Chapter 40: The Islands
Something dripped on the face, drop by drop, drop by drop.
It's cool, it's wet, but it gives people a feeling of being reborn. There was a voice in my heart shouting in the depths, wake up, wake up......
Xie Ying woke up from a coma, the raindrops had already wet his face, he opened his eyes only to feel that his eyes were full of moisture, and slowly regained his sight, he was ecstatic in his heart, and a kind of excitement and excitement that had never been seen before rose from his heart.
It's rain, it's raining, they're saved!
The sudden rain at night would have restored the vitality of the six of them for at least a short time, although it was unknown how long the rain would last. After waking up, the heavy rain was heavy, Xie Ying was excited and quickly shook the sleeping five people awake, maybe the rain hit their bodies, and also stimulated their deep desire to survive, so they woke up with tenacious will.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I forgot to speak for a while, and then I smiled, ecstatic, and took the water with my palms, opened my mouth and drank wildly, Xie Ying didn't know how long the rain would last, so she unscrewed the empty bottles on the boat, "Quick, unscrew the empty bottles to receive water!" Fast! ”
Everyone unscrewed the empty bottles, and the heavy rain soon filled all the empty bottles with water, looking at the eight bottles of water, everyone saw hope in their hearts, as long as they still had water, they could hold on for two more days, and the chances of finding the island would be several times greater.
Soon after, schools of fish began to emerge from the sea around the rubber raft, like seaweed, and the sight that could be seen nearby was full of this group of guys spitting bubbles to breathe air, Xie Ying was ecstatic, and immediately took out a knife with Su Han, and carefully pierced the fish, the fish were frightened and fled one after another, despite this, the two still caught more than ten fish, and the fish were not small, the smallest ones were several catties. With dozens of catties of food all of a sudden, the taste in everyone's hearts is difficult to describe, what kind of feeling is that, they have stepped into the abyss with one foot under the sea, they don't even expect to live, but they don't want God to favor them so much, and actually gave them a chance to live when they were half dead.
The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and the rubber raft was soon filled with rain, and they desperately splashed water out with their hands, but the rain was too heavy, and there was no point in them doing this, in order to prevent the more than ten fish from escaping, Xie Ying and Tony hurriedly took off their life jackets, and then took off their jackets, and wrapped more than ten fish on the raft, but there were a lot of fish, and the two clothes couldn't wrap them at all, at this moment, I saw Su Han take off his life jacket, and then take off his jacket, handed it to Xie Ying, and said, "Wrap it up!" ”
Xie Ying glanced at Su Han's chest, she was wearing a black bra, the cups were not small at all, the twin peaks were proud and strong, snow-white as porcelain, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time, Xie Ying took the clothes and wrapped the fish.
The rain came in a hurry and went quickly, and everyone splashed the water on the raft, and then looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, and they were in a trance.
Heaven favored the six young men on the vast sea, and when they were close to the brink of death, it gave them rain and food so that these young men and women could continue to live. But it was too early to tell, even if there was too much food, they had to find land or islands before they ran out of food, otherwise, the heavens were just playing a joke on them, and they would still die in this vast blue sea.
Xie Ying took out two fish from his clothes, and together with Su Han, he cleaned the fish with a knife, and then cleaned them with seawater, Xie Ying asked Tony and Liang Bing to paddle the rubber raft, because the blood and fishy smell of the fish might attract large carnivorous fish in the sea, and they didn't want to take this risk. The scales and guts of the fish were cleaned clean, and Xie Ying cut the fish into small slices and distributed them to everyone. Everyone took the sashimi, swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, and then threw it into their mouths and chewed it carefully, sweet, slightly fishy, not much delicious, but at this time, it was really tantamount to a delicacy.
Because everyone was so hungry that they fainted, Xie Ying took out two fish, plus just drank a lot of rainwater, everyone ate very satisfied, and after everyone finished eating, the distance where the sea and the sky were connected, had slowly shone with a thin glow, and a new day had come.
Because of the food and stored water, everyone's mood seems to be a lot better, and they are willing to talk and chat, Xie Ying looked at the five young faces on the rubber raft, but the mood was not better at all, they did not have any navigation equipment on their bodies, and they could not identify the direction at sea, like a blind man walking at night. Maybe if you keep paddling to the east, you might find the island, but if the island is in the west, Xie Ying has no way at all. Now, the lives of the six of them have been completely handed over to this ocean.
