Chapter 39: Rafting
At the end of Xie Ying's fainting, he felt a soft and cold hand reach out, and then he was completely unconscious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shu Yan stepped on the water under his feet, holding Xie Ying's body and slowly swimming to the rubber raft, the water in the sea was so cold that it almost made Shu Yan shiver, but the most important thing now was to rescue Xie Ying on the rubber raft. Everyone pulled Xie Ying and Shu Yan, Chu Qingyi saw Xie Ying's eyes closed, her body was motionless, and her shoulders were bleeding constantly, her heart was sour, and tears rolled in her eyes, "Xie Ying, Xie Ying, what's wrong with him...... What's wrong with him......"
Liang Bing walked past a few of them, put Xie Ying's body away, and carefully examined his body, "I was shot in the shoulder by a bullet and lost a lot of blood, and I need to stop the bleeding immediately!" Fortunately, Liang Bing carried a medical kit with him, so he immediately stopped Xie Ying's bleeding. Su Han hurriedly grabbed the wooden paddle and shouted to Tony, "Tony, row quickly, they have found us!" Under the paddling of the two, the rubber raft gradually moved away from the cruise ship, although the speed was not fast, but the night was dark, and there was no light, but it gave them a good cover.
Su Han looked at the monster-like sea giant, at this time on the edge of the deck, there were several black figures, looking at it from a distance, like ghosts.
"Chief, do you still need to chase?"
"No, they can't survive on this sea. Let's get started! ”
Fortunately, the bullet only hit the shoulder, and if it was a little more deflected, it hit the shoulder blade or the back, and the situation was much more serious. After Liang Bing stopped Xie Ying's bleeding, he asked everyone to put Xie Ying's body away, now he can only lie on the rubber raft, and the wound on his shoulder cannot touch the water, otherwise it will be very easy to be infected, in such a harsh environment with extremely limited conditions, once his wound is infected, it will cause a series of complications, such as fever, severe coma, and pus in the wound, so under Liang Bing's instructions, everyone tried not to let Xie Ying's wound touch the water.
"The bleeding has stopped, but Xie Ying's wound must not be wet, seawater can easily make his wound pus, and once it is pus, it will be very troublesome." Liang Bing put away the medicine box and said to everyone. Chu Qingyi was very worried about Xie Ying's situation, and hurriedly asked, "This sister, when will Xie Ying wake up?" Liang Bing glanced at Xie Ying and said, "He lost a lot of blood and had to be in a coma for a while, but I don't know exactly when he will wake up." ”
Su Han and Tony had been cutting the rubber raft, and after hearing Liang Bing's words, they couldn't help but look at Xie Ying, very worried.
Chu Qingyi had already cried into tears, and she was closely accompanying Xie Ying on the side, praying constantly in her heart, hoping that he would wake up soon.
The sea breeze at night was very cool, everyone was wearing short clothes, and at this moment the whole body was completely soaked by the sea, and a gust of sea breeze blew, and everyone only felt a layer of goosebumps on their bodies, and they kept shivering.
Shu Yan kept looking at the unconscious Xie Ying, and his eyes seemed to look into his heart, if he hadn't rushed over to protect her body just now, the person lying on the rubber raft at this time should have been her...... Why did he pounce to protect her without even the slightest hesitation when the searchlight flashed? Why would he be so desperate for the sake of others? For her sake, can he even want his own life?
In the face of the vast black sea, everyone's initial anxiety and nervousness have slowly turned into prayers, praying that Xie Ying can wake up as soon as possible, praying that they can find islands at sea, and praying that they can meet ships nearby......
Su Han and Tony had been rowing for several hours, and their arms were already so tired that they didn't have any strength, so Liang Bing and Shu Yan took the wooden oars of the two and continued to row.
The night was so dark.
The wind is so cold.
The blazing sun scorched the entire sea, and the white swaying water vapor emanated on the surface of the sea, making the vision faintly shaking. However, there was nothing but the vast blue sea, and there was not even a seagull around.
After a night of hard work last night, everyone in the early morning almost dawn, finally because of heavy eyelids, and sleep messy sleep, at this time to see the position of the sun, should be eight or nine o'clock in the morning, everyone has only slept for 3 or 4 hours, is the most sleepy time.
After Shu Yan woke up, he saw that everyone was sleeping deeply, so he sat up very lightly, the rubber raft was very large, but the six people were crowded together, and it seemed extremely small. Before noon, the sun was already so hot, if it was noon, I was afraid that they would be dizzy from the sun. Shu Yan rinsed his mouth with some seawater, washed his face again, and when he turned around, he heard a soft murmur, and then Xie Ying's body that had been lying on his stomach moved, as if he wanted to sit up.
