Chapter 537: Help
After Xu Wenlong finished eating the piece of fish, he felt a little better in his stomach. But he was still very hungry, still thirsty, and what made him especially anxious and anxious was: what will he do tomorrow? What will happen tomorrow? Tomorrow's tomorrow? According to the current situation, how many days can two lonely people survive tomorrow? He looked at the small half catty of fish meat left beside him, and frowned into boundless troubles and deep thoughts......
Yu Wenli lay quietly on Xu Wenlong's knees. The night was very late, but she did not feel the slightest sleep, and silently watched the stars in the sky with a pair of godless eyes. She shifted to lie on her side in a different position, and said in an almost dreamlike voice, "Tomorrow...... Will it rain tomorrow? ”
When Xu Wenlong heard this, he hurriedly comforted her and said, "Yes, yes, it will definitely rain tomorrow!" ”
"That'...... Will there be flying fish again tomorrow? Flying fish without shark hunting? ”
Xu Wenlong wanted to tell her that the spectacle of flying fish was relatively rare. Even if they did, they must have been attacked by ferocious fish on the bottom of the sea, otherwise they would not have jumped out of the water and flew into the air. But in order not to disappoint Yu Wenli and be pessimistic, he still told her against his will: "There will be, and there will be flying fish without sharks!" Because the shark was full, it swam somewhere else. ”
"That's good!" Yu Wenli breathed a sigh of relief, blinked her eyes and said hopefully, "As long as it rains tomorrow, as long as there will be flying fish tomorrow, we have the possibility of being rescued." Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, we might meet a passing steamer! In this way, Sister Shiqi will be saved! ”
Xu Wenlong's heart ached, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. Yes, Shiqi, the dearest and most beloved Shiqi, where are you now? How are you doing now? He silently turned his head, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with the grief in his heart: "Yes, we will be rescued soon, and we will be able to save your sister Shiqi soon!" ”
"Well, we will be rescued soon, and we will be able to save Sister Shiqi soon!" Yu Wenli nodded vigorously, her eyes staring at Xu Wenlong, who was strong and sad.
The moon sinks in the west, the stars fade, the sea and the sky are obscure, gloomy, and indescribably depressed and depressed.
Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli sat and lay down, both waiting silently in the lifeboat, struggling to survive. They survived the dawn and waited until noon, but the ideal miracle did not come. There were no ships, no rain, and there was not the slightest sign of an island on the horizon. On the contrary, the day they have been waiting for is extraordinary and very different. It's hotter than ever, it's dreary than ever, it's more breathless than ever.
Yu Wenli was deflated, desperate, and annoyed, she took off the clothes covering her head, stood up from the lifeboat tremblingly, and screamed at the sky with all her might: "Damn God, bastard God, God who has been stabbed by a thousand knives, why are you so bad?" Why don't you get a little rain? Are you really that ruthless? Are you really going to die of thirst for us? I can tell you, if I am dying of thirst by you, I will not let you go, and I will definitely come to trouble you......"
Xu Wenlong glanced at Yu Wenli, who was yelling, gasped and said lightly: "It's better to save it, stop messing around." Isn't it good to save some energy? Maybe there will be a big school of flying fish waiting for us to catch at night? How can you row if you don't have the strength? ”
"Liar, you and the god who killed a thousand knives are liars!" Yu Wenli glared at Xu Wenlong angrily, and continued to scream at the sky, "You said it would rain today, why haven't you seen the shadow of rain yet?" Liars, you are all liars! ”
Xu Wenlong wanted to comfort her a few more words, but before the words came out, his heart sank suddenly: It's bad, that girl has been dizzy from thirst, and she has begun to behave abnormally, which is very bad. Thinking of this, he hurriedly struggled to get up, hugged Yu Wenli, who was screaming and scolding wildly, and said to her like a child: "Okay, be obedient, don't complain anymore." Let's rest well, wait slowly, and save a little strength to shout when the ship comes. ”
Fortunately, Yu Wenli was only on fire for a while, and she just wanted to vent her resentment and anger. Plus hunger and thirst, but how can you have extra strength to toss? It's all to the point where they are shaky and unsteady on their feet. Now that Xu Wenlong came to persuade her, she was also calm and peaceful, and followed him back to the cabin, and fell on him softly and did not move.
Xu Wenlong was worried that Yu Wenli would be thirsty, so he quickly took out the canned food box from his backpack, took out the fish eyes inside, stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Eat, don't faint from thirst." It's going to be troublesome if you faint, and even a heavy rain won't save you. ”
Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong silently, and said to him softly: "Don't patronize me, can you eat one too?" Otherwise...... Otherwise, I'll feel bad! ”
"It's okay, I'm fine, I won't be thirsty at all!" Xu Wenlong tried to squeeze out a smile, and replied as much as possible by pretending to be relaxed.
