Seven of us floated on the sea, with the ups and downs of the waves, in order not to be washed away, seven people hugged each other's waists, forming a straight line, because the diving helmet has a soundproof function, after entering the water, although I saw everyone's mouths open and closed, but I couldn't hear any sound, and finally the fat man took the lead in taking off the helmet, and made a gesture to signal us to take it off.

When everyone was able to talk, we hugged each other's waists, discussed in place, and decided to continue swimming, because when there were no waves, the tide was downstream, bringing the wind board from the front to the back, and only when the storm started, did it push the wind board back and forward, that is, the reef area, which should be in front of our original route.

Then, we selected the best people in the water to take turns to move forward, swimming forward all the way, the first person floated with the direction, and the people behind swooped their feet, saving the upper body strength and lower body strength respectively, so that they moved forward alternately, and swam for more than half an hour before finally seeing the reef area.

The reef belt is large, but many of the reefs have been submerged due to the tides, and only a few particularly prominent reefs are still rising above sea level. We chose the reef with the largest flat cut area to climb up and sit on it to catch our breath.

The reef is three or four meters above sea level, and as long as the storm does not increase further, then we will not be in danger.

At that time, after everyone's breath had calmed down, no one spoke.

"What's next?" Grey Rat asked.

Everyone looked at me, I slowed down, knowing that this operation was going to be completely exhausted, there was not even a boat, and I wanted to go forward, it was simply wishful thinking, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "There are no ships out of the sea here, there should be ships cruising, let's wait, hold on for ten days and half a month, we should be able to get out of trouble." The fat man thought for a moment and said, "If Uncle Navy asks us what we do, how should we answer?" ”

I rolled my eyes and said, "It's a lot old, don't pretend to be tender, what a naval uncle, it's a little brother in the navy, when I saw them, I said that we were self-help snorkelers." "After that, we didn't say anything.

This sea area, in fact, is already remote, although there are also ships passing by, but it is estimated that there will be one in ten days and half a month, fortunately here is the sea, the most important thing is to eat, but it is very difficult.

Everyone after this, the mood is very depressed, I see that this is not the way, so I beckoned a few people, with a rain cloth, on the reef set up a suggested rain shelter tent, like a green mushroom on the sea, I look at it, I feel very proud, the material of the rain cloth, in the sun is already eye-catching, such an eye-catching thing here, we have more chances of being found.

Seeing that the fat man was demoralized, he was about to tell us a meat joke to mention the atmosphere, but I couldn't help kicking him and said, "Damn, seven big men, what kind of meat jokes are you talking about, who is responsible for what happened?" "This trip has come to naught, I can only pin my hopes on Lao Lei now, I want to be able to listen to meat jokes now, unless I have the wrong nerves.

"Fuck." The fat man was angry and said, "I'm responsible." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and finally Tongzi couldn't help but turn his face away, his shoulders shook, and he sneered. I couldn't help but shake my head, and said in my heart that if this fat man is really responsible, I have to think about how I can drown faster if I take off my wetsuit and jump into the sea.

The fat man also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face suddenly became depressed, and he got up and went to the other side of the reef, not knowing what to do.

The reef is oval-shaped, the top is relatively flat, about four meters long and two meters wide, and when I saw the fat man at the other end, I didn't follow, and beckoned everyone to take off their diving suits, pack up their equipment, and shrank into the rain basin together.

Now in November, the weather is very cold, all of us are soaked, and there is no spare one, and when we enter the tent, we take off only our underwear, huddle together, our teeth are clucking for warmth, and our pants are so cold that we can't even take off our underwear.

We didn't rescue the smokeless stove, and in addition to the torrential rain, we couldn't make a fire at all, and the six of us huddled together, hissing in our mouths, and I thought in my heart that if we continue like this, sooner or later we will die of illness.

Thinking that the fat man was still in the rain outside, he shouted: "I said fat man, come back, is it a small mistake or not?" As soon as I finished speaking, the rain cloth was lifted away, the fat man shrank in, and held a bunch of things in his arms, I looked at it, and couldn't help but scold my mother, it turned out to be a shellfish creature, and the dead fat man was looking for food, how long did it take, and I was hungry again.

