Chapter 373: The Storm Passes Jing Youxin
"It's better now, there are more fish in the sea." Seeing that the people below were very neatly catching the fish in the offshore area, Zhang Xiaobao said happily to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan also knows that this is because of the lack of environmental damage, "In fact, if you say that wild fish are stronger than the fish raised, there is really not much difference, most people can't taste it at all, and you can also raise it, as long as you subtract their natural enemies to kill them, the survival of fish fry will be very high." ”
"It depends on what it is used for, if it is just taste, except for gluttony, there are indeed few people who taste the difference in fish meat, but it is different as a medicine, there is a fish I remember called fungus fish, which can increase the peak of red blood cells, and the wild and breeding are far from the same.
It's better to keep as much wild as possible, as science and technology become more and more advanced, the higher the means of human beings to hunt other creatures, and the same is true for efficiency, not to mention anything else, at least we have seen a few creatures here that we have not seen in the future. ”
Zhang Xiaobao still wants to keep more wild animals and plants.
Xiaobei was also listening to the side, and suddenly interjected: "Brother, do we have to pity the little animals." ”
"Yes and no, we should have mercy on all things in the world, including ourselves, but we still have to eat what we should eat, and all living beings have mercy, so don't we starve to death? Pity only animals and not plants is false mercy, if it is really not about righteousness, then everything in the world is the same, why artificially distinguish wisdom or non-wisdom? If we don't pay attention to righteousness, this world is the survival of the fittest, and the weak eat the strong. ”
Zhang Xiaobao is not a member of the Protection Association, so he doesn't care at all.
"Then why pity?" Xiaobei didn't understand too much, but he finally knew a little truth and asked again.
"Because I want to keep it for my younger brothers and sisters, so that they know what is in this world."
"Oh, then I know, I'll eat up to three bowls of shark fin a month from now on." Becky set a number for herself, and she wanted to keep it for her younger siblings.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up his sister, pointed to the fisherman below and said, "Xiaobei can eat if he wants, and if you fish in this way, you don't have to worry about killing everything." ”
"Five bowls, then." Xiaobei added two more bowls, who makes shark fin better than vermicelli, especially processed shark fin can also be used as a snack.
While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt that the speed of fishing would not affect the ecological balance, the local fishermen on the sea were frightened.
"It's really fast, a net is pulled up, it's a small half boat, how can their net not be broken?" The shy young man pulled up a net, in which there were only six or seven fish, and looked at the small boat that had been lowered from the boat, and was amazed.
His father didn't say anything immediately, but squinted his eyes and watched the group of boats, and after a while said, "Qianjin City Horse Bone, this is Qianjin City Horse Bone." ”
"Dad, what are you talking about?" The lad didn't understand.
"It's someone who pays a thousand taels of gold to buy a pair of Maxima's bones." When the father said to his son.
"Isn't that stupid?" The young man did not know this allusion, and only thought that it was foolish to spend a thousand taels of gold to buy a pair of horse bones.
"Silly? In this way, I can buy a maxima, and the ...... said, "When a father knows a lot of things, he told his son this allusion."
After listening to this, the young man still couldn't understand what the relationship between spending money to buy horse bones and fishing now, and asked blankly: "Dad, did they also buy horses?" ”
"They didn't buy the horses, they bought the hearts of the people, they could fish by themselves, but they had to spend a lot of money to buy us, that is, to tell us that they were talking about it, so that they would not lie to us, and they would come back to buy the fish."
The person who is a father thinks more and can't think farther, but the fact that today's fish can be sold for money is judged.
The young man pondered for a while, and finally figured something out, and said, "Daddy, do they want us to know that they mean what they say today, and then wait for a while for us to work, so that we can believe them?" ”
"Yes, I guess this day is going to change, I hope there will be no war." When my father was really different from ordinary fishermen, I immediately thought of this situation.
Other fishermen are also wondering, why do the other party have to buy it like they can catch more fish, six or seven copper coins can buy a bucket of brown rice, and want to exchange fish for a bucket, even if it is a basket of fifty or sixty catties, what does it mean?
Perhaps it was the words of the young man's father that played a role, saying that the sky had changed, and the sky, which had just been sunny and sunny, suddenly became gloomy near noon, followed by the storm, lightning and thunder.
People who often fish will look at the weather, otherwise it is likely to be gone, but there is always a time to make a mistake, today I came out and thought it would be sunny all day, and in the face of the sudden arrival of dark clouds, all of them have a feeling of being caught off guard.
When the wind smashed down with the waves, one by one they couldn't care about fishing anymore, and they all wanted to dock with their boats.
But the storm came so quickly, and before they could begin to go back, the raindrops the size of beans fell densely, and there was no lightning in the sky.
