Chapter 215: Words of Desperation
The rain continued to rain, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a raging storm, as if to sweep away all living beings and restore a quiet world to the world. But in the small grotto of this deserted island, it is a different scene at the moment.
The bonfire burned vigorously and illuminated the cave red, and the rock walls reflected the heat wave to keep the cave warm and comfortable, and the damp ground and a large pile of trees surrounding it steamed out. Smoke and heat erupted from the top of the cavern and rose in the dark rain.
Around the campfire, a few huge mussel shells were boiling hot soup, and a few small fish and red shrimp were tumbling inside. A few sea fish were stuck in a few sticks next to it, licking the golden yellow of the flames of the bonfire, and they sounded seductively.
Lin Jue's long hair was steaming hot, and he was turning the grilled fish with concentration on his face, and Gao Muqing's long hair, who was sitting next to Lin Jue, was also hanging down, reaching his waist like a waterfall. The hair covered half of the torn clothes, and there were thousands of styles between the half and the half.
'Grunt' Someone's stomach suddenly rang, and under the lure of the fragrance, the intestines obviously couldn't withstand the temptation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my stomach is really rude." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Gao Muqing's face turned crimson, and he reached out and slapped Lin Jue, in fact, the grunt just now came from Gao Muqing's stomach, and Lin Jue was obviously ridiculing his own disgrace.
"Okay, you can taste it. This sea fish does not need condiments, sea water is the best seasoning, and it should taste good. Lin Jue handed over a roasted golden fish on both sides, and Gao Muqing, who was already eager to wear it, hurriedly thanked him, and gently picked up the surface with a bamboo skewer, and suddenly the white and tender fresh meat was exposed, and the fragrance was stronger.
"Eat it while it's hot, and I've finished eating one shell fish soup for one person." Lin Jue smiled, lifted his fish to his mouth, and took a hard bite. The species of fish is unknown, but it is tender and delicious. After escaping death, this meal is as delicious as the best food in the world, and the hot fish meat melts into a stream of energy and spirit into the body, making people feel so comfortable and comfortable that they even forget the embarrassment in front of them.
"It's the best fish I've ever eaten in my life." Gao Muqing exclaimed.
Lin Jue smiled silently, eating the fish in a big gulp, he had no time to taste the deliciousness of the fish, he just wanted to swallow the fish into his stomach as soon as possible, so that the hungry and tired body could quickly recover his energy.
A big fish per person soon became a pile of fish bones, and soon the rich fish and shrimp soup boiled in two shells also went down to the stomach, and the two of them actually ate the tip of their noses sweating, which was extremely comfortable.
"Have you eaten enough? Is that enough? Lin Jue asked with a smile.
Gao Muqing nodded with a red face and said, "It's full, it's really delicious." I actually ate a whole big fish and drank so much soup. If it goes on like this, I'm going to gain weight. ”
Lin Jue rolled his eyes, stretched his waist and said, "The banana leaves over there are dried up, and they are very soft to sleep on." Today, we almost died in one day, so we have to go to bed early tonight to recover our strength. You go to sleep. ”
Gao Muqing said: "You...... What about you? Don't you sleep? ”
Lin Jue said: "I'll take care of the fire, and I'll pick up some firewood for baking in a while, otherwise this firewood will be extinguished tomorrow morning." ”
"I'm with you." Gao Muqing said.
"No, it's not good if both of you get wet. Besides, I don't need two people to do this bit of work, I can do it alone. Lin Jue said.
Gao Muqing said: "That...... Thank you for your hard work. ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, I hurt you to this point, I should apologize to you." ”
Gao Muqing feigned anger and said, "Do you still say such things? I don't like to hear it. ”
Lin Jue laughed, got up, cleaned up the fishbone shells and threw them out of the cave. Looking at the dark and dreary rain curtain outside, he stretched out his hand and put a mantle folded into banana leaves on his head and went out of the cave, and by the faint light of the sky, he packed up a large bundle of wet firewood near the left side of the cave entrance and put it on the side of the bonfire to bake. Then he came out of the cave and stood in the rain to wash his long hair and body in the heavy rain, and when he came back to the cave, he was already trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Lin Jue hurriedly added some firewood and curled up beside the bonfire to bake, and the hair on his body was steaming, like a fairy flying through the clouds.
The sound of the wind and rain raging outside and the tide surging faintly came, and Lin Jue rested his head on his knees and looked at the dark cave and went out of his mind. Although he escaped from the sea, Lin Jue's mood was not much better. Because he knew that being trapped on this small island was not an expedient measure, and he was not out of danger. In fact, the current situation can never be called an escape, and the lives of himself and Gao Muqing are still in danger. Not only the lives of his own two people, but the failure of today's events would bring extremely significant catastrophic consequences, Lin Jue did not dare to imagine.
