I silently worked beside Xiaofeng's corpse for a long time, looking at this dead woman, I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my heart many times, as if I really hoped that she could turn over and come back to life. But as time passed, I finally sighed.

I didn't want to drink too much water, but I took a few small sips to quench my thirst, and after resting for a while, I felt a little more strength. I sat next to Xiaofeng, looked at her, knowing that she couldn't hear anymore, but I couldn't help but whisper to her: "Thank you!" ”

Then I picked her up, pushed her hard to the side of the boat, and let go of my hand......

Xiaofeng's body fell into the sea, slowly sank, and disappeared little by little...... I couldn't help but dip my head in the water, open my eyes in the water, and watch her sink a little bit under the water...... Her body stiffened, her arms slowly spread, and her hair was curled up by the sea and scattered.

It wasn't until I couldn't hold my breath anymore and my eyes hurt from the sea that I shrank back and lay on the boat gasping for breath.

I told myself, Chen Yang, you can't do this.

I had to push Xiaofeng's body into the sea and put it on the boat, and it would stink in the wind in the sun.

This extreme woman, she finally had a little conscience before she died...... May she rest in peace.

Originally, I was desperate, thinking that I was going to die this time, but now I suddenly got this bottle of glucose water...... In the midst of despair, people suddenly see a glimmer of hope, even if it is only a very small and subtle little bit. will instinctively use all of them to catch it!

So do I!

I don't know if this bottle of water will last me through this until I get through it alive. But at least I see a glimmer of hope now! At least I don't have to die for a while! Don't die now!

I was reluctant to drink it all at once, and only when I couldn't support it anymore did I allow myself to drink only one small sip, a very small sip!

I'm starting to fight for my own survival!

With the direction of the sun, I knew the direction and started paddling with the oars, which I was paddling to the east. As far as I can judge, at least I saw the gunboat chasing the stowaway, which is the flag of Canada, so I think my current position should not be far from the west coast of Canada......

It was pure blind judgment in despair, but I still tried to encourage myself.

I started rowing and rested for a while when I was tired, although I knew that I was trying to paddle for half a day when I encountered the currents. It's easy to get off the rails...... But at least it's better than lying back and waiting to die and do nothing!

Glucose water not only quenches my thirst, but also replenishes my energy!

With this bottle of water, I held on for another two days...... Two days later, I wasn't dead, but I had only one breath left.

His body was as soft as cotton, he had no strength at all, and he was so hungry that he couldn't even feel it...... At first, it was a painful stomach cramp, but later the stomach was no longer felt. I just feel empty. Looking at the money in that bag, I really wanted to eat the money!

But I know that if it was a blank paper, maybe I really ate it...... But the banknote, which is printed with ink, is equivalent to death if eaten.

The turning point finally came on the third day!

The mineral water bottle is empty...... Not a drop can be poured out.

I licked hard through the mouth of the bottle with my dry tongue, but I couldn't get a drop of water. But he greedily felt the tip of his tongue, as if he could have a trace of touch, and he could feel the little residual sweetness on the wall of the bottle......

The wind has changed! I looked up at the sky in surprise to find that the sun that had been basking me for so long had finally disappeared, the clouds on the horizon had begun to accumulate and thicken, and the waves on the sea had begun to become violent......

If I'm not mistaken, a storm is coming!

I was indeed thirsty and hungry. But his body was also very cold, and the whole person was numb from the cold, but at this time he struggled, picked up the bag on the ship, and tied the three bags together, which might add a little weight and be good for stability. Then I pulled the rope from the raft, carefully tied myself in two, and sat quietly on the boat, with the oars in my hand, clenched and fixed in my hand, and waited quietly for the storm to come!

The waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger, and the hull of the ship is up and down. Finally, there was a thunderbolt in the sky......

I only felt my body tremble, as if the whole sea was raging at once! A wave tossed my raft up and started the storm!

I couldn't open my eyes anymore, the rain was almost without warning, and I tried to hold my body in place, and at the same time rowed with my oars, and the rubber boat was thrown up and down like a roller coaster, and I was afraid that I would be thrown out several times, but fortunately there was a rope under my feet. I opened my mouth, but unfortunately the rain was heavy, but not much fell in my mouth.

I felt my rubber raft being tossed up and down I don't know how many times, and each time I thought I was really doomed this time! But after each time, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was still alive!

The boat is constantly rising and falling in the waves, and it may be subverted at any time! I should have been lucky, because the storm, though it came violently and quickly, disappeared as quickly as it came!

