Chapter 9: Miracles
Tao Yuan was carrying a backpack, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry or slow, but the speed of progress was by no means slow.
In front of the stone cave, a group of three or two people looked at his back and whispered.
"Hey, what do you think that guy named Tao Yuan does?"
"Well, I think he's a lot like a killer, the ruthless kind. ”
"Hey, no kidding, he saved two people's lives yesterday, such a person is by no means ruthless, I think it should be a little autistic. ”
"Anyway, I think that guy is very powerful, and I feel bad for a second to make eye contact with him. ”
"Let me tell you this, I'm the strongest boy on the street of Sanban, no one can withstand my three fists, I used to think that reasoning is the most boring and mentally retarded behavior, but if you face that guy Tao Yuan, I think it is necessary to be reasonable. ”
Sado leaned over and whispered:
"You say, the murderer mentioned at the airport could it be Tao Yuan?"
Belic shook his head and said:
"It's a strange feeling, I don't think he's bad, and I even think this person is being honest with himself in the simplest way. ”
Adolf combed his beard with a twig, and also participated in the chat, saying:
"To be honest, there are so many people, I will suspect a lot of objects, but there is no him in it, but I can't explain why. ”
Mixed with the subconscious mental activity, even the most cumbersome equations in the world cannot be deciphered.
About ten minutes after everyone got up, Belic began to organize everyone's survival work for the new day, after all, survival is the key.
Last night's heavy rain had left water in many rocky pits, so they didn't run out of fresh water for a while, so their main job was to find food.
In the beginning, they were confident.
Because no one believes that people can starve to death on the beach.
But an hour later, everyone gathered in one place, with a frown.
They were disappointed.
The beach is outrageously barren.
Not to mention crab scallops, even a single seaweed has not been seen.
A group of people complained on the beach, angry at God's abuse.
Sado smashed a stone into the sea, as if out of anger, and said:
"Any mud puddle in my hometown is more abundant than here, what's here? sand, seawater, oh my God, this is the poorest beach in the world. ”
Belic was also at a loss, he couldn't understand how there could be a beach where he couldn't even see a single shell, it was simply unimaginable.
"Hey, I can't explain it, but that's the way it is, we have to find a way to get food or we'll starve to death. ”
Vanessa, who takes care of Peter, is a graduate student in biology, and in her opinion, it is impossible and should not have such a beach that completely kills life, which goes against the rules of nature.
"What is the reason for the lack of life here? There must be a reason. ”
Vanessa thought that she thought that only by finding this reason could she really get them out of trouble.
Black Green, who was completely frightened last night, hadn't spoken since last night, probably feeling faceless, but at this time he participated in the chat and said in a weird tone:
"Hey, I'm talking guys, that Tao Yuan entered that terrible jungle early in the morning, and didn't stop on the beach at all, he didn't search the beach like we did!"
Everyone understood the implication of this statement.
Tao Yuan didn't check the beach, and went straight to the jungle to look for food, how did he know that there was no food to find on the beach? Does that mean that he has been to this beach before, and does it mean that the so-called promise object of the black shadow last night is Tao Yuan.
Does it mean that the mastermind of this disaster, or even the murderer, is this Tao Yuan?
The people were silent.
They couldn't help but suspect it, although they weren't sure, Tao Yuan had undoubtedly become the biggest suspect.
Adair frowned, arched his mouth, and said:
"Not to mention, this thing is terrifying to think about, the black shadow in the jungle last night is definitely a terrible guy, but Tao Yuan doesn't seem to be worried or scared at all, is it entirely because of bravery? To tell you the truth, I'd rather be hungry for two more days than set foot in that black jungle. ”
This bastard spoke what most people were thinking.
In addition to Ellie, who was saved by Tao Yuan, Adolf and Robert, father and daughter.
However, Ellie Jie, an introverted girl, really couldn't find the words to clear Tao Yuan's name, and even she felt that it was reasonable for everyone to be so suspicious, but she would never believe it.
But the old man, Adolf, whose beard had been neatly combed with branches, and who seemed to be in good spirits, spread his hands and said:
"Do you remember that throwing knife last night, do you remember the speed at which Tao Yuan went to save Ellie?"
