Ang Lee really doesn't believe that these ordinary fishermen can kill huge whales with only small boats and the most primitive hunting tools, if they can really do this, then these whaling fishermen can be called heroes.

Looking at the small boats bouncing up and down in the waves, Ang Lee really sweated for these daring whalers, in case the whales got angry and shook their huge tail fins to hit the boats, these fishermen could die in the sea.

However, Ang Lee's worries are indeed real, every year in the hunting operation, someone will fall into the sea because of the whale's counterattack, the rescue in time can save a life, and the rescue is not timely can only feed the fish.

Every few years, some fishermen die at sea because of the whale hunting, such a dangerous whaling operation, is a game of the brave, this whaling activity has lasted for so many years, giving birth to generations of whaling heroes, and these whaling heroes will always receive admiration and praise from others.

The threat of death does not stop the brave from challenging themselves, and although there are often people who die at sea for the killing of whales, the ranks of whalers have never decreased, on the contrary, the ranks of whalers have grown day by day, and many teams have formed in the country of Sri Buddha alone.

In the eyes of the locals, only a man who dares to kill whales is a truly brave man, a man worthy of lifelong trust, and those who are afraid of whales are cowards.

In addition, Sri Buddha's materials were relatively scarce, and the killing of whales could greatly increase the quality of life of the people, so that the people could have a sufficient amount of whale meat to eat.

At the mercy of the desperate need for food and the courage of men, the people who live here have been hunting whales for generations, and due to the lack of sufficient scientific knowledge, there has been almost no progress in whaling equipment and technology, relying entirely on manpower and the most primitive whaling forks, which has to be said to be a sadness.

"The whale is angry, the whale is angry."

The officers and men of the Tang Army on the deck shouted.

Li An looked at it and couldn't help but feel sad for these whaling fishermen, the whale's tail swept into a small fishing boat, overturning the fishing boat entirely, and more than a dozen fishermen on the fishing boat were instantly swept into the sea.

"Li Shilang, these fishermen are in danger, let's go and rescue them!"

One of the generals whispered.

Ang Lee looked at the deceased King Sri Buddha beside him and wanted to ask his opinion.

King Sri Buddha shook his head and said softly, "It's a bit far away, it's too late, they can only rely on their own people to save it, besides, such a big boat, just driving past it may hit these small fishing boats." ”

Seeing the disaster suffered by the people under his rule, of course King Sri Buddha wanted to rescue him, but the Tang army's steam gunboat was too big, the speed was too fast, and the location of the accident was too far away, so it was really not easy to go to the rescue.

Since King Sri Buddha didn't care about his own people, there was no need for Ang Lee to be in a hurry, pick up the binoculars and observe to see how these fishermen saved themselves.

Soon, two fishing boats were divided to rescue the fishermen who had fallen into the water, while the other boats continued to chase and attack the whales, as if they would not stop until they were killed.

The whaling operation was tense and exciting, everyone was trying to kill the whales, and the people in charge of the rescue were also busy, no one noticed the Datang fleet not far away, or just took a brief look, and then plunged into the tense hunting operation.

The action of killing whales is urgent, and not a second of work can be delayed, after all, the whale's ventilation time is not very long, as long as the whale is finished, it will definitely dive to the bottom immediately, so that these fishermen will return empty-handed.

The fishermen have put in a lot of effort and sweat, and if the whales cannot be killed, then these hard work will be in vain, and the sacrifices of some fishermen will also be in vain.

"Thrilling, exciting, awesome."

Ang Lee saw an extremely heroic scene with his glasses, a fisherman holding a long harpoon, suddenly jumped up from the bow of the boat, and with all his strength, stabbed the harpoon into the whale's body, and after completing this series of actions, the fisherman also fell on the whale's back, and soon slid into the sea, disappearing into the vast sea.

"Your Royal Highness, such whaling is really thrilling, the hero of whaling just now, I wonder if he can survive?"

