One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island
Chapter 72 The Island Day 23 Stream and Wooden House
"There's light! We're at the beach!"
The voice of joy jumped with the footsteps.Soon, four figures rushed out of the forest one after another.
Suddenly, the sun is shining brightly.
Jiang Xinran raised her hand to cover her eyes, squinting to adapt to the southern sun.
Unlike the cliffs on the northeast side that block the direct sunlight, the beach on the south side has no shelter. The strong sunlight falls on the beach, making it difficult to open your eyes.
There is also a strong wind, and the roar seems to hear the raging sound of that night.
"It's so windy."
Yao Yanan squinted her eyes and muttered something, then observed the whole beach under the cover of her palm.
The beach is very big, even bigger than what you see from a high place. At first glance, it seems that there is no end. She remembers that the water she saw was in the north of the middle of the beach.
current seat...
"Xiaojie, hold it, I'll go up the tree and check the seat."
Handing the spear in his hand to Mu Jie, Yao Yanan found an easy-to-climb tree nearby.
Sitting on the top of the tree and watching, Yao Yanan estimated the distance, and it was about a few hundred meters away from the point from the beach to the stream.
What a big beach.
Secretly sighing, Yao Yanan climbed down the tree and told Jiang Xinran and Mu Jie of her speculation.
Jiang Xinran pondered for a moment, then decided: "Let's go."
"Hey wait, don't you want to pick two?" Wang Zhenzhen suddenly called to them, standing next to a few clusters of fruit plants not far away and said anxiously.
Looking from the three of them, there are several rosette-shaped fruit plants with low clusters of sword leaves, half the height.There are a few scattered trees near the fruit plant, and the vegetation is half covered and half exposed to the sun.
Just now they were only thinking about the water problem, so they didn't notice the clusters of fruit plants nearby.
Walking forward and poking his head, Wen Suiyun has a head-sized fruit sitting in the stems and leaves, as if watching!sound!sit!lotus!
"Pineapples, there seem to be a little few." Yao Yanan walked around the plant, "There are only less than ten ripe pineapples in such a large area, and the rest are still green, and there is no drop on the edge. Someone picked them. Yet?"
"Someone picked it?" Mu Jie narrowed her eyes slightly, and squeezed the spear tightly.
Jiang Xinran subconsciously looked at the ground. The surrounding soil was more moist and sticky than the beach, but it did not prevent footprints from leaving marks on it. Among the messy footprints, there was a strange footprint that caught her attention.
Part of the footprints had been covered by the wind and sand, and the rest was not very obvious, so I didn't pay attention to it just now.
Frowning, Jiang Xinran went to the footprints and stretched out her feet to measure them. The footprints were wider than hers. It was obviously the footprints of a man, and the footprints were not long.
"Who will it be."
A cold word rang in his ears, and Jiang Xinran shook her head.
The footprints cannot give a definite answer. Is it the same victims, or fishermen or wild adventure enthusiasts from human society?
I just hope that the other party is not a dangerous person.
"I don't know who, but be careful."
"Let's go, look for water first, and then pick a few back after confirming the water source."
The three of them did not object, and Yao Yanan took the lead to confirm the seat in the jungle, and then left from the pineapple bush one after another.
The further Jiang Xinran went, the clearer and more footprints there were on the beach. From the footprints left behind, it was confirmed that they were the footprints of a person who had been moving around recently.
"It's here." Yao Yanan stopped and pointed to the jungle, "According to my observation from a high place, go straight from here, and you can see the water after walking about 400 meters."
Jiang Xinran restrained her attention to the footprints, looked at the jungle and said, "Let's go in."
After saying that, he led in.
The vegetation in the south is far more lush than that of the camp. They knew this from the time they climbed the mountain and descended the slope, but they still couldn't help being forced to change their walking posture. After a certain distance, the waist could hardly bear it, especially for Wang Zhenzhen. .
"Hey, wait, wait! I'll dig some taro."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! I'll pick some mushrooms and eat them!"
