In the summer of 2005, I took the college entrance examination for the first time in my life, and I filled in the first and second choice columns with environmental monitoring, but the admission letter I was waiting for was marked with an interior design major. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I didn't want to enter the society too early, nor did I want to participate in the high school reunion, I just wanted to finish the four years of college naturally.

My family lives in the countryside, surrounded by mountains, and the newly built three-story bungalow, with stone steps in front of the house, and then a small bridge and flowing water across the countryside.

In my free time, I always like to lean on the balcony and watch my elementary school, which is a habit that I have always developed and I don't even know when it started. Even after many years, things are wrong with people, but I still have this habit.

Today is the 21st of January, this year's winter came very late, after the first snowfall, ushered in the annual vacation, this is also the fifth year after my graduation, I avoided the crowded Spring Festival, packed my simple luggage alone, and hid in a country with a suitable climate, which is a country where fat is beautiful, and when men attend banquets, they love to wear a skirt called "Farah Farah".

After arriving at the destination, I was picked up by a local tour guide who had made an appointment in advance, took me to a resort hotel with a more elegant environment, waited for me to check in, handed me a homemade travel brochure, handed me the room card, and said I wished you a pleasant trip and left.

Closing the door, the vision of the room darkened, I put down my luggage, walked straight to the window, reached out to open the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and the noon sun shone directly through the glass. The thermometer hanging on the wall shows the local temperature, which is twenty-five degrees. I packed my luggage briskly, took my room card and went out, and walked a few steps around the corner to the elevator.

Because the process of waiting was a little boring, I took out the manual given to me by the tour guide, walked into the elevator while watching, turned around and raised my eyes inadvertently, just when the elevator door was about to close, the elevator on the opposite side also opened at this time, revealing an extremely familiar face, I was shocked and tensed my body, stunned to watch the door gradually close.

When I returned to this level in a hurry, the man was gone. I rushed to the front desk unwillingly, showed my ID card and asked the waiter to help me check if there was a gentleman surnamed Li who also lived here. The waiter shook his head at me with a smile and replied kindly: "Miss Min, I'm sorry, we don't have the gentleman surnamed Li you said here." ”

I forced a smile and explained, "I must have been mistaken just now, I thought I had met an acquaintance, and it was okay." ”

The waiter asked sweetly, "Miss Min, is there anything else you need?"

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders to say there was no more problem.

It's really thinking day and night, even in the daytime, he has hallucinations, this is Tonga, located in the South Pacific waters, how could he be here. I sighed: Min Suyi, you are just strangers who grew up together, that's all.

When I arrived at the western restaurant in the hotel, I ordered a steak and hastily solved the famine in my stomach, I don't know if the local taste is not suitable for me, or what happened just now affected me, and most of the lunch was left, which was not at all my usual style of big stomach.

In the afternoon, I went back to the room, changed into a simple black and white striped vest dress, with a powder and blue silk scarf tied at the ends of my hair, carried a lemon yellow bag in my hand, very summery, brought a white crystal bracelet, pedal sandals, and hiked to the beach near the hotel. I rented a recliner, drank chilled coconut water, wore black glasses, quietly blew the sea breeze, and squinted comfortably to pretend to sleep.

And under my calm appearance, my mind was active, listening to music and thinking about tomorrow's cruise, and in the morning the tour guide helped me book a three-day special ticket. The cruise departs from the harbor and travels around the islands via Tongatapu, Vava'u, Hapai and Niue, stopping at specific islands along the way, allowing visitors to spend some time sightseeing.

Here the blue sea, blue sky, white sand beach, strolling on the beach of Tonga, the surprise is not only these, here you can do not bring any communication tools, you can experience the most pristine island scenery, in such an isolated place, you can find "true self".

On this luxury cruise ship carrying more than 300 passengers, people laughed and enjoyed the freshly roasted suckling pig, and the restaurant exuded the fragrance of palm leaves; on the deck, tourists can be seen relaxing their facial expressions, leaning on the cyan railing, admiring the calm and traceless sea; on the diving platform at the stern, divers have already put on diving suits with the help of the staff, and are carefully checking the equipment and oxygen cylinders for launching at the moment.

The morning sun pours on the sea, and the junction between the morning light and the sea seems to be plated with gold.

The cruise ship was moored in the sea of Vava'u Island, and I listened intently to the masters who had returned from the dive yesterday afternoon, and passionately depicted the corals in various forms on the bottom of the sea, and when they dived to the cave**, there were mysterious beams of light.

The companion who came with him pointed to the tourist guide to let us see, and loudly dismantled his platform, and said with a smile: "That's because the sea here has high visibility, and when the bright sunlight hits the mouth of the cave, the sea refracts the sunlight into beams that shine with the change of ripples." ”

The master finally brought out some atmosphere, and he ruined it, and immediately laughed and scolded: "Fatty, I remember that you are a landlubber, how to say, I also witnessed its magic." Everyone laughed at the fat man's evidence, looked past him, raised a glass to the master, and encouraged him to continue.

