Wang Nan and I made up and slept in the small boat for one night. It can be said that this night was really a crime! Because the island was flooded, we had to rest on the boat, but the boat didn’t even have a place to lie down. What’s more serious was: cold!
Originally, we had a fire to keep warm, but the fire was kept in the motor slot at the stern. It was very weak and could not have the effect of heating at all. Moreover, the tropical sea is also very cold at night, especially when the sea breeze blows. It's cold! We all put on that diving suit to keep warm, but it was still freezing enough!
So, I hardly slept this night! On the one hand, I was afraid that the fire would go out and I would fill it with wood from time to time. On the other hand, it was too cold to sleep. After all, we got through to dawn!
When it was just getting light, I found that the sea was already beginning to ebb! I was afraid that the boat would run aground, which would affect our plan of departure, so I hurriedly launched with Wang Nan, pushed the boat to a deeper position, fastened the cable, waited for the sea to recede a lot, and landed ashore.
We finally set foot on the real "land" again, and our hearts have stabilized a lot. Suddenly, I was even shaken, whether I should venture out and go to the southeast.
However, after thinking about it, I still decided that I have to take this risk! ●31 novel app download address●
Immediately afterwards, Wang Nan and I laboriously moved some of the items that were transferred to the boat last night, moved them back to the shore, re-ignited the bonfire, set up distilled water equipment to make fresh water, and then I went back to the sea to catch a lot of fish and cleaned them up. This is to prepare food and water after departure, because we don't necessarily have to float on the sea for how long!
Food is easy to handle, but there are too few tools to store water! Except for one drink bottle, there are two water scoops. And the water scoop is too easy to spill, and the sea bumps are not suitable!
No way, I had to bite the bullet and climb the coconut tree. I got a lot of coconuts back, drank the juice inside, made a small hole, scraped off the coconut paste, and finally made the fresh water. Pour it into the coconut husk and plug the opening with leaves.
Just busy with this, Wang Nan and I spent all morning! However, fortunately, I have prepared a lot of fresh water and fish and other foods. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to stay on the boat for about a week.
At noon, Wang Nan and I had lunch, and then I started making oars again. Those two water scoops can't be used at all, and they definitely won't work without oars! So, I found the thick branches, and tried my best to split the coconut shell from the middle, and then used nails to connect the two thick branches to each other. Only then did I make two simple boat oars!
These two oars look very crude and unsturdy, but they are better than nothing, let's do it right!
When everything is ready, I look at the watch again, it is already 3 o'clock in the afternoon
NS! Must go quickly! You know, if the tide is high, we will have to struggle to leave this atoll! The sea will keep pushing us ashore!
Wang Nan and I carried all the things we prepared onto the ship, and reluctantly looked back at this deserted island. It is true that we must leave here now, but this small island that has only been on for one day gives us a feeling of dependence!
Without this small island, Wang Nan and I still don't know where they are floating, I'm afraid they would have been thirsty and dehydrated! In a sense, this island is our lifesaver!
"Otherwise, let's give this island a name? If we are saved, we will come back one day to see..." Wang Nan suddenly made such a romantic suggestion! I looked at her and thought that Nizi had a big heart. We are not traveling, but in distress. She still feels like this!
However, I don't want to talk about her, in fact, I am the same! After listening to this suggestion, although I thought it was a little bit nonsense at first, but when I thought about it later, I also found it very interesting. Although Wang Nan and I were in distress, we did leave an unforgettable memory here. If we are saved, if we get married in the future, wait until we have children, and wait until we grow old, this memory will accompany us throughout our lives. !
This is indeed a thrilling and romantic memory! I am afraid that most people will never experience it in a lifetime!
However, naming is a weakness for me, so I still ask Wang Nan what he thinks first.
"Well, let's call it Crescent Island! You see it looks like a crescent!" Wang Nan said with a little excitement.
"Well, there are too many places called Crescent Island!" I directly responded.
"It's also..." Wang Nan was a little excited just now, now he became serious and quickly thought of other names.
"Or, call it Xinnan Island, named after our names!" I then put forward an idea.
"No, it sounds like the name of a development zone!" Wang Nan directly denied my suggestion. Indeed, on our side, there is a development zone called "Xinnan Development Zone".
"It's better to call Memories Island! There are memories that we will never forget in our lifetime!" Wang Nan thought for a long time before suddenly proposed such a name!
Not to mention, this coincides with what I thought just now! So he nodded and agreed!
"Goodbye! Memories Island!" Wang Nan yelled at the atoll, looking like it was very sad!
Afterwards, Wang Nan and I were paddling hard together, leaving the shallow water area of this atoll and heading for the southeast.
To say that people are unlucky, drinking cold water makes their teeth stuffy! Soon after we set off, night fell gradually, which could be accompanied by
Coming from the night, there is still a storm!
This tropical weather, I am also served, especially this sea! When we were too thirsty, it didn't rain, but after we went out on a small boat again, it started to rain again! What's even more frightening is that this time with violent storms, the waves are bigger than the last time!
Our small boat bumped up again violently in the rough sea! In the end, I couldn't even tell the direction! What is even more frightening is that the waves that are higher than the waves of the sea seem to overturn our boat every time!
Wang Nan and I held on to the hull tightly, for fear that the boat would capsize again, trying to maintain a balance, nothing else! So in this turbulence, many of the coconut shells and food we prepared for water were lost! The fire remaining in the stern is also completely extinguished!
This time the duration of the storm is very long, a whole night plus one day! The surroundings are bleak and the sun can’t be seen, I don’t even know where the boat is drifting!
In the end, Wang Nan and I survived! The small boat did not capsize again. After the surroundings gradually calmed down, the moon appeared!
I quickly glanced at my watch. It was more than 8 o'clock in the evening. After comparing the position of the moon and the direction of the boat, I found that our boat was floating to the northeast at this time!
At this time, I regret making the decision to venture out to sea. I still did not expect that this sea is even more dangerous than the isolated island! Human beings are still too small in the face of the power of nature!
Most of our stored water was lost in the storm, and our food was almost completely lost. Right now, we are facing a situation where we have neither water to drink nor food to eat, and we are almost in desperation!
The only good thing is that the oars were fixed on the boat by me in advance, and they were not lost. Right now, we can still control our direction, but I don’t know which direction to go now!
When we set off, we should go to the southeast, but now, after experiencing the stormy waves, I have long lost my way. I don’t know where I am. Although I know that the ship is drifting northeast, where is the Paracel Islands? I don't know!
At this moment, I looked very depressed, depressed, my eyes were dim, and my heart was cold.
"Xiaoxin, don't do this, life and death! As long as we are together!" Wang Nan saw that I was in a bad mood and quickly persuaded me.
In fact, Wang Nan's words really comforted me a little bit, but seeing her beautiful face, when I thought that she was about to die because of my mistake, I felt regretful in my heart!
"Xiaoxin! Look! What is that!" When I was depressed and a little self-defeating, Wang Nan suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted! (End of this chapter)
