Chapter 272: Boiling Soup
After settling the kingfish, Uncle Luo ran to the cabin where the kingfish and I were, and his face was embarrassed: "Girl, you see that the time is about to pass, and it will be the end of the day." Isn't it time for us to get ready to go? ”
"It's almost time?" My heart tightened, and I didn't think it had been long.
I went to the bow of the boat to see the missing moment, and sure enough, it was almost over. The hour is followed by the hour, and as soon as the hour passes, the sun rises in the hour...... At that time, the top of the wall of fog will re-swell and close, and lightning will fall, and no one will be able to get out.
"Uncle Luo, it will only take half an hour to pass through the fog wall at the earliest, let's wait." I stared at the missing moment, my arms crossed over my arms.
Uncle Luo twisted his beard with a bitter expression: "Girl, even if you have to wait, you have to tell everyone to prepare." The people inside are to be evacuated, and the deck is to be cleaned. So as not to go out and encounter other merchant ships. Almost all of the caravans at sea are pirates, and they have to be guarded against like wolves. ”
"I know, I'll just clean up and wait for them." I turned around, and the deck was covered in blood, and there were snorts in pain.
Uncle Luo was still not at ease, and persuaded: "Girl, everyone has been busy for so long, and they are almost exhausted. It is necessary to act early, and it will not be possible to break through the fog wall in half an hour after exhaustion. ”
I naturally know this, but Gao is still in the fish nest when he leaves them!
"Uncle Luo, let's do it. You go to the kitchen and tell him to start cooking quickly, and give it to the boatman who stepped on the pulp first, and only when he is full will he have the strength. I'll deal with the rest as soon as possible. "I glanced at the missing moment again, and it was the beginning of the hour.
Uncle Luo let go of his beard and walked towards the cabin with a solemn expression and a frowning gray brow.
"Everyone!" I clapped my hands, "The one who stepped on the slurry will go back to the bottom of the boat to rest first, and leave the rest to the others." Also, these chirping smelts are also carried into the cabin next to the freezer. The deck is going to be cleaned! ”
As soon as the boatmen heard that they were going to start cleaning up, they all knew that this meant going home. Everyone roared energetically, and became more and more active.
Another cross-smelt was sent over, but this time only Shi Pingtian was alone.
"How about the inside please? The time is almost up. I asked urgently while the boatman was tying the fish.
Shi Pingtian's face was white, and his spirit was not very good: "Two more people were injured, and only four horizontal fish remained, but Gao Gongzi said that it should be the kingfish's 'guard', and his skills are far from being comparable to the previous fish." They are extremely vigilant and flexible, and the kingfish is completely furious when it is taken away. It's hard to catch. ”
After listening to Shi Pingtian's words, I can already imagine what kind of scene it is in now.
"Miss Lu, since the time is almost up, then I'll tell Gongzi Gao that we retreat?" Shi Pingtian asked tentatively. In fact, his heart wished to get out of the cave where beasts screamed and screamed everywhere.
In addition, Jia Susu and Night Cat were both injured, and everyone was busy resisting the counterattack of the crossfish, and there was no time to send them out.
Gao Gongzi could only protect them while resisting the attack of the Henggong fish. He was quick with his hands and feet, so he rowed Jia Susu's boat to rush out the carcass of the crossfish. Unlike when I first went in, I crushed everything, and those stocks were too difficult to deal with!
"Wait." I leaned over the railing and leaned out to look at him.
I don't know what to say next. But I knew in my mind what the consequences would be of retreating at this time - the remaining smelts were the most powerful smelts.
They will do anything to get revenge, and even if the target is not us (they may not find us), they will go after ordinary people who live on the shore.
When the time comes, who will be responsible for the death of those people? The purpose of coming here to encircle and suppress the male fish is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, not to leave a disaster to harm others. A crossfish without a kingfish is like a swarm without a queen bee.
They go crazy and attack anyone they can.
"Miss Lu, what countermeasures do you have?" Shi Pingtian looked at me anxiously, his breathing was also very short, and the hand holding the oar also stretched out several obvious green tendons. His heart must be burning at the moment.
Countermeasure...... Countermeasure...... I kept repeating it in my head.
Suddenly, the afterglow of his eyes skimmed to the open cloth bag on Shi Pingtian's waist, and his eyes lit up. That's the cloth bag used to hold the dried plums! "I have a way, you wait a while!" I shouted at him, turned and ran to the kitchen.
"Hurry up, stop cooking the rice first, and the water in the pot will be used to cook the dried plums!" As I spoke, I hurried to the corner full of dry goods and rummaged through them.
Uncle Luo and the cook looked at me inexplicably, but they still opened the lid of the pot and moved the rice that had been washed and ready to be put on the side. "Girl, what are you doing all of a sudden?" Uncle Luo asked.
"Cook black plum soup and use the most troublesome way to deal with the crossfish!" I carried half a sack of dried black plums and poured them all into the pot.
Picked up the spoon and stirred it a few times, and immediately, a strong sour smell came to my nose. Since you can't hit the black plum dry, then use the soup to splash, no matter how flexible those horizontal fish are, they will always be splashed by the soup.
Uncle Luo and the cook glanced at each other, and turned their heads as if they didn't understand: "We're here to help too." ”
The water in the pot is hot water for boiling rice, but after drinking the bowl of check, the whole pot of black plum soup is cooked. The cook and Uncle Luo brought wooden barrels, and I scooped the black plum soup into the barrels: "Send these to Shi Pingtian's ship, and he will send them to the cave." ”
"Okay!" Uncle Luo rolled up his sleeves and carried a bucket in one hand. The cook did the same, and the two of them took away all the big pot of black plum soup.
I threw down the spoon and ran out, Shi Pingtian was looking at the black plum soup in a daze. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Miss Lu is really ingenious, those black plum dried can't beat those 'fish essences' at all, now there is black plum soup, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to splash them!" ”
"Time is pressing, let's go. Remember to tell Gao Gongzi to solve it quickly! "I climbed the railing.
"Understood!" Shi Pingtian set up the four wooden barrels, held the oars and rowed back to the cave.
Then, there was another scorching time that was difficult. I leaned against the railing and stared at the missing carving, not even knowing that the deck had been washed clean. Uncle Luo has returned to the rudder, ready to set off at any time.
But since Shi Pingtian sent the black plum soup in the fish nest, almost half an hour has passed and there has been no movement.
Not only did he not see the corpse of the Henggong fish come out, but even the two injured people that Shi Pingtian said were not sent out. I turned to stare at the swarthy hole, could something be going on inside?
"Girl, you can't wait any longer!" Uncle Luo began to persuade me, "Didn't that Gao Gongzi say that if he can't come back, we can take the first step......"
