The heavy rain still continues, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in violent storms, which seem to sweep away all living things and return a peaceful world to the world. But in the small grotto on this desert island, at this moment, there is another world.
A scene.
The bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the cave with a red glow. The rock walls reflected heat waves, making the cave warm and comfortable. Heat steamed out from the damp ground and a large number of trees surrounding it. Smoke and heat evaporated from the top of the cave.
Detouring out, rising into the dark rain curtain.
Beside the bonfire, hot soup was boiling in several huge clam shells, and several small fish and red shrimps were tumbling inside. There were several sea fish stuck on some wooden sticks nearby, and they were being licked by the flames of the bonfire.
It's golden and has an alluring sound.
Lin Jue's long, disheveled hair was steaming with steam, and he was turning the grilled fish with concentration on his face. Gao Muqing, who was sitting next to Lin Jue, also had long hair that was loose and hanging down, reaching to his waist like a waterfall. His hair covered half of his body.
The torn clothes, half-covered and half-covered, reveal all kinds of charms.
‘Gululu’ Someone’s stomach suddenly made a sound. Under the temptation of the fragrance, the intestines obviously couldn’t withstand the temptation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so rude." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Gao Muqing's face turned red, and he reached out and hit Lin Jue. In fact, the grunting sound just now came from Gao Muqing's stomach. Lin Jue was obviously making fun of his misconduct.
"Okay, try it. This sea fish doesn't need seasoning. Sea water is the best seasoning. It should taste good." Lin Jue handed over a grilled fish with golden color on both sides. Gao Muqing, who was already looking forward to seeing it, hurriedly thanked him.
I took it and gently opened the surface with a bamboo skewer. Suddenly the white and tender meat was exposed, and the fragrance became stronger.
"Eat it while it's hot, and finish the fish soup with one shell per person." Lin Jue smiled, raised his fish to his mouth, and took a big bite. The type of fish is unknown, but it is tender, delicious and extremely delicious.
.The delicious meal after escaping from death is simply comparable to the best delicacies in the world. The hot fish meat turns into waves of energy and spirit entering the body, making people feel so comfortable and physically comfortable that they even forget about it.
of the predicament at hand.
"This is the best fish I have ever eaten in my life." Gao Muqing praised.
Lin Jue smiled silently and ate the fish with big mouthfuls. He had no time to comment on the deliciousness of the fish. He just wanted to swallow the fish into his stomach as quickly as possible so that his hungry and tired body could quickly recover his energy.
A big fish for each person soon turned into a pile of fish bones. Soon the rich fish and shrimp soup boiled with two shells was eaten. The two of them actually ate until the tips of their noses were sweating, which was extremely comfortable.
"Are you full? Is that enough?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.
Gao Muqing nodded with a red face: "I'm full, it's really delicious. I actually ate a whole big fish and drank so much soup. If this continues, I will get fat."
Lin Jue rolled his eyes, stretched and said: "The banana leaves over there are dried and very soft to sleep on. We almost died today. We have to go to bed early tonight to recover our strength. Go to sleep.
.”
Gao Muqing said: "You...what about you? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lin Jue said: "I will take care of the fire, and I will pick up some firewood for baking later, otherwise this firewood will be extinguished tomorrow morning."
"I'll accompany you," Gao Muqing said. "No, it won't be good if both of us get wet. Besides, we don't need two people to do this kind of work. I can do it by myself," Lin Jue said.
Gao Muqing said: "Then...thank you for your hard work."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Why are you so polite? It was me who brought you to this point. I should apologize to you."
Gao Muqing pretended to be angry and said, "Are you still saying such things? I don't like to hear it."
Lin Jue laughed, got up, packed up the fish bones and shells, and threw them outside the cave. Looking at the dark rain outside, he stretched out his hand and put a coir raincoat made of folded banana leaves over his head and walked out of the cave, taking advantage of the faint light of the sky.
Guang gathered a large bundle of wet firewood near the entrance of the cave and returned, placing them one by one on the side of the campfire for baking. Then he went out of the cave and stood in the rain, washing his long hair and body under the heavy rain. He came back to the cave, already trembling.
Like fallen leaves in the wind.
Lin Jue hurriedly added some firewood and huddled beside the campfire to bake. His hair was steaming like a god flying in the clouds and mist.
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, and the sound of surging waves could be heard faintly. Lin Jue rested his head on his knees and stared at the dark cave, lost in thought. Although he escaped from the sea, Lin Jue's mood was not much better. Because he knew that he was trapped in the cave.
This small island is not a temporary solution, nor is it out of danger. In fact, the current situation cannot be called an escape. The lives of myself and Gao Muqing are still at stake. Not only my two lives, but also the failure of today's matter
It would bring extremely serious and disastrous consequences, which Lin Jue could not even imagine.
