Chapter 265: Out to Sea
With a better bow, Rafe's success rate in shooting fish was much higher, and even in the years of severe famine, the family could at least have a full hunger.
However, she was not satisfied, because her younger siblings were shorter and lighter than children of the same age in the city, and she ignored that she was the same.
She begged the carpenter to make a stronger bow, this time at half the cost of three months' catch, and she gritted her teeth and agreed, for she wanted to shoot fatter and bigger fish, which tended to swim deeper and faster.
She didn't care about her own progress, she just wanted to catch more fish, and it would be better if she could satisfy the family's appetite and have some money left over to sell, because she didn't go to school much herself, but she wanted her younger siblings to have a chance to go to school.
There is hardly a day at the beach that there is no wind and waves, it is just a matter of big and small, and she does not want to waste any day, even if there is wind and waves, she still has to shoot fish.
The slippery reef and the wind and waves gradually could not stop her, she mastered amazing balance, her toes were also extremely flexible, and she could even use her toes to firmly grasp the slight ups and downs and gaps on the reef in the wind and waves, so as to gain a foothold, and she was like a lotus leaf rooted in the silt at the bottom of the pond, let the wind and rain sway, no matter how her upper body was blown and swayed, her feet seemed to be rooted, this is by no means a skill that ordinary people can master.
Occasionally, people passing by the seashore can vaguely see a vague figure standing on a reef that is only about half a meter above the surface of the sea in the waves, and sometimes the wind even blows her upper body parallel to the ground, and the waves and torrential rain wash her face non-stop, in this case, ordinary people can't even stand, can't even open their eyes, let alone shoot arrows.
She let the irritating sea water and bean-like raindrops fall on her eyes, but she stared at the swimming fish under the water without blinking, and methodically pulled the strings and shot arrows.
When an arrow flies out, a fat sea fish floats up, and the arrow misses out.
She didn't know when she had awakened her extraordinary abilities, and she didn't care, she just wanted her family to be well fed and well-fed.
She didn't know that she was extraordinary, she only felt that her archery skills were getting better and better, better than the villagers in the fishing village, and she didn't even know what an extraordinary.
Later, word of mouth spread among the villagers that there was a girl in the village who was skilled in archery, and everyone said that she could shoot a fish in any bad situation.
One day, a middle-aged man with a beard covered in the smell of fish came to the fishing village, found her through the villagers, and asked her if she wanted to go to sea with him.
She asked what she was doing at sea.
He said fishing.
She wondered if she used fishing nets when she went out to fish, and what was the use of asking her?
He said that she was asked to catch tuna and sharks, and the tuna was sold to the West and the shark's fins were sold to the East.
Although she was born and raised in a small fishing village, she had never been to the sea, never taken a boat, and never left home, so she hesitated, but after seeing the price he offered, she no longer hesitated, because the money was enough for all her five younger siblings to go to school and have food, and it could also make her parents no longer have to dig in the soil all day, and they were busy all year without getting anything.
She agreed, and followed him to the sea, and her parents knew that it might be dangerous for their daughter to go to sea with a strange man, but they did not stop it, because of the money, the money was too much, although it may seem average to the people in the city, and it was not worth the risk, but it was a sum of money that they had never seen in their lives, and she was only one-sixth of the six children.
She called him Captain, and the captain's boat was a small seven-meter fishing boat, with only her, the captain and a sailor on board.
The captain and the sailor didn't tell her that it was poaching, and she didn't care, except for the relief that her younger siblings could go to school, she was also a little excited because she saw a big fish, a big fish that she had never seen on the beach, bigger and heavier than her, a big fish that was enough for the whole family to eat for days.
Soon, however, she became seasick and vomited diligently.
The child who grew up in a seaside fishing village became seasick, and she received no pity from the captain and sailors, only ridicule and curses.
The captain scolded her for eating for nothing, and he paid her to come instead of letting her stain his boat, saying that if he missed the school of tuna, the balance would be gone, and that he would have to ask her parents for the advance.
The captain and the sailor were normal people on land, but as soon as they arrived at sea, they became drunkards, drunk all day long, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were so red that they were frighteningly red, except for drinking, they were swearing.
She vomited everything she ate, her figure was extremely weak, and her steps were as if she was stepping on cotton, but even so, in order not to be scolded for eating white food, in order to keep the family's money, she still gritted her teeth and stood on the deck with a bow and arrow.
It didn't matter if she couldn't stand on her feet, she asked the captain to tie her body to the mast, and the captain was happy to obey.
Open the bow, draw the string, aim, release the arrow.
Not surprisingly, the arrow missed.
Seasick, she wanted to shoot a high-speed tuna swimming underwater on the undulating sea, which was much more difficult than on the reef.
The captain would even whip her with a rope when he was drunk, and the sailors stared at her with bad intentions.
If it were replaced by any other transcendent person, it would be possible to kill the captain in a fit of rage, anyway, it is not a violation of the iron law, and besides, in the vast sea, whether it is dead or missing, it is too normal, and they secretly go to sea to poach, even if they can't go back, no one cares.
But she had never left the fishing village before, and had only gone to school for a few days, she did not dare to resist, she was afraid of killing people to pay for her life, and she was even more afraid that the money would be taken back, and her younger siblings would go to school for a few days like her and then drop out because of poverty.
Her will once again allowed her to surpass her limits, and just like the Saiyan second stage transformation, her strength took a leap forward in a short period of time.
The trajectory of the tuna, the strength of the sea, the magnitude and direction of the wind, the swaying of the ship, she calculated everything in an instant as if she had a fire-controlled computer in her head.
Open the bow, draw the string, aim, release the arrow.
The bow is still the same bow, the arrow is still the same arrow, as long as the bow and arrow itself are not changed, the speed and strength of the arrow flying out will not change much, but this time the arrow seems to have eyes, and the tuna seems to hit the tip of the arrow by itself.
Burst.
The arrow enters through the eye socket of the tuna and penetrates the tuna's brain.
The tuna died instantly, and he didn't even have time to struggle.
The captain cheered loudly with excitement, but not for her, but for his luck and eyesight, for he had already given her money, and it was her duty to do it.