Three days have passed since the heavy rain stopped, and now the three fish wrapped in clothes, and the eight bottles full of water, are now only the poor three fish and two bottles of water, and they are again facing serious food shortages, but the ocean is still boundless and hopeless.
Just when everyone had to worry about food and water, suddenly there was another heavy rain in the night, and everyone was ecstatic, since there was rain, then there would be schools of fish out to breathe the air, but after thinking about it, not always there would be so good luck, the sea was so vast, how could they be as lucky as last time to meet schools of fish. But it's better to have rain than nothing, and everyone has taken out empty bottles to catch water.
But what is unexpected is that this rain became heavier and heavier, and in the end it turned into a catastrophic torrential rain, which fell on the head and face. The water on the raft was so full that it kept overflowing, and everyone grabbed the water bottle in their hands. Xie Ying didn't know how long the rainstorm had been falling, it felt like it had been going on for hours, and it hadn't stopped yet.
Later, the torrential rain not only did not stop, but became more and more violent, and behind them, a huge wave several meters high was surging, as if a submarine monster opened its huge mouth and let out a long roar on the surface of the sea. Xie Ying turned his head and saw that in the vast darkness, there was a row of even darker black rolling over, he realized that this was a wave, so he and Tony used all their strength to row forward desperately, if they were hit by this wave, even if they were all wearing life jackets, they would be scattered by the waves, he didn't dare to imagine the seriousness of this kind of thing.
But no matter how fast they rowed, they couldn't match the speed of the rolling waves, and the six of them were nervous and uneasy, and they all grabbed the hands of the people next to them, ready to be covered by the waves.
They looked at each other with a determined look on their faces. Hold your hands tightly and hold each other firmly. All six of them closed their eyes and took a deep breath, since they couldn't dodge, they could only bump into each other head-on!
Having experienced the edge of life and death, they faced the monstrous waves several meters high, and although they were nervous and uneasy, they were not afraid at all. Xie Ying opened her eyes and looked deeply at the five people in front of her, but she showed a shallow smile.
In the next second, they were covered by the waves, and the rubber raft was overturned in an instant. Xie Ying felt that the hands he was holding with both hands were torn apart by the sea water, although he was wearing a life jacket, he was also washed under the sea by the waves, his body kept spinning, and every time he just surfaced, another wave turned over and washed his body under the sea.
When Xie Ying opened his eyes again, he felt a stream of water rushing towards him one by one, making a sound of rushing water, and then retreating from him.
He sat up in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what was in front of him, he was on land, and the soft sand under his feet told him that it was all true! The rain had stopped, and he was washed ashore by the raging waves!
Xie Ying was so excited that he forgot that he was wet, and he quickly searched for other people's figures around, shouting everyone's names over and over again, but what responded to him was boundless darkness and emptiness.
Since he can be washed ashore by the waves, then the other five people can definitely be washed up Xie Ying took off his life jacket and shouted along the sandy shore.
"Shu Yan, Qingyi, Liang Bing, Su Han, Tony......"
Xie Ying didn't know if he was on the island or on land at the moment, he only felt that it was very cold here, his whole body was soaked, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Xie Ying didn't believe that he was the only one who was washed up, no matter how cold it was here, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he wouldn't give up looking for them.
"Shu Yan, where are you? Qingyi, Tony, where the hell are you? ”
"Answer me! You should answer me! ”
"Xie Ying, is that you?"
Xie Ying was taken aback, it was Shu Yan's voice, and he hurriedly said, "It's me, Shu Yan, is it you?" "It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly, except for the faint tall coconut trees and the soft sand beneath my feet in the night.
"It's me!" Shu Yan heard that it was Xie Ying, and hurriedly ran out from behind a tall coconut tree, "Great, I thought everyone was ...... Great, great, did you find anyone else? ”
Shu Yan was soaking wet, holding a life jacket in her hand, her wavy curls were wet and messy, and the thin white shirt she was wearing on her upper body was clinging to her body, revealing a lot of beautiful scenery.
Xie Ying couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but she could see that she was trembling all over, as if she was extremely cold.
"No, you're the first person I've found, what about you?"
"No ......"
"Don't worry, we'll find them! But we must find a place to make a fire now, or we will freeze to death!" ”
Although Xie Ying carefully protected the walkie-talkie on his body, the big wave finally washed it away, and now he only had a pistol and a knife on his body.
Xie Ying pulled Shu Yan and turned to look at the pitch-black thing in front of him, which seemed to be a tropical forest, in the night without moonlight, it seemed like a cannibalistic primitive evil forest.
