Chapter 263: Hope Disappointed
The waves kept coming up and down, and the cycle went back and forth, until I found a small hole in the beach, and hurriedly walked over and dug up the sand along the small hole.
The sister-in-law also followed: "What is it?" ”
That's when my target appeared, and an ivory mussel appeared on the pile of sand I had dug up.
"Ivory mussels! Husband, you're amazing! I always pick up some ready-made small fish and shrimp at low tide, how did you find the ivory mussel? ”
I threw the ivory mussel into the bamboo tube, "Come, you follow me, I will teach you how to find the ivory mussel." ”
The two of them walked along the beach, and then I found a small hole and hurriedly pointed out it to my sister-in-law.
"Momo, look! There are ivory mussels underneath such small holes. ”
I squatted down and reached out to dig up the sand, and my sister-in-law put the bamboo tube aside, tied the hem of the trench coat around her waist, and also squatted down to dig up with me.
Sure enough, a big ivory mussel emerged at the bottom of the sand pit and was drilling into the sand, and the sister-in-law reached out and pulled out the ivory mussel: "Look where you are going!" As he spoke, he put it in a bamboo tube.
After a while, the bamboo tube was full, and the sister-in-law cleaned the seafood she picked up in the seawater and filled half a tube of water.
"Let's go, let's go back!" I held out my hand to her, Momo put her hand in mine, and with the other hand, she held the bamboo tube and walked towards the forest.
After working for half a day, I was a little panting, and my breathing became heavier, Momo looked at me with concern and asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
"It's okay, I just feel a little tired, maybe I've been lying down for too long, and my body is weak."
Momo helped me into the forest and walked to the shack.
"You go in and lie down for a while, and I'll get you something to eat."
"I'd better sit for a while, I'll be ruined if I lie down any longer." I walked over to a nearby section of fallen dead wood and sat down.
Momo put down the bamboo tube, picked up some dry firewood and dead leaves around and walked to the open space next to the shack.
Only then did I realize that in the middle of the clearing next to the shack, there were some stones, stacked on top of each other.
Momo put the dead leaves in the middle of the stones, took out a lighter in the pocket of his windbreaker and lit the dead leaves, and then added some dry firewood.
After doing all this, she bent down into the shack and looked, and as my sister-in-law moved, my eyes kept falling on her sister-in-law, following her.
She turned to me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I shifted my position, and she sat next to me on the dead wood, put her arm around me, and rested her head gently on my shoulder.
"Do you think that's not something I'm supposed to do?" She smiled.
"People always change with the change of environment, three days ago you were both unconscious, I was frightened at the time, after calming down, I felt that I couldn't sit still, I had to do something, in addition to looking for food every day, I spent all my time spelling SOS, hoping that someone would find out."
I held her in my arms and tightened my arms, and the two of us sat quietly next to each other, looking at the fire not far away.
I don't want to tell her about my time travel to ancient times after I fell into a coma, Momo was my concubine at that time, and my sister-in-law would inevitably have no guilt in her heart if she knew.
The heat kept coming out of the bamboo tube, and she stood up and walked over.
"How's it going to look at my craft? It's natural, green, and unpolluted seafood," she said and winked at me.
I smiled and walked over with my sister-in-law, who reached out and tore off a few leaves from the bushes next to her, put them on her hands, and took the bamboo tube on the fire.
The water in the bamboo tube was boiling, she put the bamboo tube on the ground, folded a few branches next to it and made chopsticks and handed it to me: "Taste it!" ”
I took it, fished out an ivory mussel from the bamboo tube, and sucked the mussel meat into my mouth.
"Yes, it's fresh, and there's a hint of saltiness."
"Because of the sea."
Momo poured some of the seafood into another bamboo tube and left it for Momo, and the two of us ate the rest.
The sister-in-law picked up the bamboo tube, and we went into the shack one after the other to check Momo's condition.
Momo was still lying there unconsciously, and the sister-in-law squatted down and shouted softly: "Momo, Momo!" Momo didn't react.
"You've been like this for a few days."
The two of us worked together to feed Momo some mussel meat, and the sister-in-law took a bamboo tube filled with water next to her and slowly fed Momo some to drink.
She handed it to me again and motioned for me to drink.
"Where did you get the clear water?" I know that on a deserted island surrounded by seawater, clear water is precious.
"The rain that I received when it rained one night, I have almost drunk it in the past few days, and there is only this one."
I took two sips and handed it to her: "Drink some, your lips are chapped." ”
My sister-in-law took two sips and put the bamboo tube aside, and I looked at the side of the bamboo tube, where there was a dagger and a hemp rope that had not yet been knitted.
I suddenly heard a roar in my ears, and hurriedly asked my sister-in-law for confirmation: "Momo, do you hear any sound?" ”
Momo listened intently: "Yes, it's like the sound of a helicopter." ”
The two of us got up and quickly got out of the tent and ran towards the beach.
We ran, looking up at the sky, the roar getting louder and louder, and a helicopter came into view.
The sister-in-law took off her red trench coat and waved it in her hand, and we ran to the giant SOS and shouted at the helicopter: "We are here!" We're here! ”
The helicopter circled in the air and did not notice us, getting farther and farther away from us......
The sun shone on my face, and I sighed softly, wanting to turn over and move, and my body, which had not moved all night, could clearly hear the sound of bones clicking and changing.
It's just this slight movement that woke up the sister-in-law next to me. She looked at me sleepily in my arms, then smiled at me with the corners of her mouth raised.
"Did you sleep well last night?" I gently brushed the dead leaves off her head.
"Well, it's good, I really want to be with you like this all the time." Warm feelings fell between us, and if we weren't on a desert island now, I would have thought we were vacationing in an exotic place.
I was amused by this thought, and then, I hugged my sister-in-law tightly, and the two of them were tired of lying together for a while, and then they wanted to get up, and my sister-in-law also stood up with me, and stretched my muscles and bones against the early morning sun, and I looked at her beautiful face with some fascination.
On the desert island, there is only the sound of the wind and the sound of the waves, and nothing else. I looked around and let out a long sigh, I don't know how long this endless life of security will end, will I have to be here for the rest of my life?
Can you escape? Do you want to end up here? Is it buried here at the end? "Tian Liang, Tian Liang!" This urgent call woke everyone up.
My sister-in-law and I hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, but saw Tian Liang lying on the beach, looking like he was dead, but his chest was still rising and falling slightly.
