All the guests in the second-floor cabin were evacuated, including the businessmen and entertainment service personnel in the public area. Only the crew and the soldiers accompanying the ship stayed on the second floor.
Hearing the panic shouts below, the ship owner and his crew quickly went down to the bottom of the ship to check.
I saw that the water bandits had all run away, and there was a hole as big as a bucket in the bottom of the boat, with raging river water pouring in.
The ship owner quickly organized the crew to repair the blockage.
Although the ship owner had extensive inspections and the crew was very professional, the hole was too big and the river was too fast. Even if everyone tried their best, they could not repair it.
Fortunately, the bottom of this luxury passenger ship is a composite double-bottom structure, with two bottoms, and each bottom tank is an independent structure.
The ship owner had no choice but to order the emergency sealing of the hole-in-the-bottom cabin to prevent the passenger ship from sinking.
After the passenger ship was repaired, it was discovered that the passenger ship had already drifted out of the tributary of the river, and the huge luxury passenger ship was drifting downstream on the wide main river.
The violent storm rocked the huge passenger ship on the river. It was very dangerous for the ship to drift downstream in such weather.
The ship owner ordered the boatman to use the remaining two impellers to sail upstream at full speed.
But the river was fast and the journey was extremely difficult.
The heavy rain had already washed away the kerosene on the outside and deck of the passenger ship. The captain ordered all the lights on the ship to be turned on for sailing. However, it was too dark and the rain was heavy, so the light could not reach very far.
Another hour later, the violent storm has not abated, but has become even stronger.
"It's too bad. In twenty years of sailing, I have never seen such a heavy rainstorm for such a long time!" the boat owner sighed.
Zhao Chuan was only seventeen years old, so he had never seen such a violent storm.
Zhao Chuan asked Qi Yatou if he had ever seen anything like this. Qi Yatou said that he had seen it before, and that any appearance of alien beings would be accompanied by abnormal celestial phenomena.
All the guests on the ship were moved away, except for Zhao Chuan and the people from the third floor Marquis.
The third floor is high and the shaking is even more severe. Not long after, a guard stumbled down from above.
"Is the medical officer here? Where is the medical officer?" The guards shouted loudly, asking for Huang Jin, saying that the people above had fainted and needed help.
When Huang Jin heard this, he felt that the opportunity to show off had come and ran up quickly.
Unexpectedly, it only took a moment for him to run down again in a hurry, "Chuan'er, hurry up! Come up and have a look! It's scary!"
what happened? Seeing Huang Jin's frightened look, Zhao Chuan thought that Huang Jin had encountered a difficult and complicated disease that could not be solved, and the patient was acting frighteningly.
When Zhao Chuan followed the swaying passenger ship in the wind and rain and reached the third floor, holding on to everything that could stabilize his body, he realized that the scary thing Huang Jin was talking about was not a fainting person.
In the flash of thunder and lightning, a large snake with no tail could be seen closely following the passenger ship.
Zhao Chuan used to hate snakes. A few years ago, he accompanied Qinglian on a trip to the mountains. When she was bitten by a poisonous snake, he helped her take drugs. But since the last time I met a spiritual big black snake in the river, my disgust has become much lighter.
The big snake was who knows how long, and its head raised in the river reached the height of the third floor of the boat.
The snake's two eyes were shining like huge red lanterns, and it looked up at the sky from time to time.
Whenever lightning strikes, the big snake will stick its head to the top of the ship, almost on the plank on the top of the three-story cabin, and the lightning will fall and explode around the passenger ship.
At the highest observation deck, the two crew members were leaning over the guardrail. It was unclear whether they were killed by lightning or fainted from fright.
Zhao Chuan was more courageous and curious, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
When lightning struck again, the big snake stretched its head as big as an ox to the sky above the third floor again. Zhao Chuan saw it clearly. The part of the big snake that emerged from the water was brown, but its head was yellow, and there were two holes on the top of its head. protuberance.
Lightning struck, and although it did not hit directly, the big snake seemed to be in great pain. It shook violently and the snake's head let out a low whimper.
Although lightning struck many times and the snake was in great pain, it still refused to leave and followed closely behind the passenger ship, which puzzled Zhao Chuan.
