Chapter 49: The Fishman's Baby
When Ama mentioned the treasure of the fishman, the spirits of his companions were stunned, and several people took advantage of the light in Ah Hu's eyes to look for the treasures that the people at the bottom of the sea might have lost.
Kapok picked up a box on the ground, opened it, sniffed it, and hurriedly threw it to the ground, "Hey, it must be leftovers from the fish people, it smells bad!" ”
Shanglin picked up a black metal object, weighed it and put it down, and said regretfully: "These are machine parts, but unfortunately they are very heavy, and our spaceship can't bear it, otherwise it will definitely be useful to bring them back to my father!" ”
Ama found an object, she played with it with her hand, and the object emitted a brighter light than Ah Hu's eyes, and she excitedly shouted, "I picked up a glowing baby!" ”
Ah Hu closed his eyes, several people surrounded him, Wang Fan understood at a glance, "It's a flashlight!" We have it in our family! ”
"What's it for?" Kapok asked.
"This is still a question, of course it is for lighting! I think the undersea man will use a flashlight to look inside the machine when he repairs it! Wang Fan's tone was full of confidence, in terms of scientific and technological knowledge, he was undoubtedly the person who knew the most among the people present besides Ah Hu.
Shanglin and Kapok took turns playing with the flashlight, and they turned on the bright light to shine here and there, and they were very happy.
"Hey, this thing can shine wherever it goes, Shanglin, let's try it at the door, maybe it can shine into the sky!"
Kapok staggered to the door with a flashlight as she spoke, opened a crack in the door and shone outward. A lamppost shot into the dark sea and sky, the wind and rain fluttered in the light, shining on the surface of the sea, in a circle of light, only to see the sea waves chasing the waves.
"I can see that the farther this round beam of light shines, the bigger and darker it becomes, and the closer it shines, the smaller but brighter it becomes! So even if it could hit the sky, the light would be so faint that nothing could be seen. Uebayashi said that it was clear that he was very observant.
"Anyway, with this underwater man's flashlight, Ah Hu can use a lot less energy." Amma said happily.
Ah Hu praised: "Yes, Ama, this luminous body you found is very useful. ”
"Hey, Yama, it was you who found this treasure of the undersea man who should be kept by you, and when you return to the prairie, you can borrow it from me, I will choose a dark night in the city of Jiuxian to hold an exhibition, so that the people of the Misty Tang Kingdom can come to see this treasure of the undersea man." Kapok said.
Ama replied briskly, "Okay, but you'll have to give me half of the money you make from the exhibition." ”
The crowd laughed.
I searched the house and found nothing magical.
After waiting patiently for about an hour, the rain outside the house stopped, the wind subsided, and although the sky was cloudy, the sky was much brighter.
The crowd decided to leave the rickety undersea man's house immediately, as the strange smell emanating from the house was unbearable.
The colored cloth covering the top of the gondola gathers a pool of clear rainwater, like a small pool.
"Each of us had to fill our own jugs with water, and according to the Logbook, we had to fly a long way on the sea without any islands, and fresh water was extremely precious," Kabayashi said. ”
The hot air balloon ignited and suspended in the air, and as soon as everyone climbed into the gondola, Kapok suddenly jumped down again and said, "Hey, you guys wait for me for a while!" ”
Kapok ran into the house, and after a while, he hurried out, holding the portrait of the seaman in his hand.
He climbed on the gondola and rolled up the painting and said, "I will bring this painting back to Jiuxian City and hold an exhibition with the treasure in the hands of Yama, and I will definitely make a lot of money!" ”
Yama Zhengse said: "Kapok, you can't just think about making money, the people at the bottom of the sea are so ugly, if someone looks at your exhibition and is scared to death, you will be responsible!"
Kapok Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "It's okay!" When I arrive, I will post a statement outside the exhibition hall: If someone watches the underwater man die on the spot, it can only mean that this person is too timid to die, and it has nothing to do with this prince's exhibition. ”
There was a burst of laughter on the gondola, and to the sound of happy laughter, the hot air balloon lifted off and flew westward.
The sky was still cloudy, and the wind was cool.
Without sunlight to replenish energy, Ah Hu no longer acts as a thruster at the stern of the gondola. He sat in the stern of the boat and stretched out his electronic eyes to look at the sea.
The vast sea is rough and choppy.
Adjusting the flight altitude and finally finding the air flow blowing to the west, the gondola flew directly to the west under the traction of the hot air balloon.
After about two hours, the sun finally broke through the dark clouds and showed a smiling face from the western sky, and everyone was excited.
Soon, something even more exciting happened, Ah Hu found that an island had appeared in the foggy sky, and Ah Hu thought it was a large island.
Kabayashi said happily, "We were far off course because of the storm, but it was a blessing in disguise that we came across an island, and we spent the night on that island. Before the sun sets in the sea, we have to look for ice and fire stones in the water around the island. My father said that as long as there are ice and fire stones on the island, in the future, people can be sent by hot air balloons to settle on the island. In the future, we can use these islands as intermediate stations to take hot air balloon gondolas to travel between Chizhou and the savannah for business. ”
Kabayashi said that he would adjust the direction of the hot air balloon and fly towards the island.
Kapok said, "Hey, Shanglin, we can't just eat dry food, why don't we wait for me to fish, and you go to find Ice and Fire?"
Wang Fan immediately objected: "It's not good, I can't swim and even don't dive, I'm responsible for fishing!"
"I don't know how to dive, I'm in charge of making dinner tonight," Ama said. ”
Ah Hu volunteered: "I'm happy to go diving." ”
"It's great to have Ah Hu diving with us!" Shanglin said excitedly, "It's just a division of labor, Kapok Zi and I and Ah Hu dived to find the ice and fire stones, and Wang Fan and Yama were in charge of tonight's dinner." ”
Zhen'er said: "Hey, I can also fish, wait a while, I'll help Wang Fan catch a few big fish for you to eat!" ”
Kapok Zi smiled: "Hey, Zhen'er, Wang Fan had better stay away from the water when fishing, otherwise the big fish will see you and rush out of the water and swallow you in one gulp!" ”
Zhen'er immediately scolded: "Kapok, you bad fat man!" ”
The crowd laughed.
