"The walkie-talkie in my bag... was seized from the killers who broke into the house that day. It is not the same channel as the walkie-talkie on the ship. We can't make contact." Yang Tao took out the walkie-talkie he brought back from Hanxue Spring.
The walkie-talkie made a squeaky noise when the button was pressed, "Besides, as you can see, this thing is sometimes good and bad, and it can't be used at all."
"Damn!" Xin Xiaoxin cursed depressedly, "Why didn't you bring the ship's walkie-talkie down with you?"
"Forget it," I said calmly, "I didn't tell you when I landed on the island. I only stayed here for less than half a day, and no one thought about taking it with me." As I said this, I thought to myself that the logistics minister had never thought that he would still be here now.
Come to complain, no wonder everyone says he is unreliable...
Suddenly I remembered something, and I asked, "Where are we kayaking on the island?" and ran to the place where we tied the boat, only to find that the rope was broken, and the kayak had long since drifted away along the current.
All contact has been severed. If there is no boat, we may have to sit here and wait for the fishing boats that occasionally pass by.
I looked at the broken ends of the rope. They were very neat. It was obviously cut by someone with a sharp weapon. I turned to Mingying and said, "Who is Dong Hao? Is he reliable?"
To be honest, because Dong Hao drove a yacht to help out, and other people trusted him so much, I never doubted this guy. In this situation, I really can’t say how much I can still trust him.
Yang Tao shook his head and said: "Dong Hao's father is the veteran of the organization, and he himself is the senior associate of the organization. There will be no problems."
I murmured: "Is it possible that he ran away because we used his yacht too much today and couldn't bear the pain?" After saying this, even I didn't believe it myself. If that was the case, what would happen to this person?
Who cut the broken rope?
Xin Xiaoxin laughed and said: "Professor Lin, even if you burn 10 of his yachts, you will not cause him to go bankrupt. Do you know who his father is? His father is..."
"Xin Kong!" Mingying shouted softly, "You're here again."
Xin Xiaoxin knew that when he encountered something he knew, he felt that it was his old habit that he couldn't stop talking when Niu Boyi was coaxing him. When he heard Mingying's reproach, he just stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Voice.
Yang Tao looked at the sky and saw that it was already very late. He said to Mingying, "How about we set up camp here and wait for them to come back?"
Indeed, this was a helpless solution. Mingying had no choice but to nod. Xin Xiaoxin muttered that it would be better to live in that row of barracks. There were too many wild animals on the island and camping was unsafe. Yang Tao simply said that if that was the case, tomorrow
The ship couldn't find us when it came, so it would be better to stay at the landing place. I believe they won't leave too far. Xin Xiaoxin thought about it and said nothing.
Xin Xiaoxin and Mingying dragged Jiang Nan and Zhao Chen to a remote place respectively, washed the exposed parts of their bodies with sea water, each took off their own coats, and changed them for them. The dirty clothes were thrown into the water, washed and hung to dry.
On the rocks. As for the mud-stained pants, there was no choice but to let it go. Finally, they wiped their faces with drinking water to prevent their faces from being smeared with sea water and the salt left after evaporation would damage their skin.
It was extremely painful. However, no fresh water was used to wash the parts other than the face - although everyone still had water in their kettles, it really couldn't be wasted on bathing. After all, there is no fresh water on the island, so we must
Save your drink.
After feeding them both some water, I asked Xin Xiaoxin how much food he had left.
He put all the food together and counted it, and said that not counting the two of them, it would be enough for one meal tonight at most, but not tomorrow morning.
I brought all this food to meet Zhao Chen's request for a picnic. If I really followed the principle of traveling light and simple, I'm afraid I wouldn't have brought any of it.
I looked at Yang Tao and said that it seems we have to find some way to find some food tonight and store some food. In case they don't come back tomorrow... it's better to be prepared.
Li Qianyu, who was sitting over there looking blankly at the sea, burst into tears again after hearing what I said.
I laughed and said don't cry, don't waste your body's water.
With that said, Yang Tao and I returned to the jungle and found some dry branches. I also picked a bunch of wild vegetables and washed them in the sea water. The coast we are on is not big. It should be that the mountain of Jinshan is covered by the sea water.
After being partially submerged, a small beach was formed by erosion at the junction of water and land.
There are tall rocks and jagged rocks surrounding the beach. We dug a hole in the dry sand behind a large rock. Yang Tao lit the branches with a lighter and started a bonfire.
We took out all the food, and Li Qianyu kept crying while eating, which made Mingying very annoyed. I smiled and said: "Xiaoyu, we have guns, animals, the sea, and lighters, but are we afraid of not having anything to eat? Dong
Hao and the others may come back to pick us up at any time. Even if they don't come to pick us up, there are fishing boats passing by often. Maybe a group of curious tourists will come to the island tomorrow, and we will take the boat back. We won't end up like Robinson Crusoe.
So hard, drifting for several years. What are you afraid of?"
After listening to my lie, she finally burst into laughter, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, opened the can of luncheon meat and started eating. The expressions on other people's faces also seemed to be more relaxed. But I knew that we couldn't wait.
People come to rescue, especially people who come to this island for tourism. Because there are six corpses on this island, if they are discovered, we will not be able to escape the murderous relationship.
