Return To 1977 Chapter 150: Bonfire

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Green sea, yellow shore.

The sun has set in the west, leaving only the last red glow in the sky, and almost everything has been silently swallowed up by the darkness.

Hong Yanwu held the "net float" in his hand, and Chen Liquan supported the "old saury" vigorously. The three of them were like three wriggling sea cucumbers, crawling together from the rising sea water to the warm shore. .

As soon as they landed, the fifty or sixty sea cucumbers in the "Net Floater" began to squirm nervously, and all made a "squeaking" sound.

This familiar sound is really very pleasant to "Old Saury". Because if a sea cucumber leaves the sea, it means death, and if it crawls to the shore, it means life.

Obviously, with God's blessing this time, he defeated them again and won.

After landing, the wet three people did not stay for a moment, but went directly to a large bonfire that was just lit for them by "Xiaobaizi" about twenty meters away.

The pile of firewood is the life of "Hai Bangzi". The pile of firewood was carefully prepared by "Old Saury" before he went into the water.

The thin branches should be placed at the bottom, and the thicker ones should be placed on top, so that the layers overlap in a herringbone shape to ensure sufficient burning power and easy ignition.

The matchbox must be held down with a pebble to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze. "Old Sabry" even selected three of the best quality matchsticks in advance, leaving half of them exposed. This was his preparation for the worst-case scenario, fearing that he would freeze far more than he imagined.

It's just that the match trick is useless at the moment, because "Old Saury" has already smelled a faint smell of gasoline. This made him immediately realize that these guys had lit the fire in the most convenient way.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because gasoline is a scarce commodity and it is really difficult to get it.

Did they all use this method to light the bonfires that were eight feet away from them in the past few days? No wonder they light the fire and cook so quickly! After all, people from the capital have some connections...

And something even more surprising to "Old Saury" is still happening. Because Hong Yanwu immediately called "Xiao Baizi" and brought him a new towel and quilt and a bottle of "Zhuanghe Laojiao", and told "Old Saury" to quickly put it on and let him drink some wine to warm up.

Machine-woven towel quilts are the most fashionable gadgets, and they cost five yuan a piece in department stores. "Old Saury" was only willing to buy it for his daughter, and he and his wife had never been willing to build it. I never thought that someone would use such a good thing to wipe the body crawling out of the sea.

The same goes for "Zhuanghe Laojiao". It is recognized as a good product in villages and towns all over the country, and even village cadres are reluctant to drink it.

Besides that, not to mention the fragrant noodles that have been cooked in the aluminum pot, who can afford to eat fine grains these days! His own dry food has always been cornmeal pancakes.

No wonder everyone says that people in Beijing all live in high-rise buildings, talk on the phone, and have realized communism ahead of schedule. It seems that this statement is indeed true. The people in the capital are really comfortable.

Otherwise, these children are all high-ranking officials in their families...

In his wild thoughts, he was moved, but "Old Saury" still rejected Hong Yanwu's kindness. He even stopped Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan from going into the water to rescue him and wrapped themselves in towels to keep out the cold.

Because the sea water is still very cold at this time of year, if the coldness is completely driven out of the body using the method passed down by "Hai Bangzi" for thousands of years, most people will fall ill. Moreover, "Old Swordfish" is still suffering from the sequelae of "diving disease" and knows that he cannot drink alcohol.

After explaining, "Old Swordfish" asked Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to follow him, and then he began to desperately lean his whole body towards the fire, and tried his best to spread his arms. Carefully grill every inch of skin over the flames.

After Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other, they followed suit and moved their bodies closer to the flame.

The tongues of fire were like countless red-hot steel needles, immediately penetrating the skin of the three people on the fire, piercing into the muscles and bone seams, and began to drive away the cold that made people stiff and shiver.

To be honest, this kind of burning pain, not only does not make people feel the slightest pain at the beginning, but it makes people feel an indescribable comfort and happiness.

During the rapid rise in temperature, the goosebumps on the skins of the three people gradually began to subside, and even the hard and wooden body of "Old Sabryfish", which was as cold as a stone, began to become softer.

