Chapter 526: Danger Strikes Suddenly
The sun rose, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the vast Pacific Ocean, on the lonely lifeboat, and on the sleeping Yu Wenli.
Yu Wenli was awakened by a strange burst of heat, and couldn't help but open her eyes in a daze, and found that it was already three poles old, and the lifeboat was swinging forward lightly. She hurriedly lifted the coat wrapped around her body, stood up from the cabin with a grunt, and looked at Xu Wenlong, who was paddling hard, and complained: "The sun is all drying your buttocks, and you don't call me to get up." "After a good night's sleep, she was much better and looked good, but her stomach was very uncomfortable.
Xu Wenlongtou said without replying: "Hungry, there is water in the cabin and sashimi, you can eat and drink without letting go of your stomach." ”
Yu Wenli looked down, only to find that there were several piles of fish and meat neatly stacked at her feet, and on the side of the meat pile were most of the crystal clear precious fresh water. However, at this time, she didn't want to drink water, she just wanted to eat some fish as soon as possible to satisfy her hunger. She washed up in the seawater, grabbed the bloody minced meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it without chewing. While eating, she suddenly put down the fish in her hand, looked at Xu Wenlong who was rowing with her eyes, and said word by word for a long time: "You, didn't sleep last night?" Is it just for fishing? Fishing is important, but isn't there still me? How can you do it without sleeping? Where does the strength to row without sleeping? If we don't row, how can we find Sister Shiqi? Can you find her by stopping here? ”
Xu Wenlong slowly turned his head and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and replied, "Sleep, I will sleep soon after you fall asleep." I didn't start fishing until I woke up. ”
"Liar!" Yu Wenli looked at Xu Wenlong with a tired face and said, "Seeing that your face is blue and your eyes are bloodshot, I know that you must not have rested well last night." ”
Xu Wenlong really didn't rest well last night, he only took a nap before dawn, and then he was busy preparing the day's food, and then he looked at the northwest direction, opened his arms and rowed hard, until Yu Wenli woke up and didn't take a breath. But at this time, he didn't want to argue with her, so he just turned his head to look at the white sea in front of him, and said in a melancholy tone: "I think it's time for you to learn swimming skills." At the very least, you have to learn to float in the water, and not sink straight to the bottom like a stone. ”
When Yu Wenli heard this, she couldn't help blurting out: "Oh my God, do you want me to learn to swim?" In this bottomless sea? Aren't you afraid that I will be drowned? And there is no swimsuit, so I go to school naked? Won't you be ashamed! Xu Wenlong wanted to explain, but he didn't want Yu Wenli to pout and mutter: "Okay, just learn, it's better to be ashamed than to drown!" If there is another storm or rough seas one day, I honestly don't want to be a water ghost in the sea, let alone a shark's meal. ”
Xu Wenlong was naturally relieved to see that Yu Wenli understood the powerful relationship and saved himself from trying to lobby. He then said to her as he paddled, "Then you should eat quickly, and rest for a while after eating." By midday, when it's the hottest and hardest, you'll start practicing swimming. ”
"I don't need to rest, I've had enough rest last night." Yu Wenli swallowed a mouthful of fish hard, picked up the hook in the boat and said, "Fishing is the most important thing!" I've got to get plenty of food for us. ”
Xu Wenlong nodded, and did not force her, only rowed the dinghy and continued to sail forward.
The sun is scorching, the sun is dazzling, and in the blink of an eye, it is the hottest time of the day.
