Return To 1977 Chapter 173: Show it off

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

Under the towering "Yunwu Cliff", due to the obstruction of the mountains, the sea water under the steep cliff is deep and gloomy.

The sun was hanging in the sky, and under the hot light, the "general", Hong Yanwu, and Chen Liquan, all wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, stood on a flat rock on the coast.

They each held a handful of sea water with their hands, washed their heads and faces first, and then patted their vagina, belly, and knees to allow these key parts to adapt.

Yes, they are preparing to go into the water. This is a well-known experience of "sea bumpers". If the head is not pre-cooled, a person will become faint if he suddenly plunges into the sea. If the belly is not pre-cooled, people will have premature convulsions all over the body in the cold water.

As for "Old Saberfish", "Xiaobaizi", and the seven "Hai Bangzi" under "General", they all gathered around and stood behind them, watching helplessly.

No one said a word, and their expressions were all frozen. Instead of the enthusiasm of talking closer and closer, there was an estranged indifference and fierceness between them.

The reason is not difficult to explain. It is naturally because Hong Yanwu and the "general" failed to agree on the conditions for joining forces.

In fact, the "arrogance" shown by Hong Yanwu just now made all "Hai Bangzi" find it incredibly ridiculous.

Because this guy not only claimed to be able to increase everyone's income several times, but also made wild claims about wanting to interfere with the price of sea cucumbers in Bincheng. He even used this as an excuse to put forward an incredible distribution condition, saying that not only would he have all the leadership rights, but they would also have to monopolize 40% of the profits.

From the "General's" point of view, this is too insincere. He felt that even if Hong Yanwu was not crazy, he was still boasting to the sky!

The price of sea cucumbers has always been set by the state. How can an individual have the right to interfere in this matter? He has been "touching" the sea for more than ten years and has never seen any change in the public price of sea cucumbers.

The same is true for private sales. There are too many "sea cucumbers" and not many people can afford to buy sea cucumbers. Anyone who wants to keep the goods and sell them at a high price will have no other consequences besides being wronged. How can I intervene?

Besides, if you want to be the leader of "Hai Bangzi", you must first know where the crabs are and where the shrimps are! You also need to be able to observe the sky, be able to calculate the tide, know the sea conditions along the coast like the back of your hand, have in your mind the topography and landforms where marine treasures grow and live, and be able to lead the big guys to fish out the big stuff!

Other than himself, only "Old Saury" can handle these skills. But "Old Saury" is already old and can no longer lead people to work underwater. Just how many times have they been in the water, just two fledgling boys? Even if you have some diving skills, you are not qualified to lead him!

This is really ignorant, it is simply a daydream!

His good intentions are in vain, and it is not worth refuting at all!

So he stopped talking nonsense and just drooped his face. He told Hong Yanwu that even if he was "a hot face but a cold butt", he just didn't mention joining the gang.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu sighed, pretended to show regret, and then actually said, "You are the eldest brother, and you have been leading these brothers to survive, and they all rely on you. I thought You think about them all, but you didn’t expect that you are just like those officials who are reluctant to let go of the seal in your hands. Anyway, I don’t want to be Lin Chong and suffer under Wang Lun..."

This sentence greatly hurt the "general's" self-esteem, because it was tantamount to saying that he was a selfish man who was jealous of his talents.

He has never cared about money, but he values ​​reputation extremely! He has never treated his brothers badly, how could he bear this infamy for nothing? So he got really angry at that time and couldn't help but start a "fight" with Hong Yanwu.

The brothers under the "general" were naturally aggrieved, especially the impulsive bald man, who immediately got involved. For this reason, the situation almost got out of hand.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu maintained full restraint this time, and "Old Saury" and "Sanjianzi" persuaded each other separately, and finally the conflict was maintained at the level of a verbal dispute.

However, "If you don't steam the steamed buns, you can fight for a breath." In order to protect his reputation, the "general" proposed a new bet to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

He said that he would use the diving depth to determine who has the final power.

The specific condition is that if Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan win, the "general" will fully accept the conditions they just mentioned. On the other hand, if they lose, they must agree to fully obey the leadership of the "general" and in terms of profit distribution, they Each party can only take half of the harvest as the price of the loser.

To be honest, this method is actually quite fair to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, because this method is only better than diving skills and does not involve the experience and skills of getting overseas goods. So it can be seen from this that the "general" is indeed upright and has no intention of taking advantage of Hong Yanwu and the others.

