Chapter 221: Sailing out to sea

For more than ten days, the people of the Canal Gang fled in panic, starved, and had a rare full meal, all of them were drunk, and fell into a deep sleep. At night, several people took turns keeping vigil outside the temple.

On the second day, the sun rose, and someone had already boiled mutton soup, and everyone had a full meal and went down the mountain separately.

Before the appointed date, all the brothers had gathered in Niejiatan Village, on the seaside of Ningbo. The four big boats supervised by Wang Wufeng have been moored on the bank of the North River. It turned out that Wang Wufeng bought four large boats with silver, dragged them to the shore, and hired workers to overhaul the big boats, paint them, and expose them to the sun.

The date had come, all the brothers had arrived, hired sailors, firecrackers sounded, and sailed out to sea.

Four large boats, in turn, sailed east along the North River. In a short time, we were on the sea. But see the rippling blue waves, the green island towering, and the white birds flying. Many people are going to sea for the first time, and they are standing on the bow of the boat, pointing and pointing, excited, looking at the sky, the smoke and waves are vast, and the water and sky are endless. The big ship was bubbling and bumpy with the waves, and a few people couldn't help but get dizzy, so they hurriedly lay down on the board, closing their eyes and not daring to look around.

The ship headed east, and after five or six days and nights, the islands became scarcer and scarcer, and the sea was vast and immense, and the waves were so big that the hull of the ship shook incessantly, and some of them simply hid in the cabins, not daring to show their faces, and several of them began to vomit.

The sea breeze blows, the waves are like mountains, and the big ship is involuntarily, like a leaf, rising and falling in the crests and valleys of the waves. There were fewer people watching the ship, and a few regretted coming to the sea, thinking that if the ship sank, how could they swim ashore?

On this day, the sun was shining, the waves were calm, and everyone walked to the bow of the boat to watch. I saw a large flock of white waterfowl flying densely in the sky, and everyone stretched their necks to look. Soon, the flock of white birds flew closer.

But these white birds were not like birds, but like fish, and they fell into the sea, and suddenly they jumped up and flew forward. After flying for a while, he fell into the water again, jumped again, slid forward, and came to the side of the ship in the blink of an eye.

"Is this a fish or a bird?" someone shouted.

Wang Wufeng said: "This is a fish." ”

"How can a fish fly?"

Wang Wufeng said: "You see, there is a group of sharks chasing it behind, and it flies up to dodge. ”

Sure enough, there was a school of big sharks behind the flying fish. The shark chased after him, opened its mouth with huge teeth, and bit at a group of flying fish, which had nowhere to escape in the water, so he had to leap up and slide forward for a while, and the shark bit in the air.

"I didn't expect that there was such an amazing thing in the sea. I've never heard of it before. ”

"Isn't it, it's worth the adventure at sea. ”

There are no sunny days. On this morning, the sky was dark. Leng Yuhu, Huang Buyuan, Zhang Guangzhen, Wang Wufeng and others stood at the bow of the ship, discerning the direction and directing the big ship to sail forward.

Wang Wufeng hurriedly gave an order, the big wind and waves were coming, and the four boats were close together to prevent them from being swept away by the waves.

As soon as the four great ships were gathered together, a strong wind blew from the sea. The sails were pulled down, ready for the wind.

Soon, the sea breeze was howling, the waves were surging, and the tall waves and mountains were pressing towards the big ship. The waves tossed the big boat up and down like a plaything. Leng Yuhu and the others stood on the bow of the boat, directing everyone to avoid the wind and waves.

Song Wang Mo stood aside. It's dark, and it's overwhelming. Leng Yuhu was turning his head to shout to Song Wang Moth:

"Hide in the cabin. ”

A huge wave hit, the hull of the ship capsized, and the Song Wang Moth was overturned and fell into the sea, as if hearing an "ah" sound, but was drowned in the stormy waves.

Suddenly, a figure also raised his body and rushed into the waves like a mountain.

That's Cao Weiyong.

Leng Yuhu saw it, jumped up, but "snapped" and fell on the board. It turned out that Wang Wufeng grabbed one of his feet in time.

