Lin Manzhang and others decided to go to sea on August 8th, and everyone went to prepare separately.

Lu Ao eats too much, so he focuses on preparing food.

In addition, he also specially prepared five pairs of fishing rods of different specifications for fishing when going out to sea.

Before going to sea, Lu Ao invited Song Zhou to his house for hot pot.

Songzhou has been busy lately. Lu Ao hadn't seen him for several days. When he saw him again, he still looked like a man with a clear breeze and bright moonlight. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you been busy lately?"

"It's okay. Monsters are active in summer and there are a lot of chores."

Lu Ao rarely heard him talk about work, "Will monster activities be divided into seasons?"

"Yes, many monsters like to come out and be active in summer and autumn, and generally lie dormant in winter and spring." Song Zhou said, "Every year we are busier in summer and autumn."

Lu Ao looked across the steam from the hot pot and asked, "Doesn't that mean we have to work overtime?"

"Occasionally."

"Oh." Lu Ao paused, looked at him and asked, "Do you need help?"

Song Zhou's eyes curled up, "No need."

Lu Ao didn't know what to say.

The two had a hot pot meal, and Lu Ao asked Song Zhou to come over and help look after the geese if he had time in the past few days.

Songzhou agreed gently and went out to say goodbye.

Lu Ao went back to the house to pack his luggage and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Lin Dawu drove over to pick them up.

The boat they rented was at Longxiang Pier, and they had to rush there to board the boat.

Lu Ao's house was at the back. When he got on the bus, Lin Dawu was the only one in the car.

He sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and asked, "How is Lin Guanchen's health?"

Lin Dawu looks a little older, but he is still in good spirits, especially with his hair cut short, which makes him look very neat.

Hearing Lu Ao ask, he said: "It's much better. The doctor said there will be almost no sequelae. If we continue to recuperate, it won't delay his start of school next semester."

“Does medical insurance reimburse more?”

"It's not bad. In the end, it cost about 120,000 yuan." Lin Dawu said, "Money is something external to the body. As long as people are safe."

Before Lu Ao could ask, he took the initiative and said, "As for Chenchen's girlfriend, there's basically nothing going on. Our two families have agreed to get married when they graduate."

When the girl fell into the sea, Lin Guanchen risked his life to save others. The girl and her family saw it and were very satisfied with his character.

Lin Guanchen is now a blessing in disguise, having solved a major life issue in one fell swoop.

Lin Dawu was in a good mood, and the smile in his eyes never went away. "Last night, Chenchen told me that when he gets better, he will definitely come over to thank you for saving them both."

Lu Ao said: "You're welcome."

"Hey, how can I not remember the life-saving grace in my heart." Lin Dawu smiled, "If you weren't still young, I would have wanted Chenchen to recognize you as my godfather and respect you in the future."

Lu Ao also had a smile in his eyes, "That's not necessary."

"Hahahaha, I'll just say it. Let him recognize you as his uncle. He will come to see you during the holidays in the future. I will also lend you your blessing and protect him."

"This nephew is too big." Lu Ao said, "Let's forget it."

"Okay, you have the final say. By the way, I'm going to tell you about the mountain in Tan Uk Village. Is it okay to pay thirty-eight yuan an acre?"

"Huh?" Lu Ao turned to look at him, "Can you talk about thirty-eight acres?"

"Okay. I originally wanted to tell you thirty-six acres, but they are unwilling to let go. Thirty-eight acres is fine. If you want it, they will go to town to find connections."

The people in Tanwu Village first offered NT$55, but now they can negotiate back to NT$38. One acre of land is NT$17 cheaper, which is an unexpected surprise.

Lu Ao asked: "Will the people in Tan Uk Estate have any objections?"

"I don't think so. There has been no news for so long after you said you wanted to cover the mountain. They themselves are panicking and are looking for someone to make peace. The price of thirty-eight acres is indeed not high, but it is equivalent to what fell from the sky.

Money, many people just muttered a few words and it was over."

Lu Ao thought for a while and said, "No rush, I'll go to sea first and then talk about this when I get back. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll let them go for a while, and I'll see if I can get you thirty-six dollars."

Lu Ao thanked him again.

The car quickly drove into Linwu Village, and Lin Manzhang and the others were waiting at the entrance of the village with their luggage.

