Haizhu nodded, now that the killer whale group had left, she beckoned and shouted to Qi Laosan to set off first before the tide receded.

"Haizhu, you are a little later, and we will go together later." The fisherman standing on the edge of the bay spoke, and he looked out to sea and said, "I'm also curious about the black-skinned whale that can blow suona." ”

Haizhu jumped on the bow of the boat, she patted the two masts, and said, "I have two sails, and you can't keep up with me." ”

Qi Laosan quickly pulled out the anchor, jumped on the boat with the anchor, the boat was unrestrained, and floated to the shore along the strong road, he and Haizhu paddled the boat and slowly sailed out of the bay.

Dongzhu stood on the pier and watched the ship on the sea raise its sails, the sails agitated, pushing the boat to sail quickly towards the island, she pulled the wind and tide to pry the oysters.

"Dongzhu, what are your sister and your third uncle looking for at sea? This has been the case since before the forbidden sea, leaving early and returning late with an empty boat. A man who often buys pancakes asked tentatively.

The people around him pricked up their ears, the boats in the bay were all counted, and the strangeness between Haizhu and Qi Laosan had already been noticed, but because of Haizhu's identity, no one dared to ask. Second, Haizhu has also contributed to the benefits of fishermen, and they are willing to pretend to be blind and deaf, but it does not mean that they are not curious.

Feng Ping and Chaoping subconsciously held their hands nervously, Dongzhu's eyes rolled, she mysteriously looked at Mrs. Hou behind the person, everyone followed her eyes, and subconsciously avoided Mrs. Hou's shrewd and smiling eyes, and there was a guess in their hearts.

"Grandmother, they're all looking at you." Longevity doubts.

Mrs. Hou chuckled, and when Dongzhu walked to her side, she reached out and patted the little girl's shoulder, without asking anything.

Dongzhu shrank his shoulders weakly and subconsciously explained his words.

"She's a smart girl." Mrs. Hou took her grandmother back first and said, "You pry the oysters and go to help Changsheng." ”

The people on the wharf are scattered, the fishermen go to the street to buy dry food to go out to sea, and the rest of the people spread along the long coastline to pick up the colorful conch and clams on the beach, which can also be exchanged for broken copper plates in jewelry shops or sewn into money bags.

Changsheng picked up an empty snail and blew it in his mouth, he pointed to the ship at sea and said, "My little aunt picked up the turtle and left. ”

In fact, otherwise, the old turtle was afraid that Haizhu would drag it onto the boat again, and it would go to the sea before dawn, and Haizhu came over and pounced.

At low tide, the old turtle surfaced and looked at the island from afar, and when he heard the boat released on the pier, it quietly sank again. When the golden sunlight fell directly into the bottom of the sea, the light on the bottom of the sea became bright, and the old turtle went upstream from the bottom of the sea, climbed onto the island and lay on the wet beach to bask in the sun.

At this time, Haizhu's boat had arrived at the cliff cave, and she and Qi Laosan lit the lantern and climbed the rock wall, starting a new day of busyness.

The young birds on the top of the cave chirped, and the mother swallow flew vigilantly in the hole, and when the group of swallows foraging outside fluttered their wings and came back, Haizhu and Qi Laosan should leave, otherwise they could be pecked all over their heads.

"I picked a little more today than I did yesterday." Stepping on the plank, Qi Laosan first looked around the water vigilantly, he took out the weighing rod and hung the bamboo basket and weighed it, saying: "The weight of the bamboo basket is two catties and eight taels." "Give half to Haizhu, he can get four taels of one catty, and if he sells it, it will be more than forty taels of silver.

Holding the boat out of the hole, the sun outside the hole shook people dizzy, Haizhu covered his forehead with his hands, squinted his eyes to look at the sea in the distance, the sea surface was sparkling, like layers of fish scales flashing.

"The killer whales are gone, and we're back." She dropped the oar and hoisted the sails.

Qi Laosan was sitting on the board of the boat and still thinking about how much silver he could get by selling bird's nest, and the sails "banged" twice to puff up the wind bag, and he came back to his senses and asked: "Haizhu, if I want to build a courtyard with two entrances, how much silver will I get?" Three or four thousand taels is enough, right? ”

"Enough specified." Haizhu said.

"Then when you get married, I will buy a big mansion not far from the General's Mansion, or ask someone to build a house, we will live together as a family, and you will be there two steps back if you want to." Qi Laosan's idea has been thinking about it for a long time, he glanced at Haizhu and said, "When the time comes, I will take my mother-in-law and mother over to live, and she will stay in Yongning and your third aunt will be worried." ”

Haizhu nodded, she didn't interfere with this.

A ghostly sound suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance, Haizhu and Qi Laosan stood up and walked up to the second floor to look into the distance, and a column of water rose from the sea, which should be a whale breathing water.

"I think I see a black dorsal fin." Qi Laosan said uncertainly.

"Where?" Haizhu squinted, looked at it for a long time before faintly saw a black dot, the black dot appeared from time to time, getting closer and closer, and when the sea water surged, the killer whale's back was exposed.

"It's a killer whale!" She rejoiced.

