One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

Chapter 23 Island Day 3: Wind and Rain

At 3:6 p.m. Northern time, the island is around [-]:[-] p.m.

Jiang Xinran put down her hands, looking at the flickering lights of the fire, feeling restless.

Almost six hours have passed since the rain fell, and the wind is getting stronger and louder, making noise around me unreasonably, and the raindrops caught by it have also changed from rejoice to overlord, which is unreasonable.

Under the blessing of the wind, the bean-sized raindrops crackled on the hanging plastic sheeting, and the howling wind blew it loudly, as if it was going to go away in the next second, making people who relied on it shelter couldn't bear it. Don't worry about how long it will last.

Wen Suiyun felt timidly curious about the wind and rain from the gap where the plastic sheet was blown up.

She sat obediently on a rock with her legs together, her hands were hidden between her stomach and her legs, the whistle was in her palm, and her eyes looked at the sea through the gap raised by the wind, with curiosity and fear in her eyes.

The surface of the sea was dark, just like the scene she saw three days ago. There was only a dark world that made her afraid, but a column of water surged up on the surface of the sea, spinning and spinning, dancing with an unknown rhythm to an invisible place in the distance , which surprised and curious her.

"looking at what?"

Her mother's soft words came from behind her, and her gentle and peaceful words wiped away her fear, and she turned around and described what she saw to her mother with a strange expression.

"That's the wind taking it to see the distant scenery."

Is that right?

The doubts always feel bigger, but looking at the smile that is just around the corner, Wen Suiyun feels that it is what his mother said.

She turned her head back again, this time she couldn't see the scenery just now, a palm blocked her view, she looked back again in doubt.

"Don't stay too far from the fire, be careful of catching a cold."

Then she was pulled and sat in her mother's arms.

The light of the fire shone on the face, giving it a little warmth. The iron barrel was placed above the fire, and the flames burned the body of the barrel black and hot, and the sound of water churning in the iron barrel could be heard.

There is fire and hot water, which should be a very happy thing, but everyone shrinks up with a sullen face, and some people are chanting like they are chanting scriptures.

The words couldn't stop in my ears, some could be understood, some couldn't be understood, sometimes they could be heard clearly, sometimes they couldn't be heard clearly, it was a headache and at the same time, I couldn't help but worry about whether she would be okay.

Wen Suiyun secretly looked around, the person didn't feel that he was looking at her, he just talked to the people around him, and even drew glaring glances from the person sitting diagonally across from her.

After not watching for a while, the person who listened to her looked over and smiled at her.

Wen Suiyun grinned happily, and just about to strike up a conversation, that person turned her gaze away again, and she could only turn her gaze away angrily, and then turned her eyes around the other people's faces.

The two flight attendant sisters leaned on each other, just like after the storm, one leaned against the other, leaning their heads on each other's shoulders, but the other put his hand into his pocket at this moment, stretched it out for a while, and then hid it back again, When stretched out, it will secretly look at others, and then hide hesitantly.

This made Wen Suiyun very strange, and wanted to see what happened, but the other party stretched out his empty hand from his pocket and didn't move again.

With some regret, he looked away again.Uncle Lin poked his head out of the shelter again, not knowing what he was doing, and then came back wet.

Grandpa held the firewood on his lap, and added one or two sticks to the fire from time to time. Grandma was looking at the boiled shellfish in the iron box, saying a word or two of blessings from time to time, and Sister Wang beside her was still holding the high-heeled , looking at the fire, staring at Sister Ye on the opposite side every now and then.

Turning her eyes again, she looked to the side. Aunt Tang Tang seemed to be very uncomfortable. She always moved her body here and there. It was obvious that the place where she was sitting was the softest, with several layers of foam padded.

Because of having a baby?

Wen Suiyun stared at Han Tang's protruding belly for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he turned his gaze away again.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and strange sounds could be heard from time to time amidst the noise of the wind and the wind and the surging waves, as if it came from the shelter.

Because it was built in a hurry, the shelter was like a bone with only the skin on it. Once the skin was peeled off, all the bones and internal organs wrapped inside were exposed.

The leaves covered by the thatch also fell into the gap due to haste, and some of the rainwater that fell along the inclined angle took advantage of the gap and fell in the shelter, and some fell from behind the shelter facing south. The back is blown in with the wind.

It was cold and uncomfortable.

