Chapter 61: Survived

I sat silently beside Sun Li's corpse for a long time, looking at this dead woman, I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my heart many times, as if I really wanted her to turn over and come back to life, but time gradually passed, and I finally sighed.

I didn't want to drink too much water, just drank a few sips, relieved my thirst, rested for a while, and then felt that I had a little more strength, I sat next to Sun Li, looked at her, knowing that she couldn't hear anymore, but I couldn't help but whisper to her: "Thank you!" ”

Then I dragged her up, pulled her hard to the side of the boat, and let go of my hand......

Sun Li's body fell into the sea, slowly sank, and disappeared little by little...... I couldn't help but dip my head in the water, open my eyes in the water, and watch her sink down a little bit under the water...... Her body stiffened, her arms slowly spread, and her hair was curled up by the sea and scattered.

It wasn't until I couldn't hold my breath anymore and my eyes hurt from the sea that I shrank back and lay on the boat gasping for breath.

I told myself I couldn't do it.

I had to push Sun Li's body into the sea and put it on the boat, where it would stink in the sun and wind.

This extreme woman, she finally had a little conscience before she died...... May she rest in peace.

Originally, I was desperate, thinking that I was going to die this time, but now I suddenly got this half bottle of glucose water...... In despair, people suddenly see a glimmer of hope, even if it is just a very small and subtle little bit, they will instinctively use all of it to catch it!

So do I!

I don't know if this bottle of water will last me through it alive, but at least I see a glimmer of hope now! At least I don't have to die for a while! Don't die now!

I was reluctant to drink it all at once, and only when I couldn't support it anymore did I allow myself to drink only one small sip, a very small sip!

I'm starting to fight for my own survival!

By the direction of the sun, I made out the direction, and then I took the oars and began to row, I was rowing to the east, and according to my judgment, at least I saw the gunboat chasing the stowaway, which was the flag of Canada, so I think my current position should not be far from the west coast of Canada......

It was pure blind judgment in despair, but I still tried to encourage myself.

I started rowing and rested for a while when I was tired, although I knew that I was trying to paddle for half a day when I encountered the currents. It's easy to get off the beaten track...... But at least it's better than lying back and waiting to die doing nothing...

Glucose water not only quenches my thirst, but also allows me to replenish my energy.

Relying on this half bottle of water, I held on for another two days...... Two days later, I wasn't dead, but I had only one breath left.

His body was as soft as cotton, he had no strength at all, and his stomach was so hungry that he couldn't even feel it...... At first, my stomach cramps were uncomfortable, but then my stomach didn't feel anymore, I just felt empty, and looking at the money in the bag, I really wanted to eat the money!

But I knew that if it was a blank slate, maybe I would have eaten it...... But the banknote, which is printed with ink, is equivalent to death if eaten.

The turning point finally came on the third day!

The mineral water bottle is empty...... Not a drop can be poured out.

I licked the mouth of the bottle with my dry tongue, but I couldn't lick a drop of water, but I felt the tip of my tongue greedily, as if I could feel a trace of touch, and I could feel the little residual sweetness on the wall of the bottle......

The wind has changed! I looked up at the sky in surprise and found that the sun that had been basking me for so long had finally disappeared, the clouds on the horizon began to accumulate and thicken, and the waves on the sea began to become violent......

If I'm not mistaken, a storm is coming!

I was indeed very thirsty and hungry, but my body was also very cold, and my whole body was numb from the cold, but at this time I struggled to get up, and I picked up the bag on the boat with all my strength, and tied the three bags together, so that maybe I could add a little weight and be good for stability, and then I pulled the rope on the rubber raft, carefully tied myself twice, and sat quietly on the boat, holding the oar in my hand, clenching it, and fixing it on my hand, quietly waiting for the storm to come!

The waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, and the hull of the ship went up and down, and finally there was a thunderstorm in the sky......

I only felt my body tremble, as if the whole sea was raging at once! A wave tossed my raft up and started the storm!

I couldn't open my eyes anymore, the rain was almost without warning, and I tried to fix my body, and at the same time rowed with the oars, the rubber boat was thrown up and down like a roller coaster, and I was afraid that I would be thrown out a few times, but fortunately there was a rope under my feet, and I opened my mouth, but unfortunately although the rain was heavy, it couldn't fall much in my mouth.

I felt my rubber raft being tossed up and down I don't know how many times, and each time I thought I was really doomed this time! But after each time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was still alive!

