'Poof! ’

"Your Highness has fallen into the water......" turned around, His Highness, who was still standing on the deck and watching the fish, disappeared, and when he heard the exclamations of others, Zheng Yong's face instantly turned pale, his hands and feet were weak, and he felt that his mind was blank......

Zhao Hao had long wanted to go to the beach to have fun, and said that he had been wandering on the beach for almost a year, and his feet had never been wet, let alone playing in the water. After inspecting Huitong City, Zheng Yong came to ask for leave and wanted to go home to have a look. It was a trick played by the saint to pass through the door three times and not enter, and of course he immediately approved it, and he also went with him under the banner of showing concern for his subordinates. Ying Jieyan thought that this was the territory of the Tan clan, and after the Zheng father and son entered the mansion, they did their best, and it was reasonable to go to the door of the house to take a look, so they did not stop it. But he was not at ease, so he went with a team of people.

After a group of people came to the gathering place of the Tan people, Zhao Yu found that the Tan people did not settle on land, but the real people on the boat. Hainan Island is blessed with unique fishery resources, especially in the offshore estuary, which naturally forms an ecosystem rich in fishery resources, like a natural fish farm, and there are often natural harbors here, which can escape the invasion of storms.

The Tan people who make a living by "cultivating the sea" have lived on the sea for a long time, and the boat is their labor tool to make a living, and it is also a place for their family to live. Of course, they did not have the same good conditions as their own, most of them were small boats with hundreds of stones, with canopies or sail racks to shelter from the sun and wind and rain, and the middle of the boat was the living room where the family lived and sleeped, and the stern of the boat had a rocking oar for hitting the water and rowing, and the cabin was used to collect net fishing tools and fish.

Of course, there are also larger boats, Zheng Yong's family is considered to be the upper household among the Tan people, not only engaged in fishing, but also took the clan to do some side jobs to carry goods, the family has two 500 stone 'big boats', in the fish flood season can erect a mast and hang sails to chase the fish out of the sea to operate, and can also transfer materials for business travel. Zhao Hao looked at the difference between their ships and the sand boats, the fortune boats, and the Guangzhou boats, but the 'bird boats'. Its hull is more narrow and long, wide at the top and sharp at the bottom, which is convenient for splitting the water and splitting the waves, which is not only fast, but also can sail far.

The Tan people have long learned that the Zheng father and son led their clansmen to transport grain for the imperial court and were recruited into the Shuaifu and made a great official, and the eldest son is still obeying orders by the generalissimo Wei Wang, and has now returned to Qiongzhou. The biggest official that people see on weekdays is the official who collects taxes from them, and when they hear that King Wei is the younger brother of the current emperor, of course they are very proud, and they are all proud of it. And yesterday, I saw several big ships, and the eldest son of the Zheng family accompanied King Wei to sit on the 'dragon boat', which had already caused a sensation in the whole family.

Today, seeing that King Wei not only rewarded the Zheng family with a lot of things, but also envied his family, they all stopped their work and gathered around the Zheng family's boat to look at it from afar. Zhao Hao didn't want to bother more, so he only brought Ni Liang and Wang De and a few guards on the boat, he looked at the cabin although it was cramped, but there were also a few decent pieces of furniture, the cabin was tidy, the clothes were clean, of course, a fishy smell was indispensable, thinking about the usual self-sufficient life is also delicious, life is still stable, not as hard and embarrassing as he imagined.

The Zheng family felt honored and at the same time sincerely fearful, thanked the reward, and said a few words. Zheng Yong has been in the palace for so many days, so he naturally knows the rules, so he sent the women of the family to the back cabin to prepare for food, and the children were bombarded outside, leaving only a few elders in the clan to speak. Several old men didn't know where to put their nervous hands and feet, standing on the side trembling and speaking official words with a strong local language, and they made a strong arch. Zhao Yu didn't understand either, it was all up to Zheng Yong's explanation, he could only laugh and hum indiscriminately, so as not to embarrass the Zheng family, but it was inevitable that he would be cold.

At this time, the children outside the cabin suddenly shouted, as if they found a few big fish swimming over, Zhao Yu was embarrassed and wanted to go to see it, everyone thought that children like to see a strange thing, and they had nothing new here except for fish and turtles, so they all accompanied His Highness to the deck. He leaned on the gangside and looked down, and the clear water was shining in the sunlight and the bottom of the sea was several meters deep, and sure enough, he could see several large fish about three feet long swimming around the side of the boat.

Zheng Yong saw that His Highness liked it, so he turned around and went to get the fishing net to catch the fish, so that His Highness could take a closer look, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, His Highness heard a pop, and the prince disappeared......

His Royal Highness fell into the water, and everyone rushed to the side of the boat to check, where Ni Liang had already jumped into the water, and several guards who accompanied the boarding ship jumped off without taking off their clothes, and Wang De shouted and asked people to hurry up and save His Highness. Zheng Yong quickly calmed down, it was common for someone to fall into the water when walking on the sea, he tore off his clothes and was about to go into the water, but found that Ni Liang and several people had stirred up the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea, and the clear water turned into chaos, and he couldn't see His Highness at all.

"There it is!" Zheng Yong, who was standing on the boat, saw that a piece of yellow was the color of His Royal Highness's clothes, and hurriedly pointed to Ni Liang in the water.

"Nobody, where is Your Highness?" Ni Liang is also a person who grew up by the water, although the water nature is not as good as Zheng Yong, but it is not bad, and he paddled a few times to catch His Royal Highness, who was up and down, but he grabbed a vacancy, only picked up a piece of clothing, and couldn't help but say in a hurry.

"Quickly call someone to row over and look for ......" Zheng Yong's head buzzed again, His Royal Highness was not eaten by a big fish, or it would only take a moment to see the clothes and no one was there, he shouted, took the harpoon and jumped into the water.

"How?"

"No ......" Zheng Yong plunged to the bottom of the sea with a fierce son, looking at the surrounding fish swimming around except for the frightened fish, but there was no shadow of His Highness, until his breath was exhausted, he surfaced to breathe.

"Look for it again!" Several people plunged down like ducks, floated up and dived into the water to look for them, knowing that the longer they fell into the water, the greater the danger to their Highness.

"Nope!"

"Nope!" More people went into the water to search for the place where His Highness had fallen into the sea, except for another pair of trousers and found the crown and hat, but the person was still nowhere to be seen.

"Your Highness, you can kill your subordinates......" Several searches were fruitless, Zheng Yong also felt strange, the sea current here is gentle, and there is no wind and waves, but so many people can't find it, so he has to suspect that His Royal Highness was dragged away by the legendary water ghost, and this consequence is not something that their Zheng family and even the Tan clan can bear, and he can't help but secretly complain.

"He's over there, over there!" At this time, the children in the boat pointed to the other side of the boat and jumped and shouted. Zheng Yong heard this, hurriedly swam past the bow of the boat and turned around, only to see a child half floating on the water more than twenty steps away waving at him, and looked at His Highness with a fixed eye......
