Chapter 6: Surviving in the Fire
Hearing Gao Sheng's forbearance, Zhu Junyi understood Gao Sheng's current mood very well, and the experience of being a human being in two lives made him understand his family and affection better than Gao Sheng. And what is even more obvious is that in this life, at present, Zhu Junyi is only left with a relative who can rely on each other and rely on him.
The hull of the ship suddenly trembled, as if it had hit a wall, and the whole hull seemed to brake sharply.
Zhu Junyi was hit on the stairs by the whole child, and a large piece of his cheekbones immediately arched, he endured the pain, went around to the front of the stairs, but stepped into the water with one foot, didn't care about his feet, and asked Gao Sheng anxiously: "Gao Sheng, how are you?" Did it hurt? ”
Gao Sheng was instantly crushed by the rough wood on his chest, he endured the pain, did not make a sound, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine!" Brother Jun, don't think about saving me, you can escape by yourself! I...... I'm fine...... You go! Come on! ”
Zhu Junyi guessed that Gao Sheng must have been injured, and he was anxious, and suddenly felt something, realizing that the iron anchor that fell into the sea before should have hit the bottom, and the water under his feet was ......
He observed the walls of the cabin in the faint light, and found that the sea water had overflowed the bottom compartment, and there were several floods on each side of the bulkhead, which should have caused the wood of the hull to be distorted and deformed by heat, causing the bulkhead to crack and appear to be flooded. But Gao Sheng is now head-to-toe, and if the water continues to flow upward, Gao Sheng is in danger of drowning.
After a short period of trade-offs, Zhu Junyi decided to take a risk, he lay down next to Gao Sheng's head, and said hurriedly: "Gao Sheng, you bear with it a little longer, the sea water will overflow your head, you hold your breath for a while, the sea water will drag up the wood, at that time we will work together, you will be fine." ”
The tears in Gao Sheng's eyes had been wiped away by him, he looked at Zhu Junyi firmly, nodded and responded: "Okay, I will hold my breath!" ”
Zhu Junyi picked up a wooden stick from his side, waded into the sea water in a few steps, found one of the deformed bulkhead cracks, and tried to insert the wooden stick into it, but found that the wooden stick was bigger than the crack and could not be inserted at all.
Zhu Junyi glanced back at Gao Sheng, who was also looking at him. This is really a gamble, you can't see the outside situation in the cabin, once the water inlet is too large, the speed of the sea water is too fast, not only can not save Gao Sheng, but you can't escape, and if the speed of the water can't catch up with the speed of the seaship turning over, then when the boat turns over, even if the two people can still hold on, they will die because of lack of oxygen if they are not drowned.
I can't think about it so much, Zhu Junyi pried the bulkhead plank, usually, a child like him who is only four and a half years old may not be able to pry the gap between the planks even if he tries his best, but the sea ship has endured several hours of scorching and fire, the original tension of the wood, the torque of deformation and the pressure of the seawater have formed a delicate balance, at this time any little external force will destroy this balance, so after Zhu Junyi exerted his strength to eat, the gap between the bulkheads became larger, and the turbulent sea water shot into the cabin like an arrow. Washed Zhu Junyi into the seawater.
It didn't take long for the sea water to gradually overflow the braids, forehead, nose, and mouth of the rising hair, and the entire upper body was immersed in the seawater.
Zhu Junyi was anxious, got up in the sea with difficulty, dug the water to the side of the mountain with all hands and feet, held the rough wood with his hands and feet and lifted it up, and his hands in the sea water also pushed upward. Once, twice, three times...... Zhu Junyi felt that the force on Gao Sheng's hands was getting smaller and smaller, and finally, the rough wood loosened with the buoyancy of the seawater, and Zhu Junyi pushed it down and sank into the sea water with all his might.
Exalted saved! Zhu Junyi was overjoyed! Dancing excitedly like a child, but Gao Sheng didn't move, "Gao Sheng! Zhu Junyi slapped Gao Sheng's thighs that were still exposed on the seawater, feeling like riding a roller coaster, but Gao Sheng still didn't react, grabbed Gao Sheng's hand and pulled it up violently, but there was still no response.
"Ascension! Get up! You bastard, I won't allow you to sleep here......" Zhu Junyi cried very sadly, he didn't know whether this inexplicable emotion came from his real self or the second Zhu Junyi, he was just very sad, very sad.
Zhu Junyi is not used to this kind of emotionality, even in the previous life, it was only in Yang Qi's office that he lost control of his emotions and really went berserk. Looking at the motionless rise in the seawater, Zhu Junyi thought inexplicably: "Shouldn't you let a big boy do artificial respiration?" He was ruthless, grabbed Gao Sheng's arm with both hands, and opened his mouth to bite hard at the tiger's mouth.