Just as suddenly as it had begun, as if after a big wave, I suddenly felt a decrease in speed, and the boat fell into a wave and gradually subsided...... The clouds cleared in an instant, the sunlight came through again, and I even felt that the light was colorful!

Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was already a lot of water in the raft! I cried out almost with joy, took out the bottle and carefully filled it first, threw myself on the raft and tried to drink it to my heart's content, and finally thought for a while......

Without hesitation, I took out a canvas bag full of money, emptied the money, and carefully filled the stagnant water with the canvas bag.

I don't think I'm dying of thirst, at least for the time being!

For the first time in my life, I suddenly felt that drinking water was so luxurious, such a happy thing!

The day that followed, my heart was filled with hope! I was already exhausted, but suddenly I felt that I had some strength again! The feeling of hunger still tormented me, but I started to pick up the oars and row again!

In the evening, I finally saw a little sail shadow in the distance!

The channel of a boat was coming towards me, and the hull was so old that I could even see the rust on it, and the sails on the mast, and the long netting devices hanging on the sides......

I immediately recognized it as a fishing boat!

I immediately got up from the raft, raised my arms and waved them vigorously, and at the same time used all the strength of my life to shout loudly!

The boat spotted me, and I was relieved that there was a very shrill whistle from the boat!

A string in my heart that has been tense for several days has finally loosened! I was like an athlete who had suddenly finished 10,000 meters, and the moment I crossed the finish line, all my strength left me, I felt my legs go limp, and my brain began to dizzy......

The boat began to shake in my sight...... No, it's not that it's shaking, it's me shaking! I tried to open my eyes, but I found that the shadow of the ship in front of me was getting blurred......

Hell, it's getting closer, but it's blurry......

I subconsciously raised my hand to rub my eyes, but at this time my body was weak...... Thump!

I fell into the sea!

The icy water covered the top of my head and poured through my mouth, and I had lost my instincts, just that it was dark in front of me...... It's dark......

*********************

A bright light shè into my eyeballs. I felt some pain in my eyes, my head was dizzy, and I tried hard to open my eyes, but I always felt that my eyelids didn't listen......

Not only my eyeballs, but I couldn't even feel my body, as if my body had been completely separated from my consciousness. I only vaguely saw what seemed to be a room around me, a flashlight flickering in front of me, and the light shining on my eyeballs.

Instinctively, I rolled my eyes a few times, and immediately heard a few chattering conversations in my ears. I regained a little consciousness and finally understood why I couldn't control my eyelids......

My eyelids were propped open by one hand......

Then the man let go of his hand, and my eyelids gradually closed, and the last thing I realized was that I saw what appeared to be a sign on the wall...... It's in English, I can't read it. But there was still some joy in my heart.

I affirmed one thing......

I'm alive!

Once I had this in mind, I fell asleep again......

***********************

“!@#$$%%$^^”

I woke up, the words in my ears made me a little dazed, I couldn't understand a word, and struggled to open my eyes and look at the people around me.

A muscular-looking man, wearing a pair of fat pants with a strap, stood in front of me, fairly clean, except with a lot of beard on his face and a very high nose, very strong, very tall.

I tried to open my mouth: "I don't understand what you're saying. ”

He saw me open my eyes and speak, a look of surprise on his face, followed by a long list of words, followed by a shout......

While he was shouting, I looked around. It was obviously a cabin, the space was cramped, it smelled fishy, and the bed underneath me was hard, but it was warm, and I had a blanket on me.

A man walked in, wearing a thick coat, somewhat dirty, and to my attention, he was wearing a hat, like that kind of captain's hat, very tall, but very thin. Holding a cup in his hand.

The man walked in, first said something to the strong man, and then the strong man went out, and the man came down to my side and handed me the cup first.

I hesitated for a moment and took it, it was a hot cup of coffee, I took two sips and felt much more comfortable.

The man looked strange, and I made sure he wasn't white. But it doesn't seem to be a purebred yellow race...... I guess it's half-blooded. I could see it from his skin, the height of the bridge of his nose, and the contours of his facial features.

Then he spoke to me, in English.

This time I understood, because what he said was very short, just a word.

"North Koreans?"

"Koreans?"

I shook my head.

He went on to ask: "Rì himself? ”

"No!" I loudly denied it.

"Chinese?"

"Yes." I nodded.

