Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Cave in the Late Night to Find Food
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, and just as I was thinking about it, the two sisters suddenly came back and saw them with wet clothes in their hands, and I realized that maybe they had gone to the side to wash their clothes.
I told them not to act like this in the future, and told them that we had found traces of the wild man, and that we had given the fruit to the two sisters to eat.
When the two sisters heard about the wild man, their eyes suddenly showed those trance looks, I knew that when they thought of the wild man, they would not have any good opinions, after all, we were watching the movie about the wild man together,
"Brother-in-law, do you think those people will eat people?"
I heard Momo say this to me. I didn't know what to say to him for a moment. Because I don't know what the wild people on this desert island are, and I don't know anything about eating people or not.
I shook my head, and then looked at my wife next to me, she seemed to be thinking about something, and from her expression, she was probably worried about what harm those wild people would do to us.
I told the two sisters not to go out alone in the future, after all, they are two women, and I dare not imagine what will happen to them if they meet those wild people.
In order to strengthen the defense around the tent, the three of us and the fat man and the thin man found a lot of thick and thin tree trunks nearby, and prepared to make a fence around the tent, in case those can come to us suddenly, although these fences don't play much role for us, but I think it should be more or less useful, we only leave an exit for these fences, once those can also be close to the tent, we can only enter through that exit, so the rest of us is to guard that exit.
By nighttime, the three of us will take turns on duty, so it should be safer. After checking the fences, it was getting late in the night, and a few of us started a fire and began to bake it next to it. While chatting and eating the fruits picked during the day, I instructed those people to keep the seeds in the fruits.
I wanted to plant these seeds next to this tent, thinking that if there was a chance that those seeds would actually germinate, we would be able to survive better on this desert island in the future.
The fat man looked at me suspiciously, "Are you sure these things can grow fruit, and even if they do, it will take two or three years." Hear the fat man say this. Several people around them instantly fell silent.
I know that when they hear the word two or three years, they must be very disappointed in their hearts, after all, on this desert island, they will not be able to get out for a while, if they really want to stay on this desert island for a few years, I don't know what a few of us will become in the future.
I don't know if it's useful, but we're going to prepare for the worst anyway. I can only say these words to comfort them, after all, I really don't know when we will be able to leave this desert island.
Either way, we have to make some plans to survive. Seeing that the night was already dark, I asked Momo and my wife to hurry to the tent to rest. After all, I had been on night duty all night last night, and the thin man offered to come on duty tonight, and he would be on duty tonight, so the fat man and I found a tree trunk and began to lean against the tree to prepare for rest.
I saw the fat man leaning against the tree and soon began to snore, while I listened to his undulating snoring on the rock, and became more and more unable to sleep, watching the thin man yawn on the side. I offered to let him rest first, and then he would take over from me in the second half of the night.
Anyway, I couldn't sleep because of the fat man's snoring. The thin man leaned against the tree and soon fell asleep, and it was evident that the fat man's snoring did not affect him at all. Seeing that the two men were sleeping soundly, I was not sleepy at all, and the fat man's snoring followed more and more loudly. The fire slowly became smaller and smaller, and in a short time it turned into a pile of ashes.
The wind blew in the night, and people shivered several times in a row. As I was curled up on the trunk of the tree, suddenly a piece of clothing was draped over me, and I looked back to see that it was Momo.
I took off my clothes, and looked at the clothes, it didn't seem to be Momo and his wife's, and I didn't know where the two of them found the clothes, so I asked Momo about the origin of the clothes on Momo's body, Momo said that he and his wife found it when they were washing clothes on the edge of the island, and thought that maybe they would be able to use it, so they took it back.
After all, on this desert island, everything becomes very precious. Momo saw that I was shivering from the cold, and took the clothes from my hands again and draped them over my shoulders for me. I looked at Momo looking at me with a pair of bright eyes, thinking to myself, why is this girl not sleepy in the middle of the night?
"Momo. Why did you come out again in the middle of the night, go back to sleep. ”
I whispered this to Momo, for fear of waking them up while they were asleep.
"Brother-in-law, I, I'm a little hungry, can you take me and find something to eat."
Hearing Momo whisper this to me, I thought to myself that Momo had eaten half a pack of compressed biscuits that day, and my wife and I, at least half of the canned food, did not eat much when we ate the fruit at night.
When I thought of this, I felt a little distressed, thinking that with the existence of these two people, I couldn't swagger back to bring back those food for them to eat, it was really very inconvenient.
I slowly got up and stood up, "Let's go, brother-in-law will take you to find something to eat." ”
After saying this, Momo and I left the tent lightly. Before leaving the tent, I looked at the fat man and the thin man, who were still sleeping soundly, and thought that they would not wake up for a while, so I left with Momo, holding Momo's hand while walking towards the place where we had stored our food.
The night still lit up the whole desert island a little brightly, although there was some cold wind blowing on my body and some cold, but with the clothes that Momo gave me, I didn't feel too cold, and soon we arrived at the secret base where we stored our food.
The two of us looked around, thinking that no one would come in the middle of the night, so we climbed down the trunk of the tree to the hole, and soon I touched a box of cans and handed them to Momo, asking him to eat some cans, and Momo took the cans and fed me first.
"Brother-in-law, you can eat some too." After I took a bite of the can, I asked Momo to let him eat the rest himself. I'm not very hungry after all. Momo quickly ate the rest of the can.
"Brother-in-law, how long do you think we're going to stay on this island? Now we still have to be with those people, and I feel so inconvenient. ”
Listening to Momo say this to me in the dark hole, I didn't know how to answer her question.
