Chapter 1182 Longing
Salem really thought he was dead. The last memory before he opened his eyes was that his body was sinking into the dark abyss, sinking continuously, as if he would never sink to the bottom, and then...
Memories are broken here.
In some fragments of memory, there seemed to be a strange figure rushing towards him from the top of his head. That figure was like a man and a fish, with a huge fish tail, and also like a person holding a big fish.
The water was already dark, and the sun was covered by the yellow sand. At that time, the visibility was extremely poor.
There is no such strange figure in other memory fragments. There is a dazzling strong light above his head. His body is light and floating, and he is floating towards the strong light. It is not painful at all, but very comfortable. The scene when ascended to heaven.
He didn't know which was the correct memory, maybe both were real, maybe they were all hallucinations.
An oxygen-deprived brain can create all kinds of hallucinations, even seeing yourself turned into a fish is not surprising.
He raised his head with difficulty, saw Zhang Zian's pure oriental face, tried to use his stiff brain to think for a while, and seemed to remember, "You are the one..."
Zhang Zian smiled, "I came here before you, and we even waved to say hello."
Yes, Salim recalled, thinking like a trickle of water irrigating into a long-dried wheat field, he remembered his purpose of coming to the beach, the black and white kitten he saw, and the pleasure of galloping on the top of the waves , thinking of the Harmaidan wind and the yellow sand all over the sky, thinking of... the pain of drowning and the regret of abandoning the surfboard.
"Can you stand up? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?" Zhang Zizheng raised his eyelids to observe his pupils.
"No! No ambulance!"
Salim's sluggish eyes suddenly froze, and he tensed his body and shouted excitedly.
Zhang Zian was startled, thinking he was having a convulsion, he hurriedly held his body down, and comforted him, "Okay! Okay! Don't call an ambulance! Don't call an ambulance!"
He thought to himself, is this person very resistant to ambulances because he cannot afford the ambulance fee?
This is also possible. After all, Egyptians are very poor. Although Egypt implements free medical care for all, anyone with a little brain can imagine that with Egypt's economic level, the effect of free medical care can be imagined. Some people will choose private hospitals.
Egypt not only implements universal free medical care, but also implements universal free education. Except for a few majors, such as law, medicine, tour guides, etc., other university majors do not charge tuition fees. As for why these majors are exceptions, because other majors earn Less money, and these majors can really make money after graduation!
And just like public hospitals, the level of public universities is... emmmmm, it's hard to describe.
With Zhang Zian's assurance, Salim lay down again weakly, and murmured, "I can't let people know that I almost died, otherwise I won't be able to surf anymore..."
Zhang Zian said at heart that this person is really an idiot, almost dead and still thinking about surfing, but he must be reminded, otherwise he may encounter similar dangers in the future, and at that time he may not be so lucky to meet him. We have arrived at Xinghai.
"Do you remember what happened just now? Do you know how you got into danger?" Zhang Zian asked.
Salim shook his head blankly, "It seems that there is a rapid current under the sea surface, pulling me to the bottom of the sea..."
Zhang Zian gestured and explained to him the characteristics and dangers of rip currents several times, especially when encountering rip currents, one must not abandon the surfboard and try to swim back by himself.
Salim tried hard to understand, kept nodding, and kept these things firmly in his heart.
"Ah! I haven't thanked you yet... By the way, you saved me, right?" He suddenly remembered the most important thing, and subconsciously glanced around, but he didn't see anyone else.
Zhang Zian hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I did the CPR for you, but I wasn't the one who rescued you from the sea."
Salim also noticed that Zhang Zian's clothes were still dry,
Only the trousers were mostly wet.
"Huh? Is the person who saved me a girl?" He asked.
Before waking up, he seemed to hear two people talking, a man and a woman, speaking in a language he didn't understand, but the female voice was very soft and melodious, like the sound of nature.
"Girl...that's it." Zhang Zian said vaguely.
"Where is she...I want to thank her..." Salim moved more widely, trying to raise his head and look around again.
Zhang Zian saw that his physical strength had recovered a little, so he supported his back and helped him sit up, "She has something to do and has already left, so you don't need to look for her. She asked me to tell you that you are welcome, who changed it?" In such a situation, they will come to the rescue.”
Although Shihua didn't say this, she did it with practical actions, even though everyone advised her not to go.
"That's it..."
Salim looked down at his right hand in a sense of loss, and there seemed to be a little softness left in his palm.
Teenagers are always looking forward to a romantic encounter with a beautiful girl in their hearts, especially the girl who saved him, which should have been the beginning of a relationship—this is how it is played in movies.
Zhang Zian couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth and broke his fantasy, saying that it was actually a mermaid, and a mermaid who only likes tall, rich and handsome, you poor boy who can't even call an ambulance, don't worry.
"Come on, let me help you to the shore, it's not a problem to be soaked in the water all the time. Do you have any other discomfort?" Zhang Zian took his arms and helped him up.
Salim woke up like a dream, "Ah, no! I should thank you too! You two saved me! By the way, my name is Salim."
Zhang Zian said casually, "Call me Jeff, I'm a Chinese tourist."
"China..." Salim's eyes showed longing, "I've heard of it, far away, the great Great Wall, the great palace, the great country... Is the girl who saved me also Chinese? ? I heard you seem to be speaking Chinese..."
"This... counts."
Zhang Zian smiled wryly, not because he intended to be perfunctory, but because he didn't know how to answer this question.
Salim was silently supported by Zhang Zian to the shore, and sat down on a rock, and suddenly said as if he had made up his mind: "I will also go to China in the future!"
"Okay." Zhang Zian saw that he still didn't give up on Shihua, smiled and said, "Do you want me to call your family and ask them to pick you up?"
"No, don't!" Salim shook his head, "They won't like me surfing on the beach, they will just drag me back to the desert, just like our Bedouin ancestors did for generations."
