Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Ruthless Storm

"Save people!" I was so excited that I rushed to the door of the cabin and kicked the door like crazy, "Master Jiao, save people!" No one helped me, not even Ah Hui, and I didn't know how I kicked open the hatch, so I rushed out. The violent storm outside suddenly hit my face, almost threw me back into the cabin, I gritted my teeth and rushed out, and then I found out why no one heard me kicking the door, because the whole deck was full of heavy rain hitting the deck The sound, the sound was extremely loud, louder than any sound I heard, and I couldn't hear anything in it.

There was chaos on the deck, Tao Haike was running on the ship in a panic, shouting was torn to pieces by the sound of wind and rain, I watched all this blankly, in this kind of scene, not to mention saving the Anqing, it was Fuchang No. is also in jeopardy.But my uncle is on the Anqing, how can I just ignore him? It is impossible to save people with my own ability.In my panic, my first reaction was to go to Seventh Brother, he must have a solution! He lives in the top cabin, that is, he lives with Tao Haike. I stumbled and ran to the wooden ladder, trying to climb up to find him.This short section of the wooden ladder is like climbing a ladder at this time, the Fuchang is shaking violently non-stop, and the rain brought by the strong wind hits my body, which is painful.After climbing up with great difficulty, I looked at the rest cabins on both sides of the aisle in front of me, but I was stunned. I didn't know which one he lived in.

After staying for a while, I rushed into the aisle and shouted like crazy: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!" As soon as the shout came out, it was overwhelmed by the power of the world, and I couldn't even hear my own roar clearly.I knocked on the door, but none of the doors could be knocked open. I don't know if all the sea hunters went down to the deck, or because the whole ship was shaking, even if there were people inside, they ignored it. I squatted down on the aisle in frustration, and was so anxious that I wanted to punch the wall, but thinking of my uncle on the Anqing, I gritted my teeth and rushed to the deck again.After a while, the wind and waves became stronger, and the hull was shaking, so I lost my grip and fell off the wooden ladder.

Grabbing the gaps in the deck, I was almost pressed by the waves and rain to climb on the deck. I vaguely saw that all the sea hunters were already in their positions, pulling the sail ropes. His voice was too small to be used for conversation, but all the sea-seekers were watching the ship's sternsail. After searching my eyes, I found Lord Jiao's figure. Sure enough, Master Jiao was pulling the tail sail.He stood on the rudder wheel, put his feet on the tiller, and pulled the tailsail with one hand, while everyone else pulled the mainsail while looking at the direction the tailsail was swinging.

I immediately knew why it was designed in this way. A small boat like Wucao can sail in the open sea because of this unique skill. In the wind and waves, the deck of the ship was almost inclined like a steep slope. I clawed at the gaps on the deck and tried my best to climb in the direction of Lord Jiao.On the other side, the wreck of the Anqing was almost touching the strings of the ship, but it never collided with it. It seemed that there was a strange force pulling the two ships around. I didn't have time to look at it. When I climbed to the side of a Tao Hai Ke, he almost yelled at me: "What are you doing out?", I ignored him, but then he ignored me.Apparently he didn't care about my life or death.

From the deck to the rear rudder, it usually takes only a dozen steps to walk, but I felt like climbing for almost a day in the wind and waves, and I don't know how I didn't get washed overboard. When I climbed to the rear rudder with my whole body soaked, I found Master Jiao was very surprised when he saw me, and shouted: "What are you doing here?!" I gritted my teeth, took two steps forward, held back the tears in my eyes and shouted: "Lord Jiao, my uncle is on the Anqing, and he is dying now, your lord, send someone to save the people on the Anqing! "Although I don't have any hope in my heart, this is the only thing I can do for my uncle.

Master Jiao took a look at me and shouted, "I can't protect myself. If you don't want to die, go back to the cabin. No one here has time to care about others!" I didn't give up, so I went up and wanted to grab Lord Jiao's rudder, but before I caught it, I felt something flicker in front of me, my mind buzzed, and the person flew out almost immediately.It fell from the helm to the deck.It came to a halt when it hit a sail rope. I turned over, and a Tao Haike next to me kicked me to the edge of the Xuan. I felt a burning pain in my chest. I opened my clothes and saw that there was a footprint with seven toes on my chest. Grandpa kicked it out.

The speed of that kick was so fast that I didn't even see anything.I coughed a few times and finally vomited it out. I didn't know if it was blood or food, but I couldn't care less and wanted to continue.But the boat turned over and walked a few steps and couldn't stand still, so I had to shout at the Tao Haike on the side: "Brother, do you have a rope? Please help them." "Go away!" he yelled at me. "But they're not dead yet! Look, they're still moving." I didn't care so much, and wanted to climb up and pull him. "Fuck your shit, you're not dead, take a closer look, what are those!"

