Chapter 8: The Aftermath of a Desert Island
I floated on the sea for several days in a row, but I never encountered any more major storms.
Occasionally, Goonev saw sharks, whales and other 100-meter-long big fish, which appeared on the surface of the sea and paraded, blowing waves like mountains, and puffing into clouds, which was magnificent, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't speak.
The fresh water he brought with him on the fishing boat had already been drunk, but fortunately it had rained lightly in the evening, and Gonev stored the rainwater to reduce physical exertion as much as possible.
Because the day the monster rescued him was Friday, Goonev named it Friday.
The monster sank to the bottom of the sea every day at noon, and when it returned, it brought back some herring.
When there was no fire on the boat, Gonev cut off the head and tail with a dagger, brushed it clean with seawater, and ate it raw.
Life at sea was extremely uneventful, floating for days on end, and Gonev was in a state of confusion every day.
Early that morning, Goonev had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a strange cry from a monster.
Sitting up, he saw the monster circling the dinghy, and asked:
Friday, what happened?
Friday pointed ahead with a big furry paw.
Goonev looked in the direction it was pointing.
Looking at the blue waves in the sky, a black dot faintly floated.
Because they are too far apart, the waves are big, so I can't look carefully.
Goonev swiped forward with all his might, and the closer the distance, the shadow grew larger, and only then did he see that it was a land.
The terrain of the land is like an olive, with a circular middle and two thinner sections.
It's land! Goonev was overjoyed: Quick, Friday, let's get over quickly.
The monster roared and pushed the dinghy quickly towards landing.
Goonev watched as the land became clearer and clearer, vaguely an island.
The monster kept pushing the dinghy onto land and yelled at Gonev several times.
Knowing that it lives in the sea, Gonev is saying goodbye to himself.
In the past few days of getting along, Goonev and this monster have already broken the prison and established a deep friendship.
Although I was very reluctant in my heart, I couldn't bring such a big monster with me.
After all, it's too shocking.
Gunev suddenly reached out and put his arm around the monster's head and said, "Friday, thank you!"
The monster turned its head slightly, and roared.
Two lines of tears flowed from mung bean's big eyes.
The monster hugged Goonev for a long time before turning away.
Goonev knelt on the boat, knowing that it was not the monster that saved his life, and that he was now buried at the bottom of the sea.
So he bowed his head in the direction of the monster's departure and expressed his gratitude.
Goonev watched the monster disappear into the sea, and was alone for a moment.
Thinking of Peter's tragic fate again, he sighed to himself.
Then he found a rock and tied the dinghy, packed up the belongings around the dinghy, slung it on his shoulder, and walked towards the shore.
Goonev had not stepped on land for many days since he went to sea, and his legs were weak when he went ashore.
After walking for dozens of steps, I felt gradually stronger, let go of the pace and walked.
On the shore is a palm grove, one stretching out to a hill in front of it.
Goonev climbed along the palm grove to the top of the mountain.
The mountain is not very high, but it climbs until noon.
Goonev ascended to the top of the mountain, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the land in full view.
This is an island!
This isolated island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with a radius of only 100 kilometers, and it is completely deserted.
On the north side of the island is a palm grove from which you came, and on the south side is a mountainous area with strange rocks, and on the east side of the island there is a small stream, which turns back to the west through the foot of the mountain, extending like the sea, and the terrain is the flattest, and on the west side is a black pine tree, which is dark and misty and dark and unclear.
Goonev threw the package off his shoulder to the side and sat on the ground with his butt.
His heart was full of sorrow, and he reached out and grabbed the package full of gold bars and threw it out.
Then he looked up to the sky and laughed, what is the use of asking you now?
laughed out loud and sadly came from the heart, and couldn't help but cry.
It wasn't until the sun was getting west that Gonev suddenly raised his head.
There is no way to go, and I must not give up on myself.
Suddenly he thought of the monster again, and thought to himself that Friday would come to see me if he knew I was on this island.
When the time comes, why can't I get out of danger if I have that dinghy?
When he thought of this, he was in a good mood.
Yes, I've got to live well.
I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life!
He walked down the hill to find his lost package and put it on his shoulder.
After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the east side of the island.
Because after observation, he found that the eastern terrain was relatively flat and had a good view, unlike several other places where wild beasts could easily hide.
And there is also a stream, which is more suitable for settling down.
He hurried down the hill, and it was already dark.
He secretly blamed himself for why he had been delayed at the top of the mountain for so long.
