After "Old Swordfish" taught his experience, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were all eager to try their skills.
But below five or six meters, the water pressure has increased greatly. Without a water goggle, a person cannot open his eyes to see at all on the seabed, which is equivalent to being blind. And since there is only one water goggle, the two of them can only take turns to dive.
The meaning of "Old Swordfish" was that Chen Liquan wanted to take a rest first and Hong Yanwu come first.
But Hong Yanwu knew Chen Liquan's temperament best. When he saw that Chen Liquan, who was usually only interested in practicing martial arts, now showed a rare expression of eagerness to try, he took the initiative to be humble and gave him the first opportunity.
Needless to say, Chen Liquan was never vague when it came to serious matters. As soon as he made the first "big move" down, he discovered traces of scallops. Two minutes later, when he surfaced from the water seven or eight meters away from them,
I actually took out three or four scallops, which was considered my first pot of gold.
After that, he got out of control, and his next few "big moves" also achieved great results. Ten minutes later, when his body was frozen and hard, and when he took a breath, he took a look and saw that this water was pulled out from the bottom of the sea.
Three or four kilograms of scallops came out, and three sea cucumbers were also brought along. It was a very fruitful harvest.
This achievement made Chen Liquan extremely satisfied. He couldn't help but express his gratitude to Hong Yanwu for his humility just now. His honest and honest attitude made Hong Yanwu and "Old Sabry" laugh so hard. "Old Sabry" even praised him, saying that
The level has far exceeded that of most "sea bumpers".
Needless to say, Chen Liquan's good results undoubtedly raised Hong Yanwu's interest. So after he put on his water goggles, he wanted to compete with Chen Liquan. With a kind of excitement, he took a long breath.
After that, he couldn't wait to jump into the waves.
Although the sea water is clear today, in the deep water area, the bottom of the sea cannot be seen on the surface. When Hong Yanwu dived to half the water depth, he could only vaguely see the shadowy bottom of the sea through the diving goggles. On the other hand, he also clearly felt the water.
The temperature decreases, the light becomes darker, the pressure increases, and the diving resistance increases.
At the same time, he remembered the words of "Old Swordfish" very clearly, so he did not dare to be careless at all. He kept using both hands to explore the path vertically downward to avoid hitting his head on the rocks. He continued to dive like this, and when he reached two meters from the bottom of the sea
, the vision became completely clear.
Compared with the beautiful scenery in shallow water areas, the underwater environment here has completely changed. The colorful seaweeds and sea creatures are gone. Occasionally, you can see small rocks, which are almost all covered with mottled and cascading large "sea creatures".
Oysters".
In addition, the original sandy land on the seabed has also disappeared. The seabed in front of you is covered with a thick layer of large "rolling oysters" (jargon, oysters that roll with the tide), which are like many small bricks. It is really spectacular, but the light
It is also relatively dark, and the visual range is less than three meters away.
This was the first time that Hong Yanwu saw the underwater scenery under deep water. If he were an ordinary person, he might find it a bit eerie, but in his opinion, it was truly wonderful.
Because according to the words of "Old Swordfish", only outstanding "sea bumpers" can go down to this eight (nine) meter water depth. If you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to set foot in this place in your life. So this is also a test for a "sea bumper"
"Hai Bing Zi" is where true courage and diving ability lie.
It's just a pity that perhaps because of Chen Liquan's visit just now, Hong Yanwu didn't find what he was expecting. So based on the principle of "hair doesn't count as bald", he picked it up by the way.
Two fist-sized "rolling oysters" began to float.
This can prove that he has reached the bottom of the sea. Secondly, this thing is also very delicious. Once the shell is broken, the plump oyster meat inside will be exposed, with a jade-like color and trembling tenderness, like watery tofu.
That’s something that makes people’s mouths fill with deliciousness and make their stomachs swell. Even if you don’t recognize this thing now, if by the 1990s, when fresh seafood became popular in Beijing, the value of this “rolling oyster” would be at least half a month’s salary of a worker.
