Chapter 512: Ghost Ship
Yu Yuanxuan was a little sleepy after drinking the medicine.
Xiao Ti picked her up and put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
Yu Yuan closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Xiao Ti looked at her quietly, eager to ask what surprise she had prepared? If she is short of money, he can give it to her.
But in the end, he held back and didn't ask.
Because he knew that once he asked, he would definitely be unhappy.
Xiao Ti stretched out his hand, helped her gently brush away the broken hair on her forehead, and asked in an inaudible voice.
"You've gone to such great lengths to prepare a surprise for me, proving that you actually have me in your heart, right?"
Yu Yuanxuan was already asleep, so naturally he would not give any response.
The merchant ships left the ferry and made their way gently along the river.
For five days in a row, it was uneventful.
It wasn't until the sixth day that it suddenly began to rain, and the river rose.
Wang Yue reminded everyone that there was a dangerous shoal ahead, and asked everyone to be more careful.
The river in front of us was getting narrower, and the speed of merchant ships was getting slower.
But after the merchant ship turned a corner, the river suddenly became turbulent.
The hull of the boat shook violently with the river.
The wheelchair that Yu was sitting in slid out, but fortunately, Xiao Ti grabbed the wheelchair quickly, which prevented her from falling down with the wheelchair.
Xiao Ti asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Yu Yuan tightly tugged on the armrest of the wheelchair, and her heart was terrified.
"I'm fine."
She looked out the porthole and saw that the river was lined with rocky cliffs.
Strong winds and rain poured in through the windows.
The spring breeze and night rain scrambled to close the windows.
The waves crashed against the hull of the boat with a violent sound.
The boatmen shouted in unison and paddled desperately, and the captain clung to the steering wheel, trying to keep the merchant ship in the direction and careful to avoid the reef hidden beneath the river.
The merchant ships shook more and more.
Wang Yue clung to the rope and shook it along the hull of the boat.
The rain drenched his whole body, but he didn't even have time to wipe his face.
For he found that the merchant ship was going in a direction that had deviated from its intended course, and that if it had followed this direction, the ship would have crashed into the rock wall on the shore.
He let out a cry of horror.
"I'm going to collide, turn around!"
The captain turned the steering wheel hard, but to no avail.
He roared in the face of the wind and rain.
"It's too windy today and the boat is out of control!"
Xiao Ti noticed that something was wrong, and he said to Yu Yuan.
"You stay in the house and don't move, I'll go outside and have a look."
"Hmm."
Xiao Ti left in a hurry.
The spring breeze and the night rain clung to the wheelchair under Yu Yuan's body, so that she would not slip out again.
When Xiao Ti ran to the deck, he found that Wei Xiao, Yan Nanguan, and Luo Pingsha were also there.
The wind and rain were blowing in their faces, wetting their clothes.
But no one cares about it at this time.
Their full attention is on the front.
There is a rock wall ahead, and if the merchant ship continues to move forward, it will soon collide.
In that case, the whole ship is finished!
The captain roared hoarsely, urging the boatmen to work harder.
However, the boatmen tried their best, but still had little success.
Xiao Ti immediately made a decision and ordered the eagle guards to join the ranks of the boatmen and help them row together.
At this critical juncture, Wei Yu didn't talk nonsense, he asked the Sky Wolf Guard to help as well.
With the help of so many people, the speed of the merchant ship has finally slowed down.
However, at this moment, the wind and rain suddenly became stronger.
The river made huge waves with the wind, and the water crashed on the deck, and the hull shook violently, and the people on the deck were almost thrown out.
The captain shouted; "Lower all the sails!"
After asking the position of the sail, Xiao Ti immediately performed a light skill and flew onto the clubhead.
He grabbed the long pole in one hand and untied the rope in the other.
Brush it up!
The sails fell sharply.
Luo Pingsha and Yan Nanguan caught the rope underneath and tied it firmly to the ground hook.
At the same time, Wei Xiao also flew to the other club head with the help of light power and lowered the sail.
By the time all the sails had been lowered, the hull had finally become much smoother.
The rain is still falling, and the wind has not stopped.
But with the concerted efforts of the people, the merchant ship had changed direction and returned to its intended route.
Seeing this, Wang Yue let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally survived.
He had never been so fortunate at this moment, fortunately he invited King Langjun and the others to board the ship, otherwise they would definitely be killed today.
However, before Wang Yue could relax for long, he suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Look, there's a ship ahead!"
Wang Yue was taken aback.
At this time, the only ships that will appear here are the bandits.
It can't be a water bandit who came to rob it, right?
He raised his hand to wipe the water from his face, and looked ahead with wide eyes.
Through the wind and rain, I really saw a fluttering boat in front of me.
Looking at the size of the ship, even if there were really bandits on board, there would definitely not be many of them, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
There are still so many Eagle Guards and Sky Wolf Guards behind Wang Yue.
He immediately gained confidence, turned his head and asked Xiao Ti.
"Your Royal Highness, what do you think?"
Xiao Ti also saw the boat, and replied casually: "Lean over and take a look." ”
If it's really a water bandit, he doesn't mind taking it upon himself to eliminate harm for the people.
The merchant ship slowly approached the boat, and it happened that the wind and rain were much lighter at this time.
Without the rain obstructing, not only did the merchant ship become stable, but everyone's vision became much clearer.
Wang Yue craned his neck to look over, but saw that the boat was empty.
He was surprised: "How can there be no one?" ”
The boat often went back and forth on this river, and he couldn't help but change his face when he remembered the rumors he had heard.
"This can't be a ghost ship, right?"
Wang Yue was taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense, where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?!" ”
The captain's face turned pale: "I heard that the ghost ship appears especially in this kind of stormy time, and anyone who sees it will suffer misfortune." ”
Seeing that he had a nose and eyes, Wang Yue was even more frightened.
Wang Yue said to Xiao Ti tremblingly.
"Your Royal Highness, why don't we leave that ship alone?"
Even if there are a lot of Eagle Guards and Sky Wolf Guards on their ship, they can't fight the ghosts!
Xiao Ti doesn't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.
He asked Yan Nanguan to take a few people to see what was going on with that small boat?
Yan Nanguan was immediately ordered to leave.
There is a spare boat in the warehouse under the merchant ship.
Yan Nanguan left in a small boat with a few eagle guards.
The captain stretched out his hand and took out the amulet from his bosom, held it tightly to his heart, and kept reciting Amitabha Buddha silently, praying for the Buddha's blessing.
Wang Yue was scared to death, but he couldn't help but look at the boat, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.
Maybe it's really a ghost ship that is rumored to bring misfortune to people!
It didn't take long for Yan Nanguan to return with the Eagle Guards.
He also had a bloodied arrow in his hand.
"There was really no one on that ship, but there was a lot of blood on board, and this arrow was brought back from that ship by a subordinate."
