After returning from his last fishing trip, Ye Jianguo took the time to make two more harpoons.
One of the harpoons had its barrel and arrow specially made by the old blacksmith in the village, which Ye Jianguo had asked to make.
You should know that the old blacksmith used to make muskets for Ye Jianguo.
Although the old blacksmith, like Ye Jianguo, had reached the point of retiring from his old trade, he would still take one or two orders from acquaintances depending on his mood.
Having made a living with this skill all her life, Fu Wan has been absolutely enamored with it ever since she picked up that harpoon.
The harpoon itself is made to look very similar to a bird gun, and the trigger is very sensitive. With just a slight pull, the harpoon will fly out.
Furthermore, compared to the previous bamboo harpoons, this harpoon has a very low risk of exploding. After all, very few of the old blacksmith's harpoons exploded. This kind of harpoon, which does not need to consider gunpowder and iron shot, has even less risk of exploding.
Having obtained such a wonderful treasure, one naturally wants to try it out in the water.
Now that her breakfast had been mostly digested, Fu Wan got right to work, changed into her mermaid outfit, grabbed her harpoon, and left the rest cabin.
As they came out, they ran into Fu Ming, who was also carrying a fishing rod.
They truly are siblings; even Fu Ming couldn't sleep.
Seeing Fu Wan holding a harpoon and dressed like that, Fu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Ah Wan, are you going into the water?"
Fu Wan nodded and shook the harpoon in her hand.
"Yes, I'll try out the new harpoon my uncle got me!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming became even more excited.
"Wan, take me with you. I specifically brought a wetsuit when I was packing to board the ship yesterday."
Wait for me, I'll go change right now!
After saying that, he excitedly ran to the rest cabin to find his diving suit, shouting to Fu Wan as he ran, "Remember to wait for me, A-Wan, don't run off alone!"
Fu Wan was speechless. She hadn't even agreed to bring him along yet, so why was this guy already changing clothes?
However, it doesn't matter if he comes along. It's just too boring on the ship. If Fu Ming wants to come along, then let him.
With that in mind, Fu Wan somehow remembered the kayak that Li Youchuan had given her before. She could take it with her when she went into the water, so that Fu Laoda and the others wouldn't have trouble finding them later.
A few minutes later, Fu Ming arrived wearing a wetsuit. To Fu Wan's surprise, Fu Liang, also wearing a wetsuit, was following behind him.
"Brother Liang, are you going too?"
Fu Liang chuckled and nodded. He didn't even know when he last went into the water. Every time he saw Fu Wan bring back so much seafood, he felt an itch to do the same.
Although he wasn't as lucky as Fu Wan, he still wanted to try his luck in the water.
"Okay, that's perfect, then you two will have company later."
Fu Wan was happy to have another person. The three of them went down to the second floor and onto the deck. The kayak was placed in the storage room next to the deck. There weren't many things in the storage room, and Fu Wan and the others found it without much effort.
The kayak that Li Youchuan gave him was also a recent product manufactured by the shipyard. It was made of rubber and you had to inflate it yourself before using it.
However, Li Youchuan was quite thoughtful, as he included a kayak and an air pump.
Inflating tires is also hard work. This air pump is a bit like a bicycle pump. You have to step on the board that extends out from the bottom of the pump and then pull the metal handle pump on top of the pump quickly and forcefully.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang were definitely the ones doing the heavy lifting, while Fu Wan helped unfold the kayak to prevent it from folding up and causing the air inside to circulate.
The inflating of the kayak was done on the deck. Ye Lin had just gone to the toilet and when he came back, he couldn't find Fu Ming and Fu Liang. He wandered around for a while before finding them on the deck.
What are you doing?
Ye Lin was puzzled, and before the others could reply, he saw the plastic sheet that was originally spread on the deck suddenly expand into a small boat.
"Holy crap, what is this?!"
Ye Lin was so startled that he took two steps back. Fu Ming proudly introduced, "Haha, you country bumpkin, aren't you? This is a kayak. The shipyard gave it to A-Wan when she bought the boat."
Hey, Dalinzi, we're going to go fishing later.
"Would you like some lobster and abalone? Give me ten yuan, and I'll go swimming and catch some for you!"
Ye Lin rolled her eyes at him, "You have the nerve to ask for it? If I wanted to eat it, wouldn't I go out into the sea and catch it myself?"
"Hehe, it's because you've never been to sea before, isn't it?"
To be honest, those words really struck a chord with Ye Lin. Looking at Fu Ming and Fu Liang's diving suits, he was so envious that his eyes were practically glowing with envy.
"Hey, do you still have these clothes? Ah Wan, you two good brothers, why don't you take me with you too!"
Fu Wan naturally had no objections, and Fu Ming was also extremely pleased to be called a good brother.
"Haha, I have clothes, Dalinzi. I can take you down there, but how about you take me deep into the mountains next time?"
Fu Ming's eyes lit up and he started to negotiate, but Ye Lin immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum in refusal.
"Going into the deep mountains is out of the question. Not only can I not bring you guys, but if I dare to go into the deep mountains on my own and come back, I'll get a beating from my dad."
Fu Wan was actually quite interested in the deep mountains, but she also knew that it was a dangerous place and not a place for novices like them.
"Alright, don't make things difficult for Brother Lin. Brother Liang, take Brother Lin to find another diving suit. We need to hurry, or we'll have to haul in the nets in a few hours!"
Playing is fine, but it shouldn't interfere with regular homework.
Fu Liang responded and then led Ye Lin up to the second-floor rest cabin.
Fu Ming quickly inflated the kayak, and it instantly became much larger.
It is about two meters long and about one meter wide.
Fu Wan carefully inspected the kayak, and only felt relieved after confirming that it was not leaking air.
The brother and sister then took out the nets, harpoons, knives, and other tools they used for swimming. Of course, they also didn't forget to put some ice in the fish box to put the fish in later.
Fu Laoda was sleeping, so Fu Wan went to the cockpit to greet Chen Balang.
Chen Balang had heard Boss Fu boast several times that his daughter's diving skills were even better than his own, so when he learned that Fu Wan was going to go into the water to catch fish, he did not stop her.
He didn't forget to remind them, "Even if you're a good swimmer, you still need to be careful. No matter how much there is in the sea, if you feel a headache and can't stand it, remember to come back up immediately."
“I glanced ahead and saw a deserted island about 200 meters ahead. The water is shallower there. I’ll leave you there so it’ll be easier to find you later.”
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, just wait for me to catch some lobsters for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Balang's serious expression softened considerably. "Then I'll delay my return for another hour to pick you up."
Fu Wan thought about it and realized that an hour was a bit short. She would have to search for the items in the sea, and the time would probably pass in no time.
"About two hours. There's not much wind at sea today. We brought a kayak, so you can tow it around and come back in about two hours."
Chen Balang could only nod in agreement. After Fu Wan finished speaking to him, she left the wheelhouse and returned to the deck. Ye Lin had already changed his clothes and was waiting for her with Fu Ming and Fu Liang.