I followed his gaze, and at this time the wreck of the Anqing was getting closer, almost sticking to the ship's strings. When I saw it, I couldn't help feeling my scalp tingling and my body getting goosebumps.I saw that there were not only wrecks in the sea, but also countless sea snakes. The heads of the snakes kept moving and gnawing on the ship's plank. It looked like the sea was trembling, disturbing the corpses. Those sea snakes are constantly gnawing on the bodies of those victims.At that time, the entire sea surface was like a bowl of noodles, with countless slender noodles tumbling inside, entangled with corpses floating on the sea surface, sea snakes in yellow and blue, shining with scales, and the endless sea surface, It was because of this kind of sea snake that it completely turned grayish yellow.

I was petrified by this horrible scene. They stood on the deck, not daring to move. "They're coming! They're swimming towards the Fuchang! Lord Jiao, those sea snakes are rushing towards the Fuchang!" A sea hunter on the side of the ship screamed in panic. I grabbed the side of the ship and looked down. , the group of gray-yellow sea snakes was rushing towards the Fuchang. This scene is the most dream-like scene I have ever encountered in my life, but unfortunately it is a nightmare.At this time, I can no longer tell which is more terrifying, the sea snake wriggling on the sea, or the wind and waves that will tear the ship to pieces at any time.

The dilapidated Anqing and Fuchang were almost running side by side, and they were about to collide with each other. The corpse on the mast of the Anqing was shaking not far away, looking at the tragedy that was about to be staged as if mocking, looking at us. Will become like them step by step. Just when I didn't know how things would develop, Tao Haike yelled, I don't know what happened, I looked around, and I saw the lightning, only to see Lord Jiao stretching his arms high, Holding a fish knife, he slashed fiercely at the rope at hand. As the rope broke, the tailsail, which was blown wildly by the strong wind, suddenly fell down as if deflated. I don't understand the meaning of Lord Jiao's doing this, but obviously those sea hunters have followed Lord Jiao for a long time, and they immediately understood the meaning, and at the same time they began to lower the sails. In an instant all sails were lowered. At this moment, the Anqing, which had been approaching the Fuchang, had already approached, but the speed of the Fuchang dropped sharply after lowering the sails, and the Anqing almost brushed the ship's side, passing the Fuchang in a moment The high waves splashed between the two boats, rose into the sky and rained on the deck, and almost knocked me over. I breathed a sigh of relief, rushed to the side of the boat, looked down, and found that the sea snakes on the sea were scattered by the huge waves before they had time to get close to the Fuchang, and many sea snakes were swept up by the waves deck. Immediately, a Tao Haike took out a fish shuttle and quickly picked the sea snake back into the sea.I didn't dare to help, I just watched the Anqing gradually move away from us.I watched all this in disbelief and had no idea what was going on. After half an hour, we slowly rushed out of the dark clouds, and the storm subsided. It was not until I saw the sun again that I finally recovered from the horrible scene just now.The pain of losing my uncle seemed to have been burned away just now, and my heart was empty, nothing. Others began to come to the deck, and the sea hunters were all exhausted, lying on the ground. Lord Jiao got off the rudder and walked towards his cabin silently. As soon as he saw him coming down, several sea hunters surrounded him and asked, "Master Jiao, what happened just now? Are those snakes Lord Dragon—" Master Jiao ignored them, and laughed a few times, the voice was surprisingly loud, everyone on the boat was attracted to look back at him, Zhong Canfu walked to Master Jiao, and seemed a little puzzled: "Master Jiao, what's the matter?" Master Jiao laughed louder: "Look at your cowardice, a few little bugs scare you to the point of peeing your pants? Is this what you're good for? You'll embarrass me if you say it!" As soon as these words came out, the Taohaike who asked the question seemed a little embarrassed. The other passengers kept their faces blank and looked at Master Jiao, while Zhong Canfu said with a full face of surprise: "Master Jiao, there are so many..." With a wave of his hand, Lord Jiao interrupted Zhong Canfu, and said, "Since ancient times, the Dragon Snake family has come to welcome us to the sea on behalf of the Dragon King. Our Fuchang is lucky, it is the season for sea snakes to lay eggs, this time we are going to sea This is a good sign of prosperity. You go and prepare, we will come out when we encounter such dangerous things, so we have to worship the Dragon Lord by the way." After saying these words, Lord Jiao took a deep look at Zhong Canfu, then patted him on the shoulder and walked away.Zhong Canfu suddenly realized and nodded: "I understand, Lord Jiao, I will make arrangements right away." The conversation was loud, and everyone on the boat looked at Master Jiao, and heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said, and even started pointing at the group of sea snakes in the distance.I didn't let go of my doubts and worries. Master Jiao's words were obviously for everyone to hear. A few simple words have diluted the panic atmosphere a lot. It really is some tricks. Just thinking about it, under the leadership of Zhong Canfu, the sea hunters over there have divided into two teams and walked onto the deck, and began to worship the uninvited sea snakes.Although I have some understanding of the rules of the people who go to the sea, this is the first time I have seen the sea sacrifice with my own eyes. Although the ceremony is not complicated, the sea-hunters still look solemn and meticulous. Lord Jiao cleaned his hands in a washbasin, took the three sticks of incense presented by Zhong Canfu, respectfully inserted them into the incense burner, and then took a step back, leading all the sea hunters to kneel on the deck, praying for the blessing of Lord Dragon This boat full of good people.After a long prayer, a man known as Brother Kui by other sea hunters took a piece of yellow paper with both hands, and spread it in front of Master Jiao's knee, not knowing what it was for. Soon, Lord Jiao spread out his right palm with a serious face, Brother Kui held a fish blade in his hand, and quickly slashed across Lord Jiao's palm, after that, Lord Jiao suddenly clenched his fist and firmly held the blade in his hand. Blood dripped drop by drop from Master Jiao's fingers, landed on the yellow paper, and splashed again. I was puzzled by what I saw, so I couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?" As soon as the words came out, I thought of Ah Hui, a woman from a Taoist family, how could she understand these things.Unexpectedly, a familiar voice interface replied: "This is blood divination. The boss of the ship will use the blood stains on the yellow paper to divination good or bad luck." I turned around and saw that it was Brother Seven, he was looking at the behavior of the boss of the boat thoughtfully, I couldn't help but say: "Brother Seven, do you know this?" Song Zongde stared at Master Jiao's movements, and said: "When I was on a boat on the inland river, the big boat passed Dongting Lake, and suddenly there was a huge wave, and the big boat was shaking almost to capsize. My lord, I will use the method of blood divination—the same as what Lord Jiao did just now. After burning incense and praying, the boss of the boat printed the bloody palm on the yellow watch paper." "Ah, what happened next?" I was curious by what he said, and couldn't help asking. Seventh Brother said in a low voice: "Everyone said that the bloodstains looked like a woman, which was supernatural. There was a young passenger on the boat who saw the bloodstained woman and threw himself into the lake in despair. No one understood why. Later I heard from the people who boarded the boat with him that there was a young lady from a rich family who was lured and kidnapped by the man who threw himself into the river, and was sold to a brothel after losing all his money because of this gambling man. The young lady was not reconciled, so she jumped into the big river behind the brothel. That man did such a shameful thing. He thought that no one would notice it, but he never thought..." He was about to continue, when Master Jiao suddenly let out a muffled snort, and spread his palms open, printing the blood on the yellow paper, I didn't care to continue listening when I saw this, I stood on tiptoe to see clearly. There was no sound on board, but people, like me, stretched their necks desperately, trying to see the imprint on the paper clearly.But no one could see it, because Lord Jiao held the yellow paper in his hand, turned his back to the person, and looked at the bloodstain carefully by himself. At this time, the sea snake had already caught up with the Fuchang, and there was a chilling sound from the stern of the ship. Those goddamn sea snakes seemed to be gnawing on the plank of the Fuchang below the waterline, and everyone couldn't help but want to go to the stern to see When looking at it, Lord Jiao suddenly burst into laughter: "Good hexagram, good hexagram, hahaha, smooth sailing, good luck." He rolled up the piece of paper while laughing heartily.Brother Kui reached out to pick up the yellow paper, but Lord Jiao didn't hand it to him, but held it in his hand, stood up and walked to the steering wheel room. Brother Kui probably didn't expect this to happen. Even though Lord Jiao had gone far away, he was still kneeling on the ground with both hands in the state of receiving and handing over, with a look of astonishment on his face.Zhong Canfu laughed beside him: "Old Kui, you are still kneeling and waiting for the imperial edict, hahaha." Amidst the loud laughter, Zhong Canfu jumped up and yelled at Tao Haike who stayed on the spot: "Are you still kneeling and doing birds? Get up and work!" The sea hunters returned to their respective posts in disorder, but Brother Kui didn't get up, but sat slumped on the deck in a daze. I don't know why, Seventh Brother suddenly took a deep breath, and said to me in a low voice: "Minsheng, look at this sea, it's very strange." I turned