C256 Chasing in the Storm (2/2)

”Don't panic, everyone, don't panic …” Isn't there a bucket on the deck? With a string, he tied the rope together and threw it into the sea. I believe that with Dragon Lord's skills, as long as he was able to borrow a little bit of strength, he would be able to rescue me … ”Listen to my command!”

But who can understand Chinese? King Yi didn't even know English, and everyone looked at him with their mouths agape, not knowing what to say. The King Yi was so anxious that he had no other choice but to run over, untie the ropes and begin to bolt the wooden bucket.

These were all barrels used to transport oil. There were ready-made rope holes at the sides to tie them together. In just a short while, three barrels were thrown into the sea.

”What are you all looking at? Hurry up and screw up the wooden bucket … ”Hurry up!” King Yi was about to lose his mind.

”It's no use, the storm is too big. Even if they catch hold of the wooden bucket, they won't be able to get on the ship. Please be rational …” The captain's persuasion was unable to stop the King Yi from working hard. However, at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the cabin, causing everyone present to be dumbstruck.

”Heavens, is this an angel? So the person wearing the black cloak is a woman! ” Amidst the surprised cries of the sailors, a beautiful woman from the east walked out. She was actually Xiao Letian's wife, Hu Niu.

”Elder Shi, let me help you …” ”If they don't save me, I'll do it myself …” Hu Niu, whose eyes were flowing with hot tears, used a rope to tie himself to the mast. Then, like the King Yi, he began to plug the wooden bucket.

”You can't die. You said you were going to take me to Europe for a honeymoon! ”You even said that you were going to be the first person to spend the honeymoon in China, and you are already boasting. How can you not honor your words, wuu …”

Hu Niu's tears dropped down like pearls with a broken string, it was impossible to tell that one drop was rain and the other was tears.

It was April now, and Xiao Letian had held the wedding ceremony with Fu Hui and Hu Niu in the beginning of March. During the wedding ceremony, Xiao Letian had promised to bring the two women on his honeymoon. Although no one knew what a honeymoon was, hearing this name made all the women feel like they were seeing stars.

To have two of Xiao Letian's wives at once was already something that defied the law in the Qing Dynasty. If he were to bring his two wives out of the country, the upper echelons of Qing Dynasty would probably think too much about it. In the end, Fu Hui still adopted his style and stayed behind to deal with the imperial government. In the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, if you don't leave a hostage in the country, how can they be at ease?

According to Xiao Letian's plan, Hu Niu would follow him to Europe for his honeymoon. When the time came, he would bring Fu Hui to Ryukyu, Japan, or even the United States for his honeymoon. He only had these two women. How could he not be worried?

But today, before Hu Niu even stepped onto the continent of Europe, an accident actually occurred to Xiao Letian. She fell into the ocean amidst the storm. Hu Niu's entire body was about to collapse. She cried out Xiao Letian's name and her hands were covered in blood from the brown string, but she still did not stop.

Following closely was A Chou's figure, as well as Ping Er's and Fang Guan's, the family that Xiao Letian had brought to Europe. But today, these women all rushed to the deck, crying as they tied up the buckets, and followed King Yi in their actions.

Since ancient times, women and children were the most touching group. When Xiao Letian's woman walked onto the deck in grief and indignation, all the sailors present were infected.

”Continue, continue to throw in the buckets. The more buckets you have on the surface of the sea, the higher your chance of being saved by us. I believe in Dragon Lord's abilities …”

”God bless his people, let us pray for our guests in the East... Gentlemen in Europe, we can't let women cry. Come here and help us, let's not bother about that damned frigate anymore … ” At this point, even the Italian captain came over to help.

At this time, more than ten buckets floated on the surface of the sea. Around the barrels were human heads, and no one was able to find Xiao Letian and Dragon Lord.

”Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiang... ”Where are you …” Everyone was shouting: English, German, Italian, including Chinese. The sound of gunfire could be heard as it reverberated across the sea.

As time passed, the huge waves didn't show any signs of weakening. People could even see the edge of the rainstorm ahead.

”Xiao Letian... You bastard, get the fuck out here... ”Give it to grandaunt, I'll get out here right now …” Hu Niu lay on the side of the ship, crying and cursing at the same time, the miserable cries causing all the sailors present to be moved.

”Poor woman, great love! ”I didn't expect the people of the East to express their love more fervently than us …” Just as the captain was sighing emotionally, there was a sudden exclamation from the sea.

”Found it …” Mr. Xiao has finally appeared … ” Amidst the pointing voices of the crowd, two heads emerged from the waves fifty meters away from the ship's side. Who else could it be other than Xiao Letian and Dragon Lord.

”Quick, throw in more buckets …” Xiang Shaolong, show these Europeans your capabilities … ” While speaking, His Highness King Yi used all of his strength to toss out a bunch of wooden pails, and the spinning pail flew straight towards Xiang Shaolong.

At this time, Dragon Lord gave his all. He used his hand to wipe the water off his face, then pulled Xiao Letian and swam over to the closest bucket, ”Master, don't worry while holding onto the bucket. I'll come and save you immediately …”

Just as the sailors on the cargo boat were stunned, Dragon Lord suddenly threw out a white wave, his robust figure actually jumped out of the water, his feet quickly tapped on the wooden bucket, as though he was flying above the sea.

”Oh …” What is this? The sea goddess from the east? ”He can actually fly on the surface of the water …”
