Chapter 8 Little Black Beans on the Sea
When Zhu Junyi woke up, the sky was already bright.
For three days, there was not a single passing ship on the sea. The two boys, one older and one younger, sat in the barrel, staring at the endless waves and the occasional seabird, and the excitement and joy of escaping and regaining their freedom disappeared in less than half a day, followed by boredom, restlessness, and fear of the unknown end.
According to Zhu Junyi's original idea, he made a wooden barrel row out of more than a dozen large wooden barrels, and some of the wooden barrels were used to hold water and food, which was enough for himself to drift at sea for half a month. However, all kinds of unexpected accidents made him only have to make two life-saving buckets, which was just enough for two people to survive with Gao Sheng.
But importantly, they don't have water and food. According to the knowledge that Zhu Junyi saw on the Internet in his previous life, the limit survival time of a person without eating or drinking is seven days, and he should be saved if he persists on the shipping channel for a few days. But he ignored an important condition, people can last seven days without eating or drinking are adults, and the eldest of the two of them is only ten and a half years old, just when they need to grow their bodies, and what is even worse is that they did not eat before the accident at sea.
Half a day later, they became dry-mouthed.
Zhu Junyi knew that it would not work like this, so he decided to divert his attention, and first talked to Gao Sheng about his biological father who he had never met, while recalling his mother's description of his father hundreds of times in the past, he picked and chose to chat with Gao Sheng about some things that he thought was interesting, amusing Gao Sheng, and making himself happy.
"Brother Jun......" Gao Sheng said awkwardly, "waiting for you...... When you find your father, you can give me ...... That one...... Take a bite of white rice? I...... I've never eaten it yet. ”
"Look at you!" Zhu Junyi replied a little disdainfully, "A bite of white rice sent you away?" How can I do my eldest brother Zhu Junyi with such a little ambition? To be my eldest brother Zhu Junyi, not only to eat a meal of white rice, but also to eat at least chicken, duck and fish every time, the chicken should be roasted into crispy wood, and the oil can not be left, otherwise it will be too greasy to eat, Guangzhou's salted duck is good, and it can't be compared with Peking duck! Fish don't want river fish, they are all spines, especially grass carp, eat once and prick your mouth once, if you want to eat fish, you can eat grouper, blue spot can also be considered, Liaodong's mackerel is the best, grouper, blue spot to steam, mackerel to fry and eat......"
Zhu Junyi recalled the information about eating in his previous life, and kept talking, listening to Gao Sheng dumbfounded, not to mention eating, he had never heard of it, in his opinion, it was already a happy life to be able to eat white rice.
As they spoke, the two boys couldn't help but fantasize about eating and eating meat in their minds, and their dry and bland mouths turned out to be wet, and then they salivated and tongued, and the hunger and thirst that originally filled their throats were also relieved.
It wasn't until Zhu Junyi couldn't say anything anymore that the two of them closed their mouths, each reminiscing about the fantasy of the mountains and seas.
"Brother Jun."
"Huh?"
"I don't want to eat big fish and meat, blind those good things, I still just want to eat white rice, eat a bite, keep a bite, in case you can't eat it in the future, you can take it out and eat it again......" Gao Sheng looked forward to his beautiful life, revealing a happy face.
Zhu Junyi was thinking about how to eat his stomach after being saved, and when he heard Gao Sheng's "great ideal", he laughed like a shrimp ball, bent down and hid in the barrel, for fear that Gao Sheng would see the smile on his face.
However, the sound of the barrel is very good, Gao Sheng heard a strange sound coming from Zhu Junyi's barrel, and he seemed to be smiling, but he understood, "Brother Jun...... That, you can laugh if you want! Don't suffocate your body......"
"Hahahaha......" Zhu Junyi had no scruples, and laughed heartily at the sky. He remembered the comedy sketch he saw in his previous life, and couldn't help laughing, "When we have money, buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, and pour one bowl; When we have the money, buy two fritters, eat one, throw one away......"
"What? That's how bad it is, it's not enough to eat and drink, how can you be so blind? You can't have money because you ...... Are you really like that...... That one...... That one...... Your mother won't be happy either. Gao Sheng was anxious, said a few words, and continued to laugh when he saw that Zhu Junyi didn't take it seriously at all, and simply played Zhu Junyi's mother card.
