Chapter 348: Worry about women
And Lin Jiayi was weak, and fainted several times on the way because of lack of water.
Therefore, in the next few days, the task of rowing was handed over to Shen Jiwen and the old man, and Wang Zhitao still played the role of captain and mastered the rudder.
However, the only thing that makes everyone feel relieved is that God is still very face-saving to them, and it has been calm for the past ten days.
However, the Sand Island of Huangyan has always been far away, and in this endless sea, it is a cruel test for people's spirit and body.
"Hold on, everybody, there should be two days left."
Wang Zhitao put up a pergola in his hand, stood on the bow of the boat and stood on tiptoe looking at the distant road.
Shen Jiwen's heart had already begun to become anxious, everyone had been floating at sea for twenty-one days, five or six days longer than expected.
"I said Captain Wang, I've heard you say this N times, but I haven't seen Huangyan Sand Island until now. Honestly, are we lost? ”
Shen Jiwen walked over and stood beside Wang Zhitao, stared carefully into his eyes and asked.
Wang Zhitao subconsciously dodged, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he was silent.
When Shen Jiwen saw him like this, he proved what he thought in his heart, although he had been mentally prepared, his heart was still full of frustration and despair.
However, Wang Zhitao is also a good intention, when everyone feels helpless, he has rich sailing experience, he naturally wants to say something positive.
At this time, Lin Jiayi and the old man also heard the conversation between the two, and they all froze on the spot, and suddenly an atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire raft, making everyone feel breathless.
Wang Zhitao said apologetically: "I'm very sorry that I couldn't take everyone out, I'm sorry." ”
Shen Jiwen put his arm around Wang Zhitao's shoulders and said, "Don't say that, Brother Wang, you can't be blamed for this, when we left the island, we were mentally prepared in our hearts." Besides, the sea is no better than the land, and it is unpredictable, so let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”
The old man and Lin Jiayi also walked over.
"Yes, Brother Shen is right, we will do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. Well, let's not talk so much, it's time for lunch, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to meet a boat before dark. ”
Lin Jiayi stroked the hair that fell on her forehead, turned around and handed a large piece of rabbit leg to Shen Jiwen's hand, looking at him with beautiful eyes.
"Brother Shen, you are catching fish and rowing boats, eat more to make up for it."
How could Shen Jiwen not see this Lin Jiayi's thoughts, Lin Jiayi's posture was not inferior to Li Beibei and Mu Cangjie, and because she was a geologist, she still had an intellectual beauty that other women did not have.
But the thought that he already has five or six women is already a headache to deal with, and if he continues to introduce them, he is about to form a reinforcement company.
However, Shen Jiwen has a fatal weakness, that is, he will not refuse women, especially beautiful women.
Thinking of this, he reached out and took the rabbit leg handed over by the other party and ate it in a big bite, but after a few bites, he stuffed it into Lin Jiayi's hand, and then said that he was full.
Lin Jiayi caught up, staring at each other with beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and caress Shen Jiwen's already thin face, and said, "Brother Shen, you have lost weight." Don't be tough, eat, I'm not hungry. ”
Shen Jiwen gently held her hand, and the wind and sun on the sea for days and days made Lin Jiayi haggard, but it was still difficult to hide her beautiful face.
"Why don't you? However, there is no need to lose weight in the future, and I don't know how many girls dream of having a devilish body like you. ”
Shen Jiwen joked.
It makes this oppressive atmosphere a lot lighter.
Lin Jiayi smiled and said, "Okay, after I go back, I will hold a weight loss training class, and after receiving the students, I will take them to this isolated island, and the name is Lonely Island Adventure." ”
"Okay, when we get back. Wang Zhitao and I were the first to sign up. ”
The old man put his arm around Wang Zhitao's shoulders and said.
Lin Jiayi waved her hand and said, "Then on behalf of the company's board of directors, I will welcome the first batch of students, and in order to show our sincerity, I will give you a twenty-percent discount." ”
When the old man heard this, he cried and said, "It's only eight folds, this is too low." How do you get a seven-point nine-fold discount? ”
A few people laughed, dispelling away a lot of the fatigue and fear of the journey.
The weather at sea is unpredictable.
In the afternoon, there was a heavy fog on the sea, and the visibility was less than ten meters, and although Shen Jiwen and the old man had amazing eyesight, they could only see about thirty meters in front of them.
When sailing on the sea, the first fear is to encounter a storm, and the second is the fog.
"It's foggy, and if you don't get it, it's going to change soon."
Wang Zhitao was worried.
When it comes to changing the sky, everyone can't help but think of the storm they encountered some time ago, if they do it again, who knows if they can meet a desert island like last time.
