Chapter 336 Fleet in distress(2/2)

Although there were whale oil candles in the cabin, no one dared to get angry in this weather.

Yang Qiwa was lying on the small wooden bed, rolling around and unable to sleep.

The crashing sound of the waves was clearly transmitted to her ears. Even if she was holding on to the edge of the bed with one hand, Yang Qiwa felt that she would be thrown off the bed at any time.

What makes people even more desperate is that Yang Qiwa can still feel the "Donghai Fishery" he is on rising into the sky and then falling on the sea from time to time.

How big the wind and waves must be to toss a ship more than ten feet long like this?

No one spoke in the cabin, but the heavy breathing of the crew was clearly audible.

Obviously, Yang Qiwa was not the only one who couldn't sleep.

Everyone makes a living at sea, and it’s not just a day or two anymore.

To be honest, many people are mentally prepared for the worst.

However, when this moment comes, few can truly face it calmly.

"Everyone, please help each other. If you want to sleep, tie yourself to the bed."

Yuchi Huan walked around the cabin and felt that everyone should try to sleep as much as possible.

Anyway, in this situation, there is no place to escape.

If no measures are taken, even if Xin Da falls asleep, he may be injured due to the rolling of the boat, so proper fixation is necessary.

Of course, it's not really like tying up a prisoner, it's just appropriate restraint to avoid being thrown out of bed after falling asleep.

"Brother Yuchi, you should go and take a nap too. I'll keep watch for half the night and you will keep watch for the rest of the night."

Fang Yiai followed Yuchi Huan, but she was calmer than ordinary people.

Having a weak brain sometimes is not entirely a bad thing.

In fact, not thinking so much at this time is actually the best way to deal with it.

Because no matter how much you think, it's useless.

On the contrary, if some people's psychological quality is too poor and they think too much, they will easily get into trouble.

"You go to sleep first. You have a good rest tonight. You can go to the deck to replace Captain Zhu during the day tomorrow."

A huge wave hit, Yuchi Huan stumbled and almost fell to the ground in the darkness.

On the deck, Zhu Erfu and the helmsman worked together to lower the main sail by half again.

The wind was so strong that even with half sail, the ship couldn't bear it.

However, the sail cannot be raised at all, otherwise, the ship will be completely out of control.

How to grasp the degree of this is really a difficult problem.

Fortunately, Zhu Erfu was also experienced and made the correct response several times when the ship tilted excessively.

"Lao Zhu, you go and rest for a while, I'll change you."

By the light of lightning, Yuchi Huan came to Zhu Erfu with a cable tied around his waist.

From evening to now, Zhu Erfu has basically not eaten much and is in high tension all the time.

Even an iron man cannot bear it.

Yuchi Huan didn't want him to collapse on the first night.

Judging from the situation of this hurricane, it should be an unprecedented storm that will not be able to survive for a while.

"Hold the mast tight, if the wind continues to get stronger, the mainsail will have to be lowered again!"

"What? Can't hear you clearly!"

Zhu Erfu shouted as loud as he could, but Yuchi Huan heard nothing in the "woo-woo" hurricane.

"Hold the mast tight, if the wind continues to get stronger, the mainsail will have to be lowered again."

Zhu Erfu held the mast with one hand and Yuchi Huan's shoulder with the other, and roared loudly in Yuchi Huan's ears.

Yuchi Huan imitated Li Kuan's example, stretched out his right hand and made an "ok" gesture.

"Boom!"

"Snapped!"

Yuchi Huan had never felt that lightning was so close to him.

In the past, he had no feeling for the term "dark clouds pressing down on the city", but now he saw that the entire bow of the ship was shrouded in dark clouds, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night. The feeling of "dark clouds pressing down on the city" was stronger than ever.

The only good thing is that in the occasional bright light, you can still see the two ships on the left and right floating in the same direction as you.

I hope everyone can get through this hurricane safely.

In the second half of the night, the rain seemed to get heavier.

He couldn't see clearly the scene of raindrops falling, because Yuchi Huan felt that it was not raining at all, but water was pouring from the sky.

This kind of violent precipitation was also the first time Yuchihuan encountered it in his life.

No matter what kind of coir raincoat or bamboo hat.

At this time, it is of no use.

On the contrary, it may become a burden.

In order to facilitate the flexible operation of his hands and feet, Yu Chihuan wore a pair of shorts, hugged the mast tightly, and monitored the sea conditions with several crew members at all times.

Every time a wave breaks over, there will be a burst of water on the deck.

Yuchihuan even saw unlucky fish and shrimp washed up on the deck several times.

The night is long and difficult.

It should be dawn now, and thunder and lightning are no longer so frequent.

However, the rainfall has not decreased at all, and the wind power has not dropped at all.

The Donghai Fishery is like a leaf, floating in the wind on the sea.

I don’t know how long this kind of life lasted, maybe it was one day and one night, maybe it was one day and two nights.

In short, when the wind began to subside and the sun shone on the deck again, either Yuchi, Fang Yiai, or Zhu Erfu were all slumped on the deck exhausted.

Finally a life was saved.

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help grinning.

In the past two days, the ship has been in dangerous situations several times.

Among them, one time it was lifted up by wind and waves, and when it fell into the water again, the entire bow was submerged in the sea water.

If the bow of the clipper ship hadn't been hollow in its design, the ship might have been destroyed that time.

Several people reconfirmed the situation in the surrounding waters. Although the other two ships were spread out a bit far away, they could still be seen floating safely on the water.

What a blessing!

"Langjun, Captain, the fresh water and food on the ship are almost gone. Especially the fresh water, it can only last for two more days at most."

Just when a few people were secretly rejoicing, a voice brought everyone back to reality.

The fresh water is gone and the food is gone.
