Chapter 567: Mysteriously Disappearing
After Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli escaped from the black water pool, they both lay on the pile of dead leaves with the great joy of escaping death, completely ignoring the dirt and stench on their bodies, completely ignoring the huge swarm of bees flying by in the distance. It wasn't until more than an hour later that they got up from the ground, cleaned the mud off their heads and faces a little, took their food and self-defense equipment, and set out again on the journey to the northeast end of Lucky Island.
After walking a short distance, there are more and more stinky pools hidden in the woods, and they are getting denser and denser, and if you don't pay attention, you will step into the air and fall into them. Fortunately, Xu Wenlong's eyes were sharp, he was observant, and quickly figured out their distribution rules, and led Yu Wenli to avoid them in time. However, Yu Wenli is a girl who loves stinky beauty, and this filthy and smelly body can't let her go with peace of mind no matter what, and she keeps talking about finding a place to wash well.
Xu Wenlong weighed it back and forth, so he decided to abandon this dangerous path and go to the tributary of the Hope River instead. After all, safety is more important, although it takes more time to walk down the river. But what does it matter? On this deserted island, the last thing they lack is time.
Bypassing the strange woods that were hidden in the fierce pool, the two men soon found a tributary of the Hope River.
Seeing this, Yu Wenli was as happy as if she had met a long-lost relative. Without saying a word, he jumped into the clear river water, and scrubbed the sludge on his body with his hands and feet.
Xu Wenlong looked at the surrounding situation, it was silent and silent, and there was nothing unusual; Look at the tiger on the shore again, lying on all fours, quiet and peaceful. So he said to Yu Wenli: "You can wash it here, and dry your clothes by the way." After washing and drying, they came to me downstream of the river, and I was not far ahead. ”
"Go ahead, go ahead, you can also go and wash it quickly, and leave me alone." Yu Wenli replied with a smile while taking off the dirty clothes on her body.
So Xu Wenlong went down the river, stopped at a bend, quickly took off the only pants and moccasins on his body, jumped into the river and took a bath. Fortunately, although the black water pool is sinister, there are no harmful flies and insects, and the body is completely the same, not even a red spot. After washing away the filth from his body, Xu Wenlong washed his pants and shoes again and put them on a stone to dry.
It's exactly three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sun is gradually moving westward, its heat is not diminishing at all. The sun is still so strong, still so dazzling. The sky was blue and blue, as if someone had washed it with water.
After the clothes were dried and dressed neatly, Yu Wenli also happened to come over on a tiger. She was dressed dry, radiant, with a faint fragrance of flowers, and when she saw Xu Wenlong, she said as if showing off: "How is it?" Is it fragrant? Do you know about flower baths! The whole body, including the hair, is scrubbed with fragrant flowers. But I was exhausted, and I don't know if anyone was hiding in the shadows to peek. ”
Xu Wenlong glared at her, put on his bow and arrow and backpack, stretched his face and said very seriously: "Let's go, it's not early, we have to find a suitable place to camp." ”
Yu Wenli and Fan carefully groomed, but they failed to get praise from the film, and they were immediately unhappy in their hearts, and replied with a pout: "I didn't say that you peeked, why do you look like you are angry and fierce?" Is it a thief's heart? After speaking, she immediately put on a pitiful appearance, and begged Xu Wenlong in a soft voice: "Otherwise, let's go to the life-saving beach for the night." It's not too far anyway, so you should be able to get there before dark. Because...... Because I don't like to sleep in a tree, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. ”
Xu Wenlong listened, frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed: "Okay, since you don't want to spend the night in the tree, then let's go to the life-saving beach." It's just a matter of taking some more wrongful paths, and you won't miss much time. "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. Xu Wenlong naturally knows Yu Wenli's temperament, and on the surface, she seems to be sincerely discussing with you, but in fact, she has to act unconditionally according to her wishes. Otherwise, there will inevitably be an endless quarrel, quarrel, and even sprinkling and crying. Who can stand this?
The two of them then turned south, burrowed into the dense and lush jungle, and struggled to walk in the direction of the life-saving beach.
Needless to say, it's a trek all the way. When the afterglow of the sunset gradually disappeared and the heavy night quietly fell, Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli finally arrived at the long-lost life-saving beach, stepping on the golden and soft yellow sand, and staring at the rippling sea with complicated feelings.
Suddenly, Yu Wenli, who was riding on the back of a tiger, exclaimed: "Lifeboat, our lifeboat!" Oh my God, the lifeboat hanging on the reef is gone! There are also distress signals, and those stones don't know where to go! ”
Xu Wenlong was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the huge and conspicuous reef. Oh my God, the lifeboat that was stuck high upside down on the tip of the stone is gone! Look at the beach at your feet, but there is still the slightest shadow of a distress signal? The stones, large and small, that had been painstakingly placed seemed to have evaporated overnight, and not a single one of them could be found.
"Someone is coming, someone must have landed on this isolated island!" Yu Wenli jumped off the tiger's back, grabbed Xu Wenlong's arm tightly and said, "Eighty percent of the passing ships found this lifeboat, and then sent someone to carry it away, and also moved the distress signal. It's over, we've missed our chance to be rescued, and we're going to have to stay on this island for the rest of our lives! But if you miss, you will miss, who is afraid of whom? It's actually not bad to be a majestic island owner! ”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! If a ship were to pass by, they would never destroy the distress signal! Xu Wenlong shook his head and replied with a solemn face. He hurried to the shallow shore of the sea, bowed his head and looked into the water; After that, he strode into the coconut grove and crouched down to search for it. It's a pity that I was busy for a long time, not only did I not find the shadow of half of the signal stone, but I didn't even find a shallow footprint. What the hell is this!
