Chapter 404 Letters from the seaside, various visions

It can be seen that this pure white pigeon must have experienced a very arduous journey.

Although it was flying with all its strength, its flying attitude was very unstable and wobbly, and it seemed that it could fall down at any time.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ya immediately stretched out his fingers and gently stirred the air in front of him.

Then something magical happened.

An invisible ripple spread quickly and rushed in front of the carrier pigeon in an instant.

Then a gentle force, like a pair of invisible big hands, gently lifted the exhausted carrier pigeon and brought it to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya caught it, and after taking off the letter bag tied between his legs, he quickly took out a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into the pigeon's mouth, and gently stroked its feathers.

The pure real power quickly soothed its muscles that were cramped due to excessive fatigue.

This kind of homing pigeon is actually a strange beast, otherwise it would not be possible to cross a distance of tens of thousands of miles and send messages accurately.

So after Zhao Ya's actions, it quickly recovered.

Immediately afterwards, he saw it fluttering its wings and flying from Zhao Ya's hand, hovering in the air for a few times before landing on his shoulder, and then tilted its head to look at Zhao Ya, as if waiting for his response.

Zhao Ya smiled when he saw this, then opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

Carrier pigeons cannot carry heavy items, so the letter paper is only one thin page, and the message written on it is also very brief.

The letter was sent by Kong Xiangdong.

Zhao Ya and he had made an agreement before they parted. When he leads the team into the snowfields of the north next summer, he must convey information to Zhao Ya at any time.

Especially every move of Wuwang Hai must be closely followed and reported.

So this summer, Zhao Ya received no less than three or four letters from the snowy fields of the north, and the contents recorded in them once again confirmed Zhao Ya's previous guesses.

The unusual movements in Wuwanghai are indeed becoming more frequent.

The rising fog, which was rare before, has happened three or four times this summer. As for the "Sea Dragon King's patrol", it has become a common occurrence.

However, because people rushing to sea this time had taken precautions, the several upsurges of fog did not cause much damage.

On the contrary, thanks to the help of the freeloader leader, Kong Xiangdong and the others' income this year was far higher than in previous years.

Everyone who travels to the sea is happy with their earnings.

This has also resulted in business in the town being more prosperous than in previous years.

Kong Xiangdong once mentioned this in his letter, saying that even the girls who accompanied him were very grateful to Zhao Ya and believed that the good years were largely due to him.

Zhao Ya didn't care much about this. What he was more concerned about was that now that summer was coming to an end, it stands to reason that Kong Xiangdong should be busy leading people to retreat at this time. Why did he go to all the trouble to deliver the message?

After reading this letter, Zhao Ya's expression gradually became serious.

Although brief, the information revealed is important.

Kong Xiangdong said in the letter that there is something wrong with Wuwanghai this year. The weather is very abnormal. Even though it is early autumn, the temperature is still very high.

certainly.

This high is relative to the average temperature in Wuwanghai in previous years. It does not mean that it will reach the level of 17 or 18 degrees all of a sudden, but it will remain at about ten degrees below zero.

That's fine.

You must know that in previous years, even in midsummer, the temperature of Wuwanghai has never reached this high.

Not only that, even the polar night seems to be late.

To this day, the sun still hangs in the sky, bringing little but warm light to the Wuwu Sea.

These two anomalies have made many people who have been living on the beach of Wuwuhai feel incredible.

But these doubts were soon diluted by another important discovery.

Under this abnormal temperature, Wuwanghai's output also increased greatly.

After every low tide, there are countless scales, fish, crabs and shells on the seabed.

This kind of scene is what every seafarer dreams of, so these people are all crazy.

Even if the other sea-going teams didn't have free help like Kong Xiangdong and others, in this situation, which was like picking up money, these sea-going people still gained a lot.

But Kong Xiangdong smelled danger.

For this reason, he fought against all opinions and forcibly ordered his sea-driving people to relocate despite their pleas.

But Kong Xiangdong also wanted to know what Wuwanghai was doing, so he did not completely leave the northern snowfield.

