Daming Haikou

Chapter 34

After hearing this, Crazy Meng gritted his teeth, muttered something, stomped his feet, stood up, stumbled and pulled out a sharp ax from the side of the ship, and walked towards the mast shaking, but within two seconds He was thrown to the ground by the violently bumping boat, and the broad ax was also thrown out of his hand, and the sharp ax flew towards Heitou in a whirl.

Seeing the flying ax flying towards him, Heitou was frightened out of his wits. He hurriedly rolled on the boat and avoided the flying axe. After Yu Xiaotian rested for a while, his injured arm began to recover Intuitively, after swinging it, I feel that the joints are not in the way, and the ligaments can still use force. The ligament strain is not serious. I see that if the mast is not cut off, the ship will capsize, so I don’t care about the arm strain. Without saying a word, he jumped up and rushed over, grabbed the wooden handle of the hatchet, pulled it out from the ship's side, and then turned around and rushed towards the mast.

Following Yu Xiaotian's frenzied slashing, the mast on the ship toppled over with a creak, and fell into the rough sea with a bang, and was swept under the sea by the waves in the blink of an eye. Without even a bubble, he disappeared from everyone's sight, and everyone was shocked to break out in a cold sweat.

The boat with its mast cut off is like a kite with a broken line, swaying and drifting with the wind and waves on the sea. In order to reduce the rolling of the ship, the sails are tied horizontally to the side of the ship, which reduces the rolling of the ship. The situation finally prevented the ship from capsizing in the big waves.

This kind of storm lasted for two days and one night. The people on the boat could only drift along the boundless sea with the boat. For two consecutive days and one night, no one had a bite to eat. When they were thirsty, they could only drink from the rainwater from the sky.

Liu Laoliu's body has not yet fully recovered. After tossing for two days and one night, he became very weak. He was limply tied to the boat, and his face was extremely pale.

The others were not much better either. They all suffered from seasickness and vomited in a mess. They all collapsed on the boat as if their bones had been pulled out.

At this moment, the rudder of the ship was in the midst of the big waves, and it had already been broken by the waves. There was no way to control the direction of the ship. Everyone was lying on the ship in despair, looking up at the sky and waiting for God's judgment on their fate.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaotian, who just arrived, did better. He is the most physically fit. Although he was dizzy at first, after a while, he gradually got used to the dizziness and got rid of the trouble of seasickness. In the following time, Yu Xiaotian staggered on the boat to take care of other people, receiving water to feed others, and trying his best to stabilize the hull so that the boat would not capsize.

In short, after these two days and one night, Yu Xiaotian was exhausted even when he couldn't eat anything. On the second night, the storm on the sea finally subsided gradually, and the waves began to become smaller. many.

Everyone looked at the dim starlight gradually appearing in the sky, and they often breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, their lives were finally saved this time, and the next step was to consider how to return to Xiaohuangdao.

After another night of drifting, the people on board searched for some food on board, but found that there was no fire on board to cook the food, so they had to share these things and everyone saved up on board. A little rainwater that came down ate the food raw, and somewhat recovered some of my strength.

After dawn, the long-lost sunshine was once again scattered on the sparkling sea by the sun. Everyone looked at the embarrassment of the other people on the boat, feeling like they were alive after a catastrophe. They all stood up and looked around.

Because of two days and one night of continuous storms, and there is no modern positioning device on board, although there are old sea wolves like Liu Laoliu and Ma Lian, but because there are no landmarks for reference, they are basically gone now. I can't figure out where the ship has drifted for the past two days.

Therefore, after dawn, the people on the boat can only search for land or islands at sea with their naked eyes, first find a way to find a place to repair the boat, and restore the sailing ability to a certain extent before returning to Xiaohuang Island after confirming the location.

Although the storm at sea has stopped temporarily, everyone on board is not at ease now, because they don't have much food or fresh water right now. If the storm of these two days drives them far away from the land, If they entered the sea to the east, depending on the current situation on board their boat, it would be very difficult to return to Xiaohuang Island or even return to land. In that case, they would still end up dying of thirst or starving at sea.

After thinking about their current situation, everyone on board felt heavy again, and got up one after another. While packing up the boat, they looked far into the distance for possible land.

Yu Xiaotian felt a bit dumbfounded, always felt that God seemed to be against him on purpose, and threw him into the sea when he crossed, and finally found a place to stay, but he was not stable yet, as soon as he went out to sea , and another big storm came to him, which almost brought his situation back to zero again.

However, his current situation can only be said to be a little bit better than when he traveled through it. At least he was not soaking in the sea, but on a small broken boat. The connected guy was with him, and more or less some food.

While cleaning up the dilapidated ships, Yu Xiaotian muttered silently in his mouth: Heaven is about to send a great mission to the people, and they must first work hard on their minds, muscles and bones, and starve their bodies... Right now, he is very concerned about his luck, There is really nothing to say, and I can only use this to talk and comfort myself.

When cleaning up the broken ship, Yu Xiaotian did not forget to carefully inspect the sea from time to time. After a short inventory and cleaning, he was basically sure that it was impossible to repair the ship temporarily at sea Well, the mast on the ship was cut off by him when the storm was at its worst, and thrown into the sea. Although they tried their best to save the sail, without the mast, it could only be a decoration , it is impossible to provide power to the ship anymore.

The rudder on the boat was also broken by the huge waves, and now there was only a small half of it left, and it was no longer possible to operate the boat. Almost half of the fishing on the boat was lost in the storm, leaving only one piece with a hole in it. The fisherman was still on board, and a lot of cables and sails were also lost in the storm.

