Heart Stealer

The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the mist and gently fell on the uninhabited island, as if covering the uninhabited island with a layer of golden gauze.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue got up early and decided to make good use of this last day and enjoy the adventure time on the uninhabited island.

They walked hand in hand along the beach, feeling the gentle breeze and listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore.

They explored every corner of the island and found many beautiful sights and interesting things.

Qiu Xue excitedly pointed to a small hill in the distance and said, "Look, there's a dense forest on that hill. It looks like a forest in a fairy tale!"

Xiao Tuobang smiled and replied, "Yes, let's go and take a look. Maybe there are some mysterious treasures hidden inside!"

They climbed the hill and entered the woods, where the air was fresh and pleasant, and the trees were tall and dense, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Qiu Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here! I feel like a little animal in the forest, living freely in this natural world."

Xiao Tuobang looked at her gently and said, "Yes, this place is really beautiful. I hope I can come here again in the future."

As the sun rose higher, the temperature also began to rise. Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue felt a little tired, so they found a large flat rock to sit down and rest.

Qiu Xue took out a bottle of water and handed it to Xiao Tuobang, saying, "Hubby, drink some water to replenish your water."

Xiao Tuobang took the water and took a sip, then gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you, wife. You should drink some too."

When the sun was about to set, Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue reluctantly left the island.

They packed up their fishing gear, held hands, and boarded the small boat docked on the beach.

Qiuxue sat at the stern of the boat, her eyes fixed on the island that was gradually moving away. The beauty and tranquility there left a deep impression on her.

Just as they were about to set off back to the dock, Xiao Tuobang's expression suddenly became serious.

He hurried out from the bow and came to Qiu Xue's side. Xiao Tuobang said in a panic: "Wife, there seems to be something wrong with the boat's engine. It won't start. Without the right tools, it will be difficult to repair it."

Qiu Xue was shocked when she heard this. She remembered that the boat was in good condition before setting out to sea. How could it have developed problems overnight? She couldn't help but wonder, "Tuobang, we were on the island last night, and the boat was parked here. Could someone have sabotaged it while we weren't paying attention?"

Xiao Tuobang frowned, he felt that Qiu Xue's guess was not unreasonable.

The two decided to go to the island again and check every place that might have been tampered with.

Xiao Tuobang checked the environment around the boat, while Qiu Xue kept an eye on the island for any signs of strangers. Their movements were swift and orderly, like a pair of detectives with perfect chemistry.

After searching, they found no obvious signs of damage or any suspicious signs.

This made Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue very confused, but at the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps, this was just an unfortunate mechanical failure.

Qiu Xue looked at Xiao Tuobang, feeling uneasy. She asked anxiously, "Husband, what should we do? Are we going to be trapped here?"

Xiao Tuobang comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it. I'll check the engine first to see if there are any other faults. If it's just a simple problem, I can try to fix it. But if the situation is more serious, you may need to wait for rescue."

Xiao Tuobang quickly returned to the bow, opened the hood, and carefully checked each component of the engine.

After a closer look, he found that an oil pipe of the engine was broken, causing fuel to leak. He realized that this was a serious problem because there was no spare oil pipe on the ship.

Xiao Tuobang frowned, thinking about a solution. If the engine couldn't be repaired in time, they would not be able to leave the island.

He decided to try some temporary methods to repair the oil pipeline, but he knew that doing so would only temporarily solve the problem and was risky.

Qiu Xue also felt increasingly anxious. She didn't know how to help Xiao Tuobang, so she could only stand aside silently and pray that everything would go well.

Xiao Tuobang finally came up with an idea. He decided to use some tape and wire to fix the oil pipe to prevent the fuel from leaking further.

Although this method was not perfect, it could at least restart the engine. He operated carefully, trying not to damage the structure of the oil pipe.

After a period of effort, Xiao Tuobang successfully repaired the oil pipe and started the engine.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Qiu Xue and said, "Okay, honey, we can go now. But we have to drive carefully and hope to reach the dock as soon as possible."

Xiao Tuobang steered the boat slowly out of the coast. But the fishing boat stopped before it had gone far, and Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue had to return to the shore of the uninhabited island.

Xiao Tuobang fiddled with the engine anxiously, trying to find a solution to the problem. Although he had extensive experience in ship repair, he felt helpless in the absence of the necessary tools.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and his hands were covered in oil, but the engine failure still showed no improvement.

Xiao Tuobang's heart sank, and he felt deeply guilty. He turned to look at Qiu Xue and said self-reproachfully, "Wife, I'm sorry. I couldn't fix the engine, and now we're stuck here."

Qiu Xue walked over to Xiao Tuobang, her eyes filled with understanding and comfort. She gently held Xiao Tuobang's hand and said softly, "Tuobang, this isn't your fault. We'll find a way. The most important thing now is to stay calm and work together to find a solution."

After saying that, Qiu Xue took out the remaining dry food and seafood that had been caught earlier from the boat. They sat around the food and had a simple dinner. Despite the difficult situation, Qiu Xue's optimism and strength gave Xiao Tuobang great encouragement.

After dinner, Xiao Tuobang took out his cell phone and tried to call for help, but the signal on the island was extremely poor and the call could not be connected. His brows were furrowed, and he was extremely anxious.

Seeing this, Qiu Xue gently patted Xiao Tuobang's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, husband. We have tried our best. Now we can only wait for rescue. I believe someone will find us soon."

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue sprang into action. They gathered some dry wood and leaves on the beach and lit a large bonfire. Thick smoke billowed upward, hoping it would attract the attention of passing ships.

The two sat side by side on the beach, looking at the smoky fire, their hearts full of anticipation.

The sea breeze blew gently, and the waves lapped against the rocks on the shore. Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue snuggled together on this lonely island, becoming each other's most solid support.

The sky gradually darkened, and the stars twinkled in the night sky, emitting dazzling light.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue hugged each other tightly, resisting the cold of the night. They talked about the good memories of the past and shared their dreams and expectations.

Despite feeling sleepy, they still stayed on the beach, unwilling to miss any possible rescue opportunity.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared on the distant sea. Xiao Tuobang stood up alertly, his eyes wide open, trying to discern the source of the light. Gradually, the outline of a large ship emerged from the darkness.

"Look, it's a boat!" Qiu Xue shouted excitedly.

Xiao Tuobang quickly picked up the flashlight and waved it in the direction of the boat, while shouting loudly. The crew on the big ship finally found them, and the big ship slowly approached the island.