The fat man had already dragged his wetsuit, glanced at the six of us, shook his head, and said something that the world was going down, and I wanted to kick him back into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man sat down on the side, moved the shellfish creatures away one by one, and the mustache's eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Oil clams." ”

The fat man said proudly: "The kid is good, he has vision." As soon as the mustache said this, I was immediately happy.

Oil clam is a highly flammable shellfish, ignited on fire, generally only living in reef groups far from the shore, rich in deep-sea fish oil, high nutritional value. Due to the difficulty of collection, the market price is also relatively high.

The fat man peeled the clams, piled up about three catties of clams, and then used a lighter to ignite the fire.

After about three minutes of burning, our bodies began to warm up, and then the fat man took out a piece of burnt brown clam meat from it, shook it in front of me with his fingers, and then put it in his mouth: "Fragrant, really fragrant." ”

I smelled the smell, and my mouth immediately began to secrete saliva, and immediately poked it with a dagger, and when I saw that I also moved, the rest of the people couldn't hold it steady, and the group ate clam meat while roasting the fire, and in the end, I had the illusion that I was actually out on a trip.

In order to keep the fire going, we took turns to rest, and the rest of the people took turns to go into the water to pick clams on the nearby reef, and from dawn until evening, the storm still showed no signs of abating, and I was keeping vigil at night, and the rain cloth was suddenly lifted, and I looked at it, and found that it was a gray rat wearing a diving suit that went out to collect oil clams, but strangely, he did not have a single clam in his hand.

Through the transparent helmet cover, I found that the gray mouse's face was not very good-looking, probably because he didn't catch the clams, and returned empty-handed, so I was very depressed, I thought to myself that he was still young after all, so I comforted: "It's okay, take off the diving suit, I'll look for it again." ”

The gray mouse shook his head, opened his helmet, pointed outside, and said eagerly: "Angkor, there is a boat outside." I was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person jumped up and said, "Where?" ”

"Not far! The boat is brightly lit. He said.

I immediately kicked the fat man awake and said, "Don't sleep, hurry, the ship is coming." The fat man yawned one second ago, but immediately came to his senses the next, and a carp sat up and said, "What kind of boat?" ”

I looked at the gray mouse and suddenly realized that something was wrong, because there was no joy on his face.

I knew right away that something was wrong, so I asked him with my eyes what was going on.

"It was supposed to be a private boat, iron-claded, and they found me, but ...... They wouldn't let us go up and drove away. He said.

I was stunned, and my heart said that it shouldn't, normal people will not do such things, Chinese people are happy to help others, and ordinary people will not stand idly by and watch this kind of thing that can save a few lives, unless the ship is driven by some murderous pirate.

I inquired in detail, and the gray mouse said: "No, it's a foreigner's ship, I don't understand what they say, but I gestured to them and said they wanted to get on the boat, they shook their heads and ignored people, I waited in the water for a long time, and there was no hanging ladder to put down, but their boat was moving forward and did not stop." ”

At this time, the rest of the people also woke up, and Tongzi scolded: "Damn gringos." ”

The big mole said: "What's the use of scolding, that boat is probably doing something shady." I glanced at the crowd, and then asked the fat man with my eyes what he thought. The fat man thought for a moment and analyzed: "Naive, this place is biased enough, why did you say that a group of foreigners suddenly came?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a foreign compatriot who is conducting some kind of investigation." ”

"Ahh He said: "If you really do serious things, I wish to save a few more people to make headlines, I guess, these people are just like the black hair mole said, what kind of shady deed, let's not make up our minds about it." "I understand what the fat man means, if this is the case, if we keep up, it is estimated that there is still the possibility of being killed, this sea is very chaotic, if you kill someone and throw it into the sea, you will not even leave a single hair.

