Chapter 6: Anglers will never be in the air force
“???”
Many question marks popped up in Xia En’s mind.
Girl?
Joy turns out to be a girl?
If you think about it carefully, Joey does not display clear gender characteristics.
The name itself was unisex, and coupled with her rough and weird appearance, Xia En subconsciously thought of her as a teenager.
Now that I think about it, it was probably a disguise she made, and it was also a kind of self-protection for the weak.
After all, women have always been in a weak position at sea.
Even some ships would rather carry ewes than women on board, considering it a taboo.
Of course, there are also strong women who can break through this unequal discrimination.
Either become a sailor on the ship, or become the captain yourself, control the ship and set sail!
What worries Xia En even more is Joey's bloodline.
Siren...
If he remembered correctly, this seems to be a mythical creature?
It is said that the Siren is a sea monster with a human face and a fish body. It has a charming appearance and an elegant body. It will lure ships on the sea with its beautiful singing voice. When the sailors come to their senses, the ship has hit the rocks and sunk.
In some legends, sirens are creatures with bird heads and human bodies or human heads and bird bodies.
However, looking at the description on the panel, it seems that Joey is not a pure-blooded siren, but a human with the blood of a siren.
"Hiss..."
Xia En took a slight breath.
Are all humans in this world playing this wild?
Being both a succubus and a siren, the XP is really extraordinary.
After a brief surprise, Xia En quickly calmed down.
It didn't matter to him whether Joey was a boy or a girl, a siren or a human.
As long as Joey can be a qualified crew member and work for herself, no matter how big of a secret she has, Xia En won't bother to pursue it.
Who in this world doesn’t have some secrets yet?
Thinking of this, Xia En's mentality instantly calmed down, and he still had the time to look at the undulating buoys on the sea.
Suddenly, the front end of the fishing rod beside him bent slightly, and the fishing line suddenly became taut.
“A fish has taken the bait!”
Xia En looked happy and said to himself excitedly: “I knew it, how could I know how to be in the Air Force?”
He walked quickly to the fishing rod and began to lift the rod and reel in the line.
After a while, Xia En fell into silence while looking at a coarse sack he had caught.
"Hey, I still don't believe it! Come again!"
The soul of the fisherman in Xia En's heart burned brightly, so he simply took out two more fishing rods from the cabin.
“If you use three poles together, I don’t believe you can’t catch fish!”
......
......
Joy woke up from the bed in a daze, his head still a little dizzy.
Her hungry stomach was urging her to get up.
Lying in bed hungry is an unpleasant memory for Joy. When she was younger, she relied on sleeping to get through her hungriest moments, almost falling into eternal sleep.
Since then, she has understood that when hunger exceeds the critical point, death will visit her in her sleep.
Shaking his head and leaving the bad memories behind, Joey thought strangely.
"Huh? Didn't the captain come to call me?"
Joy felt as if she had slept for a long time. She looked out the window and found that it was completely dark.
The sea at night seemed darker and more terrifying, making her feel like she couldn't bear to look directly.
Acting on a foraging instinct, Joey left the room and headed toward the deck.
Then she saw an extremely strange scene on the deck.
Captain Xia En is sitting next to three fishing rods, staring at the vast sea in front of him with red eyes, like a gambler who has lost his money.
At his feet lay a mess of strange things.
Including but not limited to a coarse cloth sack, a large ball of black algae, a boot with a big hole, and even a skull head with empty eye sockets staring ahead, seemingly resentful. Joey: "..."
Did the captain catch these things?
But what about the fish? Where are the fish?
At this time, Shane also noticed Joey's arrival, coughed twice and said.
“Ahem, you may not believe it, but I actually caught a big one and put it in the kitchen, which is the innermost room of the cabin.”
"Joy, can you cook fish? I can't leave here yet, why don't you help me take care of it?"
Joy was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Watching Joey's back leave, Shane wiped his sweat and kicked the fishing rod next to him in anger.
After these few hours, Xia En has discovered to some extent that his fishing talent seems to be a bit crooked.
There wasn't a single fish, just a bunch of random things being caught.
This is also another kind of...Never Air Force?
It was useless to leave the garbage on the boat, so Xia En simply threw it back into the sea.
“Next time, don’t let me catch you again!”
As soon as he finished cleaning the deck, Shane heard a low exclamation coming from the cabin.
"Wow, what a big fish!"
Xia En's face turned slightly red. Although this saw shark was his trophy, it had nothing to do with fishing.
On Earth, if he could catch such a big fish, he would probably have to hang out on the street until dark before going home.
When Xia En walked to the kitchen, he saw that under the light of the kerosene lamp, the previous saw shark had been cut into eight pieces, and the bones and internal organs were taken out and thrown aside.
And Joey was standing in it with a blood-stained bone-cutting knife, his clothes stained with blood.
With this image, he could definitely make a cameo on the set of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night".
Xia En: "..."
I can't tell that this little girl still has this skill.
“Captain, you are here.”
Joy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his small hands, and said with excitement in his tone: “Such a big fish should last for several days. ! ”
"Just wait and taste my cooking!"
Xia En watched for a while and noticed that Joey was packing the ingredients very neatly. He looked like someone who had been in the kitchen.
He couldn't help but nodded secretly.
When sailing on the sea, a good cook is also very important.
But soon, Shane noticed that even when cooking sharks, Joey still wrapped herself tightly, and her seaweed-like hair covered half of her face, making people curious about who she was. How to work with this perspective.
Not long after, two large bowls of fragrant fish soup were brought to the table.
With some bread bought on the island, this is a good dinner.
Xia En took a brief taste of the shark soup, and it tasted unexpectedly delicious.
The expected fishy smell is very light and within the acceptable range.
In addition to the variation in the shark's own physiological structure, Joey's cooking skills also played a big role.
After a bowl of hot soup, Xia En could not help but praise as his body warmed up.
“Joy, your skills are quite good!”
Joy smiled shyly: “I worked in a tavern on the island for two years before. The old master has learned a few tricks and knows a little bit about cooking."
"Oh, that's it."
Xia En asked smoothly: "Speaking of which, besides cooking, you have. What else? Can you dive and salvage? ”
This was just an ordinary question, but Joey's reaction was a bit loud, as if he was choking on a fish bone, he coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xia En frowned strangely: "Huh?"
Joy lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally said proactively: "Captain Sir, I’ll tell you the truth.”
“I can do all the odd jobs on the ship, but my physique is different from that of ordinary people, so I can’t swim in the sea, and I can’t work as a salvager.”
Please recommend! Please collect it!
