I immediately looked into the sea and saw Jiang Wanqing in the sea, paddling her arms and drifting towards the shore little by little. I thought it would be more appropriate to use a float because her paddling movements were very irregular.
I saw her trying to look towards us while paddling. To my surprise, there was no fear on her face. All her attention was focused on the rolling thing in the fishing net.
As I moved further away, there was an extremely anxious expression on my face, as if I was afraid that if I swam too slowly, I would miss this once-in-a-lifetime event.
I ran towards her and called her loudly. Then she saw me and looked at the place where she was in disbelief. She immediately panicked. She used to have some regular paddling movements, but suddenly they changed into random ones.
Thumping, the body sank all of a sudden like a stone.
I was still some distance away from her, and everyone else had already arrived on the shore. No one was around her for a while. I saw her flapping her head out, and just as she was about to shout, she was submerged in the water again.
I saw her suddenly straighten up and float up again, holding something tightly with both hands, which was the dorsal fin of the shark. Her face was full of shock and disbelief, but she was already speeding towards the shore.
When the shark and I met, it was already shallow water. Jiang Wanqing was still closing her eyes tightly. I helped her and lifted her off the back of the fish. The shark turned around and swam towards the deep water.
Unexpectedly, two wives were in danger in the water and were rescued by sharks
I asked her, "I just saw you swimming in the water, why can't I scream again?"
She was also confused, "Who knows, have I swam before? I have been anxious to see how you catch that octopus, and I almost forgot myself."
"Selflessness means overcoming the fear of water. Relax your whole body and go with the flow. If you don't believe me, you can try again." I said to her
Jiang Wanqing was in the water, looking into the distance, as if she was trying her best to be selfless, but one hand tightly grabbed my hand and said, "It seems that she has forgotten herself."
I slowly tried to pull my hand out of her clenched hand, but failed. So, while telling her a joke, I tried to pull my hand out while she was not paying attention. Unexpectedly, she held her hand tightly.
Holding me, you always have to grab it again just when I am about to take my hand off.
I smiled, how could this be considered forgetting myself? In the end, I simply gave up trying. It seems that forgetting oneself is not something you can forget if you want to.
When we got ashore, the sergeants had already subdued the octopus. They used four oars to force the octopus into the ground, leaving it struggling in vain.
Someone had already lit a fire with a crystal mirror. The majestic flames frightened the octopus, and it twisted its body vigorously. Several people picked it up with paddles and threw it into the fire.
After a vigorous struggle, the eight arms opened their teeth and claws, stirring up the burning firewood and scattering it in all directions. Some people were cursing and kept adding more firewood, and some people were still using wooden paddles to hold it back. It only took a moment to prevent it from moving.
Finally, when he died, his originally huge body shrank into a very small ball.
When it finally stopped moving, someone took it out of the fire, rinsed it with water, and set up the fire again to roast it. So, for the first time, we, the people, tasted the taste of octopus in the sea.
"Do you want to eat it differently?" I asked Jiang Wanqing. Amid her doubts, I walked into the dense forest, whittled a wooden skewer with my sword, skewered the octopus meat cut into small pieces onto the wooden skewer, and grilled it.
It doesn't change the taste of handing it to her, but it finally saves her from getting her hands dirty.
It was almost noon, and the weather was so hot that I wanted to hang out my tongue to dry it. I picked up Jiang Wanqing and found a shady place to sit down among the dense trees on the north shore of the island. She held the meat I grilled for her in her hand.
Chuan, still thinking about the "forgetting myself" issue, and I went to pick a large plate of bananas for her.
There are dense jungles here, with coconut trees and banana trees growing in patches. Jiang Wanqing, who was born in the north, has never eaten it and is very satisfied with its taste. During this time, Jiang Wanqing looked even more beautiful than before. It is said that beauties come from the south of the Yangtze River.
In addition to the water and soil reasons, I think the climate should also be an important reason. The air here is humid, and her face is tender and slippery no matter how you look at it, making people unable to help but take a bite.
No, the heavy rain came unexpectedly, and people were hurriedly looking for a place to take shelter. I simply found two large banana leaves and covered the two of them under them.
A canopy of green grass at my feet gradually stretched out, and the bow of a wooden boat floated out from under the grass.
Peeling off the covering covering it, Jiang Wanqing said, "This is not our boat." I hummed, and immediately became alert. I rummaged around in the nearby grass for a while, and found a puddle that we had not discovered before.
Here, a total of four were found
There are fishing nets, fish baskets and other things inside. Could there be other people on this island? In the depths of the South China Sea far away from the mainland, I always thought that except for our group of people, there would be no other people.
However, we have been wandering on this island for so many days, why haven't we seen a single person?
After a while, the rain stopped. I gathered the people together and showed them what I found. They were also very surprised. Although the island is not big, to be honest, we have not searched the entire island from the beginning.
So, we divided into three groups, more than ten steps apart, starting from the northwest side of the island, and searched all the way through like passing through a sieve.
If there were people on the island, they would have discovered us playing around on the island these days, but they have never been seen. Without knowing whether they are friends or foes, this is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for us.
As I walked forward, I thought to myself that in situations like today, I have to pay attention in the future and not take it for granted. Otherwise, I will suffer a loss and not even know what happened.
Each of the few sergeants we brought from the mainland is King Tian’s heart. If they are harmed for no apparent reason due to my own carelessness, I will not be able to explain it to King Tian.
We quietly walked through banana trees, papaya trees, and some trees that couldn't be named, and walked toward the center of the island. Jiang Wanqing held one of my arms tightly, her face turned pale from nervousness, and she patted
Slap her on the face to reassure her, unless we thirty men fight to the end, we won’t let her get hurt at all.
After the heavy rain, the weeds grew taller and taller, and there was no trail at all. After searching for a long distance, a sharp-eyed sergeant gestured and looked in the direction of his finger. In a tall forest, a wooden house was revealed.
Some new twigs swayed in the wind on the wood on the ridge.
