Chapter 572: Storm

Today's weather is very bad, the black clouds seem to be pressing on the top of people's heads, the original blue water has also become a turbid color, and the seagulls that always fly close to the sea surface on weekdays have also left the water and flew high above the water, flying from the sea to the sea in groups, and those who know know that all this indicates that a storm is coming.

On the sea about ten miles away from the port of Bengang, a small fishing boat was heading towards the port to the north, although the sails of the fishing boat had been raised to the highest point, the people on the fishing boat still felt that the speed was too slow, and they themselves picked up the oars and rowed desperately.

There were two people on the small fishing boat, a middle-aged man in his thirties and a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

The middle-aged man had a dark complexion and looked like a typical coastal fisherman, while the girl had wheat-colored skin and an average appearance, but she had a pair of large eyes that were particularly bright and bright. At this time, both of them looked serious, staring hard at the paddle ahead.

The middle-aged man looked up at the gloomy sky, the worry on his face became more and more intense, he turned his head to the girl on the side and said, "Zhu Niang, use a little more force, God is probably going to be angry when you look at this situation." ”

The girl didn't speak, just nodded and increased the speed of the oars, she has followed her father to sea since she was a child, she knows very well the horror of the storm at sea, even those thousands of big ships are afraid to avoid it, let alone their small fishing boat, for which I don't know how many people die in the belly of the fish every year.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the dark clouds in the sky became darker, and from the surface of the sea it seemed almost to the top of people's heads, when suddenly a muffled thunder sounded in mid-air.

"Click......"

With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning pierced the clouds, instantly illuminating the entire sky, and the raindrops finally fell.

At first, the raindrops were still a little sparse, but soon turned into heavy rain, and the raindrops the size of beans were splashed down like a downpour, accompanied by waves of waves, and the wind began to blow, and the fierce sea breeze blew the small fishing boat to sway, like a small leaf drifting on the sea, and the small fishing boat was in danger of capsizing at any time.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man shouted loudly while paddling hard: "Zhu Niang, immediately put the sail down...... Otherwise the ship will capsize......"

The girl didn't talk nonsense, put down the wooden oars and ran to the mast with great difficulty, untied the rope and lowered the sail, after the sail was lowered, the mast that had been blown "clucking" finally stopped sounding, but the speed also quickly decreased.

The middle-aged man looked at the roaring waves, and there was a look of despair in his eyes, although they are still less than ten miles away from the port, this distance is probably about to become a moat where heaven and man will never say goodbye.

Although the middle-aged man and the girl rowed desperately with their oars, their efforts seemed so pale in front of the incomparable power of nature, and the docile little fishing boats did not listen to them at all, and they would go up and down in the huge waves, and they would be swallowed up by the big waves.

The man couldn't help but throw down the carpenter in his hand anymore, stretched out his finger and pointed at the black oppressive sky, and scolded angrily: "Damn thief, God, won't you even give us a little way to live?" ”

"Click......" responded to the man with a loud bang and dazzling lightning.

On the contrary, the girl seemed calmer, and even comforted: "Daddy...... Don't be sad, I don't want you, if it weren't for my dowry, you wouldn't have gone out to sea to fish in this weather, and you wouldn't have encountered wind and waves. ”

Hearing his daughter's words, the middle-aged man's originally angry face showed a guilty look, and he sighed: "Zhu Niang, dad can't stand you, you haven't enjoyed a day of happiness since you were a child, I wanted to save more money to marry you beautifully, but I didn't expect to take my life." ”

"Daddy...... It's not your fault, it's all fate! Speaking of this, the girl's originally calm face finally showed a hint of gloom, but then she raised her head, and the raindrops the size of beans kept falling on her head, and kept sliding down her face, and she tried to hold her head high and said loudly: "Daddy...... If there is a next life, I will be your daughter. ”

"Good boy!"

After listening to his daughter's words, the strong man grabbed Zhu Niang's hand, choked up and said, "Okay...... Good...... Even if we die, we will die together! ”

The wind and waves are getting stronger, and the small fishing boat will be thrown into the sky by the waves, and then it will fall from the air again, and in the big waves, the small boat may capsize at any time.

In this case, the father and daughter could do nothing but hold hands and hold on to the mast and wait for the last moment.

"Click......"

Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky and swept near the boat, and the girl, who felt a little stinging in her eyes, turned her head to the side, and just as he turned his head, a dark shadow appeared in her sight.

"Huh......"

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and then she wiped her eyes with the sleeves of her coat that had already been soaked by the rain, and this time she didn't care, and one of her small mouths immediately opened wide.

In the girl's blurred vision, a large ship began to appear in her eye sockets, followed by a second, a third......

"Ah......h

Seeing this amazing scene, this made the girl, who was already ready to meet death, unable to help but let out an exclamation anymore.

Hearing his daughter's exclamation, the middle-aged man thought that his daughter couldn't hold on, so he grabbed the girl's hand and comforted: "Good daughter, don't be afraid, even a dead father will accompany you." ”

Zhu Niang stretched out her finger and stammered at the right back, "No...... No...... Daddy, look...... Greatly...... Ship! ”

The middle-aged man thought that his daughter was so frightened that he hallucinated, and couldn't help scolding: "The fart boat, Lao Tzu...... Father...... Hell yes......"

In the sight of the two of them, although the wind and waves on the sea are still so strong, the fleet is still moving firmly forward, and many sailors can be seen constantly busy on the ship.

"Ship...... A ship is coming! ”

"Someone's coming...... Help......"

Zhu Niang's first reaction was to raise her arms high, tear her throat and shout. It's just that her voice seemed so weak in front of nature, and the big ship passed them less than two hundred meters away, followed by the second, and then the third......

Looking at the warships that had been tried in front of her, Zhu Niang stared at her big eyes and muttered in disbelief: "He...... They...... How can they ignore us? How can they see death without saving them? ”

In the girl's heart, if you meet someone in distress at sea, if you have the ability, whoever will lend a helping hand, this is also the rule of people who beg for a living in the sea.

The reason why there is this rule is because no one knows when they will encounter difficulties at sea in people who often go to sea, so I don't know when this rule has been handed down, except for pirates, of course!

Now seeing such a large fleet sailing in front of her, Zhu Niang didn't mention how aggrieved she was, she was unwilling and wanted to shout, but was stopped by a middle-aged man.

"Zhu Niang...... Don't waste your efforts, they won't save us. ”

"Why!" Zhu Niang couldn't help but be angry after hearing this, "They still don't follow the rules, why don't they save them when they die?" ”

The man smiled helplessly: "With such a big wind and waves, and our ship is so small, it is difficult to find us unless our eyes are particularly good." Besides, even if we are discovered, it will be difficult to save us in this situation. ”

"This ......" Zhu Niang's originally bright eyes couldn't help but dim after hearing this, is it really going to be buried here today?

Just when Zhu Niang felt desperate, a ship suddenly broke away from the formation and headed in their direction, when the ship came to a distance of dozens of meters from them, several long ropes were thrown from the boat, and while running down with the ropes, a voice also faintly reached their ears.

"Hold on to the rope!"

"Hold on to ......"

More than ten minutes later, when the exhausted middle-aged man and Zhu Niang were lying on the deck and looking down, the boat they were originally on had disappeared into the wind and waves......
