Dark clouds crushed the sky, and the salty wind was already cutting people's faces painfully.
The old boatman and sailors who received Li Er's order all looked solemn at this time.
The ship is still on sea trial and does not have a fixed captain. All instructions are given by the old sailor.
Fortunately, the old boatman is not only proficient in shipbuilding, but also has considerable experience in sea navigation.
After receiving Li Er's instructions, he took the telescope given by Li Er and quickly climbed to the top of the mast.
The old boatman looked quite old, but his movements were still very skillful.
But from his frown and white knuckles, it can be seen that he is not as calm as he appears to be.
After observing through the telescope, the old boatman stood directly on the mast and yelled to the sailors below: "Retract the mainsail and fill the hold with water."
His roar was loud, but the howling wind was even louder.
The voice had barely escaped his lips when it was instantly crushed by the strong wind, so that the sailors below could only vaguely hear individual words.
Fortunately, these sailors were also very experienced. Although they only vaguely heard a few words, it did not affect their execution of orders.
As roars rang out in the strong wind, the sailors on the mast quickly became busy, like geckos hit by the waves.
The wet hemp rope dug into his palm, and as soon as the blood seeped out, it was washed into a light red stream by the heavy rain.
At this moment, they were not only following orders, but also doing their utmost to protect their own lives.
Although they knew that Zhou Yu, who could send them from the Yangtze River into the sea, must have supernatural powers.
But who can guarantee that Zhou Yu is stronger than wind, rain, thunder and lightning?
At this time, instead of pinning your hopes on Zhou Yu, you might as well try your best.
Crash~
The clouds took advantage of the wind and rushed to our front in an instant.
The huge waves carried by the strong wind crushed the entire warship, making a creaking sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.
As for the little princesses, if Zhou Yu had not had the foresight to secure them on the boat in advance, they would probably have flown away by now.
Even Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others who had originally shown disdain were clinging to everything they could get their hands on.
As for those unsecured items in the cabin, they had already been smashed to pieces on the ground.
Even a few unlucky sailors were thrown out.
Fortunately, they had ropes tied around them in advance, so they were not eaten by the fish.
"Quick, full left!"
The old boatman's roar rang out again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood foam as he spoke.
I don't know if he was injured or bitten his tongue.
At this time, half of his body was hanging outside the side of the ship, one hand tightly holding the sail rope, and the other hand holding the telescope given by Li Er.
The waves hit him wildly, as if dragging him into the abyss, or pushing him onto the boat.
Fortunately, the sailors nearby were quick-witted and reached out to pull the rope hard, and the shaky old boatman fell back onto the deck.
Snap~
Huh~
Just as Zhou Yu was looking around, a noise suddenly came from the second-floor cabin.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the wind, like the howling of a ghost, reached everyone's ears.
In just a moment, the little princesses, who were already pale, screamed together.
"Little Nianjun, is there a siren on board?"
"What's that scream? It sounds scary~"
"Mr. Zhou, I'm scared~"
…
Seeing that even Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were terrified, Zhou Yu quickly explained loudly: "Don't be afraid, the sound is just the wind blowing through the porthole. The snapping sound just now should be the sound of the porthole being shattered by the waves."
As Zhou Yu spoke, he pointed to the stairs leading to the upper cabin.
The tables and chairs near the stairs had been blown to the corner by the wind.
After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, everyone felt relieved. However, the little girl was still worried and asked, "Little Nianjun, are we going to die here?"
"Don't worry! Even if the ship sinks, I have a way to get you away."
Zhou Yu stepped forward to help the little girl tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and then looked outside.
At this moment, the sky was like black ink rolling continuously.
After the mainsail was lowered, the topsail was also lowered with the cooperation of the sailors.
However, because it was not lowered in time, the canvas had already been blown to pieces by the wind, like a frightened white dove, flying around in panic.
“Help…Help…”
Faintly, Zhou Yu seemed to hear a cry for help.
But when he looked around, he didn't see anyone.
In doubt, he immediately rushed outside and saw a piece of cable swaying in the wind like a spirit-calling banner.
Just from the amplitude of the swing, it was obvious that there was a heavy object wrapped around the other end of the rope.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu understood what was going on. He took three or two steps forward and grabbed the cable that was still floating in the air.
As soon as the cable was in hand, a pulling force was felt.
In a moment, Zhou Yu was almost taken away.
Fortunately, he was prepared and grabbed the side of the boat in time to regain his balance.
Looking out, I saw a young soldier hanging upside down outside the ship with a rope wrapped around his ankles.
The ropes around his ankles were merely tangled together, not tied in a knot.
Once the tangled ropes lose their force, the soldier will surely be swallowed by the sea.