He grinned, his teeth a little yellow, but he smiled kindly. Then he stammered to me, this time in Chinese! It's not standard, and it's obviously a little stiff, a little stiff, and some of the words don't make sense, but at least I can barely understand what she means.

"Hello! Welcome...... Embarkation. Me, Captain, Wick! ”

When he said that when he got on the boat, it sounded like he was saying "go to bed", but I didn't laugh at this time. Instead, he looked at him very seriously: "Thank you." Captain Wick...... You saved my life! I was afraid that he would not understand, so I said "thank you" again in English.

At least thank you for the word, I still understand.

Thankfully, he understood me, and then he asked me a few more questions.

I hesitated for a moment and told him frankly that I was a stowaway. I don't have documents and don't speak English or French (Canada is bilingual and some of the population speaks French). At first glance, it is a stowaway.

Wick shrugged, not too surprised. Then he stood up. Looking at me, he showed a very serious expression: "Sir, you don't have to be too grateful for the act of saving you, because that's what any conscientious crew at sea would do...... But for your identity, I have to say...... You've got me in big trouble! Big, big trouble! ”

He was afraid that I would not understand, so he gestured with his hand. made a huge gesture.

"You...... Have you already reported jǐng? "I was a little nervous.

Captain Wick looked at me for a moment and shook his head slowly, "No. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and he then smiled at me: "You're lucky because you're Chinese...... So did my mother. When she was young, she was also smuggled to Canada! ”

I looked at him and didn't speak.

However, Wick's tone changed, and he looked at me very seriously: "If you're just a stowaway, I can leave it unreported and wait for us to get to the next port." You can sneak off the boat, I can act as if I don't know...... But now, you're in a big trouble for my ship! ”

I looked at him and didn't speak.

Wick took a step back and pointed to the corner, "Those, is that yours?" Are you really just a stowaway? ”

I glanced around the corner...... That's two packs...... Inside are those dollars!

I see, Wick is suspicious of my identity! It is impossible for a stowaway to carry such a huge sum of money!

"Sir, I now suspect that your identity is not just a stowaway, I even suspect that you may be a drug dealer or an arms smuggler! You know, on the sea, only these two kinds of people will carry so much money! And it's cash! ”

I had calmed down, and looking at this Captain Wick, I thought, "What are you trying to say by telling me this......

Suddenly, I saw a strange look in his eyes...... I've seen too much of this gaze lately.

It's a kind of greed!

I immediately steadied myself and took a deep breath, "Captain Wick, can we make a deal?" ”

"No, no, no, no!" He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't make deals with drug dealers!" I'm a legitimate crew member, a legitimate fishing company! ”

I laughed.

To be honest, although I have never been a crew member, I do know what it is...... How many of the crew's are really legitimate?

Especially for those who go overseas, even if they are doing legitimate business, it is very common to carry some private goods when they usually run ships. It's no secret that a lot of boaters smuggle small cargo to make extra money.

"I'm not a drug dealer." I looked at him, "My deal is also very simple. I tried to keep my smile calm: "I am very grateful that you saved my life, so in return...... I am willing to give you this money for free...... Well...... Just let me make a private donation to your fishing company. ”

I could see that this Captain Wick, though he looked serious and friendly, was actually very cunning!

He stopped talking, but looked at me quietly and listened to me.

I saw that he didn't interrupt me, and knew that maybe there was hope. I immediately explained, "I want you to fulfill a small request...... I just hope that you don't report jǐng, and then when your ship docks, you can let me ashore, and that's it. ”

Captain Wick seems to be thinking about it. His gaze wandered back and forth between me and the money in the corner.

My heart is beating......

Actually, I don't expect him to really not report jǐng...... If he is a legitimate crew member, then it is quite normal for him to report jǐng!

What I'm afraid of......

To be honest, I'm scared he'll see a fortune! It's not that I'm mean in my heart, but I've seen too many things in the past few days! To put it mildly, if he is ruthless, he will directly grasp the slaughter on the boat and still go into the sea to feed the fish, and then the money will naturally belong to him! In that case, with my current condition, I don't have the ability to resist at all!

Don't think I'm unfounded! At least the greed that flashed in this guy's eyes just now didn't escape my eyes!

I just hope he doesn't have any bad intentions. I don't care about that money at all, it wasn't my money anyway, just give it to him. As long as I can get ashore alive.

Moreover, if he accepts my money, then I'm sure he won't repay it!! Because if I'm caught by Jǐng, he won't be able to collect money!

I watched Captain Wick quietly, and finally, I saw a smile in his eyes......
