CHAPTER XXIX

Since we have to wait for a month, our life at sea this month has become a problem, there is no shortage of oil and salt, the main shortage is fresh water and fuel oil. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In order to save fuel, when the ghost island is exposed at night, we go to the island to pick up clams, lobsters and other things, after picking up, the meat is processed, cut into slices, and put on the deck during the day to expose to the sun, when we need to eat, the water bubbles rise, and we can eat it with a little salt.

It tastes pretty bad this way, but under the condition of saving fuel, exposure to the sun is currently the most reliable way to kill parasites, occasionally catch some salmon, you can also eat some sashimi, every two or three days, will cook the fish pot.

Confucius said that food and color are also the most primitive pursuit of human beings, and this is indeed true. We and Ah Zi's gang originally didn't like each other, although they didn't turn their faces and fight, but when we met on the boat, we also snorted coldly and turned our faces to the side.

But it didn't take long for the chopsticks in everyone's hands to stir up the world like knives and guns fighting. In the process of grabbing food, everyone gradually changed from looking at each other unpleasantly to sympathizing with each other, and they were okay during the day, so they simply teamed up to fish together. Of course, Ah Zi, who has a life-and-death enmity with me, is still inseparable from me, and I am the same, I haven't forgotten that this woman shot me before.

After half a month at sea, just these people, who look up and don't look down, are also familiar, the fresh water resources on the sea are precious, plus the four of us, the consumption is also more, so there is a freshwater crisis.

The only way to collect fresh water at sea is to wait for it to rain, but with the drought here, I don't think it will be able to reach our area.

In order to collect enough rainwater, Zhou Xuanye had to let the drought fish roll away, so the drought fish drove a motorboat and decided to go out to hide for two days.

As soon as the drought was gone, it was immediate, and that night, the navigator told us that the wind was stronger and that there might be rain tonight.

Everyone cheered, opened the fish tank that stored water, and moved out all kinds of tools to fill the water and wait for a timely rain.

But soon, the navigator said: "Don't be too happy, the wind is still gradually strengthening, and if it goes on like this, it will not only be rain, but may be a storm at sea." "The navigator of this ship is a young man, he likes to joke on weekdays, and he gets along well with everyone, and he is currently Tang Linlin's new target. At this moment, his expression swept away his usual hippie smiling face, and he looked very serious, and everyone couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Ah Zi frowned and said, "Storm at sea? Will the situation be serious? ”

"Storms are graded, at sea, below level 6 can be handled, and at level 7 they are dangerous," he said. ”

Tang Linlin said: "Then how much wind power is there now?" ”

The navigator frowned and said, "Level 6, but the wind speed is still increasing, and I feel a little hanging." ”

Tan Jian frowned and looked up at the sky, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, at this time on weekdays, the sun in the sky was still very hot, but today, the sun was darkened, and where the sea and the sky met in the distance, thick dark clouds gathered, as if they were about to be blown by the wind.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, and Wangyun was the same, although it looked very close, but I knew that the dark clouds were really going to move, and it was estimated that there would be a long time.

The navigator exhaled a long breath and said; "I continue to observe, and to be on the safe side, everyone is now ready to moor the ship to the 'port'.

The port he was talking about was the natural five-pointed star inner corner port of Ghost Island, and although it was still hidden in the water, it would be revealed at night when the sea water descended with the tide. Our ships have been anchored in the harbor of Inner Point, and he is going to add a few more ropes.

The rest of the crew said that there was no problem, and the navigator instructed them to make a horizontal connection, so that the wind would not be too strong and the rope strength would be uneven, which would cause the boat to capsize. His quick action made everyone scared.

I looked at Zhou Xuanye and couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhou, we won't be so unlucky, right?" ”

He said: "I can't say, with you, anything unlucky can happen." ”

I felt despised and a little depressed, and said, "Brother Zhou, can you blame me for this." Speaking of this, I wonder, didn't you say that if I do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, my luck will not fall? You see...... Originally, I could have been worth tens of millions of rich people, but for the sake of that damn luck, I scattered all my wealth, but my luck, why is it still declining? Brother Zhou, are you cheating on me? ”

Zhou Xuanye choked for a moment, and said with a tiger face: "You are still alive and well, but you are lucky, you still want to get rich?" Dream on. ”

As time passed, the wind began to strengthen as the navigator had expected, and the navigator's face became heavier and heavier, and finally he gave us a wind rating, 10.

