Chapter 16 Islands in the Sea
Ten minutes later, a group of five of us sat in the cabin of the yacht, watching a middle-aged man say something to Liang Ruoyi in Cantonese, as if explaining the precautions of the yacht.
When I walked in from the outside, I observed the white yacht, which was not big, about two feet long and about one foot high, because it was raining heavily outside, and there was nothing on the small deck, and the whole yacht was bare, as if it were new.
It's the first time I've taken this kind of yacht, and I looked around curiously, and before I looked at it, Liang Ruoyi over there quarreled with the middle-aged man. I hurriedly walked over with the seventh master, I couldn't understand Cantonese at all, but when I saw the man gesturing outside, and his face was still anxious, I knew that it was probably the man who didn't want us to go to sea......
For the sake of our lives, this uncle doesn't want us to venture out to sea now.
The seventh master smiled and mediated between the two, and after a few minutes, the uncle finally sighed and said a few more words to us, and then shook his head and walked out.
"It's ten o'clock, get ready, and in an hour, we'll go to sea." Liang Ruoyi said as he turned around and entered the wheelhouse, I took a look at the past, and found that this yacht is really not simple, although I don't know those strange operating equipment, but I can see that the configuration of this yacht is very complete and advanced.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't understand, so he walked back to the cabin in a gloomy manner, and looked at the other three people who were also silent, as if they were all a little worried.
The pig's head checked the contents of his backpack on the side, turning it over and over several times. The seventh master sat on the chair, looking at a nautical chart in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly. The cloth bag monk sat quietly on the side, twisting the Buddha beads with a comfortable face.
"Seventh Master, is there a problem?" After looking around, I could only say a word to the seventh master.
The Seventh Master smiled: "Seriously, I have no experience in the submarine tomb, and more importantly, now I don't know where this tomb is, or rather, I'm not sure if it exists." β
As he spoke, the Seventh Master raised his chin towards the cockpit where Liang Ruoyi was. I understand that what the Seventh Master means is that Liang Ruoyi should know a lot of information, but she may be afraid that after we know, she will also prevent her from going to sea, so she didn't tell us in advance.
No matter how you think about it, this operation is the most bottomless in history......
The time soon came, but the wind and rain outside showed no sign of abating. Liang Ruoyi came out and called the seventh master into the cockpit, and a few minutes later, he heard a "boom" sound, and the small cruise ship started the motor, turned around, and headed south.
The pig's head sitting across from me looked out the window uncertainly, and the bean-sized raindrops "crackled" on the hull and deck, making it difficult for us to calm down.
I don't know how Liang Ruoyi's driving skills are, if you use the car as a reference, it is estimated that it is not bad, although the cruise ship is a little swaying from side to side, but the overall is stable, about ten minutes later, I saw through the window that there is a lighthouse outside, in the rainstorm, it seems a little lonely.
"Hey!" The pig head didn't know when it started, in order to stabilize himself, he was holding a bunch of snacks on the side and eating it, but at this time he couldn't help it: "It's pitch black outside, I can't see the land, but it's the first time I've gone to sea, what about you?" β
"Me?!" I smiled: "The second time, the first time was when I was ten years old, I took an airship ride on the beach in Dongying!" β
"Get out!" The pig's head spat me: "I can't tell the direction at all now, if I continue to stagger like this, I'm going to get seasick!" β
"Then you still eat so much!" I laughed and cursed.
The yacht staggered out of the cliff gate and walked south for more than an hour, and I had no sense of direction at all, looking out the window at the endless darkness, and suddenly felt that I was too small......
I finally understood how lonely and insecure those who spent months a year at sea were.
The pighead was a little tired, and lay in bed as if he was asleep, but he didn't snoreβI knew he couldn't sleep well, and in this environment, he would always think about getting up and running for his life.
The Budai monk was still sitting there, but he didn't chant anymore, just twisted the Buddha beads, and his face was calm. I really admire this old monk, he always looks like he is not surprised, of course, if I don't tease him from time to time, I feel more like a monk.
I glanced down at the time, it was already 0:25, we had been walking for about an hour and a half, I didn't know anything about sailing, but I could feel that the speed of this cruise ship was still quite fast, and it should have been far away after walking for so long.
The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and according to the weather forecast, there is indeed a typhoon moving from south to north, and I don't know if it will be encountered. The rain showed no signs of abating, and I sat in my chair and looked out the window at the vague darkness, still apprehensive.
Suddenly, the whole cruise ship suddenly seemed to fly, my whole body was thrown up, and the pig's head was slapped directly on the ground from the bed, "bang"!
"What's wrong?! Master, I ......" Before I finished speaking, I landed again, staggered to the ground, and the cruise ship seemed to fall back to the surface of the sea.
"Pedal, pedalβ"
There was a rush of footsteps, and the seventh master ran over from the cockpit and beckoned to the three of us: "Take your things and come to the cockpit!" β
"Cockpit or survival pod?!" The pig's head was already frightened and cried, and asked with a sad face.
"Smack!" I staggered to my feet and slapped the pig's head on the head: "Cockpit!" Shut your stinky mouth, what a rescue pod! You think it's a spaceship! β
The whole yacht began to shake violently at this time, and I could hear the sound of the waves outside, and the sound of the waves crashing on the deck.
I pulled the pig's head and took the good things, and ran into the cockpit with the seventh master.
When we saw the scene outside through the cockpit window, we were all stunned: it was a vast darkness outside, and there was no edge in sight, and the two headlights on the ship shone through like two small flashlights, small and pitiful, and the visibility was only a few feet; And we were able to see the monstrous waves outside by the poor light, each of which was one or two feet high, and with the sound of the "whirring" wind, it was like a huge devil, playing with our yacht.
"How, what to do?!" The pig's head leaned against the wall on one side, his face pale.
Liang Ruoyi didn't say a word, staring at the screen in front of him, holding the joystick with both hands.
"Huh?!" The Seventh Master suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! There's something ahead, so get out of the way! β
Everyone looked at it and saw that in the waves more than ten meters away, there seemed to be a huge reef, which appeared and disappeared in the wind and waves! At the current speed of the ship, it is estimated that it will be difficult to avoid!
Liang Ruoyi hurriedly turned the direction, but it seemed that it was too late, seeing that the side of the yacht was about to hit the reef hard, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, a huge wave threw the yacht up, and it was able to avoid the reef.
"Ahh
Several of us also fell to the ground again with the violent shaking, staggering to stand up, but saw Liang Ruoyi's eyebrows furrowed, looking ahead, full of nervousness.
"What's wrong?" I gasped for breath and looked ahead as I asked, stunned!
In the distance, in the darkness, there is a small island in the wind and waves, which looks like it is crumbling. But what is surprising is that this island looks like it has the outline of a house, and it looks like it is inhabited. But we all know that there are no inhabited islands in this sea at all!
Mirage? No, how can there be a mirage in this environment!
What is that?! Everyone stood up and stared intently at the island. However, after another huge wave hit, we once again stood firm and looked at the island, which was so fleeting......
"Seventh Master!" Liang Ruoyi greeted the seventh master, handed the joystick in his hand to the seventh master, took out a map from his body, drew more than a dozen coordinates on the map with reference to the coordinates on the screen, and slapped the table: "This is this place!" β
