Song Anning did not show any panic. She looked up at the sky. It is said that the weather at sea is changeable and one cannot completely rely on the weather forecast. This time she has gained some experience.
They were moving very fast, even surpassing a boat that had returned earlier. Seeing that they were being caught up, those people rowed desperately and were very unwilling to give up.
The sky gradually darkened, and the clouds pressed down on the sea like heavy mountains.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, the waves roared, and the boat struggled to move forward in the water.
Seeing that Song An Ning was very calm, the panicked hearts of the others also calmed down a lot.
The servants of the Chen family who boarded the ship this time included a robust old woman and a servant that Chen Guanghui usually carried with him. Xiao Yao and Yu Xiaochuan took over their places, allowing them to take a short rest.
After taking turns rowing for a while, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the dark sky. The children stared at the sea nervously and stretched out their hands to help row.
Faster, faster...
"Master, there are still more than ten nautical miles to go. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Chen Guanghui's shoulders were so sore that he didn't dare to stop for a moment. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if he were still on the big ship.
The ropes that fixed the sails had been cut into a mess by everyone. If there were no spare ropes on the boat, they would be in trouble.
"Well, let's work harder and we'll be there soon."
The servant of the Chen family replaced Song An Ning. She rubbed her swollen and painful arm and asked Xiangxiang to install two more small engines under the boat.
There was a howling wind on the sea now. With the help of the sea wind and waves, the speed of other ships was also much faster, so their small boat was not going too fast.
"There are still eight nautical miles left! Come on, Master!"
Xiangxiang was also anxious, and at the same time felt a little guilty. It was because her level was too low. If it was an advanced version of the weather forecast, she would definitely have discovered the situation earlier.
At this time, raindrops as big as beans fell cracklingly, hitting my face and it was a bit painful.
The waves were high and the wind was strong, and the boat was swaying in the wind and rain. Song Anyue was very scared, but this time she did not cry. Instead, she clenched her fists and looked nervously towards the sea.
"Seven nautical miles, six nautical miles..."
As we got closer, we could vaguely see the lush mangroves. In the face of wind and rain, they still stood there steadily, unmoved.
"Sister Aning, my father and mother have encountered weather like this before.
We're almost there, it'll be fine."
He said this to Song An Ning, and at the same time, he was comforting himself. In fact, he had prayed a thousand times in his heart, asking his parents to bless them and help them arrive safely.
"Of course, we've come so far, and there's only a little left.
I will definitely be able to go back.”
But as soon as she finished saying this, the raindrops became heavier, as if mocking what she had just said.
Now there are more than three nautical miles away from the shore. Song An Ning picked up the oar again and rowed forward with all his strength.
Thick fog rose from the sea, and the mountains that were previously visible were reduced to mere shadows.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone could hardly open their eyes. Now they had only one thought in their minds, to paddle forward and go home.
"Two nautical miles. We'll be there soon."
After Xiangxiang gave this reminder, she turned on the four engines under the boat to the maximum. In this way, they would be able to successfully reach the shore in about ten minutes.
"One nautical mile!"
The map kept flashing in front of Song Anning's eyes. A few hundred meters, only a few hundred meters.
However, the last part of the journey was a bit difficult. The wind was strong and the waves were high, and some water entered the boat. When the boat was less than a hundred meters away from the shore, Song An Ning asked Xiangxiang to turn off the engine.
The waves brought them to the shore, where many people were standing, including servants from various families who had not boarded the boat, and many fishermen who were watching the fun.
"We're finally ashore, Master. The carriage is right there. Let's go back quickly."
"it is good."
Even after getting on the carriage, they had not yet recovered from the thrill of the moment. For a moment, the carriage was silent and everyone was soaked.
"After tonight, I'll take the children home. Don't go out for the time being. The people on that big ship probably won't be able to come back."
Song An Ning gave a few instructions, and the two little ones snuggled in her arms. Too many things happened today, completely overturning the two little ones' previous cognition.
On weekdays at home, they only need to think about where to go and what to eat. But after going out, they found that their sister has to deal with so many things.
Chen Guanghui's face no longer had the playful smile he had before. While rowing, he thought a lot, and when he spoke to Song An Ning, there was a bit more respect in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Master. My husband and I have the protection of our family, so there won't be any problems.
After this incident, Linhai Town will probably be in chaos for a while, and our business may be delayed for a few days."
"There's no rush for this. Take care of yourself. Making money is nothing compared to your life."
The few of them said goodbye at the door of the inn and were drenched by the rain. Song An Ning was afraid that the children would get sick, so she asked the inn staff to bring a few buckets of hot water so that they could take a good bath and drink ginger soup.
Not only that, she also bought some Chinese patent medicine for treating colds from the mall and gave each person a packet to drink to prevent getting sick.
"Sister Aning, please leave us alone and go soak in the hot water."
"Okay, I'll go get another room. You guys can eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
But even after she finished her bath and changed her clothes, the food on the table was still there untouched.
"Sister, please eat. Yuan is not hungry..."
When they were asked to eat, the children shook their heads like rattles. Ah Yue even covered her mouth and refused to look up at the food.
"If you can't eat anymore, there are snacks here. You'll have to fill your stomach at least.
Otherwise, I’d be hungry and have a stomachache at night.”
She didn't force it. The children were frightened today and saw so many uncomfortable scenes, so it was normal for them not to be able to eat.
She had always been calm about these things. In her previous life, someone had suggested that she become a forensic pathologist, but she knew that she wasn't afraid of corpses, but she was afraid of insects! She had no choice but to give up the idea.
At night, Song Anyue grabbed Song An Ning's clothes and refused to let go, with a pleading look on her little face.
"Ayue, can you sleep with your sister tonight?"
After Song Anyue said this, Yu Xiaoyu beside her pursed her lips.
It’s great to have a sister. She and her brother have different genders, and even if they sleep in the same room, they have to draw the curtains. But today she is really scared.
Song An Ning only took one look at her and understood Yu Xiaoyu's disappointment, and quickly waved with a smile.
"How about Ah Yue and Xiao Yu sleeping with me tonight?
I'll have the guys bring in a small bed so Ayuan and Xiaochuan can sleep together. We can put up a screen so we can talk before we go to sleep."
After she said this, the children's eyes lit up instantly. How could they not respond to such a good thing?
"Thank you, sister. I'll make the bed right away!"
"Sister Aning, is this really okay?"
"Of course."
Before going to bed, the children seemed to have agreed not to mention what happened that afternoon.
Yu Xiaochuan was telling everyone about the interesting things about going to the sea, while Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue kept talking about digging bamboo shoots and farming.
But it wasn't long before the children fell asleep and the only sound in the room was their even breathing.
Song An Ning slept between A Yue and Xiao Yu, with the two children holding her arms tightly.
There was a raging storm outside, but it was quiet and beautiful inside.
At this moment, Song Anning suddenly opened his eyes and asked with his mind:
"Xiangxiang, the topic at sea isn't over yet."
"Wow, Master! You scared Xiang Xiang!"
