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

Chapter 219 The Storm is Coming

When the fleet entered the devil's reef, the big ship visibly bumped, and there was a sound from time to time when the bottom of the ship came into contact with the reef by chance.The most feared thing on a boat is hitting a rock. Whenever such a sound is heard, the people on the boat are all in fear.

Fortunately, all the ships in the fleet are the strongest.Don't look at the wooden hull, but the thickness of those wooden boards is far beyond imagination, and ordinary collisions cannot damage the hull itself.

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and there was a strong wind and huge waves on the sea. The big waves hit the hull, and the huge force caused the boat to sway with the waves.The people on the boat still firmly held on to their positions, and no one moved half a step.

It should be noon, but at this time, there is no shadow of the sun, and there is darkness all around.At this time, there is no way to use the position of the sun to identify the direction, and the compass on the ship, at this time, the pointer turns around and cannot point to the correct direction.

Old Xu could only rely on his own memory, and together with the helmsmen, he carefully steered the big ship, avoiding hidden reefs one after another, and heading towards the island in front.As soon as they reached shallow water, they could drop anchor and wait for the storm to pass.

Just as the fleet was trying to cross the devil's reef, on their target island, someone saw the dozen or so large ships on the sea from a high observation deck. "Boss, there are a large number of ships passing through the Devil's Reef and heading towards us." Someone shouted loudly.

On the observation deck, a very burly man smiled after hearing this. "Command, tell all brothers to hide in the cave. Wait, wait until those boats stop, and after they have survived the storm in fear, it is a good time for us to do it."

"God is really distressed. We just moved to this island, and we were worrying about how to live in the future. In the end, we were sent such a large piece of fat. Brothers, cheer up and send it to us. We must not let go of the fat around our mouths. Leave some people to keep an eye on the movement of the fleet, and the rest of them, quickly hide, so as not to be discovered by them."

It turned out that there was a group of pirates hiding here, and at this moment, the leader of the pirates was smiling wildly and complacently.The group of pirates next to them followed the leader's order at this moment, and each of them found a place to settle down.The storm is coming, manpower is limited after all, at this time, it is better to hide first.

The situation on the island was unknown to the people in the fleet. At this moment, they were still working hard, racing against the storm.Finally, after a lot of effort, the fleet finally passed the devil's reef without any danger.At this time, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.However, they could not relax at this time, because the wind was stronger at the moment, and it seemed that a hurricane was coming.

"Drive at full speed and try to reach the shallow water area to stop the boat as soon as possible." Chu Ruifeng ordered, and the sailors shook the long scull, and coordinated with the sail, they drove all the way towards the island.

After the fleet reached a certain depth of water, Chu Ruifeng ordered all the ships to move closer together.At the same time, the boatmen pulled the winch and slowly dropped the huge anchor into the water.This big iron anchor was very heavy, and it was relatively easy to put into the water. When lifting the anchor, it took hundreds of people to work together to pull the winch.

Nineteen ships docked at one place, and then everyone worked together to lower the sails.In this way, there is less resistance when the wind blows, and the hull will not be driven too much.Then, the sailors have to use the chains and cables prepared on the ship to connect the ships to each other.In this way, how much can also increase the ability to resist hurricanes.

But at this time, the sky was already filled with lightning and thunder, and huge raindrops were crackling down, hitting people's faces and hands, causing pain. "Hurry up and be careful, get into the cabin and hide when you're done." Old Xu shouted over there.

Everyone's movements are very fast, and it doesn't take long, what should be done is almost done.Of course, even if it was like this, everyone would be drowned, even Chu Ruifeng was no exception.He had been busy working with everyone just now, and now his whole body was soaked by rain.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and the wind was blowing so that people could not wait to fly up, Chu Ruifeng quickly ordered everyone to hide quickly and stop walking around.As a result, everyone returned to the cabin one after another, Chu Ruifeng and Qingyun Qinglei Qingdian, also all wet, returned to their respective rooms on the second floor of the rudder tower.

Chu Ruifeng's room is at the innermost part of this floor.When he passed Qiaoyun's room, he saw Qiaoyun just coming out of the room, the eyes of the two met, Chu Ruifeng couldn't help frowning. "It's very windy and windy outside, don't come out, just stay in the house, you know?"

Although Chu Ruifeng frowned, there was still a hint of concern in that tone.Qiaoyun suddenly remembered what happened in the morning, and her face felt a little hot involuntarily.She tried her best to calm down, and then said, "I feel that the boat is not shaking so much, is it docked somewhere? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It's nothing, it's almost the same. However, with today's state, eating has become a problem. I guess I'm going to starve. Bear with it, and you can cook after the storm is over." The hurricane is coming soon, and when the time comes I still don't know what it's going to look like. I definitely can't cook today, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Qiao Yun shook her head, "It's okay, I can hold it back, you're all soaked through, you'd better go back to the house and change your clothes." Since she has nothing to do, don't waste time here.These people were all wet, so it was more important to get them to change quickly.After Qiaoyun finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house.

Chu Ruifeng and the others also went back to their houses at this time, casually found clean clothes to change, and then stayed quietly in the house.

The strong wind outside created huge waves, and the wind and waves rushed straight towards the boat. The huge waves hit the hull, shaking the boat along with it.The wind and waves rushed towards the fleet one after another, and the masts on the ship were creaked by the hurricane.

The pouring rain poured down even more, and the rain quickly gathered on the deck.Fortunately, there are drainage devices on the boat, and the rainwater flows away along the special device, so as not to submerge the boat.

Qiaoyun sat in the room, hearing the howling wind, rumbling thunder, and the crackling sound of the rainwater miscellaneous boat. At such a moment, Qiaoyun really felt the danger of the wind and waves at sea. "I hope this storm will pass quickly. This feeling is really scary." She muttered in a low voice.
