I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Shui Jing immediately understood his intention, but Shao Yu was startled: "Casting a net?"

After asking, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "Oh, I understand! Even if you can't get rid of the sea monster, you can't come back empty-handed. You have to catch some fish and shrimp and bring them back as trophies." ,right?"

Shui Jing was helpless, and while walking towards the mast with Xie Wuyi, he patted Shaoyu on the forehead and said, "What is it, hurry up and pass the order."

Shui Jing knew that what Xie Wuyi meant was that although they went where fishermen could go, they didn't do what fishermen would do.

One of the things that fishermen will definitely do when they come to sea is fishing. If there is any difference between what they did on this trip and what fishermen did, it is that they did not fish.

However, although Shaoyu misunderstood what Wuyi meant, what he said was true. Even if fishing was not the key to the disappearance, it would not be a waste of time to catch some fish and shrimp to bring back.

Shaoyu rubbed her forehead that hurt from being slapped, and then shouted very worriedly: "But we just passed by the place where they used to throw their nets! There must not be as many fish here as there! Shall we turn around and go back?"

Xie Wuyi's footsteps paused, but he quickly said, "No, it's right here."

According to the old fisherman at the helm, the so-called "usual place to cast nets" is just a sea area chosen by fishermen. It does not mean that fishermen have to get there before they start fishing.

This is like restaurants and teahouses. Some restaurants are famous and have many customers, but the food and drinks may not be the "best".Some restaurants are not well-known, but their dishes and drinks are unique.

Diners and drinkers have their own favorite places because of their different preferences. The same is true for fishermen. They all have their own favorite sea areas.

Shaoyu listened to what Xie Wuyi said so firmly, she stopped talking nonsense, and obediently went down to deliver the order with a muffled "Oh".

Shui Jing walked under the mast with Xie Wuyi, and was about to raise his hand to untie the sail rope, but a few fishermen beside him immediately stopped his movement and asked strangely, "What are you going to do?"

Shui Jing said: "Fail in."

The fishermen were puzzled: "Why do you want to furl the sails?"

Shui Jing pointed at Xie Wuyi and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that he would stop the boat, draw the sails, and cast a net to catch fish."

After hearing the words, the fishermen looked at each other in unison, and then looked at each other, seemingly hesitating to speak.

After looking at each other for a long time, one of the older fishermen cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness...you don't need to furl the sails or stop the boat when fishing..."

Xie Wuyi rarely showed a trace of bewilderment, and said, "If you don't reef the sails, and don't stop the boat, how do you cast the net?"

The fisherman laughed dryly, scratched his cheeks, and asked, "Your Highness said... cast a net, but did you see it on the shore?"

Xie Wuyi said truthfully, "Exactly."

The fisherman nodded and smiled when he heard the words, as if he understood why Wuyi had such a misunderstanding, he explained somewhat cautiously: "His Royal Highness does not know, the kind of small nets that are cast by hand are usually in shallow water or near the shore. It is used on the lake, we use it for fishing..."

He turned his head and pointed to a horizontal pole hanging from the stern and a huge net wrapped around the pole, and said: "Most of them are this kind of trawl net, just sink the pole and that net into the sea and drag it away. Stop the ship."

Xie Wuyi looked up at the crossbar and the giant net carefully, as if he had thought about how it would work in the sea, then nodded thoughtfully, and said sincerely: "I see, I am so grateful. taught."

The fisherman quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare."

He paused, probably because he found that His Royal Highness was not as cold as he looked, and seemed to be very curious about the fishing net, so he smiled and said, "If your Highness is interested, why don't you follow us to the stern of the boat? Let's take down the net, and then talk to His Highness about the benefits of this net?"

Xie Wuyi nodded and said, "That's very good, I'm sorry."

The fisherman waved his hands and shook his head again, not even daring to say.

Shui Jing and Xie Wuyi followed the fishermen to the stern of the boat, watching them untie the rope hanging from the crossbar, and slowly lower the crossbar like lowering a sail.

When they descended to the height of their heads, they raised their hands to wind the net that was wound several times on the crossbar back and forth, stretch it out, and the net became a huge "hammock".

After spreading out the huge net, one person held up the hem of the net and dragged the crossbar to the outside of the railing, while the other continued to put in a long sling and slowly sank the crossbar together with the net into the water.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled obliquely on the water surface, coating the water ripples where the net sank with a layer of soft red light.

After sinking the net into the water, the fishermen began to tell them the beauty of the trawling net with great enthusiasm.

Like, why is there that crossbar?

Because if only two ropes are used to hold the two ends of the net, the fishing net will continue to close in the middle, and with the crossbar in front, the fishing net can always be opened wide, covering a larger area underwater, "swallowing "More fish and shrimp.

For another example, why make it sink to the bottom of the water instead of trying to make it float on the water?

Because the boat is in the front and the net is behind, when the boat passes the water surface, it will disperse the fish near the water surface. If the net floats on the water surface, the fish in front will have been frightened away by the boat, and the fishing net will catch nothing.

For another example, how to ensure that once fish and shrimp enter, they cannot escape?

Because there are fine hooks distributed on the fishing net, once the fish hits the net surface, it will struggle, and when struggling, the fins, scales or tail of the fish will be hooked by the hooks, and the hooks will be embedded in the body of the fish, and the fish will be overwhelmed by the mesh. The tighter the wrap.

Xie Wuyi listened very carefully, and Shui Jing was also amazed.

Seeing the joyful faces and the sincere pride on the fishermen's faces when they talked about the fishing nets, Shui Jing couldn't help thinking of the scenes when he watched blacksmiths forging weapons in Zhongling and saw craftsmen carving jade in Qiongguo.

