How to know when the boat is rocking?

  Because he grabbed the cabin door to come in and warn Cen Er, his cheeks were bulging with two pieces of flesh, and his mouth had changed shape. Looking at the six people inside the cabin again, they were all good fighters, but each one was useless, originally sitting cross-legged on the board, now floating in mid-air.

  The boat plunged down, then suddenly shot up again, heavily catching the six people who were falling towards it, causing their chests to surge and churn, while Cen Er became a big character and slid all the way into the cabin.

  After a toss and a surge, the boat sailed smoothly again, and everyone took the opportunity to catch their breath.

  "What's going on?" Shi Ke shouted loudly, slapping his sore back with the back of his hand. "Can't be another boat collision again!"

  "Go ahead..." With a mouthful, Cen Er spat out half a mouthful of river water. "We've run aground. Mo Ge told me to come in and tell you all, those who are seasick stay put, those who aren't go out and help."

  "What dizziness...". Shi Ke originally wanted to say that after sitting on a boat for three days, he should have gotten seasick already.

  Another wave of rapid and violent movement came, and he didn't have anything to grasp at his side. With a rolling and slipping sound, it crashed onto the body of the attendant following White Feather. Just then, there was a cry of "Ah yo!", and he hastily turned his head back. Before he could take a closer look, a patch of yellowish-white-green substance appeared on his robe, emitting an acidic smell that directly assaulted his nostrils.

  "My goodness! You're a tofu flower, really dizzying...". One hand covers the nose, one hand tears off the dirty clothes, disgusted and throws them away, "I'd rather shed blood than touch this kind of filth..."

  The words were not finished, the third wave, the fourth wave... continuously violently rising and falling.

  Shi Ke finally felt his stomach churning like a boat, and he covered his mouth with his hand, but then quickly switched to covering his belly. Every time he tried to hold back the nausea, an even stronger wave would wash over him, making his massive body feel tiny in the cramped cabin. As his vision spun left and right, he saw Cen Er sitting with one foot propped against a broken table, a cloth rope tied tightly around his waist and the table leg, holding a bag to his mouth, vomiting with abandon. Shi Ke cursed silently, thinking that if Cen Er had been prepared, why hadn't he spoken up earlier?! As he let out a loud retch, he thought to himself, this place was definitely going to be the death of him.

  Bai Yu stepped out of the cabin, his eyes bright and his hands quick as he grabbed the wooden railing beside him. He looked around and saw that there was less than a hundred feet of river surface, sloping downward with waves rolling in white flowers, crashing against the ship's hull, and sending up a deluge of water droplets that stung his skin. The rear waves and strong winds were closing in fast, the strange rocks and steep peaks on either side offered no gap to escape, while the front was fraught with danger, where dark reefs could be seen from time to time, looking terrifying. The big winds and waves he had experienced before seemed so ignorant and weak compared to this river surface.

  Impossible! That was his first instinct. No boat could navigate through such raging waves, and no boat could avoid so many hidden reefs and rocks without being damaged at all. If someone could control such a river surface, the Zhou army would not worry about strong enemies.

  "Get out of the way!" A shrill cry, a flash of human figure.

  The white feather stuck to the cabin wall, only to see that the private goods peddler he had underestimated had a coarse cloth rope tied around his waist. With a forceful kick of his right foot, he easily parted the dense waves like a swallow piercing through water and arrived at the left wing of the boat. The bamboo pole was inserted into the river, and Mo Ge's two feet were wrapped around the pole, with his entire body outside the boat, exposed to the raging giant waves. Then, just when he thought the person would be swallowed up, Mo Ge pulled on the rope tied around his waist, not only stepping back onto the deck but also retrieving the bamboo pole before the wave arrived. After the big wave passed, he repeated the action of pushing the pole, each time with a thousand pounds of force. The water droplets were icy cold, yet he saw him sweating profusely. That Mo Ge didn't have any martial arts foundation, but his boat-pushing movements could be done by even an exceptionally skilled martial artist.

