13. Chapter XIII
The stone is not big, but it is not small, and it can accommodate 13 people, just enough to free up the distance between each other.
The rain was still dripping, and the depressions of the stones were full of mud, but everyone couldn't care about it so much, basically spread on the ground like Ye Zimeng, and their faces were tired.
Anyway, the safety suit is still waterproof, and despite walking in the heavy rain all night, the inside is still dry, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Ye Zimeng wiped a handful of rainwater, propped his hands behind his back, his legs flat, and raised his head to meet the oncoming raindrops.
The soles of the feet are painful, the ankles are sore, the thighs and calves feel even worse, it's the soreness that comes out of the cracks in the bones, indescribable, but maddening enough.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the feedback from every cell in her body to the cranial nerves, and a faint smile appeared on her tired face.
She didn't know what it was like for the others present, but she enjoyed the moment very much.
After being extremely tired, it is countless times cooler to be able to rest comfortably for a while, so that every cell in the whole body can take a lazy nap than lying on a soft big bed all day.
Both physiologically, and psychologically.
Despite the uneven, hard, icy rocks underneath her, the 'rain therapy' that had been dropped by raindrops, and the animals that accompanied them in silence, she still felt that this moment was incredible.
Wait a minute......?
There are snakes among the animals!
Ye Zi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes suddenly, and the whole person immediately sat up straight, and his eyes fell straight to the place where the snake was, and he was slightly relieved to find that people were honestly staying in their own territory. But she didn't look away, but still stared.
Sensing her movements, He Huan, who was nesting in Li Shengming's arms next to her, glanced at her: "I'm afraid to look at it, aren't you looking for abuse?" "The other party should really learn like himself, and if he has a dense phobia, don't open his eyes and don't look at it.
"You don't understand." Ye Zimeng said stiffly, "If I don't stare at them, I don't feel at ease, I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, they will come next to me." ”
"There are people in front of you, left and right, and snakes don't hide invisibly, I really don't know what you're afraid of!" He Huan rolled his eyes.
Ye Zimeng kept her mouth shut, even if He Huan was her best friend, but there were some things that no one else could empathize with except herself, such as the innate fear of snakes.
So when others were resting and chatting, she got into trouble with those snakes.
After watching it for a long time, she magically found that she no longer had the initial fear of those colorful snake piles, but felt a little aesthetic fatigue?
She blinked.
If she knew that staring at them for a long time would overcome her fears, she would have done so!!
So Ye Zimeng, who thought he had overcome, happily retracted his gaze. (Of course, it was just what she thought, and she was still scared after that.) )
Closing her somewhat dry eyes slightly, she stretched her waist and remembered her future boyfriend, so she began to look left and right, looking for Wei Jin's figure.
She didn't see him when she turned her gaze, and just when she wanted to ask, she stumbled upon him in a tree not far away.
He had just put down the binoculars in his hand, and from a distance, he could see that his face was not very good.
The next second he jumped nimbly from the tree, shook off the worm that crawled on him, threw out a small green snake wrapped around his calf, and came to the rock.
The two deputy team leaders greeted him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wei, how is it?" ”
Wei Jin shook his head, glanced at everyone, and did not deliberately lower his voice: "The sea level has risen, and the island has been submerged by a third. ”
After talking about what he saw, he looked up at the sky that was still sprinkled with water: "If this continues, it is estimated that in an hour the sea will flood our tent setting up site last night." ”
Everyone pursed their lips and held their breath, and the rare leisure feeling they had just rested had disappeared from their faces.
The tent was set up in the middle of the island, and if it was flooded, it wouldn't be far from where they were now.
Li Shengming touched He Huan's head and took the lead in breaking the silence: "What about the rescue team?" ”
Wei Jin shook his head: "Our area is fine, I took a look from a distance, the whirlpool at the other end of the sea is too big, the wind and waves are too fierce, even if the rescue team sets off, it is very likely that they will not be able to pass." ”
"What then?" Another shorter man asked.
Wei Jin succinctly threw out one word: "Wait." ”
What are you waiting for? Waiting for the rain to stop, for the waves to subside, for the ship to arrive, of course.
If they can't wait, they will all be buried in the deep sea for a long time.
So whether you can survive or not really depends on God.
They have nothing else to do but wait.
The rest of the day was unusually long, and in order to pass the uneasy and empty feeling, everyone chatted absentmindedly, and after a few minutes they glanced at the sky, hoping that God would stop pouring water in a second.
However, the rain did not show any warning, and the sea level rose little by little, and the sea gradually flooded their tents and came slowly towards them, so that everyone's faces were a little pale.
Fortunately, most of the people present were strong-willed men who would not cry, let alone pee their pants in fright.
So Ye Zimeng is very satisfied with this.
She had participated in a hike abroad, but because of the weather, the group was trapped in a cave, and before they could stay in the cave for a few hours, the foreign girls who were traveling with her started crying......
Although she is also a woman, she hates women crying noses the most.
Because it's so annoying, it's clear that I'm not a comforting person, but I still have to run to comfort under the instructions of a group of men, and the more comforting, the more others cry, and finally make everyone physically and mentally exhausted.
Why bother.
Heaven is destined for you to die here, pour a few more basins of water and flood the island, can you swim back to the mainland?
