Chapter 15: Unexpected Gunshots
The next day, as soon as the sun climbed over the treetops, we all got up.
I asked Big Bear if he had found anything of value after reading his notes last night. Big Bear pretended to talk nonsense in front of everyone, it was nothing more than what he picked up the lamp to read at night, worked hard, and put everyone's fate on his shoulders, I impatiently let him pick up useful talks, and quietly reminded him, "How long did you sleep last night, you haven't counted yet, don't let me expose you." ”
Except for the one that contained very useful information about the herbs on the island, the remaining two were of little value, and most of them were fanatical fantasies about war and longing for home.
In addition to the notebook, there is also the topographic map of the island sandwiched in the notebook, according to the above records, there is a freshwater lake in the high ground deep on the island, where the stream of the island originates and eventually joins the sea, and because of the uniqueness of the climate here, the evaporated sea water forms precipitation and replenishes the lake, forming a steady-state cycle. In addition to the freshwater lake, there is also an extinct volcano on the northernmost part of the island, and you can climb to the top of the mountain to see the entire island landscape.
There are a few places on this island where there is a high concentration of animal activity, roughly located in the area south of the freshwater lake, which is still a little far from us from the distance on the map. In addition to the boulder camp, there is also a larger open meadow on the island, located in the center of the island, which is overgrown with all kinds of rare fruits, but at the same time it should be dangerous, and a large triangle is drawn on the map.
After listening to the introduction of the big bear, we have a further understanding of the island, it doesn't matter if you go to the freshwater lake or not, it doesn't matter if you go to the central meadow or not, but it is necessary to go to the extinct volcano, and we can see the island and even the sea area from afar.
But all this must be leaned back first, after all, the volcano is very far from our camp, and there is no ready-made road to go, it is impossible to go there without complete preparations, and the most important thing for us at the moment is to repair the camp, especially the perimeter protection measures must be done first.
This boulder camp is not big, it is not small, if it is really a wooden fence around the perimeter, this workload is not less than building a wooden house, I thought about it and said: "I remember that there were a few bundles of iron wire on the ship before, at that time we thought they were too thin to see the use of it, so we didn't take it, now we will not be able to get so much wood for a while, it is better to take the wire back first, pull a cordon around the camp, and then use the generator to power it at night, although this bit of electricity is estimated to not even a mouse can die, But it's good to make the beasts feel a little bit of a movement, so that we don't get sneak attacked. ”
Uncle Wei nodded in agreement: "Those wires are too thin, they will definitely not be able to stop the beasts, but the beasts that have never been electrocuted are electrocuted for the first time, and they will have some reactions, so I will go with you, and by the way, I will catch some seafood and come back." ”
I waved my hand and said, "No, you still have more important work, and we have to rely on you and the bearded comrade to use the toilet during the day." Da Xiong and Uncle Song's task is to chop wood and build a house, Sister Hongmei and Sister Shanshan are responsible for logistics support, Sun Yuxi and Zhou An'an continue to be responsible for cleaning up the boulders and camp, Miss Lin is responsible for overall security, and I will go to the beach alone. ”
"No way!" As soon as I finished speaking, everyone objected, and Sister Hongmei said: "Xiao Han, you can't go alone, we agreed before, no matter where you go to the island, you must have at least two people traveling together, and you can take care of each other in case you encounter something." In this way, it is better to let Miss Su join you. ”
I couldn't resist everyone, and at the same time, I actually hoped to have more time alone with Su Yuliu, so I agreed.
We brought out a total of four rifles on the boat, and we divided the four rifles equally with the man with glasses. One rifle on our side was used by Miss Lin, and the other was kept aside. The bears don't know how to use a gun if they haven't touched it, and I think that in this dense forest, a rifle is not as good as a sapper's shovel. However, this time I went to the beach, I still brought it, yesterday's wild boar during the day and a small lantern at night, so I had to be more vigilant and more vigilant.
After coming to the stream, we planned to take a break, but thinking that we had met the dog and tiger here last time, we didn't dare to stop longer, so we hurriedly washed our faces and set off again.
