Chapter 21: A Bottle

The sea breeze is light and the sun is just right.

A cloudless sky shrouds an endless sea. A few seagulls rested leisurely on the mast, tilting their heads and cooing as they stared at the behemoth in front of them.

Su Yi stepped on the mast ladder and climbed to the top. He has a screwdriver in his mouth, and his two hands are disassembling the signal antenna.

A jib was hung on the mast. The drive system has been damaged, but the yacht is still able to sail on the wind. But the weather today was surprisingly good, and there was not a hint of wind.

A few minutes later, Yan Bing came to the deck. She crossed her waist, looked up and said, "Is it fixed?...... Will you?"

Su Yi was engrossed in his work, "I'm also a big girl on the sedan chair, the first time, will I not say it first, just with our positive attitude, it is worth some people to learn well." Did you make breakfast or not?"

"You have a really big heart, and you're still thinking about breakfast at this time!" Yan Bing smiled slightly, "Master Su, you've been up for more than half an hour, so if you can't fix it, come down." ”

"You mean, if I can't fix this thing, I'll have to quit eating!? I'm telling you, you can do a good job, but you can't miss a single grain of food!"

"What a rice bucket!" Yan Bing said softly.

Su Yi lowered his head and asked, "Is the meal ready?"

"Alright, come down and fill the rice!"

From yesterday afternoon to now, the two of them have not eaten anything. Su was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back early in the morning, and when he heard that breakfast was ready, he hurriedly went down to the deck and got into the cabin.

Breakfast was hearty with steak, omelette, canned fish, fruit salad and boiled milk.

"Thank you to the kind lady for giving me this hearty breakfast, I'm with my wife, let's go!" Su Yi muttered quietly, picked up the knife and fork, and ate the steak seriously.

Yan Bing glanced at him with disgusted eyes, cut a small piece of steak in his mouth, closed his mouth and chewed slowly, and then raised his eyebrows, "Is it delicious?"

Su nodded like pounding garlic, "It's delicious, it's not a problem for you to be angry with two Western chefs." ”

"It's delicious?"

"Hmm!"

"Then you eat more. As he spoke, he gave his steak to Su Yi, "I dreamed of my dad last night, and in my dream, he kept asking me about you." ”

"When you go back, I'll accompany you to visit the grave. Su Yi sandwiched the steak back into Yan Bing's plate, "Eat well and take care of yourself for your father." ”

Yan Bing's expression was solemn, he thought about it for a long time, and asked, "Who are you, and how did you know my father?...... Did my dad really die of a failed operation?"

Su Yi raised his head, in his impression, Yan Bing had never had such a look, pondered for a while, and said, "Miss Yan, I am just an ordinary person, and your father met by chance, and he did die of a failed heart attack. ”

Yan Bing shook his head, "You lied to me." ”

Su Yi was silent and did not speak.

“…… , if you don't want to say it, forget it. Yan Bing lowered his head and ate breakfast silently.

……

After the meal, Su Yi turned on the radio and called for help to the outside world, "Earl No. 1 calls the Coast Guard Division......"

All communication bands have been tried several times, but not a single response has been received. I took out my phone and looked at it, but there was still no signal.

The sea is calm, with the occasional breeze blowing through the air. Standing at the bow of the ship, as far as the eye can see, in addition to the blue sky, there is the blue sea. They were cut off from the world.

Yan Bing also came to the deck. She stood behind Su Yi, looking at the sea in the distance with a blank look.

Su Yi turned around and smiled, and said, "Since last night, a shadow has fallen on my heart, and as soon as you appear behind me, I feel a mosquito the size of a 36 shoe falling on my back." ”

Yan Bing snorted, took two steps forward, and the two stood side by side, "Don't be so obsessed, okay?"

"I'm just scared of mosquitoes, that's all. ”

After being silent for a while, Yan Bing asked, "We've known each other for two years, why haven't we heard you mention your family?"

"Family?" Su Yi was suddenly stunned, and in his memory, smiling faces and calls flashed in his mind like tidbits.

"yes, where are your mom and dad?"

Su Yi looked up at the sky and said softly, "They are far, far away, and some people call it heaven. ”

Yan Bing's heart trembled, "I'm sorry." She suddenly felt that Su Yi was as pitiful as herself, and the biggest pain in the world was the loss of her loved ones.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Are you an only child?"

"I have an older brother and an older sister...... However, they are gone. Su Yi stared into the distance, lost in memory.

Yan Bing regretted asking this question and hurriedly changed the topic, "Do you know how to fish?

Su turned his head to Yan Bing with a smile, "Okay." ”

Yan Bing found two fishing rods, handed one to Su Yi and said, "What you eat at night depends on your luck." ”

Su Yi retracted his thoughts and said, "You wait for me to catch a Wang Ba to make up for your body!" As he spoke, his wrist flicked, and the hook had been thrown into the sea.

"I'm not blessed, catch it and enjoy it yourself. Yan Bing also threw the hook into the sea.

Seeing her skillful movements, she couldn't help but ask, "When did you learn to fish?"

"That's early, when I was in elementary school, my dad often took me to Changge Lake to fish, at that time there were a lot of fish in the lake, all of them were wild, every time we could catch a lot of fish, and when we got home, my mother would make a whole fish feast for us, her craftsmanship was very good, every time I could eat a whole, once I was pierced by a fish bone, I cried heartbroken, and blamed my mother for not doing well in fish......"

Yan Bing's eyes were a little moist, her mother died in an accident when she was in high school. Some memories are only suitable for being firmly sealed in the mind. I can't mention it to anyone, I can only reminisce about the past alone in a quiet time. Because every tear is the laughter of the past.

Death is more memorable than life.

Crying is more memorable than laughing.

"Your fish is drifting. Yan Bing didn't dare to reminisce anymore, she was afraid that she would cry.

After being reminded by Yan Bing, Su Yicai found that his fish drift was floating up and down, he hurriedly retracted the line, and said with a smile: "Dinner has fallen today." ”

The line is retracted, but there is no fish on the hook. Rather, it was a glass bottle wrapped in a fishing net. Seems to be a drifting bottle.

"What is this?"

The two men looked at each other.