Ye Zimeng thought so crankily, took a small sip of saliva from the mask, moistened his lips, and put the water back again.
She has always felt that many things in life are interlocking and have their own providence.
For example, if she hadn't studied abroad back then, she wouldn't have met He Huan, and if she hadn't met He Huan, she wouldn't have come to participate in this desert island adventure.
But since I came to participate, this event must have a different meaning.
If everyone is buried at the bottom of the sea this time, then the meaning is to end her life, which means that her life with God has come to an end.
If you don't die at the bottom of the sea, then the meaning is likely that she will have a connection with one of these people in the future.
And judging from the current situation, if it is really the latter, that person is likely to be Wei Jin.
After some whimsical without any scientific basis, Ye Zimeng came to the conclusion that he and Wei Jin must have a fateful bond, so he stood up from his position very recklessly, said goodbye to Li Shengming and He Huan with eyebrows, and moved to another corner.
Looking at her back, Li Shengming exclaimed: "In this case, I still have the heart to flirt with men, and I am willing to bow down." ”
He Huan raised his cheeks and said: "This is the case, flirting with men can get twice the result with half the effort." Didn't I do the same at the beginning, so I managed to win you~"
At the end, she turned her head sideways, aimed at his lips, and kissed him through the two masks.
"......" Li Shengming looked at He Huan silently, his long sleeves were good at dancing and his mouth was like a river, and he had never been useful to his girlfriend.
The expression on his face successfully made He Huan tremble with laughter.
He was a little helpless: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
"Afraid of what?" She almost burst out laughing.
"The sea is almost flooding."
"I can't drown." He Huan retracted slightly, "Trust me, it will stop later." ”
"How do you know?" He rolled his eyes.
She snorted proudly: "I'm a mascot, where I am, God will bless me, and I can save the day." ”
If Ye Zimeng is here, he will definitely despise this friend who has honey confidence and optimism.
It's a pity that she wasn't there, because at this moment she was standing next to Wei Jin, looking at him condescendingly.
And he was immersed in his own world, his head down and fiddling with the camera in his hand, oblivious to her arrival.
Ye Zimeng coughed, completely ignoring the meaningful gazes of the people around him, and pointed to the place next to him very calmly: "Brother Wei, can I sit?" ”
After a slight pause in his hand, he didn't even raise his head, only nodded politely, and didn't say a word.
Ignored, she blinked, bent the corners of her mouth at the gossip around her, patted her buttocks, and sat down.
There was a bit of a burner under her buttocks, and she adjusted her position, and the two of them were suddenly very close to each other, and they could hear each other's breathing.
Ye Zimeng sat down satisfied, and began to talk about the topic boringly.
She gestured to the camera in his hand, "I see you just took a lot of pictures in the trees." ”
He pursed the corners of his lips and said politely, "Hmm." ”
She tilted her head and chuckled, "Can you show me?" ”
He refused expressionlessly: "The photo hasn't been processed yet." ”
She had to inch in: "Does this mean that you will send it to me when you go back and deal with it?" ”
He was silent: "......"
She went one step further: "If you don't speak, you agree." But you don't have my contact information, how can you give me the photo? Well, I'll give you my contact information, you can take out your phone. ”
He finally glanced up at her, "We won't necessarily be able to go back." ”
She raised her eyebrows: "What if she goes back?" ”
He was silent again: "......"
She hooked the corners of her mouth: "So, just in case of 'going back', you should write down my contact information." ”
He closed his eyes, then opened them again: "You have contact information on your resume." ”
She thought about it and reluctantly agreed: "That's okay, you can't go back on what you promised, I'll wait for your photos when I go back!" ”
Again, he emphasized: "We don't necessarily have to go back. ”
Ye Zimeng shrugged indifferently, looked up at the sky, and suddenly turned his head sideways, raised an extremely bright smile, revealing two rows of white teeth: "If you can't go back, you can't go back." "It's not a loss for her to be buried at the bottom of the sea with a beautiful man.
Wei Jin's gaze suddenly stopped at this moment, and her smile was like a flower reflected in her slightly brown pupils.
The slender five fingers itched slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to press the shutter.
That smile was so bright that it gave him the illusion that it was a ray of sunshine hidden under the dark clouds, and suddenly it tore open the clouds and appeared in front of his eyes, bright and bright, shaking people's hearts.
It's just that this moment is as short as fireworks, and he can't capture it.
These thoughts passed by in an instant, and he looked away expressionlessly, lowering his head slightly.
This time, for the first time, he just wanted someone to appear in his lens.
Therefore, some women are too dangerous, and it is better to stay away.
After all, his shots, don't want people.
"Wait...... Wait, I was dazzled just now, I seem to see a ray of sunshine behind the dark clouds! A cautious voice suddenly appeared, recalling his senses.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the sky, and the surrounding area instantly became a commotion, and all kinds of cheerful cheers rang out almost at the same time.
Wei Jin followed the voice and raised his head, and the ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It lifted the dark clouds and shone on the surface of the sea, which was particularly shocking.
It's real sunshine, not someone's laughter.
He swiped the floor and quickly set up the camera, found a good angle, adjusted the focus, and pressed the shutter.
So this moment lasts forever.
