Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dispute
"It turned, left the whales, and headed west!" Soon, Hong Tao tied a bamboo tube to the windsurfing board, and when he sailed a few dozen meters away from the sailboat, Karl had already run back empty-handed, and it seemed that the third harpoon was also plugged in. As the two men staggered by, Karl pointed to the port side and told Hong Tao a new direction.
The group of whales is quite strange, they are huge but timid, once attacked, except for a few toothed whales, they rarely think of fighting back, but scatter and flee, it is really huge and cowardly, white has grown so big a body. From this point of view, nature is still very fair, if you are given a huge body, it will no longer give you an aggressive character, otherwise it will destroy the ecological balance, it will not let any kind of creature occupy an absolute dominance, but I don't know why there is such a monster as humans. Their bodies are not strong, but they have a big head with great imagination and logical thinking ability, using this big head, they have gradually become the masters of the whole world after thousands of years of exploration, and they are considered to be anti-heaven existence on the earth, and any animal is vulnerable in front of them.
The whale is a bit like the Great Song Dynasty, it is huge, rich, peaceful, and serene, but it lacks the courage to attack and counterattack. Hong Tao can't fundamentally change it, but he can constantly stimulate it and urge it to change slowly. But before that, Hong Tao first had to help it block some of the interference from the outside world, so that it could smoothly pass through this transition period, and when it gradually gained a little courage, just like those real overlord killer whales of the sea, whoever dared to provoke it would chase and bite, at that time, relying on the foundation and physique of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no opponent in the world.
When he caught up with the whale that had just surfaced to breathe, it had three harpoons stuck in its back, and the dark red blood was washed down by the sea, and it disappeared without a trace. The sudden blow made this whale a little confused, and it broke away from the whale group alone and swam towards the direction of Ganquan Island, but looking at its activity and swimming speed, its strength was still sufficient, far from the time when it was caught, not only could not be discouraged, but also had to be more careful, don't be hurt by it.
"I'll give you another one!" Hong Tao was bad in all directions, and instead of sticking the whale's back this time, he threw the harpoon at the base of the humpback's curved tail fin. This is where activity is most frequent, and if a harpoon tear is made, it will be more painful and lose more blood. It's like shooting a man in armor with an arrow, he can hold out for a long time if you shoot your body, but if I shoot you in the leg, you either don't run, as long as you run, you will have to bleed more and endure more pain.
You have a harpoon, I have a harpoon, and soon, 7 of the 8 harpoons have grown on this whale, only Hong Tao is still holding one in his hand, and he is catching up from behind the whale, ready to give it another blow. At this time, Ganquan Island was already in my mind, and if you calculate the distance, this whale has swam almost ten nautical miles. More than an hour has passed, its vitality is still so tenacious, but the swimming speed has decreased significantly, and the interval between ventilation is also shorter, about three or five minutes to float up once, and the depth of the dive is not enough to pull all the bamboo tubes down, so it can only drag a large number of bamboo tubes to pull out a bunch of waves on the sea surface.
Dozens of small wooden boats are parked on the beach north of Ganquan Island, where several bonfires have been lit as people prepare for dinner for the day. In the distance, small wooden boats are coming by, the peak is before sunset, and the slowest boats will arrive before midnight.
"Xiao Er, your brother-in-law came back in a boat, didn't he say that he was going to fight and kill Jiao Shark, why did he come back so soon, could it be that Jiao Shark was killed by him?" Someone in the busy crowd on the shore suddenly noticed the shadow of the sail in the distance, and the only one who could hold up such a big black sail was the sailboat Hong Tao.
"Coax ......" many of the Tan family members present laughed.
They didn't know who Hong Tao was, only a part of the Tan family in Zhenzhou Port had attended Hong Tao's engagement banquet, and they had also heard that Chen Mingen had accepted a godson who was fished from the sea, and they had heard a little about Hong Tao's deeds of building ships and fighting sharks, but those who really knew Hong Tao were limited to the Bo, Huang, Chen, Bu, Weng, and Wen families. This time, all the Tan family members from Sanjun Town, a state on Hainan Island, came to catch the sea, and many of them came from Qiongzhou, Wanning, Lehui, Thanksgiving, and Changhua in the north, and they had never heard of Hong Tao or seen him.
However, when they set sail in the early hours of yesterday morning, all the Tan family members saw Hong Tao's strange-looking galleon and the black sails erected high. For a family member who runs faster than themselves, other family members are still very unconvinced, especially those young people. Although the Tan family is very united externally, there is also internal competition, whoever catches more fish and drives a boat well, who is the hero of the Tan family, will get more favor from the Tan family. Anyway, the Tan family can't intermarry with foreigners, and this honor is still very attractive to young people.
As for the legend that Hong Tao can fight and kill Jiao sharks, and kill several by himself, most of the Tan family members don't take it seriously, and only think that the Bo family, the Huang family and the Chen family are bragging for their own relatives. They are all people who have been mixed with the sea for generations, who still doesn't know who has a few catties and a few taels, if it is said that someone killed a big shark and some people believe it, but to say that someone can survive in a group of big sharks that have smelled blood and gone crazy, it is very sensational, and he killed several alone, this is not bragging!
"Liu Da, our Tan family doesn't need to go around when talking, if you are not convinced, you can try it with my brother-in-law, whether it is on the shore or on the boat, he is better than your Liu family brothers!" Bo Xiaoer was old and calm, and he didn't argue with those people, but Bo Xiaosan, who was roasting taro, was not happy, and walked to the bonfire of the Liu family with a wooden stick of taro, and yelled at a few young people of the Tan family who were sitting there, and had the momentum of fighting if he was not convinced.
"That's right, our Tan family is straightforward, if you can, you can, if you can't, you can't! can't say that your sister-in-law can't get married, and finally a fool marries her, so you make up stories for others to hear. If he could really enter the group of sharks to fight alone, why hadn't he heard of it before? Could it be that he jumped out of a crack in the stone! "This group of young people of the Tan family did not show weakness, they fought when they fought, who was afraid of whom, and at that moment two boys jumped out, stood up to Bo Xiaosan, and began to shout.
