In the middle of the raft were placed some wild fruits, barbecued ripe rabbits, wild birds, and some fresh water wrapped in leaves.
Gu Jialan stood on the beach, looking at the island quietly, with a trace of reluctance on her face.
"What's wrong?" Lin San asked.
Gu Jialan shook his head slightly: "I'm really reluctant to leave here."
Lin San smiled and thought: Women are sentimental animals. Since you are reluctant to leave this island, just stay here! Of course, Lin San is just thinking about these words in his heart, and would not dare to say them even to death.
Exported.
"Let's go." Gu Jialan took a deep breath, turned around and boarded the raft.
Lin San did not hesitate and followed him onto the raft.
With the extra weight of two people on the raft, it slowly sank, and the sea water was almost at the same level as the raft.
"Miss Gu, please sit down." Lin San greeted Gu Jialan, picked up a thick branch and started rowing the raft. There was no oar, so he had to find a thick branch instead.
Gu Jialan sat at one end of the raft, looking quietly at the island that was getting farther and farther away, with a somewhat disappointed expression. The woman was indeed sentimental. Living on the island for more than ten days made Gu Jialan have a deep affection for the island.
some feelings.
The wind was blowing from the east today, so Lin San had no trouble paddling the raft. With the help of the wind, the raft moved forward quickly, and after a while, the small island behind him was far away.
Gu Jialan sat for a while, then stepped forward to help Lin San row the raft together.
With one more person to help row, the raft can't help but speed up a lot.
It was getting dark.
"Hey..." Lin San breathed out: "Miss Gu, let's take a break and have something to eat."
Gu Jialan was also a little tired and nodded: "Okay."
Lin San handed Gu Jialan half a roasted rabbit, and he picked up some wild fruits and ate them.
While eating rabbit meat, Gu Jialan looked at the endless sea water around him: "How long do we have to row to reach land?"
"I can't tell, it will probably take a while," Lin San said.
Gu Jialan looked up at the darkening sky: "It's getting dark..."
Spending the night in the sea was really a torture. Lin San and Gu Jialan sat on the raft and watched the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a wave would come over and overturn the raft.
Lin San and Gu Jialan spent the night in fear.
Fortunately, the night was calm and no danger occurred.
At dawn, Lin San and Gu Jialan ate some food and continued paddling the raft.
As soon as it got dark, Lin San and Gu Jialan stopped rowing the raft, sat together, and waited quietly for dawn. It wasn't that Lin San didn't want to paddle the raft, but that he was afraid of losing his way at night. Once he lost his way on the sea, what would happen to him?
You are not far from death.
The cycle repeated itself, and Lin San and Gu Jialan stayed at sea for five days.
In the past five days, Lin San and Gu Jialan had suffered a lot. During the day, the sun was so hot that they were dizzy. At night, the temperature of the sea surface was so low that they could only sneeze. After five days,
The two of them looked extremely embarrassed.
There is another thing that makes Lin San and Gu Jialan particularly worried, that is, there is not much food and fresh water left.
"We have been floating on the sea for five days, and we still haven't seen the shadow of land, not even a ship. Are we sailing in the wrong direction?" Gu Jialan looked at the sea and said softly.
"Probably not." Lin San licked his dry lips: "Maybe we can see land if we persist for a few more days."
Gu Jialan smiled bitterly: "How long can our food last?"
Lin San was silent, looking at the little food left, Lin San sighed: "Let's do this, let's eat two meals a day..."
Gu Jialan shook his head slightly and said nothing. These days, Gu Jialan felt that he was living a life of ice and fire. He was exposed to the sun during the day and cold at night, which made Gu Jialan extremely exhausted physically and mentally.
"Miss Gu, we will definitely be saved..." Seeing Gu Jialan's poor expression, Lin San comforted her.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Jialan smiled at Lin San: "Let's continue paddling the raft."
Lin San nodded, picked up the branches, and continued paddling the raft with Gu Jialan.
Three days flew by.
The food was finally finished, and all the fresh water was drunk long ago.
Lin San and Gu Jialan sat quietly on the raft, looking very lonely.
After rowing for so many days, they still didn't see any land, not even a small island. There was no food and fresh water, which meant that their lives were beginning to be in danger.
"Lin San..." Gu Jialan suddenly shouted softly.
"Huh?" Lin San turned his head and looked at Gu Jialan with confusion. At this time, Gu Jialan's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were dull. Lin San felt distressed for a while, and secretly blamed himself for not having the ability to let Gu Jialan.
Lan followed herself and suffered such a big crime.
Gu Jialan looked at Lin San quietly: "I have something to say to you. I have been hiding this sentence in my heart for a long time..."
"What words?" Lin San asked.
Gu Jialan licked her chapped lips, hesitated, and said, "Lin San, actually I...I...like..."
"Rumble..." A roar of motor came from the side.
Lin San was stunned for a moment, turned around quickly and was overjoyed: "There is a boat..."
Gu Jialan looked back and saw an old fishing boat slowly heading towards them. Gu Jialan's expression immediately became extremely excited: "We are saved... We are saved...
...." By the end, Gu Jialan was crying. She originally thought she was going to die in the sea, but she never thought a fishing boat would appear. This change really made Gu Jialan very excited.
"Hey! Here! Hey!!!" Lin San stood on the raft, opened his hands, and kept shaking towards the fishing boat.
At this time, the people on the fishing boat had also discovered Lin San and Gu Jialan. They increased their power and drove towards Lin San and Gu Jialan.
