It would have been a perfect wedding, if it weren't for the sudden tropical storm.

The location chosen for the group wedding is a pristine island that has not yet been developed by tourism, and the hotels, B&Bs and other places on the island are very limited, and they have long been booked out by the remaining 49 couples who come prepared, as well as their relatives and friends.

In this case, we should have boarded the ship as soon as possible, and even if we couldn't return to Sanya, we could have escaped the storm on the larger nearby islands, but the bad thing was that none of us had the experience to do so.

At the end of the group wedding, a gray line faintly appeared in the distance where the sea and the sky met, and an experienced local man kindly reminded: "The wind blows the branches of the trees at level 8, the roof tiles fly at level 9, and the trees are pulled up and the house falls down at level 10." The storm is coming, so go back to your lodging and hide. ”

Hide?

It wasn't until we leisurely changed out of our wedding dresses, had a seafood feast, and got up to leave the restaurant satisfied, that the idea of "it's time to hide" was on the agenda.

As soon as they came out of the restaurant, everyone's first reaction was: It's windy!

Unlike the dry knife-like wind in the north, the wind here carries the water vapor that can spill out, and when you stand in the wind for a while, you only feel like a piece of pork filled with water.

The sky was gray and black, like a face that had rubbed hundreds of tons of expired foundation.

I was worried, "Is there still a boat, can we get back?"

Cao Cao patted his belly, "This little wind, as long as the boat is big enough and the sails are full, the speed is very fast." ”

Is the experience of Chibi navigation during the Three Kingdoms period applicable to modern sea navigation?

After some discussion, everyone decided to try their luck at the docks.

The dock was full of boats returning to shelter from the storm, and I stood on the shore and shouted to the boss of the nearest ship, "Out of the island?"

Harvested the special gaze of the ship boss when he looked at the fool.

After asking a few families one after another, the situation was the same, and it seemed that the island was inseparable before the storm stopped.

As soon as everyone summed up, they began to discuss with the captain of the ship to see if they could rent a place to shelter from the storm.

Someone said that they could move two vacant rooms for us, and I quickly asked the price, but the honest fishermen had never done this kind of business, and I asked me to say it for a long time.

"Five hundred!"

As soon as this number came out, I wondered if he could add a little more if he didn't agree, up to 800.

The fisherman was stunned for a moment, "Five hundred?"

I was about to say yes when I saw someone waving to us on a search boat not far away, a man and a woman, who were the little couple I met in the VIP room when we came.

They said something to the captain of the same boat, who looked disgruntled, and almost jumped to his feet, but still brought the boat to the shore.

The woman said to Xu Xiaoman: "You also want to leave the island, get on the boat quickly!"

We exchanged glances, and the storm had passed at some point, and hundreds of days were spent in the fishermen's huts, so it was better to leave early.

Cao Cao took the lead, everyone boarded the boat, and I walked last.

When I boarded the boat, the fisherman who wanted to rent the vacant house to us for a short period of time had a gloomy look in his eyes, and muttered something in his mouth, which I didn't hear clearly.

We ignored him, just as the business in hand flew away, and the fishermen were unhappy.

As soon as I got on the boat, I screamed behind me, and a middle-aged man wrapped in a black raincoat jumped onto the boat almost in one step, his back bulging, as if there was a backpack, which made the originally wide raincoat tight, revealing his strong figure.

He raced a small pile of money into the hands of the boat boss, dropped the sentence "take me one", and went straight into the cabin.

I didn't look at anyone else during the whole process.

"Hey, this is the boat we have chartered! What's the matter with you! I don't know how to be polite!" the woman reluctantly tried to chase after the cabin, but was stopped by the man, who seemed to be afraid of the "black raincoat".

The captain looked at us and shook his head and ordered the crew to sail.

"Rush out and avoid the eye of the storm. He shouted.

The boat slowly accelerated, and the farther away from the dock, the more it swayed.

