Early the next morning, Baihua Yeyong came with six or seven young people in black professional attire and knocked on the door.
I was sleeping in a daze, yawning, and opened the door while wearing big pants.
This encounter made her blush a lot.
Naturally, I was a little embarrassed, so I touched my nose, stretched out, and put on my clothes.
"Come here so early, just tell me if you have anything to do."
I twisted my stiff neck and said to Baihua Yeyong.
"We are going to the harbor.
We will leave this morning and we should be there within twelve hours.
Please prepare.
The seven of us will always be with you to assist you."
Baihua Yeyong nodded to me.
I glanced at the young people behind her, four men and two women, all looking weak and sitting in the office answering the phone.
I shook my head in my heart, but I didn't refuse.
Since they all work in that development company, I won’t tell them how dangerous this is, but they should also understand.
"Do you have any cigarettes?
Give me one."
I put on my clothes and found that I was in such a hurry that I didn't even bring a cigarette with me.
So he scratched his head and asked Baihua Yeyong.
Before she could say anything, a young man behind her handed me a cigarette.
It's a local cigarette that I've never smoked.
After lighting it, I puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Let's go."
Baihua Yeyong led the way, and eight of us rode in the car and rushed to the harbor.
Before leaving, I checked the weather.
It was cloudless.
Although the weather at sea is unpredictable, going out on a sunny day can be considered a good sign.
The two cars we took were both Chinese-made Hummers.
There is a waterproof car sticker with a trident and a shovel crossed on both sides of the car door.
It should be the trademark of Baihua Yeyong and his company.
Along the way, I learned the names of the two other people in the car with me.
The woman's name is Yang Qingqing, and the man's name is Chen Lei.
Both of them are intellectuals and top students, and they are a little cold when they talk to me.
If it weren't for Baihua Yeyong's calm expression towards me, I'm afraid he would have started to mock me at this time.
I don't bother to argue with them.
After all, I am just a few years older than them, let alone their experience.
I threw the cigarette butt out of the car window and started teasing the ghost boy who had just woken up and looked unhappy.
After arriving at the harbor, it was not as crowded as expected, and all that came into view were the blue water and ships.
The residents next to the South China Sea make a living by fishing, and fishing boats naturally occupy the main position.
Therefore, the scene of a ship full of containers did not appear in front of me.
What was rented out to sea was an iron fishing boat, weighing five tons.
It was in tatters, and there were many patches on the hull.
However, one look at this kind of ship and you can tell that it is an old ship with a lot of experience and number of sailings.
There were four sailors on the boat.
The boss of the boat was a local named Hu Hei.
As his name suggests, he looked quite dark.
When we arrived, people from his company were still negotiating with him.

Because of the price and sailing issues, the boss of the ship insisted not to go to sea.
He said to them in blunt Mandarin: "Go to Yutou Reef and seek death.
Your price is too low and it is so dangerous."
"Our boat is small and may capsize."
I really don’t know where Yutou Reef is, but a five-ton fishing boat cannot withstand too much wind and waves.
After Baihua Yeyong walked over to understand the situation, he quadrupled the price of the boat rental and promised that once he arrived at Yutou Reef and encountered danger, the boat boss could decide the route of the boat himself.
Although the South China Sea is a fertile land, the vast majority of fishermen can only barely make ends meet.
Twice the price was enough to cover a year's expenses for a local fisherman.
The boat boss was a little hesitant at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, he took a few puffs of cigarette, but remained silent.
Baihua Yeyong was unambiguous when he saw the appearance of the ship boss.
At that moment, he directly raised the price by double the price, saying that if he wanted to go, he would go, and if he didn’t go, he would find someone else.
At this moment, my eyes widened.
I didn't expect that this mixed-race girl, who usually had a gentle face, could be so resolute when doing things.
When the matter came to this point, the boss of the ship stamped out his cigarette butts and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's make a deal first.
If something goes wrong, we'll have to pay more.
You poor people, don't suffer a loss when the time comes."
Afterwards, he hurriedly called on the sailors to carry supplies onto the ship, while the ship's boss lit incense alone at the bow of the ship, offered sacrifices to Mazu, and prayed that this voyage would go smoothly.
When I saw this scene, I borrowed a lighter from the young man named Chen Lei and walked towards the boss of the ship.
"What are you going to do?"
When Yang Qingqing saw me walking towards the boss of the boat, she thought I was going to cause trouble, so she quickly grabbed me with a bad look on her face: "Don't you know that the fishermen in the South China Sea cannot be disturbed when they are offering sacrifices to Mazu?
" When other people heard the voice here, they also gathered around and looked at me with evil eyes.
Baihua Yeyong also stared at me with a strange expression.
I was a little uncomfortable with the expressions of this group of people, so I sneered and said, "Then do you know that outsiders have to worship Mazu when they go to sea?
This means that they have given their lives to him.
Besides, who told you They are childish fishermen” I broke free from Yang Qingqing's hand, walked straight to the boat boss, and bowed sincerely to Yixiang.
Yang Qingqing gritted her teeth, as if she had something to say.
Seeing that we seemed to be quarreling again, the boat boss said quickly: "This gentleman is right, you are unruly.
He understands, you, laymen."
Hearing what the ship boss said, Yang Qingqing was naturally embarrassed and could only tilt her head as if nothing happened.
Several other people also touched their noses.
But Baihua Yeyong came over and bowed lightly to me and said, "I'm sorry, Mr.
Lin, they are ignorant."
"It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, but you have to know that sea graves are not the same as droughts.
It's possible for you."
I was about to speak, but Baihua Yeyong was the first to say, "Mr.
Lin, don't worry, Yeyong understands."
After saying that, Baihua Yeyong called their people and whispered something together.
Although I couldn't hear clearly what was said, after the discussion, they looked at me much kinder than before.
The route has already been determined.
We need to go around an island first, where the ship owner will unload his cargo and then purchase some necessary equipment and supplies.
Wait until everything is over before turning to Fish Head Reef.
On the same day, we set off from the harbor.
For the first leg of the voyage, we did not require speed.
We only needed to reach the next island twelve hours ago.
I made this request because the weather at sea can change at any time and cannot be controlled by simple weather forecasts.

