Chapter 277: Giving Orders
The young man's voice was calm, implying an undoubted meaning, all the sailors on the ship were stunned for a moment, quickly came back to their senses, and immediately returned to their respective posts, no one was entangled in the whole process whether they should obey the orders of the young man who was not the captain, after all, everyone had already lost their backbone, and the young man had both a calm mind and strong strength, and he stepped forward at the critical moment, and the efficiency of the command was naturally high.
"Turn the bow of the ship and return immediately!"
"Turn the bow of the ship and return immediately!"
"Turn, turn, ship, head, instant, return, sail!"
Amid the shouts of the sailors, the sails changed direction, the steering wheel turned wildly, and the ship, which was still moving at full speed, turned its bow and made a great bend, and sailed in the opposite direction to the looming barrel in the distance.
From the beginning of the turn to the beginning of the return journey, everyone always sweated in their hearts, and after seeing that the direction was reversed, they walked for a while and did not see anything unusual, and they breathed a sigh of relief one after another.
"Full speed ahead!" the young man commanded in a loud voice.
As soon as the words fell, the young man's face was grim.
"Wait!"
The young man was shocked: "What's wrong?"
The boy didn't reply, just a calm look, and then turned to face the crew who were also full of suspicion.
"Slow down!"
The sailors looked at each other, and two people who were also very powerful gave two completely different orders, and they really didn't know who to listen to.
Seeing the young man's solemn expression, the young man came back to his senses, his face changed, and he immediately yelled at the crew.
"Isn't it all pig brains?!"
The order was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, their lives were at stake, and they didn't care about the abuse mixed in the young man's words, the control of the sails, the command of the oars, everything was in order, and the speed of the ship was quickly reduced.
"Is something going on? Dickens. The young man came back to his senses and asked.
"Confirm a conjecture that, if I'm correct, might save our lives. ”
"What conjecture?"
"We'll talk about it later, but it's not clear if it's correct. ”
The boy spoke without looking back, his eyes fixed on the direction of the ship, and in the distance, where ordinary people could not see clearly, there were a few broken planks lying on the surface of the water, and in this stagnant water, it was as if lying on the flat ground, motionless.
Staring at this still life, he couldn't help but think of the picture he had just seen. It was a pair of huge eyes that were very different from ordinary people, poking out of the water to look at this side, and then quickly retracted to the bottom of the water, fleeting without leaving a ripple, so fast that even the young man suspected that it was just a vision of his own grass and trees.
"Stop!"
It was estimated that it was almost over, and the young man gave an order, and the ship gradually stopped.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the bow of the ship.
Apparently, the sailors at the bow also spotted planks floating on the sea.
"And the Beacon Bucket?"
The boy looked at the first mate.
"Yes, yes, you guys, go get the beacon bucket!"
At the urging of the first mate, another huge brightly colored barrel was soon brought up from the bottom of the ship by the sailors.
The boy stepped forward, hugged the barrel with his arms wide open, and after gently moving his steps to find the center of gravity, he lifted the heavy barrel above his head with a lift.
He did this, naturally, not for the sake of grandstanding, and everyone knew it, so they wanted to know what the boy was going to do, so when he saw the boy moving towards the bow of the boat, he hugged him and followed the boy to the bow of the boat.
At the bow of the boat, the young man stepped forward with a lunge, and in the midst of everyone's involuntary exclamations, he threw the barrel far away, and the landing point was exactly where the eyes had just appeared.
All eyes were focused on the barrel, watching it fall to the surface of the water, watching it disappear in an instant.
Suddenly, there was an uproar on board.
"What's going on?"
"Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Did you just see that?"
"No, what about you?"
"I didn't even blink an eye, I still didn't understand!"
“...... We seem to be in trouble!"
"It won't be the same ...... again"
"Isn't that a good thing? Maybe we can go back!"
"In a place like this, it's a good thing, and if we don't meet anything bad, we're lucky!"
"Mr. Dickens, this is ......"
encountered a change again, and the young man couldn't hold on at all now, and when he asked the young man, he involuntarily put down his body and used honorifics.
"Vortex, this is a whirlpool. ”
The boy replied without thinking, and this time he saw it clearly, there was a whirlpool of strong absorption, so strong that the barrel sank so fast that ordinary people could not catch it with the naked eye, and thought that the barrel had suddenly disappeared.
