This idea is more boring than evil. I suggest that you count the scales of the fish, that is, pull off the scales of the fish one by one, and see who finishes the count first, even if he wins. In the vast sea, it can only be so boring. In this way, we spent three or four long days. The depression of Xiaoxiao was much better, and suddenly she stared at the sea water carefully, and her face suddenly showed a smile. I'm surprised, don't you need such a big contrast
This kind of seemingly boring thing actually makes a lot of sense. For example, counting sheep before going to bed. It is to use the illusion produced by people's fatigue from repetitive events.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a widow in Jixi, Anhui. She was a model of local chastity. She was married to her husband for a few years and died without a child. She remained a widow for thirty years, and finally became a local celebrity with her chastity.
The widow became seriously ill later. Her sister-in-law went to see her and asked before the sick bed: "You have been a widow for so many years. Fortunately, you can win honor for the local people and you can be considered as a name for future generations."
The widow smiled bitterly, pointed to a small pot on the bedside, and motioned to her sister-in-law to bring it over. The sister-in-law was clasped in her hand. Although it was not big, it was very heavy. When she opened it, she looked at it. There were black beans inside, dry and shriveled, and she looked old.
The widow said: "I have survived this pot of beans all these years."
Seeing the bewildered expression of my sister-in-law, the widow said, "I almost couldn't make it through many nights. At these times, I opened the jar and sprinkled the beans on the ground. Then I turned on the light and picked up all the beans on the ground. In the end, I picked up all the beans, and I was too tired, so I went to bed."
Suddenly, the sister-in-law, the widow used this jar of beans in exchange for the archway gifted by the court.
So I thought of this story, and planned to count the scales of the fish during the boring time, so as to survive loneliness and loneliness.
In this way, with this boring act, we floated for another three days...
"Haha! We left the deep sea area. Look at the shallow sea here, which means that there are islands nearby!" She smiled and pointed to the sea, not finished. Sure enough, I could see not far away, many seabirds flew up, catching fish and shrimps in the sea in groups.
The presence of seabirds means that there are islands within a hundred kilometers, or even inhabited islands. If that is the case, we are considered saved. This made us even more excited, suddenly refreshed, and recovered a lot.
At this time a bird flew over and landed on our ship. Seeing the small bowl swooped violently, the bird was caught. She played with it for a long time, and actually killed the bird. I propose to eat the birds. After all, I have eaten raw fish for too many days. I am a little bored. I can use this to improve my life.
This bird is the size of a grouse, and I tore off the skin of the bird with a dagger. The meat was finely chopped and grilled for a long time under the sun. It's just eaten raw, one bite by one person. Although it hasn't been cooked by the chef, it tastes too delicious. Let me feast on it. To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious bird meat. It is many times more delicious than Quanjude in Beijing.
When we were still reminiscing about the food, a thick cloud rolled over, blocking the scorching sun, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the tide was surging more and more, the sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and occasionally flashes of lightning appeared between the clouds. It seemed that a storm was about to come. It is not a trivial matter to encounter a storm at sea.
"Xiao Xia, this is a sign of a heavy rain. Judging from my experience, this must be a headwind. You need to take the sails down, and the speed must be fast!" Smiled and looked at the dark clouds in the distance with a serious expression.
As a senior seaman, she is very experienced in such storms. Although this sea area is not a deep sea area, there will be big waves when there is a little wind. The biggest advantage of this kind of lifeboat is that it can withstand wind and waves.
I followed Xiaoxiao's instructions and put the sails away. And built a temporary shelter at the stern of the ship with oilcloth. It's getting darker and darker outside. I asked and smiled: "The storm is coming, how are you preparing, is it no surprise?" She nodded and said, "I can eat it! Later, no matter what, I must hold the ship's side firmly!" Me and Xiaowan Nodded. Just wait for the storm to come.
Rumble! !
The thunder in the sky is getting closer and closer, from the previous muffled thunder to the thunder. It is obviously daytime, but the sky is gloomy in just a few minutes. Xiaoxiao's brows frowned even more, and the storm made her feel gloomy for no reason. I followed the look in meditation.
