Su Mushang went to the dock and checked the boat with the young soldier who was driving the boat, but found no problems, so he had to go back to the military area.
The more he thought about it along the way, the more uneasy he felt. He returned to the military region and immediately went to discuss it with Political Commissar Liu.
Finally, we found a patrol boat to patrol the area along the dock to Li City.
Moo Moo always wanted Song Chucheng to hold him. If she showed any sign of putting him down, he would immediately start whining.
When Grandma Su and Mother Song saw this, they were a little worried, wondering if he was feeling unwell. A child who was too young could not tell where he was feeling unwell. He cried for no reason, and they were worried that he might have a stomachache or something.
Song Chucheng held the baby for about an hour. The sky outside suddenly became gloomy, with dark clouds, rumbling thunder and lightning, and big raindrops fell.
As soon as Song's father carried Rourou in, heavy rain started pouring down outside, covering the sky and the earth.
Looking at the weather outside, Song Chucheng lowered her head and looked at Moo Moo who had let go of her hand, and held him tightly. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the boat leaving the island today.
"Grandpa, you said..."
Before she finished speaking, Grandpa Su knew what she was going to say.
He walked to the door and looked at the weather outside, muttering, "Thunderstorms are common on islands, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The rain will stop soon."
But he knew it very well in his heart that it would be normal under normal circumstances, but his great-grandson's reaction in the morning made him think too much.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to split the dark sky in two, and with a roar of thunder, it exploded overhead. Grandpa Su and everyone present trembled violently in their hearts.
Moo Moo in his arms also opened his eyes, and Song Chucheng's heart softened instantly. He lowered his head and kissed his forehead:
"Moo, good boy, go to sleep! Mommy won't leave, Mommy won't leave."
Moo Moo seemed to understand and closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Rourou lay in Father Song's arms, looking at the heavy rain outside and laughing, stretching out her chubby little hands, looking as if she wanted to go outside.
At this time, the boat to Li City encountered a thunderstorm halfway. The sister-in-law and the mother-in-law sitting in the cabin didn't think anything of it. After all, it is very common to encounter thunderstorms at sea.
Especially the young soldiers who drive the boat, they run back and forth every day, several times a day, and they encounter thunderstorms very often. However, they will definitely be more careful when it rains heavily, but they don’t care about other things and just drive as usual.
This boat was the first one of the day, and it had the most people on it every day. There were 32 people on the boat, including my sister-in-law, my wife, my son-in-law, etc.
It just so happened that the lightning struck their boat right on target, leaving a big hole in it. Because it was a wooden boat, the part that was struck by the lightning also caught fire.
Seeing that the boat was about to sink, the sisters-in-law in the cabin were all in a panic, crying and shouting...
Fortunately, the patrol boat was nearby and arrived at the first opportunity.
Fortunately, everyone on the boat was fine. They were rescued by people who came after just a few soaks in the sea water.
If no patrol boat had arrived at this critical moment, and if we had waited for the search and rescue boat and patrol boat at the dock to arrive, the outcome would not have been so fortunate.
Looking at the vast ocean, both the people being rescued and the young soldiers who were saving them could not calm down for a long time!
They dared not think! If their ship had not followed far behind...
Thirty-two people, big and small! That’s thirty-two lives…
The two old women who recovered first hugged their grandchildren in their arms and burst into tears!
It was like he was howling for what had happened to him, or howling for his escape from death, but it should be more like howling for his luck!
When the news reached the military district, Su Mushang and his men were still training in the heavy rain. When he heard that all 32 people were fine, he looked up at the sky and let the rain hit his face...
Everything is alright... Everything is alright...
"Dad, Mom, was that the first ship Orange was on? That ship was sunk by lightning!"
Uncle Su ran in from outside in the rain without even an umbrella.
Probably because he was afraid that Grandpa Su and the others would worry, he panted and shouted loudly: "But everyone has been rescued, and they are all fine. Let's go and check, Lao Liao has passed away!"
They all heard Uncle Su's voice before his men entered the yard, and even the heavy rain outside could not block out his voice.
Song Chucheng: “…”
When Grandpa Su and the others heard that the ship had sunk, their hearts sank, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the second half of the sentence.
Seeing Uncle Su running in the rain, Song Chucheng was also very moved: "Uncle, I didn't go to Li City today. You should go change your clothes first! Don't catch a cold!"
"Yes! Chief, you go change your clothes first. I'll go to the dock to help and tell Liao Jun by the way." After Li Wang finished speaking, he put on his raincoat and walked out.
He was secretly glad that Orange didn't get on this boat. Even if he was fine, it wouldn't be good if he got scared like this. Thinking that there were kids and old people on the boat, he walked faster, almost jogging over.
When Uncle Su saw his niece-in-law at home, he felt relieved. He sat down on the doorstep and patted his chest to calm himself down.
"Go change it right away. Your uncle is scared to death now."
As he said that, he stood up from the ground again and walked towards the second bedroom, where Grandpa Su, Grandma Su and Uncle Su had all put their clothes there.
"It's a good thing you didn't go, Chengzi!" Song's mother covered her chest with her hands, her face pale.
As soon as Uncle Su came out after changing his clothes, Grandpa Su asked, "What happened? Why did the boat sink?"
Grandma Su handed him a cup of warm water. Uncle Su took it and drank a big sip. He took a deep breath and said:
"The ship was struck by lightning halfway through, leaving a large hole and catching fire. Fortunately, a patrol boat was following nearby. All 32 people on board are safe now. They should be reaching the dock soon."
Hearing about the patrol boat, Grandpa Su thought that it must be his grandson who went to find Xiao Liu and the others to make the decision. He also nodded secretly to Xiao Liu in his heart.
No problems were found on the ship, but it is better to be prepared for any unexpected accidents.
Soon the news spread throughout the family compound, and the family members who had boarded the ship in the morning all rushed to the dock, and the people from the logistics department also rushed over carrying ginger soup.
(Originally, all 32 of us were like that, but I just can’t help but feel unhappy. I just want everyone to be the luckiest people!)
