When I heard this conversation, I found that there were Xiao Lelin and Yan Ruyu on the leather raft. They also looked very embarrassed, especially Xiao Lelin. The injury on his lower leg looked particularly ferocious, and even the bones could be seen clearly.
I didn't speak. I stared at the blue sky and white clouds above and prayed in my heart that the sun could set earlier. In this way, Qiu Linyan's wound would not be inflamed because of the high temperature.
The sky gradually darkened. There was endless sea water around. There was nothing else and no navigation. Even if we slid the leather raft together, we didn't know where to go. We were completely lost and forgotten in this sea area.
I don't know how long it has passed. I feel very thirsty. Seeing that Qiu Linyan's lips are also dry and cracked, I bent over and put them in the sea for a few times, picked up a little water and tasted it. It's very salty. It doesn't quench my thirst at all. If I drink too much, I will be poisoned.
Qiu Linyan couldn't drink such water at all. My heart sank bit by bit.
The sky was getting darker and darker. When the stars were full, a group of us found an island in front of us. Immediately, like seeing hope, we rowed the leather raft to the island and cheered to the island.
I helped Qiu Linyan to walk on the sandy land on the island. Someone was talking in the distance. We thought someone was sailing to stop here. We hurried over and found that there were also several people who escaped from the ship, huddled together and sat on a concave ground.
They seemed to be looking for food on the island. When they saw us, they immediately guarded a big fish they had just caught. Seeing that several of our men were injured and women were weak, they put down their heart and scolded us: "get out, this is our territory."
I put Qiu Linyan under a big tree, let him lean against the trunk, tore a piece of cloth off his clothes, cleaned his wound, and then put on a bandage. Although I don't know whether it works or not, it's better than nothing.
The night wind is strong, the waves fluctuate, and the coolness runs around. I always understand why those people nest in that concave place. There are two trees next to them, which can keep out the wind,
"Qiu Linyan, you see, we can all escape from the ship, so you will be fine, won't you?" I stroked Qiu Linyan's face and asked with hope.
Qiu Linyan raised his hand, held my hand, smiled faintly and said, "little sister, I promise you, you will be fine."
"Yes, you'll be fine!" I said, gritting my teeth.
Standing up and looking at it, I found that there was a convex reef not far in front, which could drive me crazy. I moved Qiu Linyan over there, took off my coat and put it on the reef, and let Qiu Linyan lean against it. "I'll find some food and water. Don't move. Be careful that the wound is bleeding again."
As I was about to leave, Qiu Linyan took my hand and said, "be careful. The people who came to the island just now don't look easy to provoke. Don't conflict with them."
I nodded solemnly, put a stone into his hand, and then left with a confused mood. I began to look for something to use on the island. Although there were still a few big trees on the island, it was really desolate. At a glance, it was bare everywhere, not even grass. Finally, I jumped into the sea and dived slowly downward.
This time, I have no fear, nor fear. Even those former shadows have not appeared in my mind for a moment, because all my mind is occupied by one thing. I want to find food for Qiu Linyan, so that we can live safely and have a rescue team to save us.
I don't know what can be eaten in the sea. Fortunately, I also know abalone. This kind of meat is very tender. If it is eaten raw, it should be no problem. In the crack of the reef, I found a sharp stone and took it up and put it in my pocket.
Eat well. On the beach, you can swim and always find something to eat raw, but the key is that without water, people can not eat for seven days, but if there is no water for three days, they will die of thirst.
