Chapter IV

(1)

The isolated island was rescued

It was another morning, the sun was about to come out, and he saw that at the junction of the eastern sea and sky, a piece of Yin red slowly appeared, and the red was crystal clear. He had been adrift at sea for two nights and a day, and his mind was beginning to drift a little. At this moment, he suddenly found that there was a headless dead fish floating past not far away, he immediately had the spirit, swam over and grabbed it in his hand, and he didn't care to look carefully, and swallowed it into his stomach after a few bites, he was too hungry. He floated blankly in the middle of the endless sea.

Another sunset sprinkled the sea, and the calm sea sparkling. He remembered the evening before the wind and waves came, and the sea was so beautiful and quiet in the evening glow. But in an instant, the wind was fierce and the rain was pouring. Could it be that there will be another storm and a terrible wave. He didn't dare to think any further, resigned himself to his fate. Night fell quietly, the sea was windy again, and the sea began to boil like boiling water in a pot, flooding with waves. As the wind gradually increased, the boiling wave became a wave, and the wave gradually increased, instantly becoming a raging wave. But there was no storm that night, and no monstrous waves. He floated on the surface of the sea, he thought silently of his beloved Xinting in his heart, as if he saw her smile, and her gentle smile made him forget his dangerous situation and let the big waves push him around. He believed that he would be able to survive, be able to be with Xinting, and never be separated. This was the source of his motivation to survive for two days. I don't know how long it took for the big waves on the surface of the sea to suddenly stop roaring. Everything became so quiet, he looked at the sky, and a bend of the eyebrow moon came out of the clouds. In the faint moonlight, he faintly noticed a black shadow like an island reef directly in front of him, and at first he suspected that he was hallucinating, and he tried to keep his eyes wide open and fixed his eyes on the black shadow. That's right! Not an illusion. It must be an island reef, if it is a boat, there will be lights. His nerves began to be excited like never before, as long as it was a piece of land, he had the hope of survival. He pointed in the right direction and paddled the water one by one. As the saying goes, Lookout Mountain runs a dead horse. Looking not far, can swim up, it is really not close. I don't know how long I have been swimming, but the black shadow in front of me is getting bigger and bigger, more and more clear. He could see the rocks and trees, and the instinct to survive made him forget the fatigue, and he used his last strength to swim to the vicinity of the island and reef, and when his two feet just touched the ground, his body was paralyzed in the sea, and he fainted when the waves washed him onto the beach.

I don't know how long later, I heard someone calling, Wake up! Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up! He slowly opened his eyes, and a strong ray of sunlight shone on his face. A woman with yellow hair and blue eyes was calling out to his face. When she saw him slowly open his eyes, she let out a sigh of delight and said, "My God!" you wake up at last. You finally woke up) He looked around and politely asked, "Please tell me where this is?" The young lady did not answer him, and she took a piece of bread from the pocket of her coat and said: You must be hungry, eat it at once. He saw a handful of food come over, stuff it in his mouth, and swallow it in his stomach before he could chew it. The lady looked around and whispered, "Don't go anywhere now, just stay here and wait for me to bring you something to eat." She looked around alertly and told him, "Don't move!" After saying that, she quietly left him with a cat waist. Then he remembered that last night he had fainted on the beach, but now he was in a patch of grass in the woods. As she was leaving, she told, don't move! What is the meaning? Why don't you let yourself move. He couldn't think of a reason, but he knew there must be danger here, and he guessed that the young woman must be a good person too, and that she wouldn't hurt herself.

Gangsters do evil deeds

At noon, the blue sky hung with a round of fireball-like sun. The clouds in the sky seemed to have been burned and disappeared without a trace. The hot sunlight radiated from the dense layers of leaves on his body, printing several spots the size of copper coins, and he looked motionlessly at the few fast spots on his body, changing the pattern irregularly with the breeze blowing from the sea. He began to feel a faint noise in his stomach, and he knew it was a hint from his stomach. He touched his belly, said to himself, and said with a smile: You know we are finally alive. Then he heard a rustling sound in the distance, and he was alertly lying in the grass, looking in the direction where the sound was made, and he saw the woman with a pocket in her hand and was walking low toward herself. As he walked, he looked back in the direction he was looking in, as if he were hiding from someone.

