Chapter 4 Bonfire

Green sea, yellow shore.

The sun has set in the west, leaving only the last faint red glow in the sky, and almost everything has been silently swallowed up by the darkness.

Hong Yanwu held the "net float" in his hand, and Chen Liquan supported the "old saury" vigorously. The three of them were like three wriggling sea cucumbers, crawling together from the rising seawater to the warm shore.

As soon as they landed on the beach, the fifty or sixty sea cucumbers in the "Net Floater" began to squirm nervously, and all made a "squeaking" sound as they spit out water.

This familiar sound is really very pleasant to "Old Swordfish". Because sea cucumbers will die if they leave the sea, and if they crawl to the shore, they will live.

Obviously, this time with the blessing of God, he defeated them again and won.

After landing on the shore, the three wet people did not stay for a moment, but went directly to a large bonfire that was just lit for them by "Xiaobaizi" about twenty meters away.

The pile of firewood is the life of "Hai Bangzi", and the pile of firewood was carefully prepared by "Old Saury" before he went into the water.

The thin branches should be placed at the bottom, and the thicker ones should be placed on top, so that the layers overlap in a herringbone shape to ensure sufficient burning power and easy ignition.

The matchbox had to be pressed down with a pebble to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze. "Old Saber" even selected three of the best quality matchsticks in advance, leaving half of them exposed. This was the worst thing he did.

I was prepared for the situation, fearing that I would freeze to a greater extent than I imagined.

However, the match trick was useless at the moment, because "Old Saury" had already smelled a faint smell of gasoline. This made him immediately realize that these guys used the most convenient method to light the fire.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because gasoline is a scarce commodity and it is really difficult to get it.

Could it be that in the past few days, these bonfires that are eight feet away from them all use this method to light the fire? No wonder they light the fire and cook so quickly! After all, the people from the capital have some connections...

And something even more surprising to "Old Saury" was still happening. Because Hong Yanwu immediately called "Xiaobaizi" and brought a new towel and quilt and a bottle of "Zhuanghe Laojiao", and ordered to give it to "Old Saury" quickly.

Put it on and let him drink some wine to warm himself up.

Machine-woven towel quilts are the most fashionable gadgets, and they cost five yuan each in department stores. "Old Sabry" was only willing to buy them for his daughter, and he and his wife have never been willing to cover them. He never thought that someone would do it.

He would use such a good thing to wipe his body after crawling out of the sea.

The same goes for "Zhuanghe Laojiao", which is recognized as a good product in villages and towns all over the country, and even village cadres are reluctant to drink it.

Apart from that, not to mention the fragrant noodles that have been cooked in the aluminum pot, who can afford to eat refined grains these days! His own dry food has always only been cornmeal pancakes.

No wonder everyone says that people in the capital live in high-rise buildings, talk on the phone, and realize communism ahead of schedule. It seems that this statement is indeed true, and the lives of the people in the capital are really comfortable and tight.

Otherwise, these children are all high-ranking officials in their families...

In the midst of random thoughts, he was moved, but "Old Saury" still rejected Hong Yanwu's kindness. He even stopped Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan from going into the water to rescue him and wrapped themselves in towels to keep out the cold.

Because the sea water is still very cold at this time of year, if the coldness is completely driven out of the body using the method passed down by "Hai Bangzi" for thousands of years, most people will fall ill. Moreover, "Old Swordfish" is still "diving"

Among the sequelae of the disease, I knew I couldn’t drink alcohol.

So after explaining, "Old Swordfish" asked Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to follow him, and then he began to desperately lean his whole body towards the fire, tried his best to spread his arms, and carefully looked at the flames that were jumping high.

Grill every inch of skin.

After Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other, they followed suit and moved their bodies closer to the flames.

The tongues of fire were like countless red-hot steel needles, immediately penetrating the skin of the three people on the fire, piercing into the muscles and bone seams, and began to drive away the cold air that made people stiff and shiver.

To be honest, this kind of burning pain, not only does not make people feel any pain at first, but it makes people feel an indescribable comfort and happiness.

In the rapid rise in temperature, the goosebumps on the skin of the three people gradually began to subside, and even the hard body of "Old Swordfish", which was as cold as a stone, began to become softer.

