Chapter 3 Voyage to the Sea
[No pop-ups.]
The side of the big ship is buckled on the water, all supported by the buoyancy of the remaining air in the cabin With the continuous influx of seawater, the hull is also sinking Jiao Jian's dinghy has long been out of sight Chang Sihao knew that it would not last long to support it After a short break, he got up and swung his sword to chop the boat gang What is Li Shuang's guitar doing Chang Sihao said: "Before the ship sinks, let's get a few more planks It is best to make a small raft."
Li Shuangji nodded and said yes, pulled out the wave chopper and climbed up, and when he reached a high place, he saw that the wood of the ship rails here was still burning in many places, and the two big masts with half of the broken sails were leaning in the sea, steaming hot, he turned around and shouted: "The boat gang is not easy to get, let's cut these two big poles" looked at the direction and jumped down
Chang Sihao climbed up and took a look, Li Shuangji slashed the knife on the mainmast when he fell, and kept fishing for seawater to pour fire, and in a moment the rod body was black and wet, and then he took off his coat and took it up, and he rode on it and slashed it with a knife At this time, the hull was sinking faster and faster Chang Sihao hurriedly ran a few steps and jumped down to cut another side mast
Shipbuilding has a special attention to the small boat with a light help and a large ship with a heavy mast Just because the boat travels by manpower The lighter the hull, the more labor-saving the big ship sails to be pushed by the sail If the mast is not strong When it is damaged by strong winds, it will be much more difficult to row It is much more difficult to row The two masts on this boat have a thick root The wood is fine and far from being burned through Chang Sihao looked at the sinking speed Before the cut was finished, the ship was already sinking Hurriedly shouted loudly Li Shuangji went to the end Li Shuangji understood The two climbed to the middle of the mast and cut it up Ping Pong Chop It was cut down after a short time The wooden core can already be seen Chang Sihao suddenly felt that his body was long When he looked back, the hull was gone, and the mast was raised from flat to oblique, and it was about to be erected and sunk He hurriedly shouted: "Go up, go up" Li Shuangji promised The two of them twisted their bodies and got up, stepped on the mast and ran to the tip, and the angle became more and more inclined in a few steps, and it was difficult to stand firm Chang Sihao shouted loudly, jumped up hard, flew up with a kick with his internal strength, and was stomping on the top of the pole When he heard a "click" sound, the mast broke apart from the chop, and the pointed head was pointed down, and it pierced into the water with a "bang".
He stepped on the water with both feet and quickly drilled his head out I saw Li Shuangji looking anxious Still riding on the top of the mainst like an old cat hugging a tree He was sinking rapidly with the hull of the ship Hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Shake " Li Shuangji reacted and grabbed the head of the pole with both hands and shook his hips and hips Because of his large body and heavy body In addition, the wave chopping knife is more suitable for chopping than the sword The gap he just chopped was far deeper than Chang Sihao So he shook it a few times The mainst was crooked with a "crunch" sound He shook his ass and smashed it down With the sound of wood cracking, the whole person hugged the half-truncated mast and fell into the water with a "flutter" sound
The log couldn't sit still, but after entering the water, he tilted his body and buckled the bucket Chang Sihao swam hard with the half-mast that floated up, and dragged him up from the water, and the two breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked sideways, the whirlpool appeared, and the big ship was gone
Chang Sihao smiled: "It's a pity that it's a pity that it's not a blessing."
Li Shuangjiqi said: "It's a pity?"
Chang Sihao said: "If you want to go down with the boat, maybe you can be the old son-in-law of the Dragon King."
Li Shuangji stuck out his tongue and said: "His daughter is not serious, so Lao Tzu can't look down on it."
The two of them rested for a while, pulled off the broken rope and remnant sail that were burned on the mast, tied the two masts together in one place, and wrapped them in canvas, even then it was not wide enough, and the crest and wave shook so badly that they couldn't sit still at all, so they had to lie on it with their heads facing each other. Li Shuangji asked: "How far do you say we can go offshore?" Chang Sihao said: "I don't know" He glanced at the right hand side: "Jiao Jian's boat seems to be going that way, let's row that way, it should be okay" Li Shuangji followed his gaze and looked at the sea and sky, and there was no trace of any ship at all, and he wondered: "No, the direction in which the mast fell is this side, and the direction they left should be that side" Chang Sihao was also in a trance, hesitated for a moment, and said: "No, when we tied the mast, the direction had changed, and it should be based on the sunken ship, and the direction of the stern was the direction they left" Li Shuangji nodded, and the two looked out at the same time The water was empty How could they still tell the original position of the ship In despair, Li Shuangji's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "The sun is in the east, the shore is in the west, we must be wrong to row with the sun on our backs" Chang Sihao was overjoyed: "You kid really has a brain" At that moment, the two of them got up and straightened the mast to the sun, and then they were lying on their heads and feet together, and they paddled forward with their hands to pull the water Forward Paddle and row Chang Sihao's arm suddenly stopped moving and turned around and said: "What's wrong " Li Shuangji said: "The sun is only in the east in the morning What about now" Li Shuangji looked sideways The sun is hanging high in the middle of the sky Chang Sihao said: "At noon, no matter where you look at the sun, it's the same" Li Shuangji was stunned and said: "Then what's the whole thing" Chang Sihao got up and stuck his sword vertically on the mast Look at the shadow and say: " Now at this hour, the shadow should point to the north, so we should draw to the left," Li Shuangji nodded repeatedly, and then changed his route to the left
In fact, the direction of this method is not accurate, and the two of them have no experience of life at sea, so they both think that they are not wrong, and they struggle to row for about half an hour, only to see that the sea is still choppy, and the scenery is the same in front and back, left and right, as if it has always been at the original point, and has not moved forward for half a minute, and a great sense of frustration hits, which made them even more exhausted, and gradually they all stopped paddling, and their arms hung in the water, and they let the mast drift down the water
