The sound of the waves.

Before I opened my eyes, the sound of the waves was always ringing in my ears, wave after wave, as if the breath of a person was echoing in my ears evenly and long. The salty sea breeze blew across my cheeks, drying my otherwise wet skin, and blowing my slightly messy hair and brushing my ears.

I frowned slightly, and finally opened my eyes.

In front of me, it was a clear blue.

As if the dream-like color flowed into my eyes, it seemed to fill the whole world, and I lost my mind for a while, and even wondered what was in front of me.

However, after only a moment's hesitation, the cold sea water had been swept by the wind, hit the beach, and suddenly annihilated my ankles, and the cold feeling suddenly pierced my heart, and I sat up from the beach.

"Ahh

With a body of mud and sand, full of seawater, as soon as I sat up, I immediately felt as if the whole body had been dismantled, and reloaded with the pain of breaking the muscles and bones, I couldn't help but exhale in pain, and immediately wanted to reach out and hug myself, but found that it seemed that both hands were not my own, cold and numb, this movement, the fingertips immediately came from the stinging pain like being pricked by countless needles.

My whole body curled up: "Hmm! ”

This pain finally cleared me up, and I sat there, and scenes suddenly appeared in my mind.

The dark night, the ravages of the storm......

Turbulent waters......

The ship fell silent, and the huge whirlpool stirred up made people feel as if they were about to tear people to pieces......

My eyes widened and I suddenly realized a terrible, almost desperate fact - our ship had sunk!

As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly looked up and saw myself on a sandy beach, surrounded by broken hulls, torn sails, hanging messily on the hideous and sharp wooden teeth, fluttering with the sea breeze.

But what about people?

My face was already pale, and although I was in labor pain all over my body, I gritted my teeth and insisted on standing up. I don't know how long I've been soaking in such water, and how long I've been floating in the sea, the skin on my palms has become white and swollen, and the soaked clothes are wrapped around my body, and when the wind blows, it's even more cold and biting.

I was at a loss, even a little flustered, and stood up and walked in the middle of the fragments of the scattered boat, and even wood chips were buried in the sand, which had already penetrated the soles of my feet, but I didn't feel the slightest pain, and still stumbled forward.

Here, where is it?

I floated along with these broken pieces of wood? What about the others?

In the end, we are-

Countless fears, unthinkable speculations surged up in my mind, as if the water that was constantly surging on the beach at this moment was slapping my ankles in waves, I hugged my arms, fell all the way to get up, the wolf bèi walked forward, the weakness of my body, the numbness of my limbs, the cold sea breeze, and the thirst in my throat like fire, all surged up at this moment, like thousands of poisonous snakes devouring me.

With each step, I felt like I might not be able to take the next step.

However, it was still like this step by step, as if walking on a charcoal fire, but still persevering in the footsteps. Leaving my footprints on the beach, even mixed with a faint trace of blood, I slowly walked forward.

Suddenly, I saw a large wreck of the ship in front of me, and there seemed to be a person lying on his stomach there.

I hurried over, but because my legs were weak, as soon as I ran to the man's side, the whole person fell down and was pressing on the man.

"Ahh

The man let out a muffled scream, and the whole person bounced up like a struggling fish.

And at a glance, I could see that the face was a little swollen and distorted by the sea, and although it was covered by wet and messy hair, I could still recognize her familiar face.

"Miss Zitong?"

“……”

She was completely stupid, and when she bounced up and sat there, her whole body was like a sculpture, and she even stayed there a little hard, looking at me with wide eyes, and then behind me, and then at me.

I hurriedly got up and sat down beside her: "Han Zitong? ”

This time, she finally had a reaction, and her dull gaze flickered.

However, instead of responding to me, he looked at me stupidly for a moment, and then looked behind me, at the rough and undulating sea, and the boundless sky that was connected to the sea.

After a while, she turned back and looked around.

Almost the same reaction as I did before.

I raised my somewhat stiff arm and gently grabbed her wrist, trying to calm down, but I trembled slightly and said, "Our ship capsized, and I walked here for a while, only seeing you and me." ”

“……”

"Hurry up, we two should take a look around while we still have the strength, what kind of place is this."