"Let me save her. Leng Yuhu shouted.

The tsunami was blowing in the mountains outside the boat, where there were still traces of Song Wang Moth and Cao Weiyong.

Leng Yuhu roared and broke free of Wang Wufeng's hands. He was about to jump, but his whole body was held by four or five people, and he overturned on the board of the boat, unable to move. The people who hugged him were Zhang Jinhua, Huang Buyuan, Zhang Guangzhen, and Ao Han and others. pressed him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Let me save her......"

So weak that he couldn't even hear himself.

Storms come and go fast. In less than half an hour, the sea was not rippling. The sea and sky are vast, and the sky is wide in all directions, this time I really lost the Song King Moth!

Leng Yuhu stood at the bow of the boat, wanting to cry without tears.

After this storm, the three boats were gone. The ship had to wait in place. It wasn't until the third day that the three boats came in one after another. But Song Wang Mo and Cao Weiyong have not returned.

Leng Yuhu hadn't eaten a little food all night, drank a sip of water, and everyone took turns to persuade him. At most, he could only say two or three sentences.

The big ship waited here for two more days. Song Wang Mo and the two still did not come back.

Leng Yuhu has been standing on the bow of the ship for several days, looking at the sky from afar, like a statue, motionless and silent. No one could persuade him, so they had to change shifts and stay next to him.

There is not a single island on the sea, and the sea is vast and boundless. It's been three or four days, and the chances of Song Wang Moth surviving are slim.

Wang Wufeng secretly ordered the ship to sail. The four ships sailed east in turn.

Leng Yuhu suppressed his grief, he knew that waiting here was useless, and the sailing career of the heroes and heroes on the four ships would continue, so he felt that the ship was sailing, and he didn't say a word.

The brothers persuaded him and pushed him into the cabin. Seeing that Leng Yuhu no longer had the will to die, everyone walked out of the cabin and let him stay in the bilge alone and be quiet. Everyone believes that after a long time, his grief will slowly get better.

On the vast ship, only Wang Wufeng had experience in sailing the far sea, and he commanded the ship to sail towards the place where the sun rose. The sun rises and the moon sets, the sun sets and the moon rises, and it has been sailing on the sea for more than ten days.

On this day, when the sun is at its peak, a mountain island rises above the sea in the distance. Leng Yuhu and Wang Wufeng stood at the bow of the boat, discussing rowing the boat to the mountain island and replenishing fresh water on the island. At the sound of an order, the small flag waved repeatedly, and the signal was issued, and four large boats rowed towards the mountain island. When they heard that they were going to the mountain island, the people who were hiding in the cabin insisted on climbing out of the cabin, and when they saw the mountain island in front of them, they felt steady, and the seasickness phenomenon in the past ten days was suddenly alleviated a lot.

The four boats slowly rowed towards the mountain island, which was surrounded by a silver sand beach, and the big boat stopped. Looking at the mountain island, the north and south are long, like a green dragon lying on the blue waves, there are two peaks straight into the clouds. The small boat was put down on the big boat, and the owner of Zhang Guangzhen led some people to stay on the boat and guard the boat, while the rest of the people got on the boat under the leadership of Leng Yuhu and Wang Wufeng and rowed towards the island. The boat soon ran aground, and the group jumped out of the boat, jumped into the water, and walked towards the shore.

On the edge of the island there is a wide white sand beach, which is washed by the waves and is smooth and clean, shining silver. Everyone walked onto the beach, the sand was soft and silent, leaving some messy footprints on the flat sand.

"There is an ambush,......" someone screamed.

The crowd hurriedly drew their weapons and stared in the direction of the man's finger. Beneath the dense forest, a black behemoth slowly crawled out of the grass.

"That's a turtle. Wang Wufeng said.

Everyone put their hearts at ease, and looked at the turtle, which was as big as a small boat, crawling stupidly, and there was no danger, and then slowly gathered away.

"Such a big tortoise!" some exclaimed.

