Chapter 167: Let's Socialize
The keel transverse plate under the raft broke once, but Naoto Yoshiwara learned the art of driving the raft. The ancient Incas mastered the principle of levers very early, with the mast that eats the power of the wind as the center, and the raft is divided into two parts, the front and the back, like the two ends of the lever. On the other hand, when the keel plate in front of the raft is more difficult, the course will remain straight, and the wind moves to make the wooden oar not need to be operated - Nana Hoshino knows that the keel transverse board should be installed, but the sea-crossing raft has been eliminated for many years, and the book is written briefly, so she can only follow the cat and draw the tiger, and she does not know how to use it at all.
The five keel transoms should be movable, the depth of entry into the sea can be changed at any time, and at the same time, they can be used with the long oar, plus the sail, which is enough to become the operating system of the entire sea crossing raft.
Naoto Yoshiwara didn't realize this until he drifted to the sea, and he no longer had the conditions for large-scale changes, so he could only dive under the raft every day to adjust according to the changes in the current, and he didn't have the joy of learning the new skill of "driving a large balsa raft".
Having fully mastered the method of operation, the raft was more compliant. The head is often slightly tilted to separate the waves, and the feeling of jolting is greatly reduced, and the swells on both sides are also reduced. They finally got rid of the dilemma of sitting on a "big cork", but really had a controllable tool to cross the sea.
Nana Hoshino no no longer complains about boredom, and after experiencing the storm, she also began to feel better calm. However, Naoto Yoshiwara dives up and down the sea and finds a new toy for her.
He raised a large rattan basket and put Hoshino in it so that she could go down to the sea to study the fish, so that even if she suddenly encountered a shark visit, she could huddle in the basket and stay still, and the shark would have no idea.
Nana Hoshino quickly became hooked on the game, crawling into the basket on her own as soon as the wind and waves were a little lighter, and actively visiting the aquarium as if she were in a hurry to sell herself—not through the glass wall, but the real ocean.
The light seen in the sea is different from that on the ground, the light in the sea is circulating, bizarre, and deformed, and the light does not have a direction like in the ground and sky, but is refracted by the current, showing a dreamlike style. Even if you just enter the sea a few meters deep, you can see the deep sea very far away.
Due to the refraction of the sun's rays, the deep sea is not as dark as ordinary people imagine, but has a charming blue and purple light and shadow, as if it is within reach. The fish in the deep sea can also be seen clearly, swimming so slowly and leisurely, very much like a group of elegant gentlemen.
Naoto Yoshihara yawned and stood on the edge of the raft, waiting for Nana Hoshino to hold her breath and pull the rope. Ruri Nishikujo sat far away, quietly looking at the sea.
She didn't have to come to Yoshihara Hoshino and them, but there were only three people on the monotonous sea, and the loneliness was magnified exponentially, and even those who liked to be alone in this environment for ten days and half a month would like to see more living people.
That super embarrassing kiss was already yesterday, and Naoto Yoshihara had long since left it behind. He didn't want to ruin Ruri Nishikujo's life, the relationship between them was not yet love, not to the point of being crazy enough to be desperate.
He was treated as Nishikujo Ruri who escaped death, had a temporary endocrine disorder, was mentally unstable and did something stupid, but he really threw away that trace of regret - it is impossible for two people, it is impossible for him to be a son-in-law, and it is impossible for Nishikujou Ruri to elope with him, so pull it down as soon as possible!
What's more, there is also a Miki Momomiya sandwiched between them, and there are moral issues.
The so-called constant interruption is chaotic. This is the right time to use it.
Calm down, Naoto Yoshihara's attitude towards Nishikujo Ruri has changed a lot, and he no longer avoids her, and has returned to getting along normally, and this attitude is the relaxed atmosphere that Nishikujo Ruri likes, occasionally giving him a smile.
"Do you want to go down and have a look?" asked Naoto Yoshihara with a smile after sticking his head into the sea and looking at it for a while, making sure that Hoshino was okay.
Nishikujo Ruri just sat all day, and he felt very melancholy, not at all like the woman who looked at everything gloomily like a poisonous snake staring at a frog when he first met.
The contrast was so great that he was a little uneasy.
"Me?" Nishikujo Ruri was stunned for a moment, looked up at the fierce sun, hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay!"
After Naoto Yoshiwara sacrificed her life to save her, she was not too wary, and she was no longer worried about diving into the sea, Naoto Yoshiwara smiled and cut the rope desperately on it, and at the same time she was a little curious about what was in the sea.