By this time, it was getting late, and it was no longer practical to set up a shelter.
I had to sit down in front of a big tree, take out the dried fish in the package, and chew it.
Goonev sat beside the tree, feeling the mountain breeze blowing on his body, and watching the shadows of the trees on the mountain swaying from a distance, faintly like the sound of wind and thunder.
At this time, there was a sudden smell of fishy smell on the tip of the nose, and a few meters away, there were seven or eight wild beasts entrenched at some point.
The beast's head resembled that of a tiger and leopard, with a single horn on its top, but its body was much larger than that of a tiger and leopard.
The silver spots on his body look very vicious.
Each stared at a white ape across from him.
One of the largest of them had already stood up.
Seeing this, Goonev was horrified.
Looking around, there was nowhere to hide, but fortunately the beasts had not yet seen themselves.
Immediately climbed up the trunk of the tree.
The biggest beast roared at this moment, stretched its four legs back, jumped more than two meters high, and rushed straight towards the white ape.
The white ape was not in a hurry, waiting for the beast to approach, and with one claw, he shot out the beast more than ten meters away.
The rest of the beasts also turned around at this moment and rushed towards the white ape.
The white ape struck left and right, knocking down the two beasts in front of him in turn.
The third beast aimed its horn at the white ape's abdomen, and the white ape couldn't dodge, and his abdomen hurt sharply, and he fell backwards.
Seeing this, the few beasts that had been knocked down turned around and stepped forward to bite.
The white ape saw misfortune in his eyes, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he did not dodge the other beasts, but stared at the beast that was the first to provoke.
When it gets closer, he suddenly holds down the horn on the top of its head with both arms and bites the beast's throat.
The other beasts tore and tore at the white ape, and the white ape did not let go until it died.
Kill both with the beast.
Goonev had climbed to a fork in the middle of the trunk at this moment, and he couldn't help but shudder at the sight of such a tragic scene.
At dawn the next day, Goonev lay on the trunk of the tree and rubbed his eyes.
Glancing below, it was a mess.
Not a single bone left of the white ape was eaten, and the beasts had long since left.
Goonev jumped down from the tree and saw that the beast that had been bitten to death by the white ape was still lying on the ground, a one-horned beast that was not gold or jade, faintly glowing.
With a move in his heart, he cut off the horn with a dagger and put it in his arms.
Goonev took a bath by the river.
The terrain is flat, and I want to live here for the time being.
After last night's incident, I didn't dare to stay long. Look for the south.
On the south side of the island, there was a strange rock, and Gonev found a huge depression.
Move a few large boulders over the vicinity and plug the notches.
Only a gap was left between the boulders.
For more than ten days in a row, Goonev slept here at night, but it was too peaceful.
On the twentieth day, there was a sudden heavy rainfall.
The rain poured into the hollow, and Gonev was choked from his sleep and fled in disarray.
Goonev found a granite with a back of rain.
The location of this stone is high, and there is a gap in it, which can shelter some wind and rain.
Goonev curled up into the gap in the big granite.
That night, I was stirred by cold water, and I started to burn in the middle of the night.
Goonev was sober and confused for a while, and it took seven or eight days to gradually get better.
Fortunately, there is a large fruit tree on this slope, and some unknown wild fruits are born.
Goonev picked some wild fruits nearby, which could satisfy both the stomach and hunger.
Although the fruit is sour, it is sweet to eat.
The rain fell intermittently for more than a month, and on this day the blue sky was blue and the sky was clear.
Gonev was going to find a good place to live again, and he had visited the south, north, and east sides of the island.
Only to the west was a black pine forest, and I saw it in clouds and mist, and it was dark and gloomy to see clearly, and I never passed.
Today, with his heart on the side, Gonev packed his bags and headed for the west side of the island.
Turning west on the mountainside, less than 100 meters away, is a large lush pine forest.
The forest is surrounded by clouds, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Goonev entered the forest, but saw that the forest was dense with branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, and all kinds of insects and birds were singing endlessly.
After seven or eight hundred meters, the woods became thicker and thicker.
Goonev was hesitating, and a silver finch flew out of the branch in front of him.
Thinking that he had never seen a living person, he fell to the side and looked sideways at Gonev.
Seeing that the bird was cute, and that it did not seem to be afraid of people, Gonev approached it.
I didn't want the silver finch to see him approaching, so I rushed into the forest and fled.
Goonev didn't care when he saw the bird fly away.
