Chapter 3 Spark Bay

The sea on the other side of the mountain is called "Full Moon Beach". Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.infor?a?? nw?en?w?w?w?.?? It was a relatively quiet coast, and even on a windy day, the waves weren't enough to hurt people's bones.

Most of the "sea bumpers" can go on a rampage in such a sea, such as walking on flat ground, but because of this, the "goods" there cannot be stored, and no one can expect a "bumper harvest" wherever they go.

The "Spark Bay" here is different, it is the real sea.

Here, the wind and waves are strong, and the steep shore that the breaking waves hit day and night is like a knife cutting through an axe, and it is full of yellow and clear flint. This hard stone sparks when struck with sparks, which is why this place got its name.

In addition, the most important point is that the sea here is not just a blue surface. If you look closely, most people with good eyesight and careful will find that there are a few bands of slightly different colors in those flashing ripples, and that is the sea flow here.

It is precisely because of this magnificent barrier that it separates the impetuous and noisy world. It has become a field where only the "old swordfish" can gain something, excluding most of the ordinary people.

This day was May 20, 1977, the third day of the fourth lunar month, the best day of the live flood.

As evening approached, the "old saury" entered the water almost at the limit of the "dry tide" (in the jargon, referring to the low tide), and he waited calmly beside the "sea current", and in the process, all the subtle movements in the ocean could not escape his observation.

Finally, just as the setting sun was dyeing the sky golden, he caught the long-lost and familiar signal. Then he took a long breath with excitement and threw himself to the bottom of the sea without hesitation.

The bottom of the sea is very different at this time, not only has the water level dropped by at least six or seven meters, but also the turbulence of the mountains and seas under the normal state of the sea current, and the coldness that rejects people for thousands of miles has also disappeared completely.

And those sea cucumbers, abalones, and scallops that are clustered around the reef and are guarded by the sea currents on weekdays, are completely exposed without any shelter, and they are all like naked women, lying there honestly, picking as they like.

This lure of abundant products makes the "old saury" secretly feel satisfied. Like those young juniors who have no hair on their mouths and only love to make fun of him, I am afraid that they would not even dream that the treasure under the sea stream can actually be easily obtained at a special moment of the day.

Those boys who don't know the height of the sky still dare to call themselves "sea bumpers"? Hmph, it's still a long way off!

This is the kind of fun that only he can enjoy! This is the hospitality that the Dragon King only entertains old friends!

Soon to the bottom of the sea, the water temperature became extremely biting.

The "old saury" did not hesitate at all, and was impatient to give priority to harvesting the fat sea cucumbers that crowded the cracks of the reef. It is not difficult for him to make this choice, because sea cucumber is the easiest thing to get hold of, and the economic value is also the greatest.

He grabbed his pocket with his left hand and pulled the fat sea cucumbers with his right hand. While stuffing it into his pocket, he secretly counted.

"One, two, three, four......"

The first breath of the "sea bumper" into the water is the longest, and the "old saury" used to be in its prime, and the first Meng could get 20 sea cucumbers. This record, among the "sea bumpers" he knows today, has not yet been able to achieve it.

But alas, even he can't do it now. No, as soon as he reached the fifth number, his chest had already begun to tighten, and his eyes were bulging out at the same time, and by the tenth whole number, he even felt that his whole body was about to burst. In short, it's worse than death.

So at this time, he couldn't care about anything, but ran crazy to the water. When he came out of the water, he inhaled like crazy, and it was not until he had breathed enough that he realized more clearly that he was old and useless, and could only hold on to such a little time underwater.

But even a moment of sentimentality is a luxury for him at this time, because the Dragon Lord has not been entertained for a long time. Therefore, he has just recovered from this, and he must immediately put the harvest in the "net drifter", and then turn around and return to the bottom of the sea, striving to obtain more security for the whole family's life in a limited time.

And just like that, he plunged down again. The high yellow mountain wall of the setting sun shook in his water mirror and disappeared into the dark green. For some time afterward, he repeated the action desperately and quickly. Drill out, plunge in, gasp, hold your breath. Keep diving, and keep surfacing.

He worked hard to catch every sea cucumber! He hoped to catch at least 100 sea cucumbers!

Because his wife was still waiting for money to buy medicine to cure his illness, his daughter who was far away also had to rely on the money from selling seafood to suffer less.

And as a man, it is a lifelong responsibility to feed his wife and children and make them worry about food and clothing!

It's a pity that after about seven or eight mengzi, a sudden situation appeared. Suddenly, the "old knifefish" felt the same pain as a split in the head, and the eyes also hurt, accompanied by severe nausea.

He immediately realized that this was a superficial symptom of "diving sickness", which was an occupational disease caused by physical excess.

He also knew very well that once this disease broke out, it would be difficult to breathe and dizzy after a while, so he naturally had no strength to continue to explore the bottom of the sea and obtain the gifts of the sea.

For all the "sea bumpers", there is nothing more disappointing than seeing the "prey" and being helpless. And for "Old Knife Fish", he is now even more than scratching his heart, scratching his lungs, and pulling out his liver. And he was also immediately aware of a more serious problem, and he himself was in a considerable danger.