Nana Hoshino is so happy that she has to soak in the sea for five or six hours a day, so there must be something interesting.
Naoto Yoshihara smiled at her, then silently calculated the time, thinking that Nana Hoshino had been down there long enough, and dragged her up without waiting for her to pull the rope.
Nana Hoshino was lying on the deck panting, with a very unhappy expression on her little face, feeling that it was not time to come up, but her mouth was busy panting and she didn't have time to speak. Naoto Yoshihara then asked Nishikujo Ruri to put her in a basket, and then slowly sank her into the sea.
The raft was moving forward, dragging the basket slightly tilted, and Nishikujo Ruri covered his mouth and nose, and found that it was no wonder that Hoshino Nana always wanted to come down, and it turned out that under the raft was a "big garden".
The light in the sea is soft, and after getting used to the dry sun of the tropics, just looking at this light makes people feel comfortable, and there are turquoise seaweeds and sea vines under the raft, and the branches and leaves are spread with the current, and the emerald green streamer is swinging, making people feel the vigorous breath of life - I haven't seen real green for a long time.
Ruri Nishikujo stretched out her hand and pulled these sea vines to wander through the "garden" at the bottom of the raft. The zebra-striped navigation fish has a serious expression, and it is lined up in a neat queue under the raft to accompany the progress, and the navigation fish, which is also considered a navigation fish, thinks that it has met a good owner, and sucks its flat head tightly on the log, only its slender tail swaying with the current.
There are also shells, and when Nishikujo Ruri pulls out the seaweed, he sees a dense white and yellow red shellfish, which is open and uses its gills to absorb oxygen and food, and when he sees the change in the flow of water, he quickly closes his mouth, which is very interesting.
Looking at this, Nishikujo Ruri couldn't help but show a smile that looked very childlike, clean and pure.
A big fish that shone silver, like a torpedo, swam over, circled around the rattan basket a few times, and then followed by Nishikujo Ruri, who had no fear of life at all, and even Nishikujo Ruri curiously reached out and stroked its cold and smooth scales, and it didn't react, just swam beside it stupidly, and didn't know what the basket was.
Nishikujo Ruri was fascinated by this strange scenery that she had never seen before, forgot the time and forgot the discomfort of lack of oxygen, and lingered until the basket was dragged back diagonally by the rope.
The big silver fish swung its tail and followed the basket, staring at Ruri Nishikujo with a pair of big emotionless eyes, as if wondering why she was leaving.
Isn't it good here?
Ruri Nishikujo touched it one last time, gave it a smile, and was dragged back to the raft by Naoto Yoshihara. She gasped for breath like Nana Hoshino had just done, and looked up to thank Naoto Yoshiwara, but when she saw that he was holding a harpoon and preparing to fork fish, she quickly raised her hand to stop him and shouted softly, "Don't!"
She didn't want to hurt the big silver fish that had been with her just now.
Naoto Yoshiwara wondered, "What's the matter? There's a big tuna, don't you all say it's delicious?"
Nishikujo Ruri turned his head to look at the sea, and saw a slender, wide, flat brown fish swinging its tail away, and couldn't help but wonder: "I thought you were going to ...... Just now I met a big silver fish in the sea that kept following me, and I thought you were going to catch it. ”
Naoto Yoshihara was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Looking at fish on the sea and watching fish in the sea are two different looks, and the big silver fish you are talking about is the big brown fish that swam away just now." ”
Nishikujo Ruri was stunned for a while, the difference is so big, it still looks quite cute in the sea, and it looks like an ordinary fish from the raft, and it doesn't feel unusual.
While the two were talking, Nana Hoshino had already gotten into the basket by herself, and threw herself into the sea again, splashing a lot of waves.
Naoto Yoshihara wiped the water off his face, laughed and cursed, took the harpoon and looked around to see if there were any sharks, and then probed into the sea to see if the rope was knotted, and then began to sit and wait by the raft again.
Nishikujo Ruri didn't hide far this time and sat directly next to him.
Naoto Yoshihara smiled and tilted his head sideways and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Nishikujo Ruri was rarely unreserved, and gave a positive reply directly, "I feel that everything is very pure and very beautiful." ”
Naoto Yoshihara smashed his mouth and agreed: "It's a pity that there are too many people's **, otherwise it's not bad to live like this all the time...... Everyone likes the simple place, don't think about it so much!"
The only thing to worry about here is the threat of nature - even the cause of death is simple - it is indeed a good place to escape from the world, but unfortunately there are not many things that are too uncomfortable for man, such as the pain of being forced to quit smoking and drinking.
