The Fisherwoman Catches the Sea and Makes a Fortune Verse 197
"This is when the earth moved, and the mountain fell, and the earth cracked." Haizhu whispered.
"Find the entrance." Han Ji gestured at the soldiers.
The bird is better at finding holes, it actively explores the way, and when it hears the sound of bangbang, it stops, and is so frightened that it turns around and runs, flies to Haizhu's shoulder and whispers: "Scared the bird to death." β
"Afraid of what?" Haizhu touched its bird's head.
Birds can't tell, it's just scared.
"Found the entrance." Han Ji came back to pull Haizhu, and when it was already dark, he grabbed someone and said, "Follow me, don't stay away." β
Detoured into the collapsed cave, the entrance of the cave was too low, and the group bent down in the faint light of the fire, and heard a heavy panting sound not far away, and the smell of rancid smell wafted from the cave.
The footsteps in the mountain path did not attract the attention of the cave people, and the man with the head walked into the sloping cave, and the man with his hair scattered turned his head to look, his face covered with dirty blood and rotten flesh, and his mouth was still squirming.
"Fuckβ" The soldier jumped to his feet in fright.
Han Ji glanced at it and quickly turned around and hugged Haizhu, covering her eyes to prevent her from looking, the man sitting on the ground was holding a rotten thigh and gnawing meat, and bones and clothes were scattered on the ground.
"*%*#......" The person on the other side yelled, unable to understand a word of what he said, and pounced on him with a stone axe to cut people.
"Killed." Han Ji ordered, "People are killed and dragged out, and the things on the ground are cleaned up." β
"Yes."
Three soldiers dealt with it, and the rest of the soldiers lit candles to check in the cave, the cave was diagonally down, and the yellow gold came into view.
"It's gold." The shouting soldiers were so excited that their voices split.
"Go back to the boat first, and dig again tomorrow morning when it is dawn." Han Ji said.
"No, no, no, I'm not tired, I can't sleep, I, I'll dig now... Gold, gold. "They all stuttered with joy.
"I'm not tired." Another soldier spoke.
Han Ji chuckled and said, "Then dig it, let's go to the boat and get food and send it over." By the way, there is a lot of gold here, and you can have no worries about food and clothing for several years with a lump of prie, don't have the mind to kill each other, think about your family, they are all waiting for you to go back and live a good life. β
"Hey, we know this reason, digging up gold is not powerful, what is powerful is to bring it back, the birds on this island don't lay eggs, we can't use the gold mountain even if we carry it." One of the soldiers spoke.
"That's the reason, then you dig it." Han Ji pulled Haizhu and left with the bird, this place was already far away from the place where the boat docked, and when he walked back, he walked back and walked over again to estimate that it was dawn, he stood outside the cave and thought, "Where is there anything to eat?" β
"See where it's close to the sea and pry some oysters." Haizhu said that oysters can be eaten raw, and there is no need to think about making a fire, there is not even a grass on the island, and there is no wood to burn a fire.
The task of finding the sea was left to the parrot, and it flew around in the air and led the people to the place where there was the sound of the waves, because it did not intend to spend the night outside, so it did not carry a lantern, so it carried a candle with it, and when it was lit, it could barely illuminate it.
"I can't see the stars and the moon in the sky, it's been more than ten days, the smoke from the eruption hasn't dispersed, and it has rained for more than ten days before, and the smoke and dust haven't completely fallen." Haizhu looked at the sky and muttered to herself.
"Look at the road, don't walk and fall." Han Ji reminded and said: "After that, this island with gold mines may not be able to stop, this trip will transport more gold, we will not come in the future, and we will not mix with this matter." β
"Well, if you take too much, you will be jealous of the people in the court." Haizhu said.
When they arrived at the beach, the waves washed away the black ash on the reef, and most of the oysters attached to the reef were still alive, but there were many dead fish on the beach, and they were stinky.
