Chapter 63: Overboard
When the whale approached rapidly, Anne suddenly developed a deep-sea phobia caused by "Jaws", and she was so nervous that she clung to the cable attached to the boat. When the whale flung its tail on the boat, Yi Annie fell into the icy water with the tilting hull, and instantly felt like her heart was stopping.
Fortunately, she had already grabbed the cable before, and this time she flipped off the boat, although her hand was somewhat uncontrollably released, but the cable was still tied in a knot on Yi Annie's wrist, and she was suspended.
Yi Anne swallowed two mouthfuls of bitter and astringent seawater, from her nose to her throat to her lungs, and before she could struggle, she stepped on something hard under her feet, stopping her from falling.
It's obviously in the deep sea, how can there be something under your feet?
But soon, Anne reacted, and what was at her feet was probably the whale just now.
Before she could think about it, she was grabbed by the wrist that was hanging from the boat and pulled up.
Looking through his teary-eyed vision that was stimulated by the cold seawater, the captain looked anxious, handed Yi Annie over to Wang Yuxin to take care of, and then controlled the assault boat to drive back quickly.
Yi Annie didn't fall into the water for a long time, and the choking was not serious, most of them were still frightened, and finally came back to her senses after a while.
All three of them wore one-piece waterproof suits, and Wang Yuxin and the captain were just doused with water. Coupled with the previous time when the boat overturned, there was a lot of water in the assault boat, and Yi Annie was still lying down, so the whole person was soaked in the cold seawater.
As a result, coupled with the falling water just now, Yi Annie's waterproof suit has a lot of water on the neckline, and now it is a little shivering and shivering.
After Wang Yuxin scooped up the water in the assault boat, and helped Yi Annie take off the waterproof suit and the wet clothes inside, the captain took out a thin blanket from the waterproof material box and asked Yi Annie to wrap it.
Yi Annie sat up, put her hand on the bottom of the boat, and actually touched a cold and slippery thing, first startled, and then found that there were actually two small fish on the boat that had just been driven by the whale.
They had been wandering slowly at sea for more than an hour, but when the captain had sailed at full speed and had gone straight ahead, they had returned to shore in less than fifteen minutes.
On the way back, the captain had already informed the people on shore via radio intercom.
At this time, it was the owner of the previous gift shop who was holding various blankets in his hands to dry clothes.
"Are you alright?" He first helped Anne ashore and added a blanket to her.
Yi Annie shook her head silently, and then held back a sentence: "The main thing is still cold ......"
Wang Yuxin, who was helped off the boat by the captain behind Yi Annie, was not much better, she was also frightened, but fortunately, she watched too many horror movies, and her nerves were as thick as Yi Annie, and she gradually recovered.
The captain is basically covered in water, but he is also a person who goes to sea every day, and his psychological quality in this regard is much better than that of the two girls.
He helped the shopkeeper put the two girls into the pickup truck parked in front of the store: "Let's take them to the motel to take a hot shower and rest." ”
The shopkeeper was naturally ready, and when Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin sat down and fastened their seat belts, they drove away in the dust, and arrived at the motel in less than two minutes.
It was only past eight o'clock, and the passengers in the motel basically did not get up.
The door to the front desk office was opened from the inside, and the old lady who had cooked for Yi Annie and the others in the morning poked her head out, and she recognized that the car at the door belonged to someone from the town, so she asked, "What is your car doing so early?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly got out of the car: "The tourists who went out to sea to watch whales fell into the water today, you can help open a room for them to take a hot bath." ”
It is an unusually big event for a tourist to fall overboard, and as far as the old lady knows, there seem to be only two tourists today, who left her motel just over an hour ago. On another look, it was a guest who had left the motel more than an hour earlier.
Yi Annie had regained some strength, got out of the car by herself, and greeted the old lady: "I'm sorry, can you open it for us again in the room we just vacated?" ”
The old lady saw that Yi Annie's hair was wet and her lips were pale, so she nodded quickly, turned around and went to the front desk to get the key to open the door for Yi Annie and them.
Yi Annie, as the most miserable person, was not polite, and when the old lady opened the door, she rushed directly into the bathroom first.
In the hot water, the chill was dispelled little by little, and when her body was completely warm, Yi Annie put on the bathrobe prepared by the motel and went out of the bathroom.
Their room was fully heated, warm, and Wang Yuxin was sitting with her back to Anne Yi, checking her camera and camcorder. Fortunately, the captain reminded her before boarding the ship, and she tied these two important items to herself, so that she could still exist after the ship turned over like that.
And Wang Yuxin didn't fall into the water, but the camera set up on the tripod turned into the puddle in the boat and soaked for about half a minute.
"Yuxin, are you going to take a bath?" Anne asked.
Wang Yuxin nodded, jumped out of bed, and didn't forget to point to the clothes on the sofa and said, "The dry clothes sent by the owner of the gift shop, let's wear this first." ”
Anne picked up a T-shirt and unfolded it, apparently a gift shop souvenir shirt with a whale printed on its chest and the words "Whale Watching in No. Province" written next to it, as well as some ill-matched jackets, sweatpants and a pair of socks
"How are you? Are the cameras and cameras all right? Yi Annie asked Wang Yuxin.
Wang Yuxin shook his head: "It's all right, but I was really scared by the fact that you fell into the water." ”
Yi Annie poured a cup of hot water from the electric kettle: "I can't be scared myself, I guess I kicked a whale in the water." ”
"The captain also said that you are super lucky," Wang Yuxin said, "theoretically the whale jumped up to be able to dive deeper into the sea, and if you are swept down by the whirlpool of the whale's dive, it is really hopeless." As a result, the whale did not dive, but swam away. ”
Yi Annie patted her chest: "I won't die ...... disaster"
As soon as she said this word, Yi Annie was suddenly stunned, and Wang Yuxin suddenly looked up at her.
Anne rushed back to the bathroom and dug out the small bag that Catherine had given her the day before from the pocket of her wet clothes.
When I opened it, one of the seven stones had lost its luster and was covered with tiny cracks.
Wang Yuxin took the stone and looked at it, and said: "Opal is amorphous silica containing water, and if it loses moisture, cracks like spider webs will appear. But...... That's not how you lose water. ”
"So, it was this stone that protected me once?" Yi Annie thought about it, and this was the only explanation.