Su Yuliu, this girl looks quite timid, but in fact she is quite able to endure hardships, we walked very fast along the way, the weather was hot and dry, and the terrain was complicated, and the little girl was stunned to keep up with my pace. If I hadn't met her before this shipwreck, I would have been cheeky and stalked-about to pursue her, but now in this scene, even if I am sometimes tempted, I don't dare to ask for anything, the future is uncertain, who dares to easily entrust to whom for life, who dares to easily make a promise to whom?
After shuttling through the dense forest for a while, the beach is getting closer and closer to us, although the feet and necks are a little sore along the way, but fortunately there are no accidents, but who knows that at this moment, suddenly a burst of gunfire came from a distance.
Before I could react, another burst of gunfire rang out, and I subconsciously squatted down and hugged Su Yuliu in my arms.
Su Yuliu asked me a little scared, "Where did this gunfire come from?" Is it Miss Lin? ”
I shook my head: "Unlikely, we are already far from the camp, and judging by the direction and strength of the gunshots, it is even more from the beach." ”
The only known people on this island are us and the man with glasses, and they have guns in their hands, and if they really come from the beach, they can only make a move. But in broad daylight, what are they doing with guns on the beach? Could it be that you are crazy and use a gun to catch fish? Or maybe you don't know how to use a gun and accidentally collapse yourself?
I said to Su Yuliu, "Otherwise, you wait for me here, and I'll go to the beach to see what the situation is?" ”
Su Yuliu shook her head and said, "No, I want to be with you." ”
I looked at her and thought to myself that it would not be okay to leave her alone, so I would take it with me, and I said, "Then you should be careful, in case there is any danger, you can leave me alone and run to the camp by yourself." After saying that, I stood up and reached out to pull Su Yuliu, Su Yuliu didn't think much about it and handed me the little hand, and I was reluctant to let go of this hand.
I pulled Su Yuliu to the beach quickly, hiding behind a big tree and observing the situation on the beach, only to see that on the beach not far away, it was indeed the group of glasses man.
One of the boys sat on the ground, his hands on his left leg, his expression was very painful, and his mouth was constantly crying wolf, while the man with glasses was crouching on his side to observe his injuries, and in front of them lay something the size of a cat, but it seemed to have been killed and lay motionless on the ground.
Since there is no danger, we don't have to hide, Su Yuliu and I walked to them, and I asked the man with glasses what happened?
The man with glasses glanced at me, pointed to the carcass of the animal on the ground, and said, "We were fishing on the beach, and this thing suddenly jumped out of nowhere, and Xia Ming was bitten by him." ”
I said, "You set off the gunshot?" Didn't I say you, just such a little animal, you need to put so many guns, and besides, if you are bitten by this gadget, it shouldn't matter if the wound is disinfected. ”
"It doesn't matter? Hum! The eyed man snorted coldly, and suddenly reached out to pull away Xia Ming's hand, only to see that the wound was already swollen purple and black, and the eyed man said, "Do you still think it doesn't matter now?" I've already asked people to go back and cancel the inflammatory medicine, if you are okay, you can leave quickly, don't talk about it here. ”
The purple-black wound was terrifying to look at, and then look at Xia Ming's face, the beads of sweat were rolling down one by one, and his face was slowly turning pale.
No matter how unaccustomed I am to the man with glasses, it is impossible to talk nonsense anymore, I said to him: "Forgive me for being rude just now, look at his appearance, I'm afraid it won't work, Zhou An'an is a nurse over there, why don't you let me take a look?" ”
The man with glasses said with some disdain: "What's the use of a nurse?" Without medicine, Hua Tuo can't be saved when he comes. ”
At this time, Su Yuliu suddenly heard something, and she said, "Isn't that medical notebook a lot of medicinal herbs on the island?" There are so many herbs that can be detoxified? ”
As soon as she said that, I rang too, and I patted my head and said, "Why did you forget that note?" Yes, the notes are full of all kinds of medicinal herbs on this island, and if this animal is poisonous, as long as it does not come across the ocean to bite us, there should be medicinal herbs on the island that can cure its poison. ”