As for the food on board, because they didn’t plan to go to sea for too long, they prepared very little. Now some of the food has been soaked in sea water and has begun to show mildew. As for the freshwater boat, there is still a little, mainly in the cabin. The accumulated rainwater, but because a lot of seawater poured into the boat, made the rainwater a bit salty, so it could only barely drink.

For such a loss, Ma Lian and the others were very worried, and they all sat on the boat like mourning concubines, not knowing what to do for a while.

But Liu Laoliu seemed to have experienced more, and at this time he seemed calmer. With Yu Xiaotian's support, Liu Laoliu stood up, checked on the boat, nodded and said to Ma Lian and the others: "You don't want to go to the boat. I'm about to cry, I've been in the sea for so long, is it possible that this is the first time I've encountered such a thing?

Get up, the sails are temporarily unusable, but the ship is not ready to fall apart, so it can still be used after repairing it. Now let’s get the clipper boards and find some ropes and nails to make a temporary rudder. There will still be wind at sea for a while, so as long as you hold the rudder with the wind and steer the boat westward, you will be able to return to the shore sooner or later!

I made some calculations. Regardless of the fact that there was a lot of wind and waves the day before yesterday, we cut the mast early and the wind was small. In fact, the ship didn’t float very far, and it’s not time for you to sit and wait for death!

Brother Yu, you have to work a little harder. You are strong enough to help dismantle the two planks. Others will find someone to repair the rudder first, and then find a way to make a rudder. I don’t believe it. The strong wind didn't kill us, how can we still starve to death in this sea? "

After hearing Liu Laoliu's words, the people on the boat regained some confidence. They wiped his long face with the horse's face, kicked Crazy Meng who was sitting by the side, and cursed: "Crazy Meng, do you see that? The brothers still count on the sixth son, don’t be so damn sad, you won’t make the juniors laugh at you! The sixth son is right, it’s not time for us to cry yet! Get up and work! Fix the rudder first. The last thing I want to be looked down upon by this old sixth! Get up, get up, and work!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Lian walked to Yu Xiaotian's side again, patted Yu Xiaotian's shoulder and said: "I, Ma Lian, don't say anything, this time, if it wasn't for Brother Yu, we wouldn't know What is it like now! If you can go back this time, you can rest assured, Brother Yu, even if all the work is stopped, we will help you tidy up the boat!"

Yu Xiaotian smiled wryly and shook his head: "Uncle Ma, you are welcome! Right now we are in the same boat, so it doesn't matter if I do more! The boat is actually tidied up, but I still want everyone on the island to use it. It's stronger than this boat! Uncle Ma, you don't need to say anything more! Right now, let's find a way to find a place to repair the boat and go back!"

Crazy Meng also came to his senses at this moment, stood up and took a deep breath and said: "The sixth is the sixth, and he has seen more worlds than us! This is reasonable, and everything is bullshit right now. With this The heart is done! Find a way to find a place to repair the ship first!"

During the conversation, everyone on the boat started to move, and now everyone was spared no effort to survive, and they all started to find someone to repair the boat. The ax on the boat was not lost, and two fish knives and a handle were also found. A waist knife for self-defense, but a saw on the boat has been lost at some point, so I can only rely on these guys to work.

Some of the seams of this boat were already leaking under the beating of the huge waves, so Ma Lian took a young man and tore some hemp rope and started to plug the leaking seams, while Yu Xiaotian, under the guidance of Crazy Meng, , split two pieces of wood with an ax on the boat, and then managed to pull out a few iron nails from unimportant places on the boat, added some hemp rope, and began to repair the rudder in a crude way.

After half a day of tossing and tossing, I finally pieced together a temporary rudder. Although it is not very durable, but the current conditions are limited, so I can only make do with it.

But because there is no mast on the ship, the ship has no power, and the spare big scull on the ship has been lost at the moment, so they can only find a way to find two wooden sticks on the ship, and connect them with ropes and rags. When I got up, I found a way to install the fast plank, put it on the stern, tied it with rope, and used it as a temporary paddle.

In this way, the boat finally regained a little bit of momentum, and everyone took turns to row the oars. After confirming the direction, they rowed towards the west with all their strength.

When the storm came, the temperature on the sea became very low, and the people on the boat were drenched by the waves and the rainstorm. Everyone was so cold that their lips were blue and blue from the cold. But once the storm passed, when the sun came here again After the sea was covered, the temperature rose immediately, and this improvised oar was not in hand, so it was very laborious to shake, and it could not provide much driving force, making it a hard job to shake the oar.

Every person who goes up in rotation will be hot and sweaty after shaking it a few times. From time to time, he has to pull up the loose scull and re-tie it again. The result is time-consuming and laborious, but the speed of the boat is still very slow. .

Where did Yu Xiaotian play with this thing before, he couldn't shake the oar at all, he had all the strength but couldn't use it, he grabbed the handle of the oar and shook it violently but the boat didn't go away, it made everyone a little funny, but it was somewhat diluted A depressing atmosphere on some ships.

Because I don't know their location, and I don't know when they can row to land or find the island, so Liu Laoliu proposed to strictly control the amount of drinking water. Everyone only drinks a small amount of water every day, which can only sustain life. less than.

So at the end of the day, coupled with the constant rotation of the oars, everyone sweated a lot and consumed a lot of water, but they couldn't get enough replenishment, so soon the lips of the people on the boat began to dry up, and their mental and physical strength was exhausted. have begun to decline sharply.
