Chapter 63 The Wind Rises
In the distance, dark clouds slowly spread out to obscure the sun in the sky, and it looked like a storm was coming.
When a cool breeze hit, the sea began to stir, and I was very happy that I could finally get out of this sea area and the nasty garbage dump.
I immediately set up the simple sails, and the sails moved the raft quickly under the action of the wind, and I was very excited to see this scene, and I really wished that the wind was stronger so that the speed of the raft would be faster.
Sure enough, the wind was getting stronger and the rain was getting heavier, and I was very happy to control the angle of the sail so that he could catch the wind as much as possible.
But I overlooked a very important matter, and that was the strength of my simple sail, when I was happy, a strong wind blew, and my fragile sail was blown up at once, and in an instant it was swept into the air and disappeared.
Looking at the sails swept away by the strong wind, I realized that I was caught in a storm.
I panicked a little, wondering if this little raft could withstand this storm, and if the boat capsized or disintegrated, I wouldn't want to live.
I immediately secured the food and fresh water so that they could not be thrown out in the storm, and then I tied myself to the raft and left myself to fate.
I closed my eyes and clung to the raft, only to feel the sea water hitting me, and the raft swayed up and down with the water.
I didn't have any fear, I thought to myself, let the storm be stronger.
I looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky and shouted loudly: "Come on, this is not enough, if you have the ability, you will kill me, I am not afraid of ,,,,,"
Slowly, my strength was a little exhausted, and the sound of thunder, rain, wind, and waves gradually began to blur in my consciousness until I could not feel anything.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,。
When I woke up again, the sea was calm.
I untied the rope and checked the food and water, and since there was no loss of food and water in the early preparation, I drank some water and went to check the raft for damage.
After some inspection, I found that the raft was not in any serious trouble, but it was loose in many places, and it seemed that it was a blessing that it did not disintegrate, so I fixed it with the rope I had picked up, but I knew in my heart that if I experienced a storm, the raft would probably fall apart.
I drifted at sea for a few more days, and still found no land, let alone a boat.
I began to regret leaving the island in my heart, the chance of being rescued by drifting on the sea is very small, my risky behavior is tantamount to suicide, but thinking about my pain on the island is tantamount to waiting for death, suicide and death are almost the same, there is still a little hope of survival in the sea.
It's all left to fate,,,,,,,,
Another two or three days passed, and I was looking at the sea in a daze with some despair, and suddenly I found a drifting object, and I could tell at a glance that it was a life raft.
The life raft is familiar to me, the orange life raft is very conspicuous, only about one or two hundred meters away from me, I don't know if there is anyone on the life raft, I shouted a few times and no one answered, there is no rational consideration at this time, the only thing I want to do is to go over and see.
At first, I also set up a lottery on my bamboo raft, but then I found that I didn't use it at all, and it was lost in the storm, and now I can't paddle the bamboo raft at all, I can't jump into the water and swim over, it's quite dangerous.
Looking at the life raft I don't know what to do, if there are people on it who can't see death and don't save them, even if there is no one I can scrape the resources inside, and it is a life raft that is much stronger than my bamboo raft, and taking it down can become my life raft.
In desperation, I jumped into the water, grabbed the rope of the bamboo raft and paddled hard with my feet, pushing the bamboo raft closer to the life raft.
The bamboo raft was very heavy, and the sea was very calm, but I still had a lot of effort and time to push the bamboo raft to swim to the side of the life raft, I pulled the life raft to the bamboo raft and tied it with a rope, and finally climbed on the bamboo raft with all my strength.
I lay down on the bamboo raft and took a break and pulled the rain cover off the life raft, and I was shocked by the scene inside.
I saw a man lying sideways in a messy life raft, and it was an unkempt middle-aged foreigner.
The man didn't move, I didn't know whether he was dead or alive, I had the courage to pick up the paddle in the life raft and poke the man, and suddenly the foreigner snorted, although the voice was very weak, but it could prove that he was still alive.
I don't have to think about it to know that this person must have been shipwrecked and drifted for a long time and is dying, and I know this very well.
At this time, the person needs water the most, I immediately took a bottle of water and brought it to his mouth, at this time this person was already in a coma, but the instinct to survive and the desire for water, when I poured water into his mouth, I can only describe him as greedy and crazy to drink water.
I drank two bottles of water in a row, and I knew that it would not be enough to give him ten bottles in this state of extreme hunger and thirst, but one thing I also knew was that people in a state of extreme water shortage should not drink too much water at once, and once they drank too much water, they would cause death.
This is the man who woke up and wanted to drink water, I quickly said: "I can't drink anymore, NO NO NO"
(Since I am not good at English, I can speak no foreign language, and I have replaced it with Chinese in the future conversations with this foreigner)