"Wow! It's raining, so put away your clothes. Becky screamed and jumped excitedly on the deck, with no intention of going into the cabin to hide from the rain.
Xiao Yuan next to him also stood proudly, and said there: "Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid, a cloud of smoke and rain Ren Pingsheng, ah, let the storm come more violently." ”
"Come here for me, I really think I'm a petrel." Zhang Xiaobao shouted to his younger siblings while arranging for people to lower the mast.
The little ones had no choice but to give up the opportunity to brave the wind and waves, turn around and run into the cabin, change out of the clothes that had just been wet from the rain, and burrow into the bed to enjoy the warmth.
Zhang Xiaobao continued to stand on the deck and watched as the mast of his ship was cut off one by one, and with each fall, the people who climbed up moved down some distance.
If the three of them knew about it, they would definitely regret not following, if they wanted to see the Zhang Wang family doing high-tech, they had to follow Xiaobei and them.
The mast of ordinary ships is wood, but the mast of the fleet that came out this time is made of steel pipes, which is made according to seamless, but after all, it is not as seamless as the barrel car comes out, but it is enough to support the sails.
Cut off the hoop one by one, and dismantle it when it encounters the current weather to reduce the force area, so as not to be blown over by the wind.
The people on the small boat sent out to explore the way put on life jackets and rocked the boat vigorously to get closer to the big boat, when a wave hit down, either pushed away or overturned, and only the nearby fishing boat returned to the big boat.
The fishermen are at a loss, and every day when they go out to sea to fish, they leave with the courage to never return, but all of them want to be alive, after all, the change of weather cannot be completely controlled by people, unless it is a very experienced old man.
But even such an old man can only feel that today is not good, and sometimes he will miscalculate, so many young people listen to the old man's words and say that there is wind and rain today and do not go to sea, but after seeing a sunny day, they will believe the old man's words.
There are also those who obviously feel that the weather is not good, and they have to come out in order to make a living.
For the fishermen at sea today, this is an accident, because the old man in the village did not say how it was today, but just reminded to be careful, as was the custom of the past.
All the fishermen knew how to swim, but they didn't have life jackets, and they didn't prepare the rattan armor that people wore during the Three Kingdoms to put knives and arrows and use them as boats, and that little bit of water was too small in the face of storms.
The boat sent out by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan capsized, and the people on it could still float on the sea, and the local fishermen could only rely on their own skills to find a way to survive.
The boat capsized, the fish were gone, and life was equally out of control.
"Save people, Team Zero will be on me." Zhang Xiaobao had just watched the people remove the masts, when he saw the fishing boats over there overturning one after another and getting into the house, only for a short while, when he came out, he had changed into a water cushion made of shark skin, and he was carrying a life jacket in his hand.
There were twenty-five people in the zero team that came with him this time, and they were ready when the storm came, and after Zhang Xiaobao's orders, they were dressed the same as Zhang Xiaobao when they came out.
Pulling the water mirror, Zhang Xiaobao shouted and jumped off the ground, and the life jacket was thrown aside when Zhang Xiaobao was about to enter the water.
With the sound of plopping, it didn't take long for Zhang Xiaobao's head to emerge from the water, and with a swing of the flippers under his feet, he grabbed the life jacket not far away from his hand, put it on his body, and swam towards the fisherman's position.
Wang Juan stood on the deck, holding the last remaining section of the mast that could not be dismantled with one hand, and looking at the water with a telescope in the other, she was not worried about what would happen to Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao's water nature was already good, and he was wearing a life jacket, and this side was still offshore, and the boats were all there.
She was just worried about whether all the fishermen who fell into the water could be rescued, this time the storm that came without warning was a crisis and an opportunity, and if it was done, it could narrow the distance between it and the local people, if there was one less person, it would inevitably make a family suffer.
As for the inaccuracy of experience, Wang Juan did not complain, when he encountered a typhoon in Luzhou, he didn't hide first, and then found out that the typhoon was biased, experience is important, but it is not omnipotent, don't say that it is experience, that is, there is satellite positioning and navigation, and there is not a ship that has sunk in a storm?
The measurement is accurate enough, the air pressure, the flow of clouds are being monitored, and it is impossible to eliminate all disasters.
Zhang Xiaobao in the sea swam hard, this is the first time he went into the water to save people, the most annoying thing is the waves, fortunately it is daytime, if it is night, then basically there is no need to think about saving people.
A wave fell down, Zhang Xiaobao's body rotated, holding his breath and floating in the water, the feeling on his face just changed, he shook his head and continued to swim towards the target.
The men of Team Zero also adjusted their breathing and physical strength, and gradually approached the fishermen, but fortunately, the fishermen's skills were good, sixteen people, during this time, sixteen heads have been surfacing from time to time, and they are very clever to take off their only pants before falling into the water.