"Don't you have to think about it so much?" Nishikujo Ruri stretched out her arms to feel the sea breeze, but unfortunately she was now on the edge of the windless zone, and the air flow was mostly upward, and the sea breeze was not strong, so there was no way to make her long hair flutter in the wind, otherwise it must be beautiful.
Ruri Nishikujo took a deep breath of salty air, and when she lowered her hand, she grabbed Naoto Yoshihara's arm and leaned on his shoulder.
Naoto Yoshihara looked at her in surprise and said with a smile: "Crazy again?
Nishikujo Ruri looked at the unchanged sea, and chuckled: "No, it should be impossible for you and Nishikujou Ruri!" There was some bitterness between her eyebrows, "Nishikujo Ruri wants to inherit the family business, live up to the expectations of her grandparents, take political achievements, meet the high and low, deal with disgusting people, intrigue with others, beware of other people's plots, she is unhappy in her life - she has never been happy since she was a child!"
Nishikujo Ruri looked at Naoto Yoshiwara and showed a bright smile that he had never seen before, "I suddenly want to live for myself for a few days! I'm me, Nishikujo Ruri is Nishikujo Ruri! I understand my mother a little, no wonder she married my father...... Also, you are much worse than my father, at that time my father tried hard to fight, and was chased and killed, and successfully escaped with my mother, and you just gave up. ”
She turned her head to look at Naoto Yoshiwara.
She thinks she is still relatively good, and her talents and looks are excellent, and yesterday's reaction to this man made her very annoyed - no man has ever really entered her heart, she has dozens of blind date experiences (arranged by the family), there is no shortage of men who are excellent in all aspects, and none of them are eye-catching.
It wasn't until Naoto Yoshihara gave up his life in the storm and exchanged his death for her life that she was thrilled.
For the first time in her life, she was tempted.
She has never had that kind of experience, she has never experienced the peace of mind when she is rescued, she has never experienced the kind of male instinct and determination, and she has never rather tear herself apart than stand up just to save a man. She felt romantic...... Romance between life and death.
The moment she was thrown into the raft, she felt a deep shock, and she never forgot it after she fell into a coma - she had a very absurd dream, in which Naoto Yoshiwara drowned, and she promised not to marry for the rest of her life, but she gave birth to three children, one each of Nishikujo, Mai, and Yoshiwara, all of whom had the same eyebrows and eyes as Naoto Yoshihara, and called her sister around Nana Hoshino.
When she woke up, her first reaction was to look for the man, and she saw it right away. Can't describe the reaction at that moment. Great joy filled the atrium, the blood seemed to freeze, and the mind went blank.
By the time he reacted, his hand was already caressing the man's face, and the fingertips were touching like he had never felt before...... Warm and reassuring.
But after she desperately explained the difficulties with a cold face, how much she hoped that this man would be as tough as that decisive shot, and unceremoniously declared that all this was not right, and that she would be snatched away by hitting her door, or that she could accept it if she was willing to accept it - he made fun of her, she was not angry, and took the initiative to kiss him, but in exchange for no reaction!
What a weak and incompetent man!
She was a little unwilling that her original intention was such a result, and after looking at Naoto Yoshiwara in a daze, she asked seriously, "Am I not attractive to you?"
Naoto Yoshiwara was dumbfounded, this attraction is still very sufficient, but I can't admit it!
He comforted softly: "Don't think about it, we can reach our destination alive." He kind of understood, Ruri Nishikujo was scared, she had been scared during the night of the last storm - she had already started to worry about dying, otherwise she wouldn't have done that kind of thing and said such a thing.
Nishikujo Ruri raised her face and asked softly, "Who is sure it will arrive?"
Her strength is artificially built, and it is she herself who forces herself to be strong. Her courage does not come from her heart, but she must be brave in the hope of others. She didn't really fall into a desperate situation, she didn't have the experience of wandering between life and death, and suddenly experienced a desperate experience, and a strong sense of fear swept through her heart afterwards.
She was scared, she flinched, she was afraid that the next storm was coming, and she began to want to escape, feeling that there was no future - this situation required a visit to a psychiatrist, somewhat similar to survivor trauma, feeling that her life was picked up and that she could indulge at will.
Yoshiwara Naoto was thinking about how to enlighten her, but when he saw Nishikujo Ruri turn his head, he said softly: "Let's socialize, only on this raft - I think a few days will not be the day of Nishikujo Ruri!"
