10. The island is a bit mysterious
We began to try to adapt to life on the island, trying not to know the time of day, not knowing the date, trying to go to bed hungry, trying not to take a bath or brush our teeth, and even began to gradually numb to the difference between men and women, it seems that in a short period of time we have signs of degradation to primitive life, I think all this should be because of the lack of living materials, the little girl's name is Shen Yao, in addition to looking forward to being rescued every day, that is, expecting me to get more food, I told her that my name is Yan Yi, and she calls me Uncle Yi.
In the blink of an eye, about a week, I began to comfort her with all my possibilities, but after this time, I really didn't have the extra energy to think about these things, and I didn't bother to make it up, because I had to spend more time thinking about how to live. In order to let her pass the time and not think about it, we set up a thatched hut on the beach where we landed, and it seemed like a simple tree branch and rattan, but it really took a lot of effort.
Fortunately, she found a cave in the woods more than 100 meters from the coast, one meter high from the ground, the entrance of the cave is about half a meter high, but it is very deep, the depth of the cave gradually narrows, and there will be a dry and hot wind, it is a good place to hide from the sea breeze, at night we will curl up in this rock crevice that is more than two meters wide and half a meter high, in order to lie comfortably I transported a lot of fine sand from the beach with clothes, the heat from the rock crevice bakes the sand dry, and fills the bumps of the stone with sand, and it is quite comfortable to lie on it.
"Why are those people so slow? Why can't they find us?" she asked more and more questions like this lately, and I was a little impatient to say the same thing, so I simply didn't answer her questions, I was more worried that the shrimp at the mouth of the creek were already difficult to find, and I had to find other food.
I let her watch the wind on the shore during the day, she hid in a grass hut or bush when the sun was hot, and she stayed on the shore all day after that, and let her do things often to calm her down. I told her to light the hay and leaves I had prepared as soon as I saw a plane in the sky or a ship passing by on the sea, and I found some black carbonaceous saltpeter from the crevices in the rocks, which could easily ignite the velvet grass by hitting and rubbing them, and burning the leaves of the shrimp and some debris could raise a column of smoke, which might be seen by passing ships.
Thankfully, there are a lot of these substances on the island, so it has become easier to make a fire, and it is hard to imagine that we would be able to survive without it.
The waiting time began to become boring and long, I think it was about a month, and gradually I began to feel uneasy, maybe we were all sentenced to death, and there will be no search and rescue team to save us? Shen Yao is an extremely sensitive and intelligent child, he saw my changes, even if he didn't ask her, he could guess that I had been shaken, and her mentality should have changed, but the bigger change was the outside.
The sea breeze blew her skin cracked, not the original little girl with fine skin and tender flesh, the sun on the island tanned her again, her original white and tender skin was sunburned layer after layer, and it looked like her weak body became thinner and thinner, and she got rid of a thin monkey, thinking that she was still the age of growing her body, and it stands to reason that a girl of this age should already have menstruation, but at the moment I am afraid that her skinny appearance, the menstrual affair is definitely gone, I am afraid that the physical development will also stagnate, and I am afraid that this girl will be ruined after a long time, every time I see her standing on the beach and looking at the sea level, it makes me doubly urgent, but my own nerves are also on the verge of collapseIt's really a bit of a problem to deal with the current situation, only mutual dependence is our only means of resisting the collapse at the moment, even if there is a lack of food, but at least we still retain our human thinking and reason.
The boring wait forced me to explore further afield on the island, and recently there were some new discoveries, the island beneath my feet was much larger than I had imagined, and more discoveries made me realize that the place where we had come ashore was just a remote and narrow horn on the island, and as I approached the depths of the island, I began to find some traces of human beings and some strange sounds, which were supposed to be the sounds of some small animals, these discoveries made me a little excited, but at the same time I was excited by the excitement and a little uneasy, I was not sure if it was a good omen, because some of the stones lined up and burned by the fire looked very oldI'm afraid that the people who have visited here have been gone for at least a dozen years or more.
As I spent more time exploring the island, I became familiar with the paths I had taken, and I was able to find the caves and huts by the sea even without looking at the previous markings.
I came back from the mountain, because I walked farther today, it was a little late, the moon was rising very high, I barely found some berries, I can't name them, the taste is sour and astringent, I ate some of them and there is nothing unusual, there are a lot of fruit pits on the ground that should be eaten by small animals, so I brought them back to Shen Yao, she seems to be a little different from the past today, there is a little more luster in her eyes, and she hides something behind me when she sees me.
"What is it?"
"Nothing!"
I didn't care what she was hiding, there wouldn't be anything important on the island, and I didn't ask, her posture seemed to lead me up to fight with her, I wanted to fight, but I was very tired from walking today, and I couldn't lift the spirit to play with her.
I poured the berries wrapped in my clothes on the beach, and she sat down obediently when she saw that I didn't come to grab them, and she seemed to be accustomed to these unknown things, and she didn't ask to pick one up and put it in her mouth, and her hand naturally took it to the front, and put what she had just hidden on her lap.
It was the pointed hat Eros puppet that Lan Jie fell, I don't know how it floated to the beach, and was picked up by Shen Yao.
