I opened my eyes and sat up. There was a gray cloud in front of me, and the rolling dark clouds seemed to be touching my toes, and my whole body was swaying.
My stomach was in pain, and I retched out a mouthful of yellow acidic water. When the high-strength gastric acid spurted out of my mouth, it softened my teeth.
I spit out all the remaining sour and bitter juice in my mouth along with my saliva. My stomach no longer tortured me for the time being, and my mind also felt a little clearer, and I no longer felt so uncomfortable.
The raindrops as big as broad beans were dyed dark green in the dark clouds and mist. They hit my face one by one. I wonder if there were tiny ice cannons in the rain. I just felt that my face was sore.
.
I don’t know where the goggles were thrown away, but the diving suit that clung to my body made my skin unbearably hot. The sweat that was trapped on the surface of my body had no space to escape, and in turn seemed to get into my body.
It's like that in my body, which makes my skin become white and wrinkled.
The world seems to be mixed together. The hard part under my buttocks is made up of pieces of old ship planks. After countless years of hard work, it has become mottled, but it is still strong on the smoky water.
Sailing up.
Isn't this already on the road to hell?
I looked around, letting the wind and rain hit me unchecked.
When I was a child, I heard my grandma say that when God comes to collect people, he always carries them away by boat.
The boat was still swaying quietly on the water, but I was the only one on the deck. Could it be that I was the only passenger on this hellish trip?
On the Huangquan Road, I am also so lonely.
At this moment, I am not so scared. In the final analysis, what people are afraid of is not death, but death. So now, I feel a sense of relief.
I tried to stand up, but my whole body was in a state of weakness and slight pain. In addition, there were small waves on the water one after another, so I basically couldn't stand upright.
.
"Haqiu!"
Suddenly a strong wind came, which made my sweaty body feel cold and I couldn't help but sneeze.
Hey, this body knows how to feel cold and hot, it seems that I am not dead yet.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cover my chest with my hands.
"Plop, puff, puff..."
Sure enough, he is still alive.
For the first time, I felt that the rhythm of my heartbeat sounded so good, I almost cried with joy.
Who saved me?
When I was at the bottom of the lake, I was clearly dragged by my ankles by some unknown object, and I was already choking on the water. The possibility of survival was basically non-existent. Therefore, someone must have pulled me out of the water, which was already on the verge of death.
But why did the person who saved me throw me on this deck again, still being whipped by the wind and rain, instead of saving me to the end?
Could it be Chen Mo, or maybe his brother?
"Chen Mo, Chen Mo," my shout was drowned in the violent storm the moment it came out, and my voice seemed particularly weak.
Suddenly, a shadow seemed to flash under the canvas, "Brother," I blurted out, even myself was frightened.
It turned out that even though we were strangers to each other, the blood connection had already made me recognize him from the deepest part of my heart the moment I knew he existed.
The black shadow suddenly disappeared again, as if it had gotten into the cabin. I don't know if my shouting scared him, but what I am sure of is that it was also a person, a living person.
He should be the one who rescued me from the bottom of the lake, but why is he avoiding me?
I got on my hands and knees and crawled toward the cabin entrance, knee by knee.
The weather was extremely bad. I felt that it should still be daytime, but the dark clouds in the sky blocked all the light of the day, so the visibility was very low. I could probably tell that this was an old-fashioned Chinese wooden sailboat with a white canvas on the deck.
It was already dilapidated and in such a violent storm, it felt like it might not be able to hold up at any time.
Suddenly, a low flute sound seemed to come from a very far away place.
I paused in my heart and subconsciously turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind me.
Who is this wicked person who plays the flute in such a stormy weather and only hears the sound but not sees the person? Isn't it just causing trouble for people in my situation?
At this time, the wind and rain suddenly became stronger. A wave came from a distance and almost capsized the old sailboat.
Fortunately, the ship probably did not carry any heavy cargo, so the draft was not deep, and the canvas was also worn out. Therefore, it only shook violently from left to right and up and down a few times before returning to its original state and welcoming the second ship in the distance.
wave.
However, I had already been swept to the edge of the deck. If I hadn't grabbed the rope that raised the sail, I would have been in the water by now.
Seeing that the second wave was approaching, I ignored the pain in my body and sprinted almost at a speed of 100 meters to the entrance of the cabin in an instant.
However, the hatch of the ship was blocked from below by someone unknown.
I beat him randomly, but with little effect.
The dull sound of the flute was still vaguely ringing in my ears, and the second wave was almost landing on the boat.
This time, I was not as lucky as before. In desperation, I tied the ropes on the edge of the canvas around my body indiscriminately, almost tying myself to the mast.
No matter how hard it is, the boat will capsize and people will die anyway.
With a "boom", the second wave crossed the deck. I closed my eyes and let the cold lake water rush past my face.
When I opened my eyes again, the deck was filled with white foam and a strong fishy sweet smell.
When I touched it with my hand, it was filled with red viscous liquid, which was blood.
It turns out that the speed of the water flow was too high just now, and I was facing the wave. The speed of the water flow was so fast that my nose was injured by the water flow. Even the diving suit on my body was damaged by the water waves.
It was broken, and the skin and flesh were turned out from the inside.
Seeing that the third wave had already formed in the distance, I felt that it was definitely not an option to continue like this. If I allowed myself to be hit by such a big wave no less than ten times, I would definitely be left with only a pair of bones, and all my flesh and blood would be taken away by the lake water.
of.
What should I do? After a narrow escape at the bottom of the lake, my physical strength has basically reached its limit. Now I have no strength to pry open the door of the cabin entrance.
To be honest, when I saw that the third wave was getting closer and closer, I was already panicking. I felt that I had experienced countless winds and rains in the past few days and had come through it without any danger. I didn't expect that today's wave
Xiao Ming, I really have to explain it here.
Suddenly, I had an idea and shouted toward the cabin door on the deck: "The black jade is here with me. Only I know the secret of the black jade."
I made a last ditch effort with fate. I bet there was someone in the cabin, and this person was the same as us, and he came here for the truth behind this so-called black jade.
However, more than ten seconds passed and the deck was still motionless. I was immediately discouraged.
The waves in the distance had already reached the side of the ship. This time, they did not touch the sailboat, but raised the entire ship. I felt that I was almost standing on the cusp of the storm.
Suddenly, the rope tied to my body cracked and split into several pieces. I lost the force of the rope and was suddenly thrown to the ground by the inertia, and was about to slide down along the sloping direction of the deck.
At this time, a small opening suddenly opened in the deck at the entrance to the cabin, and a hand that had always been covered with hair stretched out, grabbed my ankle, and dragged me into the cabin.
The wind and waves were still torturing the broken ship. After my body completely entered the cabin, the hairy hand on my ankle was released.
I didn't know what was going on. I almost didn't have time to open my eyes. My whole body was empty and I was in free fall from the spiral staircase connecting the cabin to the deck.
Immediately afterwards, a heartbreaking pain radiated from my spine, almost extending to the end of my hair. I felt as if my body had been broken into several sections, and I didn't dare to move.
"Young man, are you okay?"
A hoarse voice came from my right side. I struggled to turn my head slightly and found a foreigner lying next to me.
