The old man had been in a trance all morning.

Although he was very excited by Mi Jian's relief, he couldn't figure out how far this "handling" would go.

The terrible thing is that there are some things that I can only pretend to be confused about and can't ask.

What a headache.

After half a day's journey, the leading fisherman Casey brought everyone to an island.

The experienced Casey pointed to the rough sea and said to everyone: "Fish generally stay close to rocky places. Our location here is between two islands, and there are ocean currents passing below.

Tuna often migrate along this current during this season, and if we are lucky today, we may encounter the fish we want. "

After speaking, Casey directed the two boats to enter what he thought was an ideal sea area, and then gathered everyone together and held a small meeting. He mainly told everyone what they need to pay attention to when fishing for tuna, such as casting bait, sliding fish, Details such as lower hooks.

Casey picked up a stinger hook with his right hand and put his left hand on the back of his own neck. He told everyone that when hooking, he should aim at the back and neck of the tuna to avoid damaging the fish. At the same time, this position is also the easiest to subdue the tuna so that it cannot escape.

After the small meeting, everyone was playing with fishing rods on the deck.

To be on the safe side, and to allow Zhang Xuan and Mi Pei to get started quickly, a more traditional fishing method was adopted at the beginning, which was to use a fake bait similar to a live fish to simulate the way the prey swims in the sea to attract tuna to take the bait.

Then tie more colorful thumb-sized fake baits on the fishing line, so that you can catch all sizes.

After the preparations were completed, Li Wendong, who had just gone out to sea, was not in a hurry to fish. Instead, he smiled and said to Zhang Xuan and Mi Pei: "You guys try it first. Casey and I will help you capture the formation."

"OK."

Seeing Mi Pei start fishing in the sea, Zhang Xuan threw the bait into the sea like a young child.

Not to mention, I was really lucky this time. In less than 20 minutes, there were fish biting the hook.

Casey discovered the situation immediately and asked Zhang Xuan: "Do you want to help?"

Zhang Xuan refused directly because he felt that the fish was not big, and it was the first time in his two lives to fish for tuna in the deep sea. This seemed to be more exciting than his previous fishing for bass, yellow croaker, grouper and the like in offshore waters.

Zhang Xuan and Mi Pei threw six poles into the sea together. He was busy with the pole in his hand, and people in both boats looked over for a while.

Everyone stared at him like a peep show, curious about how the famous writer fished.

The old man did not disappoint them. After more than ten minutes of continuous pulling, he successfully got the fish to the surface of the water.

Seeing how familiar he was for the first time, Casey couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Nice! You are very talented in sea fishing. If you can eat this bowl of rice professionally, you will have a bright future."

Zhang Xuan accepted it with a smile and found it very useful. However, I knew very well in my heart that my fishing skills were really average, and they were all developed over time.

This was the first time Mi saw a live tuna. He raised his head and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this tuna?"

Zhang Xuan taught her to identify: "It's tuna, but it's not the bluefin tuna I want most. Look at the dorsal fin, anal fin and small fins are all yellow. This is a yellowfin tuna."

Li Wendong skillfully picked up the stinger hook and stood beside him: "That's enough. It's also a very good fortune to catch a yellowfin tuna in your first shot."

Zhang Xuan was not very satisfied: "It's still a bit small."

When he slipped the fish closer, Li Wendong found an opportunity to aim at the back of the fish and hit it hard: "According to my experience, 50 kilograms of yellowfin tuna is considered a big fish. This is really not small, at least 30 kilograms. Our Chinese meal Sashimi is finally here."

Although Li Wendong is a big boy, he still has some strength and can lift dozens of kilograms of fish with one hand.

Throwing it on the deck, Li Wendong said with an extremely certain tone: "It's not wrong, about 35 kilograms."

Casey took off the fish hook and weighed it in his hands. He agreed with Li Wendong's statement that it was almost 35 kilograms. Then he performed preliminary processing on the fish and put it into the freezer.

After playing with the fishhook for a while, Zhang Xuan threw it into the sea, and then according to Casey's teaching method, he pulled the fishing line and made small jumps on the sea surface to attract tuna in this way.

In fact, he was skeptical about this method at first. He always felt that the fake bait was a bit too small. Would the tuna in the sea bother with it?

But the slap in the face came too quickly. Less than 10 minutes had passed since the first shot. Suddenly the fishing line suddenly sank, and a force came from the end of the fishing line.

"You are lucky. There is no movement from Uncle Mi, but you are catching fish again." Li Wendong also noticed the movement immediately.

