Chapter 738: Sailing on a Ship Encountering Hail
Now, Qin Lang is still in a coma, and Old Man Zhuang’s physical condition is not very good.
If you really travel in winter, you will probably get sick before you go long!
It's not just Lu Qingqing who is worried.
The person at the bow of the boat was also looking at the rain outside with worry!
Logically speaking, the temperature shouldn't drop in this season.
If the river really froze, what would they do if they were frozen in the river?
But now that we have been out for several days, it is not realistic to turn back.
The captain hesitated and discussed with his brothers next to him.
Finally, we decided to start our journey at night and try to reach Tongquan Wharf as early as possible.
When they arrived at Tongquan Wharf, they took a look at the situation.
If the temperature didn't drop further, they would continue heading south.
If the rain drops heavily, then stay at Tongquan Wharf.
After making up their minds, the bowmen made arrangements and divided the boatmen into two shifts, day and night, and sailed forward at full speed.
The ship ran at full speed for seven days and finally arrived at Tongquan Wharf.
It rained for several days on the way.
At this time, the temperature has dropped a little compared to seven days ago.
When the people on the boat saw the ship stop, they all came out to inquire about the situation.
When I learned that the boat had stopped at Tongquan Wharf, I planned to take a look at the situation and then decide whether to continue.
Everyone started to panic.
Those who took the boat had heard that the situation in the capital was not good, so they left with their families.
What would they do if this were thrown at Tongquan Wharf?
Although the location of Tongquan City is not too close to the capital, it is not too far either.
It is only a matter of time before the barbarians attack.
They were not willing to stay in Tongquan City.
Immediately, someone came forward to argue with the captain.
Seeing that everyone on the boat had gathered around, the captain was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly expressed his concerns.
The people around listened to the concerns of the captain and started to persuade him.
What was said was nothing more than that.
I guess the temperature will just drop in the next few days. There's no way it will freeze like in August or September, so you can go ahead without worry.
In fact, there were still some people on the boat who thought that what the captain said was right.
But after listening to what others said, I thought, what if it doesn’t freeze?
In short, when the future is unknown, most people cannot make a firm choice.
The ship stayed at Tongquan Wharf for more than an hour, and people were sent to the city to buy some food, vegetables, oil and other supplies.
During this period, he discussed and communicated with everyone on the boat.
By the time the boatman came back, the captain had also made up his mind.
They continued to move forward. If the situation looked bad, they would stop at the nearest dock.
They have walked this road for many years and are very familiar with it.
If something really happens, you can make a judgment earlier.
And so the ship continued its journey.
However, it is no longer just the boatmen on the bow who come out to observe the temperature changes every day.
Almost everyone has to go out several times a day to check the temperature over and over again.
In this case, slight climate changes can be easily detected.
Two days later.
The ship had been running day and night for so long that the boatmen were exhausted.
At this moment, several people were pulling the sails and controlling the direction of the boat.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my face.
The bow looked up at the sky and cursed:
“Damn, it’s raining again!
Lao Er, Lao Liu, Shun Liu, the three of you go back to the house and get your raincoats first!"
The two responded and hurried into the house.
As a result, as soon as I came out with my raincoat, ice started falling from the sky.
Seeing this, several sailors on the deck also started cursing.
Three people wearing straw raincoats ran back to take up key positions.
The remaining few ran back in batches to put on their straw raincoats.
They were not too afraid of the hail.
Because they had just experienced a hailstorm a few days ago.
However, the largest one is only the size of a fingernail.
When it comes out, it hurts a little when it hits my face and body.
But it only hurt a little, and neither anyone nor the boat was hurt.
So this time, the boatmen thought it was the same hail as last time.
Lu Qingqing heard the noise outside and came out to check. The hailstones were already as big as Lantern Festival dumplings.
Seeing that the ship was still moving forward steadily, she hurried back to the house and got a box to hold on her head.
During this time, he told Old Man Zhuang to close the door and keep an eye on Qin Lang, then quickly ran towards the deck.
"Quick, find someplace to hide first, the hail is going to get bigger and bigger!"
The bow of the boat was hit by hailstones as big as Lantern Festival dumplings, causing severe pain.
He was already a little panicked at this moment, and subconsciously followed Lu Qingqing's words and wanted to move closer to the shore.
Lu Qingqing looked to both sides and saw several thick willow trees in front of the right.
She shouted towards the bow:
"Quick, pull the boat to the right and stop under those big trees!"
The captain turned around and looked over, and hurriedly directed the boatmen to dock the ship to the right front.
I can only say that everyone on the boat was really lucky to have encountered these big trees.
However, just as the boatmen were moving the boat, the hail became bigger and bigger.
Soon, hailstones as big as fists began to fall.
Every time a hailstone this big hit the boat, a hole was torn in the wooden planks.
The captain and the other boatmen felt extremely distressed when they saw this.
This ship is the result of their hard work!
What’s even more terrifying is that this hailstorm is an indiscriminate attack.
No matter if it's a boat or a person, as long as you are underneath, we will smash you!
However, in order to stop the boat at the shore, the boatmen did not dare to go back to the house to hide.
Even the boatmen who had worked all night and were catching up on sleep came out to help.
At this moment, many boatmen put their hands and arms above their heads to protect them.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing lifted up the row of boards and threw them onto the deck.
When the captain saw it, he hurriedly called two people to pick it up.
Soon, almost every three people had two thick wooden boards on their heads.
In this way, the boatmen were not injured.
But the hail damage to the large ship continues.
The man at the bow pulled the rope desperately, shouted slogans, and directed the boatmen to move the boat to the side.
Seeing that the hail was getting bigger and bigger, and the small box above her head was smashing loudly, Lu Qingqing hurriedly hid in the house next door.