"The fishing boat is coming, the fishing boat is coming." Gu Jialan grabbed Lin San's hand and shouted excitedly.
"Yes, the fishing boat is coming, we don't have to die." Lin San already thought that he and Gu Jialan were going to die in the sea. Just when Lin San was feeling a little desperate, he suddenly saw a fishing boat. You can imagine how excited he was.
And know it.
The fishing boat finally arrived at the raft. A bald man in his 40s stood on the deck and looked at Lin San and Gu Jialan in surprise: "Why are you in the sea?"
"Brother, we are in danger, can you help us?" Lin San said very politely.
The bald man glanced at Lin San and Gu Jialan and nodded: "Come on to my boat." After saying that, the bald man lowered a ladder from the fishing boat.
"Ah, thank you, brother, thank you!" Lin San thanked him a few times, then pulled Gu Jialan and climbed up the ladder onto the fishing boat.
"Looking at your appearance, you must have not drank water for several days." When the bald man saw Lin San and Gu Jialan's pale faces and chapped lips, he knew that they must have not drank water for a long time.
"Yes, yes, brother, you are right, we haven't had any water for two days." Lin San kept nodding.
"Let's go, I'll take you to drink water." The bald man waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Lin San and Gu Jialan hurriedly followed.
The cabin is not large and is fairly tidy. There is a locker at the end of the cabin, which is filled with food and water.
The bald man took two bottles of mineral water and two pieces of bread and handed them to Lin San and Gu Jialan.
Lin San and Gu Jialan hurriedly thanked them, walked aside, and ate and drank the bread and water in just a few mouthfuls. However, they had been starving in the past two days.
"Brother, where are you going with this boat?" Lin San finished eating the bread and walked over.
The bald man weighed out a cigarette and handed it to Lin San. Lin San declined, and the bald man lit it himself, put it in his mouth and took a puff: "Let's go fishing, now is the peak fishing season."
"Fishing?" Lin San frowned: "In other words, you won't return to land for the time being?"
"Yes, I've only been out to sea for two days, and I won't go back so soon." The bald man exhaled a puff of smoke.
Lin San turned to look at Gu Jialan, his face a little ugly. He finally encountered a boat. He never thought that this fishing boat was going to sea to fish and would not return to the land at all. Could it be that he and Gu Jialan were still in the sea?
Can't wait for a while? Lin San was really fed up with the sea and wished he could spread his wings and return to land as soon as possible.
Gu Jialan came over and said to the bald man: "What do you call this big brother?"
The bald man glanced at Gu Jialan and said calmly: "Gao Meng."
"Oh, Brother Gao, can I discuss something with you?" Gu Jialan said politely.
"What's the matter?" The bald man looked at Gu Jialan suspiciously.
"That's right, can you send us back to land now..." Gu Jialan said in a negotiating tone.
Before Gu Jialan could finish speaking, Gao Meng shook his head repeatedly: "It's impossible. I came out here to fish. If I don't catch a certain amount of fish, I won't return to the land." Gao Meng is the real deal.
He was born as a fisherman and relied on fishing for a living. Now is the best time for fishing. How could Gao Meng give up fishing and send two strangers back to land? You know, this coming and going,
It delayed a lot of things.
Gu Jialan smiled: "Brother, I won't let you send us back to land for nothing."
Gao Meng frowned: "What do you mean?"
"As long as you send us back to the mainland now, I will give you 100,000 yuan as a reward." Gu Jialan is indeed a eldest lady. Once she makes a move, it will be 100,000 yuan.
Lin San grinned secretly on one side and thought to himself: Rich people are rich people, and they have courage in doing things.
Gao Meng narrowed his eyes: "100,000 yuan? Are you kidding me?"
"I can do whatever I say." Gu Jialan's expression was serious.
Gao Meng slowly smoked his cigarette and did not reply immediately. He seemed to be thinking about it.
Seeing that Gao Meng didn't refuse immediately, Gu Jialan knew there was a way: "Brother, even if you catch a boatload of fish, you can't sell it for 100,000 yuan. Now you can get 100,000 yuan just by sending us back to land."
, this is a very good deal, what else do you have to hesitate about?"
Gao Meng looked at Gu Jialan: "How can I believe that you really gave me 100,000 yuan?"
"Brother, my family is in good condition. 100,000 yuan is really not very important to me. I want to return to the mainland right now. In this way, if you are still worried, I can give you a letter." Gu Jialan
said.
Gao Meng pondered for a moment and stretched out two fingers: "I want 200,000."
"Okay! No problem! As long as you send us safely to land, I will give you 200,000 immediately." Gu Jialan agreed directly without thinking. For Gu Jialan, there is not much difference between 100,000 and 200,000.
Gao Meng nodded, found a piece of paper and a pen from the cabin, and asked Gu Jialan to write a note. It seemed that Gao Meng was still a little worried.
Gu Jialan happily signed the receipt. Originally, Gu Jialan had no intention of defaulting on the bill. In order to increase the credibility of the receipt, Gu Jialan also asked Lin San to sign his name and fingerprint on the receipt.
Gao Meng picked up the receipt, read it carefully twice, nodded with satisfaction, folded the receipt and put it in his pocket. The reason why Gao Meng agreed to send Lin San and Gu Jialan back to the mainland was entirely because of the 200,000 yuan.
In terms of face, Gao Meng is not a fool. Even if he stays at sea for half a month and catches a boat full of fish, he still cannot sell it for 200,000 yuan.
