Chapter 2 Stranded Wooden Box

Hearing this sound made me tremble all over. I climbed the tree in front of me in a few steps like a monkey, but everything around me seemed to be in a dead silence again. The crackling sound did not sound again, but I was still very nervous and didn't even dare to move down from the tree.

But my body's demand for water still made me return to the ground after more than an hour. I, who was already extremely thirsty, could still experience such a few hours of poverty. Thankfully, just a few dozen meters away from the big tree, there was actually some fresh water, or water accumulation, but it made me overjoyed.

I dragged my round belly and climbed to the second branch of the big tree. It was not too high from the ground, about three meters, but it was relatively safe. As long as it was either Africa, it was safe, I don’t think I would be washed so far. After all, the East China Sea is still separated from Africa by the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Malacca.

I tore open the box of cigarettes that I had been tortured with in my arms, rubbed some tobacco on my hands, then closed my eyes and swallowed them as hunger. I also broke a thicker branch on the "next door" tree branch to protect myself (I felt like I was lying to myself after dawn). I was too tired, and even fell asleep, anyone who fell into my situation, I believe that I would sleep like a dead person like me.

I didn't know how long I slept at this sleep. It was not until the dazzling sunlight shone on my face through the leaves that I realized that it was dawn, and it seemed that the sun was at noon.

The sea breeze yesterday seemed to stop. The weather was very good. The waves not far away were lazily slapped on the golden beach, raising their eyes to the distance. If it weren't for this incident, it would be a pleasant tourist place to bring a girl here. Looking at the strange skin on my arm yesterday, it seemed to have been relieved a lot. In the end, it was no longer as scary as I could see the blood vessels clearly, which made me feel a lot more relieved.

I listened carefully around me with my ears. There was no other complicated sound except for the singing of seabirds and the sound of the wind blowing leaves. The most important thing was that the crackling sound did not appear. Although I didn't know what it was or where it was made, the sound was too similar to the sound before the shipwreck. I was sure that in my life, I would never want to hear it again. The one on the sea was enough.

I was anxious, on the other side of the reef on the far side of the beach I saw yesterday, I vaguely discovered a wooden box that looked half a container the size of. It was too far away and I could only see it. Even the color was not very clear, but I felt it was quite big. What surprised me the most was that it drifted between the reefs, shaking back and forth, immediately aroused the desire in my heart, just like a big girl sitting in a glass room, waving to me in an exposed dress.

I hurriedly rolled down from the trees and looked around. There was no danger. I walked along the beach towards the box monster, but found that the reef area where the big box was located was actually separated from the beach, which was almost a mile away from where I am now.

For me, this distance is equivalent to the distance between heaven and hell. After looking at the big guy and then the hideous blue-brown reefs, I had to sit helplessly on the beach, sit quietly for a while, waiting for the tide to fade. As long as the tide fades, walk down the reef and move for more than a hundred steps, I can definitely see what I want. Maybe I am lucky, the box is filled with cumin chili mutton skewers and iced beer... Well, I know this is a fantasy. What you can eat, drink, and anything is fine, which is much better than tobacco leaves and mud pits.

Suddenly, I couldn't help feeling sad again. Think about it, if I could do my best yesterday and take a closer look at the quality of the Zheng He paper-paste ship that killed thousands of swords before boarding the ship, I wouldn't have caused such a tragedy. I don't know if the dozens of crew members could find such a place to live like me, or have sacrificed themselves to the Sea Dragon King, or would the same people be washed to my beach?

I didn't dare to shout loudly. After all, the technique of wild beasts finding sound sources is incomparable to us humans, so I had to look around in disappointment several times. The figure was not seen. Some of them were just a hermit crab carrying a small house moved a few steps at my feet. In the middle, I stopped and looked at me like teasing me for a while before crawling quickly behind me again.

Just like this, the aimless and stunned kung fu, the tide has receded a lot, so I decided to take a look at the box monster first. If it is food, it will allow me to go through these days. In the Chinese territorial waters, even in the high seas, there will be no isolated islands. The evil capitalists have developed marine tourism very well, especially these islands in the East China Sea. If there are no more than three or five days, there will be a cruise ship with a group of exposed girls running up to dance awkwardly~

I took off my life jacket and pants and jumped into the water because I didn't want to wet my clothes again. It felt uncomfortable to feel wet (until later, I realized that everything else was really optional except for clothes). However, when I swam near the box monster and then moved to it with deep and shallow feet, I had a strong urge to curse.

