Woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, the snoring under the bed did not stop, she lay down anxiously and gasped for a few breaths, and found that half of her body was numb, Haizhu turned over and lay flat, listening to the sound of the waves and slowly calmed down, her mood calmed down, and sleepiness also came up.

*

"Wake up so early? Did you sleep well last night? Han Ji asked under the boat.

Haizhu nodded, and when the cook got up to cook, she also got up, sitting outside the cabin blowing the cool sea breeze, watching the sun climb out of the sea little by little.

"Going?" She asked.

"Well, I'll tell you."

"Victory." Haizhu clenched his fists to cheer him up.

Han Ji smiled, turned around and walked towards the building boat that was about to raise its sails.

Twenty ships set sail one after another, their bows breaking through the calm sea, carrying thousands of soldiers to the new battlefield.

Shen Sui and Dr. Mu also followed the boat, Haizhu stood on the boat and waved to them, watching the sails go away, she got off the boat and went to the island to wander. The wounded and disabled generals were left behind, and there were also 200 able-bodied soldiers, half sentry and half patrolling.

Haizhu walked on the island for a while and then left, and she got on the boat again, and asked the old helmsman to raise the sails and patrol around the island. The smell of blood in the sea has dissipated, the tide rose last night, and the underwater things were swept away by the tide, and the sharks and whales that came by the smell yesterday are gone.

The sun rises in mid-air, and the sea is dazzlingly sparkling, and the sea is unobstructed, and the mist of the distant sea can be faintly seen shining in the daylight.

Haizhu pedaled down the wooden ladder, walked to the bottom warehouse to see that there were still two fishing boats, and she called the old helmsman to help push the boats into the sea.

"I'll go out to sea with my fishing boat and I'll be back in the evening." She said.

The old helmsman did not stop him, he had seen Haizhu's ability underwater, and when she and the dolphin teamed up to hit the boat in the sea and dragged the bandits into the sea, he watched from the boat.

The fishing boat fell into the water and smashed the waves more than one person high, the old helmsman went down the wooden ladder, Haizhu jumped smoothly on the fishing boat, she put down the pointed axe to raise the sails, and told the old helmsman to continue patrolling around the island.

"Don't run far, you must come back before the sun sets." The cook confessed uneasily.

"Okay." The sea pearl answered, the sails puffed up, and the fishing boat left the island.

In order to reassure the people on the island, she first moved around where she could see the island, went to the sea to estimate the time and swam up again, and so on several times before holding the sail and walking away.

A column of water rose on the surface of the sea, and the column of water rose to the top of the water to become a mist, and a huge whale swam out of the sea to breathe, and only the fishing boat with its exposed nostrils and frontal bones supported by sea beads was the size of the fishing boat. She watched from a distance, and the skin color of the whale was similar to that of the deep sea, and when it came to the clear sea, the dark blue was particularly striking.

The giant whale was gone, Haizhu immediately jumped into the sea, looking from the sea, the huge size was formidable, the boat carrying four or five hundred people might be only half as long as it, and the thickness was even more unattainable, she weighed it, if she swam to it, it should be just a small fish.

With a movement in her heart, Haizhu swam forward, and the flow of the sea accelerated her speed, just as the giant whale was feeding, giving her a chance to get closer.

The giant whale was followed by a number of fish, some of which were even lying on top of it, and the approach of Haizhu was unobtrusive, and she dared to reach out and touch it, the skin was hard and slippery.

She became an uninvited passenger, lying on the skin of the giant whale and swimming with it, but only in an instant she was washed down by the sea, and the whale swam faster, and she was thrown off. There were also a dozen or so unlucky fish with her, they were quite ugly and speckled, Haizhu looked at it twice and stopped thinking about catching them, and swam to the bottom of the sea instead.

The color of the water is getting darker and darker, and the bottom is not visible when viewed from above, and the bottom is dark, and there are no reefs and corals that are common in shallow waters. Haizhu changed direction and floated up, and a familiar fish swam in front of her, similar to the grouper, but dozens of times larger than the grouper she caught in the shallow sea, and this fish was almost longer than her.

Haizhu stared at it seriously, it was a grouper, she did not hesitate to raise the pointed axe to swim towards it, the other party noticed the movement and swam to the bottom of the sea, she hurriedly poked at the fish's tail, the pointed axe stuck on the fish's tail, and the fish led people down quickly.

Chapter 90: Haizhu, the old turtle comes to the dock every day to find you

Being dragged by a fish is much faster than swimming on her own, Haizhu clutches the wooden handle of the pointed axe, and the man jumps with the fish, and his eyes are not idle, Taking the opportunity to look at the deep ocean.