"So, what are we going to do? Isn't it impossible to get out? ”
Lin Jiayi suddenly sobbed helplessly, Shen Jiwen also sighed, gently took the other party into his arms, and looked at the vast white mist around him, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, in the face of the power of nature, he would also have a feeling of powerlessness and insignificance.
The old man just crouched silently on the bow of the boat, sighing for a long time.
A desperate feeling rose in everyone's hearts, and Shen Jiwen felt that death was so close to him at this moment.
Time passed little by little, and the fog did not give birth to the slightest pity because of the despair in everyone's hearts, but grew bigger and bigger, and in the end, the visibility was less than five meters.
However, the wind picked up on the sea, slowly blowing away the fog, the visibility became clearer, and the line of sight became more and more open.
Only then did I realize that it was already dark at this time.
But contrary to everyone, Wang Zhitao's face became more and more condensed, Shen Jiwen's heart sank, thinking of what the other party had said before, he came to Wang Zhitao's side and said, "Brother Wang, is it going to change the sky?" ”
Wang Zhitao looked at the night without a single starry night, and said: "The weather at sea is unpredictable, but after the fog, there will be a storm, and there will be no deviation." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled thunder from a distance, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and there were already raindrops falling, getting heavier and heavier.
The old man angrily scolded God for not having long eyes, but after scolding, everyone still bent down and walked into the simple cabin to shelter from the rain.
The clattering thunder kept exploding overhead, the waves were getting bigger and bigger, and the raft was like a lone leaf, ready to be overturned at any moment.
At this time, I only heard a bang, and the mast outside was actually broken by thunder, and it fell on the raft with a bang, because the materials that can be used are limited, the raft is not very strong, and it is easy to say on a sunny day, but once it encounters such bad weather, it naturally can't support it for too long.
At that time, several ropes were broken, and two pine logs fell off the raft, and in the blink of an eye, they were swept away by the wind and waves.
The raft was shaking violently, and there was a possibility of being overturned by a wave at any time, Lin Jiayi's face turned pale, and she grabbed Shen Jiwen's arm tightly.
Crack, a few more ropes broke, four pine logs fell off the raft again, and the three-meter-wide raft was now less than two meters left, and the cabin had begun to crumble, and could be lifted off at any time.
At this time, Shen Jiwen was pleasantly surprised to find a little light in the distance, and there was also a blurred black outline.
"Look at it, old man. Is that thing up front a ship? ”
Listening to Shen Jiwen's surprised and excited voice, in addition to the old man, Lin Jiayi and Wang Zhitao's eyes also looked in the direction pointed by Shen Jiwen's finger.
However, Lin Jiayi and Wang Zhitao didn't find anything.
However, the old man's mouth trembled, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Yes, it is a boat, it is really heavenly, great, let's row over quickly." ”
Wang Zhitao and Lin Jiayi knew that the two of them were clever, so although they didn't see it, they didn't doubt it, so they immediately walked out of the cabin, came to the bow of the boat, and mastered the rudder according to the direction pointed by the old man.
And Shen Jiwen and Lin Jiayi were paddling desperately, but fortunately, there was not much wind and waves on the sea now, and it was a tailwind, so the speed of the raft was relatively fast.
After about five minutes, Wang Zhitao and Lin Jiayi vaguely saw a little light, and immediately shouted excitedly, and at the same time, the eyes of the master and apprentice became admiring.
Especially Lin Jiayi, in addition to admiration, there is more admiration in her eyes.
Soon, Shen Jiwen and the others rowed the raft to a place less than 100 meters away from the boat, and the outline of the boat could be clearly seen at this time.
This is an ordinary freighter with a length of about fifty meters, and it is heading in another direction, Shen Jiwen and the four of them are rowing and shouting for help, but at this time, there is already a strong wind on the sea, and their voices are difficult to pass through, and it is estimated that it is not easy to be discovered by the other party's boat.
Seeing hope, Shen Jiwen and the others rowed faster, and the other party's boat was moving quite slowly, so they could barely catch up, and quickly shortened the distance to thirty meters, and at this time, the boat seemed to have discovered their small raft. Instead, he changed course and headed towards them.
Slowly, Shen Jiwen rowed the small raft, and finally came within ten meters of the boat.
I saw that on the other deck, there was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, and at this time, the man looked at Shen Jiwen and the others vigilantly, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
However, when he saw Lin Jiayi, his eyes lit up obviously, followed by a flash of greed.
What he said was actually Garfield, Shen Jiwen and the four of them were stunned for a moment, it was really a narrow road, and they didn't expect to meet Garfield's boat.
However, soon Wang Zhitao walked out, and said to the man with a hopeful face: "This friend, we were originally fishermen who went out to sea to fish, who would have thought that we would encounter a typhoon and lose our way, please give us a ride, grateful, of course we are grateful, we will send 100,000 yuan." ”
