Chapter II

"On the other side of the sea, there is a big snake!"

"Why don't you say the other side of the sky?"

"Do you know how big the sea is?"

In a small fishing village by the sea, Jiang Yun followed Jiang Qinling with a big bag on his back, nagging all the way.

Jiang Qinling acted as if he hadn't heard Jiang Yunheng speak at all, and walked forward by himself until he met a fisherman. "It's here!"

Jiang Yunheng rushed forward and glanced around. "Where?"

Jiang Qinling turned around and replied to the question: "Yunheng, go home!" ”

Jiang Yunheng's face sank. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Qinling tried to pat Jiang Yunheng on the shoulder like an elder brother, but was ruthlessly dodged, so he had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment. "There will be danger!"

Jiang Yunheng said angrily: "Isn't it dangerous for you to go?" ”

Jiang Qinling shook his head. "I'm different."

"What's the matter? You have more lives than me? ”

Jiang Qinling was choked and speechless, and explained in a low voice: "Mom said, I am my brother, and I want to protect you." ”

"Brother needs your protection?" Jiang Yunheng's expression suddenly became a little twisted. "It's awkward, although my mother is usually a big man, but I know that it is not easy for her to raise me as a woman and provide for me to go to college, and now her whereabouts are unknown, I can't sit idly by as long as I have a little conscience."

Jiang Qinling continued to persuade: "But it is also possible that what you said is right, my mother just went out to play, and did not go to sea, you may be able to wait for her when you go home." ”

"Mom, if she comes home, it's not like she doesn't have a key to open the door." Jiang Yunheng couldn't stand Jiang Qinling's mother-in-law, so he shouted directly: "Brother, can't you go to the sea to play?" Can't you experience summer vacation life? ”

Jiang Qinling hurriedly said: "But the sea is not like the land, there are many potential dangers, I am afraid of ......"

"You're afraid of a hammer." Jiang Yun glanced at Jiang Qinling, shook the big bag behind him, and steadied his back. "Let's just say it, what's next?"

Jiang Qinling really couldn't persuade Jiang Yunheng, so he had no choice but to give up and pointed to the fisherman's door in front of him. "If you want to go to sea, you have to take a boat, let's see if we can borrow a fishing boat from them."

Jiang Yun glanced at Jiang Qinling, walked to the fisherman first, and was about to reach out and knock on the door, but the door opened first, and a middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman walked out with a fishing net, and when he saw Jiang Yunheng at the door, he asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Jiang Yunheng immediately changed his appearance towards Jiang Qinling in front of others, and became very polite and lovely. "Hello uncle, we want to go to sea, do you have a fishing boat here?"

The middle-aged man steadied the fishing net on his shoulder. "You guys?"

"Hmm!" Jiang Yunheng turned his head, only to find that Jiang Qinling was still far away, so he pointed to that side. "Me and my brother!"

"There are fishing boats." The middle-aged man put on a smile that seemed to be smiling and stopped: "But ......"

"But what?"

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, not understanding the meaning.

Jiang Yunheng frowned at first, but after a while, he understood and asked tentatively. "How much do you get for this boat?"

The meaning was in place, the guests understood, and the middle-aged man smiled. "The sea is not as good as the river, it's hard to say if this boat can come back completely, it's not rented, it's only sold, it's just an old ship, if you really want to give 20,000 yuan!"

"Twenty thousand?" Jiang Yunheng's two eyes were about to pop out, and he subconsciously touched his purse, which was deflated, and the difference between the thickness of 20,000 yuan was not half a star.

"Huh!" The middle-aged man shook the fishing net again and said with a smile: "I know that you young men who are shouting to experience life, the sea is not so easy to experience, it is expensive and dangerous, so let's go back!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Jiang Yunheng hurriedly stopped him. "Wait uncle!"

The middle-aged man stood up and continued, "What's the matter with the young man?" ”

Jiang Yun pursed his lips and put down the big bag he was carrying and opened it. "We must go out of this sea, you can do it, see if I still have some valuable money, take it all, and we will make up for it when we come back."

"Ouch, young man, what do I want you to do with all this?" The middle-aged man shook his head and was about to leave again, this time he was stopped by Jiang Qinling, so he smiled again: "This young man looks calmer, since you have no money, it just so happens that I see that you have never been to the sea, hurry up and persuade your brother, don't go to this excitement." ”

Jiang Qinling didn't answer the man's words, and only handed over a small bag. "Are these enough?"

The man took the bag and opened it, turned out a stack of banknotes, looked at the thickness, more than 20,000, no less, and instantly changed his smiling face. "Young man, do you have to go to sea?"

Jiang Qinling nodded. "Yes!"

"Okay!" The man suddenly began to look at Jiang Qinling carefully. "But I said, young man, don't blame the uncle, I didn't warn you in advance, the sea is really not as good as the ground, potential dangers are everywhere, if you are unlucky and encounter a big storm or something, you may not be able to come back safely."

