Early the next morning, Xu Wenlong got up with a grunt, waited patiently by the window of the platform, and stared intently at the rippling blue sea, hoping to find one or two passing ships. However, after three or four hours of guarding, the vast sea was still calm as usual, and there was nothing to be seen except for the huge seabirds that flew through the air in twos and threes. This made his brow tighten more and more, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Yu Wenli woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and came to the windowsill, glanced at the sea where the water and the sky meet, and asked Xu Wenlong gloomily: "Have you been watching for a long time, haven't you found the passing ships?" ”

Xu Wenlong shook his head silently, sighed and took out the meat roasted last night, and motioned for Yu Wenli to have breakfast. The campfire had long since been extinguished, and the ashes had cooled for a long time, so they had to eat cold food.

Yu Wenli hurriedly freshened up, grabbed the half-pulled pheasant and ate it. While eating, he asked Xu Wenlong with great interest: "What are you going to do after breakfast?" Would you like me to take me around and take a look at our new territory? ”

"Our new territory?" Xu Wenlong listened, and almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of roasted snake meat in his mouth, "You think about it quite openly, and as soon as you settle down, you start thinking about your territory." What does it mean to go out for a walk? Do you want to show the majesty of your new lord in front of the beasts? ”

Yu Wenli smiled and replied, "Isn't it?" According to international maritime rules, everything that is unclaimed in the sea is disposed of according to the principle of whoever finds it owns. So, this isolated island belongs to both of us from now on. Of course, you still have to be the lord, and I will be the deputy lord at most. ”

Xu Wenlong smiled bitterly, raised his head and said to her: "It's good to stay in the cave if you eat well, and you can't run around." I'm going to find the top of the highest hill and climb up to watch and see if there are any passing boats. Otherwise, we would have to stay on this isolated island for the rest of our lives. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to stay for ten lifetimes!" Yu Wenli swallowed the chicken in her mouth hard, blinked her eyes and replied, "But it's impossible for me to stay alone in this gloomy cave." Let's not talk about whether that terrifying midnight ghost cry is a baby fish, the hateful tiger alone is scary enough. What if it breaks into a cave? How can I deal with it if I am weak alone? Obediently let it be torn to shreds and turned into a good meal? You're a little too cruel, you guess it's a little too cruel. ”

Xu Wenlong frowned and thought for a while, feeling that Yu Wenli was reasonable. After all, the tiger is currently dangerous, and the devil knows where it will hide, and the devil knows what it is doing. In case it takes advantage of a loophole and hurts this little girl in one fell swoop, it will be too late to regret and blame herself. Thinking of this, he nodded lightly and said, "Then let's go up the mountain together." But be mentally prepared, we are not here to show off the prestige of the lord, but to wait for external support. So the process can be monotonous, boring, and even a little difficult and tiring. ”

"Isn't it just a mountain? Can there be a tiger chasing a fart, crying dad and calling his mother, hard and tired? Yu Wenli was indeed frightened by the tiger, of course, she was also afraid of the crying of the baby fish, and her miserable soul would be scared away, so she didn't want to stay alone in her so-called "fairy cave" anyway.

After breakfast, Xu Wenlong took a dagger, put on a javelin, and walked out of the cave with Yu Wenli one after the other.

It is exactly what it looks like at ** o'clock in the morning, the sun is obliquely shining, brilliant, and the birds are singing branches, and it is lively.

After Xu Wenlong walked out of the slope of the cave, he searched around for marks on the ground, and soon found the footprints of a tiger under a tree, which were large and dense, deep in the soft earth. Then I saw a place where the thatch was lying on the ground. It seems that the tiger has been lying in the grass for quite some time. The more Xu Wenlong looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he watched it, the more he regretted it. Is this damn tiger really waiting for an opportunity to hunt us? Staying here most of the night? Alas, if I knew this, I shouldn't have listened to that girl in the first place, wouldn't it be easier to let her die in the quagmire?

"Ahh Come, come here, there's a wild boar here! Yu Wenli, who stayed on the slope, suddenly screamed, and pointed at a boulder in amazement and shouted loudly.

Wild boar? Xu Wenlong's heart sank suddenly, he pulled out the dagger and rushed over, pulling the frightened Yu Wenli behind him, holding the dagger and preparing for defense with all his might......

