Chapter 26: Survivors
There was nothing to say all the way, and it was early in the morning when Tian Lingshuang arrived at the island. She went ashore and found it a very large island. The island is lush with trees and flowers, making it a beautiful island. Take out the thermometer and it shows twenty-four degrees. Does this island look like it's habitable? It's not like you can't find food. The worst thing is that even if you eat leaves and bark, you can survive for a short time.
Without waiting for Tian Lingshuang to look for the survivors on the ship, the survivors had already found her. She actually took out a bottle of water from the water droplet space from her backpack, and was just about to open it to drink, when she heard a faint voice coming: "Excuse me, are you Chinese?"
Tian Lingshuang looked back and saw that it was a middle-aged man in his forties, yellow race, with a pale complexion, a scruffy beard, very haggard, and a picture of unsteady standing. Eagerly looked at her.
There are photos of missing people on the news, and Tian Lingshuang has seen them. She recognized at a glance that this person was the husband of Nurse Wang, the archaeologist Song Chengwei, a professor of history at XX University. Tian Lingshuang turned around and said, "Professor Song?"
can't blame her for asking, it's really because in the photos she has seen, Song Chengwei is personable, and now Song Chengwei is embarrassed and haggard, and he is like two people in the photos. If it weren't for Tian Lingshuang's eyesight, it would be a bit difficult to recognize him.
This person is none other than Song Chengwei. Since the storm hit and the research ship capsized, he and the others were rescued by dolphins and swam to this island for more than 10 days. These people have nothing but clothes. On the island, he ate wild fruits, leaves, drank the sap of plant roots, and every day he hoped that a boat would pass by and he would be rescued.
Every day, two of them, the survivors, take turns to go to the edge of the island and look out to sea, hoping to see the ships passing by. I was going to be desperate, I didn't expect to see Tian Lingshuang who came to the island today.
Song Chengwei nodded excitedly and said, "I'm Song Chengwei, who are you?"
"I'm — forget it, I said it, you don't know who I am. You call me Oda. I saw your disappearance on the news, so I came out to look for you, and I went to this island just to try my luck, but I didn't expect that you were really here. Tian Lingshuang couldn't say that it was a big lobster that told her their whereabouts, so she had to make up a set of words casually.
Seeing that Song Chengwei had spoken, her eyes couldn't control her eyes and kept patrolling the bottle of Baisui Mountain mineral water in her hand, Tian Lingshuang hurriedly took out another bottle of mineral water from her denim backpack and handed it to him. Song Chengwei's eyes lit up, he took the water bottle with trembling hands, unscrewed the cap, and poured half a bottle in one go.
Tian Lingshuang asked him, "What about the others?"
Song Chengwei said with a slumped head: "In addition to me and my assistant Xiao Fang, only Chairman Chen Tianlong and his four subordinates remain, as well as two crew members. Everyone else is missing. Those of us who survived are on this island. Because of the lack of food and drink, the physical strength has seriously decreased, and people are going to die, so I will come out alone today. They all lay down in the cave to rest. I'll take you. ”
Song Chengwei staggered to lead the way in front, and Tian Lingshuang said, "Wait a minute." In Song Chengwei's puzzled eyes, Tian Lingshuang turned over the rock wall and avoided Song Chengwei's sight. Hurry up and put a fishing boat out of the water droplet space into the sea, and tie the rope on the bow to the big rock. He took out four large travel bags and filled them with food, drink, and some medicine. Two bags were put on board. Carry two bags in your hand. Only then did they turn the rock wall and follow Song Chengwei all the way to the cave where they lived temporarily.
This cave is located on a gentle slope, halfway up the mountain, the entrance of the cave is blocked by a large stone, leaving only a little gap for a person to pass through, and there are branches and vines on the big stone, if there is no Song Chengwei to lead the way, Tian Lingshuang will not find it at all.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, Song Chengwei shouted: "Xiaofang, come out quickly, someone is coming to save us." ”
As soon as Song Chengwei's words fell, with a series of messy footsteps of kicking and tapping, a thin and haggard group of people appeared in front of Tian Lingshuang. It's miserable, it's miserable, a group of people are all men. One by one, their clothes were tattered, their hair was unkempt, their beards were scruffy, their faces were yellow, their limbs were weak, and they staggered out. If it weren't for the bright eyes of these people, with the surprise of being in a desperate situation, they looked at Tian Lingshuang eagerly, Tian Lingshuang thought that a group of zombies had come out.
There was no need to repeat what happened next, Tian Lingshuang put the travel bag on the ground and opened it with them. Watch them shout in surprise and then gobble up food and drink.
Tian Lingshuang followed Song Chengwei's assistant Xiao Fang and another man to Chen Tianlong, who was lying on the ground of the cave at this time, who did not greet her.
Although Chen Tianlong used to be in good health, he did not have any diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, which are common to the elderly. But after all, he is old, after the storm capsizing incident, thousands of relatives went to the island, and after going to the island, he lacked food and drink, but fortunately he did not suffer any external injuries during the escape process, and he was taken care of by his subordinates, otherwise he would have gone to see the ancestors a long time ago.
