From the moment they landed on the island, Hong Yanwu and the others completely took root on "Snake Island".
During the day, they would ask the "boat boss" to sail the boat to take them around the "Snake Island". The "boat boss" would catch fish on the way, and at night he would wait until nightfall before sailing back to the island to rest.
They don't need to go anywhere else, because "Snake Island" is located at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. According to rumors, the "Zuhulong" will only appear nearby.
It was almost winter, and the sea breeze here was very cold, and the temperature on the island was even lower at night. But because Hong Yanwu and the others had prepared sufficient supplies, life was not difficult.
First of all, the military tents and military sleeping bags "sponsored" by Yang Weifan are very effective and have remarkable thermal insulation and wind resistance effects. They can completely guarantee that Hong Yanwu and the others can sleep well every night.
In addition, military coats were also prepared, so Hong Yanwu and others did not have to worry about the cold and wind when they sailed out to sea.
In terms of food and drink, since the fishing boats carry a large capacity, they bring plenty of fresh water and dry food. The calories, oil and water can be fully satisfied with only "g8" cans and "compressed biscuits".
What's more, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have become "sea masters", and the "boat boss" can fish out a lot of fresh fish from the sea every day, so they take advantage of the things in the sea, whether they are grilled, grilled, boiled or stewed. Don’t be afraid of waste and let your temper flow.
The most important thing is that several boxes of liquor were also brought. The three of them could drink some every night.
Naturally, the "ship boss", who is used to hardships and hardships, is the most satisfied with such rich supplies. In his words, following Hong Yanwu and the others out to sea, he is not tired at all, and he eats well and drinks spicy food, which is better than resting at home. Feel free.
In this way, five or six days passed in a flash of the same monotony every day.
Although the sea was vast, there was no trace of "Fruiting Tiger and Dragon" at all. However, this was a situation that had been anticipated, and Hong Yanwu could not be said to be discouraged.
As for Chen Liquan, he was originally a serious-tempered person, and what he was least afraid of was boring and stupid work. So the two of them continued as before every day, taking the trouble to keep their eyes on the sea. They did not show any impatience or anxiety.
After getting along with each other for so many days, the "boat boss" already knew that the reason why Hong Yanwu was looking for fish was to save his father's illness. On the contrary, he became worried for them. He couldn't help but ask what he should do if he still couldn't find it.
Hong Yanwu replied like this.
He said that he knew that the probability of finding "Zuhulong" was low. Whether his father would have a chance of survival still depended on destiny.
But on the other hand, he could allow God not to give him this opportunity. But he could not allow it. If God opened his eyes, he would miss the opportunity just because of his own negligence and laziness.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the outcome at all at the moment. He only cares about one thing, which is to do his best to not let go of any clues...
After hearing this, the "ship boss" admired Hong Yanwu's filial piety and perseverance. From then on, he no longer tried to persuade him, but only cooperated with him wholeheartedly and worked hard to carry out this hopeless search.
Maybe it is true that good people are rewarded. Although it was difficult to make progress in the matter of "defeating the tiger and the dragon" for a while, the kind "ship boss" soon got good luck.
For some unknown reason, starting from the seventh day they landed on the island, the water near "Snake Island" became clearer and clearer, and there were obviously more and more sea creatures.
This fishing boat went around the island and lowered the net. When the net machine was pulled casually, it would either fish out half the net of golden "yellow croaker", or half the net of black and oily "herring". It was nothing like a formal fishing trip, chasing the sea currents. There is little harvest during fishing operations.
On the morning of the eighth day, it was even more sinister. The first net was a "mackerel" with blue light and silver stars, and the second net was a "prawn" with bright armor. And all of them were harvested by the net. .
That really made the "ship boss" so happy that he almost fell into the sea and shouted, "The Dragon King has given me a gift!"
Of course, we cannot keep this kind of good thing to ourselves. The first reaction of the "Boat Boss" is to go back to "Oyster Village" to report the news and call all the fishing boats currently in the village.