Hungry, right? The young woman asked. As he spoke, he took out a loaf of bread and a piece of jerky and two oranges from his pocket. That's all, I don't dare to take more. She explains. Thank you! Thank you! He devoured the food brought by the woman. The young woman watched him eat and said, "It's dangerous here, and when you're done eating, follow me to a more hidden place." Why? He asked curiously. The woman quietly told him what had happened here: there were two negroes living here, one of whom was a big, particularly murderous man who had killed my boyfriend. A few tears of hatred rolled out of the young woman's blue eyes, and she simply told the whole process.

Last year, too, this season, she and her boyfriend fished at sea on a small machine sailboat. They sailed about three hundred nautical miles or so, and when they were about to return, there was a sudden wind and waves on the sea, and the propellers on their ship failed, and in such weather they could only lower the sails and let the wind blow and the waves, and they could do nothing. Floating on the sea for three days and three nights, their ship was swept onto the island by wind and waves before dawn. She and her boyfriend pushed the boat ashore and lay sleepy and tired on the beach asleep. When she woke up, she found two negroes standing next to her, and she hurriedly woke up her sleeping boyfriend. The two guys saw them awake, and one of the big men pulled a pistol out of his waist and shouted at them: Don't move! Another slightly shorter guy took a rope he had found in their boat and tied her boyfriend's hand behind her back to a tree. The two gangsters made eye contact with each other, and the big man handed the gun to the short gangster and said, "You look at him." Then he tucked the young woman under her armpit and carried her into the bushes, and no matter how much she struggled in vain, this guy was like a monster, too strong. At first only the woman's screams were heard, and then there was no sound. The short gangster saw that her boyfriend was screaming and scolding desperately, and it was so strong that the guy couldn't wait to carry the gun and go into the bushes. After another scream, the two gangsters came out of the bushes and walked up to her boyfriend, who asked: What to do? Do you all feed the fish? The big man thought about it, squeezed his eyes with an obscene smile, and said: The man feeds the fish, and the woman stays. The short gangster was just about to raise his gun, and the big man said: Don't use the gun, save the bullets, so he pulled out his knife and stabbed him in the heart, and the blood sprayed the monster's body. Her boyfriend screamed and scolded: Beast! He lowered his head weakly.

When the young woman said this, his eyes were angry, and I went to kill this goddamn beast! He stood up fiercely. He has a gun in his hand, and you can't beat him. The woman said helplessly. As they came to a denser weed, the woman said, "It's a little more hidden here, and these days I'll bring you something to eat, but not too much, because that short bastard, who went back to land to get food, didn't come back on time, so every day this bastard wouldn't give me much to eat." You recover your strength first, and then we plan. Will the guy who went back to the mainland for food not come back? he asked. No, because the big guy had a lot of methamphetamine in his hand, and the short bastard couldn't do without him, and it took more than a week to go back and forth each time. After saying that the woman lowered her body and walked out of the grass. For two days in a row, the young woman brought him food from time to time. Every time he ate the food, the woman looked at him intently and swallowed her saliva from time to time. He suddenly understood that these foods must have been left to him that she was not willing to eat. He handed the bread to the woman and said, "Eat it, I am full." He couldn't eat anymore.

