Chapter 967 What’s wrong with the sea?(1/3)

Looking at the solemn expression on his face, although I was so tired that I was almost exhausted, I still held my breath and slowly got up from the ground and walked to him.

The wind was so cold that it almost blows me away.

Feeling my stuttering slightly, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed my arm, and I staggered and stood firm with his support. As soon as I looked up, I looked forward, on the other side of the ridge, where he had just been focusing on the direction he was looking at.

I almost subconsciously took a deep breath.

Although I have lived on this island for several days, it was not until this time that I really saw this island clearly for the first time. The radius of this island is indeed not big. The mountain range like a dragon ridge runs through the entire oblong island from south to north. At first glance, it seems that a huge beast is crawling, with limbs and heads and tails immersed in the sea, only the back of the bones is exposed on the horizontal plane, forming this majestic mountain range. The island is divided into two by this Dragon ridge mountain. The side to the west is that of the side we often used to move, with thorns growing, and the side to the east is lush green. The lush grass stretching for several miles under my feet is like a green blanket covering the east coast of the entire island, and even extending to the sea. The sea water is so blue and green, and it is a joyful and colorful color.

However, looking at such calm and vibrant green, Liu Qinghan's eyes became more solemn and even heavier.

I staggered a little by the wind again, and both hands grabbed his arm. He held me with one hand, but his eyes were a little confused and looked ahead.

Neither of them spoke.

Han Zitong, who had been sitting on the ground, finally took a breath and stood up slowly. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.

"here--"

Her words were choked in her throat, as if she was afraid that she would say it. The scene in front of her, which seemed like a nightmare, would become true. After a while, she finally couldn't hold on and said tremblingly: "No one here?"

The wind whistled by the top of the mountain, and no one answered her.

Han Zitong turned to look at us, and her eyes slowly felt fear: "Is there really no one on this island?"

“…”

"Really, are there only three of us?"

“…”

"Only... the three of us..."

She said, her voice and body began to tremble violently, like a child who had just woken up from a nightmare, but woke up and found that reality was a more terrifying existence than a nightmare.

At this time, she grabbed Liu Qinghan beside her and said almost collapsed: "What should we do? There are only three of us here, what should we do?"

Liu Qinghan's face also turned almost pale in an instant. When Han Zitong was caught, he shook his mind slightly as if he was about to fall. But he gritted his teeth and stood firm, turned to look at me, and asked, "Are you okay?"

I kept staring at the island beneath my feet. When I heard his voice, I turned my head to look at him, a little confused and a little slow, and shook my head.

"I'm fine."

"Um."

He nodded, turned to Han Zitong again, reached out and patted the hand she was holding his arm, and said as calmly as possible: "Don't be anxious for now. We can't see if there is anyone here."

"Then we-"

"I still have to go down the mountain to look for it and make plans."

"But--"

"Don't be afraid." He said calmly: "We can live."

I have said most of these words to Han Zitong before and comforted her for spending these days. But now, after standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the island, even though she was as slow as she could, she understood that the people on this island might be very small, but the more I was so desperate, the more people needed that false hope to support themselves. Therefore, even if Liu Qinghan made no contribution, she still calmed down.

But, the person is already a little collapsed.

At this time, Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other.

Maybe it was because the sky was getting dark, maybe it was because the wind was too strong and too cold, and the eyes of both of them dimmed.

I think at this time, he must be like me, remembering the moment when I looked down at the "Red World" with him in the pagoda forest of Tianmu Temple.

Red and dust are the traces that will appear in human existence.

And there is no red on this small island, and there is not even the dust raised.

By this time, what he said could comfort Han Zitong, but he could not deceive me or himself. Both of us already understood very well - this was an island without people.

We are isolated from the world.

Next, the three of us followed the last glow of light before the twilight came down the mountain.

This side of the mountain is even more lush. Although the thick grass has caused us to suffer a lot from climbing, it is not so uncomfortable when we go down the mountain. In some places, the three of us are sitting on the ground and sliding down directly. The covered stones under the grass hurt people. But in order to arrive at the mountain before it gets completely dark, we can only suffer these hardships.

Along the way, none of the three of them spoke again.

Even, several times I heard Han Zitong cry in pain by the stone, and didn't even complain.

And the more this happens, the nearly defeated and sluggish mood is like the night, covering the three of us firmly.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we quickly found the spring water. After we barely filled the stomach with several cold grilled fish that had been roasted before, the three of us set up a fire for ourselves and then put on our clothes and went to bed.

