Chapter 25: No Man's Island
"Ahem-ahem-"
Nan Xian violently spat out a mouthful of seawater and sat up with the pain all over her body.
She raised her hand to block the glare of the sunlight, and looked around blankly.
Endless seas, golden sands, seagulls soaring in the sky......
Where is this?
Suddenly, a white hem of her clothes broke into her sight.
The memory before falling into the water suddenly emerged - He Mingxiao shouted his name and jumped off the cliff......
He Mingxiao!
She stood up and stumbled towards him.
He Mingxiao floated beside a reef, with blood stains on his forehead and a pale face.
Could it be......
Nan Xian trembled her hand and reached under his nose, feeling a faint air current, and the big stone in her heart fell instantly.
She dragged him ashore and laid him flat on the beach, recalling the CPR operation process in her head, and her hands didn't stop—
Untie his collar and trouser belts, fold your hands on the middle and lower of his sternum, and press down hard for a minute.
Then open his airway, pinch his nose, and tilt his head and take a deep breath—
Just as Nan Xian was about to do artificial respiration for him, a hand suddenly blocked in front of her.
He Mingxiao's hoarse and weak voice sounded: "I'm fine." ”
Nan Xian looked at him in surprise, "He-"
Her limbs were sore because she had been tied up for too long, and she didn't know what she hit after falling into the sea, her legs were covered with large bruises, and her head was dizzy.
Now the taut strings suddenly relaxed, and her eyes instantly went black and she fainted.
**
Nan Xian hadn't dreamed of that black snake for a long time.
This time, the dream was far more bizarre than the previous ones.
She was trapped in a house with an extremely high ceiling and countless curtains hanging down.
The air was muddy and suffocating, but the curtain was windless, like water snakes, swimming and gently wrapping around her feet.
Nan Xian walked through the curtain like a headless fly, and she tried to find the door of the house, but the curtain seemed to be endless.
Suddenly, a dark shadow slowly appeared, approaching her direction.
The shadow gradually became clear, it was the appearance of a woman, but—
Everywhere she passed, there was a slight rustling of scales crushing to the ground.
Nan Xian's pupils constricted, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart, and she subconsciously froze in place and held her breath.
The dark shadow stopped, as if looking left and right.
After a long time, she walked in the other direction, only a stone's throw away from Nan Xian.
Nan Xian covered her mouth and exhaled slowly, slowly.
However, she was horrified to see a large, snake-headed shadow fall from the ground in front of her—
"Nanxian! Nanxian! ”
He Mingxiao called anxiously, but Nan Xian still closed her eyes tightly, muttering "help" in her mouth, and cold sweat continued to ooze from her forehead.
He reached out and touched her forehead, and it was hot, and his heart was even more flustered.
He unbuttoned his shirt and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly, warming her cold limbs with his own body heat.
"Don't be afraid, wife, I'll protect you......"
Nan Xian's dream suddenly changed-
The black serpent that chased after her disappeared, and the fluttering curtains around her gradually disappeared into a white mist.
The white mist surrounded her with a refreshing smell, but she didn't feel panicked at all, and even rejoiced in her heart.
They quickly enveloped her completely, and with a slight warmth, she curled up loosely and slowly closed her eyes.
Touching a familiar soft bullet with her fingertips, Nan Xian subconsciously pinched it.
There was a suppressed gasp overhead.
She snapped open her eyes, and she saw a bare chest.
The sensual mole at her collarbone immediately made her recognize the owner of the chest.
Her brain went blank with a "buzz", and she looked up mechanically—
He Mingxiao looked at her with deep eyes, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes.
He lowered his head, his thin lips pressed between her eyebrows, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Well, the fever is gone." ”
This kiss instantly recalled Nan Xian's running soul, and she withdrew from his arms in a panic, getting up too quickly, and her brain was caught off guard.
He Mingxiao held her and frowned, "What's uncomfortable?" ”
Nan Xian shook her head, broke away from his hand, her face was a little unnatural, "It's okay, you, don't be so close to me." ”
He looked at her face, suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice:
"I've done the most intimate things, and I'm still worried about this?"
Nan Xian thought of something, and the roots of her ears instantly turned red, "The marriage is divorced, can you pay attention?" ”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." He Mingxiao couldn't help but smile and got up, "You slept all afternoon, are you hungry?" I'm going to get you something to eat. ”
Nan Xian also got up, "No, I have hands and feet, I'll find it myself!" ”
He Mingxiao didn't refuse, but just took the initiative to walk in front and used a long wooden stick to sweep a path for her.
They are located in a cave by the sea, the location is not spacious, but the shade is still cool.
While Nanxian was asleep, He Mingxiao had already finished exploring the way.
It is a small island of less than 2,000 square meters, uninhabited, surrounded by an endless sea.
Fortunately, there are no traces of large beasts, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.
He found a freshwater pool in the woods of the island and solved the most urgent drinking water problem.
The two walked silently into the depths of the woods, and Nan Xian casually picked up a thick branch and held it in her hand, looking around vigilantly.
Suddenly, He Mingxiao stopped, and immediately walked to a weed bush in three steps and two steps, and picked up a hare with its hind legs tied by a bait trap.
Nan Xian was surprised, she looked at the trap and then at He Mingxiao, "You did it?" ”
He Mingxiao let out an "um" and neatly twisted the rabbit's neck.
The hare, which had been struggling a second before, immediately stopped moving.
Hearing the "click" of broken bones, Nan Xian instantly got goosebumps and subconsciously touched her neck.
She silently recited several words in her heart, "Spicy rabbit head, stir-fried rabbit dice, barbecue rabbit legs", before she dared to take the rabbit in He Mingxiao's hand and continue to walk forward.
Next, they harvested another hare, but this time He Mingxiao did not twist its neck directly, but tied its mouth and limbs as reserve food.
The two of them carried the rabbit and some wild fruits back to the cave.
He Mingxiao built a simple stove with stones, piled up the dead leaves that were used as velvet, and moved them to the sun.
Nan Xian was about to ask how to light the fire if there were no fire materials, when he saw him take out the myopia glasses he carried with him and drip a drop of water on the mirror surface, forming a simple convex lens.
However, perhaps the temperature was not high enough, and the dead leaves were not ignited for a long time.
He was already so hot that he was covered in sweat, and beads of sweat fell down the bridge of his nose, smashed into two petals on the ground, and were quickly evaporated.
As soon as Nan Xian looked up and saw this scene, she pursed her lips and ran quickly into the woods, and soon came back with a few wide palm leaves.
She braided their leaves together to form a sunhat-like shape, holding the petiole above He Mingxiao's head.
He was stunned, looked back at her, and curled his lips, "Thank you." ”
Nan Xian avoided his gaze, "Just help each other, no thanks...... But why are you so skilled at making traps and starting fires? ”
He Mingxiao was silent for a moment, his eyes looking at the dead leaves.
Nan Xian didn't wait for his answer for a long time, and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, just -"
"I was very thin until I was 16 and was bullied a lot...... In order to keep fit, I participated in military-grade wilderness survival training. He Mingxiao exhaled slowly and said softly.
