Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea Chapter 11 Ghost Blood Ship

The boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, gave the left rudder to avoid the catastrophic consequences of the collision of the two ships, the bow of the two ships was wrong, almost the ship's pole was attached to the ship's pole, and the distance between the middle was less than one meter, and the dangerous Cheng dù was like a "ghost head", everyone on our ship pinched a sweat in the palm of their hands, in case the boat crashed and leaked, everyone had to follow the "Trident" to the bottom of the sea as an exhibit in the shipwreck cemetery.

Fortunately, Ruan Hei turned the rudder fast enough, and the two ships did not scrape together, saying that it was too late, and it was fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rowed across the sea, and the white ghostly old-fashioned sailing boat, under the action of the ocean current, quickly burrowed into the fog and disappeared, as suddenly as it appeared, like a ghost on the sea whose trail was fleeting and disappearing.

The sea surface of the dense fog was still silent, because of the very unexpected and sudden occurrence of this qiē, everyone did not slowly come back to their senses until the ship disappeared into the sea fog, and a layer of white sweat appeared on their foreheads, and no one knew where the boat came from, and a dazed and frightened meaning that could not be explained spread throughout the body.

People who run boats all the year round can tell some strange stories on the sea, and there are many legends about ghost ships and water ghosts, but most of them are hearsay, and few have witnessed and experienced them. Ruan Hei, who is at the helm, has never encountered this terrible situation of directly facing the ghost ship, the fishermen are most afraid of encountering ghosts at sea, it is by no means a good sign, and he may be able to cope with the wind and waves, but he is not the inverted captain of the gold after all, when it comes to things in the netherworld, how can he not be frightened, Rao is he is brave enough, at this time his legs and stomach have become soft, if he is not pressed on the rudder to support his body, he almost collapsed to the ground.

Not only Ruan's black body is like a sifting chaff, even I feel frightened, because at the moment when the two ships staggered by, the distance between them is too close, even if there is fog on the sea, there is a vast area in all directions, but after all, there is still so much visibility of about 20 meters within the line of sight, not to mention that the two ships are almost scraped together recently, at that time, even the traces of the wear of the cable on the three-masted sailing ship can be seen clearly, I saw that the deck and hatch of the ship, are mottled with blood, the blood has dried up and blackened, It forms a strong contrast with the white hull, which is daunting, I wonder if it is the blood of those seamen on board, but where are all the people on board? Not even a corpse remained, only the bloodstains that could be seen all over the boat.

As soon as I told the rest of the people about this situation, it turned out that not only I had seen it, but also the fat man, Shirley Yang, including Ruan Hei's two apprentices, Gu Chai and Duo Ling, everyone had discovered this situation, and it seemed that it was definitely not me who was dazzled. You could even smell the thick smell of blood coming from the ship just now. The fat man came up with an idea and said: "Hell, it must be a ghost ship, I think let's hurry down to the cabin to prepare the water cannon, if we run into it again, we will knock it out with one shot, so as not to break the ghost and tear our pants and legs to delay our plan to collect eggs." ”

I thought to myself that there was a ghost ship, and that the cannonballs might not be useful, so I turned my head to look at Shirley Young to hear what she had to say, what kind of ship was it?

Shirley Yang shrugged helplessly: "Like you, I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but I don't even know how to ask now, but I have a hunch that if that ancient three-masted ship really comes at us, it will appear again sooner or later, and now the visibility on the sea is too low, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

We only discussed a few words, and we haven't decided whether to retreat or attack. Seeing the mast lights flickering in the fog, the three-masted ship that had just passed us quietly sailed head-on from the direction of our bow again.

If the first encounter with the three-masted ship a few minutes ago was able to be quickly avoided at the most critical moment, first of all, because the fat man's sharp eyes found it quickly, and Shirley Yang quickly reminded Ruan Hei, the boat boss didn't even come to be surprised, so he subconsciously turned the rudder to avoid it, but who would have thought that in such a short period of time, the white ghostly ghost ship came out of the sea fog in front of it again, if it wasn't a ghost ship, what would it be?

Everyone was stunned in front of this strange phenomenon that common sense is difficult to explain, this time it was not as lucky as last time, the white old sailing ship, which was a ghost condensed by the sea fog, drifting in the fog, coming as it was said, saying that it was not at all, and there was no sign in advance. Although Ruan Hei, the boss of the boat, hurriedly pulled the rudder with all his might, he only avoided direct impact, but the sides of the two ships were scraped together, fishing nets were hung on both sides of the three-masted boat, and the nets were all white floats, and the rubber lifeboats with ropes tied to the side of the Trident were suddenly entangled together, and it was difficult to separate.

