Chapter 1 Fishing Village Veterans
Fulin Island is located at the easternmost tip of the mainland, surrounded by the sea on all sides, with a land area of ​​only three square kilometers and a permanent population of less than 400. It is an isolated overseas island far from the inland where fishery is the pillar industry.

For the people living in the fishing village, they seldom pay attention to the information outside the island, and even if there is anything new in the village, it will become a topic of chat among the villagers.Although the fishing village has also opened satellite TV, the fishing village is still becoming more and more deserted.

Most of the young people in fishing villages choose to move out of fishing villages and go to inland cities to work and settle down.Only a small number of young fishermen continue to engage in fishing for a living, inheriting the skills of their ancestors.

With the depletion of offshore fishery resources, it is becoming less and less common for empty boats to go out and return with full fish.This also means that the income of fishermen in the village who make a living from fishing has also been greatly affected.

In addition, fishing at sea is extremely risky. In the event of a typhoon or bad sea conditions, fishermen who go fishing often have their boats destroyed.In this case, more and more people are eager to get out of the fishing village.

But what puzzled the villagers was that someone came back to this village that everyone wanted to escape a few days ago.What puzzled the villagers even more was that the young man who could have lived in the city seemed to have really decided to stay in the village for a long time.

Villagers who often get up early, looking at the young man trotting home from the mountain road, will also ask curiously: "Bao Wa, you really don't want to go out and decide to stay in your hometown? This kid, don't be stupid!"

The young man who was questioned, still smiled and said: "I think it's good to stay in the village! The air is fresh and there is no pollution, and you can often go swimming in the sea. This kind of life is very good!"

"Oh, I really don't understand what you youngsters are thinking!"

Knowing that returning to his hometown will indeed arouse curiosity and confusion, Xu Haibao has a reason to go home.Even if his family has moved to a small inland town to live in and resettle again, Xu Haibao prefers the freedom of the fishing village.

Back at his old house in the village, looking at the two-storey stone house, Xu Haibao still looked friendly.This stone house, which records all his childhood memories, makes him feel more at ease than the buildings his family bought in the city.

After eating homemade shrimp porridge and looking at the few living supplies left at home, Xu Haibao also knew that he needed to ask someone to buy something.Now that I'm back in my hometown, I have to live on my own!

When he came to the pier at the entrance of the village, looking at the villagers who were about to go to the fishing market in the small town, Xu Haibao found an acquaintance and said, "Uncle San, are you going to the town to deliver fish again? Did you catch any good ones yesterday?"

"Bao Wa, do you want to go back to town? There are no good goods. These few boxes of fishing goods are worth a thousand dollars at most!"

The third uncle, Xu Licheng, was not Xu Haibao's real uncle, but his closest relative's cousin.As for Xu Haibao's father, Xu Liyan, currently works in a machinery factory in the city.Because of his good craftsmanship, his father's salary in the city is naturally good.

Seeing the third uncle's slightly regretful expression, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "Third uncle, you earn more than 1000 a day, are you still not satisfied?"

"Silly boy, do you really not understand or are you just pretending not to understand? I didn't catch this fish alone, and I have to share it with others! Now the fish are getting less and less, and the oil money is getting more and more expensive. Go down, and you will never dare to go to sea again!"

As Xu Licheng said, although most of the fishermen in the fishing village have fishing boats.But when going fishing, most of them like to find someone to fish with.After all, it is really difficult for one person to complete fishing operations at sea.

Even if there are husband and wife fishing together, Xu Haibao knows that his third aunt has been in poor health and basically doesn't go to sea now.The income of the family depends entirely on third uncle's fishing.In the bad season, earning living expenses will become a problem!

"By the way, you kid really decided to stay in the village? What can you do? You can't fish with me too? Your dad does too. Wouldn't it be great to ask him to arrange something for you in the factory? Yes Now, don't you arrange a job after you leave the army?"

"Third Uncle, I'm just a junior non-commissioned officer, and the retired government doesn't arrange work. As for the work, I'll look at it first. After five years in the army, it's rare to relax and take a break first.

If you really want to find a job, I think it would be better to go fishing with you if you enter the factory!From childhood to adulthood, apart from going to the town to attend high school, including when I was a soldier, I was always by the sea.I think, without the sea, I probably can't live! "

Xu Haibao, who was laughing and arguing with his third uncle, also helped to organize some fish that had been frozen in ice and put them on the fishing boat.Although this kind of seafood is not very fresh, compared with those sold inland, the seafood here is undoubtedly fresher.

Although Xu Haibao didn't tell the truth, he knew that this third uncle would move out of the fishing village and settle in the city in a few years.The reason is that Xu Haixing, the third uncle's son, is currently working in a foreign trade company in another city.

Not even two years later, Xu Haixing will find a girlfriend in the city to fall in love with and get married.The third uncle and the third aunt will also move to the city to live with their son and take care of their newborn grandson for their son.

