On the calm sea, there is no wind and there are three feet of waves, and in the midst of the waves, a wooden trawler with a length of more than 30 meters is moving with difficulty on the sea.
The mottled hull below the waterline of the fishing boat has made it impossible to see the original color of the paint water, and the deafening sound of the steam engine in the engine room seems to indicate that the working conditions of the most critical machine on the fishing boat seem to be much worse than before, like an old cow in its twilight years is still struggling to pull the ox cart uphill, which is already a little inadequate.
A flock of skuas were flying with the old trawler, and the skas who lived in the area already knew that once the boats had netted their nets, some sardines or shrimp that were too small would not be wanted.
The sailors on the ship would throw the fish that were too small into the sea, and that was when they had a good meal.
If the sailors are in a good mood, they will laugh and throw the fish in the air, watching the skuas bite the fish and shrimp into their mouths one by one as if performing aerial acrobatics.
The skuas had been following the old trawler for a morning, and in one morning, the boat had netted six times, two of which were good, and the skuas had been wiped twice.
At this moment, the fishing compartment of the fishing boat was already filled with most of the seafood, and there was still a little wine to be filled, and the tons of fresh goods made the sound of the coolie-like fishing boat engine even more sharp and piercing.
Not only the engines on the fishing boats were screaming, but even the skuas in the sky were screaming loudly at the moment.
"Boss, get off the Internet café, you can't even wait for those thief birds in the sky," a sailor shouted.
On the side of the ship, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a stout body carved by the sea breeze with a frosty face was holding a pipe in his mouth, and he kept staring at the sea water next to him, and his focused appearance seemed to be able to really see through the sea water.
Hearing the cries of the sailors on board, the man lifted his gaze from the monotonous water, looked at the sky, and then waved a strong hand and said loudly, "Get off the net, take this net, and we will go home."
With the man's movements, several sailors on the ship were busy, and one by one they put the sorted fishing nets from the stern into the sea.
The man called the boss came to the wheelhouse from the side of the boat and said directly to the man at the helm, "Monte, right rudder, I feel that there is a current under the sea here, and those silverhead spots like to run with the current."
"Okay," said the helmsman, turning his head to look at the seamen on deck who had released their nets, and as soon as the nets were finished, the man at the helm skillfully turned the rudder and made a large circle to the right of the fishing boat.
The captain of the boat came to the deck again, and watched with the other sailors as the floats of the nets lowered from the stern.
"Boss, this Barracuda is too old, it's been running for more than ten years, and it can't run anymore, so you can get a new boat for everyone."
"Yes, the market is so good now, I haven't seen it when I'm so big, no matter how many goods there are, as long as they are pulled to the shore, they will be swept away, and now the buyers of those canneries in the city are now squatting on the dock all day long, and seeing the goods is like seeing beautiful girls, one by one they all pounced, we used to beg them, and now it's their turn to beg me."
"I heard that the business of those canneries is so good that they are working overtime every day, and there are so many orders from outside that those factories dare not take them" "Last time I heard from the sailors outside in the tavern, now there is a lot of chaos on the mainland, it seems that there is going to be a war, the demons are coming back, and there is a city that seems to have been wiped out by the demons."
"Whatever, as long as we have money to make" "It's a pity that in two months, as soon as the port freezes, you won't be able to go to sea, otherwise you will make more money" Several sailors took advantage of this gap in front of the net to talk here, and the captain of the boat still held a pipe in his mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on the stern, but in his mind, the appearance of a beautiful steel trawler more than 50 meters long flashed in his mind.
What sailors can think of, how could he not have imagined that the order for a new fishing boat has been placed, and at the Minsko shipyard, he found an old friend, and with a little connection, he can get the boat in September without queuing.
Now the shipyard's business is also booming, not only is it booming, but the fishing boats produced by the shipyard are like those canned fish, and the price has also begun to rise.
Just a month ago, the price of the steel trawler with a length of more than 50 meters and a total tonnage of 460 tons, that is, just more than 1,500 gold coins, he considered changing to a new ship at that time, but at that time he only hesitated a little, wanting to wait until next year to change, and then let the Barracuda hold on for a while, so he hesitated, and missed the best opportunity to buy a ship.
As soon as it was delayed, the price of fishing boats in the shipyard suddenly rose by 20 as a whole.
After the cigarettes in the pipe were all smoked, the boat boss knocked the whalebone pipe in his hand on the side of the ship, "Alright, let's work, close the Internet café" The sailors on the ship immediately turned the winch at the stern, and with the rotation of the winch, the lowered fishing net was collected little by little, and as the fishing net was slowly retracted, the face of the boat boss slowly sank.
The more easily the sailors turned the winch, the more they would be rewarded, for all the gains were heavy.
The last fishing nets were all put away, empty, not to mention fish, not even shrimp, and what everyone didn't expect was that at the bottom of the fishing net, everyone found a neat hole with a diameter of more than two meters.
The captain of the boat and a few sailors crouched on the edge of the net, carefully examining the strange hole in the net.
"Is it a monster in the sea?"
asked the sailor's teeth.
"No, if it's a monster, how much strength it takes to tear out such a big hole, we should feel it on the ship," a more experienced sailor shook his head.
The boat boss twisted the fishing net at the mouth of the hole with his hand, and took the fishing line at the broken place to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Not only the captain of the ship saw it, but even the other sailors.
I don't know what is in the water, but I can make this net like this in an instant, and if that thing is aimed at this boat, everyone on the boat is a little chilled at the thought of this.
One by one, the sailors looked at the ship's boss.
"Today's harvest is enough, let's go back" Hearing this, everyone felt relieved The Barracuda began to turn around and headed north, and after a half-day of resuming its voyage at sea, the trawler, which had a good harvest today, finally entered a noisy fishing dock on the island of Kaga, which was full of fishing boats.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong all the way, everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the dock safely.
Back at the dock, the fish caught today on the Barracuda were quickly snapped up, and after a busy day with a dry sailor, today's Barracuda brought the ship's boss more than 90 silver coins, which was a lot higher than the market a month ago, and the sailors who received today's wages left happily.
The boss of the boat directly called a trailer to unload the fishing net with a big hole in the boat, and took it back overnight for people to make up, otherwise it would definitely not be able to go to sea tomorrow.
A few hours later, as the fishing boats came back one after another, selling out the fresh, the whole wharf became less and less crowded, and after twelve o'clock in the night, with the departure of the last few cannery buyers on the wharf, the whole fishing wharf area was completely quiet.
There was only the sound of the sea swelling.
At this time, the stern of the Barracuda, a black man like a legendary water ghost, emerged from the water silently, grabbed the side of the ship without a sound, and then flipped onto the deck of the fishing boat.
Then the figure came to the door of the crew's cabin on the fishing boat, and the small lock that locked the door of the crew's cabin was twisted by the man, and with a slight click, it lost its effect and turned into a mass of scrap metal.
Three minutes later, the figure found a set of sailor's clothes in the crew compartment, and after changing into them, he quickly went ashore and left the fishing dock.
There are almost no street lights on the streets of the city, but this has no effect on Zhang Tie, who has dark vision, and Zhang Tie walks down the street, looking at the place curiously There are no buildings that are too tall in the city, almost all of the buildings are below six floors, the tops are spires or slopes, and the facades of most buildings are white, beige or light wood, and they retain the most primitive texture of the building materials used to build houses, such as wood and stone, which are natural and simple, but also strong and heavy.
There are almost no tall chimneys like those in Black Flame City in the city, there are no tracks and traces of rail vehicles on the ground, and there are not even many cars parked on both sides of the street.
