I just thought about these things over and over again, and fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, and the sudden exposure to the sun made it difficult for me to open my eyes.
After a while, I got used to the bright light. I subconsciously looked to the side and found that Wang Yi was missing.
The coat I put on her last night also came back to me.
The firewood pile beside him has been extinguished, with only a few scattered sparks left.
I could hear the sound of waves and the chirping of birds on the island, everything was so desolate.
Hunger, thirst, fatigue, and pain made it impossible for me to stay awake.
I don't know where Wang Yi went. Looking at the footprints left on the beach, it seems to lead to the sea.
Is it possible that she really couldn't think of committing suicide?
Or did someone come to pick her up?
Just as I was thinking this, Wang Yi's voice suddenly came from my left: "Are you awake?"
I turned around and saw her walking towards me with her bare feet, shoes in one hand and a box in the other.
"Why did you go?"
"I was so hungry when I woke up in the morning, so I went to find something to eat."
She said as she handed me the contents of the box: "That's it, just fill your stomach first."
I took the box and took a look. There was a sea cucumber, two sea urchins, and several shrimps inside.
"Where did you get it?" I looked at her in surprise and said.
"I'm looking for it on the beach. The tide will be low in the morning."
"Where did this box come from?"
I looked at the box. It was a box for biscuits, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. It had been eroded by the sea water and had lost its color.
"I also picked it up on the shore. It probably washed over me when the tide came in. You should eat it quickly. Aren't you hungry?"
"This...how do you eat this? Eat it raw?"
"Anyway, I'm eating it raw. I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore."
I'm not that hungry. Although most things in the sea can be eaten raw, as someone who doesn't live by the sea, I really can't get used to it.
I just used this tin box and placed it on the fire. Then I went to get some firewood and rekindled the fire.
"There's no water in this, how about dry frying?" Wang Yi asked me after seeing this.
"Then what should we do? Cooked food is better than raw food."
Wang Yi didn't say anything else. She glanced at the vast sea and said: "From the time I woke up in the morning to now, I haven't found any ships passing by. Isn't it very far from here?"
I was also thinking about this question, and I was silent for a while before replying: "It shouldn't be far away, maybe not on the route. The time from when the ship started setting off yesterday to when we were thrown into the sea was only four hours at most... The speed of the ship was about
At 13 to 16 knots, which is about 25 kilometers per hour, it is estimated to be about 50 nautical miles."
Wang Yi was stunned for a while, then looked at me for a while and then said: "Why do you know so well?"
"It's not difficult. You can figure it out once you calculate it. I believe the police want it too... Don't worry, we will be rescued soon."
Wang Yi, however, still looked worried and said, "What if they can't find us?"
"impossible."
"I mean just in case."
"There is no such thing as a contingency."
But Wang Yi persisted: "What if? What if we really can't be found."
"First of all, I still say what I said, there is no such assumption, because this place is not far from the coastline and it is still in the country, so we will definitely be found, it is only a matter of time."
After a pause, I added: "Even if we really can't be found, we can still find a way to go back by ourselves."
Wang Yi looked at the vast sea and said with an exaggerated expression: "How to go back? Swim back?"
I looked into the depths of the island behind me and said with a smile: "Have you seen "Desert Island Survival"? The protagonist in it made a simple raft and was rescued by a passing cargo ship."
"Are you kidding me? Can you make a raft? Brother, this is the sea!"
"When people are in a hurry, they can do anything, just like you can eat these seafood raw."
Wang Yi shrugged, smiled desperately, and said, "You never thought that we would live on this island for the rest of our lives?"
"You must have read too many desert island novels!"
"If you think about it, it's not impossible."
"That's not possible. Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Just wait and see!"
Wang Yi didn't continue to talk about this issue anymore. She sat down and suddenly said: "Why did you cover me with your coat last night?"
"Look at you huddled up in the cold."
"Then you're not cold?"
"It's cold, but I'm in good health."
"You stupid!"
I smiled and didn't reply.
She looked at me eating the fried seafood and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"At this time, I don't care whether it tastes good or not, as long as I can eat it."
Wang Yi took a long breath and said with emotion: "This experience really taught me a painful lesson. Really, as long as you can live healthy, happy and joyfully, it is better than anything else."
I just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, I was thinking about this question last night. I have always wanted to make a lot of money, become a great entrepreneur, benefit the people, and leave my name on the family tree.
But until this moment, I realized that only living, being happy and healthy are the most important things.
After being silent for a while, I asked Wang Yi: "So what are your plans after going back this time?"
Wang Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I plan? My life has been ruined. If I go back, I will be taken to court and spend the rest of my life in prison."
"Sued by whom?"
"Do you think the person behind me will let me go?"
"You have betrayed him. He may not let you go."
"So I said, my life has been ruined."
"No wonder you just said you would live on this island for the rest of your life. I understand now."
Wang Yi smiled bitterly again and said: "That's just a joke. If I live here for the rest of my life, I might as well go back and accept all sanctions."
After saying that, she paused again, then looked at me and said, "Forget it, don't talk about me, let's talk about you! What are your plans after going back this time?"
"You want to ask me if I will deal with the person behind you?"
"Well, even though I know you are not convinced and he has indeed caused you great harm, I still advise you not to go against him. You are really no match for him."
"Then shall I let him bully me?"
Wang Yi was silent.
I added: "I wanted to make money so much before that I didn't want to give up any opportunity. Whether it was the previous acquisition in Italy or the acquisition of Tongda Logistics, including this warehouse... these are all things I want to make more money.
The choice is made only by money, but people have tampered with it."
As I said that, I laughed at myself and continued: "So! After this lesson, I also realized that making so much money is really useless. How much can I eat as long as I can?"
Wang Yi sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know why that person targeted you. I asked him, but he didn't tell me."
"Didn't you say that you met him once? Can you describe his appearance to me? If I really know him, then I should have an impression."
Wang Yi frowned slightly, as if reminiscing, and after a while he said to me: "Looking, just one word, handsome. And very handsome, he is a foreigner, but he doesn't look like a foreigner..."
When Wang Yi said this, I was stunned for a moment!