  "What do you need our help with?" Zhong An came out, and there was no one behind him. Even Shi Lei was seasick in the cabin.

  Lao Guan and Fei Xia were working together to grasp the giant oar on the right side, shouting loudly at Zhong An and Bai Yu, "Take in the sail! Take in that remaining sail!"

  "Cut the ropes on the mast with a knife. Quick! We're going to run aground!" Meizhi also shouted loudly.

  However, in the howling of the stormy waves, all the loud shouts were gentle whispers.

  Zhong An and Bai Yu also knew that they couldn't waste a single moment at this time, so they stepped forward with arrow-like steps.

  Half an hour later, Bai Yu and Zhong An sat back to back, one side was a vast expanse of reeds that couldn't be seen to the end, and the other side was the fine ripples of the calm lake. Who would have thought that in the deepest part of Jingyu Beach, it was so peaceful as if heaven and earth were merged, fish leaped and birds flew, even a wisp of wind was an extreme luxury. White bones, piled up like a chaotic mess on the way. The waves were as soft as silk, the reeds were as beautiful as feathers, as if praising the brave.

  Bang, bang, bang - footsteps landed on the deck. The water droplets that had been clinging to their clothes, jumped up in the raging waves, but it was just a final flourish. Soon, they seeped into the wooden boat, as if they had never existed before. Lao Guan and several others, like the two sitting on the shipboard, were soaked from head to toe, their clothes stuck tightly to their bodies, looking disheveled and exhausted, unable to speak a word, plopped down with a thud, panting heavily.

  "We... " Zhong An coughed violently several times, his face covered in water, and accidentally inhaled some into his nose, choking, "We've managed to save a few lives this time, right?"

  "That's... " Old Guan panted heavily, "Hard to say."

  Bai Yu thought of Wei Jia's old seven mentions of Lu Hua Dang, and his eyes turned to the reeds not far away.

  The smelly fish has sharp eyes, and as soon as he saw it, he said, "Good brother, good eyesight. This beautiful reed pole is going to take your life if you don't show mercy. It's too dense, and the boat can't get in, not to mention the man-eating alligators. If you're not fierce enough, you'll become their food. Once you make a mistake and run into the South German border guard camp, that's throwing yourself into the net, and being executed on the spot is considered good treatment for you."

  Jiang An's forehead sparkled with sweat, "Didn't you say there was no ambush?"

  "It's not that there is no defense at all, but rather a small one. There are over 100 people in the water and land camp, and three military grain reserve teams of five people each." Stinky fish counts as family treasures.

  "Hundreds of them, but we only have twelve, one against ten, no chance of winning." Zhong An calculated.

  "So we can't go head-to-head with the Water and Land Camps, we can only bypass them." Mozi walked up to the deck.

  Bai Yu glanced at her, feeling inexplicably strange. They were drenched like drowned rats, but she had a clean face and was wearing dry clothes, with only her hair showing signs of dampness, yet it was neatly combed, not a single strand out of place. This man looked as delicate as a woman, with a complexion as dark as coal, yet he still managed to maintain his dignity.

  She didn't care how others looked at her, after a thrilling water fight, the makeup on her face was already ruined by the water droplets. Although she had tied a wide cloth band around her chest, she feared that if it got wet, it would reveal her true identity. She wasn't worried about Old Guan and the others seeing her, because they already knew she was a woman. However, Bai Yu Zhong An and his group were too mysterious, making her unable to trust them. So, after the excitement had passed, she ran into the cargo hold to change clothes and reapply her makeup.

  "What's going on?" Zhong An also noticed that she had changed her clothes, but there were more important things at hand, so he didn't suspect anything in particular.

  "Cut the crap, go check if those good friends of yours are still alive first, then we'll jump ship and talk later." Stinky Fish nodded his head, with a very wicked grin.

  Jumping off the boat? Swimming over? How to deal with crocodiles?

  One question after another kept popping up in Zhong An's mind, and he couldn't make sense of any of them.
