21, chatterbox
The next morning, Song Wenbin woke up from a burst of clammy cold, and he only felt that the parts of his shoulders and buttocks that were in contact with the ground were extremely cold. When I looked again, I noticed that water had condensed from the places where I had been lying on the ground.
It turned out that this cave was only used as a temporary base after being discovered by Song Wenbin, only fighting knives on the ground, and did not prepare leaves and hay and other coverings.
Good thing it's on a desert island in the Caribbean.
Song Wenbin thought to himself, if his mother saw him lying on the floor tiles at night, it would be another crazy preaching.
"We can't lie on the ground like that."
Someone said.
It turned out to be Sutina on the other side of the fire, and she also got up from the ground when she heard the movement, and complained: "If you lie down like this, you will definitely get rheumatism when you get old." β
Song Wenbin touched his nose, his face was a little strange.
But soon, he threw the illusion out of the clouds, he stood up, made the flame of the burning campfire a little smaller, and said: "Today we have two tasks, this hole is definitely okay to shelter from the wind and rain, but it is not good to keep warm, so we need two bunks, preferably two rooms apart."
Sutina immediately cheered up and clapped her hands: "Okay, then let's go get banana leaves and hay and come back!" β
Song Wenbin waved his hand and said, "This kind of work is enough for me alone, didn't you say that you wanted to fish in Huo Yuna before." β
Saying that, Song Wenbin took the fishing rod to Su Tina and said, "You go fishing in the lagoon below, we haven't eaten meat for a long time, it's not a way to go on like this, Huo Yu's guy has wild boar, and there are fruits on the island, we can't live worse than her." β
However, compared to the excitement of building a shelter, Sutina looked at the fishing rod and hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Song Wenbin asked.
"But... But... I don't know how to fish..."
Sutina said.
"It's easy to fish, load up the bait, stop at the lake, and wait."
Song Wenbin said lightly: "This thing is very simple, you don't need to move your legs or run away." β
Even though Song Wenbin said this, Su Tina still didn't catch the fishing rod, she hesitated for a while, and said, "But... But, Brother Song, your legs... Isn't it still difficult to go out and collect leaves like this, don't you still have a leg injury? β
Song Wenbin moved his legs and found that the place where he was pushed by the wild boar last night was really painful, so he nodded: "Then since this is the case, what do you say?" β
"Let's go pick leaves together!"
Sutina said: "There's no hurry to fish again after picking the leaves!" β
Song Wenbin felt that what Su Tina said was also reasonable, and he nodded reluctantly: "Then, okay." Let's take care of the cave first, and then go fishing. β
Sutina was very happy, and Wuhu stood up and jumped up.
Song Wenbin took out his tetanus blade and limped towards the forest. He was going to get some plantain leaves, and some hay, and dead vines, and things like that, and take care of the cave.
Although the coup d'Γ©tat was not successful and Huo Yu was driven out of the island, he didn't have to be a servant, he didn't have to hand over food, and he had an extra follower. Song Wenbin felt that he was enough to rule the river with Huo Yu.
Soon, the two came to the forest, Song Wenbin found a banana tree and cut the leaves, and Sutina hummed a little song to pick up firewood. After picking it up for a while, she made a large pile of wood and piled it up next to Song Wenbin's feet to form a small mountain bag.
Song Wenbin was chopping banana leaves, and when he turned around and saw that there was an extra pile of wood beside him, he was stunned and said, "What are you doing with so much firewood?" β
"Tropical firewood doesn't burn!"
"These trees grow very fast and are very loose. After a while, it's gone, and we'll have to gather some firewood, or we'll have to freeze again if it rains again. β
"I see." Song Wenbin suddenly realized and said: "I still know a lot about college students. β
Seeing Song Wenbin say this, Su Tina immediately became happy, and felt that Brother Song was much more pleasing to the eye than Huo Yu, who bullied her. She was in a good mood, so she began to popularize the different types of wood she found with Song Wenbin.
ββ¦β¦ This is goosepaw firewood, it grows fast, the flowers are white, green all year round, it's very beautiful, ~ but it has no economic value, it's good to use it for fire. This is a papaya tree, you should know, there are many in the south of Hainan, but the male tree of this papaya, that is, the male, does not produce fruit, if we can find a female papaya, we can eat papaya. Papaya is a good thing, if it is ripe we can eat fruit, if it is not ripe we can eat it as a vegetable, which is rich in 17 kinds of vitamins, as well as calcium, iron, papain, papaya and a lot of nutrients, we only need to eat half a medium papaya, we do not need to supplement other vitamin C......."
