As an excellent naval officer, Feng Nan's water skills are naturally first-class, but few people know that he only learned to swim when he was fifteen years old, and he started to make many wrong postures and movements.
The military academy was corrected only after the instructor scolded him.
When Feng Nan was fifteen years old, she wanted to sign up for the school's swimming class, but she would have to incur a fee. Feng Nan didn't dare to tell her father. Later, she couldn't help but tell her mother quietly, but her mother didn't dare either.
Taking the decision without permission, I found another opportunity to talk to Feng Zichen.
When Feng Zichen heard that Feng Nan wanted to learn swimming, he didn't express his opinion at the time. He just said "hmm" to express his understanding.
The next day, Feng Zichen suddenly said to his wife: "Go and buy a pair of swimming trunks for Xiao Nan. Swimming is also a skill. There is no harm in learning."
His wife was very happy. She picked up Feng Nan at the school gate that day, took him to buy swimming trunks, and told him that his father had promised him to go to swimming class.
Feng Nan was very happy at first, but she felt something was wrong, because the registration will be closed next Monday, and you have to pay a tutoring fee when registering, and just having swimming trunks is useless. Beginners to swimming must at least have a lifebuoy.
, not to mention swimming goggles, swimming caps and other equipment. Since I agreed, why not let my mother buy all the things at once? Why not pay the registration fee in one go?
However, Feng Nan's mother and son were so happy that they had forgotten that Feng Zichen not only never agreed to Feng Nan's slightly more "extravagant" request, but also gave him a political lesson. This time, he was unprecedentedly generous and tolerant.
It's unreasonable. But all this is not over yet.
At noon on Friday, when Feng Zichen came home from get off work and had lunch, he said to his wife: "Let's go out for a barbecue tomorrow, go to Ziyun Reservoir, and go fishing. You can buy some food when you come back from get off work today."
This was another surprise. Feng Zichen rarely played with his wife and son. For this reason, he borrowed a car from his work the next day, but explained that he paid for the gas. He must distinguish between public and private at all times. This
This is Feng Zichen's principle. His family only cares about being happy, and they understand this very well.
Early the next morning, Feng Zichen drove himself and took his family to Ziyun Reservoir. Feng Nan's mother spread out a picnic mat on the grass and set up a barbecue grill. Feng Zichen said to her: "You stay here to take care of me, and I will take care of my son."
Go fishing, have a barbecue and drink some fresh fish
The soup will go away the fire." Then he asked Feng Nan to take a pump to inflate the rubber boat. It turned out that he had already prepared for it. This was another surprise. The series of surprises made Feng Nan even feel a little bit of fatherly love, even though until now
, Feng Zichen never smiled.
The father and son paddled the kayak towards the center of the reservoir. Feng Zichen said: "Xiao Nan, remember, only deep water can support big fish. But when this reservoir was being built, I happened to be supporting farmers, and my group dug down three or four times."
Then I came across a stone, which came out of the ground. It was only about the size of a watermelon. No one cared about it. They thought it would be dug away with a pickaxe. Who knew that the deeper the digging went, the larger the base became. In the end, there were four or five stones.
meters in diameter, and it was still growing diagonally downwards. I had no choice but to drill holes with a steel drill and blast them with explosives. However, no matter how I exploded, at most, only a layer of skin would fall off. In the end, I found a crack and cracked it.
When the gun went down, I blew up a sandstone lump at the bottom of the rock, but I couldn't blow it up anymore, so I had to give up, so the rock is still under our position."
Feng Zichen was very emotional when he said these words. The young Feng Nan didn't know why. Many years later, he realized that his father was probably thinking of his green years. But at that time, he was just curious, so he asked:
"The stone is under here?"
Feng Zichen actually laughed, then pointed down and said: "Looking down here, if the water is clear, you can still see the hole I made."
Feng Nan stupidly looked down in the direction of Feng Zichen's finger, but without mentioning Feng Zichen, he kicked Feng Nan from behind and directly kicked Feng Nan into the water.
After Feng Nan fell into the water, she instinctively wanted to call for help, but when she opened her mouth, water poured straight into it. The taste of the water was bitter and salty...
"Haha!!!" Feng Nan struggled to get his head out of the water. His trachea and lungs were sore from being choked by the sea water, but he still had to fight the sea water with all his strength, and he could almost squeeze out water by breathing.
Humid and cold air, because only in this way can he survive.
After his breathing became easier, Feng Nan stepped on the water and looked around. The surroundings were no longer pitch black, and the sky was already white with fish belly. It seemed that he had been drifting in a coma for several hours.
When he first jumped off the torpedo-hit freighter, Feng Nan was most worried about being sucked in by the huge whirlpool caused by the sinking of the freighter, so he tried to find the injured bosun as quickly as possible.
Although the boatswain is also an expert swimmer, he has not recovered from the severe pain of his broken arm. Secondly, even if he recovers, he will only have one arm left to paddle. Even if he does not sink, he can only remain intact.
The ground was spinning, so Feng Nan found him immediately, took him to swim as far as possible, and gave him his life jacket.