A warm robe was draped on Lin Jue's back. Lin Jue turned around and saw Gao Muqing slowly sitting down next to him. His eyes were looking at him quietly.
"Why didn't you go to bed? I saw you lying down just now."
"I can't sleep, and you must not be able to sleep either. Lin Jue, are we trapped here and can't go back? Are you worried about this?" Gao Muqing asked softly.
"Don't worry, I will find a way. There is always a way. We have survived today's situation, so what are we afraid of?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
Gao Muqing slowly shook his head and said: "Don't comfort me. I understand. We can't go back. We have no ships in the vast sea and we don't know where we are. We will be trapped here for the rest of our lives. Alas!"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's not as pessimistic as you said."
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue and said: "I understand, once a hurricane comes, there will be ten days of wind and rain, and we will never be able to go back. Even if we can survive these ten days here drinking rainwater, eating fish and shrimp, what will happen after the hurricane?
There is no water on such an island, and we will die of thirst and starvation. Moreover, I think the pirates will definitely come to search, and they will find us, and we will have nowhere to escape. So, we are actually dead.
.”
Lin Jue frowned and stared at the dancing candlelight without saying a word. Gao Muqing was right, she was not stupid, she saw the current situation clearly. The current safety was only temporary, and the real crisis was yet to come. They might not be able to leave this place alive.
small island.
"Lin Jue, when the hurricane hit today, I thought I was going to die in the sea. I felt so regretful at that time." Gao Muqing whispered.
"What do you regret? Do you regret agreeing to take this risk with me? This is all my fault. Hey, it was my fault of overestimating my capabilities." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What are you thinking about? I don't regret this. I regret... regret that I couldn't express my feelings to you... on Guishan Island. Although you and I were falsely married, in my heart, this life has already
I will never marry anyone else except you. I know you may not like a woman like me. What you like is a woman like Miss Fang, but I am not like that. But, I, Gao Muqing, am like this
Man, there is nothing I can do. I thought I would never see you again, but I couldn’t let you go, so I came to Hangzhou to protect you. I couldn’t let you get hurt. But I didn’t have the courage to tell you
Tell me your true feelings, I know you don't like me, so I can only bury it all in my heart."
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing blankly. He had already felt it, but he felt that Gao Muqing was not the kind of woman who could afford it but couldn't let it go. He also had a lot of entanglements in emotional matters, so he didn't dare to provoke her. But
Listening to her talk now, I am deeply moved.
"When I narrowly escaped death in the sea today, I thought that if I could survive today, I would definitely confess my feelings to you. No matter what you think, I don't want to leave any regrets in this life. Even if I leave forever, I still want to
Tell me clearly what is going on between you and me. Now that we are trapped here, you and I actually understand in our hearts that we can’t get out and survive. What else do I have to worry about at this time? I don’t want to let myself die.
I still have regrets before, so I want to tell you these words. Before I die, I... have a request." Gao Muqing whispered.
Lin Jue looked at her with a smile and said: "Mu Qing, you treat me like this. It's just a request, it's ten or a hundred. But if I can do it, I will definitely agree."
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with blurry eyes for a long time, then smiled and said: "If you can't do it, don't force it. I don't want to embarrass you. I just...just want to ask you. That day in the village, you and I went to the wedding hall to get married.
At that time, did you...like me even a little bit in your heart? I know it was a show, but I... took it seriously, did you take it seriously at all?"
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing silently. He didn't know how to answer her question. The original marriage proposal was just a ruse, but Lin Jue had no other ideas. But speaking this answer would obviously make Gao Muqing sad.
Gao Muqing nodded slightly and said, "I understand, you don't need to answer."
"Mu Qing, I..."
"You don't need to say more, I understand. I think I, Gao Muqing, is just the daughter of a bandit leader among the people. Although I have no choice in this identity, after all... it is not tolerated by the world. You went to the village for a purpose in the first place, how could you have done it?
What kind of personal relationship? Besides... Besides, you already have someone in your heart, I am just wishful thinking. Alas! I don’t know how I could be like this, why I can’t forget you after we got married. Maybe it’s because I am lonely and have no father.
After that, I really want to have a relative by my side." Gao Muqing raised his head and murmured to himself.
Lin Jue said softly: "Mu Qing, when I was in the village, I really had nothing but thoughts, and the situation at that time did not allow it. Getting married to you would also damage your reputation, and I felt very uneasy. But now
It's different now. Now you and I have gone through hardships together. You have done so much for me. I am grateful and admired in my heart. My feelings for you are no longer the same as before. Unfortunately, I am afraid that we will all die here. If we can escape this disaster,
I hope I can make it up to you well."
Gao Muqing's eyes were bright, and he looked at Lin Jue and said, "You mean, you have fallen in love with me now, right?"