Xu Wenlong stopped rowing and jumped into the sea shirtless, playing like a swimming fish. After swimming for a while, he poked his head out of the water and shouted to Yu Wenli on the lifeboat: "Come down, come down and I'll teach you how to swim." ”
Yu Wenli was overjoyed when she heard this, and promised a "yes" in her mouth, and unbuttoned her clothes conveniently on the ground. She was dizzy from the sun, she couldn't breathe, and she wanted to jump into the sea to cool off. Just unraveling it, she suddenly turned red again, and then stopped puzzled, squirmed and looked at Xu Wenlong in the water and said, "Then you come up quickly." I'll go down when you come up. ”
"How can I teach you ...... when I come up" Xu Wenlong paused, and then understood her intentions. This little devil knows that he is shy. He smiled, grabbed the side of the boat, and leaped onto the cabin, drenched in mud and water. wiped the water droplets from his body a little with his clothes, sat down and gulped down the fresh fish he had caught a short time ago, and said to Yu Wenli while eating: "Go, hurry up." In fact, swimming is not very difficult, as long as you soak in the water for a long time, you will naturally understand the key. Just like the children in our mountain village, every summer dusk, they all jump into the mountain pond and reservoir, and no one teaches them at all, and no one even cares. And although you are swimming in the deep sea, I will always be by my side, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be in any danger. ”
Yu Wenli smiled, quietly moved behind Xu Wenlong, and unbuttoned her clothes again: "Should it be...... There will be no sharks. If a man-eating shark comes out of nowhere, I'm done. Without waiting for Xu Wenlong to answer, she said as if comforting herself: "Alas, it doesn't matter." If you don't want to drown and choke to death, you have to take a little risk. But you don't have to be lazy, you have to be my observer, and keep a close eye on the sea. If you find danger approaching, you should immediately notify me of the warning. ”
"No problem, I'll keep my eyes open and watch the surface of the sea and never let any sharks come near you." Xu Wenlong scooped a jar of water and drank it, wiped his mouth and assured with confidence.
"Talk counts, I'm giving you my life! Also, I can only monitor sharks in the open sea, and I am not allowed to peek at me in the near distance! Yu Wenli said, quickly took off her clothes and pants, jumped into the sea naked, and crackled the water on the side of the lifeboat.
Xu Wenlong was full of food and drink, and touched Yu Wenli's changed clothes from behind him, washed them slightly in the seawater, and then wrung them out and spread them on the side of the boat. The midday sun is strong and it dries in less than half an hour. In this way, when she is tired of swimming and gets on the boat, she will have dry clothes to wear. After drying the clothes, Xu Wenlong had nothing to do for a while, so he leaned on the side of the boat with Yu Wenli on his back, silently looking at the sea where the water and the sky meet......
Yu Wenli learned to swim for the first time, but she didn't grasp the essentials, and she couldn't swim in the sea like Xu Wenlong, so she could only flutter blindly on the side of the boat. Every time she was physically exhausted, and her body sank straight down, she reached out and grabbed the lifeboat, screaming and gasping. It wasn't until she was exhausted and choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater that she screamed, "I'm coming up," and then climbed up the side of the boat with difficulty, not even bothering to wipe the water droplets on her body, and collapsed in the cabin with her clothes on, snorting and panting with her mouth open.
Xu Wenlong looked at her pale face and asked with concern, "How is it?" Okay, right? ”
Yu Wenli rolled her eyes and replied angrily: "What can't be done, if it weren't for saving my life, I wouldn't have learned to swim if I was killed." This is the real thing...... It's so hard to learn, but it exhausts me to death! ”
Xu Wenlong glared at her, raised his leg to cross the fresh water of the boat, grabbed the oars on the oars and said, "Have a good rest, eat those fish and meat for a while, and of course you can also eat some canned beef." After eating and sleeping enough, we continued to practice at dusk. ”
"Okay!" Yu Wenli snorted weakly, glanced at Xu Wenlong who was rowing hard, and then lay down on all fours in the back cabin of the boat......
After paddling in the sea for a week, apart from the occasional sight of a few giant seabirds flying in the air, I didn't even encounter a desert island reef in a barren land, let alone any ships or planes passing by. However, Xu Wenlong was not surprised by this. Because he knew that he had deviated too far from the normal course, and the Polaris shipwreck search and rescue team had nothing to count on. They must have been successfully deceived by the pirates' tricks, and at this time they should launch an all-round search and rescue more than a thousand miles ahead. He used the compass on the dagger to determine the direction, and slashed in the northwest direction day and night. In addition to Yu Wenli's half-hour swimming practice at noon and dusk, and her own napping time of less than three hours at night. And Yu Wenli is different, she is angry every day, and she curses the heavens and the earth all the time. Angry at where those pirates had gone, cursing at the abominable search and rescue team for not even seeing a shadow. But after two or three days, she also accepted her fate. The temper is gone, the anger has also subsided, and he honestly devoted himself to swimming practice, and he has made a lot of progress, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger. In order not to delay the time to chase the pirates, she even tied a rope around her waist and tied one end to the lifeboat to swim along. Thankfully, for a week, they didn't encounter a terrible storm or encounter a ferocious man-eating shark. On the contrary, a few light to moderate rains without warning allowed them to unexpectedly collect enough drinking water, plus Yu Wenli's fishing was also very smooth, and there were more or less harvests every day, so they basically didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. The only regret is the lack of salt in the food, which makes Yu Wenli often look at the sashimi and make it almost difficult to swallow. But this is not difficult for Xu Wenlong. He emptied and cleaned the front compartment of the lifeboat, and then added an appropriate amount of seawater, and after being exposed to the scorching sun, he could collect a thin layer of white grains, which successfully solved the salt problem, which made Yu Wenli really happy for several days.
