Chapter 7 Torrential Rains at Sea (Part II)

He endured his sleepiness and opened the hatch. Outside the door stood Boss Hu, Pei Zifu and Li Xiao, all three of them had red eyes, obviously they had not slept all night, compared to Boss Hu, who was eating by the sea, he was in the best spirit, and he did not get seasick, but as soon as he sat down, he said with a solemn face: "We must turn around and go back immediately." Zhu Yushi exclaimed: "Why? Hasn't the storm passed?" Hu Boss shook his head and said: "In my experience, such a storm will last for five or six days, or even longer, one of our masts has been broken, and it is too risky to continue sailing, and if the ship capsizes, we will be buried in the belly of the fish." Zhu Yushi said: "Didn't we have spent the night safely, the mast can be repaired if it is broken, but we can't go back." Boss Hu hurriedly said: "I know that this cargo is very valuable, but I can't risk my life?" Zhu Yushi said: "We have been sailing for five days, how long will it take to go back? ”

Boss Hu said angrily: "If it weren't for your master forcing Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu would not have gone to sea." It's just that the weather is good, and you can't let a boatload of people accompany you to your life now. Zhu Yushi sighed: "I know that Brother Hu is embarrassed, I can discuss anything except return, and I ask Brother Hu to help me." Boss Hu glanced at him and said, "I don't have a relationship with you, why should I help you?"

I don't know when Yan Qing has leaned on the hatch, and said lazily: "But he has a friendship with me, do you want to regret what you promised me?" Yan Qing said: "The broken mast can still be used after it is tied, and there is no damage to the hull of the ship just now, so there is no need to go back." Hu Lao Dao: "Yan Daxia's martial arts villain admires himself, but the sea voyage is still more experienced as a villain, I advise you to go back now, it's too late to go back tonight." Zhu Yushi asked: "Why?" Hu Lao Dao: "I smelled the smell of wind and fish on the sea this morning, and I can judge that the weather ahead is bad, and if I enter the sphere of influence of the storm, I can only wait for it to pass before I can sail, so I have to go back as soon as possible." Yan Daxia is a daughter's body, and he must not want to gamble his life here. ”

Yan Qing said with a smile: "My life and I only started gambling today, you just do it." Boss Hu gritted his teeth and said: "If you really want to die, it's up to you, but you can't pull us on your back." Yan Qing said coldly: "How long I can live is up to me, if I really want you to die, you can live until now." Boss Hu's face turned pale, and he said: "The other ship has been separated, and the boss of the ship will definitely choose to turn around and go back in this situation, this is how we agreed before." Zhu Yushi said: "There are Xiao Yan and Lu Ning on that ship, and they won't let the boat turn around." Let's go to them now. ”

Everyone went out of the cabin, the sky was as gray as the eyes of a dead fish, the sea breeze was damp and cold, and Boss Hu's face was as gloomy as the sky, directing the sailors to repair the mast, hang back the sails, and search for the lost ship. They set off a signal firework every 100 miles, but by noon there was no sign of the lost ship. Boss Hu couldn't stop nagging that the ship must have returned to sail, and it was useless to find it. Zhu Yushi's confidence couldn't help but waver. But at this moment, I suddenly saw a line of fire rise on the sea in the distance, and it exploded in the air with a "bang". The sailors shouted and clapped their hands, and finally found the lost ship.

The two boats slowly approached, Xiao Yan and Lu Ning both waved to everyone on the deck, the boat approached and lowered the ferryboard, and the two said to Zhu Yushi after they came: "The boat boss said that if I can't find you before noon, I will turn back, and I almost won't see you." Zhu Yushi said happily: "It seems that the sea god does not really want to harm us, otherwise he can let us meet again on the vast sea." However, there is still a storm tonight, so everyone should be careful. Lu Ning said with a smile: "The sea god is powerful, no matter how careful he is, it is useless, as long as he doesn't accept us, he will definitely be able to save the day." Pei Zifu said: "If we can get to this point, we must not die, and I also think we can get through it safely." Everyone knew that this was a comforting word, but the mood improved, and sometimes faith overcame fear more than courage.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, the sky darkened, and there was a scattered light rain in the air, and the sea breeze was blowing fiercely, and the waves were rough, and the hull of the ship began to shake. The sailors tore off the sails and took refuge in the cabin. The wind increased suddenly, the second boat was up and down on the rolling waves, with the experience of last night, everyone lay down in the hammock early, and the tired Zhu Yu slept in the storm for three hours.

Boss Hu expected that the storm continued for two consecutive days, and the clouds in the sky did not disperse all day long, without the slightest sign of clearing. Fortunately, the two ships did not get separated, but sailed very slowly, almost stagnantly. Everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted, and when they were tired, they were not in a good mood, and then they started complaining, but when a group of people started complaining, the atmosphere was not right. The dart master and the executioners all shouted to go by land, and Boss Hu led all the sailors to strike, and one by one they lay on the deck to sleep like dead fish.

Zhu Yushi's good words persuaded him a few times but no one paid attention, although Yan Qing could threaten Boss Hu, but he could not threaten the dart master in the dart game, and those pampered dart masters were more fierce than the sailors.

The situation is getting more and more out of control, and a boatload of complaints and scolding. Zhu Yushi was at a loss, and asked Li Xiaodao: "What should I do?" Li Xiao also had dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't rest well, and frowned: "I don't know, Brother Zhu might as well think about what he would do if the castle master was here." Zhu Yushi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go down and bring a box of gold up." The two of them went to the bilge and carried a chest full of gold bars onto the deck. Zhu Yushi raised his breath and shouted: "The brothers of the two boats are quiet, listen to me!" His voice used enough internal strength, and the voice immediately overwhelmed everyone, and the people on both boats got up and looked at him. Zhu Yushi continued to say loudly: "I know that everyone has worked hard in the past few days, but we can't stop, we still have to move forward." There will always be a time when the storm will pass, and I implore everyone to persevere to the end!" a middle-aged sailor half-lying on the deck sneered: "We have been adrift at sea for half our lives, when to enter and when to retreat, and to use you as a baby to dictate. Zhu Yushi arched his hand to him and said, "What is the name of this big brother." ”

The man gave him a blank look and said, "Hong Daquan, why do you still want to beat me?" Zhu Yushi said: "Brother Hong misunderstood. It's really the first time I'm going to sea, and I don't dare to teach you how to do it, but if you don't cheer up and don't delay the future trip?" Hong Daquan laughed and said: "It's a fart to make a trip." We can't advance or retreat now, it's all thanks to you, but we can only sit back and wait for the storm to pass, and that will be the day we return. Zhu Yushi said: "We have persevered for so many days, and we can give up easily." Hong Daquan scolded: "You know a fart, the storm on the first day was the Seagod's warning to us, you insisted on letting us fall into such a situation, this is the Seagod's punishment for us! We must go back! The big guy said yes!" The sailors of the two ships coaxed in unison: "Yes!" The voice was also mixed with a number of dart masters, and they were all glared at by Pei Zifu and Xiao Yan fiercely. Zhu Yushi sighed: "I know everyone is dissatisfied, but please take a look at this first!" said and opened the treasure chest. (To be continued.) )