The big squid who was frightened and fled in a hurry, A big fish with a blue and purple back swinging its tail changed direction, Haizhu looked back, and the fish with shiny skin she had seen was another, that is, a bonito swimming with a shark.

The wooden handle touched the reef, and Haizhu turned around, and what came into view was a reef, which had reached the bottom of the sea. She looked up, and there was a faint light shining through, and the bottom of the sea was not dark, probably due to the influence of the blue-black reef and sediment on the bottom of the sea, and it was dark from above. The depth of the seabed was shallower than she had estimated, the water was blue-gray, and she could see the shoes on her feet when she looked down, but from a distance, it was foggy, as if the bottom of the sea was foggy, and the visibility was very poor.

Haizhu pulled the pointed axe from the tail of the big grouper, and when she reached the bottom of the sea, she couldn't drag it even if she killed it. The big grouper took the opportunity to slip away, and she left the place that smelled of blood. She swam through the crevices in the reef and saw a bright yellow fish at the bottom of the reef, a very bright bright yellow, with black spots in it. Swimming a little further, a cluster of fan-shaped corals swayed slowly with the current, and the thin indigo leaves were as if they had been pressed out of a wooden plank.

Haizhu took out a pointed axe and knocked it on the base of the coral, and the sound of bangbang attracted four or five fish, she glanced at it, pried off the fan-shaped coral and left.

The fish at the bottom of the sea was curious, and when they saw that she was not threatening, they followed leisurely.

The sea beads stirred the bottom of the sand, and there were no crabs hidden underneath. Circumventing a circular reef, she was about to go downstream, when she saw two emperor ribbon fish fighting directly below, probably eating each other.

The short fish head is like an old man's face, the head is short and the mouth is upturned, and the flat body has a red fin, Haizhu quietly left, and a few fish that followed her looked at it twice and hurried to follow.

"You're not afraid that I'm going to kill you." Haizhu raised the pointed axe in her hand, cut four long seaweeds at the bottom of the water and swam back, and after the two emperor ribbon fish were divided, she swam to the bottom of the sea close to the fish's tail, raised the pointed axe and stabbed it.

The few fish that followed her to watch the excitement scattered in a hurry, and disappeared into the reef in a blink of an eye.

Haizhu dodged the attack, and the seaweed knotted the defeated emperor ribbon fish, carried it on his body, and then drew his pointed axe and swam with the tail of the fish.

The injured emperor ribbon fish did not chase it, Haizhu looked down, dragging the heavy tail of the fish and slowly swimming to the surface of the sea with the fan-shaped coral.

The light in the sea gradually brightened, and when Haizhu was tired of swimming, she unloaded her strength and let the ocean current carry her for a while, and when she looked up, she saw five floating mountains in front of her.

Five adult killer whales float vertically in the water, sleeping quietly and vertically, their bodies seemingly standing still, looking like a large mountain floating in the sea from a distance.

Haizhu was pushed by the current, she looked like an ant in front of them, she was wary at first, but when she found that they were indifferent to her arrival, she excitedly dragged the emperor ribbon fish up and down. The smooth body, the powerful tail fin, the strong body, the well-defined black and white, the two spots of white on the forehead are like two eyes, and the oval shape looks like a smile.

She was having enough fun, and was about to leave with the emperor ribbon fish, when she caught a glimpse of a black shadow moving, she turned her head, the killer whale closest to her didn't know when she opened her eyes, and she didn't know how long she had been looking at her, and a strange feeling rose in her heart, and her movements might have been watched by it. While she was observing it, it might be trying to bite her. Haizhu was suffocated in her heart, at this time she became a fish on the chopping board, she didn't dare to move when it stared at her, and slowly let go of the imperial ribbon fish in her arms, and the long ribbon fish less than her height fell to the bottom of the sea, and she also followed her body lightly.

A light birdsong sounded in the water, and four other killer whales opened their eyes one after another, their tail fins moved, and the sea pearls were enclosed.

"My life is at stake!" Haizhu wailed in her heart, she was disturbed by the water waves and couldn't stabilize her body, like a fallen leaf swaying around, she regretted that she was too curious, just like the few fish encountered at the bottom of the sea, whether they are dead or alive depends on the mood of the other party.

Five killer whales made various calls around the pearl, and then they swam out to the surface with her, and the various marine fish that heard their voices fled in all directions.