Yu Wenli left the tiger lying on the beach, followed Xu Wenlong with a fart, and kept saying her "reasonable" guess: "If it weren't for those damn monkeys in the jungle, they specialized in pranks." No, next time I must ask Xiaohua to teach them a good lesson. However, a few days ago, there was a heavy rainstorm, and the wind and waves at sea were particularly terrifying. Will the lifeboats and signal stones be swept away by the raging tide? ”
"It's possible, or it's impossible!" Xu Wenlong stopped searching, and stared at the broken ridge in the northeast for a long time by the light of the stars and moon, which was gradually brightening. He had a strange, bold, almost whimsical idea in his mind, so absurd and comical that he didn't dare to say it easily. Perhaps, when we get to that place tomorrow, all the doubts will be cleared. Xu Wenlong looked at it and thought about it for a long time, and finally said silently.
Yu Wenli was impatient, grabbed Xu Wenlong's arm, and shouted loudly while shaking vigorously: "You are talking, what is going on?" What is called is possible and impossible? Isn't this nonsense? ”
Xu Wenlong patted Yu Wenli on the shoulder and said to her softly, "Let's go, let's go and rest behind that reef." It is sheltered from the wind and does not get cold when you sleep at night. After saying that, with indescribably complicated feelings, he slowly came to the big reef that had pierced the lifeboat, untied his bow and arrows and his backpack, and slowly sat down.
Yu Wenli beckoned to the tiger, sat beside Xu Wenlong on the soft tiger's back, blinked a pair of puzzled eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What's on your mind? Why don't you tell me about it? ”
Xu Wenlong smiled slightly, took out the huge backpack, took out the barbecue and fruits picked on the road, and put them in front of Yu Wenli one by one and said, "Eat, go to bed early when you're full, there is still a long way to go tomorrow." ”
Yu Wenli was bumpy on the tiger's back for an afternoon, and she was indeed very hungry. She picked the largest piece of roast meat and threw it to the tiger, then picked a large, round melon and ate it greedily.
Xu Wenlong's eyes were dull and his heart was heavy. The sudden disappearance of the lifeboat and signal stone, like a huge devil's claw, tightly grasped his heart, and he couldn't help but think wildly. He sat silently on the edge of the reef, tearing the roast meat piece by piece in his hand, chewing fruit without a bite in his mouth, sometimes looking at the jungle from afar, sometimes looking up at the starry sky and muttering to himself, completely as if he had gone mad and was in a trance.
When Yu Wenli saw it, she quickly put down the melon in her hand, touched Xu Wenlong's forehead, listened to his heartbeat, and then said with a straight face: "What's wrong with you?" I don't have a fever, and my heart is still beating, so why is it that I suddenly feel like I have lost my soul? Could it be that because you missed this chance to rescue, you will die alone on this island in the future? What's there to be afraid of? Isn't there a next time? Isn't there still me? Can't I accompany you? Ten years at most, maybe five, six, six, or seven years, when I grow up, I will definitely marry you reluctantly. Although I don't want to, I feel like I've fallen for you! ”
Xu Wenlong paused, and then said with a serious face: "You misunderstood, I am not afraid, and I will not be afraid, even if it is a person who will always be on this island." Eat quickly, go to bed early when you're full. After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Yu Wenli casually, and said as if nothing had happened: "Otherwise, tomorrow you and Xiaohua will go back to the 'Immortal Cave' first, and I will go to the other side of the mountain to have a look." If nothing is special, I'll be back soon. Of course, I'll send you back first, and I'm not in a hurry anyway. ”
Yu Wenli's face changed, she threw away the melon in her hand, and replied angrily, "You...... What do you mean? Let me be alone in the cave, while you are out and happy! Oh my God, you can say such an inhuman approach? You did such a miserable thing? No, a thousand won't work, ten thousand won't work! All in all, I must follow you, and I will follow you in heaven and hell. You don't want to get rid of me, not a minute or a second. Unless you don't want to see me again, and you won't see me again! ”
Xu Wenlong was speechless, only puffed out a pair of big eyes and looked at Yu Wenli blankly.
Yu Wenli blushed and met Xu Wenlong's gaze, snorting and panting and continued: "Let me warn you first, I'm not joking, I will definitely do what I say." If you dare to leave me alone and go to the other side of the mountain, hum ......"
When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help sighing, frowned and said helplessly, "Okay, it's okay to go together." But from tomorrow onwards, you can no longer run around on the little flowers, you have to follow me carefully step by step. Otherwise, I'll tie you back with rattan. ”
"Okay!" When Yu Wenli heard this, she narrowed her eyes and grinned, and said with Xu Wenlong on one side of her body, "As long as you don't drive me back and don't let me stay alone in the cave, just let me dance on Daoshan Mountain and walk in the sea of fire, I promise not to say half a 'no'." After all, you're the boss, and you're the owner of Lucky Island! Isn't it a floret? ”
