C251 (1/2)
The storm lasted for the greater part of the night. When dawn approached, the long-awaited dawn fell on the broken window frame.
Inside the cabin, everyone was still sitting in the same position. The soul-stirring turmoil of the entire night hadn't dispersed, and it still enveloped everyone's hearts.
A follower came in to report the situation to Manager Qi, ”Owner, we lost a total of six people last night. They were all blown away, and all their cabins were damaged.
Five or six days was much better than he had expected. He would be able to save some time and barely make it to the island. Since he wouldn't be able to catch up with the rest of his life, he could only look ahead.
Manager Qi stood up first and told everyone to return to their cabin to check their luggage. At this point, the finances were not important, things that lived were more important.
The cabin was a total mess. Gu Xiaoyu hurried off to find her two treasures, then she pulled open the cabin's storage panel. The little black panther was there with Gu XII, the cub who was being protected by the little black panther. Luckily, the little black panther was still tied up, otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to escape.
She was relieved that Gu Xiaoyu was crying tears of joy while hugging the two of them. However, Xie Jingxi was a little worried, other than the important items that were still locked in the storage shelf, there were no more clothes that she normally washed. This also meant that in the days to come, she would only have this set of clothes on her body.
Fang Dai told her: ”Madam, luckily I have locked two sets of clothes for change, we will wear it now, since there is no water, one set is missing, so the financial losses are not too big, and with all the fire rod gunpowder present, there is only water left, other than the ones that I have locked up to reserve, there is nothing else.”
No one would have thought that it would be so serious. At least, we can hold on until the Luzon, then we can take care of the rest one step at a time.
”I heard Zhao Zhang say that we have lost 20-30% of our finances, and it is still within our control, so the biggest problem now is fresh water. Madam, Zhao Zhang said that we have to save some of it privately, there are a lot of people on the boat, if we reach the critical point, it will be troublesome.”
At sea, water was the life threatening thing. It was not impossible for people to die for the sake of saliva, but luckily, they were not in the desert, so they could still endure for a few days.
At this time, Zhao Zhang walked in, ”Madam, I think the route in front of us is a bit wrong.”
”Wrong route?” However, there was no lack of experienced sailors on the ship. As long as there were no problems with the boat's movement and the compass did not fail, they would at least be able to find the way, and it was only a matter of time before the compass failed. Could it be that the compass had failed?
Zhao Zhang said: Madam, our crew told me that when the wind blew last night, the compass had failed for no reason and was unable to determine direction, but at that time, the compass did not have the ability to determine direction, so we could only rely on our senses, adding that the wind was strong and strong, making it impossible to see anything, thus we were unable to determine direction, until the compass returned to normal again, and showed us that we were not in the wrong direction, but I did not walk through this line, so I do not know what direction to go.
had gone out to sea with Gu Yun a few times before, and they had indeed walked across the island before. At that time, the ocean ban had lasted for a long time, and most of the Great Chen people were not familiar with the route to go overseas, as they had all figured it out. Although they could not determine whether or not there was a feasible route because of this, when Zhao Zhang said that they were not familiar with each other, it would still make them worried, but fortunately, their position was not wrong.
In the next few days, the ship became unusually silent. Aside from the most likely method to repair the damage done to the ship by themselves, most of them stayed in their own cabins, as if not going out could reduce their food and drinks.
However, without exception, everyone was shaken by the storm and knew the dangers of sailing. Not only was it something that could be overcome with hot-bloodedness, it was actually Martin who came out with them, who seemed very calm. According to what he said, there would be any kind of conditions at sea, and it was even more difficult for him to meet her.
The following journey was much more peaceful, there were no more strong winds or strong waves. With all sorts of food and water, barely enough food and water, Xie Jingxi had even gotten a bag of water, barely wiping her face before she reached the shore.
”Madam, we're finally on our way. I feel like my entire body is reeking of salted fish.” Fang Dai packed up the things that they were carrying with them, the things that she was going to take away after getting off the boat.
”Don't talk about this anymore, it's fine if you don't want to. Fortunately, the time of arrival was similar to what I expected, otherwise, I would have jumped into the sea to take a bath before coming up.”
Gu Xiaoyu also rushed over, ”Mother, smell it, do you smell it?
Xie Jingxi didn't like to get close to her. Not only did she smell bad, she also smelled like a little black panther, which was extremely smelly. Gu Xiaoyu didn't mind as she laughed and carried Gu Shi'er out to play.
”imperial consort, something seems to be wrong!”
Xie Jingxi stood up and followed her out. Zhao Zhang came in and stopped them, ”Madam, don't be in such a hurry to leave.