There was a tumbling of the sea, and a man's head suddenly rushed out of the seawater, spat out several mouthfuls of seawater, and then took another breath of air, and then coughed incessantly. Turning his head to look at Zhu Junyi, who was six years younger than him, Gao Sheng's eyes were very complicated, mixed with excitement, palpitations, emotion and heart-to-heart.
Zhu Junyi snorted happily, "I knew you wouldn't leave me!" But the two little ones didn't have time to be nostalgic here, so he took Gao Sheng's hand and led the way to the deck, Gao Sheng followed closely behind. The two children went on deck, and the fire was already difficult to control by the wind, and the whole deck was full of fire.
Zhu Junyi shouted to Gao Sheng for help, and the two and a half children worked together to push the simple but good life-saving bucket into the sea, jumped into the sea one after another, and then grabbed the barrel body left and right, and climbed into the two big wooden barrels with cooperation.
Although Gao Sheng's figure is much bigger than Zhu Junyi, but after squatting down, it is just right, Zhu Junyi is in trouble, the height of the barrel is about the same as his height, and he barely exposes a complete head when he stands in the barrel.
Zhu Junyi prepared a few planks and ropes in the barrel in advance, just used for paddling, the wooden barrel of Gao Shengcheng was heavier than Zhu Junyi's, he took the wooden plank and only stroked a few times, this simple life-saving bucket almost lost its balance, until Zhu Junyi regained his balance after pouring waist-high seawater into his bucket with the help of the waves. Gao Sheng started work left and right, three times and five strokes rowed far away, the sea boat behind him suddenly came with a hoarse loud noise, the two looked back, the sea boat finally capsized, the bottom of the boat full of sea gourds swayed and exposed the sea, not half an hour, the bow of the ship was unwilling to tilt upward, randomly sinking into the sea, never to be seen again.
After a long time, the innocent and cheerful laughter of the two children came from the sea, which lasted for a long time.
For a long time, Gao Sheng looked at Zhu Junyi with emotion, "Brother Jun...... I...... Thank you......" Gao Sheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, and finally only said thank you.
Zhu Junyi smiled, smiled very happily, with a very smug look on his face, and laughed at Gao Sheng: "You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say, don't thank me, because I want you to owe me all the time!" On the day you owe it to the heavens, you always remember that it was me, a prodigy six years younger than you, who saved you! ”
Gao Sheng smiled shyly, "I ...... I owe it to you! "I owe you my mother, all the time! Gao Sheng said silently in his heart.
Zhu Junyi's small body barely put a pair of arms outside the barrel under the buoyancy of the seawater in the barrel, and sang Liu Huan's "Song of a Good Man" while beating the waves very coquettishly.
"The great river flows eastward
The stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
A bowl of wine at the intersection of life and death
Let's go
You've got me, you've got it all, wow
Hey, hey, hey, all of them wow
There is no turning back in the water and fire
When the road was uneven, he roared
Shoot when it's time to shoot
Wow in Kyushu"
The consciousness is in his twenties, but the body is still four and a half years old, and the immature voice is really earth-shattering. The experience of being a human being in the second life is not bad so far, escaping death is not something that he can experience in the previous life, and he not only survived the catastrophe, but also rescued a friend and a brother of his own, which not only proves that he can show his strength in this era with his mind and knowledge, but also recalls the expression on which Gao Sheng looked at himself just now, Zhu Junyi knew that Gao Sheng would not turn his back on himself in this life.
If this is really a dream, then this dream is too real, too wonderful, full of a sense of accomplishment, thinking about the life that I spent in college in my last life around women, it is simply a waste of youth and life. Zhu Junyi thought of Chunrui, Zhang Yilan, Yang Qi and Mr. Zhang, who used money to snatch love, and suddenly had a sense of pleasure in raising his eyebrows and being reincarnated.
In this life, with my knowledge and wisdom, I want to get ahead, I want to be drunk on the knees of beautiful women, and wake up to the power of the world! Don't be a no-brainer with no money, no status, no power, I want it all to disappear!
Zhu Junyi squatted in the wooden barrel to think about what was wrong, Gao Sheng just looked at him with confusion and surprise, and at the same time there was an unprecedented joy. The little brother in front of him has been like a fledgling in the past few years, accepting the protection of his biological mother and himself, gentle like a little scholar, except for reading, he has never liked the games and activities that children of the same age love, and now he feels completely different to himself. How so? It's like a ...... has been injected into the body Crazy, a ...... Unfettered freedom! Yes, it's a kind of free-spiritedness, a feeling that has never been experienced before. Thinking of the thrilling scene in the sea boat just now, looking at the "life-saving bucket" under him, Gao Sheng's expression was different when he looked at Zhu Junyi again, full of admiration for Zhu Junyi's wisdom and strength, and a kind of inferiority complex and loss.
