One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

The paddles moved, and the raft floated against the waves to the sea.

After dealing with the remains of the crematorium and burning the wooden house, the four of them set off back the next day, taking Zhao Guoming's ashes with them.

Yao Yanan said that he wanted to take it back to Zhao Guoming's wife. At that time, his wife had the final say on whether his soul would return to the sea or be buried in the earth.

God is very sympathetic, the sea is calm when we go back, and the early sun is slightly drunk, swaying a touch of bright tenderness, like a woman holding a pole behind her.

Jiang Xinran turned her head and glanced at Wen Siqi who was standing from the corner of her eye.

From the corner of my field of vision, I saw a faint smile. Since yesterday noon, after returning from the waves, I have been smiling like this.

It seems that the despair I saw in the moment when I looked back was an illusion after I was dizzy, and it was an illusion caused by too strong sunlight.

But her eyes told her that what she saw was not an illusion, nor a hallucination, but the real emotion that appeared on Wen Siqi's face, and she couldn't be wrong.

Is it the ashes that gave me some unbearable memories?

My thoughts can't help being curious, and my brain becomes active unconsciously.

A person who can make Wen Siqi feel hopeless and is already dead, this person is of irreplaceable importance to Wen Siqi.

From the relationship network that Ye Yajie checked, all of Wen Siqi's friends are still living in this world, and they don't seem to be regarded as spiritual pillars.

Not friends, that is relatives.However, all of her relatives are still alive, even her grandfather and grandmother in her hometown are in good health.

anyone else?

"Miss Jiang, be careful of the rocks ahead."

The soft words interrupted her thoughts, Jiang Xinran hurriedly turned her head back with a guilty conscience, pretended to be calm, and raised her boat to avoid the reef protruding from the water, secretly annoyed: What do you do if you care so much? .

Then he let out a breath and concentrated on paddling.

At the same time, Wen Siqi also looked away.

She felt it, she felt Jiang Xinran's stealthy look, although the other side's angle of view was facing Mu Jie and Dahai, but her intuition told Wen Siqi that Jiang Xinran was looking at her and thinking about something related to her.

Wen Siqi couldn't guess what it was, but there was no accident, it must have something to do with what happened yesterday.

Yesterday, Jiang Xinran looked back, she should have seen it, at least a little bit.

Whether it was guessed or not, Wen Siqi chose to interrupt.

The raft turned a corner and turned to the northeast of the island.

At this time, on the beach in the northeastern part of the island, there were screams accompanied by the rustling of branches and leaves.

In the invisible jungle, a gray shadow rushed out of the bushes and crashed into an open fishing net on the beach.Like a football flying into the net, the fishing net set off a white wave.

"Close the net!"

The old man was full of urgency, and the old couple looked solemn, and quickly closed their hands grasping the fishing net.

A rabbit flopped its feet and sat blankly in the net.

Gray and fat, with strong legs and delicious taste!

The old couple changed their seriousness before, and smiled all over their faces.

Ye Yajie found this rabbit when she took Wen Suiyun to see the trap.

When it was discovered, the rabbit just broke free from the rope and clung tightly to the bushes, which made Ye Yajie feel sorry for a while.

But not long after, it reappeared, so that it could not die, and directly bumped into the ass of Ye Yajie, who was humming and laying material for other traps.

Then, after that, they were shaken.

Wang Zhenzhen, Ye Yajie, and Lin Jianfei surrounded it and drove it from the jungle to the beach, and the two old people changed the position of the capture according to the movement.

"You son of a bitch, run, you should run again!"

The sharpened aluminum knife was placed under the rabbit's head, and Ye Yajie proudly held the rabbit's ears.

Wang Zhenzhen glanced away in disdain, "Stupid, stupid as hell."

"Indeed, it looks just like you."

coming.

When Han Tang heard this response, he knew that the two of them were going to speak again.

Sure enough, the sarcasm of Wang Zhenzhen not to be outdone sounded in my ears after a while.

Looking at Lin Jianfei who didn't plan to interrupt, and Wen Suiyun who couldn't interrupt, the two old people went to hang up the net again, and no one dissuaded them.

Han Tang sighed and interrupted helplessly, "Do you think there are many rabbits on this island?"

The topic was a bit far-fetched, but at the right time, the needlepoints of the wheat awns were sheathed and stopped.

Instead, discuss the topic.

How many rabbits are there on this island?

The reproductive ability of rabbits is self-evident. Even if the temperature and danger of this island will reduce the number of rabbits born, it will not be much worse. Excluding the dead parts, the remaining rabbits can reproduce geometrically. In this case, there must be a lot of rabbits on the island.

However, the island has dense vegetation. If there were many rabbits, the vegetation would not be what it is now. That is to say, there are many natural enemies on this island that are inhibiting the reproduction of rabbits.

snake?mouse?Or the offspring of the beast that ate the goat?

If it's the latter, be careful.

"Stop, stop, what are you talking about, instead of discussing what's there or not, it's better to discuss how to eat it later."

Compared with how many rabbits and natural enemies there are on the island, Ye Yajie cares more about how to eat this rabbit to vent her hatred.

It is said that the essence of human beings is a crooked building, which is not wrong at all. Ye Yajie's interruption made the topic turn a big corner again. Except for Wen Suiyun who was staring at the rabbit and killing him by touching his head, even Han Tang They all began to join the discussion topic of what to do with this rabbit.

"It's stewed."

"Why don't you bake it?"

"It's so hot, it's easy to get angry if you eat roasted food, it's still the same as last time, let's make a beggar rabbit."

"Steam it, and add some palm heart relish."

The four discussed with gusto, and the corners of their mouths couldn't hold back the expectant smile.

