The ship wasn't big, and there were only about twenty people on board.
The profit of this small trading ship was not big, but they were all fishermen. They relied on this to make a living. That was why they were willing to do long-distance transportation.
When summer came up, all the people had already come out. They were holding spears, fishing nets, harpoons, and so on.
Big fish!
It was their general name for some of the larger fish, including whales and sharks. They were all part of the larger fish.
"What's wrong?" Xiatian Asked.
"The big fish is hitting our ship. If it continues to hit us, the goods on board will be scattered." The woman explained.
"Can't we just kill it?" Xiatian Asked again.
"It's not as simple as you think." The woman was not happy. She thought that Xiatian was talking nonsense.
Xiatian looked at the people around him. They seemed to be trying to scare the big fish away. Fish were very flexible in the water, especially big fish. Only torpedoes were effective against them.
Unfortunately, this small trading ship was not equipped with torpedoes.
So they only used this method to chase the big fish away.
"No, this big fish won't leave." The people around him said gloomily.
"Use spears. Aim and shoot." The captain said.
There were ten spears on board.
The ten of them kept firing at him.
But after two rounds, they did not hit anything.
If this continued, their ship's cargo would be ruined.
This was the first time they were going on a long-distance business trip. If they were to fail just like that, they would be done for. They would lose all their savings.
They had always been doing short-distance transportation. This time, they heard that others were making money by doing long-distance transportation. So they wanted to try their luck. They naturally knew that there were many dangers at sea, but wealth came from risk.
"No, captain. This fish is too fast. We can't hit it at all."
"Let me try!" Just when the captain was feeling gloomy, Xiatian suddenly said.
"You?" The captain looked at Xiatian in confusion.
"En, I want to try!" Xiatian nodded.
The other people around them all showed very dissatisfied expressions because Xiatian was still an outsider. Now that they couldn't hit him, this outsider actually opened his mouth to try!
If it wasn't for the captain, they wouldn't have let this unknown person on the ship. Besides, the spear gun was the most lethal weapon on the ship. It would be bad if he took the spear gun and threatened them.
However, they didn't say anything. The only person who could make decisions on this ship was the captain.
But they all looked at the captain with dissatisfaction.
The captain naturally saw everyone's expression, but he really couldn't think of a better way now. "Okay, let's give it a try."
"Boat."
Someone wanted to step forward and say something, but he was stopped by the people around him.
"I know you're worried. Don't worry, I've never misjudged anyone in my life. He won't hurt us. Let him try. What if he succeeds?" The captain knew that everyone was worried that Xiatian would take the spear gun and point it at them.
The people on this ship listened to the captain because they were all people who were saved by the captain. Some of them were even the captain's godsons and goddaughters.
Now that they heard the captain say so, they all nodded.
"Thank you for your trust." Xiatian took a spear gun and looked at it. He weighed it in his hand a few times, then turned to look at the captain. When he turned back, the other spears were all pointed at him.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask, can I tie a rope to this thing?" Xiatian saw their vigilant eyes and hurriedly explained.
"Yes, but tying a rope will affect the accuracy," the captain said.
"It's okay, just tie a rope," Xiatian said.
The captain asked someone to bring a rope. The rope was not thick, but it was very strong. It was made of the same material as the fishing line.
After Xiatian tied the rope, he looked directly into the water.
Dong!
The big fish would hit the boat every once in a while.
Xiatian still did not move. He just stood there with the gun. A sniper would not move before the prey appeared. Even if there was a mosquito bite, he would not move. This was the most basic requirement for a good sniper.
Everyone was also looking at Xiatian. No one said anything.
However, their faces were still full of disbelief. From the bottom of their hearts, they did not believe that Xiatian could hit the target. They did not say anything because of the captain.
On this ship, as long as it was the captain's order, no one would refuse.
Xiatian had been in this position for almost five minutes. He did not shoot. The big fish swam over twice, but it swam away.
Seeing that Xiatian did not shoot for so long, everyone was shocked.
However, he was not disappointed.
However, he wasn't too disappointed. After all, in the beginning, he only wanted to let Xia Xia try.
Xiu!
At this moment, Xiatian shot.
Bang!
The big fish was directly penetrated by the spear. The big fish did not die directly under the pain. Instead, it slapped the water a few times.
"Pull!" Xiatian shouted. The people behind him hurriedly pulled back!
Xiatian also put down the spear in his hand and pulled up with everyone.
Under normal circumstances, he could pull up by himself. However, his internal strength had not recovered yet. Moreover, his arms and legs were seriously injured, so he could only pull with everyone.
With so many people, the big fish was pulled up directly.
After the big fish was pulled up, it kept struggling on the deck.
This big fish was more than one meter long!
"Such a big guy." The captain looked at the big fish in surprise. However, he immediately remembered the hero who subdued the big fish. Then, he turned to Xiatian and said, "It's been hard on you."
"It's not hard. If you didn't take me in, I would have been buried in the sea." Xiatian smiled slightly.
"I really didn't misjudge you. Inform everyone that there will be an extra meal today." The captain patted Xiatian's shoulder and said.
The others also came forward and shook hands with Xiatian one by one. The shot just now had let Xiatian gain everyone's recognition.
After a simple introduction, the chefs began to deal with the big fish. The captain gave Xiatian a small stool. The two sat there and helped the chefs to deal with the big fish.
"Are you used to being on the ship?" Asked the captain.
"I can eat fish now, but the fish can't eat me. If you wanted to throw me into the sea, I would have become fish food now." Xiatian said.
