Everyone greeted each other and joked, "It's another day of hard work."
That is to say, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching and the old man has provided compensation, everyone can accompany the old man to fool around like this.
Otherwise, if it had been earlier, they would have had the intention but not the time.
They also have to work and support their families.
…
There was a thin layer of mist covering the sea in the early morning, which was quite hazy and hazy.
The arrival of everyone broke the tranquility of the sea.
For a time, there was quite a bit of excitement.
…
"let's go!"
Everyone shouted, and a ship sailed away from the pier.
Waves surged up in the calm sea.
…
Xiao Xiao and the others lay on the side of the ship, looking at the endless sea. They took a deep breath, and the air rich in water vapor poured into their limbs and bodies, making them feel refreshed immediately.
The confusion and sleepiness that I felt when I got up early are gone.
Although it's also very cold.
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng shuddered all over, the hairs on their exposed skin stood up, and goosebumps spread all over their bodies.
"Hiss~ It's so cold."
Zhuge Yun complained vaguely and shrunk his neck a little more.
However, his eyes kept staring at the sea, and he did not forget to remind Xiao Xiao, "Third brother, if there is any situation, you must tell me in time."
Zhang Bo opened his mouth but did not complain.
He actually quite understood Zhuge Yun's thoughts.
Even if they can't see it, they will still be very excited as long as they know that the turtle is really around them.
…
The mist gradually dissipated, the sun shone onto the sea, and the deep sea water became a little clearer.
The ship sailed to the same sea area as yesterday again.
Numerous ships were scattered and dotted on the sea.
Even though most people think that magical turtles are just old people's nonsense, at the beginning of the day, everyone is still patrolling the sea with great enthusiasm.
But as time went by, everyone's enthusiasm dropped at a speed that was visible to the naked eye when they expected nothing.
Some people even caught the fish and said, "Maybe the turtle will be caught together with the fish."
Uncle Zhang shook his head, with some disapproval on his face.
After all, I was paid by Uncle Li...
If they really wanted to fish out the turtle, that would be it.
After all, it's not impossible.
Although the possibility is slim.
The turtles are not stupid.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they were just casually perfunctory and had no intention of fishing for any magical turtles.
I just want to catch a little fish, just a little fish.
"It's not the first day they've done this."
Uncle Yu walked to the side of the boat close to Uncle Zhang's boat, with a look that seemed both appreciative and sarcastic, "What a bunch of smart guys."
"My mind works really fast."
"Who told Uncle Li not to care about them at all?"
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly.
"How can he take care of it?"
Uncle Yu shook his head, "I don't have enough energy to begin with."
"Besides, when Uncle Li came to the sea, he only wanted to find the magical turtle. His eyes were fixed on the sea. How could he see anything else?"
"Alas~"
Uncle Zhang sighed, "The child's mother said that Uncle Li's wife has had some serious pregnancy reactions these days..."
"Instead of wasting time here, it is better to stay at home and spend more time with your wife and children."
"Isn't this better?"
"Who says it isn't?"
Uncle Yu shrugged, "But everyone has their own choice."
"Don't just try to persuade Uncle Li."
"So that he won't have to say whether you want him to die or not."
"It would be even worse if the old man gets angry."
"Anyway, it's his own business, so you should just follow his wishes."
Uncle Zhang was silent.
Zhang Bo and others, who were listening to the conversation with their ears pricked up, also fell silent.
They looked at each other and then spread their hands.
"Actually, it's not that I can't understand it."
Zhuge Yun muttered, "Anyone would go crazy if they knew there was hope that they would not have to die."
"What are wives and children?"
"The most important thing is to live your own life."
…
"Besides, the old man's feelings for his current wife are not deep enough, right?"
Zhao Luzheng was thoughtful, "Why would you give up the hope of having a baby just to be with her?"
"Although...it's a ridiculous hope."
…
"okay."
"Anyway, as Uncle Yu said, we outsiders can't say anything about people's own choices."
Zhang Bo doesn't have much desire to discuss this matter.
The choice has already been made, no matter how much you talk about it, it will not help.
He turned around and looked for Xiao Xiao.
At a glance, I saw the person I was looking for on the bow of the boat.
He walked over.
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng followed closely.
"Lao San, you-"
Zhang Bo was about to ask something, but Xiao Xiao's words stunned him.
"coming."
…
"Ah, what's coming?"
Zhang Bo didn't respond and asked in confusion.
On the other hand, the eyes of Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng lit up instantly.
"Lao San (Third Brother), are you saying that the Turtle is here?!"
The two said in unison.
The superimposed loud voices immediately attracted the attention of the two people chatting on the side of the boat.
Especially after realizing what the other person meant.
Uncle Zhang walked over quickly, his face full of disbelief, and his voice couldn't help but be a little loud because of the surprise, "What? Did you see the turtle?!"
"Really?"
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to answer, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked ahead.
Just when Zhang Bo and Uncle Zhang were a little confused, there was a sudden commotion in front of them.
They subconsciously cast their gaze over.
…
"Saw it!"
"Uncle Li saw the turtle!"
People were shouting from the front, excited, excited, and as disbelieving as Uncle Zhang.
"Where?"
"Quick! Catch him!"
"Didn't you see it?!"
"Yeah, I didn't see it."
"Which of you saw it?"
…
For a while, the sea was noisy.
But soon, the intense emotions calmed down, and the people on the boat looked at each other in shock.
Some people were still carrying fishing nets in their hands.
Because none of them saw the turtle.
The scene was somewhat stagnant and excessively silent.
Only the old man's cry was particularly loud.
"Quick, the turtle appears!"
"Do it!"
"What are you all doing?!"
"It will disappear again later!"
The old man grasped the side of the boat tightly with both hands, his eyes not willing to leave the creatures in the sea for a second, and just tilted his face slightly to glance at everyone.
His face looked angry and anxious.
…
He didn't get an answer.
The strange silence around him finally made the old man realize that something was wrong.
He raised his head and looked around, frowning tightly, "What's wrong?"
"Why aren't you moving?"
"Quick!"
"As long as you help me catch the turtle, I won't treat you badly."
"I have money!"
…
Everyone looked at each other.
One person spoke up, "Uncle Li, it's not that we don't want to help you, and it's not that we don't want to make this money."