Seeing that Zhao Chuan noticed it, the big snake seemed to express his feelings. It stretched its head directly in front of Zhao Chuan, with its head level with Zhao Chuan. Its two lantern-like eyes looked directly at Zhao Chuan, letting the lightning from the world strike around it.
It wasn't until lightning came very close to the snake's body that the snake's skin was burnt and smoky. Even though the snake's body twisted in pain, the snake's head still looked directly at Zhao Chuan without running away or hiding. Zhao Chuan didn't realize whether the snake recognized him. Did you realize that this big snake was the black snake in the river last time?
But the snake last time was all black and much smaller than this one. This one is brown with a yellow head and two high protrusions on its head.
Zhao Chuan suddenly thought that the black snake from last time could understand him. If this black snake was the same as the black snake from last time, then of course it could also understand him.
The wind and rain were still very strong. Zhao Chuan hid under a wooden shed with a view of the boat on the third floor and asked loudly if the big snake was the black snake from last time.
The big snake nodded up and down.
Zhao Chuan said you have grown up? The big snake nodded.
Zhao Chuan said that his body changes color as he grows up? The big snake still nodded up and down.
The big snake's head is covered with scales, so it cannot express its emotions, so it can only nod or shake its head.
Zhao Chuan paused and asked deliberately if it could speak human language? The big snake was stunned for a moment, the orange light emitted from his eyes dimmed a lot, and then he shook his head from side to side.
Zhao Chuan laughed secretly. He felt that this big snake might be wondering if humans are stupid. After communicating for a long time, he could only nod or shake his head to answer your questions. He even asked me if I could speak. If I could, why would I go to such trouble? ah?
There is no way, Zhao Chuan just likes to play his cards against the rules.
Zhao Chuan asked again, are you here to see me? The big snake shook his head.
Zhao Chuan asked if the thunder and lightning were here to hit you? The big snake shook his head.
Zhao Chuan asked what are you doing here? The orange-red light emitted from the big snake's eyes dimmed a lot, meaning he couldn't answer with a nod or shake of his head.
Zhao Chuan asked again if the thunder and lightning always followed the boat. Was it me who struck me? The big snake shook his head.
Zhao Chuan asked, was this lightning coming to hit the passenger ship? Orochi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
It seems that being able to speak is very important. Language is such a good thing. Zhao Chuan secretly said.
The big snake nodded and shook his head, meaning that splitting the passenger ship was yes and no. How to understand it?
Qi Yatou said that unusually strong winds, rain, thunder and lightning are usually caused by the presence of foreign objects. Since the big snake said that it was not struck by it, but was related to the passenger ship, it means that the thunder and lightning came to strike certain people on the passenger ship. Because the passenger ship is not a foreign object.
Zhao Chuan asked if the lightning was coming to attack the people on the passenger ship? The big snake nodded.
Zhao Chuan was secretly happy because his analysis was correct.
Zhao Chuan then casually asked who was this lightning coming to hit this passenger ship? After asking, Zhao Chuan immediately felt that it was nonsense again, because the big snake couldn't speak.
But this time the orange-red light emitted from the big snake's eyes did not dim. Instead, it turned to look at the third floor of the passenger ship and nodded several times there.
Oh, now Zhao Chuan understood that the lightning was coming to kill the people living on the third floor of the passenger ship.
Zhao Chuan asked the big snake for confirmation, and the big snake nodded again.
Are you here to kill the woman living on the third floor of this passenger ship? The big snake nodded, and the orange-red light emitted from the snake's eyes became much brighter.
Are you here to kill the man who lives on the third floor of this passenger ship? The big snake hurriedly shook its head from side to side, and its movements were very rapid.
Now it was all clear. The only women living on the third floor were the Marquis's daughter and the dozen or so young and beautiful women brought from the South China Sea as tribute.
The thunder and lightning came to attack the woman on the passenger ship. Although it had nothing to do with the snake, but it came here to join in the fun, it must be because it was worried that this woman would be in danger.
Zhao Chuan asked again, are you here to rescue the woman living on the third floor? The big snake nodded.
Just a woman? The big snake shook his head.
Many women? The big snake nodded.
It became clearer that the big snake was here to save the dozen or so young and beautiful women Nanhai had brought as offerings.
Zhao Chuan said okay, I'll go see them and I can help. The big snake nodded repeatedly, then dived into the water and disappeared.