As he was looking around, suddenly the silver finch flew back and landed on a tree in front of him and squeaked.
Goonev looked at the bird, covered in snow feathers, white as silver, but with a handful of bright red feathers growing under each of its ribs.
Looking at that look, the bird seemed to ask Goonev to follow him.
Goonev's heart moved, and he followed the bird into the forest.
The silver finch waited until Gonev approached, and then flew again, and after flying a few dozen meters, it fell and chirped.
Goonev followed it all the way.
Walking through the dense forest, a valley suddenly appeared in front of me.
The valley is flat, and after heavy rains, the flat sky adds a lot of scenery.
On the side of the valley, there seems to be a waterfall, the sound of the water is murmuring, and the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the pine waves is intertwined.
The flowers and trees around are luxuriant, the mountain flowers are blooming wildly, the purple and the red are vibrant, and the competition is gorgeous, which makes people come here, and the ears and eyes are entertaining.
I can't help but be open-minded and refreshed.
When Gonev arrived, he was in a dream.
I thought to myself, wouldn't it be nice to have my home here?
While he was intoxicated, the silver finch suddenly squeaked and flew up.
Immediately after that, among the flowers, there was a rush, and an animal that looked like a giant panda popped out of it.
This giant panda is very beautiful, with two black circles in the eye sockets inlaid with bean-sized eyes, looking around.
At this time, seven or eight more beasts came out of the back.
This beast has a head like a tiger and a leopard, with a single horn on its top, spots on its body, and a vicious abnormality, which is the monster that attacked the white ape that night.
Goonev was taken aback when he saw this, but the beasts didn't pay attention to Goonev and just pounced on the panda.
The giant panda fought hard, but there were too many opponents.
A beast circled behind the panda and jumped over it when it was unprepared.
I saw that the silver finch suddenly flew and pecked at the beast that had attacked it.
and in one fell swoop the beast was blinded in the eye.
The beast rolled on the ground in pain, but the silver finch was fast, and it was a flying beast, although it was thunderous, it was helpless, so it had to give up the silver finch and attack the giant panda.
Although the giant panda had the help of the silver finch, it could not withstand the many beasts, and kept retreating.
Suddenly, a beast leaped high, and the silver finch saw the opportunity to swoop down again.
But the beast made a false pounce and deliberately lured the finch over.
When the silver finch flew in, he suddenly lowered his head, and a beast behind him was opening its big mouth to swallow the silver finch.
Goonev saw that the beast had been rehearsing for many years, and it was so tacit.
The silver finch was already unable to dodge, as if it had sent itself into the mouth of the beast, and rushed straight into the mouth of the beast.
Gonev screamed badly, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he strode forward, put his arms around the beast's neck, and rolled away.
The beast rolled on the ground with Gonev around its neck, then rolled over.
With a roar, he threw himself at Goonev.
Goonev lay on the ground and rolled over, but he could not hide from it.
The beast swooped down again.
The silver finch happened to rush down, and the beast, afraid of being hurt in the eye, made a mistake and avoided the silver sparrow.
Seeing the opportunity, Goonev took out the horn in his arms and stabbed it at the throat of the beast.
The beast was stabbed by Gonev's horn, and fell to the ground, fluttering a few times before it was silent.
It's really a thing descending from a thing, the unicorn emitted a trace of blue light, and a layer of murderous aura appeared around it.
The rest of the monsters all stopped, staring at Goonev fiercely.
Because what Goonev is holding in his hand is the horn on the head of their boss.
When Goonev saw that all the beasts were staring at him viciously, and gradually gave up the giant panda and surrounded him, he knew that something was wrong.
At this time, the giant panda took advantage of the unpreparedness of the beast and suddenly slapped a beast out with one claw.
When the rest of the beasts heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look, and Gonev took advantage of this time to run away.
Wherever the beasts of prey were willing to go, they all followed.
Goonev jumped into the flowers in a big stride and galloped straight forward for more than twenty meters.
Suddenly stopped his steps, but there was a cliff in front of him,
A waterfall on the cliff rushes down, a thousand meters, and merges into a river under the cliff, the clouds and mist are ethereal, boundless.
At this time, Goonev looked back and saw that those fierce beasts had chased him less than a meter in front of him, and all the fierce gods were vicious, and they were about to pounce.
At this time, there is no escape, there is no escape.
Goonev turned his heart sideways and closed his eyes.
One jumped towards the cliff and jumped down.
