Tang Xun turned around and saw Yang Congyi sitting up and looking at him.

Seeing him smile again, "Brother Tang, are you okay?" ”

Tang Xun put down his half-inch foot again, and did not turn back, but replied: "I'm fine, thank you Brother Yang, otherwise I will sink into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Yang Congyi looked at the single clothes on his body, and then looked at Tang Xun, who was neatly dressed, rubbed his face and said: "I should thank Brother Tang, if you didn't save me regardless of the danger, I wouldn't have been pulled into the water." Where is this, does Brother Tang know? After saying that, he got up and turned his head to look around.

Tang Xun smiled: "I just woke up not long ago, and I haven't had time to see it, and I don't know where this is." ”

I was a little surprised to hear this, but I didn't say anything more, and walked towards the sea.

The sail that saved the lives of the two of them was on the beach at one end and still soaking in the sea at the other, Yang Congyi bent down to pick up the log, and wanted to drag the sail out of the sea, but it was very laborious, so he shouted: "Brother Tang, come and do me a favor to drag it up, maybe it will be useful." ”

When Tang Xun heard this, he turned around and walked towards him.

In a short time, the two of them dragged the entire sail two zhang wide and more than one zhang long to the shore and put it away.

"Alright, let's do it for now. Since Brother Tang hasn't explored this place yet, let's go and see what kind of place this is and if we can go back. After speaking, Yang Congyi walked forward along the beach.

Tang Xun didn't speak, just followed aside.

Thinking of the scene where they were at the top of the mast yesterday, Tang Xun was embarrassed, but fortunately, Yang Congyi didn't mention it.

The two of them didn't say anything, and walked along the beach, not far from the beach, on the coast, there was a dense forest, they didn't know the situation, and they didn't dare to approach easily.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yang Congyi looked back and saw that the place where they left had been blocked by the forest, which showed that the road they were walking in a quarter of an hour was arcangular, not a straight coastline.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, and looking back again, Yang Congyi knew that the arc of this coastline was biased in the same direction, and it did not sway from side to side. He silently calculated, sketching the shape of the coastline in his mind, and Tang Xun quietly accompanied him.

Half an hour later, Yang Congyi found that the coastline was still in the same direction.

At this time, Yang Congyi had a guess, where they were at this time was the top of a peninsula, or a complete island? The sand was soft on the beach, and they walked slowly, not too far, and he was not sure what the place was.

After walking for a while, Yang Congyi was sketching the terrain in his heart, when he suddenly heard Tang Xun exclaim: "Isn't that the place where we left?" ”

Yang Congyi looked up, there were folded sails on the beach not far away, as well as his clothes, and his face suddenly looked ugly.

"Brother Tang, I'm afraid it's not a good place for us to come, this is a small circular island, if I don't expect it badly, the distance across this island won't be more than five miles."

After hearing this, Tang Xun suddenly became relaxed, and said with a smile: "Wuli, then this island is not too small." Now that we're done, let's go find something to eat. ”

Yang Congyi frowned slightly, the island is not good news, seeing that Tang Xun didn't seem to care, he explained: "Brother Tang, there is no river on the island within a radius of only five miles, so whether you can find fresh water depends on whether there is rainwater in the low-lying places in the middle of the island, but according to the types of trees, this is a low-latitude area, and the light is strong, so it basically can't hold rainwater." And just now we went around the island, have you ever found anything other than sea water outside the island? Nothing. This means that the island is far from the mainland. A small island far away from the mainland and without fresh water cannot be inhabited, and if no one lives, this small island has no contact with the outside world......"

He analyzed so much in one breath, but saw that Tang Xun was looking at him with a strange look, and immediately asked, "Brother Tang, don't you think this is a dead place?" ”

Who knows, but listened to Tang Xun's indifferent reply: "So what?" ”

Yang Congyi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Tang Xun would ask such a thing. So he replied angrily: "How? We're either going to die here or we're going to die right here! ”

"Die or not, let's talk about it later, find something to fill my stomach first, I'm very hungry." Tang Xun smiled and walked towards the woods three or four feet away.

Isn't Tang Xun Mo stupid in the water? Yang Congyi couldn't understand his performance just now and now, it must be a disease or a disease in his head.

"Brother Yang, come over quickly, the forest is so big, hurry up and find something to eat." Tang Xun turned around and saw Yang Congyi standing in a daze, so he shouted at him to go over and let him go into the forest alone, he didn't dare.

"How can we go into the woods empty-handed, and wait until I am dressed and find a stick to take advantage of before we go in." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he walked back to the place and put on his clothes.