Resolve to rid evil

On the morning of the third day, the slightly fishy sea breeze blew softly, and the birds in the trees sang crisply, waking him up from his sleep. The sky is full of morning light, the blue waters, and the island cannot hear any noise except the sound of birds and waves crashing against the coast. It's so beautiful! But in this wonderful and peaceful world, how can there still be those sins, and how can good people still suffer those sufferings? When will there be no ugliness and sin in the world, only goodness and goodness? When God created mankind, there must be a certain proportion of bad people, let them do wrong, and let the good people suffer and suffer? No! Justice must be done and evil eradicated. Thinking of this, he seemed to have blood veins all over his body, and he clenched his fists and clenched them. He longed to have a gun or a big knife at this moment, to fight with the gangsters. But he couldn't do anything, he could only wait patiently, and at this moment he had to reminisce about the past days with Xinting to pass the long and boring time. Finally in the afternoon, he hoped that the young woman would come and bring him food, but he did not see her until sunset. He was hungry and thirsty, and the residual heat of the hot sun during the day had been blown away by the sea breeze, and he felt a little cold, because he had not eaten for a day, the heat of his body had been exhausted, and he lay powerlessly in the grass. He suddenly heard a faint voice not far from him, and he looked sideways at the sound, Ah! A python more than two meters long was creeping toward the place where he was traveling. He quickly jumped up, lifted a large stone beside him, and smashed it against the head of the python. The stone is impartial seven inches in the middle of the python, and as the saying goes, to hit a snake is to hit seven inches. After the python was hit, it kept flipping its body in place, and he picked up a stone and smashed it, and the python stood up a few times and never moved again. He peeled off the snake skin along the wound of the python, he really wanted to light a pile of fire to cook the snake meat, but unfortunately there were no matches, even if there were matches, he did not dare to light a fire to expose himself at the moment. Hungry, he couldn't take care of too much, and directly bit down on a piece of bloody forest snake meat with his teeth, and he chewed the snake meat as if he had the feeling of eating lobster raw. In order to survive, the usual Sven no longer existed, he feasted, and in a few moments the two-meter-long python was half eaten by him, and he hid the rest in the grass, wiped the snake blood on his hand with the blade of grass, and went back to lie down, when it was already dark.

The moon rose into the sky at some point, and the water-like moonlight poured down on this nameless island. The sea breeze is accustomed to the trees, and the shadows of the trees are fragile. He looked at the moon and thought to himself, his relatives must have known about his disappearance these days. They were so anxious that they even thought that he was no longer alive. He looked sadly at the bright moon, how he hoped that the moon could tell his relatives and Xinting the information that he was still alive. He was determined that no matter what, he must live, return to the side of his relatives, and return to xinting's face.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly from the shore came the sound of the ship's engine, according to the sound, the ship's engine power will not be very small. He knew the island was so offside that no one even knew. It must have been a short gangster who had sailed back to the island with food. He hid in the grass and looked into the distance, and after a quarter of an hour, sure enough, he saw a man carrying a bag of things in the direction where the young woman came every day. He did not dare to move, and continued to observe in the grass. After some more time, three people came from that direction, including the woman. He concluded that they must have gone to the shore to carry things. They moved back and forth many times, and it seemed that there were a lot of things. Finally the short guy walked to the shore alone, and then he heard the sound of the ship's engines, and he reckoned that the guy had hidden the boat somewhere. He stood up and moved his body a little, because before dark, he ate half of the python meat raw, and felt that his body was full of strength. After all, young, physical strength recovers quickly. He decided to go and fix the two bastards tonight.

