Chapter 17: Escape from the Shark's Mouth

I saw the shark lying motionless on the surface of the sea. Although the two knew that a fish belly attack meant death, they still didn't dare to go out rashly. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the shark still didn't respond. The two dared to go to the hatch to check the dinghy outside, only to see that the outer edge of the dinghy had been bitten by a shark and left multiple holes. Fortunately, it was a military inflatable boat, and although the shark had a strong bite force, it did not bite through the outer layer of the inflatable boat. If it's a lifeboat, I'm afraid it won't hold up. Although the lifeboat is also made of cut-resistant materials, it is a civilian boat after all.

"Shark meat can be eaten, right?" Mia asked distressedly as she looked at the edge of the boat. On the edge of the boat, there was not a single piece of fish left. When the shark bites, they all fall down. Xingyu replied worriedly: "Of course sharks can eat, but we have to move quickly." Sharks are social animals and usually appear in groups. It's rarely seen on its own like Jaws movies. However, it is also possible that the shark was swept away by the tsunami. Mia was really frightened: "If there is danger, don't do it, we can fish enough to eat." After Xingyu heard this, he smiled bitterly: "There was such a big movement just now, I'm afraid that the fish nearby were scared away." In the next few days, there may be no fish in the vicinity. So we had to take the risk of cutting shark meat. "If a school of sharks appears, in a dinghy, it can be dangerous. In the end, Xingyu thought of rowing the refrigerator to get shark meat. Previously, the refrigerator could withstand multiple shark strikes, so even if a school of sharks appeared, they would be safe by simply closing the refrigerator door.

Heung-woo wanted to go and get the meat alone, but Mia refused to live or die, and it was difficult for him to paddle the refrigerator alone. Heung-woo and Mia stand in the refrigerator, and one of them stands on the side of the refrigerator paddling with fins. Soon it was rowed to the side of the shark, and Xingyu picked up the fish knife and cut out the shark meat in large pieces. Blood gushes out of the shark's body, and the nearby sea is stained blood-red. Mia stared nervously at the surface of the sea, wary of the appearance of sharks. Xingyu avoided the belly of the fish to cut the flesh of the fish, and tried to avoid the shark sinking. But as it was cut, suddenly the dead shark sank and floated. Xingyu immediately guessed that it was a group of sharks that appeared and bit and ate the dead shark from the sea. Sure enough, 6 shark fins were soon seen emerging from the sea. Xingyu hurriedly crouched down and closed the cabinet door. The two of them did not dare to move quietly in the refrigerator, for fear that the slightest movement would alarm the sharks.

The two felt that after a long time, it was finally calm outside. Xingyu opened the cabinet door a little crack and secretly looked outside, and sure enough, there was no shark in sight, and the dead shark disappeared. The two didn't dare to paddle back rashly. After waiting another quarter of an hour to make sure there were no sharks outside, I paddled back. Although Xingyu didn't finish cutting the shark meat, there was also a lot of shark meat in the refrigerator, enough for the two of them to eat for a week. Now Xingyu is worried about how to dry the fish, I am afraid that it was because of the fish drying on the edge of the boat that the shark attacked the boat. But you can't dry the fish at the bottom of the boat, and the bottom of the boat is stolen! And the two of them have to walk around in the dinghy. In the end, Xingyu thought of picking up sticks from the sea and drying fish meat on the dinghy in rows of horizontal frames.

When Xingyu was busy drying the fish, and Miya was sitting down to rest after cutting the fish fillet, Mia saw half an inflatable boat floating not far away. Mia shouted, "There is a boat, there is a boat ahead!" Xingyu, who bent down and lowered his head to dry the fish, was stunned for a moment when he heard it: "There is another boat?" Someone or nobody? "Xingyu still remembers the previous lesson." Half an inflatable boat with no one. You won't be able to read it yourself! Mia replied angrily and pointed in the direction of the inflatable boat. Xingyu was also curious about what half an inflatable boat was, so he looked in the direction that Mia pointed. It is really half a boat, and generally, inflatable boats are inflated in multiple stages to avoid the sinking of the whole boat after the inflatable boat is hooked. The half of the inflatable boat that was lonely on the sea floated only by the airbag on one side, and the rest of the boat sank into the sea. Xingyu looked at the broken boat and said helplessly: "This boat is already in tatters, and it's useless to pick it up." Mia hurriedly said, "Look, the oars of this inflatable boat are still there." Xingyu was reminded by Miya to pay attention to the oars of the inflatable boat, and there were indeed oars in the oar ring. Nowadays, it is popular to use screws to lock the oars in the oar ring to prevent the oars from accidentally falling into the sea. This wrecked ship has this design. After Xingyu picked up the broken boat, he removed the oars and put them in the oar slots of the military inflatable boat, and found that the oars were only shorter than the oar slots. Generally, military lifeboats have paddle grooves next to the oar rings. When the oars are not needed, put the oars in the oar slots.

Inflatable boats that are usually used for fun are just a plastic sheet at the bottom, and the hull floats by multiple airbags around it. Xingyu took out scissors and cut the bottom of the boat into a rectangular plastic sheet. When it rains, catch the rain faster than a garbage bag. You can also cover Mijama as a quilt at ordinary times. Xingyu noticed that although the weather was hot, Mia still used the wetsuit as a cover when she slept. Maybe girls have a habit of covering quilts. Taking the new quilt handed by Xingyu, Miya said in surprise: "You peeked at me sleeping!" Otherwise, how would you know I had a cover? ”

This time, it was Xingyu's turn to be accused of voyeurism: "You are sleeping next to me, I don't have to peek to see it!" "Of course! Mia is just teasing Xingyu.

After Xingyu cut the bottom of the boat, he threw the useless dinghy into the sea with a flick of his hand. But suddenly I thought of something, fished up the wrecked boat again, and then picked up the scissors and carefully cut out the airbag that was still intact. After seeing the shape of the airbag, Mia chirped, "You really have the habit of holding pillows." Xingyu replied angrily: "This is your pillow, so that you don't always press my arm." Xingyu then said strangely: "No! How do you know I have a habit of holding pillows? Mia, who was being played, ran into the lifeboat with a red face and hid. Leaving Xingyu thoughtfully stunned on the dinghy.

That night, Heung-woo pretended to be asleep. Heung-woo wanted to verify his suspicions, so he boldly turned sideways and hugged Mia's waist. Xingyu felt Miya gently pat his forearm, and then Miya put her hand on her forearm and continued to sleep. Xingyu, who pretended to be asleep, fell asleep with the joy of happiness in his heart.