Before Jiang Qinling could answer, Jiang Yunheng came over first. "Thank you, uncle, we don't go to sea to play, there are very important things, we will be careful."

"It's useless to be careful!" The man wrapped a stack of bills back in his pocket and beckoned the two to follow him. "I'm a fisherman, since you two have to go to sea, I'm not the only fisherman here, I don't sell boats here, others will sell them to you, I can only wish you good luck!"

After collecting the money and doing things efficiently, the man took the two brothers directly to the two fishing boats parked on the shore, pointed to one of them and said to the two: "This one was used by my son before, and now he doesn't need it to go inland to do business, so he will sell it to you both." ”

Jiang Yunheng hurriedly answered: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

The man smiled and said, "No thanks, you gave the money." ”

The middle-aged man handed over the boat to the brothers and went to work on himself, Jiang Yunheng climbed onto the boat, just in time for a wave of waves to shake the hull of the boat, causing him to almost fall. "Ouch I'll go, so shake!"

"Be careful!" Jiang Qinling also followed the boat after giving an order.

Jiang Yunheng didn't stand firm for a while, so he directly found a place to sit down and asked Jiang Qinling: "You can drive the boat, right?" ”

Jiang Qinling blinked unconsciously: "No!" ”

"You!" The answer was unexpected, Jiang Yunheng pointed at Jiang Qinling and didn't know what to say, so he quickly stood up and opened his voice and shouted to the man who hadn't gone far: "Uncle, wait, don't go yet!" ”

The man heard the two shouting and turned back. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yunheng laughed with him. "That, uncle! Please! ”

The man said, "What do you say?" ”

Jiang Yun slammed his mouth. "Well, neither of us can sail."

The man smiled and said, "You two still want to go to sea if you don't know how to sail?" ”

Jiang Yunheng sold obediently. "Isn't there no way to do it in an emergency, uncle, you can do me a favor!"

"Gotta get it!" The man responded. "You two give enough money, and I won't go to sea in the past two days, so I'll take you on a trip, say, where do you two want to go? But first, I'm not going to go far away. ”

Jiang Yunheng was completely confused about where to go, so he could only look at Jiang Qinling and wait for him to give an answer, but Jiang Qinling's answer was not much better than his complete ignorance, and he actually asked the man. "Do you know any lesser-frequented islands in this area?"

"That's what the lad said." The man looked at Jiang Qinling like an uninformed child. "Out of this sea are desert islands, who will have nothing to do with those places!"

Jiang Qinling thought about it for a while and changed his words. "So, is there an island that you don't usually dare to approach? Snake-related. ”

"Pit Island?" The man subconsciously said these three words, and his face showed some horror. "You mean Pit Island?"

Jiang Qinling didn't answer and continued to ask: "Where is the island?" ”

The man hurriedly persuaded: "Ouch, young man, don't ask, you can't go there." ”

Jiang Qinling didn't care what the man said, and continued to ask, "What is on the island?" ”

The man said: "I don't know what's on that island, I know that the island is different from other seas, the wind and waves are non-stop all year round, listen to the older generation, there are monsters on that island, they will eat people, and no one dares to go at all." ”

Jiang Qinling asked again: "Where is the island?" ”

The man reluctantly replied, "The island is very far away, and this fishing boat is afraid that it will take two or three days to get there." ”

Jiang Qinling nodded. "We'll go there."

The man's face was full of horror. "You're going to Pit Island, but I'm not going, I'm not going."

Jiang Qinling was about to speak, Jiang Yunheng quickly stood up and covered his mouth, and laughed with the man. "Oh, uncle, what age is this, you can't believe in those feudal superstitions, monsters or something, there must be no monsters, it's just that the wind and waves are stronger, you see that you have also accepted us, so send us a trip."

"Money?" The man took out the cloth bag from his arms and threw it back to the two of them. "Give it back to you, I won't sell the boat to you, don't let your parents come to me when something happens to you, I can't afford to pay for it."

Jiang Yun took the cloth bag and got off the boat, and continued to smile with the man. "Uncle, we really have something urgent to go, you can do it!"

The man sighed and shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to send you there, it's just that I can't go somewhere else."

"All you have to do is send us around." At the critical time, Jiang Qinling spoke. "You taught me to drive the boat on the way, and we walked the rest of the way by ourselves."

What Jiang Qinling said did not endanger the man, the man was a little shaken, but he still hesitated, Jiang Yunheng hurriedly continued to coax. "My brother is right, when you go, tie your own boat to the back, and you will send us to that neighborhood, and when we are done, we will go by ourselves and you will come back."

"This ......" The man hesitated, but when he saw Jiang Yun pushing back the cloth bag in his arms, the greed in his heart finally prevailed. All right! But I'll send you to the neighborhood without taking a single step. ”
