1546 Wind and Waves
At this time, Xu Shu had already come to the bow of the boat, and was looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, only the stars in the sky were reflected on the calm sea.
Suddenly, Xu Shu pricked up his ears, meticulously listened to the movement in front of him, and looked into the distance, and finally revealed a grim expression. Wang Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Strategist, is there any situation?" ”
"A strong storm is coming, and the soldiers are ordered to put away their oars, close the door of the barn, and do not come out." Xu Shu said solemnly.
"Where can you see the wind and waves?" Wang Baoyu was very puzzled, because the sea seemed to be calm like a mirror.
"I've been at sea for a long time, and I can tell the strength of the wind by smelling the wind, and besides, I've seen the big waves coming this way, and it won't take more than half an hour to get here." Xu Shu said affirmatively.
Xu Shu has excellent eyesight, Wang Baoyu had a deep understanding last time, and immediately woke up Ma Yunlu and asked her to send an order to all the soldiers on the ship, stop the big boat, put away the oars, and hide in the cabin.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, the sea breeze gradually became stronger and more violent, and the Ocean Ocean was extremely turbulent on the sea. And in the sky, dark clouds as black as ink rushed in, with blinding lightning and huge thunder.
The pitch-black sea was illuminated again and again, and Wang Baoyu was still looking at the bow of the boat, when suddenly, he saw a hundred zhang high mountain moving rapidly in front of him.
"Baoyu, hurry up and get into the cabin, the big waves are coming!" Xu Shu hurriedly picked up Wang Baoyu and rushed into the cabin.
Thundered!
With the deafening thunder, the rain fell, and at the same time, the high mountain formed by the big waves pounced, instantly bringing the Ocean to the peak of the wave at a height of 100 zhang, and as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black all around, and then, the Ocean fell quickly and was thrown into the deep valley.
It is said that the roller coaster is thrilling, but it is less than a tenth of this time, the things in the cabin are scattered all over the ground, and everyone grabs the railing in the house so as not to be thrown out, and Xiao Qiao, who is sleeping, is thrown to the ground.
Xiao Qiao had never experienced this kind of thing, and after making sure that it was not a nightmare, he couldn't help but let out a panicked scream, the sound of the howling waves, completely drowned out Xiao Qiao's cry, the myopia mirror was nowhere to be found, and the person became more dazed and panicked.
When the wind and waves were relatively smaller, Xiao Qiao staggered up, stumbled to Wang Baoyu's room, his body was like sifting chaff, and he asked intermittently with a whimper: "Baoyu, will we die here!" ”
Looking at the pale, pitiful Xiao Qiao, although Wang Baoyu was also frightened in his heart, he was still steady and affectionate, stepped forward to hug her tightly, and continued to comfort: "Xiao Qiao, don't be afraid, the sea also has a time to lose its temper, just go over." ”
"Baoyu, I feel the anger of the sea, as if it wants to swallow me in one gulp. You listen, you listen, it's roaring, ah! Little Joe covered his ears in almost despair.
Wang Baoyu hugged her tighter, as if to comfort a child, and whispered softly in her ear: "Xiao Qiao, don't worry, if the sea is really a demon, I will let it eat before you." Hehe, maybe the sea is full, and it won't hurt you anymore. ”
Seeing Wang Baoyu's firm expression and feeling the breath of a man, Xiao Qiao's love finally settled down, nodded slightly with tears, closed her eyes heavily, and hugged the only man she could rely on with both hands, unwilling to let go.
This time the wind and waves seemed to be particularly violent, in the turbulent sea, the ocean was like a leaf fluttering in the wind and rain, thrown into the air by the waves again and again, and fell rapidly again and again, which was a severe test of everyone's courage and physical function.
On several occasions, everyone felt that the Ocean was about to capsize and sink to the bottom of the sea forever. However, the Ocean Ship supervised by Huang Yueying has a strong drainage function, and in the face of such wind and waves, there is no seawater influx in the cabin, and the personnel are relatively safe.
In the endless turbulence, I don't know where it was carried by the big waves, Xiao Qiao snuggled in Wang Baoyu's arms, and gradually fell asleep, and her eyelashes wet with tears occasionally shook a few times, hugging Wang Baoyu tighter, and Wang Baoyu did not let her go.
At dawn, the wind and waves seemed to be smaller, but the heavy rain did not stop for a moment, and in the rain that followed the sky, there was no direction at all, and the Ocean was still in an uncontrollable state, so it could only drift with the wind and hand over its fate to the sky.
Xiao Qiao finally woke up, his face was crimson, he broke free of Wang Baoyu, bowed and thanked him, and then leaned on the bulkhead and returned to his room. Wang Baoyu then came to Xu Shu's room, and saw Xu Shu with a worried face, looking out through the crack in the window.
"Strategist, when will the wind and waves stop?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"It's much smaller, but as it stands, it won't stop for at least seven days." Xu Shu said.
Seven days? Wang Baoyu was stunned, it is really impossible to estimate where the Ocean will float in seven days, according to the current wind direction, it should be west, if it floats to Cao Ei's territory, I am afraid that it will have to experience a lot of trouble.
Leave it to fate! At this time, Wang Baoyu could only think so, and returned to his room, and the guards staggered to bring food, which were ready-made dry food, dried meat and fresh water, and there was no way to start a fire. Wang Baoyu didn't sleep all night, ate a little less, then lay down on the bed, set up a guardrail, and fell asleep in the wind and waves.
After seven days of turbulence in the sea, the sea finally returned to calm, without a trace of waves, and was extremely docile. Everyone felt a sense of escape from death, and they stepped out of the cabin one after another, feeling the warm sunlight and gentle sea breeze.
Wang Baoyu took out a telescope to look around, but did not see the continental shelf, but saw a desolate island not far away.
After experiencing strong winds and waves, the soldiers should be allowed to take a good rest, in this vast sea, the more desolate the island, the safer it is.
Wang Baoyu ordered the Ocean to be brought to the island and the hull of the ship was overhauled, and half an hour later, the soldiers of the Ocean finally set foot on the land where they felt safe.
Wang Baoyu and his party also got off the boat and walked onto this deserted island, which is a sandy and gravel structure, with few trees, low bushes everywhere, and naturally no fresh water.
Except for the droppings of seabirds, no animals were found, and the desert island was lifeless. The soldiers started to make a fire on the island and cooked, and after a week of cold food, it was time to eat some hot food and restore their bodies.
"Today, we know that Baoyu has made many expeditions, and what hard work has been paid to exchange for the peace and stability of Yiling." Xiao Qiao said sincerely.