However, when you are isolated and helpless, confidence is the most important. As long as you have confidence, there is always hope of solving the difficulties. If you lose confidence and become a mess, you are completely doomed.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, I took out the washed wild vegetables and without saying hello to others, I grabbed a handful and chewed them. Xin Xiaoxin asked me what they were? I said wild vegetables, add some vitamins and fiber, so as not to lose nutrients.
Unbalanced. Yang Tao said that in this case I should give him some, so I grabbed a handful and gave it to him. It didn’t matter, others also asked me for it. I had no choice but to divide the handful into several portions and give them to him.
Everyone.
Xin Xiaoxin picked it up and put it in his mouth. He screamed that it was bitter and sour, and asked me what it was. I said it was water chestnut and goat's foot. These things grow very fast, and they grow when they are cut. In the past, when there was nothing to eat, this
They are all life-saving things. When he heard what I said, he pinched his nose and ate the wild vegetables, stuck out his tongue and said: "I hope the boat will come back soon to pick us up, otherwise if I eat like this, I will suffer from pantothenic acidosis tomorrow."
.”
I glanced at him and said: "Even if someone comes to pick us up, I still have to stop on this island. I feel that there are still some clues that I have not yet investigated."
Xin Xiaoxin stuck out his tongue and said: "Well, if you haven't found out, you can check it out yourself. I don't dare to stay any longer. Even the tigers have come out. If you stay here any longer, you will die."
No one answered, and there was silence for a while. Everyone was preoccupied.
After dinner, I collected the remaining drinking water. It should not be a problem to last until tomorrow morning. However, our food is only biscuits and does not contain salt, so everyone will have no energy.
Li Qianyu said, isn't the sea water salty? Just drink sea water.
I say you should never drink sea water, as it will destroy the electrolyte balance in your body.
Yang Tao took out a military dagger from his bag and said that I would chop some bamboo and burn some sea salt and give it to everyone. I said that's fine. I could also find some long bamboo poles and hold up the tablecloth to set up a tent.
.
Yang Tao nodded in agreement, carrying the four remaining bullets and the two stored in the rifle, and walked into the deep forest.
I asked Mingying to wash the tablecloth, then walked aside, sat on a rock, and listened to the waves quietly. I took apart the rope used to rescue people in the afternoon, picked out three strands, and put it in the palm of my hand.
Rubbing it in sections.
Li Qianyu came over quietly, sat behind me on the left side, and asked, "Brother Lin You, what are you doing?"
I rubbed the rope and said I was rubbing the rope.
Li Qianyu didn't notice the impatience in my words, and continued to ask: "Are you able to be so calm no matter what situation you encounter?"
I looked back at her and said with a smile, "No."
She curiously asked me when I would lose my cool.
I said that if something happened to Xiao Luqi, I might not be so calm anymore.
She curiously asked me who Xiao Luqi was and was she my girlfriend?
I wanted to say no, but I was afraid that the little girl would continue to ask, so I nodded.
She was silent. I continued to rub the rope. Seeing that she was twisting Nini and not speaking, I asked, "Are you Dong Hao's assistant? How long have you been with him?"
Li Qianyu's eyes dimmed and he said, "It's been two years."
"Dong Hao is not your boyfriend?"
"No. He has a boyfriend."
I was stunned for a moment before I realized what this meant. Then I asked, "What kind of person is Dong Hao?"
"Although he is... a young man, I always feel that he lacks the recognition of others and always wants to refute others, stand out and let his elders notice him... Forget it, let's not talk about this, Brother Lin You
, didn’t you lie to me just now? I’m worried that we are all trapped here and can’t go back.”
I smiled and said, "What's so scary? The seaside here is full of oysters. I like to eat them. I'm not afraid of not having enough this time. Nature has given us enough to survive. As long as we move here, we will be able to eat them."
There must be a way." As I said that, I pointed to my head,
Li Qianyu suddenly muttered: "Brother Lin You, why do you like eating oysters?"
I said this food is fresh and delicious. Who doesn’t like it?
She lowered her head, said something softly, then stood up and walked away quickly, leaving me alone in a daze.
She said: "I thought it was because eating oysters is an aphrodisiac."
I'm covered in cold sweat. What is the little girl thinking in her head now?
By the time I finished rolling a 6-7 meter long line, Yang Tao happened to be back. He split a thick moso bamboo horizontally from the bamboo joints into a bamboo tube, filled it with seawater, and set it on the fire to burn.
.When the water is boiled dry, the sea salt will be left at the bottom of the tube.
Li Qianyu and Mingying, each serving the other, made some saved biscuits into paste and fed them to Jiang Nan and Zhao Chen. They also fed them some water. They remained unconscious like this, and their breathing was very weak. But as long as
If there is no fever, it is considered an ideal situation.
Yang Tao also brought back some tough and slender bamboo poles. He took out two of them and stuck them firmly against the big stone next to the fire. Then he put the still wet tablecloth that had just been washed on them and tied the ends of the bamboo poles.
The ends of the rope and tablecloth were buried in the sand and weighed down with stones, thus forming a simple tent. Jiang Nan and Zhao Chen were stuffed in. Since they were sick, they still had to enjoy some high-end treatment.
Without saying a word, I pulled off a section of the metal buckle from my backpack, returned to the reef where I had just rubbed the thread, and started grinding it vigorously.
