"Huh? It looks like the general? The general is back?!"
Just when Fatty Hong was still struggling in his heart, suddenly, an exclamation came from the pier!
"Back?"
When he heard that the man was back, Fatty Hong immediately became energetic and looked towards the sea.
Sure enough, that guy didn't lie to himself. On the dim sea level, there was a black spot heading here bit by bit.
However, it seems that this black spot is not traveling very fast.
Even though it was almost evening, and the evening wind was blowing the sails on the ship swollen, but who of the people at the dock didn't deal with ships every day? With just one glance, they noticed something was wrong.
"Why is this boat running so slowly?"
"Hey, why is the boat's draft so deep?"
"What's that yellow thing on the deck?"
On the shore, after hearing the news, more and more sailors rushed to the dock and looked eagerly at the big ship, and Fatty Hong was no exception.
However, as a man of culture who had studied poetry and books for more than ten years, his eyes were far inferior to those of those sailors!
While others pointed at the big ship and exclaimed, he could only vaguely see that there was indeed golden light floating on the ship.
"Jinguang? Will the Marquis go to sea to grab gold again?"
Rubbing his eyes, Fatty Hong was startled and soon thought of the story about Xiao Han who once ran to Goguryeo and robbed other people of their gold.
However, it seems that the time is not right!
According to the soldiers in the military camp, Xiao Han and the others only went out to sea in the afternoon.
Even if Goguryeo packed the gold in advance and waited for Xiao Han to leave, then load it on a ship and transport it later, this time would not be enough.
Besides, Xiao Han is not the father of Goguryeo. No matter how cheap they are, they will never give up their gold to others.
"It's fish! Those are fish!"
Just when Fatty Hong was thinking, he couldn't figure it out.
There was another roar of surprise from beside him, and he almost jumped into the sea without being frightened!
“It’s really a fish!”
"Mom! There are so many fish. I have never seen so many fish in my life!"
"What kind of fish are these? Why are they so golden and beautiful?"
"Nonsense, you said they are golden, so they must be called shit yellow croakers... Ouch, don't kick me! You don't want to..."
All around, there were shouts of surprise from sailors and soldiers!
In the era before mechanized fishing, even if many of them had lived at sea all their lives, they had never seen so many fish!
There are so many fish!
There are so many that they can’t even fit on such a large deck!
Those with good eyesight can even see big boats walking along, dropping fish into the sea, just like dumplings into a pot.
They were distressed and wished they could not run over in a small boat to catch the fallen fish.
"Woooo..."
Finally, a sailor on the big ship used his last bit of strength to blow the horn for landing, and then sat down directly in the pile of fish.
He is so tired!
Not only him, but everyone on the boat, even Xiao Han, Xiaodong, and even that beast Liu Hongji! They were too tired to stand up at this time! Let alone jump up and say hello to the people on the shore.
.
"I never dreamed that one day I would be paralyzed from catching fish!" Looking at the soldiers rushing over from the springboard, Xiao Han, who was smelling of fish, had a wry smile on his lips.
The school of large yellow croakers they encountered at sea this time was really too big!
I don’t know whether it was because the environment in the sea was so good at this time, or because there was no human interference.
This group of large yellow croakers was not only extremely numerous in number, but also very large, and there were hardly many small fish to be seen!
Of course, it was only later that Xiao Han understood.
The reason why there are so many large yellow croakers in this sea is not because he is lucky or blessed by God.
It was actually because at the turn of summer and autumn, it was the season when large yellow croakers migrated back to mate and lay eggs, so he was able to encounter such a large school of fish!
It is these large yellow croakers that are supposed to breed offspring, but now after his troubles, he doesn't know how many smaller yellow croakers will be born in the sea the next year.
But what did those things do to Xiao Han?
"Hey, hey, hey? Don't worry about the fish! Get the people down first!"
Fatty Hong's powerful roar rang in his ears. Xiao Han raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Fatty Hong looking towards him.
However, this guy who used to be half flattering and half cunning when he saw me in the past has something else on his face at this moment, it seems like: reverence?
Too lazy to think about this anymore, Xiao Han was helped out of the boat by Fatty Hong and another sailor.
Seeing that his body smelled fishy and his clothes were covered with tiny fish scales and blood, he quickly found someone to boil bath water and bring it over.
Xiao Han soaked in the water comfortably for a while, and then put on a new set of clean clothes. After feeling relieved, Xiao Han walked back to the port terminal with his sore thighs.
It was already dark at this time!
But on the pier, the lights are still bright!
Torches were standing around the pier, and they were blown by the sea breeze. The light and shadow swayed, and the fish mountains illuminated were even more spectacular!
"We actually caught so many fish?"
Looking at the densely packed fish mountain in front of him, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a little surprised!
At that time, at sea, they only cared about extorting money, fishing, extorting money, and fishing again.
If the net is not enough, use a basket to scoop it out!
If the baskets are not enough, use bamboo poles to stab them!
Anyway, those fish were stunned by the bamboo pole and couldn't even move. With just one stab, you can stab a big fish weighing several kilograms or even more than ten kilograms!
But this is still too slow and cannot keep up with the speed of floating out of the sea.
Finally, the sailors on the ship remembered that there were several cast nets in their cabin, and hurriedly took them out for use, and found that they were really useful. One net weighed several hundred kilograms!
Most of the reason why they are as tired as they are now is because of pulling fish on the boat.
Of course, their efforts also paid off.
The large yellow croakers caught on the ship not only filled the spare cabin, but also the cabin where the sailors lived.
If they weren't afraid that the cannons would be squeezed by fish and rust and corrode in the future, they wouldn't even let go of the cannon cabins.
In short, in the end, almost all the cabins on the ship were full, and the deck was full of fish, with not even a place to stay! After returning to the shore, it took those people more than an hour to collect all the fish.
All the fish caught were cleaned up.
"Isn't this probably tens of thousands of catties of fish?"
Next to me, Liu Hongji came over at some point and was looking at these large yellow croakers with his eyes wide open without blinking.