Suddenly seeing the daylight, Haizhu tried to open her eyes wide, and the water in her hair flowed through her eyes, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. Seeing the five killer whales leave, she hurriedly swam in the direction of the boat, climbed into the boat, and the crisp seabird chirping echoed in her ears, and the five killer whales did not go far.

She hoisted the sails away in shock, recalling the brief moment when her body was out of her control, and her heart beat louder and louder. She held the broken coral, which was the killer whale swimming too fast, the coral was broken in half under the impact of the sea, she raised her face to squint at the sun, carefully feeling the hot pain on the flesh slowly fade, until there was a mottled halo in front of her eyes and she closed her eyes.

The sea is too mysterious, and the danger in it is no less than that of the land where humans live, Haizhu stroked her chest and sighed, she should be in awe of the underwater world if she has a plug-in, yesterday's human blood was dizzy, and she dared to approach the giant under the sea today.

The sun in the sky was slowly receding, and the people on the ship sat in the shadows under the sails, their messy hair dried like a mess of grass, and their clothes like pickles.

The island was in sight, and Haizhu cheered up to talk to the old helmsman and the cook who were full of concern for her, and she got on the boat, took a hot bath, changed into dry clothes, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Wake up from sleep, and when you wake up completely, it's already dusk.

"It's time to eat, I came to call you at noon, you talked nonsense in a daze, and poured you a bowl of medicinal juice to sleep peacefully." Aunt Zhang, the cook, put a bowl of porridge on the table and said, "Fortunately, Dr. Mu left two packets of medicine for convulsion, you were still frightened yesterday, so you quickly drank the porridge, and I will go and boil another bowl of medicine." ”

Haizhu shook her head, "Did I talk nonsense when I slew?" ”

"I can't wake up when I shout at you, my eyes are half-closed and half-open, and I can't sit up." Aunt Zhang poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, and said babblingly: "I am an old woman who is scared when she sees murder and bloodshed, you were like a heartless wood yesterday, your cavity is full of guts, you don't avoid sharks when they bite the corpse, and you dare to run to the island when it's dark." Seeing you alive this morning, I thought you were more scary than the bandits, but I didn't expect you to be scared and only reacted today. ”

Haizhu drank the water in two sips, covered her head and pondered for a moment, took a bowl out to eat in the old woman's loud voice, and poured another bowl of bitter soup into the rice bowl.

The twenty building ships that went to suppress the bandits did not return, and the soldiers on the island tightened their strings and strengthened their patrols.

Haizhu slept a lot during the day, and couldn't sleep in bed at night, she put on a sheet and walked out of the cabin to sit outside, the sea was dark, and the tide under the ship was also dark and heavy. She looked at the starry sky, then looked at the deep sea, and made a decision in her heart, from now on she will no longer set foot in the deep sea, no longer gamble on her own safety, the ocean is huge, boundless, bottomless, she is wandering at the bottom of the sea all her life and can not measure it completely.

The shallow sea near the shore has allowed her to have no worries about food and clothing.

In the next five days, Haizhu no longer lifted the boat to go to sea, she stayed on the boat honestly, practiced a few moves taught by Dr. Mu when she was bored, or cast a line to sit on the boat to fish, and pondered and cooked food with Aunt Zhang.

Han Ji returned by boat with his troops, and the group left on the island after a short rest for a day, and the middle of May was coming, and the typhoon season was coming, and if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.

When he came, there were 21 ships and 8,000 soldiers, and after six or seven days of fighting, nearly 1,000 people were missing, and four ships were sunk, and even the major general who led the troops was wounded.

Han Ji was stabbed in the back, he could only lie on his stomach when he slept, he lost weight in a few days at sea, but his spirit was excellent, this battle cut down most of the bandits on the sea, and the foreign pirates who muttered and spoke bird language also killed a lot, and if the rest didn't escape quickly, he could kill them all.

After a day at sea, he arrived at the island where the sailors were stationed at dusk, and the people on the island beat drums happily to greet him, and Admiral Han laughed and held a celebration banquet on the island that night, which was lively until the second half of the night.

Haizhu also drank some wine, drank slightly drunk and went to sleep, and had a good sleep, and it was already three poles of the sun when he woke up.

"I'm going to look for you, are you sleeping?" Han Ji met her on the road and said, "My father is going home, let's go back together." ”

"Second brother, I'm here to quit, I want to go back, and when I get to the dock, I'll take a merchant ship back to Yongning." Haizhu said.

