The last time I opened my eyes to look at the dark green sea, we drifted into a sea grassland, but it could also be a wasteland, because my fishing nets had not been harvested for more than ten days. I shook Shen Yao's shoulder, she had no response, and she had stopped whispering for a long time if she was dead, she had reached her limit now.

I want to help her drink a little water, but I don't have the strength, I can't even sit up by myself, although Shen Yao is skinny now, I still can't do it.

Although it was sunny all the time, we still had plenty of fresh water, because just as we drifted into this dark green sea, we experienced a storm and the rain from the raft made me fill the oil drum again.

The smell of these fresh water floating in the sun can be imagined, when we set off, Shen Yao always complained that the diesel smell in the water was too strong, but now I drink the water in the bucket but there is no taste at all, I am already dehydrated, drinking a lot of water may stimulate my blood pressure and make my heart stop, Shen Yao is the same, so I can only drink a little at a time, but I can't stop drinking, we will die quickly if we don't drink water.

I drank two sips of water, and seemed to be a little more energetic, and at this time I could only feed Shen Yao with my mouth, she only had a little reaction when she drank water, I knew that we wouldn't have a long time, looking at Shen Yao who was dying, I felt a little guilty in my heart, maybe we should stay on the island, but more of a relief, I was not struggling, I was lying in the raft, and the leisurely sea water soon made me fall asleep.

In the dream, I vaguely felt that someone poked my foot again, I was too tired to break open my eyes, but my foot was poked too painful, for a moment I thought that I was floating on the sea, I opened my eyes suddenly, it turned out to be a seagull poking my ankle rotten sores, the lack of vitamins made my hands and feet begin to have rotten sores, although it hurts but at this time I am very excited, there are seabirds means that there is land nearby.

I sat up from the raft with all my strength to see where the seagull flew, I did see land, but not land in the strict sense of the word, the scene in front of me was very strange, a corroded and dilapidated stranded steamer, freighter, fishing boat arranged around a reef of different depths, it was obvious that under this sea area was a group of reefs, there were dozens of ships stranded on the reef, the largest may be thousands of tons, and the small ones are hundreds of tons, and they all seem to be old.

With a glimmer of hope, I paddled my hand into the depths of Shipwreck Bay, and with my current strength I could not climb up the barnacle ship full of barnacles to find food, and using a broken knife to pry the barnacles off the hull to eat was the fastest way to replenish food at the moment.

I leaned the boat on a large reef, once people ignite hope, they can burst out with extraordinary strength, although lying on the sea for a long time has made it difficult for me to walk, I still climbed off the raft, I want to find something to eat for myself, and I also hope to find food to save the dying Shen Yao.

I pried off the reef and the hull of the boat from these snails or barnacles, only a few, I don't think this is a way to save myself, it is too difficult to eat a little meat in them, I want to find more accessible food, I threw the broken knife used to pry barnacles, I want to climb over the shallows of the reef, but my feet are entangled in a soft and cold thing in the crack of the reef, I can't imagine that there is a huge red octopus, it grabbed my legs tightly, almost dragged me into the cracks of the stones, fortunately my legs were stuck and it couldn't be dragged at all, otherwise with my physical strength I would definitely drown in the sea, I never dreamed that I would be eaten by a big octopus。

I wanted to get the broken knife that had just fallen but couldn't reach it, I couldn't do it if I wanted to bend down to bite the tentacle that was entangled in me, I shouted Shen Yao's name out of breath, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, but I understood that she was already in a semi-comatose state, but a miracle really happened, she really heard my shouting, sat up from the raft, I haven't seen her eyes so big and so attentive for a long time, just like she quarreled with her parents on the plane, she looked at me for a long time as if she was asleep, I had a bad premonition, she seemed to be back to the light, I said quickly bring the knife to me, she staggered out of the raft, and then she actually stood up, She picked up the broken knife and handed it to me, I put the knife into the stone crack in the water to find the right angle and clamp the tentacle hard, the water immediately burst out of a cloud of black ink, the red octopus threw down one of its tentacles and ran away, I fished out the tentacle that was still wriggling, more than a meter long calf thick.

I was overjoyed, but Shen Yao showed a look of disgust, I was worried about her abnormal state, she behaved like a normal person, not at all like a person who hadn't eaten for more than ten days, this was obviously extremely terrifying, but at the moment we had nothing to crawl on, I used a knife to cut the tentacles of the octopus into small pieces and handed it to her, she hesitated and ate it, she thought it tasted good and ate a lot, and then kept asking me, "Uncle Yi, where are we here?" I shook my head and said I didn't know, but we were one step closer to home, and she seemed very happy, her appetite was unusually good, and she ate a lot, and I ate a lot.

I cut the remaining octopus legs into long strips and dried them on the reef, Shen Yao finished eating the fish pieces I cut for her, and she kept sitting on the reef, she looked at the sea without a single hair, I called her name and asked her to talk to me, she turned her head to look at me, but her eyes had lost the agility and luster when she had just come down from the raft, the sun had fallen to the sea at this time, the sea breeze blew her hair and fluttered gently, I sat next to her, she gently leaned on my shoulder, "Uncle Yi, I'm so sleepy, let's go home quickly." ”

I nodded, and she gently leaned on my shoulder to sleep, and I put my left hand around her thin shoulder to keep her body from slipping, and before I knew it, tears were already wetting my face. I saw a puppet rushing over by the waves on the side of the reef, it was the sharp-hatted puppet swept away by the typhoon, Shen Yao had been looking for it for a long time, and it had drifted here in the vast sea.
