(5) Trapped in the Devil's Triangle

People often pay a heavy price for their amorousness.

That's what happens in our story.

Just after Alex asked that question, Andrew seemed to suddenly understand something, and he asked, "Young man, you don't think you're dead, do you?" ”

"Isn't it?" Alex asked rhetorically.

"It's not!" Andrew pulled Alex up, "Look at it! It's a fishing boat! I'm Captain Andrew! ”

Alex looked around, staring blankly at the seagulls circling and flying.

"Let me die! Let me die! Alex suddenly screamed, and was about to plunge into the water with his teeth and claws!

Who knew that Andrew, who was extremely powerful, grabbed Alex's feet and lifted him upside down! Andrew exclaimed, "Hey man, calm down!" What the hell is going on?! ”

Alex obviously didn't expect this to happen, he struggled all over the air, and after a while he ran out of energy.

"Young man, why are you so young?" Andrew asked sympathetically.

Alex looked at his blue eyes and immediately felt that it was better to complain.

"Life is too cruel for me...... I don't have a house...... I lost my lover...... I was also bullied by children......" Alex's eyes sank deeply, "My parents died at the hands of murderous gangsters......"

"No house, no lover, no parents, being bullied by children......" Andrew muttered as he put Alex down, "It's so pathetic!" He hugged Alex, "But, man, listen to me as an outsider, suicide must be the stupidest and saddest path you have chosen!" Think about it, how wonderful and exciting life is! God has given you so many challenges, don't you want to kill them all in one go? Hehe, if it were me, I would definitely rise to the challenge without hesitation! Hmph, what is this, life is full of wind and waves to be exciting! ”

"You don't understand my situation...... If I had the fighting spirit like you, would I still seek death? ”

"Very well, at least you've found the problem, so get your fighting spirit back, young man! Think about how exciting life is! Unknown dangers, unknown challenges, endless secrets, countless discoveries! …… Life is like a motorboat, you can't stop! Life is like Bermuda in the distance, full of unknowns! ……”

"Bermuda!" Alex said loudly.

"Yes, Bermuda, think about it, it's funny, isn't it?" Andrew stood up emotionally, "Mysterious nature, colorful nature, how many wonders are waiting to be solved, how many mysteries are waiting to be discovered!" Raise the sails of your life and embrace the mysterious natural world! ……”

Andrew was talking energetically, when he suddenly looked down to find that Alex was gone.

Andrew squinted his eyes and looked ahead, only to see Alex swimming vigorously in the direction of Bermuda!

"Oh my God!" Andrew quickly ran into the wheelhouse and drove the fishing boat to chase Alex.

Andrew's boat was a small boat, so it went fast, and it didn't take long for Andrew to catch up with Alex.

"Hey, lad!" Andrew shouted.

"Don't call me a lad! My name is Alex! Alex John! ”

"Well, Alex, don't tell me you're really going to Bermuda!"

"yes, how interesting, I can't wait!"

"Oh my God! I know it's funny, but haven't you heard that countless aircraft ships have mysteriously disappeared there? ”

"Yes, I've heard of it."

"Are you still going? It's so dangerous, you're going to die! ”

"Dead?" Alex said as he swam, "Just right, isn't that what I want?" Besides, it's so exciting to die like this! ”

"Oh no!" Andrew was devastated and said, "In other words, I still haven't been able to convince you to give up your suicide plans?" ”

Alex didn't speak.

Andrew stood in the cab with a frown.

He was thinking: Alas, can I ignore a man who is going to commit suicide?

No, you can't leave it alone. If I could save a person's life, what a good deed it would be in my life! Andrew looked up at the beautiful white clouds in the distance.

He thought quietly.

Suddenly he shouted, "Hey, Alex, there's ferocious sharks in this sea!" ”

"Where? Where is it? Alex looked around in surprise!

"Oh no!" Andrew covered his head.

"Are you lying to me?"

"No, I didn't lie to you, there really are sharks! It's not big, but it's scary! ”

"Well, I wish they came soon to free me, so that I could not only see my parents sooner, but also the sharks!"

There was silence.

Well, how can you get him to change his mind? Andrew thought to himself, maybe he really needed a trip? A journey of the mind?

So he said, "All right, Alex, please get on board." ”

"Get on board?" Alex stopped, he gasped and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Andrew laughed and said, "Let's go to Bermuda!" Hahahaha! ”

Andrew's hearty smile encouraged Alex again, and Alex cheered:

"Ha, someone wants to go to Bermuda with me?! Great, so I could have disappeared sooner! That's great! ”

Alex suddenly changed his tone and said, "But, Captain Andrew, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"Dead? Who's afraid? Andrew exclaimed, "Life is boring, I can't wait for a crazy trip!" ”

"Great!" Alex happily climbed onto the boat, "With you on board, this adventure is sure to be even more exciting!" ”

Suddenly he saw the puppy Jingle struggling to swim from a distance, and he said:

"My puppy wants to join us, do you think it's okay?"

