There was no foothold on the head of the pole, so Shang Jun only hooked the pole with his feet, and fastened the sail with his hand to reinforce it. about to fall. Just as Shang Jun wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he only felt that his hand was tight, and the original rope was no longer fixed. The wind force on the sail was suddenly transferred to the hemp rope in Shang Jun's hand. The force was too great, and Shang Jun could hardly grasp it. Gritting his teeth tightly, Shang Jun pulled the hemp rope tightly. After a while, the hemp rope was covered with bloodstains. As the rain washed away, the dark red blood dripped down his wrist little by little.
This is no way to go on like this. Shang Jun hooked one side of the sail with his foot and let the sail come closer. His hand was completely numb. Shang Jun only knew that he had to wrap the rope around the mast as much as possible. Finally, he himself I don't know how many laps it was wrapped around, and a dead knot was tied, and it was finally fixed.
"Tied up, tied up." The crew below cheered, but Xiao Zongqing was so nervous that he was sweating coldly, and shouted: "Shang Jun, come down quickly." His feet did not step on the board for a moment, his The heart hangs for a moment.
Shang Jun was soaked all over, and was a little dazed by the rain. He couldn't open his eyes, and he could only hear noises in his ears. He couldn't see or hear clearly. A gust of wind blew, and the sail he was hooked on swelled up, and there was no support under his feet. Shang Jun only felt that he was thrown out by a huge force.
"Shangjun-"
Shang Jun flew out from the top of the pole like a kite with a broken string. The snow-white figure was too late to see clearly in the wind and rain, and was already submerged in the raging waves.
"Shangjun!"
Xiao Zongqing was lying on the edge of the boat, staring at the rough sea, the waves flapping wildly at each other, chasing each other, forming vortices, as if trying to suck everything into the cold and lonely seabed. After Shang Jun's body fell into the sea, he disappeared. Xiao Zongqing called his name over and over again, but only the increasingly heavy rain and shocking thunder responded wildly.
"Shangjun-"
Xiao Zongqing felt that his heart was so frantic that it was about to jump out of his throat, and he seemed to have no strength to beat, and was deadly and dull. He, just watching Shang Jun fall down in front of his eyes, and then disappear into the sea, is he going to lose him like this? No, Shang Jun must not be dead, he is still in the sea waiting for him to rescue him.
Xiao Zongqing's eyes were full of the king of Shang struggling at the bottom of the sea. He pushed aside the crew around him, climbed on the edge of the ship and was about to jump into the turbulent sea.
"Xiaoqing, no, you can't jump!" Fortunately, the crew members were quick-witted, and a few people rushed up and dragged him down. He was so impulsive, Lao You was shocked and angry, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? There are whirlpools all over the water, and you will die if you jump!"
"Shangjun! Shangjun, he is still below??" How could Xiao Zongqing hear this, struggling to stand up, who would have thought that he was not strong enough to drag a few crew members under the shove and shove. fell to the ground. It's a pity that he is a teenager after all, no matter how mad he is, he is still severely pressed on the deck. Xiao Zongqing couldn't get up and shouted: "Lao You, let me go. Lord Shang is still below! Please, let me go!"
The rain hit his young face, and it was impossible to tell if it was tears or rain, but the cry that was almost pleading made Lao You's heart aches. Silly boy, why are you so stubborn? He didn't want to save Shang Jun. If he could save him by jumping off, he would have jumped already.
Don't look away, no longer look at Xiao Zongqing, Lao You said loudly to the other crew members: "Stabilize the rudder. Look in all directions, and report immediately when you see Shang Jun, hurry up!"
Even though everyone tried their best to find the snow-white figure among the flying waves, they still found nothing. Lao You clenched his fists and thumped the mast fiercely. He should have stopped Shang Jun just now and prevented him from going up the mast, and he would be fine.
This punch hit the sturdy mast, and the rope attached to the top of the mast was gently rippling. The old sailor suddenly patted Lao You on the shoulder and said, "Look, Lao You, the rope attached to the top of the mast also fell into the water. Come on, if Young Master Shang grabs the other end, we may still find him."
Lao You looked up and saw that the rope was indeed hanging down from the top of the pole. Lao You was overjoyed and shouted, "Quick, pull the rope up."
As soon as the crew pulled the rope, they immediately had hope. Because the other end of the rope had weight, everyone came to the spirit and pulled up together. Finally, the white figure broke through the waves and appeared in front of everyone again.
"It's the business man!"
"It's really a business man!"
Seeing him again, the boat immediately boiled. Lao You was the most excited, pulled the hemp rope and shouted loudly, "Pull it quickly."
Xiao Zongqing heard the cheers of the crowd, and his heart was filled with hope. He pushed the people around him and looked towards the sea. Shang Jun closed his eyes and seemed to have lost consciousness. Fortunately, his hands were still tightly wrapped. on hemp rope. Xiao Zongqing rushed forward, pulled the rope with the crew, and shouted at Shang Jun: "Shang Jun, hold on to the rope and don't let go. You must not let it go!"
