The sea breeze that had been cool and refreshing suddenly turned salty and wet.
Xu Taiping sat at the stern, wrinkled his nose, and said, "The pressure has increased."
"En!" Ah Man stood beside Xu Taiping, looking at the horizon and said, "It should be raining."
"It should be filled with lightning and rain." Xu Taiping said.
"Oh? How do you know? " Ah Man asked curiously.
"I used to go out to sea with my friends. I knew a bit about common sense, but it wasn't really a profession." Xu Taiping laughed.
"Hahaha, there aren't many people who can sense the changes in the weather unless they are experienced old fishermen or young men who used to fish, right? Or was born by the sea? " Ah Man asked.
"I've never been in a fishing match and I'm not born by the sea. Maybe it's due to my talent." Xu Taiping said.
"Haha, that talent of yours isn't bad!" Ah Man said.
"Captain, should we hide?" Xia Jinxuan asked worriedly.
Don't worry, it's normal to encounter thunderstorms at sea. Our ship's tonnage is still relatively large, so normally, thunderstorms are not a problem. Even if it's thunderstorm weather, it's still enough to deal with it. Ah Man said.
"That's good!" Xia Jinxuan let out a breath of relief. Suddenly, the fishing rod in front of her trembled, and then the fishing line abruptly stretched taut.
Xia Jinxuan shouted excitedly, "The fish has taken the bait, the fish has taken the bait!"
"No rush, take care!" Xu Taiping sat at the side, smiling, "Fishing is like picking up girls. If you use too much strength, you might be able to pull the fish to your side, but the relationship between you and the fish is too tight. If you don't pay attention, the relationship will be broken, just like a fishing line.
"No wonder you were able to catch up to our Jin Xuan!" Emma was suddenly enlightened.
Xu Taiping smiled, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Xia Jinxuan.
The fishing rods on this ship were all welded onto their bodies and equipped with many transmission devices. Even a fish weighing over a hundred jin could easily pull them, so Xu Taiping wasn't worried that Xia Jinxuan would be pulled into the sea by the fish.
"I wonder how big the fish will be!" Emma looked at the fishing line excitedly and said.
"Look at how tight the fishing line is, and how the boat eats the water. It looks like a fish of about fifty kilograms in weight, and this generation has a lot of Groper. Our bait just now was mainly directed at the Groper, so by the looks of it, it should be a Groper." Xu Taiping said.
"That's right, this should be about a hundred jin of Groper." To the side, Ah Man nodded and said, "You're so professional, if you want to fight again, you're not a fisherman. I don't believe you."
A hundred jin of power was astonishing. Following Xu Taiping's instructions, Xia Jinxuan unceasingly retracted the fishing line. After spending more than an hour, she finally managed to pull the fish to the side of the boat.
When the body of the fish appeared on the surface of the water, Xia Jinxuan and Emma jumped up in excitement. Even the quiet Song Jia showed a smile on her face.
This was indeed a Groper, with a length of over one meter. It could be considered a large fish.
"Leave the work that's dragged up to us men!" Xu Taiping walked to the side of the boat as he spoke.
"Be careful, don't let any white sharks attack you!" Emma said nervously.
"Beauty, there are no white sharks in the seas of our country. mainly small sharks. " Ah Man smiled.
"Even so, you still have to be careful. There's a saying in China, it's called being careful when driving a ship for 10,000 years!" Emma said seriously.
Those who know a bit about the ocean know that sharks aren't a big threat in this ocean. A killer whale, a giant octopus, that's the big threat. Even a jellyfish is sometimes stronger than a shark, and the biggest threat in this ocean is the weather.
The two men dragged the Groper onto the boat together and then directly over the scale.
Just as Xu Taiping predicted, the fish weighed 105 catties.
Xia Jinxuan excitedly caught a shadow of the fish and let Xu Taiping release the fish. After all, they weren't fishermen, and didn't depend on fishing to survive. They wouldn't be able to eat such large fish even if they caught one, putting it back into the sea was the best choice.
"Continue!" Xia Jinxuan rubbed her hands and said, "I'll see if I can catch a shark!"
"There's something wrong with the weather." Xu Taiping frowned, "The pressure has increased again, and the humidity has increased."
"En!" To the side, Ah Man agreed, "The air pressure has indeed become stronger!"
"Is there any island nearby?" Xu Taiping asked.
"We do, but the sea we are in is about an hour away from the nearest island. If you are sure that you want to go there, then your fishing for the island will be over." Ah Man said.
"Ah, but I haven't caught a single fish!" Emma said regretfully.
"To a nearby island." Xu Taiping said, "Fish can be fished again. If we encounter a huge thunderstorm, that would be terrible."
