Message before the text

Human nature contains greed and the endless desires that arise from it, but we always ignore the happiness we already have, such as me.

First of all, this message is not actually chicken soup, but a real part of my feelings.

What I have on the island is actually more substantial than at any time in my years of life, but I am always intoxicated by the desire to set foot on an unknown beach to get better resources, food, or vegetables.

I made an excuse for this greed: I always felt miserable and pathetic now, and I always wanted to make myself better.

And when a more tragic fate comes, he will cherish everything he has been, but find that everything has gradually drifted away from him.

Family affection, health, career, feelings, family, money, everything can't escape the above thoughts, just like me next.

The time I intend to spend on this circumnavigation is about a month, and there are many factors that determine this time, one month is enough for me to collect some fruit and turtle eggs for supplies on the unwelcome beach that I have surveyed before, and then sail to the other end of the island, which is a place I have never been to, but I have only seen it from a distance at the top of the mountain, and the north side of the island is sheltered by some high forests, so that I have never seen it in the past four years, the jungle there is too dense, I never dared to risk crossing the jungle by land, and I could not risk my life even if the north shore had the richest natural resources.

Second, the time is about to enter the rainy season, and after this rainy season it will be November, and you know, it is the second season of my year to harvest the grain, and if there is no one to watch over the fields, the hares will gnaw all the harvest and ripe veins in a day or two, and although that will not starve me for a winter (there is no cold winter on this island at all), I cannot let the fruits of my labor become a fast food for those hares.

Thirdly, to be honest, it stems from my attachment to my "home", and in the years I have spent here, I have already developed a deep affection for the cave and everything in it, especially the rabbits I raised, which have now matured and become my breeding rabbits and female rabbits, and they still treat me as relatives and never leave half a step, to the point that they do not need to be kept in captivity, how can I be willing to leave them for a longer time?

But who would have thought that this trip would take a lot more time than expected!

The thick vines were untied from the boulders, accompanied by a show, the weather was fine, a slight southeasterly wind, but everything else was fine, and I could even see the panicked swimming of fish in the sea near the shoals.

The island itself is not large, but when my boat had just sailed out of the small bay near the beach and headed east (a little west of the Warehouse Paradise), I found that I had bypassed the shallow reef of the Warehouse Paradise, and two nautical miles to the east, there was a denser reef densely packed there, and those hideous stones glowed grayish-brown in the sun, some of them were exposed to the sea, and some of them were even hidden deep in the sea, which I may have not noticed when I used to stand on the high mountain and observe, probably because of the distance. The present situation is very distressing to me, and it is also the result of my haste to leave without careful observation.

This reef beach is nestled in a small hill and extended, in terms of geography, this is called "headland", our Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui was this kind of headland in the past, but human beings continue to evolve it, it has become the current prosperous appearance.

I had to paddle to a small hill not far from the headland, tether the heavy vines to the bottom of a large reef, and then climb the hill to look out into the distance.

It didn't matter, I almost gave up on the plan to circumnavigate this time.

The reef was irregularly arranged around the small hills, stretching for about five or six kilometers towards the depths of the sea, a distance that I would only dare to paddle across if I were adventurous enough.

And it doesn't matter! Importantly, on both sides of these longitudinally arranged reef areas, the sea water is separated by the reefs and two convection zones, especially in the east, and even a rapids retreat sharply into the sea according to the reaction force of the beach, causing the waves there to be more intense.

I measured the speed of the wind with the tip of my tongue, and looked at the rapids with great uncertainty, if I drove the canoe into the rapids, it was very likely that it would be carried into the open sea, and even more serious consequences: the boat was capsized and injured!

I decided not to take this risk for the time being, but I was reluctant to let me return home like this, and I had been preparing for this circumnavigation for too long, and if I had the slightest chance, I would be eager to complete it, after all, it would bring me considerable gains, both in terms of resources and the ghostly "click" of exploration.

I stayed in this dirt bag hill for three days, the wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger, and the reef group even gave me a feeling of choppy, it seems that there is a reason why this place has not become a tourist area, after all, few people can get close to this beach, if there is really a boat that mistakenly breaks here, with the waves and rapids, even the larger tourist cruise ships are in danger of being pulled into the reef area by the rapids and torn to pieces.

