"Tut Tuk, Tuk Tuk."

That night, there was only a small curved crescent in the sky, and the dark clouds blocked all the stars in the sky. It seemed that a new round of heavy snow was brewing.

On the pitch-black sea, there is only a cluster of fires flickering inside the small cabin on Snake Turtle Island, driving away the surrounding darkness. Like a most hypnotic lullaby.

Half-dream and half-awake, Song Wen seemed to hear a sound of constant frequency, like a sound caused by a stone hitting something.

Yi was the first to wake up, and his eyes still had a daze of just waking up. He rubbed his eyes, and looked sideways at Song Wen who was sleeping next to him.

I don't know if it's because of the cold temperature, Song Wen curled up slightly, buried most of his body in Yi's arms, his brows were tightened by the noise of "duk tuk" outside, as if he was about to wake up at any moment .

Yi reached out and patted Song Wen's arm lightly through the thick animal skin blanket. Song Wen used to like to coax him to sleep like this. It probably really worked. His expression slowly relaxed.

Yi ignored the outside voices, watched Song Wen slowly fall asleep again, unconsciously rubbed against his arms, couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips happily, he leaned over, and looked at the other party's tightly knit brows Kissing up and down, he stretched out his hand to gently smooth the folds on the top, and waited patiently until Song Wen's breathing also calmed down, then Yi quietly got up, and carefully covered his vacant place tightly to prevent the cold wind from blowing him. Go into the bed and freeze Song Wen.

There was only a little flame left in the fire, and the red charcoal was contributing the last trace of residual heat. Yi took two pieces of firewood and threw them in, lighting the fire again.

The island will stop before it gets completely dark, but that doesn't mean it can stay where it is. Even if it doesn't move, the sea will take them to another direction. Fortunately, the snake turtle You have a strong sense of direction, you can just adjust the direction the next day, but you don’t have to worry about getting lost at sea.

Wing lifted the door curtain, which was made of branches and dry grass, with a bit of seabird feathers in the middle. Every time it was lifted, there would be a clicking sound, which was more obvious in the silent night.

Hearing the sound, Ah Hen raised his head slightly, pointed his wings between his lips, and made a motion to silence it, Ah Hen tilted his neck, his eyes were a little puzzled, but he obediently did not make a sound, It looked into the wooden box where Fatty slept next to it, and then moved its body a little to block the cold wind blowing in from under the curtain for Fatty.

The flames were blown around and shook a few times, Yi had already moved quickly and walked out.

The sky is dark, and only the crescent moon can bring a little light to the world when it is not blocked by clouds. Yi's eyesight is very good, but he can barely see the outline of the surrounding things clearly, so that his eyes will not be caught in the dark.

"Tuk Tuk."

The sound was still faintly coming from the darkness. After listening carefully for a while, I found that the sound came from the sea. Judging from the distance, it should not be far from the cabin they were in.

The voice was a bit weird at first, if it was Song Wen, he probably would not have the courage to go to investigate alone in the dark, obviously Yi would not regard this voice as some ghost legend, it would only annoy the other party Make noise in the middle of the night to disturb their sleep.

Yi didn't need to light a torch, he walked along the sound, the island was not woken up, its sleep quality was obviously much better than the people on Turtle Island, if the day is still 24 hours, the island can He slept directly for more than [-] hours, and the remaining few hours were spent chatting with Song Wen and others, and accepting Song Wen's feeding by the way.

There are dozens of depilated seabirds frozen in their warehouse, as well as a lot of sea fish and wild vegetables and fruits. Although they can't completely feed the island, it's okay to taste a little food every day. Now the island The food intake was maintained at about the same level as Song Wen's, and it would not eat any more food.

Occasionally, if a school of fish passes by, Xiao Dao will let go of his stomach and eat a big meal. Unfortunately, as the weather gradually turns cold, there are fewer and fewer active fish schools around, and they have not seen adult fish for a long time. Schools of sea fish too.

Even the krill, which is common in the North Sea, seems to have found a place to spend the winter early and rarely moves around.

The darkness in the sea was much thicker than the surrounding night. Yi stood on the shore and saw no traces of activity in the sea. He walked around the nearby coast and saw no creature approaching the snake. Half step to Turtle Island.

Feeling a little confused, I picked up a stone casually, and after identifying the direction, the stone was thrown out accurately.

There was a clear sound of "dong" falling into the water, causing a splash of water, and the sound of "duk-duk" stopped. I don't know if it was frightened by the stone.