my eyes away from Brother Kui, and turned to the sea, only to find that the sea water changed color at some point, with a black tinge in the dark green, which looked like sticky sauce from a distance. I shivered and said doubtfully, "Maybe the sea water will become like this when we go out to sea?" Seventh Brother shook his head: "After entering this sea area, I can feel that something is about to happen." After listening to Brother Seven's words, and seeing the happy faces of the passengers around me, I felt absurd.Didn't these people realize that something was wrong, but Seventh Brother's determined expression made me unable to question it, besides, I could indeed faintly feel that there was something wrong with the ship. Maybe seeing that my expression was wrong, Seventh Brother comforted me and said: "Min Sheng, don't worry too much, since you are here, you can rest easy. Don't worry, Seventh Brother is here." I nodded and gave a heavy "hmm".Anyway, now that Brother Seven is on board, at least I won't feel lonely anymore. The sacrifice was completed, and when I returned to the cabin, I was already dizzy from the shaking. I finally got up from the fish cabin and walked out of the cabin, trying to blow some air to wake myself up.However, as soon as I walked to the side of the ship, under the dim light of the sky, I saw that this sea area was quite different from what I had seen before. It is not the blackish blue color in front of the Anqing, and there are no sea snakes or shadows surging in it. The current scene makes me feel like my legs and feet are weak. Looking over, it is full of horrible soil. Yellow, the entire sea seems to be static, but there are vortices one after another.Looking from my direction, the Fuchang is on the edge of a huge vortex, and less than ten meters in front of my eyes, the sea water is obviously tilting down to the center of the vortex, but the Fuchang is standing still, without wind and waves , There was no human voice, we seemed to stop at the Dead Sea, and even everyone except me fell asleep. I opened my eyes wide and couldn't believe the scene in front of me. I patted the side of the boat vigorously, but there was no vibration in the hull.I didn't give up, and looked around the Fuchang, the vortex on the sea was still there, and my heart beat violently. What the hell is going on?I ran back to the cabin to call Ah Hui, but she was like a dead person, her eyes were tightly closed, her head and face were covered with sweat, and she couldn't wake up no matter what.I went to see other people, and it turned out to be the same situation. It was like within a minute, everyone lost consciousness. I panicked all of a sudden, got up and went to look outside again, the gas dead lantern in the cabin jumped up and down, emitting a strange light, I almost suspected that only me and the light on the whole ship could still move.I stumbled and ran towards the cabin door, but heard a faint groan. I was startled, and immediately thought of the unknown thing in the bottom cabin—could it be conscious? Almost at the same time, following the sound of moaning, the cold wind whizzed in from the port of the ship, making a sound like the roar of a ghost, and the ship began to shake. When I looked back, I found that the people in the cabin seemed to be Woke up by the shock, they sat up one by one, looking panicked, and asked loudly what happened? I ignored them, I ran to the deck and looked out, the big and small eddies had disappeared, the turbid waves were beating against the Fuchang, and countless people ran out with their heads in their arms. Know what's going on right now.Why did everyone except me fall into a coma?Why did the sea become like that, and after the moaning, everything got crazier? The moans suddenly became high-pitched, without any interruption, and the sound of the wind became sharper, as if echoing it, wanting to blow into our hearts. The faces of the people who flocked to me were ashen-colored, their hands covered their ears, and they looked desperate and defeated. Most of them fell to the ground. I thought of Ah Hui. In such a chaotic situation, I don’t know how is sheAre you awake?Will Uncle Quan and Hei Pi Cai take this opportunity to make trouble? The more I thought about it, the more impatient I became, and I hurried to the cabin, watching carefully to see if there was her in the crowd. "Boom, boom..." Suddenly, there were several loud shocks from the bottom of the Fuchang, as if someone was holding a huge hammer and hitting the ship underwater with gravity.The moaning sound was completely covered up, and my scalp was numb from the shock. The people who collapsed on the ground just now screamed frantically, and Zhong Canfu's fierce roar finally appeared: "What is the ghost screaming? It's just a small storm, who will come again?" Crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, immediately drop off the boat and feed the fish!" But everyone was scared out of their wits, and Zhong Canfu couldn't calm down with just a few words of threats.And the current situation can't be a small storm. The ship's body shook so violently, with the huge reverberation of the terrifying knock, I stopped and began to despair. What was that sound, so terrible?
