Chapter 229 Storm

Huang Long heard that Luo Daxi was asking for a bronze medal, and he didn't hesitate, he went directly to the secret room upstairs to get it and gave it to Li Hao, which made Li Hao and Luo Daxi a little embarrassed, Huang Long came down from upstairs, holding a wooden box in his hand, and put it in front of Li Hao and Luo Daxi.

Luo Daxi didn't know whether the bronze medal was true or not, he sat and didn't move, looking at Huang Long there, thinking about how Huang Lao'er was so generous today, he was just strange, such a thought came out of his heart, and he didn't think deeply at all, until Huang Long was furious by him, and thought that Luo Daxi, a black boy, could see his thoughts.

Li Hao bent down to open the wooden box, the things inside were the bronze medals he thought about day and night, at this moment, he already had three in his hand, and one was still one away from making up four bronze medals. Li Hao took a closer look and knew that this bronze medal was real, and immediately took out a soft bag from his backpack and put the bronze medal in it, and said to Huang Long with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, I will accept the things." ”

Watching Li Hao receive the bronze medal he had worked hard to get into his own backpack, Huang Long felt a sense of loss in his heart, just like seeing his child being taken away like this, after all, this is what he has been pursuing for twenty years, and it has suddenly become someone else's thing, and he is still a little unwilling, the so-called reluctant child can't trap the wolf, Huang Long has to temporarily give up the bronze medal for the treasure on the sunken ship.

Huang Long looked at the bronze medal with reluctance in his eyes Li Hao saw in his eyes, even if he was in the old rivers and lakes, no matter how deep the city government was, he couldn't hide his heartache, his eyebrows and feet couldn't stop beating, Li Hao couldn't bear to stimulate Huang Long again, and after putting away the bronze medal, he asked him to arrange someone to take him back to the guest room to rest.

Early the next morning. Li Hao and Luo Daxi were woken up by Huang Long's messenger while they were still in their dreams, and they boarded the ship after breakfast and set off.

The ship they are now on is a converted freighter, about thirty meters away. It is estimated that there are 50,000 tons of tonnage, Li Hao and Luo Daxi have never been on a steamer, and now they are amazed when they see such a large ship, sailing in shallow water as if walking on the ground, and they do not feel shaken at all.

After getting on the boat, Luo Daxi was even more amazed, and he said to Huang Long next to him: "Mr. Huang is really wealthy, don't say anything else." You ships alone, the cost of the island costs a lot of silver every day, right? ”

Huang Long and Li Hao were standing at the bow of the boat at this moment, and the meaning was full of meaning. To go forward, it was the moment of triumph, as if the 100 billion shipwreck was already in his pocket, and he heard Luo Daxi talking beside him. He smiled and said, "I don't have much money. I'm far away from the bustling city, these are just my playthings! ”

Huanglong wants to build such a small kingdom, and there are more than ten or twenty cruise ships and cargo ships and yachts, just like Luo Daxi said, not to mention the money spent on building a small island and purchasing ships at that time, but the daily supply and care of these things, and the labor costs add up to a lot of money every day, and he also spreads his ears and eyes widely. The sea and land are full of spies, and this is a big net. Every day, a large amount of money is required.

But the supply of these money Huanglong, Taobao on the sea is different from land, the competition is small, the risk is low, the only trouble is to step on the point to collect intelligence, and the sunken ships are often large quantities of gold and silver, unconsciously, Huanglong has accumulated a lot of wealth, in terms of the amount of wealth alone, he has already surpassed the old man and Xu Jiufeng, and far away from the mainland, low-key work, do not attract attention, even the government and public security did not care about Huanglong, this guy secretly made a fortune here.

There is also an advantage at sea, the things you get can be sold quickly, there are ships, smuggling is very convenient, direct sales to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, Huanglong's business channels are all over the southeast along the river, as soon as there are good things out of the water, he can immediately sell it into cash, because it is directly sold overseas, so the price is many times higher than the price of antiques on land, so this back and forth Huanglong has become a hidden rich man, living a king-like life alone on this small island in the East China Sea.

The people on the rivers and lakes never know satisfaction, Huanglong is unwilling to be so always floating on the sea, although he said that he lived a fairy-like life on the sea, but the things that caused the separation of the three brothers still made him angry, at that time his strength was the weakest, only to be a couple of parasitic on the sea, for the treasure left by the legendary Guiguzi, he never forgot to return to the land, so he was dedicated to the power on the land.

Now that the whereabouts of the Northern Burial King and the Southern Xinjiang are unknown, the resentment in Huang Long's heart has gradually dissipated, he has been busy for decades for this illusory treasure and has not yet disappeared, this opportunity in front of him can give him the opportunity to earn enough capital to wash his hands, of course, he is unwilling to give up, now standing at the bow of the ship, thinking about the wealth that is about to arrive, and having the fighting spirit of his youth, he can't help urging the ship to move forward at full speed.

