Exile hell island
There is a beautiful small island country in the South Pacific, with a population of only 10 million. There used to be a strange law that people who committed capital crimes would not be executed, but exiled to an island called Hell Island to die.
Hell Island is far away from other islands. There is an active volcano erupting from time to time in the center of the island, which often spews toxic gases from hot magma. Nothing grows on the island and there is no fresh water. Prisoners in exile can only feed on scallops left on the beach at low tide, stranded sea fish and crabs in sand caves. You can't drink seawater, you can only quench your thirst by rain. But it doesn't rain here all the year round, so many prisoners die of thirst alive. Trying to escape is also a dead end. Swimming is either drowning or feeding sharks.
Although this law is cruel, there is still a glimmer of hope that the government will send people to Hell Island once every ten years. If a prisoner is still alive and willing to repent, the government will forgive his death, take him away from this dead place and release him. However, only a few prisoners can persist until the pardon period.
At the beginning of last century, a young man named Nong Cha was sentenced to exile in Hell Island by the court because he killed a rogue who wanted to insult his girlfriend by mistake. This morning, under the escort of the police, Nong Cha and other 100 exiles lined up on the wheels of the prison. The escort officer Bent, a big man with a cold face, said to the prisoners, "Take one last look here. You may never come back. "
Just as the prisoners were depressed, suddenly a group of people ran to the shore, crying and waving to the prisoners. It turns out that the prisoner's family came to see him off. At this time, Nong saw his girlfriend Mannia mixed in the crowd. She shouted, "Dear Nong Cha, you must grit your teeth and hold on. I will always wait for you to come back to me. " The farmer's tea burst into tears and looked at the land that was drifting away. He secretly swore: I must insist on coming back alive to see Mannia.
After the prisoners were transported to hell island, the prisoners left a little material and left. Before leaving, the escort officer Bent said coldly, "I hope God will bless you. I will come here again in ten years to see one or two living people who can breathe. " The prisoners cursed loudly, and then they began to scramble for those poor materials. Besides murderers, there are also hooligans, thieves and fraudsters. In order to survive, they began to fight from the first day on the island. A murderer named Locke is the most overbearing. He brought in a dozen powerful prisoners to form a gang, occupied the best beach on the island and the only puddle where fresh water could accumulate when it rained, and drove others to the barren land under the crater. Some prisoners argued with him and their arms were broken.
The farmer gnashed his teeth with anger, and a timid prisoner suggested, "Let's go and beg Locke. Maybe he can pity us and give us some water and food. " Someone waved his fist and said, "You idiot, even your own brother won't give you a drop of water and a piece of meat here!" " Everyone quarreled endlessly. At this point, the farmer stamped his foot and said, "Even if we quarrel for three days, beef and fresh water will not fall from the sky. "
When people asked him what to do, Nong Cha looked at Locke and his gang who were triumphantly eating scallops on the beach from a distance, and his heart moved. He told everyone that there are only a dozen Locke people, and there are 70 or 80, which is several times that of them. Why should we be afraid of them? As long as we stick together and stop Locke first, the mob will break up.
In the face of difficulties, people are eager for people who can give advice, so they all obey the arrangement of agricultural investigation. In the evening, while Luo and his gang were asleep, Nong Cha quietly put Luo's sentry down as planned, then put it on and tied it firmly with the rope torn by the prison clothes. Locke saw that he had been attacked by surprise and cursed angrily: "You bastards, don't you want to live?"
"I think you don't want to live." Nongcha stuffed sand into Luo's mouth and said to Luo's men, "Are you willing to surrender? If you surrender, you will be given water and food; If you don't surrender, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks. " Those hooligans are all swing, and when they see Luo fall, they all desperately shout "surrender". Locke rolled his eyes in anger, but he was helpless and finally had to give up.
Enemy of death
Nongcha knows that in this hellish place, infighting means death. If you want to live a long ten years, you can only unite. By subduing Luo, the prestige of the farmer increased greatly, so he used his prestige to command the prisoners.
He first found five loyal and credible people to form a "guard", responsible for protecting the only fresh water pit, and no one can take water without permission. After that, ten hard-working people were hired to go to the seaside to dig crabs and pick scallops for everyone every day, and the food was distributed fairly. The rest of the people took some tools left by the escorts when they left, and dug reservoirs and caves to shelter everyone from the wind and rain. Those prisoners were obedient at first, but gradually they showed their true colors, and lazy fighting happened from time to time. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Nong found several strongmen who trusted him to set up a "police station", and also made a rule that anyone who violated the rules would be beaten by the "police" and punished for not drinking water for three days.
With the rules and regulations, prisoners are really much more honest. At first, Locke, who lost power, was not convinced. He secretly provoked some people, encouraged them to complain, and complained that agricultural tea used them as coolies. As a result, he was severely punished by the "police" before he obeyed.
