XIII. Storms and Waves at Sea
Wuxian was worried that the prince would not give up on Nanxu, so he took Nanxu to leave the country by boat. The ship had been traveling for a long time, and suddenly there was a storm on the sea, and the ship was even drowned by the waves.
And the sailors were afraid, and every man cried out to his God. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to make it lighter.
Seeing Wuji's frowning, Nan Xu whispered: Childe, what if this ship sinks?
Childe may float from the water to the other side with light power? Traceless said: No. Nan Xu hurriedly said: Childe, what should I do?
Traceless said indifferently: Leave it to fate! Nan Xu was directly speechless. At this time, Nan Xu saw that almost all the people around him were crying and asking for their gods, and the scene was chaotic, but there was a young man wearing the costume of Chaoyang Kingdom, but he was sleeping in his seat.
Nan Xu looked at him in amazement, feeling surprised in her heart! Then the owner of the ship came to the man and said, "Why is this, you sleeper?
Arise and call upon your God! Or God cares for us so that we don't perish! But the young man rolled over and went back to sleep.
The wind and waves continued, and the ship looked like it was about to sink. The people in the ship said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, and see for whose cause this evil has come upon us!"
So they drew lots, and they actually drew this young man. And they said unto him, Tell us, for whose sake this calamity has come upon us?
What do you do for a living? Where are you from? Where are you going? The young man said: I am from the country of Chaoyang, and my country has died due to the invasion of the country of Xishu.
I trust in the LORD God, who created the heavens and the earth, and whoever trusts in Him will not perish, but will be saved!
They asked, "Why does this LORD God cause a storm in the sea?" Will he destroy us? The young man said, "Because the LORD God has appeared to me, that I should go to the land of Sishu to preach the gospel, and that all the people of Sishu should confess their sins and repent, because their murder and bloodshed are so great, and I hate them in my heart, and I will not go and preach the gospel, so I flee by boat to the east and leave the country by the opposite route."
Therefore this storm is upon us, and the LORD God is angry with me. And they were all greatly afraid, and said unto him, What hast thou done?
What shall we do unto thee, that the waves of the sea may be calm? This is because the waves are churning more and more. The young men said to them, "Lift me up and throw me into the sea, and the sea will be still."
I know that this great wind is for my sake. But those men tried to paddle to bring the ship ashore, but they could not.
for the waves were churning against them more and more. And they cried unto the LORD, saying, O LORD, we beseech thee, do not let us die for the life of this man, and do not bring upon us the sin of his bloodshed.
For you, the Lord, do your own will. Then they lifted up the young man and threw him into the sea, and the waves of the sea were calm.
The crowd was shocked. The sailors easily brought the ship to the shore, and everyone went up to the island. Wuxian and Nanxu rested for a while, and saw that there was a boat to Xishu Kingdom stopping on the shore for a while, Gongzi jumped with Nanxu's small body, jumped onto the boat, bought a ticket and went into the cabin.
Nan Su asked in surprise: Childe, aren't we going to the east to leave the country? Why did you jump on the boat to the Potato Country again?
The two countries are going in opposite directions. Childe smiled: Childe, I have temporarily changed my itinerary. Nan Xu said: Childe, our life in Shunkang is very good, why do you want to move to the enemy country?
Without a trace said: Shun Kangguo is no longer safe. Nan Su said: Why? Isn't the emperor very good to us?
Of course she knew why, she just accepted the lessons of the past and deliberately hid it. Childe patted her head with a fan with a smile, and said: The little girl has nothing to do all day, and she gives me flowers and grass everywhere, and if you stay there, you will be snatched away by others.
Nan Xu said aggrievedly: The son has wronged people, and the slave has done nothing. Traceless stopped talking, and a pair of moos shimmered with an incomprehensible brilliance.
He said in his heart: Su'er, you didn't do anything, the four princes and princes all went to compete for you, and when you grow into a country-like face, how many peach blossoms will you provoke?
