otherworldly happiness

That night, everyone sat on the deck to enjoy the shade, watching the sea as flat as a mirror, and seeing a clear moon against the sparkling sea water. Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts until late in the day except for those on duty. Everyone else went back to sleep.

Li Jian was shaken awake in his sleep. At first he thought he was dreaming, but it became more and more serious. With the sound of rushing water, he could hear shouts everywhere, "Tie things up fast, all the sailors go up." Deck", the first thing Li Jian did when he woke up was to wake up the people in the cabin. At this time, he felt that the ship was shaking more and more violently. Everyone was thrown back and forth in the violent shaking of the ship, and finally stood up big and small Zhao and Yan The eldest brother went out to assemble as a sailor, and the remaining three of them were also busy tying up and fixing all the movable things in the cabin.

After finally getting it right, water started to come in the cabin, and I didn’t have time to worry about whether it was the hull leaking or the rainwater above, so I ran outside and went down to the cabin below to help check the cargo, although everything on the boat was dirty at the beginning. The lashing is done, but there will always be a breakaway during the violent shaking of the ship, so it must be lashed in time, otherwise if there are large and heavy objects scurrying back and forth in the cabin with the shaking of the ship, it is easy to damage the ship from the inside They are wooden boats after all, so it would be dangerous.

In the process of going down, it was extremely difficult. Originally, the hull of the ship was passing through the turbulent waves, and walking inside was swaying. We had to hold on to the wall and move forward slowly. On the way, we encountered everyone doing things within their ability. No matter what the original division of labor is, people like Li Jian who do odd jobs in the kitchen and pharmacy, although they don’t know the technical work of reefing and setting sail, they all go to the side cabin, and there are always things that need help within their own capabilities. , We all know that we must unite as one at this time to overcome this difficulty.

Before I went down inside, I heard someone inside yelling, "Come on, I need a rope here", "I can't handle it here, hurry up and don't bump into it", "The bilge is leaking, please come and order it"

Just hearing the sound of goods rubbing, the sound of ropes being tightened, and people shouting, the people who came down rushed in to help.

After a few hours, everyone had to endure the strong wind and rain, the wind and waves were rolling, and the other ships in the surrounding fleet had no time to see where they were.I feel so busy that the days seem like years, and I am exhausted and I still pray that I must go through it. In the sea, it feels like a huge ship is like a small boat drifting with the waves. No one cares about the route or anything. Thinking of the wind and waves, stop quickly.

When the wind and waves gradually subsided, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed on the deck, and everyone was grateful that they were still alive. At this time, most of them were sweating all over their bodies. Come over how bad the storm was just now.

The sea is always so capricious. This time the storm came and went quickly. When everyone was paralyzed on the deck and recovered, they realized that it was not yet dawn. They thought it had been a few days. Seconds are so difficult, the surroundings are pitch black, only a few lights newly hung on the mast of the ship are illuminating, as a member of the original fleet of dozens of ships, you can see other ships leaving not far away. I am very close, and sometimes the swaying figures on other boats can be seen clearly, but now a storm has dispersed, and there is only a little light here when the vast sea is dark, and I feel so lonely and small.

Li Jian was lying on the deck, soaked like everyone else, and couldn't care less about anything else. He just wanted to stop moving and rest. As for the loss of the fleet, let others worry about it. I don't have the ability to help. Whether it is offshore or ocean navigation, professional skills are required, whether it is looking at the starry sky to determine the orientation, or the use of the existing water compass, nautical compass, speed log, depth sounder, and the use of needle paths and charts. I don't even know how to use it.

There are also some chart logs that I have never seen before, and it is impossible for a small shrimp like myself to come into contact with them, especially the charts for the ocean going this time are only available on the main ship, other ships Knowing the general position and sailing direction, the nautical chart is still kept in the hands of the legendary nobleman. Every time it is used, the captain will check and confirm the course temporarily. After reading it, it will be collected immediately. The nautical chart represents endless wealth. There is also a reason to check the authenticity of this chart when going to sea this time. Having a real chart represents endless wealth in ocean trade.

When I was in the sun, I thought about raining and drinking some fresh water to take a bath. After the storm, I felt that I could survive. The storm caused a lot of damage. Although fortunately no one was killed or missing, almost everyone was injured , but there is a difference in severity, a lot of cargo is still soaking in the stagnant water in the cabin.

The water in the bottom warehouse is also knee-deep and needs to be drained out. More importantly, it is too dangerous to be out of the fleet in unfamiliar seas, and you need to find the course to find other ships. However, there are many damaged supplies on board that need to be repaired, and the rice surface has also been flooded. The ones need to be dried in the sun, otherwise it will be troublesome if they become moldy. If you eat them, you will be poisoned. The most important thing is that even if only light wine can quench your thirst, there are not many of them now. Many wine jars and water tanks were damaged in the storm. Even if you reduce the use every day, keep The minimum standard also needs a lot, and it won't last for too long. The fleet is facing the biggest crisis since it went to sea.

When the sky was bright, everyone drained the water in the cabin together, checked and drained the hidden dangers of damage to the cabin, and counted the surviving supplies, and then they knew the unfortunate news. Although they were all worried about the future, in case If you can't find the fleet, or if you don't supply it in time, everyone will be in danger.

