Chapter 14: Hope Comes and Goes
"It's been 23 days since the plane crashed. Where do you think they are looking for us now? ”
Early in the morning, they came down from the mountain to feed the pigs, and the two chatted while walking.
"I don't know, I should feel that no one survived, after all, the plane crashed, and the probability of survival is too small."
"What do you think we're going to do if we don't find us?"
"Hey, I don't know how long we'll be able to last here."
Regarding this question, Xiang Wen really can't pretend to be comforted.
"What's on the agenda today?" Change the subject to the text.
"I don't know, I'm not in the mood."
"Cheng, then let's do nothing today, take a break."
"Forget it, the more you let yourself think, the more you will mow some grass and vines today, and dry it to make a straw mat."
"Listen to you."
The two of them took tools and cut them at the foot of the mountain, and they had already cut a large piece of straw rope when they were weaving it before. The woods look much fresher and brighter.
Now both of them are quite experienced in mowing the grass, and they can cut a small stack in a while. Miao Miao moved out from time to time and spread it on the beach.
"Miao Miao, what sound are you listening to outside?"
"Propellers! Plane?! ”
The two of them threw down their tools and ran out to the beach, where it was really a helicopter flying by.
"Help, help, we're here."
The two of them waved their hands and shouted desperately, jumped desperately, took off their clothes and waved vigorously to Wen.
The plane was hovering in the sky, and both Xiang Wen and Miao Miao could feel that the plane was about to descend in the next second.
Suddenly, I saw the fuselage shake for a moment, and immediately stabilized again. The next second, he turned around and flew away.
Miao Miao rushed back to the cave like crazy and took out her life jacket, ran back to the beach and blew the whistle with all her strength, but at this time the plane had already flown away.
On the beach, wolf smoke is rising.
Xiang Wen and Miao Miao knelt on the beach and looked at the sea motionless, their eyes glazed.
Hope is in sight, so close, but it is in vain.
"Ah~ah~ah~~~." Suddenly, Xiang Wen rushed down the beach and rushed to the sea like crazy.
Miao Miao was startled and hurriedly chased after her.
He staggered and eventually fell to the beach.
"Xiang Wen, Xiang Wen, you have to be calm and don't leave me alone."
"Ah~~~."
Xiang Wen heard Miao Miao's cry, lay on the beach, and slammed the ground with his hand. The sea water swells up and down, swells up and down, and makes a noise.
"I can't take it anymore." Xiang Wen cried.
Miao Miao sat beside him and cried helplessly.
At this time, I don't know what else to do except cry. The rescue that has been waiting for so long is in front of me, but it is gone.
Like abandoned children, the two of them were overwhelmed by despair.
-
on a helicopter.
"Report, no debris or corpse found in this sea area, but there is abnormal radio interference."
"Roger, are there any islands nearby?"
"Report, there are no islands nearby."
-
I don't know how long I've been in this position, but the sun has risen in mid-air.
"Get up, Xiangwen, get up, let's go back to the cave."
Xiang Wen was motionless, no matter how Miao Miao pulled it, it was useless.
"Okay, you want to die, don't you? Then let's die together, if you leave me alone on this island, I won't be able to live, so let's just die together now. ”
Miao Miao cried and shouted.
Xiang Wen finally moved, he struggled to get up, and walked towards the cave without a trace of anger, and his spirit completely collapsed.
"Xiang Wen, you drink some water."
As soon as he entered the cave, he lay on the ground, like a soulless corpse.
Miao Miao put down the cup, took out the tools to make the fire, and began to drill wood to make a fire. But Xiang Wen is doing this every day, and Miao Miao doesn't know it at all.
She rubbed the stick over and over again, until her rough hands were blistered and still didn't light it.
Desperate and overwhelmed, she swept away the wooden stick on the ground, hugged her knees and cried.
Crying and crying, she suddenly heard a noise, and she knew that it was him who got up and started a fire.
She looked up to wipe away her tears, picked up half a breadfruit from the ground and roasted it on the fire. The smell of breadfruit pulls the two back to real life a little.
"Xiang Wen."
"Hmm." Xiang Wen's voice was hoarse, and his unshaven beard made him look a lot older.
"We, don't give up, at least we still have each other in this world."
Xiang Wen was silent, and tears fell down one by one.
Miao Miao stretched out her hand to wipe his tears, but wiped and wiped and flowed.
She gently took him into her arms and stroked his back like a mother. Xiang Wen pulled out his hand and hugged her tightly.
The only hope for survival is each other.