Zhang Xuan was a little proud, but considering that his father-in-law was still in the Air Force, he couldn't overdo it.

So he said: "It's just a small fight. I feel that this fish is not as big as the one just now. It is probably another yellowfin tuna."

Wen Yu then spoke up: "It would be great if you brought up a bluefin tuna. I want to eat sashimi."

I don’t know if God listened to Wen Yu’s thoughts. No, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Casey shouting at the sea surface: "Oh! God! This is a big fish, according to the splashing water on the sea surface. Look, this fish weighs at least 400 kilograms."

In order to make a few people understand, Casey deliberately changed the usual unit "pound" into kilogram.

Li Wendong reacted greatly and shouted excitedly to Mi Pei: "This big fish is probably bluefin tuna!"

Mi Pei laughed happily when he heard this. He was still depressed just now. Zhang Xuan had hit two shots in a row, but there was no movement at all. Could it be related to his personal luck?

However, fishing in the sea is no better than fishing in the river. Seeing the reel in his hand turning wildly and watching the fishing line in his hand being violently dragged out by the big fish, Mi Pei arched his back and used all his strength to entangle him. .

Casey kept on teaching him how to slide the fish in broken Chinese: "Release! Collect! Release! Collect!"

The attention of both ships was originally on Zhang Xuan's side, but now they are all gone, staring at the sea surface, watching Mi Pei fish.

Being a big fish has the consequences of being a big fish, and being a small fish has the benefits of being a small fish.

After some pulling, Zhang Xuan successfully harvested the second fish. As expected, it was yellowfin tuna. Mi Jian unscrewed a bottle of water and gave it to him, "Drink some water and rest for a while."

Zhang Xuan put his head over: "My face is covered with sweat."

Mi Jian smiled reservedly, as if she didn't understand what he said, put the water in his hand and walked away.

Hey, the old man sighed, this is Mi Jian. If they were two actors, if their relationship had reached this level, they wouldn't have cared about whether there was anyone next to them, and they would have wiped their own sweat with their sleeves with a smile on their faces.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Zhang Xuan rested for a long time and watched a play. When he saw his father-in-law exerting all his strength as if he were fighting, he was thinking, if he encountered such a fish, he would probably not be able to bear it.

After all, fishing can't just rely on brute force. It requires skill and patience. He estimated that it would take more than an hour to get this big fish up.

Just when his thoughts were wandering, the fishing rod next to him reacted again, and Zhang Xuan quickly walked over to check.

It’s just that it doesn’t matter if I look at it, I can’t help but secretly curse my mother, damn it! Did you run out of luck or something? Why is one fish smaller than the other?

20 minutes later, Zhang Xuan harvested his third yellowfin tuna, which was estimated to be about 27 kilograms.

I don’t know what happened later. It may be that the fish at the end of the Mipei fishing line made too much movement, and the other five lines were silent.

Zhang Xuan, who happened to have three poles in a row, was a little tired at this time, so he simply went over to watch the fun.

First, Mi Pei slipped away for half an hour, and Li Wendong took over for 20 minutes, and then handed it back to Mi Pei for swimming.

Zhang Xuan found that the anxious Casey wanted to take action several times, but held back every time.

Casey probably understood: now that he is not going out to sea to fish, the main purpose is to serve the sponsor well, and he cannot rashly destroy the sponsor's fishing experience and fun, especially since this is Mi Pei's first time fishing. Destroy it, otherwise the gain outweighs the loss. The money given by the fathers and donors is really too much.

After observing for a while, the old man wanted to laugh. This Casey is really a wonderful person.

Sure enough, it’s bluefin tuna! When the second rotation came to Mipei Liuyu, everyone finally saw clearly what was going on in the sea. It was such a huge monster!

Casey pumped his fist excitedly: "God! Definitely not less than 400 kilograms."

Casey was making all kinds of noises, making everyone nervous and excited. Mi Pei, the main fisherman, had his clothes soaked through, but his face was rosy, like a young man who had just entered the bridal chamber. His excitement made Liu Yi worried, for fear of falling into the sea. went.

At a certain moment, Mi Pei, who had been holding back his energy, made a mistake due to his lack of experience in sea fishing, and immediately shouted for help: "I feel like I can't hold it anymore! Come and help!"

Grandma is a bear! It was the first time I saw Mi Pei like this. The calm man in his 40s shouted like a child. Sure enough, he found something he liked. The man is so young.

Seeing this, Casey yelled at Jobs: "Damn it! Slow down! Slow down!"

