One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

The next day, early in the morning, the sun hadn't risen yet, and there was only a faint whiteness on the horizon, but the people on the island had already woken up.

Some people are yawning sleepily but full of energy, some are busy cleaning up, and some are making the last meal on the island.

Someone got some carbon, brushed his teeth with his index finger, took a sip of water, gulped down a few times, and breathed into the palm of his hand, smelling...

A little taste.

On the beach, the waves hit the calves, and if you are not careful, you will be washed to the ground.

Jiang Xinran slightly separated her feet and stood firm, bent over and splashed a splash of water on her face, it was a little cold, her body couldn't help shivering, but her energy was high.

He breathed a sigh of relief, relieved the coldness, and lowered his head again, a few strands of hair tangled around his legs.

Subconsciously stunned, a small hand grabbed the fluttering hair from the side.

"Suiyun? These hairs..."

"Mom's..."

The little guy looked young and mature, pouted his mouth in distress, and turned his head to look not far away.

Wen Siqi stood there, her waist-length hair had mostly receded to her shoulders at this time, and only a little bit was being mercilessly severed by the aluminum knife to cut off the last connection.

what is she doing?

Jiang Xinran couldn't understand the meaning of what Wen Siqi did, so she asked Wen Suiyun.

"Mum says hair that's too long gets in the way."

Because that island is more dangerous?

Jiang Xinran stretched her hands behind her and scratched her hair. Her hair was not much shorter than Wen Siqi's, but she didn't think it would hinder her movement. Wouldn't it be a pity to tie it into a ponytail?

Maybe it has other meanings.

Like...saying goodbye to the past.

Seeing Wen Siqi's restrained expression, Jiang Xinran felt that she was right.

He took two steps forward, gathered the hair that was about to be washed away, grabbed it in his hand and returned to Wen Suiyun's side, "Take it, you can't go any further, it will be very dangerous."

"Thank you sister Xinxin..."

Wen Suiyun took the hair, and reluctantly looked towards the distant sea.

"Don't be too greedy, otherwise you will get nothing."

"But……"

"Don't worry your mother."

"Oh……"

Wen Suiyun lowered his head in disappointment, reluctantly looked at the black silk drifting away from the sea, and followed Jiang Xinran back to the camp.

Not long after, Wen Siqi also came back.

There are very few places where the beach can block the view. When Wen Siqi shaved her hair, she was watched, so no one asked. Only the old lady couldn't help being curious and spoke. The old man couldn't hold back in time. .

"Son, why did you cut your hair? What a pity to cut it."

Wen Siqi didn't change her smile, and said back to her, "It's too long, and it's a bit heavy, so I cut it off when I felt that it was hard to move."

The old lady was stared at by the old man, she smiled sarcastically and stopped talking.

The old man picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the mouth of the bucket, and said in greeting: "You should eat, you should eat, if you don't eat, it will be cold."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and greeted each other to start the last meal on the island.

As shabby as ever, a luxurious feast of snail meat and shellfish, as well as an unlucky sea fish that was seen by Xiao Ou Huang.

After eating breakfast, washing the dishes, and packing up the last daily necessities, the group sat on the beach in front of the shelter and waited for the tide to level.

There are old and young among them, old and weak, sick and pregnant. They are not suitable for sailing during high tide or low tide. Only when the tide is low or the tide is flat, it is most suitable for them to leave the island.

time is not up yet.

"About six o'clock, there is still about an hour."

Jiang Xinran checked the time and lowered her arms.

When the old man calculated the tide, the low tide today was around 7 o'clock in the morning, which was the closest time to them.

"Have you brought everything?"

"Everything that can be carried is put on the raft, and the rest can't be carried."

Yao Yanan pointed behind her. The frame of the shelter was inserted into the ground cleanly. The leaves covered with thatch and the ropes tied were all put on the raft. Only a few frames for carrying could not be moved. Who knows if the rope will break.

Simply, I stayed.

"Suddenly I feel a little reluctant..."

Yao Yanan lay down on the ground, speaking with emotion.

"Then you can stay."

"No, compared with life, I can still bear this reluctance."

Wang Zhenzhen choked her, and she came back without hesitation to refute.

That's right, compared with fate, this reluctance is nothing, it's enough to keep in memory, now is the time to move forward.

The waiting time was a bit difficult, 'what time is it', 'what time is it'... Similar words came from different people's mouths every now and then, Jiang Xinran raised her arm again and again until she put her watch on the beach superior.

As the sun goes higher and higher, the sound of the waves gradually decreases, and the hour and minute hands diverge at an angle of about 120°.

Wen Siqi raised her hand and felt the strength of the downwind.

It was a calm time.

"Almost, let's go."

Before the words fell, the sluggish spirit suddenly lifted, and they all got up and walked towards the raft on the beach.

The five elderly, weak, sick and pregnant women all put on life jackets.

The air valves of the life jackets were no longer able to hold air, but they still chose to put them on. Looking at the bright colors, their hearts that were still afraid of the ocean were stabilized.

Pushing the raft into the water, until the sea water reached the knees, Wen Siqi greeted Han Tang, the old man, the old lady, Ye Yajie, and Wen Suiyun, and the five old, weak, sick and pregnant went on the raft first.

