Chapter 1180: People Are Particular About Eating Fish, but Fish Are Not Particular About Eating People.
The prince has ordered that from today onwards, all soldiers, holding fishing rods in hand, will be ordered to fish.
The people under this order were dizzy, but all the soldiers, guards, and secret guards in the two ships received a fishing rod, so they had no choice but to fish around the ship in twos and threes.
Small fish can be caught, but big ones cannot, so you have to catch them.
At this point, the prince issued another order, ordering the soldiers on duty at noon every day not to fish with others, but to take independent boats and cast nets around the main ship.
After the two orders were implemented, everyone did not say anything openly, but secretly discussed whether there was not enough food on the ship and we had to catch fish to prevent hunger?
Fish are transported to the main boat in baskets every hour. Since she doesn’t know what kind of fish secretes substances, Liu Wei can only ignore each fish, cut the fish, and dissect them in one go.
After a while, Xiao Li also watched for a while, humming and helping her mother.
After searching for three days and discarding countless raw fish, Liu Wei took a look at a flat fish with yellowish tail scales.
Xiao Li held a test tube on the side, shook the liquid inside, wrinkled his nose and said, "Is it this? Mom, this is the same color as the liquid diluted with mist before, and the taste is similar."
Liu Wei did not draw a conclusion, but called Rong Leng.
Rong Leng has also been busy fishing these days, and now his whole body is smelling of fish, but no matter how strong the smell is here, it is not as strong as Liu Wei's.
Because of this, Liu Wei has not dared to touch Chou Chou recently. She always expresses milk for Mingxiang to feed her. There is no way, the child dislikes her.
"Is this it?" Rong Leng frowned when he saw the flat fish in Liu Wei's hand.
Liu Wei was not sure either: "It's very possible. Take it and ask the boatmen and helmsmen if they recognize this kind of fish."
Rong Leng went there and came back soon, and got several answers.
This kind of flat-bodied fish is not prominent in appearance and not large in size. It is similar to the edible fish that many fishermen often see. Some boatmen say it is an ordinary vegetable fish, some say it is an eight-scaled fish, and some say it is a colorful fish. There are various theories about tail fish, but several people said it is clearly not a kind of fish.
This is difficult to judge. After all, Liu Wei is not proficient in marine life, and he has no similar books and journals at hand, so he can't look up the information.
In the end, she had no choice but to give up judging the fish species and study the gallbladder cut out of the fish's body.
Liu Wei searched in the fish basket, preparing to find a few more of the same species for experimentation. Just then, Rong Leng's master strolled over with his hands behind his back.
Seeing the master, Rong Leng turned aside and gave way.
Master Rong Leng waved his hand, indicating that they were busy and didn't need to worry about him.
Liu Wei turned around to look for the fish, but didn't notice that another person came outside the door. After finding three more fish, she heard the old man's slow voice suddenly say: "This is a fierce fish, right?"
Liu Wei looked up and saw Master Rong Leng coming.
Raising the fish in his hand, Liu Wei asked: "What do you mean?"
The master nodded, touched his white beard, and said, "It's a deep-sea fish, but maybe because it looks ugly, no one takes it seriously. This fish eats people."
"Eating people?" Rong Leng was stunned for a moment, walked to Liu Wei in two steps, and patted all the fish back into the basket.
Liu Wei looked at his empty hands, rubbed them, and asked, "How to eat it?"
The master laughed and said: "How else can we eat it? Eat it alive, or steam it and braise it in braise? People are particular about eating fish, but fish are not particular about eating people."
Liu Wei knew that some deep-sea fish were dangerous, and there were some fish that could eat people, but she couldn't be blamed for being careless. This fish was only as big as her palm, how could it eat a whole person? Not chewing?
Seemingly sensing her suspicion, the master added, "This is what I heard too. Maybe the fierce fish in this area are vegetarian?"
Liu Wei thought for a while and asked: "Master, are you sure this is a tiger fish? What are the habits of a tiger fish?"
The old man thought for a while and said: "They are small in size and have sharp teeth. Their appearance is similar to ordinary freshwater fish. Because of their appearance, they do not appear to be lethal. However, when hunting large prey, they have unexpected effects. They are... more capable. A hidden and despicable species of fish.”
Liu Wei stared at the dying fish in the basket, with its eyes bulging and its mouth opening and closing. She really couldn't imagine that anyone would use the word despicable to describe a fish.
Liu Wei bent down again and caught the fish.
Rong Leng has quick eyes and quick hands, so he stops him.
Liu Wei sighed: "Don't worry, I'm so big, it has to chew it all if it wants to eat." After saying that, he twisted Rong Leng's hand away, opened the fish's mouth, and looked inside.
This sight frightened her!
This little fish looks harmless on the outside, but its teeth are so sharp and there are two fangs. If it really takes a bite, it may really be able to tear off a piece of meat.
Rong Leng also saw it and threw the fish back into the basket with a sullen face, not letting Liu Wei touch it at all.
But what if you don’t touch it?
Regardless of whether this fish eats people or not, the special substance contained in its body must be found out, otherwise hundreds of fierce fish will continue to secrete hormones around them?
Trap them here for the rest of their lives?
"Master, what else do you know?" An old man in the family is like a treasure. After all, Rong Leng's master is a worldly expert and must know more than the two juniors.
The old man really said some more. After he finished speaking, he yawned, patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said, "Master, I'm tired. Go and take a nap."
Rong Leng said "hmm" and his eyes were all on Liu Wei. When he saw Liu Wei's hand reaching into the fish basket, he narrowed his eyes.
The old man looked at the way his apprentice was protecting his wife, and saw that his wife was still thinking about what he said just now, and was touching her chin with an inquiring look on her face. He clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Children must do some things by themselves. Adults have to do everything for them. It is impossible for children not to grow up.
At this moment, the old man didn't realize that he clearly knew the way to cross the Devil's Sea, but he deliberately didn't tell it and asked Liu Wei to find such a dangerous piranha for research. If Rong Leng knew about this, there would be consequences. How serious.
Back in the cabin, the old man looked out of the window. It was calm outside and the breeze was gentle. He raised the corners of his lips with a smile and looked towards the floating island they had left before.
Who could have known that misfortunes and blessings are one and the same. The floating island seems lifeless, but in fact, the real way to survive lies here.
However, to find the right direction on the sea, the right time, right place, and the right people are indispensable.
The floating island has a favorable location, but the right time and harmony have not yet arrived. Crossing the Devil's Sea is not that simple after all.
"A land of gods? It's really curious." The old man said and put his hand into his sleeve pocket.
After a while, a square seal was taken out.
If Yue Shansheng were here, he would definitely recognize that this seal was the one given to him by the survivor of the Ji family when he was a child.
And this seal should be hidden by Zhong Ziyu at this moment, and it can never be here.
At this moment, something big was happening in the government dungeon far away in Qingzhou.
Half an hour later, Sima Xi, the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, rushed to Fu's house sweating profusely.
Seeing Fu Zichen, Sima Xi hurriedly said: "Master Fu, no, it's not good! That Wei Chou, the wanted criminal sent by the Third Prince himself, was kidnapped!"