The problem is that, on the one hand, like Fang Cai's eyes, when the barrel sinks, there is no sound of water, no splash, no ripples, and all the natural phenomena that should be present do not appear. On the other hand, such a powerful whirlpool has only one hole in the water that everyone has come to the side of the water that no one has noticed before, and there is no tendency to suck the surrounding seawater into it, which greatly violates the laws of physics. There are so many anomalies, it's really hard to figure it out.
However, there are at least some superficial things for the teenager to figure out, although it is superficial, if it is used to escape, it is enough.
"Most of the boats we just saw in the surfing area were just for photos. The real ship, I'm afraid that's all that's left of these broken planks. ”
The words fell, and the boat was in an uproar again.
"What?"
The young man next to the boy and the first mate spoke in unison, looking at the broken wooden planks not far away in disbelief.
"So, the other sixteen ......"
At this, the young man trembled and could not speak any longer, his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and the first mate next to him was no better, and the sailors who had figured out the joints were full of grief for a while.
Everyone looked desperate, and the young man frowned.
"Cheer up! If you continue to give up on yourself like this, you will lose hope by you! Don't cry wolf, go back to your place, hurry up!"
The young man's words were not unreasonable, and it seemed that there was a way to deal with it, and his calm posture and the courage of such an extraordinary existence as the Great Knight still injected a shot of strength into everyone.
Everyone returned to their posts and looked at the boy again.
The rabble, the young man rubbed his forehead and sighed secretly.
"Mr. Cutkens, you have to save me!" the young man relieved himself and grabbed the boy with one hand, "as long as you save me, I will let my father arrange you the best position, by the way, in addition, I will reward you with a big prize!
The young man shook off the young man's hands with a sharp face.
"I try. ”
After replying to this, he ignored the young man and turned to look at the first mate.
"Carry all the unnecessary supplies on board to the deck. Then tie a wooden plank that stretches forward in the bow of the boat, so strong that it can at least eat three people standing at the end of the extended plank. Do you understand?!"
The young man shouted for the last time, and the first mate subconsciously stood up.
"Understood!"
"Go ahead and do it. The boy waved.
"Yes!"
The first mate responded, turned his head and commanded the sailors.
Everyone rushed in an orderly manner, and under the pressure of death, the newly formed crew members aroused a tacit understanding between the old partners, and soon, barrel after barrel, box after box of supplies, were placed on the deck, and a wooden plank sticking out of the bow of the ship was also firmly fastened.
By this time, the boy had already tied a hemp rope around his waist, and the other end was tied to the mast, and then, under the watchful gaze of everyone, he steadily came to the front end of the plank hanging in the air.
"Listen to me! Left full rudder! Speed, one section!"
When he came here, the boy glanced ahead and then turned around and shouted, his demeanor was unobtrusive, full of confidence, and everyone was in high spirits.
"Left full rudder! speed, one section!"
"Left full rudder! speed, one section!"
"Left, full, rudder, sailing, speed, one!" section!"
When the command reached the stern of the ship, everyone did not hesitate at all, and immediately divided their labor, and the hull of the ship began to slowly turn forward.
At this moment, the boy looked at one of the crew members, pointed to a wine barrel beside him, and beckoned.
The man understood, and immediately stepped onto the plank with the barrel in his arms, and then handed it to the oncoming young man.
"First mate, arrange for the crew to look out at the side of the ship to prevent mutations!"
"Yes!"
After the order was given, the boy returned to the front of the plank with the barrel in his arms.
This barrel of wine weighed about the weight of an ordinary person, plus the boy, although the wooden board squeaked, but there was no sign of breaking, the boy observed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Uncork the barrel and pour the wine out of the sips. Under the jaw-dropping gaze of everyone, the young man poured back and forth from side to side with the barrel in his arms, staining the water in front of the bow of the ship with grape color.
"Right full rudder!speed, two sections!" the young man shouted without looking back.
Everyone was stunned, came back to their senses, and immediately hurriedly continued their original work.
"Right full rudder! speed, two sections!"
"Right full rudder! speed, two sections!"
"Right, full, rudder, sailing, speed, two!" knot!"
No one but the boy saw that the bow narrowly avoided a hole where he was frantically sucking wine, and it was another whirlpool.
"It's much clearer to see that way. ”
The boy nodded, muttering softly to himself, the barrel in his hand still pouring wine of a very different color from the sea.