Their movements are as easy as a padding and an ox, as if the tools in their hands have become part of their bodies, as if what they do is as simple as eating and drinking.

As for those extremely delicate steps and extremely complicated processes, Shui Jing thought that even with the help of spiritual energy, he might not be able to complete them as delicately and skillfully as they did.

These are skills that human beings have spent countless efforts and time to comprehend and master for generations, and these skills have been handed down and will be continuously trimmed and improved in future generations to discard the chaff and preserve the chaff.

After talking about the fishing nets, the fishermen were no longer restrained, as if they had opened up the chatterbox, talking about their experiences when they went to sea in previous years.

Some said that they had encountered hurricane waves before, but they saved themselves from danger by virtue of their experience. Some said that they caught a strange object while fishing and took it ashore as a treasure. After asking at the pawn shop, they found out that it was a chamber pot. Some people even got excited He slipped his mouth and revealed the fact that he crossed the Bone Fan Reef to go to the deep sea privately.

The man covered his mouth as soon as he realized that he had slipped, almost biting off his tongue.

After hearing this, Xie Wuyi didn't blame him, only said that the deep sea is dangerous, even if he entered it, he might be extremely cautious.

The moon rises, and the silver light shines everywhere.

Shao Yu didn't know when she stood beside Shui Jing, and suddenly poked him with her elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you think we will catch a sea monster's treasure chest full of rare treasures later?" Abnormal treasure?"

Shui Jing turned his head: "What about the sea monster?"

Shao Yu took it for granted, "It's in the box!"

Shui Jing smiled and asked, "Isn't the box full of rare treasures?"

Shaoyu blinked, and then seemed to have encountered a difficult decision. She frowned and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, saying: "Then let's not confuse rare treasures, but confuse sea monsters. After all, we are Came here to exorcise demons."

After speaking, he sighed heavily as if reluctantly parting with love.

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows, then turned her head and looked ahead, raised her hand and patted Shao Yu's shoulder, expressing her admiration for his dedication to the siren.

The fishermen were still chatting, and the three of them listened attentively. When they mentioned something interesting, everyone burst into laughter.

From time to time, Shui Jing jotted down some important points in her heart, thinking of writing them into her own booklet.

Suddenly, the hull stopped for a moment.

Everyone on the boat flickered, and the fishermen leaning against the railing almost fell into the sea on their backs, only to be dragged back by their companions in a hurry.

Xie Wuyi frowned, and Shui Jing and Shaoyu were also surprised.

The old fisherman waved his hand and said, "It's all right, maybe the crossbar scratched something at the bottom of the water."

As he spoke, he turned around, leaned forward over the railing, and tugged at the thick rope of the trawl net. Feeling that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved.

Just when he was about to take back his hand, a giant leaped up from the water on the left side and rushed towards him!

Xie Wuyi quickly stretched out his hand to grab the clothes behind him, but the huge object had already hit his body, and the powerful force brought him to the right, and Xie Wuyi was also staggered to the right by this force.

Shui Jing took a step to Xie Wuyi's side, grabbed the fisherman by the back collar and swung the fisherman half a circle outside the railing with his right hand, before throwing the fisherman back onto the deck.

The giant fell back into the water with a "crash", splashing huge waves, and the ripples on the water surface shook the hull violently.

The fisherman fell down on the deck and shivered, as if he hadn't recovered from the thrill just now, he asked in a trembling voice, "What... what?"

Shaoyu had drawn his sword out of its sheath at this time, and chased after Xie Wuyi and Shui Jing in two steps, looked at the place where the giant fell into the water and said, "The sea-monster! It must be the sea-monster!"

Xie Wuyi didn't have time to answer him, he lowered his head in the water to look for the trace of the giant, but found nothing.

At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky. Although the moonlight was not too dark, it was not as radiant as sunlight that could penetrate the water surface. It was almost impossible to see clearly below the water surface through the moonlight.

Although he didn't see exactly what it was, but just looking at its body shape when it came out of the water, Xie Wuyi already knew what it was - it was probably the reason why the fishermen disappeared.

Just as Xie Wuyi was thinking, the boat shook violently again. This time he could clearly feel that something was dragging the fishing net. He grabbed the railing and turned to the fishermen, "Go and hold on to the mast. Close to the side of the ship."

The fishermen nodded hurriedly, helped the fisherman who had fallen to the ground and ran to the mast in the middle of the deck.

Shui Jing was beside Xie Wuyi, still looking at the water surface. Although the incident happened suddenly just now, he felt that he had seen the appearance of the giant.

Pointy, sharp teeth, shiny skin.

Shui Jing said: "It's a shark."

"Shark?" Xie Wuyi turned around, "But Shark shouldn't..."

"It shouldn't appear in the shallow sea, should it?" Shui Jing interrupted him.

Giant marine fish such as whales and sharks live in the deep sea all year round, and the "deep sea" mentioned here is not a simple area divided by the bone fan reef, but the extremely far and deep depths of the South China Sea.

Xie Wuyi frowned and nodded.

Shui Jing just couldn't believe it when he saw the giant shark for the first time, but after a while he already thought of the reason, he looked at Xie Wuyi, and said: "The disappearance appeared after the mirage, but it is actually related to the mirage. It’s irrelevant, what’s really relevant should be the storm that caused the sea to swell that night in the mirage, or in other words, the focus is not on the rain, but on the wind.”

Xie Wuyi was startled, and immediately understood what he meant.

When the storm happened, the coastal waters rose suddenly.If it was just raining, the water surface would not rise so rapidly. The real culprit that caused the sea to rise so suddenly that it almost submerged the coast was the hurricane at sea. The giant sharks in the offshore were wrapped in the sea and brought them along.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Xie Wuyi asked again: "It just appeared now, is it because we lowered the net to catch fish?"
