Chapter 66: The Old Man and the Girl
After Miya saw the little girl's appearance clearly, she asked curiously, "Xijia is in middle school, right?" Why do you still live on an island? When the old man and the little girl heard this, they both laughed. Xijia hurriedly replied: "The island we live on is not small! Both primary and secondary schools are available. And I'm going to be with my grandfather too. ”
Then they talked about how they could be floating on the sea. At that time, the old man and the little girl were fishing at the pier. They suddenly saw the morning sun, which was rising faster than usual. At the same time, the ground began to shake. Then, a strong wind began to blow. The old man quickly put away the fishing rod. I wanted to take my granddaughter home, but I saw a boundless wave on the horizon. The old man thought it was a tsunami, so he took his granddaughter and ran into a lifeboat that had been parked on the shore for many years. After that, they rolled in the waves and lost consciousness. When they woke up, they were already floating on the sea. Luckily, they had a lot of fresh water in their lifeboats, which were filled with 20-liter oil drums. Because the lifeboat has been on the shore for many years, and the location is close to the pier. Therefore, some fishermen will use lifeboats as storage rooms to store fresh water and utensils. When they went out to sea, they brought their things aboard. The two of them have survived on this batch of clear water until now. Food is not afraid, the old man has been begging for a living at sea all his life. Nature can survive at sea.
The four of them chatted and chatted, and the old man suddenly pointed to the pole of the drifting boat and said, "Your pole is not strong enough. If the sail is raised in a strong wind, it is likely to blow the ship's stem down. Pull ropes from the top of the pole and tie them to the bow and stern of the ship. For an ordinary sailboat, a rope tied to the front and back is sufficient. However, if you yourself have converted a sailboat from an oil tank, the pole feet are not secure, and it is safe to pull four jump ropes from the top of the pole and tie them to the four corners of the tank. "The old man is really an old experience, and he can see the shortcomings of the drifting boat at once. Xingyu, who studied mechanical engineering, understood how to add rope immediately. Xingyu immediately put away the fishing rod and began to strengthen the pole.
At noon, the sun was hot. They went back to their respective cabins to rest. At this time, Miya said to Xingyu: "The old man is in danger of standing on the walkway of the lifeboat to fish. Why don't we give this spare inflatable boat in the cabin to the old man's family? Xingyu replied jokingly: "Are you willing not to have a bed and sleep on the floor?" After listening to this, Miya scolded Xingyu with a smile: "It's you who don't want to get bed!" Feel relieved! I sew the pillows together and sleep on a mattress. In fact, Xingyu was also grateful to the old man for his guidance on how to strengthen the ship's pole, so he also wanted to give this civilian inflatable boat to the old man.
In the evening, Xingyu lifted the deflated inflatable boat onto the platform. At this time, the old man was already standing on the walkway of the lifeboat fishing. Xingyu was on the platform, pumped the inflatable boat, and then pushed it down to the sea for the old man to use. Then Xingyu said: "Old man, this inflatable boat is for you." It's a pity that this inflatable boat doesn't have oars. You tie it to the hatch and be a platform! The old man laughed and replied, "Hey, hey! Young man, you have forgotten that my lifeboat was originally used as a storage room by fishermen. After the old man finished speaking, he stepped into the lifeboat. Soon, the old man came out with a wooden oar.
After the old man boarded the small inflatable boat, he began to try to row the inflatable boat. Xingyu and Mia were surprised to see the old man rowing quickly with an oar, skillfully swapping oars left and right. And the granddaughter of the old man saw the old man rowing in the lifeboat. Xijia excitedly ran to the hatch and shouted to take the boat. With a doting look on his face, the old man rowed back to the hatch to pick up his granddaughter in the inflatable boat. Then row faster, as if in a boat race, and row the inflatable boat as fast as possible. In the lifeboat, Xijia was stuffy for a few weeks. At this time, Le laughed loudly.
Suddenly, a gray shadow burst out of the sea. A shark rushed to the surface, bit the old man, and fell back into the sea. The rapid scene made the people at the scene not react in a hurry. After the shark bit the old man and fell into the sea, Xingyu reacted. Xingyu immediately jumped out of the cabin to get a speargun. And Xingyu's actions also woke up the stunned two girls. At this time, Xijia reacted that her grandfather was bitten by a shark and fell into the sea. As if she had lost her mind, Xijia wanted to jump into the sea. Mia, who was frightened on the platform, jumped out of the military inflatable boat desperately. Mia quickly rowed the military inflatable boat to save people's hearts, trying to rush over and pull Xijia. But the distance was too far, and Xijia had already jumped into the sea. At this time, Xingyu had already climbed onto the platform with a speargun and fins. Xingyu saw Xijia jump into the sea, and he hurriedly jumped into the sea.
After Xingyu inserted himself into the sea, he saw that Xijia in the distance was also potential in the sea. Xijia, who grew up by the sea, has very good water nature. Xijia was quickly chasing the shark in the distance. Xingyu watched in shock as the unarmed Xijia chased after the shark. Xingyu hurriedly tread water and chased after Xijia. Xijia, who was in a panic, forgot to ventilate at all, and when the gas was not enough, she still insisted on not swimming out to the sea to ventilate. Xijia soon fell into a coma in the sea. Fortunately, at this time, Xingyu had already caught up with Xijia. Xingyu hurriedly surfaced with Xijia in his arms. At this time, Mia also rushed over in a military boat. Xingyu and Mia hurriedly worked together to get Xijia, who was already unconscious, onto the boat. After Heung-woo climbed onto the inflatable boat, he found that Xijia had gone into shock. Xingyu immediately pressed his palm against Xijia's heart, did cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and called Miya mouth-to-mouth to give Xijia a mouthful breath. Soon after, Xijia inhaled seawater from her lungs, gushing out of her mouth and nose. Xingyu continued to give Xijia cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and soon, Xijia woke up, and then coughed incessantly as if she was choking. Mia hurriedly patted Xijia on the back and helped Xijia cough out as soon as possible and inhale the seawater in her lungs. Soon, Xijia coughed and collapsed, and lay weakly in Mia's arms.
Xingyu saw that Xijia was fine, and immediately jumped into the sea again. After Xingyu entered the sea, there were no old men and sharks around the sea. After this period of tossing, the shark had already swam away with the old man in its mouth. Xingyu reluctantly surfaced and climbed into the lifeboat. At this time, after waking up, Xijia had already remembered what had happened. Xijia saw Xingyu climb onto the boat alone, and knew that his grandfather was more than lucky. Xijia lay on the inflatable boat and cried bitterly. Mia hurriedly patted Xijia on the back, trying to comfort Xijia. But Mia didn't know how to comfort her, so she kept patting Xijia on the back.
Encountering this kind of thing, Xingyu didn't know how to comfort Xijia. I had to watch Mia pat Xijia on the back. Heung-woo didn't know what to do either. After Xijia cried for a while, she fainted from crying sadly. Xingyu and Mia, only then did they notice that it was getting dark. Xingyu hurriedly rowed back to the drifting boat. Xingyu and Mia didn't dare to carry Xijia back to the lifeboat, fearing that Xijia would wake up and hurt the scene. Xingyu and Mia had no choice but to work together to carry Xijia into the cabin of the drifting ship.