Perhaps the comfortable and leisurely environment can most paralyze people's nerves, and no one knows that a disaster is quietly brewing at the bottom of the sea. The hull of the ship slowly rotated in one direction without warning. This subtle anomaly was ignored by the crew's self-righteous experience, and no one bothered to report it to the captain who was resting.

In the control room at the bow of the ship, the monitoring instrument suddenly went black, and before the crew on duty dialed the captain's phone, the speed of the ship's rotation suddenly accelerated, and the crew did not stand firmly, and instinctively grabbed objects in a panic, and the mobile phone was thrown into the corner.

In the dining area, the cups and plates on the table were shattered to the ground, the sea water was ignited to a boiling point, the sea was rough, and the tourists standing on the carapace plate, a few who had no time to evacuate, were ruthlessly thrown out and fell into the roaring sea, and did not know where to go.

People are facing sudden changes, the ship instantly fell into chaos, everyone screamed and cried wildly, I am no exception, fortunately by the force, rolled into the cabin, I lost my mouth and looked out of the cabin with tears in despair, yes, I saw clearly, one of the people who was thrown out just now was the one I met at the elevator yesterday, my first love!

I tried to get up, but my body lost its center of gravity, and collided with the people around me, and there was a mess in front of me, the smell of blood on the tip of my nose, and the sound of violent collision and fracture. As I struggled and stumbled to the railing, my heart tightened as I looked down.

He was still alive, with a lifebuoy under his arm, and a white light on it, and when he saw someone on the boat looking down, he quickly blew the whistle with a string tied to it, and his body was suddenly hit into the sea by the huge waves, and suddenly he stubbornly surfaced out of the sea.

I looked around anxiously, searched the hull of the nearby ship with my eyes, swept my eyes over the cabin, and someone waved at me at the window, trying to prevent me from doing such a dangerous act! At this critical juncture, I didn't care much, grabbed the railing and leaned out, just in time to find a lifeline hanging from the side of the cruise ship.

At this time, the sea was strange and calm, and I was glad that there was already a crew member rushing over under the command of the captain, one of whom put on a life jacket for me, and the others tied ropes and were disembarking for rescue. I wept with joy in the desperate situation, and with trembling hands I clung to the captain beside me, and in broken English, I pleaded with him with reverence to pull up the people floating under the boat quickly.

But the sea water suddenly changed color, the blue water turned red, not far from the ship, a whirlpool appeared, at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually expanded, the captain's face changed, and quickly ran to the bow of the boat, "Quick, there is a big whirlpool, quickly drive the boat away." ”

All the crew members gave up the search and rescue work at hand, and half of the people who slid down the rope also hurriedly climbed back.

I tried my best to hold the captain, who turned back and glared at me: "It's no longer about saving people, it's about making sure that people who have hope of survival are out of danger, I'm the captain, and I have to know how to make trade-offs in times of crisis." ”

The captain's words were like a slap in the face, and I stood still, my hand thrown away by him, and my fingers scratching at the air in vain, and there was no reason to convince them, and no one would be distracted to persuade me, such a man who did not know how to make trade-offs, and did not know how to work for the survival of others.

Listening to the whistle one after another, I turned my head and red eyes, resolutely followed the rope, slid awkwardly halfway, my hand fell into the sea, my left hand wrapped around the end of the lifeline, just when my right hand was about to touch his outstretched hand, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, pulling him far away, tried a few times, the length of the rope in my hand has reached the limit, the boat is also full horsepower at this moment, and sails away in the opposite direction of the whirlpool at full speed.

As we grew farther apart, he suddenly withdrew his hand and gestured goodbye to me.

I let go of the rope and threw myself at him with a smile, it was the whirlpool that pulled us into the unknown darkness, and it was the whirlpool that made me hold hands with him for the first time.

He cried and asked me, "Why are you so stupid, you obviously ......"

I stared into his eyes with tenderness I had never felt before: "The reason is long, are you willing to hug me with the rest of our time?"

Seeing the tears welling up in his eyes, I hugged him tightly: "I haven't called you brother since I was a child, in fact, I don't want to be only your sister, and I'm afraid that you will face the darkness alone, I can't bear it." ”

He rested his head on my neck, suppressed his emotions, and gradually lost his breath, I subconsciously tightened my arms, and at the moment I just wanted to hug each other like this, "I'm so dizzy... Good... Dizzy, remember to wake me up in a moment. ”

Day 2 Press Release: A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the South Pacific this morning, triggering a tsunami warning.
