One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

Chapter 164 Island Day 96 Gambling

Both wild boars, one big and one small, were transported back to the camp, and it took a lot of effort to carry them back from the forest, especially the big wild boar that died tragically.

The crocodile meat has already been eaten, and the dog meat is half over. After a while, they should go on a diet again. The appearance of these two pigs can prolong their food shortage for a long time. Leave it alone, who would be willing?

In order to move the big wild boar out of the trap, they set up a tripod again, and then Jiang Xinran took the vines that saved her life and went down the trap with Yao Yanan, tied the vines to the boar, and others pulled them.

This wild boar weighed more than 200 catties at least. The first time it was lifted, the old, weak and sick were almost taken into the trap;

The second time it was pulled, the vine broke, and the pulled pig's head groaned into the wooden thorn again. If the blood hadn't dried up, Jiang Xinran standing beside it would definitely be flushed all over.It was not until the fourth time that the head and tail were pulled together that the wild boar was pulled from the trap.

After pulling up the wild boar, they put a few logs on the trap, then put the wild boar down, and used the logs to slowly transport the wild boar back to the yard. For this reason, they also demolished the courtyard door to make it easier for it to enter.

It took an entire afternoon, and when the big wild boar was transported back, Han Tang and Mu Jie had boiled a bucket of water in the yard, and the crimson flame burning the iron bucket was like the sunset glow burning from the western sky.

The old man poured boiled water on the wild boar, scraped off the softened hair with a machete, and then cut off the meat that was easier to cut piece by piece. When encountering bones that were difficult to cut, he asked Lin Jianfei to put on a saw that squeaked .Wen Siqi sat next to the old man and clapped his hands, while Mu Jie continued to boil the water.

The old lady brought the cut meat and pig's trotters to the kitchen and stewed them. Ye Yajie and Han Tang helped, while Jiang Xinran and the three sat on the corridor with a bamboo chair, holding honey water and resting.

They didn't take a good rest all afternoon. If they didn't take a rest, they might not have to get up tomorrow.

Ruanxiang leaned against her arms and sat on the bamboo chair. Jiang Xinran continued to talk about the innocent topic in her arms. Her eyes always fell on Wen Siqi, who was a few steps away. She was worried, eager, and her intertwined fingertips unconsciously touched her. .

The only iron pot was brought to the cave on the northeast side. The clay pot was not as conductive as the iron pot. It was almost 07:30 in the evening when the rotten pig's feet were stewed before they started eating.

Dinner is mainly meat, stewed pig's trotters with clams and mushrooms, fried pig's heart with fungus and palm... If you don't dare to make your stomach too greasy, you don't need to eat bread and fruit.

"Wait, why am I eating this stuff??"

Seeing the added pig's heart in the bowl, Ye Yajie suddenly lost her appetite.

"Siqi said that the pig's heart has the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, which is good for the heart. Sister, remember to eat more."

Before the conversation was over, there were two more pig hearts in the bowl, Ye Yajie grinned her teeth full of disgust and leaned back a little distance, and put the bowl in front of Jiang Xinran without hesitation.

"I think you should eat more than me. There are sharks and wild boars. I am a person who can't see clearly from behind. I am far less frightened than you. You should eat."

Ye Yajie was expressionless.

"Come on, it's just your broken heart. We weren't scared to death by sharks and wild boars, but we were almost scared to death by you." Wang Zhenzhen, who was sitting diagonally across from her, rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of pig heart and ate it with relish.

Ye Yajie stared at her, and before she could 'roll up her sleeves', Jiang Xinran brought back the bowl she took away, "Sister, I won't force you to do anything else, but this time, you must eat."

"Just let me rest assured and take a slice or two, okay?" The tone was casual and weak, full of obvious pleadings.

There is a type of people who are always stubborn but not soft, and Ye Yajie is obviously this type of person.

Under Jiang Xinran's euphemistic begging, she picked up the chopsticks stiffly, and mechanically picked up a piece of pig's heart from the bowl.

Just like durian, people who like it will not have any rejection of its taste, and those who don't like it will not even want to smell the taste, and the same is true for pig heart.

The smell of pig's heart that has been deflavored by ginger is not too strong, but to Ye Yajie, its smell is extremely pungent.

Resisting the urge of nausea, Ye Yajie chewed a few times casually, and then swallowed it whole. The taste of resistance made her whole face crumpled together.

Opening her eyes again, she saw a sense of clarity, plain and bland, although not very impressive, but quite seductive, but for some reason, Ye Yajie felt creepy in this plain smile, as if she was missed.

In the blink of an eye, talking and laughing in the ear, the smile on the other side was the same as usual, and he didn't look at himself, as if it was just his own illusion.

No, definitely not an illusion!

This woman, Wen Siqi, is definitely going to do something!

Ye Yajie stared at Wen Siqi vigilantly, and she even felt that Jiang Xinran's act of pinching her heart was also prompted by Wen Siqi.

