Chapter 1530 (^ - ^) Hot Day
Today is the seventh day since the Li family's pioneering fleet led by Little Anne left Basra in the Persian Gulf and headed south.
At the beginning, it took them three days to arrive at the island at the exit of the Gulf of Aden, and rested for a day at the port named 'Sogodra', and at the same time carried out some necessary supplies and bought A lot of fish, fresh coconuts or coconut oil, etc., and then started all the way south along the coast of Africa.
Afterwards, as they gradually approached the equator, the crew soon discovered that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. All become hazy, even if they are not very far from each other.
Even the wind here has become extremely weak, almost non-existent, so that the clipper fleet, which is known for the speed of the Li family, sailed in this sea area for three days and three nights, but it still seemed that they could not leave. Here, let alone arriving at their intended destination.
Here is the equatorial windless zone, which mainly occurs in weak or windless areas near the equator where the wind direction in the bottom troposphere changes.
In the area between 5° south of the equator or north of the equator, the sun is almost direct all the year round, and it is the area with the highest annual average temperature on the earth's surface. Because the horizontal distribution of temperature is relatively uniform, the horizontal pressure gradient is very small, resulting in the airflow Convergence rises mainly, and the wind speed is weak, so it is called the equatorial windless zone. It is the most fearful and dangerous area that sailing ships in this era need to avoid when sailing.
However, the Li family's development fleet needs to go south to Africa, so even if it is dangerous, they must pass through here.
Besides, when they were in Sogodra, the fleet had already replenished enough food, water, and all kinds of food and drink, so even if the speed is very slow now, it can only rely on the weak wind that can't even drum up the sails. However, the crew members were not in a hurry, they just hid in the shadow of the sails in twos and threes and silently fought against the scorching heat.
"No way!"
"It's killing me..."
"I want to soak in a bucket and not get up all day..."
At this time, in the captain's cabin, Song Yifeng only opened the left and right windows for ventilation after closing the locked door and the front and rear windows to prevent people from peeping. The whole person is very ugly, lying on the bamboo chaise longue and moaning in an unladylike manner.
"Why is it so hot..."
"It's even hotter here than the Indian Ocean, it's too bad, Anne, I'm really going to be roasted..."
"Woooo..."
at this time,
Even in the captain's room, without being exposed to the sun, the scorching sea breeze coming in from the window and the scorching wooden boards made Song Yifeng sweat profusely all over his body, making her white and smooth shoulders, The back and the jade arms are covered with a layer of hot white light.
Although it's hard to see people with this appearance, Song Yifeng doesn't care so much!
That's how she half-heartedly lay on the slightly cool long bamboo chair, let her body greedily absorb the coolness of the bamboo chair, and at the same time let her sweat soak the chair slowly and become more and more slippery.
If at this time, the fresh-blooded crew and sailors outside saw that the second admiral Song Yifeng in the captain's room had such an incomparably charming and charming appearance, they would definitely turn into a group of hungry wolves in an instant, and then panted. Did you rush in with a heavy breath?
But unfortunately, they are very disciplined, unlike those mobs on merchant ships, they are even more disciplined than the navies of those European countries, and they absolutely obey the orders of the two admirals, and they will definitely not break into the captain without authorization In the room, you can't even lie on your stomach and peek through the cracks.
Moreover, because the 'Xiangfeihu' is the flagship, their ship needs to open the way at the forefront, while the other four ships follow one after another a hundred meters away, so, in this huge captain's room, After the front and rear windows were closed, Song Yifeng, who only opened the windows on both sides, didn't need to worry that anyone other than that little guy Annie could see her current appearance.
(…)
??(??￣?￣)????
(Tibbers said that it has actually seen it for a long time, and it has even studied every part of the opponent's body, and it is also very greedy for the opponent's delicate body, wishing to jump out and rush over immediately, and then Grab the other party, take off the other party's pants, and then forcefully tear off a white and tender thigh or arm, put it in your mouth and chew it!)
(…)
ε=(′?｀●)))
(It's a pity that its bad little master doesn't allow it to eat people casually, Tibbers Xiong. It has been a long, long time since it has really eaten people, especially a delicate female earth human like Song Yifeng... and The last time it ate it was when it ate the witch Irena and the old woman Fran in the real projection arena. Thinking about it, it still misses their delicious and juicy bodies.)
(…)
??﹃??