The next day, the fishermen who had come up to the island also came looking for it, and when they saw the gold, they were mad with joy, and they dug in it for a day and a night, and they came out to look for food when they were almost exhausted from hunger. According to the path pointed out by Haizhu, they went to the beach to pry oysters to eat, and drank the water of the lake with dead fish, and within two days, one of them died of illness, and the others woke up, dragging their sick bodies and began to eat and sleep on time.
Ten soldiers were digging gold in the cave, the cook and the helmsman were responsible for cooking and delivering food, Han Ji and Haizhu continued to search on the island with the birds, and found a well on the fourth day of the island, and the two went farther to fish, and the people on the island did not see anyone else except themselves.
"Do you think there are any living people on the island?" Haizhu asked.
"There may be, but it will be gone soon."
Han Ji stopped in time to look for the traces of the aborigines.
Half a month later, the official ship carried a heavy load of gold and led people out of Wajima, and the fishermen who traveled with them also returned with a full load, far behind the official boat, looking firmly into the distance.
Chapter 244: The text ends
Half a year later.
When the autumn breeze rises, the sun in Quang Nam is still scorching, and people can only experience the cool feeling when they are immersed in the sea. Haizhu and the old turtle wandered on the bottom of the sea one after the other, the net pocket around the waist was already half full, and there was a straight black-skinned moray eel hanging outside, Bypassing a pier of reefs, Haizhu heard a slight rustling sound, she glanced at the old turtle, and paddled lightly across the water, What caught her eye was a seal lying on the bottom of the sea and digging a pit in the sand. It glanced at Haizhu, turned its head and continued to concentrate on the movements of its hands, a squid with its tentacles torn off was dragged up, it bit the squid head in a lying position, and then stuffed it into the squid whiskers, and continued to rummage in the sand.
Haizhu didn't bother it, let alone feed it, she took the old turtle and left in a detour, and in the process of swimming, she caught a glimpse of the abalone eating in the kelp bushes, she landed and walked over, untied the net and chose a big abalone and threw it in.
The old turtle has eaten enough, it falls aside and sticks its neck to devour the tender seaweed, and accidentally finds movement behind it, it twists its neck to look over, it is a fat seal, the bulging belly, if you let it bite, you can get tired of eating for three days.
Seals are just passing by, and there are thousands of creatures on the bottom of the sea, and as long as they are not predators, they can live in peace.
The seals scattered on the bottom of the sea are all fleeing from the north in February and March, most of the tribes, groups and partners have been diverted to the north in the process of fleeing, and some of the seals who have lost their way to the south all the way to the south, they are scattered on the bottom of the sea, and only in the middle of the night will they come out of the water.
They are hardly ever seen by fishermen who go out to sea.
The net pocket is full, Haizhu swims to the sea with the old turtle, the closer to the sea, the more colorful the color in the water, the sunset is reflected in the blue sea, the white seabirds hover leisurely in the air, but the eyes are firmly staring at the sea, when the sea pearl and the old turtle drill out of the sea, a pair of bird eyes brush and stare over.
Get on the boat and sail, the building boat spins in the sea, the sea pearl is tied to the sail rope, and the building boat is floating in the vast sea.
Haizhu went upstairs to change into dry clothes in the cabin, and when she came out wiping her hair, she found that the seabirds were stealing shrimp from the net pocket, she scolded, kicked down, and dragged the net pocket to the bottom warehouse to sort.
The seabirds that stole a fishy mouthful quacked happily, and the next moment, the sea swayed, the hull of the ship undulated obviously, and the seabirds that landed on the side of the ship immediately scrambled to escape, and a killer whale surfaced, spraying water droplets and splashing the bird's claws.
"Uhh
A deep grunt called out Haizhu, and she walked onto the board, wiped her hands, and asked, "What are you doing?" β
After the eruption of the Wado volcano, there were many more killer whales, dolphins, and sharks in the waters south of Quang Nam, and the baleen whales living in the deep sea could not bear the disturbance and hid in the offshore waters.
Killer whales would occasionally come for a visit, looking for someone to pick out the thorns and brush their teeth, and Haizhu wasn't sure where they lived, anyway, she hadn't encountered them at the bottom of the sea, they were all coming for her.