Andrew said, "Of course you can! ”

Alex cheered: "It's perfect! ”

Two men and a dog, a gentle boat galloped across the water.

But Alex wasn't fast enough, he walked into Andrew's wheelhouse and said, "Captain, let me pilot for a while, right?" ”

In order to keep the hard-won results, Andrew had to say, "Okay......"

As soon as Alex stood firm, he directly opened the throttle to the maximum! Suddenly, the whole ship ran wild on the water like a crazy ocean starry water donkey! Andrew was not mentally prepared for anything, so he planted the back of his head directly on the deck. The puppy jingle is also very scared.

"Stop, stop!" Andrew screamed as he struggled to pull the speed lever back.

The boat is much slower.

"Hey, why not hurry? That way we could get to Bermuda earlier. ”

"Well, that's not good for a machine to be too fast......" Andrew finally came up with an excuse.

"Okay, let's slow down." Alex said as he picked up the speed a little.

"Hey, Alex, listen to an old captain, I'm more experienced than you and I know exactly where Bermuda is." Andrew snatched the driver's seat as he spoke, steering slightly away from Bermuda.

"That's not the direction you're pointing?" Alex said with a frown.

"No, it is." Andrew said, "I'm more experienced than you. ”

"But you haven't been to Bermuda at least."

"Why?"

"If you had been to Bermuda, would you have come back alive?"

"Hey, man, I'm telling you, it's actually a misunderstanding. The Bermuda Triangle is very dangerous, but that doesn't mean that all ships and planes passing through Bermuda can't survive. ”

"In other words, it's possible that we won't go missing too?!"

"Yes, it takes luck."

"Luck......" Alex muttered. He went on to say:

"Captain Andrew, to be honest I'm not very lucky, the more I expect something to happen, the more something doesn't happen. So the more I wish I would go missing, the more I might not be able to go missing, so from now on I have to hope that I don't go missing. ”

"Good."

"What did you say?"

"I mean you just do it, and I'm very supportive of you." Andrew said as he sneaked away from Bermuda's direction.

Andrew smiled because he was already confident. He said:

"Hi Alex, you know what? You're on a journey right now. ”

"Travel?"

"Yes. A journey of the mind. Andrew said, "Life is like the ship we are driving now." Sometimes, I want the wind, but I can't get it; We don't want the rain, but the rain is coming, and the more we hope to catch more fish, sometimes the fish don't gather here. In other words, in the reality of life, the dross and the essence, the favorable and the disadvantaged, the likable and the headache-inducing, are not subject to our will. Is it useful to complain? Is disappointment useful? No! What we have to do is to do it in our own way...... Go ......" Andrew suddenly couldn't think of words.

"To affect life!"

"Yes, to affect life!"

"Go change your life!"

"Yes, go change your life!"

"Go beat life!"

"Right...... Wrong! I was originally educating you, but it became you to educate me! Oh, my God! "Andrew was a little angry.

Alex thought for a moment and said, "That's life. ”

Andrew said, "Yes, that's life. Andrew turned his head and said, "So Alex you can't give in to life." ”

"Yes, I can't give in."

"So you're going to ......"

"So I'm going to ......"

"So you're going to ......"

"So I'm going to ......"

Eventually, they both shouted out their words at the same time, except that Andrew shouted, "You're going to give up and go to Bermuda!" And Alex shouted "I'm going to Bermuda!" ”

Andrew was going crazy: "Didn't you say you can't succumb to life?!" ”

"So I'm going to be brave enough to challenge all the dangers in life, like the dangers in Bermuda......"

"No, Bermuda is not a part of your life!"

"Why not?"

Alex stopped Andrew with a word.

Alex continued: "Besides, didn't you say that life was boring and that's why you went to Bermuda? Are you lying to me? ”

"No, I didn't lie to you." Andrew's eyes darkened, "Let's go, let's go to Bermuda together......"

For Andrew, the ship was desperately draining its diesel, and they had long since deviated from Bermuda's direction to an area where Andrew had not been much before.

The cute little yellow sun has been playing all day, and now it is finally tired, and it hangs dimly in a corner of the sky.

Andrew is going to be ruthless! If you can't convince this person tonight, give up completely! Let this madman go to his damn Bermuda, and I'll go back to catching my fish!"

Alex was cozy, sitting on a deck chair grilling a fish, next to him joking around excitedly.

It's time for dinner! Alex and Andrew enjoyed a few fish and a few beers together. And Ding Dong is worried about how to deal with the braised crab in front of him.

