Count of Monte Cristo

Edmond decided to take a look at the swamp today, which has always been a restricted area for the two of them to move. Except for the first time Edmond picked up an antelope there, they did not set foot in that place again.

However, two-thirds of the island had been walked over by Edmund and Lin Ke, and the timber that should be felled had also been felled.And there is a small forest on the opposite side of the swamp, and standing a few steps away from the swamp and looking towards the opposite side, Lin Ke can see how lush the coconut trees are growing there, he really wants to drink a few Mouth.And he also vaguely saw the shadow of an animal over there.

"You stay here," said Edmund.

"No, I have carefully looked at this place, maybe we don't need to go through the swamp to get to the opposite side." Lin Ke squinted his eyes, the sun was dazzling, "You said how did the antelope come here last time, and there are no antelopes in other places Shadow." Yes, they have been on the island for more than half a month, except for the first time they picked up a dead antelope, there was one time in the middle of the night, after Lin Ke woke up, he saw an antelope in their camp wander around.The rest have never seen a shadow of an antelope, except for the ubiquitous lizard!Lin Ke trembled unconsciously when he thought of lizards, and his scalp felt numb. As long as he thought of the time when he woke up to go to the bathroom at night again and opened his eyes to see lizards all over his body, he felt extremely terrified and his whole body went numb. That feels so sour...

Lin Ke quickly got rid of the scene in his mind!The nightmare of this life!

His words reminded Edmund, and Edmund began to observe the surroundings, "Follow my steps and be careful of the swamps around you."

Lin Ke followed behind him, not daring to go one step further.

The ground is rough, the sun is hot and full of life, shining on this weedy place, some insects sing one after another, with a single tone, and the place is also full of lizards. They are good at hiding themselves. Lin Ke stepped on a piece of gravel, but found His feet were soft, and as soon as he moved, the gravel disappeared into the weeds with a huff!Lin Ke gritted his teeth, but it didn't help.Edmund walked very slowly. He seemed to be taking care of Lin Ke behind him on purpose. After walking for about ten minutes, Edmond stopped. There was no road ahead. It can be said to be a big puddle!The surface of the water was overgrown with weeds and was extremely turbid.

Lin Ke stood next to Edmond and carefully looked at the environment around the big puddle. It was surrounded by stones, weeds, and bushes. It seemed to be a useless land abandoned by God, with no value at all.

Edmund showed no expression of disappointment.He took a few steps forward, it was a big rock, the lower part was already buried in the soil, and the moss was green. Edmund tore off the moss with his hands, and then, under Lin Ke's suspicious eyes, he climbed onto the rock. The rock, that rock was very tall, at least a head taller than Lin Ke.

Edmund stood up and didn't know what he saw. Lin Ke was excited when he heard his voice, "Lin Ke, I found a way!"

Lin Ke was pleasantly surprised. He also wanted to climb up to see it, but because of the height limit, Edmund saw his anxious appearance, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.The two fought side by side. Only then did Lin Ke see that there were several rocks arranged in a diagonal line behind the rock, and some humus soil was buried on it. Weeds grew on it, and moss seemed to spread around. It was a rock. Paved road!

Because of the obstruction of the rocks, they did not find it, and the road was on the right hand side of the rocks in the big puddle.

"This is a masterpiece of nature!" Lin Ke sighed, "Can we go to the opposite side through this road?" His eyes looked at Edmund, and his tone was full of joy.

Edmund turned his head and looked at him. Lin Ke's eyes were black, his face turned rosy because of the recent food improvement, and he even showed a slight dimple because of his happiness.Because he looked at Edmund sideways, facing the sun, the skin on his face was delicate and smooth, and his lips were also light in color.He was wearing a white shirt with the collar rolled up, and the button was only tied to the second because of the weather, revealing his delicate collarbone, and the trousers were also rolled up to the calf, revealing a honey-colored skin with a healthy luster.Edmund suddenly felt palpitations. He saw Lin Ke's unawareness and his eyes were still moving flexibly. Edmond suddenly wanted to reach out and touch his eyes.

"Edmond? We can go down now." Lin Ke had already squatted down, ready to leave the big rock.

Edmund still had a thoughtful expression, and he suddenly asked a strange question, "Are you not tanned?"

This question made people puzzled, Lin Ke scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

Recently, Lin Ke has been sunbathing every day, but Lin Ke's face is still white, but his arms and legs have turned a honey color. He was so happy that he even showed it to Edmond after taking a bath at the beach.God knows how much he hated his old body, and he thought he might become like Edmund when he grew up.Tall and strong, with healthy complexion and strong body!

"Let's go." Fortunately, Edmund didn't want his answer. He took the lead in adjusting the rock, and then reached out to catch Lin Ke underneath.

Lin Ke jumped down, and Edmund caught him firmly.

"You still have three months to go?" Edmund led him to start to go around to the right, which was the path they found.The road is so narrow that only one person can pass it.

