I grew up in Yokohama, and I would say that I am used to seeing the sea, even tsunamis. I remember that a few years ago, the Utsunomiya tsunami affected the entire east coast, and the huge waves were like mountains and high walls pressing down on the city!

I remember almost in an instant, a few wooden houses on the shoreline disappeared! A few cars on the seaside road were swept away by the waves, as if they had been snatched away by giant hands, and disappeared in a flash! The houses along the coast, including the Steel Sakura Bar, had their windows nailed to their windows with heavy boards, because the soft plastic plates didn't work at all, and I happened to be drinking there that time, and at Mr. Okamoto's request, I helped them nail the boards to the windows, and stayed overnight. Alas, I don't know if they would be sad to know that I was dead, especially Minako......

Yes, the tsunami was terrible, but I was on land at that time, and even if it was bad, I could hide in a solid house away from the shoreline. Can today! I have encountered this terrible situation on the sea, helpless and resigned to fate!

Lan, Nine Ghosts, Zhengxiao, Chen Kui, and Kite didn't dare to leave the command room for a moment! Mo and Shu watched the movement below the deck inch by inch. The rudder has been handed over to Chen Kui, because he is the best at this situation! Although Arashi learned to sail since childhood, he was too young to be inexperienced. The sails have long been removed, otherwise a wave will come and the ship will surely capsize! The auxiliary masts that could be removed were all retracted, and what we did was to reduce our cross-section as much as possible, so that the whole boat could be more "clean" to meet the wind and waves!

A huge wave has hit again! Just like a truck crashing into it, the whole boat was lifted on a huge sideways! It feels like the ship is about to flip into the sea from the left, and the mast has already touched the surface! As soon as the waves passed, the ship was like a spring, and under the effect of the counterweight of the cargo in the cabin, it was back again!

If we don't know it, every big wave could sweep us to the bottom of the sea! And we're struggling to survive! I really feel that all this is like God is playing a joke on us, tossing and turning to death or alive, but always leaving you a breath!

I clung to the pillar, staring at the darkness in front of me without blinking, and for some reason, I suddenly felt like I wanted to laugh out loud, so I laughed! Chen Kui held the rudder of the ship, and when he heard me laugh, he actually laughed too! The other three people next to him were a little strange, and they could still laugh in such a crisis, this is ...... What's going on?

After a while, another big wave hit the command room, choking me with a big mouthful of water, and several other people estimated that it was about the same, spit out the seawater in their mouths, and Chen Kui and I laughed again! This time, the other three were also infected and started laughing along with us!

I could feel that, along with the laughter, I seem, I mean, seem less scared! But the body was still trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of fear! At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the deck, and someone was shouting: "Someone has fallen into the sea!"

I hurriedly held on to the wall and ran out of the door, but I just saw two figures, "plopping" twice and jumping into the sea to save people! I felt an irrepressible feeling in my heart! I heard the boatswain Luo Gao shouting: "Throw the pontoon!" Throw the pontoon with the tether on it! "I saw two sailors braving the huge waves, pulling down the pontoon from the side of the hatch, grasping the door frame with one hand, and throwing the pontoon in the direction of the person who fell into the sea with the greatest strength with the other!

I looked fixedly, and saw that there was nothing around the board! All three seem to have been swept to the bottom of the sea! I couldn't bear it, but I didn't feel like I should give up hope like this! So he still stood at the door, looking at the boundless deep sea, the incomparably small but incomparably important floating board!

Suddenly, two hands suddenly appeared on the edge of the floating board! One is left-handed! One is right-handed! The two hands are very far apart, and they are not alone! I looked at them in surprise, it was two people who jumped down to save people, one of them stretched out one hand to the floating board, and they all showed their heads! Then the other hand of the two of them tugged hard underwater! Suddenly, the first person to fall into the water was exposed! The two of them used another force to throw the unconscious wounded onto the floating board, so that the two of them really had their hands free and grabbed the floating board!

At this moment, another huge wave hit, and I only felt a huge force hitting my body, and my body involuntarily flew forward! And the hull of the ship also slopes along the waves! I almost can't catch it! At that moment, two hands grabbed my wrists! When I looked back, it was nine ghosts and kites! They were grabbing at the door frame and clutching at my wrists! I finally recovered myself from the bite of the waves, and with the force of their hands, I rushed towards the command room, and suddenly the huge force of inertia threw me into the command room! The nine ghosts borrowed the trap to get to the door, and I was unstable on my feet, and with the kite, I rolled on the ground!

