While talking and laughing, our fleet sailed forward and looked at the joyful scene in front of us, but I was always worried about one thing.
Even those twenty-odd small canoes can still manage to travel on the sea when the sea is calm. Once there is a big squall, they can only abandon the ship.
I called General Su aside and told him about my worries. He was also thinking about this matter. The country of Qi is close to the sea and its navigation industry is quite developed. And General Su has been fighting in the wind and waves for many years. Regarding these,
There's no way he doesn't know
He made two suggestions. One is not to go deep into the ocean. There is no wind and there are three feet of waves. Those small canoes cannot travel at all. It is best that we move along the edge of the continent. The other is to do it at any time.
Be prepared to abandon the ship. When encountering a big lang, all people in the small boat will immediately return to the big ship to ensure safety.
However, with these twenty-odd small boats, we do feel that the space is spacious. In addition, when the wind is calm, the small boats also have the convenience of small boats.
To prepare for a rainy day, General Su ordered his people to prepare the cables on his ship and drilled lashing holes in each small boat. If there was an emergency, everyone would return to the big ship and string the small boats to the big ship with cables.
On the ship, it will not be lost in the wind and waves
Fortunately we thought ahead and made preparations in advance, otherwise all the canoes we brought from the Kobe tribe might have been lost in the middle of the night.
King Tian was very happy tonight. He drank a whole jar of wine by himself, and wanted to drink more. With the strength of the wine, he told us that when he just left Qidi, he always felt a little grudge in his heart. Now, Tian
The earth is so big, I feel more and more fortunate
Isn't this what all of us think? With so many people by his side, he has to travel thousands of miles. This is why he raised the glass so frequently tonight.
More importantly, Tian Wang's emotions have also infected Hua, and her attitude towards me has also changed tonight. Ever since she saw Rokkaku, she has been lukewarm towards me, not only annoyed, but also
Don't say it, don't worry, that's what makes me feel uncomfortable
But in the evening, after the New Year's Eve dinner, she took the initiative to talk to me. I was so surprised and happy that I didn't know how to express it. In our bedroom, regardless of the presence of several other women, she looked like a pitiful anxious monkey.
Instead, she said, "Look at you, Sister Jiang, Sister Liujiao, and Sister Qi Xue are all waiting for you." I didn't care, I just hugged her and made love.
It's okay for the others, but Jiang Wanqing is completely embarrassed. I haven't had the chance to touch her since King Tian announced that she would be given to me. I have never seen such a scene, but the good upbringing she received since childhood only made her blush.
, hiding behind Qi Xue blankly. I have never touched Qi Xue. Others are easy to talk to, either pretending to be asleep, or peeking at her secretly.
Having more wives is not a good thing. You have to take care of them one by one. By the middle of the night, I was so tired and exhausted that I fell into a deep sleep. As soon as I fell asleep, I felt a movement under the bed.
I just felt the bed board lower and higher, and the six people in the room huddled together. Screams reached my eardrums. The first was Xiaoyue. She grabbed my hand and shouted:
"Brother, it's not good!" I knew it was a big rant and immediately told them to calm down.
He held on to the door frame and came to the hall. The doors to the inner cabins were all opened. The three generals and King Tian also came out. The snake pill was hanging on the roof of the cabin, swinging from side to side.
I poked my head out of the porthole and saw the general's ship right behind us, appearing and disappearing in the huge waves. I seized the opportunity and shouted to him, "Everyone is coming up?"
He stuck his head out from the driving and observation deck and replied, "They're all up, but before all the boats were hooked up, a few were lost!"
As soon as I finished my reply, our turtle boat fell into a deep ravine. The water was like a wall, roaring above my head. In the blink of an eye, it reached the tip of the lagoon again, and General Su and his wooden boat were invisible again.
I turned around and said to Tian Wang and others, "Don't worry, no one is in danger."
But most of the people in the cabin vomited. The old lady held Tian Wang's hand tightly and would not let go for a moment. Xu Jie also held a wooden pillar with a nervous look on her face and joined General Ji.
I said, "It's no big deal. There will be no problems with our ship. Everyone, take care of yourselves. There will be many more things like this in the future." As soon as I finished speaking, I felt an overwhelming discomfort in my stomach and a spicy taste.
As soon as it surged up, it reached the throat, and then vomited without any suspense.
Luo Jiao and Qi Xue somehow managed to crawl to my side. They grabbed my arms and we returned to our cabins. The others also returned to their respective places.
It's raining heavily outside again, with lightning, snow and thunder. At this time, you should keep your heart in your stomach because there is no other way but to wait.
I don’t know how far it has drifted with the current, and I don’t know where it has drifted to. The power compartment is still working continuously. The two sergeants there have little impact except for the need to hold on to the handrails because, in the case of a turtle ship,
The size is the best to withstand big dogs, but it makes people feel a little uncomfortable when it rises and falls.
From time to time, seawater splashed in through the porthole on the top of the tortoise shell. We hid in the lower level of the cabin and lay flat on the bed. Xiaoyue, Tian Hua, me, Jiang Wanqing, Liujiao, and Qi Xue held each other's arms. It was much better this way.
Everyone is praying that this bad weather will pass soon.
Later, the sea gradually calmed down, and a ray of summer light entered the cabin. I heard the shouts of General Su and some other people, who also loudly pointed the direction.
I was two or three hundred steps away from us on the sea. There seemed to be two people with their heads exposed on the water. They were holding a long wooden board and appeared and disappeared in the lang.
Our two large boats quickly approached them. General Su's wooden boat was towing a string of small boats behind it, like a long tail, making it a little inconvenient to move. Finally, it was our turtle boat that was the first to approach them.
These are two people who were shipwrecked at sea
There was another one, a woman. They were already dying. When we fished them out, they lay on the deck without making a sound for a long time. A white dove hovered over General Su's wooden boat for a while and landed next to them.
We helped the two people into the cabin respectively, found dry clothes for them to change into, and gave them dry food, which they grabbed in their hands and ate it hungrily.
As soon as they spoke, there was a feeling of familiarity and kindness. Because they were from the mainland, they spoke southern dialect with a strong accent. I couldn’t understand it in my eagerness, but we all knew it was our hometown dialect.
Later, they released the pigeons and pointed to the direction in which the pigeons flew and told us that in that direction, their family members were trapped at sea for several days.
Needless to say, Tian Wang pointed with his big hand, and we turned the bow of the boat at the same time and sailed in the direction where the pigeons were flying.
