Chapter 250: A Way to Save Yourself
"Yes, we have to try it, maybe someone will see the smoke and come to our rescue." Ma Xiaoyao's words were not only a relief for himself, but also a comfort for Gu Li.
Gu Li nodded: "Then try it." ”
"Now we're going to split up and pick up branches, not just branches, but anything that can be burned." Ma Xiaoyao admonished.
Jin Ming and Gu Li nodded in understanding.
Because Jin Ming had an ankle injury and was unable to move, he could only pick up branches near the cave, while Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li went to farther places to pick up branches......
After a busy day, the three of them picked up a lot of branches, all of them were wet, it just rained heavily last night, so the branches were wet, fortunately it was summer, the weather was hot, and it would not take two days for the branches to be dried.
Ma Xiaoyao deliberately stuffed some wet branches into the tree hole, his purpose was to keep the branches damp, when lighting the fire, add some wet branches, the smoke will be more and thicker.
In the next few days, the three of them picked up a lot of branches and leaves, and Ma Xiaoyao also got a lot of wolf dung, which can be lit after being dried, and the smoke will be thicker.
Five days later.
The branches and wolf dung are dried, and when the branches are stepped on lightly, they immediately make a "crack......ling" sound of breaking, and the wolf dung will turn into powder when they are lightly touched, in short, the dry ones can no longer be dried.
Everything is ready to implement the plan.
This morning, Ma Xiaoyao piled a large pile of branches together, including dry branches, damp branches, and some dry wolf dung, Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath, took a lighter and began to light the branches and wolf dung.
More than ten minutes later, the branches and wolf dung burned, and puffs of smoke rose into the air.
"Well, the fire is lit and the smoke is rising...... The rest will have to wait. Ma shook his hand and put the lighter in his pocket.
Jin Ming and Gu Li looked at the smoke rising into the air, their faces full of anticipation.
……
Two days passed.
Most of the branches picked up by Ma Xiaoyao and others were burned, and no one came to rescue them, which made the three of them feel very heavy.
Another day passed, and still no one came to rescue them......
Ma Xiaoyao threw the last branch into the fire and exhaled: "The branches, leaves, and wolf dung on the island...... Everything that could be burned had been burned out...... But no one has come to rescue us......"
Jin Ming kept his face calm and did not speak.
Gu Li's expression was very guilty: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you are trapped on the island...... I'm sorry you guys......"
"Sister Gu, don't say that." Ma Xiaoyao held Gu Li's hand and said softly: "You can't be blamed for this matter at all, if you want to blame us, we can only blame our bad luck......
"Listen!" Jin Ming stood up suddenly.
Ma Yao looked at Jin Ming suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Brother, did you hear that...... A roar...... Jin Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky in the east: "The sound came from that side......"
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly listened intently, and finally heard some roars: "There is really a sound...... And why does this sound so similar...... What about the sound of a helicopter...... Belch...... What a helicopter! Ma Xiaoyao's eyes glared suddenly, and he pointed to the eastern sky: "There are really helicopters......
Gu Li also looked up, and sure enough, he saw a green helicopter flying to the east......
Jin Ming took off his shirt directly, and then waved it desperately, shouting in his mouth: "Hey...... Over here...... There's someone here......"
Ma Xiaoyao also kept waving and shouting at the helicopter.
I don't know if Jin Ming and Ma Yaoyao shouted for an effect, the helicopter was really coming towards them......
"The helicopter saw us...... It flew over...... We are saved! Jin Ming was ecstatic.
Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li were also excited.
The helicopter slowly landed on the island, the hatch was opened, and a man in a police uniform jumped from it, and the man glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and the others: "There are really people on this island." ”
Ma Xiaoyao and the others hurriedly walked over and thanked the man vigorously.
"How did you end up on this island?" The man asked, confused.
"Alas...... Don't mention it...... It's a long story...... "Ma Xiaoyao briefly recounted how several people were trapped on the island.
The man exclaimed, "Your life is really big." ”
"By the way, how did you find out about us?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the fire diagonally opposite: "Of course it was this fire that reminded me, I forgot to introduce it to you, my name is Zhang Hang, I am from the coast guard patrol brigade, I am usually responsible for driving a helicopter to patrol the sea area, when I inspected this sea area, I suddenly saw a puff of smoke coming out of a small island, at that time I guessed that someone might be trapped on the island, so I came to check it, I didn't expect it to really let me guess correctly." ”
"You came just in time, and if you had come a little later, the fire would have been extinguished...... When the time comes, you won't be able to spot us at all. Ma Xiaoyao said happily.
