Tang San glanced at Captain Jack, and was a little speechless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zheng Sen smiled and said, "Captain Jack is our own people. You don't have to worry about anything. "Captain Jack has just transferred his wife and son to Taiwan. This is equivalent to saying that he is determined to follow the Zheng family, and now his life is stable and his income is also very good, so Zheng Sen feels that he has no reason to betray, even if he betrays, it will be difficult for him to get better things from others.

"Actually, it's not ......," Tang San laughed and began to talk about him and the blue whale......

……

"Monkey, do you see anything?" Tangsan shouted to the sailors who were looking out from the mast.

"Captain, nothing!" The sailor's voice and the sea breeze drifted down the mast.

"Hell yes! Where did all those damn whales go? Tang San crumpled the captain's hat in his hand fiercely. It has been half a month since he went to sea this time, but he has not caught anything, and most of the boats that went to sea together have returned with full loads. Yesterday evening, the last boat that came out with him also dragged a right whale back smoothly, only his boat, still empty at sea.

"Captain, we are running out of fresh water, we can hold out for three more days at most, and we have to walk for one day on the way back, and we must go back tomorrow." Da Fu Ke Meng stood aside and said.

"Then save it, hold on for two more days, and return the day after tomorrow." Tang Shan said, "When I go back this time, I will give Lao Tzu a good stick of incense to Mazu Temple and go to bad luck." Alas, old Ke, you said that if it was like that time, how beautiful it would be. I was on duty that night, and in the middle of the night, all the people on the boat fell asleep except for those on duty, and the boat was floating on the sea, and when it was almost dawn, the boat slammed into something, which frightened me, and I quickly ran to the side of the boat to take a look, oh my mother! It turned out that I bumped into a sperm whale! Take a closer look, Mazu Niangniang is on top, and I still see so many sperm whales at one time, almost a hundred, all floating quietly on the sea to sleep? Alas, it's a pity, how could such a good thing not happen this time? ”

"We stared at so many whales that time, and we were completely dazzled, and in the end we were busy all day and dragged the biggest one back...... It's a pity that after that time, how long has it been since we caught whales again? Ke Meng also sighed.

"Captain!" The lookout suddenly shouted.

"Are there any whales?" Tang San asked.

"No, it's a boat! On the starboard side! The lookout replied.

"Alert!" Tang San shouted, grabbing the telescope and walking to starboard.

At sea in this era, it is often dangerous for ships to meet each other, because you don't know if the other party is a pirate or not, and even many times, even a serious merchant ship will turn into a pirate if you find that your ship is not very armed.

However, Tangshan is not too worried about this problem. Because his ship was now very light, almost empty, the other party could easily tell this from the draft of his boat. Such a ship is not easy to catch up, and even if it does, it will not gain anything. Even an authentic pirate would not be interested in chasing such a ship. Of course, there is still a little bit of necessary precautions.

But it didn't take long for the alarm to be lifted, because now the structure of the sails of the ship can be clearly seen in the telescope, two masts and a bow mast, except for the two sails at the highest point, all soft sails, this kind of sail configuration, except for the Zheng family's whaling ship, there is really no other house like this.

After a while, the ship got closer and closer, and the ship's number could already be seen in the telescope. The white paint is painted over there with a set of Arabic numerals: 10086. Apparently the other party recognized them, so they lowered the sail and let the boat slowly stop.

"It's Li Dazui's boat, damn he we just met him a few days ago, caught a gray whale and went back, and came out again so soon?" Tang San scolded.

"You see, their ship has a draft. It's deep, did they catch another one? Ke Meng said.

"The dog's big mouth!" Tangshan actually has a good relationship with Li Dazui, but at this time, he was envious, jealous and hateful, and couldn't help but scold.

The two boats were getting closer and closer, and I could already see the people on the opposite boat. Someone over there had already shouted: "Tangshan, you still haven't caught a whale!" Is there anything else to eat on board? Is there still water? Lao Tzu caught another one, and now he wants to go back! Do you want water? Do you want to eat? Lao Tzu lends you some! ”

"Li Dazui of the grass mud horse! You want food, your whole family needs food! Honestly leave the water and food, and let you live! Tang San scolded.

Li Dazui was not angry when he heard this, but laughed out loud, and then commanded to put down the sampan and bring two buckets of fresh water and a bucket of food. Then he retracted his sampan, hoisted his sails, laughed and walked away.

"Grandma's, this guy has only been out for a few days this time, and he actually caught another one, is there any reason for this?" Looking at the sails of 10086 in the distance, Tang Shan gritted his teeth and scolded.

When the sails of 10086 disappeared below the horizon, it was another boring time, and everyone was bored looking at the empty sea and worried.

