Chapter 122: Life is all about gritting your teeth and persevering
"Did you miss me today?"
“Euroeu ~”
"I'll bring you some squids, which I just caught."
“Euroeu ~~”
Seeing the little squid, Xiaomi excitedly slapped the water with her tail.
Since Xiaomi has accompanied Jiang Hao, his life has become fulfilling 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 period, Jiang Hao never got the loneliness value, but he didn't care. He didn't want to be lonely anymore.
The will made him persist and not withdraw, but he now resisted the feeling of returning to loneliness.
Looking at the sunset, Jiang Hao said to Xiaomi: "Okay, let's get here today. I'm going back. You can go home to find your mother."
“Euroeu ~~”
"Okay, I will come here to play with you early tomorrow."
“Euroeu ~~”
Walking back on the raft, Xiaomi saw him off all the way to the shallows. Xiaomi turned around and left. She turned around from time to time to look at Jiang Hao, looking reluctant.
"Mmmmm~~"
Jiang Hao blew the conch.
Whoosh ~
A figure jumped out of the sea and fell, extremely cheerful, the sea water sprinkled, and the body of Xiaomi was covered with a layer of gold when the sunset shone.
the next day,
After finishing his own affairs, Jiang Hao came to the sea area to party with Xiaomi as usual, took out a 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 later, Xiaomi's figure did not appear.
Half an hour later, Jiang Hao was anxious, but he still didn't see Xiaomi.
He had blown conch several times. In the past, the little girl had come to him to play with, but she didn't come today.
Not only Xiaomi, but Jiang Hao did not see other dolphins either.
He had a bad idea in his mind: "Did the dolphin group encounter something unexpected?"
It's unlikely,
Dolphins are large carnivores, at the top of the food chain. They live in groups. In addition to ferocious killer whales, other marine creatures, including sharks, basically cannot pose too much threat to dolphins.
Even if Xiaomi encounters danger, why didn’t any of the other dolphins appear?
Jiang Hao blew the conch every few minutes, hoping that the little girl would appear, but unfortunately, it didn't.
It's noon,
The sun was very hot. Jiang Hao stood for three or four hours, his lips were dry and his stomach was roaring, but he still didn't want to go back.
"Woooooooooooooo~~~"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~"
The sound of conch whimpering sounds from time to time on the sea, just like Jiang Hao’s mood at this moment.
He dropped the conch and lay down on the edge of the raft. Jiang Hao slapped the water hard, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, s
“Xiaomi~~”
The sun sets westward, Jiang Hao stood alone on the raft. He knew that Xiaomi would not come back. Although he was unwilling to believe it, he understood that dolphins were migratory animals. They would chase ocean currents and food groups and migrate continuously. Two months ago, Xiaomi and his group came here. Yesterday, the dolphin group should have migrated to other places.
Why was Xiaomi so reluctant to leave yesterday? I'm afraid she had known that the tribe was going to migrate long ago, but she didn't know how to say it and couldn't tell Jiang Hao, so she sent it to the beach.
He returned to the island with a raft and dragged his tired body back to the cave. Jiang Hao did not eat. Although he did not eat at noon and at night, he was not hungry at all now. He just drank a few sips of water and lay down.
Lying down and sleeping, maybe Xiaomi will come back tomorrow, and their tribe just went to hunt further away, and they will come back tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Hao got up early and didn't even go to collect fresh water that he had to do every day. He just rode a raft to the sea. He hoped to see Xiaomi as soon as possible.
But he was disappointed.
Xiaomi did not appear for a whole day, and other dolphins did not appear. Jiang Hao can now confirm that the dolphin group has indeed migrated away.
Maybe in this life,
I will never see Xiaomi again.
Back at the cave, Jiang Hao lay on the stone bed without moving, he just wanted to sleep for a while. Perhaps there was hope tomorrow, so his head was a little drowsy and he fell asleep in a daze.
At night, Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable, hugged his sweater tightly, his body shivered slightly, and the day came, but Jiang Hao did not get up. He was sick and very sick. He did not eat and drink water yesterday, which made his already weak body collapse suddenly. He now had a high fever.
In a daze, countless scenes flashed through Jiang Hao's mind, Jiuer, Lili, Zhen Xiaoqiu, and even the figure of his college girlfriend who was already a little blurred in his memory.
He thought of his parents again,
My father was very strong all his life and used all his abilities to support the family. Although the family conditions were limited, he still worked hard to support his three children in school. My mother was an honest and honest person. She went to work in the fields and handled housework, and spent her whole life with her children and this family.
He thought of quitting and ending this task, but Jiang Hao remembered the words his father had said to him: "Child, nothing in this world is easy. Everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering, but as long as they work hard, they will not regret it even if they fail in the future."
Jiang Hao tried hard to open his eyes and climbed up. He was so weak that he couldn't even support his body. He held the wall and came to the shelf, picked up a conch, drank water in big mouthfuls, and soon drank all the conch water.
He picked a dried salted fish from the wall and bitten it hard.
The dried fish was a little hard, Jiang Hao chewed and swallowed it with all his strength. He knew that he needed to replenish energy now, no matter what, eat it.
"Ding~~ I have collected the feelings of "lostness", please continue to work hard!"
A system message jumps out.
Jiang Hao opened the system panel and looked at the information on it. He suddenly increased by more than ten points. His current task value has reached 99%.
His best friend Xiaomi left, which made him feel lonely and sad. He was sick, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere, which made the loneliness increase so much at once.
Is it still a little bit short?
It's just a little bit.
Jiang Hao was even more struggling to bite the dried salted fish. He wanted to get better. His father was right. When encountering difficulties, giving up is the most undesirable way. Gritting his teeth and persevering is the essence of life.
Two days later, Jiang Hao finally recovered.
Before Chaoyang first passed away, Jiang Hao took the conch to the woods to collect dew. All his reserves were consumed two days ago, so he wanted to get as much as possible.
There are still a lot of dried fish, and he can hold on for two months even if he doesn't go into the sea.
Get a handful of fresh bracken from the woods, make a dish of bracken salted fish porridge, eat it in big mouthfuls, and try to replenish your body's needs.
It's just a little bit short, he believes it will be done soon.
