Chapter 354: Snow Flying in April
On the third day, when he was still sleeping, he was woken up from a grogginess by Bai Qianyu.
"Wei Xiao, Wei Xiao, wake up!" she called in his ear, as if in a dream.
Wei Xiao's eyelids were pushed hard, and she finally woke up.
Layers of purple protective aura rose from his body, burning like flames.
"What's wrong with me?" he moved slightly, propping up his upper body, but his voice was dry and hoarse, and his whole body was weak.
Bai Qianyu took a bowl of hot water, fed him two sips, and said: "It's snowing, I added a quilt for you, but you still seem to be afraid of the cold, and your body automatically ignites spiritual power to keep yourself out of the cold, I thought you would be better like this, but after two days, you burned more and more spiritual power, but you didn't wake up, I was a little scared, so I shook you awake!"
A green blade head stretched out next to it: "I just said it, if the cultivator burns his own spiritual power to keep out the cold, the injuries on his body will heal very slowly, Wei Xiao's face is so bad, he slept for two days and two nights, but there is no sign of improvement at all!"
Next to him, a fluffy red fox's head arched, squeaked twice, and looked at Wei Xiao with two big dark round eyes without blinking, with a concerned look.
"I'm fine. Wei Xiao said in a hoarse voice, stretched out a hand to touch the little fox's head, and then touched the head of the clover, his hand was about to touch Bai Qianyu's face, but Bai Qianyu grabbed a handful with both hands and stuffed it under the quilt: "You are seriously injured and have not healed, and the protection of your body is particularly weak, be careful of freezing!"
She gave a hard lesson.
Wei Xiao's pale face had a hint of a smile.
"Still laughing!" Bai Qianyu gave him a blank look.
Wei Xiao was still smiling, but she was about to get up: "Where does the snow come from on the sea? β
"How can that work?" Bai Qianyu hurriedly held him down: "I don't feel at ease when you go out like this." β
"I'll just take a look," Wei Xiao looked at her with some begging: "Qianyu, I slept for two days, and I was stuffy!"
"That'...... Okay!" Bai Qianyu sighed in her heart, she thought she was a very principled person, but when she saw Wei Xiao's appearance, she couldn't help but obey him-if the two of them became a family in the future, wouldn't she be eaten to death by Wei Xiao? Thinking of this, her face was burning, and she quickly coughed twice, and secretly cursed herself in her heart.
Wei Xiao pushed away the quilt and sat up, Bai Qianyu suddenly said: "Wait!" rubbed the ring, used the "disguise" function of the nine-ring ring to turn the white fox fur on his body into a men's black fox fur, took it off and put it on Wei Xiao's body, and then instructed the clover and the little fox: "You look at him!"
Shamrock and Little Fox nodded their heads.
Wei Xiao hurriedly took off the black fox fur and put it back on Bai Qianyu's body: "I am a person with spiritual power to protect my body, where am I afraid of the cold? It's you, on such a cold day, without this, I'm going to freeze!"
Bai Qianyu couldn't give in, so he had to say: "Then stay outside for a while and come back, don't let the cold enter your body." β
The three of them nodded together.
Clover and the little fox, one is a heavenly spirit plant, and the other is a natural spirit beast, both have sufficient spiritual power to protect their bodies, they are not afraid of the cold, and as soon as they got the opportunity to come out to play, they immediately hugged Wei Xiao happily and walked out.
As soon as Wei Xiao walked out of the door, he was immediately chilled by the oncoming cold wind, and his body was soaked in cold for a moment.
On the bow deck, there were a few people standing early, Wei Xiao walked over, and saw that it was Jiang Laoqiu, Jian Qi, Lao Lu, Chang Sheng, Zhu Yi and a few of them.
Several people changed their clothes and wrapped them so thickly that they didn't recognize them for a while.
"It's so cold this day!" Seeing him coming over, Lao Lu was the first to say hello: "Little Brother Wei didn't recuperate in the house, why did he run out?"
As soon as he spoke, white gas came out of his mouth.
"It's stuffy in the house, so come out and take a walk. Wei Xiao responded with a smile, his eyes turned, and fell on his hands, Lao Lu pressed his hands in his arms, and a thick lump bulged out of his arms, Wei Xiao said curiously: "What is this?"
Lao Lu pulled it into his arms, took out a bulging deerskin water bag under his coat, and said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed to say that I'm old, and I have to rely on this thing to decorate some hot water to keep out the cold." β
"It's unusually cold, it's much better to have this thing!" Wei Xiao said.
"Yes, it's the abnormality of the cold, so let's all come out and see, what's going on?" Jiang Laojiao took over the conversation, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, but he didn't light it, but just knocked the side of the boat: "Brother Wei, you see, there is ice on the side of this ship, if it is the weather, it's only April, I've been out to sea for so many years, and I've never seen snow in April!"
With the crack of the smoking gun, the thin layer of ice on the side of the ship made a hard sound and shattered into a few cracks.
Wei Xiao pondered for a moment: "...... our route?"
"Our course has been corrected, all the way to the east," this time he answered his voice at the stern of the ship, and when a few people turned around, they saw a white coat slowly rising up the stairs at the stern, and then approached: "I went to the needle room just now to inspect, and found that our ship not only did not go north, but some went south, that is, its current direction is southeast." β
The person who came was Mo Guiyun.
He is still dressed in thin white, and others feel cold and panicked for him, but he himself looks unaware.
Wei Xiao was a little surprised: "Mo Gongzi...... Aren't you cold?"
This is the first time he has called Mo Guiyun "Mo Gongzi", although it is polite, it is much closer than the estrangement between the two before.
Since the two fought under the sea and fought together against the sea and moon jellyfish, there was a sense of sympathy for each other, and the original unfamiliarity and vigilance have disappeared a lot.