Vicious gangsters

He found a wooden stick nearby and lay down to wait for his chance. It was already very late at night, and he estimated that the time was almost up, so he took the stick and touched it in the direction they had walked. By the moonlight, he stepped out about four or five hundred meters. The smell of cigar smoke wafted through the air, and he was immediately alert. He quietly searched with the smell of smoke, the smell of smoke getting stronger and stronger, and he knew that the target was nearby. He crouched down, the grass here was very high, and he gently brushed aside the artemisia grass in front of him, and found a beam of light under the steep hill not far away, and the light was very weak, and it appeared faintly under the cover of weeds. According to the light, he visually measured it, about sixty or seventy meters. He took a closer look at the terrain and judged that he was on the side of the target, and there must be a path on the front. He continued to approach the target cautiously, closer and closer, clearer and clearer, and he could almost hear the voice. He leaned into the grass and listened intently, the screams and insults of women. brute! You must not die, I will kill you!" Then came the two negroes laughing obscenely. He knew that these two gangsters must be abusing the woman, and he gritted his teeth in anger, really wanting to rush over and kill the two bastards. He stood up and was about to rush out of the grass. Suddenly I remembered what the woman had said: He has a gun in his hand, you can't beat him. He calmed down, crouched down in the grass and crawled forward, twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, he could already see clearly, this was a natural cave, a little closer, five meters. He was lying in the grass at the mouth of the cave. The woman stopped cursing, but heard only her moaning in pain and the cathartic cries and obscene laughter of the two beasts. After a moment of calm, the woman screamed again. At this moment, he suddenly saw the short gangster coming out of the hole and laughing as he walked. What is this guy going to do? He was nervous and didn't dare to come out, and when he saw the bastard coming out, standing not far from the mouth of the cave to pee, it was a godsend! Without the slightest hesitation, he gently went around the back of this guy and raised his stick to his head, and the stick smashed so hard that the bastard collapsed to the ground without even saying a word, and he squatted down and placed his hand on this guy's nostrils, and he was sure that he had run out of breath. At this moment he heard the screams and insults of the women in the cave getting louder and louder, as if they were asking him for help. He rushed into the hole and slammed the stick at the big man's head, and the gangster felt the wind behind his head, and the naked body flashed to the left, and the stick slammed into the dark fat back of the guy with a whimpering wind, and the stick broke in two. The fat pig monster screamed and pounced on him, the two of them wrestled together, because the bastard was naked, the young man saw the opportunity, raised his knee and kicked the fat pig's crotch violently, and the pain made the guy scream and fall to the ground, and he rode on the bastard's body. The two fists opened their bows left and right like hammers to hit the fat pig's face, hitting it seven times and bleeding. He was about to punch the bastard's dog to death, but when the short gangster who had been attacked outside the cave woke up, he heard the fight in the cave, rushed into the hole, lifted a large stone and smashed it into the head of the young man, who shook a few times and fell on the side of the fat pig. At that moment, his consciousness was still clear, he just couldn't move. The moment he saw the gangster raise the stone and throw it at himself again, he suddenly heard two gunshots of "bang bang", the short gangster fell down in response, and the woman walked naked with a gun to the big gangster lying on the ground, and fired two more shots at this guy. The bullet pierced the chest of the gangsters with a vengeful rage, sending the two gangsters to hell.

The woman put on her clothes, crouched down, lifted the young man's head, and cried out. He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the gangster who had fallen into a pool of blood, and said only one word: Go fast, get out of here. I passed out.

Thato is like a storyteller, recalling everything that happened three years ago in its entirety. He thought for a moment and said to Miss Anwar: This is all I can think of, and then I don't know anything. Miss Anwar said: The young woman with yellow hair you are talking about is Miss Jenna, who carried you to the boat, drifted at sea for two days, met the passing boat, and saved you. Miss Jenna came here to visit you last month, but you don't remember her. Can she still come? Thato asked. She comes to visit you every month, but you only know that her name is Jenna, but you don't remember your presence on the island. Miss Anwar asked him again: What is your name?" Thato, my name is Thato, how come you have lost your memory? He laughed when he finished. I'm asking you what's Chinese name? Anwar asked with a smile. Oh, my name is Liu Mutong. He casually said his name. Anwar asked again: I heard that when you were unconscious, you always shouted "Xiting, Xiting"? When he heard these two words, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly stopped the smile on his face and said: It's my girlfriend, her name is Xinting, and we are about to get married. Miss Anwar, help me, I have to go back. Anwar was so touched by Thato's eager look that she decided to help him get in touch with the authorities as soon as possible.

After many efforts, Liu Mutong finally returned to the motherland through Hong Kong. (To be continued...) ）
