Chapter 9
On the first day of rafting on the sea, the situation was better than expected.
There are no strange fish, except for the waves blown by the wind, everything is so calm.
Qin Yanjie usually has fewer hair tied to his daughter. After working for a long time, he couldn't satisfy An An. He could only turn to Xie Zhuohua. Du Peiran and Xiang Hong, the two boys, wanted to try it out with itchy hands, and were trying to seek An An's consent.
Wen Zheng sat aside and looked at them, occasionally looking at the sea, guessing where the red sea fish went.
Moreover, although the cruise ship sank into the seabed, some of the items that were not fixed had sufficient buoyancy and could float to the sea surface, except for some newly thrown garbage from survivors, there was no trace of such items at all, and there was not even a foam board.
Wen Zheng asked Qin Yanjie that there was indeed nothing on the sea when he was vigilant at the latest, and the biggest possibility was that there was something under the sea.
There must be problems at the bottom of the sea, but I can’t think of a reasonable guess, so I can only try not to go into the sea.
Gradually, someone gathered together on a lifeboat. Qin Yanjie asked everyone what he meant. Everyone had nothing to look for, and they felt it was unnecessary. Their life raft stayed in place.
Occasionally, someone came over with a life raft, trying to find his companions who were scattered when he jumped into the sea.
All three life rafts left disappointed, and soon another small life raft came over. Qin Yanjie was sitting next to the door curtain, and looked up and saw the familiar face in the other party's life raft. The woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something, so Qin Yanjie immediately pulled the door curtain.
"Brother, why are you pulling the door curtain? I came to find my brother, he looks very similar to me..." The man who looked for his brother shouted depressedly.
"We don't have the person you are looking for here." Qin Yanjie answered frankly, seemingly not caring at all, and his ears are still paying attention to the movement outside. The life raft gradually drifted away, and until the end, she still said nothing.
Qin Yanjie touched An An's hair. He could understand her choice, but he was unable to accept it.
An An didn't know that her mother was outside just now. She was very smart and should have noticed something. She had never mentioned the word "mother" since she got on the raft.
Xie Zhuohua also met her companions who were on the cruise ship with her, and these people were also dispersed. There were only two men and women on the life raft. They were quite happy to see Xie Zhuohua, but they received a perfunctory response from Xie Zhuohua. Finally, the two left angrily.
The six of them got along just right. No one asked An An's mother, no one asked Xie Zhuohua's companions, and no one was curious about what was in the three backpacks that Wen Zheng had been carrying.
As for Du Peiran and Xiang Hong, there is no need to ask about their situation. After getting a little familiar with each other, Du Peiran couldn't help but show both of them.
However, the pleasant days disappeared in just half a day, and it started to rain heavily in the afternoon. Everyone didn't wear much clothes when they jumped into the sea, and most of them were short-sleeved shorts that could not help keep the cold. Almost no one opened the curtains, and everyone hid in the life raft. The double-layer tent played a good role in keeping warm. The rain hit the life raft and made a sound. The rain would gradually slide into the water bag of the life raft, and then discharged into the sea through the rain ditch, which would not wet the life raft.
Listening to the sound of rain, Wen Zheng took out the iron box that originally contained candy biscuits in his backpack.
"Brother Wen, you are a Russian box!" Du Peiran exclaimed when he saw this scene.
Wen Zheng didn't take out an ordinary iron box. In order to save space, he poured out all the things in the box and shredded the iron boxes of different sizes into one box.
Putting these iron boxes aside, Wen Zheng moved the joints of the water-stabilized bag, and the rainwater would flow into the box through the water-stabilized bag.
"I know this, sea water cannot be drunk, but rain water can be drunk." Du Peiran replied again.
"Brother Wen is still thinking carefully." Xiang Hong said and ran to find a container that could contain water.
Wen Zheng was very happy. His companions did not think that fresh water and rain were a waste of time in the life raft. Everyone started to search for it. Only Xie Tingjie and An An did not bring their bags in the whole life raft. The rest of them found useful things from their backpacks.
Everyone continued to be on duty as arranged at night. Shortly after Wen Zheng fell asleep, Du Peiran was on duty shouted: "Wake up! Everyone, wake up!"
Wen Zheng had just woken up and shivered suddenly. He didn't feel anything when he was asleep, but when he woke up, he felt cold. The coolness entered his body from all the exposed skin, and there were a lot of goose bumps on his skin. I don't know how much the temperature outside dropped, and even stayed in the life raft could not stand it.
Fortunately, Du Peiran woke them up, and if you sleep a little longer, you will definitely catch a cold.
"The temperature is a bit too low now. Do you want to remind others?" Du Peiran kept rubbing his hands. This action was a bit stupid but could generate heat. He asked everyone in a low voice.
