” She smiled. “Aren’t we safe and well?”
He held her tightly. “If you weren’t smart enough to make use of Yi Mo, we would be doomed by now.”
“No matter what, you would have protected me, wouldn’t you?” She took in his stern, handsome features.
“Yes.” He was deeply moved as he kissed her. “I would sacrifice my life for you.”
“So would I.”
“You have already done it.” If it hadn’t been for her, he would already have died in the ocean.
“Sit down and rest. I’ll row the boat.” Bai Qinghao approached the front of the boat and rowed.
Several minutes later, as their boat moved further and further, Yi Mo’s body floated to the surface. The water around him was dyed red before he was quickly swept away.
Fang Xinxin glanced at Yi Mo’s corpse. She felt that perhaps they should have kept him alive and made him work for them.
However, she was certain Bai Qinghao must have thought about this.
Yi Mo was extremely vicious. He was even capable of framing someone of murder. He was a dangerous individual.
If they kept him alive, he would most definitely wait for an opportunity to cause trouble. That would have placed both of them in danger. Now that he was dead, at the very least, they would not have to be on their guards.
Thus, Bai Qinghao had swiftly ended his life.
Fang Xinxin sat in the middle of the boat. She scanned their surroundings and only saw the boundless ocean. No matter where she looked, there was no land in sight.
Thankfully, Bai Qinghao’s watch could be relied on as a compass. “Hubby, where are we headed to right now?”
“If we row towards the south for eight days, we’ll arrive at the nearest town.”
“How do you know this?”
“This was written in one of the notebooks in Yi Mo’s home. I flipped through it quickly. Aside from this sentence, all he wrote were simple, English words. He must have been practicing English.”
“Oh.”
“I took four sets of clothes from his home. Two are for men and two are for women.” Bai Qinghao said, “Quickly change into something clean.”
Fang Xinxin agreed.
From the moment they landed in the ocean, she had yet to take a shower.
She began to search through the things on the boat. Everything here was useful. There was a water tank, a wooden bucket…
“Hubby, I’ll use some water for a quick shower.” she truly could not endure it any longer..