The waves made a banging sound, and none of the sixteen people shouted to the others, this was a contest of physical strength, lung capacity and storm, and when the waves hit the sea they had to swim hard, and they could not exhale, and they could only change their breath when their heads were out of the water, and they had to hold back immediately.
The most terrifying thing is the undercurrent in the water, after being smashed into the water by the waves, a small undercurrent can cancel out the reaction force when the limbs swim.
Zhang Xiaobao jumped down first, and he was also the first to swim to the person closest to him, didn't pull the other party, just followed the other party, and threw the extra life jacket in front of this person.
This person is not stupid, he reached out and held the life jacket in his arms, and then after enduring a wave, he put on the life jacket as soon as he turned around as soon as he came out of the water, and then shouted thank you.
"Save people." Zhang Xiaobao also shouted when he was angry, and then swam towards the next person, and soon the two arms of the other person were framed with the first person who was rescued, and the person who was framed reacted quickly, his upper body immediately relaxed, his feet moved, and he swam towards the big boat with Zhang Xiaobao and the people from the same village.
Half an hour later, the rain fell heavier, and the spring thunder did not know how many times it sounded, and the whole boat could no longer be seen on the sea.
Sixteen of the rescued men sat in one of the largest cabins, swaying back and forth with the waves, looking like they were in a state of trepidation.
Sixteen fishermen were all rescued, fifteen were intact, only one received some injuries, internal injuries, vomited blood, vomited after getting on the boat, Zhang Xiaobao looked at it, and felt that it was okay, it was not lung bleeding, it was bronchiectasis, coughing water, just take some medicine, just raise it.
Fifteen intact people each had a bowl of warm rice wine, and the injured people could only drink some water.
Zhang Xiaobao changed his clothes and boiled porridge next to him, and the sixteen people also put on the clothes of the guards, and no one cared about whether it fit or not, and they were all thinking about what happened just now.
Xiaobei and the others stopped sleeping, and gathered in cartoon pajamas, wanting to hear what it was like to fight the storm in the water.
"This brother, is swimming in the waves different from usual? I can still swim in the water and eat at the same time. ”
Becky's head was wearing a hat with long ears, white cotton pajamas, slippers with two rabbit eyes, and his calves were upside down next to the shy young man and asked humbly.
Such a cute little baby is always difficult to refuse, and the shy young man wants to pick up the little guy who comes over and kiss it.
The young man looked at Xiaobei, and rarely showed a smile at this time, and said: "It's different, usually when the wind and waves are calm, I dare to jump into the water to catch fish, as long as I can save my life when there is heavy rain, it is good, the waves are one after another, sometimes I can't swim if I want to swim down, and I can't hold it back." ”
"Oh, thank you, brother, that's scary, Xiaobei decided not to be Haiyan, it's sad that you can't come up in the water to catch your breath, brother, how long can you last in the water?"
Xiaobei believed the young man's words, dispelled the idea of jumping into the sea, and turned his head to ask Zhang Xiaobao again.
Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while and replied: "If it's just such a wind and waves, it's okay to hold on for an hour, but I'm afraid of encountering sharks, and now the water is too cold, and I won't have the strength to stay in it for a long time, and now I'm falling into the water, and I will hold on for two quarters of an hour at most." ”
Zhang Xiaobao's water nature is almost costable, but it can't withstand the current environment, this is not like in Luzhou, where the sea temperature is high, there is no need to worry about cramps, and the loss of body heat is also less, the current sea water temperature is seven or eight degrees above zero, plus waves and rain, it is not easy to last for two quarters of an hour.
When the fishermen heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, their first thought was that Zhang Xiaobao was capable, and he couldn't last so long as a fisherman, and a half-old baby spoke wildly.
Only the two people who were rescued by Zhang Xiaobao believed in Zhang Xiaobao's ability, because at the last moment, when the first person who was rescued found that the second rescued person couldn't support it, Zhang Xiaobao took off his life jacket and gave it to the second person, but he was not affected by the big waves at all, and he didn't know how to move, and he could wear the waves.
Usually hit down by the waves, but the first person to be rescued saw Zhang Xiaobao when the waves came, he first pounced along the waves, and then immediately came out of the waves, although he was carried far away by the waves every time he wore them, he was able to swim under the boat.
The shy young man's father said loudly at this time: "Dare to ask if there is anyone on the ship who wants to be an official in the state, I am the village of this offshore village, let me thank you in person, my surname is Li." ”
Even if the people here don't like the officials sent by Datang anymore, they have to admit their status in the face of life-saving grace.