Zhu Junyi was thinking about the joke, while making a joke about Gao Sheng, he was amused by his reaction, and when Gao Sheng moved out of the mountain of his own mother, he also felt that the joke was almost enough, so he tried to keep his face shut, and after half a ring, he said to Gao Sheng seriously: "Gao Sheng, you are right, I shouldn't think about those corruption problems, if my mother is still there, I must also hope that we can live simply, Grandpa Mao said, self-reliance, hard work......"
Gao Sheng was stunned, "Who is Grandpa Mao?" Have I seen it? ”
"Grandpa Mao?" Zhu Junyi couldn't think of how to explain it for a while, so he said nonsense: "An old master in Chengxiguan is very knowledgeable, and even his grandfather often goes to his house to ask for advice. ”
"Such a learned old man ......, then we must remember his words." Gao Sheng thought for a while, blushing, very embarrassed, "What's that...... I know that I am a useless person, but I am used to living a hard life, I only know that the belly that can't eat is uncomfortable, I don't have any big skills, after your mother died, I let you starve for a few days, but ...... But I really tried my best, it was very cold in those days, few families in the city were willing to open the door, I begged from the east of the city to the west of the city, I didn't have a bite to eat, I was not old enough, I didn't have the strength, I didn't want to go to work, I ...... I'm useless...... I failed your mother and made you suffer. When you see your father, I just want to eat a full meal, and then I leave, I am a rough person, I can live without a mouthful......"
Gao Sheng's words couldn't continue, because Zhu Junyi's little hands reached over the edge of the two large wooden barrels and grabbed his sleeve, interrupting his words, "Gao Sheng!" Don't say that! ”
Zhu Junyi's eyes were a little red, and the softest part of his heart was very touched, either Gao Sheng didn't understand anything, or Gao Sheng was only a ten-and-a-half-year-old boy, or in the inherited memory, Gao Sheng did let Zhu Junyi starve, but Gao Sheng's heart for Zhu Junyi was true. Accustomed to the deceitful and hypocritical society of the previous life, and experiencing so many so-called true love and betrayal, Zhu Junyi thinks more and more that this kind of sincerity and true feelings are precious. He reflected on the chat and conversation between himself and Gao Sheng just now, and realized that he always had an unconsciously "innate" sense of superiority over Gao Sheng, and even with words that stimulated the other party, he even joked with the most sincere part of the other party in the way he got along in the later life, in the world of the previous life, this may be a kind of frolic and joke, but not in this world. Words are the most hurtful weapon, and the closer you are, the deeper the hurt. Even if he is high-minded and does not care, he will leave a faint scar in the weakest heart of the other party.
Zhu Junyi silently and soberly realized that he was in a completely different world and had a completely different life. In this life, he is not as rich as the family and friendship in the previous life, he has no mother in this life, the so-called father does not know where he is far away, has no other friends, and will not easily make true friendships, and all he has is really only one ascension.
"I'm sorry! Ascension. Zhu Junyi sincerely apologized to Gao Sheng, but he didn't want to talk too much about remorse, crying, tearing and no nutritious bread crumbs, but really open and sincere to Gao Sheng, he decided to tell Gao Sheng what he really thought in his heart, "Gao Sheng, don't be presumptuous." In this world, I don't have a mother, and I haven't seen my so-called father, who really treats me wholeheartedly, only you, the two of us have been dependent on each other for so long, you are taking care of me and raising me, you have lived up to my mother's expectations, I am now healthy, I can run and jump, I have read so many books, and I have understood so many truths that I didn't understand before. It can be said that without you, there would be no me. ”
"I told you before, the two of us live together, die together, brotherhood, never change, what I said counts. I won't change! ”
Gao Sheng felt Zhu Junyi's unprecedented seriousness and sincerity, and suddenly remembered the scene where Brother Jun was lying down in the cabin of the sea ship and carefully studying how to save himself, and the warmth surging in his heart walked all over his body, warmly, and stretched out his hands to hold Zhu Junyi together.
Feeling the other party's warm hands, Zhu Junyi began to think about it again: four little hands, two big children, there were Taoyuan three knots in the past, and now there are ...... Forehead...... The two barrel brothers.