(The crumb witch Irena is tender and juicy and melts in the mouth, while the Fran is very chewy, and the taste is not bad, but... I don’t know that the one in front of me is lying on the bamboo chair, and the hot air is baked so bloody Swelling up, exuding the smell of a fascinated bear, looking rosy in white, Song Yifeng, who is sure to be able to swallow it as long as Mr. Tibbs Xiong jumps up, what kind of different taste will it be?)
"..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
However, before Tibbers, a certain bear, continued to fantasize and was ready to move, Little Annie, who knew what it wanted to do now, gave it a threatening glance in its direction.
After all, the current Song Yifeng is her admiral Annie's little follower and an important tool for chatting and boring. How could she make Tibbers really jump up and eat him?
Anyway, for that kind of thing, it can just think about it. As for putting ideas into action, she, Admiral Anne, will definitely not allow it.
(…)
o(╥?╥)o
"Annie..."
"How about you ask someone to bring in a bucket of water and let me soak it all day?"
Suddenly, Song Yifeng curled up and sat up from the bamboo toffee chair, without covering up the white and red skin with hot eyes, she just flirted with her eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed to play. Little Annie, who was holding a game console, pleaded.
To be honest, if sea water is not good for the skin, and if there is no fresh water rinse after soaking in sea water, the skin will become very dry, stinging, sticky, uncomfortable, have an unpleasant salty smell and become rough, At the same time, if there were potentially dangerous sharks and jellyfish in the sea, she might have jumped into the sea and swam for a while.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Water is for drinking, not for bathing, so they won't fetch it for you!"
o('^')o
Annie glanced at the other person, and then quickly resumed playing on her game console.
Because this is a relatively closed private space, I don’t worry that too many outsiders will see it, so Admiral Anne naturally doesn’t mind her playing in the captain’s room of a sailing warship in the 17th century. How outrageous the behavior of a 21st century video game console.
"!!"
"But aren't you hot?"
Song Yifeng looked down at the beads of sweat that kept coming out of her body, and then saw how Annie was still sitting quietly on the bed, so she couldn't help asking strangely.
"hey-hey!"
?(￣??)???
"Although people don't like hot weather very much, they are not afraid of heat!"
(????-)?
Anyway, Admiral Anne would definitely not tell the other party that even if the ship was burned, she would still be able to sit in it until it was completely reduced to ashes, and she would not lose a single hair of herself.
So, sitting on the soft bed now, she didn't even sweat, but if Song Yifeng sat on it, the other party's sweat might have already soaked through the sheets, and if that happened, she would definitely be disgusted by her to death!
"I'm so envious..."
"That……"
"Can't you really bring me a bucket of water in?"
Now Song Yifeng really wants to take off her clothes and soak in clear water for an entire afternoon. She will never come out of the barrel until the sun goes down.
"No way!"
(??へ???╬)
"People said that water is for drinking, not for bathing!"
(*′ω′) o
Admiral Anne is a very principled person, so, without being polite at all, she directly rejected the other party's shameful act of wanting to take a bath with the reserve water on the ship.
"But……"
"Don't you take a bucket of water to take a bath every night?"
"Oh no, it's two barrels!"
Song Yifeng directly exposed Annie's double-standard behavior without being polite at all. Anyway, she knew that every night, she could also get a bucket of water and use it to take a bath.
"That's different!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"The water was created by people using magical water-making techniques. They didn't let people go to the cabin to carry water!"
(‘???`)
"That……"
"You also become a bucket with me now?"
"It's better to change into a pot!"
Song Yifeng was shocked, and then jumped up from the bamboo chair, then ran over briskly, approached Annie, and pointed to the big wooden basin in the corner of the captain's cabin that served as a bathroom.
"no!"
o('^')o
"Magic can't be used indiscriminately in this world, once a day is almost enough."
(''▽'`)
Annie doesn't want to break her own decision, because she doesn't need it now, if she needs it, she will definitely do it without any scruples, but unfortunately, she doesn't want to do what Song Yifeng wants to do now, because she I really don't think this kind of weather is uncomfortable, especially when she is concentrating on playing games.
"hateful!"
"It's so hot now but you can't take a bath. What's the use of taking a bath after the sun goes down at night?"
"Annie..."
"You really suck!!"
Saying that, Song Yifeng directly ran back to her bamboo toffee chair with resentment, and then lay down again, crushing her small body that was not very bulging even more.
(…)
??﹃??
(Seeing Song Yifeng's appearance, Tibbers began to dream again, and it suddenly felt that it seemed that it would be a bad idea to put the other party, including the person and the bamboo, on a charcoal steamer to cook slowly, and then eat it Good choice?)
"..."
(?????)
"Tibbers..."
