Chapter 112: Into the Sea
"Uncle, it's no problem to help you, but I'm going to participate in the National University Games in a few days, and the amount of things you have to transport is so large, I'm afraid that the time will be too late, otherwise, after my sports meeting is over, I'll help you move all the things, do you think it's okay?" I said as if asking.
I think this sloppy uncle always looks careless and very easy-going.
But who knew that as soon as I finished saying this, he directly put his hand on my shoulder after buttoning his nose, and said gloomily: "Boy, do you want to run?" Tell you, if you don't help me finish moving things, you don't want to go, if you dare to move other crooked thoughts, hehe, you should know Lao Tzu's methods!"
After he finished speaking, he led me into the cabin, which was very basic, except for a wooden bed, a simple stove, and the only household appliance was a light bulb.
He took out a rubber silk suit for diving from a broken box, as well as some rudimentary diving goggles and snorkels, stuffed them into my arms, and said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu saved your life, you will pay it back with your life, I don't care how long you bring things up, in short, you don't want to leave until the things are shipped." ”
He was determined to let me help him die, he really came out of the wolves first, and like a tiger's mouth, looking at his appearance, the gratitude in my heart was dissipating little by little.
It was late today, so I didn't go to the sea to fish for ginseng, but made a bunk on the floor in the wooden house, and I was about to go to sleep.
He didn't care about me, first confiscated my mobile phone, the only means of communication with the outside world, turned it off, and then, sleeping on his own bed, remembered a slight snoring after a while.
I lay on the ground with my hands behind my head, and it was very cold here, and I was afraid that if I continued like this, I would easily catch the cold, and I looked like he was asleep, and if I ran away quietly, he would definitely not find out.
But people always have their own principles, if you save my life, I will return you a favor, and the two will not owe each other in the future.
Early the next morning, I was still asleep, but I was kicked awake by my uncle.
"Get up and get up, eat something, go to the sea to work, lazy to become such a virtuous person, it's really hopeless!"
A bowl of rice and two dishes have been placed on the table, and the simple fried vegetables exude a very strong aroma, a little medicinal feeling.
I rubbed my eyes and asked in surprise, "Uncle, where did you get the greens, what kind of variety is this, why have I never seen them?"
"Eat it, eat it, why is there so much nonsense!" The sloppy uncle crossed Erlang's legs, lying on the bed and picking his teeth, and I saw that there was still half a eaten roast chicken in the corner.
He eats meat, do I eat vegetable leaves?
I scolded in my heart, but it was not good to show it on my face, and asked, "Uncle, do you have any toothbrushes, do you have to brush your teeth before eating?"
Uncle Sloppy glanced at me obliquely and asked with a hippie smile, "Do you think I need to brush my teeth?"
I looked at him for 10,000 years without taking a bath, and I laughed in my heart and said, "I'm sorry, blame me for thinking too much!"
"Oh, by the way, here's some powder, which can also be used as toothpaste, so take it if you like!" The uncle turned around and uncovered a tattered curtain in the corner, which was a very old medicine box, and he took out a small cloth bag from it and threw it to me.
When I opened it, it was filled with a very fine white powder.
"What's this, it's not poisonous, is it?"
"You can't die, you just use it, twist and pinch like a girl, I really don't know how your father gave birth to you!" The uncle looked at me directly, with a smile on his face, and his attitude towards me was completely different when he said this.
This guy's identity is too mysterious, and it's not the same as a normal person, and there are too many strange things.
I put the white powder in front of my nose and smelled it, but when I spit on my teeth, there was a very cool feeling, like mint toothpaste.
Then, I rinsed my mouth, and I felt much better, and I took a big bite of food.
Not to mention, this sloppy uncle's cooking skills are good, a whole bowl of rice, both dishes have been eaten by me, after eating, I feel warm in my stomach, it should be the role of those two special green vegetables.