It should be said that this played into Hong Yanwu's plan and was also his purpose of provoking the generals. So the boy agreed without saying a word, and then this competition began.

"I didn't expect that we are still facing each other! Let me see what you can do under your bare feet, 'Old Foreigner', today! Let's see who is more powerful, 'Wang Lun' like me, or you, 'Lin Chong', who talks nonsense!" ”

Before entering the water, the "general" who was the first to prepare spoke to Hong Yanwu, obviously still worried about his words.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu smiled. At this time, he seemed very sincere and no longer meant to be vindictive.

"'General', I actually respect you a lot. If you can invite us to join your team today, you are giving us enough face. If you don't appreciate it, it's not my character. But having said that, I didn't give you this face." , It’s not that I’m ungrateful. The main reason is that I really want to use you and your brothers to do something big, so I want to compete with you. I just said that you are Wang Lun. It’s just to make this bet with you. Don’t mind. Ah. To be honest, if you really want to compare the characters of Water Margin, I think you are quite similar to Chao Gai, the 'Tota King', and your brothers are also like the "Three Heroes of the Ruan Family"..."

The "general" was startled after hearing this. He was a little confused about Hong Yanwu's repeated changes of expression. And although he felt a lot better from the compliment, on the other hand, he also heard another meaning in his words, so he snorted again.

"You are quite confident, as if you are sure to win. I admit that when it comes to fighting, I may not be your opponent. But I have to tell you that it is another matter under the sea. Come on, one meter is different from one meter. If you can’t bear it later, don’t force it. Be careful to take the regret medicine!”

But Hong Yanwu was unmoved and still smiled. "Let's compete in the ocean! I'd rather compete with you or be pressed into a photo!"

"Okay, no matter who loses, just admit it!"

At this point, the "general" had nothing more to say and jumped into the sea first.

After him, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan looked at each other, said "go to the sea" at the same time, and followed the arrows into the sea.

Soon, the three figures quickly entered the distance of the sapphire-like deep, turbulent sea.

At this time, amidst the roaring waves, only a group of people on the shore were still standing under the sun, ignoring the heat and keeping their eyes fixed on their whereabouts.

"Xiaobaizi" suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask "Old Saury".

"Old man, didn't you say that you have to go to the bottom of the low tide to go into the sea? Isn't it a bit dangerous for them..."

Unexpectedly, the bald man watching heard it and smiled contemptuously. He actually jumped in front of the "Old Swordfish" and said sarcastically, "You only dare to go into the sea when the tide recedes. You are still a 'sea bumper', you can only be a dog jumping."

This sentence made "Xiaobaizi" blush on the spot. He couldn't help but think bitterly, if Master Hong wins later, let's see who among us is the best! When the time comes, I have to ask you personally, if we are like Goubengzi, who is your "general" and who is your kid...

Don’t mention it, Ah Q’s mental therapy was quite effective. Just thinking about it, he quickly became calm again.

Looking back, let’s talk about the sea.

To measure the depth of the seabed. When the "general" went into the water, he brought a "professional tool" that could measure the water depth.

It is a 40-meter-long coiled rope with a large weight tied to the lower end. Starting from the bottom ten meters upward, a red cloth strip is tied every two meters. The upper end of the rope is tied to the net float. When measuring, you can wrap it around the wire board and gradually lower it down, so that you can try your best to get the accurate meter number.

"General" led Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to swim to the sea more than 100 meters away from the beach before stopping. Then he slowly lowered the rope pendant and measured the water depth here to be nearly 20 meters.

This has actually exceeded the limit of ordinary "sea bumpers". Even "Sanjizi" cannot go into such deep water. This is also because Hong Yanwu and the others have achieved the results of "Old Foreigner" and "General" That’s why we set such a high starting point from the beginning.

At this point, everyone knew it was time to practice for real. The three of them dived silently without saying a word. After a few minutes, they each surfaced to take a breath. Each of them held either a sea cucumber or a scallop in their hands. This was the "proof" that they had successfully reached the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan passed the test smoothly, the "general" couldn't help but secretly nodded, feeling that they were really capable. However, Hong Yanwu's nonchalant expression made him a little unhappy at the same time.

He was still angry, and the last thing he wanted to see was this kid's arrogance! So he deliberately pretended not to care, and led the way again, swimming fifty meters away.