Once exiles were pardoned after less than ten years, all because they were not convinced of each other and were eliminated one by one by the harsh natural environment. Now, under the guidance of Nongcha, and with the concerted efforts of Qixin Qi Xin, warships have overcome disasters such as volcanoes and tsunamis and begun to take root on the island.
A year later, everyone lived in a spacious and comfortable cave. God blessed them with several heavy rains, so that the reservoir they dug was full of fresh water and they no longer had to worry about drinking water. Now that we have food, drink, shelter and transportation, everyone is beginning to wonder how to pass the time. Later, some people caught a few seabirds. Bird meat was a rich food for everyone, and bird hair was wrapped around shark skin to make balls. Several football teams have been set up on the island, and playing football in their spare time has become everyone's entertainment.
Three years later, except one prisoner who died of pneumonia, everyone miraculously survived. Nongcha was unanimously affirmed by everyone and became the most authoritative person on the island. On this day, a prisoner accidentally caught some slender plants from the water while digging clams, which turned out to be wild mangrove-like seeds. At that time, everyone collected the little soil on the island and planted mangrove seeds. Soon, the seeds germinated. Looking at the long-lost little green, the men who had done all the bad things on the island hugged and shouted with excitement.
One volcanic eruption was particularly violent, which not only destroyed the reservoir, but also caused fish and shrimp to be washed away by magma flowing into the sea. The hard-planted red saplings were also swallowed up by fiery volcanic ash, and the island was a mess. When everything calmed down, everyone was extremely depressed. In order to cheer everyone up, Nong Cha called everyone together and said with bright eyes, "Cheer up, I know many of you are full of despair, thinking that we can't live without water and food. Pray quickly, maybe God will be merciful and suddenly jump out of the clouds to bring candy, cigarettes and barbecue to everyone, right? "
Everyone laughed, and Nong Cha's face sank: "But I want to tell you, it's daydreaming! We are still alive on the island by our own efforts and sweat. If we only knew how to pray and cry, we would have become a pile of bones. Think about our relatives waiting for us in our hometown, they are still waiting for us to go back! "
Making tea lets everyone carve the names of their loved ones on the stones on the beach, and then swear by the names, no matter how difficult it is, we must stick to it. This greatly boosted the morale of the people. They dug the reservoir again and dug a new cave. Although this period was hard before, everyone worked hard. As soon as someone was so desperate that he couldn't bear it, Nong Cha took him to the stone with the names of his relatives engraved on it, reminding him that there were still relatives waiting for him in the distance. . . . .
Desperate betrayal
As the days passed, the ten-year exile period came.
On this day, everyone plays football on the beach. Suddenly someone pointed to the sea and shouted, "Look, a boat!" " "I saw a ship coming to the island from a distance. Everyone cheered, hugged each other and cried. Their bitter days finally ended. After the ship broke down, a speedboat was lowered. When the speedboat drove to the island, a tall officer jumped down, followed by several armed soldiers.
Everyone gathered around excitedly, and the farmer recognized that this tall officer was Bent who escorted them ten years ago. So he asked, "Mr. Bent, we meet again. Did the government send you to pick us up? " Bent also recognized Nong Cha, but he shook his head coldly: "I'm not here to clean you up, and you can never go back."
What? Everyone was shocked, then became furious and questioned Bent. Bent sighed and explained that not long ago, a coup broke out in China. The rebels overthrew the government and seized power. Later, the rebels introduced a new policy, that is, prisoners exiled to hell island will never be allowed to be pardoned! "I can't help it. We were also kicked out. If we don't overthrow the rebel regime, neither you nor I can go back. " Bent said.
Everyone was angry and cursed the rebels in the most vicious language. At this time, Nong Cha was very calm. He asked Bent the purpose of coming here. Bent told him that his ship happened to pass by here, but he was still alive ten years later. Bent said, "My army is very small now. I want you to join me. How about we unite to overthrow the evil new government? "
Lennon found out that Bent had come to win over the troops. Now if he doesn't join hands with him, they will never go back. After much deliberation, the prisoners decided to join Bent's army. So Bent unloaded a large number of weapons from the ship, armed prisoners, and based on Hell Island, began to train prisoners how to shoot, fight, blast and various tactics. After hard training, the prisoners soon developed excellent martial arts and accurate marksmanship. Now I realize that I am fully capable of becoming a qualified policeman or soldier without being a thief, lying or being a thief before.
That night, Bent called everyone together. He said that in order to test everyone's skills, everyone was asked to perform the first task, which was to destroy a radar station on an unknown island. At midnight, they were quietly transported to the vicinity of the island. Under the guidance of Nong Cha, everyone sneaked into the island, killed the guards first, and immediately retreated after burying explosives under the radar station. There was a loud noise and the radar stood in the ruins. Bent was very satisfied with their performance, and then gave everyone one new task after another, and everyone completed the task brilliantly in order to go home as soon as possible.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and Nong Cha and them have become battle-hardened soldiers. Half the prisoners died in the battle. Once, they were ordered to capture an island. Unexpectedly, the resistance on the island was so strong that everyone was forced to use heavy artillery to bomb. At that time, the island was in flames. Who knows, after occupying the island, Nong Cha was surprised to find that all the people guarding the island were old people, women and even teenagers. Nong Chamon, are these people rebels?
