Chapter 72 The last chapter of the year
Seeing that the big guy finally stopped moving, Lin Tianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He swam over and found that it turned out that the shark was not biting Alex at all, but an oxygen cylinder. No wonder the shark couldn't swallow it and couldn't figure it out. He looked back and found that Alex had already climbed the sandbank. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Alex was fine.
Just as he and Alex were fighting sharks, Ning Siya was already holding the girl who picked the pearls and went to the shore.
Seeing that Lin Tianyu had already understood the matter, he swam to the shark and broke the oxygen bottle from the shark's mouth. The shark knife was stuck on the shark's palate and penetrated into the handle. Lin Tianyu pulled it out hard, and then hurriedly climbed up the sandbank and found that Ning Siya was doing artificial respiration for the girl, while Alex stood aside. He was not seriously injured, and he still looked calm. Lin Tianyu couldn't help but pay compensation. After all, he was a warrior who had experienced life and death in the arena, and he looked completely fine.
He threw the shark knife to Alex casually and turned to see the girl. After Ning Siya's rescue, he finally spit out the sea water in his stomach and breathed again.
"Thank God, she's fine!" Seeing that the girl finally breathed again, Ning Siya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and felt that she had not recovered from the excitement she had just now.
As soon as the girl opened her eyes, she saw three people in strange black clothes standing beside her. The girl was moved and surprised, and even a little shocked. She looked at the three strange guys, not knowing whether they were Poseidon's messengers or the humans turned into by the monsters living in this sea.
But at least she understood that these three people saved her, so she immediately thanked the three people immediately after being a little stunned.
Lin Tianyu shrugged, "If you want to thank her, I'll just protect myself."
Ning Siya was obviously stunned when she heard Lin Tianyu's unreasonable words, but she didn't say much and turned to comfort the girl.
It seems that the bluefin tuna is gone. Lin Tianyu looked at the vast sea and said with some emotion.
After experiencing such a thing, he felt that he could not continue to search like this. After all, compared to the desire to speak, life is more important.
The huge shark's corpse had floated up and floated on the sea with its back facing the sky. Lin Tianyu's heart moved. He swam to the shark and cut off all the shark's fins with a shark knife.
I thought it would be nice to get some fresh shark fins without tuna.
Alex looked at his weird behavior and was obviously puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"This is called shark fin. It is a very expensive ingredient in our place. Let my dad stew it well and try it."
Alex shrugged, obviously feeling a little difficult to understand Lin Tianyu's strange custom.
Although the oxygen cylinder was found, Alex's diving suit could not be repaired at all. On the other hand, Lin Tianyu was also afraid that the shark's corpse would attract more sharks, and the three of them would be difficult to resist, so he decided to take the girl's boat back and put it on.
The girl naturally did not dare to object and obediently let the three of them get on the boat.
The ship was very small, and the four of them could only squeeze it. The ship beneath her feet was filled with various shellfish. Ning Siya asked her curiously why she came to pick pearls so risky, but the girl's words made Ning Siya feel sad again.
It turned out that the parents of this pearl-picking girl died in a shipwreck a few years ago. She and her brother depended on each other for life, but unexpectedly, her brother fell ill a few days ago. She had to get rid of her brother and had to make a lot of money. She had no choice but to do anything that she went to the sea to do such a dangerous job.
After taking the boat to Lin Tianyu put it on, Ning Siya asked the girl to wait a moment, and then immediately began to search on the boat.
Lin Tianyu asked in confusion, "What are you looking for?"
"I want to find something to give to that girl. She is so pitiful. If I can give her some valuable things, she should be able to help her overcome this difficulty and live a better life in the future."
While saying that, she picked up a telescope, "How about giving her this?"
"Take it down, such a thing falls into the hands of an unarmed girl. Are you helping her or harming her?"
Lin Tianyu said as he picked up the cans left after drinking the beer, "Just give her this."
Ning Siya said in surprise, "These are all garbage."
"To you is garbage, but to people of this era, it is a treasure. The value of aluminum in ancient West is more expensive than gold. In ancient Western emperors, when they held banquets, they used aluminum tableware themselves, while ministers could only use gold tableware. Do you think this could not explain the problem?"
