Almost all of the life of the warship bird is flying on the sea.

The fleet led by the "East China Sea Fishery" moves forward on the surface of the South China Sea, attracting many warship birds to dock around the mast every day, but Yang Qiwa is not in the mood to watch them.

When the flotilla reached Polo in the charts, it did not receive much food except for some fresh water.

Because the island of Puluozhong, except for some wild people, is almost a desert island.

Although the prince said that the geographical location here was very important, guarding the passage of sea ships from Persia and Tianzhu into the South Seas, it did not change the barren scene in Puluo.

Originally, according to the meaning of Captain Zhu Erfu, it was almost time to consider returning home, because the purpose of this trip was basically achieved.

However, Wei Chihuan and Fang Yiai both wanted to take this opportunity to find the spice island in the mouth of the prince, and insisted on exploring west for a while before returning.

Now, it has been a month since the fleet left Puluozhong.

However, after passing through an island, the fleet actually got lost.

It stands to reason that with the compass given by Sinan and the prince, you shouldn't get lost, but I don't know why, in this sea area, these things don't work.

After more than ten days of walking around the neighborhood like this, even the ordinary crew members felt that something was wrong.

Yang Qiwa stood on the mast every day, holding a telescope and looking at the surrounding situation to see if she could help.

"Lang Jun, whether it's Sinan or the compass, I can't believe it anymore, this sea area is very strange, we have to find another way to get out of here, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Zhu Erfu stood in front of Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai with a sad face.

Nowadays, there is not much food on the ship, and if you can't catch some fish every day to replenish it, it is estimated that you will run out of food.

However, without a special net, it is impossible to completely solve the problem of food on board if you just fish.

The most important thing is that if this continues, and the fresh water runs out, then it will ......

"The prince said that the sea area of the South China Sea is the most complicated, countless times more complicated than the East China Sea, I still don't pay enough attention to it, it's all my fault!"

Wei Chihuan blamed himself a little, feeling that it was because of himself that the fleet was in crisis.

"Lang Jun, the situation at sea is ever-changing, and no one can predict this kind of thing, no one can blame it. It is imperative that we first lock in one direction, keep walking in this direction, and get out of this sea area. When the compass returns to normal, we will naturally have a way to get back to the fairway. ”

"Erfu, you have the most experience in sailing, and then we will listen to you, how you say, how to go, we will go."

Yu Chihuan didn't dare to hold it up again.

To be honest, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was a little panicked when he saw the ships wandering around the nearby waters for several days, and they seemed to be circling in circles.

This situation is very weird, a bit beyond my understanding.

"Good! Then we don't care what the compass says, just look at the sun in the sky, and keep moving in the direction of the rising sun. ”

At this moment, it was not the time to be polite, Zhu Erfu immediately began to command the fleet to turn.

However, there is an old saying that the house leak is rained overnight.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff their teeth.

The fleet had only been gone for two days, and Zhu Erfu's face changed.

"Erfu, what's wrong? Could it be that you are wrong again? ”

Wei Chihuan has been studying humbly next to Zhu Erfu for the past two days, and naturally he quickly noticed that Zhu Erfu's state didn't seem right.

"Lang Jun, our big trouble is coming!"

Zhu Erfu's face turned pale, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

"What's the big trouble?"

"Hurricanes! We're going to run into a hurricane! ”

Zhu Erfu felt despair for the first time.

Walking on the sea and getting lost is a scary thing, but when you encounter a hurricane, it's a scary thing.

Usually, few ships that went to sea were able to come back after a hurricane.

Although the clippers of the East China Sea fishery are very suitable for navigation, they are also relatively large and can resist large winds and waves.

However, in the face of hurricanes, they are still as vulnerable as newborn babies.

"A hurricane is coming?"

Wei Chihuan listened to Zhu Erfu's words, and his face changed.

In the past few years, it has not been a single hurricane in Dengzhou and Waguo.

However, the East China Sea fishery is in good luck.

Either when the hurricane came, the fleet was still in Dengzhou and did not depart.

Either that, or they've already arrived in the Wa Kingdom.

Occasionally, once or twice when I was at sea, I encountered a big storm, and I survived it without danger.

Now, Zhu Erfu said that the hurricane is coming!

That's really the trouble.

Could it be that the good fortune of the fishing industry in the East China Sea has been used up?