After walking for a day, two more ships came to meet them, all the way east, thousands of miles above the blue waves, quite the courage of marching and fighting, the color of the sea has become dark blue, to the deep sea, the ships are like camel caravans walking alone in the desert, there are no water birds, only white clouds accompanied, but unfortunately such good weather did not last long, close to the evening, the sea and the sky between the black clouds rolling, with electric light and thunder pressed over.

Seeing the sudden change in the weather, Huang Long's face, who was originally very happy, also became as gloomy as the weather, and the change in his face was seen by Li Hao and asked, "Mr. Huang, what's wrong with you?" Li Hao saw that Huang Long's face had changed, and at first he thought it was due to the change in the weather, but after thinking about it carefully, why should such a large cargo ship be afraid of this little rainstorm, it shouldn't make Huang Long, who is accustomed to wind and waves, change color for this bit of wind and rain, right?

Huang Long's eyes were blazing, staring at the thick clouds in the distance with a solemn expression, he didn't turn around, continued to stare at the black clouds that pressed over and said: "Something is wrong, how could there be a storm in this sea area suddenly, the forecast didn't say it!" The solemn look on Huang Long's face is indeed because of the sudden change in the weather, he has been sailing at sea for decades, he has seen all kinds of wind and waves, and even once in order to compete for the first opportunity, he also went to sea to salvage on the day of a typhoon, and he really didn't look at the general storm.

So why Huang Long was so nervous this time, one is because before this departure, Huang Long had already learned in detail about the weather conditions in each sea area that their channel was going to pass through, which could be described as calm and calm, why did the voyage suddenly change in the middle of the voyage. There is another thing that Huang Long fears the most in his heart, and the reason is because of a legend.

Legend has it that there is a legend that has been passed down for decades in the sea area where they are sailing, saying that there is a sea dragon who cultivates immortals in this sea area, and every time he succeeds in cultivating and wants to ascend to heaven, it will attract a violent storm, but this sea dragon seems to be not cultivating enough, and every time he rides the clouds to ascend to heaven, it will inevitably attract a shocking thunderstorm, after the lightning and thunder, the sea dragon will be injured and fall back into the sea, but this sea dragon has refused to give up for decades, and often soars into the sky, but it is so often tossed that it suffers from the ships coming and going, and many ships are affected by the weather and sink here.

Because of this reason, people call the weather conditions in this sea area suddenly change as the dragon slashing day, meet the dragon slaying day, the passing ships are going to suffer nine times out of ten, and the sea dragon that does not ascend to the sky will suffer from the thunder together, the ship is not afraid of the wind and waves, the fear is that the thunder and lightning are combined, a few lightning down, the ship's electrical appliances, radio will be damaged, even if it is not overturned by the wind and waves on the spot, it will become a blind fly, drifting on this vast blue sea, there are lucky people will be saved, and bad luck will become a lonely ship that will never return to the port, Over time, these ships will become ghost ships that the crew's tongue has been told.

Now Huanglong's ship is sailing to this sea area, and suddenly black clouds changed the sky, see the black pressure of the clouds flashing and rolling over, let Huanglong remember this legend, before this Huanglong heard this legend are laughed, with his experience in sea navigation, think this is pure nonsense, but now he has seen the originally sunny and windless weather suddenly stormed, and suddenly remembered the legend of this dragon slaying day, although he still does not believe it in his heart now, but still has a premonition that it will not be so good for a while.

Now Li Hao saw Huang Long's solemn face, saying that this storm was strange, but he hadn't heard of this legend of slaying the dragon, it can be seen that the experienced Huang Long's face changed greatly, and he also realized that this was by no means an ordinary storm, and sure enough, Huang Long observed for a while and said to him: "You guys quickly retreat to the cabin, close the hatch, don't come to the deck, this storm is not good!" ”

While talking, the black clouds accumulated like a hill have arrived in front of the ship, the clouds have not yet arrived, the wind and waves rise first, watching the huge ship become like a leaf on the waves six or seven meters high, up and down, suddenly to the top of the wave, not half a second, the freighter to the bottom of the waves, this together is up and down more than ten meters, more exciting and thrilling than riding a roller coaster.

The crew of the ship grabbed the hull part that could fix the body, Huang Long pulled the railing, reached out and took off the two life jackets hanging on the warehouse armor, and did not wear them himself, threw them to Li Hao and Luo Daxi, and shouted to them: "Hurry up and put on it, hold on to the railing and don't move." ”

Luo Daxi, who was still enjoying the lightning and thunder just now, was suddenly thrown up by the ship, and the boat fell down in mid-air, and he smashed heavily on the steel plate, dizzy and dazed before he understood what was going on, he saw that an orange life jacket was still in front of him, and he couldn't care too much, crossed his legs and clamped the railing, and hurriedly put on the life jacket.

Li Hao didn't expect this wind and waves to be so powerful, the cargo ship with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons was bumping up and down like leaves, even if he was skilled, he was unstable on the ship, he had already carried the bronze medal closely, and he could only wear a life jacket and pull the railing in the wind and waves.