Since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had been in the sea for a short time, their bodies were the first to regain consciousness. Not long after, they began to feel the burning pain caused by the flames, so they couldn't help but retreat.

But "Old Saury" stopped them again, saying that it was not yet ready and they had to continue roasting.

And they had always respected "Old Saury", and when they saw his solemn instructions and knew that they must be justified, they had no choice but to step forward to embrace the blazing flames again like two prawns.

To be honest, the feeling of baking over a fire started to become unpleasant at this time. If it were normal, "Old Sabryfish" would definitely make an uncontrollable moan to share the pain.

But at this time, he was absolutely unwilling to show such a embarrassed look in front of these young people. So he could only try his best to control his desire to speak out, deliberately pretending not to care.

At this age, "Old Saury" already looks a bit stooped. And because he had encountered a swordfish, his injured face seemed to have been tempered in boiling water, and one of his ears was missing. This made him look like a twisted, ferocious monster with erratic behavior under the firelight.

Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, and even "Xiao Baizi" who was adding fuel to the fire all cast their eyes towards him involuntarily.

However, because they knew about this, they didn't think "Old Sabryfish" was so scary. Instead, they felt full of sincere respect in their hearts. I even think that "Old Swordfish" should definitely be famous on this winding coastline just because of his face.

When the "Old Saury" returned to normal functions under the intense roasting, he also glanced at Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and carefully observed the two people who fished him out of the water. Here comes a young man.

Similarly, under the red light, he could see it very clearly. There are many scars all over the muscular and bulging bodies of these two people, especially on their arms and thighs. The sparse wounds make them majestic and look like ancient warriors.

In addition, the two of them did not groan due to the power of the flames under this rough roasting, so there was only one explanation that made sense.

These two boys have suffered a lot since childhood! People who have never suffered any sin will never have such ability!

"Old Saury" was really surprised when he made a firm judgment. Because in his concept, the capital city is the most virtuous area, and everyone should have tender skin and tender flesh, and be well-dressed. There is no way that such a good material that should be born as a "sea bumper" can grow in that smooth and prosperous world!

But the reality is so bizarre. In terms of physical strength, physique, courage and endurance, these two boys are actually no less than real fisherman heroes who grew up in the wind and waves...

At this extremely puzzling moment, "Old Saury" suddenly discovered that the dark skin of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had begun to show red spots. He couldn't care about anything else and immediately shouted in surprise.

"Ah, flowers are coming out of baking! Now that the front is done, you can turn over and bake again!"

This is the lingo of Hai Bangzi, which means that it is baked to the end.

At this time, the tongue of fire had gradually retracted towards the ground, and the body of "Old Sabry" also followed it, until its belly was burning and painful. Then he slowly turned over, raised his limbs, and began to demonstrate to Hong Yanwu how to roast the spine in the correct posture.

Just like that, when it hurts and then turns over, the three people are like acrobats, repeatedly doing difficult movements. As the red spots on their bodies gradually expanded, they finally connected into cloud-like shapes and emitted light, finally revealing the dried salt particles.

The old swordfish then took a long breath, reluctantly gave up the lingering pile of charcoal fire, then sat down on the beach, and then threw the entire "net float" on Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. underfoot.

"Thanks to you, my old life was not left in the sea..."

"Old man, we don't want it."

"What, you think there are too few?"

"Old Saury" rubbed his skin, which was roasted with salt, and sighed in his heart for his shabby gift.

He naturally saw that these young people were not short of money, and even these things depended on others to find them.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both saw the expression on "Old Saury" and hurriedly came to explain.

"You paid for this with your life, we can't have it..." Chen Liquan's words were as kind as ever.

"Old man, you should stretch your handles, you don't need to be so polite..."

When "Hong Yanwu" said this, his face seemed to turn red, but then he still expressed his opinion directly.

"...If you...if you really want to thank us, can you tell us about the 'Thrust Tiger Dragon'? It's best...it's best to help us catch one..."

"Old Saury" raised his head in surprise. He did not expect that Hong Yanwu would always be thinking about this matter, so he looked at him carefully. Only then did he see clearly, that face was full of determination and certainty. It seems that he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"Do you know how ferocious the thing you are looking for is, how few people you have ever encountered have survived? Catching one? That is wishful thinking! If you want to find it, you are looking for death!"