The killer whale swam to the stern of the boat with its head exposed, and with a manta ray in its mouth, it made a dry grunt, and the manta ray, with a row of tooth marks, was thrown onto the boat.

"Boom, boom—" It made a disgusting sound as it circled the ship, and greeted Haizhu happily.

"Stop, stop, I'll throw up if you call it any longer." Haizhu couldn't stand it anymore, she took a pointed shovel downstairs and chopped off the bone spurs of the manta ray, the manta fish was already dead, and it was not fresh to bring back, she used a pointed shovel to cut it open, cut it into pieces of meat about the size of her face and threw it to the killer whale.

The murmur finally stopped, and the killer whale swam to the side of the boat, opening its mouth to feed, and found that the fish that had been thrown into its mouth did not need to be chewed and purred, and when the fish had eaten, it sank into the sea and made a long cry.

After about a pillar of incense, a large group of killer whales appeared, each with its own prey, and manta rays of various sizes were thrown on the boat one after another, and even a half-sized shark was lying across the stern.

The manta ray and the shark were still alive, the shark's abdomen was bleeding a lot, Haizhu and Qi Lao looked at each other, and the killer whales around the boat opened their big mouths from time to time to remind.

Haizhu carried a pointed shovel to cut off the bone spurs of the manta fish first, Qi Laosan went to the bottom warehouse to get a kitchen knife, and the uncle and nephew squatted on the board of the boat like butchers to cut the manta ray, removed the bones and then threw the fish meat under the boat.

The largest killer whale was longer than a boat, and when Haizhu fed it, he found that most of his teeth were bald, the tooth surface was yellow and black, and the fangs were sharpened like human teeth, and he might be weak when biting his prey, so it was no wonder that they liked cut pieces of fish.

Thinking of this, Haizhu picked up a kitchen knife and skinned the shark, cut a thick lump of meat and threw it into the sea.

"They don't eat." Qi Laosan lay on the side of the boat and was shocked, "They don't eat shark meat either." ”

Haizhu remembered that dolphins only ate livers after hunting sharks, so she cut open the shark's belly, took the liver and threw it into the sea, and the next moment it was eaten by two baby killer whales.

Half of the killer whales went to hunt again, and the largest killer whale followed the boat with the baby killer whale, and its voice was very loud, strong and powerful, but the sound it made was very weird.

"It's a little ugly, it's not as good as the sound of suona." Qi Laosan said.

Haizhu thought to himself that the tone it hummed was probably not local, if the killer whale lived a long life of eighty or ninety years, this killer whale that was longer than the building boat did not know how many places it had visited, and this sea area was just a predatory ground for them to stay for a short time.

When the killer whales came back from hunting, the sharks were taken out of their nests, dragged over by their tails, and even had two bared teeth trying to bite when they were thrown onto the boat.

Haizhu and Qi Laosan cut the kitchen knives in order to extinguish their mouths, the boat board was soaked in shark blood, the two cut open the shark's belly, took the liver and fed it to the killer whale, the shark's fins were cut off and kept for themselves, and the shark meat was thrown into the sea, they ate the fish alive, and then nourished the fish, shrimp and crabs when they died.

Killer whales eat all the way from the deep sea to the shallow sea, and when they are full, they happily chase the waves, meet turtles and turtles, and smash fish when encountering fish, Haizhu and Qi Laosan carry water to rush the boat board and pay attention to the sea, for fear that the fish will throw on the boat and hit themselves.

When the coastline came into view, there were many fishing boats returning from fishing on the sea, and killer whales jumped out of the sea humming an unknown minor tune as if crazy, excitedly showing off their powerful bodies and smooth bodies.

"Black-skinned whales—" someone shouted.

As the shore approached, many people poured into the docks, and the docked merchant ships were not in a hurry to leave, and they exclaimed in amazement.

The killer whales did not approach the pier as aggressively as they had last night, and they stopped a dozen miles from the pier, stopped moving forward, jumped in different ways, made various calls in different tones, and finally made a dry grunt in unison.

"Vomit—" Someone on the merchant ship vomited.

The others couldn't stand it and couldn't help but grunt.

Haizhu laughed, she pushed the boat into the bay, Qi Laosan threw the anchor down, and then jumped off the boat and smashed the anchor.

More and more fishing boats returned, and the voices became more and more chaotic, with the largest killer whale making a long cry at the bottom of the sea, and the other killer whales sinking into the sea and heading out into the depths.

For more than two months after that, as long as it didn't rain, whenever Haizhu went out of the boat, every evening, the people at Yongning Wharf could see the whales escorting the boat back, and they stopped near the sea for a while, humming the newly learned flute from Haizhu and leaving happily.

In the meantime, Yongning Town has countless tourists, the town's restaurant inn is full every day, to the end of the eleventh, the town has two new three-storey buildings, an inn and a restaurant.

However, suddenly one day, the killer whales did not appear again, Haizhu and Qi Laosan no longer went out to Yandao, the weather turned cooler, the sea was foggy, and the two only followed the fishing boat to go out to sea to fish when the weather was fine.

