Chapter Seventy-Eight: Savior
Shi Xiaonian floated on the sea for three full days, and during these three days, her patience was also exhausted bit by bit. As time passed, her food reserves gradually decreased, and it was only two days at most, and if she didn't get out of this sea, she was afraid that she would die in the belly of the fish, or sink into the deep sea with the raft.
She was unwilling, she didn't want to die here, Shi Xiaonian didn't allow herself to die here, she rowed desperately like crazy, trying to make herself move faster, faster.
But she had been eating fruit for several days in a row, and she had no physical strength for a long time. As soon as she rowed so hard, she immediately panted like a dog, she threw the oars aside, and the whole person collapsed on the raft.
She really ran out of energy, she really couldn't row......
Shi Xiaonian tried hard to open her eyes, she looked at the boundless sea, and her heart sank like that......
She drifted at sea for two more days, and she really reached the point of running out of food. Shi Xiaonian sat on the raft, and she looked around blankly. She couldn't see the way ahead because she was about to give up.
On the sea, the fresh water she had prepared had already been drunk a day ago, the sea water was so salty that she couldn't drink it at all, and as for the fruit, she clutched the last small fruit tightly in her hand, and moved her somewhat chapped lips, but finally failed to bite down.
There were tears in her eyes, she was * to the end of the road, Shi Xiaonian found that she really had no way at all, there was no way, there was no way out, she could only wait for death.
If there is the slightest hope, who is willing to give up life? There is really no way out, originally Xiao Nian was still thinking about whether she could meet a passing merchant ship or a cruise ship, but no, this sea seems to be inaccessible, Shi Xiao Nian thinks that God can make it rain, so that she can hold on for a while.
But the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, God seems to be unable to get along with Shi Xiaonian, the sun is hanging viciously in the sky, as if to burn everything, Shi Xiaonian feels that she is being sunburned like this, she is really going to hang.
And just when Shi Xiaonian was dying, a whistle suddenly sounded in her ears. At first, Xiao Nian thought it was her hallucination, so she didn't care very much. After all, it is normal for people to have delusions when they are desperate to survive.
However, about ten minutes later, Shi Xiaonian looked up, and she saw the shadow of a ship not far away. At first she thought it was another delusion, but when she rubbed her eyes lightly, she found that the steamer was still there, and her body seemed to be infused with a force, and she miraculously stood up and waved in the direction of the steamer.
"Hey, anyone, help, help me!" Shi Xiaonian shouted at the top of her throat, this is a life-saving straw, she must hold on to it firmly, if the people on the ship don't see her, or pass by, Shi Xiaonian really can't bear such a result.
Fortunately, there seemed to be several more figures on the deck of the steamer, Shi Xiaonian saw someone, she shouted harder, the ship approached her, and Shi Xiaonian showed a smile on his face for the rest of his life.
Then, she passed out on the raft.
When Shi Xiaonian woke up, she found herself in a small closed room, she tried her best to stand up, trying to sit up, but she really didn't have the strength, she was halfway up, and lay heavily on the bed.
There was a loud noise in the room, and a moment later, a blonde man in uniform appeared in front of her. Shi Xiaonian looked at the other party, and she realized that it might be a foreigner who saved her.
"Hello. Shi Xiaonian said hello, she hadn't spoken in English for so many years, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
This man introduced himself to Shi Xiaonian, it turned out that he was the captain of this cruise ship, she was discovered by the crew, he rescued her on the ship, and could only take her back to the United States, he wanted to ask Shi Xiaoniantong if he agreed.
The other party was able to save her life, Shi Xiaonian was already very grateful, where else could she account for these, although she wanted to go back immediately, but since the other party said so, it meant that he had his considerations and difficulties, Shi Xiaonian didn't give anyone any benefit, and she didn't even pay the boat fare, so she ate and lived in vain, and she was embarrassed to ask for anything.
The ship drove to the dock, Shi Xiaonian got off the boat, she said goodbye to the captain, the captain wanted to invite Shi Xiaonian to his house, but Shi Xiaonian refused.
When you're out and about, you should be cautious.
She plans to stay overnight at the pier and take a boat home from here tomorrow. The captain is a kind person, he gave Shi Xiaonian some money, which is enough for Shi Xiaonian to go to the hotel for one night and buy a ticket back tomorrow.
But Shi Xiaonian thought about it a little more, after she bought the ferry ticket, the remaining money could indeed allow her to stay in a hotel for one night and have a dinner, but other than that, there was nothing.
She didn't know how long she was going to stay on the boat, so she still kept this money to eat on the boat, Shi Xiaonian decided, tonight she will find a place near the dock that can shelter from the rain and wind, and will spend the night.
