Yu Wenli yawned, and a trace of sleepiness rose on her face. She looked at the remaining shrimp crawlers and oysters on the reef and asked, puzzled, "Don't you want these?" Wouldn't it be a pity? ”

"Of course!" Xu Wenlong said, throwing two oysters like sea bowls into the fire, then dipping the washed shrimp crawlers in fine salt, putting them into the "coconut pot" with empty coconut milk, and then using a dagger to remove the snow-white coconut meat, thickly cover the shrimp crawlers, and then put them on the fire to simmer slowly.

In a few moments, the oysters in the fire made two muffled pops, and the closed shells cracked, revealing the tender flesh inside.

When Xu Wenlong saw it, he quickly pulled out the two oyster chops, lifted the hard oyster shells, and carefully cut off the oyster meat with a dagger. Tender white and fragrant, like two balls of silky meat Ganoderma lucidum. If you add a little side dish, you can stir-fry two large plates. Xu Wenlong cleaned up the two balls of oonster meat slightly, picked out the black so-called "internal organs" on the side, lightly sprinkled some salt, and then skewered them with wooden skewers, and also put them on the fire to grill.

When the shrimp crawler gives off a rich and attractive aroma, the peony meat on the fire is also roasted, and the wild vegetable broth is also full of aroma, constantly puffing and tumbling, and it is ready to be cooked.

Xu Wenlong successively took out the oyster meat, shrimp crawler and meat and vegetable soup from the fire, placed them on the reef one by one, and then said to Yu Wenli with a smile: "Dinner is ready, all here, please feel free to eat whatever you want." ”

Yu Wenli shook her head and replied with a sigh: "So much food, such an attractive aroma, comparable to the most luxurious restaurant on the 'North Star', and the taste is fresher and more beautiful!" Thinking about the hard life I have endured at sea for more than ten days, I now almost feel like I am living in paradise. ”

"This nature, the so-called bitter and sweet, I believe that in the days to come, we will never be hungry and thirsty again." Xu Wenlong replied with deep feelings, "It's just ...... It's just that you Shiqi sister her...... Alas......"

Yu Wenli moved her body, sat down next to Xu Wenlong, gently leaned her head on him and said, "If Sister Shiqi knew that we had gone through hardships and had our lives on the line, and we were successfully rescued on the island, she would definitely be happy for us!" Though...... Though...... But after all, we did our best! ”

"Well, you go to bed early." Xu Wenlong let out a long sigh, and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes. Yes, in order to save his beloved Liang Shiqi, he did whatever it took and reckless of all the consequences, knowing that it was almost impossible to pursue a heavily armed submarine with a lifeboat, but he still did it, and did it without hesitation. Although God is pitiful and did not lose his life in the vast sea, isn't the result more uncomfortable than death? The boat is broken down and trapped, it can be said that there is no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, and I don't know how long it will take to get in touch with the outside world! Ten days? Twenty days? Or three or five years? Oh my God, what if you were stuck here for the rest of your life? What about Shiqi? After Xu Wenlong experienced a short period of joy in being rescued, he couldn't help but fall into endless thoughts and suffering.

"What about you? It's time to rest early, after so many ups and downs, don't exhaust yourself. Yu Wenli silently glanced at Xu Wenlong, who was distressed and anxious, and gently rubbed his chest with her head and said.

Xu Wenlong shook his head lightly, stared at the whirring fire with a melancholy face and said, "I'm not sleepy, I'm not tired, it's better for you to sleep first." I'm here to watch over this fire, but don't let it go out. ”

"Well, then I'll go to sleep first." Yu Wenli was full of food and drink, her eyelids were heavy, her sleepiness was getting thicker, she muttered in her mouth, lay down on the spot with her coat on her pillow, and soon fell into a dream.

Xu Wenlong added a few dead branches to the fire, lit the fire slightly, and then held his head in his hands, leaned his chin on his knees, and stared blankly at the crackling flames......

The night is dark, and the stars are setting in the west. The humidity grew heavier, and the jungle behind him was swarthy, as silent as if asleep, except for the occasional scalp-tingling wail of a night owl.

The bonfire rises and falls, fluctuating. The extinguishing firelight reflected a cold, depressed face, and the glittering tears that were clearly visible on it.

Wow, a terrible bird's cry broke the silence of the jungle, and it looked particularly strange in the dark night, especially the people.

Yu Wenli, who was sleeping, shivered, turned over and sat up like an electric shock, and asked Xu Wenlong with a pair of worried eyes: "What time is it, why don't you sleep yet?" Ouch, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? Why are you crying again? ”

Xu Wenlong was stunned, hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, I didn't cry, how could I cry?" That's smoke...... It's wood-smoked. ”

"Who are you fooling? Crying is crying, what is there to hide? Yu Wenli sighed, hugged Xu Wenlong's waist tightly with both hands and said, "Who doesn't know that you miss Sister Shiqi?" Who wouldn't miss Sister Shiqi? As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly screamed again, stretched out her hand and pointed to the jungle behind her, and said in a trembling voice: "Ghosts, there are ghosts, there are many ghosts in the woods......"