"Okay, then let's go rest on the island first." Xia Jinxuan also said.
"I have no objections." Song Jia shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm a little tired, let's go back to the cabin to rest for a bit."
"Then let's go." Ah Man walked into the cockpit, started the boat, and headed toward a nearby island at full speed.
The sea is the world's most enigmatic existence. It is said that the exploration of the sea by humans is not even comparable to the exploration of the universe.
On the vast ocean, the weather changed constantly. To the people who were at sea, the greatest threat was also the ever-changing weather.
When he first caught the fish, the sky was still clear. In less than half an hour, dark clouds had gathered on top of Xu Taiping's boat.
Accompanying the storm clouds came violent gusts of wind that blew across the sea. The waves of the ocean were many times larger than before, and the entire ship swayed along with the waves.
"All of you enter the cabin, don't come out!" Ah Man shouted.
Xia Jinxuan and Emma quickly pulled Er'dan into the cabin.
Xu Taiping walked into the cockpit and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need. I've seen a storm much bigger than this. You go into the cabin and don't come out. Otherwise, you'll die if you get tossed into the sea!" Ah Man said.
"Sure!" Xu Taiping was a professional, and one of the good things about him was that he believed in the profession. When faced with certain problems, he would not use half a bucket of water of his knowledge to question the specialties of others, and this was one of the most important reasons why he was able to survive until now. In his ten years away from school, Xu Taiping had seen too many examples of self-righteous people killing the entire team, so he would absolutely not make such a low level mistake.
The interior of the cabin was installed with a very good shockproof and horizontal stability, so compared to the outside of the cabin, the interior of the cabin was very stable.
The waves lapped at the hull, and there was a drumming sound, and the rain on the windows was like beans sifting through a dustpan.
Second Egg was lying on the ground. His body was also fluctuating from left to right along with the ship. He looked like a complete idiot.
Xia Jinxuan, Song Jia, and Emma were stuck together, relying on each other to maintain their balance.
"Why is there such a strong wind all of a sudden, and such a heavy rain!" Xia Jinxuan said with a face full of fear.
"Anything can happen at sea." Xu Taiping laughed, "It's just an ordinary thunderstorm. It's fine, our ship has a huge discharge capacity. It's not a problem to face this kind of thunderstorm."
"This baby is so scared!" Emma hugged Xia Jinxuan tightly and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a huge storm. It's too scary."
"It's fine." Xu Taiping said, "This kind of thunderstorm comes and goes as quickly as it comes. Let's play cards or chat, the sun will soon appear."
"Really?" Emma asked.
"Of course, it's easy to get seasick when playing cards, so let's just casually chat about something. How about this, tell me the thing that you guys remember the most in your lives, how about each of you say something?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I think this is the thing I remember the most in my life!" Emma said.
"Emma, stop messing around, we can talk properly so that we won't be too scared!" Xia Jinxuan said.
"Okay, then Jin Xuan, why don't you tell me first?" Emma asked.
"Me?" Xia Jinxuan hesitated before saying, "The thing that I remember the most in my life is that a few months ago, outside Mix's Bar, I saw peace after drinking too much."
"What?" You two met outside the bar? " Emma asked curiously.
"Mm, at that time, I was surrounded by a few bad guys. It was peace that saved me, and even now I still remember his handsome body. You didn't see it, but he soloed those bad guys and beat them up miserably!" Xia Jinxuan said.
"Is that a bad person? Isn't he your bodyguard? " Song Jia rolled her eyes and said.
"Aiya, just take them as bad people, don't say anything!" Xia Jinxuan glared at Song Jia, then looked at Xu Taiping, saying sweetly, "That night, I was taken away by him!"
"You took it? Is that how you two know each other? "Oh my god, it's really too amazing. I never believed that there was a hero saving a beauty in this world. I never thought that it would actually happen by my side. It's really too amazing." Emma said excitedly.
"It was just a rich young girl who wanted to go out and play, but was stopped by her bodyguard, and coincidentally met a drunkard who was just passing by. In the end, she was somehow captured by the drunkard, and without knowing his name, she got into bed with him." Song Jia said.
"Song Jia, you must be jealous of me!" Xia Jinxuan said proudly.
"I'm jealous of you? Come on, I wouldn't do that. " Song Jia said while shrugging her shoulders.
"Alright, you are pure, I am filthy, I do not love myself. Anyways, you can say what you want. Right, what is the thing that impressed you the most in your life?" Xia Jinxuan asked.
"I have the deepest impression?" Song Jia was stunned for a moment, then uncontrollably recalled everything that happened that day in Xu Taiping's room in the Palace.
If he were to calculate it carefully, didn't he also get drunk that day and get taken advantage of by some heartless man? Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
