Chapter 65: Finally Seeing Family

Johnson and I went to the shower by the Lucas crew, but we were separated.

When I came to the bathroom, I found that the crew was very thoughtful, and prepared all the toiletries and placed them neatly on the bathing table.

Although the bathroom is not big, it has all the facilities, white steel shower shower, melamine bathtub, heated bath bomb, this is the product of modern civilization, I haven't enjoyed these for a long time.

I took off my only very tattered pants and walked in front of the mirror, and when I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but be startled, am I still in the mirror?

I saw that my face was covered with dirt and fluffy long hair hanging down my cheeks, my curly and yellow beard was also covered with gills, a large X-shaped scar on my chest, my body was a little emaciated, my skin was dark but very strong, and at first glance I looked like a dead body and a ghost, no wonder Johnson and the crew of the Lucas looked surprised when they first saw me.

I turned on the faucet to adjust the water temperature to the right temperature, and then I closed my eyes and stood under the shower to enjoy the happiness I had not felt in a long time.

I turned my body under the shower shower, letting the water rush all over my body, as if I had been baptized, letting the pure water wash every part of my body, and cleanse the dirt on my body and the haze in my heart for the past seven years.

I washed, flushed, soaked, rubbed until I thought I was clean before I came out of the bathroom, brushed my teeth again, straightened my hair, shaved my beard and put on the clothes prepared by the crew.

I stood in front of everyone with a new look, and everyone was amazed and embarrassed when they saw my current appearance, followed by cheers and applause.

Looking at the crew's happy expressions, it became clear to me that I was truly back in civilization.

I'm already shouting in my heart,,,,,,

Family and loved ones from afar!!!

I'm going to be back with you soon,,,,,,

The Lucas's onboard doctor examined me and found that my lungs were in serious pain, but there was no better way on board, he just gave me some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and advised me to go to the hospital for further examination as soon as I went ashore.

During this period, Zhang Yu told me that Johnson, who was rescued by me, was not an ordinary person, he was a well-known capitalist, philanthropist, adventurer, novelist in Australia, and an out-and-out rich man.

The Lucas had two or three days to dock, and Johnson offered to arrange for a helicopter to pick us both up and arrange for me to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, but I didn't agree, I meant that it was now approaching the New Year, and I was going to spend it with the crew of the Lucas as a token of gratitude.

In the end, Johnson also stayed to celebrate 2020.

On New Year's Day, I went to the kitchen to help, and at the same time made a specialty dish pork chop rice, and they actually made my whale jerky into a dish, and everyone was full of praise after eating it, especially Zhang Yu said that he felt the taste of hometown after eating my pork chop rice.

The enthusiastic crew gave Johnson and me a lot of small gifts, and we were very touched by the two of us, and I also had gifts for the crew.

When I was rescued, the crew also pulled the dried meat on the raft and the sperm whale teeth on the boat, which was also very coincidental, the Lucas had a total of 17 crew members, and my sperm whale teeth were exactly 17, so I gave each of them 17 sperm whale teeth as a souvenir, regardless of size.

Eventually, I gave Johnson the fist-sized stone from the sperm whale's brain, and I told him it was probably ambergris, much to Johnson's delight.

All in all, this New Year is a great one, and after seven years, I finally experience the joy of the New Year again.

On January 2, 2020, I finally set foot on the Australian mainland, and as soon as I got off the boat, I was overwhelmed with reporters and flashing lights.

As early as the captain of the Lucas, he contacted the relevant departments through a satellite phone, and the news of Johnson's rescue had been known by major media a few days ago, because Johnson could be said to be a celebrity in Australia, and the news of his rescue was a big news, so the major media had long surrounded the port.

And I was completely ignored,,,,,

Some men, women and children appeared in the crowd, and when they saw Johnson leaning forward and hugging, it seemed that these people were Johnson's family, how could the reporter give up such a touching picture, and there was a dense flash of lights.

Seeing this scene, I am very envious and very much looking forward to it, if my family sees me after a long absence, I must be the same scene.

These reporters are like rats who see how cheese can be spared, and the reporters rush up to Johnson and ask all kinds of questions.

I wanted to get out of here, but Johnson walked up to me, pointed at me and said to the reporter: "In addition to thanking God, I also want to thank a man who saved me from my death, he is the angel God sent to me, he is my benefactor, he is my friend, my brother, and he lived alone on a desert island for seven years, and seven years later, when my life was hanging by a thread, fate arranged for us to come together, not ,,, drifted together, it was all fate." ”

The reporters listened to Johnson's words and looked at me, their eyes lit up, and all of a sudden the long guns and short guns were aimed at me, and all kinds of questions swirled in my ears, and I couldn't understand what they were saying.

Maybe it's been seven years of living alone, and suddenly there are so many unfamiliar faces, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, both mentally and physically.

I felt the writhing crowd make me dizzy, the sound of people interrogating me like thunder ringing in my ears, and I feel like the whole world is spinning.

Faster and faster, faster and faster,,,,

All of a sudden, everything stopped disappearing, everything around me was white and there was nothing, and then I didn't know anything.