Yi waited for a while, and the surroundings fell into silence again. Occasionally, the sea breeze blew by, bringing a salty smell of the sea.

The voice seemed to be really frightened, and Yi sat cross-legged on the bank, wrapped her animal fur clothes tightly, and touched her bare ankles. After only a short while, the skin touched by her hands was already icy cold. Go to the fire to warm up your body, otherwise Song Wen will be easily woken up from the cold.

Yi looked at the sky, then at the sea, and thought wildly.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, after confirming that the sound had indeed disappeared, Wing stood up, patted the snowflakes on his body, and started to walk back. The snow is about to fall.

Maybe it's not just snow, it may be a freezing rain.

Rain and snow in autumn will always come alternately, but for Yi, it doesn’t matter whether it’s snowing or raining. Now that they have a wooden house, no matter how heavy the rain is, they won’t be able to drench them. The wind and waves are the biggest threat to them.

Before returning to the wooden house, Yi went to the place where they stored the materials and fixed everything again. Then he decided to go back and catch up on the cage sleep again. After estimating the time, in fact, it is not far from dawn, and it will not be long. The pheasant behind the cabin is about to start crowing.

Yi wondered whether to take this opportunity to find a rope to tie up the cock's mouth.

Unwaiting Yi finally put his thoughts into action, "Du Tu, Du Tu." A sound like a stone hitting an object came from the night again, Yi turned his head to look, and narrowed his eyes slightly, He returned to the shore, with several stones in his hand, and fell steadily into the water when the sound sounded, and the sound stopped soon.

The crowing of the rooster sounded on time, Song Wen couldn't help shivering, moved to the side, only to find that the bed was empty, the person who usually likes to stay in bed didn't sleep in the bed today.

Song Wen woke up and looked at the fire that was still burning. New firewood was added inside, and the fire was warm and warm, but the air around was a little too dry. Ah Hen found that Song Wen opened his eyes and looked this way See, the emperor penguin is a light sleeper and wakes up early before the rooster starts crowing.

"Good morning, Ah Hen." Song Wen's voice was a little dry and hoarse. He got up, poured half a bowl of warm water from the stone pot that was warming by the fire, and moistened his throat. Fatty is still sleeping.

Except for the cubs, the harpies usually sleep standing up the same way as the emperor penguins. Flying in time, it is convenient whether it is directly facing or retreating.

Ah Man's head was encircled by huge black wings, like an upright black giant egg, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside. Zhong guessed that the other party might not be awake yet, so he relaxed his movements a lot. After getting dressed, he opened the curtain and went out, wanting to see where Yi ran to early in the morning.

A gust of cold wind came head-on, mixed with snowflakes, I don’t know when it started snowing, the water waves on the sea surface were a bit big, the sky was dark, Song Wen frowned, the most feared thing on the sea was the weather It suddenly became bad. After all, the size of the small island is not big enough to not be afraid of wind and waves.

Ahen came out right behind Song Wen. It didn't know how to open the curtain. Song Wen needed to help it. Ahen accepted the cold outside well. He shook his hair and straightened his neck, but he didn't Make a noise so as not to wake the sleeping harpies in the house.

The snow on the road leading to the shore was not very thick. It could be seen that the snow had just arrived, and it was obviously turning into sleet. Song Wen's face felt wet when it fell on it.

There was the sound of wah wah wah water not far away, and Yi crawled out of the sea naked, with a wicker basket on his back, which he would bring with him every time he went out to sea, to help him catch Put the sea fish that arrived in it. Dolphins used to have one of these rattan baskets. If the rattan basket is not filled to the brim, one person and two dolphins would not be willing to turn back.

It's just that Yi hasn't tried to go to sea for a long time since he separated from Xiaoyi and the others. The sea has changed a lot, and without dolphins to take him with him, Song Wen has been worried that Yi will not come back if he goes out.

"Why did you go to sea so early?" Song Wen hurried over, picked up the animal fur coat on the ground and put it on Yi. It had been on the ground for a long time, and Yi was worried that the clothes would be blown away by the sea wind. A stone was pressed on it, and after some snowflakes had accumulated, the hair on the animal skin coat had been dampened and became cold and hard.

Song Wen frowned, pulled his wings and wanted to go back to the wooden house first.

There was a rope around Yi's waist, which he had stretched at night with the rope they already had. Naturally, Yi knew that his swimming skills were not very good, and there was a storm on the sea, so he wanted to swim at this time. Going to the sea naturally needs to give himself more protection, and Yi doesn't want Song Wen to worry about him.

He wiped the drops of water from his forehead and comforted him, "I'm fine."
