Chapter 512: Trying to Catch a Fish

The sun is scorching, and the heat is unbearable. Although it's mid-September, the weather in the Pacific Ocean is still in the middle of summer. The strong sunlight shone on the sea, shining brightly, piercing people's eyes.

Xu Wenlong was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles, waving his arms and paddling the oars rhythmically, and sailed briskly towards the northwest with the lifeboat. It was only at this time that the special training he received in the "Shadow" unit finally showed great power. With slow breathing and long endurance, even if he has no sleep all night, no water and rice, and has experienced the tragic blow of losing a lover and heartbreaking, he is still fierce and dexterous. I don't feel tired at all, I don't feel sleepy at all. Hunger is certain, and my stomach has been rumbling since dawn, but the main thing is that I am thirsty. After all, the non-stop rowing, sweating profusely and soaking through his clothes, coupled with the strong blazing direct sunlight, had already made his lips burst and his throat hoarse. Fortunately, the refreshing sea breeze has been blowing, and it is cool and swishing, and it does not make people feel particularly uncomfortable. As for identifying directions, he is also relatively sure. As long as it is not a bad weather in the dark, he will roughly confirm the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest according to the positions and shapes of the stars, moons, suns, and clouds in the sky, and then remove some necessary influencing factors, and the determined direction will basically not be wrong. Thinking of identifying the direction, Xu Wenlong couldn't help but miss his dagger. Alas, it would be nice to be able to carry it with you at any time like "this is the case"! At least you can't go in the wrong direction, so you don't have to bother thinking about it repeatedly. It's a pity that she was "taken" by the stinky girl without revealing her marks and sank to the unfathomable bottom of the sea. But what if she didn't "take" it? Isn't it the same in the end?

Yu Wenli's clothes had already dried, and she was no longer shivering and shivering with cold, but then she fell into another torment - unspeakable heat. This damn weather, it's just ice and fire, and you can't let people live? She leaned motionless on the stern of the boat, muttering and complaining, and from time to time glanced at Xu Wenlong, who was shirtless, with envious eyes. Alas, how nice it would be to be a boy yourself, take off your clothes, leave a pair of pants, and then jump into the sea, and swim with the dinghy, how cool and cool it is! Unfortunately, no, I had to grit my teeth and endure that sin. She washed the garment she had picked up last night, removed the dirt and diesel fuel from it, and spread it out to dry on the lifeboat to keep warm on the cold nights. It was a purple women's coat with a nice fabric, especially a good texture, with a thick cashmere lining and a snow cap, which could almost be used as a quilt when dried. After all this, she leaned quietly on the side of the boat, her eyes stared at the bulging backpack beside her for a moment, and wanted to say something to Xu Wenlong several times, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally sighed softly, squinted her eyes and took a nap.

After Xu Wenlong heard that light sigh, he thought that Yu Wenli couldn't bear the hunger. So he put down the oars, moved his numb and stiff hands and feet, turned his head and asked Yu Wenli, "What's wrong?" Why sigh? Are you hungry? ”

Yu Wenli opened her eyes and asked excitedly, "Have you started catching fish?" How to catch? What can I do? ”

Xu Wenlong nodded, then shook his head again, and replied in a very serious and solemn tone: "It's time to start catching fish." But don't get your hopes up. Because no matter what kind of fish is very flexible in the water, it is relatively stronger. Especially for big fish with more than ten or twenty pounds, sometimes a tail swing action is enough to stun an adult. And we don't have any tools, so it's not so easy to catch them. It's a matter of luck and timing. If it's too big, you can't afford to provoke it, and you can't catch it. It's not good if it's too small, it's too flexible to catch up. ”

"Oh-I see, isn't this a cat and a mouse? Except for the dead, who will obediently wait for you to catch it. When Yu Wenli heard this, her heart immediately cooled. Then she said to Xu Wenlong comfortingly, "But it's better to try, maybe there will really be one or two unlucky fish on your back, and you will bump into your hand in a daze." If it really doesn't work, then only the old man will go out in person. Also, be careful in the water, don't be reckless when you encounter sharks, and escape is the best option. ”

Xu Wenlong didn't make a sound, nor was he amused by Yu Wenli's words. He stood straight on the side of the boat, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then leaped into the sea, head and toe, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only circles of ripples rippling and spreading on the water......

Yu Wenli lay on the side of the boat tightly, poked her head out and stared at the sea without moving, counting unhurriedly in her mouth, and her face showed a look of happiness and excitement.

…… 59,60…… The ripples on the surface of the water were not startled, there was no sound at all, and there was no reaction.

…… 101,102…… There was still not the slightest movement on the water.

"My God, shouldn't it be ......" Yu Wenli became more frightened and frightened the more she counted. His voice trembled, and tears were almost coming out. She leaned out, her head almost on the water, her eyes wide open and desperately looking to the bottom of the sea. But she couldn't see anything but the waves that made her dizzy.