He took people to move to the front of the Snowy Mountains, which is still some distance from the sea. Even if there is danger, they can escape as soon as possible.

At the same time, Kong Xiangdong also sent people to the beach every day to observe and record the movements of Wuwanghai.

At the end of the letter, Kong Xiangdong also asked Zhao Ya whether his decision was correct.

Zhao Ya put the letter away, pondered for a moment, then turned back to the house, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a reply.

The content of the letter is also very simple.

First of all, Zhao Ya affirmed Kong Xiangdong's approach.

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

Wuwanghai, which had an extremely harsh environment in previous years, suddenly changed from normal. Not only was the temperature far higher than in previous years, but the seafood was also much higher.

Coupled with the increasingly frequent mist rising, this is obviously not the so-called "Sea Dragon King" who is really showing mercy.

After all, behind the abnormal temptation, there must be huge risks.

Secondly, Zhao Ya also told Kong Xiangdong that he must ensure his own safety and act when the opportunity arises.

If this situation continues in a few days, then take the team and leave the northern snowfield first.

The reason why Zhao Ya said this was because he knew that Kong Xiangdong must be facing tremendous pressure at this time.

On one side are other seafarers who are making a lot of money every day, on the other side they can only stay in front of the snow-capped mountains.

The contrast is huge, that is, for a leader like Kong Xiangdong who usually has great prestige.

If it had been anyone else, his subordinates would have started a quarrel long ago.

Even so, Zhao Ya could guess the pressure Kong Xiangdong was under.

If this state of affairs continues in a few days, no matter how high Kong Xiangdong's usual prestige is, he may not be able to convince the public.

After all, nothing can compare with naked profit.

It is true that Kong Xiangdong can temporarily control the situation.

However, long-term suppression will only lead to disunity and ultimately the disintegration of the team. By then it will be too late to restore the situation.

If Kong Xiangdong is still uneasy, he can retreat outside the snowfield in the north, and then observe the trends through the Baichiniao leader.

After writing this, Zhao Ya checked it carefully and made sure that nothing was missing before putting it into the envelope and tying it to the carrier pigeon's leg.

The homing pigeon waited obediently during the whole process, and then looked at Zhao Ya with its black eyes like beans.

Zhao Ya smiled, reached out and took out a few more dried meats from his arms, and then fed them to the homing pigeon.

"Store it in your stomach and digest it slowly on the way!"

After listening to the instructions, the homing pigeon seemed to understand. It nodded slightly, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky, hovering over Zhao Ya.

"You are so lazy!"

Zhao Ya complained, and then stirred the air in front of him again.

Immediately, an invisible ripple of spiritual power pushed the homing pigeon from behind, helping it quickly go down the mountain.

This is like a ship encountering a favorable wind when sailing on the sea, which can greatly save physical energy.

And with Zhao Ya's current strength, he can send this homing pigeon hundreds of miles away.

Of course, this is also due to the small size and extremely light weight of this homing pigeon, as well as its conscious cooperation.

Zhao Ya also did it for the purpose of experiment, so he tried it.

Unexpectedly, this homing pigeon remembered it and waited for a "hitchhike" sent by Zhao Ya every time it returned.

After watching the carrier pigeon go away, Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head, then left the small courtyard and went to the former teacher's contribution office to continue discussing with Shen Yunshen and Qin Jianji about organizing the secret knowledge of Canglong Temple.

The distance between Canglong Temple and the northern snowfield is at least 20,000 miles if you walk.

But the homing pigeon is different because it flies at a very high speed. This way it can avoid interference from mountains and birds of prey, and it can travel in a straight line.

But even in this case, the straight-line distance is thousands of miles away.

This distance is a challenge even for the carrier pigeon, which is a strange animal. It will take about four days to travel at full strength.

And just as the homing pigeon was heading towards the northern snowfields, in the camp in front of the snowy mountain, a group of people were hiding in a tent, drinking and chatting.

Because of the obstruction of the mountain peaks, even if the sun has not yet set, the area of ​​the camp has been plunged into darkness.

