Chapter 66: Rescued
The bone boat jumped dozens of times in a row on the tip of the near-shore current, and the violent turbulence almost threw me out of the boat's nest, and there was a feeling of soreness everywhere in my body, and even a resurgence of the offshore current directly lifted my body from the bone boat two or three meters high, and then miraculously fell back into the boat's nest;
This sprint lasted five or six minutes, and every time I closed my eyes and felt the speed of the bone boat slow down, I saw it still "smashing" on the crest of the waves and the surface of the sea as if it had gone crazy.
The pain of my tailbone and pelvis was like a crack, and I had to continue to close my eyes and turn sideways to bear the gravity with my relatively intact hands covering my ribs, and my head bumped east and west in the bony socket as if I didn't want money, and from time to time I would be turned out of the socket to "admire" a whitening wave all around;
I didn't know whether I should be glad or discouraged, and just when I thought I could return to the island after such an ordeal, I found that the forward speed of the bone ship slowed down considerably, until it had completely stopped and began to spin slowly, and I realized that I had probably been taken back to the headland turbulence where I had been in danger more than four years ago;
My eyebrow bones and cheekbones were so swollen that my eyebrow bones and cheekbones were swelling that I could only see clearly, and upon a glance I found that my judgment was correct, even worse than I had imagined, and that the bone ship, which had lost its forward momentum, was following the scene I had seen four years earlier, trying to drift back into the deep sea with the turbulence in a whirlwind;
"It's too far," I staggered to my feet and looked at the desert island, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and which was at least three or four nautical miles away, and even if there were no wind and waves, and it was as calm as an inland lake, I could not have swam such a distance;
But if I were to follow the bone ship into the cracks in the sea caused by the impact of those two turbulent currents... Even if I die here, I won't want to try it again!
In desperation, I struck a loose tooth from my shoulder again, and plunged into the water as it fell off, and the turbulence under the surface of the sea was not as fierce as at the near-shore headland, which I had experienced years ago, but Rao was so, and my body had been twisted in the sea a few times, and what else could I do at this time? In addition to constantly treading water, he could only hug the one-arm-long and half-arm-wide beast bone and pray for life;
The surging tide and the vicious offshore currents sent me to the shore and was pulled back to the shore, and my head was still able to be lifted out of the sea at times, but more and more time I was immersed in the sea, and I looked at the desert island at the moment of afloat, and looked at the beachhead that was only less than a nautical mile away from me, and thought: it is so close to me, but I am afraid that I will never go back again in this life......
Woke up in a daze and fainted in pain......
I seem to have had many dreams, dreaming of a tiger girl staring at me with her hair and eyes, dreaming of a bald hippie smiling face waving goodbye to me, dreaming of a female corpse with no head, no arms and no legs telling me that she is a hook;
In the midst of these countless dreams, I seemed to wake up several times, and in my drowsiness, I vaguely felt that a woman was taking care of me, wiping my wounds and feeding the meat grains, and when I did wake up, I found that I had indeed been rescued, and lying on a thick straw mat flattened with hay, rattan, and linen;
It was very dark in the room, and I tried my best to open my eyes in the hope of seeing everything around me, but I found that my eyes and my whole face were wrapped in white linen like a bun, and the fine hemp strips on my body were entwined a lot, and my two arms were clamped and tied with wooden sticks, and the knee of my right leg was even flattened by a branch;
But there was one thing in the house that I was familiar with, and it was jars that my tribe would have, yes, whether it was the glaze or the shape of the surface, I was sure it must have been produced on a gentle slope;
Thank goodness I'm alive and alive to come back here! I wanted to laugh, but I found that the swelling of my face made it impossible for me to grin at all, and even a slit would make a few muscles around my mouth painful, and of course, the act of standing up was even more fantastic to me;
There was a sound of light footsteps outside the house, and my eyes were staring straight at the wooden door at the door. Is it a Sichuan girl? Or fish balls? Either one of them, I believe that I will be in tears for the rest of my life now, like seeing my loved ones;
And apart from them, I am confident that there will be no third person in the tribe who dares to approach me, just like no one dares to break into the oracle, because the faith of the white-robed slaves is still there, and the wood god is still there;
But the moment the wooden door was pushed open, I saw a strange face, this strangeness was not because I was too unfamiliar with the people of my tribe because of the passage of time, but because it was not from my tribe!
She was a woman, a woman in a white robe, with waist-length hair, and a very delicate appearance, part of which was wrapped in a delicate bow of white linen, and the white robe covered her body so that I could not see that she was fat or thin, but by the exposed calves I could see that it was by no means a bloated woman;
"You... Are you awake? ”
This is the local language I can understand, but there is a slight difference between it and the local language of the tiger girls and the white robes;
The woman put down the earthen pot in her hand, took two steps and moved to the edge of the stone bed and straw mat, looked at me for a long time with a pair of bright eyes, and from time to time probed my forehead or pinched the flesh with a pair of small hands, and then said:
"I knew you could wake up, the price of two cans of grain was really not in vain", the woman sat next to me and giggled, the smiling face was very innocent, and the voice was so clean that it was not mixed with a hint of charm;
But her words confused me, I tried to open my mouth to ask who she was, where was the Sichuan girl and the fish ball, but my lips just curled up and I found that the injury made me unable to move at all;
"Don't move, the wound will be in trouble if it opens," the woman said, holding her finger up and gently touching my lips;
"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten well for four days, come to ......";
As the woman spoke, she poured out some fine porridge from the earthen pot she had just brought in, took a sip in her mouth, and then turned her head towards me. I couldn't do anything but hum on my lips, and a straight stick tied my spine and neck together at the back of my neck, and I couldn't even tilt my head;
I wanted to keep my mouth shut and avoid bacterial infection in my mouth in such a serious injury, but after just trying it, the sharp pain in my face made me give up resistance, and the silky porridge accompanied by the warm tongue rushed into my mouth, and the feeling...
Eight and a half years, the first kiss after eight and a half years was actually ruined here......