"What are you talking about? Where are the ghosts in this world? Xu Wenlong looked back and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It turned out that in the black coconut grove belt, a few bright and dazzling "lanterns" flickered from time to time.

Yu Wenli's body shrunk into a ball, trembling and squeezing as much as she could on Xu Wenlong's body, and said in horror and anxiety: "It's bleak and cold, isn't it a ghost fire?" What do you think...... Think it's a firefly? ”

Xu Wenlong smiled and comforted her: "That's just a few wild cats, of course, it may also be a cheetah." But it doesn't matter, they don't come, and they don't dare to come, because they're afraid of fire. ”

As soon as the words fell, a powerful roar suddenly sounded in the jungle, like an invisible blade, and the strange and terrifying "lanterns" were extinguished, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the entire island fell into a dead silence in an instant. There were no insects, no birds, and even the sea breeze seemed to have stopped.

Yu Wenli "snorted", plunged into Xu Wenlong's arms without a head or brain, looked at Xu Wenlong with a white face and said, "My mother, there are lions on this island!" Man-eating lion! What can I do? We're dead! It's sure to be eaten in one bite! ”

"Not a lion, but a tiger!" Xu Wenlong was also surprised when he heard the terrifying roar at first glance. There are tigers on the island, which is a bit tricky. He quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, hugged Yu Wenli and slowly turned to the downwind of the fire, and opened his eyes to observe the black jungle carefully.

It was silent, it was dark, nothing could be heard, nothing could be seen clearly, only the coconut leaves rustling in the sea breeze.

Yu Wenli shrank motionlessly in Xu Wenlong's arms, and said with a shudder: "Lion...... Old...... Will the tiger come out? Will rush out and bite...... Bite us? ”

"Nope! It's going to come out early, and it won't wait until now! ”

"Could it be...... Could it be ...... Is it also afraid of fire? ”

"Yes, many ferocious animals are afraid of fire, especially timberwolves!" Although Xu Wenlong comforted Yu Wenli softly, he did not relax his vigilance at all, his whole body tensed, his legs were tied to the horse, and he held the dagger tightly and stared closely at the monster-like black jungle.

Chirp, coo. The worm cried, and the night owl began to sing merrily. It was as if the jungle had been reborn, and soon regained its former vigor and vitality. There was no eerie color, no horror, no suffocating silence, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put away the dagger and said, "Let's go, the tiger has left." ”

Yu Wenli was not at ease, and still hugged his waist tightly and said, "Will it ...... Will it deliberately confuse us? Once...... As soon as we let go, it rushes out...... Rush out and eat our ......"

"No way, it's gone far." Xu Wenlong helped Yu Wenli to sit down gently facing the jungle, and his heart boiled like a river and a sea. It seems that this place can no longer stay, and it will have to find another safer and more secluded place to live.

Yu Wenli clinged to Xu Wenlong, from time to time with a frightened gaze at the coconut grove, at the beach, and even at the sea behind her, and also glanced at a few times every now and then, as if a ferocious tiger would pop up around at any time. She frowned, her face was flustered, she looked at Xu Wenlong worriedly and said, "What can I do?" It's hard to find an island to live on, but unfortunately there are tigers rampant in it! We don't have guns or cannons, but how can we fight it with just a dagger? I don't think we will live long, and nine out of ten will become its meal on the plate and in the mouth! It seems that this hellish place is really uninhabited, let alone the evil pirates who have been left behind. Alas, his grandmother's luck is not good, the passing year is not good, she just escaped from the shark's mouth, but in the blink of an eye she fell into the tiger's den! ”

Xu Wenlong smiled slightly, and said to Yu Wenli in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, tigers generally only come out to forage at night, and they generally don't see it during the day." Therefore, as long as we can find a safe place to stay, it will be helpless and pose no threat to us, and we don't need to be afraid of it. ”

"The key is that there are tall trees and dense forests everywhere, but where can I find a safe place to stay?" Yu Wenli sighed and replied, "Choose a towering tree and build a tree house on it?" It's quite new and chic, but how can we afford to build it when we don't have any tools? Besides, what if you climb up and down every day, and accidentally fall down? Don't fall into a puddle of meat mud yet? It's too dangerous and too troublesome for me to live! ”

"Mountains, there are a lot of mountains here! Just look for it, and you're sure to find a hidden and safe cave or two! ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Yu Wenli patted her head and cheered, "Find a dry cave, not afraid of wind and rain, and you can see the sea in the distance, no passing ships can escape our eyes, this is a perfect way!" But in this way, the two of us have become authentic cave people! So when do we act? Just tomorrow, the sooner the better, the sooner the better! ”

Xu Wenlong nodded lightly and said, "Yes, tomorrow!" Go to bed early, tomorrow may be a long way. Rest assured, I will always watch over you and will not let you be in any danger. ”
