106: Waiting and Hope
It's the third day. Since the sinking of the big boat, everyone has been drifting on the sea in a life-saving boat, and it has been the third day. During these three days, although fortunately there was no wind and rain. But they were half burned to death by the sun during the day, and half to death by freezing at night. It takes a lot of effort to row. It's even more difficult than the usual three years.
It's a blessing in the midst of misfortune. Hu Yuji and these female soldiers under her command are all used to boats and seas. Therefore, these two lifeboats, barely deviating from the course, are still moving towards the northeast.
In addition, Cheng Li also dived into the extremely deep seabed and caught two big fish weighing more than 30 catties each to provide everyone with a chat to satisfy their hunger. Although more than 20 people came to divide the two fish, each person did not get much. But finally something to cushion the stomach.
Otherwise, there will be no food or water, and you will have to keep rowing. Even if he is an iron man, he will definitely not be able to hold it.
However, the good luck of Cheng Li and others seems to have run out.
The boundless sea, the wind and clouds are changing. The speed of change is so fast that even the face of a three-year-old child is far from comparable. Just now, the sky was still clear, and the sun was like fire. But in the blink of an eye, there were already dark clouds, as if they were about to press on their heads, making people feel stuffy in their chests and unable to breathe. Between the sky and the sea, a whirring wind blew and stirred up wave after wave.
People are on the boat, and they can only helplessly go with the flow. Thrown up and down by the big waves. Le Dashao grabbed the side of the boat tightly with both hands, and couldn't help but ask, "It seems to be ...... It's going to be windy?"
Xi Yinchun smiled bitterly: "It's not that it's going to be windy, but it's already starting to blow." ”
Le Dashao asked nervously: "So, is it windy, or windy, or stormy?"
Hu Yuji said coldly: "What's the difference? No matter what level of wind, in short, it will be difficult for our two small boats to withstand it." ”
When everyone on the boat heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads and look at their boat in a daze.
The boat is really a good ship, the materials are exquisite, and the craftsmanship is not ambiguous. The only downside is that it's too small. Such a small ship has no resistance in the face of wind and waves. As long as the wind is a little stronger and the waves are a little higher, the two small boats will have to fall apart.
There is no doubt that this is already a desperate situation. Suddenly, everyone on the two ships unanimously set their eyes on Cheng Li. Because everyone has no master, subconsciously, they want to find the backbone of the master to rely on. And here and now, except for Cheng Li, there is no one else who can act as the backbone of everyone.
But what can Cheng Li do? Although the robbers are stronger than ordinary people, they are too small in the face of the power of heaven and earth.
So Cheng Li has only one way now: wait.
Because Cheng Li once heard his adoptive father, the old man who was the director of the research institute, say a sentence: All the wisdom of human beings is contained in two words. That is "waiting" and "hoping".
As long as you are willing to wait, as long as you persist in waiting until the last moment, then there will always be hope.
The wind is getting stronger, the waves are getting higher and higher, and it is even raining in the sky.
The dense raindrops are the size of soybeans. When it hits the skin, it immediately causes a dull pain.
This is not only a strong wind, but also a violent storm and stormy seas.
Two small boats, tied tightly together with cables, jumped side by side on the sea. The only thing the people could do was to hold on to the side of the ship and wait.
Between the ups and downs, every bone in the body was almost shaken apart. The torrential rain and waves were so wet that I couldn't even open my eyelids. In such a situation, almost every extra second of support is a miracle.
In fact, many people on the ship began to wonder: why should I continue to hold on? Anyway, why not just die a lighter death?
"Death" itself is not painful, what is really painful is only the waiting moment before death.
It is only at such times that a person's courage can be seen.
Most of the remaining female soldiers are already blank and just rely on instinct to support them. At any point, it's no surprise that they suddenly let go.
Hu Yuji and Leng Yuxiang always sat there with their heads held high, loudly cheering for the female soldiers and encouraging them to persevere.
Le Dashao's face was pale, his forehead was dense, and he didn't know whether it was rain or sweat. There are words in his mouth, and he doesn't know which god he is praying for blessings, and how many great wishes he has made.
The bodyguard of the man in black lowered his head and looked blank. There was still a strange mocking glint in his eyes. No one knew whether he was mocking anyone else or himself.
Xi Yinchun's expression was as usual, and he hummed a little song softly in his mouth, as if he was complacent.
Cheng Li didn't say a word, and on the surface, he couldn't find any difference between him and usual. But no one knew that among the more than 20 people in the two boats, he was actually the most stressed.
The reason why the two small boats have been able to hold on to the present and have not been scattered by the wind and waves is actually not because of their luck, but because Cheng Li secretly used the "Dizang Tribulation" to protect them.
Of course, Cheng Li could only use the land to protect the boat at the most critical moment. Otherwise, no matter how strong his power was, he would have already been out of a coma at this time.
No matter how stressful or tiring it is, no matter how intense and dense the storm is, it is not terrible. Because as long as a person can struggle, struggle, and resist, then nothing is terrible for him.
I don't know how long it has been - in my mind, it seems as if a full hundred years, or even a thousand years have passed. Finally, the wind and waves gradually subsided. I don't know when the rainstorm started, but it hasn't rained anymore.
Everyone on the boat, who had been bumped and had been bumped into the sea, felt the changes in the surrounding environment, and reached out to wipe it on their faces, and then slowly opened their eyes.
As far as the eye can see, there are dark clouds in the sky, which have long since dissipated without a trace. Instead, a westward sunset floats above the sea. Ten thousand golden lights shine with the waves, between the sea and the sky, a boundless. This situation is beautiful.
Everyone subconsciously cheered loudly. In any case, they finally survived this catastrophe. The aftermath of the catastrophe is always exciting. At this time, naturally, no one will think about the problem of "what to do after that".
If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. This phrase is very old. But the older you get, the more it makes sense.
The cheers did not stop, and suddenly, Cheng Li got up suddenly, raised his hand to the northeast, and said in a hoarse voice: "Look, what is that?"
Xi Yinchun also stood up and looked at Cheng Li's fingers. In a moment, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "It's a ship! It's a big ship!