After the big snake disappeared, the violent storm and thunder and lightning were still there, but much smaller.
Zhao Chuan arrived at the royal suite and was stopped by the guards. Zhao Chuan said that I am a doctor.
Zhao Chuan entered the room. The rooms in the third and second halls were filled with dying women.
The Marquis's daughter weakly asked Zhao Chuan what he was doing here.
Zhao Chuan said that I came to see a doctor.
Although the Marquis's daughter is not in good health, she still maintains her arrogance. She said that these are all delicate bodies of gold and jade. What can you, a child, do to cure it? It's not just trauma and bone reshaping. Besides, men and women are not intimate, so you are here alone. I'm here.
Zhao Chuan said that it’s stormy, rainy, thunderous, and it’s good to have someone come to see you. Your lives are almost in danger. Are you still paying attention to this?
"I am the daughter of the Marquis, and I am not just a casual person! I want the exclusive medical clinic on the ship."
"Okay, then Miss Hou, take care of yourself." Zhao Chuan turned around and left.
When Huang Jin saw Zhao Chuan coming down, he hurriedly asked how he was doing after being there for so long. Has he been cured?
Zhao Chuan said that Mr. Hou’s young lady wanted to be the medical officer on the ship because she thought I was not high enough.
Huang Jin said that people's medical skills are better than mine. Why do I still dislike you? I'll explain it to you.
Zhao Chuan said there was no need to explain, just go and treat it. It was just a minor illness caused by seasickness, just a few injections would be enough.
Huang Jin said that the people above are all from Lord Marquis, and I feel guilty going alone. It would be better for you to come and see with me.
Zhao Chuan said okay, you forced me to go up here.
Zhao Chuan went up with Huang for the second time, but he just stood at the door of the cabin and did not go in. The Hou family lady did not say a word when she saw this.
Huang Shi took the pulses of the dozen young women one by one, and then frowned.
"Chuan'er, come here!" Huang Jin waved to Zhao Chuan at the door.
Zhao Chuan glanced at Miss Hou sitting in the living room and did not move.
"He is my assistant and my apprentice." Huang Jin explained with a smile.
Miss Hou's family stopped talking.
Huang Jin asked Zhao Chuan to come into the room and ask Zhao Chuan to take the pulse of these young women.
Zhao Chuan was displeased and secretly wondered what was wrong with this old cunning guy. He couldn't even take his pulse? It was a night of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, so I didn’t feel tired, so I just went back to sleep.
Zhao Chuan tried several people in a row and frowned.
"That's not right, why are these ten women all suffering from Hua Mai?" Zhao Chuan was stunned.
This is the woman that the Marquis wants to pay tribute to a big shot in the capital. How can he send a pregnant woman?
Zhao Chuan looked at Huang Jin, and the two looked at each other.
Although Zhao Chuan's spiritual energy cultivation was abolished, his medical skills were not affected. Taking pulse is the most basic skill of a doctor.
Zhao Chuan took the women's pulse again.
The pulse is slippery and smooth, and the pulse is fluent in and out. It should be smooth, like a moving bead. This must be Hua Mai.
"Uncle Huang, these women are so weak and even unconscious. Although it is caused by the weather, the main reason is pregnancy reaction. If you don't believe it, ask them. It must be accompanied by dizziness and vomiting, indigestion, nausea, anorexia, and partial eclipse——"
"Shh! Of course I know this. Can I still tell that she is pregnant? No matter how bad my medical skills are, I can't be so ignorant." Huang Jin interrupted Zhao Chuan in a low voice.
Zhao Chuan rolled his eyes at Huang Jin and snorted, "Since you know, why do you still want me to try it?"
"Chuan'er, you are confused. I mean so many women are pregnant, what should I do?" Huang Jin said with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"What should we do? It's not you and me who caused the pregnancy. If they are sick, we will treat them. If they are not sick, we will leave. What does it have to do with us?" Zhao Chuan said.
"It's really dangerous to be young and ignorant of the world..." Huang Jin sighed.
"What's wrong, my uncle?" Zhao Chuan was puzzled.
"I'm afraid if we know this, it will be a question whether you and I can escape safely in the future..."
The wind and rain outside have become much lighter, and the passenger ship is not shaking much and has begun to become stable.