Hong Yanwu had no intention of objecting to this. Because he saw that the fishing boat was almost full of catch, and it was really time to return to the village to unload. In addition, the fishing village secretary and the "boat boss" had always been very helpful and looked out for other people's interests. It should also be done accordingly.
So he nodded happily and agreed, and just asked the "ship boss" to go back quickly and get some fresh vegetables, meat, and eggs.
As a precaution, he himself stayed on the "Snake Island" with Chen Liquan and did not follow the "Ship Boss" back to "Oyster Bay" for fear that "Zuo Hulong" would appear during this period.
Unexpectedly, just after the iron fishing boat disappeared from sight, strange phenomena in the nearby waters continued to appear one after another, and became more and more serious.
Gradually, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan discovered that even though they were standing on the shore, they could see more fish, shrimps and crabs swimming around the "Snake Island" in groups than when they were on the boat.
Red, blue, yellow, green, gray, black, red... colorful and different shapes.
Spanish mackerel, mackerel, snakehead fish, croaker, yellow croaker, jellyfish, sea crab, sea shrimp... There are all kinds of things with names and without names.
In short, the size, variety, and quantity were beyond their imagination.
This situation lasted for more than an hour, until dozens of big fish were stranded on the coast of "Snake Island" by their own kind, and countless "Samurai Crabs" swarmed onto the beach, which was considered to be the ultimate.
But just when they thought they had seen a rare and strange sight in the sea, they soon discovered that their knowledge was short-sighted. Because the real weirdness and rare wonders had just begun, and the highlight was yet to come.
As a layer of mystery and dazzling light appeared on the edge of the distant sea and sky, the wonderful myth that they could not dream of in their dreams really began!
At that moment, the calm sea surface became slightly trembling, breaking the smooth and mirror-like tranquility. A thin and tight wave boiled, and gradually turned into a fierce surge.
Then, from far to near, a white mist came rushing in, and the boiling sound became bigger and bigger. When it got closer to a certain extent, it was finally seen clearly. It was a large group of steel-blue fish with dorsal fins. A bunch of small racing boats are leaping forward on the sea!
Like countless rays of lightning, they twist the passing sea surface into waves as bright as buds and exploding as clouds.
But these are just the pioneers!
Immediately after, another large group of sparkling, flat-bodied fish jumped up!
There are more of these fish, like stars, like bullets, one after another, overwhelming, endless! From that end of the sky, move towards this end of the sky.
They are the regular troops and the real creators of flying in the clouds!
At this time, I don’t know whether it was the fish or the sea, but the sound of "boom" was heard, like an overwhelming amount of bullets and explosives resounding in the sky, dense, arrogant, domineering, and majestic!
"Boom!" Jump up, fall! Fall, jump up!
There seems to be a unified command resounding in the sky, commanding this magnificent lineup.
"Boom!"! Stunning waves of light danced on the white waves! Finally, they occupied the entire sea surface!
And when this mighty force was halfway through, an "officer" as big as a fish spirit finally appeared among the fish.
Some of them are as big as adult men, and some are as big as fishing boats. Although the number seems to be much smaller, there are still thousands of them.
Compared with the scouts and regular soldiers who opened the way, they were scattered among the fish and moved forward as if they were leisurely strolling.
With their backs as black and blue as the ridges and their heads as gray and black as the rocks, they surged bone by bone, as if they were swinging on a swing or riding a tall horse.
These are the fish that enjoy the highest treatment among fish. They are the most majestic and elegant, and they are also the most favored by the sea.
Although not many people are lucky enough to see them with their own eyes, everyone knows them and knows their names.
They are - dolphins!
In short, all these long, endless, moving schools of fish are arranged in a neat and orderly manner. Together they are riding the flying water spray towards a goal, majestic and brave.
…
The sea was so excited about this that it pushed up and down the waves and made a cry that shocked the whole world.
Standing on the "Snake Island", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were stunned by the miracle that the sea took the initiative to present to them!
