Chapter 16: In a Bottle
Looking at Gao Xuan, who had landed on the ground, the crowd was excited. Yuexiu and Hengken rushed to Gao Xuan, and the two of them lifted Gao Xuan up and threw him into the air, shouting "Long live" every time he threw it. Gao Xuan's return brought a ray of sunshine to everyone in the darkness and a glimmer of hope in the confusion. even gave Zeng Shunquan a reassurance: If Gao Xuan can come back, then Haoying can also come back!
The evening twilight gradually fell, and everyone was like the stars and the moon, hugging Gao Xuan, and happily walking towards the natural gate. The hardships and troubles of the past few days seem to have been thrown out of the clouds by everyone, and everyone asked long and short questions, and the topics one after another made Gao Xuan a little overwhelmed.
It turned out that after Gao Xuan stepped into the air, he was instantly swept into the air by the wind. In the wind, he suddenly felt that he was no longer himself, as if he had become a part of this air current, and he did not feel his body at all. Since he had not been anesthetized beforehand, he remained conscious throughout the fluttering. He vaguely felt that after passing through a cave with the wind, he drifted into a wide space. At this point, the wind gradually weakened, and soon the uproar stopped. Gao Xuan then slowly landed in a strange land. The land in front of him is like an island: Gao Xuan's feet are on the beach, and the sea is in front of him. In the distance, the water and the sky meet, and the smoke and waves are vast. Behind him are mountains and peaks, and the trees are high and dense. To the left and right is the coastline, straight and long, and there is no end in sight as far as the eye can see. This may be a vast desert island, and the island should be uninhabited. When Gao Xuan thought about it, the feeling of loneliness and fear hit him deeply, and he asked himself, what can I do? Survive on an island, no food, no fresh water, no tools, no fire... What do you want, how do you survive, how do you survive? He wanted to cry without tears, but in the face of the reality in front of him, he could only cry out helplessly! Since there is no other way, it has to take one step, one step: first of all, survival in the wild is considered how to settle down and how to defend oneself. You have to have a place to live, and you have to have weapons for self-defense. With this in mind, we immediately set about getting ready. He knew that there were two kinds of weapons to look for: a stone and a stick. He first found a stronghold on a large, flat rocky ground, and then found some random rocks to build around the rock. In front of him, he didn't dare to go deep easily, for fear of potential danger. I had to pick up some branches, rattans, sticks, etc. at the edge of the forest. From the pile of sticks, he chose a stick to throw aside, and used the remaining sticks and rattan to tie a small factory shed that could only accommodate himself to lie down, left the branches on the roof of the shed, and then found some thatch to spread evenly on the branches, and still used rattan to tie these thatches tightly one by one. In this way, a small factory shed that can shelter from the wind and rain is built. Then he took the stick that had been thrown aside and waved it twice, and when he felt that it was very convenient, he left it outside the shed, and used it as his own weapon. Settle down, the matter of self-defense is done, and then you have to find a way to build a fire. If you have a fire, you can use it to light up at night, to warm up on cold nights, to barbecue food, and to scare wild beasts. But if you want to make a fire, where does the fire come from? He remembered that when he was a child playing with his friends in the mountains, he used stones to beat stones to make fire for fun, so he imitated cats and tigers, and concocted the same method. Pick up two hard white stones and a handful of dry grass, pile them on the ground, raise the bottom of the haystack, and rub and beat them under the haystack with the two stones. After a while, there was a faint commotion, then a trace of green smoke, and finally bursts of sparks, which ignited the dry grass, and the fire, and so on. Looking at the shack and the bonfire, Gao Xuan's heart welled up with a hint of sweetness in bitterness.
Now that we've cleaned up the factory shed and campfire, the next task is to find fresh water to drink and food to satisfy our hunger. Seawater is saltwater, everyone knows it; It is also common knowledge that the water that flows down from the mountains is generally freshwater. However, looking at the clear stream flowing down from the mountain, Gao Xuan didn't dare to go to get water to drink immediately. Because he knew that some water had flowed through some mineral layers, and some had dissolved a large amount of toxic elements into the water, so those streams were clear and translucent, and seemed to be quite clean, but they were actually highly poisonous, and if they tried casually, they would be fatal. So how can you be sure that the water is not toxic? First of all, he has to observe whether there is plankton in the water, such as fish and shrimp, and if there is, he is half relieved. But it's not enough, because some toxins can only poison certain types of organisms, and what can poison and kill people is not necessarily toxic to fish. Therefore, it depends on whether there are animals on the mountain to drink, if there are animals to drink, then Gao Xuan can take water with confidence. According to these methods, Gao Xuan finally found drinking water. As for food, if it is a large island, it should be everywhere, there are shrimps, crabs, snails and mussels in the shallow water and on the beach, and there are birds and animals in the mountains, wild fruits and wild vegetables. Solving one's food is nothing to worry about.
