The storm came much faster than we thought, the wind was getting stronger, the sea was already tumbling violently, and the dark clouds were like messengers from hell, gathering black overhead. The hull of the ship began to jolt violently, and we were already unsteady on our feet on the deck.

We were able to barely move until we lowered ourselves and held on to the cabin. At this time, a big wave crashed over, I didn't hold it steady all of a sudden, and my body was crooked and rushed directly to the side of the boat, if it wasn't for Wenmo pulling me in time, I would have fallen.

"Quick! Back to the cabin! The second uncle shouted at us.

I crawled back to the cabin. Looking out of the window, the wind and waves on the sea became stronger. Our ship was like a leaf at sea, crumbling, as if it would be swallowed up by those waves at any moment.

The waves on the surface of the sea, wave after wave. From time to time, our boat was lifted high by the waves, and then fell back to the surface. I felt like I was on a roller coaster, a total sense of dead and alive.

The old thunderhead has a lot of experience, and can accurately judge the trend of the waves and the direction of the rush, adjust the direction of the bow in time, and avoid the huge waves next to him. Sailing in such a storm, we must try to keep the bow of the boat facing the direction of the huge waves, otherwise a fishing boat like ours will probably lose its balance once the side is hit by the huge waves, and at that time we will have to report to the Dragon King.

The second uncle ran to the cockpit and asked the old Lei Tou nervously: "Lei Lao, how far is it from that island, it's too dangerous for us to do this." As I spoke, a huge wave came from the front, and the sea water smashed heavily on the glass of the cockpit, and a large amount of sea water rushed onto the deck, and I felt a chill in my heart, thinking that I must have been slapped into the sea this time, but fortunately, the bow of the ship was raised, and we rushed out of the water again. Salt water poured into the cabin from the deck, and at once the water was almost foot-free.

Old Lei Tou turned his head and shouted at us, "There is a pump in the cargo hold, quickly, drain the water in the cabin, the hull draft is too deep, we can't float!" ”

I hurriedly ran into the hold, moved out of the pumping machine and started pumping.

Lao Lei Tou pointed to the front and said: "The island in front is called Windless Island, if you encounter any situation in the sea, you will generally go there to avoid it." And I've just sent out a distress signal over the radio, hoping for a boat to save us. As soon as the old thunder head finished speaking, the hull of the ship was suddenly thrown up by a huge wave, and the bow of the ship was raised high, and I was like a rolling gourd in the cabin, and I bumped into the bulkhead of the ship with a grunt, and some small pieces of it were smashed over.

Wenmo grabbed the board and pulled me up, "It's okay!" I shook my head, and I was about to say something, when the hull of the boat shook, and then the bow of the boat dived downward, and I quickly grabbed the board of the boat as well, so as not to allow myself to roll over again. With a bang, a large amount of seawater rushed up again. We hurriedly stabilized ourselves, hurriedly turned on the pump, and drained the water outward with all our might.

At this time, we heard the old thunder head shouting: "No, we can't go to Windless Island, there are a lot of reefs there, such wind and waves can't control the hull at all, once we hit the reef, we are all finished!" ”

"What then?" I panicked a little when I heard it.

"No way! I can only fight it! The old thunder head said, turning the rudder quickly in his hand, "Let's go to the eye of the storm!" ”

I know a little bit about the eye of the storm, which is an empty area in the center of the storm, where the wind speed is lower and the temperature is higher, which seems to be a good idea at the moment. But I looked like the second uncle, but I found that his face was pale. I didn't know why, so I asked the second uncle what he was worried about?

The second uncle told me that although the eye of the storm is the best shelter in the storm, there is usually a high-speed wind belt around the eye of the storm, and the wind speed can even reach 100 meters per second.

Hearing the second uncle's explanation, my heart also became very anxious and frightened, and I asked the old Lei head with a little trembling, "Lei Lao, what are the chances that we can rush into the eye of the storm?" ”

The old thunder head didn't answer my question, but just said: "Resign yourself to fate!" When I heard this answer, I felt my blood cold.

The rest of the voyage would have been painful before we managed to make it into the eye of the storm, and we had to tie ourselves up in the cabin so we didn't get thrown out. The second uncle tied himself to a position close to the hatch, because someone always had to use a pump to drain the seawater in the cabin.

The boat was tossed and turned mercilessly by the waves, and I felt my internal organs stir together, and my stomach was churning violently, and if it weren't for the fact that I hadn't eaten in the morning, I would have vomited by now.

