"So what do we do now?" she asked with a gasp.
His expression was not as relaxed as before. He pointed behind her and said, "Enter the cabin."
Right, after entering the cabin, everything will be fine.
She immediately took a breath and ran inside.
Just as the two of them entered the cave, they heard the sound of a fierce wind and rain above them.
It landed so quickly.
Fortunately, he was fast.
She secretly rejoiced in her heart. When she turned around, she saw that he had a cell phone in his hand, and his head was lowered as he was talking on the phone.
The cabin was not big, it could even be said to be very small, just enough to accommodate two people. When the dim light from the bulkhead shone on the two of them, she heard the rapid rain outside and suddenly felt at peace.
It seemed as if he had come in a little too slowly, causing his hair to become somewhat moist, and some droplets of water to flow down his hair.
She saw it and said to him, "I'll wipe it off for you." He took out a packet of tissues from his bag and prepared to wipe his hair.
However, his expression was not very good. After whispering a few words into the phone, he put it down and said to her, "This is a bit troublesome."
"What?" Her hand stopped in midair, and she had a bad feeling about this.
"I don't know where this place is. It might be the weather." His low voice, mixed with the rain, made her stick close enough to hear him, "There's no signal on the phone."
"It can't be?" She looked at him in disbelief. "Isn't this the city district? "Even if it's on the river, it shouldn't …"
He waved his phone at her. "Look."
When she saw that there was no signal on his phone, she could not help but panic. "Let me see my own phone."
After saying that, he turned around and took out his phone. When he looked at it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. There was no signal on his phone, and it was the kind of phone that didn't have any.
"Then what should we do now?" she asked, looking at him blankly.
He shrugged. "It's all right. Just wait until the rain stops."
"But …" She was about to say what she would do if the rain did not stop for a whole night when the boat suddenly shuddered and then shook vigorously, as if there was a big hand shaking the boat in the water.
Even though she was already sitting down, she couldn't help but throw herself into his embrace.
He held her close. "Don't be afraid."
She bit down hard on her lower lip, feeling as if the boat was spinning on the surface of the river. There was no time for her to calm down at all.
He held her tight, but she could tell from her heavy breathing that he was holding her back.
At this rate, wouldn't the boat overturn?
She panicked and looked up at him, calling his name, "Si Lianye, can't we stop this boat?"
He shook his head and said, "This is a sailing ship. We are afraid of the wind. Our tone is not good."
She was dizzy from the motion of the ship, vaguely aware that something was wrong, but unable to think for a long time.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Let's wait, it won't rain for long."
"Is that so?" She thought hard in his arms and couldn't help but say: "If only I could put that sail down."
Even if she hadn't studied physics, she knew how a sailboat worked, and she was the most sensitive to wind.
"Right." He suddenly raised his head. "I forgot about that." He lowered his head and kissed her lightly.
"What?" She looked at him with her eyes wide open, and saw that even in this terrible state his eyes were shining, full of confidence.
"What are you trying to say?" She held back her heartbeat and asked him again.
He didn't say anything. He gently released her and said, "I'll go find the switch. You should sit by yourself for a while and hold onto the handrail carefully so that you won't be thrown out."
With that, he stood up and walked a few steps away from the boat.
What switch?
Her heart was filled with doubts. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew over. The boat suddenly moved thirty degrees and caused her heart to jump. She quickly grabbed the handrail tightly, not daring to let go for even a second.
When the storm passed, she looked up at him and saw that he was already in another small room.
Although the cabin was small, it was still divided into two parts. The room they were in was quite large and could be used for simple furniture. However, the small door had been closed, and it was unknown what it was used for.
Later she learned that it was the control panel of the boat.
She didn't know what Si Lianye was doing inside either. She only felt that not long later, she suddenly discovered that the body of the boat had become much quieter.
She was relieved to know that he had done it.
Seeing him walk out again, she smiled at him and said, "You scared me to death. What did you just do? "How did you get so much better?"
He smiled. "Thank you for reminding me, I brought down the sail …" Before she could finish her sentence, the boat suddenly shook. He had just reached the cabin door. His feet slipped for some reason. As she screamed, he slipped out of the cabin.
"Si Lianye!"
She ignored the small boat that began to turn again, forgetting even for a moment her fear of falling into the water.
She quickly jumped up and ran to the door: "Si Lianye!"