The two boats rubbed together, causing the hull to shake violently, we lost our balance and staggered on the deck, Gu Chai was unstable, fell to the ground, and almost rolled into the sea, so frightened that he screamed, Shirley Yang pulled a cable and threw it to Gu Chai to hold on firmly.

The Seawillow Trident had copper plate armor, which avoided direct collision, and was not only intact, but also because the waterline under the ship was equipped with a spike, which scraped a hole in the side of the three-masted ship, and the sea water suddenly poured into the three-masted ship through the hole in the hull, and our Trident, because it was entangled with it, was immediately tilted by the white ghost ship that began to sink due to the injection of seawater.

The amplitude of the ship's roll is not too strong for a while, but the hull of the three-masted ship is huge, and after a long time, it may be dragged into the sea, and the fat man sees this, so he wants to use a fish chopping knife to cut the lifeboat rope tied to the side of the ship, this is a way to lose the pawn and protect the car, I quickly stopped his move: "Take the gangplank, cut the fishing net!" ”

In case of an accident on a ship, in the vast sea, I am afraid that only the lifeboat can bring the sea wolves who are fighting for their lives at sea to retain a glimmer of life, not to the point of helplessness, the lifeboat must not be abandoned, the fishing net of the three-masted boat floated and hooked the lifeboat, even if our ship is not overturned by the three-masted boat that is about to sink, it will also cause damage to the hull or equipment, and the shape is forced, so we can not think about it anymore, so we have to step on the gangplank and go to the opposite boat to cut those fishing nets.

At this moment, the boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, did not dare to speed up, the "Trident" could only circle with the other party on the sea, and the fat man and I set up the springboard as fast as possible, Gu Chai and Duo Ling just held down the springboard, Shirley Yang stepped over the gangplank first, jumped on the three-masted ship with agility, and struggled to cut the fishing net with a fish chopping knife.

The fat man also wanted to get over the gangplank, but on the narrow plank of the balance beam, and swayed with the ups and downs of the two boats, he would fall into the sea if he stepped on the air, and he was afraid of being tall or timid, and he couldn't pass at all, he didn't care about anything else, but he was born afraid of heights, and he was afraid of half a point before he got on the springboard.

I pulled the fat man aside, rushed over the gangplank, and shouted to him, "Don't go over, you guys, throw the rope over, meet us here, and we must return at once when we cut the nets." As he spoke, he took advantage of the small gap between the springboard and shook a little steadily, and flew over and stepped onto the three-masted ship.

Although the gangplank was narrow and shaky, when I was in the army, I had to practice tactical maneuvers to attack all kinds of obstacles almost every day, and I am afraid that the single-plank bridge would pass through thousands of times, but after all, it was a facility in military training, and passing between the two ships in this raging sea could not help but make people feel weak under their feet. I didn't dare to look at my feet at all, only the palm-wide springboard was too dizzying, and it was very likely that if I was afraid, I would stumble and fall, and I would dare to fly across with a sharp spirit.

I felt a little twisted in my legs and stomach, and I couldn't help but envy Shirley Yang's courage, but maybe it was because the training method and focus of the Navy were different from those of the Army, and I didn't feel ashamed to think of this.

I've never seen a ghost ship, but I've heard all the rumors about ghost ships that can be roughly divided into two main categories, the first is that all the people on board are dead or missing, and the reasons for this are very strange, because human knowledge of the ocean is so limited. Some people say that there are sea ghosts or mermaids who have become spirits in the sea, and can tempt sailors with their voices and colors in the water, and once the people on the boat are attracted by them, they will involuntarily jump into the sea and give away their lives, and some people say that it is because there are some things in the sea that cannot be eaten, and there is a kind of fish that will cause hallucinations when eaten, so that the crew will jump into the sea to commit suicide, so there will be unmanned empty ships on the sea, and people are used to calling this kind of ship "ghost ship".

There is another type of "ghost ship", most of these ghost ships are ships that have been missing for many years, and some have even been missing for hundreds of years, but they suddenly appeared at sea and were found, and there were no bodies of any crew on board, and the qiē facilities on the ship were still operating normally, as if they had just been out to sea, and no one knew where it had drifted away in the hundreds of years since it disappeared.

It is precisely because people cannot explain these mysterious phenomena that bizarre legends such as the "ghost" ship are born, but these legends do not seem to confirm the strange things that have happened to us. The second time I ran into the ship, I wondered if there were many of these three-masted white ships in the fog. But I remember a few small features of the hull, as evidenced by the position where the mast lights were hoisted, that it was indeed the same ship.

The three-masted white ship behemoth is really stored in front of it, and a knife can leave a knife mark on the ship's bon, and this ship is indeed full of blood, and the strangest thing is that this hull style is ancient, without any characteristics of a modern ship, but the three-masted ship does not look dilapidated at all, and some places are even very new.
