Chapter 34 The Rest of the Wrath
After listening to this, Meng madman gritted his teeth and didn't know what he said. He stamped his feet and stood up. He stumbled out a sharp plate axe under the side of the ship and staggered towards the mast, but he fell on the boat by the violently bumpy boat in two steps. The plate axe also came out of his hand, and the sharp board The axe flew to the blackhead.
The black head was stared at the flying axe and flew towards him. Suddenly, he was so scared that his soul was scattered. A donkey quickly rolled on the boat, and then he dodged the flying axe. After a short rest, Yu Xiaotian's injured arm began to regain his intuition. After swinging it, he felt that the joints were not in the way, and the ligaments could still be pulled. The injury was not serious. Seeing that if the mast was not cut off, the ship would capsize, so it could not care about the strain of the arm. Without saying a word, it rushed up and rushed over. A wooden handle that grabbed the axe, pulled it out at the side of the ship, and then turned around and rushed to the mast.
With Yu Xiaotian's crazy chopping, the mast on the ship creaked down and fell into the rough sea. In the blink of an eye, it was swept under the sea by the waves. Without even a bubble, it disappeared from everyone's sight, which shocked everyone again. Cold sweat.
The boat that was cut off the mast was like a broken kite, swaying and drifting with the wind and waves at sea. In order to reduce the shaking of the ship, the sails were tied to the side of the ship, which reduced the shaking of the ship and finally prevented the boat from turning over in the waves.
Such a storm lasted for two days and one night. The people on the ship could only float on the endless sea with the ship. For two days and one night, no one ate a bite. When they were thirsty, they could only drink the rain from the sky.
Liu Laoliu's body has not fully recovered. After tossing for two days and a night, he became very weak. He was tied to the boat and his face was pale.
The others are not much better. They are seasick and vomited. They all collapsed on the ship as if they had been patted bones.
At this time, the rudder has already been broken by the waves, and there is no way to control the direction of the ship. Everyone lies on the ship in despair, looking up at the sky and waiting for God to judge their fate.
Yu Xiaotian, who came here, performed better. He was the strongest. Although he was dizzy at first, after a while, he gradually got used to this feeling of dizziness and got rid of seasickness. In the following time, Yu Xiaotian stumbled to take care of others on the boat. , to feed water to others, and to try to stabilize the hull and keep the ship from overturning.
In short, after two nights, Yu Xiaotian was also tired when he couldn't eat. The next night, the storm on the sea finally stopped and the waves began to become much smaller.
Everyone was often relieved to see the hazy starlight gradually emerging in the sky. Anyway, their lives were finally saved, and the next step was to consider how to return to Xiaohuangdao.
After drifting for another night, the people on the ship found some food on the ship, but found that there was nothing on the ship that could catch fire to cook the food, so they could only divide these things with a little rain accumulated on the ship, eating them raw and somewhat restoring some physical strength.
After dawn, the long-lost sunlight was once again sprinkled on the sparkling sea by the sun. Everyone looked at the confusion of the rest of the people on the ship and had a feeling for the rest of their lives. They stood up and looked around.
Because of the storm for two consecutive days and one night, and there is no modern positioning device on the ship. Although there are old sea wolves such as Liu Laoliu and Horse Face, because there are no landmarks for reference, they can't figure out where the ship has floated in the past two days.
So the people on the ship can only search for land or islands at sea with their naked eyes after dawn. First, they can find a way to repair the ship, so that the ship can restore a certain navigation ability, and then determine the location to return to Xiaohuangdao.
Although the storm at sea has temporarily stopped, everyone on the ship has not relaxed now, because they don't have much food or much fresh water at present. If the storm in these two days has retreated them far away from the land and into the eastern sea, they will get off the ship with their current In this case, it is difficult to return to Xiaohuangdao or even return to land. In that case, they will still die of thirst or starve to death at sea.
After considering their current situation, the people on the ship became heavy again and got up one after another. While packing up the boat, they looked far away to find the possible land.
Yu Xiaotian felt a little ashamed of crying and laughing. He always felt that God seemed to be deliberately against him. When he crossed, he threw him into the sea and finally found a place to settle down. As soon as he went to sea, he brought him such a big storm, which almost zeroed his situation again.
However, his current situation can only be said to be a little better than when he traveled. At least he was not soaked in the sea, but in a small broken boat. He is not the only one on the boat. There are also several people who are connected with him, more or less some food.
While cleaning up the broken ship, Yu Xiaotian said in his mouth: Heaven will give great responsibility to the people. He must first work hard, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin... At present, there is really nothing to say about his luck, and he can only talk about himself and comfort him.
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 the ship could not be repaired at sea for the time being. The mast on the ship had been cut off and put down by him at the tightest time of the storm. Thrown into the sea, although the sail was desperately saved by them, without a mast, it can only be a decoration, and it is impossible to power the ship anymore.
The rudder of the ship was also interrupted by the huge waves. At this time, there is only a small part left, and there is no way to operate the ship. Almost most of the fishing nets on the ship have been lost in the storm, and only a broken fishing net is still on the ship, and the cables and sails are also lost in the storm.
As for the food brought on the ship, because they did not plan to go to sea for too long, they prepared very little. Now some of the food has also been soaked in seawater and has begun to become hapless. As for the freshwater ship, there is still a little bit, mainly the rain stored in the cabin area, but because the ship has poured into a lot. The sea water makes the rain a little salty and can only barely drink it.
