CHAPTER 40
According to Haiheng's prediction, it may take three or four months to reach the South Island, and he stood on the deck, looking at the endless sea, holding the map and frowning.
Su Cheng lay on the bed with a pale face, still holding the Buddhist scriptures and books in his hands, his lips read intermittently, and the little guy on the side could only stare dryly, shaking back and forth in the room, finally, Su Cheng put down the book in his hand, and said helplessly: "Sansui, the boat is shaking, and I am even more dizzy when you shake it like this." ”
Sansui hurriedly stopped and snatched the Buddhist scriptures from Su Cheng's hand: "Young master, you know what is the use of reciting Buddha and reciting Buddha, and having good thoughts, it is better to directly serve Su Qi this little miscellaneous." ”
"Don't be rude, he's my cousin......"
"At this time, he is still a brother, he is about to rob your family property and take away your qiē!" When Sansui finished shouting this sentence, he found that his son-in-law closed his eyes and stopped talking. Sansui had to sigh, his own son, how can he be so indifferent.
After a few days of seasickness, Xia Jingyu finally returned to a normal state, occasionally swaying on the deck, this ship is very well made, it can be regarded as the top ship of this era, Xia Jingyu looked at the primitive sails, and the deck of the wooden planks, and a few small boats drifting on the sea without lifeboats, and sighed in his heart, people have been fighting with nature, the struggle of this era, the death rate is great, and there are so many people who go one after another to find unknown wealth.
The sea looked at the white foam tumbling in the distance, his face became more and more solemn, and such a large foam floated over, indicating that in the distance, there must be sea water surging, and the sky gradually darkened, but it was still noon at the moment, and the weather was as cloudy as evening.
Suddenly it was completely dark, and the sea shouted: "Put down the sails!" ”
Several sailors climbed up and untied the sails, the huge wind blew the mast straight and swayed, the sailors who climbed up at first failed to grasp it steadily, they were thrown off and fell into the water, the sea did not look at him, and ordered the next sailor to climb up, the waves in the distance had arrived, the huge rain also fell from the sky, lightning mixed with thunder, the sailors' hands trembled and untied the sails, the waves hit the ship violently, the ship shook several times, and the deck was also flooded on the deck, and at this time a few sailors came, Holding the axe in his hand, the sea crosser and the sailors raised the axe, and cut at the mast, and with the efforts of several people, the mast broke, and the sailor who had unsailed at the top screamed and landed on the deck, not moving, but at the moment the scene was chaotic and ignored him.
There was a chaotic crowd screaming and commotion all around, Rao is a person like Xia Jingyu who has experienced life and death, and her face is also a little pale at the moment, the boat is often tilted at all angles, her stomach is constantly churning, and her spirit is still engrossed, ready to enter the space at any time.
The wind and waves and the torrential rain lasted for nearly three hours, and when the wind and waves were calm, the night had really come, and the sea crossed all the people on board to count the losses of the ship, his face became darker and darker, in this wind and waves, more than a dozen crew members were lost, and the other four ships in the fleet were also gone, and the sea was clear in his heart, and none of the crew members on the other ships were more experienced than him, and in this great wind and waves, it was estimated that there was more than luck.
The mast had been cut off, and although the ship had been spared from the storm, they had now lost their coordinates and could no longer rely on the wind for future journeys.
Hai Heng held the map, constantly calculated, what was the wind speed in the previous days, what was the trip, what was the speed of the current, sketched the location of the accident on the map, and took out the telescope, looked at the stars in the night sky, vaguely judged the direction, put down the telescope, a white smile, they lost their path, if they continue to rush south, they may reach a certain coast of the South Island, or they may miss the South Island, continue to the south.
It is not the first time to drift on the sea, going to sea is a very risky thing, people who do this line of work, very few can die right, the more experienced the owner, the more difficult the work, so their death probability is greater than those who only fish on the seaside, and the fishermen who are struggling to make a living, the sea is born and died at sea for so many years, and has long put life and death out of the way, people at sea, a qiē has to resign himself to fate, and other sailors on the ship are also carefully selected by the sea cross, Experienced sailors, seeing such a situation, most of them knew in their hearts, and did not ask much, glad that they could save a life for the time being, what the future holds, that is a matter of the future.
Only Sansui stomped his feet there anxiously, Su Cheng was in a coma for a long time because of his poor health, when the wind and waves came, he was still asleep, and Sansui stayed next to him, so although the wind and waves were so strong that the hull tilted, Su Cheng fell off the bed, and Sansui was just his own young master, who had rolled back and forth in the room many times after the boat was a little stable, and then carried him back to the bed.
Sansui had never been to sea, so he went out this time to find a local sailor, and made up for the common sense about going to sea, and the sailor told him that the sea was stormy, and he often encountered heavy rain, and the ship was not very stable.
Therefore, Misui thought that what happened yesterday was a normal situation, and then he got up early this morning, and was about to inquire about the itinerary of the ship at sea, when he saw the mast that had been seen, and the other four ships that had come together but disappeared at the moment.
"Where's the ship?" Misui asked.
"Aren't you on the boat right now?"
"I'm talking about the other four." Misui thought that Haiheng didn't understand, and added.
"God knows......" Haiheng gave him a cold look.
The food and fresh water on the ship suddenly became nervous, because no one was sure when they would be able to reach the land, and the food and fresh water were redistributed at sea, Sansui watched the young master eat and drink every day, and jumped to his feet in a hurry: "How can the young master let go of the sluts below so lightly, the young master spent a lot of money to invite them, they are good, now they are anti-guest, dare to deduct the young master's daily use." ”
"It doesn't matter."
~~~~~~
When the ship rolled the most in the storm, Xia Jingyu decisively entered the space, fortunately, the space is an independent place, not swaying with the ship, Xia Jingyu looked at the situation outside in the space, his heartbeat was very violent, in the face of the rapidly changing environment, the weak power of people is almost negligible, and also, when modern technology is so developed, people are still so fragile and small in the face of tsunamis and earthquakes.
After that, the food is deducted, and it is stricter here in Xia Jingyu, at this juncture of life and death, no one is still interested in paying attention to the life and death of others, and the basic characteristics of human society are vividly expressed at this time, from a certain day, Xia Jingyu, Su Cheng, Sansui, and some weak sailors have not been allocated food again.
Sansui went to find Hai Heng Theory, and Hai Heng looked at him coldly:
"If you don't want to die now, put away your shelves for me."
At this time, there was a sound of water fluttering behind Sansui, and a person's body was thrown into the sea, at this time, a weak sailor was found stealing food at night, and then everyone rushed up to kill him, Xia Jingyu's heart was numb when he watched in the space, and Haiheng looked at the corpse indifferently, cut off the deceased's thighs and arms with a machete, and ordered others to salt it well in case of emergency.