After a long time like this, I felt that my consciousness was a little blurred, and suddenly I heard the old thunder head in front of me shouting: "Everyone be careful!" It's time for the air intake! ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart was tight, whether it was dead or alive depended on this! I turned my head to look out through the window in the cabin, and countless waves towered around us like mountain peaks, like ants crawling in the mountains. I'm sure if we're going to survive, it's because the sea is too lazy to pinch us to death, because any of the waves around us crash and we're sure we'll be crushed in no time. I deeply felt how ridiculous and small human beings are in the face of the forces of nature, and my heart was full of awe and fear at this time!

At this time, I only heard the roar of the old thunder, I felt that the hull of the ship was tilting badly, and our ship seemed to be trying its best to climb upward, and through the window, I found myself getting higher and higher, is this going to fly to heaven? Before I could finish thinking about it, it was a rapid fall, and I even felt a little weightless, and then there was a bang, and I felt my body thump, and then the window was filled with seawater.

I yelled, oh no! TM is dying! We sank!

I closed my eyes and waited to feel the smell of the water pouring into my body, but instead of waiting for the impact of the water, I felt my body float up with the hull of the boat. I was looking at the window of the cabin and saw that the water outside had receded, and a calmer sea appeared before my eyes, and we succeeded!

I looked at Second Uncle and Wen Mo, and from their surprised and excited expressions, I knew that I wasn't dreaming! We really managed to get into the eye of the storm!

We hurriedly untied the ropes on our bodies and rushed to the deck, and the scene in front of us was extremely shocking! We are in a calm position, so to speak, and around us, there are countless monstrous waves and dense dark clouds. We couldn't imagine that we had just rushed through that hellish sea. We seem to feel the ridicule from the forces of nature, and we are like watching a movie with a huge spherical dome again, where nature is showing us its power without reservation, and we are deeply impressed without suspense.

The second uncle came to the cockpit and saw that the old thunder head was still holding the rudder, and his hands were still trembling. The second uncle hugged him excitedly, "Brother, you are too good, we all have to die here without you!" ”

Old Lei Tou turned his head and glanced at the second uncle and us blankly, and then he suddenly sat down on the ground, breathed a long sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to take out the dry tobacco, but his hands trembled and couldn't hit the flint at all. I reached out and helped him light his cigarette. The old thunder head took the dry smoke, took a hard breath, and after a long time slowly spit it out, shook his head with a wry smile at us, "Lord Long, bless!" ”

The second uncle also nodded heavily, "Yes!" Be! Bless the Dragon King! When he goes out, we will definitely pay more tribute to his old man! Say goodbye to his old man! ”

Everyone had a feeling of escaping death, but the mood was difficult to calm down for a while.

All that's left is draining the seawater that has poured into the cabin, and cleaning up the cluttered cabins and decks, which is still not easy, but it's like a reward for us compared to what we just experienced! Old Thunderhead needs to stay at the helm as we move with the eye of the storm while the three of us get to work on the aftermath.

After cleaning up, we came to the cockpit, and the second uncle asked Lao Lei Tou, did the distress signal sent just now receive a response?

Lao Lei Tou shook his head, "In this case, there is no way to rescue on the shore, even if there is a boat in the sea, it is difficult to protect itself, and I had no way to do it at that time." The second uncle nodded, this situation is actually within our expectations, but fortunately, we can already say that we are safe at present, just wait for the storm to disperse, we can continue to move forward.

Old Lei Tou turned his head and asked the second uncle, is there any loss of things on the ship?

The second uncle waved his hand, and there was basically no loss, except that he broke a few plates and bowls from time to time. Then he asked the old thunder head, "How are you?" ”

Old Lei Tou sighed and pointed to the maritime radio station, "I don't know why, this thing is broken, and the power supply is gone, alas! It's such a high-tech thing on my ship, it's good now, it can't be used! ”

The second uncle stepped forward and fiddled with it, but it still had no effect, "Forget it, I think Brother Lei, you are much more reliable than high-tech!" ”

Old Lei Tou smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the radio, which had been unresponsive just now, lit up, and then there was a strange sound, and we didn't hear it clearly. When we tried to listen again, the radio went out again, and just as we were wondering, the voice came out of the radio again, startling us, but this time we seemed to vaguely hear what the voice was, it was a very faint and strange voice: "Help! ”
