"We rowed in the fog for a long time, and then came to the island. Anderson has been in deep remorse since he got on the island. He was originally the first mate on the ship and should live and die with Captain church. He said he felt like a deserter. I know he was not. He was a brave man just to save Mrs. Larry and me and get captain church's life I just got on the lifeboat.
Pardik was already injured. After such a toss, his injury became worse. We found a shelter on the island and waited for rescue. We hoped that someone would come to rescue us after the fog cleared. But we were also worried that once the fog cleared, we would not be able to hide. Several times I fell asleep and dreamed of being chased by a helicopter.
Later, the fog dispersed, no helicopter came after us, but no one came to save us. We waited on the island for three days, and the little food and water brought by the lifeboat soon ran out. Anderson said that we must be prepared to survive on the island for a long time, just like Tom Hanks in the rest of a desert island.
We made the last effort, lit a lot of dead branches, burning day and night, hoping that the fire and black smoke could attract the attention of passing ships in the distance. But this may be the stupidest thing we did, because we didn't expect that there would be savages on the island, and the fire would attract them.
Anderson took two sailors to the jungle on the island to look for food and water. Mrs. Larry and I stayed to take care of paldick because he couldn't move easily.
Anderson, not long after they left, the savages came.
I was picking up dead branches in the nearby woods to keep the fire burning. I heard Mrs. Larry shouting, Alice, run! Hide! Don't come out!
Her cry was so anxious and even a little hysterical, which was unprecedented. She was a serious person. She never smiled or yelled. Her cry frightened me very much. I didn't know what had happened. I hurriedly dropped the branches in my hand, hid in a crack behind a rock and looked at where we lived.
I saw pardik left by the fire. His injury was very serious. It must hurt very much. I seemed to feel the heart piercing pain. This feeling made me very painful, but what happened next made me understand that hell really exists. "
Alice trembled when she said this, and her eyes showed great fear, as if she had seen a ghost climbing out of hell.
Suhuilan hugged her shoulder and said, "don't be afraid, Alice, everything will be fine. You have to be strong!"
Alice nodded vigorously:
"I know, I know, I must be strong, as strong as Mrs. Larry! She is the strongest woman in the world and my example! If it weren't for her eyes, I don't think I could survive, I would be scared to death by what I saw!
Pardik lay on the ground and moaned. Mrs. Larry was tied up by them. She could see her from my position. I think she saw me too. I could understand her eyes. She was comforting me, telling me not to panic and telling me to live well.
Those savages, with spears and arrows in their hands, searched around the forest. As long as they took a few more steps, they could find the stone crack where I was hiding.
Mrs. Larry suddenly yelled and went crazy. The attention of the wild people was attracted by her. The leader went back and slapped her two ears. She stopped yelling and they didn't look for me anymore.
A savage stabbed padik to death with a spear and stabbed him in the neck. I saw him open his mouth as if to say something, but only blood gushed out of his mouth.
I was so frightened that I forgot to close my eyes. Like losing my soul, I looked at his body and kept convulsing until I finally didn't move.
They stripped pardik of his clothes, tied him to a stick and put him on a fire. My God! These savages took him as their hunting food!
They stripped Mrs. Larry of her clothes again. I thought she would suffer the same fate as pardik, but I guessed wrong. They raped her and lined up to vent their animal desires on her, just like a group of hyenas sharing an antelope.
This is hell! At that moment, I believe it!
My heart was full of despair, and I didn't even have the courage to cry out to God. I also forgot to run away. I just wanted to blind myself and kill myself so as not to be ruined by those animals.
But I saw Mrs. Larry's eyes.
Even in that case, there was no cowardice and sadness in her eyes. What I saw in her eyes was not despair and fear, but strength!
I remember my wife said before that when we choose Archaeology and science, we choose reality. We always only pursue truth and experience reality. With our knowledge and action, we dig out the truth that has long been covered up by civilization and see the past and possible future of a real world. In front of the truth, all vanity, happiness, sadness, anger and fear And desire are floating clouds. Only by overcoming these can we really grasp the real self and the universe.
She did it.
If she hadn't encouraged me with her eyes, I think I would have died and couldn't support them until Anderson came back.
I looked into my wife's eyes and watched those animals abuse her. I didn't close my eyes. I knew this was the truth - the real hell!
When Anderson and his family came back, the savage had gone, and there was only a pile of white bones left in pardik. Mrs. Larry was taken back by the savage as booty.
I was still behind a crack in the stone. Anderson was frightened when he found me because I was stiff like a zombie. And I was temporarily blind because I opened my eyes too wide and shed too many tears.
Anderson thought I was dead. He said my eyes were full of blood and looked terrible. I told them what was really terrible was what my eyes saw. I would rather be blind than see the same thing happen again.
All three men were shocked when I told them what I had seen. Then they had a heated argument. Anderson thought that he should follow the trail of the savage and save Mrs. Larry, although there was little hope that she would still be alive. The other two sailors disagreed with him and thought that what should be done now was to leave the ghost place while the savages didn't find the lifeboat we were hiding.
Anderson said we had weapons, but the sailors thought a few pistols couldn't deal with so many savages, and we didn't know how big the island was, and these savages were obviously indigenous here.
At last they looked at me for help, but I had no idea. It's not that I don't want to save Mrs. Larry. I'm not afraid of life and death. I'd rather exchange my life with my wife. But I seem to see her cool to terrible eyes again. I can read it. She never wants me to do a meaningless thing.
I said to them in an almost indifferent tone: get on the boat and let's get out of here.
Anderson looked at me in surprise, but he agreed.
We hurried to bury pardik's bones, got into the lifeboat and left.
I looked at the coastline gradually away, and felt like a ghost fleeing hell in a hurry, on the way to reincarnation. But the other soul stayed on the island and suffered forever in the dark hell.
Anderson exclaimed shortly after the boat was rowed.
I turned my head and found a misty mountain shadow on the sea ahead. The mountain shadow gradually became clear, and the lines of rolling ridges could be seen. Not just across from us, but in all directions.
The vast sea we were in turned into a great lake. "