Li An put down the binoculars and said with a sigh.

Obviously, the fisherman just now was too brave, this was simply hunting with his life, if such a warrior was swallowed by the sea, Li An would have some pity in his heart.

King Sri Buddha shook his head and said, "Li Shilang is too worried, this hero will definitely be fine, he will soon be rescued by his companions." ”

"Oh, how can you be so sure?"

Li An asked curiously.

"Li Shilang must not have looked closely just now, this warrior's hind feet were tied to a rope, so that as long as the companions on the boat kept pulling the rope, they could rescue him."

King Sri Buddha spoke.

Li An nodded and said: "The official is too nervous, he didn't see this detail, mistake, mistake!" ”

After that, he continued to observe the whaling activities.

After the whaling fork pierced the whale's huge body, the whale struggled violently because of the pain, and because the whaling fork had a rope tied to its tail, the whale could not get rid of the fishermen's pursuit no matter how it struggled, and at the same time, the fishermen's boats were also pulled around by the whales.

This process can be fraught with danger, and whalers can be driven into the sea by desperate whales if they are not careful, so caution must be taken.

Soon, another whaling warrior jumped up and attacked the whale with a whaling fork, successfully stabbing the whale in the back.

As a result, the two boats were pulled around by the whales, and the scene was a bit comical.

The fishermen who fell into the sea were constantly being rescued, and more warriors joined in the attack on the whales.

Because the breath has not been completed, and too much oxygen is consumed during the struggle, the whale cannot dive, otherwise, it will definitely be suffocated to the bottom of the sea.

The fishermen kept attacking, the whales kept struggling and resisting, and the two sides fought wits and courage to the death, and the nearby sea water was stained red by the whale's blood.

"What a terrible battle! It's the first time this official has seen such a whale hunt, and after a long experience, these people are amazing, haha! ”

Ang Lee watched a good bustle and was in a good mood.

King Sri Buddha put down the baby bump in his hand and whispered, "This whale has suffered heavy blows one after another, and its strength has been almost exhausted, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be caught, I am really happy for these fishermen." ”

As long as the whale can be caught, it is a success, and the fishermen pay a big price is worth it, after all, such a dangerous thing as whaling is not always successful, and every whale caught is a great joy to celebrate.

"Yes! The official also saw that the whale's strength was getting less and less, but this whale was very heavy, and once it died and sank to the bottom of the sea, it would bring the fishermen's boats into the deep sea. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

King Sri Buddha nodded and said, "What Li Shilang said is right, it is indeed like this, but the fishermen will not wait for the whale to die completely before they come to shore, they are already working hard to drag, and they will definitely pull the whale into the shore before the whale dies and sinks." ”

"Come on, send a lifeboat over and ask these fishermen if there are any casualties."

Li An opened his mouth and gave the order.

Now that the whales are not very jubilant, it is only a matter of time before they are caught ashore by the fishermen, so it is advisable to send someone over to find out some information.

The lifeboat slowly descended from the steam gunboat, and several Tang soldiers and a soldier of Sri Buddha were hoisted down and landed firmly on the lifeboat.

The lifeboats of the Tang Army's steam gunboats were originally quite small, but compared with the boats used by fishermen for whaling, they were a bit large, about three or four times the size of small fishing boats, and there was no problem in accommodating more than 30 people.

After all, this is the lifeboat of the Tang Army's steam gunboat, in case the steam gunboat breaks down, or it hits the reef and is about to sink, then, the soldiers on the ship must have escape items, the lifeboat is the best reliance, and the ship has a large number of personnel, which requires the size of the lifeboat to be large enough, otherwise, the number to be prepared is too much, and, floating on the sea, too small ships are not easy to find, and at the same time, it is easy to be blown over by the waves.

The Tang Army's lifeboat is also powered, and it is also advanced oil-burning propulsion technology, and the speed is not slower than that of the steam cannon ship at all.