The strong wind did not subside until the morning of the fourth day, and by noon the sea was already calm, and I saw that about a mile from the root of the reef, the reef did not seem to be so compact, and there seemed to be many gaps in the middle, and with such calm water streaks, I might be able to pass my canoe through the natural barrier formed by the reef.

So I took another risk, and if I had died, my bones would have been pounded back onto the beach and posed in strange shapes, so that the future generations of the island would have known how stupid I was to die!

No sooner had the canoe left the shallow beach of the headland than it seemed to enter a deep water without any transition or warning, and by the time I saw the rapids lurking insidiously below the surface ready to swallow me, the boat had already lost my control.

The torrent took advantage of the calm appearance of the sea, mixed with thick sand in the sea, and stirred up layers of chaotic, like boiling hot water, and the wave was very fierce, and the boat was immediately wrapped in it and spun, like a little girl who met a hooligan on the road, and was torn back and forth by the torrent, and in a short time, it actually pushed the boat out in the direction of the deep sea.

I tried to get the boat back to the reef beach, but I couldn't; I paddled in the hope that the boat would sail to the edge of the undercurrent and get me out of trouble, but it backfired, and it was carried into the reef and then miraculously into the more violent eastern side of the rapids.

I did get through the crevices between the reefs, but that's the last thing I want right now!

As I said before, the rapids on the east side were even more terrible than the west side, and the windless sea made my sails useless, and I had to paddle desperately, but to no avail, and I had a premonition that disaster was coming, and I could even feel that this catastrophe would happen in a few seconds, or that when the damned rapids washed me into the confluence of the deep sea, I would also be thrown into the sea and sink into the sea, and the fish would not be left with a single dregs left.

The brain was also a mess in the fierce rocking of the oars, and I even remembered a sentence: "NO ZUO NO DIE", in other words, in fact, my fate has already been determined, I should have died in that sea in the shipwreck of Zheng He, but I don't know what dragged me up and was miraculously washed up on this isolated island, God and his old man just let me choose the question of early death and late death, and it is also possible that the previous shipwreck happened to be full of places, so I postponed it for a few years, and the way to die is the same!

Well, I admit that I really didn't think about going to heaven after death, after all, I shouldn't have any acquaintances there, except for Lao Tan, maybe he can get a pass or a temporary residence permit in heaven or something, but I firmly believe that the old lady, the fat man, and the great evil will not be able to enter such a sacred place!

Looking back, what does this have to do with other people's gods? The old man arranged me on such an island, so that I have no worries about food and clothing, I already have everything except women, although this broken island is so desolate and helpless, but now it seems that it is the most worthy of my affection in the world, for me, now, the greatest happiness, the greatest expectation, is to be able to return to that desert island, even if I lose all my efforts, I am willing to start all over again, as long as I can go back.

I didn't know what was tumbling in my mind, so I hung the buckle of the sculls on my arm, and knelt down in the cramped cockpit, facing the west, and muttered to myself: "God, please let me go back, back to my little hill, back to that beach, or to any part of that desert island, and you can offer me whatever I have on that island, grain, jerky, my rabbits, whatever, if you will help me, for the last time!" ”。

I'm just an ordinary person, I can't grasp the divine power, I don't have the ability to predict disasters, greed and lust are my nature, if I hadn't experienced such a disaster, I wouldn't have felt how happy it was to live on that desert island; If it weren't for the current exhaustion of mountains and rivers, how would you still know how to cherish everything on such a desert island?

I watched as I was swept farther and farther away by the rapids, and the island slowly shrank and shrank in my sight, a distance of five or six nautical miles.

I understand that I have lost it, I have lost everything that I have created with my hands for the last four years, and I will lose my life immediately because of it.

I didn't give up paddling, and I even said that since I returned to my sitting posture after worshipping God, I have been paddling harder. I know that God will only favor those who work hard, and in the past four years, my efforts must have touched his old man, and now I just need him to give me another chance, a small chance.

But my situation shows no signs of change at all~
