Chapter 247: Torrential Rain
The five men steered the boat to the northwest on the sea, and sailed with the wind and waves for nearly ten days. Liu Shaoyang continued to check the position with a compass, and everyone was very happy to see that he would be able to return to Middle-earth in a few days.
I didn't think that on the evening of this day, the wind in the Xun position suddenly decreased. Liu Shaoyang looked towards the starry night sky, and saw the clouds gathering in all directions. Haoyue's trail suddenly reached the Yin Star and broke into the Aldebaran Eight Star Array.
He saw that the heavens had changed so much, and he couldn't help frowning at the thought of it, and his heart darkened. Shui Xuanling on the side saw that Liu Shaoyang was worried, but when he was worried about the unpredictable fortune and misfortune of Middle Earth this time, he stepped forward with concern and said softly: "Door master, but do you think of what troublesome things you have?" In fact, this time we have to return to Middle-earth, as long as we work together, it is not difficult to regain our strength in the rivers and lakes, and find a way out for the brothers who are hiding and dormant everywhere! ”
Liu Shaoyang knew that she was thinking badly, so he immediately stretched out his hand to the sky, and said solemnly: "Senior sister, you don't know, as the old saying goes, 'The moon loses its line, it is separated from the wind of the Ji, and it is separated from the rain of the Bi." Now looking up at the night sky in this boat, it is clearly a celestial phenomenon of menstruation, and I am afraid that there will be a downpour on the sea near the left in the near future! ”
Shui Xuanling knew that what Liu Shaoyang had always said was true, and his heart jumped and he couldn't help but panic. If the ship is destroyed by a shower from the sky, no matter who is strong in ability, he will also die in the sea without a place to be buried.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Liu Shaoyang set up a leather canopy on the boat to protect him from the rain, and on the other hand, he and Jin Xuance and others struggled to row the boat like a flying cluster and sailed towards the northwest land coast.
Who knew that it was only the next day, and the sky was indeed overcast, and the gray ground pressed down on the surface of the sea, covering the four corners of the dark day like night.
Vaguely at the time of the card, the thunder roared repeatedly above everyone's heads, and the lightning seemed to tear the sky apart, and the thunderbolts frequently hit the boundless sea on the hull of the ship. Immediately afterwards, a strange wind blew from the gen, and the leather canopy that sheltered the ship from the rain suddenly blew in the air and fell into the sea. Then the downpour was like a torrential downpour, and the turbid waves rolled and swept in.
This ship was originally a three-masted ship specially prepared by Chen Wenyi to protect against wind and waves at sea. Even if the unforeseen waves are very violent, it is extremely difficult to capsize the ship in the sea. I never thought that I would encounter such a rare heavy rain, and the rain and waves in the cabin swelled in an instant, and the hull of the ship staggered with the waves.
Liu Shaoyang was frightened, and when he was frightened, he flew vertically, and when he reached the three masts, he dragged down the sails that were about to disperse in turn. He rushed to the rear end of the arrow and wrenched the rudder in his hand, and tried his best to stabilize the boat. The other four hurriedly threw the oars in their hands and went to find the urn to scoop the endless waves of water out of the cabin.
At this time, the hull of the ship turned and tilted with the coming waves, and the people on the ship were unstable and staggered. Suddenly, a big wave rolled over the side of the ship and rushed onto the deck, Ye Xiaoqing's strength was weak and rushed for this overwhelming tide, and when he landed, he lost his strength and screamed, and the whole person flew towards the sea with the momentum.
Liu Shaoyang is at the helm at the stern at the moment, although he sees it, but he is far away, how can he save each other instantly? was so anxious that Huo Ran screamed in shock, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out and his eyes were about to split.
In an instant, the waves swept across the hull of the boat, and Liu Shaoyang's heart rushed to the side of the boat, and he was about to hug the hope of going to the sea to see. But what he saw turned from sadness to joy, it turned out that Ye Xiaoqing's petite body was hanging on the edge of the boat, and he did not fall into the turbulent torrent.
But it was Shui Xuanling, who was close to him, and he was in a hurry to make a dangerous move, and he swept out and leaned over to "hang the golden bell upside down" with his feet hooked the side of the boat, and his right hand stretched out to hold Ye Xiaoqing. At this moment, her body turned inward, and only then did she bring Ye Xiaoqing, who was almost fainting with fright, back to the boat.
Liu Shaoyang saw that Shui Xuanling would sacrifice his life to save Ye Xiaoqing, and for a while, his throat choked up, and he felt a thousand words of gratitude. Shui Xuanling just smiled indifferently with a pale face, and said astringently: "Door master, the safety of the little green girl is taken care of by me, you go and take the helm to the big guy to survive this catastrophe!" ”
In this way, among the five people, Liu Shaoyang was at the helm at the back, and he stood up with all his strength to stabilize the big ship. Jin Xuance and Mo Lingtao danced the urn jar like flying, splashing a steady stream of water out of the cabin like a marquee. Shui Xuanling grabbed the mainmast with one hand and protected Ye Xiaoqing in his arms with the other.
After half an hour, the wind and waves rested for a while, and the ship was steady, but the heavy rain still poured into the cabin. Liu Shaoyang and the three of them were able to free their hands and help splash the waves and rain between the cabins over the boat. It is also thanks to the fact that most of his people are masters of the Xuanmen side, and their hands and feet are strong and strong. The torrential rain pouring into the cabin came out of the cabin, and although it was almost dangerous, it did not submerge the hull of the ship after all.
The rain seemed to be endless, until the next evening, when the ship drifted far southwest with the sudden gust of sea breeze, and the clouds above the heads of the people gradually faded.
Liu Shaoyang and the five of them scooped up the rainwater in the boat, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief and knew that they had escaped the catastrophe. But when he turned to inspect the contents of the cabin, his heart sank, and the abundant fresh water and food that he had prepared was almost swept away by the wind and waves. In addition, the bilge waterwheel was damaged and the oars were lost, and even if the ship did not sink at the moment, it could only drift with the wind.
At this time, the solar term is close to the summer solstice, even if Liu Shaoyang knows a lot about astronomy and geography, he can't figure out why there is a northeast wind whistling. Fortunately, after a few days of drifting in the southwest, the strong wind turned from Xunli and blew to the northwest. The crowd was overjoyed, and the sails were furled, and the ship sailed away in the direction of Middle-earth.
