Chapter Twenty-Four: The Nameless Island
I have not seen any boats for more than 20 days, and I have experienced several storms, and now I am physically and mentally exhausted, and there is not much water and food left, especially the water stored two days ago has been drunk, and the water now is desalination, in fact, it is fresh water obtained by evaporating seawater, and the pitiful amount is not enough to maintain my minimum intake of water.
But one thing is thankful, my wounds have miraculously healed, and now the wounds are all healed but left with a scar, a big X.
Now I am very weak, my vision is beginning to blur, I am extremely thirsty, but my thinking is very clear, I know very well that I will not need to go on like this" "I will die in a few days, and there are two possibilities in the end.
First, I would keep floating like this, and when I was found, there was only a dried corpse or a rotting corpse left in the life raft.
The second was that the life raft was overturned by the waves, and I sank into the deep sea and became food for the fish.
At this moment I am really desperate, there is no hope, people say that when a person is desperate, he thinks of his family, but my mind is blank, and there seems to be only hunger, thirst and despair in my mind.
I suddenly turned out a can of Coca-Cola in the clutter, which was given to me by Zou Xinyue when he helped me escape from the pirate's lair, I originally planned to drink it after I was rescued, the first few days I really wanted to drink it under hunger and thirst, but I still endured it and didn't drink it, I superstitiously told myself, this can of Coke is a hope and a luck, you must not give up hope to drink it, so that your hope and luck are gone, if you really drink it will bring bad luck to yourself, you will not be saved.
But now I'm really desperate and can't be saved, my body is so weak that I may never be able to open my eyes again, and what am I doing with this can of Coke.
I put the Coke in a plastic bag, tied it with a rope and put it in the seawater, the Coke is still cold and delicious, since I want to drink it for a while, I don't rush to drink it, and I also let me enjoy it at the last moment of my life.
Half an hour later, I pulled the Coke up from the sea, opened it without thinking, and a refreshing feeling began to swim through my throat.
It's cool,,,
I've never been so happy, and I have no regrets about being able to do this before I die.
I drank the last can of Coke and the last resource, and then I put down the shade cloth of the life raft and lay quietly in it waiting to die,,,,,,
My consciousness began to blur, which meant that I was close to death, and suddenly I remembered familiar voices, familiar looks, and they all shouted my name.
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Guan Wang should wake up and eat"
Huo Liang said solemnly: "Guan Wang, you waste knows how to escape"
Daughter Jiajia said: "Dad, you are so bad to talk nonsense, you said that you will take me to the playground to play,,,"
My mother nagged and said, "Guan Wang, don't be too tired from work, pay more attention to your body"
Dad said angrily: "You unfilial thing, do you want to leave? Wake me up quickly."
These words kept coming from my ears, repeating and repeating, and I finally couldn't stand it anymore and opened my eyes violently.
What's going on with me dead?
I opened my eyes and looked around and saw that I was still in the life raft, but I felt that the life raft was not shaking very steadily, I got out of the life raft and looked out, and a dramatic moment happened.
I couldn't believe what I saw, the tall coconut trees, the green bushes, and the white sandy beaches, whether it was heaven or hell.
I got out of the lifeboat and crawled on the beach and found that it was real sand.
I went ashore,,,,
I lay on the beach, I have never felt that the land is so kind, I look up at the sky, the land is under my back, my heart is much more steady, just now I am still dying and struggling with a thread and now I am in a desperate situation, this feeling of ups and downs makes me sigh.
I felt that the kind of person who was struggling on the verge of death suddenly found a glimmer of life, and I was in this mood now, and I got carried away and ran on the beach with joy, and at this moment I felt how beautiful it is to be alive.
I found a few coconuts on the beach, now I am very thirsty, I picked a few fresh green coconuts, I know how to open the coconut, I found a wooden stick to sharpen it, and found a stone, and then used the stone to smash the stick along the handle of the coconut into it, so that it was easy and quick to drink the coconut water, I drank four coconuts in a row, and then I was satisfied to lie down and rest.
I lay on the soft sand under the coconut trees, my heart was so steady, the fear of being in the sea was swept away, and I deeply realized how wonderful it was to live the rest of my life, lying on the land that I had not seen for a long time, watching the white clouds floating in the sky, and the unknown seabirds flying in the clouds, all this was like a dream to me.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed everything like a dream, now I really want to sleep, these days drifting on the sea all day worrying about never sleeping peacefully, today I can finally sleep peacefully, but I dare not sleep and dare not believe that this is true, for fear that when I wake up or on the vast sea.
I staggered to the side of the life raft, and struggled to pull the life raft to the place where the waves could not hit, so that I was not afraid that the life raft would be turned away by the sea.
I looked at the life raft and the rest of the supplies, there was nothing to use at all, and I didn't care so much, now I have to find someone for help.
I looked around and saw no sign of any humans, so I headed inshore in the hope of meeting someone as soon as possible so I could ask for help.
I put on pants full of sea salt, after all, it can't be rude to ask for help, you can't be naked, or you will be in trouble to treat me as a pervert.
I walked inland, and found that the vegetation here was not very dense, and there was not much obstacle to walking, and after walking about four or five hundred meters, I came to a beach again, and in front of me there was an endless sea, I turned around and saw that I was walking in a straight line, and I looked around again, and a sense of foreboding came from my heart.