As for the mountain that I had been climbing for a day, I was so tired that I could fall asleep soon, but for some reason, I couldn't sleep after lying down. I just felt that the waves of tides not far away had spread to the island, and even spread to my mind. The waves of tides surged through my whole world, and were almost driving people crazy.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! That is confusion, helplessness, and the deepest despair!

From childhood to adulthood, no matter at any time, even if I was imprisoned by Pei Yuanhao in the cold palace, in those more than two years of isolated life, I never thought of such despair now, because after all, there are still people around me. Even if I am helpless, as long as I work hard, I will still have a day to see the light of day again. But now, what I want to deal with is not human, not human minds, or even persecution from anyone, but nature.

The most sentimental world that nurtures all things is also the most ruthless world that is not for Yao or for Jie.

How can the three of us return to land on such an endless sea and on such a deserted island?

Or—

Or, we're dead now?

Sooner or later, maybe we can't find food, the springs are exhausted, or the disasters are caused by the sky, the sea is surging, and the storm is hit, and we will die sooner or later. Then we can just end our lives at this time, at least, without having to bear the pain in the middle!

But--

But, I don't want to die...

I don't want to die!

...

All kinds of thoughts, even extremely absurd thoughts, were surging in my mind like a tide at this moment, and the noise kept coming. I bit my tongue tightly and grabbed a bunch of dead leaves pillowed under my head with one hand. The tiny wooden thorns had almost pierced into the palm of my hand, but I didn't feel the pain at all. I just felt that helplessness was like an impulse, which almost made my body explode, and I wanted to get up and run wildly, roar!

At this moment, a very low, almost as thin as a mosquito-like sob, rang behind me.

I first thought I had heard it wrong. After all, there was a dead leaf pillow under my head, and I could even hear a rustling sound when I was breathing. But after a while, the sound not only did not disappear, but became a little louder. I slowly supported myself and turned my head to look behind me.

Han Zitong, who was sleeping behind me, was curled up like a helpless baby.

And her thin shoulders were twitching slightly under the moonlight.

She was crying.

I heard it right, she was trembling and crying.

I stayed there, staring at her thin body blankly, looking more helpless because of the curl. It was obvious that I saw it, but it seemed like a knife was cutting my heart.

I looked at her silently for a while, and finally moved slowly over, reached out to move her shoulders, and felt the thin shoulders under my palm tremble violently, as if they were about to break in the next moment. She did not refuse to touch me, and slowly turned over and looked at me with the light force on my hand. Under the moonlight, her face was covered with tears, and her eyes were almost red with tears.

When she looked at me, she was like an aggrieved and helpless child who was praying for sympathy from others.

I slowly moved to her side, lowered my head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid."

I heard my voice comforting her, but my voice was like a crying child.

"Don't be afraid," I choked and said softly: "We're fine."

“…”

"We can live, don't be afraid..."

I could no longer say anything after all this, and she suddenly got up and hugged me, buried her face in my shoulder, and finally burst into tears.

I still wanted to comfort her, but I had already lost my voice. I could only keep stroking her back with my hands and choked: "Don't be afraid, don't cry..."

And after crossing her shoulder, I saw Liu Qinghan sleeping on the other side, and sat up at this moment.

I don't know if he hasn't fallen asleep or has just woken up by us. The fire behind him only illuminated his outline and could not illuminate the expression on his face. I couldn't even see what kind of mood he was looking at us two helpless and silent women, but he didn't get close to us, nor did he say anything, but in the night, he just looked at us quietly.

The next morning, I felt so stuffy that I woke up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, I found that Han Zitong was still sleeping while holding me in my arms last night, with one hand standing on my chest. No wonder I felt so uncomfortable.

I gently moved her hand away and breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he turned his head, he found that it was a little distance from us. The bonfire was still burning in the place where Liu Qinghan was sleeping, but others were gone.

Where has he gone?

I hurriedly stood up and looked around. I was about to walk forward, but I heard a rustling sound from the woods, and one hand pushed away the thick branches and leaves in front of me.

Liu Qinghan walked over with a few huge banana leaves.

As soon as he saw me, he immediately smiled and said, "You are awake."

"Well. When did you wake up?"

"Just woke up for a while."

"You are-" He put the huge banana leaves in his hand on the ground. Only then did I realize that he had tied a few thick wooden branches with his belt and dragged them behind him. At this moment, he was squatting down to untie the belt. I walked over and looked at the things and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I want to build a shed."