Because he went to sea alone, based on his physical condition after the attack of "diving sickness", not to mention that if he did not get timely rest, it would lead to serious consequences such as paralysis and even death. Even after a while, when the sea current flows again, he may not be able to compete with it, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be washed into the deep sea. So now, even if he is no longer reconciled, he must stop, and the first priority is to swim back to shore first.

In a burst of uncontrollable chagrin, the hopes of the "old knife fish" were all in vain. But he was still very decisive, and as soon as he decided, he grabbed his "net drifter" and began to swim towards the shore.

It should be said that if he is in normal health, even if he is exhausted after catching "goods" in the water, it is quite pleasant to swim from the water to the shore. For he would feel the golden shores, the flints that stood tall and dodge, were laughing at him.

But in the current state, no matter how much energy he still has left, he will also feel that his body is not obedient, loses his vitality, and becomes extremely numb. And I don't know if it's because of the "diving sickness", or if the body can't withstand the erosion of the cold temperature under the water, he even convulsed involuntarily.

Therefore, the "net drifter" loaded with the harvest was extremely heavy, even if he tried his best to paddle his body and kick and turn his legs, but it was like a person who could not swim in the water, and after ten minutes, the distance he swam out was really quite pitiful.

At this time, he even felt that the water, the shore, the sea cucumber and the "net drifter" were all melted into an ambiguous mess, and he was dizzy and could hardly see anything clearly. He immediately realized that he had to make another painful choice now. That is, to throw away today's gains, perhaps in order to save life.

But just when he wanted to let go of the "net drifter", his wife's coughing and his daughter's tearful letter filled his heart with an emotion that was really difficult to let go, so that he couldn't let go of his hand at all. This is the harvest he bought with his life, and it is the hope of the whole family, and it is too difficult to give up categorically.

As a result, he hesitated and delayed for a few minutes, and by the time he figured it out again, it seemed too late.

The sea seemed to shake a little, making it flow in a turbulent motion. In other words, the two bags of cigarettes that Hailiuzi stopped breathing have completely passed. Suddenly, in the dark green waves, countless hands stretched out, dragging the whole person of the "old knifefish" into the stream.

At this time, even if he completely let go of his hand, his body always swayed horizontally. No matter how hard he swam forward, he was always pulled diagonally by this brute force. Soon he was powerless to resist and was pulled to the bottom of the sea by the sea.

This rush made him lose his way, and when he desperately surfaced again, he had already been swept away, and he couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

However, even if the other person was still awake, there was no time for him to distinguish it, and the tide was indeed rising, and the water in the old ocean was overwhelming, as if to swallow him and the "net drifter" floating on the water. At this moment, he felt extremely clearly that the Grim Reaper had grabbed his neck.

The Dragon Lord is going to stay as a guest, and he is reluctant to be an old friend. But what about his wife and his daughter?

To say that he has taken too many things from the sea in this life, it is also appropriate to return his life. But if he dies now, all the livelihood of his family will be cut off.

What do they rely on to survive......

Just when all the sparks of hope of "Old Knife Fish" were gradually extinguished, he had given up, and he couldn't help thinking so crankily in his mind. Under the high rock wall of "Starfire Bay", a magical spark suddenly flashed.

No, it's not Mars! It's a bonfire burning on the shore!

And at the same time, under the gradually lonely afterglow of the sky, two vigorous black shadows in the sea out of thin air, like arrows, broke through the rolling waves, and swam towards the "old swordfish" extremely quickly.

At the same time, a loud shout of "old man, hold on!" broke through the sea water and re-lit the expectations of "old saury" for "life".

Needless to say, someone came to his rescue!

So the "old saury" began to fight against the waves again, trying to float on the surface of the water and not sink.

He knew that except for those boys from the capital who were looking for the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon", it would not be anyone else.

For the past three days, they have followed him here, and they have been pestering him. And he never gave them a good look, but he never thought that now they would come to save him!

What the hell are you?

God, how did you arrange that?

Perhaps "Spark Bay" is a place that can bring hope to people......

Just when "Old Knife Fish" thought of this, the big hand that had always been strong had already grabbed him. And another black shadow, without stopping, swam sideways, and pounced on the "net drifter" loaded with sea cucumbers that had been carried away by the waves.

"Don't ......! There's a sea stream there!"

"Old Knife Fish" was anxious to stop him, he couldn't let the people who saved him take this risk again, they were strangers, and I was afraid they couldn't fight against the power of the tide. It's a pity that his mouth was suddenly blocked by a mouthful of salty seawater.

But what is amazing is that after a while, the man has successfully dragged the "net drifter" back again. It looks like a gunboat, and it uses its body to draw a long wave, which is enough to prove that its physical strength is far beyond ordinary people. No worse than when he was in his prime.

And in the midst of his uncontrollable tears, the three of them finally gathered together and swam together towards the half-dark shore...... (To be continued.) )
