Except for the sailors who have been at sea all the year round, that scene is simply the most terrible sight in the world for those of us who live on land all the year round, and it can be basically equated with the scene of the end of the world. I think it's horrible. ”

Lao Qu said very calmly: "I have traveled through the typhoon area no less than dozens of times, this level of storm can not cause a certain amount of turbulence, there will be no big risk, if we go around we have to add at least a week of travel, you can afford to spend it, I can't afford it." ”

I said, "But the storm zone ahead is so clearly visible, why do you have to risk sailing?" It's really not possible, let's drop anchor and stop the ship, and then continue to move forward after this storm passes. ”

Lao Qu said with a smile: "As soon as you hear this, it is a layman's words, and you have to wait until you enter the port to say it, otherwise with the average water depth of more than 1,200 meters in the South China Sea, how long do I have to prepare an anchor chain?" And this storm is very unusual, because there are very few storms on the surface of the sea during this season, and the weather data I have just received does not detect this storm, so I can tell you for sure that this is a mirage, which is not only found in the desert, but also in the sea. ”

I said, "Since this is just an illusion, why are you asking the crew to clean up the clutter on deck?" ”

"When you go to sea, you have to be careful in everything, I don't think about myself and I have to think about you, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, you can rest assured, I'm not a chick who just saw the water."

I knew I couldn't convince him to give up, but I felt restless when I entered the cabin, so I went back to the deck, and now the deck was cleared of debris, and I stood on the side of the ship and looked at the storm zone in the distance, which didn't look like a mirage, and after a few hours, as the distance of the voyage approached, I clearly felt the sudden drop in temperature, and the wind speed gradually became stronger, and the weather vane on the mast gradually swayed on both sides from the calm at the beginning, and then began to turn in circles, and then the speed of the circle became faster and faster, And a gust of wet sea breeze kept blowing on my face, this feeling is not an illusion can create, and then the deafening thunder on the sea surface came, I could no longer bear to turn my head and go to the cockpit again, only to see Lao Qu with his feet on the rudder, a cigarette in his mouth and looking intently at a yellow magazine, while reading his mouth and saying: "American girls are so bold." ”

"No matter how big I think, Captain Qu is not bold, knowing that there is a storm area ahead, but he is biased towards Tiger Mountain."

He took the time to look at me and smiled: "You people who have just gone to sea are just timid, and this little drizzle will make you timid, if this is the case, you shouldn't go to sea?" Lying in your own bed is the safest. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a drop of water drop on the glass window of the cockpit, and then the fishing boat sailed into a downpour, and a water curtain suddenly formed on the glass window, blocking my vision, and at the same time the hull began to have a large degree of swaying, Lao Qu smiled and said: "You really came in, otherwise it would be a soup chicken in a blink of an eye, but unfortunately there is no fresh fish to eat tonight, so I can only make noodles." ”

Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about what to eat at night, and I was dizzy and said, "Captain Qu, all of our lives are in your hands, can you pay a little attention to it." ”

"Dude, I said can you not question my decision, I have been at sea for more than 20 years, and I have never encountered any situation, if I don't even have this certainty, can I still eat this bowl of rice, otherwise this ship is under your command, and I will be responsible for piloting it?"

I had no choice in the face of such a conceited captain, the bumps in the hull were getting bigger and bigger, and Lao Qu said: "I suggest that you find a fixed place to sit, it is not easy to fall and get up in this environment." I had no choice but to sit down on a fixed chair and hold it on my back.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, although we can't see the surrounding conditions clearly, but the obviously darkened environment, and the more frequent lightning shows that we are approaching the storm zone, Lao Qu finally threw away the yellow book in his hand and began to seriously control the sea boat, I couldn't help but say: "Do you think you are going to let the boat float over by itself?" ”

Lao Qu smiled: "Do you know why I don't want to take a detour for this little storm? ”

"You're bold and well-informed." I scoffed.

Unexpectedly, he did not hesitate to accept and said: "What you said is really right, I often deal with this kind of bad weather, and I have struggled for decades and finally understood a truth, that is, we must never retreat in front of it, in eighty-five years, our three ships encountered a typhoon when passing through the East China Sea, and according to the direction of sailing, they were in the middle of the storm, and the other two ships had to go around at that time, but my master didn't do it, what he said was very simple, the sea god wants you to capsize, the more you dodge, the more he will find you, and when you don't flinch, he will know that you are not easy to mess with, Offered to make way for you, but the storm really quickly deflected out of our course, and as a result, none of the two detouring ships returned, only us returned to port. ”

I sighed and said, "According to what you mean, life and death are destined?" ”

"That's right, I'm a believer, and this storm is very strange, I've walked this sea countless times, and I've never encountered a storm in this month, so it really proves my point, the storm is with people, if he fancy you, he can't get around."

I had nothing to say but let him go, and soon the bumps in the hull became more violent, and then bursts of sea water covered the hull and kept smashing on the cockpit, and the cold sea water kept squeezing into the cabin through the crack in the door, instantly wetting the ground and my body, and the experienced old Qu had already changed into a canvas seafarer's suit, it seems that he deliberately did not give me a trick, so that I suffered a small loss.

But soon I understood that what I had to eat might not be a small loss, because those rushing waves had been so violent that they could press the boat into the bottom of the sea at any time, or overturn it, it felt like riding a roller coaster, suddenly rising up, suddenly diving down, one after another without stopping, I just felt that I was simply floating in the air, my stomach twitched under extreme tension, and for the first time I had the feeling of seasickness, at this time, Lao Qu was not confident, holding the rudder tightly, trying to keep the hull stable, To avoid the disaster of capsizing, but we are like a leaf in a storm at the moment, it is impossible to arrange our own fate, it is only in vain.

I was extremely depressed and said loudly, "You still think you are right? ”

"Now is not the time to discuss right and wrong, we have to work together to get out of here alive."

Before the words fell, a big wave swept towards the hull, only to hear a loud bang, the glass of the cockpit was actually broken, perhaps as the old song said: life and death are destined. A sharp shard of glass slipped through the major artery in his neck, only to see a stream of dark red blood burst out, and it was completely hidden by the influx of seawater, and when this sea water exited the cockpit, there was not even a trace of blood left in it, only Lao Qu's body fell to the ground and slid around the ground in the direction of the hull jolt.

This is the darkest moment for me, I didn't expect the catastrophe to come to me so easily, and I can't care much about it at the moment, I stepped forward and grabbed the rudder, and before I could stand still, I saw through the observation hole that there was no glass and saw a huge wave coming, the terrifying scene made me feel that all thoughts were lost, I could only close my eyes and wait for death, and then I only heard a loud noise, only to feel a violent vibration around me, Then I suddenly found that I didn't know when I was already in a cloud of seawater, panicked I opened my mouth to shout for help, but the bitter and astringent sea water immediately filled my mouth, and then a huge force pressed me underwater, I only felt that my chest was about to be squeezed, I didn't spit out a breath, and I was suddenly suffocated.

I don't know how long it took me to wake up from the sea, and when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the thick black clouds, but the sea was calm, where was I? I couldn't help but feel scared when I thought about it.
