"Look, there are heavy clouds ahead. The island must be there. We have to get the raft back." Chang Shan pointed to the front, which was probably the sea to the east. The sky there was still gray.
"Come on, let's swim over and have a look." Mr. Mai greeted, and all of us followed him and swam in the direction of the dark clouds.
After swimming for about half an hour, the strange island appeared not far in front of us. It seemed that the underwater cave under the waterfall directly sent us to the vicinity of the island and did not throw us too far.
"Look, it's really that ghost island." The big man shouted excitedly.
"I knew that only that ghost island would be covered with dark clouds." Chang Shan stopped and said with a satisfied smile.
"It will be easy once we find the island. Work harder. After we find the raft, we have to leave here as soon as possible." Mai Lao speeded up the procession again.
The rest of us also swam in the direction of the island with all our strength. The waves at this time were not big and relatively soft. We followed the waves and swam back to the shore of the island.
After we climbed back onto the island, we discovered that it was much darker than it looked in the distance, just like at night. It seems that no matter what time of day, it is difficult to see the sun on this island, unless it is
Once those curses disappear, the island can see the light of day again.
The sky outside is bright and sunny, but here it is extremely dark, forming the most striking contrast. Once you land on this island, you can't even see the sunlight in the distance, as if you are completely isolated.
Everything on the shore of the island has not changed. The fire we built before is still there, except for the remains of some blackened branches.
Those scary red monsters no longer appeared on the shore of the island. Everything seemed so calm, as if none of the horrors I had experienced had ever happened. Only the remains of the fire proved once again.
Everything that happened before was real and it was not a nightmare.
After everyone landed on the island, we all ran quickly towards the raft. The raft was still parked in the original position. This was our only hope to leave here. We untied the raft and several people lifted the raft directly from the shore.
It was pushed onto the rocks beside it and pushed into the sea.
Then I quickly climbed onto the raft, but I did not get on the boat immediately. Instead, I stood on the shore and looked at this lonely island.
"I don't know when this place will see the light of day again and return to the way it was before." I looked up at the sky and said.
"Yes, this place was originally a paradise on earth, but I didn't expect it to turn into this. It's such a pity." Jenny suddenly walked up to me and looked at the island in front of her.
"I hope that everyone buried here can rest in peace. I also hope that those souls with curses and curses can be freed as soon as possible. If they should be reincarnated, let them be reincarnated."
This is the truest thought in my heart. Whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they have been dead for so many years. It is time to end the grievances and resentments. There is no need to continue to entangle them.
"Well, I hope they can all rest in peace, and may God be with them, Amen." Jenny made a cross on her chest, then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, silently praying for these dead people. This is having faith.
People like me, unlike me, don’t have anything like Xinyang.
"Zhongyi, Jenny, you two, stop looking at me. Is it possible that you two are reluctant to leave here?" Mr. Mai shouted to us on the raft.
I turned to look at Jenny and said, "We should go."
She nodded, and the two of us ran quickly into the sea, and soon climbed onto the raft. The big man and the others were rowing hard. We were riding against the waves, drifting farther and farther away, and the small island was also
Little by little it disappeared from my eyes.
I stood behind the raft and took one last look at this resentful island. It’s not that I couldn’t bear to leave this place, but it left me with such a deep memory that I will never forget it in my life.
go through.
This is an eternal memory in my life. It is lingering. It has a painful side and a warm side. This departure will be a farewell. I will never come here again. Let this island
, buried forever in my memory.
Just when I was looking at the island, I suddenly saw that wizened old man standing on the shore waving to me. Isn't he already dead? Is it my imagination? Or is this?
Where is his soul?
I don't know, but it doesn't matter to me anymore. I stretched out my hand and waved to him with a smile. This was the last farewell, no goodbye.
"Brother Yi, who are you waving to?" Shunzi asked me from the side.
I turned to look at him and said, "That wizened old man."
"Ah? Where is the old man? Isn't he dead?" He quickly looked in the direction of the island.
But when I turned around, the old man had disappeared. "No, are you kidding me?" Shunzi said with a smile.
I nodded and smiled, "It's just a joke. How can a person be resurrected after death?"...
The influence of the island disappeared from my eyes, and we were completely far away from this evil island full of resentment. We were clinging to the raft, drifting on this vast sea, with no destination or end, we could only follow the waves.
And the sea breeze, drift wherever it goes.
Once we encounter a ship and land, we will be rescued. Otherwise, in this endless wandering, once the supplies on the raft run out, death will be waiting for us.
There are only some baby fruits prepared before, which are the ungrown ginseng fruits on the raft. Other than that, there is nothing else. Once all these things are drunk, they can only rely on rainwater to survive.
I could only rely on fish from the sea, and I could only eat them raw. This was the only way to survive. I was prepared for the worst, and left it to fate whether I would live or die.
"We finally left. I don't know how long we stayed on the island. It felt like a long time." Jenny sat on the raft and said calmly.
"Yeah, I just remembered when you said it, how long have we been on this island? I'm confused." The big man said while paddling.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. I escaped in a daze. How can I still remember these things?"
Jiao Ba leaned on the raft and said lazily, "Actually...we have only been on this island for the seventh day counting today."
"Ah? Seven days? Is it so short? You remember correctly, right?" Jenny asked in surprise.
"I feel the same, it will take at least a month." Shunzi sat on the bow of the boat, soaking her feet in the sea, looking like she was enjoying it.
