Chapter 168: The Secret of Impering Island (4)
Grady's words made the three of them pause, and they almost threw Jia Ruyi's body back to the ground.
In fact, everyone vaguely felt that this matter was wrong, and they all realized that the possibility of them being rescued in the near future was very small, but no one wanted to face this problem head-on, and they still had great hopes on the surface.
The fat man who had eaten the fish for two days and was about to fade out of his mouth glared at Grady and said hatefully: "You're just afraid of being rescued, right?" Waiting for the police is a good thing for us, but it's a terrible thing for you! ”
Bao Lu suddenly turned his head to look at Grady: "You are the first person to propose to check if there is a landline in the wooden house, say!" Did you find a landline? There is a telephone line in the wooden house, why is there no telephone? ”
Meng Hui sighed and said helplessly: "I said that you should bury people in it first, your hands are numb!" ”
Hearing her words, Grady, who was about to open his mouth to argue, strode over and helped carry Jia Ruyi into the sand pit that had just been dug out.
"Please use your brains, I don't have any prohibited items on me now, but I have a passport that proves that I am an international businessman, do you think I will hide my phone from you because I am afraid of the police?"
Grady half-knelt and half-crouched on the ground and pushed the sand into the pit, too lazy to deal with the two startled men again.
The four of them buried Jia Ruyi reluctantly, all of them had dry mouths and hot breathlessness, no one spoke on the way back, Meng Hui didn't even have the strength to analyze the whole thing, and he didn't breathe until he returned to the wooden house and poured a few glasses of water.
"How much water and fish are left? Enough for us to eat and drink for a few days? Meng Hui's body dissipated a lot of heat, and the first thing to consider was survival. When they arrived at the hut, they found that there was no running water, and there were seven buckets of mineral water in the kitchen, apparently ready for each of them.
There wasn't much food in the refrigerator, except for a handful of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and only frozen fish in the freezer. Everyone has been a little nauseous after eating for two days, and today they would rather be hungry than eat fish again, only Shi Fatzi has been changing his ways to get it.
Grady was the calmest of them all, and when he heard Meng Hui's words, he quickly went to the kitchen to check.
Not long after, Meng Hui and the others heard him shouting inside: "There are not many potatoes and sweet potatoes in the refrigerator, and they can barely last a week." There are many more frozen sea fish, if Shi Fatzi saves a little to eat, you can let us stick to it for a week after eating the staple food. ”
When everyone inexplicably felt relieved, Grady suddenly walked out of the kitchen and said coldly: "But six buckets of water can last us for a week at most, and we must drink a limited amount every day." It's almost impossible to limit your water intake in this ghostly weather. ”
"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Meng Hui sat on the ground by the balcony door, breaking the brief silence, "From now on we will reduce our activities and only go out in the morning and evening when the sun does not come out to check the passing boats. Stay together in the cabin during the day to maintain your strength and minimize your exertion. ”
"Who told you to call the shots?" Bao Lu glared at her dissatisfied, "Just go out sooner or later to wait for rescue, who can see us?" What if the boat comes during the day and we sit here and miss it? ”
Qi Enwei was frightened by his fierce look and tone, and hurriedly ran to Meng Hui's side to hold her. The stone fat man did not speak, and stood aside to play with his fingers. Lan Dong was still lying like a corpse, too lazy to say a word.
Grady also looked at it disapprovingly and said, "Sha, I know you want to save resources, but it's important to ask for help, we can't miss the opportunity during the day, at least once in a while let the two of us go out to see the situation." ”
"There's a forest out there, do you see that?" Meng Hui pointed to the rocky beach as the strange trees growing in the middle of the beach, "Those are dead trees, and they are isolated into several areas at night, enough for us to light a fire for half a month without stopping." That's our call for help! ”
Qi Enwei's eyes lit up, and she was the first to respond: "Sister Sasha is right!" We can burn trees to get attention! Not only will it attract ships, but it may also attract planes! ”
Bao Lu, Stone Fat Man, and Grady glanced at each other, and finally Qi Qi agreed to the plan.
"Then it's settled. The six of us are divided into three teams, Lan Dong, Lan Dong! You have to join too! Meng looked back at the professional Ge You paralyzed on the sofa, and was speechless, "Let's leave you early before we can go back and lie in a daze more peacefully, okay?" ”
"Uh-" Lan Dong deliberately let out a strange sound and said lazily, "I know, I'm in a group with the fat man." ”
No one wants to be in a group with Lan Dong, because they are destined to take on the work of two people, and when they heard his words, Shi Fatzi immediately shouted: "I won't be in a group with you!" Punch! Punching is the fairest! The back of the hand, the palm and the fist, who is the same as the team! ”
"Come, come, hurry!" Bao Lu clenched his fists impatiently.
Grady nodded to indicate that he was ready, Qi Enwei wanted to discuss the same punch with Meng Hui, but he didn't dare to speak under the gaze of everyone, and when Lan Dong, who was lying down, stretched out his hand, Meng Hui began to call out.
"One, two, three!"
At the end of a few laps, the team is divided. Meng Hui unfortunately got into a group with Grady.
Qi Enwei made the same punch as Bao Lu, and her eyes were red with anger; The unlucky Shi Fat Man was still with Lan Dong in the end, and seeing the expressions of the two, the other four couldn't help but have a smile.
After dividing the team, Meng Hui opened his mouth again: "I have some suggestions I want to share with you, if you feel that it is necessary, we can implement them from today." ”
This time, no one found fault, and after she came up with the idea of setting fire to the forest, everyone felt a little trust in her.
"First, we should take turns guarding the food and water in the kitchen. I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, but we don't know how long we're going to be here, so let's set the rules to prevent them from doing irrational things in despair. ”
The six people present were all strangers who had just met for three days, and they had no trust in each other, and they were relieved to hear Meng Hui's first suggestion, and they all raised their hands to say that they had passed.
"Good. Today, Grady and I are in the kitchen. Second, a team of people goes out to patrol every morning and evening, and everyone has no problem with this, right? Shi Fatzi and Lan Dong are going today, is it okay? ”
Shi Fatzi didn't care, Lan Dong was a little reluctant.
Meng Hui had no choice but to persuade: "This morning has already passed, and I only need to patrol a few times at night." In the future, you will have to go sooner or later, you think it out for yourself. ”
Lan Dong, who can be lazy and count once, hurriedly responded: "Okay, then today." ”
"Third," Meng said softly as he glanced back at the crowd and met their curious gazes, "I suggest that everyone talk about themselves, I suspect that someone is trying to kill us, so we need to find out what we have in common." ”