"These cans are more than one pound, which is enough to cure her brother's illness. Maybe they won't have to worry about the rest of their lives."
While saying that, he packed the cans in a woven bag and stuffed them to the girl.
Watching the girl with joy leave, Lin Tianyu shook his head. He couldn't continue looking for something like this today. After waved his hand, Alex pulled up the sail rope and drove towards the island.
On the way back, Ning Siya seemed a little silent, and seemed to be unable to let go of what she saw.
Lin Tianyu could understand that the first time I saw these ancient people's lives, it felt a bit hard to let go. He leaned against Ning Siya and slapped her shoulders, "I'm still thinking about that girl?"
Ning Siya nodded, "Yes, seeing that girl's life really makes people feel sorry for her."
After saying that, she suddenly raised her head and asked questioningly: "If I hadn't shot that spear, would you rescue me?" After she finished speaking, she stared at Lin Tianyu's eyes with a slightly hopeful look, as if she was looking forward to Lin Tianyu giving her a beautiful answer.
But unfortunately, Lin Tianyu shook his head, "I think I might attack if I don't fight."
"Why!?" Ning Siya asked in disbelief, "That's a life. Wouldn't you feel sad when you just watch a life disappear in front of you?"
"Of course I feel a little sad, but this is not a reason to take risks with me and my companions. Computer*Access o."
"But this cannot be a reason for you to stop watching. How can you be so unkind?"
"Of course I can think of this. If you have seen dozens of people fighting bloody on the sand and fighting beasts with their lives, and just to make the audience happy, you will do this."
Ning Siya was stunned, "You mean a gladiatorial competition?"
"That's right," Lin Tianyu pointed, "I've watched a lot of gladiating competitions when I was in ancient Rome, and those scenes were much more tragic than the ones just now. Do you think I should stand up and tell the ancient Romans that it's wrong for you to do this?"
"According to the third paragraph of the Time and Space Travel Guide Chapter 7, space and space travelers should try their best to follow the local customs and not force their thinking into the world to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although the girl is pitiful, as an ancient person, she must live with the ancient lifestyle. In our eyes, it may be miserable, but in her own eyes, she may have become accustomed to it. If my strength can crush the shark, I will certainly help, but if this behavior will bring unpredictable danger to myself and my companions, then I must think and act again and again."
"But!" Ning Siya wanted to argue something, but Lin Tianyu was not going to give her this opportunity.
"In this world, things that make us feel uncomfortable happen every moment. If you want to care about everything, you are simply seeking death and will also implicate your companions to die. Hugo once said in "Les Miserables", 'A saint who is too self-restrained is a partner who can mislead things. He can implicate you into a hopeless dead end, causing you to stiffen your joints and not be able to move.' For the safety of the team members, sometimes when you encounter some unfair things, you can only watch coldly. Anything that may bring danger to the team is unnecessary. I know that as a woman, you are more likely to be soft-hearted, but in the future we will travel to a more dangerous world, so now I need to remind you not to do things that are too impulsive, and I hope you can remember this."
Listening to Lin Tianyu's almost cold words, although he couldn't agree with it in his heart, Ning Siya still nodded silently.
After such an accident, Ning Siya seemed a little depressed in the next few days. It was not until the Spring Festival that the festive atmosphere diluted the depression in her heart.
When the New Year's Eve dinner finally began, Lin Tianyu regretted that he failed to fulfill his original promise. There was not a tuna meal on the table as he thought, but a large bowl of shark fin soup made up for this shortcoming.
I have only heard of this thing before. It is still very good to have the opportunity to try it. Although the taste is far less delicious than Lin Tianyu imagined, it is still very happy overall.
On this day, Dad Lin made an exception and did not drink white wine, but took out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for everyone.
Lin Xiaoke took the lead in raising the wine glass, "Come on, let's drink this glass, and wish our life will be smoother and more fulfilling in the coming year."
"I wish our life will be smoother and more fulfilling in the coming year!" Lin Tianyu and everyone said blessings together, gently savoring the bitter liquid in the cup, looking at the snowflakes gradually falling outside the window, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