With this, it is no longer a problem for a person to survive on this desert island for a period of time, as long as he is not harmed by external forces. If you can survive, the next thing is to wait for rescue, and once a ship sails by offshore, it is the hope of salvation.
After calming down, Gao Xuan lay down in the factory shed. He carefully recalled what had happened before: how could this damn wind be so strong, and suddenly swept itself out of the great northwest of China into the ocean, and landed on this desert island where it was. Only in an instant, the real estimate is not how far it has been blown away. With its strong momentum, it is no wonder that the more than 300 fighters have mysteriously disappeared. Thinking of this, Gao Xuan's heart suddenly clicked: they were all swept away by the same wind, so did the more than 300 missing soldiers also fall on this island? It would be nice if they were all here! If you are together, as long as you put in a little more effort, you will definitely be able to find them. If you find them and find a way out of the predicament together, it will be a great achievement! Gao Xuan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Excited, he realized at this moment that the idea of sitting and waiting for help was too stupid, and he had to take action, take the initiative, and find those missing soldiers first, which is a practical way.
Although Gao Xuan is not highly educated, he is by no means a reckless person. Cunning rabbit three holes, he understands this truth. Therefore, before he set out, he not only did not destroy the shed he had built, but also strengthened it. The fire was not extinguished, but a lot of dry wood was added to the fire in the hope that it would burn for a long time and leave the fire behind. He believed that it was best if he found the soldiers, and if he didn't, he would still have his own place to stay when he came back.
Everything was arranged, and Gao Xuan carried the wooden stick and left. He did not dare to go deep into the mountains and dense forests, he knew that there was no road for people to split in the deserted mountains, and there was no direction in the forests where there was no way out. Even if there is a road in the mountains, it is also walked by snakes and beasts, and following such a road is equivalent to sending yourself to the mouth of snakes, wolves, tigers and leopards, which is extremely dangerous! Therefore, even if he ate the gall of the leopard, Gao Xuan could only bypass the mountain road and walk along the coast.
With an idea, he turned to the left and searched along the long coastline. I don't know how long I walked, I don't know how far I walked, but there was a big valley in front of me, and the valley was full of mountains and slopes, and there was a kind of fruit tree growing densely, and the tree was full of red fruits, and the fruit was about the same size as cherry tomatoes, and it was full of branches, which was very attractive. Looking at the abundant fruits of a tree, Gao Xuan was salivating. He picked a few fruits, rubbed them on his clothes, and put them in his mouth and ate them. The fruit is crisp and sweet, Gao Xuan ate it three times, and ate it twice. After eating, I felt that I was more than hungry, so I picked some more and ate them. When you're full, you can continue on your way. After walking for a long time, I felt tired, so I chose a flat and clean place to sit down. As soon as Gao Xuan sat down, his thoughts came up again, and at this time, he found a very strange phenomenon, that is, from the moment he landed on this island to now, he has been busy for at least half a day, but in this half of the day, time seems to be still, and there is no change at all. The sun is always in the same place, neither tall nor short, hanging in place impartially. He looked at his watch again, and it was terrible, the watch was broken, and the time was frozen at 0:00 and did not move. I took out my phone again and looked at it, and it stopped, just like my watch, and the time was fixed at 0:00. Gao Xuan thought that it was normal for him to be swept up by the evil wind, tossed in the air, and the items he carried with him were broken and lost, but to say that all the artifacts that can show the time freeze the time at the same point when they are damaged, it is a strange thing that has never been seen and heard of. Also, mobile phone watches can't stand the toss and are damaged. Could it be that the sun is also damaged? All this time passed, but it hung in one place without moving. Strange, can't figure it out, really can't figure it out! Later, Gao Xuan, who couldn't figure it out, said to himself, if he can't figure it out, why should he think about it, let it go. Whether the time has changed or not, whether the sun is moving or not, it doesn't matter to me. It's still early, and I'm tired, so it's better to lie down and rest first. So he stretched and lay down to sleep. He wanted to refresh himself so he could continue on his journey. Lying down, he fell asleep in a daze.
After sleeping for a while, Gao Xuan was woken up by a sharp stomach pain, and the pain then became more and more intense, and even slowly spread from his stomach to his whole body. It hurt so much that the whole body was about to explode and fall apart. Gao Xuan was tormented by the pain and rolled all over the ground. The thatch around him made him roll to death. He thought, it's over, he must have eaten the poisonous fruit by mistake, and he will be poisoned here. The soul is broken here, and it seems that there is no escape! It's a pity that he was inexplicably stranded on a desert island, but it was a pity that he became a lonely ghost here, but it was a pity that he had a good chance to find the missing more than 300 soldiers and help everyone escape from the predicament. Knowing that at this time, the mind is not over, and people will go, sad! After thinking about it like this, I fainted with a sharp pain
