Yu Xiaotong is an ordinary farmer in Linhai City. The farmer's profession is a very inconspicuous existence on the coast, after all, relying on the sea to eat the sea, fishermen are a more common choice, but Yu Xiaotong is not good, he was born without this fate.

He was afraid of water.

It's funny, a child born on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, a child born to a family whose ancestors have lived by the sea for generations, can be afraid of water.

Shame on Yu Xiaotong's grandfather wanted to throw him away when he first found out about this problem, throw him into the sea, let him fend for himself, keep it if he survived, and die when he died, it was really a shame for the Yu family to have such a child.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaotong's mother desperately protected him, so that he survived, and he opened up a piece of farmland at the foot of the mountain behind Yujiawan, and mixed with many peasant women to do farm work.

He planted a lot of vegetables, but also planted a lot of fruit trees, rice is also very common here, he is very hard-working, willing to endure hardships, the vegetable field and rice growth is always the best in Yujiawan, but this skill is not too important here.

Yujiawan is a calm natural harbor near the sea, most of the people here are surnamed Yu, and they are relatives around the corner, and the upper three generations are relatives within five suits. The ancestors of the Yu family chose a good place to spread their branches, since the ancestors chose this place to take root and settle down, isn't it natural for the children and grandchildren of the Yu family to eat sea rice?

Yu Xiaotong is the outlier of Yujiawan.

He didn't want to do this, his friends set sail early, he could only watch from the beach, watching everyone return with a bronzed and salty taste, and described the beautiful scenery on the sea with him vividly, but he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

The weirdest problem is that although he has never been out to sea, even if he is just standing on the reef by the sea, he will feel dizzy and terrified. But the scenery of the sea, beautiful, magnificent, dangerous, and fatal, were all imprinted in his mind, like a knife and an axe.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the magnificent sunrise and sunset on the sea were in front of his eyes, the spectacle of a group of dolphins jumping out of the sea, and the dark clouds hanging low into the sea when the wind and rain were about to come.

Yu Xiaotong dug into the soil with a hoe and a hoe, wanting to forget these overwhelming sea wonders in his mind, those scenes that he had obviously not been to, but were familiar with the same scene, the hoe was deep in the soil, but he felt that the anchor sank into the unfathomable sea, until the strength of his whole body was consumed, he stopped, closed his eyes and rested against a fruit tree next to the vegetable field.

It would be nice to be able to move here. Yu Xiaotong thought this more than once, he felt that it was too depressing at home, only here was he freer, only here he dared to breathe loudly, only here he could cry if he wanted to laugh, sit down when he wanted to, lie down when he wanted to lie down.

No one gave him a look, no one gave him white eyes, no one disliked him for being afraid of water. Every grass and tree, every leaf and every flower here is planted by him with a hoe, he likes it here, if it weren't for the old lady, he would have really settled here. The old lady suffered a lot of white eyes for him at home, and in order to protect him, she was not less angry with her in-laws.

The eldest lady of the Yu family is most worried about this child, she raised three sons, Yu Xiaotong is the youngest one, they all say that the people love the child, but this child is the white eyes of the whole family, the child is the mother's heart, when the whole family dislikes him, only the aunt of the Yu family protects him. It's just that the aunt of the Yu family is also anxious, and when she looks back and says that she is married, which girl is willing to marry?

Every morning, Yu Xiaotong went out with his companions, and when he left the village, he divided into two groups, he walked alone into the mountains, and the other partners ran to the wide ocean.

Under the mountain, there are the crops he planted and the home of his soul. For Yujiawan, you can't go to sea, you can only farm, which is a sign of no profit. The girls will also look down on such a young man, he can only be lonely in the eyes of everyone, lonely to the mountains.

In this small place of Yujiawan, people's lives are like this: birth, growth, learning to go to sea to fish, getting married, having children, and continuing to teach children to go to sea to fish. From generation to generation, it goes on and on.

Only Yu Xiaotong is farming alone.

In the evening, Yu Xiaotong walked out of the mountain, but saw a woman standing in the middle of the road with a loveless face, as if she was lost.

"This eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaotong walked over, stopped three steps away from her, and asked cautiously.

"I... I don't know. She was very confused and said that she seemed to remember that she had found a place to commit suicide, many places near the sea were very suitable for suicide, it was easy to find a natural place to sleep, those turbulent waves, those towering and sharp reefs, could make a person leave this world quietly.

She didn't know how she was here, she was still in that strange pharmacy just now, and the strange man made a deal with her, and there was a fairy cat in the store, and a girl with a gentle smile.

Then she walked out of the alley, and here she was. She didn't know it, it looked very desolate, very rural.

"I feel like I'm lost. Xie Xiaoyun said.

Yu Xiaotong kept a certain distance, for fear of scaring Xie Xiaoyun: "This is Yujiawan, a fishing village, where are you going?" "Xie Xiaoyun can't tell him that he wants to die.

"I just wanted to go to the beach, and I don't know how I got here. Xie Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, so Xiaoxiao, did they send themselves to the suburbs? Speaking of which, she couldn't remember the faces of those people very clearly.

"I can take you to the beach. Yu Xiaotong said kindly, there is no village before and there is no store after that, although this woman looks not young, but after all, she is still a lonely man and a widow, and it is inevitable that she is worried about the suspicion of melon fields and plums, so he paid great attention to leaving a few distances from this eldest sister.

Xie Xiaoyun didn't notice Yu Xiaotong's actions, there were too many things in her heart to figure out, her purpose of coming to the beach seemed to have failed, she remembered that she should have gone to the sea somewhere.

So, is it going to go down again?

Xie Xiaoyun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Yu Xiaotong: "Please lead the way, I still want to go to the beach." ”

Yu Xiaotong nodded, he has been farming all year round, and he is also tanned all over his body, but his bronze color is less than the taste of seawater compared with his friends.