I measured again this time and found that the water was already 26 meters high, which has basically reached the peak of the "Old Saury" in its prime

All three of them dived again. When they were about to reach the bottom of the sea, everyone could feel the obvious pressure. The diving goggles were tightly clasped on their faces, and the glass mirror squeaked under the pressure.

Especially Hong Yanwu clearly found that this feeling was very similar to the nosebleed he had last time when he discovered the "scallop wall", so it can be seen that the depth should be about the same.

It's a pity that this seabed is mostly mud and sand, with a few small rocks occasionally seen, which looks deserted and a little desolate. So when they came to the surface, the three of them had nothing to gain. They just picked up a stone or a handful of sand in their hands, and they were all breathing for a long time.

What is particularly important to note is that this time Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan passed the test again, but the "general" was completely shocked. Because even he was struggling here. Now he is extremely sure that the two people in front of him are real opponents who rarely meet.

With unprecedented importance, the "general" gritted his teeth secretly and swam deeper into the sea.

In the third measurement, the water depth has reached 32 meters. The water is definitely deep enough. Under this kind of pressure, even the "general" would panic. If he had gone to the sea by himself in the past, he would never have gone to such a depth, because it was not worth the suffering and he would easily get "diving disease".

But today is no different than usual. For the sake of honor and fighting for reputation, the three of them have worked hard. So far, no matter how deep you dive, I can go down as well. No one will let go of the chain. talk.

In this situation, if he wants to take any chances and have some energy left, he may have exhausted too much energy by then, and it will be doubly difficult to think about it so deeply. So he had no choice but to go all out and use his own limit to win.

This time the three people dived for nearly five minutes, and countless pearl-like bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. Until the bubbles got bigger and bigger, and with a "swish" sound, Hong Yanwu rushed out of the water first.

I saw him panting heavily, and his whole body was already red from the cold, but unfortunately, there was nothing in his hand, which was obviously a failure.

The second person to emerge was the "General". As soon as he discovered that Hong Yanwu had not got anything, he immediately showed off a Dead Sea red shell to show off his power. He gasped and laughed uncontrollably. This sense of accomplishment in defeating a powerful enemy is simply unparalleled!

But it is also a pity that he was happy a little too early. Because when Chen Liquan appeared later, he also had a conch shell in his hand.

This kind of result was something the "general" never expected. He never believed that someone could actually reach the depth that he had always been proud of. The victory he thought he had already achieved just flew away.

In this way, the exhilaration just now quickly turned into an unspeakable sense of frustration, making the "general" feel extremely unhappy!

So he glanced at Chen Liquan coldly, then gritted his teeth again and headed deeper. By the time he finished measuring the water depth with a rope this time, it had reached thirty-seven meters, which even he had never tried before.

The world here is mine, so what are you afraid of!

Now the "general" is facing the most difficult situation. He knows that he can't do anything if he doesn't fight, so he musters up the courage with anger, curses in his heart, and dives into the water with all his strength!

But what made him deeply regretful was that this time, when he exerted all his strength and just touched the bottom of the sea with one hand in the darkness, the super energy of holding his breath underwater reached the limit.

He couldn't help but feel the air in his body, and he couldn't help but squeeze it out of his mouth, nose, and even eyes. My ears hurt so much!

This made him unable to hold on any longer. He couldn't even grab a handful of sand, so he could only rush out of the water like a rocket. The huge inertia even lifted the diving goggles on his face to his neck.

The only thing he could do afterwards was to gasp for breath three times in a row, and even spit out a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva.

Needless to say, the pressure caused the capillaries to rupture and bleed.

Failed! Just a little bit closer!

But fortunately, he still has a glimmer of hope, that is, he hopes that Chen Liquan will fail like him.

But what is even more sad is that before the "general" even had time to calm down and breathe, reality made him taste the taste of failure. Chen Liquan, who was one minute behind him before he returned to the water, was clutching a big "swan egg" (jargon, big clam) in his hand this time.

"General"...he actually lost!

And just when he was in extreme depression, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan spoke again in an understatement, but it made him want to vomit blood.

"Quanzi, you are amazing. You have dived so deep and yet you haven't had a nosebleed? It seems there is still a lot of potential to be tapped..."

"No matter how deep it is, it's useless. Not to mention that the water mirror will break, it's too dark underwater and I can't see anything at all. I searched for a long time before I found such a thing..."
