In the evening, the dark clouds poured in from the sky, and the sky was completely dark, although it was not yet Cheng DΓΉ, who could not see his five fingers, but it was difficult to see far away, and the wind had begun to rise on the river, and the boat was jolting on the river.
"Lao Xing, your skills are really good, and there are really storms. Wang Lie stood in the cockpit and said to Lao Xing next to him, sure enough, life is full of knowledge, and this ability to predict the weather by observing clouds can be compared to the weather forecast.
"The owner has won the prize. Lao Xing smiled honestly and said, "The draft of our boat is relatively shallow, and if the wind and waves are bigger, I am afraid that the bumps will be even worse." β
"It's okay, let's just walk slowly along the shore, and if it doesn't work, we will stop the boat. Wang Lie looked forward, the fleet of the Cao Gang was about to disappear from sight, and with his eyesight, he could only see black shadows, and he couldn't distinguish which ships were specific.
"Senior brother, this weather is so scary, let's not follow. Li Suning pulled Wang Lie's sleeve and said, she was a little scared when the boat shook the ground, for fear that the boat would overturn all of a sudden.
"What are you afraid of, this ship is only a few feet away from the shore, and you can jump over it with a little effort. Tang Haizheng was sitting on a chair on the side and nibbled on an apple, and said with a grin, "This is the benefit of high martial arts, and we are not afraid if the ship capsizes." β
Wang Lie and the others rolled their eyes in unison, and the emotional art master was bold enough to understand it this way.
"It doesn't matter, if it's in danger, let's stop. Wang Lie comforted her.
"This storm couldn't have come at a better time. Fan Feng said dejectedly, "It seems that we are doomed." β
As he spoke, the rain had begun to fall, and when he looked up, the sky was full of rain lines, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the deck with a crackling sound.
Wang Lie has been in the Tianlong World for so long, it is the first time he has encountered such heavy rain, and it is still on the river, the boat is rocking in the wind and rain, he is strong in martial arts, standing firmly on the deck, Li Suning, Tang Hai and Fan Feng also stabilized their bodies lightly, the boatmen have no such ability, they hold on to the things at hand, so as not to fall and be thrown out.
"Owner, the wind and rain are too strong, I'm afraid the ship won't be able to hold it if it goes on like this, let's go to the shore. Lao Xing shouted loudly, and half of his voice was covered by the sound of rain, and if it weren't for Wang Lie's excellent ear, he wouldn't be able to hear what he said.
"Come to the shore. Wang Lie sighed and said, not to mention such a heavy rain, even when the machinery is developed in later generations, it is not safe to sail, this can dock, and when the rain stops, find a way to catch up with the fleet of the Cao Gang.
After receiving the order, Lao Xing commanded the boatman to dock, he personally went to the helm, and it took more than half an hour to successfully dock the boat to the shore, Wang Lie and Fan Feng jumped to the shore and tied the boat to several big trees on the shore with a few ropes to prevent the boat from being blown away.
Back on the Qianshan Ferry, Wang Lie first changed his clothes, and then returned to the hall, everyone gathered here at this time, the wind and rain were too strong at this time, and they had no way to get off the boat, so they could only stay on the boat temporarily.
"You say, the boat is rocking around like a cradle when you were a child. Tang Hai smiled bitterly.
"You're going to have fun. Wang Lie smiled and shook his head, "I don't know how long it will rain this time, let's make a game." On a whim, the boat was shaking like this, the chess pieces could not be fixed and could not be played, and it was still early to go to bed, so it was better to get a deck of playing cards to play.
"What game to play?" Tang Haidao, everyone was the most interested in his play.
Fan Feng was noncommittal, he had no opinion on whether to play or not, as for the boatmen, they all returned to the rooms on the ground floor, they had long been accustomed to this situation, and it did not affect their sleep at all.
Li Suning yawned and said, "I don't want to play." She leaned on Wang Lie, and she was a little sleepy when the boat was shaking.
"Let's go back to sleep if you're sleepy, it's okay, the boat is already secured. Wang Lie said.
"No, I'll watch you play. Li Suning said.
Wang Lie didn't insist, found a pen and paper, drew a deck of cards on this, and then explained the rules of fighting landlords to Tang Hai Fan Feng, both of them were smart, and they were completely familiar with the rules after playing one or two, and the three of them fought enthusiastically.
Li Suning looked at it for a while, and felt bored, so he slipped to the window to see the wind and waves outside, the waves on the shore were not big, but the center of the river dozens of feet away was rolling waves, and when the waves were big, they were even ten meters high. Not worried about capsizing, she also watched it with relish.
"Bomb! Gone!" Tang Hai laughed obscenely: "Finally let me win! The landlord should be like me!" He was extremely proud, and this night he robbed the landlord at every opportunity, but he lost everything, and it was not easy to win once, which made him very happy.
"Alas, the main thing is that my hand is too bad, can it be your turn?" Fan Feng said with a sigh.
Fighting the landlord is really a weapon to pass the time, and the two of them have become addicted to it not long after playing, and they are very happy.
"Senior brother, there's a fire over there!" the three of them were playing, and Li Suning shouted.
"It's raining, how can there be a fire?" Wang Lie said as he shuffled the cards.
"Really, come and see!" Li Suning said in a slightly anxious voice.
"Really? I'll take a look. He stood up and walked to the window.
"Is there such a thing?" Tang Hai and Fan Feng were also curious, and they came to the window together.
"I'm going! It's really on fire. The three of them leaned to the window to take a look, and sure enough, they saw a fire in the distance, and they could still see the fire in such a heavy rain, which showed how big the fire was.
"No, the fire is in the center of the river, could it be that the boat is on fire?" Fan Feng said suspiciously.
"Oops!" Wang Lie's heart moved, and said, "We have always been worried that someone will rob the weapons of the Cao Gang, what if the other party doesn't want to rob these weapons at all but just wants to destroy them?"
A few people looked at each other, it was much easier to just destroy it, there was no problem of transporting it away at all, just destroy the ship.
"They actually chose this time to make a move!" Tang Hai took a breath and said, "It seems that they used fire oil, otherwise such a heavy rain would not have been able to catch fire at all." β
"This is trouble, what should we do?" Fan Feng said.
"Let's go over and see if we can save it, at least save a few people. Wang Lie made a quick decision.
"Ning'er, you stay here and watch Qianshandu, and the three of us go along the shore to see the situation. He looked back.
"The boat has Lao Xing watching them, I'll go with you. Li Suning stared at Wang Lie with wide eyes and said.
"You can't go to such a heavy rain, stay well, we'll be back in a while!" Wang Lie said resolutely, and now that he didn't have a raincoat or umbrella, he resolutely couldn't let her go to the rain with her.
"My martial arts are no worse than theirs, I can help!" Li Suning said stubbornly.
"Ning'er is obedient, this little scene Senior Brother can handle it, don't let me worry, okay?" Wang Lie said warmly.
After comforting for a long time, he finally persuaded Li Suning not to follow, Tang Hai and Fan Feng had already found three sets of robes, they put on the robes, walked into the rain one after another, jumped ashore, and ran towards the fire in front.
Li Suning watched their backs disappear into the rain, her eyes full of worry.
