The fishing boat drove downstream along the main road of the Mae Shui, and at noon the next day, Chen Bo and his son changed the direction of the boat and sailed into a winding river that stretched westward.

This fork is much narrower than the main channel, and the depth of the river is much shallower, Li Xiaodong can often see on the deck, there are a lot of craggy strange rocks, in the scouring river water to show a sharp corner, if the fishing boat accidentally hits it, it is very likely that the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Rocks that emerge from the surface of the water are easy to dodge, but the reefs hidden under the surface of the water can only be carefully avoided by the boatman's experience and experience.

From noon on the day he entered the fork in the river, Chen Bo no longer had time to drink with Li Xiaodong, he stayed in the cockpit almost sleeplessly, carefully steering the steer, avoiding reefs and rocks one after another.

At noon on the third day, Uncle Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he let his son Chen Shuisheng take the helm, and told him to try to drive the boat as slowly as possible, and he had to sleep for an hour or two.

However, in less than two hours, there was a sudden loud bang at the stern of the boat, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and the fishing boat still rubbed against the reef, slowing down.

Uncle Chen hurriedly put on his clothes, and together with Li Xiaodong and the others, he hurriedly came to the stern of the boat and looked at the water at the stern.

"Abba! It must have been when the propeller hit the stone when he was cornering!" Chen Shuisheng poked his head out of the cockpit and shouted anxiously.

In fact, there was no need for him to shout, Chen Bo also knew, because the loud noise just now was obviously the sound of metal colliding, and at this moment, the water was rolled up with muddy water, and it was only possible that the underwater propeller hit the underwater reef.

"What should I do? Do you want me to take a look underwater and see if the propeller is damaged?" asked Li Xiaodong.

Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "Don't look at it, with such a loud noise, the propeller must be broken, I'm afraid that even the propeller will be deformed, and this boat will not be able to drive." ”

Leng Ranbing frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle Chen, what should I do now?"

Chen Bo thought for a while and looked at the shore: "Don't panic, first dock the boat, through this jungle, there is a market town less than twenty miles away, and there are blacksmiths in the town." ”

As long as you find a blacksmith, you can naturally repair the damaged paddles and deformed screws, except for a delay for a while, it will not have much impact.

After hearing Uncle Chen say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Guanxi smiled again, looked at the verdant jungle on the bank, and then looked at the clear river water that was not very fast, and invited Shijie: "The scenery here is good, why don't we treat this place as a sunny beach, you can go to the forest to breathe, or you can swim in the water." ”

After hearing this, Shijie Yanyan smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't taken a shower for two days, and I don't feel well." ”

The fishing boat is not like a big steamer, especially Uncle Chen's fishing boat, the conditions are very simple, usually Uncle Chen's father and son take a bath, at most they wipe their bodies and pour a bucket of water, a big star like Shijie is naturally not adaptable.

She turned her head with a smile again, "Xiaodong, go down together and play with me, how about it?"

"Miss Shijie, Mr. Guanxi, I suggest that you do not go into the water, the waters in this area were polluted in the early years, and the locals basically do not go down this river for nothing, and those of us who fish never fish in this area. Chen Bo interjected.

After hearing this, everyone was puzzled, and looked at the water surface together, only to see that the water here is extremely clear, and you can see the rocks below the water in the not deep place, and there are schools of fish swimming back and forth, which does not look like it is polluted.

Li Guanxi asked: "Uncle Chen, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, there are no factories and no people, it is like a primeval jungle that has not been opened, where does the pollution come from?"

"I don't know very well, anyway, that's what the local people say, if you don't believe me, I'll let the aquatic catch a few fish for you. ”

After Chen Bo finished speaking, he beckoned to his son, and Chen Shuisheng immediately jumped down from the cockpit, went to find a fishing net, threw it into the water, and began the fishing operation.

There are a lot of fish in the waters in this area, and they are not afraid of people, and Chen Shuisheng easily dragged up several wild river fish as soon as the net was cast.

These fish are also unusually fat, most of them are catfish, stingrays and other endemic fish species in Southeast Asia, and the largest one can only be installed in a basin.

Uncle Chen squatted over, flipped all these fish over to inspect, and after looking at them once, he threw them all back into the water, stood up and said, "Aquatic, hit another net." ”

After hearing this, Chen Shuisheng walked to the top of the deck, used all his strength, threw the fishing net far away, and waited for a short time before he slowly retracted the fishing net.

In addition to a few fat catfish, there was also a half-human-long, white-spotted, sharp-mouthed, and fangy pike.

"Wow......"

Li Guanxi said in surprise: "Such a big pike, it's rare......" and looked well-informed, and said with a smile: "Now we have a mouth, the pike in Southeast Asia is a carnivorous fish species that specializes in eating small fish and shrimp, the meat of this fish is fatty and tender, the taste is excellent, and it is a very delicious fish." ”

"Mr. Guanxi, this fish can't be eaten. ”

Chen Bo took the round long-bodied pike in his arms with both hands, stepped forward and said, "You see, it should be the cause of pollution, this fish has mutated and is blind." ”

After hearing this, everyone went to look at it together, and sure enough, the two eyes of the pike had been albiconed, and there was no difference between black and white eyeballs like normal fish.

"As early as more than 20 years ago, there were often people here who came to fish, and I came here occasionally, but later, the fish here became more and more strange, sometimes the fish that came out did not have eyes at all, and sometimes there were strange fish with two fish connected together, and then later, the government issued a notice that the water quality in this area was polluted, and no one came here, and there was a village on the shore, which was also relocated. Chen Bo walked to the side of the boat and threw the dogfish he was holding into the water.

He bent down to pick up a rag and, as he wiped his hands, continued:

"In the early years, the government has been investigating the cause of the pollution, but it has not been able to find any name, and then it has been dismissed. I heard from the locals that they suspected that there might be some overseas research organization that sprinkled viruses in this area and experimented with people and the environment here, and some people said that it was some kind of nuclear radiation that polluted the environment here......"
