Chapter 386: Death

After much struggle, I decided to come out and find Momo.

The sky had completely darkened, as if it had been painted a not very pure black, and there was a terrible feeling. When the wind blows, the leaves on the trees rustle, which is especially noticeable in the quiet of the night.

"Momo?" I plucked up my courage and shouted as I walked, if even I was so scared, Momo would be even more isolated.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and I was afraid to go back and worried about her safety.

"Momo?" There was an echo in the empty woods, and the leaves fell to the ground in a sway, and I don't know if it was because of the wind or because of my voice, I smiled bitterly.

"Hmm......" I heard a faint voice, not very loud but I was sure it wasn't my hallucination, but the sound was so faint that it didn't come back until the evening, it must be that it was hurt by something, I thought to myself, and walked quickly towards the source of the sound.

When I got to the source of the sound, I did spot Momo, but my eyes were drawn to the extra person next to Momo.

Is it Black Zhuang? Or a wife? I was overjoyed, and the outline of the man's face was only vaguely discerned by the obscuration of the trees and the darkness of the sky, and to test my suspicions, I approached them.

To my disappointment, it was a completely unfamiliar face, dark and plain, with only a pair of large eyes that stood exceptionally bright on the face. I reassured myself that it was a good thing that I had found someone other than me and Momo on the island.

"Why don't you go back?" I asked a little angrily, but it was more of a worry.

"I can't leave her here by myself, and I know you're going to come out for us," Momo squeezed her eyes at me mischievously, and she sighed helplessly as she made her stomach feel like she had nowhere to vent.

Only then did I realize that the girl's feet were already a blur of flesh and blood, and I could no longer see the original shape.

It's a real nuisance, I frowned, our current situation is already quite bad, and it will only get worse if we bring her back with us, but if we leave her here, the kind Momo will definitely not agree.

Living with someone we never knew before, I really experienced everything when I came to this island.

Momo's mood was not as heavy as mine, she hummed a little song, and along the way I carried the new girl on my back, holding Momo in one hand, and returned to the cave like this.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally returned, and then it occurred to me that this strange girl had not yet said a word, let alone told us her name.

I grabbed a fruit and handed it to her as I asked, "What's your name?"

Momo heard my question and looked at her curiously, and it seemed that Momo didn't know either.

The girl just took the fruit I handed over with her hand, and gnawed it seriously one bite at a time, without answering my question, my hand was still in the air, the air was thin, and the scene was embarrassing.

I looked back at Momo, who also looked at me with a confused expression.

"She can't hear or can't speak," I asked Momo.

Momo didn't answer me, I was thinking about how I had become like this today, when I saw Momo's eyes looking straight at the girl behind me.

I followed Momo's gaze and looked behind me.

I don't know when the girl had finished eating the fruit in her hand, and quickly approached me, I turned around, my nose almost touched hers, and I was startled by the sudden magnification of my face, and I quickly flicked back and looked at her defensively.

"I'm not deaf or dumb," she said slowly, biting her lip and pausing, staring at me with wide, blank eyes, "I just don't know my name." ”

There is a lesson from Hei Zhuang without a name, and I no longer feel new about the fact that I don't have a name, and I secretly breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately I am not dumb or deaf, otherwise there is a disability on my feet, I really won't necessarily go down with such a person.

But since she opened her mouth, Momo and I looked at each other, and we naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

Momo and I asked all kinds of questions, and the gesture was like trying to turn out her family tree, but fortunately, this girl was not as indifferent as when we asked for her name, and thought carefully about each of our questions, telling us word by word what she knew, and shaking her head where she didn't know.

Momo and I only then learned that she also came to this island by accident, and like us, what is more important than us is that she became alone after coming to the island, and now I don't know whether her friend is dead or alive, and to make matters worse, she has also lost part of her memory.

The emotional Momo had already left tears of sympathy when she heard this accident-like story, and the corners of my eyes were a little moist, she was really a strong girl.