A few people next to him nodded, they couldn't forget it, because that moment was too shocking.
Adolf continues:
"Then you should understand that if he wants to deal with us, he doesn't need a conspiracy at all, not at all. ”
This may not be evidence of whitewashing, but it makes it impossible for everyone to refute it.
Black Green didn't say anything more, but burrowed into the corner of the cave and closed his eyes.
Everything last night made him ashamed and ashamed to see people, but the strange thing was that he felt that this shame was given by Tao Yuan, if it wasn't for Tao Yuan's calm knife at that time, everyone wouldn't make fun of him, because everyone was scared stupid.
However, with Tao Yuan's comparison, he became the object of ridicule, and he still remembered that the night watchman whispered something last night, "trembling like a turtle", that kind of language, which made Green want to kill.
Captain John saw the depressed crowd and said in a loud voice:
"Okay, don't think about these things without evidence, what we have to think about is survival, food, we have to find a way to solve it. There are no animals, there are plants. We don't go deep into the jungle, we only look for wild vegetables at the edge of the jungle. Bellic, come, let's organize. ”
Belic nodded, and began to greet his two companions, Jones and Michael, and soon the group was on the edge of the jungle and began to look for anything they could eat.
Robert taught Rose to swim at the beach, and little Rose looked up and asked:
"Daddy, aren't we going to look for food?
Robert's big fat face shook, with doting tenderness, and said:
"No, someone will come back in the evening with food for us, and we won't go to the jungle, at least not now. ”
Rose nodded, continued to learn how to float on the beach, and after a while looked up and said:
"Dad, if that's the case, then you've really made a good deal. ”
Robert's face blossomed.
Tao Yuan walked in a world full of green.
The plants here are similar to those of the northern latitudes, but they are very different.
The difference is that the plants here are all very large, twice or even several times larger than the same kind of plants that Tao Yuan has seen, and under normal circumstances, only a high-oxygen environment can create such an ecology, for example, the air oxygen content in the Jurassic era was less than ten percent higher than that of modern times, but it created countless giant plants and animals.
Tao Yuan walked swaggeringly like this, not looking at any danger under his feet.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a crisp "click" from his calf.
Tao Yuan turned his head to look over, and saw a rice-long poisonous snake with a triangular head biting the side of his left leg, and it turned out that he accidentally stepped on the tail of this highly poisonous guy.
"Hey, this won't work for me!"
As he spoke, he wiped his hand, and the triangular head of the snake separated from his body.
Tao Yuan didn't pay attention to the snake's head that was still hanging on his calf, but picked up the snake's body, grabbed the edge of the snake's skin and pulled it hard, the snake's skin was completely separated from the body, and the purring internal organs were scattered, and it could be seen that the snake's intestines were still wrapped in an undigested animal, and I didn't know what kind of bird it was.
Beat the clean snake meat into a roll, wrap it in broadleaf and throw it into the backpack, and move on.
After about a few hundred meters, he came to a wide valley.
The trees in the valley are tall, which also makes them more distant from each other, so that the sunlight can finally shine through the foliage.
Tao Yuan, who walked all the way to the black and green scenery, finally saw emerald green and colorful wildflowers.
The sun shines on this primitive ecology, steaming an indescribable fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.
But for some reason, Tao Yuan had a faint uneasiness in his heart, and these uneasiness came from those blooming wildflowers.
Wildflowers are clustered and seen everywhere, and they vary in color.
However, it is also blue, but it seems to have some differences, but the human eye's ability to recognize colors is limited, and Tao Yuan's sense of difference in those flowers of the same color is completely intuitive.
Stepping on wildflowers and grass all the way, bypassing the difficult path, beside a ravine more than ten meters wide, Tao Yuan heard the sound of water.
And this ravine is almost the only place in the vicinity where people can still walk.
The rest of the area is already covered with plants, and I'm afraid that only flying insects can shuttle there unhindered.
A small stream more than two meters wide flows slowly out of this valley, reflecting in the sunlight like a silver chain.
Tao Yuan walked along the stream, walked quickly to the depths of the valley, and when he walked through a bend, Tao Yuan suddenly stopped, and his eyes reflected the colorful light.
"It's... Is it a miracle?"