(`へ′*)ノ~??????
Finally, Annie couldn't stand the little bear's nagging, because she felt that she was getting hungry after being nagged by it, so she grabbed it, and without even looking at it, put it Tossed straight into a corner.
"??"
"Annie, what are you doing?"
Song Yifeng didn't know why, so he got up again, and then picked up the plush bear that Annie had thrown away, patted it and hugged it in her sweat-stained arms.
"Alas!"
"Ann, Anne!"
"It's strange, why is your little bear so cool, isn't it made of fur?"
Suddenly, Song Yifeng started to lift the little bear as if she had discovered a new continent, and then sat back on her bamboo chair and began to ponder and observe carefully.
"It's a shadow bear, maybe it's the energy of the shadow that makes you feel cool?"
(?~?)
"However, it has been thinking about how to eat you just now, why are you still holding it?"
!(;?o?)o
Seeing that Song Yifeng hugged the little bear again beautifully after finishing the research, Annie couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.
You know, if she hadn't been suppressing that bad little bear, I'm afraid it would have jumped up a long time ago, then stripped off Song Yifeng's thigh or arm and chewed it slowly like a spicy stick.
"Nonsense!"
"It's just a doll, how can it eat people?"
Obviously, Song Yifeng didn't take Annie's words seriously, and the last time she was drunk and carried back to the bedroom by a certain bear did not leave any impression, so she didn't think it had any meaning It's so scary, but you still think it's a good toy to relieve the heat?
"Then do whatever you want..."
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"But its fur is covered with beads of your sweat, so you have to wash it clean at night!"
(￢д￢.)
Anyway, Annie, who was watching by herself, was not too worried that a certain bear would suddenly explode and do such terrible things to Song Yifeng. After thinking about it, she turned her head away again and continued playing her game console to pass the time. He exhorted without looking back.
"no problem!"
"Don't worry! I will take good care of it!!"
Song Yifeng cheered, and then excitedly hugged the furry but cool teddy bear and rolled on the bamboo chair.
"..."
(ー△ー;)
Annie doesn't plan to care about it, anyway, she won't tell that Song Yifeng: Now, a certain angry little bear is thinking about eating the other's one hundred and eighth way to eat, just wait for the day when she doesn't pay attention Time to put it into practice!
...
When the fleet continued to sail slowly on the equatorial windless belt, and when the two admirals of the fleet, Annie and Song Yifeng, were still hiding in the captain's cabin to escape the summer heat and doing nothing responsibly, the first officer was still braving the scorching sun on the deck. He was busy on the podium, urging the sailors to adjust the sailing direction in time, so as to catch the ever-changing small breeze.
"Report!"
"My lord!"
"To the southwest, we found a fleet with twelve ships!"
At this time, the tanned and skinny lookout on the top of the mast suddenly called out to the chief mate below the deck.
"Their banner..."
"It seems that the Woodin Chamber of Commerce mentioned the Espinosa Chamber of Commerce!"
"not good!"
"They hung up the battle flag and opened the gun door!!"
Then the lookout on the mast shouted again.
Undoubtedly, since the ships of their Li Family Fleet were relatively large, with tall masts and sails, the enemy might have discovered them a long time ago, so the opponent was also ready for battle one step ahead of them.
"ah?"
"Are you fighting in this kind of sea area, in this kind of ghostly weather?"
Looking at the breeze that couldn't even inflate the sails and the slow speed of the ship, and looking at the enemy ships that hadn't appeared at the end of his line of sight, the first officer couldn't help but sighed.
The weather is so hot, and the sweat keeps dripping just by standing. If we still have to fight, the consumption of fresh water will definitely be doubled, and the sailors will also feel very uncomfortable... But there is no way, since the enemies have appeared, Moreover, they are also ready for battle, and their Li family fleet must not turn a blind eye.
"Order!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Remember, just sink them as soon as they come into range, don't waste time!"
Seeing a herald approaching dutifully, the first officer sighed, and immediately gave the order to prepare for battle and long-range bombardment.
Now the weather is calm, although the speed advantage of their Li family ships has been severely restricted, and they are definitely not faster than the enemy, but the accuracy of their artillery cannons will rise to a very terrible level, so the first officer believes that the enemy will He would definitely regret coming to this kind of place to trouble the Li family fleet at such a time.
"yes!!"
The herald responded loudly, and soon, the flagship "Xiangfeihu" and several warships behind almost simultaneously rang the bronze bells for battle preparation.
Clang~!
Clang~! Clang~! Clang~!