Shu Yan slowly helped him up, trying not to let his wounds be affected by the movements of his body, after Xie Ying jumped into the sea last night, he didn't know everything clearly, and when he woke up at this time, he saw that he was surrounded by a blue sky, and the end of his line of sight was a line connecting the sea and the sky, far away. He noticed that his right shoulder was wrapped in layers of bandages, and if he moved his right arm slightly, he would be involved in the wound, and the pain was sharp.
"Don't move anymore, your shoulder is shot by a bullet, don't touch the seawater, otherwise it's easy to get pus." Shu Yan looked at Xie Ying and said. Without a drop of water one night, he coughed twice, looked at Shu Yan and said, "You're fine, right?" Shu Yan shook his head gently, "I'm fine...... If it wasn't for you last night, I would have been the one who was hurt, thank you......"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's fine if you're okay......" Xie Ying said. Shu Yan saw that he coughed twice, and hurriedly picked up the bottled water next to him and gave it to him, "You drink some water, there is still a little food on the raft, you are injured, you need to replenish your nutrition......" Xie Ying looked at the poor food in the corner of the raft, just a few packets of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water, just this little food, how could the six of them support it? Now they are floating on the sea, without direction and without equipment, like walking blinded in the forest at night, and it is impossible to find an exit.
Maybe those packets of compressed biscuits were enough to last them for two or three days, but how could those two bottles of water, which add up to only one liter, be enough for the six of them? The evaporation of the sea surface is very large, they have no shelter, the body can only be exposed to the sun, so that the water in their body will soon be consumed, once the water in the human body is insufficient, it will cause extremely serious conditions, such as heat stroke, shock, and even hallucinations are possible, if this situation occurs in the vast sea, it is tantamount to one foot has stepped into the abyss of the sea.
They don't know how many more days they will have to drift on the sea, maybe two days, maybe seven days, maybe a month...... Xie Ying didn't dare to imagine it. At that time, they were desperate to flee for their lives and take their lives from others, but now, they are leaving their lives and deaths to the sea......
Xie Ying pushed away the water handed over by Shu Yan, now the water is a part of their lives, it is an extremely precious and important resource, they must distribute it reasonably, if there is no rain, they will have to drink this liter of water for at least three or four days, and within these three or four days, they must find the island, otherwise, the consequence waiting for them is only to die in the sea.
In the following time, Xie Ying and Shu Yan did not speak again, and the thirst and high temperature had made the two lose their desire to speak.
At noon, everyone gradually woke up, Chu Qingyi opened her eyes, and saw that Xie Ying lying next to her was gone, so she was so shocked that she immediately sat up, but saw Xie Ying sitting in front of her, and her hanging heart relaxed.
In the evening, the people who had been hungry for a whole day couldn't stand it, so everyone took out two packs of compressed biscuits, divided into six parts, biscuits as big as the palm of their hands, and broke three portions, each one was only as big as a thumb, and they could eat it in one bite, but everyone was reluctant, and bit it one by one. After a whole day of drying on the sea, everyone was so thirsty that they were hoarse when they spoke, and everyone used their palms to catch water, but how much water could be received in their palms, they could only purse their lips and not let their lips dry out.
The same goes for the third day of rafting.
Everyone can only eat a small compressed biscuit a day, drink a palm of water, and the stomach growls all the time, and the stomach is empty and nothing. But even so, everyone saved, the distribution of six people, only the last four packets of compressed biscuits remained, and the last half bottle of water was left, and if the people could not find the island in the next two days, at most three days, they would starve to death on the raft because there was no food......
Day 4 of rafting......
The Grim Reaper had already dragged half of the life force of the six people, and no one was willing to speak anymore, and one mouth was just a hoarse and meaningless whisper......
The scorching sun had already tanned their skin, and the slightest touch was a sharp pain, and the faces of the four women were no longer bloody, and the full lips were now pale and cracked, and their hair was draped loosely, and a layer of greasy oil had emerged......
Chu Qingyi finally couldn't bear such torture and passed out, she just felt that it was good to sleep like this, so she didn't have to worry about anything......
Xie Ying crawled next to Chu Qingyi and shook her body, "Qingyi...... Qingyi...... You can't sleep, you can't sleep, wake up...... Wake up......" He took the water, there were only a few last mouthfuls of water left in the bottle, he poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, and fed her water to Chu Qingyi's mouth, little by little, "Qingyi, wake up quickly, don't sleep, can't sleep......"
The last food and water are completely gone......
Tony and Shu Yan also fell unconscious one after another, while Su Han and Liang Bing were also gradually blurred, lying on both sides of the rubber raft, as if they would faint at any time......
Xie Ying looked at the five people lying on the rubber raft, and felt that his body was also driving him, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep......
"Can't sleep...... You can't sleep...... Arise, arise...... You can't sleep ......."
Xie Ying's body finally fell on the rubber raft......
