Chapter 385 Typhoon
After we came back from fishing, we cooked the abalone and ate it, and continued to discuss and plan the shipbuilding business.
The black and strong screws have been made almost the same. Now all you need is the base pole and oar. These are big things that cannot be made here, so you have to go to the beach to make it.
To do such a thing, we must first cut down a tree. We ran into the woods and wanted to find a tree suitable for boats. After searching for a day, we found a tree suitable for us, but when we wanted to cut down, it was already dark, so we had to make a mark and go home first.
After a busy day, we were not in the mood to be busy with our wife and Momo again, so we fell asleep that night.
The next morning, after we found the tree we wanted, we picked up the knife and sawed it. Within a day, I sawed it off and transported it to the beach, and the day passed again.
Shipbuilding is really a tiring job. I closed my eyes while thinking about it.
So we were busy every day until that day came.
During the day that day, everything was normal. Until the afternoon, the wind seemed to be particularly strong and our ship was blown back a lot. If we had cut corners when building the ship, our ship would probably have become fragmented now.
However, even if the ship was not scraped, our current form is still not optimistic. In order to be able to transfer safely, I had to let the four of us go into the cave.
The wind was blowing harder and there was no sign of weakening at all. I frowned. The wind seemed to be planning to uproot the entire island.
We were running more and more into the hole, which was really scary, as if we took a step forward and all of us would be missing.
My heart was beating. The first time I saw a typhoon on the island, it seemed like I was going to uproot the small island rooted in the water and throw it into the Pacific Ocean. Don’t mention us inconspicuous people. If we step out of this cave at this time, we will definitely be blown to pieces by the violent typhoon. Even now we are standing deep in the cave, I feel that it is already quite difficult to grasp the wall of the cave.
The blue veins on my hands seemed to be inevitable. Now I can only try my best to expect us to be scraped to the same place. I was thinking this way and lost consciousness the next second.
When I woke up again, there was no one around me and my head hurt so much. I simply rubbed my temples with my hands, hoping to relieve some headaches. I gently shrank my legs, and my joints seemed to have rusted. I opened my sour eyes and blocked my forehead with my hands to adapt to the strong light from the sun.
I don’t know where they are, I feel a little depressed. I just sat upright and lay sadly on the ground. Why do we have to go through such hardships every time we have to make up our minds to live a better life?
But God did not give me too much time to be depressed. After a while, the raindrops as big as beans hit every cell in my body. There were traces of being scraped by branches on my body, and some of the flesh was directly exposed to the air. If I was wet like this and the wound was ulcerated, I might die of typhoid fever on the deserted island.
I grabbed a leaf from the tree that could barely cover me to prevent the wound from getting worse. I ran into a cave nearby and unexpectedly found a familiar figure.
"Momo?" I swallowed, trying to moisten my extremely dry throat, but it didn't work. The sound of my mouth was like a broken bellows, which was not too much to describe as harsh.
Before I could react, she rushed into my arms. Feeling the familiar body fragrance and hug, my heart calmed down a little.
Her weak body kept shaking in my arms, and it seemed that she was quite stimulating.
However, it is a blessing and a thankful thing to meet a familiar person in such an extreme environment. Hei Zhuang and his wife, who are missing, don’t know where they are. Are they injured? Have they woken up? Have they found a place to shelter from the wind and rain?
With my own uncertain future, I began to worry about them.
"How did your face become like this?" Momo took me back to reality with one sentence.
I know that I must be even more savage than savages. There are messy weeds on my head, and my face is covered with wounds caused by the typhoon. My lips are covered with cracked marks, and my mouth is furry beard. Compared to my sloppy appearance, Momo is not much better. There were several shocking blood marks on my white and delicate face, and my clothes were scratched several big holes. Only then did I realize that Momo in my arms was shaking slightly.
How can a thin layer of broken fabric resist this damn weather? Besides, a big man like me can feel the biting cold. A weak woman like Momo can only feel even colder, and my heart tugged hard.
What can I do?
I took off my clothes and put them on Momo. Momo resisted a few times, stared at me with her eyes, and said, "You... are cold."
"I am a man, I'm fine." I forced my clothes to her and prevented her from making any useless struggles.
Momo had to obediently put on my clothes.
"How did you get here?" The best way to dilute a person's feelings is to divert this person's attention in this matter. This is the only thing I can do except putting clothes on Momo.
"I don't know much," Momo said hesitantly, "When I woke up, I found that I was already here."
It seems that Momo is in the end better than mine. At least she has not been hit by the rain, and there is no problem of purulent wounds. But my situation is not as optimistic as her. The wounds on my body are aching faintly, and my consciousness is a little distracted. Momo was just talking and knew that there was something wrong when she saw my face pale. She held me in time so that I could sit on the ground more comfortable.
"Brother-in-law," Momo should have been scared by the situation in front of me, "Don't scare me, wake up," I felt Momo shaking my body, and my eyes turned dark and I fainted.
By the time I woke up again, the weather had turned clear and shone into the cave, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
I subconsciously blocked my eyes with my hands.
"You're awake," Momo's familiar voice came to her ears, and her voice was still a little choked. It seemed that she had been crying after I fainted, and she didn't stop until I woke up.
"Well," I responded softly to her. If I am grateful for anything, then I should be more grateful for the powerful self-healing ability I have developed on the deserted island.
Later, when I heard Momo talk about it, I realized that Momo had been by my side for a day and a night.
Since the weather has improved, we should cherish this opportunity to have a good meal, otherwise we don’t know when the weather will become very bad again, so we should cherish this good weather more.
After careful identification, we found that we had left the original island and came to another island. We are not familiar with each other at present, and our wife and Hei Zhuang are still missing. Compared to Momo and I running around, it is more important to fill our stomachs as soon as possible to find them.
Although it is a deserted island, it produces a lot of fruits, which should be related to the abundant precipitation on the island.
Without running far from the entrance of the cave, we found a lot of fruits. I put some in my coat, put them in the cave, and ate them with Momo.
When I bite a peach, the juice was so scary that I had never seen such a tender and juicy fruit before I came to the deserted island.
Unfortunately, now is not a good time to taste delicious food. For several days, we were hungry and could taste the sweetness of the fruit, and we had no time to chew it carefully, so we hurriedly swallowed the fruit into our stomachs, as if someone was trying to grab food from us.
It can be said that this is the fastest meal we have eaten.
When Momo finished eating, we didn't even have a rest. Momo and I didn't talk, but I was deeply uneasy in my heart. Now, depending on the situation, there was no one else on the island except Momo and me. If there were other people, at least some footprints or some sounds would be left.
In the past, I always felt that the unnecessary sounds scared me. Now it seems that I still hope that there will be some unnecessary sounds, at least to prove that they are still alive.
We don’t dare to think deeper. Although we have experienced all kinds of difficulties, we have never thought about who will leave due to accident one day.
No, definitely not. I think so, and I don’t want to think deeper.
In order to improve efficiency, Momo and I were still divided into two ways. Before we found it before the sunset, we would go back to the cave first, and wait until the next day to set off again. Be careful not to get lost.
I searched for the whole afternoon and had no harvest except seeing all kinds of huge and plump fruits. If I could, I really wanted to exchange these fruits for Hei Zhuang and his wife to appear in front of me.
I watched the sun disappear into the sea level little by little, and I could no longer be greedy, so I had to pick some fruits and go back along the way.
