The steamed bun was so frightened that he immediately cheered up and asked, "What...what is the sound? Oh my god, what is that thing?"
He stretched his hand to the opposite side, and I saw a huge black creature suddenly emerging from the black sea water next to Changshan. The color was darker than the sea water, and it was looking at us with its eyes open.
Chang Shan turned around suddenly and was startled. He almost fell off the raft. The raft was close to the sea, so the huge black creature was right in front of him. As long as he stretched out his hand, he would definitely touch it.
"Don't be afraid, this is a gray whale, it's okay." I could already see that this huge black creature was actually just the head of a gray whale.
Steamed Bun stuttered, "Let me go, it...what does it want to do? Could it be that it wants to knock over the raft?"
"No, whales rarely attack humans. It seems that it is just a little curious about us." I said, staring at the giant creature.
Not long after I finished speaking, the big guy dived into the sea, and everything returned to its original state.
"It turns out to be a gray whale. It scared me. You, Steamed Bun, were so startled that you made me nervous." Chang Shan said, patting his chest with his hand.
"I'm scared, really scared. Look around here. There's nothing but black water. I really don't know when it will end."
Steamed Bun's voice sounded like he was crying, and he was grabbing his hair with his hands, which made people feel worried.
I walked up to him and sat down, hugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, just get over it. If you're tired, just go and take a nap. I'll watch over it. Go ahead."
Mantou finally went to bed, and everyone else slept peacefully. Everyone was tired. The torture during this period of time made everyone exhausted physically and mentally. Otherwise, who would sleep so peacefully in such an environment?
Even I don't know when we will be rescued. I hope God will be kind to us and let us escape from danger as soon as possible.
Chang Shan and I were paddling at the same time, and I suddenly asked, "Brother Chang Shan, I've been... wanting to ask you something. I don't know if it's okay."
"If there's anything you can't do, just ask whatever you want." Chang Shan said with a smile.
I also smiled and said, "What on earth do you do? Don't tell me that you are a sailor. A sailor is definitely not as good as you."
Chang Shan asked me again, "What about you Zhongyi? Are you a sailor?"
"Of course I am, but before that, I was just a soldier, nothing more." I didn't hide it, and everyone else knew it.
Changshan took a deep breath and said, "I am also a sailor, at least now."
"What about your past?" I asked him.
"Before? I used to do a lot of jobs, too many that I can't even remember." He was avoiding the question, and it seemed that he had something to hide.
"Have you ever been a tomb robber?" I asked him again.
He looked at me and said, "Do you look like me? Haha, I am definitely not a tomb robber, but I have come into contact with tomb robbers, but those people are not as powerful as Jiao Ba. He is the most skilled tomb robber I have ever seen."
I knew he was not a tomb robber, but it was strange that he could understand so many things. What did he do? But what he just said was almost as if he had never said it at all.
"Can't you tell me about your past?" My voice was very soft, for fear of waking up others.
"Oh, didn't I just say that I am just an ordinary person, and you are overthinking loyalty."
Chang Shan answered so easily, but I could tell that he was trying his best to hide himself. Since he didn't want to answer me, it would be in vain for me to ask, but I knew very well that if he could go to sea with me this time, there would be no chance of him going to sea with me. Unless it is a coincidence, there is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
We are like ghosts on the sea, floating in the vast dark sea. We can't see anything around us, there is no light. The dark sea water, like the devil, may swallow us at any time.
The small raft was still swaying, and seawater could seep directly from the raft, soaking our bodies, as if reminding us at any time that the danger had never left us.
We wandered on the sea for three days and nights without encountering any ship or land.
We seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. We couldn't see anything except the sea, not even a small island. Whenever night fell, it would make people feel a sense of despair.
Including me, I feel very depressed. Since there are many of us, we can comfort each other. If I were to wander alone on the sea, I think that person would go crazy in less than two days.
These days, we are eating raw fish, which is our only source of food.
We took turns going into the sea to catch fish, carrying a diving knife and tying a rope to our body and the other side to the raft to prevent the raft from drifting away when we went to catch fish. This would make it safer and we could not go out again. Nothing went wrong.
On the third day of our wandering, we had already drank up all the fruit, but luckily it rained a little during the day, so we filled the shells of the fruit with rainwater, which could last us a few more days. Otherwise there will be no water to drink and everyone will die of thirst.
Everyone looks very haggard these days. Although there is no need to expend too much physical energy, what is tired is the heart. The days of wandering on the sea are really torturous. It feels even more torturous than on the island.
By the fourth night, everyone's spirits were a bit unbearable. The arrival of darkness made our inner torment even more serious. Looking at the endless black sea water, the fear in our hearts would instantly sublimate. The sea would not stop. No longer charming, but as scary as a ghost.
We have been drifting aimlessly on the sea for almost a hundred hours. This is no longer a kind of torture. It is like a murderer waiting for the verdict. No one knows whether it will be the death penalty or whether he can survive. have no idea.
Jenny was leaning on the edge of the raft. Her eyes were dull, her face was haggard, and she looked depressed. "How long have we been wandering on this sea?" she asked feebly.
"I don't know, it must have been a few days." Li Xin replied softly. Her face turned pale and she looked very tired. She lay listlessly on the raft and looked at the dark night sky.
"It's the fourth day. We have been drifting on the sea for four full days. I really don't know when we will end." Chang Shan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"It's already the fourth day, haha, it goes by so fast." Jenny said to herself, her eyes a little dull, these people were almost driven crazy.
"Brother Yi, you said... can we be rescued?" Shunzi looked at me, eyes full of expectation.
I patted his shoulder, forced a smile and said, "Yes, we will be fine, don't worry."
"But...it's been four days, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the ship. I feel like there is no hope." Shunzi's desperate eyes made me feel very uncomfortable.