The smile on Han Ji's face paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at her, "So anxious? I will also go over in a few days, you and Shen Sui will live in the house, and we will go back together when the time comes. ”

Haizhu refused, "I've been away from home for too long, and I want to go back." ”

"Okay then." Recalling the days of training at Yongning Wharf, Han Ji was a little dazed, and his thoughts turned back from the bloody battlefield on the sea, and it was clear that it was only a few days, and the peace and happiness of the past seemed to have passed for many years.

When he arrived at the boat, Admiral Han beckoned Haizhu to sit on his head, "I missed you last night, and there will be rewards for returning victorious, Shen Sui will be promoted to a general, and your second brother will also have a reward from the emperor, what do you want?" Silver? Or buy a house in the city? ”

"I didn't make much effort, so I went into the sea to catch some poisonous jellyfish octopus, which can be completely replaced by arsenic/frost, I am not meritorious, and I will not be rewarded." Haizhu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Before I went shopping to buy things, everything was covered by the General's Mansion, and then the second brother took it to Yongning for me." ”

Admiral Han glanced at his son and said, "You are sensible and don't take credit, but it is nonsense to say that you don't make a contribution, your fame is useless to you, and you can't lose money to you, Han Cheng, give the girl two hundred taels of silver." ”

The old butler went out for a trip, and then filled a box with twenty ingots of gold and handed them to Haizhu.

"Take it, you deserve it." Han Ji spoke.

Shen Sui also nodded secretly, and Haizhu took it and held it in his hand.

When the wharf arrived, there happened to be a merchant ship docked, Haizhu got off the ship and got on the boat again, standing on the board of the ship and waving to the people on the shore with a smile, "Go back to Yongning and go to me, I will invite you to dinner." ”

The ship sailed in the middle of the day, and the merchant ship arrived at Yongning Wharf after it was dark, and others had to line up to check their household registration, Haizhu brushed her face in the past, and the guards beckoned her to let her go at a glance.

"Haizhu, wait." Mao Xiaoer called people, "You come early tomorrow morning, you are not here these days, there is a turtle wandering around your boat every day, and I don't know if it is your turtle." ”

Chapter 91: A Turtle's Careful Thoughts

At night, the market is still lively, the grain shops are closed early, the lanterns are hung high in the tavern restaurants, and the men pushing wooden carts are squatting on the side of the road by the light, chewing beans in their mouths, and they are always on the lookout for the men who come out of the tavern with their legs crooked.

Haizhu walked by the street, and the old man who was shaking a big fan to drive away mosquitoes accosted her and asked her if she could take the car, "Which alley do you live in?" Ten pennies will be delivered to your doorstep. ”

"I'm here to eat." Haizhu turned into Jiubei Restaurant, and when she entered the door, she saw the shopkeeper Zhang sitting behind the counter, and she went over to say hello: "Business is not bad." ”

"Yo! I haven't seen you in a few days, why did this point come out? ”

"I just came back from a trip, is there any porridge? Let someone bring me a bowl of porridge and stir-fry a plate of choy sum. ”

The shopkeeper Zhang beckoned to call a man, and after a while, he brought a bowl of porridge over, The porridge boiled tonight is shredded porridge with green vegetables and chicken, The chicken has been cooked, and it slid into the throat without chewing in the mouth.

Haizhu finished eating a bowl of porridge with a plate of vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, settled the bill, borrowed a lantern, and left with a heavy wooden box.

The doors of the people in the alleys were closed, and occasionally a little talk leaked out of the windows, and the old cat that roamed at night quietly climbed over the wall, and stood at the head of the wall and looked condescendingly at the people walking on the road.

"Knock knock" twice, Haizhu shouted through the crack in the door: "Third uncle, come and open the door for me, I'm back." ”

There were several doors opening the house one after another, Dongzhu strode out barefoot, and she saw the person walking in clearly in the light, and rushed over to hug the person with a shout.

"Milk, you haven't slept yet?" Haizhu touched Dongzhu's hair, held down Fengping, who was pulling her to jump and jump, and said, "Okay, okay, you two are going to drag me down." ”

"Why did you come back so late? Have you eaten? There is still hot water in the pot, you take a bath first, and I will make a fire to cook a bowl of noodles for you. Grandma Zi pulled her cloth shoes and walked to the kitchen.

"Don't be busy, I'll come back from dinner at the restaurant." Haizhu yawned and said, "Let's sleep first, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll go take a bath." ”

"Big sister!" Chaoping shouted from the bed, "You come in, come in." ”

"What are you doing in here?" Haizhu walked into the house with a lantern and saw him standing on the bed naked, she lowered the lantern and laughed at him for not being ashamed.