Finally, there was a roar on the sea, and a figure came out of the water.

Yu Wenli was overjoyed, she didn't have time to wipe her tears, and immediately clapped her hands and cheered: "My mom, you're finally out!" Hurry up, come up, get on board. ”

"I didn't catch any fish, I didn't even see a single one. No, I have to go down. Xu Wenlong wiped the sea water that filled his head, adjusted his breath slightly, and then plunged into the sea again.

"Don't ...... Don't ......" Yu Wenli wanted to open her mouth to dissuade Xu Wenlong, telling him to stop catching fish for Shizi, if there was no movement for half a day, people would be scared out of heart disease. Just before she finished speaking, Xu Wenlong had already dived into the water, leaving her in a daze looking at the sea.

"Okay, it seems that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't stop if you can't catch fish." Although Yu Wenli said so, she actually knew better than anyone else that it was imperative for Xu Wenlong to catch fish, and she had no choice. Otherwise, no matter how burly and strong a man is, how can he survive a few days without eating or drinking? He would definitely not eat canned food, as long as he still had a trace of consciousness and strength.

It also took more than two to three minutes for Xu Wenlongshuang to get out of the water. But unfortunately, he was still empty-handed, and he didn't catch anything, not even a single fish scale.

Yu Wenli knew Xu Wenlong's water nature, so she was used to it and didn't worry about him anymore. Seeing that he was depressed and showed the water to breathe, he crossed his hands and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" It's a failure again, or let's fish in a different way. ”

"What other way?" Xu Wenlong looked at the boundless sea worriedly, gritted his teeth, and sank into the water again. He held his breath in the water, treading frequently to keep his body balanced, and trying to keep his eyes open and search for the fish. Hopefully a fish of the right size will swim past him, and then see the opportunity to spot the direction and capture it with lightning speed. However, his abacus is very good, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and he will even play tricks on people. For he waited in the water for a long time, but he did not see even the shadow of half a fish. Look at the time is almost up, and if you hold it any longer, you won't be able to get up. So he shook his waist violently and leaped out of the water like a swimming fish. Xu Wenlong surfaced, breathed slowly, didn't speak, didn't even say hello to Yu Wenli, and then sank into the water again.

Three shots, three misses, what is the result of the fourth time? I guess there's no hope, this method won't work at all. Yu Wenli silently looked at the rippling sea surface in the microwave, and kept sighing in her mouth. It seems that there is only one last trick to use the bottom of the box, and it doesn't matter if you are scolded by him again. Yu Wenli muttered softly, pulled the bulging backpack with her backhand, opened the zipper hissedly, and took out a huge flower cloth bag from it......

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of crashing water on the sea, accompanied by a large splash of water flying away in all directions......

"Caught, caught! Finally caught the big fish! Yu Wenli screamed happily, quickly stuffed the flower cloth bag back into her backpack, raised her head and looked at the fierce mermaid battle in the sea with surprise and joy.

Yes, Xu Wenlong did catch a fish, and it was a big fish weighing twenty pounds. It turned out that he had just dived into the water when he was delighted to find a black cloud swimming not far away. After careful identification, it was determined that it was not a bloodthirsty, extremely aggressive shark or killer whale. So he tried to suppress his pounding heart, and remained motionless in the water. When the big fish slowly swam past his eyes, and the moment he opened his cheeks to breathe. His right hand immediately turned his fingers into the palm of his hand, filled the sword with his palm, and inserted it into the cheek cavity of the big fish like lightning, tearing the fish gills straight to the mouth, and firmly controlling the big fish in one fell swoop. The big fish was injured and in pain, dragging him up and jumping out of the water, desperately flicking his tail and fins to escape. Xu Wenlong finally caught this opportunity, but how could he easily escape? No matter how much it rolled and jumped, it stuck in its cheeks and didn't let go, and in the intervals it swung its left fist, punch after punch into its head. After a few minutes, the big fish finally sprinkled a large amount of blood, and cocked its belly and never moved again. Xu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the seawater on his face, lifted the big fish and threw it to the lifeboat, and then grabbed the side of the boat and turned over and jumped in.

As soon as the big fish fell into the boat, Yu Wenli pounced on it, holding the fish's head with both hands, for fear that it would jump back into the sea if it turned around.

"Don't care about it, it doesn't have the strength to run away. Sit tight, we need to get out of here. Xu Wenlong jumped into the lifeboat, didn't have time to wipe the water droplets on his body, set up the oars and rowed quickly.

Yu Wenli slapped the big fish hard, and found that it really didn't react at all, and it was indeed almost dead. So he turned around and asked Xu Wenlong puzzled: "The fish are dead, what are we going to run?" ”

Xu Wenlong said without looking back while rowing a boat: "The big fish bleed a lot, and the smell of blood there is very strong, and it would be bad if it attracted sharks." ”

"Sharks? Sharks that eat people! Oh my god, this is no joke. Yu Wenli was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly bent down and lay tightly in the cabin.
