Chapter 348: Cruise Experience (11)
When the 'Leon' sailed to the accident site of the ship on which Chang Qian and the others were sitting, all the personnel of the 'Leon' merchant ship were displayed in front of dozens or hundreds of corpses that were soaked in the sea water, and what made them feel most sad was that these corpses, whether they were men, women, and children, were even naked. Please remember the URL of this site: .
"Captain, this ...... What's going on? Jack, who was standing on the deck of the Pleiades and looking out to sea, asked Captain Smith in disbelief when he had always looked at the terrible scene on the sea.
"It seems that a passenger ship bound for Hong Kong has been attacked by pirates who have been ambushed here for a long time!" When Smith said this, he suddenly felt nervous when he thought of the valuable porcelain, tea, and silk that he had trafficked from China on his ship. He was about to tell Jack to go to the cab and tell the driver to speed up and get out of this dangerous place.
"Captain! Captain! There are still people alive! At this moment, Jack suddenly pointed to a black spot on the surface of the sea that was swimming towards the Pleiades and shouted. After all, Smith's education since childhood made it impossible for him to see death or save him, so he just hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Jack, you quickly take someone to row Pifa to the surface of the sea to see if there are any other people alive!" Jack agreed, and went to organize people to search and rescue.
The first to be rescued was naturally the man who was spotted by Jack swimming towards the Pleiades. This person is Chang Qian. As soon as the 'Lai Pleiades' sailed into this sea area, Chang Qian, who had been using various methods to force himself to stay awake, discovered it. The moment Chang Qian saw the 'Lai Pleiades', he knew that his chance to be rescued had come.
It's a pity that the ship is too far away. You must know that his voice that has been singing all night has long been so dumb that he can't even hear people at close range! At this time, the sea is very windy, and his voice, which is not even the size of a kitten, how can the people on the boat hear it? In desperation, Chang Qian could only do his best to swim in the direction of the 'Lai Pleiades'. He was lucky. was discovered by the sharp-eyed Jack, and Smith, who had a hint of kindness, ordered personnel to search and rescue the accident area.
In the end, only seventeen people were rescued by Jack's people. And there were only three women among the seventeen people, and one of them turned out to be Xiaocui, the maid of Chang Qian's family. All those rescued were bathed by the captain of the 'Pleiades' and put on clothes donated by the sailors on board. After drinking a large bowl of onion and meat soup made by the chef on board, the group felt like they had come to life.
But then the seventeen people thought of their relatives who had been in the sea forever and had no place to be buried, and they couldn't help but feel sad, and they didn't know who took the lead in crying, but when Smith and Jack came to the ship's restaurant, they heard the most sorrowful and miserable cry in the world, and saw the most desperate and sad faces in the world. These two perennial go out to sea and pass through many war-torn countries. is also an Englishman who has seen a lot of tragic things in the world. I think of the terrible scene on the sea. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
"Jack, you arrange a place for these unfortunate Orientals to rest, and I'll go to the cockpit and have a look. It's best to get out of this sea as much as possible! Who knows if those damned pirates are still hiding, waiting to strike at passing ships again! Smith said this to Jack. I secretly scolded 'mother' in my heart, and left the cabin full of grief and despair and went to the cockpit.
As for Xiaocui after being saved, after seeing Chang Qian on the 'Lai Pleiades', her face showed not joy, let alone humility as she often expressed in Chang Mansion, but a strong hatred. I hated that Xiaoju didn't act quickly enough when she took people to Piva at that time, and finally abandoned her on the steamer that was about to sink. She didn't expect that Chang Qian, as the eldest young master of the Chang family, would also be abandoned. The second hated Chang Qianming knew that the ship was sinking, but he only cared about himself and escaped, and he didn't care about her. Xiao Cui also forgot that Chang Qian was just a fourteen-year-old teenager, compared with her, a thirty-year-old adult with rich life experience, who should take care of whom?
Of course, you can't blame Xiaocui's heart at this time, originally before she set off because Chang Baogui used her daughter Xiaoyu as a coercion, she already had resentment in her heart, and now the ship to Hong Kong had an accident again, and last night almost all the women were insulted by those pirates, and the little girls who didn't grow up were spoiled, like Xiaocui, who looks delicate, and has been raised in Chang Mansion for a few years, how can she let those pirates who have been wandering on the sea for many years and have never seen many women let go?
After what happened to Chang Qian last night, he is no longer a young master of the Chang family who does not know the sufferings of the world. He naturally felt the hatred in Xiao Cui's eyes when he looked at him, so he didn't take the initiative to recognize people and say hello, but sat in a corner of the restaurant by himself, silently thinking about his next step.