"Wait! There are fungus!"
In short, she found a lot of things she was familiar with here, and the basket was heavy and heavy, so heavy that Yao Yanan, who was just on the wheel, was dejected.
In the end, it was Jiang Xinran who came up with a way to mark her, which made her calm down.
This tossing made me even more tired.
Walking to a spacious place, the four of them found a tree to sit around and have a rest, and the bottle of water brought in the basket was quickly emptied again.
The moment the clear water entered his throat, his life seemed to be saved. Wang Zhenzhen took a deep breath, and Liu Mei suddenly fell down.
"Do you smell the stench?"
"What stink?"
Yao Yanan sniffed and frowned.
It does have a stench, very smelly, even worse than shit in a latrine.
"durian."
Mu Jie straightened up, leaned back slightly, her expression was not very good.
"In this way, it tastes like durian."
Frowning and pinching her nose, Yao Yanan didn't like it very much. She doesn't like durian, but it's true that it tastes really good.
"Not only durian, but also other flavors."
"Another smell? What kind of smell?" Wang Zhenzhen sniffed, but found nothing, so he turned to look at Jiang Xinran.
Jiang Xinran was still distinguishing, and she could see the solemn expression.
Could it be something bad?
A trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart, and Wang Zhenzhen quietly grasped the spear in his hand.
Soon, Jiang Xinran opened her eyes with a solemn expression, "It's the smell of corpses."
"Corpse smell?!"
All three were startled, Wang Zhenzhen clenched the spear in his hand even tighter, and looked around vigilantly.
"you sure?"
"Well, I've smelled it before, so I'm sure."
Jiang Xinran was sure that she didn't feel wrong, but she couldn't determine the source of the corpse smell, whether it was a large animal or a small animal at close range. The smell mixed with the durian smell was a bit weak, so she couldn't judge the distance and time.
If it's just animals, then it's okay, if...
There was still an uneasiness in her mind, Jiang Xinran didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and said, "The smell is relatively weak, it may be the smell of dead animals, just be careful, there is no need to be nervous."
"Let's go when it's almost time to rest, go find water quickly, find it sooner and go back sooner."
After speaking, he got up and went in the predetermined direction.
The three of Yao Yanan looked at each other and quickly followed.
As for durian, no time!
Xu was urged by the fear in his heart, and the pace of progress was obviously much faster. Not long after, the sound of water flowing into his ears seemed to flow through his heart, the haze shrouded in it was washed away, and the sun set.
"It's water!"
The pace picked up again.
Passing through a cluster of bushes, the sparkle of the water hurts my eyes.
"It's a stream, it's really a stream!"
The spear was thrown to the ground with a clatter, and the figure running towards the water was childish as a child.
The stream is not big, about half a meter wide, and the water level is not deep, just reaching the calf. The water quality is as clear as a flowing mirror.
Jiang Xinran observed that the water came down from the mountain in the east and meandered westward. It looked like the water was flowing, and it didn't look like rainwater was accumulating and rushing down.
In other words, they have a fixed source of water that they don't have to worry about drying up in the short term.
Seeing Wang Zhenzhen and Yao Yanan playing in the water, and Mu Jie being dragged into the water, Jiang Xinran sat down against a tree with a smile.
rustling... rustling...
There was a sudden rustling behind him, and it sounded like something was approaching. Jiang Xinran suddenly stood up and pointed the spear at the forest.
"Who's there!"
She shouted loudly, the voice stopped, and suddenly there was another rush, and the voice faded away.
"What's the matter, Xinran."
The three who heard her shout came back in a hurry, picked up the spear on the ground and clenched it tightly.
Jiang Xinran didn't respond directly, she looked at the direction the voice came from and remained silent for a while before saying, "Something was approaching just now, and he ran away after I yelled."
"Could it be a passing animal?"
"Or someone who left footprints in the sand."
"But, if it's a human, why did he come here? Even if he wasn't a victim, he shouldn't turn his head and run away when he sees us."
