Before dawn the next day, Fang's mother got up and made breakfast.

Fang Jing finished eating, put down the bowl and walked out.

"While it's cool in the morning, I'll find someone to borrow a boat and go out to sea to see if I can catch a few fish."

There is also a 20-meter trawler in the village, with a small cabin and small tonnage, less oil, and can only run near the coast, but it is much better than the Fang's old-fashioned fishing boat.

"Brother, I'm with you." Fang Xiaole chased his brother out.

"I went out fishing, what are you going to do with me? Give me a shout of cheers? Fang Jing gave him a blank look.

"Brother, I can help you too!" Fang Xiaole said unhappily.

"Help me? Can you carry a fishing net? Fang Jing touched his head with a smile and said, "I'll go out for a while in the morning and come back at noon, it's hot outside, so you can stay at home and review your homework." ”

"That won't leave you alone."

Since Fang's father had an accident, the family has been very careful about going to sea, and Fang's mother has even stopped talking, and finally held back what she wanted to say.

What if you don't go to sea? There is no income in the family, Xiaole has to go to school, Fang's father has to be treated, and Fang Jing's salary alone, as well as the little money she earns, is not enough to maintain the family's expenses.

Cen Jiu, who has always been an invisible person at home, picked up the fishing net on the ground and said, "I can carry it, I'll go." ”

Fang Jing frowned: "The injuries on your body are not healed yet, take care of the injuries first." ”

What a mess is an injury!

Cen Jiu swept around the yard with the fishing website, and saw a dilapidated small wooden boat that could only be used as firewood piled up in the corner of the wall, grabbed it on the string of the boat, and carried the wooden boat with a force, easily carried it, walked in front of Fang Jing, and looked at him expressionlessly: "I can carry it." ”

Fang Xiaole's eyes widened in surprise, her eyes flashed with admiration, even Fang's mother forgot to worry for the time being, looking at Cen Jiu's eyes full of surprise, after reacting, he hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiao Jiu, put it down quickly." Don't look at this ship in tatters, but it's sinking, hurry up and put it down, don't hit people in a while. ”

Cen Jiu has been silent since he arrived at Fang's house, and many times Fang's mother doesn't even feel that there is another person in the family, and she feels thin, but she didn't expect to have a good strength.

Cen Jiu was carrying a fishing net in one hand and a small fishing boat on one shoulder, the words of the other party's mother were deaf, poked in the yard like a wooden stake, and he didn't speak, so he looked at Fang Jing so straight.

"Have you ever been to sea?" Fang Jing asked.

Cen Jiu was silent, thinking about whether he didn't know if when he went to assassinate King Li before, under the blessing boat of King Li, a day and a night in the water counted?

"That's not going to work." Fang Jing shook his head in disagreement.

Going to sea is not better than taking a boat to play, nor is it better than doing anything on land, whether you have strength is not the most important, the key is whether you can adapt to life on the sea.

The sea is windy and rough, and the fishing boats in the village are very simple, and a wave can directly turn people into the ceiling, and they can't come back to their senses for a long time. This is still good, but if you get seasick, you will suffer even more, and no amount of strength will be able to exert it. The first time an inexperienced person goes to sea with him, it is great if he doesn't cause trouble, and he can't count on help at all.

Fang Jing still wanted to run a little farther today to see if he could catch something in the sea, and he didn't want to bring the newcomer to ask for trouble.

"Yes, going to sea is not fun at all, it's very hard." Fang's mother thought that Cen Jiu was curious, and persuaded him vigorously, "Jingjing grew up by the sea since he was a child, it's good to get used to it, you haven't been to the sea, it feels really uncomfortable." Listen to Auntie, you will rest at home for the past two days, let Xiaole take you around, swim at the beach when it is hot, and then go to help Jingjing when you get used to it. ”

Cen Jiu was still silent, lowered his head and looked at Fang Jing without speaking, his eyes were full of stubbornness.

Fang Jing didn't want to argue with him in front of Fang's mother and Fang Xiaole, the time was getting later and later, and it would get hotter and hotter.

He said a little irritably: "You can go if you want to, but I'll say it first, you have to listen to me when you go to sea, otherwise you can stay at home and accompany Xiaole." ”

Cen Jiu put the broken fishing boat back under the wall, and went out with Fang Jing with the fishing net.

They came to the seaside pier, where several fishing boats were moored.

Among them was a relatively large trawler, on which a middle-aged man was squatting on a mooring.

Fang Jing jumped on the boat and said to the man, "Uncle Gen, has anyone borrowed a boat today?" ”

Uncle Gen stood up and saw that it was Fang Jing with a sudden expression of realization on his face: "It's Ah Jing who is back, your mother told me two days ago that you were coming back, when will you get home?" ”

When he stood up, although he tried his best to hide it, he could still see that his left leg was a little weak.

Uncle Gen was also one of the people who followed Fang's father to the sea back then, but when the accident happened, Uncle Gen's son was sick, and he accompanied the child in the hospital and did not get on the boat, so he missed the disaster.

But I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to answer the sentence, and if it's a disaster that can't be avoided, although Uncle Gen escaped the disaster, but not long after, he had a car accident, injured his leg, and couldn't go to sea again.

