Chapter 53: Sick

The fire in the coconut shell is extinguished. But the rain didn't stop.

Li Shanshan didn't have the strength to vent her anger on me for a long time. I just lie in the cave every day and stare at the black roof of the cave.

Su Jin also became very weak. His face was pale and bloodless, and although the rain was light sometimes, dark clouds still covered the sky. We have almost eaten all the dried fish we have stored, and there is a small bag left that is a little bad because the weather is too wet.

I've been out a few times in a raincoat and come back with a few coconuts. But these coconuts don't solve any problems.

An atmosphere of despair gripped the island.

We escaped the kidnappers and swam to this island for the rest of our lives, expecting to be free from death, but a heavy rain extinguished the flame of their hope.

I don't know if the two of them will make it until help arrives.

I deeply know that in desperate situations, the desire to survive often determines life and death. I also tried my best to muster their courage.

"Baa-" The wild goat was very happy, and he was already familiar with us. Every time I came down from the cave, it would stick its neck out and yell at me.

Looking at this fat ram, I hesitated in my heart whether to kill it, so that I could also improve the food for Su Jin and Li Shanshan and nourish their increasingly weak bodies.

But now I don't have a fire. In addition, I have been with this sheep for a long time, just like a partner, and I feel a little reluctant.

There was always a big wolf on the headland, and the fish cages in the lake didn't know where they were washed away by the waves. In this kind of weather, fishing is impossible. So I had to go back to the island to see if I could find something to eat.

The last time I visited the island, I found plantain trees and nutmeg trees, and I wanted to see if I could find a few plantain in addition to coconuts. In addition, there are many seabirds on the island, so it would be good if you were lucky enough to find a few eggs.

The low-lying pond on the island was filled with water because of the heavy rains, and the water overflowed into the pond to form a stream and flow into the sea.

I had to go into the woods next to me to avoid the pond, which had been enlarged two or three times as wide, and while I was looking for the plantain, I was hit on the head by something, and then my eyes lit up, and I almost screamed with joy.

It's a mango tree.

I'm a northerner and I'm not familiar with mango trees, so I only noticed when a fist-sized mango touched my head.

Reach out and pluck the mango, the golden mango exudes an alluring aroma. Although the mango is still very hard and not fully ripe, I am deeply grateful to God for finding this fruit.

I picked off four or five of the yellow ones, and hurried back to the cave with my clothes pocket.

"Look, what did I bring back?" I showed the mango to Su Jin and Li Shanshan.

"Mango ——?" The two of them were lying sickly, but when they saw the golden mango, they both struggled to sit up.

"Hmm. This is good stuff and can be supplemented with vitamins. As I spoke, I cut one with my knife and handed it to both of them to eat.

Although the unripe mango was not sweet and even a little sour, they both ate a few pieces.

I ate a piece too. I can't tell what it tastes like in my mouth. But there is something in the stomach that makes it very comfortable.

Su Jin and Li Shanshan ate a few pieces of mangoes, and their mood was much better.

"Let's go out and breathe. Su Jin said to Li Shanshan.

"It's raining outside, so it's best to stay in the cave honestly, and if you get sick, it's over!" I reminded them.

"No, not really. I'm going to suffocate! What's the difference between staying here and going to jail?" Li Shanshan fiercely resisted.

"Let's go out and come back, will it be okay?" Su Jin's eyes also showed a light of expectation.

I knew I couldn't stop them, and seeing that it wasn't raining very much, I told them to wear hats. The two of them climbed out of the cave in high spirits.

I walked around the drizzly beach with the two of them, and stood under the bushes looking at the misty lake, until the rain began to fall again, and the two of them ran back laughing and laughing.

"Turn your back on your face. We have to change our clothes!" Li Shanshan said to me with a pretended to be powerful. Then quickly peel off the wet clothes that have stuck to your body.

"Why do I feel so cold? It hurts me. That night, Su Jin shivered and complained softly.

"It's not cold!" Li Shanshan said in wonder.

I stretched out my hand and put it on Su Jin's head, and it was as hot as fire.

What I was worried about finally happened, Su Jin caught a cold!