The fire is not strong, and the wind passing through the shield can always blow it to death easily. At this time, there will always be a chill emerging from the body, and the chill will not leave the body until the flame returns to the original state. .

Wen Suiyun also felt it, and at this time she would bring herself closer to her mother's body.

"You can eat."

At this time, a wind blew in, and just as Wen Suiyun retracted his body again, his mother's voice sounded in his ears, not too big or too small, calm and steady, just like the steady flame at this time reassuring people.

Hearing this, everyone regained their spirits, the chanting calmed down, the people who cuddled with each other also distanced themselves, and their uncomfortable bodies became calm.

The old lady took out the coconut cores and chopsticks that were used as bowls from the foam box. Lin Jianfei took off the lid of the iron bucket, and the hot air evaporated the falling water droplets. Hot water is poured into the coconut cores, and the old lady hands them over to others.

Holding the coconut core in both hands, the empty core cannot isolate the heat, and it gradually becomes hot from the warmth when it first touched it, but no one let go, and the wind behind it is too cold.

It was clearly midsummer, but the temperature at this time was as cold as ice and snow.

Take a sip, hot.

Wen Suiyun couldn't help showing the same smile as everyone else.

hiss-

Just when happiness was about to rise, the plastic sheet tied to the tree suddenly broke the rope, half of the body was hunting in the wind, and the rain water poured into the shelter along its drawn corners, instantly soaking the area.

"ah!"

"The rain is coming in!"

"Reconnect it quickly, the fire is going out!"

Lin Jianfei jumped up, stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the plastic sheet and pulled it back forcefully.

But the rope broke, and the rope tied to the tree was blowing in the wind, and he had to climb up again, but the tree was going to break, and he saw the breach, a new one.

"Get out of the shelter, quick! The tree is about to break! Get out of here!"

In the howling wind came his tearing cries, like waves crashing on the shore, snapping their remaining calm.

"careful!"

"Slow down, don't fall."

"Get out of the way! Don't get in my way!"

"Mother……"

"Don't be afraid, mom is here."

The wind blew away the leaves that covered the beams, the raindrops splashed and extinguished the fire, and the iron barrels placed on the fire kept rattling and rattling.

Suddenly, there was a noisy collision, the iron bucket stopped babbling, life seemed to fall into silence, only the world was still jumping for joy, clapping its hands and smiling triumphantly.

It rained heavily, and it drenched the body all at once, and the hair was messed up. Everyone looked like a melting wax man, looking at the shelter with only the wreckage left.

Shelter is gone...

Gone……

After that... what to do?

Confused, overwhelmed.

"Brother Lin, please bring the cloth, everyone get closer, try to make the cloth cover everyone."

The sound that came to my ears was still familiar and calm, but I didn't know whether it was coming from the left or the right. The wind was too strong, and the sound was blown everywhere.

Jiang Xinran wiped her face to wipe off the water that blocked her vision.

Through the rain curtain, she saw that the master of the voice was right opposite her, and was approaching here, protecting her daughter and holding Han Tang's hand through the fallen tree.

"Guys, let's cover our heads with a plastic sheet and go a little further inside to find a thick tree and squat there."

Wen Siqi's voice came again, as her approach became clearer.

Lin Jianfei gathered the plastic sheet, pulled it hard a few times, and broke the rope still tied to the bottom of the tree, and moved closer to the center with the sheet between them.

Crackling - crackling -

The rain was heavy, and it made a lot of noise when it hit the plastic sheeting.

The vision cannot see the front clearly, the dim sky, the opaque plastic sheeting, the intersection of two and two pulls the vision into a deeper darkness, they can only listen, relying on trembling ears to be alert for approaching footsteps.

The wind whistled, walking around with weird steps.

It is very naughty, always bumping against the plastic sheet like a mischief, maintaining the same rhythm as the heartbeat.

a moment.

puff- puff-

The heart can't be calm, but the surroundings are suddenly quiet, there are rustling movements, as if there are footsteps carefully stepping on the fallen leaves, approaching, approaching...

So uncomfortable...so scary...

"Everyone, we're leaving. I'll go ahead. You follow me, two by two."

At this moment, the voices heard began to be chaotic again, the roar of the wind, the roar of the waves, the begging of leaves...interlacing, blending, melting...finally the peace in the ears.Like a kindergarten teacher guiding the children to cross the road, Wen Siqi's gentle calm fell into their ears again.