Zhang Hang smiled: "Why don't I say that your life is big...... Alright, get on the plane, I'll get you out of here now. ”
Ma Xiaoyao, Jin Ming and Gu Li hurriedly got into the helicopter.
Zhang Hang sat in the cockpit and told Ma Xiaoyao and the others to fasten their seat belts, and then he drove the helicopter and slowly left the island.
"By the way, Officer Zhang......" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something: "I still have a yacht turning in the sea, you see ......" The sound made by the helicopter was very loud, Ma Xiaoyao almost shouted at the top of his voice, and Zhang Hang heard it clearly.
Zhang Hang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll contact the patrol team immediately and ask them to send someone to get your yacht back." ”
"Oops, thank you so much, thank you so much." Hearing that Zhang Hang's contact person helped him get the yacht back, Ma Xiaoyao was immediately relieved, the yacht was rented by him, and if it was lost, he couldn't afford to pay for it.
A few hours later, Zhang Hang slowly landed on a huge platform: "This is our coast guard headquarters. As he spoke, Zhang Hang shut down the helicopter, opened the door and jumped in.
Ma Xiaoyao and others also jumped out of the helicopter.
Ma Xiaoyao swept around, and a trace of shock suddenly appeared on his face: "This ...... It's on a big ship......"
Zhang Hang nodded: "Yes, our coast guard headquarters is on this big ship, come with me, and I will take you to take a bath and change your clothes." As he spoke, Zhang Hang turned around and walked towards a cabin opposite.
Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li, and Jin Ming hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Ma Xiaoyao saw a lot of people wearing coast guard uniforms, these people are men and women, they all look good, and they are quite energetic when they walk, it can be seen that Zhang Hang's popularity is good, many coast guards have taken the initiative to greet Zhang Hang, Zhang Hang is also politely responded, for Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li and Jin Ming, these uninvited guests, the coast guards did not show too much surprise and surprise, it seems to have become commonplace, these coast guards have been working at sea for many years, and they will rescue many people trapped at sea every year, So they didn't express too much surprise at the three victims of Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li, and Jin Ming.
Zhang Hang led Ma Xiaoyao and the others to turn left and right, and then walked to a large room: "This is the dressing room, push open the door inside to wash the bathroom, the bathroom is divided into two departments for men and women, you can enter according to the door number on the door." Speaking of this, Zhang Hang walked to an iron cabinet and reached out to take out a few clothes from it: "There are a few clothes here, they are all old, you will put them on first, and when you go ashore, you can go home and change your clothes." As he spoke, Zhang Hang gave the clothes in his hand to Ma Xiaoyao and others, the larger ones to Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming, and the smaller ones to Gu Li, all of which were some shirts and blue pants, which should be the clothes that the coast guards usually change.
"Officer Zhang, I'm sorry for you." Ma Xiaoyao thanked him.
"You're welcome, you're going to take a break in this locker room after you take a shower, and I'll come over to inform you when my teammates get your yacht back, and don't run around, there are a lot of places where idlers are not allowed to enter, so don't get into any trouble when the time comes." After a few words, Zhang Hang turned around and left.
Gu Li nodded: "This Zhang Hang is a kind person, go back, I want to write a letter of praise and send it to the coast guard, and praise this Zhang Hang well." "Gu Li is the mayor, if he really writes a letter of praise, the leaders of the coast guard will definitely attach great importance to it, and maybe they will reward Zhang Hang well.
"Sister Gu, let's go take a bath, and then gather here after taking a bath." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Okay." Guli walked into the women's bathhouse with her clothes in her arms.
Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming also entered the men's bathhouse, the area of the bathhouse is quite large, it is estimated that it can accommodate dozens of people to take a bath together at the same time, the water is warm, and it is very comfortable to pour on the skin.
After half an hour, Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming finished taking a bath, the two wiped their bodies clean, got dressed and walked out of the bathhouse, the dressing room outside was empty, Gu Li had not come out yet, women took a bath slower than men, after all, many places are much more complicated to clean than men.
Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming sat on a wooden bench, chatting while waiting for Gu Li to come out.
"Jin Ming, thank you!" Ma Xiaoyao said a word of thanks.
"Good and decent, why do you want to thank me?" Jin Ming was stunned for a moment.
"If you hadn't sued Sister Gu and said that I liked her, and you helped me say a lot of good things...... Otherwise, it would be impossible for Sister Gu to accept me so quickly. Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
"So it's because of this." Jin Ming smiled: "Actually, I didn't say anything, I just told you in detail about the sins you suffered these days when you went to sea, and my sister-in-law was very moved after listening to it...... My sister-in-law said that I woke her up, so that she finally understood that she liked you and cared about you...... As the so-called lovers eventually become married, seeing that you and your sister-in-law are finally together, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart......"
