Chapter 6: The Swamp

Heavy rain poured down, the rain became heavier and heavier, the sky was covered with dark clouds, black clouds pressed the sea, and the sea water and the sky were connected together, gloomy and depressing.

But at this time, I couldn't take care of it too much, and while I was in tears, I held the rain and poured it into my mouth.

Even though I know that the rain is not very clean, the successive hunger and thirst make me only act on instinct.

At this moment, we are like seedlings that are about to die, greedily absorbing the rain from the sky, and we can't bear to let go of the slightest.

The wind was blowing, and the lightning was thundering.

Thunderbolts flickered in the sky, like sharp swords, about to tear the sky to pieces.

Nature is a manifestation of its power and the gift of life.

After a long time, the rain finally subsided.

I turned my back to the sky, my belly began to swell, and my throat, which was extremely dry, was finally relieved a lot, and the labor pain was relieved.

I looked around, Lin Ke'er was lying on the ground, exhausted, full of happiness, tears and rain intertwined, blurred.

"Brother Yang, we are saved, right?"

"Hmmm......"

I nodded, my eyes red and my voice hoarse.

The spirit that has been suppressed these days has finally relaxed under this torrential rain.

"That's great!"

Lin Ke'er nodded, and there seemed to be stars burning in her clear pupils, bright and bright.

And at this moment, Fang Ran, who had been sitting on the ground calmly, also stood up.

With long wet hair and a shawl, he has an excellent temperament, and his dark pupils do not make the slightest waves.

"We're weak now, it's best to find a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we catch a cold!"

"Why should I listen to you? You say you're going to catch a cold?"

Zhang Jiayi sat on the ground, dismissive.

Fang Ran also lost his patience, his voice was cold, and his pupils were cold.

"If you want to take shelter from the rain or not, don't blame me if you get sick and can't find food after a while. ”

As he spoke, he walked directly to the depths of the jungle with Lin Ke'er.

And I got up from the ground and followed behind, following in unison.

We reached the forest, found a huge rock, and took shelter under the rock to hide from the wind and rain.

The reason why I didn't stand under the big trees that can be seen everywhere is because I am afraid that the thunder and fire will split the big trees.

After a while, Zhang Jiayi may have felt the coldness, and she came over silently, sat next to me, and looked at me deeply, full of deep meaning......

Night fell quickly.

Storms on a desert island come and go as fast as they come.

In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds cleared and the night sky was like a wash.

A few of us lay under the rocks, and we were no longer as thirsty as we used to be, having drunk enough rainwater.

But at this moment, my heart is still full of gloom.

Although this rainstorm has alleviated our urgent needs, the contradiction still exists and has not been resolved.

It can't rain forever on the island, and if we don't find fresh water in the near future, we're afraid we'll die of thirst on the island.

I lay beneath the rocks, confused and stared, thinking about the direction of the future.

At this time, Zhang Jiayi was the first to speak.

"I'm thirsty and hungry now, Li Xin, tomorrow you and Yang Zhi will go to find fresh water, and Lin Ke'er and I will go find food. ”

Hearing Zhang Jiayi's commanding tone, I felt irritable in my heart.

"Zhang Jiayi, you know that it is more difficult to find fresh water, why did you let me and Fang Ran go to find it, why didn't you go?"

"Aren't you two going to be leaders? Since you want to be leaders, you naturally have to take the lead!"

Zhang Jiayi didn't think twice.

"You ......"

I was anxious and angry, and was about to refute, when Fang Ran next to me patted me on the shoulder.

"Okay, the overall situation is important, we promise to find fresh water!"

Hearing Fang Ran's words, Zhang Jiayi snorted coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

I woke up early, just as the first rays of light had just fallen in the sky.

Fang Ran's hair was wet, he had just washed his face, and he was carrying two buckets of water in his hands, calling me to go to the forest to find fresh water.

The buckets were rescued from the wreckage of the plane, not plastic, but made of stainless steel.

The two of us each had a bucket, and I was responsible for leading the way in front, and Fang Ran followed behind.

The forest is dense and vines are intertwined.

All sorts of vines spread on the ground, some with spikes, which could tear your clothes apart and leave scars if you were not careful.

With a twig in my hand, I carefully picked the vine in search of the best path.

The other day, we had already searched the neighborhood.

Know that there will never be a water outage in this vicinity.

I made up my mind to continue walking deeper into the forest and searching.

An hour later, just as I was exhausted and my mouth was dry, there was a gurgling sound of water.

The sound of water was so crisp and pleasant that it echoed in my ears, and I could hardly believe what I was hearing, and I thought it was all an illusion.

found that Fang Ran, who had been extremely calm next to him, also flashed a bit of strange brilliance in his pupils.

Excited, excited, revealing a strong color of anticipation.

With the fresh water beside me, I couldn't care so much, so I grabbed the stick and rushed forward.

Peel aside the leaves, peel aside the vines.

Finally, a stream appeared in front of my eyes.

The creek was clear and clean, not too big, and flowed slowly from the depths of the jungle like a ribbon.

I didn't care so much, so I squatted down, scooped a handful of water, and poured it into my mouth.

Clear, sweet, and a hint of coolness.

Freshwater, really freshwater!

I was so excited that my voice became hoarse, and the gloom of the days was gone.

These days, the matter of fresh water has been suppressed in our hearts, and if we can't find fresh water, we can't find a way to live.

Now, although the desert island is still full of dangers, we have at least found a bright route.

I squatted on the ground, gulping down the stream water, and Fang Ran also sat down, moving the same as me, with a bright smile blooming on my cold face, enjoying the light of life to the fullest.

After a long time, we finally had our fill, picked up the bucket in our hands, fetched a bucket of water for each of us, marked the neighborhood, and prepared to return.

I still walked in front, holding a bucket in one hand and a stick in the other hand to open the way, walking very quickly.

However, when I stepped on a rotting leaf, I felt a softness under my feet, and my whole body sank under the fallen leaves.

The sinking was rapid, and in the blink of an eye, it buried my knees, and as I struggled, it didn't go to my waist.

I was terrified, and a terrible word came to my mind.

Swamp!

The forest is full of swamps, and once the beast steps into it, it sinks into the swamp, and the more it struggles, the more it sinks.

Am I going to die here today?
