C157 He Was Bitten by a Snake
Hai Xiaomin only heaved a sigh of relief when Ling Yao silently accepted her good intentions. At the same time, her heart was filled with gratification and bitterness.
Regardless of whether she admitted it in her heart or not, relying on others to live was a kind of lamentable thing in itself.
...
It was night. The two of them were still leaning against each other and sleeping.
In the darkness, a pair of dark and deep eyes suddenly opened.
Ling Yao gently sat up from beside Hai Xiaomin. His indifferent but sharp eyes did not lose their sharpness. He lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping Hai Xiaomin.
He did not startle her. He stood up and stepped on the sand with bare feet. His steps were uniform and steady. After the fixed number of steps, his toes stopped in front of a lump of slightly protruding sand.
Squatting down with one knee, he brushed away the sand on the surface and revealed a simple distilling water collection tool. Ling Yao turned his head to look in Hai Xiaomin's direction and heard what she said during the day.
Is that so? Even she herself admitted that only by relying on him could she live, how could he let down her expectations!
Ling Yao took out the bottle that contained water and put it by his mouth...
...
There was a problem with the important water collection tool that kept them alive!
"Without the adhesive, the tool can't be sealed." After Ling Yao checked, he came up with this pessimistic result.
"Can you think of another way?" Hai Xiaomin licked her lips. The lack of water made her whole body feel very uncomfortable.
"Let me try." Ling Yao sat down with his legs crossed and fiddled with some simple tools.
The result was not satisfactory. The amount he could collect every day was less than before.
The only fortunate thing was that they picked up some plastic garbage from the nearby cobblestone beach and gathered a few ragged tools. It was still the same old saying, better than nothing.
When they were thirsty, every cell in their bodies was suffering. They wished they could throw themselves into the sea and drink to their heart's content. Fortunately, both of them were still rational and knew that drinking seawater would make them die faster, so they endured patiently and restrained themselves.
Time passed day by day. Waiting for rescue on the island was boring and torturous.
Every day, the two of them spent most of their time staring at the sea in a daze. Because their mouths were too dry, they did not even want to speak.
Along the way, a boat passed by the distant sea. The two of them used all methods they could think of, hoping to draw the other party's attention, but in the end, they both failed. They could only watch helplessly as their only hope of escape for so many days slipped away, their emotions falling to the bottom.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. They experienced the great disparity between hope being ignited and failure. The further they went, the more tacit the two of them became. Neither of them easily brought up the topic of rescue, trying their best to create a type of peaceful illusion.
Perhaps they were afraid that the moment they opened their mouths, they would expose their final hope and crush each other's will to persist...
If they were destined to be unable to leave this isolated island and walk to the final moment peacefully and optimistically, it would be better than being ugly in the bottom of their voices.
"Don't go with me today. Stay here and pay attention to whether there are any passing ships." Ling Yao was going to catch fish again. Seeing that Hai Xiaomin's condition was worsening day by day, he really could not bear to see her torment him again.
Hai Xiaomin looked up and wanted to raise a full spirited smile, but when she opened her mouth, blood seeped out from her dried lips. She grimaced in pain, and her haggard little face suddenly looked funny and funny.
"Why are you laughing when you look so ugly?!" Ling Yao scolded her in a bad mood. Doesn't my body know how to feel pain?
Hai Xiaomin lowered her head in discomfort.
"Are you still going?" Without a sound, Ling Yao's tone softened.
"I want to go..." But she was afraid of dragging him down, so she replied without confidence.
A slender and well-proportioned hand reached in front of her. The man's clear and cold voice said slowly, "Don't you want to return it?"2
Hai Xiaomin laughed. Even though her lips hurt when she smiled, she could not help but smile. She put her hand on the hand and Ling Yao covered her hand and pulled her up.
Ten days had passed and Hai Xiaomin's feet had almost recovered. Now she could jump and jump. Unfortunately, she did not have the strength to jump.
Ling Yao had nothing better to do, so he made a pair of 'shoes' for her with tree bark and grass stems.
He said it was made out of tree bark and grass, so there was no need to explain how ugly it looked. When he first got it, Hai Xiaomin was completely speechless.
Ling Yao argued that it was a problem with the materials and did not think that there was a problem with his craftsmanship.
It seemed to be quite comfortable to wear. Hai Xiaomin did not expose him. After all, it was made by the general manager of LY. It was handmade and custom-made. Well, it could be said that there was a market but no price, right?
Every day, Ling Yao would go fishing near the cobblestone beach. Hai Xiaomin seemed to have gotten addicted because she learned fishing techniques on the first day. Every time, she would follow him. Ling Yao patiently took the time to teach her. As for the rest of the time, he rushed her to the side to practice by himself. He didn't want her to disturb the school of fish and delay their meal.
Because of this, Hai Xiaomin also had her own food partner - Fishfork Number Two!
For the past ten days, there had never been any bloodshed. It was the glorious battle result of this Fishfork... Thinking of this, Miss Hai could not help but want to cover her face, indicating that she did not want to mention the dark history.
She did not know if it was because even the heavens could not bear to watch anymore, but today, she was still practicing separately from Ling Yao. However, during this period, she unexpectedly stabbed one of them for the first time!
"Huh? Haha ~" Hai Xiaomin was extremely happy. She raised her harpoon and waved it at Ling Yao. She shouted happily, "Ling Yao! Look! I did it! "
Ling Yao was just about to make his move when he was scared away by the woman's joyful cheers.
He sighed regretfully, but he did not feel annoyed at all. He smiled and looked at Hai Xiaomin lovingly. She was so happy that she looked like a child when she caught a fish.
"I finally succeeded..." Hai Xiaomin was very happy. She held the fruit of victory and went to Ling Yao's side. He stood where he was and waited for her. He was ready to give her a reward as a teacher.
Just when Hai Xiaomin was a few steps away from him and wanted to continue talking to him, she suddenly saw something in the water. Her pupils shrank and she cried out involuntarily, "Be careful!"
Ling Yao frowned and lowered his head to look behind him. His eyes immediately darkened.
It was a sea snake. It actually took advantage of his carelessness to get close to him!
He did not have time to react. He saw Hai Xiaomin using all her strength to move the harpoon across the water. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. The sea snake swam very fast in the water and avoided the range of the harpoon. It bit Ling Yao's calf!
"Ling Yao!" Hai Xiaomin was shocked and threw the harpoon over. She rushed too fast and did not notice that her feet slipped. She threw herself into the water in a sorry state and quickly got up.
Before she arrived, Ling Yao accurately and ruthlessly made a move. He grabbed the seven inches of the sea snake and pulled it out of the water. He used his hand force to pinch it to death. Looking at the colorful patterns on the snake's body, he was handsome and cold.
"Ling Yao, you were bitten by it?" Looking at the dead snake in Ling Yao's hand, Hai Xiaomin's eyes were full of panic. She hoped that what she saw just now was an illusion.
"I was bitten." Ling Yao told her the truth. He could not hide it from her. He still acted calm. "Get ashore first!"