"Old uncle, you're talking about my brother, right? It's my brother and my sister, my brother is now an older official than my sister, it's a thorn in history, old uncle, if someone bullies you in the future, especially if you are an official, you tell me, my name is Xiaobei, and I will work with others to impeach him. ”
Xiaobei glanced at his brother and began to chatter. Sometimes the words are not clear, and it takes people to think about it to understand.
With a bang, the sixteen fishermen who were still sitting there just now stood up almost at the same time and looked at Zhang Xiaobao with surprised eyes.
It's not a question of youth anymore.
"You...... Are you a thorn in the world? The first person to be rescued had his eyes wide open, staring at Zhang Xiaobao with a hellish look and asked.
"Well, this official is a newcomer to Jili Prefecture." As soon as the identity is changed, Zhang Xiaobao needs to take the shelf, which represents the imperial court.
For the first person to be rescued, age is not a problem, the problem is that it was Thorn Shi who jumped down to save people just now, and gave up the clothes at the critical moment, when did Thorn Shi's life become so worthless?
The fisherman, who had always disliked the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty, knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaobao with a plop, smashed his head on the board of the boat, and said while smashing: "My lord, thank you for saving your life, I will catch fish for you to eat when the storm is over." ”
"When the wind and rain pass, it will be a rainbow, and the official will invite you to eat something else." Zhang Xiaobao only looked a little official at this time, and he said in a suppressed voice before he changed his voice.
Motioning to the person next to him to help this person up, Zhang Xiaobao said to the village again: "Li Village, this official was ordered by the Holy Grace to come to be an official, but he doesn't know much about this place, and I hope that the village will help more." ”
At the same time, someone took the seal and pressed it on a piece of paper.
Li Cun was already stupid, he couldn't have imagined that a stabbing history would actually jump into the water to save people in person, and he was still a big child.
If you hadn't seen the traces of that seal, you wouldn't have believed what you said.
"Third master, the lord saved me, let me wear the clothes that can make people float, third master." The second person who was rescued by Zhang Xiaobao shouted excitedly to the village at this time, which meant that Li Cun agreed to come down.
Li Cun reacted at this time, and said respectfully to Zhang Xiaobao: "My lord, from today onwards, everything in the coastal village will be under the orders of the adults, but my lord, this Jili Prefecture is not stable, you should be more careful." ”
"I know." Zhang Xiaobao said when he heard this.
In the capital, Xingqing Palace set up a hot pot again, Li Longji sat on the main seat, his eyes swept over the people eating below, and said worriedly:
"I have asked Zhang Xiaobao, the former chief secretary of Baoxin County, and Wang Juan of the county to go to Jili Prefecture to take up their posts, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon, do you have anything to say?"
Li Longji thought of the dispute over there, although it was nominally under the control of the Tang Dynasty, it was not safe, so he was worried that something would happen to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and now he regretted it a little.
It was Bi Gou, Yao Chong, Liu Zhirou, and Zhang Shuo who ate the four people, and their minds were not on the hot pot, especially the old man Bi and the old man Yao, they followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan around, and they didn't eat any good things, and it didn't matter if they ate the clear water pot in front of them or not.
Hearing the emperor's words, the four of them stopped their movements at the same time and looked at each other, not knowing who would say yes.
Liu Zhirou saw Zhang Shuo come over, and didn't give any face, so she snorted coldly: "Hmph! Your Majesty, I don't know who you listened to to to send Xiaobao and Juan Juan to Jili Prefecture? There are many dangers there, but next to the Khitan, is it possible to want the juan to kill again? ”
This is actually directed at Zhang Shuo, although the Khitan is temporarily honest and a minister, everyone knows what is going on over there, and it is easy to raise troops if they are not careful.
Liu Zhirou is no longer a real official, and he is almost finished, but he was sent to Deyi Medical College before he finished, and stabilized the disease that is a major illness for others and a minor illness for medical school, which saved a life.
So he felt that he owed a great favor to the Zhang and Wang families, and wouldn't it be ungrateful if he didn't help?
Li Longji was asked by Liu Zhirou like this, his face was slightly unbearable, but when he thought that he had sent Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan over there, he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh and say, "Can Xiaobao and Juan Juan be in danger?" ”
At this time, he didn't say that Zhang Xiaobao, the chief bookkeeper, and Wang Juan, the county prince, everyone here understood what was going on, those two people were very special, and they couldn't be judged by their official ranks.
Just when Li Longji was embarrassed and regretted, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Sanshui County just now, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan flew pigeons to deliver a message when they were on the sea in Jili Prefecture, and urgently transferred 500 officials from the two counties of Sanshui Huayuan to go, and in addition, the capital also received news from Luzhou, and six ships were suddenly dispatched over there, big ships, called gunboats, and they were going up the coast under the banner of gunboats. ”