Since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had been in the sea for a short time, their bodies were the first to regain consciousness. Not long after, they began to feel the burning pain caused by the flames, so they couldn't help but move back.

But "Old Swordfish" stopped them again, saying that it was not ready yet and had to continue roasting.

And they had always respected "Old Swordfish", and when they saw that his solemn instructions must be reasonable, they had no choice but to step forward to embrace the blazing flames like two prawns again.

Frankly speaking, at this time, the feeling of roasting on the fire began to become unpleasant. If it were normal, the "Old Sabry" would definitely make an uncontrollable moan to share the pain.

But at this time, he was absolutely unwilling to show such an embarrassed look in front of these young people. So he could only try his best to control his desire to speak out, and deliberately pretended to be nonchalant.

At this age, "Old Swordfish" already looks a little rickety. And because he had encountered a swordfish, his injured face seemed to have been burned in boiling water, and he was missing an ear, which made him stand out under the firelight.

He really looks like a twisted, ferocious monster with erratic behavior.

Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, and even "Xiao Baizi" who was adding fuel to the fire all cast their eyes towards him involuntarily.

However, because they knew about this, they didn't think "Old Sabryfish" was so scary. Instead, their hearts were filled with sincere respect. They even felt that "Old Sabryfish" should definitely be here with this face.

It is famous for its curved coastline.

And when the "old saury" returned to normal functions under the intense roasting, he also glanced at Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and carefully observed the two young men who fished him out of the water.

.

Similarly, under the red light, he could see very clearly. The bodies of these two people with strong muscles and swollen blood vessels were covered with many scars, especially on their arms and thighs. The sparse wounds made the

They are majestic and look like ancient warriors.

In addition, neither of them made a sound due to the power of the flames under this rough roasting, so there was only one explanation that made sense.

These two boys have suffered from sin since childhood! People who have never suffered from sin will never have such ability!

"Old Swordfish" was really surprised when he made a firm judgment. Because in his concept, the capital city is the most virtuous area, and everyone should have tender skin and tender flesh, and be well-dressed. It is impossible for that place to have a smooth and prosperous world.

Come out with this kind of good material that is born to be a "sea bumper"!

But the reality is so bizarre. In terms of physical strength, physique, courage, and endurance, these two boys are actually no less than real fisherman heroes who grew up in the wind and waves...

At the moment when he was extremely puzzled, "Old Saury" suddenly discovered that the dark skin of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had begun to show red spots. He couldn't care about anything else and immediately shouted in surprise.

"Ah, flowers are coming out of baking! Now that the front is done, you can turn over and bake again!"

This is the lingo of Haibongzi, which means it’s baked until it’s done.

At this time, the flames had gradually retracted towards the ground, and the body of "Old Saury" also fell down, until his belly was burning and painful. Then he slowly turned over and raised his limbs.

Demonstratively, they began to teach Hong Yanwu how to roast the backbone in the correct posture.

Just like that, after being roasted and turned over, the three people were like acrobats, repeatedly performing difficult movements. As the red spots on their bodies gradually expanded, they finally connected into cloud-like pieces and emitted light, finally revealing

Dried salt particles.

Only then did the old swordfish let out a long breath, reluctantly gave up the lingering pile of charcoal fire, then sat down on the beach, and then threw the entire "net float" at the feet of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

"Thanks to you, my old life was not left in the sea..."

"Old man, we don't want it."

"What, you think it's too little?"

"Old Saury" rubbed his skin all over his body, which was roasted with salt, and sighed in his heart for his shabby gift.

He naturally saw that these young people were not short of money, and even these things depended on others to find them.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both saw the expression on "Old Sabry" and hurriedly came to explain.

"You paid for this with your life, we can't take it..." Chen Liquan's words were as kind as ever.

"Old man, you should stretch your handles, you don't need to be so polite..."

When "Hong Yanwu" said this, his face seemed to turn red, but then he still expressed his opinion directly.

"...If you...if you really want to thank us, can you tell us about the 'Control Tiger Dragon'? It's best...it's best to help us catch one..."

"Old Swordfish" raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that Hong Yanwu would always be thinking about this matter, so he looked at him carefully. Only then did he see clearly that his face was full of determination and determination.

