Chapter Ninety-Six: Preparing to Go

"Get up and see if you can go?" Shen Lang said as he approached Ah Cheng.

"You don't have to look, you can't go!"

Ah Cheng replied in the affirmative, tilted his head back and closed his eyes.

Shen Lang thought, he has experience, and he knows that there is no way to leave immediately after the typhoon, but it is always better to get up and see if the situation is better, how to provoke him to get up.

Yes, why don't I say the boat he cares about the most, so Shen Lang deliberately said in a loud voice:

"Would you like to see our boat?" I had just heard the sound of something being smashed outside. ”

"Really? Is it really the sound of something being hit?"

Ah Cheng turned over and sat up, and immediately walked out. This time he moved quickly.

Shen Lang couldn't help but want to laugh when he followed behind, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

As soon as he walked outside the cave, Ah Cheng glanced outside, turned around and said to Shen Lang proudly:

"How? I said I can't go, I can't. Look at this wave, does our boat dare to go, can it move, even Zhang Shun doesn't have the ability to send you to Mahuan Island in the waves. ”

When Shen Lang came out first, he hadn't carefully looked at the sea conditions, but now under Ah Cheng's prompting, he looked up:

I saw the white waves surging, the turbid waves empty, the waves of several floors high rushed to the shore, slapping the reef on the shore, splashing a little droplets, flying a hundred meters away, Shen Lang felt a few droplets of water splashing on his face.

Their boat is in such waves, it can't get out if it goes in, and it will be swallowed up in an instant.

Now he understood why Ah Cheng said that he couldn't leave.

"Mr. Shen, have you heard the phrase 'no wind and no waves', the wind does not stop, and the waves do not stop.

"The rain is still second, as long as it's not pouring rain, we can go, but we can't go out to sea with strong winds, it's too dangerous. Let's take a look at the boat. ”

Along the way, branches and broken trees that were blown by the wind were everywhere, and some big trees were uprooted, and round pits appeared on the surface. Seeing that the pit left behind was so big, Shen Lang was afraid to think about it.

Turning two hills, in a harbor, he saw his boat.

The boat is still there, and from the outside, one side of the hull has been struck by some object, and it has been recessed in one place, the size of a hat, but fortunately it has not leaked, and it is not clear what the condition of the things inside is.

The two looked around, and there was no possibility of departure, so they had to return to the cave.

For several days on end, the weather was more or less like this, and the only thing they could do was to be patient.

The boring days are hard, and there is something in the heart but can't do it, which makes people anxious.

The two stayed up for six days, and on the seventh day, the weather finally improved, the sky cleared, the long-lost sun sprinkled on the calm sea again, and the raging sea returned to her gentle side.

The two packed their bags and prepared to go.

Coming out of the cave, Ah Cheng handed the equipment to Shen Lang and said:

"Mr. Shen, you go to the moored boat first, I have to do one more thing before I come. You wait for me. ”

This made Shen Lang wonder, obviously everything was cleaned up, what else did he have, there were things that should be completed by everyone, if there was really something, one person was not as strong as two people, and it was a good thing to have multiple helpers.

Thinking of this, Shen Lang also stopped, turned around and asked:

"Master Cheng, what's the matter? Let's go back together, do it and then leave, it doesn't make sense for me to go if you don't go. ”

"It's not a big deal, I think that we have almost used up the firewood and grass in the cave, and we can't just enjoy it, but we also have to pick up some and bring it back, and others need it when they are in trouble. It's the rule to be at sea all the time. ”

The two of them put their bags at the entrance of the cave and went to look for firewood and hay together.

Hay is not easy to find, but firewood is simple, this time the wind, I don't know how many trees and branches were blown off, it didn't take long, the two picked up a lot of broken branches back, and also put them in the original place where firewood and hay were stored.

After doing all this, they got on board.

Ah Cheng opened the cabin and checked them one by one, and there was nothing damaged or lost.

When the weather improved, everything became simpler, and under Ah Cheng's skillful operation, the boat began to gallop on the blue grassland again like a pony that had healed from its injuries and regained its health.

Due to the typhoon's delay, Ah Cheng traveled day and night except for the necessary rest.

Over mountain after mountain, wading through water after water.

During this time, the weather is very good.

Four days later, after passing the island of the west moon, we were about to arrive at the island of Feixin. On this morning, Ah Cheng said to Shen Lang:

"Mr. Shen, we have to be very careful about the road ahead, in recent years, there have been occasional pirates, and the ships that came over there have been looted four times.

On two occasions, even the official freighter was robbed, so now there are no official freighters on this route.

I haven't encountered it once. But who can guarantee not to run into it?

Listen to the people who have been looted, don't talk to people on this section of the waterway.

Sometimes he doesn't bother you when he sees that you don't talk to you, and the ship is in tatters, so if you take the initiative to talk to them, the boat looks beautiful, and you must suffer. It is said that some of the robbers could speak a few words of Chinese. ”

"Remembered. ”

Shen Lang replied while thinking, what kind of person is this, is it so powerful?

I'm not a bully either. But since Ah Cheng has an explanation, it is better to be careful.

It was close to noon, everything was normal, and not even a single figure was seen. Shen Lang was about to open the cabin and get something out to cook, but Ah Cheng hurriedly stopped him and said:

"Let's put up with it, and in another hour it will be passed, and we will cook later, try to make things as little as possible and delay time. Hurry up. ”

Shen Lang didn't want to encounter any more trouble, grabbed a straw hat from the cabin and put it on his head, and returned to his seat without saying anything.

After about ten minutes, Ah Cheng suddenly let out a low and nervous voice:

"There's a boat!"

Shen Lang looked up and saw that directly in front of them, there was a white dot moving, which should be a boat.

Shen Lang thought to himself, how can he say that he must be a pirate, I'm afraid that Ah Cheng is a bit of a soldier. But it was inconvenient to ask, but I secretly thought in my heart that if it was really a pirate, how to deal with it, I didn't have any weapons with me, and I could only take the opportunity to act at that time.

Ah Cheng saw that the two ships were getting closer and closer, so he took the initiative to avoid to the right.

When it was about fifty meters away, it was already clear that this was a sailboat, twice as big as Ah Cheng's boat, with a huge white sail hanging on it, and it was a southeast wind at this time, and the boat on the opposite side did not use other power, so it should use the power of the sail.

There was a man on the boat, who seemed to be a woman in red, who was holding something in her hand, scraping and wiping her head, her hair brushing her hand at hand, perhaps combing.

When the two boats were about thirty meters apart, the woman in red on the opposite side suddenly shouted a word to Shen Lang, but Shen Lang didn't hear it clearly or understand.

Ah Cheng stared at the front with his eyes fixed, closed his mouth, held the oar with both hands, and just drove forward at full speed, he could see that Ah Cheng was very nervous, I don't know if he didn't hear the woman's words, or didn't dare to talk, anyway, Ah Cheng didn't dare to talk to the woman in red.

At this time, it was completely clear that the woman in red was wearing a pair of jeans, a purple sunhat with flowers in her left hand, and a comb in her right hand.

The woman in red turned her head and said a few words into their cabin, and a middle-aged man popped out of the cabin.
