Chapter 162: Fishing Village
On the fifth day after the water tower was built, Hank found Wang Yong, who was studying the formation, and reported that he had built a fishing boat that could go to sea, and asked Wang Yong if he wanted to go to the island he had said before, which Wang Yong had said hello before.
After Hank built the fishing boat, after two days of sea trials, he determined the safety of the fishing boat, and immediately came to inform Wang Yong. After Wang Yong learned of Hank's intention, he remembered that there was such a thing, let Hank go to meet his niece Alice first, and then come to him after lunch and set off together, Wang Yong also had to arrange the affairs of the territory in the next few days during this time.
In the past, Wang Yong could still count on Regan to help, but now Regan, after getting the magic circle diagram translated to him by Wang Yong, he only cared about studying with Luke, and even handed over some magic array carvings to their three apprentices, and also asked Sophia and them to exercise and grow in practice.
As a result, the three of Sophia don't know much about alchemy and magic arrays in theory, but they are definitely good at portraying magic arrays. The three of them, without exception, spend all their time carving magic arrays every day, except for going to the construction site to help, and such a high-intensity workout will become a master no matter who they are.
After an hour of arrangement, Wang Yong took care of the matter at hand, and then began to think about who to ask to accompany him to the island.
According to Hank, the island is actually very large, and there are monsters in the forests on the island, and Hank and his family used to go to that island only to walk around the beach and then be scared back by the roar of the beast.
Wang Yong went this time to see if there were any resources on the island that could be used, and he wanted to visit every corner of the island, so he had to have the force to protect himself.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yong found that the masters in the territory were on business trips, and those who had tasks had tasks, and there were not many masters here. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Yong finally decided on the people to travel together, Amy, Kevin, Sarah, the dwarf patriarch Robert, and the minotaur patriarch Ryan plus Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.
The reason why I brought Sarah is because after Nossen went on a business trip to the Eternal Empire, Sarah was always distracted no matter what she did, and this time I brought her, one is to be Amy's companion, and the other is to let her go for a walk together, so as not to think about Nossen in the base all day.
Originally, Wang Yong wanted to bring the wolf head with him, but even Wang Yong didn't know where Ryan got the wolf head, and it was said that he was doing closed training.
After the candidates were decided, everyone had lunch together, and then set off towards the original fishing village with great interest.
Along the way, Amy and Sarah were the happiest, and the two of them rode together in Xiaobai, chattering non-stop, no matter what they saw, they felt fresh. If it weren't for the fact that they had been holding back at the base for too long, it was so easy to come out to relax, and I thought that the two of them were local girls who had just come out of the mountains and had never seen the world.
Kevin saw Amy and Sarah riding Xiaobai together, and wanted Wang Yong to take him, but Wang Yong refused to say that it was not an escape, and it was really indecent for two big men to ride together. Kevin thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so he found a big white horse that looked very stylish, and followed Xiaobai to pretend to introduce the scenery along the way to the two girls.
Robert and Ryan were much more pitiful, for the Minotaur was so strong that there was no horse to hump his large body. Although the dwarves could ride horses, Robert rode on horseback, and his legs could not reach the stirrups at all. So the two had to get into the carriage, and because there was no passenger carriage that could fit the size of the Minotaur, Robert had to ride with Ryan on the flatbed cart used to pull the goods.
Because I was not in a hurry to go out this time, the group walked very slowly, and it was very like an outing to talk and laugh along the way. As an aborigine, Hank also introduces some nice scenery and some ancient legends to everyone from time to time.
Two days later, in the evening, Wang Yong and his entourage arrived at the already popular small fishing village.
Some time ago, Hank brought two hundred people here to build a boat and fish, although their harvest was basically not seen, but otherwise it was a small achievement. The fishing village is built not far from the coast, and here the terrain is slightly higher, so you don't have to worry about being submerged by the sea at high tide.
The fishing village is surrounded by a simple fence with many simple wooden houses of varying heights, which from a distance look no different from other small villages.
The village has a lot of treated wood in the open space, and some women are weaving a special kind of seaweed with a very good waterproof and tough thread, which is said to be used for fishing.
Wang Yong also found a miniature blacksmith's furnace, which Hank says is used to make simple tools such as fish hooks and rivets.
Wang Yong: They are very lucky, today the fishermen went out to sea and got a lot of big fish back, so that Kevin and his mountain artillery finally tasted the delicious taste of sea fish. Even Wang Yong, who used to eat marine fish at home, was full of praise for these unpolluted marine fish, let alone other people who had eaten marine fish for the first time.
In the middle of the night, after everyone fell asleep, Wang Yong saw Hank looking at the sea in a daze, Wang Yong looked at his lonely figure, and walked over silently.
