Chapter 56: A Big Fish
Everything goes on and my raft is progressing very slowly, as the saying goes, "easier said than done", when I first conceived the raft, it felt very simple, but it was really difficult to operate, one problem after another gave me a headache, it seems that making an ideal raft is not as easy as imagined.
For various reasons, my raft has come to a standstill, and as the days go by, I unconsciously enter the rainy season, so that my raft stops working completely, and my mood is like the sky has been overcast in the rainy season.
The weather is unpredictable, rains are frequent, and storms are sporadic at times.
Let the raging storm wreak havoc in my hut, and with a sturdy shelter I no longer have to worry about the storm.
Lightning, thunder, howling, rain,,,,
The lightning and thunder were mixed with wind and rain, and the storm was unusually violent, which reminded me of the previous storm that had almost destroyed everything in me, and although I had a sturdy house, there was still some wind and rain that broke into the hut and made me feel a little terrified in the dark night.
So I lit the fire to dispel the cold and timidity in my heart, and I looked at the flickering flames and prayed in my heart that the storm would soon end, and that my cottage would survive the storm.
I fell asleep trembling,,,,,,
When I woke up, the fire in the fire hall had been extinguished, only a pile of ashes remained, the sky had already dawned, and the storm had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, and looking at the gray sky was still depressing, and suddenly a voice came from afar.
Woo,,,, woo,,,,
It was supposed to be the cry of some kind of creature, and it sounded very desolate and mournful.
I thought to myself what was coming to this island, and the sound it made was creepy, a sense of foreboding and fear came from my heart, but curiosity overcame my fear, and I dared to follow the scream to find out.
The sound came from the east side of the island, which is the highest part of the island, and there are many huge volcanic rocks, and there is little vegetation, so I rarely come here to do things, and only go there when I collect food.
I walked timidly in the direction of the sound, and when I came to the east side of the island I heard the desolate cry, and it sounded even more terrible when it was so close to me.
I had the courage to carefully open the bushes and look out to the sea, and at this moment my heart was unusually nervous, in short, scared, and wondered what the hell was going to come here.
I was shocked to see an unimaginable big guy appear in front of me, and it was a miracle for me that I could say that I would come up with such a sentence in the face of such a terrifying thing.
"What a fucking ,,, big fish!!!"
No, it's not a fish, it's a whale, and I'm sure it's a sperm whale with its huge head as a sperm whale, and it's a live stranded adult sperm whale.
It must have been last night's strong storm that disoriented the sperm whale to swim here, and now that the tide has receded, it is stranded on this small island.
Looking at the stranded sperm whale in front of me, I was very excited, but more surprised and overwhelmed, the sperm whale was still alive, but its huge body made it unable to move, and could only let out a helpless wail.
And now this sperm whale doesn't even seem to have the strength to wail, I know that the sperm whale is a mammal that breathes with its lungs, but once it runs aground and has no buoyancy of the sea, its huge body will compress its lungs and make it unable to breathe normally, and it will not be long before it dies.
Looking at the dying sperm whale, I had only one thought in my heart, and that was that I had to get it back into the sea to be saved.
Without thinking, I began to push the sperm whale hard to push it back into the sea, I pushed hard a few times without pushing, and I immediately realized that my action was ridiculous and stupid, how could a person push a whale.
Looking at this sperm whale, which is 15 meters long and weighs at least more than 20 tons, don't even think about moving it without large machinery and equipment, trying to save it is simply a fantasy for me.
This sperm whale was lying on its side on the beach, with many wounds on its body that should have been caused by exposure to the air and leaving a lot of blood, and I felt very sad to watch it struggle in pain on the beach.
The only thing I could do was to splash seawater on its body to reduce its pain a little bit, and I could do nothing but watch it struggle in pain.
The whale's wail at night kept me awake and I felt very uncomfortable, and I could feel the whale's pain.
A lone whale is far away from the herd, lost in the sea, stranded on a desert island, struggling in helpless pain and finally slowly dying, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.
The sperm whale also reminded me of myself, and at this moment my experience is like this sperm whale, alone on a desert island to survive, and finally can only die in endless loneliness.
I didn't dare to think about what my future would look like, so I covered my ears and forced myself to sleep, and so I spent the night in a state of confusion.
The next morning I went to the stranded sperm whale again and found that it had not moved at all, and that there was a lot of blood coming out of its saw-like mouth, and there was only one explanation for this.
It's dead,,,,,,,
Seeing this scene, I didn't know why there was a knife in my heart, I bent down to look at the dead sperm whale, I choked and shed tears.
I had no thoughts, like a corpse leaning on the body of a sperm whale, for a long, long time, as if I too were dead.
I really want to die like the sperm whale so that I don't have to suffer that loneliness anymore.
But then I thought I had another option, and that was to make a raft and get out of here.
Sometimes life is either waiting for death in silent loneliness, or you can use your life to change your life.
