Just when Wang Huan's heart was in turmoil.

Beside.

Lu Mingjun shouted in surprise: "It's coming!" The fishing boat heard our shouts. ”

Sure enough, about half a minute after the whistle blew, the fishing boat in the distance suddenly turned in a different direction and rowed towards them.

Over time.

The ship approached.

Only then did the two of them see clearly that it was only a small fishing boat, and the old man was emaciated and haggard, and his face had been blown dark red by the sea breeze. The old man must have just finished fishing, and there was a huge marlin on his boat, and the marlin's long, pointed beak stood out in the sunlight. At this moment, the old man was a little embarrassed, there were a lot of blood marks all over his body, and even the fishing boat was somewhat damaged.

It can be seen that he has spent a lot of effort to catch this marlin.

After all, salmon is known as one of the top 10 most dangerous fish in the world, and its long snout can even pierce through the thick iron coat of a fishing boat, making it easy to poke a person through the sea.

What especially shocked Wang Huan and Lu Mingjun was that there was almost one skeleton left in the whole body of this big marlin at the moment, and there was basically not much meat. Even so, the old man carefully placed it in the middle of the ship, as if guarding his treasure.

Approaching a distance of about a hundred meters from them, the old man stood up, a trace of regret and determination flashing in his eyes. Then with great difficulty, the marlin from the boat was thrown back into the sea.

The smell of blood dissipated.

Although it was just a skeleton, it still made the sharks besieging Wang Huan and them go crazy.

The school of sharks turned their heads in an instant and rushed to the carcass of the salmon.

Taking advantage of this time, the old man hurriedly drove the boat to Wang Huan and Lu Mingjun's side.

"Come on!"

Luckily, the old man spoke English.

Wang Huan and Lu Mingjun are both masters, and they didn't let the old man drag them at all, but turned over left and right and climbed up. The small fishing boat had little effect except for a slight shaking.

"Thank you. ”

"Thank you. ”

The two escaped death, and their feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

The old man's weathered face showed a relieved expression: "I saw your plane crash, and I searched for a long time to find you." ”

Just one sentence.

It proves that this is a kind and caring old fisherman.

……

……

Wang Huan, who was lying in the fishing boat, was so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers. When the danger was lifted, the whole body was sore, and the feeling of exhaustion was overwhelming.

He had been in the water for more than an hour just now, and he had exhausted all his energy.

It's just that it's hard to support it by willpower.

Lu Mingjun deserved to be the king of soldiers, but after resting for a while, he helped the old man steer the boat and quickly leave this dangerous place.

As he steered the boat, he talked to the old man.

"Old man, do you usually fish here?"

"Well, there's a lot of fish here. ”

"How many years have you been a fisherman?"

"I've been a fisherman all my life. ”

"You're in luck, I saw you catch a salmon just now. This is one of the most dangerous fish species to catch. ”

"Hey," a rare smile appeared on the old man's haggard and emaciated face, "It's good luck." Because I haven't caught a fish in a long time. However, it was a bit of a pity that I encountered a school of sharks while fishing, and in the end I only got a fish skeleton. It's like you just saw, oh~~~"

As he spoke, the old man picked up a huge fish bone from the fishing boat, which was a sign that he had once caught salmon.

There was a pride on his face.

Of all fishermen, being able to catch salmon single-handedly is respected by others.

Though.

It's just a fish bone.

But the old man was still extremely satisfied.

In this way, the old man's story was gradually learned by Wang Huan.

The old man's name was Furley, and his luck was not as good as they had guessed, but it was bad, even terrible. He hadn't caught a fish in this Gulf Stream for a long time, and the other fishermen had almost always returned with a full load, but the old man couldn't catch even half a fish every time he went out to sea. This time, he went far out to sea and caught a salmon, but because the fish was too big, it dragged for a long time at sea, and was attacked by a shark on the way back, and when he returned, only a skeleton remained......

Wang Huan listened to the old man's narration.

The shock in my heart became stronger and stronger.

This scene!

How familiar!

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the slightest strength to collapse at this moment, I'm afraid he would have jumped up and exclaimed.

"I see. ”

"I finally knew. ”

"Punishment? hahaha! Punishment of bullshit! I'm afraid that the punishment of the system is a disguise, and this time it is just using the gimmick of punishment to get me the best and most perfect material! In the past, the system has always wanted me to speed up my footwork in literature, but I have been delayed every time. Now my experience and experience is that the system is actively paving the way for me! The old man, the sea, the fishing boat, the salmon, the Gulf of Mexico...... It's all such a coincidence!"

"The system has done its part, if I don't seize this opportunity to complete the task of the great writer, then I'm sorry for it!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Huan's heart.

A huge surprise welled up in my heart.

Because this time, the system paved the way for him: the road to the highest temple of literature, the Nobel Prize podium!

……

After Wang Huan said that the "Nobel Prize" is not difficult in the classroom of Chinese children in France, everyone in the world has been paying attention to him, wanting to see what kind of literary works Wang Huan can write to impact the Nobel Prize in Literature.

It's just that a few months have passed, and Wang Huan still hasn't moved.

It's not that Wang Huan can't write, it's that there are too many literary works in the system that can make him choose, which dazzles him.

At the beginning, Wang Huan planned to use two identities to attack the Nobel Prize.

The first identity: his own name, and Wang Huan has already thought about this work, which is "The Siege".

The second identity: Miki, an identity hidden in the shadows.

However, what works Miki will use to compete for the Nobel Prize, he has never thought about it. This is also the main reason why Wang Huan has not published literary works for a long time.

Why is Wang Huan so embarrassed?

Because his works published abroad must meet the following requirements:

There is no strong foreign country, historical style.

It can't have elements of China.

The story should be easy to understand and have a huge impact in a short period of time.

I have a part of my own experience.

Because the works competing for the Nobel Prize are not as casual as when he wrote "Harry Potter". These works will be admired and studied by people all over the world, and will be carefully studied by the Nobel Prize judges. If Wang Huan casually takes a foreign work out, I am afraid that it will be easy for others to question it.

Because of this, Wang Huan has never been sure which work to publish to "Miki".

He even searched through all the works and writers in the parallel world in the system that had won the Nobel Prize, but he couldn't make up his mind.

And now.

Wang Huan finally had an idea.

The name of a character appeared in front of his eyes, and this name was: Hemingway!

This parallel world, hailed by countless people as the greatest writer, once wrote a work.

The title of the work is:

"The Old Man and the Sea"!
