The moon on the sea is big and round, the tide has risen to my feet, and soon it will flood the reef we are sitting on and turn it into a reef, the sea breeze is getting colder and colder, Shen Yao's body has lost the last bit of temperature, I can't bear to look at her pale and cold face, this will always sting my heart, reminding me that my willfulness has buried her life, I can no longer take her to drift on the vast sea, I don't have the courage to watch her immature and thin body swell and rot in front of me.

I wiped my messy face, I couldn't just leave her on this cold reef, the tide would wash her away, and I was going to find her a resting place at the end of the trip.

In the moonlight, I busily shuttled on the reef, I found a stranded cargo ship, it was a huge gap in the side of the ship by the reef, and finally stranded in the reef, I climbed into it through the gap, it was like a spacious galley, the ground had water just below my ankles, the rusted waterproof hatch and the darkness made it impossible for me to go inside, and the huge stainless steel platform vaguely reflected the lack of ** The light that came in, there were some rotten stoves and steamers on the platform, the tide could not penetrate it, and the good waterproof treatment made the table still look very strong, I cleaned it up.

I don't know where the power came out, I picked up Shen Yao's already cold body and brought her here little by little, I put the puppet in her hand, I accompanied her for a while, I am not so sad, because I have been preparing for today since the day I set off, and it is very good to find such a place to sleep on the vast sea, at least if I can be in such a sheltered place when I die, I will be very happy.

The tide poured in through the gap in the cargo ship, I knew it was time to go, I had to leave after all, I said to Shen Yao, who was lying quietly, "If I can still come back, I will definitely take you home." ”

I climbed out of the gap and returned to the raft, this place I didn't want to stay for a moment, my heart hurt and was about to be broken, I gently rowed the raft out of this reef, my ears sounded a pleasant song, graceful and charming, I knew that I was delusional, the moon in the water made me weak and unable to distinguish up and down, I lay weakly in the raft, the wreck bay gradually left me, my tears rained, my heart seemed like two people quarreling, one told me not to give up hope to continue to drift, the other told me to stay here, even if I die here is better than die alone at sea。

Finally the thought of letting me drift triumphed, and when I sat up again with my convictions, the sun was once again out of the sea, and I had drifted into the current again, and I looked at the sea below the boat, and I had left the dark green sea.

After a few more days of drifting, the red octopus had eaten up its tentacles, and my nets had only caught a few lost flying fish, small but large enough for me to sustain myself, and the sun was fierce at noon that day, and the palm leaf cover I had woven had begun to fall apart after exposure to the sun and heavy rain, and it would not be long before it would be useless at all.

The net in my hand moved, and the sound in my ears was like rain falling on the raft, I knew that another unlucky egg got into my fishing net, they must have used the net as a ball of seaweed, when I looked down and was about to carefully collect the net, the scene in front of me made me panic, under the raft was a school of herring like a black cloud, before I could pull the net up, a huge sailfish came out from the depths, its long pointed beak almost pierced the raft, and then it swallowed my net with the fish in the net, the huge pull almost dislocated my arm instantly, I clung to the raft so tightly that the raft almost overturnedMy raft seemed to float on the surface of the water under the drag of the sailfish, and finally my net could not withstand the huge pull and was torn by it.

I held on to my almost dislocated arm and looked at the black fish under me but there was no way, I tried twice with one hand to no avail, I used a knife to cut, sure enough, there were herring that I hacked to death, but before I could row over it was snatched away by the smaller tuna, the dolphins and swordfish drove the herring to the surface, the surface of the water was stirred by these fish as if it was open, in a hurry I put my eyes on the diesel barrel filled with water, I cut off the lid of the oil drum with a knife, and fished towards the place where the fish were dense, and even filled a bucket full of fish, so I harvested half a boat of fish, if I poured it down my raft would turn over, although the net was broken, but I have caught the most fish since rafting, and the most in my lifetime.

The herring that I picked up died quickly, they died in a few hours, the next day's heat made them stink, the seabirds flew down to eat my herring, driving away this group of seabirds exhausted me, I used three oil cans to hold herring, including the urn containing Yuchen's ashes, I don't think she would blame me, the rest of the herring was swept away by the pesky seabirds, and I was tired and I had no strength to drive them away.

After another two days, the rotten and foul-smelling herring had become gelatinous, and the stench must have come from hell, and I pinched my nose to put them in my mouth.

The rotten herring made me nauseous and diarrhea, I was very embarrassed, the dehydration of the diarrhea made me unconscious for a while, I had no strength at all, I had no fishing nets, I had lost the tools to hunt live fish, I threw the remaining herring into the sea with the oil drums, I gave up, and fell into an aimless and desperate drift again.
