Chapter 35: A Hurricane Strikes at Sea
Thinking that Boss Huo would wake up soon, Bai Ling'er didn't dare to slack off at all, and walked up the stairs quickly, her head poking out of the deck. In an instant, the three of them reached the bow deck safely.
The night was dark, and apart from the noise of the liquor store and casino in the cabin, it was already quiet outside. With Xiao An's assistance, Bai Ling'er slowly pushed the steel plate, and the warehouse closed in response. Putting the huge copper lock on, Bai Ling'er laughed easily. At the same time, Xiao An and Lan Qiong also showed a smile of relief.
"Thank you for saving me, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity. Lan Qiong was grateful, and her light voice was gentle.
"No, it's just a gesture. The corners of Bai Ling'er's lips raised slightly, and she said happily.
Xiao An pursed his lips and nodded his head as well.
"You saved me" Lan Qiong took off the blue gem from the crown on her head and handed it to Bai Ling'er, saying, "You can take this sapphire, I'm going back to the sea."
There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, Lan Qiong turned around and jumped, and jumped into the dark water.
"See you again!" In the dark, Lan Qiong waved her hand towards Xiao An and Bai Ling'er on the boat.
"See you again!" Koyoshi shouted into the water as well.
Staring at the beautiful sapphire in his hand in surprise, Bai Ling'er was still stunned in place at this time, and only then did she come to her senses in the shouts of Xiao'an, and waved her hand towards the sea.
"Is it beautiful?" Bai Ling'er pinched the sapphire and said happily.
"Beautiful. Xiao An nodded and said with a smile.
"But there is only one, how can we divide it?" the beautiful eyes were slightly curved, and Bai Ling'er asked with a smile.
"I don't need this, so I'd better keep it for Miss Ling'er. "Although the sapphire is delicate and beautiful, it is incomparable, but as an ornament, it doesn't seem to be much of a ** for the boy's little shore.
"Oh?" A flash of joy flashed in her eyes, Bai Ling'er smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm welcome!"
Xiao An and Bai Ling'er, who had been trapped in the warehouse for two days, suddenly returned to the ship and immediately felt refreshed. Facing the sea breeze, Xiao Kian returned to the dormitory first.
In order not to make the captain suspicious, Bai Linger had to return the key to the captain. When he came to the wine shop, the smiling captain was drunk, and beside him was a woman with heavy makeup.
"Captain, Boss Huo asked me to return the key to you. Bai Linger smiled and stretched out the key.
After taking the key, the captain's somewhat fiery gaze fell on Bai Ling'er's body, and swept it unscrupulously from top to bottom.
"Girl, how about a drink together?" said the captain, touching his thick beard.
"Hehe, no need, captain, drink slowly. Bai Ling'er squinted and smiled slyly, and immediately ran out of the hall after speaking.
After spending two days with Bai Ling'er in the warehouse, Xiao An was already familiar with Bai Ling'er. At this time, even if Bai Ling'er slept on his upper bunk, Xiao An did not have the strange estrangement at the beginning, and he no longer slept cautiously because he was afraid of turning over and making noise to Bai Ling'er.
The smug Bai Ling'er was as good as ever, but after experiencing the warehouse being trapped, Bai Ling'er became more friendly to Xiao'an. So before going to bed, don't forget to chat with Xiao'an for a while.
Xiao An and Bai Ling'er, who had never slept well in the warehouse, wanted to sleep for a long time. But just after dawn the next morning, Bai Ling'er was woken up by the continuous shouting, lazily turned his head, glanced at the small bank of the lower bunk, and found that he had also woken up.
"Miss Ling'er, something seems to be going on outside. Xiao An said with some concern.
Xiao An, who woke up earlier than Bai Ling'er, heard the shouts of the sailors outside the ship early in the morning, and after lying on the bed and listening for a while, Xiao An felt more and more that something was wrong, as if something had happened.
"Early in the morning, what can happen? Bai Ling'er twisted her delicate body, and her voice was soft and authentic.
didn't take Xiao'an's words to heart, Bai Ling'er then covered her head and fell asleep.
Xiao An, who was not worried, got up slowly, put on his coat, put on his shoes and walked out. When he pushed open the door of the dormitory, a strong wind rushed in, and Xiao Kishi couldn't help but shiver. The curtain outside the dormitory door was already floating high in the wind. Kogishi walked out with his back to the wind, and then he saw the captain standing high on the lookout. At this moment, the captain's expression was solemn, his two hands were constantly making various professional gestures, and his mouth kept shouting.
Turning his head to look at the deck below, the sailors were struggling to pull the ropes, and the huge sails were moving from side to side.
Sensing something unusual, he looked towards the sea in the distance, and at this time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a little, only to see that the sea in the distance was rolling with stormy waves. His pupils constricted, and Kogishi had a premonition that danger was coming.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiao An woke Bai Ling'er up and told Bai Ling'er everything he had just seen. But after listening to Xiao An's description, Bai Ling'er didn't seem to care.
"Before you reach the sea area, you have to pass through a strait, and it is normal for there to be a little wind and waves in the strait, so you can rest assured that you will continue to sleep, and when you wake up, the ship will have already swam through the strait. Bai Ling'er's body moved, and she didn't wake up with a little girlish charm, she frowned lazily and said lazily.
Hearing Bai Ling'er say this, Xiao An felt that it was not unreasonable, but with his intuition, he still felt uneasy.
The wind was blowing wildly, and the little bank swirled down the gangway, and was about to go to the bow to find out, when a sailor waved his arms violently at him. I saw that the corners of the sailor's mouth kept opening and closing, but I couldn't hear what he was saying, perhaps because of the strong wind, his words were completely blown off by the wind.
He was about to walk up the stairs to the small shore on the deck, but he didn't dare to take a step forward after seeing this. The wind danced wildly, and Xiao Kian covered his face with his arms, squinting slightly, only to see that the corners of the sailor's mouth had been blown out of shape by the wind.
Perhaps sensing that the hull of the ship was beginning to shake, the crowd gathered into the leisure cabin one after another, but after two cups of tea, the leisure cabin was already crowded with people, and their faces were either puzzled or worried, wondering if something had happened.
"What's going on with such a strong wind?" asked a man who had just woken up.
"Why do I think the boat is rocking?" someone asked.
"yes, yes, I was woken up!" said one of them.
"With such a strong wind, nothing will happen to the ship, right?" a slightly muffled voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as the words ended, a commotion ensued, everyone was talking, and the atmosphere in the crowd began to become uneasy. Standing at the front of Xiao'an, I only felt that the crowd was crowded, and my body was constantly being pushed by others, and I had been squeezed into the center of the crowd unconsciously. The crowd of people who wanted to get a glimpse of what was going on outside rushed forward. At this time, Xiao'an was sandwiched in the middle by a dense crowd, and even felt a little difficult to breathe.
The sails were blown violently, and it was already difficult for the sailors to adjust the angle of the sails in the wind, and it took a great deal of effort to move each slight angle, but they were still unstable, and often the adjustment of the past angle was twisted by the strong wind.
In front of him, the sailboat was about to cross the strait and reach the Canglan Sea, but no one expected that the sailboat would suddenly set off such stormy waves just after entering the strait. The captain standing high on the lookout had a grim face, and even he did not expect the sudden wind this time. In the past, when passing through the strait, there were winds and waves, but they were never as huge as they are today.
(In other words, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow or the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow...... )