After some blind tossing, Yu Wenli didn't have the strength to deal with Xu Wenlong, so she only sighed softly, slowly opened her mouth, chewed her fish eyes, and slowly closed her eyes in the comfort of a sweet spring passing through her throat and cooling her heart and spleen.
Xu Wenlong looked at Yu Wenli, who was unkempt and almost lost weight, and a lingering sense of guilt surged in his heart. Poor girl, it's hard for you. He muttered in his mouth, gently picked up Yu Wenli and put it on his lap, and then lowered his head and took a silent nap.
The sun was hot, the heat was steaming, and there was not a hint of wind on the sea, and it was the hardest afternoon since the distress.
Slowly, slowly, as if Tiangong had opened his eyes, a huge dark cloud slipped quietly out of nowhere, slowly obscuring the dazzling sun, and making the sultry white sea suddenly soft and cool.
"Is it dark? How is it so fast today? Yu Wenli, who was so hot that she couldn't breathe, moved her body, closed her eyes and asked weakly.
"Really? Is it that fast? Xu Wenlong slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at the sky, "Ah...... It's going to rain, it's going to rain! Your god didn't lie to you! Look, open your eyes and see, there is a dark cloud floating in the sky, the sun is covered by the dark cloud, and it is about to rain! ”
"Lie to me, God is dead, how can it be so good to us?" Yu Wenli chattered in her mouth, her eyes slowly opened a slit, then she opened widely, and finally she tried her best to get up, bowing and composing to the sky and said, "Almighty God, I'm really sorry, I offended you with my nonsense just now, you have a lot of old people, and the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, but don't be surprised." I'm going to apologize to you, you must forgive me. In fact...... In fact, you are the kindest, loveliest, and most sympathetic God in the world. So when it thunders for a while, don't slash at me. You have to go far into the sea, and it's better to blast a fish or two. Please, please, I will definitely reward you with three animals when I have the chance! ”
Xu Wenlong hurriedly walked over and hugged Yu Wenli, and said to her: "Don't be stupid, how can there be any god in the world?" It's just a coincidence. Don't you see that it's unusually hot today? This is a sign of a heavy rainfall. So, don't be blind here, just wait for the water. ”
Boom, a huge thunderclap rolled through the sky, causing the eardrums to buzz. It was so powerful and powerful that it seemed to explode the entire sky.
Yu Wenli's legs were weak, she fell to the ground, and said to Xu Wenlong with a white face and a trembling voice: "It's over, it's all over now, God is angry, and he will definitely kill me with a big string of scorched thunder in a while." Even if the scorching thunder can't die, it will definitely burn me to death with a chain of lightning! In short, I can't escape its punishment anyway! ”
Xu Wenlong was startled, and quickly leaned down to pinch her ears, patted her face, and said in an anxious tone: "Wenli, what's wrong with you?" Are you hungry? Or are you thirsty? Don't scare me! ”
Yu Wenli grinned, tried her best to get up from the deck, threw herself into Xu Wenlong's arms, hugged her tightly and shouted: "I'm not crazy, I'm not confused, I'm just too happy for a while, I can't control myself!" But I did blame God for it, and I have to apologize to it. What do you think? I'm going to scare you to death. ”
Xu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped Yu Wenli to sit back on the deck, waiting for the arrival of the rain with joy.
Click, boom, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and a muffled thunder rang out in the air. In the blink of an eye, the rainstorm poured down in the sky, playing beautiful music, jumping happily and smashing into the satin-like sea, stirring up white water lotus flowers.
"Quick, drink water, don't waste it!" Xu Wenlong opened his mouth, gulped down the rain that fell from the sky, and swallowed it non-stop. The hearty and extremely happy expression, as if drinking not water, but the world's most beautiful and mellow elixir.
Of course, Yu Wenli didn't need to command, let alone urge, and she didn't even care about the shyness and embarrassment of the soaked clothes clinging to her body in an instant, and she raised her head when the heavy rain fell, and happily drank the fairy liquid and sweet rain given by God.
The rain continued to fall and showed no signs of stopping. Luckily, it was just a thunderstorm, and there were no strong winds or waves that followed. Otherwise, for these two people who have just escaped from the sea of suffering, they will undoubtedly fall into a fatal abyss again.
Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli drank enough rainwater, and both stood on the lifeboat like dumb geese, letting the big dry split head cover their faces and water their whole bodies. They are rejuvenated, they are refreshed, they are still very weak, they are still very weak, they are still very weak, and they are still unable to move freely. But who can experience the joy and hope that is ignited in the heart? After all, they themselves have not yet woken up from the wonderful "Huangliang Dream".
Suddenly, Yu Wenli, who was standing still, screamed violently, Zhang Tian threw his arms hard at Xu Wenlong, hugged his waist tightly and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank God, thank Jehovah, thank you to all the great gods who have passed by, we are finally alive!" I can live a few more days! ”
Xu Wenlong was also happy, he patted Yu Wenli on the shoulder, and said to her very happily but calmly: "Rest for a while, rest for a while, don't get too excited." Let me collect the water in the cabin first, but don't get dirty. ”
"Well, you're busy." Yu Wenli wiped the rain from her head and stood on the side of the lifeboat very obediently.
Xu Wenlong followed the previous method, removed the rear compartment partition, enclosed an independent compartment in the middle, and then carefully scooped the water from all over the place into the compartment with the palm of his hand, and soon scooped up most of the compartment.
"Now you don't have to worry about running out of water to drink!" After Xu Wenlong finished collecting the water, he leaned on the side of the boat and said tiredly.
Yu Wenli sat down next to Xu Wenlong, leaned on his shoulder and said happily: "Yes, the days without water to drink are really sad for her grandmother, her stomach is like a fire burning, and her throat is so dry that it kills people." ”
Xu Wenlong glanced at Yu Wenli and did not criticize her for speaking indiscreetly and swearing. He pulled the backpack beside him, took out the half box of canned food and handed it to her, "Eat, you can eat more now." ”
Yu Wenli opened her eyes wide and asked strangely, "Why?" Why is it okay to eat a little more now? Don't you save it for the toughest of times? ”
Xu Wenlong took out the remaining fish from his bag again, and replied while eating: "If you have water, you are not afraid of wasting your physical strength." After a while, the rain stopped, and I was able to go into the sea to catch fish. With a little more time, you can always catch one or two. ”
"Really?" Yu Wenli was overjoyed when she heard this, lowered her head and picked out the largest piece of beef from the canned food box, handed it to Xu Wenlong's mouth and said, "Come, eat a piece, and when you are full, you can catch fish." I will also follow, and the two of them will work together to catch a 300-pound fish. In this way, we no longer have to worry about eating and drinking. ”
"You don't have to bother, just sit in the lifeboat and command. Besides, according to our current physical condition, even a 30-pound fish can't be caught, let alone a 300-pound fish. Xu Wenlong gently pushed away the beef, shook his head and said to Yu Wenli, "You can eat, I'll just eat fish." ”
Of course, Yu Wenli knew that she didn't have the strength to go to the sea, but she just spoke without her brain. She held the beef high in one hand and begged with the other: "Eat, can you just eat a small bite?" Ah, from this, from this, and then along the middle, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Xu Wenlong shook his head and replied categorically: "Don't push it around, just give me that fish eye to eat." ”
Yu Wenli rolled her eyes, withdrew the beef in her hand, and lowered her head to exchange for the fish eyes in the can. Suddenly, her heart moved, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her face. She then stretched out her other hand, gently pinched the fish's eyes, and slowly handed it to Xu Wenlong's mouth and said, "Come, open your mouth ......"
Xu Wenlong didn't know what to do, so he opened his mouth very obediently.
Yu Wenli was secretly happy in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her hands at the same time, and quickly stuffed the fish eyes and beef into Xu Wenlong's mouth. Then he looked at him with a smile and said, "Eat, good boy, it's good to work when you're full." ”
Xu Wenlong glared at Yu Wenli, bit his upper and lower jaws lightly, and immediately stopped his mouth like an electric shock, looked at Yu Wenli with annoyed eyes and said, "You...... How can you ......"
Yu Wenli laughed, shrugged her shoulders and said with a hippie smile: "Me? What's wrong with me? Did I hit you? Did I scold you? Not really. But don't try to make any mess of it, let alone spit out the meat. Because no one will eat what you've eaten! I won't! After all, I'm not your wife, and I'm not your girlfriend. If you eat it, don't you shame others to death and laugh to death? ”
Xu Wenlong listened to her serious nonsense, and he didn't vomit for a while. hesitated for a long time before slowly eating the fish eyes and beef with a pair of copper bell eyes. But not to mention, the taste is truly incredible, more memorable and memorable than any delicious food I've ever had.
