I have to make sea preparations as soon as possible, because I don't know when the pirates will return to the island, if they find out that Fu Yuchen has run away, Shun Teng will definitely find us, after so many tortures, I am not so afraid of death, but I can't let Shen Yao become the second Fu Yuchen.

I cleaned all the diesel barrels that could still be used to hold water, Shen Yao has changed a lot in the past two days, and she is more silent than before, it may be that Fu Yuchen's matter hit her hard, I often see her sitting next to Fu Yuchen's ashes and talking to herself.

Four buckets of fresh water, and nearly a week's accumulation of dried fish fillets, can not bring more things, the small raft place is already limited, and the sea encounters wind and waves, no matter how many things are carried on such a small raft, it is impossible to preserve.

I used a broken knife to chop some tough palm leaves, and weaved them into a canopy by interweaving them layer by layer, although this canopy is not big, but at least it can withstand the sun so that Shen Yao and I will not die of dehydration in the sun. I cut some rattan skin, the rattan skin was dried and torn into filament, and then the filament was woven into a string, and the string was tied into a net, this is a meticulous job, I handed it over to Shen Yao, she spent two days weaving a net with these rattan skins I prepared, although it is not big, but it is enough for the two of us, I tied this net into a pocket of more than one meter, this net is the key to whether we can survive at sea.

The rain followed for several days, and I wondered if it was time to go, for it might be better to start in the rain than to wait for the end of the rainy season, which was far less harmful to us than the sun on the sea. After much deliberation, I concluded that now was a good time for us to set off and told Shen Yao, she was a little hesitant to hold Fu Yuchen's ashes, I looked at her and asked, "Don't you want to go back to your relatives?" The rain wet her hair and stuck on her face, we are all used to the gentle rain on this island, and we will not feel uncomfortable because of this, she shook her head, "I think, but can we really use it to go back?" Shen Yao pointed to the raft that looked like a fallen leaf on the waves.

At this time, I knew that I should give her some courage, she was thinking too much, afraid that this adventure would make her a second Fu Yuchen or die at sea, so she preferred to stay on this island, I touched her head, she didn't know that it was more dangerous to stay on the island, I tidied up her wet hair, "Don't worry, we will succeed." ”

As we passed by the mound of sand where the black man with the broken leg was buried, and the pale yellow liquid from the sand came from the rain, which was the rotting corpse water, I couldn't help but think to myself, if we had stayed on this island, I would probably have ended up like this sooner or later, and maybe not even someone to bury me.

When we were swinging the raft away from the island, Shen Yao kept looking back at the island that was gradually moving away, her eyes seemed to show a trace of reluctance, she hesitated to ask the question again, "Are we going to leave Hagu on the island?" I thought to myself that the human monkey may be gone, but I can't tell her that the human monkey may have been eaten by sharks, so I comforted her, "Hagu has been living on the island since we didn't come, he's fine, we can't take him out on an adventure together, what do you say." Shen Yao nodded reluctantly, "Okay, then when we are rescued, we will come to him again." I nodded, I knew she was a little reluctant to leave this island, after all, we had spent about two years on this island, and we had gradually become accustomed to a life away from society, and now she was scared to leave here.

When the island disappeared from our field of vision, and the rain gradually lightened, I collected the pulp and lay down in the raft, Shen Yao asked me, "Uncle Yi, are you tired?" I shook my head, "I'm not tired, but we can't rely on rowing to escape from here, we have to rely on drifting." ”

Shen Yao didn't seem to understand what I meant, "Then will we drift back to the island?" I shook my head and waved the sea water under the raft with my hand, "No, we have rowed into the ocean current, although the sea surface seems to be calm, but in fact, the sea water in the ocean is also flowing along a certain trajectory, so as long as we follow the sea water, we can reach a place where there are people." ”

She seemed to understand, her eyes lit up, "Is it really that simple?" I nodded, "yes, it's that simple." "I didn't tell her the truth, the truth is that we might not be able to see land for a year, and by then we must have become a dried corpse drifting on the sea, and if I said that, she would have cried.

The rain and heavy rain clouds were with us all the time, so I didn't know whether it was day or night, so I tied a palm leaf lid to the raft to keep it out of the rain, so that the icy rain would not fall directly on us, and we had to hug each other in order to keep warm in the rain. Shen Yao and I got under the lid, and reducing our activities allowed us to drift on the sea longer, which I taught Shen Yao from the beginning, so she, like me, tried not to do any activities.

I don't know how many cycles, I fell asleep, I woke up and saw that there was no change around the sea, the vast sea was endless, and the number of disappointments became more and more, and I gradually began to lose hope. But every time I wake up, I shake Shen Yao, she will respond in a whisper, and her response makes me feel at ease, which becomes the motivation for me every time I wake up. Gradually, we finished eating the dried fish, and I didn't have the strength to get up as often, our bodies were getting weaker and weaker, and I would feel flustered and palpitating when I sat up, and Shen Yao's condition was even worse.

Sometimes Shen Yao woke up, she would be like me, she wanted to get a response from me, but she wouldn't sit up and look at the situation at sea, she didn't like the feeling of disappointment, she just asked me in a low voice, "Uncle Yi, am I dead?" I told her that she hadn't, and she would continue to sleep.

When I saw that there were blisters at the corners of Shen Yao's mouth, we had been drifting on the sea for at least a month, there had been no rain for more than ten days, the scorching sun made our fresh water consume quickly, only fresh water and no food made Shen Yao dehydrated, I pulled up the fishing net, today is another day of nothing, we have been drifting in this black sea for many days, this sea water will be dark green at night, there is no life at all, there are no fish and no seabirds, if we have been trapped in this sea area, then we will eventually die here。
