Chapter 61: Goodbye, Friend

There are still six or seven days before the next big tide, during which time I have to prepare food and water for rafting, and I have grilled enough whale jerky to eat for at least half a year.

As for drinking water, I also have more than 100 litres of water, plenty of food and water to ensure it, and I also make some bamboo ropes in case I need them, with which I can drift at sea for at least three months, and if I can collect some rainwater and catch some fish, I will last longer.

But how long can I stay at sea?

I don't really know,,,,,,,

I originally named this island "Guam Wang", which is my name, because I discovered this island, so I named it after me.

At first I thought I would be rescued soon, but I didn't expect that I had been living on this desert island for nearly seven years, and every day of my life during those seven years was a torment.

In the past seven years, I have been thinking about my family and everything in the real world, and I have been tormented every day, so I chose to escape self-hypnosis, like a walking corpse, living without thoughts.

Over time, I fell into confusion, thinking about the meaning of my existence, what I am living for, and gradually the confusion in my heart made me almost collapse, I tried to resist but failed, and finally I chose to end it all, but I did not have the courage to face death.

I wandered between life and death for a long, long time, and suddenly one day I realized that life is nothing more than this, whether you are a great man or an unknown common man, you have to follow the arrangement of fate.

No matter how you resist, you can't fight fate, some people say that my life is up to me, and if you are not satisfied with your life, you will do your best to fight against fate, in fact, this is just a test of fate for you, because your life is a colorful and vigorous life.

Many people happily accept the arrangement of fate, and such people are destined to be ordinary in this life, and often this is what most people are destined for.

In short, no matter what kind of person you are, you can't jump out of the circle drawn by fate, no matter how hard you try, fate will run ahead of you.

It's not you who change your fate, it's fate that changes you,,,

It's not that you choose life, it's life that chooses you,,,

We are all a drop in the ocean in this world, and no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and finally return to nothingness.

And my fate is definitely not to die silently on a desert island, I want to take a bamboo raft to drift on the sea to challenge my own fate, no matter what the result, even if it is buried in the sea, I accept it calmly.

I've lived on this island for seven years, and I know every place here, and I have a delicate affection for every plant and tree on the island, and I'm a little reluctant to leave here.

But I knew that this was not a place for me, and that I had to leave here to find my true life, but I had an old friend to meet before I left.

During this period of time, it was dividing the sperm whale and making a bamboo raft, and I didn't have time to go into the sea to play with the big sea turtle, and I didn't know if the big sea turtle was still there after so long, and I didn't see it come ashore to find me during this time.

The turtle has always been with me when I was at my worst, although the turtle is a beast, but the turtle is very spiritual, it seems to be able to read my heart, and gives me great comfort when I am confused and desperate.

I had to see the turtle one last time before I left to show my appreciation, so I dived in with some whale jerky, because every time I went fishing, the turtle would appear and play with me.

Sure enough, not long after I went to the sea, the big turtle appeared, I held my breath and swam and frolicked with the turtle underwater, and at the same time I fed the turtle some jerky, although I and the turtle are two different species, but we figured it out in our hearts, our friendship is the existence of cross-species.

The water was crystal clear, all kinds of fish swam among the colorful corals, and I swam with the sea in this fairy-like underwater world, until I was exhausted I returned to the shore, looked at the distant turtles and said loudly:

"Goodbye old friend,,I will always remember you,,"

Eventually, I moved the dried whale meat into the hut in the hope that it would last longer, and that it would help anyone if they were to be stranded on the island.

Today is the day I leave this small island, so I walked around the island and finally, it is really happy and sad to see this small island that I have lived on for seven years.

Although I was a little reluctant but had to leave, I carried all the food and water on the bamboo raft, and a small piece of ambergris in the sperm whale's head, and Zou Xinyue's letter, and squeezed the drifting bottle on the pillar of the bamboo raft, hoping that it would bring me good luck.

If I could really return to the real world, I would definitely fulfill my promise to Zou Xinyue, and even go to find the child in the letter in the drifting bottle to befriend him.

The tide is coming as scheduled,,,,,

I put the log under the bamboo raft, and when the tide was wet, I used a stick to lift the bamboo raft, and under the action of the log, the bamboo raft was smoothly rowed into the sea, and I pushed the bamboo raft into the deep water, and then quickly climbed onto the bamboo raft and floated to the deep sea.

Looking at the distant island, my heart is very complicated, it is really mixed feelings, after seven years, I can finally leave this desert island and embark on the road home, but I don't know what the road ahead will be, but at this moment I have no choice but to go all the way forward.

Gradually, the island disappeared from my sight, and in front of me was a vast ocean, and unknown challenges and fate awaited me.