She found a corner, small enough to survive the night. The weather was very cold, her clothes were very thin, Shi Xiaonian curled up in one place, and she rubbed her arms with her hands.
She told herself that she had finally survived, and that as long as she persevered for one more night, as long as she persevered, everything would be fine.
She kept telling herself, so focused that she didn't even notice a black figure approaching her.
It was a homeless man, he saw Shi Xiaonian alone in the corner, he was close, and wanted to push Shi Xiaonian to commit violence, but Shi Xiaonian struggled desperately. When the two of them fought each other, Shi Xiaonian's money fell out, and as soon as the homeless man saw the money, he directly robbed her of the money, and then ran away.
The money was robbed, Shi Xiaonian's eyes were cracked, she chased desperately, but the homeless man was very familiar with the surroundings, and soon Shi Xiaonian was thrown off by him.
It was dark all around, Shi Xiaonian looked at the dim street lamps on the side of the street, she really couldn't cry.
It's so uncomfortable.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen. That goddamn bastard robbed her of her money, so what should she do?
Although her ticket is still there, what about how many days will she starve after getting on the boat?
Shi Xiaonian wasn't sure if he could hold on.
She sat down in a corner, this long night, she was cold and hungry, Shi Xiaonian almost couldn't remember, how long she hadn't experienced such a day.
The next day, she got on board with her ticket. She found her sleeper, on which she lay and slept for most of the day.
When she woke up, Shi Xiaonian was really hungry, and she desperately held her stomach, wanting to relieve the feeling of hunger. But if you're really hungry, how can you not be hungry if you don't want to be hungry?
That feeling, like a hollowed-out mountain D, there are still people there desperately drilling with wind drills, Shi Xiaonian gritted her teeth, and she decided to drink water.
Drinking water can alleviate hunger, but it's definitely not a long-term house, but there's nothing she can do about it right now.
Do you want to beg for food?
Shi Xiaonian didn't think about it, but she really couldn't pull down this face.
There was a yellow-skinned and black-eyed man sleeping in the bed next to her, and Shi Xiaonian didn't know if he was Chinese or not. Instead of going out to beg for food, it is better to borrow money from this person.
She just borrowed it, and when she got back, she would definitely pay it back to him.
But the other party glanced at her up and down, and he said that he didn't need Shi Xiaonian to pay back the money, as long as Shi Xiaonian promised him a condition.
Shi Xiaonian subconsciously asked, "What conditions?"
"Sleep with me for the night. The man bared a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his smile looked rather lewd.
Shi Xiaonian was angry, didn't hold back, and directly reached out and slapped the other party.
"Who do you think I'm for?" she was so angry, it was so insulting. Actually let her sleep with him, how did he say it? Do you want to be ashamed?
Shi Xiaonian was also too impulsive, she didn't think of what the consequences would be after she slapped the other party, and she was also anxious at that time. The man touched his beaten face, he stared at Shi Xiaonian fiercely, and said angrily: "Growing so big, it's the first time I've been beaten by a girl, if I don't sleep with you, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
She never imagined that borrowing money from someone else would lend such a disaster. Shi Xiaonian resisted desperately, she would not let the other party succeed, unless she died!
The two men scuffled, and suddenly, the door was kicked open, and the man was thrown out of the room before he could understand what had happened.
"Who are you!?I advise you to be nosy!" When the man saw that it was a woman who had done bad for his good deeds, he became fierce again. It's not that he hasn't done such a thing, he's done it before, and although these women hate him afterwards, they won't do anything to him.
Because they cherish their innocence and will not take their tarnished things to court.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the woman standing in front of her, this sudden savior, she was really grateful. She thanked her, but heard a surprised and familiar voice in her ear.
"Xiao Nian, why are you?!"
When Shi Xiaonian heard this voice, her body stiffened suddenly.
This voice is so familiar, could it be that the person who saved her is ...... Yan Yueyue?!
Shi Xiaonian raised her head suddenly, and when she saw Yan Yueyue's face, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Yue Yue ......"
The corners of her mouth trembled, she was really happy to be able to see Yan Yueyue, Yan Yueyue could come to save her in time, Shi Xiaonian was really ...... She didn't know how to say it, that kind of feeling, indescribable.
"Xiao Nian, don't worry, I'm here, you're fine, this bastard, I'll deal with him first, and then I'll catch up with you. Yan Yueyue comforted Shi Xiaonian, and after she finished speaking, her originally smiling pretty face instantly chilled.
She turned and stared coldly at the man outside the door.