Amidst such suspicions, Ye Yajie finished the dinner, and Wen Siqi ignored her from the beginning to the end.

Really delusional?

After struggling for a while, Ye Yajie put the matter behind her. She cared more about Jiang Xinran than Wen Siqi. Yao Yanan raised the suspicion that wild boars attacked them.

It stands to reason that wild boars would not take the initiative to attack people when they were not stimulated, but the three wild boars in the afternoon not only showed hostility to them, but also chased after them, and their attitude was as hostile to hunting dogs.

After several times of analysis, they didn't come to a conclusion. The only guess that made them think the most likely was Wen Siqi's suggestion, the smell.

When they went to pick breadfruit before, they found the footprints of wild boars under the breadfruit tree. It can be estimated that it is the territory that wild boars think, and they came back from picking a few breadfruits every now and then. After meeting Jiang Xinran and the others in the pursuit of the hunting dogs in the afternoon, hostility arose.

This guess is very likely. People are territorial, let alone animals. They break into the chassis that wild boars think of from time to time, and it is not surprising that they are regarded as enemies.

After solving the confusion, Wang Zhenzhen talked about the thrill of being chased.

There is no exaggeration, just retelling what I saw and heard, adding some moments of life and death when I was hunted yesterday, the blood on Ye Yajie's face was almost scared back to my heart.

Then, she pulled Jiang Xinran to give him an in-depth education.

Jiang Xinran lowered her head, with a humble repentance.

But she must not be modest, she must dare to show an expression that she would dare to do next time, and Ye Yajie must not be so angry that she would get sick, Jiang Xinran did not want such a thing to happen, so she lowered her head and seriously reviewed it.

It took more than half an hour after the first inspection, before Ye Yajie reluctantly stopped caring under Wen Suiyun's coquettishness, and was dragged back to the wooden house to "get along" with Wang Zhenzhen.

"call……"

He let out a long mouthful of turbid air, and with the fall of the chest cavity, the fear that was suppressed would no longer surge uncontrollably.

Jiang Xinran looked down at her hands on her lap, she could clearly feel the trembling from her fingertips.

The fear never dissipated. From yesterday's narrow escape to when Wang Zhenzhen went back to the danger, the calm fear broke out again. If she hadn't seen Ye Yajie's frightened look, Jiang Xinran didn't know what she would be distracted.

Probably... his face was bloodless.

Looking at and remembering, a glass of water was placed on the table beside him, and the tip of his nose was gently sniffed, there was a faint sweet smell, it was honey water.

Pick up the water, the water temperature is already cold, just at the right temperature.Xiao Xiao pursed her mouth, but Jiang Xinran didn't raise her head, "You didn't even say a few words for me."

"Are you sure my dissuasion won't backfire?" There was someone sitting beside her, and even if she didn't look back, she could imagine Wen Siqi's smile at the moment.

That's right, letting Wen Siqi come over to persuade Ye Yajie might make Ye Yajie more anxious, no matter how reckless she is, Wen Siqi is not as reckless in Ye Yajie's eyes.

Wen Siqi is not a person who blindly seeks stability, as long as there is a chance of success, she will choose to take risks, but her adventure is not to rush forward recklessly, she will do a lot of work first, grasp the success in her hands, and then take action Recklessness in the eyes of others.

Although there will be times when they lose, they are all saved.

Such a person speaks for herself who is also aggressive, Ye Yajie might listen to her fooling around?

Certainly not!Or maybe she was eager to pull herself away from Wen Siqi's side, lest anyone who got close to ink would be blacked out.

So, here comes Wen Suiyun.

"However, I can understand some of Miss Ye's feelings."

As soon as he came back to his thoughts, he heard Wen Siqi say these words in his ear.

Jiang Xinran was quite surprised and turned to look at her, for a moment she even forgot to feel the fear.

Wen Siqi was holding the pottery cup, and the flames illuminated her cheeks. She smiled softly and said: "Although the oral presentation is a bit off-putting, the thrills inevitably have an impact, and I think about it unconsciously. What if you fail to catch the vine? What if the vine suddenly breaks? Even though the matter is over, you are sitting in front of you safely, but you still cannot restrain yourself from fear of bad results."

She paused, raised her head to look at Jiang Xinran, and said with a smile: "When I think of such a possibility, it's hard to keep calm, and I can't help but want to blame you for acting recklessly."

Hearing this, Jiang Xinran couldn't help but feel happy. Wen Siqi's fear was enough to show that she already had a considerable place in her heart.

Involuntarily, she recalled Wen Siqi's question when she fell asleep last night: [I never thought about it before going into the water, if the rescue fails, what will Suiyun do? 】

Wen Siqi replied to her: [I am not a qualified mother. 】

He also said that he only wanted to take a gamble at that time, and bet on his life to go to the future.

She won.

"However, as a life gambler, how can I say that about you?"