"Old Saury" has a straightforward temper, so his words are a bit rude.

"It's up to people, won't you survive? What's more, times are different now, and you can always come up with good ideas!"

Hong Yanwu didn't mind, but he just refused to give up and showed a confident look.

"Old Saury" was startled again, but remained calm, just sneering in his heart.

Can’t you listen to the old man’s advice? Humph, young people are all so ignorant! Small-mouthed fish eat crab roe, but they don’t even measure the size of their teeth!

But then, he thought of the kindness of others who had just given him a helping hand, and finally sighed, having to restrain his contemptuous eyes.

He is a man who knows how to repay a favor. Although the other party is a bit threatening, he has to return the favor. Therefore, he could only tell the details of his encounter with "Frustration Tiger Dragon" that he least wanted to recall, without reservation.

To talk about the general situation of this matter, Hong Yanwu and the others have already learned almost everything from the villagers of "Clam Bay", but the description of the shape and ferocity of "Zuhulong" by "Old Saury" is quite detailed, but Something they never imagined.

According to "Old Swordfish", the appearance of "Zuhulong" is actually very similar to that of "Swordfish".

The one he had seen was about one meter long, but it was not silver, but dark black, and its scales were like iron. It was difficult to damage with harpoons and fish knives, and its dorsal and tail fins were as sharp as blades. Can break wooden boats.

And this kind of vicious creature is very scheming and absolutely cunning. On the surface, it is not as fierce as a shark, but very gentle and cute. If you meet it, you will find it shaking its head to your left and wagging its tail to your right, as if it is attacking unintentionally.

But you must not take it lightly at this time. This guy is actually confusing and observing, first making people relax their vigilance, and then looking for the best angles and opportunities to attack.

Once this guy sees the right opportunity, he will rush over at an unimaginable speed with lightning speed, and in just a split second, he can cut open a person's bones and disembowel him.

In fact, back then, the "Old Saury", who barely escaped the first attack with blood dripping from his chest, had already escaped to the boat, but he was unprepared for the "Frustration Tiger Dragon" who was still able to jump out of the sea in the end. As a result, he was opened by the fish. With a huge mouth and a row of sharp teeth, he bit off half of his face with one "click".

If he hadn't relied on the strength of the new fishing boat that entered the sea, I'm afraid he would have inevitably ended up with the boat destroyed and everyone killed. But even so, when he escaped to the coast in a small boat, the bottom of the fishing boat began to leak...

Finally, "Lao Daoyu" also told an additional legendary story about "Zuhulong". At that time, this was a familiar allusion to many "Haichangzi".

It is said that Snake Island was originally where God imprisoned the "Sin Dragon". The two giant snakes, a male and a female, hidden deep in the cave of Snake Island are the "sin dragons" punished from heaven, so they can breed thousands of venomous snakes here.

But the male snake has been living a restless and lonely life on the island, always wanting to cross the sea to escape. Because the "Tian Tiao" says that once the sin dragon successfully crosses the sea, it can take off its snake shape and become a real dragon again.

So one foggy morning, the male snake thought he had a good opportunity, so he ignored the female snake's dissuasion and went into the sea and swam towards the land.

During this process, the snake's body gradually shimmered with scales, and dragon claws and horns began to sprout.

But just as he was about to reach land and transform into a dragon, the God of Heaven had already known what was happening, but sent two sharp sword-like "Tiger Dragons" to snipe him.

They flew up from the waves in time, and with just a "crack" sound, the male snake that turned into half a dragon body immediately broke into two pieces, blood spurted out, died miserably, and fell into the sea, becoming a giant snake in the waters of the Liaodong Peninsula. A scene of "Slender Dragon Island".

From then on, "Zuhulong" officially became the guard of Snake Island, forever guarding the countless poisonous snakes on the island so that they will no longer escape...

Ah, these charming and terrifying stories, accompanied by the rising moonlight, made Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" beside the fire dumbfounded...