Outside, the sky will be bright, a red sun is just about to rise on the horizon of the sea, seagulls are flying on the blue sea, the sea breeze brings a fishy and pure fragrance, the sky is cloudless, and the scenery is surprisingly good.
If I hadn't spent the night in a shabby chalet, I would have felt like a resort hotel on the Aegean Sea, where everything was calm and peaceful.
"Ink wool, go down to work!" muttered the sloppy uncle, and kicked me from behind, ten meters high, he didn't care if I would get hurt or not, and kicked me directly into the sea.
I had limited swimming skills, choked on my stomach and slapped desperately in the sea, finally stabilizing my body, and turned my head to look at him viciously, only to find that the thing was gone.
I gathered my mind, put my swimming goggles and straw on, and I mustered up my strength and swam quickly towards the middle of the sea, the raft.
The waves crashed against my body, like a giant, blocking the way of my small body, and the bay was very windy from morning to night, and it was a headwind, setting off waves one meter high.
My psychological shadow about water has dissipated, but it is the first time to swim in such conditions, and it is false to say that I am not afraid, and I think that even a good swimmer will be afraid of being in such a treacherous field.
I use the simplest breaststroke, my hands and feet and paddling forward quickly, the raft in front of me seems not far away, but I can't get close for a long time, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, looking at the sea and swimming dead fish, this is the reason.
I don't know how long I swam, I choked on a lot of saliva, I rested many times in the middle, and finally came to the edge of the raft, and I climbed up panting, and I didn't have any strength after reaching it.
This raft is square, ten meters long and wide, with a circular hole with a diameter of three meters in the middle, and below it is a huge net bag, which reaches more than 30 meters underwater, and breeds sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
Within a radius of dozens of nautical miles, there is only this place to breed things, such a harsh environment is not suitable for the growth of seafood at all, this sloppy uncle is either brainless or lacking strings, and it is strange that he does not lose money in the breeding industry here.
After resting for about half an hour, I tied the net bag I had prepared in advance to my waist, put on leather gloves, and went down to the sea to touch the cucumbers.
Normally, diving underwater to catch things is a high-risk industry, and you generally have to wear underwater breathing apparatus and oxygen cylinders.
But the sloppy uncle's poor sour appearance obviously doesn't have these things.
When I came below, the visibility was okay, and I saw a fishing net with granular protrusions, scattered with sea urchins, surprisingly large, it seems that it has been cultivated for at least four or five years, and this thing is very valuable to sell on the market.
I have been in the water four times, I will be full of a bag of packs, after going ashore to weigh it, there should be more than forty pounds, this is the limit I can bear, looking at the distant shore, I only feel that the pressure is great, all training and the situation in front of me are pediatrics, this TM is clearly a fate.
I gritted my teeth and jumped into the water, not knowing how I managed to swim back.
After arriving at the shore, the sloppy uncle came out of nowhere, dragged me like a dead dog to the beach, untied the pocket on my waist, and gloated: "Yes, boy, you can transport more than 40 catties of goods at a time, 10 times is 400 catties, 100 times is 4,000 catties, and you have 99 times left to run out of goods!"
Ninety-nine times?
I looked up at the sky in despair, and said weakly: "Uncle, let that group of Japanese come and hack me to death, give me a good time!"
The sloppy uncle also knew that this work was very tiring, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Boy, do you remember how I taught those little Japanese yesterday? Do you want to learn my kung fu?"
I sat up, looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "Uncle, are you willing to teach me?"
"There's nothing you can't teach, I'm just afraid that your body is too weak and not the material for learning martial arts!" Uncle Sloppy pouted and said with a disdainful face.
I am too eager for strength, because there are too many enemies in the road ahead, and if I want to rescue my father and find Uncle Yue, I must fight for every possible opportunity.
I said, I'm not afraid of hardship, I just ask you to teach me and let me do anything.
The sloppy uncle pretended to think about it for a long time, and finally patted me on the shoulder and led me to the cabin.
"Lie on the bed, I'll give you some stimulation to let you recover your strength as soon as possible!"
