Chapter 318: Reef Shipwreck

Without waiting for the old sailor to answer, a series of piercing sounds came, Wei Qing felt as if a series of big bells were ringing in his head, and the whole head would explode, he covered his head and pulled open the door and rushed to the deck, the deck was terrified, and everyone covered their heads in extreme pain.

"It's the Kraken, it's the Siren's song!" The old sailor had fallen on the deck, holding his head in his hands, and cried out with all his might: "Almost all who have heard this song are dead, I am one of the three survivors, oh my God, we are finished!" ”

Wei Qing was shocked, he also knew this legend, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" said: "Two hundred miles northeast, said Longhou Shandong, no grass and trees, more gold and jade, the water of the decision is out of the Yan, and the east flow into the river, among which there are many mermaids, its shape is like a fish, four-legged, its sound is like a baby, and there is no dementia in eating!" Guo Yapu's note: "Or say, the mermaid is the salamander, like a catfish and four-legged, and the sound is like a child's cry!" ”

There is also a record in the "Taiping Guangji": "The mermaid of the sea, there are in the East China Sea, the big one is five or six feet long, the shape is like a person, the eyebrows, mouth and nose, hands and claws, and the head are all beautiful women, all of them are full, the skin and flesh are as white as jade, there are no scales, there are fine hairs, the five colors are light and soft, one or two inches long, the hair is like a horsetail, five or six feet long, the yin shape is no different from the husband and woman, the widow and widow near the sea are obtained, raised in the pond and marsh, and when they are intertwined, they are no different from people, and they do not hurt people!" ”

But more often than not, it is said that the Siren is shaped like a beautiful woman, and its singing voice is so charming that sailors will lose their minds when they hear it on the sea.

But today this voice is not a glamorous sound, but a harsh noise, it seems that the legend does have his prototype, but it may not be a true reflection of the real situation, at least no one said that there will be a kraken in this big lake.

The piercing sound continued to ring, and many people could not stand it any longer, and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, and some even hit their heads against the side and deck of the ship, and a sailor suddenly screamed loudly and grabbed a knife, and slashed it at his throat, blood gushed out, and the sailor quickly lost his breath.

Wei Qing was also in pain, he covered his ears with his hands, but the sound seemed to be very penetrating, his hands couldn't stop it at all, no matter how tightly he covered it, it was useless, and the sound still echoed in his brain unaffected.

There was a moment of chaos on board, the boat was left unattended, and the boat lost control and drifted with the tide on the lake.

Just when Wei Qing thought that he was about to explode his head and die, his voice suddenly stopped.

After a while, the people on the deck stood up one after another, their expressions full of pain, horror and helplessness, no matter how strong the visible enemy is, after all, they can see it, at least they know where the danger is, and now this voice comes from nowhere, they don't know when it will appear, they don't know how to resist, this is the real horror.

Some comforted each other, others looked around to find out where the Kraken was, and a sailor wept beside the dead sailor.

Someone in the bow of the ship suddenly shouted: "Quick, turn the rudder!" ”

The people who had just relaxed looked out, and Wei Qing also rushed to the side of the boat to see, and in front of him, a large reef was less than fifty meters away from the boat.

"Turn the rudder!" Wei Qing and Ma Chao roared almost at the same time, and several sailors pounced on the stern at the same time, desperately turning the rudder, but at such a close distance, it was too late to turn again.

The rudder had turned to the limit, but the direction of the bow had not shifted, and many sailors frantically pulled the sail ropes, hoping to speed up the ship with the help of the wind, but the big reef seemed to be in the direction of the bow, not just a small piece of the water, but a long reef, and the ship would crash unless it could turn sideways on the spot.

The sailor in charge of the observation at the bow of the ship screamed loudly as the ship got closer and closer to the reef.

Wei Qing stayed there, did the boat have a lifeboat, did they want to row the lifeboat back to the east coast, lifeboat, a thought slipped through Wei Qing's mind, and he thought of an idea.

He pulled over a sailor who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the lifeboat!" The sailor looked at Wei Qing, but he didn't say a word, Wei Qing raised his hand angrily and was about to whip him, and a sailor next to him grabbed Wei Qing's hand: "He's deaf, he can't hear, the lifeboat is in the stern!" ”

Wei Qing was angry, he never thought that there were deaf people among the sailors, and he shouted at the sailor who was holding his hand: "Find a few people, throw the lifeboat down on the bow of the boat, and let him block between the boat and the reef!" The sailor screamed excitedly and immediately beckoned the other sailors to carry the lifeboat.

Sailors and soldiers, dozens of pairs of hands lifted the small lifeboat up at once, shouting the trumpet straight to the bow of the boat: "Plop! The waves splashed, and when the boat was less than two feet from the reef, the lifeboat finally managed to throw it down.