It’s better to help people who share hardships.
Everyone voted in agreement. Wen Zheng found the whistle whistle, took a breath and blew it violently.
The sound spread around with Wen Zheng as the center, and the loud whistle woke many people up. Some people couldn't help but curse, some people covered their ears and turned over to continue sleeping. However, they were also woken up again. When they woke up, they just wanted to curse a few times, but their whole body trembled.
"Stop sleeping, you will freeze to death if you sleep again."
"Where is the whistle? Wake up all of them."
The sound of whistle flutes kept ringing, spreading around, waking up more and more survivors.
The sound of the whistle became everyone's background music. Qin Yanjie suggested: "I can't sleep for the time being. Please put on your life jacket, which will have some effect." He was wearing a thin shirt and trousers and a coat that blocked the rain for his daughter, and was now covering An An.
Wen Zheng changed his clothes to long-sleeved trousers as soon as he came to this world, and he could still tolerate them now. The situation of the rest of the people was a little bad. They were all wearing short-sleeved and shorts, and they looked young and beautiful, but they were not warm at all.
In the short period of time when they woke up, the temperature was even lower. The temperature dropped too quickly, and everyone knew that something was wrong with this situation. There were enough things that were wrong in the past two days, and I couldn't find the reason. I didn't want to find it anymore, so I just wanted to warm my body.
He quickly put the life jacket outside, and Du Peiran and Xiang Hong could still hold each other to keep warm, so Xie Zhuohua could only hug him with heartache.
Seeing this, Qin Yanjie stuffed An An into Xie Zhuohua's arms, putting his coat on the two of them, and Xie Zhuohua thanked him repeatedly.
Opening the backpack beside him, Wen Zheng took out a few pieces of clothes in it, all of which were not thick, but Du Peiran and the others were very happy: "Thank you, Brother Wen, your clothes are really helpful." There were not many clothes, so they rolled up their bodies and reduced the size as much as possible so that the clothes could wrap all of both of them.
Even Qin Yanjie was so cold that he shrank, but Wen Zheng was the most powerful. He was in the mood to slap the potion box and found cold particles that could prevent colds.
But the water is cold water, and it will get even colder when you drink it. If you don’t work, just eat it just by drying it.
Wen Zheng each sent a bag.
"Suddenly, it's like a dog that froze overnight. Do you want to eat hot pot? If you have hot pot, it's great to drive away the cold." Du Peiran said pitifully. How wonderful it would be to eat steaming hot pot in the cold weather. In the past, I went to eat hot pot, but now I can only rely on fantasy and my saliva is unconsciously secreted.
"By the way, I have a pack of self-heating hot pot in my bag." Xiang Hong suddenly thought.
"Self-heat hot pot!" Du Peiran screamed excitedly.
Everyone looked at each other and acted quickly. Everyone formed a circle and felt the heat from the heating bag, and then they felt that they had come alive. The red hot pot looked so hard that it made people feel salivated. For the first time, they discovered that red was such a beautiful color.
In order not to waste any heat, they placed the iron boxes filled with water around them. During the anxious waiting, everyone was distracted and could not feel cold.
Time passed minute by minute. After the shortest time needed passed, the group of people picked up all kinds of chopsticks. Du Peiran, who was the first to eat, let out a satisfied sigh.
The spicy hot pot is not only steaming, but also has chili peppers that can dispel the cold. After taking a bite, it will heat up from the mouth to the stomach. The small self-heating hot pot was quickly wiped out by them. Even the little girl An'an ate several chopsticks, and her mouth turned red.
Take out the food box on it, and place the iron box filled with water on it with the remaining temperature of the heating bag. No matter how hot the water can be boiled, warm water can satisfy them by entering the mouth.
Add all the cold particles I just found. The cold particles themselves have a little sweetness and everyone drinks them completely.
“It’s so good to eat hot pot…”
"Xiao Hong, why don't you buy a few more boxes? One box is not enough."
"Actually, cold pellets are delicious."
After eating, everyone squeezed together to maintain the calories in their bodies. Wen Zheng took out the chocolate from his backpack and distributed it to everyone. The sweet smell appeared in his mouth and also provided energy for the body.
They spent this difficult night with the calories provided by the food, and everyone was relieved when they found the temperature rose.
That night, some conflicts occurred in a few life rafts. Some people were unwilling to share, but were robbed by others. Some people had long had bad intentions and started directly at this time.
All this was unknown to Wen Zheng’s life raft, but some people might guess.
After the temperature rose to the normal range, everyone except the ones in charge of the alert began to sleep.
However, it didn't take long to wake up again.