"Also, Gao Sheng." Zhu Junyi said to Gao Sheng very seriously, "I don't want to go to my father anymore." In Gao Sheng's surprised gaze, Zhu Junyi carefully recounted his previous analysis of the sea ship incident, and finally said: "Until now, my so-called father has not come to see me, it is nothing more than two possibilities, one is that he doesn't care about me at all, thinks I'm a trouble, out of sight, and the other may be that he doesn't have the ability to come to see me." Either way, it won't change our lives for the better. Speaking of our distress this time, why did those bad guys know so much about my father's affairs? Was it inadvertently taken advantage of? I saw the intrigue in the big family in the past...... That one...... I've listened to it a lot.,The story is a big family of foxes calculating their own calculations.,I hate that way of living.,I don't want to live in that kind of environment.,The most terrible thing is that the killer he hired on his own initiative wants to deal with my trouble? If that's the case, then I'll go to my father again, and I'll go to the door myself. Therefore, about the matter of going to my father, the worst result is that he does not recognize me and wants to kill me, and the best result is that our lives remain the same, but from begging for food from a hundred families, to begging for food in the courtyard of the house, looking at other people's faces. Then why should I go to my father? ”
Gao Sheng is a simple-minded person and is used to living a simple life, Zhu Junyi's explanation gave him a headache that he couldn't turn around, and he didn't understand why Brother Jun would have so much trouble if he couldn't find his father. He will have his own thoughts on some things he is familiar with, but these truths that he does not understand at all are really true.
"But if you don't go to your father, how will you live?"
"In the past, we relied on each other in Guangzhou, and there was nothing to do with that father at that time."
"But we are all children, I don't want you to live like before, I am a child of a poor family, but you have read books, I heard people say when I was a child, everyone who has read books is Wenqu Xing, how can Wenqu Xing suffer with me?"
"I often whisper in your ear about things in books, although you haven't read them, but you have heard them! You can suffer, why can't I? Zhu Junyi gradually instilled his will in Gao Sheng, "What's more, this trip out, I feel that I have grown up, not as stupid as before, I don't know anything about reading and reading, I think I have wisdom, but I am too young, our two children are together, cooperate with each other, but live more freely." ”
Gao Sheng said that he couldn't say that Zhu Junyi, and felt that Zhu Junyi would have a better life if he went to his father, but he was moved by what he said, and felt that his words were not unreasonable, but it seemed to be different from his own thoughts. But no matter what, just as Zhu Junyi can't do without Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng is unwilling to leave Zhu Junyi, if they can rely on each other together, it is naturally better than being separated.
The two and a half children held a meeting on two barrels in the South China Sea to confirm their development plans for the next five years, until one fell asleep and the other closed his eyes.
The first day passed without faith, no miracles, no surprises, but the relationship between the two children became closer and closer.
The next day, Gao Sheng still had the energy to face the sea and mumble to himself, and occasionally discussed life with Zhu Junyi opposite. Zhu Junyi stood in the sea water of the wooden barrel for a day, and he didn't want to say a word. Seawater is no better than freshwater, Zhu Junyi feels that he has a sign of dehydration, and maybe he will become the first person ever to be soaked in seawater into kimchi.
On the third day, the two children didn't say anything, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.
Gao Sheng was weakly half-squatting in the barrel, and due to the diameter curve of the barrel's jujube kernel type, he couldn't sit completely in the barrel like Zhu Junyi. Half of his head was exposed outside the barrel, and he could only occasionally turn his head to observe the sea, and every time he hoped to be able to see anything like a ship at the edge of the sea and sky, but every time he couldn't see any floating objects, Gao Sheng even felt that there was something wrong with his eyes.
But this time, Gao Sheng felt that he had really seen a boat, and it should be a big boat, because it slowly enlarged from a small black bean until he could clearly see a strange symbol printed on the sail that he had never seen before.
"Brother Jun! Get up quickly......" Gao Sheng cried out weakly, there was no reaction from the bucket opposite, he barely used the last bit of strength in his body, stretched out his arms to pat the edge of the barrel, "There is a boat coming!" Brother Jun...... Come and see...... We were saved......"
