Chapter 14: Trouble as Humans Speak
The quiet sea is like the silence before a storm.
Mars slept very comfortably, because he didn't have to eat the stinking canned herring.
The moving island is small, but it is smooth.
So sleep will also become very calm.
But in the early hours of the morning, even sleeping in the island's stone house, Mars was awakened.
The waves were so big that they hit the island.
Then there was seawater crashing into his body.
"Mars, are you awake?"
Lawrence seemed to have woken up a long time ago, and he kept looking outside, although he couldn't see anything, but he kept looking outside.
Lawrence said after hearing that his son was awake.
"Father, is it a storm coming?"
"Well, don't worry, I'm here. ”
Lawrence's hand touched Mars's shoulder, and then reassured Mars.
"Father, I can make the reef raise our place a little higher so that we don't get hit by the huge waves. ”
After the waves have formed a certain power, they can directly sweep people away.
It's something everybody knows.
So, Mars was worried about this, so he said.
"The waves are small now, the problem shouldn't be very big, the sea breeze is blowing to the east, you let the island move to the west. ”
"To the west?"
Mars didn't know much about these things, so he didn't understand it when he heard his father tell him to change the direction in which the moving island was moving.
"Only then will our tub be safe, because the island will be able to give it a safe shelter when it moves. ”
Lawrence's experience speaks at this time.
If you are on the sea, you will encounter a big wind and waves, and a small wooden basin will easily turn over.
By that time, both the man and the tub may be gone.
Now that there is such a safe place, it is necessary to make people safe, and then to make the tub safe.
"Yes, Father. ”
Mars no longer hesitated, and then began to control the direction of the island's movement.
As it began to move westward, Mars noticed that the hole that had opened to the east had formed a relatively windless zone.
Because the speed of movement is many times slower than the speed of the front, the backward pressure of movement is basically useless at this time.
"Father, do you want to move the things on the tub?"
Mars was still thinking about his father's treasure, and then said this.
Lawrence, however, knew that he was prepared to survive such a storm without any problems, so he explained: "The baffle of the wooden basin has been installed, and unless it hits the top of the reef, it will not be destroyed, and the leather rope that is dragged is very tough and will not break." ”
Mars knew about his father's insistence, and then he didn't insist on it himself.
Human beings, who are completely accustomed to living in the sea, do not care whether they will get wet by the rain or not, nor do they care that the rolling waves of the sea make people feel like they are immersed in water.
All you have to do now is make sure you don't get swept away by the waves.
The moving island does not sway up and down, so you don't have to worry about being shaken by the waves.
It's not the same thing as the bumps in the boat at all.
It's like when a person is at home and the wind is blowing outside, but a person can stand by the window with a teacup and watch at it without any effect.
The only thing is that you will get wet with the sea water that washes in.
"Mars, it's about to rain now, and when the time comes, you have to make sure that you don't get swept away by the sea, and you have to pay attention to yourself at all times, I can't remind you loudly when the time comes. ”
Lawrence told his son so loudly before the rainstorm came.
Mars also felt the urgency of the danger at this time.
So he quickly controlled the wall next to himself and his father and made two handles.
In this way, he and his father also have a place to grasp it.
With the arrival of huge waves, it is sure to cover the island in an instant.
When the time came, the impact was huge, and Mars felt the need to prepare.
As the handle was made, Mars and his father grabbed one by one.
Then I heard as if someone was throwing stones again.
Because a violent crash was heard on the reef, and the sound of the cover of the tub colliding.
The rain is coming, and the sound is faster and more intense!
Trouble in the sea that can make humanity desperate has come.
The torrential rain fell, and the wind howled.
The waves flew up more than ten meters high.
Then they tossed and covered the islands, covered the wooden basins.
At this time, the wooden basin is like a small island, staying in the same position.
Even though it is surrounded by seawater, it begins to float upward, but it is dragged and cannot follow the waves.
As the island moved, the tub was undisturbed, as if it didn't have much of an impact.
This is also a fixed object that can be moved, otherwise I don't know where it was taken to the sea.
Mars was drenched at the moment, the cold water kept him on the island, and he didn't have so much to think about his father's treasure at the moment.
There was a lot of seawater in the stone house, but Mars had already made a drain.
So although I will be temporarily immersed in the water with my father, the sea will soon flow out.
Loud sounds, noisy ears trembling.
At the moment, Mars could hear nothing but the sound of the wind and the waves and the sound of huge raindrops crashing on stones.
The only feeling is to know that my father is by my side.
In this way, he was very relieved.
Suddenly, a large stream of seawater poured in, and Mars felt himself hit by a lot of seawater, and the back of his head hit the stone behind him at once, and he felt the dizzying sensation of blackening his eyes after the impact.
However, he knew that he couldn't let go, or he would be carried out by the sea.
Knowing the power of the sea, Mars gritted his teeth and pressed his head against the stone wall, not allowing a second impact.
This pain, he can still hold on!
The sea comes and goes quickly.
Mars didn't dare to open his mouth, and could only gasp heavily.
Because once you open your mouth, no one knows if there will be countless seawater poured into your mouth.
At this moment, Mars felt a hand touch his head.
As if trying to put his hand on the back of Mars's head.
Mars knew it was his father who wanted to protect him.
The sound of his head hitting the stone must have been heard by Lawrence.
Such paternal love made Mars grit his teeth, hold back his tears, and then put his head on the stone wall.
In this way, my father will feel his persistence, and he will understand what he wants to do, and he will support him to do so!