The box was too big. I looked just an ordinary big box more than one meter square in the distance, but in fact, it was definitely half the size of a container.

After observing the rocks that stuck it for several times, I began to suspect that the box in front of me was a cabin of the Zheng He ship yesterday. Or it was either suspicious, it was obviously certain, because the materials of the rough wood were so similar.

Was the loud noise last night made by this guy? But it was wrong to think about it. The sound came from the depths of the island, not the direction of the reef.

Current shipbuilding technology has separated the cabins from each other. This is done to prevent the sudden accident of water in a certain cabin. If a cabin suddenly enters water, it can be sealed and isolated immediately with steel plates to prevent the water from spreading to other cabins or even the entire bottom of the ship, causing serious accidents. This will make the cabin float here alone after the shipwreck collapses.

It’s just that yesterday’s paper-like appearance is just a fool, and the isolation technology is simply a decoration, which leads to the current tragedy of the engine’s water inflow.

The wood and color of this big guy are exactly the same as those used by Zheng He, but the difference is that all the wooden boards seem to have been soaked for a long time, and the surface even has serious sea immersion. Some of the surfaces are even a thick layer of seaweed. This makes me start to think about whether I have not just fainted in the sea for one night, maybe for several days or even longer?

I circled around the big box several times before I found the entrance to the warehouse. Surprise and frustration coexisted. The surprise was that I could see through the damaged gaps that were piled up with many small wooden boxes like cargo in the cabin, and the outside was wrapped with thick plastic rainproof cloth. This must be useful to me. Even those rainproof cloths were extremely useful to me. But what was disappointed was that the heavy lock hanging at the entrance of the cabin door. At this moment, in this situation, who did you ask me for the keys in the wilderness ridge?

As a last resort, I soaked my body in the sea and swam back to the beach, retrieved the daggers from my clothes left on the shore, and turned back several times to find a few sharp stones. I was already half tired. Fortunately, the board of the ship was so rough that it was not decent. After a few hours of energy, I beat a box of boards open, and then the second and third pieces were then, until I could squeeze in there alone, into what I would call heaven in the future.

Before I could check what these small cargo boxes were loaded, I pried open one of them with a dagger and found that it was Moutai, which was useful! I no longer had to drive the second one, because I had to transport as much as possible before night time to return to the shore. After all, it was easy to pour water into the paradise cabin with wooden boards. God knows how much the stuff contained here would be washed away.

So, as long as you can move, everything is mine.

With such possessive thinking, I moved these small boxes to the edge of the reef and connected them in rows, cut the large plastic cloth into several strands and twisted them into plastic ropes to tie them up one by one. It really took me a lot of effort, and then I started working as a courier. Fortunately, I used the buoyancy of the water to find the gaps in the reef so that I would not drag it to the beach with great difficulty, one trip, two trips, three trips. This work was extremely difficult, but I knew that this was the lifeblood of my life I had lived in the past few days, and I couldn't guarantee that there were any valuable things in these boxes to wait for me to go back and find someone to sell them privately. Is it possible that the Moutai liquor in those boxes could make a million or eight hundred thousand?

The sky began to darken again, and the clouds above my head were very light, and the red sunlight shone on these light clouds, colorful and as bright as a splendid. I looked at the cabin with a lot of small wooden boxes, and I really didn't have the strength or interest to check in. I hurriedly tied a few buttons to the cabin door with the remaining little plastic cloth, tied the knocked wooden boards. The rest, let me leave it to fate. God blows such a big guy on this reef area and strand it, and I won't easily take it back. Although I know that this idea is myself comforting myself, it doesn't matter. As long as I can survive these few days, the search and rescue personnel will always find me, right? My motherland will not let his people wander here as savages, although I am a little uncertain about this...

Back on the beach, I looked at the dozens of small wooden boxes in four rows, and my mood was slightly different from noon. At that time, I was looking forward to the ebbing tide, but now I was looking forward to the ebbing tide, not the ebbing tide. I really didn’t have the strength to move these boxes from the beach to the tree one by one, although it was less than a hundred steps, which was too far.

I still couldn't wait to open a small box again because I was a little hungry. After all, the amount of tobacco was too small. I chewed three more in the afternoon. The smell was like chewing the poplar leaves dried in autumn. I couldn't swallow them in my mouth, and I couldn't bear to spit them out.