"Can you eat papaya to have big breasts?"
Song Wenbin interrupted her.
"What?"
Sutina didn't react for a moment.
Song Wenbin gestured on his chest and said, "My chest has become bigger." β
Su Tina's face was slightly red and slapped Song Wenbin: "You really don't have scientific common sense, that's a rumor, papaya is just papaya, and the figure is only related to genes, and it has nothing to do with other things." β
"Then you're genetically good."
Song Wenbin said.
Sutina blushed, she lowered her head sideways, stammering a little, "Yes... Is it...? Could it be the cause of the mix? I.... I don't know...."
Song Wenbin thought to himself that it was good, but it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know which scum he would be cheaper in the future.
He continued to cut down the tree.
However, after not cutting for a while, Sutina behind her asked again: "Brother Song, have you seen Robinson Crusoe?" β
"I've heard it, but I haven't seen it." Song Wenbin said.
He dragged the leaves he had cut down into the hole, and Sutina followed him and chattered: "It's an old novel, about a man who survives on a desert island." But that person is religious, and you may not like it anymore. But then he met a primitive tribe on that island, and he took the primitive tribe as a servant, do you know what name he gave to the primitive tribe? β
"I don't know."
"Friday. Hahahahahaha~"
Sutina laughed as she spoke.
But Song Wenbin didn't know where the laughter was, and he was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Song Wenbin didn't smile, she scratched her head: "Anyway, he lived on that island for more than ten years, and was later rescued, and when he went back, he opened a farm and became the owner of the plantation." β
"That's something."
For more than ten years, Song Wenbin thought to himself, I'm afraid that he is not writing novels. If he is allowed to live on the island for more than ten days, he will probably hit the wall and reopen it, of course, giving him a mobile phone is another matter.
Maybe Robinson also had a cell phone or something on the island.
Back in the cave, Song Wenbin and Sutina spread the banana leaves on the ground, and while spreading Sutina they said goodbye.
"That'..... Brother Song, have you seen the mysterious island? β
"I haven't seen it."
Song Wenbin laid out the banana leaves, felt that this thing could not protect against the cold, so he could only use it as a tablecloth, and decided to get some hay again. So he took his knife and walked towards the place where he had first seen the cactus, where there might be dry grass in the environment.
"Ahh Sutina suddenly became excited.
Song Wenbin was startled, and his nerves tensed.
"Myst Island is my favorite desert island survival genre, not one of them. Brother Song, you really should take a look! β
"I'll have time to take a look."
Song Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Nonsense, does he want to like to read books and go to mix with society before he finishes high school? He knew the words that the teacher had written on the blackboard when he took them apart, but he didn't recognize them when they were connected. At the age of 17, Song Wenbin made it clear that he was not a student of reading, and his understanding of culture was limited to the extent that he could communicate and count money, but this was enough for him. As for why the mysterious island is mysterious, he doesn't care at all.
"That story is really interesting, it's about the American Civil War, when several people with completely different personalities went to a desert island to survive in a hot air balloon, there are scientists, sailors, journalists, and black slaves, and an intern and a dog, hahaha~ I like that scientist the most, he is so powerful, he made nitroglycerin fried waterfalls on the island empty-handed, and also found a cave similar to Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave in the waterfall, it is really amazing, I really hope I can have that ability!"
Song Wenbin: ......
He limped to the plain where the cactus was, but there was not as much grass as he had imagined, only a few dry wild sugar cane leaves, but it was better than nothing, and he bent down and cut it.
His tetanus blade can't be used to chop wild boars, it's very convenient to chop these leaves, but he keeps an eye on it anytime and anywhere, he met a wild boar near here last time, if he encounters it again this time, he may only kneel and beg Huo Yu Daxia to quickly appear near here with a bow and arrows on his back.
Fortunately, the process of cutting sugarcane leaves was smooth, and neither wild boars nor Huo Yu appeared.
It's just that the chirping girl next to him seems to have found a great tree hole, and the flood of information rushes into his brain, so that the ear on the other side of him that drains water is a little clogged.
β...... But I really envy them back then, there were so many desert islands to explore, there were pirates, there were shipwrecks, there were a lot of strange things that didn't know what to do. And the weapons they used weren't that powerful at the time, and for some reason, I always thought that this kind of island would have to be explored with flintlock muskets and machetes like they did, and it would be boring to bring some modern weapons......"
Song Wenbin thought to himself, then you brought a flintlock musket and a machete, what the hell is it with a signal pot that is too capable of battery boards and mobile phones.....