Right here, a gunshot and a soldier fell to the ground. "No, there are people alive!" Everyone fell down at once, while the living rebels hid in the Woods, with accurate shooting and deadly guns. Nongcha was very angry and ordered everyone to spread out around, while he rushed into the Woods with a gun. He wanted to avenge his dead brother. The rebels were so cunning that it took a long time to find the figure of the man after making tea. He fired without hesitation, and the rebels fell to the ground.
Nongcha went to check, but when he saw the man's face clearly, his brain exploded and he stayed where he was. The rebel turned out to be a woman, and this woman is the girlfriend Mennie whom Nongcha has not seen for more than ten years. "Oh, my God-"Nongcha knelt on the ground and picked up Minnie, crying bitterly. He really doesn't understand, how can Minnie be a rebel? And so many women and children on the island are rebels?
Other prisoners became suspicious, so they searched the whole island and finally found an old woman who was still alive. Everyone was stunned by the truth when asked. It turns out that Bent lied to them.
A few years ago, World War II broke out, followed by the Pacific War, and the country was occupied by Japanese fascists. Some of them surrendered and established a puppet government, becoming the running dogs of Japan; Others were exiled to different islands. At that time, he wanted to go to hell island to find guerrillas, but he met a prisoner who was still alive, so he had a vicious idea: to use prisoners to help him destroy guerrillas. Ignorant farmers investigated them and unconsciously became Bent's accomplices.
"Bent that fucking liar! I want to kill him! " Nongcha has a gun and won't shout. Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, Bent's smug laughter sounded behind him: "You have no chance now." Everyone turned around and saw rows of dark guns surrounded them. Nong Chahong rushed to hit him, but was held down by several soldiers. Bent scanned the prisoners coldly: "If you want to live, be loyal to me, and I will treat you as real soldiers and give you an official position;" If you don't want me, I won't force it. I will send you back to Hell Island, where you will live for the rest of your life. "
The prisoners were silent. At the thought of the cruel environment on hell island, everyone was terrified and couldn't help but bow their heads and walk to Bent's side. Only one person didn't move. It is strong tea. Nongcha picked up Mannia's body, which she personally killed, and said painfully, "Send me back to Hell Island. I was abandoned by the country twice, and now I am a person without a country. "
Looking for heaven in hell
Soon, Nongcha was sent back to Hell Island alone. He buried the door on the most beautiful beach and began his exile. A few years later, Japan surrendered and the Pacific War ended. When the puppet regime of the island country collapsed and Bent was executed by the government, people thought of Nongcha. The new government decided to abolish the criminal law of exile and take back the agricultural jobs. Unexpectedly, Nong Cha refused to come back. He smiled and said, "This is my home now. Only here will I not be abandoned by my own country. I want to build a country with only one person. "
People think he is crazy, but they have to respect his wishes. Later, agricultural tea began a long construction work with machines and tools donated by people. He drove a bulldozer to clean up the island, and then dug a simple cave, which was named government building, school, hospital and hotel. . . . . . Beautiful palm trees and coconut trees were planted everywhere, and soon, green microcomputers appeared on the island. Then he opened up a large area of land, built a monument and engraved the names of all the people who died in the war. In front of the humble "government building", the farmer personally designed his own national flag, and every day after that, he would raise the national flag to the top of the pole.
In a blink of an eye, many years have passed and Hell Island has been forgotten. Once, a foreign ship passed by here occasionally, and the sailors were surprised to find that this island country was full of vitality, but only one nation lived here. After this strange thing spread, Hell Island suddenly became the focus, and tourists from all over the world came here to see the only country with only one person in the world.
At this time, Nong Cha was already an old man with a bent back and gray hair, but he still insisted on raising and lowering the national flag every day. Renla was puzzled and couldn't help asking him: "There are no women and children in your country, that is, there is no future and no hope. Why do you still live here alone? "
Nongcha did not give an answer.
At the beginning of this century, Nongcha, the only citizen of the island country, died. According to his last wish, he was buried next to his girlfriend Mennie's grave, and the epitaph that Nongcha carved on the tombstone before his death also revealed the secret of Nongcha's isolated island in recent years.
The epitaph says: the most painful thing for a person is to be abandoned by his own country, which is like a child losing his parents and home. However, no matter how small a country is, even if it loses its women and children, even if there is only one person left, it will never disappear on the map of the world as long as it persists in its heart.
Many people were moved. Some volunteers came to the island and took turns to help the dead farmers raise and lower the national flag every day. Later, someone set up a statue of agricultural tea in the middle of the island, and this line was engraved under the statue seat:
He is the only president, official, teacher, doctor, driver, architect and diplomat in this country. . . . . . Although he was the only one, he defended the dignity of a country.