As if the thoughts in my heart have been guessed, the words whispering in my ears are seamlessly connected with the thoughts in my heart.

When she recovered, she saw Wen Siqi shaking her head, as if feeling helpless towards herself.

Jiang Xinran looked at her for a while, then tapped the board on the table with her fingertips, "I think everyone is a gambler in life, and every choice is a gamble. If you win, you can get the chips you want; if you lose , or have nothing, or start a new life, you are just one of the more radical bets among all living beings."

Of course, me too.

She secretly said, looking at Wen Siqi.

Unsurprisingly, Wen Siqi was also looking at her, smiling sweetly, "The losers are miserable, but the winners are beautiful?"

Jiang Xinran happily replied, "Yes, it's a beautiful win."

Looking at each other, the smile reflected in the pupils makes the eyes reluctant to move away.

She is, and so is she.

"May I give you a hug?"

In a moment of trance, Jiang Xinran heard a whisper, as if it was Zhang Qi in her ear, and an electric current started from the cochlea to shake her whole body.

Jiang Xinran's body tightened.

It wasn't resistance, it was because she was shy, a little, a little bit shy.

However, she stood up without hesitation, opened her hands, and opened her heart.

In fact, she also wanted a hug, a hug with peace of mind.

When Wen Siqi opened her hands, Jiang Xinran stepped forward.

One step, embrace the future.

Jiang Xinran was a head taller than Wen Siqi. When she folded her arms, she also took off the effort to straighten her back, and her slightly bent shoulders just rested on Wen Siqi's chin.

The arms are gradually closed, and they are gently attached to the slender waist. Through the wide and rough grass clothes, they can feel the beating in the chest of the person in their arms that is consistent with their own heart. From excitement to calm, they listen quietly. , I heard the gentleness of peace of mind.

Wen Siqi is still Wen Siqi, no matter when, even if she is in the same panic as herself, she will immediately comfort other people who are afraid and confused.

She thinks, maybe it's because of her personality, or maybe it's because of her growth environment, that no matter what Wen Siqi does, she always thinks about other people's feelings from the perspective of others.

Such a character behavior is very suitable for a career in public service, such as a doctor or a soldier, but she is not.

Feeling the gentle caress on her back, Jiang Xinran slightly tightened her embraced arms.

The fire in the yard is burning brightly, and the light illuminates the yard. A beam of light shines on the dining table, echoing the crackling fire in the clay pot, and the flickering light overlaps the shadows falling on the ground.

Embracing each other, relying on each other, quietly embracing...

After a while, whispers rang in my ears.

"I don't like gambling. Compared with gambling, I prefer to go with the flow and be ordinary. I don't have to be careful all the time, and I don't like to choose everywhere."

"But life can only be a gamble, and going with the flow is also a gamble."

As long as it is a choice, it is a gamble.

After Wen Siqi finished speaking, she let go of her arms and opened the distance again.

Looking at each other again, she smiled softly, sat back on the tree stump, took a sip of water from the water glass, and then changed the topic, without giving Jiang Xinran any time to feel shy or empathetic.

"Don't look outside for these two days, rest in the camp for a while to recharge your spirits, and in a few days you will have to go to the northeast to wait for guard."

It will be another 20 days before the ship passes by on the northeast side. In three or four days, they should go to the northeast side to wait for the ship to pass by.Before that, they had to redo a raft, and the time was tight.

Jiang Xinran shifted her mind very wisely, took a deep look at Wen Siqi, then sat down and pondered: "If possible, I would like to use bamboo as a raft. The material of bamboo is lighter than wood, and the speed of sailing is faster than that of wooden rafts. When you see a ship, It can be approached more quickly."

Jiang Xinran did not intend to give up her decision to approach the ship, so she expressed her thoughts to Wang Zhenzhen and Yao Yanan when she was resting in the evening.

Although the shadow of the shark is still there, Yao Yanan and Wang Zhenzhen don't want to give up the idea of ​​returning to human society as soon as possible.

Just like what Jiang Xinran said just now, everyone is a gambler in life, and without much hesitation, they agreed to this gambling-like suggestion.

"Bamboo rafts...it's also possible." Wen Siqi pondered.

There are still many bamboos in the bamboo forest behind the wooden house, but most of them are young bamboos. There are not many bamboos suitable for making bamboo rafts, but it is not impossible to make a bamboo raft for four or five people.

In this way, the two of them changed the topic naturally without any hindrance.Afterwards, the two discussed the issues that needed attention regarding the ship.

Ye Yajie, who leaned out of the window to eavesdrop, beat her chest and stamped her feet while Yao Yanan and Mu Jie shook their heads and sighed.

This love... is so weak...

The author has something to say:

Note: The difference between Wen Siqi and Jiang Xinran is 10 centimeters. Is the gap just down to the chin? I couldn't find a comparison. I checked Du Niang and said it looks okay. If there is a difference... let's forget it!
