Without explaining that Da Hai would touch Bao Zhu, just the fact that Ming Jing is her own niece shows that he dislikes Ming Jing but doesn't want anything to happen to her.
Ming Dashan cursed as he and several others worked together to pull the man up.
Mingjing, soaking wet, climbed onto the boat and, ignoring her breath, turned over to check on the man's condition.
He was a handsome young man with a pale face.
"Mingjing, why did you save him? He's probably an illegal immigrant or a smuggler. What if we run into the local bullies? You're too reckless!"
Ming Dashan was timid and afraid of trouble. This sea area was often frequented by smuggling boats and illegal immigrants, all of whom carried guns. He always kept his distance and dared not provoke them in the slightest.
Mingjing ignored him and reached out to check the man's breath.
The wound is weak; if we don't help soon, it could become a real problem.
After wiping the water off the man's face, Mingjing straddled him, placed her hands on his chest, and pressed down hard.
After doing it several times, Mingjing was clearly exhausted. Seeing that the man was still not awake, she decided to give him some breathing exercises.
This scene made Ming Dashan both ashamed and angry, and he was about to step forward to stop it.
"puff!"
The man suddenly spat out a mouthful of water.
"Mingjing, what kind of talk is this? Riding on a man and kissing him, you have no shame!" Ming Dashan said irritably, and a group of people stared at Mingjing.
On the isolated island, the old-fashioned idea that men and women should not have physical contact was a constraint on the older generation, and Mingjing's behavior was completely unacceptable to everyone.
Mingjing rolled her eyes at them and said coldly, "Or you come and do it?"
The man coughed violently a few times, slowly opened his eyes, and sat up. "Where am I?"
Mingjing stood up, leaned leisurely against the bedside to straighten her wet clothes, and glanced at them with her eyelids raised. "What's your name?"
The man slowly sat up and looked around.
Mingjing scrutinized the man; he had thick eyebrows, large eyes, a buzz cut, and his exquisite face was so perfect that it resembled a work of art.
They would be no less famous than celebrities in later generations.
Moreover, the man was wearing a Rolex watch, which was currently very popular, and a floral shirt, so he must be a wealthy young man.
They exchanged a glance, then Mingjing looked away, lowered her head, and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, wringing out water.
The man remained silent, sitting on the deck, seemingly lost in thought.
Ming Dashan stared wide-eyed, a fire burning inside him.
He snorted coldly, turned around, and returned to the cabin with several fishermen.
"The ship won't be back until tomorrow. If you don't mind, you can stay on the ship for the night."
Mingjing smoothed her dripping hair with both hands, turned around and walked towards the cabin. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she entered the space, where she could exchange her previous points for a sun protection outfit.
The scene of the man falling into the water just now echoed in her mind.
That's probably how the original owner fell into the sea and died.
To facilitate fishing, these large boats have several small bedrooms specifically for sleeping, with Mingjing's room located at the very back.
The small bedroom had only one bed. After changing her clothes, she hung the wet clothes on the cabin window. The sea breeze was cold and damp at night, and Mingjing couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
Looking out the window, the bright moonlight pierced through the dark clouds and spread across the clear windowpane like white frost, clean and bright.
There was only a hard bed in the room. Mingjing couldn't stand the cold. She glanced at her watch; it was midnight.
That's about it.
She shivered as she walked out of the cabin. Ming Lao Er and his group had gone to bed early. The man she had just rescued was curled up on a chair in the cabin, like a dried shrimp.
Mingjing glanced at the man, tiptoed onto the deck, and leaped into the sea.
She was as supple as a sea serpent, and swiftly swam towards the seabed.
The deep seabed is crisscrossed with trenches, and colorful corals and reefs are as beautiful as a painting. A clear mirror flows through the trenches, and various fish and shrimp swim past it.
Lost in all the novelties, Mingjing almost forgot the purpose of her visit.
[Hint: With your equipment and a bit of luck, tuna may be spotted ahead!]
The system notification brought Mingjing back to her senses, and she looked up.
A plump tuna swam towards her, but it was too small, weighing only about five pounds, and Mingjing wasn't interested.
After swimming around the seabed, Mingjing marveled at the power of her equipment. Not to mention large groupers, she even saw several nests of king crabs.
But her goal today is salmon; she'll come back after she earns enough points to buy better equipment.
Just then, a huge salmon slowly swam over from a distance.
Mingjing paused for a second.
Good boy.
The salmon was about five meters long, plump, and silver all over, weighing at least thirty pounds.
[Warning: Five-star salmon ahead! Host, proceed with caution!]
Five-star?
Mingjing became even more excited, knowing that salmon is graded. Five-star salmon is rich in oil, has a delicate and smooth texture, and a slightly sweet taste.
The salmon in front of us is the King Salmon, the finest of all salmon.
Mingjing took out the anesthetic she had prepared beforehand and quickly shot it at the salmon.
The anesthetic was driven deep into the salmon's flesh, but it seemed to have no effect on the large salmon.
Unwilling to give up, Mingjing once again pulled out the anesthetic and shot it at the salmon.
This time, the salmon finally reacted, its body swaying and slowly turning white belly.
[Warning: Great white shark sighted ahead! Host, proceed with caution!]
As soon as the system finished speaking, a huge mouth suddenly appeared in front of her.
Before Mingjing could react, something grabbed her wrist and pulled her back quickly, hiding behind a rock.
She turned around in a daze, and an extremely beautiful face suddenly came into her view.
With black hair, fair skin, and bright, dark eyes, she gripped Mingjing's wrist tightly. The white fish tail was covered in layers of scales, small and delicate.
Mingjing suddenly remembered the mermaid she saw on the day she was reborn.
The mermaid gently shook her head at her, signaling her to keep quiet.
A great white shark, several tens of meters long, leisurely passed by them, a five-star salmon in its mouth, slowly swallowing it.
Mingjing silently breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and handed the little mermaid a colorful coral bracelet to her.
The bracelet is very beautiful, with red and white stripes, and it makes a pleasant tinkling sound when shaken gently.
However, Mingjing had no idea at the time that this bracelet would later change her life.
Not wanting to leave empty-handed after failing to catch any salmon, and fearing the sharks might return, Mingjing quickly picked up some crabs, a few abalone, and two large lobsters before bringing them ashore.
The seafood wasn't put into the ship's water tank, and Mingjing was afraid that Ming Dashan would renege on the debt, so he stored it at a fishing tackle shop.
Lying on the hard bed, Mingjing grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had wasted two anesthetics and still hadn't caught the salmon.
She used up most of her points, and now she's back to square one.
I'll have to tighten my belt and live frugally when I get back.
The first ray of sunlight crossed the sea level, and the golden sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.
Mingjing stood on the deck, yawning sleepily.
Ming Dashan stood at the bow of the boat pulling the fishing net. There weren't many fish, but they were all quite large. He figured that if the fish were divided among several families, they could make a small profit. He glanced smugly at Ming Jing.
Yesterday, he saw Mingjing go to sea in the middle of the night and come back empty-handed, presumably having caught nothing. Thinking of this, he was extremely pleased with himself.
"Mingjing, the man you saved yesterday has disappeared. Is he shy because you kissed him?"
The speaker was Song Laosan, an old bachelor with tanned skin. He loved to flirt with young women. His work at sea was monotonous, and he wouldn't let a young girl go to waste.
The crowd chuckled softly.
Mingjing ignored him and turned to look at the cabin, whereupon he was indeed gone.
