lying down

The image of his father in the little boy's mind is not very clear. Occasionally, when he is playing alone on the beach, he will outline his father's appearance on the silver sand with his fingers.He is less than three years old, and he can't explain the father in his mind with a few strokes. He is most proud of himself only when he draws a big mouth with a crooked smile.

Whenever he saw himself drawing his father's mouth, he would laugh along with it.For as long as he could remember, Dad was always smiling, though there were very few memories of him.

"Father will definitely come here to pick us up!" Although he only gave a soft "hmm" in his mother's arms, he knew how firm he was in this sentence, or how much he looked forward to it!He looked up at the starry sky, and the bright night sky was covered with stars, twinkling and twinkling as if he understood his wish.

She looked down at her son, and followed his focused gaze to the starry sky. With a thought, she sang the nursery rhyme she used to put her son to sleep:

I know the stars in the middle of the night can sing

homesick night

It just sings with me

I know the afternoon breeze can sing

childhood cicadas

it always follows the trend

when holding prosperity in hand

The mood has become barren

Only to realize that everything in the world will change

Diary of when youth is left

Wu Si is about to turn white hair

The only thing that doesn't change is that song in my heart

sing back and forth...

At this point, the little boy opened his mouth and sang with her in a childish voice:

The stars in the sky don't speak

The doll on the ground misses her mother

Eyes in the sky wink blink

Mother's heart, Lu Binghua...

When the little boy repeated it again, her heart trembled:

The stars in the sky don't speak

The doll on the ground misses daddy...

The little boy's tone-deaf singing voice hit her heart like a heavy hammer, she closed her mouth and held back the clouding in her eyes.The son actually changed the "mother" in the lyrics to "dad". She tried her best to resist the urge to cry, and she knew that she needed to be strong at this time.

The little boy sang it two or three times, and then fell asleep peacefully.The long eyelashes on the lightly closed eyes kept trembling, and the word "Dad" was mumbled indistinctly from time to time.

She got up slowly, and walked into the wooden house with the child in her arms.

The wooden house is not very big. Looking at the firelight coming through the curtain outside the house, there is a simple wooden bed on the right side of the house, covered with a layer of mattresses made of animal skins; Several animal skin bags of different sizes were hung from the wall.Neatly placed next to the foot of the house are a few shiny red and black coconut shells, with some words vaguely engraved on them.

There is nothing else.

She gently put the child on the bed, pulled up the animal skin quilt under his feet to cover the child, stroked the little boy's forehead twice, took out the little turtle from the child's hand and put it in a corner of the room half filled with sea water. In the coconut shell, he picked up two huge coconut shells and turned and walked out.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, except for the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, there were only insects and birds chirping and unknown little animals neighing in the forest.

She walked to the fire a few steps away, and put down two large coconut shells. Under the light of the flickering fire, the words on the coconut shells appeared. One was engraved with the word "sea salt" and the other was engraved with There are "ointments".She stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the two large tortoise shells that were placed aside, then picked up one and put it in her lap, crushed and stirred the yellow-white crystals in the shell one by one with a piece of hardwood with a suitable thickness, and scraped them on the Together, you can only give a full slap.

Although it was very small, she was a little happy, and carefully poured the fine white sandy crystals into the coconut shell marked with the word "sea salt".Fu ran to the beach again and put the sea water with a whole turtle shell on the fire, and continued to boil it.After the firewood is conditioned, the cooled ointment is packed into another coconut shell.

After doing all this, the forehead was slightly sweating.She stared at the coconut shells she held in each hand, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she recalled the past:

When she woke up here more than a year ago, her son was about to be two years old. She ran all over the beach with him in her arms, but couldn't find anyone.Panic, anxiety and all kinds of negative emotions invaded her nerves all the time and everywhere.It was the child's crying that brought her back to reality from the chaotic emotions. She forced herself to calm down, quickly analyzed the surrounding environment, and decided to make a fire first and then explore.