I haven’t seen meat for many days, and the seafood received these days is also shabby. If it weren’t for the palm trees nearby, let alone the strength to gnaw the bark, it wouldn’t be surprising if I would fall ill or have an accident because of it. .

Now that it is finally possible to touch the meat of the mouth, who is not a little excited.

While discussing Huan, the old lady's loud voice suddenly sounded.

"It's back, it's back!"

Ye Yajie didn't understand what it was, so she turned her head subconsciously.In the distance, under the huge hole in the headland, a raft floated slowly.

"Mom~!"

Crisp and immature running to the raft.

Like a swimming snake, the raft passed through the reefs and gradually approached the shore.

Ye Yajie jumped into the waves first, "Xinxin!"

After looking up and down, there was no injury or weight loss, and he looked full of energy. It seemed that he had a good life on the south side of the island, so he was relieved.

After exchanging a few words of peace with Jiang Xinran, Ye Yajie turned her attention to other people.

Wen Siqi is still the same Wen Siqi, a modest and gentle gentleman who makes people want to get close and rely on him, just like Han Tang and Wen Suiyun who are close now.

But it is also this gentleness that makes some of her peers feel that the generation gap does not want to get close. Ye Yajie feels that sometimes the eyes she looks at are like adults looking at children, and she feels uncomfortable when she is seen.

"Tsk."

Quickly averting her eyes, Ye Yajie looked at Yao Yanan and Mu Jie again. Compared with Wen Siqi's lightness, the expressions of these two people were obviously serious.

Involuntarily, he glanced at the clay pot in Yao Yanan's arms, and sealed his mouth.

Looking at Yao Yanan and Mu Jie's cautious appearance, after thinking about it, there are only ashes left.

You don't want to put it in a cave, do you?

Ye Yajie bared her teeth uncomfortably.

As expected, Yao Yanan and the others really wanted to bring the ashes back to the cave, and asked them for advice.

If there is any opinion, of course I agree.

Although the old man is afraid of bad luck, he still upholds the idea that the dead are the greatest. In addition to getting along with each other these days, the old man has no objections.

Lin Jianfei didn't have the old people's unlucky words, and he didn't shy away from the request to live with the ashes, so he readily agreed.

Han Tang seemed a little concerned, hesitated for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Wen Siqi and Jiang Xinran didn't need to ask, agreeing that they brought the ashes back meant they had tacitly agreed.

Although there was a reaction in her heart, Jiang Xinran agreed, and Ye Yajie naturally didn't say anything.

Wen Suiyun only obeys his mother.

On the contrary, Wang Zhenzhen turned his head away immediately and remained silent for a long time, not knowing whether it was the same or objection.

"What are you looking at, I haven't heard of acquiescence!"

There are quite a few, but I have never seen such a default like yours.

Just as Ye Yajie wanted to refute, she was secretly pulled back by Jiang Xinran, so she swallowed and looked at Yao Yanan and Mu Jie to thank her sincerely.

"thank you all."

That's how the ashes stay.

After pushing the raft ashore, except for Yao Yanan and Mu Jie, everyone else went to the rest place on the beach and told about what happened to them.

In the camp, except for the freighter that Wen Siqi and the others passed by at noon the next day after they left, there was nothing worth remembering.

Wen Siqi and the others are similar, most of the time there is no need to describe, but there are two things worth mentioning.

One is the bamboo forest.Everyone knows what bamboo can do, such as bamboo chairs, bamboo mats, bamboo beds, bamboo houses... With the tools available now, it is still possible to make rough bamboo products.

It was good news, the old lady even said that she would make some bamboo mats so that she could sleep cool.

It is not that there are straw mats in the cave, but the heat dissipation is not as good as that of bamboo. Now there are better choices, why not?

The second is the black shadow that Mu Jie saw. Wen Siqi and the others guessed it was a canine creature.

"Could it be that you read it wrong?" Wang Zhenzhen interrupted.

"No, Xiaojie read it right. We also found canine footprints nearby."

Jiang Xinran denied Wang Zhenzhen's denial.

When she was going to get a pole for the bucket, she and Wen Siqi found a few footprints near the bamboo forest. The footprints looked like dogs, and it was impossible to tell whether they were dogs, so they replaced them with canines.

"It's the offspring that ate the goat." Lin Jianfei frowned, "Shotguns, hunting bows, wooden houses, goats, dogs... Could this be a private hunting ground before?"

"A private hunting ground on an island? Are you kidding me?"

"Whoever said that islands can't be used as hunting grounds, only poor people like you who have no money will think it's a joke."

The ridicule will be absent, but it will never be late. As soon as Wang Zhenzhen's words fell, Ye Yajie's disdain came.

He raised his chin and stared high, "It's not uncommon for desert islands like this to be bought as private land abroad. Even if it's not a private hunting ground, it may be a public hunting ground."

"The extinction of the prey or other reasons caused the hunters to leave the island, leaving the useless hounds to survive, reproduce and survive to this day."

"Well, this is a possibility, and it is not ruled out that their prey left without completely hunting."

"You mean, it could be a wolf?"

The rest place was quiet for a moment, and Han Tang's guess made them silent.

Compared with hunting dogs, the existence of wolves is more intimidating to them.

After a moment of silence, Wen Siqi broke it, "It doesn't matter if it's a dog or a wolf, and it has been bred for several generations in the natural environment, they are all threatening to us, and we should not take them lightly."

Indeed, even dogs living in human society are in danger of attacking people, not to mention the natural environment where the weak prey on the strong. Isn't it the same for wolves and dogs?

Instead of worrying about what it is, it's time to think about another question.

"Are we still going there?"

Han Tang looked at Wen Siqi, followed closely, and all the gazes followed.

Wen Siqi's face remained unchanged, her smile remained the same.

"Do you want to go?"
