【Chapter 27】Kneel and beg for flowers and cow dung!
This is the 10th day of coming to the island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems that all the trajectories of life have been put on the right track, and the dying people from different parts of the world have also ushered in their first heavy rain here. And it was an extremely rare storm.
Perhaps the purpose of this storm was to test the fruits of their labor some time ago, to confirm whether they had the right to live in the wilderness.
If you don't really experience it, you can't understand the true meaning of things. The howling storm this night gave the confident Wang Xiaotie a big lesson in his life.
The 12 people barely slept all night, leaning on each other tightly and using each other's body temperature to keep warm. The night was so long, it was as if time had stood still, and all that was left was cold and torment.
The defensive shed built for firewood has long been overturned by the howling wind, and the neatly stacked firewood has also been blown everywhere. Even the camp they reinforced every day was shivering in the roaring torrential rain, as if it would collapse in the next second.
The fire that had been moved to the camp had long since been extinguished, and they had no dry firewood to watch the last trace of warm flames disappear in the endless night.
The surrounding walls, made of branches and leaves, were now like a sieve, and the wind squeezed in from all sides, taking away all the heat from the camp.
Fortunately, the roof has withstood the test of God and has not leaked. The walls were only exposed to a little wind, and all the rain was kept out.
What hit Wang Xiaotie the most was the camp address he carefully chosen. The sun-drenched beach is indeed very comfortable to lie on at night, warm and soft, like a big bed in a five-star hotel, which makes for a good rest.
But when it rains, the beach feels like hell. The sand that sucked up enough rain instantly became a tormenting devil in hell, and even when you were standing, you could clearly feel the heat of your body being sucked away from the soles of your feet.
Around the 12 hugging hoops for warmth, like an ancient ritual, sand ditches were dug by hand, and in them you could clearly see the rain flowing happily. It was a drainage ditch dug by Wang Xiaotie temporarily.
Wang Xiaotie, who has always been obscene, is hugging with women and men at the moment, and one of his hands is also tightly wrapped around Laura's thin waist. But I can no longer afford the slightest excitement and fantasy in my heart.
All he wanted now was that the damn storm would pass sooner rather than later, and that the camp that would shelter them from the rain would not fall apart.
In the early morning, a brilliant rainbow hung in the sky. The storm that had been tossed all night was finally over. The sun slowly rose above the sea level, and the moment they saw the sun, everyone, including Wang Xiaotie, roared excitedly. There were even people who shed tears.
It was the first time 12 people had gathered to watch the sunrise, even though the sun rose every day. The rising sun brought a hint of warmth to the group, driving away the tired look of last night's suffering. Everyone is like a new life, and they can't help but feel everything that the sunrise brings with their hearts.
……
Wang Xiaotie is ready to move! Before moving out, Wang Xiaotie made a deep self-examination of the team members who trusted him. The shadow of that night had not completely dissipated, so Wang Xiaotie's decision was immediately supported by everyone. Wang Xiaotie also set up the camp on the beach, which made a big cross in his mind! The beach is only suitable for tourists who come and leave in a hurry, and they need to survive for 1 month, obviously they were wrong in the first place.
After packing everything up, the group finally left the seaside where they had lived for 10 days. The first stop, of course, is at a freshwater source three miles away. That's where the survivors really choose to set up camp.
There are many, many things to look out for when setting up camp in the jungle. It is important to stay away from cliffs and rock faces, away from areas with dense vegetation, and find a flat and open area. Of course, you can also look for some naturally formed caves as a foothold. This is assumed that the cavern is safe enough and that there are no other creatures in it.
I searched for a whole circle near the water source. Wang Xiaotie did not find any places that met the criteria. The trees around here are just too dense. It's really hard to find an open field. Except near the rock wall, you can see a variety of plants as far as the eye can see.
"Let's put everything here first, let's all discuss it." Wang Xiaotie plans to hold an impromptu meeting, after all, this is not his business alone, and it is still necessary to solicit opinions. Even if he has become the default leader of these 12 people, it is only a temporary patchwork group. Filled with too much uncertainty.
"I've just looked at it and it's not a good idea to set up camp here. So I'm proposing that everyone disperse and look for new camp locations. We can focus on this place and then break into groups and explore in different directions. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, we will return here to assemble. ”
Wang Xiaotie's proposal was once again recognized. This is due to the fact that he used to scare these rookies, how terrible it was in the forest at night.
The grouping is very in line with Wang Xiaotie's mind, all the women rely on their natural advantages and take the initiative to stand by Wang Xiaotie's side, who makes him the person with the most survival knowledge here? The rest of the men's instincts split into two groups and began the real exploration.
This time is different from when Hong Kong landed on the island, in Wang Xiaotie's words, now they are equivalent to a group of backpackers, with enough water and food, and there is also a lot less psychological burden and inexplicable fear. After all, they've been living on the island for a while. This is a very important factor, this life experience has given enough cushion to all the foreshadowing, so that their uneasy mood becomes less anxious.
Wang Xiaotie walked in front with a thick wooden stick used to open the way. The four women followed behind with great ease. This is why they follow Wang Xiaotie with a dead face. Their captain, if nothing else, is absolutely obedient to their group of women.
Wang Xiaotie's heart was also dripping blood, not because he was distressed, but because he felt a deep sense of helplessness. Along the way, I have been constantly realizing myself in my heart: Lao Tzu is really self-inflicted, is it worth doing so hard for these four grapes that can be seen and eaten?
It's too late to say anything, and I've already turned into a ploughing ox, so let's finish plowing the land honestly! Or don't think about whether these four flowers will be planted in cow dung. I twisted my pants, which had been soaked by the residual rain, and pressed forward.