I nodded, I agreed with the fat man's meaning, and decided to wait a while, and then go out again to collect oil clams, but before I could speak, the gray mouse hesitated: "Angkor, I have seen, there is a Chinese above, it looks quite good-looking, or let's try our luck, birds in this place do not chickens do not lay eggs, it is not a way to stay like this, miss this ship, who knows where the next one will be?" ”

"Face goodness?" The fat man exclaimed: "Boy, the fat man looks at you and looks good, but he doesn't see what a good thing you are." ”

The gray mouse suddenly made a bitter face and said, "Fat man, don't shiver at me, I know what my face looks like, and my face can't touch me." ”

While they were talking, I thought about it, the gray mouse's words were not unreasonable, what is the origin of this ship, I have to explore it to rest assured, but so many people go, it is too complicated, so I let the gray mouse lead the way, the fat man and I went into the water, and cooperated with his brother, which was convenient.

After a while, the three of us put on our equipment, and swam all the way forward, our speed was not fast, but fortunately, the current surged, and the puppets wore diving equipment, and the smooth water propelled quickly, only about five minutes, in front of us, a large ship appeared, similar to the size of our previous clipper, but iron-claded, and painted with fireproof white paint, like a miniature version of the warship, it looks very regular.

I can't help but wonder if this equipment doesn't look like it's an underworld business.

Since this was a reef area, the boat deliberately slowed down, so we quickly swam to the side of the boat, the boat was brightly lit and very advanced, and it was not at the same level as our clipper from the black factory, just as the three of us were walking around the boat, the fat man suddenly stopped, and one hand pinched my waist.

I couldn't help but take a breath, and said in my heart Where did I provoke you, I went to the sea and killed me, who knew that at this time, the fat man turned his head violently, and pointed his hand upward, I looked up along the direction he pointed, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, because I saw an acquaintance who I couldn't think of anyway.

It's a German little dragon girl!

The fat man obviously couldn't believe it, he followed for a long time, gently opened the helmet, and said to me: "Comrade naïve, you let me slap it, why does the fat man think that there is a problem with his eyesight recently." ”

I said, "Why don't you smoke yourself." I said, staring at the German beauty leaning in the command room, a foreigner is emotional, she is leaning against the glass at the moment, probably admiring the storm at sea, because of the distance, I can't see her specific expression, but just her presence here, I already feel shocked.

The fat man didn't say anything, seeing that my eyes were straight, obviously understanding that I was seeing the same thing, he shook his head incredulously, and lowered his voice and said, "This woman is not dead yet!" ”

I didn't want her to die, but now that she's alive, I feel like my whole heart is sinking, because it might mean that Passerby A is dead. I don't know how I feel about him, but subconsciously, I want him to live well.

The gray mouse also took off his helmet and said in surprise: "Angkor, you know each other?" I didn't answer him, and the fat man looked at each other, and understood what each other meant, so the fat man put his hands to his mouth and yelled angrily: "Good girl, look who is coming." ”

The figure of the German beauty sitting in the command room moved, and a moment later, the window opened, and she poked her head out, her curly hair instantly wet from the torrential rain, and I could almost clearly see the shock in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the German beauty retracted her head, presumably leaving the command room, and a moment later there were footsteps on the deck, and a suspension ladder was thrown down.

The three of us climbed up the hanging ladder, only to see a German beauty wearing a raincoat, followed by three German men, she directly jumped up and gave a hug, and said in more broken Chinese: "Wu, it's great to see you here, thank God." ”

The fat man said: "Don't, don't thank God, thank me for the fat man, without me covering him, your Ang brother would have reported to God a long time ago." ”

The German beauty understood the fat man's personality and wanted to talk to him, but when she saw that we were all still raining, she took me by the hand and beckoned everyone into the house.

I have a very complicated heart, I don't know what it's like, looking at the joy that the German beauty seems to be sincere and exuding, I don't know if it's true or not, I'm glad that such a lovely person is still alive, but at the same time, I have another thought, why is she not dead?

With this mixed feelings, we entered a lounge arranged by the German beauty, and I told her directly that there were teammates waiting for rescue on the reef, and the German beauty seemed to be the leader, without saying a word, beckoning to turn the bow of the boat to save people, and then, I prepared some food, as well as a hot shower, and even a full set of clothes.

When we were washed away by the hot water, the cold and stiff muscles of the whole person seemed to melt, and the comfortable people were dizzy and didn't want to think about anything.
