Chapter 172: Falling into the Sea

Lan Xin shook his head and smiled and said, "I don't dare to take this credit, if it weren't for your night observation of the sky and the prediction of the weather changes with years of sailing experience, we would definitely be caught off guard by this storm."

"But if it weren't for the girl's decisiveness, let them argue endlessly, and couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, I'm afraid ・・・・・・ now" Tong Dachuan shook his head in shock, with the storm last night, the tragic scene was unimaginable.

"Okay, Uncle Tong, let's not praise each other here. As I said a long time ago, we are all people in the same boat, and we must all work hard for the safe arrival of the ship. Lan Xin smiled and said, last night's wind and rain had already made her legs weak, but she couldn't think about anything else, so she quickly changed the topic, "Let's go to other places on the ship to have a look." ”

Qinghe walked over and draped the cloak over Lan Xin's body. Lan Xin put on his hood and walked out of the cabin by the light of the wind lamp. The big ship is a three-story attic, and Lan Xin lives on the second floor. So I first made a round around the second floor, and Aunt Bing and the other two secret guards disguised themselves as helpers on the ship, and also lived on the second floor. Lan Xin was relieved to see that everyone was fine.

When they went down to the first floor, the Han brothers, Lan Yi, and Xiongfei also happened to come back from patrolling. After a salute, they were all relieved to see that Lan Xin was safe and sound. There was no damage to the big ship, and the people on board were all fine except that they were pale with fright. Lan Xin nodded reassuringly, and then ordered to prepare breakfast, no matter what, always fill his stomach.

Breakfast is very simple, just cook a large pot of porridge and marinate the pickles in advance. Lan Xin didn't go back to the room, just sat in the hall, drinking porridge and eating small pickles with everyone with a bowl. Despite the churning of her stomach and the bitterness in her mouth, she insisted on drinking the porridge in small sips. When the others saw that their masters had eaten, they were not good at saving their faces, and they also took their bowls and drank them in large or small sips.

Lan Xin saw everyone's eating movements out of the corner of his eyes, and he was secretly relieved. I didn't know who I had heard before, but people who are full are not afraid of the cold, and they are not easily afraid. As long as there is no fear, people's hearts will be easy to stabilize. There is no commotion, and there is a lot less trouble.

The wind gradually subsided, and everyone's faces were much lighter, and even smiled.

Lan Xin followed the Han brothers to the stern of the boat, the sea breeze blowing her cloak and hunting. The dark clouds are overhead, the turquoise water has become turbid, and on the calm sea, the waves are rolling incessantly, like a monster with bared teeth waiting for an opportunity to move, taking advantage of your inattention to come and take a bite. Occasionally, a strong wind will stir up a high wave, like a gluttony in the world, and want to swallow the whole ship into the stomach. It's a pity that the wind is not enough, and it just shows its side and disappears.

Lan Xin's eyes widened, looking at the huge waves in horror, it should have been all such big waves roaring last night, right?!

The heavy-winged, double-sailed red-masted ship that followed the big ship staggered like a drunken man. The rearmost schooner had tilted, and the waves were crashing against the edge, and the water was already splashing into the boat.

Lan Xin felt a pain in his heart, not only for the goods, but also for the ship. There weren't many things left to her by her father, and now they have to be the same.

"Girl, the old slave should take someone over and straighten the ship! Han Wu saw that the hull of the ship was tilted, and he felt distressed for a while, and took the initiative to ask.

"No!" Lan Xin flatly refused despite the blood dripping from his heart, "It's still dark clouds, and there will be rain at any time." And the sea is very uneasy right now, and we don't need to risk so many lives for that cargo. Her face was hidden in the hood, and no one saw the reluctance and forbearance on her face.

"As long as you move fast, you won't be a problem. Han Da also opened his mouth to help, "Otherwise, if the boat is soaked in water for a long time, it will be deformed, and it will no longer be able to walk on the sea." Unlike Han Wu's focus, he was reluctant to take the ship.

"Say no more. Lan Xin decisively refused, "No matter what it is, it is now in a dangerous period, and no one is allowed to go to the sea without permission." When the goods are destroyed, they are ruined. If the ship can't sail anymore, we'll just tow it back and go. After you go back, take a good rest and put it on the Zhuangzi forever. Her voice grew lower and lower, almost drowned out by the sound of rolling waves. But the people around me still heard clearly, and some even had red circles under their eyes.

A dark cloud drifted over the ship, and it became darker. "Let's go back. Lan Xin gathered the cloak on his body and commanded.

A bolt of lightning tore through the dark clouds and rushed out and landed on the surface of the sea beside the ship, causing bursts of sparks. "Ah!" everyone was startled and looked at the scene in horror.

Lan Xin's sharp eyes saw a black dot falling with the lightning, and subconsciously looked carefully. I saw a black, palm-sized bird floating on the sea. The lightning seemed to hit its back right now, causing it to lose the strength to fly away from the sea. It seems to have injured its wings, so that it has no strength to flutter. The bird floats on the surface of the sea, drifting with the waves, letting the waves swallow it little by little.

The little bird was unwilling and tried to get out of the predicament in front of him, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and no matter how unwilling it was, it was still swallowed by the waves little by little. It is powerless to struggle, and can only accept the fate in front of it. The struggle in its eyes gradually turned into despair, even if it was unwilling, it still couldn't get rid of the fate of being devoured.

Lan Xin understood the bird's eyes for a moment, and his heart throbbed. His hands were faster than his brains, and he grabbed the stick with forked horns next to him and threw it into the sea. She grasped the railing of the boat with one hand, and with the other she used the net on the fork to net the bird in the sea.

It was a bit far away, and she had to lean out. The rough waves made her dizzy for a while, but the arrow did not allow her to hesitate, and she struggled to net the bird. The hard work paid off, and she finally caught the bird.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the sea became angry. The delicious meal that I finally waited for was cut off like this. Thunder roared in the sky, and waves rolled in the sea. A huge wave crashed against the hull of the boat, the boat tilted, Lan Xin staggered, and subconsciously threw the net in his hand back to the boat. And she herself was unstable in her center of gravity and planted herself into the sea.

"Ahh