Can't let it go, Mr. Shang!
Shang Jun felt that he was involved in the darkness. There were countless forces around him pushing him lightly or hard. His chest was so painful that he couldn't breathe. He wanted to move, but no matter how hard he tried, his body was out of his control. . Gradually, he was tired and could not hear anything, drifting in the darkness, ups and downs, and the pain in his body seemed to slowly subside.
Daddy's hearty smile flashed in front of his eyes, his mother's affectionate caressing, his master's strict teaching, his sweet smile, no bitter hatred, no bloody slaughter, they were all by his side, watching him tenderly. Shang Jun no longer wants to move, think, work hard, and persevere. Is this what it feels like to die? It wasn't terrible.
Shang Jun was almost indulging in this feeling, his hand was suddenly lifted by a powerful force, and that force took him away from that peaceful place. His chest started to hurt again, and his hand was pulled so badly that it seemed to be about to break, and there was another noise in his ear, who is it? Who is calling his name? Telling him not to let go was so hoarse, it was heart-wrenching. who is it
He tried his best to open his eyes, but only opened a slit. In the dimness, he saw San'er's anxious face. Is he crying? No, it should be rain. He was so tired, his eyelids finally couldn't bear the tiredness, and slowly drooped.
"Shangjun! Shangjun! Shangjun—" His face was ashen, and even his lips were tinged with scary purple. Xiao Zongqing hugged Shang Jun's cold and thin body and did not dare to shake him. Apart from calling his name over and over again, he didn't know what else to do. It was just the trembling voice that he didn't even recognize himself.
Lao You took Shang Jun from Xiao Zongqing, who was a little stupid, and laid him flat on the deck, pressing his chest hard. After a few times, Shang Jun coughed lightly and vomited a lot of water. Lao You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xiao Zongqing's cheek, and said, "Xiaoqing, he's all right, help him into the cabin first."
Xiao Zongqing finally came back to his senses and staggered into the cabin with Shang Jun in his arms.
After entering the cabin, Lao You took out a few quilts and said, "Hurry up and take off his wet clothes, and I'll light the stove. Don't let him catch a cold, it will be bad if he gets hot at sea."
Several crew members who followed up rushed up and tried to untie Shang Jun's clothes. Xiao Zongqing suddenly thought of the fact that Shang Jun was a woman. He pushed the crew's hand away, stopped in front of Shang Jun, and shouted. :"stop!"
The crew looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do, Xiao Zongqing didn't know how to explain it, and said uncomfortably, "You all go out, I'll just come."
Lao You frowned slightly, why did Xiaoqing's face turn red inexplicably
how is this kid...
"Hey." With a sigh, Lao You waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go, you all go back to the stern and put the rudder on the boat. The boat is still in the center of the storm, so be careful. Here, leave it to Xiaoqing." Before going out, Lao You gave Xiao Zongqing a thoughtful look, and finally left without saying anything.
There were only Xiao Zongqing and Shang Jun left in the cabin. Xiao Zongqing put his hand on Shang Jun's collar several times, and then put it down again. Shang Jun is a woman, so he unbuttoned his clothes, didn't he break him the name of the festival? I can't manage that much anymore, saving people is the most important thing. If Shang Jun minds, then he should marry him. Anyway, he also likes Shang Jun.
After some self-persuasion, Xiao Zongqing held his breath and gently untied Shang Jun's coat, which was wet and wet, and it was not easy to untie it. Xiao Zongqing took him in his arms and did not dare to touch him. He carefully took off his robe first, followed by the cloth wrapped around his chest, which was even more difficult. Xiao Zongqing's forehead was covered with fine sweat. He took a few deep breaths before reaching for the cloth on Shang Jun's chest, but after searching for a long time, he didn't know how to solve it. It was too tight.
In a trance, Shang Jun felt that someone was pulling his clothes. He opened his eyes diligently, and saw Xiao Zongqing's hand pulling on his chest. He was so shocked that he hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?"
The weak body made his reprimand seem weak and weak. Xiao Zongqing looked at Shang Jun, saw him awake, and smiled happily: "Shang Jun, are you awake?" Thinking about the ambiguous posture now, Xiao Zongqing His face burned all of a sudden, he quickly retracted his hand and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to help you take off your wet clothes."
Shang Jun sat up with difficulty, stepped back into the bed, and replied, "No."
"You'll get sick like this, don't be stubborn." Xiao Zongqing wanted to step forward again, and Shang Jun grabbed the quilt next to him and hugged it to his chest, shouting, "I said no!"
Xiao Zongqing was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I know you are a woman, it is inconvenient for me to undress you, but you cannot take off your wet clothes, can you let me help you? Make sure not to look or touch." After speaking, he raised two fingers to make an oath.
