This is a huge ring-shaped reef, one to two feet above the water. The highest point is five or six feet above the sea.
It circled a wide area of water on the sea in the distance. Looking in from the battlefield just now, which is the opening of the atoll, this reef has a circumference of at least hundreds of miles. Later, when I was very interested After carefully inspecting the terrain, I found that the reef is shaped like a right isosceles triangle, and the lagoon enclosed within is only ten to twenty meters deep. It is simply a haven gifted by God.
But now, I only saw groups of crocodile corpses floating in the water. I waded among them numbly, looking down for even a little relic of the painting.
The blood-red color of the entire sea surface is gradually dissipating. The metabolism of ocean currents is fast. If we don't look for it, soon, this place will be the same as yesterday.
Yesterday, Hua Zheng and I experienced the first big lang at sea together. She huddled in my arms tiredly, suffering from seasickness, but there was still a kind of serenity on her face.
Just one day, less than a day, where is she? Why am I still standing here?
She is somewhere in these waters, but there is an insurmountable barrier between us.
Everyone will encounter this kind of pain sooner or later. When our loved ones leave us and go to another world, no one can escape the pain. But why did mine come so early?
Another cheer of victory came from the boat, but I only found the body of one shark. Where had all the many sharks gone? I turned around and looked around, and I only saw a few shark dorsal fins, swimming around Wang's turtle boat.
At the end of the battle, Tian Wang and the others followed up. The killing just now lasted less than half a stick of incense. Tian Wang's face was filled with a smile.
There is also Xiaoyue, half of her face is swollen and her hair is uncombed. She is grabbing handfuls of dried turtle meat and throwing it into the sea. She is screaming happily, feeding the sharks?
The streamlined bodies of several sharks swam back and forth on the sea in front of her, occasionally jumping out of the water to directly catch the delicious food she dropped.
She's crazy too! Everyone is crazy! Or is it just me?
"General Tian, why are you still in a daze? Look at your wife!" It was General Su who was directing people to carry dead crocodiles one by one to the boat.
Xiaoyue threw away all the goods in her hand, raised her arms and jumped at me and shouted, "Brother Tian, come quickly, sister is fine!"
I turned around numbly and ran towards her in a daze, but my feet were getting faster and faster. It was fine. I slapped myself twice in the mouth, it hurt! I slapped another one, it still hurt. This was not a dream!
I jumped into the inner cabin of the turtle ship, and Hua was sitting there, sitting on the bed in our cabin. Many women surrounded her, including Liujiao, Jiang Wanqing, Qi Xue, and the two sisters Xu Lin and Xu Jie. They were chattering and asking questions. Asked, someone else used their hands to lift Hua's clothes to see if there were any injuries. The clothes on her body looked like they had just been fucked. Qi Xue was looking for something drier to put on for her.
I came in at this time
There was a sudden silence in the room. The two Xu sisters whistled, turned around and left.
Hua also saw me. Her hair was still wet but she looked more beautiful. When she saw me, she didn’t speak, she just looked at me with a smile.
Probably just now, several women have told her how I behaved after she disappeared. Of course, being nervous is a matter of pride.
I grabbed her, looked her up and down, inspected, and regardless of the presence of others, I lifted up her clothes and inspected her carefully. Except for the clothes on her body, which were slightly torn at the waist, there were no scratches or slippery skin on her body.
My heart completely calmed down
"Painting, honey, how are you? Are you okay? Ha, it seems that my prayer to Guanyin Bodhisattva really worked! Tell me, what's going on?"
After I inspected the painting, she became embarrassed. She pulled her clothes down and said to me softly, "I'll tell you later in the evening... At this moment, why don't you coax Xiaoyue first?"
, look at you, you are so cruel."
What she was talking about was Xiaoyue's face. I didn't want to go away. Looking at her determined look, it seemed that I had to wait until night to understand my question.
I came outside the cabin and found Xiaoyue. She had actually finished feeding the sharks long ago and was fine, but she had been standing outside and never came in.
I rushed over, picked her up, and hit her with a bang on my face, but she pushed her away angrily, "It's okay now, my sister is fine, I don't have to die -" she said in a long voice.
"What are you talking about? Aren't I anxious? If it were you who disappeared, I would be the same way."
"Really?" She turned around and rushed towards me, with a look of surprise on her face. Looking at the swollen half of her face, I regretted that I could go from angry to this expression in such a short period of time. Only Xiaoyue, I
Knowing that she has more worries and more grievances
"Really, I hit you because you were close to me. Anyone who was around me at that time might be hit."
"Aren't people more anxious than you?" As he said this, sparkling tears welled up in his eyes. He looked so pitiful that I didn't know how to comfort him.
"But you shouldn't let the painting go outside by itself."
"Um"
"Why do you feed sharks?" I asked
"Of course it's so that I don't have to be beaten to death by you. They are my lifesavers." He changed back to his indifferent attitude.
"If I ask you a question, say it well."
"Wait until night" came again, and she jumped into the barn.
I'm in a good mood and feel energetic at work. There's one more thing we haven't done yet.
The two fellow villagers we rescued on the way were leading General Su and several others along the atoll to the reef dam on the other side of the lagoon under the guidance of pigeons. Their shadows were already as tall as a melon seed.
I didn’t want to miss this opportunity. I jumped into a canoe and plunged straight through the middle of the lagoon. They walked in an arc while I walked in a straight line. Soon I met them.
I jumped out of the canoe and let it float in the water. I jumped ashore and joined their search team.
A so-called lagoon is a shallow bay separated from the ocean by a sand bar
Due to differences in the intensity of accumulation and time, some water channels still communicate with the sea, or communicate with each other at high tide. In that case, the lagoon will still be filled with salt water;
Some lagoons are completely isolated from the open sea and gradually turn into freshwater lakes. If the accumulation process continues, the lagoons can be silted up and become swamps or even plains (the famous Taihu Lake and West Lake in China are ancient lagoons that are completely isolated from the sea). Perhaps
, there may be oil in this lagoon.
We rushed forward along the reef, and when we turned around, we saw Tian Wang directing the large and small ships to slowly sail into the lagoon. No matter how strong the wind was, there was no need to be afraid.
It rained here at night, but we still found messy footprints that had been blurred by the rain near the trees on the dam.
Two white pigeons fluttered their wings and landed on the tops of some taller trees nearby. The young couple who were rescued by us immediately ran in front of us and dived into the bushes.
