Chapter 58: The Sea (Part II)

The exit of the tunnel is a small valley lined with steep cliffs made of white stones.

Directly ahead, there is a deep blue water.

The sun was about to set, and there were a few golden clouds in the sky in the distance.

Between the two cliffs, the deep blue water was ten or a hundred times wider than the river to the west of the village, no, a thousand times wider!

"Whoa...... Whoop ......"

I heard the sound of the sea.

Compared to the sound of the river, the sound of the sea is as empty, distant, and deep as the wind blowing through the sky.

Gauss walked ahead and said, "This is a very good ferry, but there is a reef in the water, and the nearby villagers are afraid to come here, and they don't know that there is a secret passage here." But don't worry, there are a lot of fish and shrimp here, as long as you don't have a lot of people, you can eat them for a long time. ”

I said, "Are the fish in the water?" How do I catch it? ”

Gauss was stunned for a moment and said, "Forget it, my weapon is still in the forest, the gun head is very useful, and it would be nice if there was a fishing net!" ”

I said, "So what now?" ”

Gauss said, "Just grab a little, I don't think you're prepared for ......."

We walked to the sea.

The cool sea breeze with a strange smell made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Gauss ran to the water's edge and saw a lot of shells and big bugs.

He happily said, "These white shrimp and sea crabs can also be eaten!" I'm going to catch a few more fish, your bag can fit in, right? ”

So saying, he jumped into the water.

I felt tight and said, "Don't you want to run!" ”

Gauss tossed a few times in the water and said, "Don't worry, I don't dare to go back now, and they won't let me go when I go back." ”

In a short time, Gauss caught a few large fish the thickness of his arm.

Then he said, "Next, I should follow you!" ”

I said, "What? You're going to follow me? To the village? Aren't you afraid that the people in the village will kill you? ”

Gauss said: "I believe that you are also a powerful person in the village, as long as you say not to kill, they will not kill me." ”

I said, "You're clever at that!" ”

We started walking back.

When I got back to the village, it was already dark. Everyone was anxiously waiting at the entrance of the village.

They were stunned when they saw me at the end of the deserted farmland with the centaur.

Then, it took me a lot of words to convince them not to kill the centaur who couldn't return home.

Grandpa said: "Even if it is an enemy, he is now a prisoner of Bihong, and others have no right to dispose of him." ”

Then, together with Uncle Sanchi, Dad tied up Gauss!

Gauss was amazed and shouted, "Hey, you can't do this! I also helped you find food! ”

No one paid any attention to him.

I said, "Don't worry, I promise they won't hurt you!" ”

Gauss said depressedly: "But they still regard me as an enemy!" ”

I said, "You know, the centaurs who have come here are all dead, and your ability to survive shows that we don't think of you as our worst enemy." ”

Gauss said, "Well, it's all because I believe in you too much...... I knew you minotaurs were so stubborn......"

I said, "When the drought passes, I'll let you go, I promise!" ”

Gauss said strangely: "How do you know? Oh, that old man was your priest, wasn't he? No wonder ......"

I said, "Just be wronged!" ”

Gauss said, "Well, I'm unlucky! I wanted to be the hero of the village, but I ended up being a captive of the Minotaurs......"

Under the guidance of my grandfather, the villagers boiled a big pot of fish, shrimp and crabs with tree bark, and everyone ate again.

Gauss was hungry all night.

The next day, I persuaded everyone to let Gauss lead the way back to the secret passage.

Everyone was skeptical, but it was the grandfather who came forward to say that they were moved.

It seems that Grandpa is still the most prestigious person in the village.

In the future, this seat should have been mine, however, I was going to give it up and go out for something more important......

The people of Vana no longer hesitate because they have received food.

It's just that everyone thinks that Gauss should be tied up.

I said, "Yesterday I was able to bring him back alone, don't you believe me?" ”

Only then did they feel reassured.

Dad and Uncle Sanchi still didn't follow, because they were too tired for the past two days.

And the people we set off, in addition to the prime of life in Wana Village and other villages, there were also elder brothers, Stone Elbow, Copper Head and a few hunting team uncles who went with us yesterday, and even a few little friends such as Kate.

Brother Patu wanted to go, but my grandfather and I stopped him.

Ian, as always, was silent and uninterested in getting involved, concentrating on the shamanic path.

It seems that he has always been like this, and he will always be like this......

We followed the road we had yesterday and soon reached that valley.

This time, we were well prepared.

Grandpa was well-informed and found a bunch of fishing tools, such as baskets and baskets made of branches that are rarely used in the following days, and leaky barrels.

When they arrived at the beach, everyone, including my brother, exclaimed.

"Wow! This is the sea? ”

"So much water!"

"Flatter than the prairie ......"

"So blue! No wonder they say the sea is salty! ”

They were so surprised that they forgot what they were here for.

Gauss said proudly: "It's just a small piece of the sea...... It's so narrow that if you go to our village, you'll be in the sea! ”

Someone immediately said, "How big?" Could it be bigger than the grassland? ”

Gauss said, "Prairie? What is a grassland? Grasslands, forests, mountains, plains, deserts, all combined, are not as big as the sea! ”

Someone immediately retorted: "Since it is so big and so big, and there is so much food, you centaurs still come to the grassland to plunder?" ”

Gauss also showed no weakness: "I said that it was the bandit group's doing, not us!" ”

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, I quickly interrupted them: "Don't bother! Hurry up and go back! Don't waste time here! Not to be discovered by other centaurs! ”

I was now the most prestigious of all, and even my brother would not oppose my decision, so they stopped talking.

But the rest is a bit of a problem.

After all, we minotaurs are used to hunting on the grassland, and we are not good at fishing at all, and we take the tools arranged by our grandfather, and we are clumsily fluttering in the seawater, and it is difficult to catch those big fish swimming around.

Some people gave up fishing, nostalgic for the smell of shells, crabs and shrimp, and simply stayed in the shallows to pick up those who were washed up by the water.

As a result, several unlucky ghosts appeared on the coast who were caught by crabs holding their fingers and tails and screaming.

Gauss took a rattan basket and caught a dozen big fish, but it made me and the others envious, but unfortunately, everyone was embarrassed to ask him what to do.

He didn't care about anything else, he was happy to catch himself, and said: "The fish here are too stupid, so easy to catch, it seems that no one has come for a long time, and they don't know the danger at all!" ”

Some people were upset when he said this, but we didn't care about seeing that he could pick up one or two big fish in one basket......

He saw that the fingers were pinched and the pain was unbearable, and he picked up the stone and smashed the crab, shouting, "Don't! Don't smash it! "I ran over to help.

Interestingly, he just pinched the hard shell of the crab and scratched it a few times, and the crab obediently released the pincers.

The rescued man looked at him with some embarrassment.

He smiled and said, "Be careful, avoid the two pincers and hold the back to catch crabs and shrimps!" ”

As he spoke, he bent down and held down his index finger against a crab that had just crawled past his hoof.

The crab struggled to swing its two large pincers, but could not reach his hand.

Then, he put his thumb under the crab's belly, and with a gentle pinch, he picked up the whole crab.

The crab waved its pincers proudly, but there was no longer a threat.

He smiled and threw the crab into an empty bucket and said, "Be careful, put the lid on, don't let it out." ”

The man who was caught was already stunned.

Gauss said again, "Do you see? ”

The man nodded.

I walked up and said, "Teach me how to fish!" ”
