Chapter 122: Life is about gritting your teeth and persevering
"Did you miss me today?"
"Ou Ou Ou Ou~"
"I'll bring you some little squid, I just caught."
"Ou Ou Ou ~~"
Seeing the little squid, Millet excitedly slapped the water with her tail.
Since having Xiaomi's company, Jiang Hao's life has become full and happy, they swim and play together, volleyball Mr. Wilson has now become Xiaomi's favorite toy, Jiang Hao and Xiaomi play volleyball in the sea.
Two months have passed in a flash, and even Xiaomi has grown up a little.
During this time, Jiang Hao never got the loneliness value, but he didn't care, he didn't want to be lonely.
The will made him hold on and not quit, but he now resisted the feeling of returning to loneliness.
Looking at the sunset, Jiang Hao said to Xiaomi: "Okay, let's stop here today, I'm going back, you can also go home to find your mother." ”
"Ou Ou Ou ~~"
"Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow to play with you."
"Ou Ou Ou ~~"
Supporting the raft and walking back, Xiaomi sent each other all the way, until it reached the shallows, Xiaomi turned around and left, and just like that, he turned around to look at Jiang Hao from time to time, looking reluctant.
"Hmm~~"
Jiang Hao blew the conch.
Sou~
A figure jumped out and fell from the sea, extremely cheerful, the sea water sprinkled a piece, and the body of millet shining in the sunset was covered with a layer of gold.
The next day,
After Jiang Hao was busy with his own affairs, he came to the sea area to gather with millet as usual, took out the conch and blew it, with a smile on his face, waiting for the little girl to pounce into his arms.
Three minutes passed, and there was no reaction at sea.
Ten minutes passed, and Xiaomi's figure did not appear.
Half an hour later, Jiang Hao was anxious, but he still didn't see Xiaomi.
He had blown the conch several times, and the little girl had already come to play with him in the past, but she didn't come today.
Not only Xiaomi, but Jiang Hao also did not see the figure of other dolphins.
He had a bad thought in his heart: "Could it be that something happened to the dolphin herd?" ”
Unlikely,
Dolphins are large carnivores, at the top of the food chain, they live together in groups, and other marine life, including sharks, with the exception of ferocious killer whales, is rarely too much of a threat to dolphins.
Even if Xiaomi is in danger, what about the other dolphins, why didn't one appear.
Jiang Hao blew the conch every few minutes, expecting the little girl to appear, but unfortunately, it didn't.
It's noon,
The sun was very hot, and Jiang Hao stood for three or four hours, his lips were dry and his stomach was growling with hunger, but he still didn't want to go back.
"Woo woo~~~"
"Woo woo ~ ~~"
The sound of a conch whimpering sounded on the sea from time to time, just like Jiang Hao's mood at the moment.
Dropping the conch and lying on the side of the raft, Jiang Hao slapped the water hard, papapa, pa, and couldn't stop shouting: "Xiaomi, little girl, I'm here." ”
"Xiaomi~~"
The sun was setting in the west, Jiang Hao stood lonely on the raft, he knew that Millet would not come back, although he didn't want to believe it, but he understood that dolphins are migratory animals, they will chase ocean currents and food groups and keep migrating, two months ago Millet and his group came here, yesterday, the dolphin population should have migrated to other places.
Why was Xiaomi so reluctant yesterday, I'm afraid she already knew that the ethnic group was going to migrate, but she couldn't say it, and she couldn't tell Jiang Hao, so she kept sending it to the beach.
Holding the raft back to the island, dragging his tired body back to the cave, Jiang Hao did not eat, although he did not eat at noon and night, but he was not hungry at all, just drank a few sips of water and lay down.
Lie down and sleep, maybe tomorrow Millet will come back, their tribe just went farther away to hunt, and tomorrow will be back.
The next day, Jiang Hao got up early, didn't even go to collect fresh water that he had to do every day, and went directly to the sea with a raft, hoping to see millet as soon as possible.
But he was disappointed.
For a whole day, millet did not appear, and other dolphins did not appear, and Jiang Hao could now be sure that the dolphin group had indeed migrated.
Maybe in this life,
Never see Xiaomi again.
Back in the cave, Jiang Hao lay on the stone bed and didn't want to move, he just wanted to sleep, maybe there was hope for tomorrow, his head was a little dizzy, and he fell asleep in a daze.
At night, Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable on his body, hugged his sweater tightly, his body trembled slightly, the day came, but Jiang Hao didn't get up, he was sick, very sick, he didn't eat or drink yesterday, so that his already weak body collapsed all of a sudden, and he now has a high fever.
In a trance, countless pictures flashed in Jiang Hao's mind, Jiu'er, Lili, Zhen Xiaoqiu, and even the figure of the college girlfriend who was already a little blurry in his memory.
He thought of his parents again,
My father was very strong all his life, and tried his best to support the family, although the family conditions were limited, he still worked hard to provide for the three children to study, and the mother was an honest person, working in the fields, taking care of the housework, and serving the children and the family all her life.
He thought of quitting and ending this task, but Jiang Hao remembered what his father once said to him: "Child, nothing is easy in this world, everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering, but as long as they work hard, they will not regret it even if they don't succeed in the future." ”
Jiang Hao tried to open his eyes and get up, he was so weak that he couldn't even support his body, he leaned against the wall to the shelf, took off a conch, drank it in a big gulp, and drank all the conch water in a short time.
He plucked a dried salted fish from the wall and tore it hard.
The dried fish was a little hard, Jiang Hao chewed and swallowed it with all his strength, he knew that now he needed to replenish his energy, no matter what, eat it.
"Ding~~ Collect the feeling of "loneliness", please keep up the efforts of the collector! ”
A system message pops up.
Jiang Hao opened the system panel, looked at the information on it, and it suddenly increased by more than a dozen points, and his current task value has reached 99%.
His best friend Xiaomi left, making him feel lonely and sad, sick, and he could only grit his teeth and persist alone, which made the loneliness value increase so much at once.
It's just a little bit closer.
It's just a little bit worse.
Jiang Hao bit the dried salted fish even harder, he wants to get better, his father is right, when encountering difficulties, giving up is the most undesirable way, gritting his teeth and persevering, this is the essence of life.
Two days later, Jiang Hao finally recovered.
Before Chaoyang was born, Jiang Hao took the conch to the woods to collect dew, and all the reserves were exhausted in the first two days, so he wanted to get as many as possible.
There are still a lot of dried fish, even if he doesn't go to sea, he can last for two months.
I got a handful of fresh bracken in the woods, made a meal of bracken salted fish porridge, and ate it in large gulps to replenish the body's needs as much as possible.
It's just a little close, and he believes it will be done soon.
