Chapter Ninety-Three: Distress
A long, thick climbing rope was thrown from the top of the hill, and Shu Kang found a sturdy tree trunk at the top of the hill and tied a dead knot.
Jiaoyue let Mi Qiao go up first, and after she ensured that her junior sister reached the top safely, she quickly climbed up with the rope.
"Master, you are amazing! This is the first time we have climbed up from the edge of a cliff without going through the pavilion! Jiaoyue was the last to pull the rope up, still panting, and she was already panting, so she was in the mood to express her admiration.
"I love it! After that, when I have time, I will teach you more. "The book is also very exciting, this is the thrill of "conquest".
The three of them turned to look in the direction of the pavilion, where there was an endless stream of people coming up the stairs. Further on, there is a large lake, sparkling with many pleasure boats; There is a long pavilion corridor, stretching into the center of the lake, and on the railings on both sides, there are lights inlaid according to the shape of the railing, which makes the "road" sense of the whole corridor more vivid and smooth.
The small merchants and vendors are also leaning on the beauties on both sides of the corridor, placing their own business power and peddling vigorously, attracting the attention of many children and women.
"There's a dock ahead!" Jiaoyue pointed to the end of the corridor not far away, where it was to get on the ferry.
This night pier, actually non-stop, can be seen to be a good spot for night tours.
The best part is that you don't have to buy tickets at all, people just stand in line, get on the boat one by one, and leave when it's full.
There is a fight with the ferry boat on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, and the boats here are also very capable of loading people, almost all of them are standing, and it is really rare to find the feeling of squeezing the subway in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the boat. People are close to people, and the happiest can stand on the side of the boat, next to the side of the boat, of course, because it is the most convenient to see the scenery.
The three of them were also lucky, and finally squeezed onto the boat, and were blocked by the closed gate, which happened to be the "viewing position" of the welt.
The hull of the ship starts and starts heading towards the sea! Seeing the waves that were broken by the hull, Shu Kang somewhat understood what it meant to be "excited", and the hull went up and down with the water waves, and this rhythm was easily associated with the fixed-frequency bumpy ride experience such as "cradle" and "bus".
Shu Kang stared at the process of wave making, breaking waves, and wave extinguishing, feeling very decompressed, very interesting, although monotonous, but extremely healing.
Looking around, the lake is getting wider and wider, and there is already a feeling of the river, and you can still see some black pressure on the horizon on the land; On the other side, it becomes a splicing of two black pieces of water and sky, with only a very small color difference. Anything else, I can't see anything clearly, only an endless dark night.
The other passengers also kept adjusting their positions as the hull rose and fell, after all, not everyone had the opportunity to grab some of the sturdy features on the hull. So, between strangers, have to collide and grasp by chance because of inertia, all of which are within the tolerable range, although some physical contact, but not intentionally, everyone can also be tolerant, keep silent, only hear the hull breaking waves of the "whoosh" sound of water, just because everyone stands very crowded, the original cool river surface, from time to time to blow a slightly cool river breeze, did not let the "human body community" collective hypothermia, 35, 6 degrees of artificial natural heating, or to ensure that everyone "huddle warm" effect is not discounted.
The sound of the "whooshing" water is not interrupted, but the larger, slower rhythm of the waves crashing on the shore begins to join, so that this monotonous natural music adds an extra track of accents, like a symphony, and begins to enter the main chapter.
"It's almost there! Look, the sea, the sea! In the crowd of people standing on the side of the bow of the boat on the edge of the "VIP seat for viewing", someone first made a surprise "station announcement".
The same is true for Shu Kang, who couldn't suppress his excitement and turned his head, wanting to see what the real sea was like first.
Just when everyone became a little lively and the crowd was slightly commotioned, a loud sound suddenly sounded, coming from the bottom of the boat, as if something had come over and collided violently with the impeller at the bottom of the boat!
The whole hull shook violently, and then the crowd couldn't stand steadily, and began to tilt with the hull of the ship, all of them stacked like arhats, directly compressing a boatload of people into half a boat, and those "humanoid photos" that were pressed to the bottom screamed one after another, and the iron guardrails on the side of the ship were also broken, and these photos became pixels one by one, falling into the water one after another, and the entire riverside became a disaster scene.
For a while, the screams, cries, paddling sounds, the huge sound of water waves driven by the turning of the hull, and the huge crashing sound that did not stop, were all intertwined and mixed, and the survivors who did not fall into the water all clung to everything or people at hand that could be grasped, everything was fine, as long as they could hold on for one more second, one more second.
The side where the master and apprentice were standing happened to be on the side of the sky, and the three of them had to ride on the guardrail on the side of the ship that had been flipped 90 degrees, and they saw that this air advantage was gradually getting closer and closer to the water with the sinking of the hull.
I can't think about it too much, Shu Kang hurriedly grabbed the guardrail with one hand and took out the wooden hairpin with the other, the time is limited, so I have to get a small lifeboat out quickly, at least protect myself and the two apprentices.
"What a broken place! I sink into the water at every turn, and I don't want to see the sea! Is there such a wicked thing? If you don't let me see it smoothly, I'm going to see it soon! It's just a little bit, it's really unreasonable! Shukang hurriedly drew while scolding in his heart.
Just a second before they had to fall to the surface of the water while riding on the railing, the little lifeboat was drawn, and the three of them desperately clung to it, paddled the water, and climbed into it in embarrassment.
No one else robbed them, it was really the last blow of the whole ship sinking just now, and all the unprepared "survivors" were washed away, just like we usually poured a basin of water on a group of ant nests on the ground, and people floated away, all of them completely helpless.
"Ahh What the hell is it that overturned such a big ship! Jiaoyue, do you see clearly? As soon as she sat down, she grabbed the handrail on the side of the dinghy, and she was shocked, and she couldn't wait to ask her sister.
"No, I'm going to see the scenery!" Jiaoyue replied.
"Is there any chance that this thing will attack us again?" Mi Qiao kept her vigilant, she felt that even if she sat in the dinghy now, she was not necessarily completely safe, after all, the power of that unknown thing was too great, and the iron boat that could hold a hundred people was completely overturned in an instant, if it weren't for the master, the two of them didn't know if they could save their lives.