The boat is constantly rising and falling in the waves, and it may be subverted at any time! I should be fortunate that the storm came violently and quickly, but it also disappeared quickly!

Just as suddenly as it had begun, as if after a big wave, I suddenly felt a decrease in speed, and the boat fell into a wave and gradually subsided...... The clouds cleared in an instant, the sun came through again, and I even felt that the light was colored!

Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was already a lot of water in the raft! I cried out almost with joy, took out the bottle and carefully filled it first, threw myself on the raft and tried to drink it to my heart's content, and finally thought for a while......

Without hesitation, I took out a canvas bag full of money, emptied the money, and carefully filled the stagnant water with the canvas bag.

I don't think I'm dying of thirst, at least for the time being!

For the first time in my life, I suddenly felt that drinking water was so luxurious, such a happy thing!

The day that followed, my heart was filled with hope! I was already exhausted, but suddenly I felt that I had some strength again! The feeling of hunger still tormented me, but I started to pick up the oars and row again!

In the evening, I finally saw a little sail shadow in the distance!

A boat came towards me, the hull was a little old, and I could even see the rust on it, and the sails on the mast, with long netting hanging from the sides......

I immediately recognized it as a fishing boat!

I immediately got up from the raft, raised my arms and waved vigorously, and at the same time used all the strength of my life, and shouted loudly!

The boat spotted me, and I was relieved that there was a very shrill whistle from the boat!

A string that has been tightly held in my heart for several days has finally loosened! I was like an athlete who had suddenly finished 10,000 meters, and the moment I crossed the finish line, all my strength left me, I felt my legs go limp, and my brain began to dizzy......

The boat began to shake in my sight...... No, it's not that it's shaking, it's me shaking! I tried to open my eyes, but I found that the shadow of the ship in front of me was getting blurred......

Hell, it's getting closer, but it's blurry......

I subconsciously raised my hand to rub my eyes, but at this time my body was weak...... Thump!

I fell into the sea!

The icy water covered the top of my head and poured through my mouth, and I had lost my instincts, just that it was dark in front of me...... It's dark......

............................................

A bright light hit my eyeballs, I felt some pain in my eyes, my head was dizzy, I tried hard to open my eyes, but I always felt that my eyelids did not obey......

Not only my eyes, but I couldn't even feel my own body, as if my body had been completely separated from my consciousness, I could only vaguely see what seemed to be a room around me, a flashlight shaking in front of me, and the light shining on my eyeballs.

Instinctively, I rolled my eyes a few times, and immediately heard a few chattering conversations in my ears, and I regained a little consciousness and finally understood why I couldn't control my eyelids......

My eyelids were propped open by one hand......

Then the man let go of his hand, and my eyelids gradually closed, and the last thing I realized was that I saw what appeared to be a sign on the wall...... It's in English, so I can't read it, but I still feel some joy in my heart.

I affirmed one thing......

I'm alive!

Once I had this in mind, I fell asleep again......

......................................................

β€œ!@#$$%%$^^”

I don't know how long later, I woke up, someone was talking to me in my ear, I was a little dazed, I couldn't understand a word, I struggled to open my eyes and look at the people around me.

A muscular-looking man, wearing a pair of fat pants with a strap, stood in front of me, fairly clean, except with a lot of beard on his face and a very high nose, very strong, very tall.

I tried to open my mouth: "I don't understand what you're saying. ”

He saw me open my eyes and speak, a look of surprise on his face, followed by a long list of words, followed by a shout......

As he shouted, I looked around, it was clearly a cabin, the space was cramped, full of fishy smell, the bed underneath me was hard, but it was warm, and I was covered with a blanket.

A man walked in, wearing a thick coat, somewhat dirty, and to my attention, he was wearing a hat, as if it were one of those captain's hats, tall, but thin, with a mug in his hand.

The man walked in, first said something to the strong man, and then the strong man went out, and the man sat down beside me and handed me the cup first.

I hesitated for a moment and took it, it was a hot cup of coffee, I took two sips and felt much more comfortable.

This man looked very strange, and I made sure that he wasn't a white man, but he didn't seem to be a purebred yellow either...... I guess it's half-blood, I can tell from the color of his skin, the height of the bridge of his nose, and the contours of his facial features.

Then he spoke to me, in English.

This time I understood, because what he said was very short, just a word.

"North Koreans?"

"Koreans?"

I shook my head.

He went on to ask: "The Japanese? ”

β€œNO!” I loudly denied it.

"Chinese?"