“…… Brother Jun......"
"Huh?"
"That...... You don't seem to be the same...... I can't tell, anyway...... It just doesn't feel the same. Gao Sheng explained awkwardly.
Zhu Junyi didn't know how to explain everything that happened to him, so he simply didn't think about it, he knew Gao Sheng's personality, and he didn't want to really scare him, so he said to Gao Sheng half-truthfully and sincerely: "I also feel different!" Ascension! I seem to have grown up! It's not that I've changed, it's the environment that has changed, but, Gao Sheng......" Gao Sheng responded in a timely manner, and Zhu Junyi continued: "No matter how I change in the future, I recognize you as an elder brother, and our brotherhood will never change!" ”
Gao Sheng was moved to cry when he heard this, Zhu Junyi is also his only brother and only relative, he wanted to say something but felt poor in words, unable to express his heart clearly, and at the end, only one sentence popped out, "The song just now is very good!" ”
"Mother's teaching! It seems to be a northern tone, if you like it, I'll teach you to sing! Zhu Junyi continued to talk nonsense casually.
"That ......," Gao Sheng suddenly turned his head and whispered, "You'll have a lot of stuff." ”
When the two brothers depended on each other in Guangzhou, Gao Sheng took care of Zhu Junyi in every way, protected him, took care of him, at least did not let Brother Jun suffer from freezing and starvation, at that time, he was confident and more determined. However, when faced with the strength and complex dangers of pirates, his weakness and Zhu Junyi's wisdom subverted Gao Sheng's perception of the protector and the protected, and Gao Sheng sprouted a kind of inferiority complex and loss. Gao Sheng is not like Zhu Junyi, who was at least born in a scholarly family, his mother and maternal grandfather were both scholars, he grew up in a tenant family since he was a child, and when he was less than five years old, his parents died of hunger, he began a life of wandering and begging, mixed in a group of gangsters, and suffered a lot of bullying, until Jun Ge'er's mother took him in, in his memory, no one ever needed himself, only Jun Ge'er, and now ...... This made him uncomfortable and even more overwhelmed. It was only now that I suddenly realized how much I longed to be needed by others.
Zhu Junyi looked at Gao Sheng's expression and said with a little seriousness: "I have read a lot of books before, you know, everything I know is seen from books!" At a glance, he understood Gao Sheng's thoughts, and sometimes, putting himself in the other person's shoes to think about the situation will better understand the other party's thoughts. Zhu Junyi understood this truth in his previous life, he knew very well why Gao Sheng asked this, and after considering the language, Zhu Junyi continued to explain: "Actually, you usually know more, when we were bullied by those bad boys, if you hadn't protected my head, I wouldn't have known how to die, and the big yellow dog in Aunt Zhang's family always likes to bite me, and only you know how to get rid of that brute......"
Zhu Junyi agitated his nail mouth and iron tongue, without any malice but used his cleverness to awaken Gao Sheng's self-confidence, and his tongue was bright for a while, which made him also surprised that he was so eloquent.
"Books?" Gao Sheng was silent, and after listening to Zhu Junyi's explanation, he felt a little better, but after all, he was a ten-year-old child who had tasted warmth and cold, and he still had his own ideas. After a long time, he said weakly to Zhu Junyi: "That, Brother Jun, I ...... I want to read too...... Can you teach me? ……”
"Of course you can!" Zhu Junyi was very happy, "I'll teach you everything I know!" ”
Gao Sheng looked at the elated look on Zhu Junyi's little face, and there was a warm current flowing in his heart, the experience of being in distress at sea made Gao Sheng realize the weakness of his strength, but Zhu Junyi's weak body burst out with amazing wisdom and strength, which made him ashamed of himself at the same time, but also made himself have a strong enterprising spirit. If you are a father watching your children finally one day stop relying on you and become independent of society, you will understand the painful joy of this pain. However, Gao Sheng is only a ten-and-a-half-year-old child, he still has decades to live, he hopes that he can have the strength to protect his relatives, protect Brother Jun, just like Miss Liu treated herself, and give Brother Jun a sense of security again.
A big bird flew in the sky, and Gao Sheng couldn't name it, but he was very envious. He clearly felt that after this scene of escaping from the sea of fire, it seemed that everything around him had changed, and he seemed to be very moved and more grateful for this change.
