Text Volume 1 Survival on a Desert Island_Chapter 21 Conversation
"Okay!"
Next, as agreed before, Li Mingzhi asked Meng Yuan to take out the remaining food in his backpack and divide it equally.
This backpack is much smaller than my previous travel bag, and the food it contains is at least half less than when they snatched it, Li Mingming saw my suspicious gaze when he was distributing, and said: "Don't doubt it, everything is here, you think about the seven or eight of us at the time, after eating, there is not much left!" ”
Indeed, yesterday Li Mingming and the others were still seven or eight people, including Zuo Mingzhu and Huang Wenbin, and the travel bag was full of snacks and the like, which could not satisfy hunger at all, especially foods such as potato chips and biscuits, and they were easy to get thirsty after eating too much, so there was not much water left.
In the end, my three daughters and I were given three packets of biscuits, four packets of potato chips, and three bottles of water, and I thought to myself, this is probably the last meal we can eat in a civilized society.
In the afternoon, according to the previous allocation, Li Mingming offered to go out with me to look for food. And I was worried about the safety of the three girls, so I picked up a large pile of hay from the outside, spread it in the hole, let them rest inside, and handed over the bow and spear to Bai Jiao, and told Bai Jiao that if anyone dared to come in, don't show mercy, and stab them to death directly.
Although Bai Jiao felt that this was a bit cruel, she nodded in order to reassure me.
I went out with Li Mingming, and after looking for an afternoon, we found nothing, not even a hare pheasant or something.
I understand the way the men in leather do it, they may be really hard to find food, so they eat the corpses of their companions.
When I returned to the cave, it was already evening, and the day's work had made me a little paralyzed from exhaustion.
As soon as the night began, the temperature began to plummet, and Li Mingming and his party had already lit a fire outside the cave, while I took out a cigarette and sat down at the entrance of the cave to smoke.
Seeing that I have cigarettes, Li Mingming and Chen Hongji both gathered in front of me, generally our Chinese men who smoke have a habit of scattering cigarettes when they see people, but when I was about to take them out, Li Mingzhi actually said first: "Zhang Lang, if you say that you will divide it equally, then the cigarettes should also be divided, right?" ”
Chen Hongji also agreed with Li Mingming's statement and nodded: "Yes, yes, Zhang Lang, where did you get this cigarette?" ”
I smoked two cigarettes and handed them them, and seeing that there were still a dozen of them left in the cigarette case, each of them gave them three or four, and anyway, I still had two packs in my pocket, and it seemed that I would have to carry a little bit when I smoked in the future.
"It's all found in the cabin, and the cigarette must be on your body at any time!"
"Great!" Li Mingming is also an old smoker, he hasn't smoked for more than a week, and it is impossible to quit, but when he sees others smoking, he becomes more addicted to smoking.
He sat beside me for a while, very satisfied, Chen Hongji also looked comfortable, I think fortunately Chen Rusheng and Meng Yuan don't smoke, otherwise, this cigarette is really not enough.
As soon as the cigarette is lit, the men talk more and more, and this thing is wonderful, sometimes like wine.
Li Mingming and I have been hostile to each other since we came to this island, but often, a cigarette, a glass of wine, the gap between men has been lowered, and we have temporarily put aside the mustard in our hearts and started talking.
"Zhang Lang, I know that you hate me very much in your heart now and look down on me......" Li Mingzhi took a deep breath of smoke rings and said: "I know, my approach is indeed not very authentic, but if you stand in my perspective, you won't think so, do you think about why so many people are willing to stand by my side?" Because everyone thinks the same thing. ”
"It's all about sacrificing others and surviving your own ideas?" I sneered and retorted.
Chen Hongji also said on the side: "Although the words are ugly, they are true. ”
Li Mingzhi nodded: "Zhang Lang, to be honest, there are not many good people like you now, in this case, most people have to consider their own interests first, Jing Ran is injured, our food is already in short supply, in that case, none of us dare to guarantee that she will survive, sooner or later she will die, why waste food on a dying person?" This is not the time for us to talk about humanitarianism! ”
"But...... Sister Ran still survived! ”
"That's right...... And then what? She is still a burden to you, Zhang Lang, one day, you will understand my words. It's like we left Zuo Mingzhu last night, maybe you and Zuo Mingzhu can't understand what we do, but you think about it from another angle, what if we go back to save her and are killed by an arrow? ”
Chen Hongji agreed with Li Mingming's statement: "Yes, I lost my life. ”
Li Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "So, people are selfish, I might as well tell you Zhang Lang, even if we are under the same roof now, if one day we have to conflict in order to survive, I will choose to kill you!" ”
Li Mingming's words made me feel a chill in my back, indeed, maybe most people have the same idea as Li Mingming, this is human beings. But there is a small part that will not, and I happen to be a member of that small group, and so is Bai Jiao, which is why the two of us are divided into two people.
But now that the two people live together for one purpose, this is the cruelty of nature, and life is destined to be conflicted.
After smoking, I was not interested in talking to Li Mingzhi anymore, and walked towards the cave without saying a word, Li Mingming just smiled faintly, looking at the sunset in the distance, there was a trace of depth between his eyebrows.
Walking into the cave, through the light of the fire that Li Mingming and they lit in the outer cave, I saw Zuo Mingzhu and Jing Ran half-leaning on the cave wall, and Bai Jiao was holding a bow and arrow, sitting aside in a daze.
Seeing me come in, Bai Jiao hurriedly gave me a place, I sat down next to Bai Jiao with a smile, and lay down on Jing Ran's lower abdomen.
"Oops, it hurts!" Jing Ran was accidentally touched by me, I quickly got up and apologized repeatedly, Jing Ran pouted, and did not speak again.
I looked at Bai Jiao with a smile again: "Jiaojiao, tonight, let's ...... That one...... Hey. ”
In fact, I just want to say to Bai Jiao, since we are all in this cave now, it is better to squeeze it is healthier, and there is no need to make a fire to keep warm at night.
But I don't know why there is an extra slap mark on my face for some reason, this girl I'm also drunk, even if I want to do something to you, then I have to look at my goddess, Sister Ran is watching from the side, how can I do something sorry for her?
Anyway, the end result was my first vigil.
Although a tentative agreement was reached with Lee Mingming, in view of the previous two Li Mingming's behaviors, the four of us decided to take turns keeping vigils.
