Chapter 539: The Rest of the Lonely Island
The red sun is rising, the sun is shining, the golden light reflects half of the sky, and also reflects the sea that is as flat as a mirror like satin. A brown seabird spread its wide wings and hovered and chirped low in the golden sea...... Suddenly, the flying seabird flapped its wings, fell vertically like an iron top, plunged headlong into the sea, and then resurfaced, and flew swiftly with a small silver fish in its mouth, and rushed to a towering cliff that rose from the ground, and hid in a cave to enjoy its delicious breakfast.
On the back of the cliffs, there are large expanses of lush forest. Giant trees in the forest towered into the sky, and the dense branches and foliage were stacked on top of each other, covering the sky so tightly that sunlight could barely penetrate it. Countless vines of different thicknesses crisscrossed the giant trees, tangled and tangled, and held each other together like spider webs. Under the trees, there are bushes and flowers, moss and lichens, and flowers everywhere, covering every bare ground. Birds of all sizes and colors leaped and chirped and chased each other among the foliage, paying no attention to the occasional roar or two of unknown beasts.
A small river meanders like a serpent through the woods, clatters merrily to the sea, and slams into a pool the size of a basketball court on the black reef at the mouth of the sea. The waterhole is flanked by golden sand as far as the eye can see. The yellow sand on the beach is soft and smooth, and there are not even a single crab footprints, which is probably due to the low tide. In the direction of the forest, there are tall coconut trees growing on the beach, and the trees are full of large, round coconuts. Below, there are ravines and cratered reefs that gently lead to the depths of the sea.
One hundred and ten meters on one side of the waterhole, there is a rocky reef with many people and horns, and a cluster of newly slender lifeboats is obliquely inserted on it. Although the stern of the lifeboat is high and the cabin is pierced, the rest of the body is basically intact. There is no breakage, no serious deformation, and there is not even a trace of crack around the hole, which shows the uniqueness and exquisiteness of its material and manufacturing process.
On the beach not far from the lifeboat, there were two people lying flat, two people who did not move at all. One was a man whose age was unrecognizable, his hair was disheveled, his eye sockets were deep, and his naked upper body was dark and shiny, and covered with blood. The other was a half-sized girl with her eyes closed and her face haggard and pale. They have been lying quietly, maintaining their usual posture and continuing to lie down, from the whiteness of the east to the rising of the sun, from the morning mist to the dissipation of the clouds, as if immersed in a sweet sleep, unwilling to wake up for a long time.
The sun was getting higher and brighter. The waves crashed against the reef and the sand, and the birds of the forest sang and sang in harmony. The coconut trees danced softly in the sea breeze, rustling and singing, and occasionally with a "bang" sound, a large round and heavy coconut fell.
Suddenly, the swarthy man felt excited, and his outstretched fingers followed as if reflexively, then twice, three times...... Finally, the legs trembled slightly and curled up slightly...... Finally, he opened his eyes, slowly and slowly, and looked at everything in front of him with a dull gaze......
"Sand...... It's sand...... Tree...... And the tree...... We are saved...... We're on the island...... Hahaha......" The swarthy man rolled his eyes to look up, looked down, and finally grabbed a handful of yellow sand and laughed. It's just that the laughter is very sad and sad, especially dry and hoarse, like a night owl. After laughing, his face changed again, and he struggled to get up with all his might, shaking his head and shouting anxiously, "Wenli, Wenli, where are you ......" and when he found that the person he was looking for was not far away, he immediately moved his body, used his hands and feet together, and crawled towards her with difficulty and difficulty......
Xu Wenlong struggled to climb up to Yu Wenli, picked her up from her unconscious, and called out loudly with tears: "Wenli, Wenli, wake up!" Wenli: We are saved! We're on the island! Wake up, open your eyes and look at the island you've been thinking about day and night......" He called as he stretched out his hand to pat and slap Yu Wenli's face, press and pinch it, trying to wake her up in grief.
Finally, Yu Wenli, who was paralyzed, opened her eyes miraculously, looked at Xu Wenlong at a loss and said, "What's wrong with you?" Are you crying? Why are you crying? Am I dead? Or are you dead? Are we both dead? Alas, it's better to die and not have to suffer anymore......"
"No, no, no, you're not dead, I'm not dead, we're not dead! We floated to the island and were saved! Xu Wenlong cried with joy, knelt in his arms and hugged Yu Wenli and whimpered. His voice was hoarse and extremely weak, but the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe rekindled his infinite hope and confidence, and although he narrowly fell to the ground several times, he still tried his best to hold Yu Wenli, as if she would disappear from the ground if she missed. Yes, with this little girl in the wind and rain and waves, through hardships, drifting together for more than half a month, just at the last moment of getting out of danger to tide over the difficulties, but failed to support it, but isn't it great pain and sorrow?
Yu Wenli lowered her eyelids weakly, and said with a look of distrust: "Really? But I still feel wobbly, like sitting on a lifeboat. But thanks to the Bodhisattva, the storm has finally passed, the frightening waves have disappeared, and we can ...... again Again...... By the way, what about the fish? Is the fish we caught still there? ”
With a bang, a flock of small birds whistled overhead, flapping their wings and flying towards the sun.