The killer whales migrated away, and the storytellers of the restaurants and inns in Yongning Town began to tell the guests about their whereabouts, they were no longer black-skinned whales, and the names given to them by Haizhu began to be passed on by word of mouth.

"Killer whales are better than sharks?"

"Of course, they hunt sharks and only eat livers, and their mouths are tricky, and I heard Haizhu say that the meat that killer whales don't eat is thrown into the sea, and she cuts off the fins and sells them back."

The sound of talking was outside the private room where Haizhu and Han Ji were eating, Han Ji only came back the day before yesterday, and he hadn't seen what the killer whale that made Yongning Town so hot looked like, he was curious: "Where did the killer whale go?" ”

"It's migrating, it's cold, they're going to warm places for the winter." Haizhu poured a glass of water and said, "If you don't leave, sharks and manta rays will be eaten by them, they will eat too much to stay in a certain place for a long time." ”

"Will they come back next year when the weather warms up?" Han Ji regretted that he had never seen a fish that could make flutes and suona sounds.

"It may come back, or it may not." Haizhu smiled and cupped her cheeks and said, "If they get stuck with bone spurs again, they should come to me again." ”

Chapter 195: I Miss You More

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Hou returned to Fucheng with a long life, the house in Qingshi Lane was empty, and most of the subordinates were taken away.

After dinner, I went out of the restaurant, it was already dark, and lanterns were lit in the corners of the restaurant, and the guests came in and out, and when they saw Han Ji and Haizhu, they smiled and said hello as if they had met neighbors.

"The Major General came to Yongning today? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time, hasn't it been half a year? ”

"No, it's been almost four months."

"It's been half a year."

Han Ji nodded his head lightly, and stood on the street behind Haizhu with his hands in his hands.

Haizhu looked at the sky hesitantly and said, "Let's go back?" ”

"It's not dark yet, you go back with me to get the New Year's gift and go to Hongshi Village." Han Ji bumped her shoulder, a smile of unknown meaning on her face.

Haizhu pursed her lips and smiled, allowing him to go back with him. Turning into Bluestone Lane, he went into the house to get the New Year's gift, and she walked a few more steps home to say goodbye.

The Qi family was eating, Xingzhu was sitting in the cradle in a small jacket and squeaking, Hearing Haizhu's words, those who understood the meaning were silent.

"Wait for me later, I'll go too." Dongzhu quickly grilled the rice, and she said vaguely: "I want to go out for a walk after dinner." ”

Qi Laosan thought that he was being followed by Haizhu at that time, and took revenge and said: "It's okay, Fengping and Chaoping also followed, there are many people." ”

Haizhu glanced at him and said to his younger brothers and sisters: "If you want to take a walk and run in the alley, it's windy at night, don't go with you, you will suffer if you drink the cold wind and catch a cold." When the words fell, she went out.

Grandma Qi was eating the dishes as if she didn't hear or see it, and when she saw Dongzhu put down the dishes and chopsticks and wanted to go out, she called out to stop people and said, "Don't go with you, your sister and your brother-in-law haven't seen each other for several months, and the two of them want to talk quietly." ”

Dongzhu reluctantly said "oh", she picked up the fat cat and sat back down.

Outside the alley, Han Ji went out with a burden, and the New Year's gift was packed with two baskets, and he could only carry it with a flat shoulder, and when he met someone when he went out, the neighbor was surprised: "Major General, you will also carry the burden?" ”

"It's not difficult, I picked up soil when I was digging on the island." Han Ji said.

"Where are you going?" Someone heard the voice come out.

Han Ji was dumbfounded, it was a hot thought in his mind before, but now he is annoyed, how can he go at night to give a New Year's gift to his mother-in-law.

"Go to my mother's place, tomorrow my Uncle Yu will take a boat back to his hometown, and go over tonight to talk." Haizhu answered calmly.

When he got out of the alley and met people who were chatting outside after dinner, Haizhu explained to Han Ji all the way that there were too many people in the town, and no one asked again until he left the town.

Standing on the road where the cold wind was howling, Haizhu twisted him, Han Ji laughed, and she laughed too, it was ridiculous.

"Let's go, if I delay any longer, my mother may fall asleep." Haizhu said.

Han Ji adjusted the burden, carrying the burden on one shoulder, the basket was hung one after the other, he took Haizhu's hand with one free hand, and asked, "Do you want to miss me?" ”

"I've thought about it."

"Also, your life is so lively, it's hard to think of me. Unlike me, I think of you on a boat in the deep sea, on an island, when the sun rises, when the sun sets, when I see the moon, when I see a seabird, when I see a turtle on the island, when I pick up a beautiful conch...... will think of you. ”

Haizhu curled the corners of her mouth, and she looked at the dark sky and laughed silently.

"I hear you laughing." Han Ji put a little effort on his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have anything to say?" ”

Haizhu smiled evilly and said, "You are right, I see the sun as the sun, the moon as the moon, and the bird as the bird, but I don't think of you." ”

Han Ji was silent, he was still holding her hand, his steps were heavy, and the stones creaked.

"Why don't you speak? Angry? Haejoo shook his hand.

Han Ji still didn't squeak, she was deliberately angry with him, and she was telling the truth.