Lan, who helped Chen Kui hold the rudder, saw this, and saw that the waves were a little smaller, so he stumbled over and helped the two of us up. As soon as she stretched out her hand, I took advantage of the situation to stand up and pull up the kite again! Finally standing firm, I sighed in my heart, but I didn't notice it in a hurry, and the hands of the three were still tightly clasped together......

At this moment, Chen Kui suddenly shouted: "The land in front!" There's a little island there! We should be there to land! I've been here for the waters! There are very few reefs! ”

Hearing this, I broke away from the two of them and ran over. Sure enough, there's a small island ahead! It won't be too big to see the whole picture in the wind and rain, but it's enough for a ship like ours to dock! So Arashi still went over to help hold the rudder, and the Nine Demons Masataka ran out to inform the deck, and our ship began to slowly approach the island!

The feared reef never appeared, and our boat finally slowly approached the shore! Anchor! A couple of sailors jumped to the shore and tied the cable tightly to the trunk of the tree on the shore!

It's finally safe! In such a situation, no matter how windy and rainy it is, as long as this island does not fly and this tree does not disappear, we will be fine! And the provisions, enough for those of us to eat for another month! The three people who fell into the water also returned to the boat, and the first person who fell into the water was also rescued.

I can finally relax and rest. I told Arashi to arrange for someone to be on duty, have the carpenter check the boat, take turns resting, and then went back to my private room. After half a day of tossing, I just felt very tired in my heart, and I needed a good rest now. I felt the slight shaking of the hull, but my heart was very calm. At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door behind him, who was it? What happened again?

"Come in!" I shouted. It was a kite who pushed the door in! She walked straight up to me and said softly, "Sir, let me wait for you to change your clothes!"

I laughed and said, "Kite, you don't have to be like this!"

Kite smiled and reached out to help me untie my belt, whispering, "As a ninja, when I swear allegiance to you, I will be all yours." Including my body, my heart, and my whole being. It is my duty to serve the Lord's house. I don't need your return, it's just what I'm supposed to do. This...... It's convention, and it's the fate of our female ninjas! As he spoke, he looked up at me and smiled before saying, "I'm clean." After a pause for a few seconds, he lowered his head again and said, "Lan too." Next time it's her coming. ”

Seeing that I was silent, she helped me take off my coat, and began to untie my belt, which was completely wet by the rain, and continued while she was busy: "Every female ninja, when she swears allegiance, is actually already the personal belongings of the lord's family. Even if you want me to die now, I will die without resistance! I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I was born to be nurtured as a tool. For me, it is my greatest luck to be able to go to a home that cherishes me when I am a professional. Sir, I am content to meet you! ”

There was no impurity in her eyes, maybe I really misunderstood her before. When all the wet clothes were gone, she hugged my waist and gently pressed her body against me, her face resting on my chest. And I slowly and tightly hugged her shoulders......

That night, the storm was particularly violent.

The next day, the wind seemed to be light, but the rain was heavy. We're still here. The carpenter inspected the boat, repaired the damaged parts, and was ready to sail as long as the rain stopped! In the command room, we opened the chart, and Lan and Chen Kui carefully analyzed the route. As long as the storm passes, we only need one more day to reach Hizen, and another day to walk, and we will arrive in Izumo. I nodded, turned my head and asked, what other opinions do others have? Everyone agreed.

The kite was still standing quietly on the side, which made me suddenly feel very peaceful in my heart. In a sense, I am very grateful for this storm, because this unique pressure and environment, special circumstances and moods, let me finally say goodbye to 30 years...... Well, in fact, in such an open environment in the previous life, this seems to be a very shameful ugly thing, so let's not mention it!

During this time, we also wore ponchos and took advantage of the rain to land on the island. The island is really small, but it doesn't affect my pleasure when I'm down to earth. It felt like stepping on the thick cotton on the soles of my feet before, and suddenly I changed it to the steadiness of a wooden floor. The island is about the size of two football fields, and there are no large animals, but the vegetation is very dense.

There is a hill on the other side of the island, and there is a cave that is not too big or small. A few of us went into the cave, listened to the sound of rain outside, and remembered all the things before, and really felt like a world away. I stretched out my hand, followed the rain, and muttered, "Actually, it would be nice to have food, drink, and a place to live, and to stay on such an island with your loved ones!"

Lan said with a smile: "Sir, I'm not afraid of jumping out of a female monster and eating you raw!"

Then she and the kite together, eating and laughing endlessly.

I didn't expect that this sentence would become a prophecy in the near future! If you know in advance...... I guess I'll say it anyway......

That night, Arashi came in to help me get dressed......

Suddenly, there was some hope that the storm would not stop~