In the next few days, we had no defense against her, and regarded her as a member of our future expedition, but her injured foot, on this desert island, there was no way except to find some leaves to compress, but the leaves are not omnipotent, without treatment, her foot condition is getting worse and worse, after the flesh is completely rotted, you can almost see the white bones on her feet.

Momo and I felt that the situation was also very unoptimistic, but we couldn't show it in front of her, we always appeared in front of her happily, and Momo also named her Xiaoyan.

We live like this, let Xiaoyan not think so much, and take care of our bodies in the cave, and Momo and I continue to look for the whereabouts of my wife and Hei Zhuang except when we eat.

After a few days, the whole island has been searched by us, but there is still no trace of Hei Zhuang and his wife.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the wife and Hei Zhuang died, and the other is that they are on another island.

Momo and I want to go to another island to find my wife and Hei Zhuang, but Xiaoyan's physical condition doesn't allow us to do so, so what should we do if we go on like this?

I discussed it with Momo, and finally decided to go to another island to find my wife and Heizhuang, and as for Xiaoyan, we would pick up enough food and put it in the cave, and promise her that we would come back to pick her up.

"I'm very grateful that you can save me, you also make me feel warm, I can't drag you down anymore" Xiaoyan shook his head, "You go about your own business, please leave me alone, I'm very happy to live until now," Xiaoyan's eyes flashed with tears.

A powerful sense of guilt welled up in me, almost devouring my whole being. I turned my head to look at Momo, and Momo's eyes also flashed with parting tears.

I sighed heavily, held Xiaoyan's weak shoulder, looked at her seriously and promised, "Don't give up hope in life, otherwise you will waste all this hard work between me and Momo."

Xiaoyan nodded slightly, as for how much this kid listened, I don't know.

Without further ado, after comforting Xiaoyan, Momo and I set off to swim to a nearby island, we arrived at night and consumed a lot of physical strength in the water, after landing on the island, I found a suitable place, and Momo and I fell asleep deeply.

When I woke up again, it was already dawning, the sun was shining in every corner of the island, and when the breeze blew, the tender green branches and leaves swayed gently, as if I felt happy for the sunshine sprinkled on me.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes, stood up and straightened my back comfortably and yawned, maybe it was a yawn, or maybe the breeze was too comfortable, Momo also rolled over and sat up, and when we both woke up, we began to search.

Efficiency is so important to us, and for me and Momo, we are not just people on this island, but there are people on another island who need our help.

At the end of the day, we didn't have anything to gain except to see some timid critters scurrying around. I comforted myself, anyway, we only went to some small places, and there are many places we haven't been to yet, my wife and Hei Zhuang must be in those places, and I believe Momo has the same thoughts as me.

The day passed like this, and if we still couldn't find them the next day, we could only choose to leave and go back for the time being, after all, on another island, there were still little eyes waiting for us silently.

Maybe our prayers were effective enough, or maybe our good deeds to save Xiaoyan moved the heavens, and the next day we really found Hei Zhuang and his wife.

When we saw each other, we were all shocked, in fact, Momo and I didn't have much hope anymore, but now I see people who think about each other standing in front of us, and my mood can no longer be described as excited.

At that time, I felt that all the mistakes between us could be forgiven, as long as we were alive.

It was his wife and Momo who reacted first, and the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time hugged each other and cried bitterly, and the strength of the hug seemed to press the other person into their bones.

My black man and I couldn't shed tears, we looked at each other quietly, everything was silent.

"Now we have to go back quickly," I said, thinking about my little eyes, and did not leave much time for nostalgia and warmth.

"Why," Hei Zhuang asked, and sure enough, no matter where he blew it, he was the kind of character who broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Anyway, I can't say a word or two," I waved at him, giving Momo a look hoping that she would help me say a few words.

After receiving it, Momo pulled his wife and coquettishly said, "Sister, you just follow us back, there will be surprises and accidents," and spit out her tongue mischievously.
