15. Stranded fishing boats
The weather was just right, the breeze was blowing only the sun was stronger, but swimming in the water was not in the way.
I took off my coat and trousers, and was about to go into the water to look at the reef.
Suddenly, I heard Shen Yao calling me behind me, her voice was a little anxious, I don't know when I woke up, I looked back and saw that she was running over!"Uncle Yi, where are you going?"
I just saw that she was still sleeping soundly, and I didn't call her, but now I woke up and ran over, as if I was afraid that I would lose her and go away by myself, I pointed to the reefs behind me.
"I'll go over there and take a look, if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get a big catch!" I looked at the beam, thinking that the angular reef might be a cargo ship that had run aground and flipped over the reef, and if that was the case, not to mention finding some supplies and daily necessities, and if I was lucky, I would find a satellite phone that could communicate with the outside world, and it would not be a problem to be rescued.
Shen Yao seemed to be a little worried, didn't show any joy, and also walked into the water, reached out and touched my arm, "I'll go too." ”
I was a little surprised, she was a little weird and abnormal today, she had never been lazy to follow me before, I saw that she could run, swimming through the lagoon about 100 meters wide should not be a problem, not to mention that the lagoon is not deep, many places can be walked with feet to the bottom, so I nodded.
When she saw that I had agreed, she was about to turn around and take off her shirt, but she stopped and turned to look at me. "You turn around first!"
"Oh oh oh!" I quickly turned around, thinking that the little girl had a lot to do.
"Alright!" After a moment, I turned back to see that she had already taken off her coat and skirt, wearing only underwear and bottoms, and was wading through the water with her hands on her chest.
I looked at her reddened little face and couldn't help but tease her, "What's the difference?"
"Of course! She said to me with a raised face, as if she was scolding me for being ignorant.
I was a little angry, this little girl became neither big nor small again, and I couldn't help but want to ridicule her. "I can't see that you're wearing this at such a young ~~ age. I gestured with my hand to my chest.
Her face turned gloomy, and she suddenly took away the hand that was blocking her chest, raised her voice and said, "Where am I young!"
I was really a little surprised, I couldn't see her such a thin physique, plus the hunger and wandering for more than a month, almost nothing was visible when she wore clothes, but it was quite obvious when she didn't wear it, and it was indeed to the extent that she wanted to wear it.
"Mmmm, it's not small!" Seeing that she was angry, I quickly nodded, turned around and threw myself into the water, swimming towards the reef, and she stood for a while and followed me.
Because there are corals and reefs on the outside, the water in the whole lagoon is very small, there are no waves, and the water in the lagoon is exceptionally clear, and if you swim above and look down, you can see schools of small fish and corals of various colors swimming below.
I was swimming to the middle of the lagoon, the water depth was about 3-4 meters, and when I looked back, Shen Yao was actually dropped by me more than ten meters away, she swam slowly, I swam back to her, she was clearly panting, but she didn't call me.
"Okay?"
I looked at her, and she seemed to be a little angry, as if she wanted to say something to me but she was panting, so she ignored me and continued to swim slowly. This tsundere appearance made me angry and laugh.
I swam up from behind, dived under her, and floated up from below, and she couldn't avoid me, so she put her arms around my neck and swam with my strength.
In these days on the island, when the hot flashes are unbearable, we go into the sea to swim, so her water nature is also a lot better, but before she was wearing a coat, and she didn't feel anything in the water, this time she put her arms around her neck, she slipped on my back, only to feel the difference, and I couldn't help but feel a little more nervous and uneasy.
Swimming to the edge of the reef, the water became shallow, and I could see that there was a huge reef under the feet that had not been exposed to the water, and the reef that protruded from the water and looked strange from a distance was indeed a fish boat that had run aground on the reef, I don't know how many years it had been stranded here, and the hull had been hung with thick barnacles, covering the hull layer by layer, and it had long disappeared from its original face.
However, judging from the appearance, this is not a fishing boat or a whaling ship, about 500 tons, and the ship ran aground because it ran aground because it ran into the reef and entered the water, perhaps because it encountered a storm. Stranded on the reef with its hull tilted, and now the hatch is no longer even visible because of the barnacle covering.
I picked up a stone and wanted to scrape off the barnacles on the side of the boat to see if I could see the name of the ship, so I climbed up, the barnacles were very slippery under my feet, and I tried several times but didn't climb up, at this time Shen Yao called me on the side.
"Look at those seabirds, they look like they're eating moss pecking at the stones!"
I walked over to look, and sure enough, a few seagulls were pecking at the red and green moss growing on the reef, and I used to scrape some of the stones in my hand and put it in my mouth, and it tasted the same as the green grass foam that the monkey stuffed into my mouth that day.
I clapped my hands and got it all!
