Chapter 21: Drifting on the Sea
The woman said very calmly: "You don't have to say anything, just listen to me, I was from the Northeast two years ago and was bought by pirates for their fun, I escaped many times and was captured by them, and these pirates are very inhumane and often bring back some people to torture them, no water or food, very few people live for three days, and you don't want to leave alive." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you save me?"
The woman smiled: "Because you are Chinese"
I was very proud and glad to hear this, but this is not the time to feel emotional, so let's think about how to escape.
"This is the sea, how can you save me"
The woman said, "Then it's up to you."
After speaking, the woman pointed to the life raft on the side of the ship and said, "It's up to them, these life rafts are all stolen by pirates, and some of them are made in China, so you can use this life raft to escape."
I thought that I would have to rely on a life raft to escape at sea, so I looked at the woman and said, "You can run away with me."
The woman smiled coldly: "What's the point of living like this now, besides, once you escape and drift on the sea, you can be rescued, if no one finds out, you will die, and I can still live on the boat, but you are different, you will definitely die on the boat, there may be a glimmer of life in the sea, you will choose that"
Of course, I chose to escape, even if I was drifting on the sea, no one would find out, and I wouldn't wait here to die.
I didn't say a word and chose a life raft with Chinese, untied the fixed rope and carefully placed it in the sea, but there was still a noise when it fell, but fortunately the pirates slept dead and did not notice.
At this time, the woman took out a waterproof plastic bag with something in it and handed it to me and said, "There is some food and water in it, and a letter, if you are rescued, give the letter to my family"
I nodded and looked at the woman and said, "As long as I live, I will definitely deliver the letter to your family, by the way, what is your name." ”
The woman cried and said, "My name is Zou Xinyue, please."
At this time, I didn't say much, when I slipped down the side of the boat for fear of making a loud noise to alarm the pirates, I didn't dare to open the life raft immediately in the water, because the life raft would be very loud when it opened, so I held the life raft and swam hard, and then the wound on the chest in the sea water encountered the salt water very painful, I endured swimming more than 100 meters, I couldn't swim, the life raft also sank into the water, I had to pull the rope of the life raft to open the life raft.
Bang,,,,, sneer,,snort
The life raft was soon unfurled, I threw the package into the life raft and then climbed into it with all my might, found the oars and paddled desperately, rowing until I was exhausted, and looked backwards to see that there was no shadow of the pirate ship, and then I fell asleep in the life raft with confidence.
I don't know how long I slept I was woken up by the heat, as soon as I woke up, I felt that the life raft was very hot inside, I quickly lifted the tarpaulin to ventilate a little better, I poked my head out to observe, only to see that there was nothing but sea water around, only the hot sun in the sky, after a night of drifting I don't know where it is now, now I feel very thirsty, in the package I found a bottle of water, I picked it up and drank it all.
Next, I found the rafting manual, followed the instructions above, cut the cable with a knife, and installed the radar reflector, which said that it could reflect radar waves to increase the chance of being rescued.
There are also rain collection devices and freshwater generators, which are actually a device for seawater evaporation, and the output of freshwater should not be very much.
According to the manual, I put the sea anchor into the water, and then obviously felt that the life raft was moving, indicating that the sea anchor is to use the ocean current to pull the life raft to travel at least two or three nautical miles per hour, I thought to myself that I can travel two or three nautical miles an hour, but how to judge the direction, what if I go farther away from the land, thinking of this, I smiled helplessly, and now I still care so much?
After that, I counted my resources, four rocket flares, eight smoke grenades, reflectors, these are all tools for calling for help, and when a ship passes by, I rely on these things to call for help.
I counted the water and food, the most important thing right now, how many of them determined how long I would survive, and I hoped to be rescued soon.
This life raft is a six-person life raft made in China, and the food and water in it can last six people for a week, of course, the food must be used in strict accordance with the norms, otherwise it will not last long.
In addition to the food that Zou Xinyue gave me, two bottles of 800 ml of water, four loaves of bread can have 1,000 grams, and a can of Coca-Cola, these food and water are enough for me to use for 40 days, but I believe that I will soon be found by passing cargo ships and fishing boats, and it will not take long to be rescued.
I've sorted out and counted all the equipment and food, and now it's time to take care of the wound, otherwise the infection will be in trouble.
Fortunately, there were a few medicine bags on the life raft, I saw that the wound was no longer bleeding, but the wound was still very painful, although the knife was not very deep but not light, the full 30 cm two crossed gaps were like a big X shocking, I secretly scolded these pirates are really fucking ruthless, they are simply not human.
It stands to reason that the wound should be sutured with a needle after disinfection, but there are no needles and sutures in the first aid kit, looking at the flesh and blood that is turned out, I have to use leak-proof tape to barely stick the strength to make the wound smaller, which is conducive to the healing of the wound, I am a layman to treat the wound, and then lie in the life raft, now all I can do is hope that a boat will pass by.
Actually, I'm an optimist, although I'm in danger now, and I don't know when I'll be rescued, but I don't think much about it but I'm very calm, and my heart is like the sea is calm now, so I don't have the heart to sing it.
The sea,,, the sea,,,
You are my hometown,,,,,,
If the sea can replace the sorrow of the past, let him drift with the wind,,,,,,
