Chapter 121 Life Is to Grit Your Teeth and Persevere

"Did you miss me today?"

"Ooooo~"

"I brought you some little squid, which I just caught."

"Ooooo~~"

Seeing the little squid, Xiaomi excitedly slapped the water with his tail.

Since being accompanied by Xiaomi, 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 the blink of an eye, and even Xiaomi has grown up a bit.

During this time, Jiang Hao never got the loneliness value, but he didn't care, he didn't want to be lonely anymore.

The will kept him from quitting, but now he is somewhat resisting returning to the feeling of being alone.

Looking at the sunset, Jiang Hao said to Xiaomi: "Okay, let's go here today, I'm going back, you can go home and find your mother too."

"Ooooo~~"

"Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow to play with you."

"Ooooo~~"

Supporting the raft to go back, Xiaomi sent them all the way, until they reached the shoal, and Xiaomi turned to leave, so he turned to look at Jiang Hao from time to time, with a reluctant look.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Jiang Hao blew the conch shell.

swoosh~

A figure jumped out and fell from the sea, extremely cheerful, the sea water spread out, and the body of Xiaomi, who was lit by the sunset, seemed to be 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 meet with Xiaomi as usual, took out the conch and blew it with a smile on his face, waiting for the little girl to rush into his arms.

Three minutes passed, and there was no response from the sea.

Ten minutes passed, and Xiaomi did not appear.

Half an hour later, Jiang Hao was anxious, but he still didn't see Xiaomi.

He has blown the conch several times. In the past, the little girl had come to play with him long ago, but he didn't come today.

Not only Xiaomi, Jiang Hao also did not see other dolphins.

He had a bad idea in his heart: "Could it be that something happened to the dolphin group?"

Not likely.

Dolphins are large carnivores and are at the top of the food chain. They live together in groups. Except for the ferocious killer whales, other marine life, including sharks, basically cannot pose too much threat to dolphins.

Even if Xiaomi was in danger, why didn't any of the other dolphins show up.

Jiang Hao blew the conch every few minutes, expecting that little girl to appear, but unfortunately, she 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 grumbling with hunger, but he still didn't want to go back.

"Woooooo~~~"

"Woooooooooooooo~~~"

From time to time, a conch-like whimper could be heard at sea, just like Jiang Hao's mood at the moment.

Throwing down the conch and lying on the edge of the raft, Jiang Hao slapped the surface of the water hard, clap clap, clap clap, and kept shouting, "Xiaomi, little girl, I'm here."

"Xiaomi~~"

The sun was setting west, and Jiang Hao stood alone on the raft. He knew that Xiaomi would not come back. Although he didn't want to believe it, he understood that dolphins were migratory animals. They would chase ocean currents and food groups kept migrating. Xiaomi and his group came here a month ago. Yesterday, the dolphin group should have migrated to other places.

Why was Xiaomi so reluctant to give up yesterday? I'm afraid she already knew that the ethnic group was going to migrate, but she couldn't say it and couldn't tell Jiang Hao, so she kept sending it to the beach.

Back to the island on the raft, and dragged his tired body back to the cave, Jiang Hao didn't eat. Although he didn't eat at noon or at night, he wasn't hungry at all. He just drank a few sips of water and lay down.

Lie down and sleep, maybe Xiaomi will come back tomorrow, their tribe just went to hunt further afield, and will come back tomorrow.

The next day, Jiang Hao got up early, he didn't even go to collect fresh water, which he must do every day, and went directly to the sea on a raft.

But he was disappointed.

For a whole day, Xiaomi did not appear, nor did other dolphins. Jiang Hao was now certain that the dolphin group had indeed migrated away.

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 tomorrow, 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 trembled slightly, the day came, but Jiang Hao didn't get up, he was ill, very ill, he didn't eat and drink yesterday, which made him weak already. His body collapsed all at once, and he now has a high fever.

In a trance, Jiang Hao's mind flashed countless images, Jiu'er, Lili, Zhen Xiaoqiu, and even the figure of the college girlfriend who was already vague in his memory.

He thought of his parents again.

My father was very strong all his life and used all his abilities to support his family. Although the family had limited conditions, he still worked hard to provide education for his three children. The mother was an honest person who worked in the fields and managed the housework, all her life for the children and the family. .

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, even if I won’t regret it if I fail in the future.”

Jiang Hao tried his best to open his eyes and crawled up. He was so weak that he couldn't even support his body. He leaned against the wall and came to the shelf, took off a conch, and drank the water in big gulps. Drink it all.

He picked a dried salted fish from the wall and bit it hard.

The dried fish was a little hard, Jiang Hao chewed it with all his strength and swallowed it. He knew that now he needed to replenish his energy, no matter what, he would eat it.

"Ding~~ I have collected the feeling of "loneliness", please make persistent efforts!"

A system message pops up.

Jiang Hao opened the system panel and looked at the information on it. It 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, sick, and he could only grit his teeth and persevere alone, which made the loneliness value increase so much all of a sudden.

Just a little bit.

Almost there.

Jiang Hao clenched the dried salted fish even harder. He wants to get better. His father is right. When encountering difficulties, giving up is the most inadvisable way. Gritting and persevering 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. All the reserves were used up in the first two days, so he wanted to get as much as possible.

There is still a lot of dried fish, even if he doesn't go into the sea, he can last for two months.

I got a handful of fresh bracken from the woods, made a meal of bracken salted fish porridge, and ate it in big mouthfuls to supplement my body's needs as much as possible.

Just a little bit, he believes it will be done soon.
