Chapter 63: The Dark Tide Rises (2)
After hearing this, Ah Wei was no longer entangled, took off her shoes, climbed into bed, closed the window of the couch, and spread out the quilt and fell asleep.
The night was quiet, and Ah Wan soon fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of the bed shaking. She opened her eyes in confusion and looked over to the couch, only to find that Shadow was no longer there.
She forced herself to compose, only to realize that it wasn't the bed that was rocking, but the boat. She was a little surprised, and hurriedly got up, trying to open the window to look outside, when Ah Wei heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Ah Wei turned around and found that it was a shadow, so she stopped opening the window and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"The waves in the sea are surging upwards and loud, and they have risen so high that they will drown to the dwellings of the soldiers on the beach." ”
Ah Wei frowned for a while: "Is this the rising tide?"
Ying said: "Probably, I haven't been to the sea either, I just felt the boat shaking, and I went out without permission because I was worried that something would happen to the girl." ”
Ah Wei waved her hand and sighed: "No wonder we have to come to the ship to adapt in advance, this turbulent night is really scary." ”
Shadow asked, "Is the girl okay?"
Ah Wan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "There are a lot of people who have been woken up outside?"
Ying nodded: "Many people couldn't sleep because they didn't eat dinner, and after a room of complaining and gossiping, they suddenly found the boat rocking, and they rushed to the deck with candles in fright. ”
Ah Wan imagined the scene for a moment: "It was really lively. ”
Shadow asked, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"
Ah Wei said: "I'm not interested in the complaints and panic outside, let's open the window and listen to the sound of the rising tide." ”
With that, he pushed open the window on the couch, and then the sound of the boiling sea water reached the house in bursts, and with the shaking of the boat, it was a bit deafening.
Ah Wei looked at the dark and dreary sea, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's the sound of the rising tide that is so terrifying. What if there is a storm at sea?"
Shadow was about to answer when a large wave came, and the boat shook violently, and the two candles resting on the top of the bronze frame suddenly fell. It was only a matter of moments, and Shadow only had time to let out an exclamation.
When she heard the exclamation, she turned her head, and saw two candles rolling on the floor with the swaying of the boat, and they were quickly extinguished. However, Ah Wei couldn't help but be afraid for a while. She said thoughtfully: "This flying boat is said to be made of 10,000-year-old cold wood, strong and waterproof, but all things are mutually reinforcing, but this ship is extremely afraid of open fire. If this oil candle is not put away, I am afraid that it will cause a great disaster. ”
Ah Wei thought a lot, the houses on this ship are separated by wooden planks, if there is really a fire, it is one after another, although the ship is in the sea, but the hull is no longer in the sea, if there is a fire, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive.
It seems that the water on the ship is the key to lifeblood. Drinking, washing, pulping, washing, washing, making soup, and even putting out fires. This time, there were as many as 3,000 boys and girls, plus the servants and hundreds of workers, even if most of the space on the flying boat was used to hold water, how long could the water be used?
When she heard the sound of the rising tide that was gradually disappearing, and then recalled the wind and waves on the sea, she couldn't help but be confused by these uncertain factors that broke out at any time.
Although she is intelligent, she is not an immortal or a god, she is just a human. Although she is not afraid of death, she is afraid of living in fear every day, and she is even more afraid of dying in vain, dying in the momentary mistakes of a group of ignorant people.
However, the people on a boat are like grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens to the boat, who can be left alone?
Looking at the tide outside the window that was gradually subsiding, Ah Wei suddenly sighed, and then turned back and asked Ying: "My father once calculated a hexagram for me before he died, saying that I have a fairy fate." If I really have a chance to become an immortal in the future, what are you going to do?"
The shadow paused for a moment, and then replied respectfully and seriously: "I am the shadow of the girl, and I am where the girl is." ”
Ah Wei smiled: "Then you'd better remember what you said tonight, if I don't allow you to die, you won't die either." ”
Shadow replied firmly: "Girl, don't worry, no matter how strong the wind and waves are at sea, Shadow will protect the girl and protect herself." ”
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, and only the sound of tide remained in the house.
When the tide faded and the boat had stabilized, Ying Fang said, "Girl, sleep a little longer, that young man will come to visit tomorrow, and it is not good to meet guests if he is not in good spirits." ”
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who the shadow was talking about. Ah Wei sighed, thinking that she might be able to know the cause of her brother's death tomorrow, and she was both expectant and timid for a while.
What did the boys and girls who went to sea go to sea the last time? How many useful things did she get when she learned about the past?
Ah Wei was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the shadow was still staring at her, and she hurriedly covered the window, covered the quilt and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but Ah Wei in her sleep was awakened by the shaking movement. Ah Wei looked towards the single couch, and the shadow was gone again. This time she didn't get up again, and lay lazily with her eyes open, ready to wait for Shadow to come back and ask.
With a cup of tea, the shadow pushed the door in. Ah Wei opened her mouth and asked, "The tide is rising again?"
Ying hurriedly shook his head and said, "This time it's a low tide. ”
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Chao Youxin's statement, and asked, "What time is it?"
Ying said: "We don't have an hourglass timer, I see that the sky outside is already a little white, I guess it's time to come." ”
When Ah Wan heard this, she said, "Then I'll get up and take a look." ”
Ying said: "It's windy outside, the girl remember to add a cloak and go out again." ”
Ah Wei got up, listened to Ying's words, walked to the end of the bed again, opened the suitcase, and picked out a moon-white cloak.
When I saw it, I thought to myself, the girl went out in vain, but I was afraid that it would be a little scary. But he was afraid that the girl would be angry, so he didn't dare to say more.
Ah Wan put on her shoes and shook off her cloak. Shadow came over and draped the cloak over her shoulders, and Ah Wei started to tie the strap in front of her.
Ying opened the door and watched Ah Wei go out. The early morning sea breeze poured into the corridor, and Ah Wei unconsciously tightened her cloak. Ah Wei remembered that Ying came out a few times, and remembered that Ying followed her in a hurry, as if she hadn't even prepared a change of clothes, and for a while she felt that she was really harsh as the master.
Ah Wei paced out and found that there were not many people on the deck. It must have been a fuss in the middle of the night, and in the end I couldn't stay up and go back to sleep. This child probably slept to death, and I don't know if he was woken up. At this moment, most of the boys on the deck are in the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts and swords, so they came to this deck, but they were surprised by the ebb tide.
Ah Wan stood in the corridor and the steps of the deck and watched quietly. When the dawn of the day dawned, the east was white, and the tide finally receded, and those boys were in groups of three or five or dancing swords, or comparing fists and feet.
But these excellent men, the final ending, has to ask the will of God.
Ah Wei looked up at the sky and couldn't help but ask in her heart: God, if you know, will you pity the fate of this boat of children?
The east side is gradually reddening, and the morning glow on the sea is beautiful. The boys who had collected the merit walked past Ah Wei one after another, looking at the girl standing in white and stunned, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, this is really a strange person, and it is scary to come out early in the morning.
Someone gave her a special look, and saw that she was immersed in her own thoughts, and finally did not dare to disturb her. He had already offended her once, and this time he had done what had been promised, or he would have upset her, lest he would have ordered her terrible attendant to throw him into the sea to feed the fish.
Qi Wen touched his nose and walked past Ah Wei.