"Be careful and take your time."

"Go to the middle and keep the balance of the raft."

Pushing the raft forward, the sea water flooded the waist, except for Lin Jianfei who stood in front of the raft, the rest of the people also climbed on the raft.

Wen Siqi picked up the pole and pushed it into the sand, "Brother Lin, you can come up now."

"it is good."

The raft drank some more water, slightly over half.

"Sit down, let's go."

With the strength of both arms, the raft moved against the waves, and three wooden paddles on the left and right, fell and rowed together with the old man's slogan.

"Fall~ paddle, rise~"

"Fall~ paddle, rise~"

The raft gradually moved away from the island, and when it reached a certain distance, Wen Siqi skillfully changed the direction while propping up the pole, and headed north.

Standing on the raft, looking into the distance, his thoughts recalled a memory of his childhood.

Liuzhen used to be a water town, with waterways extending in all directions. When she was young, she often took the boat of her great-grandfather to go out. Sometimes she would pick up a boat pole that was much taller than herself, and use it to propel it in the old man's smile. After getting off the boat, the number of times became more and more, and it became easy to look good.

Later, she was brought back to Nancheng, and when she returned to Liuzhen, her great-grandfather was gone, and the waterways extending in all directions were filled with roads. Everything became strange, and even the memories left in her hands gradually faded.

Turning back her thoughts, Wen Siqi looked at the hands holding the boat pole tightly.

When I first propped it up yesterday, I thought it would be unfamiliar, but I became familiar with it after a while, as if the memory of it has never been forgotten.

Maybe the memory will never fade away, it's just that the reason to remember is gone.

So, why is that period of the past still so clear?That person has already received his retribution, and there is no need to keep his memory anymore, isn't he?

So why...

"I see!"

The excitement and joy broke her thoughts, and Wen Siqi gathered her thoughts and looked in the direction where everyone was looking at.

The verdant green comes into view, and the promontory extending outward draws a bend, the waves beat white waves under it, and the birds hover above.

After seeing the island, everyone's emotions were obviously elevated, and the speed of the raft also increased a lot.

From the view from the highest point of the island to the estimated situation, the distance between the two islands is about 800 meters, plus the length of the island where they are located, it will take some time for them to go to the island.

"We have to hurry up, and we must go to the island while the waves are still calm."

The raft picked up speed again, heading north of the next island.

The ships they saw on the second night after the tornado were in the north and east of the island. If they wanted to see the passing ships again, they had to choose the same direction, and the east side of the island was a cliff, so they couldn’t go up. , so they decided to go to the northern part of Xiazuo Island first. If the northern part of the island is really not suitable for them to land on the island, they will find another landing point.

As the raft moved forward, the island gradually lost its sense of distance, leaving only wonder and awe for Wen Siqi and others.

Around the headland, there is a beach in front of you. In the northeast of the island, you can see the route, which is suitable for landing.

"There is a wave, everyone pay attention, be careful not to fall."

The sea became more and more undulating, and the raft was a little unstable. Han Tang, who was lying on the raft, looked a little ugly.

Jiang Xinran who was sitting in front looked forward and said, "There seem to be a lot of hidden reefs, will we bump into them?"

Wen Siqi looked intently and saw that there were many reefs under the sea leading to the beach, which looked like stones splashed during the volcanic eruption, everywhere, and there was no pattern to study.

"I went to the bow and used the boat pole to avoid collision."

With wide strides, Wen Siqi slowly moved forward like a raft.

"Row slowly, not too fast."

Wen Siqi squatted down at the front of the raft, stretched the pole towards the nearest rock to the raft, moved her hands to the side, and the raft changed direction.

However, the head changed, but the reaction of the tail was slow. The raft still bumped into the reef, and the people on the raft were shaken suddenly. The collision was not violent, but it made the people on the raft feel stomach churn.

"How long, how long will it be... um—"

Ye Yajie hastily covered her mouth, forcibly suppressing the acid water that was about to run out of her throat.

This collision not only made her stomach ache, but also her head didn't give way too much, and her entire field of vision was about to be distorted.

"Persevere, and we will be able to land in no time."

How long is it now?

Ye Yajie looked at the distance to the beach, it seemed very close, but it felt very far away...

She gave up and curled up on the raft with Han Tang.

Yao Yanan and Lin Jianfei, who sat closest to the end of the raft, also picked up wooden pulp to help push the raft away from the reef. Unfortunately, the board of the wooden pulp was not strong enough, which may be due to soaking in water for too long, and it died within a few strokes.

Fortunately, the raft was not far away from the beach. Wen Siqi could see the land under the water illuminated by the sun, and it was estimated that she would be able to go into the water after floating a few meters.

Soon, with a crash, Wen Siqi jumped into the sea, her heels touched the ground, and the water was just above her shoulders. She grabbed the rope that tied the raft and pulled it forward.

Immediately Lin Jianfei also jumped into the water, one was pulling forward and the other was pushing back, with the help of sea water, the two did not exert too much effort.

The sea water receded to the waist.