The family's boat was reluctant to sell, and it was often rented to others to drive, which was regarded as a thought.

Fang Jing took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one and handed it to Uncle Gen: "I came back the day before yesterday and went out for a swim." ”

Uncle Gen also took it unceremoniously, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "This smoke is good, it smells very good." ”

Fang Jing immediately handed the whole pack of cigarettes in his hand to Uncle Gen and said, "If Uncle Gen likes it, I still have a few packs, and I will let Xiaole send them to you later." ”

Uncle Gen waved his hand: "No, no, this cigarette is quite expensive, it costs dozens of yuan a pack!" ”

Because of Fang Xiaole's little housekeeper, Fang Jing actually rarely smokes, more often than not, he just puts the cigarette in his mouth and is addicted, he actually doesn't pay much attention to cigarettes or anything, this cigarette was stuffed to him by the tutor last time he went out to eat with the tutor.

Uncle Gen waved his hand: "Just have a pack." Are you going to sea today? ”

"yes, it's okay to be idle, I want to go out and have a good time."

Uncle Gen nodded, glanced at Cen Jiu, felt a little blind, and asked, "Is this your friend?" ”

"Well, it's okay to come back and play with me for two days."

"The young man has a good eye, although our fishing village is a little poor, but poverty also has the benefits of being poor, there are fewer people, less pollution, and it is comfortable to live." Uncle Gen nodded, and the other party respectfully said, "There are few people renting the boat now, and I found someone to overhaul the ship a few days ago, so you can drive it for a few more days." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Gen, the museum is renovated, I took a month off, and I'm worried that I don't know how to spend this month!"

Fang Jing and Uncle Gen chatted a few more words, then untied the cable and drove the fishing boat out to sea.

I don't know if it's lucky, I didn't encounter any big winds and waves along the way, and Cen Jiu's watch was much better than he imagined, there was no seasickness, and there was no other discomfort.

"You're in good shape." Fang Jing patted Cen Jiu's shoulder, remembering that when he first went to sea, he was a wolf.

Cen Jiu grabbed Fang Jing's wrist with his backhand, and his strength was so great that he almost made Fang Jing call out.

"Don't touch me if it's okay!"

Fang Jing rubbed his wrist with a stupid expression: "Don't worry, even if you give me money next time, I won't touch you casually." ”

Because of this change, the rest of the voyage seemed a bit dull.

Fang Jing drove the boat intently, driving the trawl all the way, but only a few small fish and shrimp were sparsely netted, which were too small for Fang Jing to look down on, so he only picked up two slightly larger ones for lunch, and threw the others back into the sea.

Fang Jing squatted on the deck to sort out the fishing nets, Cen Jiu stood aside and wanted to help, but because he was not skilled in business, he was a little at a loss.

At noon, Fang Jing cleaned up the two, stewed a pot of soup, and planned to have lunch with Fang's mother's face in the morning.

Fang Jing's craftsmanship is not very good, that is, to the point of cooking things, the pastry tastes good when it is eaten hot in the morning, but it is fishy and dry when it is cold at noon, Fang Jing only drank a little fish soup, but Cen Jiu did not pick his mouth at all, and ate the rest of the pastry along with the fish soup.

Fang Jing glanced at his flat lower abdomen, he was really curious where he ended up eating so many things, if it weren't for Cen Jiu's attitude just now, he really wanted to touch it.

But Cen Jiu was obviously very reluctant for others to touch his body, so Fang Jing had to hold back, but his eyes kept aiming at Cen Jiu's stomach.

In the afternoon, Fang Jing dragged two more nets, still no gain, the last time he cast the net, Fang Jing thought to himself, if he can't find anything on the net, he is ready to call it a day and go back, otherwise the oil will not be enough.

Unexpectedly, when the net was finally closed, the trawl was very heavy, □□and Fang Jing was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally harvested, but after the boat traveled a certain distance, the fishing net suddenly became lighter, and it felt as if it had caught something, and finally it was broken free.

Fang Jing was curious, stopped the boat in place, and flowed down in the direction just now.

Fang Jing cautiously dived down for a distance of nearly □□ meters before summoning the water bubble and quickly going downstream.

This is the offshore sea, the average depth of the sea water is about 50 meters, if there is no protection, in the process of diving, the sea pressure increases, and you will feel very uncomfortable going down 10 meters.

It stands to reason that the further down he goes, the dimmer the light of the sea becomes, but Fang Jing found that since he melted that bead and was able to summon water bubbles in the palm of his hand, his eyesight had also improved a lot, and he could see clearly dozens of meters underwater.

Transparent jellyfish swim in the warm waters, small pike crabs go on a rampage, and occasionally a few fish swim merrily by.

Fang Jing carefully avoided those poisonous and dangerous jellyfish, came to the place where the trawl was hooked, and saw that there was an obvious bulge under the water, and the soft sand covered it, forming a natural protective film, like a small dirt slope, and the other end of the small dirt slope faintly revealed a black piece of something that looked like charcoal.

He peeled off the dirt that covered it, and saw a piece of black wood, the wood grain on it was extremely clear, and the cross-cut surface was very smooth, faintly like the ebony that the instructor said.

Fang Jing's heart jumped, it couldn't be really ebony.
