"Liu Erniu, you can return to the team. I'll convey your respect to the Old Gang Leader."
Chu Ge comforted Liu Erniu.
Liu Erniu gratefully glanced at Chu Ge, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

The Old Gang Leader followed the fisherman out to sea. He disembarked near Gourd Island. The fishermen here are very simple and honest; they believed him when he casually lied that he was from the barracks.
So, the Old Gang Leader hitched a ride on a boat without much effort.
The Old Gang Leader found it strange. It was early morning, and the sun had not risen above the horizon yet. Even if the weather was poor, it shouldn't be that while everywhere else at sea was clear, around Gourd Island, it was foggy.
As he disembarked, one fisherman said to him, "Be careful, I've heard there are many strange phenomena on Gourd Island."
