Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat, secretly complaining, and felt unsure of where I was. At this moment, my eyes blurred. On the mast, I saw the ship's lights flashing in the sea fog. Shirley Yang commanded Ruan Hei to drive the "Trident" through the waves. , I was overjoyed, although I don’t know whether they were looking for the sound or following the sharks surrounding the three-masted ship and came back from the sea. I was thankful to Mazu if I could get back in time.

The three-masted ancient ship tilted and swayed, and the mast tilted towards the sea. Because when the trident could be seen in the fog, the distance was already very close. Seeing that the two ships were about to miss each other again in the fog, I thought it was time to get down from the mast. Unable to catch up, he measured the distance between the two ships and decided to take a risk. When the ship was swaying and falling towards the Trident, he jumped off the mast without hesitation and fell down diagonally, passing by. He walked out of the turbulent sea with sharks and rushed towards the rubber lifeboat tied to the side of the Trident ship.

However, the ship's hull fluctuated with the waves and was not a static target. The timing and distance changed in an instant. It did not fall directly onto the rubber lifeboat. It missed half a step and fell straight into the sea. , amidst the exclamations of the fat man and others, I rushed forward with both hands, and finally caught the rope fixed at the bottom of the rubber lifeboat. My body was suspended in the air, and my feet had already touched the sea water.

My hand was strangled by the rope and there was a burning pain, but I knew very well that even if my hand was broken, I couldn't let go. Once I let go, I would be feeding the sharks. I exerted force on my waist and tried to climb onto the lifeboat, but suddenly I felt something Something hit the sole of my foot. It turned out that there were too many big sharks surrounding the three-masted ship, and I actually stepped on one. I don’t know where it was stepped on, but the bloodthirsty wildness in the shark’s body was so vivid with it. The vivid force felt extremely real.

I was so shocked that my hair was numb, as if my whole body had been recharged at that moment. I didn't bother to look at the sharks at my feet, and desperately climbed onto the boat. But the more anxious I became, the weaker I became. At this time, the fat man and others were standing there. They hooked me up with hooks and they pulled me up, so I climbed onto the rubber lifeboat.

Shirley Yang stretched out her hand and pulled me onto the boat: "Lao Hu, you are really a desperado. You dare to jump from such a high place. Do you want your life?" I was so shocked that I didn't dare to think about it. I felt that my whole body was soaked and I couldn't tell the difference anymore. Whether it was the cold sweat or the sea water, but the person was still arrogant, and still wanted to say a few words to express his feelings.

At this time, Uncle Ming climbed onto the deck from the cabin. He may have just passed the drunkenness and was still a little not sober, but he looked up and saw a three-masted ship like a white shadow in the distance, swinging past behind the elephant, and his face suddenly changed. There was a big change, as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't bother to say unnecessary words, and just shouted to everyone: "This is a marked blood ship, hurry up...hurry up the sea-shattering cannon and prepare the shells."

I heard Uncle Ming say this suddenly and thought that he might know the details of the three-masted ship. Since the matter was urgent, there was no need to elaborate, so I called everyone on the ship to urgently deploy the Jinpilu water cannon and prepare to bombard the "ghost ship". The operation began It was very fast. Although the cabin was narrow, everyone was fully prepared and could still be orderly in an emergency, because everyone knew that it was unrealistic for a scattered mob to risk entering the coral spiral. Fatty and I , as well as Guchai and Duo Ling, when nothing happened at sea, they conducted paramilitary training in accordance with naval standards under the command of Shirley Yang. Because sailing on the sea is much different than on land, it is difficult for individuals to face the stormy waves with their own abilities. All members must be combined into a well-trained whole. Once an accident or danger occurs, only the cooperation of all members can avert the danger. There are only seven people on the ship, so everyone must take on multiple responsibilities, and they are all indispensable. important force.

So following the order, everyone quickly got into position according to the deployment that had been practiced many times before. Fatty and I went down first to adjust the gun position and aim at the target. Guchai and Duoling opened the ammunition boxes and moved the shells, while Shirley Yang Through the telescope on the ship, Ruan Hei was instructed to adjust the course to give the gun muzzle a shooting angle.

A few seconds later, the water cannon on the "Trident" was ready to attack. The sea fog was thick, and this was the third time that the two ships missed it. The three-masted ship, covered with blood, was gradually disappearing from our sight. During the process, Shirley Yang kept reporting the azimuth angle and speed. Although the ship boss Ruan Hei was afraid of the ghost ship, but his life was at stake, he still mustered up the courage to turn the ship's bow, increase the speed, and approach the three-masted ship from the side and rear. .

Uncle Ming was gesticulating and directing in the cabin. Fatty and I were already ready to fire. Everyone was breathing heavily, waiting for the "Trident" to enter the best shooting position. Taking advantage of this gap, I asked Uncle Ming: "That three-masted ship has its door sealed with white paper and is covered in blood. What kind of ship is it?"

Uncle Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What a shame, my mother. Fortunately, your uncle and I found out in time that it was a blood-marked ship. If we didn't use sea-shaking cannons to hit it low in the sea, we wouldn't be able to do it." You'll be in big trouble."

It turns out that on the coast of Nanyang, there is a rare custom similar to the banishment of plague ships, called "marking". The difference is that the marks are not filled with dead people, but a huge sea beast, a kind of body shape native to the Nanyang sea. The giant thing that is very close to the "motor turtle" is called "Dayongsha". There are no living turtles in the sea. Dayongsha is a common name for fishermen. Its shape is like a turtle but not a turtle. It has a skirt but no legs, a head but no tail, and a back. Blue and black in color, with large white lines on the abdomen, they usually live in shallow seas and are buried in the sand. They often make waves secretly and capsize fishing boats coming and going. The fishermen hate them. Sometimes they are stranded on the shore and cannot climb back. The fishermen who find them will Immediately notify others, chain them up and capture them alive. Whenever they catch this object, and it is the time to sacrifice the sea dragon, they will repair the long-worn ancient fishing boat, drain the blood of the big sand and put it into the bottom hold, and then The ancient ship was wrapped in paper-covered fishing nets and towed to the deep sea, allowing it to drift away with the ocean currents.

The waves in the South China Sea are rough, and the winds and waves are always high. Most of these boats are not strong. If they reach the deep sea, they will be sunk by the wind and waves in a short time. The sand will be buried in the bottom of the sea. The underwater ichthyosaur is one of the species , they like to eat meat in the sand. They will get into the broken hull one after another and bite the big sand until only an empty shell is left. The fishermen all believe that there is a "dragon" on the bottom of the sea and regard it as the god of the sea. They This custom is an act of worshiping the God of the Sea, allowing the Dragon King to bless the sea with peace and calm.