Seeing this, some people may be curious, how does Xu Haibao know what will happen in the future?
In fact, this has a lot to do with Xu Haibao's decision to return to the village.As Xu Haibao said, he has been dealing with the ocean all his life, and he has never left the ocean.

After leaving the army in his previous life, Xu Haibao did not return to live in the village, nor did he follow his father's arrangement to become an apprentice in a machinery factory.Instead, with the help of an old comrade in arms, he found a job in a company engaged in marine salvage.

As a former naval submariner, Xu Haibao knows how to sail a boat and is one of the few good at deep diving.With this ability, Xu Haibao was in the salvage industry in his previous life and became a sought-after item for many salvage companies.

Before rebirth, Xu Haibao, who was hired by a foreign salvage company with a lot of money, followed the deep divers recruited from all over the world to enter the Bermuda Triangle waters known as the "Devil's Sea", and was responsible for the seabed exploration of a sunken ship.

No one expected that that deep dive exploration would become his swan song.He was directly drawn into the boundless dark sea surge cave by a sudden seabed undercurrent.At that time, Xu Haibao regretted taking this job very much.

But what shocked Xu Haibao the most was that when he woke up again, he was found lying in a military hospital.The reason why he was hospitalized was that he was engaged in a deep-sea diving exploration, but an accident happened and he almost died.

Xu Haibao, who was rescued back to the ship by his comrades and finally managed to escape, was also allowed to be discharged from the army because of this almost fatal mistake.When he retired from the army and returned to his hometown, Xu Haibao was still in a state of confusion.

The main reason why Xu Haibao finally decided to go back to his hometown to adjust his state was that he found an extra bead in his mind.As for where this bead came from and what it was, Xu Haibao had no idea.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that even if the bead is taken to the hospital for a brain CT scan, nothing can be seen.When Xu Haibao accidentally went swimming in the sea the last time he was in the city, he found some changes in his body.

It wasn't a physical change, but after his body submerged into the sea, he could clearly feel that the water pressure on his body was much less than before.Even free diving, he can swim fast in waters of [-] meters deep.

That is, the unintentional going into the sea after retiring from the army seemed to have inspired the nameless pearl in my mind.A mysterious and mysterious memory appeared in his mind out of thin air.Xu Haibao, who has read some fantasy novels, knows that this should be the inheritance of the Wumingzhu.

Xuanshui Jue, a kind of Jue similar to cultivation!

With the mentality of giving it a try, Xu Haibao has been practicing and meditating accordingly since he was discharged from the army, and has gradually discovered the benefits brought to him by the nameless beads.After all, Xu Haibao felt that this nameless pearl was the golden finger brought to him by rebirth.

In addition to strengthening his water-based affinity, Wumingzhu also increased Xu Haibao's physique.The reason why Xu Haibao chose to go back to his hometown was also because he discovered that the more water in the place where he practiced, the faster he could practice.

Even in a very accidental process, Xu Haibao discovered that the Wumingzhu still had a space.However, this space is composed entirely of water and air, and the area is not large.Xu Haibao tried to go in, but found that he couldn't get in at all.

I don't know if the area inside the beads is too small, or for other reasons.Some things like fish and shrimp can be put into the inner space of the bead instead.To Xu Haibao's delight, the fish and shrimp can still survive inside.

Xu Haibao, who has not stopped practicing since his discharge from the army, also found that after he completed the first level of Xuanshui Jue, the space of the Nameless Pearl has expanded a bit.The boundless clouds and mist in the space seemed to be dispelled.

This made Xu Haibao feel that the space area of ​​the Wuming Pearl may also have something to do with his level of cultivation.If you want to see the true face of Wumingzhu, you need to continue to practice diligently.

Most importantly, through this adventure of rebirth, Xu Haibao felt the possibility of the existence of higher-level life forms.This made Xu Haibao very much looking forward to how wonderful his life would be after being reborn in this life.

Recalling that in my previous life, I traveled all over the oceans and traveled around the world with the salvage ship I worked on, and I made a lot of money.But for the family, there is always a sense of guilt.It is rare to live a new life, Xu Haibao feels that he needs to make up for some debts to his family.

In order to avoid being too shocking, Xu Haibao would go to the mountain behind the village to practice every morning.Although the sea wind is strong there, to Xu Haibao, it seems that there are more water elements that can be collected there.

Compared with practicing at home, the effect of practicing in that place is better.And running down from the top of the mountain every morning seems to have become a habit of the villagers.As for the excuse to cover up, it is the morning running habit developed by the troops.

Watching the third uncle's fishing boat leave the pier, Xu Haibao knew that it would probably be in the afternoon when the third uncle came back.For the villagers living in fishing villages, the cost of fuel is not a small expense for the voyage of tens of nautical miles back and forth.

When encountering bad sea conditions, most of the villagers in the fishing village can only stay at home.Perhaps it is this kind of living environment that makes the villagers living in the village more eager and longing for life outside the island!