.
In this way, Hong Yanwu's first attempt failed, but he was not discouraged. From the second attempt, he began to change his strategy. First, he began to swim to areas that Chen Liquan had not set foot in. Second, he began to use the "old swordfish"
"The skill of teaching is to use your ears to find the existence of large reefs.
The so-called use of ears actually means putting your ears into the water to listen to the sound.
This is because, according to "Old Swordfish", the underwater sound transmission is very clear. If you get close, there are some shellfish on the reef, and you are very vigilant. As long as there is someone swimming on the water surface, it will "click" the shells more than ten meters away.
closure.
Therefore, if one were to dive into the middle of a reef with many shellfish, it would be a complete noise, and the "clicking" sounds made by various shells when closing would continue one after another.
Hong Yanwu's luck was pretty good, but it was just his first trial. He didn't swim long before he heard a few soft sounds coming from the water. To him, this was like the roar of a starting gun, and he subconsciously pounced.
Entered the sea again.
This time, he swam on the seabed in the direction of the sound for nearly half a minute, and a large reef loomed in front of him.
However, when he swam closer, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although the towering reef was nearly three meters high and looked like a barrier, there were only a few small scallops scattered on the reef wall in front of him.
It was really not worth taking action for such a widowed person, but Hong Yanwu thought again, after all, seeing the real thing would be better than nothing! So he still pulled off a few scallops.
But what happened next was something he didn't expect. As he held his breath and swam toward the back of the big reef, his eyes suddenly brightened up. The wall on the back of the big reef was covered with half-open mouths.
There are about a hundred scallops, and they are not small, they are all about the size of a small palm.
This kind of grand scene made him immediately realize that he was lucky today. Otherwise, there is a saying among "sea bumpers" that "hitting the sea means bumping". This kind of thing has a lot of luck.
So in a state of extreme excitement, he began to grasp the scallops tightly with both hands.
These scallops were easy to grab, and they could be removed with a gentle tug. While he was grabbing and stuffing them into his pants, his hands were a little too busy. Until his pants were filled with scallops, and he was holding several more scallops in his hands.
, I couldn’t hold in my breath anymore, so I quickly surfaced with a huge amount of loot.
To say that this feat was not in vain, Hong Yanwu actually captured about ten big guys. In terms of weight, it completely exceeded the total amount of the small scallops Chen Liquan caught just now, weighing five or six kilograms.
On the surface of the water, after he put all the scallops into the net bag tied by the float, he couldn't help but feel happy while holding the "net float", feeling that this fierce act was not embarrassing at all.
When "Lao Swordfish" and "Chen Liquan" saw so many scallops, they were surprised. When they heard from Hong Yanwu that they had discovered a large reef on the seabed, their eyes shone.
"Old Swordfish" was really pleased with the outstanding performance of these two apprentices, so in order to reward them, he immediately used the fish knife he carried to pry open the scallop shells, and took out the delicious and tender scallop meat on the spot for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to eat alive.
Swallow alive.
This is the unique celebration habit of "Haipengzi". Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan already knew about it, so they swallowed it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, it was so delicious that they couldn't help but enjoy it!
Chen Liquan didn't even eat enough, and then he directly helped himself. He didn't even use a fish knife, he could open the closed scallop shell with just his fingers to eat the meat. While looking at the "old saury", Hong Yanwu couldn't help but
I sincerely lament that eating it this way can be called fresh seafood.
Unexpectedly, just when several people were laughing and Hong Yanwu was about to stab him again, something unexpected happened on the shore.
As several loud shouts came from the distant shore, Hong Yanwu and the others suddenly discovered that the "Little Baizi" on the shore seemed to be surrounded by several strong young men, and he seemed to be arguing loudly with those people.
.
And just when they hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Baizi" was pushed to the ground by someone again. At this time, Hong Yanwu could no longer care about anything else and immediately swam towards the shore with his arms waving!