The killer whale sinked into the sea with a low cry, and it didn't take long for two more killer whales to surface, the smaller one coming to ask for help, a sharp and dense young tooth wrapped around the fishing net, and the fishing net line was stuck between the teeth.
Haizhu lowered the sails, she took out her short blade and walked over, patted the baby killer whale and said to the mother whale snorkeling on one side, "Are you the killer whale who relied on me last year?" I brushed your stinky teeth and didn't pay for the consultation, didn't you? Remember to pay for the consultation this time, and don't tarnish the reputation of your race. β
The sharp blade picked off the fishing net line, Haizhu dragged the fishing net and threw it on the boat, and took out his portable tools to pick the teeth of the little killer whale, and removed the fishing net line stuck between the teeth, and it was done in three or two clicks.
The baby killer whale slammed into the sea with a cheer, and it squirted water into the boat with joy, and let out a tender dry grunt one after another.
"Gotta get it, call your mother to catch fish for me and send it, remember to pay the consultation fee." Haizhu put away the short blade and hoisted the sails, and said, "I'll go first, catch the fish and chase me, old place, I'll wait for you." β
The boat was gone, and the two killer whales, one large and one small, also planned to leave, and the other pilot killer whale let out a series of chirps, and the three killer whales sank to the bottom of the sea at the same time, and in a few moments, the sea surface returned to calm.
After about a pillar of incense, Haizhu met the fishing boat, and she greeted the others and discussed each other's catches and what they had seen and heard at sea today.
Three chirps of varying heights suddenly sounded in the rear, and the fisherman turned around, and the water column sprayed from the sea was falling, and it was self-evident what was below the water column.
"Doctor Qi, I'm here to find you." The fishermen who were close joked.
"I'm here to pay for the consultation." Haizhu laughed.
The killer whales caught up with the boat, and they came out of the sea, and the breaking waves swept away the nearby fishing boats, and the two large killer whales approached the stern of the boat one after another, and vigorously spat out two manta rays.
"Two of them, the previous debts have been written off." Haizhu cautiously cut off the manta ray's poisonous bone spurs first, and when she heard a dry sound from underwater, she also snorted perfunctorily.
"Heyβ"
Haizhu looked up when she heard the fisherman's surprise, caught a glimpse of a black being thrown up, and fixed her eyes on it, it was actually a seal. She hurriedly stood up and found that it was the little killer whale that was playing the seal as a ball underwater, and with a powerful tail cocking, the seal rose into the air, and when it was about to fall into the sea, it jumped out of the water and hit it hard, and the seal flew out two feet high with a swish, and the unlucky seabird passing by could not avoid being shot down by the seal, and broke its wings and smashed into the sea.
Haizhu shouted loudly, trying to divert the attention of the little killer whale, the little killer whale was coming, the seal smashed into the sea with a bang, she didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and in a blink of an eye she saw the seal flying out of the water, and there was a dry "haha" sound under the sea.
"You're full and have nothing to do, do you? Do you have to play it to death? Haizhu scolded, she jumped into the sea, and the attention of the three killer whales returned to her, and the whale ignored the seal that fell down again.
"Rollβ" Haizhu slapped the baby killer whale twice and swam around it into the distance.
The old turtle on the boat did not dare to show his head under the wooden ladder, and he trembled when he heard the sound.
The surrounding fishermen lowered their sails and stretched their necks to watch the excitement, and saw Haizhu grabbing the seal with one hand and dragging the bird with the other, and the three killer whales competing to carry her to swim in the sea, and she couldn't escape.
"Hey! The boat ran away, so who? Da Liu, you are close, you swim to Haizhu's boat and put away the sails. Someone shouted.
"Orcas won't eat me, will they?" Having said that, Da Liu still rowed the boat to chase the boat, and when he was close to the stern, he jumped into the sea and stepped on the wooden ladder to get on the boat and lower the sails.
