For several days, the sky was clear and the sea was calm, and the occasional swift wind and waves hit it, and the experienced sailors could easily avoid or pass through. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the sea is not always calm, and occasionally the waves are rolling, and once it goes berserk, the storm and the waves are so fierce that they can overturn the bow of the ship at any time and swallow up the life of the whole ship.

On the fifth day of the ship's voyage, at dawn everyone noticed that the weather had changed, and the entire eastern sky was shrouded in thick clouds, which hung low to the horizon.

At sunrise, there was not even a shadow of the rising sun, only a thick layer of clouds gilded with a layer of gold.

Finally, the sun broke out of the encirclement and showed its face, but the next moment it was covered by the drifting clouds, and only a bright yellow and slightly bright silhouette could be seen vaguely.

On the contrary, the clouds scattered and wandering in the middle of the sky were dyed by the light of the sun in golden, bright red, and dark purple, colorful and dazzling.

On the deck, the children jumped on the deck and rejoiced in the clouds, applauding and intoxicated by the beauty of nature.

Liu Zhan even hurriedly returned to the cabin and took out his own drawing paper and brush, lay on the deck, and drew in a similar manner.

Liu Zhi looked at the hazy and dim morning sun that was hidden by the clouds, and sighed lightly.

The morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles.

It looks like it's going to change.

Sure enough, the wind gradually changed in the afternoon.

In order not to affect the speed of the ship, Mr. Josephine specially adjusted the sails, and told the boatmen to pay attention to the course and maintain the speed.

At this time, there is still a long way to go to the next port, and the wind and waves are not too big, so this arrangement is the safest and feasible.

Maybe if you go any further, the wind will be calm!

Apparently, however, Mr. Josephine was overly optimistic, and although the sun was occasionally shining on the road, most of the time it was dark and the sea breeze was bleak.

In the evening, the sea breeze, which had been soft, suddenly became cold.

Afraid that the children would be sick by the sea breeze, after dinner, everyone went to their respective cabins early to rest, and did not bounty Ussi Fall as usual, and watched the stars and the moon shine together.

In the second half of the night, the sea breeze became more and more fierce and fierce, and the building boat, which had only been shaking slightly regularly, also jolted, waking up the originally sleeping people gradually.

Only the children, tired from playing during the day, were sleeping soundly at this time, and did not notice the increasingly violent wind outside.

"It's going to be okay, is it?" In the dark, Peng Jin asked in a worried whisper, but before Liu Zhi beside her could answer, she immediately took another sip and said urgently: "Bah, bah!" Good luck! Good luck! ”

Although she is not superstitious, she is not willing to say some unpleasant things at such a dangerous juncture.

Liu Shi chuckled lowly, stretched out his hand, accurately held Peng Jin's nervously clasped hands, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid. You forget, three years ago, when we went to Quanzhou by boat, we also encountered such a situation. As a result, it didn't go through unscathed. ”

Peng Jin wanted to say how could it be the same, the three years was during the day, and the situation on the sea was basically recognizable, whether it was dealing with storms and waves, or identifying the course, it was much easier than this time;

This time, it was late at night, and the thick clouds obscured the light of the full moon and the Big Dipper, which was guiding the way, and it was pitch black all around, and it was impossible to discern the surrounding situation.

But Peng Jin moved his lips, but he just tried to keep his composure and sighed lightly: "Maybe it's because the night is dark, I can't see my fingers, and there is a terrible sea breeze in my ears, which makes the boat bumpy, so I will be frightened for a while." ”

When Peng Jin said this, he also tried to put on a self-deprecating smile, wanting to break the heavy and stagnant atmosphere in front of him.

However, without Liu Shi's explanation, she herself found that the reluctant smile could expose the panic and fear in her heart more than crying.

She's afraid, very afraid!

She is afraid that she will not be able to protect the children around her, so that they can cheer for the rising sun that will burst out tomorrow safely and smoothly; I'm afraid that I won't be able to join Liu Shi with Bai Shou, and my children and grandchildren will be full of children and grandchildren, and I will live for a long time.

Once a person has something to care about, he will unconsciously become extremely vulnerable at some point, such as now, in the dark night on the windy sea, facing her husband and children around her.

"Don't be afraid." In the darkness, Liu Zhi's gentle voice sounded, gently soothing Peng Jin's heart, "I'm here." ”

I'm here!

Yes! With Liu Zhi by her side and guarding the children with her, why should she be afraid!

Liu Zhi's sentence "I am" is like a bean light in the darkness and coldness, although it is faint, but it resolutely and powerfully pierces the depression and fear in Peng Jin's heart, bringing her light and warmth, which is enough to help her resist the panic caused by danger.

Peng Jin clenched Liu Shi's hand vigorously, took two deep breaths, became calm again, and said in a low voice: "I'll stay and watch the children, you go and ask Mr. Josephine how our situation is at the moment." ”

Even if it is risky and difficult, at least you have to fight hard to get that glimmer of life.

Peng Jin, who calmed down so quickly, made Liu Zhi secretly surprised and admired.

"Okay." Liu Zhi replied dryly, relieved that Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che, who were still asleep, were handed over to Peng Jin to take care of, got up in the dark, put on their coats, and walked freely to the door of the cabin.

Although he had not yet practiced the advanced kung fu that could be seen at night, with the acumen and intuition of many years of martial arts, he would not trip over the tables and chairs and other objects in this dark cabin.

As soon as Liu Shi pushed open the hatch, a cold and salty sea breeze immediately blew in.

Peng Jin immediately moved in the direction of the door, using his back to block the invading sea breeze, and at the same time reached out and pulled the children's quilts up, wrapping them tightly in the quilt.

"I went. Wait for me to come back. Liu Zhi quickly flashed out, and when he closed the hatch, he said in a low voice to Peng Jin in the cabin.

Before Peng Jin could answer, he heard the sound of the hatch closing.

Liu Shi closed the door so eagerly, obviously because he was afraid that the cold sea breeze would blow their mothers and sons.

Peng Jin's heart was soft and warm, and the cold back of the sea breeze that had just been invaded seemed to be as warm as if he had just been kissed by the warm sun in March.

Peng Jin snuggled up to the three children again, shielded them tightly in front of him while they were still sleeping, and listened to Liu Shi's footsteps gradually moving away, all the way to the wheelhouse.

In the wheelhouse, there were already several people standing at this time, in addition to Mr. Josephine, there were also Zhang Minghua, Li Lao Er and others who were awakened.

Seeing Liu Shi push the door in, everyone was busy greeting him, but they all had a serious face, not as relaxed and happy as usual.