Furthermore, this is my first time going to sea.
Although I don’t know much, there are some things that I I still know the basics, whether I learned it from books or heard it mentioned by others.
All in all, you must be careful at sea, because if you accidentally make a mistake, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.
I remember very clearly that I once received an antique on the rooftop.
The antique seller said something to me that deeply touched me, that is, there are not only fish in the sea.
Since ancient times, there have been countless secrets buried under this blue continent.
No one knows whether there is wealth or crisis under this deep blue.
The fishing boat sailed with the wind, and the weather was always very good and cloudless, but I didn't know how long it would last.
It was also the first time for the sailors to come into contact with the expedition team, and they were very curious about us, especially because there were three delicate beauties on the boat, which made their eyes bulge.
I took a breath of sea breeze.
The scenery of the sea was beautiful.
It was not as monotonous as I imagined, but white and blue, and even some silver.
The vast expanse is like a reflected sky, deeply reflected in my pupils.
However, my purpose is not here.
I am more concerned about where the Yutou Reef I went to this time is.
I took out a cigarette that Chen Lei gave me from my pocket, lit it against the wind, and fell into deep thought.
I was in such a hurry when I arrived that I didn't even have time to bring Hyakuki Night Talk with me.
The ghost boy was even more lethargic and was still resting in the cabin at this time.
However, even if he woke up, it would be of no use.
As for Baihua Yeyong and the others, I felt there was something wrong with them from the very beginning.
It's just that I can't tell what's wrong.
As for Ji Chengxue, I don’t know why.
From the moment I met Baihua Yeyong, no matter how I called her, she seemed to have disappeared, but there was no news.
Just when I was thinking about this matter, Baihua Yeyong suddenly walked up to me and asked me, "Mr.
Lin, I have a question.
I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"What's the problem?"
I was called back from my thoughts and touched my nose.
In a blink of an eye, the cigarette ashes almost burned my hands.
I threw away the cigarette butt and looked at Baihua Yeyong.
"Just now, Mr.
Lin said that these people are not fishermen.
Could it be that Mr.
Lin discovered something about Ye Yong's poor eyesight?
Please let Mr.
Lin know."
Baihua Ye Yong bowed to me, again in standard Japanese etiquette.
I touched my nose and was about to speak when Baihua Yeyong asked again, seemingly unintentionally: "It is rumored that in ancient times there was a kind of orb called Dragon Wrap.
It is said that this thing once appeared in the South China Sea, but it is not Do you know if you can see me this time?
Mr.
Lin, have you heard of this legend?"
I nodded and said: "Longbao is also called Zhaobaili.
It is a rare clam bead.
According to legend, the soup made from its powder can make people live forever after taking it.
However, this is indeed a bit ridiculous.

I once read in an ancient book that there are actually countless beads like dragon wraps in the South China Sea, just like grains of rice at home.
If you really want them, just ask the boat boss."
I chuckled.
"Ouch, brother, we have to stop, I'm afraid we might encounter a dragon king fish."
Baihua Yeyong and I were chatting when suddenly we saw the boat boss running over in a hurry and said to us.
"Dragon King Fish" I frowned.
I have seen this thing in ancient books, but we don't seem to have gone offshore yet, how could we encounter such a thing