Chang Qian carefully counted all the valuable things hidden on his body, and a jade pendant on his neck that he wore from childhood to adulthood, the three brothers had it, which must not be lost or sold. In addition, there is a small gold pocket watch given by his father when he celebrated his twelfth birthday, and his mother gave him a gold chain that looked thick and ugly to tie the pocket watch, and he was very unhappy at the time, thinking that his mother was teasing him, because with his mother's demanding aesthetic requirements, how could he send such an old-fashioned gold chain to tie the golden gold pocket watch?
Chang Qian not only stopped complaining at this time, no matter whether she was playing a prank at that time, trying to tease him, or for what kind of idea she insisted on letting him wear such a strangely matched pocket watch on his body, at this time he was very grateful to his mother in his heart. In this way, as soon as he arrives in Hong Kong, as long as he finds a place to be the gold chain, his life will be worry-free for the time being. As for why he knew that the cargo ship was going to Hong Kong, as soon as he was rescued, he asked very clearly. Now the only hope in his heart is that Xiao Ju will also be rescued with his mother and two younger brothers and Xiao Ju's own family, and arrive in Hong Kong safely, as long as everyone is in Hong Kong, there will be a day when they will get together.
Chang Qian was rescued, with the 'Lai Pleiades' arrived safely in the evening at a port in Hong Kong dedicated to unloading, at this time Chang Qian because of the early arrival, did not know the location and name of this port, until he stayed in Hong Kong for a period of time, at the same time, in order to find Yang Liu and Xiao Ju them, often from time to time to Hong Kong docked passenger ships and cargo ships in various ports to inquire about the news, to see if you can be lucky to meet the person who knows Xiao Ju's news, only to know that he followed' The place where the Pleiades arrived was called Victoria Harbour, which is currently used by Hong Kong to stop cargo and passenger ships.
Xiao Ju and they didn't have Chang Qian's good luck, at this time, the six people were half lying in Piva, and they were weak to look at the blue sky without a trace of impurities through the gap in the sheets on the roof of the shed. It's a pity that at this time, everyone in Piva looked at the blue sky with a resentful face, and they hoped that now there were dark clouds and heavy rain in the sky, and it was better than being exposed to the sun every day, because their overall image at this time was like a fish that was about to be dried.
"Sister Xiaoju, we've been floating at sea for two days, right? Why haven't you touched a passing ship yet? Chang You looked at Xiao Ju with a resentful face and asked.
"Ah yes, you ask me, I'm the same as you, and I don't know! Anyway, we still have food and drink, so let's keep drifting! Until rescued! Xiao Ju looked at the sunburned skin of everyone on Piva, and after saying such a sentence, she continued to cover her head and face under a piece of clothing and closed her eyes to recuperate. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I had a small space to store things, otherwise this time it would have been really over. And she won't hide in Piva so calmly and close her eyes to recuperate!
"Two days? I don't think so, but the day I went to find the shipwreck was already the third day! Chang Gong wailed that he felt that he would collapse if he could not touch the passing ship again. After watching the boundless sea for three days in a row, his hope of being rescued became more and more slim. And self-help is not even to think about it, if it is on land, there are thousands of ways to save themselves, but in this endless sea, how can they save themselves?
The two brothers of the Chang family sighed for a long time, but Yang Liu's expression in the past two days was surprisingly calm, at this time, she had long lost the color of Xiaoju when she first saw her, and the delicate skin on her face had already become red and black under the blowing of the sea breeze under the exposure of the sun, and at the same time there was a very strict peeling. Laughing is like an orange that has lost its moisture, dry and wrinkled. I believe that if Chang Baogui sees it, a heart does not know what kind of Cheng dรน to repent.
"Sister Liu, do you think we can be saved?" Yang Liu looked at Xiao Juniang, who could skillfully hold the fish with only one hand. Yes, the use of Xiao Ju's superhuman martial arts is to dive into the sea every day to catch fish. This is also the only way for her to vent her frustration every day. As for the fish caught, it was natural to take advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep, and boiled into a pot of fish soup in a small space, so that everyone could drink it to replenish their bodies. Otherwise, how could the two brothers of the Chang family still have such a great spirit shouting there? I was already dying, crawling in the piva, and I didn't even bother to speak.
"Surely you will be saved! My Xiaoju has always been very well arranged, as long as she is there, I will be sure! Don't worry at all! Anyway, now that there is food and drink, I can't care about the rest, as long as I am happy, so that Xiaoju's heart is not so uncomfortable, just wait for her arrangement! Xiao Ju Niang said happily. In her heart, as long as there is food and drink, whether it is at sea or on land, there is no difference.
Yang Liu couldn't help but feel very ashamed when she heard Xiao Ju Niang say this, Xiao Ju was only a fourteen-year-old girl, but everyone put all the pressure on Xiao Ju's body, ignoring that she was just a little girl. As an aunt, she not only can't share her worries, but also complains in her heart from time to time that she is not well arranged, and she should not leave Chang Qian to increase pressure on her.