Shang Jun was startled and roared, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How could he know that he was a woman, did he just—
Xiao Zongqing said in a low voice, "I'm not talking nonsense. I saw you vomited when I came, and I accidentally discovered it when I helped you clean up."
After he finished speaking, Shang Jun's face became darker and darker. His pale face was even more frightening now. I can't let Shang Jun continue like this. What if it really causes a fever? Xiao Zongqing sat on the edge of the bed and said seriously: "Shang Jun, I don't know why you hide your identity, and I don't want to care about it. , but I must take care of your life, if you don't let me help you, I have no choice but to ignore your wishes."
He knew San'er's character very well. He did what he said, and Shang Jun said quickly, "Wait, I can do it myself."
Xiao Zongqing looked at him suspiciously. Shang Jun nodded lightly.
Turning his back, Xiao Zongqing said sullenly, "You can do it yourself, if you can't, call me."
Looking at Xiao Zongqing's stiff back, Shang Jun couldn't help crying and laughing. How could he be in front of a man, no, even if he was undressing? Shang Jun sighed: "San'er, can you go out?"
"No, what if you faint? If you're worried, I'll cover your eyes again." After speaking, he really picked up the cloth next to him and covered his eyes.
"I—" Shang Jun didn't know what else to say. That's all, he carefully untied the cloth on his chest, wrapping it in too many layers, and just untangle it took all of Shang Jun's strength. After finally taking off all the wet clothes on his body, Shang Jun realized that he had no dry clothes to change. In desperation, he could only wrap two quilts around him.
Blindfolded eyes, ears will be particularly keen, the sound of the rustling fabric behind him rubbing, and Shang Jun's light breathing, all make Xiao Zongqing's heart beat faster.
After a long time, Xiao Zongqing asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"
Shang Jun looked down at himself and replied, "Okay." It should be fine.
Unbuttoning the cloth towel, Xiao Zongqing turned his head and was stunned, what is he doing? He was covered with quilts, and only one head was exposed. But looking at the wet clothes next to him, Xiao Zongqing understood. So, under the quilt, Shang Jun has nothing to wear? Even though Shang Jun is now wrapped tightly, Xiao Zongqing is still hot for no reason. It's not a good look for them.
"I—" Don't look away, Xiao Zongqing turned around and said at a loss, "I, I'll go get the stove."
Xiao Zongqing walked to the door and came back. He helped Shang Jun find a set of clothes in the closet and put them by the bed, and then hurried out again.
"San'er." Xiao Zongqing stopped, but still didn't look back. Shang Jun thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "I'm a woman, who else did you tell me?"
Xiao Zongqing froze behind his back, he was a little angry, and replied coldly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."
With a bang, the door closed, and Shang Jun stroked his head, it hurts. He never thought that San'er would know that he was a woman. He didn't want to tell anyone about this. He just wanted to work hard to become stronger and avenge his parents. He was even afraid that others would know the fact that he was a woman. Admit it, he's in a mess right now.
After grabbing the clothes and putting them on randomly, Shang Jun still wrapped himself well, because he felt that he was cold from head to toe, and there was no pain, but he couldn't sleep.
After a while, Xiao Zongqing asked in a low voice outside the door, "Can I come in?"
"Can."
The door was gently pushed open, and Shang Jun had to admire Xiao Zongqing. On such a swaying boat, he just brought in a brazier, and there was a bowl of ginger soup in the brazier.
Putting the brazier down, Xiao Zongqing wrapped the bowl with cloth, handed the ginger soup to Shang Jun, and said sullenly, "Drink some ginger soup and have a good rest."
Shang Jun took it, and a warm current flowed from his hand to his heart.
With his back to Shang Jun, Xiao Zongqing sat in front of the stove and helped him bake his soaked clothes without saying a word, but he didn't care when he was soaked. Shang Jun looked at his cold back, sighed lowly, and said, "San'er, thank you. Are you angry?" He should be angry, because he first pretended to be a man to deceive him, and now he still suspects him.
Xiao Zongqing turned around and replied angrily: "Yes, I'm angry, you won't tell me you are a woman, you are obviously a woman, but you are stronger than men, you don't know how to take care of yourself, you are angry Don't believe me." And what he was most angry with was himself, he couldn't protect him from harm!
"I'm sorry." He didn't know what else to say besides saying this. He lowered his head, and Shang Jun said sadly, "I'm pretending to be a man, and I have my own difficulties. This is about my family feud, so I don't want to let anyone People know. No matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is, no matter how much I pay, I will persevere.”
The forbearance insisted on slowly flowing in the hoarse voice. Such a businessman made Xiao Zongqing feel distressed. He put down the clothes in his hand and said, "You are working so hard, let me help you." He wanted to bear for him, If you want a happy smile to appear on his face, Shang Jun must be beautiful when he smiles.
Shang Jun shook his head firmly.
"Why?"
"This is my own business, and I don't want to implicate anyone." He has to rely on his own strength to complete his mission.
"I'm not afraid of you getting involved." How many times did he want him to say it
