When he and Shang Yunxiang agreed on the plan, Lin Bei did not feel relieved that the task was completed.

On the contrary, he only felt that his heart was extremely heavy, as if a thousand pounds of weight were weighing on it.

He glanced out the window, where the young figure was still standing outside, waiting for them to discuss sword-forging.

Sometimes he is very envious of Chen Xi, people like him who don't know anything and can live in the sun are better, and they don't have to bear such a big sin.

Lin Bei remembered what the Lord said before-

This generation is moving forward in the darkness just to gain light for the next generation.

Lin Bei sighed, a pale smile on his face.

……

At half past four in the morning, the sky was still shrouded in night, and the dock of Yunmeng Harbor was already lively.

After the crystal lantern transformed from the emperor Ling Yuan of the sword country, faintly illuminated the faintly busy figure on the seaside, there were more than 100 fishing boats parked on the wharf, on many boats, you can see the busy figure of fishermen, with the sound of sword strokes gradually sounded, the fishing boats left the port.

The fishing boat relies on the sword as a way to propel, so the sword on both sides of the hull, driven by the swordman, will make a loud sound when it is about to enter the water, the locals call it a sword stroke, if the sound of the flying sword entering the water is smooth and crisp, full of rhythm, it means that there will be good luck, on the contrary, the sound of the sword is rapid or violent, you need to find a swordsmith to repair it.

Li Changsheng drove an ordinary wooden-hulled fishing boat, slowly drove the boat sword, and rowed into the water.

The moment the bow of the ship crashed into the sea, a wide wave broke underneath, and the sound of sword strokes was steady and crisp, probably to go lucky.

Standing on the bow of the boat, he couldn't help but laugh, wasn't he lucky, his son Shangyu was able to get the favor of the sword-casting master Wei Gong, and he could also serve as the manager of the Yunmenggang branch, which they never dreamed of.

Just as he was about to set sail, the hull of the ship suddenly trembled, and a figure fell from the sky, almost lifting him out.

Li Changsheng's feet shook for a moment, and then stabilized his body.

Across from her stood a girl in a short red skirt.

He was a little angry at the other party's reckless behavior, and his face immediately became gloomy, "Girl, what are you doing here?" Almost didn't throw me overboard! ”

"Boss Yu, I want to go fishing with you, you just treat me as a tourist, can you give me a ride? How about I give you money regardless of the outcome? ”

Listening to her accent, it really doesn't look like a local.

"Boring." Li Changsheng threw down this sentence, picked up a pair of oars from the side, and made a gesture to drive people away.

"150 Heavenly Dao Coins." The young woman took a step back, shrunk her head, and held her hands in front of her.

The oars stopped in the air, but they didn't fall.

Originally, Li Changsheng didn't want to hurt her, but just scared and scared her and told her to leave quickly, but who knew that she would start the price.

"I really don't understand what you city people are thinking," Li Changsheng shook his head, didn't speak again, and turned around to concentrate on driving the boat.

The girl in the back grinned, then held her sword and sat down on a small stool from the side.

Li Changsheng didn't have the time to care about her, and sailed the boat out quickly.

This wooden-hulled ship, 7 meters long and 2 meters wide, can be regarded as light, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and it cannot withstand strong winds and waves.

The boat was like an arrow from the string, breaking through the waves, and he had to find a good spot before the others arrived, and if he was left behind, he would probably have to pick up some of the rest of the others.

Generally speaking, retail investors like Li Changsheng do not have any good boats, and can basically only fish within 10 to 20 kilometers of the offshore water, and it is not safe to go far, and the far sea belongs to some large fishing chambers of commerce, and they have large ships and professional distant-water fishing fleets.

And they pull the net to stop the fish, and only a small part of the fish and shrimp will leak from the front.

From the perspective of income, they also want to take the lion's share, fishermen like Li Changsheng and others are just used to earn some cash.

He goes to sea for less than half a year, and most of them still raise some sea cucumbers, shrimp and crabs at home.

In the corner of Li Changsheng's eyes, the girl behind him seemed to have never seen the sea, and she was squinting her eyes to enjoy the sea breeze at the moment.

As if sensing his gaze, the woman in red smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth, like white and flawless pearls.

"My name is Lai Shiyu, please advise."

"Don't dare," Li Changsheng shifted his gaze away and continued to look at the black sea in the distance, "You sit firmly on your own, it's easy to get seasick on the boat for the first time, and if you fall, I have to spend effort to save you." ”

“……”

"I'm not saying you, girl, if you want to eat fish, just go to the fish market and buy it, why bother to follow me to suffer, fishing is not a fun thing."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about that." Lai Shiyu smiled, her eyes bent into the moon, "Fish boss, I heard from the local people that it is better to go to an ordinary fisherman's house to eat fish, and if I can catch some fish later, can you help me get it?" ”

Li Changsheng glanced back at her, "You can catch it first, I'll be busy later, but I don't have time to teach you." ”

Lai Shiyu stuck out her tongue, thinking that this bad old man was really a stone that was not easy to get along with.

"Now most of the people who go out to sea to fish are outsiders, which is too tiring, and the locals have gone to engage in farming or changed careers." Li Changsheng told her that there are about 100 fishing boats on the wharf of Yunmenggang, which are basically operated by outsiders, and less than 20% of the local fishermen.

"Only those of you who have never been out to sea do you think fishing is a novelty."

Li Changsheng shook his head.

Lai Shiyu straightened her skirt to the middle, and then leaned forward, now that the wind and waves were a little stronger, she somewhat realized what Li Changsheng meant by seasickness just now.

"If it's so hard, why don't you hire another person? Old man. ”

“……”

Li Changsheng's face stiffened for a second, and then explained, now skilled workers are very difficult to recruit, and the price is expensive, it costs at least 100 days to hire a day, and when he earns the most a day now, it is only four or five hundred, sometimes he encounters bad luck, one or two hundred is normal, and it is really not cost-effective to hire another worker.

As the two men talked, the fishing boat got farther and farther away from the pier, the waves on the sea gradually increased, and the lights on the shore gradually became blurred.

Twenty minutes later, they rounded a hill to the northeast and entered a bay surrounded by the mountain shore, and by the faint light of the sky, Li Changsheng cast the first net of the day.

The "guy" he fished was the most ordinary trawl net, with two 200-meter-long hemp ropes tied to each end of the net, and two 30-pound water dividers tied to each of the two hemp ropes to keep the fishing net balanced underwater.

Throwing nets, knotting ropes, and then continuing to drive the boat forward, Li Changsheng's movements were completed in one go, and the hemp ropes wrapped around the wooden stakes on both sides of the boat were loosened under the traction of the fishing nets and submerged in the water.

"I'll find a better place to park the boat for you later......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Changsheng's face changed slightly.

I don't know if it was because he was dazzled, but at that moment, by the faint light, he seemed to see a huge black shadow swimming under the boat.