On this day, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, the Pacific air was fresh after the light rain, the breeze was light, and the waves were gently chasing and jumping, like a naughty child. It's another rare good weather.
Xu Wenlong got up before dawn and rowed, rowing for several hours, sweating profusely and not taking a breath. But he didn't feel sleepy or tired at all. He has only one thought in his heart, that is, no matter what, he wants to find the evil pirates, no matter what, he wants to rescue his beloved Liang Shiqi, even if it is to go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, even if it is to go to every corner of the Pacific Ocean.
"Come on, come on, I'm going to overtake you!" With a burst of cheerful laughter, Yu Wenli, who was tied with a rope around her waist, poked her head out of the sea and loudly encouraged Xu Wenlong to keep moving forward. She started going to sea when the sun was getting hot, and she kept swimming with the lifeboat. Because she had a safety rope attached to her body, she was not worried about sinking to the bottom of the sea at all. It wasn't until she was tired of swimming for a long time that she would climb the stern of the boat to rest and let the lifeboat carry her forward. Once she had adjusted her breath, she let go of her hands and jumped into the sea, continuing to chase the dinghy. This repetition has made her swimming skills greatly improved.
"Chao, you show me." Xu Wenlong originally wanted to push back Yu Wenli to test her swimming skills. It wasn't until the words came out that I suddenly realized that the girl was wearing nothing, and I couldn't help but regret it in my heart.
Sure enough, Yu Wenli, who was behind her, immediately retorted: "Villain, liar, don't you know that people don't have clothes?" Want to see all this? What's there to see? Tell me honestly, did you peek at me? How many times have you peeked at it? Say ...... Say."
Xu Wenlong accidentally poked the hornet's nest with a word, and simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Fortunately, Yu Wenli is a heartless and fun-loving person, and what she usually says is actually out of an instinctive counterattack and confrontation with others, especially against Xu Wenlong. I don't know if they are enemies in the past life and enemies in the future. So when she was chattering and chattering in the back for a long time, but found that the other party didn't say a word and only cared about rowing, she immediately stopped talking with interest, and turned to shouting and reveling in her swimming experience.
The noise disappeared, the roots of his ears were quiet, and he no longer had to hang his heart to be criticized and fight, Xu Wenlong couldn't help but take a long breath, regained his spirit, and rowed the lifeboat hard, driving forward at an unprecedented speed......
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of him, and then the calm sea immediately splashed and the waves rolled and did not dissipate for a long time.
Xu Wenlong was taken aback, hurriedly threw down the oars, stood up with a huff, and put his hand on the pergola to observe carefully......
Yu Wenli was startled, and quickly pulled the rope to swim to the lifeboat, poked her head out at the stern of the cabin and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? Could it be a shark...... Here comes the sharks......"
Xu Wenlong waved his hand with his back to Yu Wenli, signaling her not to speak. He stretched his neck wide and kept his eyes wide open as he continued to search the sea......
"Boom", with a flash of silver light, a giant sea fish jumped out more than 100 meters in front of him. This fish is silvery-white and large, with a length comparable to that of an adult. After jumping out of the sea, the sea fish immediately drew a graceful arc in the air, and then plunged into the sea, stirring up countless splashes that flew in all directions......
"Shark! Great white shark! Get on board! Xu Wenlong screamed and pulled out the dagger from his waist with a whoosh......
