1798. God heard
On the battleship Missouri, several fishermen sat on the deck or on the side of the ship in despair, the wheelhouse was empty, the rudder was turning weakly, and no one could control the direction of the ship, because everyone on board knew that the ship's terminal was hell......
The stormy waves crashed against this thousand-ton fishing boat, and the huge hull seemed to be a baby cradle, but the arm that rocked the cradle was not gentle, but the power was terrifying, as if it was going to overturn the ship in one go!
"Oh, my lord!" A bearded middle-aged man knelt on the bow of the boat and grasped the cross around his neck**, "Heavenly Father, we humbly ask you to lead us through the dark ways of the world, to keep us from evil, to hold us up, to strengthen us, so that we will not be weary on the way, and guide us on the path you have chosen, through the time, space and death of this world, to the eternal home of the kingdom of heaven, we ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ......"
"Old John, don't fucking pray, this is Satan's territory, we are in Satan's backyard, God can't hear us!" A bald young man roared in sorrow.
Someone staggered over, tore open pieces of paper and stuffed them into these people's arms, they knew what it was for, this was written in a suicide note, and after writing, it was stuffed into a sealed bucket, which became their last chance to communicate with their families.
It's a pity that the wind and rain are sharp at this time, and the paper is soaked as soon as it is taken out, but no one cares, as long as you can leave handwriting on it, scribble.
Someone didn't want to do this, so old John grabbed the cross and jumped up, and shouted hoarsely: "We don't deserve to die, we haven't done anything evil!" My God. We are all honest fishermen, why are we facing such a fate? I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled. I have three more children! β
"This is reality, let's face it!" A man slumped on the deck muttered. "I hope Gabrielle can find a good family in the future, but unfortunately I can't attend Mike's graduation ceremony......"
"No, don't talk nonsense, we're not going to die! God will come and save us, God will ...... Fack! Old John snarled with his fists, his eyes swept blankly towards the sea, and suddenly his words were interrupted by a wide eye.
No one cared about his reaction, and they began to prepare to write a suicide note, which Old John didn't care. He rubbed his eyes as hard as he could, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and his heart beat like a gasoline pump.
"Look, look! Fake, tell me, it's an illusion! Old John glared and roared.
The others have become the walking dead, they understand their situation and do not take chances, so even if old John yells. Still no one bothered him.
So old John was furious, he grabbed the bald young man beside him, forcibly lifted him up, pointed to the sea and shouted, "Look! God has come to save us. Tell me, tell me, it's a miracle of God, isn't it?! I'm not the only one who sees it, am I?! β
The young man swept out to sea in a daze. His eyes widened, and he pushed old John away. He staggered to the side of the ship and tried to look forward, howling as he looked, "get up." Look, a small island ......"
"It's impossible!" Someone shouted in despair, "I confirmed just now that we still have one hundred and fifty nautical miles to the nearest island......
The sperm whale led the big brother to float slowly, and the whale saddle was exposed on the water. The angry waves are rolling, the sea wind is howling, the heavens and the earth seem to be the end of the world, and the whale saddle is like Noah's Ark, floating firmly and stubbornly on the water.
Alerted by the roars of old John and the young man, the others stood up and looked ahead, and then their eyes widened, and the heavy rain caused the sea to be less visible, but they still recognized the sperm whale and its saddle.
The sperm whales drifted with the current, their saddles firmly above the water, as if waiting for them to land.
"It's not real, it's an illusion!" Someone rubbed his eyes vigorously, "It's an illusion!" β
Old John raised the cross in his hand and shouted, "No, it's not a hallucination, we all saw it, it's a whale with a wooden saddle!" It's a miracle, God heard my prayers, haha! Ha ha! We are saved! β
"Thisβthis is really a miracle! But how is this possible? How could a sperm whale with a wooden saddle suddenly appear on the sea?! This is ridiculous! β
"No, it's not ridiculous, I've seen this sperm whale - damn it, don't look at me like that, I'm not lying! This sperm whale is really famous, I have seen the news on the Internet, someone has domesticated this sperm whale, St. John's has held an event, this sperm whale has appeared with a wooden saddle! β
"We are saved?!"
"Fuck it, get in the water, it's the only chance! The ship is sinking! We jump into the water and God does the rest! β
The sperm whale gradually approached, the trace of the whale saddle became clearer and clearer, and the people on the boat were at first incredulous, but when they were sure that the sperm whale was approaching them, they suddenly became ecstatic, and then the group roared with joy and jumped into the water.
Not only did the bottom of the ship leak, but as the hull lowered, the waves swept up by the strong wind slapped the hull of the ship, pouring more seawater in, causing the ship to sink faster and faster.
The fishermen were good swimmers, and despite the continuous waves, they quickly approached the sperm whale and climbed onto the whale's back with a wooden saddle.
The saddle was wide enough for the fishermen to have six of them, and when they climbed up, there was still a lot of room for the boss, and it would be no problem to accommodate ten more people.
The fishermen were in the highest position in the center of the saddle, these people snuggled closely, although they escaped the wreck, but that didn't mean they survived, the real test was ahead!
Regardless of the sea breeze or waves, the temperature is very low, and the heat in the body of the six people is constantly dissipated, and in an hour at most, they will go into shock due to excessive energy loss, and eventually die!
So many people died in the Titanic disaster, very few people really died in the first place, and the vast majority of them froze to death.
Qin Shiou worked hard to control the sperm whale floating on the surface of the sea, the cold wind was a little softer than the seawater, and soaking in the sea water was the fastest way for the human body to lose heat.
A large amount of Poseidon energy poured into the body of the leading brother, and then it was at full power, swinging its tail and swimming in the direction of the fishing ground.
God may have really heard Old John's prayers, and the miracle was not the appearance of the sperm whale, but the fact that about half an hour after they got on the sperm whale, a rescue helicopter appeared above them. (To be continued.) )