For such a loss, they were worried and sat on the boat like mourning concubines, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
On the contrary, Liu Laoliu seems to have experienced more. At this time, he seems to be more calm. With the help of Xiaotian, Liu Laoliu stood up, checked on the boat, nodded to the horse face and said, "Don't cry. You have been living on the sea for so long. Is it still difficult for such a thing? Meet for the first time?
Get up, and the sails are not available for the time being, but before the ship is about to break down, it is still useful to find a place to repair. At present, find some ropes and nails on the fast boat board to make a temporary rudder. At this time, there is still wind on the sea. As long as you hold the rudder with the wind and drive the boat westward, you will return to the shore sooner or later!
I estimated that, not only to see the wind and waves on the sea the day before yesterday, we cut the mast early and the wind was small. In fact, the boat did not drift far away. It was not the time for you to sit and wait to die!
Brother Yu, you have to work harder. You have a lot of strength to help dismantle two boat boards. Others find a guy to repair the rudder of the boat first, and then find a way to shake it. We don't believe it. This strong wind has not taken our lives, can we still starve to death in this sea?
After listening to Liu Laoliu's words, the people on the ship regained some confidence. The horse's face wiped his long face, kicked the Meng madman sitting beside him, and scolded, "Madman Meng, do you see? Our brothers still have to count the sixth. Don't cry and make the younger generation laugh! Lao Liu is right. It's not the time to make us cry! Get up and work! Let's fix the rudder first! I don't want to be looked down by this old six! Get up, get up, and work!"
As soon as the words fell, the horse face came to Yu Xiaotian's side again, patted Yu Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "My horse face next to me didn't say anything. If Brother Yu hadn't been here this time, we wouldn't know what it would be like now! If you can go back this time, Brother Yu, don't worry. Even if you stop all the work, we will help you pick up the boat!"
Yu Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Ma is welcome! At present, we are in the same boat, and it's nothing for me to do more! That boat is actually good, but I still want the big family on the island to go fishing better than this boat! Uncle Ma, you don't have to say anything more! At present, let's find a way to find a place to repair the boat and go back!"
Meng madman also came to be fascinated now. He stood up and took a deep breath and said, "Lao Liu is Lao Liu, and he has seen more of the world than us! This is reasonable. At present, everything you say is bullshit. If you have this heart, it will be done! Let's find a way to repair the boat first!"
While talking, the people on the ship moved. At this time, everyone spared no effort to survive. They began to find a guy to repair the boat. The axe on the ship had not been lost. In addition, two fish knives and a waist knife for self-defense were found, but a saw on the ship did not know when it was lost. Rely on these guys to work.
Some of the seams of the boat were already leaking under the beating of the huge waves, so the horse's face casually tore a little hemp rope and began to block these leaking seams. Yu Xiaotian, under the guidance of Meng madman, chopped two boards on the boat with an axe and tried to pull out a few in an unimportant place on the boat. With iron nails and some hemp rope, he began to repair the rudder because of its humbleness.
After half a day of tossing, a temporary rudder was finally put together. Although it is not very strong and durable, the conditions are limited at present, so we can only make do it first.
At this time, because there was no mast on the ship, the ship had no power. It turned out that a large paddle on the ship had been lost, so they could only find two wooden sticks on the ship, connected them with ropes and cloth strips, and tried to install a fast board, put them on the stern, tied them with ropes, and acted as one. Temporary use.
In this way, the ship finally regained a little momentum, and everyone began to row in turn. After determining the direction, they struggled to row towards the west.
When the storm came, the temperature on the sea became very low, and the people on the ship were drenched by the waves and rainstorms. They were so cold that their lips were blue and blue. However, as soon as the storm passed, when the sun came to the sea again, the temperature immediately rose, and the temporary patchwork did not take advantage of it. , shaking is very laborious, and it can't provide much driving force, making the swing a hard job.
Every person who rotates will sweat hotly without shaking much. From time to time, he has to pull up the loose row and tie it up again. As a result, it is time-consuming and laborious, but the speed of the ship is still very slow.
Where has Yu Xiaotian played with this thing before? He can't swing at all. He has the strength but can't play a role. He grabbed the handle but shook it violently but didn't see the boat leave, which made everyone a little funny, but more or less diluted the depressing atmosphere on the ship.
Because he doesn't know their location and when they can get to land or find an island, Liu Laoliu proposed to strictly control the amount of drinking water. Everyone only gives very little water every day, which can only sustain life and quench his thirst.
So at the end of the day, coupled with the continuous rotation and swing, everyone sweated a lot and consumed a lot of water, but they could not get enough supplements, so soon the lips of the people on the ship began to dry, and their mental and physical strength began to decline significantly.
(I came home very late yesterday. In order not to go back on my promise, I had to call my wife to help me update a chapter for everyone! Today, I have to go back to my grandmother's house to deal with some finishing things, so I may only have to update one chapter! It seems that there is no hope to return to the top three this week!
In addition, the Chinese people's habits are really bad. Originally, their relatives were very sad, but they had to make the funeral like a national carnival! And change the law to make people spend money to entertain the public! If you don't agree to their request, you will talk about it, as if the funeral is to provide them with an unexpected entertainment! I really can't stand it! All relatives should be manipulated by them like actors or puppets! I don't know what these people are!)