I don't know much about this, but ten-level winds, resting on land, that's not small, let alone at sea?

What does a Category 10 storm look like at sea?

At first, when they heard the navigator report this number, everyone didn't react much, after all, they didn't know much about the ocean, and they didn't know what level ten meant. But when we saw the navigator's pale face and straight eyes, we realized that something had happened.

The boat, which was originally noisy and lively, was silent for a moment. After a while, Tang Linlin broke the silence and muttered, "I knew that I shouldn't have let the drought fish leave, now let him come back, will this storm disappear?" ”

Zhou Xuanye said calmly: "The agreement is to come back in two days, where to find him?" Besides, he is a drought fish, and he does not work part-time as the thunder male and lightning mother, the wind master and the rain god. ”

I said, "You always tell jokes when you shouldn't, and we don't laugh at all, okay?" ”

Zhou Xuanye touched his nose and looked at the sky speechlessly. All the preparations that can be made have been made, and if it is on land, there are many means to deal with natural disasters, but on this sea, we really can't do anything.

Don't bully the mountains and the water, that's what you say.

Around six o'clock in the evening, the water level gradually dropped, and we began to tighten the ropes so that the boat was close to the harbor.

Fortunately, the island of Ghost Island is relatively high, and hiding in the harbor and blocking the wind on three sides can avoid a lot of danger, but even so, standing on the deck, we can feel the wind getting stronger and stronger, and finally when people can barely open their eyes, we have to hide in the cabin and close all the windows.

The dark clouds were overwhelmed, and it was darker than usual, and on the left and right sides of the ship, there were four ropes tightly taut, tied to the reefs on the left and right, but even so, the boat swayed with the increasingly turbulent current, and I, who did not get seasick, was a little dizzy after spending more than an hour in it.

Because the windows were closed, the air inside the ship was relatively stuffy, and the navigator kept frowning, staring at the nautical instrument, and although the rest of us did not speak, we were all distracted, looking out from time to time.

The rickety boats, the huge sound of wind and waves, like a cinema with surround sound, make people's ears have no room to escape. The waves were getting higher and higher, crashing against the black reef, and some could even hit the deck.

We closed the doors and windows tightly, and we couldn't feel the wind directly, but the waves that came up from time to time were like hitting the heart.

It was then that I suddenly heard a sound beyond the waves, a click, like something was hitting our deck, and like the sound of wood breaking.

This voice is very clear, and I am not the only one who hears it, everyone is in the bow and snake shadow at this moment, and suddenly there is such a sound, and it is not calm all of a sudden.

A person in the team with the nickname Ermazi stood up and said in a panic: "What sound?" ”

Ah Zi pursed her lips and frowned, "It's from the back of the boat." ”

Er Mazi swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you want to go out and have a look?" Did you hit a rock? ”

Ah Zi said: "There is no boat, what reef is touched, at best it hits the reef twice, and this boat is not made of tofu." "The place where we are anchored now, although it is a natural port, but after all, there is no artificial rest, there are some raised reefs around, the ship will inevitably collide with the reef under the impact of the wind and waves, but the ship does not have a power system, only by the strength of the wind and waves, so as not to let the hull suffer too much damage, after all, the current ship is not the ship of ancient times, it is all wooden, and the current ship, the hull is iron, which is so easy to break.

Er Mazi said: "Then how did that voice come from just now?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a snapping sound behind the boat.

You know, now the wind and waves are very loud, and we close the doors and windows, which has a certain sound insulation effect. In such a situation, we can all hear the sound behind the ship, which indicates that the source of this sound is very loud.

At this moment, the navigator said: "Go out and have a look, behind is our fish cabin, and the fresh water to be used next depends on that fish cabin." ”

Er Mazi said: "At this time, are you still in the mood to care about the fish cabin?" ”

The navigator stared at the nautical instrument, did not look back, and said: "Why don't you care, there is no fresh water, we will also die, if the storm continues to increase, we may also die, the difference between early death and late death is only, so, there can be nothing on both sides." Quick, go out and see what's going on. ”

At this time, the wind and waves outside were too strong, and it was inconvenient for people to go out, so I said, "No, I'll let the little ghost go out and have a look." ”
