After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

"Can the sea eat people?"

In the small shabby house on the isolated island, when Old Man Liang said these words, a gust of cool wind happened to hit him, immediately filling the air with a sinister atmosphere.

Jenny and Yui immediately shrank their necks, feeling a little cold.

And Su Mo also frowned.

Of course he won't be afraid, but Old Man Liang's words can be understood in many ways.

For example, the sea water in many places looks calm, but in fact it is undercurrents and rip currents exist.

Rip currents, also called rip currents, are strong currents that flow into the ocean under the combined action of waves and underwater topography.

This kind of current is extremely fast and calm on the surface, so it is very difficult to detect. It often only takes a few seconds to bring a living person to deep water and eventually drown him in the sea.

In a sense, if a person stands on the beach and does nothing, but is inexplicably swept away by the sea, isn't this the sea "eating" people?

There are also various beasts in the ocean, not to mention the most ferocious sharks, even a weak jellyfish can kill a person. If you accidentally meet them in the sea, wouldn't they be eaten?

Thinking of this, Su Mo asked: "You mean that Beidadong Island is very dangerous and accidents often happen?"

Old Man Liang nodded but then immediately shook his head: "No, no, if it was just an accident, I wouldn't have said that. It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how advanced your ship is, there is no chance of survival if you go there. .”

"Is it so dangerous?" Su Mo didn't believe it.

Seeing this, Old Man Liang explained: "That island is much bigger than mine. There are not only lakes on it, but also an abundance of all kinds of food. It was also home to many people who had been picking pearls for a living for generations. Life is quite prosperous.”

Speaking of this, Old Man Liang seemed to have thought of something sad, and he sighed again for a while.

"and then?"

After all, Yui was still young and usually liked hearing such weird stories, so she immediately asked.

"Then..." Old Man Liang lamented: "The value of pearls has attracted many businessmen and made the residents of Beidadong Island a fortune, but there is always a day when the pearls are picked. Look. There are fewer and fewer oysters in the coastal waters, so how can people who have lived a good life be willing to return to poverty?"

"From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult."

Jenny nodded: "If it were me, I would definitely find a way to continue looking for pearls."

"Yes." Old Man Liang smiled bitterly: "The people of Beidadong Island thought the same way. They sailed their boats desperately and headed into the deeper sea. My father and brother were sailors back then and happened to be employed by a company. The boss also went with us. But they never came back after going to sea. "

Yui asked: "Did you encounter a storm?"

"Not entirely." Old Man Liang took a deep breath: "It is said that there is a very strange sea area over there. Even if it is not the windy season, there are dark clouds, strong winds, and raging waves."

"What's even more bizarre is that there is a very terrifying whirlpool in the middle of the sea. As soon as their ship entered that sea area, all the navigation equipment on the ship failed. Even the most primitive compass did not work. In the end, it had to be The vortex swallowed it up."

"The most terrifying thing is that the ships that were searched and rescued afterwards couldn't find even a broken ship plank in the surrounding area. The ships that entered seemed to have disappeared from the world, so I said that the sea there can eat people!"

There are constant storms and terrifying whirlpools all year round? This situation is somewhat similar to the devil's westerly belt that Su Mo encountered during his last trip to Antarctica.

But it is a bit scary that all the navigation equipment on the ship has failed. This should be caused by the abnormality of the earth's magnetic field. Anyone who often goes to sea knows that if there is no pointing device on the vast sea, it is basically doomed.

Su Mo couldn't believe there was such a place in the world. After all, he had even been to the Mariana Trench, a restricted area for humans, but he had never encountered such a phenomenon.

But the ocean is so mysterious, maybe such a place really exists.

At this time, Jenny asked again: "Mr. Liang, are the penguin oysters in the sea area you mentioned?"

Old Man Liang nodded: "Yes, it's right there. At first, people could still find some mother clams on the periphery of that sea area, but they were all picked quickly. Although there were still many brave people trying to get in, But in the end, none of them came back. Gradually, no one will go back, and now that pearl cultivation technology has gradually developed, no one will go to die."

Hearing this, Jenny was also a little scared and turned to look at Su Mo.

Seeing this, Su Mo smiled and said, "Since it's so dangerous, I won't join in the fun."

Seeing what he said, Old Man Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, don't go."

Su Mo nodded, stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave now. The acquisition should be settled soon. I'll come to visit you again then."

"Okay, I will convince others as soon as possible."

Old man Liang sent the three of them out, and once again told Su Mo not to go to Beidadong Island.

Although Su Mo agreed wholeheartedly, as soon as the three of them returned to the main island of Okinawa in a small boat, he said to Yui: "Thank you for your hard work today. You go home and rest for two days. We will talk about the rest in Seoul on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year." .”

"Okay, Mr. Su Mo."

Yui knew that he was trying to distract her, but she still bowed very politely, then took a taxi and left.

Seeing her walking away, Jenny whispered: "Are you still going to Beidadong Island?"

Su Mo did not answer the question directly, but talked about the company: "I will leave the registration of the company and the acquisition of Yanaha Island to you. I have shipped the gold, silver and gems to Xiangjiang for cash. I need money. When the time comes, just ask Yuemeng, and she will transfer money to you through an overseas account."

"I knew you would still go."

Jenny shook her head helplessly. Although she already knew what Su Mo was capable of, she still said a little uneasily: "Be careful, don't forget that Yue Meng is still at home waiting for you to return."

"Can I take it that you care about me?"

Su Mo blinked narrowly.

"You're thinking too much!" Jenny wrinkled her nose angrily: "I hope you won't come back, so that Yue Meng and I can live a good life."

"You think it's beautiful!"

Su Mo rolled his eyes, and then looked at the vast sea in the distance with great confidence: "It's so dangerous, but I still have to go for it. Don't worry, when I get back my pearl, I'll give it to you Each of you can pick a big one and make it into a necklace!"