Bang! There was a violent impact, everyone fell to the deck, and the ship stopped at once, then slowly retreated, and then moved forward again, a few shocks, and began to slowly move sideways.

Wei Qing and Ma Chao pounced on the bow of the boat at the same time, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, the lifeboat was squeezed by the big boat and the reef, and it had been shattered, but the bow of the big ship was fine.

Ma Chao looked at Wei Qing and shouted excitedly: "General Wei, you are really a god!" Before Wei Qing could answer, several sailors had already pounced on him and lifted him high: "Long live General Wei!" ”

The boat shook suddenly, Wei Qing was almost thrown into the sea by the people holding him below, and people hurriedly put him down, it turned out that the hull of the boat was horizontal, just facing a stream of water on the side, and the current hit the side of the ship, and the boat was pushed sharply.

"Haha!" "Hahaha!" The sailors laughed happily, yes! I was just half killed by the song of the Siren, and then I almost hit the reef, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, if it wasn't for Wei Qing, they would have been in the lake now.

"Phew!" There was another violent impact, this time not the bow of the ship, but the side of the ship, and the current pushed the boat sideways, and the exposed parts of the reef were avoided, but there were other parts that were underwater, so close to the surface that there seemed to be nothing on the lake, but in fact the reefs were extensions of the reefs that were exposed to the lake.

The ship slammed and almost completely stopped, there was silence on the deck at first, followed by several sailors rushing to the bottom compartment to check the situation, and in a blink of an eye, several sailors rushed to appear, and everyone's faces were full of desperate expressions: "The side side has been broken, the breach is too big to be blocked!" ”

This time it was really happy and sad, now there is no lifeboat, can only wait for death, Wei Qing and Ma Chao rushed to the bottom warehouse, the sound of the water is loud, and a big hole that is seven feet long and three feet wide is gushing into the boat.

Wei Qing and Ma Chao's expressions were also desperate.

Wei Qing bit his lip and returned to the deck, the news had spread throughout the deck, the sailors were full of despair, several sailors couldn't help but look at Wei Qing, just now he thought of an idea to save them, can he replicate the miracle now.

Wei Qing understood the meaning in their eyes, but he only smiled bitterly, the boat was gradually sinking, he couldn't do anything, he was not a god, not to mention this kind of kung fu on the water, where would he, if he was on land, there might be some way, land ,,, Wei Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted to the crowd: "All those who can dive stand up, hurry!" ”

Not only did all the sailors stand up, but dozens of the five hundred soldiers also stood up, adding up to a hundred.

Wei Qing ordered loudly: "Half of those who can't dive go to the bilge to drain water, half of them will carry all the heavy things on the boat, and those who can dive will work in groups of ten to stuff all the heavy things on the boat to the bottom of the boat, since the boat has hit the reef and cracked, there must be a place on the reef below, as long as these things are cushioned on the reef, the boat can be supported!" ”

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, and even Ma Chao raised his hands and cheered loudly.

The hundred people who could dive quickly divided into groups of ten and began to dive in turns, stuffing various things into the bottom of the boat.

The ship continues to sink.

"Don't give up, keep going!" Wei Qing cheered everyone up.

Finally, the boat stopped sinking with a clattering sound, but the lake had already flooded the deck.

"Go on!" Wei Qing felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

The lake was up to the calves.

"Go on!" Wei Qing ignored the sea water, he knew that today's life and death were at stake, he stood firmly on his feet and did not move, for fear that he would shake the heart of the army if he moved a little.

The boat shook suddenly, and since it no longer sank, the lake could no longer rise, and as the drainage progressed, the boat began to rise slowly, and after a while, the lake began to gradually decline.

The soldiers, who had been standing on the deck and did not dare to come out, cheered again.

"Go to all the warehouses, remove everything that can be dismantled, and prepare to repair the ship!" Ma Chao roared, and the soldiers agreed with a loud sound, and immediately took action.

Wei Qing was not so optimistic, he clearly saw that a few divers were already sweating, and if they continued to die, they were afraid that some people would vomit blood and die.

"Five people from each group will step down, and wait for me to order a shift change!" Wei Qing ordered.

Fifty divers collapsed on deck almost as soon as they stepped back, all gasping for air.

Wei Qing began to count in his heart, and when he counted to one hundred and twenty, he shouted: "Change shifts!" ”

Fifty men struggled to get up and replace their companions.

Count again, to two hundred and forty: "Shift change!" ”

"Shift change!" "Shift change!" "Shift change!"

The faces of the divers were all green when they were tired, but no one complained, no one hesitated when Wei Qing ordered the shift change again and again, they all knew very well in their hearts that at this time, any dissatisfaction and violation of the order would give the lives of the whole ship, including themselves, to the water god.

The boat was slowly rising, the water from the calf to the foot, then to the level of the deck, and then down to the bottom of the cabin, the horse gave a loud order, and the draining soldiers went crazy and drained the water with everything they could use.

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
