second life

Chapter 41

The deserted island where Zhao Xiu and Lin Yuanqi are located, which does not even have a name, has rained many times in the past three days. Sometimes the rain stops within an hour or two, and sometimes it takes a long time. The two can only find some The leaves of the big trees are on top of each other. Basically, the clothes are wet and dry, and then wet again, and they are too tattered to wear.

There was no one else on the island, so the two men simply acted in shorts.

Looking at the darkening sky again, Lin Yuanqi turned around and walked up to Zhao Xiu, "Hide away, this rain is not small."

As he said that, a dull thunder struck, lightning pierced the sky, and heavy rain fell, the two of them sat on the edge of the reef, Lin Yuanqi covered the wound on his body, looked at the constantly churning sea, and frowned .

Different from the previous rains, this time the rain was extraordinarily heavy, and the sea water was rising almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I think we should go to a higher place." Zhao Xiu obviously also noticed this problem. The underground sand and mud are soaking in water, and they will not stay in a safe place all the time.

"Going higher, you can only enter the forest behind."

They have almost nothing on them, and this pristine rainforest is definitely more dangerous than imagined.

Zhao Xiu looked at the rapidly rising tide, "If the rain doesn't stop for a few hours, we'll go into the woods, at least it's better than drowning." He came to a conclusion, Lin Yuanqi didn't say anything more, the two of them separated Fires doused by rain, sitting opposite each other.

Lin Yuanqi's complexion was not very good, probably because the injuries on his body hadn't fully healed yet.

On this uninhabited small island, the isolated loneliness and unknown dangers made the two big men feel a little uncomfortable. This feeling did not come suddenly, but gradually from the surrounding The environment penetrates into people's hearts. If they are just two ordinary people, they will probably be driven crazy by that feeling at the moment.

Fortunately, there is still someone to be a companion.

"I miss that bed in the lounge." At this moment, what Zhao Xiu thought of was not the luxurious big bed that he had slept in in his previous life, but the narrow spring bed in the lounge of Fulijing.

Lin Yuanqi raised his head and glanced at him, but didn't speak.

His body has been drenched by rain, and the short black hair sticks to the three-dimensional face, which outlines a slightly hard arc. Lin Yuanqi doesn't smile often, and often has a deadpan expression. Occasionally There is also some faint sarcasm, and the eyes have always been well-read, making it difficult to see the mind, but when he smiles, he is a very seductive guy, very sexy.

In this life, Zhao Xiu's understanding of Lin Yuanqi has been constantly refreshed. At least in those 20 years, he didn't know that this guy would bite when he was in love. It felt like he didn't wipe it off with his hands, and let the rain fall down his face.

"How long has it been?" Lin Yuanqi asked as he watched the tide rise again.

"It's probably been raining for more than an hour." The rain has always been so heavy, and the torrential rain hits the face coldly, and even feels a little painful.

They didn't have many things on them, the communicator was in Lin Yuanqi's hands, and the lighter was on Zhao Xiu's body.

"Let's go in." Lin Yuanqi stood up, and a wave hit the sea, and a small part of the reef that was originally a certain distance from the coast was submerged.

The two of them entered the woods in the heavy rain. Apart from the tide, food was also the reason.

The edible fruits around the forest have been almost taken care of by the two big men. Some of the brightly colored and attractive fruits that even Zhao Xiu can't identify, he has never touched. Although the forest is dangerous, the terrain is higher than the beach. , and there is a greater chance of food.

The two slowly shuttled through the jungle. Their destination was a slightly higher slope above the forest. The road was difficult to walk, and there were some thorny plants along the road. Both of them had small marks on their hands and feet.

Although the temperature in this place is not low, the long-term rain has caused a great loss of body temperature, and they haven't eaten well for a few days, so the pace of the two is not fast.

"Wait." Zhao Xiu called to stop the man walking in front. He bent down and picked up a 'forked' branch on the ground. The front end of the branch looks sharper. The whole branch is moderate in thickness and can withstand a certain amount of force.

He threw the branch to Lin Yuanqi, "Take this."

Lord Yin once taught him that it is skill to use whatever he picks up as a sharp weapon to kill the enemy.

This branch with good hardness and strength can obviously come in handy.

After Lin Yuanqi took it, he tried the bending of the branch, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Xiu raised his hand to break another branch from the tree.

The relaxed mood suddenly froze when he saw Zhao Xiu's actions, Lin Yuanqi's eyes were fixed on the position where Zhao Xiu was standing.

"Don't move." His voice was cold, with a strong command tone.

Zhao Xiu immediately knew something was wrong, he quickly slowed down his breathing, and quietly maintained the posture of raising his hand.

Not far from his feet, a green spotted palm viper was slowly moving in this direction.

The two of them held their breath almost at the same time. When the snake moved to Zhao Xiu's feet, it hissed and spit out stars. Although this thin green poisonous snake would not kill a person within a few seconds, it still On a deserted island without any rescue measures, just one bite will bring two big men to death.