"Brother Wei Chi, Captain Zhu, the wind and waves on the sea seem to have indeed gotten bigger."

Everyone didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that they look closely, Fang Yiai finds that the wind and waves are constantly getting bigger.

"It is ordered that the foresails and aft sails of all ships are lowered, the mainsails are lowered halfway, and all movable items on deck are to be removed or secured."

Zhu Erfu took a deep breath and began the emergency command.

There is no escape, and looking at this sky, it will not take a few hours for a hurricane to come.

So Zhu Erfu simply prepared for the hurricane.

In this way, maybe everyone will have a better chance of surviving.

"Captain Zhu, if you lower the sails, aren't you going more slowly?"

Fang Yiai was a little incomprehensible, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Lang Jun, you're right, the sail has come down, and now it's going slower. However, as the wind gets stronger and stronger, if the sails are not lowered, the hurricane will blow the sails or masts out; Even if our sails and masts are strong enough, a hurricane will blow our ship down, and a single wind and wave will sink the ship. ”

Zhu Erfu is the captain of the ship, and he only needs to give orders, and he does not need to operate it personally.

Therefore, there is still time to give a brief explanation to Fang Yiai.

Besides, in the fleet, after all, Wei Chihuan and Fang Yiai have the highest status, in case the two of them can't understand their orders, it will also be a hidden danger.

I don't know when these two Lang Jun will jump out and oppose it.

Yu Chihuan: "Beloved, if there is any problem, let's leave it until after the hurricane and ask." ”

Listening to Wei Chihuan's words, Zhu Erfu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that at least I don't have to worry about my opinions not being implemented.

The waves are getting higher and higher, and from time to time there are splashes on the deck.

The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, blowing the canvas whirring.

After urgently reinforcing the mast and guardrails, fixing the things on the deck, and pulling some cables on the deck, Zhu Erfu let all the irrelevant personnel enter the cabin, leaving only a minimum number of people on the deck to control the ship.

The dark clouds blew through, and the sky slowly turned dark!

Cracking sound!

The bean-sized raindrops began to fall on Zhu Erfu's face, on the deck, and on the sea.

A storm is coming!

……

Hurricanes are cold! It doesn't have the warmth of a spring breeze, nor the freshness of an autumn breeze.

It is like the waves of the Yellow River, like a lion roaring in the waves.

Zhu Erfu tied a cable around his waist and stood next to the helmsman, directing the ship to adjust its orientation at any time.

Dark clouds, thunder, and downpour.

The surroundings of the ship were white, and Zhu Erfu couldn't even see the shadows of the other two ships nearby.

At this time, you can only do your best and settle the destiny.

Zhu Erfu silently prayed for the two boats.

In the evening, the rain is heavier and the wind is more intense.

Zhu Erfu simply nibbled a few bites of whale jerky, and then continued to stay on the deck wet.

And in the cabin, everyone's mood is also very depressed.

Although there are whale oil candles in the cabin, no one dares to start a fire in this weather.

Yang Qiwa was lying on the small wooden bed, rolling around and unable to sleep.

The sound of the waves crashing was clearly transmitted to her ears, even if she was grasping the edge of the bed with one hand, Yang Qiwa felt that she would be thrown under the bed at any time.

What's even more desperate is that Yang Qiwa can still feel the "East China Sea Fishery" she is in from time to time soaring into the air and then falling on the surface of the sea.

How big a storm does this have to be to toss a sea ship more than ten feet long like this?

No one spoke in the cabin, but the heavy breathing of the crew was clearly visible.

Obviously, it's not just Yang Qiwa who can't sleep.

Everyone is begging for a living at sea, and it is not a day or two.

To be honest, many people are also mentally prepared for the worst.

However, when this moment comes, there are not many people who can really face it calmly.

"Everyone help each other out, and those who want to sleep fix themselves in bed."

Wei Chihuan walked around the cabin, thinking that it was better to let everyone sleep as much as possible.

Anyway, in this case, there is nowhere to escape.

If you don't take any measures, even if you fall asleep, it is likely that the ship will be injured due to the tumbling of the ship, so proper fixation is necessary.

Of course, it is not really to tie people up like tying up prisoners, but to make appropriate restrictions to avoid being thrown out of bed after falling asleep.

"Brother Wei Chi, you can also go sleep for a while, I will keep watch for the first half of the night, and you will keep watch for the second half of the night."