Mo Guiyun turned his gaze and glanced at him: "I have never been a person who is afraid of the cold, the colder it is, the more energetic it is." β
The cold wind lifted his white clothes, and his lacquered hair and white clothes fluttered in the wind, standing tall and tall, like a jade tree facing the wind, adding more and more dust.
"I looked at that scroll of navigation," Mo Guiyun turned his head to Jiang Laoqiu, "If the ocean current recorded in the scroll has not changed its direction until now, then our current position is very likely to have entered a cold current." β
"Cold Snap?!" several people looked at him and lost their voices.
Only Jiang Lao's eyes sank, and every wrinkle in the corner of his eyes wrinkled deeply.
He subconsciously put the unlit cigarette gun into his mouth, and "chirped" for a moment, looking like he was thinking.
"Our original course was to go to Luoxing Island, the island is like spring all year round, flowers are blooming, I heard that there is a warm current passing by, but now how did it enter a cold current?"
His brows furrowed deeply, and he glanced at Jiang Lao, who didn't speak: "Old turtle, what do you think?"
"Uncle Old Turtle?" Seeing that Jiang Lao Turtle didn't answer for a long time, Jian Qi hit him with his arm.
"Hmm......" Jiang Lao Turtle came back to his senses from his contemplation and responded: "This problem is serious." β
"What's wrong?" the others hurriedly asked.
"If I think well," Jiang Lao Turtle said slowly: "Since the rudder of our ship was smashed by the red shark, it deviated from the course, and then encountered the magnetic mountain on the bottom of the sea, and the needle was lost, we were like a blind man touching an elephant, looking at the sun during the day and the stars at night and moving forward for a while, obviously heading in the direction of due east, but unknowingly being swept into this cold snap, and the direction was southeast!"
Jian Qi sneezed and said, "No wonder it's getting colder and colder, it turned out to be a cold snap!"
Lao Lu hurriedly interrupted him: "Xiao Qi, don't disagree!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Lao Turtle, only to hear him continue: "A cold current is nothing serious, everyone on the ship is a master of some cultivation level, although they didn't bring any warm clothes for a while, but they can also carry it, but only this cold current is different from the usualββ"
When he said this, he paused and said no more.
Everyone hurriedly said: "Old turtle speak quickly!"
Jiang Lao Turtle raised his eyes to Mo Guiyun: "Young Master Mo, what is the name of this cold snap you saw on that nautical scroll?"
Everyone moved their gaze to Mo Guiyun again.
Mo Guiyun said: "Kuroshio." β
"Black Tide?" Before Jiang Lao Turtle could speak, Lao Lu was the first to speak in surprise.
"What, you also know about Kuroshio?" Zhu Yi said curiously.
Lao Lu nodded heavily, and slowly spoke: "It was very early, I was still young at that time, when the Zhenglan Empire had a navy to explore the East Pole Sea and recruit migrant workers and sailors who were doing miscellaneous work on military ships, I was still young and vigorous at that time, and I wanted to go to such a far place, it must be fun to have fun, maybe if I was lucky, I could also fish for a lot of holy products from the far sea, and bring back a shark with a big chest and a thin waist, and I applied." β
Zhu Yi's eyes were about to fall out when he heard this: "Old Lu, Brother Lu, do you still have such a crazy time?"
Lao Lu smiled bitterly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes: "Who hasn't had a youthful and enthusiastic time?"
Several people nodded silently when they listened.
Lao Lu touched the deerskin water bag in his arms, and said: "I was thinking about how exciting and fun the expedition to the sea was, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the night before, so I went to the Huaichun Courtyard in the town to find a girl," paused: "Well, it's also in this Dongyao town." β
Zhu Yi listened attentively and urged: "Speak quickly, speak quickly! Are you in the dark tide?"
Lao Lu sighed: "No." β
Zhu Yi said strangely: "After you went to sea, you didn't encounter the Black Tide?"
Lao Lu shook his head: "That time, I didn't go to sea at all, to be precise, I overslept and didn't go to sea." β
"This ......" Zhu Yi's mouth suddenly opened wide.
On the contrary, Chang Sheng smiled "hehe": "Lao Lu was strong in blood at that time, he must have been fascinated by that girl, and he did his homework on that girl, and the next morning his waist and knees were sore, and he couldn't get up!"
"That's not ......" Lao Lu coughed dryly twice, and an old face rarely showed a hint of shame: "I was very excited that night, so I blew the cow with the girl for most of the night, telling the heroic story of my usual going to sea, telling and telling, the girl was very angry, whenever I talked about the important and wonderful places, I blinked a pair of big watery eyes and asked me, 'What's wrong?' and then what?'' 'You are a hero!' I forgot about my form, and the more I talked, the more excited I became, but then I somehow became tired, and I fell asleep at once, and when I woke up, I had already reached three poles in the sun, and missed the time of departure. But I still had one in ten thousand hopes, thinking that they would count the numbers and find that I was not there, or that they would wait for me, and then ran madly to the docks, only to find that there was no sign of the warship for a long time. β
Speaking of this, his face was full of remorse.
Zhu Yi said: "Lao Lu, do you regret that you overslept and missed the warship?"
Chang Sheng smiled "hehe": "He regrets missing the girl named Chun'e." β
Zhu Yi was surprised: "What?"
Guo heard Lao Lu say with a hint of anger coming back: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, so I blamed the fault of oversleeping on the girl's head, and I never went to her again, until I heard more than half a month later that the military ship I missed actually encountered the Black Tide and was wiped out!"
He said with palpitations: "When I heard the news, my legs were frightened, and I lay on the ground and kowtowed to the sky more than a dozen times, glad that I didn't board the military ship!"