There is indeed a wild boar behind the boulder, a wild boar that has been dead for a long time! It is not big, ** ten pounds, and a lot of dirty blood flows, dripping from a distance to the entrance of the cave. The strangest and most terrifying thing is that there is still a row of pierced tooth marks on the pig's neck, which is shocking and chilling. The tooth cavity is very large, and it is by no means possible for ordinary beasts to pass through it.

Tigers, it must have been killed by tigers! Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli looked at each other and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yu Wenli's face was weird, her eyes were shining, and she hid behind Xu Wenlong and kept muttering, "It's strange, it's so strange." Why don't the tigers eat the wild boars? Why did you send wild boars to the door of this cave? Could this cave be its lair? Because we occupy it, you don't dare to come in? Or is it ...... Or ......"

Of course, Xu Wenlong was also confused and didn't know what to do. One thing is certain, though, that the cave is not a tiger's lair. Thinking of last night, when the baby fish howled in the middle of the night, scared Yu Wenli to scream, and the tiger roared at the right time, a strange thought suddenly rose in his mind, very absurd, very ridiculous, almost whimsical. However, in the absence of conclusive evidence, he did not dare to draw conclusions casually, so as not to mislead Yu Wenli. Xu Wenlong kicked the wild boar with his foot, but of course there was no reaction; I raised my eyes and looked around carefully, but I didn't find anything unusual. The tiger must have been gone for a long time, and probably took refuge in its den to sleep.

"Forget it, let's go, go to the top of the mountain." Xu Wenlong looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't guess what intentions this wild boar came out of thin air, and the most important thing at the moment was to find passing ships in order to leave this isolated island as soon as possible.

"But the wild boar...... What to do with wild boars? Is that to stay here? Unafraid...... Aren't you afraid of being eaten by other beasts? Yu Wenli was very curious, and she really wanted to figure out the reason and figure it out.

Xu Wenlong dragged Yu Wenli on the hand, dragged one step and turned around three times, she frightened: "What if this is a trap laid by the tiger, and when we move the wild boar, it suddenly rushes out and bites us?" Aren't you afraid? ”

Yu Wenli really trembled, shrunk her neck and replied with a wincing: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" But I guess the tiger isn't that smart, is it really a master? I even know how to set traps! ”

The mountain is not high, but it is steep and full of rocks, and there is no path to follow, except for a winding ascent from the slightly gentler rocky slopes and shrubs. Sometimes a long detour is necessary to get around a huge rock or a steep fault. So it took the two more than an hour to finally climb to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is full of strange rocks that have weathered the wind and rain. Or rugged and abrupt, or smooth as a mirror, or shaped like a galloping horse and lying turtle, or shaped like a steamed bun spring roll, it can be said that each has its own merits, original and one. There was hardly any dirt to be seen between the rocks, and the trees could not survive, except for a few vines crawling here and there. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful jungle in front of you, and the cliffs rising from the ground in the back. The right side winds its way to the towering end of the life-saving beach. The left side zigzags over a taller and steeper mountain, and then circles around a huge semicircle, and then suddenly falls, half in height, as if broken at the waist, and then rises again flattening, forming an abrupt cliff on the other side of the lifebank. And in front of the broken gap, there is a particularly tall and abrupt mountain, black and slimy like a semi-isolated island. The whole mountain range is winding and bald. One side is vertically adjacent to the abyss, and the other side is gently land, like a huge barrier, arching more than 10,000 hectares of primeval forest on the island. The forest is crisscrossed by streams that crisscross each other. Two of them are the largest. One is the River of Hope on the life-saving beach, and the end is at the entrance of the Immortal Cave. The other is the first branch of the River of Hope to go up, to the far away ridge break. If Xu Wenlong had gone to the right at the tributary, the place where they were standing now might have been the towering black mountain. The whole island is long and narrow from east to west, wide and short from north to south, like an elongated spindle, and its appearance is very peculiar.

Xu Wenlong stood on the top of the mountain and was extremely hopeless, but he saw the blue sky and blue sea on all sides, and they were seamlessly connected. The white clouds in the sky float leisurely; The microwave at sea is beautiful, and the style is shaking; The eagle spreads its wings in the air, and the white gull flies. But there is no sail in sight, let alone the imaginary cruise ship passing leisurely. Xu Wenlong sighed, picked a flat stone and sat down, stretched his neck and opened his eyes wide, searching carefully at the junction of the sea and the sky, slowly searching, an inconspicuous black spot, a slightly upturned wave, and did not let go.