"Captain, there's a column of water! Whale water column! The lookout suddenly shouted.

"What? Which? Tang San jumped up like a spring.

"Port side, in the direction of the bow." The lookout shouted.

Tang Shan rushed to the port side with a telescope and looked over there, but he couldn't see anything in the telescope, only a vast sea. But Tang San was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the whale to spew out the water column again.

The time between each breath of the whale is quite long, and during this time, the whale may dive underwater, and naturally nothing can be seen through the telescope. But whales always come to the surface for air.

After about a quarter of an hour, a tall straight column of water appeared again. And this column of water shows that the whale is approaching them. It was at this time that Tangshan saw this huge whale through a telescope.

"Oh my God, it's huge, it's so much bigger than we've seen before! It's a blue whale, right? ......" Tangshan continued to hold the telescope to observe, and after nearly a quarter of an hour, the blue whale surfaced again to breathe, and according to the position of the water column, Tangshan found that the blue whale was coming towards him.

"Great! Whaling cannons, get ready. Full right rudder, we turn in a direction parallel to it! Tang San ordered.

Tangshan has seen blue whales before, but they swim much faster than boats. Unless it swam into range of the whaling cannon on its own, they had little to do with it.

The blue whale did not dive deep into the sea, and at today's distance, Tangshan can clearly see it even without a telescope. The whale slowly chased after it from behind, and it had no fear of the ship at sea, and soon the giant beast approached only about two hundred meters to the right side of the ship.

At this time, Tangshan had already run to the whaling gun position. The whaling fork was inserted into the barrel of the gun, and behind the whaling fork was a rope of several hundred lengths, and behind these ropes was a large buoy made of whale skin. Just now, the sailors had blown the big buoy full with a blower, and the thing swelled up like a small house.

Tang San personally controlled the whaling cannon, and he noticed that the whale was still approaching.

"A little closer, a little closer, all right, now is it!"

With a thud, the whaling shot like lightning towards the blue whale.

"Hit!" The people on board cheered. The barbed whaling fork was shot deep into the blue whale's back, leaving only the last bit of its tail exposed. The blue whale was struck by this unexpected blow, and the sharp pain caused it to jerk forward. The buoy the size of a small house was dragged down at once.

The blue whale begins to dive. It didn't understand what had hurt it, and now it just wanted to avoid possible attackers.

"Follow the buoy and throw away everything you can!" Tangshan shouted, "It's wounded, and it won't be able to escape." ”

The whaling fork that hit the blue whale is specially made, very sinister, in addition to the barb that cannot be broken free, there are three deep blood grooves on the whaling fork, and now the blue whale has dived underwater, but the buoy on the surface of the water still marks its location, and bright red blood stains can also be seen near the buoy.

The buoy moves fast, and although it is dragging such a large buoy, the blue whale still swims faster than the whaling ship. If the blue whale hadn't dived, but had dragged the buoy directly on the surface, it might have been able to get away from the slow whaling ship.

But in order to avoid the attack, the blue whale used a diving method, so that nearly half of the buoy was pulled into the water, which greatly increased the resistance of the blue whale to swim, and greatly increased the pain of the blue whale - the buoy was fixed to the blue whale by a barbed harpoon, the faster the blue whale swam, the more pain the whaling fork could bring to it, all of which greatly increased the physical consumption of the blue whale.

More than ten minutes later, the blue whale surfaced with the whaling fork, and the violent movement caused the blood of the blue whale to gush out like a fountain, and the sea water near the whaling fork was stained red.

This dive took a lot of physical exertion on the blue whale, and its speed slowed down significantly.

"Catch it up and give it another time!" In the time it were, the sailors had already loaded the whaling cannon with a second harpoon.

"Stop blowing the buoy, tie the rope directly to our bow mast!" If, after the second attack, the blue whale no longer dives, but runs directly on the surface, maybe, it will really let it run away. So Tangshan decided to take a risk and directly connected the whaling fork and the boat with a rope.

"So it won't be able to run away! And when there is really any danger, we can also cut the rope ourselves. Tang San thought so.

This time, after the blue whale surfaced, it would spray water almost every three minutes or so, and the water column that sprayed out had already turned red.

"The whaling fork hurt its lungs." Tang Shan thought so.

However, after a few rapid breaths, the huge whale regained some strength, and its speed began to increase again.

"Hell, there's still a hundred and fifty paces away...... It must be launched, the distance will not be closer, Mazu bless! Tang San muttered in his heart, and then inserted the red-hot iron stick into the fire door of the whaling cannon.

"Hit! Hit again! The sailors cheered.