Hank was a very straightforward person, and without waiting for Wang Yong to speak, he took the initiative to say: "I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I only left here after being captured as a slave. When I lived here before, I didn't feel anything, but after listening to my eldest brother talk about how prosperous the outside world is, I always wanted to leave here and go out to see and see. But now that I am back here, I think of the days I used to be with my relatives and I don't want to leave again, and I hope to spend more time with them here. ”
Wang Yong was in a good mood, but he was also a little depressed by Hank's sad topic, and began to miss his parents and friends in his hometown. The two of them quietly looked at the sea illuminated by the stars, listened to the sad melody of the waves before they dissipated, and silently thought about their own thoughts.
When the sky was bright, Wang Yong personally made breakfast for everyone, and everyone nibbled on steamed buns and drank fish soup, which also had another flavor. There were only two foodies, Kevin and Ryan, who felt that there was so little fish in the soup that they were gone before they could eat a few bites.
After breakfast, Hank led the group to the place where Wang Yong felt it was suitable to build a wharf, where the only fishing boat in the entire territory was moored.
When they saw this fishing boat, the others had never seen the boat before, and they didn't think anything, and they thought that the fishing boat should be like this, but Wang Yong was stunned.
Can this be called a boat? Let Wang Yong say that this object can be regarded as a slightly larger wooden raft with a boat circumference at most. This boat has more sails than wooden rafts, and it seems that everyone does not need to paddle out to sea.
Seeing Wang Yong's expression, Hank said with some embarrassment: "No one of us here knows how to build a ship, and we haven't seen a real fishing boat, it's not easy to make this, hehe!"
Wang Yong asked with some concern: "Are you sure this thing will not sink when it reaches the sea?"
Huck patted his chest and promised, "Of course." ”
Wang Yong said inquiringly: "You made it clear, do you mean that of course it will sink or of course it will not sink?"
Hank said with a black line on his head: "Of course it won't sink, we've been experimenting for days, and this is still guaranteed." ”
Hank called a few of the best sailors, and then Wang Yong and his group of six men and two beasts also got on the 'boat' with trembling. After Hank's shout, the sailors raised their sails and set sail for the distant island in the gentle sea breeze.
The boat was still a little wobbly as it sailed through the waves, but when it passed through the outer waves, the boat became stable.
Wang Yong and the landlubbers' restless hearts also calmed down, but they all tightly clung to the mast that could fix their bodies, and they all covered their mouths and snickered when they saw several sailors.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are okay, maybe they know water, and they are not very afraid of the vast ocean, the two beasts lie firmly on the bow of the boat, stretching their heads from time to time to look around, their eyes are full of curiosity.
Wang Yong clutched the mast tightly, his expression was very embarrassed, but Wang Yong, who had never been to sea, could not overcome the uneasiness in his heart no matter what.
It takes more than half a day to get from the fishing village to the island, and Wang Yong saw that every short distance of sailing, the sailors would still have a hook connected by seagrass threads into the sea, with unknown bait and floats tied to it, and floated on the surface of the sea.
Seeing that everyone was nervous, Wang Yong found a topic and asked Hank, "Is this how you catch fish?"
Hank replied with some pride: "Yes, if you are lucky, you can catch a big fish that grows for one person, but no matter how big it is, you can't catch it, and the fishing line can't withstand the toss of those big guys." ”
Wang Yong was puzzled and asked: "In this way, you can only catch the bigger fish, don't you catch the small fish? Why don't you use fishing nets?"
Hank shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "No way, the older generation used to say that you can weave fishing nets to catch fish, but after our fishing village was blocked by bandits, there was no place to get materials for weaving fishing nets, so we would only fish like this." ”
Wang Yong comforted: "It doesn't matter, after a while, many people will come to us, and some of them live on water, and there must be people who can weave fishing nets, and when the time comes, you will use fishing nets to catch fish, and the harvest will be more." Hank smiled brightly, his heart full of anticipation and yearning.
Wang Yong asked curiously: "Except for fish, don't you catch any other seafood?"
Hank asked, puzzled, "Other seafood?"
Wang Yong explained: "For example, crabs, conch, lobsters and so on. "And then they were compatible with what they were.
Hank figured out what Wang Yong was talking about before he replied: "You can occasionally catch one or two of those things you said, but they are all idle and bored after getting off the hook, and go to the shallow water on the other side of the island to catch them. Also, those things are not easy to catch, only the crab can catch quite a lot on the beach at low tide. But now the crabs in this season don't have much meat, only at the beginning of spring and early autumn every year, but the shell of that thing is too hard to eat. Next, Wang Yong and Hank began to talk about the origin of various seafood and their deliciousness, and everyone listened to it.
