Chapter 2 The Scrapped Sea Wolf
Nanwan Wharf, this is an inconspicuous little place in the southeast coastal town of Haiying Town.

Except for a few medium-sized freighters that come and go occasionally, there are mostly fishing boats on the pier.

Haiying Town has a well-developed fishing industry, and most of the townspeople make a living from fishing.

However, people's fishing boats are generally medium-sized fishing boats. There are fewer and fewer small fishing boats like Nie Yun who work alone. The development of industrialization has brought about a cluster effect. The fishing of large and medium-sized fishing boats is in terms of efficiency and profit. I don't know how many times more than a small fishing boat like Nie Yun.

In fact, with Nie Yun's excellent experience and skills, many fishing boats have thrown olive branches, but Nie Yun is reluctant to part with his own Sea Wolf, so he has always lived a half-dead solo career, with ups and downs.

The setting sun was slanting, and seeing dusk approaching, fishing boats returned to the pier in twos and threes to anchor from time to time, and the fishermen laughed loudly and talked about today's harvest.

"Look! It's the Sea Wolf! Something happened!" A fisherman next to him shouted in a broken voice, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction the man pointed.

It was an extremely dilapidated small fishing boat, with a puff of black smoke rising from the rear, the sails had been lowered, and the speed of sailing was comparable to that of a turtle. There was still a figure on the boat constantly bailing out water, obviously the boat was leaking.

This is Nie Yun's Sea Wolf. After more than two hours of continuous rescue voyage by Nie Yun, it finally approached the pier after running out of fuel.

A medium-sized fishing boat happened to be sailing next to it, and after approaching the Sea Wolf, there was a playful laughing sound from it.

"Look, isn't this our 'captain' Nie Yun, tsk tsk! Is this a pirate or a big fish, ahaha!"

Nie Yun looked up, and saw a dark-faced sailor with a black scarf on his head, looking at his Sea Wolf and laughing loudly.

"Baldy, don't be sarcastic, help quickly!" Nie Yun gave him a blank look and shouted.

This guy is called Liu Xiaoniu, who is two years older than Nie Yun. Because he suffered from a strange disease since he was a child, he got juvenile baldness when he was only ten years old. He was nicknamed Bald. Of course, this nickname was given by Nie Yun when he was young .

Although the two have been old enemies since childhood, they can also be regarded as best friends, and their friendship has been tested for more than ten years, and it is extremely strong!
Don't look at this guy who was still laughing at Nie Yun just now, but as soon as Nie Yun finished speaking, the bald man dropped a cable. Obviously, he was ready to come to help a long time ago. Nie Yun took the cable and began to tie it to the bow.

"Bump!" "Oops!" The bald man was still poking his head to read Nie Yun's joke, when a shudder fell from the sky.Then came a thick and rough voice behind him.

"You brat, don't go down and help!"

Then, the face of an uncle with a long beard appeared, took down the pipe dangling from his mouth, and shouted at Nie Yun: "Boy Yun, are you all right!"

"Uncle Liu, it's okay, the skin is not broken!" Nie Yun said with a grin.

This is Liu Xiaoniu's father. He watched Nie Yun grow up since he was a child. He and Nie Yun's father are sworn brothers. They take good care of Nie Yun on weekdays. When Nie Yun can't eat, Uncle Liu helps him from time to time.

The bald man jumped into Nie Yun's boat to help bail out the water with a look of reluctance, but he did it very hard.

With the help of Liu's father and son, the nearly sunken Sea Wolf finally landed.

As soon as he landed, Uncle Liu ran aboard to look at the Sea Wolf, and then frowned and asked, "Boy Yun, what's going on? Why did you make such a big hole, and what's the matter with your clothes?"

Nie Yun's vest was transparent from front to back, like a rag, but it didn't look like he was injured, which was a bit strange.

"Hey, I don't know if it's a big plane in the sky. It's okay to litter. No, the hole on the Sea Wolf was smashed! My clothes... were accidentally torn when the ship was being repaired."

Nie Yun didn't know how to explain the fact that he was hit by a meteor and was fine, so he just found a reason.

After all, it is possible to survive the catastrophe after being struck by lightning these days, and not lose a single hair after being smashed by a meteorite... It must be an alien!
"Haha! Mazu manifests! You are so unlucky, you can be hit by things falling from the sky even if you step out of the boat? It's too bad! Haha... Ouch!" I dare not say anything.

After Uncle Liu taught his son a lesson, he walked around the big hole twice, then frowned and said, "The position of the keel has been pierced, which is troublesome!"

Nie Yun asked nervously, "Is it troublesome? How much does it cost to repair?"

Ever since the old man left, the Sea Wolf was his lifeline, and when he heard Uncle Liu's words, his heart ached.

Uncle Liu shook his head: "It's not a matter of money. If the keel is broken down, even if it is repaired, the structure and stability of the ship will be damaged, and it will still leak. Unless the whole keel is replaced, this is equivalent to destroying the entire ship. The main body of the ship is completely dismantled, and the cost is higher than rebuilding one.

In other words, the Sea Wolf is probably going to be scrapped! "

When Nie Yun heard this, his brain thumped, and only the words "to be scrapped" remained in his ears.

He lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were gradually turning red. Looking at the big hole in the Sea Wolf, bits and pieces of the past ten years emerged in his mind.

The Sea Wolf is the tool he relies on for survival, it is also his home, and it is also his brother. It is now... going to be scrapped? !

The bald man fell silent when he saw this, looked at Nie Yun, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Liu.

"Boy Yun, it doesn't matter if it's scrapped. I told you a long time ago that the Sea Wolf has already passed its age. It is very dangerous to go to sea like this. Even without today's incident, it won't last for two years!

Abandon the Sea Wolf and come aboard my ship!
Before your father left, you told me to take good care of you, even if you have a stubborn temper and want to take the Sea Wolf, it’s fine now, pack up and leave with me, my place will be your home from now on! "

Uncle Liu took a deep puff of his cigarette and looked at Nie Yundao after blowing out the smoke ring.

Nie Yun didn't speak, just stared blankly at the Sea Wolf for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Uncle Liu, I want to accompany the Sea Wolf again tonight."

Uncle Liu nodded and walked out. The bald man moved his lips, but finally he could only sigh and pat Nie Yun on the shoulder.

Nie Yun sat slowly on the edge of the boat, his mind was a little confused for a while, all kinds of thoughts flooded in, some from the old man, some from the Sea Wolf...