Jobs, who was watching not far away, quickly picked up the pager and shouted: "Slow down! Slow down!"

The scene was very messy and lively for a while!

It was a pity that the eggs were useless. After a minute of this, there was only a "crack" sound, the fishing line was broken, and the bluefin tuna at the end made a splash on the water surface, as if it was mocking everyone on the boat, and then A dive disappeared in a flash.

Gone! The fish ran away!

More than an hour of busy work was in vain! The two ships fell into dead silence for an instant.

In the end, the charming Wen Yu reconciled, looking up at the sky: "It's getting late, it's lunch time, let's have lunch first."

Come on, with a shout, the two ships suddenly seemed to be back to life. Everyone was doing whatever they were supposed to do and continued busy with the things at hand. Mipei was left alone looking at the sea in a daze. He looked like he was in great pain. Lose my love

For a while, Liu Yi, Mi Jian and Wen Yu all gathered around to comfort him.

Li Wendong also said: "Don't worry, we just went out to sea. Now that we have found the fishing spot, there will be many opportunities next."

Although he said it was an opportunity, with 400 kilograms of bluefin tuna, there may not be another chance in the future.

Didn’t you see Fisherman Cathy feeling as uncomfortable as her mother’s death? He kept shouting: These are US dollars.

For lunch, we had food brought from the shore, and there was also an extra dish of sashimi. Although the meat quality of yellowfin tuna is not as good as that of bluefin tuna, it is still an expensive luxury product, and the taste is naturally very good.

After eating, Mi Jian asked him: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Zhang Xuan looked at the people who were busy on the deck again. He didn't show off, but said, "I'm going to take a bath and sleep, and then I'll work on it in the afternoon."

After saying that, he glanced at Liu Yi who was drinking red wine with Wen Yu at the end of the yacht, and whispered: "Come in and join me?"

Mi Jian stared at him quietly for a long time, smiled pleasantly, and then went to find Wen Yu and Liu Yi without looking back.

Knowing that it was useless, the old man was not discouraged, stretched and walked to his room.

This is the good thing about luxury yachts. They are relatively stable even at sea. They are not like Casey's fishing boat that fluctuates with the waves, which is scary.

He closed the door and lay on the bed. It was rare to be so quiet. He let his mind wander for a while, and finally he slowly fell asleep.

He slept for a long time. He was tired from wandering around in the morning and slept for three full hours before he woke up. The first feeling he felt when he woke up was that he felt comfortable. His whole body felt refreshed and energetic, and he seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

Arriving on the deck again, Zhang Xuan found that his father-in-law Mi Pei was quickly reeling in the fishing line. He ran over and took a look and found that he had already harvested two yellowfin tuna.

Seeing him coming, Mi Pei said with a smile: "You're up, come here for me, I'll have a cigarette."

"Okay." Zhang Xuan took over the position with a bang.

He asked: "Uncle, how do you feel in the sea?"

Mi Pei lit a Cuban cigar that Li Wendong had prepared for him, looked at the skyline where the sea and the sky meet, took a comfortable puff and said:

"Good! I feel indescribably good! I never thought that I would have the opportunity to come to the United States, go fishing in the Pacific Ocean, and smoke a cigar."

This is the truth. It’s not easy to travel abroad these days. Many people who have thought about it their whole life don’t have the courage to do so.

The two of them were talking, and Mi Pei took a cigar from the side: "You want one too?"

Zhang Xuan doesn’t like this thing at all, but it depends on who the cigar is for, right? The future father-in-law gave it to me, so I definitely couldn't refuse it, so I happily took the cigar and started smoking with it.

In the afternoon, their luck seemed to be good and bad. All the three caught were yellowfin tuna. According to Casey, they probably encountered a school of yellowfin tuna.

At the end of the day in the evening, we weighed the fish and, excluding what was eaten, the three of us caught a total of 327 kilograms of yellowfin tuna in the day, which was a pretty good harvest.

Affected by the tide, strong winds and big waves arose in the sea at dusk. Casey directed the two ships to stop at a shelter at the other end of the island. He planned to spend the night here and continue the operation tomorrow.

In the evening, Zhang Xuanjing, who had been playing all day, sat at his desk and wrote.

At present, the total number of words in "The World" has exceeded the 900,000 mark. Victory is in sight and must be won in one go.

In a foreign country, Mi Jian, who had been chatting with his parents and Li Wendong for a while, was afraid that he would appear cold, so he came to his bedroom halfway and sat quietly to accompany him.
