I originally thought Wang Yi was lying to me, because after being here for so many days, not to mention a ship, not even a plane passed by in the sky.
But when I turned my gaze to the sea in the distance, I really saw a cargo ship.
When I was stunned, Wang Yi was already waving at the entrance of the cave and shouting: "Hey! Help...Help!..."
I grabbed a piece of firewood, hurried to the entrance of the cave and said to Wang Yi: "Stop shouting, they won't hear you even if you shout at the top of your lungs."
With that said, I took the firewood and ran to the top of the mountain. Then I found some wet weeds, lit them with a torch, and then smoke rose.
This is the only way to let the cargo ship on the distant sea find us.
At the same time, Wang Yi also broke off a tree branch from the side and stood next to the smoke and waved it vigorously at the cargo ship.
We are all very excited, it has been three days, three whole days!
We finally saw modern civilization. Even though it was just a cargo ship, I believed that the people on the cargo ship would be able to spot us.
We just looked forward to it, staring at the cargo ship until it drifted away...
"What, what's going on? Chen Feng, why is this boat getting further and further away?" Wang Yi became anxious.
At that moment, I was quite panicked, watching my hope disappear little by little.
But we still didn't give up. I continued to light a few more smokes to make the area wider.
Wang Yi was also shouting as hard as she could, but it still had no effect.
The cargo ship gradually disappeared.
Wang Yi was so angry that he yelled: "Damn it, what do you mean? Are you blind? You can't even see this."
I was also very embarrassed, it was impossible not to see this!
Either they saw it but didn't want to pay attention to it, or they thought it was a natural fire accident.
To be honest, it was quite depressing and there was a big gap in my heart.
Wang Yi is still scolding her. It can be seen that she is more depressed than me.
I sat frustrated for a while, then shouted to her: "Okay, let's calm down for a while, don't waste any energy."
Wang Yi came to me angrily, pointed at the sea in the distance and said, "What do they mean? There's no way you can't see this! You bastard, don't save me until you die."
"Don't say that. Maybe I didn't see it. It's so far away after all."
"It's really annoying. I finally saw the boat, but..."
I shrugged and said helplessly: "Just pretend you didn't see it and go back to the cave."
Wang Yi sighed heavily and was about to return to the cave, but she was stunned again, turned to look around and said, "What's the sound?"
I immediately became alert and looked around us hurriedly.
A "chi-chi-chi" sound came, which sounded a bit like the sound of a chicken.
I suddenly remembered the trap I had set, and the sound seemed to come from one of the traps I had set.
I didn't think any more and immediately got up and walked towards the trap in search of the sound.
Sure enough, there was a pheasant with beautiful hair at the trap.
Wang Yi also followed, and she exclaimed: "Wow! Is this a chicken?"
"pheasant."
"Why are there pheasants on this island?"
"It's normal. These species are usually found on the islands. Dinner is here..."
As I spoke, I took the pheasant off the trap and held it tightly in my hands.
Wang Yi sighed and said, "Is this a consolation prize?"
I smiled and said, "If you want to think so, that's fine."
…
Back in the cave, I started to deal with the pheasant.
Wang Yi stayed by the stone pot and stared at the Chinese herbal medicine brewing in the pot, while asking me: "Chen Feng, is this still okay?"
"Stay a little longer and watch the fire start and don't put it out."
"It won't be destroyed. It's just a pity. I finally saw a ship passing by but didn't find us. Alas!"
"Don't sigh. A ship passing by at least proves that there is a route around here. There will definitely be ships passing by."
"It's been so many days, there's no way the rescue team hasn't found it yet!"
I suddenly fell silent because I had also thought about this problem.
There are only a few islands around our country. If you look for them with peace of mind, it is impossible to find them.
This means that they may not be looking for us at all, and may even think that we have been killed.
I've thought about this more than once, otherwise there's really no reason why I haven't found this place yet.
But I can't be too pessimistic. Only with hope can I have the motivation to live.
I finally said to Wang Yi: "Why are you so anxious? There are so many islands, large and small, around here. We must search for them one by one."
"I see you are really not in a hurry."
I chuckled and said no more.
After taking care of the pheasant, I said to Wang Yi: "The fresh water we have stored is no longer enough. I will bring back some more. You just stay in the hole and watch the fire."
"Aren't you afraid of bears if you go now?"
"If you don't go now, why don't you go at night?"
"Then be careful, pay attention, and come back if you have any questions."
I took a few water bottles and set off, and also looked for other fresh water spots along the way, because that small water hole was too unsafe.
I didn't find anything along the way, so I had to come to the small water pool again. I observed it nearby for a while, and then cautiously came to the small water pool after making sure it was safe.
After quickly filling several bottles with water, I was about to get up and leave when I heard footsteps.
And I’m sure the footsteps are those of a bear!
Suddenly I turned my head and saw that a big black bear was less than ten meters behind me, looking at me eagerly.
It seems that this bear is not the same one I met that day, because this one is stronger.
His heartbeat began to accelerate instantly, and his breathing began to become rapid.
But I still didn't panic. The calmer the better at this time.
I still used the method I used that day to scare it with my voice, opening my arms and waving them bluffingly.
But it was obviously useless. The sound coming from the black bear's mouth was like a V16 engine, which made my heart and liver tremble violently and my legs unconsciously became weak.
No longer able to hesitate, I grabbed a stone by the pool and threw it towards it. At the same time, I ran up the mountain carrying a few bottles of water.
Of course I couldn't outrun this black bear, so I could only turn around and bluff it while running, while picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at it.
Seeing the black bear getting closer and closer to me, I also felt that death was getting closer and closer to me.
Although humans are the natural enemies of black bears, unarmed humans are toys of black bears.
The only way I could think of to save myself was to climb up a tree, but these trees were all straight and didn't even have a branch. I didn't have the skills to climb with my bare hands.
All we can do is run desperately and try to drive it away as much as possible.
On the way, I fell down so many times that I lost count, and I couldn't feel the pain anymore. After falling down, I got up and continued running.
When I was almost to the top of the mountain, the black bear finally caught up with me and pounced on me and threw me to the ground.
I just felt like my whole body flew out into the air, almost three meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground.
I feel pain in my ribs, and I don’t know if my ribs are broken.
But the black bear had no intention of letting me go. It didn't even give me a chance to breathe and pounced on me again.
