Chapter 53: Rebirth

I'm still alive, really alive?!

A question immediately echoed in my mind, I should have died but why am I still alive, I subconsciously looked at the turtle in front of me, and found that this turtle I seem to have seen, this turtle seems to be which one I have rescued.

It occurred to me that it was this turtle that saved me, and while the idea was a little amazing and even neurotic, what better explanation could there be, and I wouldn't be even more crazy to think that God and God saved my life.

At this moment, my mood is very complicated, I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy, my heart should be more helpless, in short, for people who have experienced death and come back to life in a daze, their hearts should be "weird" at most

I came up to the turtle and said, "Thank you very much, but you shouldn't have saved me, because I really don't know how to live next." ”

I have just experienced the process of going from life to death and from death to life, and although I can't tell you exactly how it feels, one thing is clear to me: if a person really dies, nothing exists.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, joy, anger and sorrow, in short, everything is not perceptible and cannot be experienced, everything disappears and returns to endless nothingness.

After the experience of life and death, I know that death is not liberation, but everything is reduced to nothingness and disappears, and even the most basic perception has no liberation,,,,

In short, I don't want to use death to get rid of it, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that it's pointless to give up life.

Someone once said that a person dies when he is forgotten, and I've been living alone on a desert island for five years, and I don't know how many people who know me well will remember me.

But I know that there must be people in my distant hometown who are worried about me, because deep down I am also thinking about them, but in order to survive on a desert island, I deceived myself, forced myself to forget my family and friends, and let myself just live simply.

This kind of life without spiritual sustenance is like a walking corpse, now I can no longer live like a dead corpse when I come back from the dead, I have to face the thoughts and concerns in my heart calmly, no matter what I want to experience next, I will try to live.

Because only by being alive can we perceive and experience everything in life!

At this time, I was very calm in my heart, let go of all the unhappiness and gloom, and the next step was the beginning of my new life.

Although I had the motivation to survive, the environment and conditions for survival were still not optimistic, and after the storm, almost all my belongings were destroyed, and only two cisterns remained.

Seeing that there were only a few stakes left in the destroyed hut, I searched to see if there was anything left usable.

Luckily, I found a stone axe, a stone hammer, two foam knives, and a gas cylinder to distill seawater.

But these are not the most important things, the important thing is the lighter used to make the fire, if the lighter is lost, it will be a little troublesome to take the fire, but I am still lucky that after careful search, I found the lighter, and I am very relieved.

In addition to these living tools, there is one more thing I want to find, and that is the letter that Zou Xinyue gave me, which is also very important to me.

Zou Xinyue rescued me from the pirate's lair and asked me to bring a letter home to her parents, but the funny thing is that five years later, I still haven't fulfilled my promise and am still trapped on this island.

After some searching, I came to Zou Xinyue's letter, but unfortunately the letter was soaked in water and turned into a lump of paper.

Looking at the paper lump in my hand, my heart was very helpless, and I was very sorry for Zou Xinyue, and I couldn't fulfill my promise to her.

But I suddenly thought about how I could fulfill my promise when I was trapped on this small island, and I peeked at Zou Xinyue's letter out of curiosity, although I could vaguely remember that Zou Xinyue was from Liaoning in Northeast China for a long time, and I forgot the specific location.

However, if I return to the real society, I don't think it will be difficult to find Zou Xinyue's family, and I feel a little comforted when I think of this.

These are the only things I've built over the years, and it looks like I'm going to have to start all over again if I want to survive.

I made a plan for myself not to worry about fresh water first, because the two reservoirs, one large and one small, were filled with fresh water, and I didn't have to worry about fresh water for the next period of time.

Now it's mainly a matter of food, as the fishing cages and hooks were lost during the storm, and there is also the problem of housing.

Luckily, this is a tropical place where you can build a hut to keep out the rain, so I temporarily built a simple hut next to the cistern and waited until everything was in place to build a sturdy shelter.

Food is my most pressing issue right now, and although there is no shortage of food on the island, I have to do it myself or I will starve.

I've lived on this island for five years, which has more or less destroyed the island's ecology, and now it's not as easy to get food as it was when I first came to the island.

I spend a lot of time every day gathering food to keep myself fed, and sometimes I go hungry, and now I have to dive a lot to get enough food.

But to my relief, the turtle often roams around me and even helps me catch fish when I go diving.

I can't believe that I helped the turtle clean up the parasitic shellfish on his body, and the turtle reciprocated me by saving my life, and now that the turtle has become my companion, I no longer feel lost and lonely.

The big turtle is really spiritual, he often climbs ashore to accompany me, we are like friends who can't do without anyone, one man and one beast bond each other, I myself feel very magical, this will definitely become a sensational time news in real life.

With years of survival experience, I quickly rebuilt my world.

I fired some lime, built the walls with volcanic rock and lime, made the roof out of split bamboo halves, and built a trapezoidal hut with an inner diameter of about two meters wide and three meters long, which was much stronger and more beautiful than the previous one, and I was not afraid of any wind and rain with it.

In order to ensure the supply of fresh water, I also repaired the rainwater harvesting system, and the rainwater collected by raising it can flow directly into the reservoir, which saves a lot of effort.

With the cistern, I don't have to worry about fresh water anymore, so I don't need to distill seawater, so the gas cylinder used to distill seawater becomes a kettle to heat the rainwater, which is very safe to drink.

With a safe and comfortable place to live, fresh water to drink safely, and a companion giant turtle, the only thing I had to do was that I had to be busy with food every day, but every day was full and real.

Gradually, I began to like this kind of life, away from the glitz and hustle and bustle of the world, away from the intrigue and intrigue between people, and return to the basics.
