When I finished my meal and left the restaurant, there were far fewer people on the street, and the dim lights swayed on the walls, dancing up and down in the wind.

Not far away, there is a gorgeous building, surrounded by flower beds, planted with various flowers and plants, and there are two bright oil lamps at the door, which attract people on the street, and they can't help but want to go in and have a look.

"What's that?" Zheng Fei said curiously.

"A place where rich people hang out. Santiago smiled, seeming to salivate.

Zheng Fei guessed, suddenly heard the door creak open, and two people came out of it, a man and a woman, the man was full of spring breeze, and the woman was smiling and leaning on the door frame, wearing revealing clothes, waving goodbye and gently brushing her hair, which was very charming.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Fei smiled and said, "Her price is not low, right?"

"Ten silver coins a night, it is said that she is the daughter of some declining nobleman. Santiago stared straight at her.

"Oh, let's go, man, get some sleep, quit your job at the docks tomorrow, and get ready to go to sea. ”

Since they had just finished eating, the two did not run back, and moved along the dark path for more than three hours before returning to the dock and getting into the container pile.

Pete hadn't fallen asleep yet, when he was so alarmed, he rolled over and rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Fei, you have done what you told me, and tomorrow morning I will take the money to pick up the boat, thirty-six silver coins." ”

In the dark, Zheng Fei nodded, lay down on the ground, and soon snored loudly, he was tired, and so was Santiago.

Early in the morning, when the laborers began to get busy, they quit their jobs, and before leaving, Pete made a disdainful gesture to the high-spirited overseer, as if to say, I don't have to look at your face again!

Pete's uncle's house was by the sea, built on high ground, and the little dilapidated fishing boat ran aground on the beach, tied to a long fishing line, which used to be used to catch big marlin, and it was very strong.

"Luckily, the bottom of the boat didn't leak. Zheng Fei said during the inspection that he was quite satisfied with the small fishing boat several meters long.

"Well, the mast needs to be replaced. Uncle Pete grinned as he took his pipe.

"Do you have a harpoon, give me two. ”

"There are harpoons, but young man, you can't catch the big guy with this small fishing boat, and if the big guy makes it, maybe it will capsize. ”

"Thanks for the advice, but I don't catch big fish. ”

After paying the money, the craftsman was asked to replace it with a brand-new mast, and several people worked together to push the boat into the sea, bring some fishing and hunting equipment and dry food, and go out to sea.

The sky is clear and the sea is calm, which is perfect for fishing and hunting.

"Fly, what should we do next?" Pete looked around at the vast expanse of the sea, sniffing his nose, dazed.

"Follow the coast to the place where the current is most rapid. ”

Abalone live in reef areas with strong currents and abundant seaweed, and they prefer to live on coastal islands or rock protrusions from the coast.

Seriously, Zheng Fei is very worried now, because the production of abalone in the Mediterranean is very small, so he can only try his luck.

There were a few small white dots on the sea in the distance, which were the white sails of other fishing boats, and those boats were so big that if they were, Zheng Fei would even dare to cross the Atlantic Ocean and explore the New World of America.

As a traverser, he knows that his greatest advantage is that he knows the complete version of the world map, unlike other navigators who are aimless, and who are not able to see the will of heaven without a match.

The only thing he needed now was money, money to buy a boat, and if he was lucky, he could make about the same amount on this trip, and he believed that the delicious abalone would surely conquer the appetite of the Italians.

Two hours later, still with no place to dive in the rapids, he lay in the cabin, his hat over his face to protect himself from the sun, and his eyes narrowed.

Santiago is the most energetic, because there is a beautiful woman who seduces him, and makes him want to make money quickly, and falls on the dancer Vichy.

As for Pete, he is an old fritter among the laborers, he can make money if he can, and if he can't make it, he just mixes it up, anyway, he doesn't know what to do when he has money, and at most he can drink more upscale.

"Man, what do you want a harpoon for?" said a bored Santiago, fiddling with the rusty harpoon, God knows if it would still be able to penetrate the belly of the big marlin.

"What do you think?" Zheng Fei said.

"Huh, shark-proof?"

"No, it's not for spearfishing, but we'll find out when we get there. Zheng Fei sold a pass and continued to rest.

After a few seconds, I suddenly heard Santiago shout, "Look, isn't it there?!"

Zheng Fei immediately turned over and got up, only to see a rocky reef a hundred meters away, the sea water was flowing fast, and dense seaweed was growing.

"Adjust the direction and paddle through!"

This kind of body work is naturally done by strong people, and Santiago's thick arms clenched the oars and moved quickly, and there was infinite excitement in his blue pupils.

Arrival!

Zheng Fei had already tied the fishing rope to the harpoon, slammed it into the crack of the rocky reef, fixed it tightly, and then tied the other end of the fishing rope around his waist and wrapped it around many ways.

"Fly, what are you going to do?" Pete wondered.

"Our prey lives under a dozen meters of water, and I have to dive down. Zheng Fei took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "There may be dangerous creatures such as sea snakes under the water, remember to drag me up every two minutes, my life is in your hands!"

"Don't worry, buddy!" Santiago patted his chest.

Zheng Fei smiled, sat on the side of the boat and leaned back, skillfully entering the sea, the difference is that in the past, there was a diving suit oxygen tank, but now it completely depends on physical ability.

The colorful schools of fish passing by gave him a familiar intimacy, but he didn't have time to admire the marine world, diving vigorously, trying to search every rock crevice with his eyes wide open.