By the time the lifeboat reached the fishing boat, the whale had stopped struggling and, apparently, had lost the strength to resist.

The fishermen suppressed their ecstasy and worked together to drag the whale towards the shore.

The shore is not far away, and if it is far from the beach, the fishermen do not dare to hunt the whales, so the whale carcass soon approached the beach with the joint efforts of the fishermen.

"How's it going, are there any casualties?"

The leading fisherman replied with a smile: "It's okay, all of them have been recovered, only a few are slightly injured, haha!" ”

"Oh, that's wonderful, His Majesty says you're heroic, and he's standing on that huge warship, watching you?"

The leading fisherman was immediately flattered, and hurriedly looked at the steam gunboat in the distance with a group of fishermen.

They were too attentive to hunting whales just now, they actually completely ignored the Tang steam gunboat in the distance, and now the whale hunting has ended, so they calmed down and carefully observed the big ship in the distance, and were amazed, what they didn't expect was that their great king was actually on the big ship in the distance.

"This is the fattest meat above the whale, please give it to His Majesty the King."

The leading fisherman used a dagger to cut off a piece of whale meat, which was more than ten catties.

"Well, His Majesty will be pleased, you guys are busy!"

Several soldiers left in lifeboats and returned to the steamboat.

"Your Majesty, the fishermen only had a few minor injuries, and none of them were swept away by the sea, this is the whale meat for Your Majesty first."

The soldier offered whale meat.

Li An looked at it and said with a smile: "Great, today's lunch is a blessing, but these fishermen are indeed worthy of respect, they have encountered such great difficulties, and they can actually save the day, I thought that some fishermen were swept away by the sea?" ”

"Haha! Xiao Wang also sweated! These fishermen live by the sea all year round, and the water is excellent, if ordinary people fall into the sea, the chance of survival is very small. ”

King Sri Buddha spoke.

After the lifeboat was hoisted onto the steamboat, the steamboat began to run at full speed towards the position where the pirates had entrenched, preparing to annihilate the pirates and let King Sri Buddha experience the thrill of annihilating the enemy.

Li Ang continued to use the telescope to observe the fishermen who were splitting the whale meat, this kind of scene he had never seen before, this was the first time, the huge body of the whale, it is not so easy to divide, once accidentally caused the internal organs to burst, it is completely able to bury a large living person alive.

As the distance got farther and farther away, the telescope could not see clearly, so Ang Lee lay down and chatted with the deceased King Sri Buddha.

For example, talking about his past, or talking about his past life story, and a lot of what Ang Lee talked about was very novel, at least something that the deceased King Sri Buddha had not seen, so this guy was very interested and listened carefully.

"Li Shilang, what is milk tea, is goat's milk and tea mixed together? Does that really taste good? ”

King Sri Buddha frowned, he really couldn't imagine the taste of milk mixed with tea, and with his intelligence and cognitive level, he would naturally think so.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and explained: "There are many raw materials for milk tea, and the taste of the configuration is extremely delicious, much sweeter than pure milk. ”

"Oh, it's so delicious! So, the little lady who loves milk tea must be very beautiful, but it's a pity that such a beautiful little lady actually wants to marry a blind rich man with a face who can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, this is really a waste, what a waste, Li Shilang, there really are men who can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness under ordinary people? ”

King Sri Buddha looked at Ang Lee with a curious expression, and the answer was already written on his face, that is, he did not believe that it was real.

Li An said with a smile: "This official, like His Royal Highness the King, doesn't really believe that there are people in this world who can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness, but this is what the rich man himself said, and he personally told everyone that he can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, and he doesn't know if he marries a young lady and looks beautiful." ”

"Li Shilang, he's a fool! Actually unveiled his scars? ”

King Sri Buddha shook his head.

Li An said softly: "This is also called courage, people who can admit that they are flawed need courage, and we should applaud this rich man warmly." ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After speaking, Li Ang cluffed up his hands and applauded enthusiastically.