Their excited heart rhythms gradually calmed down, without hesitation, they obeyed the arrangement, one holding the plastic sheet and standing side by side.

"Got to go."

"Wait, wait." The old lady suddenly stopped, "The freshly cooked and grilled shellfish are still under the roof!"

"You are so stupid! What time is this, and you don't care what those useless things are doing!"

"You are so stupid! That is useless, it is food, it is life! If you don't take it back, you will be punished by God!"

"If you don't leave, you will be punished by God!"

Both of them were reasonable, and because they were straight, they got angry, loudly refuted the other's words that had been diluted by the wind and rain, and spoke in Nancheng dialect, which made it hard to hear.

Her mind was buzzing, Ye Yajie couldn't take it anymore, she turned her head and was about to growl, when a voice came from the front first.

"Grandma, grandma, don't argue, let's go to a safe place to stay first, and I will come back to get the food later."

It was still the same calm voice, even a little bit of a smile could be heard, which made people slander: hypocrisy.

Raising his eyes slightly, Wang Zhenzhen lowered his head again and silently followed the movement ahead.

In the dark jungle, the blue plastic sheet moves slowly in the wind and rain.

Just as he was advancing, there was a sudden clear sound from all around, exactly the same as the sound made by the tree just before it fell.

Before they were startled, they heard a huge bang, and the sand under their feet trembled suddenly, and even the people trembled together.

The heartbeat was beating uncontrollably again.

where is it?

do not know.

Will it still fall?

do not know.

Will it hit us?

do not know.

we……

I have no idea I have no idea!have no idea!Stop asking questions!

Fear spread uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart, to my limbs, it froze and trembled.

will die...will die...

"Everyone, we are going to cross over. Pay attention, you must look down at your feet, be careful, and don't slip when crossing."

A familiar voice sounded in his mind, calm, gentle and gentle, like a breeze blowing away the fear that spread to his heart.

Fear subsided again.

The tree fell on the road ahead, it wasn't very thick, Lin Jianfei could embrace it with just one arm, and the steps to step over it didn't need to be too big, and the group passed easily.

Swish, swish, swish—

Passing through the dense bushes and stepping on the vines blocking the way, in the darkness where they couldn't see the way ahead, they lowered their heads and followed Wen Siqi step by step.

I don't know how far I walked, how much time was blown away, only the sound of footsteps blowing whistles outside the plastic sheet became stronger.

"That's it."

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and even the fear stopped, only Wen Siqi's voice remained in his ears.

"There are many trees here, the body is strong, and the distance is close and it is not easy to be blown off. Let's settle here."

"I explored. There is no danger. Everyone forms a circle and gathers the edge of the cloth under your feet so that the rain will not splash in."

Following Wen Siqi's unhurried words, everyone slowly separated into a tight circle, and the plastic sheet covered them like a small yurt.

The rain no longer wets the body, only the cold wetness on the soles of the feet and the buttocks can be felt, which is uncomfortable, but the heart is calmed by it.

Suddenly, the wind came in again, along the corner that Wen Siqi opened, and the heavy rain was blowing in.

"Mother?"

Wen Suiyun hurriedly grabbed the hem of the person next to him.

"Yunyun, don't be afraid, mom is just going to get the things that were left behind, and she won't leave."

Wen Siqi let go of her daughter's little hand, then patted her little head to comfort her, then turned her head to look at the person beside her in the dark, "Tang Tang, Yunyun will get rid of your care for a while, I'll be right back."

"Well... well, I will... take good care of her."

Han Tang nodded, her dim vision could not let her see Wen Siqi's expression, nor could she understand what the other party was thinking.

Why does this weather have to pass?The child is not sick or sick, and he will not die after starving for a meal or two, so why take the risk of going back, what if something happens to his child?Should it be handed over to a group of irrelevant people like them?

This is a deserted island, a place where everyone wants to live. If you give the child to a group of people you just met for two days, aren't you afraid that strangers like them will attack her cruelly?

Just these strangers...

It's a stranger...

The wind no longer came in, and the whistled footsteps seemed to have gone far away, walking away with the silence that no one blessed.

"Mother……"

The fear of the language was clear on the tarpaulin. Han Tang hesitated for a long time, and stretched out his hand to the soft hair, "Don't worry, she will come back soon, I believe your mother..."

Will you come back safely?

Jiang Xinran hugged herself tightly, hiding her head in her bent legs.

She shrinks herself, shrinks...

Like her, they both hid themselves.