The three killer whales were also addicted, and finally the little killer whale chased the boat with the sea pearl on his back, and even arched his back to support her on the boat, and the big Liu on the boat took the opportunity to touch two more and showed off loudly: "I touched it, slippery...... Its eyes are so small, aren't the white parts all eyes? It looks pretty foolish. β
The little killer whale squirted water at him head-on, and then snorted at Haizhu and left.
The freshly dried hair was wet again, and Haizhu brushed away the wet hair that stuck to her face and arms, and she sat down on the board of the boat and looked at the birds and seals in front of her, the wings of the birds were broken, and the white feathers were dyed with blood, and it fell on the board of the boat with its beak open, and water flowed out of the beak. As for the seal, thanks to that fat body, he was not injured in three blows and three smashes, and he could still move while lying on the board, probably because it was too hot, and he moved to the shade.
"Fatter than a pig." Da Liu took the opportunity to touch the seal and said, "You want to take this thing back and raise it?" Or is it going to be released now? β
"Take it back and raise it for a few days, I don't know if it has internal injuries, raise it for a few days, it can leave if it wants, and stay with those few if you want to." Haizhu stood up and said, "Let's go, go back, it's dark after a while." β
"I can't delay any longer, I'll take your boat back." Da Liu shouted to his brother: "Raise the sails, go back, I will take Haizhu's boat back to the island, and I won't go back and forth." β
Haizhu's boat sailed directly to Seal Bay, where the island is vertically downward, located in a corner of a sparsely populated beach, with short sand and few catches. The seals she brought back from Wajima were herded here, and four of them were gone, but they were found again in less than a month, probably because there were too many natural enemies under the sea, and she felt that it was safer here.
"Haizhu, I'll go first." Da Liu got off the boat and said, "You should also come back early, otherwise the young general will find you again." β
Haizhu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be back later." β
The old turtle's nest also moved to this side, and it disembarked and went straight to the sand pit, and when it entered, it shrank back and did not move, looking tired. Haizhu jumped off the boat with the seal, a person and a seal fell into the sea at the same time, she dragged the seal down to the bottom of the sea, and the eight seals who were looking for food at the bottom of the sea surrounded her, she rubbed them one by one, and then placed the heavy guy in her hand next to the reef, and handed it an octopus, and she was relieved to see that it could still eat.
"Send you a companion, get along, I'm leaving." The bottom of the sea is dim, and the sea pearl does not stay much, and with a kick, swim directly to the sea.
When she swam out of the sea, the sunset in the sky had dispersed, Haizhu climbed into the boat, dragged the water marks on the ground and walked down the bottom warehouse, she picked up the net and fished out of the tank, and heard a voice calling her from the boat, she cried out: "Below." β
"Haizhuβ" said the parrot as she flew down with joy, "the bird knows you're here." β
Haizhu is not surprised, but whenever she goes to sea and returns late, she has to find it, and she has to say this every time she comes.
"You're so smart." She boasted.
"Quack."
"You're here? Did Han Ji come? β
"Nope."
Haizhu picked up the net bag and left the warehouse, walked on the boat and saw a group of children walking here, Dongzhu, Fengping, Changshou, Chaoping, and Xingzhu were all here, she dropped the net and said, "Go quickly, come and help get things." β
"Sister, you have gained a lot?" Dongzhu quickened her pace.
"I can't take it alone anyway." Haizhu picked up the unstable seabird on the board, she thought about it, and handed it to Xingzhu, she is now at the time when she talks a lot of things and doesn't stop, just find something for her to do, "This bird's wings are broken, and it is estimated that it will not be able to fly in the future, you take it back and take care of it, and the bird's injury will be yours." β
"Can you talk?" Xingzhu took the bird and asked.
"No, it won't."
"It's not the same as Mingzhu, huh?" Xingzhu was a little disappointed.
The parrot puffed up its chest, and Haizhu said that it was the smartest, smartest and most beautiful parrot in the world, unique.
"Don't give it to me." Dongzhu stretched out his hand.
Xingzhu doesn't give, "I raise it myself." β