But the sinking of the freighter that worried them did not happen. The freighter exploded. The explosion was very violent. This situation was worse than the sinking of the freighter. Huge shock waves and water waves caught up with the people who fell into the water one after another.
When the shock wave arrived, Feng Nan and the boatswain were separated, but they could still see each other. They paddled in the water and tried to swim together again, but the waves that followed pushed them further apart, and there were still waves in the waves.
Mixed with debris, Feng Nan's head was hit by something unknown at this moment, causing him to lose consciousness at that time.
After breathing the fresh air on the dawn sea for a few minutes, the pain in Feng Nan's lungs and trachea eased a lot. He continued to observe the surroundings again, hoping to find other survivors and floating objects. He was lucky.
There was a large broken board not far away, so he swam over and climbed onto the board. The board was buoyant enough to allow him to float on the water, which allowed him to float on the water without using his hands and feet, and he could have a good rest.
After a few minutes, he started looking around again.
To survive at sea, if you have the conditions, you must not lose the chance of rescue by coveting these few minutes of enjoyment. Feng Nan knew this very well. Although he drifted for several hours, the ocean currents in this area were very stable and slow, so
He did not float far away, and similarly, the fragments and corpses after the explosion of the freighter did not
No matter how far it had drifted, Feng Nan now climbed up the driftwood, and his field of vision was wider than when he was soaking in the sea. Therefore, he found some more drifting objects, but still no survivors, so Feng Nan used his hands to make paddles.
, while all the floating objects have not been washed away by the ocean currents, row back and forth to salvage these 'wealths'.
Yes, these are wealth. For survivors, any artifact is irreplicable wealth.
Feng Nan stayed busy like this until noon, and even recovered two corpses. The corpses were all wearing Mostaga's navy uniforms, and there were no obvious injuries on their bodies. It must have been that their speedboat was too far away when the freighter exploded.
Recently, these two guys were blown away by the air waves and fell into the sea. They may be
Those who were shocked to death may have been drowned, but it didn't matter. Feng Nan was very grateful to them at the moment, because they brought him wealth. In a way, they saved him, so Feng Nan
It only took a few minutes to leave them with only a pair of underwear, maintaining a minimum of dignity for the deceased.
After noon, no floating objects could be seen on the sea, and everything was scattered. Feng Nan used a rope made from strips of cloth torn from belts and military uniforms, and managed to weave a few scraps of wood into an indestructible rope.
The raft was too strong, which made his rafting environment more comfortable, because the raft
The wood will gradually lose its buoyancy after being soaked in water for a long time. The wood he found at the beginning could only allow him to float on the water. It is still unknown how long he will drift before being rescued this time, so he must still be there.
When conditions permit, try to collect all kinds of floating objects as buoyancy reserves.
After tying up the raft, Feng Nan looked at the sun tilting towards the horizon. It was estimated that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He had sweated a lot that day and his skin was a little sunburned. So he began to count the property he had retrieved.
First, we found the residue from some of the beverage bottles.
The water was all left by water drinkers. Feng Nan collected the water together and found that there was only half a bottle. He calmly drank the half bottle of water as if tasting wine. Finally, it was
After solving his urgent need, he began to consider his backup rafting plan.
This temporarily tied 'raft' might fall apart at any time. Feng Nan filled a pair of military trousers with lidded beverage bottles, tied the waist and legs of the trousers, and thus got a very good lifebuoy. He put it wherever he wanted.
An accessible place was tied tightly with a piece of cloth and rope.
Among all the 'junk wealth' Feng Nan picked up, there was one thing that was very valuable even in real life. It was a handmade violin. Feng Nan remembered this violin and it belonged to a young maritime intern.
, whenever it is not time to watch, this intern will play a few songs on the front deck, which can be regarded as a scene of boring sea life.
Now that the violin was picked up by Feng Nan, the intern's life and death were uncertain, which was quite sad. But after Feng Nan lamented for a while, he used the pocket knife he carried to dismantle the violin, leaving the handle with the piano.
A wooden strip is added on top to make a paddle, and the remaining part is a piano-shaped wooden box.
With the addition of a piece of oilcloth and a 'water cup' cut from a beverage bottle, it becomes a desalinator that relies on sunlight. Although such a desalinator may not be able to desalinate enough water in a day to satisfy an adult man.
A day's consumption, but it is better than nothing, after all, it can last Feng Nan longer.
As for the strings and tuning knobs, Feng Nan also made use of them. He used these things to make three fishing tools. Since there was no bait, he chose three red-painted wood chips instead. He just hoped that the ferocious and stupid sea fish would be attracted by these bright colors.
The color attracts those who are willing to take the bait.
After doing all this, Feng Nan was exhausted. He tied his wrist to the lifebuoy with a piece of cloth, and tied himself to the raft with another piece of cloth. Then he lay on his back on the raft and let out a sigh of relief.
, and began to adjust his breathing. He wanted to sleep as well as possible on the first night of rafting, so as to accumulate strength for survival the next day.