β...... However, the beauty of the mysterious island does not lie in the desert island life written by Jules Verne, I don't know why, the relationship and tacit understanding between scientists and sailors are also very touching....."
Sutina said as she gathered firewood.
Song Wenbin's head was big, he stopped cutting grass, got up and sighed: "Sutina, my position in the show is illiterate, I don't understand these things you talked about....."
Sutina was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Song, you may not know about the Mysterious Island, but you must have heard of the prequel to that book!" β
"Really?" Song Wenbin was skeptical.
"That's right! It's 20,000 miles under the sea! Did you guess it? β
"Is it..."
The corners of Song Wenbin's mouth twitched: "So that's the case..."
Apparently he didn't know what 20,000 miles under the sea were.
"That's a must-read list during the elementary school holidays, Brother Song, you won't have read it." Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin suspiciously, a little incredulous.
Song Wenbin sweated slightly, he was busy frying cow dung and playing game consoles during the elementary school holidays.
"Why haven't you seen it? 20,000 miles under the sea. Definitely seen it. β
Song Wenbin said.
Sutina was relieved, "I'll just say, then you really should go to see the mysterious island, which talks about the final ending of Captain Nemo~ Hey, it's that the book is too short, and it will be over after seeing Captain Nemo, and it's still the end of the mess." You can believe that the island was sunk by a volcano, but I can't understand it anyway. I guess Verne didn't want to write it. β
Saying that, Sutina sighed again, and said with some sadness: "Fortunately, their relationship has been maintained until they are rescued, and this is the only place that makes me happy." Actually..... I'm thinking..... if only we and Huo Yu could be like the protagonists in the mysterious island, cooperate with each other and understand each other...... In fact, although I chattered about Huo Yu's shortcomings last night, I really didn't hate Sister Huo Yu at all..."
Song Wenbin was a little impatient, this girl is good at everything, but there are too many words, Balabala's mouth is like a machine gun, as if there is a large group of 500 people next to him, and there are a few chatters in this group who make the group information 99+ all the time.
"But speaking of which, Brother Song, our situation is neither like Robinson Crusoe nor like Mystery Island. Speaking of which, I think our situation is a bit like a two-year vacation, ha! Su tina suddenly clapped her hands and asked happily, "Brother Song, have you seen the two-year vacation?" β
Song Wenbin: .......
Without waiting for Song Wenbin to speak, Sutina herself answered for him first.
"Ah..... I know that Brother Song must not have read it, this book is less popular than the two books I said before, but they are also masterpieces of desert island survival. However, unlike the previous two books, this book does not record the desert island survival of adults, but the desert island survival of a group of teenagers. Although I'm now an adult, and looking back at some of the cougars hunting in it feels a bit fake, there's no denying that I was fascinated by it when I was a kid! β
Song Wenbin: .......
"But the book has a shadow for me now, the bear kids in that book have no food, so they go to the beach to hunt seals. Yes... Seals, seals are so cute, how can you eat seals. And they not only eat seals, but also use seals to refine oil..... Woowoo..... It's too cruel, or maybe Westerners have been much crueler than us since we were young......"
Song Wenbin gritted his teeth, hugged the dried sugarcane leaves, and tried to speed up his pace to leave Sutina behind, but his butt was pushed by a wild boar, and he couldn't walk fast at all.
"Does Brother Song usually read?" Sutina asked in his ear with a large pile of scavenging firewood.
"Look." Song Wenbin said firmly.
What books have you read?
"Break through the sky." Song Wenbin said happily: "Have you seen it, it's very interesting." β
Sutina: ......
β¦β¦
At night, back in the cave, Song Wenbin barely took care of the cave and made a decent bed for himself and Sutina, although it was not very beautiful, but it was definitely enough to keep warm.
Although these things seemed simple, they also kept him busy for the day, and strangely, he found that although he had not done much for the day, he was extremely tired, as if his energy had somehow disappeared.
In the face of this exhaustion, Song Wenbin was even in a trance.
He looked at the campfire and felt as if he hadn't done anything today.
But if he had to think about what he hadn't done, he couldn't remember. Unable to concentrate, he collapsed on the leaves and wanted to fall asleep.
Sutina's haunting voice came from the side again.
"Brother Song, I just thought of a masterpiece of survival on a desert island....."
Song Wenbin gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. Snores and pretends to be asleep.
"Huh... Asleep? β
Sutina muttered, "Sleep so fast..."
Song Wenbin quietly rolled over and curled up with his back to Sutina.
Bypass me...
In the haze, he saw the majestic mountain bags made of firewood beside him, and finally remembered that there was no fishing at all today.