β€œYES。” I nodded.

He grinned, his teeth were a little yellow, but he smiled kindly, and then he stammered at me, this time in Chinese! It's not standard, and it's obviously a bit stiff, and some of the words don't make sense, but at least I can barely understand what he means.

"Hello! Welcome...... Come aboard, I, Captain, Wick! ”

When he said that he was on the boat, it sounded like "get into bed", but instead of laughing, I looked at him very seriously: "Thank you, Captain Wick...... You saved my life! I was afraid that he would not understand, so I said "thank you" again in English.

At least thank you for the word, I still understand.

Thankfully, he understood me, and then he asked me a few more questions.

I hesitated for a moment and told him frankly that I was a stowaway, that I was undocumented and that I didn't speak English.

Wick shrugged his shoulders, not too surprised, then he stood up and looked at me with a very serious expression: "Ma'am, you don't have to be too grateful for the act of saving you, because that's what any conscientious crew member at sea would do...... But for your identity, I have to say...... You've got me in big trouble! Big, big trouble! ”

He was afraid that I would not understand, so he gestured with his hand and made a very large gesture.

"You...... Have you called the police? "I was a little nervous.

Captain Wick looked at me for a moment and shook his head slowly, "No. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and he then smiled at me: "You're lucky because you're Chinese...... My mother, too, was smuggled to Canada when she was young! ”

I looked at him and didn't speak.

However, Wick's tone changed, and he looked at me very seriously: "If you are just a stowaway, I can not call the police, and when we get to the next port, you can sneak off the ship, I can pretend that I don't know...... But now, you've caused a big problem for my ship! ”

I looked at him and didn't speak.

Wick took a step back and pointed to the corner, "Those, is that yours?" Are you really just a stowaway? ”

I glanced around the corner...... That's two packs...... Inside are those dollars!

I see, Wick is suspicious of my identity! It is impossible for a stowaway to carry such a huge sum of money!

"Ma'am, I now suspect that your identity is not just a stowaway, I even suspect that you may be a drug dealer or a smuggler of arms! You know, on the sea, only these two kinds of people will carry so much money! And it's cash! ”

I had calmed down, and looking at this Captain Wick, I thought, "What are you trying to say by telling me this......

Suddenly, I saw a strange look in his eyes...... I've seen too much of this gaze lately.

It's a kind of greed!

I immediately steadied myself and took a deep breath, "Captain Wick, can we make a deal?" ”

"No, no, no, no!" He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't make deals with drug dealers!" I'm a legitimate crew member, a legitimate fishing company! ”

I laughed.

To be honest, although I have never been a crew member, I do know what it is...... How many of the crew's are really legitimate?

Especially for those who run abroad, even if they are doing legitimate business, it is also a very common thing to carry some private goods when they usually run the ship, and many people who run the ship smuggle some small goods to make some extra money, which is not a secret.

"I'm not a drug dealer." I looked at him, "My deal is also very simple. I tried to keep my smile calm: "I am very grateful that you saved my life, so in return...... I am willing to give you this money for free...... Well...... Just let me make a private donation to your fishing company. ”

I can see that this Captain Wick, though he looks serious and friendly, is actually very cunning!

He stopped talking, but looked at me quietly and listened to me.

Seeing that he did not interrupt me, and knowing that there might be hope, I immediately continued: "I also have a small request that I hope you will fulfill...... I just hope you don't call the police, and then when your boat docks, you can get me ashore, and that's it. ”

Captain Wick seemed to be considering, his gaze wandering back and forth between me and the money in the corner.

My heart is beating......

Actually, I don't expect him to really not call the police...... If he is a legitimate crew member, then it is quite normal for him to call the police!

What I'm afraid of......

To be honest, I'm scared he'll see a fortune! It's not that I'm mean in my heart, but I've seen too many things in the past few days! To put it mildly, if he is ruthless, he will slaughter me directly on the boat and still go into the sea to feed the fish, and then the money will naturally belong to him! In that case, with my current condition, I don't have the ability to resist at all!

Don't think I'm unfounded! At least the greed that flashed in this guy's eyes just now didn't escape my eyes!

I just hope that he doesn't have any bad intentions, I don't care about the money at all, anyway, it's not my money in the first place, I'll give it to him, as long as I can go ashore alive.

Moreover, if he accepts my money, then I am sure he will not call the police!! Because if I get caught by the police, he won't be able to collect money!

I watched Captain Wick quietly, and finally, I saw a smile in his eyes......