At the same time, she tried her best to see his situation, but the wind and rain outside was truly too heavy. She had only revealed half of her body, yet the raindrops had already smashed her eyes shut.
"I'm here." His voice, still steady, came from her right, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you right now? Come in quickly!" she cried, wiping the rain from her face.
"Wait a minute, you go in first. Don't get wet by the rain." "No," he said.
"No, hurry up, I'll wait for you." she said loudly.
He paused. "Listen to me. Come, do me a favor."
"What kind of help?" At this moment, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with him. Why was he still standing there and not moving at all?
In the torrential downpour, she had barely been able to create a canopy to look out of. She was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"You … "You …"
"Don't be afraid, I'll be fine. Be good and give me that oar." He was still trying to calm her.
Her tears flowed down in an instant, seeping into her collar non-stop through the rain.
"Fine, just you wait, don't move, I beg you, don't move." After recovering from her shock, she gritted her teeth and ran into the rain.
Half of Si Lianye's body was outside the boat, but seeing that, her face turned pitch black, and she quietly looked at her.
He almost slipped into the river after a moment of carelessness. Fortunately, he managed to grab hold of the mast in time to avoid falling down, but even so, half of his body was outside the ship, and the wind and rain were too heavy for him to enter in a short time.
He watched her run to the deck in a hurry to pick up the oar, and then, ignoring the rain hitting her, he handed the oar to her and said, "Come, I'll pull you up." As she spoke, the ship shuddered again, and with a cry she carried her into the mast.
He glared at her. "You go in."
"No, I'm not going in." She hugged the mast and shook her head.
He glanced down at the oars, then said to her, "You go in and pull me through the hatch, or you'll fall in with me."
She understood his words in the fierce rain and shook her head. "No, I can't pull you there."
"Sure, go quickly! I can't hold on any longer! " He let out a loud shout.
She bit her lower lip, picked up the oar, and ran into the cabin.
I can't delay any longer, or else …
She shook her head vigorously, not daring to think any further. She grabbed the protruding door frame with one hand and the oar with the other, stretching out with all her might.
"Do you have enough?" she shouted.
"Sure." For some reason, even though his voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by her.
Following his words, the oar was forcefully lowered, and a powerful force pulled her out.
Instead of being surprised, she used all of her strength to grab the oar and drag it in.
"Very good, slowly exert your strength …" "No," he said.
"Alright." He bit down on his lower lip and exerted all his strength. He felt that both his hands were starting to hurt and his arms were starting to ache as if they were about to be torn apart.
But she said nothing. She gritted her teeth and held on with her right hand.
"Very good, that's all." "No," he said.
She tightly pursed her lips, feeling the veins on her forehead popping out as she gritted her teeth.
It was too heavy. It felt terrible.
When she finally saw a figure appear in front of her, her hands finally relaxed and she powerlessly collapsed onto the ground.
"Great, you're fine …" She panted heavily, a smile on her wet face.
He paused for a moment, then crouched down and took her in his arms. "Yes, I'm fine."
She opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly felt her vision darken.
He didn't notice anything until he heard her reply and looked down at her in horror. Then he saw that her eyes were tightly shut.
His heart skipped a beat and he immediately picked her up. "Xi Ran, Xi Ran?"
There seemed to be a comforting smile on her lips, but she could no longer hear his words.
She didn't know when the heavy rain had stopped, but she knew that when she opened her eyes again, it was already sunny outside the window.
She stared blankly at it for a long time. She could not figure out what was in front of her eyes. She could only move her body instinctively as a large amount of memories flooded into her head.
She … Where is she now? Still on the boat?
She closed her eyes. She no longer felt the ups and downs of her body. She could not help but open her eyes again.
She looked up and realized that something was wrong. It was good that she wasn't on the boat, but what was that black mass beside her?
She wanted to sit up as soon as she became nervous, but she suddenly felt her body aching. The amount of strength she used to escape was pitifully small.
She couldn't move!
She was panicky, wasn't she? Wasn't it just raining? How could this be?
"I... I... "Where am I?" She struggled to ask, but found that she could not even hear the sound.
What happened to her? Why did this happen?
She was completely panic-stricken. Could it be that she was already dead?
She exerted all her strength to stomp her foot on the ground. Although it was only a slight stomp in her eyes, it was still a relief to her.
That's great, he could still move it.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a movement from the side. The black object moved and scared her so much that she opened her eyes wide.