This experience made her unforgettable all her life. It was not as easy as she imagined.Fortunately, the husband who loved to watch "Survival in the Wild" took him to watch a lot in his previous life, and complained to him at the time, he had to watch this for what to do, he might use it at any time, but he didn't expect it to be really useful. .She found a dry tree trunk, took off the metal ornament at one end of the skirt and split it open, then used a small piece of wood to prop up the crack, stuffed some firelighters she collected, and used a piece about two feet long to open the crack. The rattan of the ruler was worn behind the firelighter, and the two feet stepped on the trunk, and the rattan was moved quickly from side to side. After nearly half an hour, it slowly smoked until it caught fire.

The waves hit the shore, the sea wind was strong, and everything around her made her feel inexplicably flustered. She could only hug the child and snuggle up by the fire, drying the half-wet clothes on her body. After a while, her son's mood gradually stabilized and he stopped crying. , Xu was tired, and fell asleep peacefully after a while.

She didn't know where this was, and she didn't even know where her husband had gone. Even in the first two days, she thought that she was having a difficult nightmare, hoping that someone would wake her up from the dream.

Within two days, there were no people, no cars, no planes, no sea vessels, and no high-tech products appeared.She gradually realized that the only thing she could rely on now was herself.In the first two days, coconut is the drink and conch soup is the staple food.Thanks to the good heavens, it didn't rain, otherwise the two of them wouldn't know where to hide.On the third day, she carried her son and walked on the beach for nearly ten miles. She collected conch shells, big and small, and roasted a lot of conch meat.She wrapped the food with a large plant leaf picked not far from the forest, hung it tightly behind her back with soft vines, and carried the clumsy child in front of her with soft vines, holding the torch in one hand and the long-terminal in the other. A five-foot sharp wooden stick walked into the forest...

She didn't know why she chose to enter the unknown jungle, although she knew that there were too many unknown dangers there.But if she doesn't take this step, she will definitely sit still.She wants to look for traces of civilization, even if a savage stands in front of her, it will add a little encouragement and confidence to life.

Her goal is a single peak not far away.She knew the reason why Wangshan ran a dead horse, and she was prepared for the long-distance walk in her heart.

The forest is densely wooded, with ferns of equal height and low shrubs, as well as uncles with lofty ambitions.Some she knew, some she hadn't even seen, just like a primitive ecological forest.

She tried to choose relatively open areas to walk, and every time she took a step, she always beat her face and around her body.After walking for nearly half a day, the air in the forest gradually became stuffy, and occasionally there was a faint sweet smell, which was the smell of rotting animal corpses in the forest.

Look at the top of the mountain through the tall tree canopy so that you don't lose your way.After walking for another moment, she wiped off her sweat with a wooden stick, and couldn't help frowning. Looking at the forest in front of her, which was like a thick wall behind layers, she felt a little guilty: Is she too adventurous?

In the past half a day, she saw a bird-eating spider as big as a palm, a red and black centipede nearly a foot long, and some pheasants and hares.

For her, the hope of life overwhelmed all fears, she only hoped that there would be no ferocious giant beasts, otherwise there would be no hope of survival at all.

A small river ten feet wide was not far in front of her. She trotted for two steps and decided to look for it along the river, because human beings always love to be next to water, so maybe they could find traces of human beings along the river.The moment she relaxed, a giant green snake jumped onto her path, spit out a dark red letter, and stared at her coldly.She took two steps back in shock, almost fell, and the hairs all over her body exploded!Let alone snakes, she is a little afraid of anything soft.

The snake stared for a moment with its triangular head held high, then its upper body suddenly tilted back, and the snake's mouth opened and made a "hissing" sound.The next moment, the big blue and white snake rushed over!

"Whoosh—" When she couldn't retreat, she heard the sound of piercing through the air, and a short flying spear firmly nailed the snake's body into the soil!