"See? The bird went out to sea in search of food. Xu Wenlong pointed to the flock of birds in the distance, turned around with Yu Wenli, pointed to the layers of woods and mountains and said, "Look, the lush forests, the undulating mountains, and the cheerful bird calls, the faint sound of running water!" Believe it, you should believe it now! ”
Yu Wenli's pupils slowly dilated, her eyes gradually brightened, and a trace of obvious surprise, surprise, and ecstasy quietly rose on her pale face...... Suddenly, she screamed in her mouth, reached out and pinched Xu Wenlong's chest......
"Ouch......" Xu Wenlong let go of his hands under severe pain, left Yu Wenli on his back.
Yu Wenli fell on the beach, giggled and got up again, and couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of Xu Wenlong, who collapsed to the ground, leaning down and kissing him frantically on the face and forehead. While kissing, he got carried away and shouted, "Oh my God, we're really ashore!" We are truly saved! We don't have to wait at sea anymore to die! What a joy! What a joy! I'm going to name this island 'Lucky Island'! ”
"Okay, okay, stop messing around." Xu Wenlong woke up and was still dizzy, his physical strength had not yet recovered, and he couldn't even lift his hands, so he could only shake his head to the left and turn right, trying his best to avoid Yu Wen's crazy move, and kept stopping her, "Take a good rest, I don't have the strength!" But that's a pretty good name! ”
Yu Wenli would ignore him, still kissing him on the face like a chicken pecking rice, making a fuss. After a long while, she laughed, fell down from Xu Wenlong's body, stretched her limbs and lay flat on the soft sand, looking at the sky and panting and said: "What a beautiful blue sky, it's like being scrubbed by someone!" And the sunshine, and the white clouds, and the sun that has never been so kind! Lo and behold, it's nodding and smiling at me! Well, beautiful Lucky Island, charming Lucky Island, I love it! ”
"Yes, yes," Xu Wenlong replied with deep sympathy, "everything on this island is so beautiful, everything is so new, it seems like a fairy tale world in a dream!" Alas, then again, I should have thought a long time ago that we were almost close to the island, that is, we were going to land! ”
Yu Wenli asked in surprise, "What did you say?" How do you know we're approaching the island? Where did you know we were going to land? ”
Xu Wenlong replied in annoyance: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai accompanied us for five days and was reluctant to leave. It wasn't until two days ago that they suddenly said goodbye. Why? Isn't it because you are far away from the deep sea and have reached the shore? It is the edge of this beautiful and charming island where we lie now. It's a pity that in the last thirty or forty kilometers, we almost lost our lives! ”
"yes, it's unlucky!" Yu Wenli sighed with palpitations. Suddenly, she leaned up from the beach, looked at Xu Wenlong with a serious face and said, "Island? Base? Is this the pirate base we're desperately trying to find? This is great, tomorrow we can go and save Sister Shiqi! ”
Xu Wenlong sighed, shook his head and replied gloomily: "Impossible! Judging by all indications, this should be an untouched primitive island, because there is no trace of human processing. This is absolutely impossible for a paramilitary base with a large number of personnel and complex equipment! ”
"That'...... And what about the other side of the island? The island is so big, maybe the pirate base is on the other side of the island? ”
"It's possible, but there's not much hope." Xu Wenlong twisted his eyebrows and replied, "But when we settle down, I will definitely go and check it out." ”
Yu Wenli's eyes darkened, she collapsed on the beach weakly, and muttered, "But...... But ......"
"I know what you mean, but what's the solution?" Xu Wenlong wiped the tears that flowed down, endured the grief in his heart and said: "It's all come to this point, we can only try to survive first, and then try to find a way to get in touch with the outside world, and then we will have the opportunity to find and rescue your poor sister Shiqi." ”
"Boat! Lifeboat! Where are our lifeboats? How did we end up on this island for no apparent reason? Yu Wenli, who had just lay down, screamed, got up from the ground again, and looked straight at Xu Wenlongdao.
"Over there, on the rock!" Xu Wenlong tried his best to raise his right hand and replied by pointing to the reef that abruptly rose not far away.
Yu Wenli looked at it, couldn't help but gasp, looked at the disemboweled lifeboat on the reef in horror, and her face was pale and speechless for a long time.
Xu Wenlong said with a wry smile: "After our lifeboat was lifted by the last huge wave, it happened to hit this reef. Fortunately, the position of the smash was slightly off, and the middle was the rear compartment of the boat. If we had drifted a little further, we would have fallen not on the soft sand, but on the rough sea. ”
Yu Wenli shuddered, hurriedly took her eyes off the lifeboat, and asked tremblingly, "What ......about it?" And what about our backpacks? And the coats, they are all gone, have they been swept away by the sea? ”
"Probably, the necklace I bought for your sister Shiqi was also swept away. Including your light shoes, you'll have to walk barefoot in the future. Xu Wenlong sighed and said, and quickly reached out and touched his waist. Thank goodness the dagger is still there and it was not lost due to the violent impact!
Yu Wenli let out an "oh", turned around and lay on her back, staring blankly at the rising sun, with a strange and complicated look on her face.
