Day 129, the only option (3)
The non-stop rowing of the night was not in vain, we were far away from the island, and by the time the sun rose, we could no longer see the island.
Xiao Hei is not very used to floating on the sea, and this continuous undulating raft may not make him feel very comfortable, but there is no way, it is better than being stewed.
Back soreness, numbness in the legs, hand pain, this night is simply empty, the whole person's strength is emptied, and the sea is now blowing a breeze, which can be used to drive the boat forward.
Midakang is already asleep, and I am still insisting, in order not to miss every opportunity to call for help, we are now staggering the rest time and taking turns to rest.
At first, I was fine, but now after a night of hard work, coupled with the warmth of the sun, my eyelids don't listen. If I lie down, I should be able to fall asleep right away.
We did a decent job of this raft, the buoyancy was quite large, and occasionally the sea water would be pushed up by small waves, wetting our clothes and pants. Discomfort is for sure, but it's nothing.
The garbage that drifts by on the surface of the sea from time to time lifts my spirits, and each time I wait with anticipation for the dark shadow to grow bigger and turn into a passing ship, and each time it turns out to be just a fantasy.
Lightning always looks heartless, and likes to pester little black ...... It's just that Xiao Hei may not be very happy because of the small place......
Looking at the seagulls in the sky, I began to think about what was wrong...... The eyes gradually closed, but the subjective consciousness kept telling me that I can't sleep, I must not fall asleep.
This process is very painful, I don't know how I have persevered until now, after a long time, there is no freshness at the beginning, the reflection of the sun on the sea is dazzling, although the mouth is dry, but I have been suppressing myself, in the middle there is a bottle of water, but only half of it is drunk, and the other half is left for Xiao Hei and Lightning. They may also feel the preciousness of this fresh water, but they did not waste any water that was fed to them in the bottle cap.
"It's hard work, I'm much better, you rest, now I'll come ......" Midacon's voice suddenly came.
"Whew, okay. "I won't say more, I'm really sleepy, I'm scared and tired from yesterday to now, and I feel like I'm about to be able to endure it.
I believe I should have slept in seconds, lying down without a trace of distraction, even if the waves hit the water and soaked my clothes, it couldn't stop the sleepiness......
When I woke up again, it was completely dark, but there was no cover on the sea, the stars in the sky were so clear, I had never seen such a bright starlight, and the moonlight on the sea made the whole environment beautiful.
"Whew!" I sat up.
"You can eat something and rest, it's me. I said to Midacan.
"I'm not tired yet, it's fine, wait a little longer, I can't sleep now. Midakon glanced back at me.
"Okay, then I'll get some food, you haven't eaten yet. ”
"Okay, thanks. Robb, do you think we have a good chance?" Midacom's tone was a little wrong, and he felt rather depressed.
"Brother. You don't have to think about it, you see, we don't have any retreat at all now, we can only hold on, for both of us, in any case we can only believe that the chances are great, otherwise everything before will be in vain. Believe in yourself and believe in luck. Haven't we always been lucky?"
"Ha, yes, you're right, even if we don't have a chance, we have to believe that there is a chance. He nodded as if in an epiphany.
If you give up on yourself, then there is really no point in talking about anything else. "Again, I emphasize.
"Well, okay, then I'll have a good rest, you've worked hard, we'll definitely find a boat to rescue you." ”
……
It is said that the lonely night is particularly difficult, and it is true, except for the roar of the waves, there is almost no other noise in the ears, and there are no seabirds all the time at night. My mind went back to when I first came to the island......
I didn't know how I survived, but I admired myself at that time, and the consciousness of survival made me burst out of superhuman bravery, and finally survived on this island alone for so long.
Later, when I met Midakang and them, it was not easy to survive the shipwreck, but in the end, the only people who were able to leave the island smoothly were me and Midakang, which is really a sad thing.
These things flashed through my mind like a movie fast forward, as if it happened yesterday, and these few months seemed to be condensed......
……
The second day at sea, sunny and breezy. Still didn't see any boats, and we still rested on time. Blackie and Lightning went down to the sea to swim a few laps when they were bored.
On the third day of the sea, it was cloudy, and the wind began to pick up, and the direction of the wind became chaotic, and we drifted about in a while, and our oars did not do anything at all, and several times the waves lifted our rafts.
On the fourth day at sea, there was a light rain, and from midnight the wind was heavier than the day before, and our raft still held on, but there were some unusual noises, which should be normal for us to discuss. The raft was still supported, but we were a little worried that the wind would get stronger behind us.
On the fifth day at sea, it rained heavily, and the weather began to get worse, and the wind and rain were so strong that the waves almost threw us off the raft, and we did not dare to sleep or move all day, and clung to the raft tightly.
On the ninth day at sea, it was sunny and breezy, and the last heavy rain only lasted for one day, which was really lucky, otherwise even if the raft could support it for two consecutive days, the two of us would not have been able to hold on at all. The wind was okay today, and we've been drinking a little more water than expected lately, because I underestimated Blackie and Lightning's ability to drink water when I counted.
On the fifteenth day of the sea, it was cloudy, windy, and the waves were half a meter high, and we were all wet, Xiao Hei and lightning were hugged by us, and it had been hit by the waves once, but fortunately, it swam back, and we were in a very bad state, and we didn't find anything at all during this time, not even a passing ship. Hope is getting slimmer.
On the twenty-second day at sea, there was no food, Midakang was in a state of condition, he didn't get up for two days, he didn't even have the strength to move, and I was much better than him, if it hadn't rained a few times before, I had filled some empty bottles, and now the fresh water would have been gone. But not much now.
On the twenty-third day of the sea, heavy rain and strong winds......
The twenty-fourth day at sea, torrential rain, strong winds......
……
"No ......"
