Tales Of The World Devouring Serpent

Ham leaned against the side of the boat, looking into the distance with a pair of binoculars in his hand.

There are no entertainment facilities on the boat, and there is no partner to play with Ham. He was quite excited at first, but after the excitement was over, the whole person felt bored.

Just like now.

He moved the telescope in his hand towards the sea in the distance at will, with no intention of admiring the distant scenery at all. Seeing this, it was clearly just to pass the boring time.

In the past few days, Ham will also help with some work, but it is only the simplest things, too complicated things, and he will only be allowed to do it after he has had the experience of fishing a few times.

And to tell the truth, fishing itself is not so much.

Just throw the net into the sea and drag it on for a day, or a night.

What they need to do is to pick up the fish after they enter the net, and then sort and refrigerate them.

If they don't catch the fish, they have nothing to do.

Teenagers are hyperactive, but Ham was only allowed to stay on this boat these days, but he was suffocated. But his father did not allow it.

Therefore, besides being in a daze, his daily entertainment is to look at the seascape in the distance with the telescope in his hand.

That is, at this time, the movement in his hand suddenly stopped, and then he looked out at a place.

Inside the lens barrel of his telescope, a shadow suddenly appeared.

Ham closed one eye, adjusted the focus of the telescope, and the shadow that appeared in the lens barrel suddenly became clearer.

That is a ship.

At the bow of the ship, there was a huge hook. In addition, there were many people walking on the board, and among those people was a big fish.

whale?

They're whalers!

Ham came to the conclusion at once that he had heard about this kind of boat from the stories Abba had told him, and knew that there was a group of people in this world who liked to hunt big whales.

However, these fishermen have never killed whales, because they can't eat them, and no one buys them.

After watching for a while, Ham also felt bored, and then he looked elsewhere.

Ham.

When Ham was lying on the side of the boat looking bored, a call suddenly rang out, and it was his father Nick calling him: Come over for dinner.

Ham walked with his father and asked, How is it, father, is there any fish in the net now?

Hearing this, Nick paused and said, Not yet, but there will be soon.

He touched Ham's head, feeling heavy in his heart too.

This was the first time that Ham went out to sea with them to fish. If he didn't catch anything, it would be bad. People in the village would say that Ham was a person who was not pitied by the goddess of luck.

It's been three days since they went out to sea, but they just caught a net of fish yesterday, about 500 catties, which is not a lot of fish.

However, Ham is not worried about these. He does not have a particularly clear understanding of these. He is just bored that he has not caught fish.

The two came to the simple dining room and started having dinner with the other nine companions on the boat.

After supper, Ham played on the deck for a while, then returned to his lounge, which was already dark by this time.

what!

Ham stretched his waist, then lit the kerosene lamp in front of his bed, and immediately took out a picture album from the cabinet.

On the cover of the album, a picture was drawn, showing a fishing boat sailing on a rough sea, and under the fishing boat, there was a terrifying monster staring above with its head held high.

Ham opened the picture book, and the contents inside were all illustrations of various monsters, as well as some brief words.

There's really nothing to see,

But for Ham, it is still interesting to watch.

There are very few books that I usually come into contact with.

Read less at night.

Nick glanced at Ham, and after a word, walked out with a handkerchief.

Got it, Dad.

Ham nodded to Nick, intending to watch for another twenty minutes, then turn off the lights and go to sleep.

However, after watching it for about ten minutes, there was a sudden gust of wind from outside the window. At first, Ham didn't care, but then the wind became louder and louder.

And more importantly, their fishing boats also swayed.

What's wrong?

The first experience of this kind of thing made Ham's heart skip a beat. He got off the bed, went to the window and looked out.

At this time, the sky had already turned dark, and some lights were emitting from their fishing boats, illuminating the nearby ten meters of sea.

And from farther away, it's not really visible.

The sky was gloomy, and heavy clouds of lead piled up continuously. The sea breeze blew past the fishing boat, and at the same time, Ham also saw the water flow under their fishing boat. surging.

And the shaking of their fishing boats is precisely because of these waves.

It is going to rain.

Ham was nervous, the scene outside looked a little scary, and the shaking of the fishing boat seemed to him as if it was about to capsize-he magnified the inclination in his mind.

Clearly, there will be a storm soon.

And this time they had been out at sea for several days, but this was the first time he had experienced this kind of weather, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

The gloomy sea surging all around looked extremely terrifying, and their fishing boat was in this sea, and there was no land around, which made Ham's heart suddenly feel insecure.

At this time, the stories of various shipwrecks that I had heard from adults before suddenly flooded into my mind. Most of the fishing boats in these stories were overturned in the sea because of the storm.

Along with these horror stories that appeared in Ham's mind, there were also icy corpses.

When he thought about it like this, the panic in his heart couldn't help but get stronger and stronger.