Because there was a light snowfall in the evening, the temperature was a little low, but this was not worth mentioning to this group of seafarers who were used to making a living at Wuwu Beach.

For example, at this moment in this tent, someone took off his shirt and was drinking shirtless.

The wine is all good, and even the food is something that these people who traveled to the sea would not be willing to eat in previous years.

But this year is different.

Especially with the help of the freeloader leader, Kong Xiangdong's seamen all gained a lot, and they naturally spent money lavishly.

But at this moment, despite the good wine and food, the atmosphere in the tent was a little strange.

If in the past, these people who drove the sea were not only grateful but also grateful to their leaders, now as time goes by, many people have a strange feeling in their hearts.

Especially after hearing first-hand the daily gains of those who still stayed at Wuwu Seaside, many people's ideas have quietly changed.

"Today the big boss sent Xiao Liuzi to the beach to detect the situation. According to what he said after he came back, the people on the beach are making crazy money now. They can harvest at least three barrels of dried fish every day, not to mention other harvests. It's over." Someone whispered while drinking.

These remarks made the atmosphere in the tent become increasingly dull.

There was envy in some people's eyes.

After all, it’s all money!

You must know that even in this year with the best profits, each of them only harvested a little more than a barrel of dried fish per day on average. As for other harvests, they were no different from previous years.

This was enough to make them ecstatic.

You can imagine how crazy those people who harvest two or three barrels of dried fish every day must be now.

Suddenly.

Someone slammed the table and said with resentment, "I really don't understand why the big boss is so cautious."

"Isn't it just that this year's temperature is a little higher than in previous years, and the polar night comes a little later? Instead of seizing this God-given opportunity to make a fortune, we actually hid in front of the snowy mountains for the so-called safety, causing our brothers to It’s really frustrating to have to watch other people make a fortune on the beach.”

The speaker had a beard all over his face, but he obviously had some prestige among these seafarers, and his words resonated with many people.

"Who says it's not? I don't understand what the big leader who was fearless in the past is afraid of this time? Could it be that he was frightened by the rising fog last year?" someone echoed.

"This rising fog is really scary, but as long as we send someone to look out and discover it in advance, it's actually nothing," said the bearded man.

"I heard people say that the big boss seemed to think that this year's abnormal weather meant something ominous, so he hid here."

"Then why don't you just leave? Are we brothers hiding here on purpose to watch others get rich?" Someone suddenly sneered.

These words were very rude, and everyone turned their attention to the speaker. Only then did they realize that the speaker was a young man who had joined the team this year.

"Shh, that's our big boss, please be polite!" someone warned.

The young man also felt that he had made a mistake, so he temporarily kept his mouth shut.

"I also heard that the reason why the big boss hid here and sent people to the beach every day to check the latest progress was to report the latest situation to the young man from last year."

After hearing these words, many people shut their mouths, even the bearded guest who was the first to complain.

Because almost all of the people present have inherited Zhao Ya's kindness. Not to mention the life-saving grace last year, the reason why they have gained so much this year is largely due to the bird that Zhao Ya "gifted" to the big leader. Freeloader leader.

So when they heard it was because of him, these people stopped talking.

But the young man who just spoke didn't care about that.

Because he just joined this year, he has no impression of Zhao Ya, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it.

Therefore, he took the lead and said: "No matter who it is because of, delaying it like this is not an option after all!"

"Everyone, I am different from you. You have all been earning money for several years and have some savings on hand. You don't have to worry. But I am different. I am full of hunger now. I am just waiting for this time to turn around when I go back. .”

"So I don't know what you guys are thinking. I plan to secretly go to the beach tomorrow to see if I can get something back. Is anyone with me?"

After hearing this young man's words, many people's faces showed emotion.

But when they think of Kong Xiangdong's usual prestige, these people all wilt again.

Seeing this scene, the young man sneered.

"Okay, then I'll go by myself tomorrow, go back to sleep, and say goodbye."

After saying this, the man stood up and was about to walk out. At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and Kong Xiangdong walked in from the outside.
