Stranded on a deserted island with my beautiful boss, who used to make me kneel to do my daily work, now I want you kneeling before me, serving me...
...After Yang Rui finished speaking, he pointed out the situation outside to me in the firelight. Water was still flowing into the wooden planks.
To avoid getting their shoes wet, many people lean against the rock wall in very contorted and uncomfortable positions.
My legs are in terrible pain, and the wound on my shoulder is also throbbing with a tearing, stabbing pain.
But I know I can't stay here any longer.
"Let's all see if we can redirect this ever-flowing water so that we can create more suitable places for us to stay. Only then can we be more comfortable."
Wang Ping and the others didn't understand what I meant at all, but I quickly stood up and gave them a demonstration.
I had someone move all the things that were placed inside the cave to the other side. Then I told Wang Ping that after they had arranged everything neatly, they brought out the kitchen knife we had brought earlier. Fortunately, the water seeping in from outside wasn't too strong, so I chopped at the rocks on the ground a few times. After the rocks cracked, the water started flowing down the crack I had made.
This time, the water finally stopped spreading to both sides, but the knife was probably ruined.
Although I still feel very sorry for him, this is the only thing we can do in this situation.
After taking a look, Wang Ping and the others immediately nodded: "Brother Sihai, this method works! Why didn't we think of it before?"
I was still aching all over, so Wang Ping immediately helped me sit down to the side, then took the cleaver from me and we took turns working with several male colleagues.
After an entire afternoon, they finally used these knives to cut a small opening for water to flow through the area where we were sitting.
The water flow finally stopped spreading outwards, and we could finally stay here quietly.
That evening, Wang Ping, Yang Rui, and a few others caught quite a few fish at the cave entrance.
Although the quantity is not large, each person can get one or two strips, so they won't go hungry.
They placed the fish one by one on the campfire and grilled them methodically.
The foreigners have been having a tough time here these past few days, but in order to survive, we have to maintain order. Since it's our group that's collecting all the firewood and food, these foreigners have become much more obedient.
The group of foreigners were busy with their own tasks: some kept watch, others prepared the fish, and the situation was relatively peaceful.
I was injured this time and I felt weak all over. Perhaps it was because I was too worried, and my old injuries hadn't healed yet, so my overall condition wasn't very good.
Everything was arranged by Wang Ping and Yang Rui.
Fortunately, the two of them made very good arrangements.
After we finished eating the fish that evening, we stayed in the cave.
Three or four more days passed like this. Finally, the water outside calmed down. After we pushed aside the wooden planks blocking the water, we discovered that there were also many dead fish and shrimp in the woods outside, emitting a foul odor.
Wang Ping said this might be a gift from nature, since these trees probably don't have much fertilizer here.
However, because so many fish and shrimp were washed ashore by this small tsunami and rotted in the forest, they will provide a lot of nutrients to these trees.
However, none of these are what I'm worried about. What I'm most worried about right now is getting back to the camp as soon as possible. Although my leg injury hasn't fully healed, I'm eager to know how Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei are doing.
The foreigners naturally wanted to return to their old beach, even though the ships there might have been destroyed; that was their fate.
We've already done more than enough by helping him escape this calamity.
As for other things, they are no longer something that we can think about or arrange.
Yang Rui naturally followed us back to our camp, and I didn't say anything. After all, we had been through a lot during this time, and without Yang Rui, we might have had an even harder time.
Lin Xubo has been hanging out with foreigners these past few days and hasn't said much to us. Fortunately, he didn't cause any trouble this time, so we just pretended he didn't exist.
Before leaving, Lin Xubo grabbed a male colleague, seemingly trying to persuade us to go back with him.
However, the male colleague had been bullied by Lin Xubo quite a bit at the company, so he didn't respond at all. Lin Xubo was a little sullen, and we were too lazy to pay attention to him either.
With nothing left to pack, we gathered our belongings and headed back to our previous camp along the original route.
When we returned to the camp, we discovered that the water had already spread to this area. We really couldn't imagine how much of this deserted island was still flooded.
Fortunately, the water is gradually receding, and the previously torrential rain is gradually clearing up, which finally puts our minds at ease.
Back at the campsite, we reached the mountaintop. Thankfully, all the houses were still there. All the short-legged birds and wild goats had been brought into our wooden house, which was covered in bird droppings and reeked of foul odors.
Fortunately, the birds and sheep were all alive, but Chen Jian and his female colleagues were all gone.
Wang Ping took a deep breath when he saw that everything in the room was still neat and tidy.
"Chen Jian must have led them to a safe place. Now that the rain has stopped, they should be back soon."
I nodded, then followed Wang Ping into my wooden house. I had Wang Ping find the herbal powder that Xiao Qiang had prepared earlier, and he reapplied the medicine to my injured leg before I could finally lie down on the bed with peace of mind.
Wang Ping and the others also need to tidy up the small warehouse where we used to store firewood.
The warehouse is probably not very well constructed, so it's a bit crooked now. Fortunately, the firewood inside is only partially dry, so it's still usable.
I felt relieved that Wang Ping and the others were packing up, and being back at my own camp always made me feel more at ease.
But when Wang Ping and the others were about to go to work, I whispered to Wang Ping to be careful of Yang Rui.
The more time I spent with him, the more unfathomable I felt he was.
Wang Ping nodded: "Don't worry about this, I know what to do."
I lay on the wooden bed, and before long, I drifted off to sleep.
In my dream, I kept dreaming of that fanged fish that kept chasing me. I kept running around, but there was nowhere to land. Just when I was about to collapse and despair, I suddenly heard a familiar sound in my ear.
Looking up and opening her eyes, she realized that Xiao Qiang and the others had returned.
