Chapter Forty-Six: Rescue Team?
I had a bad feeling in my heart, and I carefully took the dagger and walked over to the piles of stones that we had piled up that day.
When I saw it, the panic in my heart became even greater.
The stones were piled up by the five of us for days, and I don't remember being mistaken.
What I can't accept the most is, how can it be gone overnight?
"Sihai, come over for dinner!"
Wang Xiaoxiao stood halfway up the mountain and shouted at me, I was cold, and I turned my head stiffly to look at her.
It took a long time to come back to my senses and walk back to the cave quickly.
"Hurry up and eat, I'm done, I'm going to pick up branches today." ”
Xiao Qiang said as he took a bowl of seafood soup and handed it to me.
Liu Jiaojiao cut the bear meat and handed it to me with a smile.
I looked at the women in front of me, and the worry in my heart began to magnify infinitely.
"The pile of stones we piled up on the beach for help is gone. ”
I took the meat and looked at them, trying to tell them what I had found as quietly as I could.
Wang Xiaoxiao continued to serve the soup for a while, and turned her head to look at me.
"What do you say? How is that possible? Who would move so many stones? And even if they were moved, what would they be used for?"
At this moment, Xu Wei had already stood up and ran towards the door of the cave.
Liu Jiaojiao followed closely behind, and the two of them stood in front of the cave and suddenly let out a frightened and short exclamation.
"It's really gone...... But how is that possible? Yesterday, it was there?"
My throat was dry, and I put the bowl down, and my heart was also beating.
"I saw a figure last night, do you remember?"
Several people listened to my words and nodded stiffly.
"I suspect now that there are other people on this island besides us, who are watching us. ”
Liu Jiaojiao was already frightened with red eyes, dragging Xu Wei with a miserable face.
Wang Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "Then what should we do?Do you want to go to Bai Wei? After all, they are outnumbered......
Xiao Qiang shook her head: "Bai Wei and their soft eggs don't use it at all, not to mention that we just had a fight the day before yesterday, do you think even if they find them, they will agree to be with us?"
There was silence in the cave, and no one knew what to do next.
The boat was only halfway done, and the surrounding environment was not clarified, and we and Bai Wei had already collapsed again.
Now, in addition to going out to find food and fruits every day, we also have to worry about Bai Wei and them waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and we must be wary of the thing hiding behind us and not knowing what it is.
We didn't dare to go down the mountain all day.
I didn't know what was hiding deep in the woods, and I didn't dare risk it with a few women.
I simply ate something and stayed in the cave.
The sun was setting, and the wind was howling through the hole.
Several women shrank in one place, all with solemnity on their faces.
"You go to sleep, don't worry too much, those things hiding in the dark haven't come out, maybe there is some taboo, I'll keep vigil by myself, you guys rest early, can't all be dragged down." ”
Several women were silent, but no one slept.
We sat quietly in the cave, listening to the howling of ghosts and wolves outside.
I didn't get much sleep all night, and the next day I wasn't in good spirits.
Xiao Qiang took me a cup of mountain spring water with a noodle cup and sat next to me and looked at me.
"Actually, when I was on this desert island, I felt that we couldn't survive, but who knew that you not only survived with us, but now you are living so richly, human lives are determined, if those things hiding behind us really want to kill us this time, then I don't think it's okay to die with you. ”
Xiao Qiang has become very emotional during this time, and I never expected her to say such a thing.
Wang Xiaoxiao, the three of them listened to Xiao Qiang's words, and they also came to my side and nodded one by one.
"Yes, I also think that if we can really die with Brother Sihai, it will not be a loss, not to mention that we are not in any danger now? I think we should cheer up, it is important to build a ship first, in case those things have not had time to attack us, we have already run away?"
I was amused by Xu Wei's words.
I suddenly thought about it.
yes, it's already bad anyway, and if you suffer it again, you'll just die.
Anyway, now that we're still alive, we can't hide in a cave every day.
If there are really savages here, there are cannibals who will desperately see the big deal.
Seeing me laughing, several women also laughed, and the cave, which had been silent all night, became popular again.
"Well, in that case, let's cheer up and get the ship ready as soon as possible. ”
After eating, we went down the mountain again, to the grove where the wood was hidden, and dragged it out.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang were making wedges on the side, and took Liu Jiaojiao to the beach to keep picking up branches of the same length.
I began to use the dagger to remove the big piece of wood bit by bit.
The wood should be hollowed out, then nailed side by side with a wedge, and then fixed securely before going to sea.
The only thing we are thankful for here is that there is no shortage of wood, and you can make any big raft, but the difficulty is that there are too few tools, so the progress is very slow.
All morning, I hollowed out another large tree.
Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao's progress was also very fast, and more than two dozen pointed wedges were neatly placed on the beach.
The sun was about to set, and the food in our stomachs had long been digested, so we hid the hollowed out wood again, and turned around to go back to the cave to eat something and rest early.
Xu Wei insisted on picking up some crabs from the cracks in the stones and fried them in bear oil at night.
Her suggestion drew a lot of saliva from several people, and we immediately started catching crabs on the beach.
I have rough skin and thick meat, I am not afraid of being trapped, and I catch it the fastest, Xiao Qiang will look like a big lady again, and when I catch two, I shout that my hands hurt, and I run to the side to hide from it.
Xu Wei was very interested and happy.
was catching it happily, Xiao Qiang, who was sitting on the stone, suddenly sighed and ran quickly towards the beach.
"Sihai, look, is that a boat?"
Xiao Qiang's voice was full of surprise and uncertainty, probably too excited, and her voice trembled a little.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei also stopped their movements suddenly, stood up straight, and looked in the direction Xiao Qiang pointed.
I squinted my eyes and looked into the sea, and sure enough, I saw a white shadow floating in the sea with the waves......