A hot robe was draped on Lin Jue's back, and Lin Jue turned his head to see that Gao Muqing was slowly sitting down beside him. His eyes were looking at him quietly.
"Why didn't you go to sleep? I just saw you lying down. ”
"I can't sleep, and you can't sleep either. Lin Jue, we're trapped here and can't go back, can we? You're worried about this, aren't you? Gao Muqing asked softly.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way, there's no way out. We have all survived today's situation, what are we afraid of? Lin Jue smiled.
Gao Muqing shook his head slowly and said, "Don't comfort me, I understand, we can't go back." In the middle of nowhere, we don't have a ship, we don't know where we are, and we've been stuck here for the rest of our lives. Ay! ”
Lin Jue smiled: "How can you be so pessimistic as you say." ”
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue and said, "I understand, as soon as the hurricane comes, it will be more than ten days of wind and rain, and we will never be able to go back." Even if we can drink rainwater and eat fish and shrimp here for more than ten days, what about after the hurricane? There is no water on such an island, and we will die of thirst and starvation. Moreover, I think the pirates will definitely come to search, they will find us, and we have nowhere to run. So, we're actually dead. ”
Lin Jue frowned and stared at the jumping candle flame silently, Gao Muqing was right, she was not stupid, she saw the current situation clearly. For now, it is only temporary security, and the real crisis is yet to come. They may not make it out of the island alive.
"Lin Jue, when the hurricane hit today, I thought I was going to die in the sea. I regretted it at the time. Gao Muqing said in a low voice.
"Regret what? Do you regret agreeing to take this risk with me? It's all my fault, hey, it's my own inadequacy. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Where do you think of it, I don't regret it, I regret it...... Regret that I didn't get ...... to you Indicate the heart traces. On Guishan Island, although you and I are fake marriages, in my heart, this life is no longer a king, and I will never marry someone else. I know you may not like a woman like me, you like a woman like Miss Fang, but I'm not like that. However, I, Gao Muqing, am such a person, and I can't do it. I wanted to never see you for the rest of my life, out of sight is pure, but I couldn't let go of you, so I came to Hangzhou to protect you, I can't let you be hurt. But I don't have the courage to confess my heart to you, I know you don't like me, so I can only bury it all in my heart. ”
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing blankly, he actually felt it, but he felt that Gao Muqing didn't seem to be the kind of woman who couldn't afford to let go, and he was entangled in emotional matters, so he didn't dare to provoke her. But now listening to her say this, my heart is touched.
"When I died in the sea today, I thought, if I could survive today, I would confess my heart to you. No matter what you think, I don't want to have regrets in this life. After that, even if I leave forever, in short, I want to make it clear about the matter between you and me. Now, we are trapped here, and you and I actually know in our hearts that we can't get out, we can't live. At this time, I still have nothing to scruple about, I don't want to leave regrets before I die, so I want to tell you these words. Before I died, I ...... There's a request. Gao Muqing said in a low voice.
Lin Jue looked at her with a smile and said, "Mu Qing, if you treat me like this, it is a request, that is, ten hundred, but if I can do it, I will agree." ”
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with a confused look in his eyes for a long time, and said with a smile: "If you can't do it, don't force it." I don't want to embarrass you. I was just...... Just wanted to ask you. When you and I were married in the cottage that day, did you have a ...... in your heart? Even a little bit like me. I knew it was a play, but I ...... Seriously, do you take it a little bit? ”
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing silently, he didn't know how to answer her question. The original marriage was just a ploy, but Lin Jue had half of the other ideas. But when an answer is spoken, it will obviously make Gao Muqing sad.
Gao Muqing nodded lightly and said, "I understand, you don't have to answer." ”
"Mu Qing, I ......"
"You don't need to say more, I know. I think I'm Gao Muqing just the daughter of a bandit leader in the mouth of everyone, although I can't choose this identity, but after all, ...... After all, it is not tolerated by the world. When you went to the cottage for the purpose, how could you have any personal feelings for your children. Again...... Besides, you already have someone in mind, I'm just wishful thinking. Ay! I don't know how I could be like this, how I could never forget it after I married you. Maybe I'm lonely, and after I don't have a father, I really want to have a relative by my side. Gao Muqing raised his head and muttered to himself.
Lin Jue said softly: "Mu Qing, when I was in the cottage, I really didn't think about anything, and the situation at that time didn't allow it. Having married you also damaged your reputation, and I am very disturbed in my heart. But this is no longer the case. Now that you and I have been through hardships together, and you have done so much for me, I am both grateful and admired in my heart, and I don't feel for you anymore. Unfortunately, we are all going to die here, and if we can escape this, I hope to compensate you well. ”
Gao Muqing's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Jue and said, "You mean, you have fallen in love with me now, right?" ”