“……”

"Also, we need to find water, food, and a fire. We-"

Before I could finish my sentence, she had already interrupted me: "Where are we?" ”

“……”

"What kind of place is this?"

“……”

"What's going on with our ship?"

“……”

I looked at her, and the original feeling of powerlessness was even heavier at this moment, and I could barely bear the strength of my heartbeat.

The two of them sat a little stupidly on the wet and cold beach and looked at each other, the sea breeze blew through the already soaked clothes, and the cold feeling pierced into her heart, but she didn't seem to feel it at all, like a child, and looked at me in a daze. The only thing I could feel was her hand in my palm, trembling.

Together with the fragile light in her eyes, it was flickering constantly.

Taking a deep breath, I finally calmed my voice completely, and even with a hint of coldness, I said, "Our ship has sunk." ”

“……”

"You'd better get up quickly. We have to hurry up and find food and water while we still have the body. ”

“……”

"Hurry up!"

As I spoke, I had already struggled to stand up, and I couldn't help but drag her to her feet, and by this time she had completely lost her reaction, like a marionette, and I dragged her up, and I dragged her stumbling forward.

Time, with the ebb and flow of the waves, passes little by little.

We walked for a long, long time.

And the road under your feet seems to have no end.

The beach was full of wreckage from the broken hull of the ship, broken wood chips, sharp wooden teeth, and iron nails with a cold light shining on them, the tips of the nails were pointing upwards, several times, when Han Zitong walked by, she didn't even know how to dodge, or I pulled her to dodge.

The two of them just like this, they didn't have the strength to support each other, but they seemed to support each other, and after walking for a long time, even the blue water gradually turned into a deep blue, and so did the sky overhead.

But we didn't come to the end of the road.

What you see in front of you is a dense jungle with no end in sight, and behind you is the boundless sea.

The further I went, the deeper my heart sank, as if I was pinched hard by a black hand, and I threw myself into a bottomless black pool, and it was difficult to see the light of day.

Because at this time, I have realized that this is not the landlock.

It's not like it's an inhabited island.

Of all the previous speculations, we came across the worst one.

Beyond the sound of the waves, there was only my heartbeat and the sound of Han Zitong's increasingly heavy breathing. Her breathing was so heavy that I didn't even feel like I could hold it anymore, along with her body.

At this moment, she stumbled under her feet, and I was about to fall, so I hurriedly reached out and pulled her.

However, she didn't even struggle, and just fell to the ground, her long, black, wet hair falling down and covering her face.

I hurriedly tugged at her wrist: "Hurry up, are you okay?" ”

"......" She sat there on her knees, motionless.

"Han Zitong."

“……”

"You-"

I tried to say something, but my voice was hoarse.

I saw her look up, and the sea breeze blew away her long hair, revealing her pale, graceful face, which was full of tears, which were still pouring down from her eyes, drop by drop, dripping onto the sand, and disappearing from the ground.

“……”

For a moment, I was chopping in my throat and unable to speak.

She looked up at me, and when she spoke, her voice was completely fragmented in the sea breeze: "We...... Isn't it, isn't it-"

“……”

"Can't we go back?"

“……”

"Are we going to die here, no one knows? Are we going to die? ”

“……”

At this moment, all the fear, helplessness, dazedness, and even despair welled up in my heart, followed by hot tears, which almost filled my eyes, and the hand I was holding her was already trembling uncontrollably, as if the next moment was about to be shattered with our vitality.

I almost, almost, was about to cry.

However, looking at the tears on her face and feeling her trembling, I bit my lower lip tightly, and even bit my lip at once, and the bloody blood forced the tears back.

I swallowed all the tears and sourness, and choked up, "I'm not dead yet, don't be afraid." ”

“……”

"Don't be afraid, it's not the first time I've encountered this kind of thing."

“……”

"Don't worry, follow me, you won't die!"

"But—" My words were not enough to comfort her, especially in the face of the almost desperate situation at the moment, and she could not trust anyone as defenseless as she was, she looked at me in sorrow, and at last she could not help herself, and began to cry out loud.

However, even such cries dissipated immediately in the sea breeze.

A person's sorrow, in the wind and rain of such a great era, was originally just a sigh.

I sighed and leaned down slightly, holding her trembling with both hands.

Or maybe it's me who is trembling.