Fang Yiai followed behind Wei Chihuan, but he was calmer than ordinary people.

A lack of brain ties is not always a bad thing.

In fact, don't think so much at this time, in fact, the best way to deal with it is actually the best way to cope.

Because, no matter how much you think, it's useless.

On the contrary, if some people's psychological quality is too poor and they think too much, they are prone to accidents.

"You go to sleep first, you have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow during the day you go to the deck to replace Captain Zhu."

A huge wave hit, and Wei Chihuan stumbled, almost falling to the ground in the darkness.

On the deck, Zhu Erfu and the helmsman worked together to lower the mainsail by half again.

The wind was so strong that even half a sail could not stand it.

However, it is not possible to completely leave the sails unraised, otherwise the ship will be completely out of control.

How to grasp the degree of this is really a difficult problem.

Fortunately, Zhu Erfu is also experienced, and he has made the correct response several times when the ship is overtilted.

"Lao Zhu, you go and rest for a while, I'll change you."

With the light of lightning, Yu Chihuan also came to Zhu Erfu with a cable tied around his waist.

From the evening to the present, Zhu Erfu basically didn't eat much, and was in a high level of tension all the time.

Even if it's an iron man, you can't stand it.

Wei Chihuan didn't want him to collapse on the first night.

Judging from the situation of this hurricane, it should be an unprecedented storm, and it will not be able to pass for a while.

"Hold on to the mast, if the wind continues to get stronger, the mainsail will have to be lowered again!"

"What? Inaudible! ”

Zhu Erfu shouted loudly with all his might, but in the hurricane of "woo", Yu Chihuan didn't hear anything.

"Hold on to the mast, and if the wind continues to get stronger, the mainsail will have to be lowered again."

Zhu Erfu held the mast with one hand and put his arm around Yu Chihuan's shoulder with the other, and shouted loudly in Yu Chihuan's ear.

Wei Chihuan followed Li Kuan's example, stretched out his right hand, and made an "OK" gesture.

"Boom!"

"Smack!"

Yu Chihuan had never felt that the thunder and lightning were so close to him.

In the past, he didn't feel much about the word dark clouds crushing the city, but now he sees that the entire bow of the ship is shrouded in dark clouds, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night, and the feeling of "crushing the city" can be said to be stronger than ever.

The only thing I am glad for is that in the occasional light, I can still see the two ships on the left and right floating in the same direction as me.

I hope you all survive this hurricane.

In the second half of the night, the rain seemed to be heavier.

I couldn't see the scene of the raindrops falling clearly, because Yu Chihuan felt that it was not raining in the sky at all, but pouring water.

This kind of violent precipitation is also the first time that Wei Chihuan has encountered it in his life.

It doesn't matter if it's a coat or a hat.

At times like these, it's useless.

On the contrary, it may be a burden.

In order to facilitate the flexible operation of his hands and feet, Wei Chihuan wore a pair of shorts, hugged the mast, and monitored the sea situation with several crew members at any time.

Every time a wave rushes by, there is a splash on the deck.

Wei Chihuan even saw hapless fish and shrimp washed up on deck several times.

The night was long and hard.

It should be dawn, and thunder and lightning are no longer so frequent.

However, the rain did not decrease at all, and the wind did not decrease at all.

The Tokai Fishery is like a leaf, drifting in the wind on the surface of the sea.

I don't know how long such days have passed, maybe it's a day and a night, maybe it's a day or two nights.

In short, by the time the wind began to weaken and the sun shone on the deck again, whether it was Wei Chi, Fang Yiai, or Zhu Erfu, they were all exhausted and slumped on the deck.

Finally picked up a life.

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but grin.

In the past two days, the ship has been in a dangerous situation several times.

One of them was lifted by the wind and waves, and when it fell into the water again, the entire bow of the ship was submerged in the sea.

If it weren't for the hollow bow of the clipper in the design, the ship might have been wrecked that one time.

Several people rechecked the situation in the surrounding waters, and although the other two boats were a little far away, they could still be seen floating safely on the water.

What a blessing!

"Lang Jun, captain, the fresh water and food on the ship are almost gone, especially the fresh water, which can only last for two more days at most."

Just when a few people were secretly rejoicing, a voice pulled everyone back to reality again.

Fresh water is gone, food is gone.

The two things they were most afraid of going to sea were on their hands at the same time.