Before I knew it, the wind was rising suddenly, and the dark clouds were like dirty cloth lifted from the open sea, quickly obscuring the sky, and the thunder like rolling stones rumbled on the water, and the waves became more and more turbulent, and the waves were higher and higher, and the two masts couldn't help but hold these two masts high and threw them down Chang Sihao and Li Shuangji hugged them tightly The two hearts were also thrown high and low, fluttering and jumping Occasionally, the mast could be upturned by the waves and smashed into the water, shaking the two of them sometimes trembling and sometimes having back pain
The storm lasted for more than an hour before it subsided Chang Sihao tried to loosen his stiff arm and felt a hot pain on his body Only then did he find that the skin between his chest and abdomen had been worn out in many places He turned around and shouted: "Shuangji, we can't resist the wind and waves like this, we have to exhaust our strength sooner or later, and we have to think of a way" Li Shuangji shouted: "What way" Chang Sihao shouted: "Let's split the mast vertically and tie it into a square frame shape, so that it is more stable" Li Shuangji said: "Okay, according to what you said" The two took advantage of the fact that the wind and waves were not strong at this time and untied the rope and canvas that had been tied Chang Sihao went down to the water and held the mast between his two armpits to fix it, and Li Shuangji went to the other side to find the tip to split
This mast is originally hard and has been soaked in water for a long time It is extremely laborious to cut Chang Sihao took out the "wakicha" given to him by Qi Jiguang from his arms and handed it over and said: "Use it as a wedge and knock it with the back of the knife" Li Shuangji did as he said The wakicha blade was extremely sharp He split in to open the wedge He picked up the wave chopping knife and slammed it hard The back of the knife smashed the back of the knife Without entering much, he knocked the wakicha into it more than two feet He inserted the chopping wave back into the sheath Reached out and pulled out the wakicha and bit it in his mouth Relying on his shoulder and arm to be strong, he grabbed the split wooden crack and struggled to break the wedge along the wood grain But in the middle of the "click" broke off only a section about five feet long, he bit the knife and cursed vaguely, just about to throw it away, Chang Sihao shouted: "Don't throw it, it's getting dark, tie the I-shaped first, and hold on tonight."
Li Shuangji nodded, returned the wakicha to him, took the rope that was thrown, put the half of the wooden block vertically on the two masts, tied the cross flower with a rope, Chang Sihao had an idea, swam to the side, crossed the tail of the two masts, and tied them with a broken canvas, so that the whole formed a triangle, and actually had the appearance of a small boat, and the two of them got out of the water and climbed to it, and found that they could sit safely, and looked at each other, and looked at the red sunset in the distance, and there was a slight smile on their tired faces
After nightfall, the sea breeze became colder and colder, and the two of them stuck their swords on the raft, took off their clothes, hung them on it, and dried them, and went under the water to keep warm Every once in a while, they came up to recover their strength Until the clothes were dry, they put them back on Unable to sleep in the wind and waves, it was easy to stay up until dawn The two of them were cold, hungry, thirsty, and tired and they were already speechless Chang Sihao looked at the vast sea level and thought: "I don't know how far the land is There is still The most important thing now is to conserve physical strength One more day There will be more hope " Suddenly heard the sound of coughing behind him Looking back It turned out that Li Shuangji was trying to drink seawater, but the entrance was salty and astringent, and he vomited it out again, and scolded in a dumb voice: "This is like brine, you can order tofu" Chang Sihao said: "We have to find a way to get something to eat" Li Shuangji was happy: "There are fish in the sea, and it's not easy to get two."
The two of them tore off the cloth strips and braided rope from their clothes, tied one end to their wrists, tied the other end to the hilt of the sword, raised it in their hands and stared at the water, and looked until their eyes were dazzled, and still no fish swam past Li Shuangji said: "Not good" Chang Sihao looked over Li Shuangji said: "Maybe the dragon prince is a longevity, fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs are all gone with the gift" Chang Sihao smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know if he does longevity, but we are about to make an ancient " At this moment, Li Shuangji suddenly found that there was a bright and transparent thing in the water at the edge of the raft He inserted the knife back into the sheath, leaned over and reached out, and slowly scooped it up I felt that the touch was slippery, and the soup was dripping, as if he was holding a handful of snot, he raised his hand and shouted at Chang Sihao: "Look what this is?"
Chang Sihao saw his body shaking and called loudly: "How are you" Hurriedly came over to hold it I saw Li Shuangji's right hand swelling like a blow The skin of the palm also became transparent The blood vessels inside were green and silky, and the roots were visible as if the meat skin was mixed with rotten rope Li Shuangji opened his mouth to answer, and felt that half of his face was wooden, and the sound of spitting out became unbelievable Chang Sihao shouted in the sea breeze: "This thing is poisonous" and kicked and kicked the ball of "sea snot" back into the water He helped Li Shuangji to sit firmly Grabbing his arm and brushing it from top to bottom a few times Strips of cloth were tied to the base of his arm, and then he looked for a wound and squeezed out the blood, and when he was busy, the raft shook suddenly, and the thunder rolled in the sky, and the clouds and bitter fog rolled from behind, and the strong sea breeze made the corners of their clothes lap
Chang Sihao saw that the crests in the distance were like hills and mountains, and he exclaimed: "I want to be ......" hurriedly took off his clothes as quickly as possible, tied Li Shuangji to the raft, and as soon as the button was fastened, he felt that there was a sudden darkness in front of him, and when he looked back, a huge wave roared behind him, rising ten feet high, black and swarthy, like a wall of hell separating yin and yang