People on the mainland or islands will not panic even if they encounter the big storm. That kind of down-to-earth feeling, it's a big deal, it's completely impossible for people who haven't stayed at sea to understand. And there is a vast ocean all around, as long as there is a wind and waves, it is possible to overturn the ship.
We drifted at sea for about ten days, from deep sea to shallow sea, the ship has been damaged in many places. I am worried that if this continues, the ship may be completely destroyed, and then we will have to be completely buried in the belly of the fish and completely wiped from the world.
"Little bowl, suppose the boat capsizes, what are you going to do?" Little bowl will not live or die, and the sea will not drown her, but now she can only be like a normal person. If she is eaten by a fish, she will be ruined. , And it’s worse than us, the souls are scattered, at least we can be reincarnated.
Xiaowan smiled, did not speak, staring at me for a daze.
Huh! !
Snap! Snap!
I could only hear the violent impact of water droplets on the tarpaulin. In the midst of thunder, heavy raindrops fell from the sky, and the dry deck was instantly wet. Suddenly, a storm came with this shower. The ship was violently turbulent, and the waves rolled up several meters high. The whole ship was constantly up and down along with the waves, shaking like a drunk person, and it made us vomit.
Rumble!
The dark sky of the windows was illuminated, and the thunder sounded, but gradually the huge thunder was completely covered by the waves. The sea water poured into the cabin, and was bumped out of the cabin by the waves. The whole hull shook violently, and we swayed, rowing around in the cabin. Nima's, don't say it's scary! It's worse than that roller coaster!
"Brother Xiaoxia, shall we be okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a torrential rain!" Although I said this, I didn't know what to do. Days of wandering made us very tired, and it's hard to say if there is nothing to do.
As the storm got bigger and bigger, Xiaowan and Xiaoxiao had to work hard to scoop out the water in the cabin. I had to hold on to the tarpaulin to prevent it from being blown away. Every time the tide rolled, I struggled more and more.
The night was dark, the wind was heavy and rainy, and the small kayaks were wobbly on the huge sea.
I don't know how long it took, but the storm still didn't mean to stop. We can also see each other's faces clearly, and the voices of speech can also be faintly heard. Now, even if they face each other, even Xiaowan and Xiaoxiao screamed their throats, I can't really hear what they are talking about.
The lifeboat drove hard in the wind and rain. Although the small bowls and smiles were constantly scooping water, it didn’t help. Because the rain was getting bigger and bigger, the water in the boat was getting more and more. Sank. In addition to the waves hitting, there was a large amount of sea pouring in, and the scooping was timely there.
In the vast deep sea, if the ship sinks at this time, the consequences can be imagined.
"Quick! Quickly wear a life jacket!" Our life jackets have never been discarded. Firstly, they can keep warm, and secondly, they can barely support for a while when encountering special circumstances. I made gestures and told them to stop scooping water.
They nodded, indicating that they had no choice but to do so. Smiled and said: "This weather, floating in the sea, we will definitely disperse. It is best to tie a rope together and jump into the sea together!" Indeed, if you go with the ocean current, you will hit the reef if you are unlucky, or If you are buried in a fish belly, many people always have more strength.
I fastened my body and tied it around everyone's waist. Smiled and saw that we were ready, and shouted anxiously, "This boat is going to sink. If we don't dive in time, we will be taken into the whirlpool. I shouted three, let's jump together!"
"one two Three… "
The three of us jumped into the sea at the same time and did not swim out a few steps. The ship squeaked and broke into two pieces. The bow and stern of the ship rose up. After a while, it hit the whirlpool and sank into the sea without a shadow. Without a trace.
Not long after the ship sank, a big wave came up, and only a little tarp and sails finally sank to the bottom. The three of us held each other tightly, frightened and frightened.
However, the matter is far from over. A huge wave slapped in, pushing Xiaowan and Xiaoxiao to the front. In an instant, the back wave rolled again, and the two of them disappeared without a trace.
I wanted to step forward and catch them both, but it was a pity that the wind and waves were too great. Inadvertently, a huge wave hit, and a wooden stick was in the wave, knocking me out. I just felt that my eyes were dark, and the whole person passed out in a coma.