The boat wasn't too big, and I thought it would be nice to have a place to sit in a cramped cabin, but the boat boss arranged a bed for each person, which was beyond my expectations.

If I had known the dangers of this trip, I would not have stayed for a second longer, even if he had given me the presidential suite.

Not counting the pedal duck boats in the park, this is the second time in my life that I've been on a boat, lying in bed, my body swaying uncontrollably.

I began to regret it, even if it was 800 yuan a day, it was actually not too expensive, even if I was stuck on the island for a few days, even if the accommodation conditions were poor, I also admitted it, why did I get on the boat so recklessly?

I shook my head and forced myself not to think about the stories I had seen about ghost ships, about shipwrecks, about sea monsters.

Xu Xiaoman has a big heart, she fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed, this half a day is indeed enough for her to be tired, plus she just ate and drank a lot of rice wine, and now that the wine is up, she sleeps very deeply.

Thinking that we hadn't paid yet, and fearing that we would be ripped off, we simply got up and wanted to go to the boat boss or the couple who invited us on board to negotiate the price.

Xu Xiaoman and I were in the cabin at the very end, next door was Heshen Zhao Gao, the two old boys were overwhelmed with bumps, seasick, their faces were a little pale, they were spread out on the bed with their eyes closed and frowning, and they were weak.

I said hello to them and said that I would help them find some seasickness medicine, and Shen hummed weakly.

Next door to them are Cao Cao and Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei is sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, Cao Cao is not there, and when he asks, he will go to the toilet as soon as he gets on the boat.

Xiao Hei and they are next door to Daji and Li Teng, passing by the door of the cabin, I vaguely heard laughter inside, I didn't bother.

The remaining two cabins were occupied by the little couple and the man in the black raincoat, and I wanted to go and say thank you to the little couple, but I didn't know which one they lived in, so I simply knocked on the door of the penultimate room.

"Who?"

A vigilant male voice came from the cabin.

"I ...... That one...... Did we meet when we came? I'm here ......" I decided to ask their names later, it would be awkward to say hello like that.

"You're on the wrong track!"

It seems that there is a man in a raincoat living in it.

I said sorry and raised my hand to knock on the last hatch, but no one answered, and it seemed that neither of them was there.

It's better to go to the boat boss, thinking so, I began to grope in the direction of the wheelhouse.

Fortunately, there was a handrail on the side of the walkway, and I grabbed the handrail and moved it forward carefully, for fear of accidentally falling to the ground. The boat is too bumpy, and it is difficult for a person to get back up once he falls.

Finally walked through this aisle, and as soon as he turned the corner, the man in the raincoat came head-on, his balance was really good, and his feet were like walking on the ground.

I thought I had just knocked on the wrong door, and I was embarrassed, and I smiled at him, and he passed me without squinting.

This guy is a good match for Xiao Hei.

When he found the boss of the ship, he was standing at the door of the cockpit smoking a cigarette, the paper roll of tobacco, cheap, strong, his head and body were all soaked, but his mental head was not wilted by the wind and waves.

When he saw me, he said "I don't understand the rules" a few times, but I didn't understand the local dialect, but I knew that he meant to let me hurry back to the cabin and stay.

It seemed that this was not suitable for talking about money, so I asked him for seasickness medicine, and he scolded and said something like "invited a few ancestors" and "difficult to serve", and finally took out a first aid kit and gave me a few seasickness medicine.

I cheekily asked him for water, and he waved his hand again and again, saying no.

I thought to myself that it would take a few hours for the boat to arrive, and I didn't even have a saliva to do it, so I insisted on letting him find a way to find water, but he was forced by me to have no choice, so he took a bottle of mineral water, and I saw that there were several boxes of mineral water where he took the water, so I simply dropped a hundred yuan, carried a box and left.

I don't know if it's because of the money, but the boat boss didn't scold his mother this time, but only said "If you have a life, you have no life to drink".