Andrew is going to make one last effort! He said:

"Hi man, to be honest, I think going to Bermuda must have been a bad decision......"

"Uh, why?"

"Well, I miss my wife, Jody...... My kids, and the puppies Frank and David...... I don't think it's time to leave them now...... Alex, don't you have anyone to worry about? ”

Alex thought for a moment and said, "My sister." ”

"Yes, your sister! Just think about how happy you are together! ”

"She sold the house her parents left behind......"

Andrew was stunned.

"She also went to Los Angeles and left me in Florida......"

Andrew sighed and said, "Alex, come to think of it, you must have someone else to worry about!" ”

Alex said sadly, "My little sweetheart Kelly......"

"Yes, Kelly! Think about it, how good she is......"

"Yes, she's just so nice. So beautiful, her beautiful eyes kept flashing before my eyes, and I even fantasized that she was right next to me right now......"

"So, what else is going to Bermuda? Go back and propose to him! ”

Unexpectedly, Alex whimpered: "I have been rejected by her!" ……”

Andrew leaned on the back of the back as if he were injured.

"Oh my God." Andrew said.

He felt that he was ultimately in vain.

"Oh, no, I have to go back!" Alex said suddenly.

Andrew jumped up from his seat.

"I remembered, I forgot to charge my mp3!" Alex added, "But I don't need anything there now." ”

Andrew slumped down in his chair.

Alas, I've done my best! Andrew thought to himself.

Give up, give up......

In the end, I couldn't save his life......

……

……

……

Under the sun, this is the world of flowers!

The white ones are like snow, the pink ones are like the glow, the yellow ones are smiling in the sunshine, and the red ones are singing in the sunshine...... The small garden is full of sunlight and makes people's eyes sparkle.

The biggest one is, of course, the sunflower! They have to face the sun and smile brightest at all times!

A hard-working gardener is not afraid of hard work, and no matter how heavy the bucket is, he can move it! Watching the rushing water flow between the toes of the flowers, the gardener smiled, and the flowers laughed.

Watering, watering, the flowers are a little thirsty.

Water, water, flowers, drink......

"Alex!" A faint voice came.

"Alex! Ya-Li-K-S! What are you doing? ”

Alex opened his hazy eyes impatiently, and suddenly, his eyes widened! How can you stand on the edge of the deck, facing the boundless sea?! Hey, why are you carrying an empty kettle in your hand?

Andrew rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It's only one o'clock in the morning, why are you getting up so early?" ”

Alex was speechless, his expression was ugly.

Suddenly, Andrew's eyes widened.

"Huh? Alex, what are you doing? How did you get the diesel canister out of the storage room?! ”

Andrew stepped forward to take the diesel can, and immediately after, a heart-rending howl came from this part of the Atlantic:

"Ahh Alex! How did you dump all the diesel in the storage room?! Our ship is running out of gas!! ”

The cold sea breeze was blowing, and the two men stared at each other blankly.

Alex stammered, "No...... That one...... I felt like I was watering the flowers in my dream, and somehow I ......."

Andrew collapsed on the deck in pain.

"Oh! God, listen, he said he was watering the flowers! ……”

Suddenly Andrew stood up: "No! We have one last chance! He quickly rushed into the cockpit and scrambled to drive the machine.

Alex followed, and Andrew said, "Trust me, I'm a weathered captain, and I'll be able to take everyone home with this last bit of oil!" ”

"Home? Aren't we going to Bermuda? ”

The ship suddenly moved, and it made a 180° turn, and Alex almost fell to the deck.

"Bermuda? Fuck your damn Bermuda! To tell you the truth, I don't want to follow you to death! You madman, all I want to do now is go home, go home! With that, he stepped on the accelerator vigorously, and the little steamer surged wildly on the surface of the sea, against the wind and waves.

But within two minutes, the sound of the ship's engine stopped abruptly.

Andrew fell to his knees on the deck in tears.

"Oh my God! Oh my! He pounded the deck helplessly with his fists, "Oh! Alex, look what you've done......"

He was wailing in pain.

Alex stood at a loss, and suddenly, he said in a reassuring tone:

"Don't worry, we'll always meet another ship, and you'll be saved."

"Other ships? Well, if I had been told early in the morning that something like this would happen, I would have prepared plenty of fresh water and food, instead of washing my feet and washing the deck with fresh water yesterday afternoon! See what we're left with? Half a barrel of beer and half a pot of fresh water, and there is not enough bait! Is it just these that we can survive the rescue of another ship that is very small? Alex, look what you've done! Oh my! ……”

In the rough and undulating dark blue sea, the fishing boat drifts like a small paper boat......

There was also a faint futile howl of jingle on the ship......