Lin Dawu stopped the car and opened the trunk to put their luggage.

Lin Manzhang saw the two half-person-high bags of luggage in the trunk at a glance, "Lu Ao, these two bags of luggage don't belong to you, right?"

"Well, what?"

"Isn't this too much? We are only going to sea for a week. Looking at your posture, I thought you were moving. What are those bulging and hard things inside?"

"Some vegetables and meat."

Lin Manzhang patted Lin Gongshang's back lightly and said, "Hurry up and put your luggage, are you still leaving?"

"Let's go, let's go." Lin Gongshang said and touched the bag at last, exclaiming as he got into the car, "Aren't all the vegetables in it raw? Let's bring some seasonings and go out to sea.

Just eat it now, it’s too much trouble.”

Lu Ao turned to look at him, "You don't want to eat?"

"Eat!" Lin Gongshang chuckled, "I just yelled a few words."

While he was talking, Tan Junhao followed him into the car. When he met Lu Ao's gaze, he ducked uncomfortably.

Lin Gongshang told them privately that Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan were gay.

Others were fine, but Tan Junhao couldn't accept it, and he felt uncomfortable every time he got along with her.

Neither Lu Ao nor Lin Qiyan forced it, so they just pretended not to notice.

Lin Qiyan sat next to Lin Gongshang, and Lin Manzhang sat on the other side of him.

Lin Guixiao and Tan Junhao went to sit in the last row of seats.

Lin Dawu speeded up and sent them directly to Longxiang Pier.

Niu Deyu knew that they were going to sea, so he came out to treat them to breakfast.

At the dinner table, Niu Deyu smiled, "Everyone is having a smooth sailing. I will treat you to dinner when I get back."

Lin Manzhang said: "I will sell fish to you then."

"Okay, I will definitely offer you a good price." Niu Deyu's smile deepened, "Then I wish you lots of fish!"

After breakfast, Lin Manzhang personally checked the fresh water, vegetables, meat, diesel, etc. on the ship before going to the captain's cabin to slowly sail the ship.

They rented this fishing boat for 600 yuan a day. They planned to leave on the 8th and return on the 14th. They did nothing and had to spend 4,200 yuan on rent first.

In addition to rent, fuel costs will probably cost several thousand yuan, plus other daily necessities and labor. Anyone who does not catch fish worth more than 10,000 yuan on this trip will lose money on this trip.

The ship was slowing down, and everyone stood on the deck, most of them feeling expectant and nervous.

Lu Ao looked at the fishing boats around him.

It was now past ten o'clock in the morning, and there were not many fishing boats on the pier. Several speedboats and fishing boats stayed far away from their big boat and set off in all directions, with a long trail of water trailing behind the boat.

After leaving the port, their ship gradually accelerated and headed for the open sea.

The weather is also very good today, and the sun is making the deck hot.

Lin Gongshang and the others were hiding in the cabin, only Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan were on the deck.

Lu Ao dropped the fishhook and started fishing in the flowing water.

Lin Qiyan took some photos.

Their boat was sailing faster, the water spray was bigger, and the fish underneath were dodging. Even though Lu Ao was unlucky, his harvest was average.

After fishing all morning, I only caught a few small miscellaneous fish, not as much as the seabirds circling in the sky fishing for fish.

When passing the cross-sea bridge, Lin Manzhang stopped the boat.

He put his head out to ask for everyone's opinions, "Let's have lunch here, shall we? Let's go into the sea and spread some oysters and mussels on it?"

Nowadays, the oysters and mussels are very fat, and no one usually comes to the bridge pier. If you go diving and touch them, you will definitely get a lot of money.

Everyone has no opinion.

Lu Ao stretched out his hand and wiped his face, "Where is Yuhu?"

"Here, here!" Lin Gongshang Pidianpidian handed over the fish guard and an iron hook, "It's up to you whether you want to eat something dry or drink something dilute for lunch."

Lu Ao didn't bother to argue with him, so he tied the fish protector around his waist and dived into the sea.

The water quality here is average, and the visibility is average, but you can still see large oysters and strings of mussels attached to the bridge piers.

He directly transformed his hands into dragon claws to work.

People were entering the water one after another on several surrounding bridge piers.