This is the reason why they were reluctant to enter the forest before, there are too many poisonous snakes, rats and ants here.

Lin Yuanqi tightly held the hard tree fork in his hand, his breathing almost slowed down frequently.

He glanced at Zhao Xiu who was looking at him motionlessly, and winked at him.

Zhao Xiu understood immediately.

Aiming at the narrow snake's head, Lin Yuanqi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his hand to fork the snake's head accurately. This series of actions was almost completed in the blink of an eye. The moment Lin Yuanqi pressed the snake's head, Zhao Xiu moved away. Tightly pinching the bottom of the snake's head, the other hand grabbed the snake's tail, swung it in a circle, and slammed it against the tree a few times, until they were sure that the thing was completely no longer a threat, the two of them gasped slowly.

It was raining too much. Palm vipers at this latitude should be nocturnal, but they also came out to make trouble.

I am afraid that such dangerous things will happen in the jungle from time to time, and the hearts of the two sank at the same time.

Zhao Xiu glanced at the blue poisonous snake on the ground, bent his lips, and broke the silence, "The posture just now was good, have you practiced it?"

"Darts."

Zhao Xiu was a little surprised that Lin Yuanqi actually liked playing darts, "I have a chance to play a few games."

"Okay." His aim was always good.

Lin Yuanqi used a tree fork to pick up the poisonous snake, "You pick your time when you pick things up."

"This is relative. If I didn't pick this one up just now, maybe that snake wouldn't come out either." If I didn't pick up this branch, I might not be able to deal with a snake coming out.

Zhao Xiu squinted his eyes. The rain was too heavy and his vision was not clear.

"At least dinner is settled." Lin Yuanqi said lightly.

"That's right." Wiping the rain off his face, Zhao Xiu broke off the sharp branch he had just set his sights on.

"Let's go, it's not far from the slope."

The reason why Zhao Xiu and Lin Yuanqi chose the sloping land was because when they were on the beach, Zhao Xiu liked to stand on the reef and look around, and he could faintly see that place. It takes a distance to walk, but the place is absolutely It is the safest place in the entire jungle, because the location is higher, and there are not many trees for those snakes, rats and ants to live in.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the heavy rain is still falling, pouring down like splashing water. Even on this deserted island where it rains all year round, it is very rare for such a long duration of heavy rain to happen. Guy bumped into.

The temperature dropped a lot, and the two men who were only wearing shorts and drenched in the rain couldn't help shivering.

When we got to the sloping land, we were lucky enough to come across a small cave. From the moment we boarded the boat, the journey had been difficult, and it was even close to death. Finding a place where we could temporarily shelter from the rain in such a cold weather was considered a blessing. One of the luckiest things on this trip.

"Let's avoid it for now." The cave is very small, and it is not convenient to light a fire, so the two of them can only lean against the side of the cave.

Zhao Xiu looked at the pouring rain outside, and said calmly, "I don't know when this rain will last?"

The wood here is wetter because of the heavy rain for several days, and it is not easy to light a fire, otherwise they can still use the smoke to call for help, but now they can only wait for the rain to stop before trying to find a way.

Lin Yuanqi leaned against the cave and coughed in a low voice, "Why did you save me when I was in the sea?"

Zhao Xiu didn't expect Lin Yuanqi to ask such a question suddenly, he turned to look at him, "You also saved me, we're even."

"But I seem to have saved you more times than you have saved me. How are you going to pay it back?"

Zhao Xiu frowned, Lin Yuanqi seemed a little strange now.

"Let's talk about these things after we go back." Surprisingly, Zhao Xiu didn't even refute him. The storm outside the cave was extremely quiet, and the breathing of two people could even be heard.

"Zhao Xiu..." Lin Yuanqi's voice suddenly dropped, "Have you..."

"Is there anything?" Lin Yuanqi didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Xiu couldn't help but turn around and answer.

Lin Yuanqi's complexion was terribly pale, he leaned against the cave with his eyes closed, and the sound of panting was clearly audible.

"Damn it." Zhao Xiu stood up and approached him, touching his forehead, "Why did he have a fever again, he was alive and well just now." No wonder he was talking nonsense.

"I'm fine." Lin Yuanqi waved his hand away.

Lin Yuanqi also had a fever when he first came to the island, but the fever subsided the next day, what's going on now... Could this guy have been enduring it all the time, or did the heavy rain just make his injury recur?

Zhao Xiu looked at him quietly, "You better be fine, if your life is lost here, some people should be happy."

Lin Yuanqi suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him, his voice was hoarse and indifferent: "Or would you be happier if I die?"

Zhao Xiu was startled, he looked at Lin Yuanqi in surprise, at that moment, he almost thought that the person talking to him was his deadly enemy from the previous life.

Lin Yuanqi coughed a few more times, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