Definitely. It seems that there is a sense of not giving up until the goal is achieved.

"Do you know how ferocious the thing you are looking for is? Few people who have encountered it have survived. To catch one? That is wishful thinking! If you want to find it, you are looking for death!"

"Old Saury" has a straightforward temper, so what he said was a bit rude.

"It all depends on people, won't you survive? Besides, times are different now, and you can always come up with good ideas!"

Hong Yanwu didn't mind, he just refused to give up and showed a confident look.

"Old Saury" reacted with a startled expression, but remained calm, just sneering in his heart.

Can't listen to the old man's advice? Huh, young people are so ignorant! A small-mouthed fish eats crab roe without measuring the size of its mouth!

But then, he thought of the kindness of others who had just given him a helping hand, and finally sighed, having to restrain his contemptuous eyes.

He is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. Although the other party can't help but feel a bit of coercion, he can't help but return the favor. Therefore, he can only remember what he least wants to remember, when he encountered the "frustrating tiger and dragon"

"I spoke out all my details without reservation.

To talk about the general situation of this matter, Hong Yanwu and the others had already learned almost everything from the villagers of "Clam Bay", but the "Old Saury"'s personal description of the shape and ferocity of the "Zuhulong" was quite informative, but it was from their

Unimagined.

According to "Lao Daoyu", the appearance of "Zuhulong" is actually very similar to that of "Saury".

The one he had seen was about one meter long, but it was not silver, but dark black, and its scales were like iron. It was difficult to damage with harpoons and fish knives, and its dorsal fin and tail fin were as sharp as blades. When it was fierce, it could even destroy a wooden boat.

Crash.

Moreover, this kind of vicious creature is very scheming and absolutely cunning. On the surface, it is not as ferocious as a shark, but very gentle and cute. If you meet it, you will find it shaking its head to your left and right.

Wags its tail as if attacking unintentionally.

But you must not take it lightly at this time. This guy is actually confusing and observing, first making people relax their vigilance, and then looking for the best angle and opportunity to attack.

Once this guy sees the right opportunity, he will rush over at an unimaginable speed with lightning speed, and in just a split second, he can cut open a person's bones and disembowel him.

In fact, back then, the "Old Swordfish" barely escaped the first attack, and his chest was dripping with blood. He had already escaped to the boat, but he was unprepared for the "Frustration Tiger Dragon" and finally jumped out of the sea. As a result, he was opened by the fish with its bloody mouth.

, using a row of sharp teeth, he bit off half of his face with one "click".

If he hadn't relied on the strength of the new fishing boat that entered the sea, he might not have been able to avoid the fate of the boat being destroyed and killing everyone. But even so, when he escaped to the sea in a small boat, the bottom of the fishing boat began to leak...

Finally, "Lao Daoyu" also told an additional legendary story about "Zuhulong". In those days, this was a familiar allusion to many "Hai Bangzi".

It is said that Snake Island was originally where God imprisoned the "Sin Dragon". The two giant snakes, a male and a female, hidden deep in the cave of Snake Island are the "Sin Dragons" punished from heaven, so they can breed here.

Thousands of venomous snakes appeared.

But the male snake has been living a restless and lonely life on the island, always wanting to cross the sea to escape. Because "Tian Tiao" says that once the sinful dragon successfully crosses the sea, it can shed its snake form and become a real dragon again.

So one foggy morning, the male snake thought he had a good opportunity, so he ignored the female snake's dissuasion and went into the sea and swam towards the land.

During this process, the snake's body gradually shimmered with scales, and dragon claws and horns began to sprout.

But just as he was about to reach land and transform into a dragon, the God of Heaven had already known what was happening and sent down two sharp sword-like "Tiger Dragons" to snipe him.

They flew up from the waves in time, and with just a "crack" sound, the male snake, which had turned into half a dragon body, immediately broke into two pieces, blood spurted out, and fell into the sea tragically, becoming a scene in the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula.

, "Slender Dragon Island".

From then on, "Zuohulong" officially became the guard of Snake Island, forever guarding the countless poisonous snakes on the island so that they would never escape...

Ah, these charming and terrifying stories, accompanied by the rising moonlight, made Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi" beside the fire dumbfounded...
