Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"Try harder. Where did your strength go? Didn't you eat?"

Li Qingluo stood next to Wu Gong, with a wicked smile on her face and kept muttering.

Huang Rong was also smiling, looking at the vast sea, thinking that she would soon be able to return to Peach Blossom Island, return to her home, and see her daughter. Huang Rong's heart felt extremely smooth.

Wu Gong clung tightly to the two bamboo poles of the big net. The two bamboo poles were about five or six meters long. They were tightly tied with tough roots in the middle to form a net. The net was very thin and dense, and the bait was tied to it. , extend the bamboo pole into the sea water, and keep dragging it as the boat moves forward, you can easily get rich fish.

However, this kind of thing requires a lot of power.

Otherwise, if the fish hadn’t been pulled up, the person might have been pulled directly down.

There were no high-strength fishing rods and fishing lines in this era, so sea fishing was absolutely impossible. We could only rely on fishing nets to catch some greedy fish.

Because the bait has been spread, even if the boat moves forward, you can still see dense schools of fish swimming back and forth under the water.

Huang Rong was very skilled in fishing. Under her guidance, Wu Gong became very familiar with it and began to handle the fishing net in front of him. As his arms expanded, the clothes on his arms collapsed into pieces in the blink of an eye, revealing his ferocious body. The muscular arms and the fishing net that had been unable to be dragged up were pulled up from the water in the blink of an eye.

The sound of rushing water was loud and non-stop, attracting the attention of many people around, but the net was empty, not even a grain of shrimp was caught.

Huang Rong couldn't help but burst into laughter. When she smiled, the crowd gathered around her also started laughing.

Li Qingluo was laughing so hard that she inadvertently revealed all kinds of charms. Wang Yuyan, who was wearing a gauze dress, was also smiling, but compared to her mother, she was much more ladylike. She covered her mouth with her little hands and her body was gentle. Shaking.

Wu Gong's face was filled with strange surprise. : "This fishing net is broken and I can't catch any fish."

"Don't do this. If you can't catch fish, your physical skills are not good. Don't blame the net."

Li Qingluo held her stomach, smiled, and unceremoniously ruined the situation.

"Godmother, I did everything you taught me. Why can't I catch fish? Is there something wrong with what you taught me?"

Huang Rong rolled her eyes angrily: "How about making a bet to see if I can catch it."

"What's the bet?"

"If I win, then you must pour zhenqi into the thirty-six major acupuncture points of your body within a month and operate them normally. If you can't do it, within five years You are not allowed to leave Peach Blossom Island.”

"What if I successfully pour the zhenqi into the thirty-six major acupuncture points?"

"We'll wait until you win. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

"I will be a witness." Li Qingluo raised her hand excitedly.

Wu Gong has not agreed yet.

Huang Rong had already walked over and grabbed the fishing net.

"Watch it!"

When the fishing net entered the water, Huang Rong grabbed the bottom of the fishing net with both hands and dropped the fishing net deeply into the sea. Then she kept shaking her arms and began to shuttle quickly among the fish.

Wu Gong didn't see very clearly at first.

But as time went by, her arms shook faster and faster, and the fishing net continued to float up and down on the water. Just like rinsing chopsticks, a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs could have easily escaped, but at this moment when they touched the fishing net, their bodies seemed to be stained with glue and then stuck to them. The Internet remained motionless.

"rise!"

Dazzling water splashes appeared on the sea. Huang Rong was still shaking the fishing net in his hand. With the shaking of his arms, a large number of fish, shrimps and crabs quickly fell out of the fishing net. Huang Rong used her weak and slender-looking He held the fishing rod with his arms, and then tilted it upwards like a seesaw.

The fishing net fell to the deck.

Wu Gong finally understood. It turned out that Huang Rong had deliberately not taught him how to shake the fishing net, and had set up a trap in advance, waiting for him here.

"No, godmother, you are hiding a trick. You didn't teach me to shake the fishing net just now. This doesn't count, this doesn't count."

Wu Gong jumped on his feet, trying hard to find a reasonable explanation for his air force.

But at this moment, Li Qingluo's expression changed.

She reached out and groped in the fishing net for a while, and quickly pulled out a bone that had been bitten and covered with tooth marks.

Wang Yuyan immediately screamed.

But Li Qingluo was not afraid of the bones in her hands at all.

Huang Rong took the bone and took a look at it: "This is a human bone. It should be a certain bone on the arm."

"Huh? What's there over there?"

On the boat, someone suddenly pointed in the distance.

Densely packed pieces of wood in the distance, accompanied by some unsunk wooden barrels, were slowly drifting towards this side.