The blue sky, the blue sea, the sun, and the listless crowd are the true portrayal of the ship Li Jian was on. Since the storm, the next few days were considered calm, but the problem of supplies was still resolved. It can be solved. Now the food on the boat is mainly fish, and there are not many seasonings. The taste can be imagined, and it is almost eaten raw.

It has been a few days since I survived the storm, and I haven’t seen any other ships in the fleet. The current direction is the original route that the fleet informed the ships in the future. There is no chart and only an approximate direction. According to Experienced sailors look at the astrology and the water compass to find the direction. There is no reference for people to identify the vast sea on the sea, and ordinary people are not competent. They are all responsible for experienced sailors.

The last jar of light wine on the boat is about to come to an end. Everyone has only shared a little to moisten their throats for two days in a row. The medicine was applied, but the weather was hot, the environment was bad, and the nutrition was not good enough. Many wounds were festered, but there was nothing to wash the wounds with fresh water and spirits. It is necessary to take measures against the survivors, that would be cruel, and it would be messed up. The united efforts made by everyone to survive were in vain a few days ago, so no one wants to do this unless it is absolutely necessary, let alone all in one place. Going through the storm together is a lifelong friendship.

Li Jian couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing everyone mourning in pain, he obviously had a way to solve this problem, but when he thought about the possible consequences, he fought a cold war. He didn't want to be burned to death and drowned, etc. Any kind of death.

The life I stole is not enough. Who can guarantee that after saving this boat, everyone will be grateful to you, and will obey you from now on. It's a pity that life is not a novel, even if you are needed now Good for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to use you when I get to the land, and it's good to be coerced, lured, detained and exploited waiting for me.

But you can't just ignore it, if you're all dead, you won't be able to drive a boat in this endless sea. Do you want to be a ghost ship with only yourself as a survivor, drifting on the sea?The best ending is to save them by yourself, and then leave secretly when you get to land, so that they can't find them, but this is also very risky, and I'm afraid that if you take out the things, you will be strictly guarded. If you use it, you will torture all the secrets. If you escape by chance, you may never be able to return to the Chu Dynasty, and you may not be able to go back to see Wu You. That is not the life you want to live.

Every time I encounter such a difficult thing to solve, I will find that my shortcomings are so obvious, I am indecisive and have no courage, and I can’t think of a solution to the problem. Maybe this is a problem of IQ?Or is it a matter of life experience?As a bottom-level commoner, I really have no concept of conspiracy and tricks. The solutions to problems are always not comprehensive enough. I have been trying to get rid of my problems. At least it is better than when I first came here. I will continue to work hard in the future Correct your own shortcomings.

In the shadow of Li Jian's hesitation and everyone's waiting for death, I finally saw the dawn of hope this morning. On the distant sea level, after the mist on the sea cleared, the outline of the land appeared. The sailor shouted excitedly, "We have seen the land, we are saved." Unfortunately, no one responded. It turned out that the "wolf is coming" had occurred several times in the past two days. It was either a thirsty hallucination or the famous mirage. , This is the situation again this morning and everyone is much calmer. Anyway, it is in the direction of the flight line, so let's go and have a look, even if it is a mirage, it will not delay your time.

Everyone has heard the saying "Looking at the mountain and running to a dead horse". It is very similar to the situation of seeing land at sea and still not being able to reach it all morning. Most people think it is a mirage again and have no hope. They lie on the deck in the cabin silently. Missing his relatives and friends, and his unrealized ideals, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers, and the voice became more and more excited. You must know that with the reduction of the light wine, the thirsty lips cracked and the throat smoked. Even the previous few "wolf is coming" everyone was not so excited.

Hearing that the voice was wrong, Li Jian couldn't help but want to go out and have a look. Brother Yan and Xiao Zhao were awake and saw that he was going out, so they told him to tell him something, and Li Jian went out, and the half-dead people lying on the deck got up. , there were people crying and cheering around the railing beside the boat, and when I looked there, it turned out that there was a seagull flying in the sky.

Li Jian is not calm anymore. Now he doesn't have to make his own choice. The land that looks far away must really exist. Generally, the predation range of seagulls will not be far from the land. They are also natural ocean forecasters. If the seagulls fly close to the surface, the future weather will be fine; if they wander along the coast, the weather will gradually get worse.If the seagulls leave the water, fly high, and fly in groups from far away from the sea to the seashore, or groups of seagulls gather on the beach or in the crevices of rocks, it indicates that a storm is coming, and they are just leisurely hunting, It means that the weather in the future will be good, so if the visibility is high, it is good to drive towards the distant land.

After a while, the people who came up to see the situation spread the news to the whole ship. Knowing that there was hope and no one would be able to calm down, Li Jian heaved a sigh of relief and cheered with everyone. Hope, at least there is no shortage of fresh water. Looking at the outline of the land in the distance, it is at least a large island. There is a high chance of fresh water. If gods kill gods and Buddhas kill Buddhas, there are really people who don't have long-sightedness to stop them, so let's light a candle for him.
