Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 218 Devil's Reef
The situation on the sea is unpredictable, and it was sunny and sunny one moment ago, but it is very likely that the situation will suddenly change suddenly.Qiao Yun had just watered the vegetables, and before she could turn around to go back, she saw dark clouds gathering rapidly in the sky, and half of the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

At this time, the person on board who was in charge of observing the sky and predicting the weather also hurriedly reported to Chu Ruifeng, "Master, looking at the weather, there may be a storm, so we should find a place to dock as soon as possible and leave after the storm passes." Sailing at sea, The most feared thing is the storm, especially the hurricane, that is the biggest threat.

Chu Ruifeng also saw the change in the weather, so he unfolded the nautical chart with everyone, looking for the nearest port that could be called.But when they checked the map, they gasped.

It turns out that sixty or seventy miles southeast of this place, there are large islands.But if you want to dock there, you must pass through a devil's reef.The sea water there is relatively shallow, and there are hideous and terrifying reefs under the water, with countless torrents hidden.Also, it is very strange that once the ship enters, the compass will not work well.

"Master, what should we do? Shall we dock there?" The leader of the helmsman hesitated, so he could only ask Chu Ruifeng with a solemn expression.

"Old Xu, are you sure about walking this devil's reef?" Chu Ruifeng's expression was also a little dignified.If they don't go to the nearby island to avoid the storm, if they encounter a hurricane on this vast sea, they may have unpredictable results.

But the Devil's Reef is a famously weird place.I don't know how many fleets there are, and where they suffered losses. Many ships were either lost in the waters of the reef and could not get out, or they hit the rocks and sank.There, it is notoriously dangerous.

The leader of the helmsman was also a little uncertain, "Master, I have walked through the devil's reef a few times. If the weather is fine, it will not be a problem at all. If we want to pass, we must take advantage of the weather before it completely deteriorates. Hurry through Devil's Reef."

Chu Ruifeng knew very well that this storm must be very severe, and they must find a port to dock as soon as possible.Otherwise, the result is really unpredictable.Compared with the storm, Devil's Reef and the others are still a little bit sure. "Okay, immediately send a signal and order the ships behind to sail eastward and follow our ship all the way, not to be left behind."

As soon as Chu Ruifeng finished speaking, someone rushed to the top of the rudder tower and began to send signals to other ships behind.I saw the man waving all kinds of chess pieces in his hand, and after a while, the ships behind all responded.

At this time, the helmsmen had already gathered in the operating room of the rudder tower, and all of them worked together to keep an eye on the situation on the sea surface in order to prepare for emergencies.On the deck, the sailors were also ready to fight, and according to Lao Xu's order, they began to pull the winch to control the direction of the sail.

"I order everyone on board to quickly enter a state of alert, and the idlers wait to hide in the cabin as quickly as possible, and are not allowed to move around at will." Chu Ruifeng ordered with a serious face.

In fact, before Chu Ruifeng gave orders, the people on the ship had already taken their positions. They were all very experienced sailors and guards.

Qiaoyun, Xiaoshitou, and Aunt Chuntao and Li had already gone back to their houses and stayed obediently.Although Qiaoyun is still very curious about all this, she knows that this is not a joke, she must be obedient.Once something goes wrong, it's a big deal.

The sky was getting cloudy little by little, and big groups of dark clouds seemed to be just overhead.Through the pane, Qiao Yun looked at the dark clouds outside, and her heart sank.Can they find a place to dock before the storm comes?

Under the command of Chu Ruifeng, the fleet moved towards the southeast quickly, and at this time, in the rudder tower, the captain of the ship, Lao Xu, was also giving orders one after another.Devil's Reef is full of traps, and the water level is very shallow. If you want to drive safely in it, you must raise the rudder to avoid hitting the reef.

Old Xu is a very experienced helmsman, and he has been here many times. It should be said that he is still very familiar with this water area.At this moment, he issued orders very calmly. Some people operated according to Lao Xu's instructions, and some people quickly conveyed Lao Xu's meaning to the top floor, and then passed the semaphore to the ships behind.

The wind had already started to blow on the sea, and the hunting sea breeze bulged the sails. The sailors had already adjusted the direction of the sails. Driven by the sea wind, the big ship quickly sailed into the waters of the devil's reef.

When the ship entered this area of ​​water, due to the influence of the ocean currents and hidden reefs below, the ship began to bump a little.The slight turbulence at the bottom of the ship, transmitted to the top, and the effect of sea water, will turn into violent shaking.Fortunately, the sailors on the ship were used to such fluctuations. Even though the ship began to shake, their movements were still unaffected. Everyone performed their duties, and no one panicked.

But Qiao Yun, Xiao Shitou and others in the cabin couldn't bear it.Qiao Yun had never encountered such a big turbulence since boarding the ship.Right now, she felt dizzy and nauseated in her stomach.It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't get seasick, but that when she didn't experience severe seasickness, Qiao Yun felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

"Qiaoyun, this is dried red bayberry. Hurry up and put a few in your mouth, lest you can't bear it." At this time, Yuan Qinglei suddenly opened the door and came in from the outside. He took a purse in his hand and hurriedly took out two. The dark red thing was handed to Qiao Yun.

"Is this useful?" Qiao Yun asked with some difficulty, she didn't even dare to speak now, for fear that if she talked too much, it would be bad if she accidentally vomited out of nausea.

"It's useful. People who often go to sea have prepared this. Hurry up and hold it, it will be much more comfortable. Just stay in the room and don't go out. The furniture in this room is nailed and will not move or move." It will hurt you. You can sit on the bed and hold onto the pillar, it will be more stable." Yuan Qinglei said hastily.

Qiaoyun stretched out her hand, took two pieces of dried red bayberry, and put it in her mouth.The dried bayberry seems to be specially made, and there are other herbs in it.After being soaked in saliva, a sour taste with a little bit of herbal medicine slowly melted in his mouth, Qiaoyun felt that the feeling of nausea seemed to have eased a lot.

"Well, this is really useful, big brother, thank you." Qiaoyun was relieved at this moment, she was really afraid that she would get very seasick, so she vomited it out.

"Don't go out in the house, I'll see if I can help." Yuan Qinglei ordered, then left from here and went out to help.