Lin Ke followed behind Edmond, who was looking at the logging tools over his left shoulder, and Lin Ke was holding a woven bag that Edmond had made from fishing nets.

"Yes."

"If we could go back to dry land, what would you like for your birthday?"

"Anything is fine?" He asked playfully. On his birthday before, his father asked him what gift he wanted, and he could say anything. It looked like the stars in the sky could be picked for him as long as he wanted. like down.Lin Ke sometimes plays tricks on purpose to embarrass his father.

"Yes." Edmond said firmly.

In fact, the birthday gift Lin Ke wanted most was to return to his original world.But that wish may not come true, so "Can we go back to land?"

Edmond stopped suddenly, looked at him fixedly, and said seriously: "Yes."

Oh, Lin Ke scratched his head, why did Edmund say something so serious, it put him under a lot of pressure.

Edmund asked again, "What do you want?"

Lin Ke felt strange, was this forcing people to accept gifts? "Uh... can I have a castle?"

"can."

Lin Ke opened his mouth wide, he was almost terrified.He said casually, wanting to make a joke, but Edmund agreed without hesitation.

"You, you...Edmond, I'm just kidding..." Poor Lin Ke stuttered.

Edmund frowned, with a stern expression, but he seemed to be thinking seriously.Lin Ke carefully stopped talking, always feeling that the atmosphere at the moment was very strange.

Edmund looked at him for a while, then patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much." Then he turned and continued on his way.Lin Ke murmured in his heart, I didn't think too much, it was you who thought too much.

After walking for more than half an hour, they finally reached the opposite side of the swamp.

Opposite is a small forest.As soon as Lin Ke stepped into the woods, he felt sensitively that this place was different from other places on the island.Not only the temperature and terrain, but also the vegetation are different. The temperature here is low, the vegetation is rich, and there are many kinds of animals.The trees are tall, and the sunlight dapples down through the gaps in the leaves.Austere treetops, trembling leaves aloft, with strong roots.

Lin Ke has seen many wild rabbits running around, and some bold ones even climbed to the branches to watch them.Others such as squirrel therapy are also available.Those antelopes are also leisurely walking in the woods, the whole woods is like a small ecological garden.

Across the swamp, the scene is very different.Nature is so wondrous, mysterious and awe-inspiring!Those mysterious natural phenomena always make people feel the mystery of the Creator.

The two quickly selected a big tree whose trunk they couldn't hug together.

The two worked together and began to cut it.

When Lin Ke was sweating profusely and dizzy, he found that the big tree was still in good condition. It seemed that they still had to work all afternoon.

Lin Ke was lying in the grass, biting a piece of grass in his mouth, resting his head on his hands, looking at the sky covered by the dense forest, the sun was dappled, and the breath of green grass was clean and warm.There was movement on the left, and Lin Ke saw that Edmund was also lying down.

Lin Ke rubbed his stomach, "Hey, I'm so hungry..." He drew his voice, a little sad.

Edmund leaned on his arm and said, "There are fruit trees over there." Lin Ke will also notice that there are fruit trees over there, and it seems that some wild fruits should be edible.The fruit trees over there are tall and big, and the fruit hangs high on the branches. If you want to eat it, you have to climb the tree.Lin Ke said that he could do nothing to climb the tree.

"The tree is tall, but I am short. And you can climb trees!" Lin Ke plausibly said.

Edmund laughed, jumped up and went over there to pick wild fruits.

Lin Ke waited for a while, and then threw some wild fruits over. Lin Ke took a few bites and found that it was quite sweet.

After eating for a long time, I found that there were fine hairs and spider webs on it.Lin Ke stopped chewing, wanting to vomit and feeling quite hypocritical, then he swallowed with a complicated expression, wiped several wild fruits one by one, and then ate them with confidence.He was still mumbling about why no one reminded him and so on.Obviously he moved too fast, he caught it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Edmund looked at his movements with a half-smile, "After eating, rest for a while, and then continue."

"When you go back, you can take more of this fruit back."

"Yeah." Edmond ate two or three, and then put it down. He piled another five or six wild fruits next to Lin Ke, and then lay down.Lin Ke was still sitting, nibbling wild fruits, enjoying himself.

After resting, the two began to work, and finally cut down the big tree before dusk. Then they separated the trunk, transported it back and forth twice, and brought the wood back to the camp.Edmund said that with another big tree like this, they could complete the rest of the cave and the boat.

The two still slept in the camp at night, lighting the fire.After eating the wild fruits they brought back, they went to the beach to wash their clothes and bathe, and then fell asleep. They slept on the boat.Before going to bed, discuss the tasks for the next day.In the morning, Lin Ke went to the sea to catch fish for cooking—mainly for Edmond, but Lin Ke still decided to eat wild fruits.He's had enough of the smell of fish.

Edmund worked on the honeysuckle and trimmed the wood.By afternoon, the two were building log cabins together.