As the wood floated closer and closer, the remains of some boxes, the wreckage of a large number of ships, and some corpses that had not been eaten clean by the fish also slowly floated here.

He looked at a corpse.

Li Qingluo said with certainty: "It should have been less than an hour since death. Although the body was swollen and swollen, of course it was not completely decomposed, and the bones were still stuck to the body."

"Why are there corpses in this place? Are there pirates?"

Li Qingluo shook her head in confusion. :""There should be absolutely no pirates. It's very close to Fuzhou. The troops of the Eighteen Thieves have been guarding the trade routes. "

"Didn't several of the Eighteen Thieves die?" Wu Gong suddenly remembered the pirates he killed in Mantuo Villa.

"There are just three pirate leaders, but their foundation is still there, and new leaders have been elected. These pirates cannot be killed cleanly. Even after one group is killed, a new group will appear one after another. Continuously, endlessly." Li Qingluo sighed, and said with some compassion: "I also encountered pirates when I was doing business in Jiangnan. All the goods on the ship were robbed, and I paid a lot of ransom. .

After the pirate leader took the money, he told me that if everyone had land to farm, then no one would become a pirate. But I never thought much about it. Whether I had land or not, it didn’t matter whether I had enough food or not. It’s not a premise that there are no pirates. The only premise is that there are always greedy people in this world, and there are always people who want to get something for nothing.

They will not just be obedient people and farm the land!"

Wu Gong nodded. He very much agreed with Li Qingluo's point of view.

The two were in the process of chatting.

The pilot who climbed onto the mast to look out suddenly made a violent noise.

Flags waved and whistles blew.

A large number of sailors immediately rushed to the plywood, holding spears in their hands, and began to drive all the guests on the deck back to the cabin.

The ship boss came over and said respectfully to Huang Rong: "Gang Leader Huang, a strange ship was found ahead, and there was no flag on the bow.

Why don't you guys go back to the cabin first? We need to speed up and there may be some bumps. "

"No, we're right here."

"good!"

The boss of the ship did not force it, and put all his attention on the sea in the distance.

It didn't take long for several warships to appear on the sea ahead. They seemed to be confronting each other. Because of the distance, there was no way to see the details of the ships.

However, through the black dots, you should be able to see that it is an artillery with a very large diameter.

Sweat immediately appeared on the captain's forehead. They are just a passenger ship. If they engage in a close-quarters battle, there might be hope of winning.

But if it is attacked by artillery fire from a long distance, there is almost no chance of survival.

"Boss, the ship signaled us to leave quickly." The sailor responsible for looking out from high altitude immediately roared downwards.

The captain of the ship breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered to turn the ship around and prepare to take a long way away.

"Haven't you seen those ships?"

"I haven't seen it near the sea, but I have seen it once in the far sea. It seems to come from other continents.

I heard that he had fought against the Eighteenth Thieves before, but was driven away by the Eighteenth Thieves. "

Wu Gong had a curious expression on his face.

Huang Rong caught the curiosity on his face and immediately asked him with a smile: "What, you want to go over and take a look."

Wu Gong rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, safety is the most important thing."

…

The passenger ship quickly passed around the ships that were confronting each other in the distance.

Continue driving towards Zhoushan Islands.

But even after bypassing the confronting ships, the subsequent voyage was not stable.

Along the way there continued to be broken corpses of ships, as well as various wooden barrels.

You must know that the sea is extremely wide. Usually if a ship is damaged and sinks, there is a high probability that no one will find it.

But now the sea near Fuzhou has almost turned into a maritime cemetery.

There were dead people and corpses everywhere, as well as various shipwrecks.

It looks very scary.

We walked forward for about two hours.

The boat suddenly stopped moving.

The boss of the ship ran to the side of the ship and looked down.

He shouted and ordered the crew to go down and fix the leak.

It turned out that there was a hole in the bottom of the ship due to constant collision with floating objects on the sea.

Fortunately, the sailors at the bottom discovered it in time, so no major mistakes occurred.

However, a dull atmosphere began to spread throughout the ship.

After all, those corpses floating in the sea were so terrifying in appearance. Each one of them was soaked and swollen, turning into a giant.

Some of them were in tatters and were eaten by fish in the sea.

Several barrels were fished out of the water below, and it was these barrels that formed a clump that crashed into the boat.

Passenger ships are just passenger ships after all, and the wood used has not been reinforced with multiple layers like warships.

Therefore, these fragile-looking wooden barrels can crash the ship.

It was getting dark.

The sailors were busy, and as the temperature dropped, mist gradually appeared on the sea.

At this moment, a sailor in charge of the lookout roared.

"There are torches on the sea!"