They searched the sails and found nothing with iron, so they had to untie all the ropes on them and take them with them, which was probably the only tool they had brought.

Before entering the forest, they broke two strong branches at the edge of the forest, and broke off the branches and leaves, making sticks that they could hold in their hands.

The trees on the island grow very tall and dense, not to mention ten zhang, five or six zhang high trees abound, so that the sunlight under the forest does not shine, naturally there are no small trees, only some shady-loving low shrubs and herbaceous plants.

After entering the woods, the two walked directly to the middle of the island, all the way forward, and the direction remained the same, so they walked uphill.

After climbing a small steep slope, Yang Congyi said: "Brother Tang, this must be a volcanic island, high in the middle and low on all sides, the lake and depression are estimated to be missing, there is no fresh water, and we will have to die here in a few days." ”

Tang Xun smiled: "What, are you afraid of death?" ”

Yang Congyi said as he walked: "Just kidding, you're not afraid of death when you're young, I haven't lived enough, but unfortunately, I can't go to many places I haven't been to anymore, and I can't do a lot of things I want to do." Unwilling! ”

Tang Xun smiled: "This is fate, we have to accept fate." ”

As he continued to walk up, his feet slipped and he fell straight back.

Yang Congyi, who was walking a few steps behind him, didn't think about it, grabbed his wrist and lifted him up.

When he stood firm, he let go of his wrist and said, "It's slippery in the woods, be careful under your step." ”

Tang Xun's ears suddenly turned red, and the next moment, his whole face turned red.

Although he turned around, this startled Yang Congyi, who found something unusual. There were many questions for a while, what's wrong with Tang Xun, is he really sick? It's not like ah, the way he blushes and turns around, it looks like he's shy, he looks white, but he Yang Congyi doesn't have this hobby. When I thought of this, I felt a chill in my heart.

The two did not speak after that, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Half an hour later, the two reached the highest point of the island.

At the top is a flat land with a radius of thirty or forty zhang, and the trees grow a little messy, and there are many types.

Tang Xun found a green strip of fruit here, he didn't know what it was, and took it to Yang Congyi for identification.

Yang Congyi was overjoyed when he saw that thing, and immediately tore off the skin and swallowed it into his stomach in a few bites, seeing that Tang Xun's saliva was about to flow out.

I only heard him explain: "This is a banana, a fruit from the south, which can be eaten." There are also in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many in Guangzhou and Qiongzhou, but this thing is easy to break, and it will rot in less than three or five days after picking it. With this thing, we can live on the island for a while. ”

When Tang Xun heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately ran towards the place where the fruit was picked, and shouted: "Brother Yang, come and see, there are a lot of them here." ”

Yang Congyi naturally knew that the banana tree was not a single tree, and since there was one on the island, there must be one, but he felt that Tang Xun was a little strange, so he didn't go over, and looked around on it to see if he could find anything else.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before he found several other tropical fruits and fruits besides bananas, and it seemed that there were quite a few edible fruits on the island, and there would be no problem surviving them for a while.

But then the question arises, since you won't starve to death here, do you want to die of old age here? It's a terrible thing to think about, such a small island, two people have to live here for decades, how boring it must be, how boring, maybe it won't be long before they go crazy. You still have to find a way to leave.

Yang Congyi climbed to the highest place, climbed the top of the tallest tree, and looked around at the whole island with his eyes open.

It's really a round island, it's very round, and such a round island can only be formed by a volcanic eruption and the cooling of magma. This island is in the sea, and there is no land or island around it, which shows that this island is the result of multiple eruptions of submarine volcanoes, which can also explain why the center of the island is a flat land, and the soil layer is deep and fertile, it must be after the formation of the island, the crater under the foot has erupted, so much volcanic ash can be left.

Since this island is formed by multiple eruptions of an undersea volcano, it takes a huge amount of energy to erupt a volcano many times, and it is by no means an accidental act, it must be the movement of plates, squeezing each other, providing enough energy for the eruption.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, the waters of the Bay of Bengal are just within the range of the Indian Ocean plate, and the Indochina Peninsula on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal is located on the Eurasian plate.

Thinking of this, Yang Congyi happened to see the sun rising, which gave him confidence again. After so long of dawn, the sun must have been carried out by the mountains to the east, which confirms from another angle that the east side of the island must be the mainland, and it is not far away.

"Brother Tang, I have good news for you!" Yang Congyi shouted excitedly.

"Brother Yang, I want to tell you a secret!" Tang Xun was also excited under the tree.