"Be careful, don't get swallowed by it. ”

The crowd cautiously approached. The turtle also saw the comer, stopped, did not panic, it held high, opened its round eyes, and looked at the comer.

"It doesn't bite, does it?" someone asked.

"No, it won't. Wang Wufeng replied.

One man ran up to the front with courage and reached out his long hand to touch the turtle's nose, which retracted. The man had the courage to go around behind the turtle and slowly crawl on the turtle's back. The turtle was frightened and hurried into the sea, but the man was frightened and hurried to the beach. The crowd burst into laughter.

"Catch it and roast its flesh tonight. ”

His words were not answered, and the people were still afraid of this behemoth, and they respected it like a god. Get out of the way and watch the big turtle run into the water with its head held high and disappear.

Then the people turned around, drew their swords and walked into the mountains. There are obviously no people in the mountains, the grass is scattered, and the trees are thick. Everyone overcame obstacles and struggled forward. After walking less than a mile, he saw a path and looked at the footprints, which were not trodden by wild beasts, but by human footprints.

There are obviously people on the island, either the islanders, or the Japanese who have come.

The crowd stood still, holding their breath, searching everywhere, but there was no movement, only the chirping of seabirds, the rustle of the sea breeze through the trees, and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. If they don't see the enemy, did they see someone coming and lay in ambush in the deep forest?

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and everyone covers each other and walks step by step towards the depths of the dense forest.

Walking into the col, the terrain is getting more and more open, the trees are scarce, and the shallow grass is covered with some small purple flowers, which makes people forget that it is winter.

Still no trace of the enemy was found. Everyone continued to move forward, but they saw a grass hut in front of them, Leng Yuhu made a look, and everyone scattered, alert to the enemy's sneak attack. There was no movement for a long time.

Leng Yuhu walked towards the grass shed with his sword, listening carefully, there was no abnormal sound in the grass shed. When he got closer, he pushed open the wooden door, and there was a simple bed made of a few logs, and some hay on top of it, and there was nothing left on the walls. Leng Yuhu stood in the grass hut, imagining what life its owner would like.

After a long time, I walked out and met everyone.

Leng Yuhu said: "There must be people on this island, they are in the dark, everyone should be careful, don't fall for the plot." ”

So they went in groups of two, centered on the grass hut, and scattered in all directions to find it. Suddenly, I heard a sound of "ah......", some people screamed, and the rest of the people hurriedly stopped, not daring to move.

After a while, "Come on, save me." The scream sounded again, and the people hurried towards the shout, and a deep pit appeared in the dense grass, and they ran cautiously to the pit, and one fell into the pit, which was evidently a trap dug by someone.

Someone cut off a branch and pulled the man up. There is such a big commotion here, and the enemy has not yet appeared. Look at the trap, the walls are smooth, there are no new marks, it doesn't look like it was newly dug. Craned his neck out, but the enemy did not appear. Everyone gathered together and walked towards the forest, taking every step carefully for fear of falling into the trap again.

I turned around the col and found no trace. There was no river here, so we discussed going over the mountains and looking for water elsewhere first.

Walking up the hill and looking ahead, in another col, a small river meanders.

Leng Yuhu said: "Let's go to the river and fill some water, and then leave quickly." Don't linger on this island. ”

Everyone scattered. A timid man followed last, suddenly heard a "whirring" sound behind his head, he was originally timid, always paying attention to the movement behind him, but now he heard a strange noise behind him, instinctively rushed forward and threw himself on the ground, a figure rushed out of the dense grass, brandished a knife and slashed at him. The man was still clever, and rolled on the ground a few times, dodging the knife, and then shouted:

"Someone's coming......"

Leng Yuhu and the others heard the cry for help and hurriedly ran back, but the person who came couldn't dodge, so they simply raised their knives and slashed over. Leng Yuhu and the others allowed him to be reckless alone, everyone surrounded him, and after a few moves, they subdued him.

Leng Yuhu asked, "Who are you?"

The man asked, "Who are you?"

Leng Yuhu said: "We passed by here and took some fresh water to the boat, and we didn't have any bad intentions." ”

"I see. ”