Wang Zhenzhen refuted Yao Yanan's statement.
Indeed, if it is a person, whether it is a victim or someone else, seeing them should not run away without saying a word, even hostile aborigines will shout.Fleeing straight away without a sound, what else is there but a scared animal?
The rebuttal is very reasonable. If he hadn't seen a figure taller than himself, Jiang Xinran might have believed it.
That shadow was definitely a person, probably the one who left footprints in the sand.
But why run?
Fear?This is possible.
But they were all women, even if they held an offensive spear in their hands and looked a little sloppy, they wouldn't be so frightened as savages and run away without making a sound.
Or was there something inside that made him afraid to scream?
Jiang Xinran thought for a long time, thinking that when Wang Zhenzhen and the others were preparing to go back, they couldn't figure it out, there were too few clues.
"Xinran, we should go back."
"Well, here we come."
Put on the pannier and walk through the bushes, attaching direction signs to the trees while walking.
The road became crooked as we walked, and the rancid smell in the air became more and more intense. Even the pungent smell of durian could not cover up its impact on the stomach.
Stopping, looking around, there was silence in their ears, and they suddenly found that a noisy insect had disappeared.
No, to be precise, the nearby insects have disappeared, while the distant ones are still there.
"This smell should not be a small animal."
"Aren't you talking nonsense! With such a big smell, if you say it has the size of a cow, it can only be a large piece of rot."
Wang Zhenzhen pinched his nose, Liu Mei almost stood up.Yao Yanan's complexion was even more ugly, and something seemed to come out from her wriggling lips.
"Do you think it is a descendant of the large animal that ate the goat?"
"I hope it is."
Listening to the guesses in her ears, Jiang Xinran did not participate, and searched for every suspicious place around her with a dignified and vigilant expression.
At this moment, Mu Jie's voice came, "Come here, there is a room."
The three of them looked subconsciously, and there was a wooden house standing in front of the branches and leaves of a shrub that Mu Jie pushed aside.
Taking a closer look at the rancid smell in the air, it seemed to be coming from there.
Jiang Xinran hesitated for a moment, then walked over with a spear in hand.
"Hey, wait for us!"
The three followed closely.
The wooden house was built a long time ago. Judging from the age marks left on the wooden boards, it should have been abandoned for a long time, and the weeds that had been cleared around were growing towards the wooden house again.
As the distance got closer, the four of them became more certain that the rotten smell was coming from the wooden house, and Jiang Xinran also saw blood dripping on the ground.
The color of the blood has long been faded by the rain, but it is still possible to tell from the traces left behind what kind of injuries the owner of the bloodstains has suffered.
It wasn't a small wound drop by drop, but a fatal big wound with pools of blood flowing.
His face suddenly turned pale, his hand on the spear seemed to be loosening, and he seemed hesitant to move forward.
"What's the matter, Xinran, aren't you feeling well?" Yao Yanan noticed the situation and looked worriedly at her.
"It's okay, just a little nausea."
Jiang Xinran returned a forced smile, swallowed, gritted her teeth and continued forward.
The door of the wooden house is ajar, and the sound of flying behind the door can be vaguely heard, the dense noise seems to have countless flies lingering in the ears.
That's right here.
The rancid smell comes from here!
Resisting the urge to spit it out, Jiang Xinran pushed the door open. It was dark behind the door, and flies came from behind the door towards the front.
Jiang Xinran waved her hand to drive away the flying flies, then she turned her eyes to the eye-catching white on the ground.
The stick fell to the ground with a clatter.
"What's rotten? Let me see."
Wang Zhenzhen squeezed in curiously, turned his gaze, his pupils trembled suddenly, and a scream that pierced the sky burst out.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!!!"
The voice of joy jumped with the footsteps.Soon, four figures rushed out of the forest one after another.
Suddenly, the sun is shining brightly.
Jiang Xinran raised her hand to cover her eyes, squinting to adapt to the southern sun.
