After being pulled up with other stinky fish and rotten shrimp, the first thing Yang Xuan saw was an old man with a furrow face.

Next to the old man was a young man as swarthy as he was.

"Hmm, Uncle He, you see, this fish is so beautiful. The young man looked at Yang Xuan curiously and praised.

However, no matter how Yang Xuan looked at it, he felt that his eyes flashed with the words braised or stewed.

Uncle He looked at Yang Xuan and said, "This is a koi, legend has it that seeing a koi can make good luck." Find a bucket, put it in, and take it back to keep it. ”

The young man answered, found a big bucket, filled it with water, and threw Yang Xuan into it.

Poof!

The water splashed the young man's face.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to eat you now. The young man glared at Yang Xuan and said fiercely, he felt that Yang Xuan was deliberate.

Yang Xuan flicked his tail angrily, in fact, Yang Xuan really did it on purpose, as a koi, dignity is very important.

The fishing boats moved closer to land.

On the way, Yang Xuan learned that this young man's name was Zhou Tie, who was Uncle He's son and nephew, and had followed Uncle He to make a living at sea since he was a child.

After a few days, I returned to a small fishing village.

The wooden barrel that held Yang Xuan was taken down by Zhou Tie, and the first thing Yang Xuan saw was amazing poverty.

Rows of tattered thatched huts, with wooden supports, seemed to fall when the wind blew.

Ragged women, children, and fishermen like Uncle He Zhou Tie make up the whole picture of this small fishing village by the sea.

"Uncle He is back. The people in the village greeted Uncle He, but they were weak.

This means that they have not had a full meal in a long time.

Yang Xuan thought of the number of fish on the boat, and felt strange in his heart.

Don't say anything else, just say that these fish that Uncle He hunted, I'm afraid that everyone can have a few meals.

But then he understood what was going on.

Seven or eight strong men surrounded him from a distance, ignoring Uncle He and Zhou Tie at all, just jumping on the fishing boat on their own, commanding the people, and throwing all the fish on the deck into a large trolley, leaving only some small fish.

At first, Yang Xuan thought that they would give money, but it seemed that they didn't mean it, and after loading the fish, they walked away.

Zhou Tie's eyes were on fire, and he slammed the wooden bucket to the ground, spilling half a bucket of water, almost knocking Yang Xuan out.

"These vampires deserve thunder and thunder. Zhou Tie cursed.

"Don't say a word, have you forgotten how your second uncle died?" Uncle He scolded on the side.

Zhou Tie was silent, but hatred flashed in his eyes.

Yang Xuan understood, and sighed at the same time.

No matter in that world, the law of the jungle is an eternal truth.

It is true that if you are weak, you will be beaten.

After packing up the remaining small fish and shrimp into the thatched house, Zhou Tie brought Yang Xuan in again.

If I had to describe the furnishings in this room, I am afraid it can only be described as the four walls of the house.

It really has four walls, except for the walls, except for a rotten bed made of wood and a large cauldron, there really seems to be nothing else.

It was hard for Yang Xuan to imagine how they survived.

In addition to these, Yang Xuan also saw a woman strangely, although she was not very beautiful, she was still the same ragged, but she also had good facial features.

However, he is still yellow and thin, and he has a vegetable face.

From the conversation, I learned that it was Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law.

I stewed a pot of fish soup with the leftover fish, and after the three of them ate it, it seemed that there were not many fish caught from going out to sea this time, maybe only enough to eat again tomorrow.

"Uncle He, we worked hard to go to sea, but they didn't get it for nothing, why?" After eating, Zhou Tie said hatefully.

The woman was tidying up, in fact, there was nothing to tidy up, nothing more than washing a few broken dishes.

Uncle He sighed and said, "What can be done, they have guns in their hands, our lives are not worth anything, what can we do?"

Zhou Tie sighed and didn't say anything.

He didn't know why, and he just couldn't get angry when he asked like this.

After that, Uncle He went to the next room to rest, and the three of them didn't talk all night.

At dawn the next day, there was a commotion in the village.

"All out, all out. A loud voice shouted.

At this time, Yang Xuan happened to be carried outside the house by Zhou Tie.

After a while, more than two dozen people in the village were gathered on the beach not far from Yang Xuan.

It was still yesterday that the big men, after they searched the crowd for a while, they pulled Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law out.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Tie asked in surprise, but he didn't have the hatred of last night, but instead became submissive and leaned back.

A big man kicked Zhou Tie to the ground and said viciously: "The foreign lord wants to recruit comfort women, and your daughter-in-law is not bad, so go to the city to be a comfort woman." ”

Zhou Tie got up from the ground, his eyes were round, and his voice was much louder: "This ...... This is not possible. ”

The big man kicked again, Zhou Tie didn't dare to resist at all, and fell to the ground again.

"Malegobi, Lao Tzu has taken a fancy to your daughter-in-law, you are lucky, give it to you, this is ten yuan, take it and get out of here. ”

A ten-yuan steel hammer was thrown in front of Zhou Tie, and Zhou Tie's face became extremely exciting.

No one around dared to gnaw, and they all turned their heads.

After a while, Uncle He said in a low voice: "Xiao Tie, take it!"

Zhou Tie didn't move, he just looked at his daughter-in-law in a daze.

Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law was still very plain, and she also looked at Zhou Tie.

After a while, Zhou Tie asked in a snort, "...... you Would you like to go?"

A hint of mockery appeared in Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law's eyes, turned her head over, and said lightly: "I am willing." ”

Zhou Tie was silent, and after a long time, he asked again: "Why?"

"Because I want to live!" Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law didn't look back, but said lightly.

When Zhou Tie heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he became numb.

He knelt on the ground, slowly picked up the ten yuan on the ground, held it in the palm of his hand, and clutched it very tightly, very tightly.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I...... I want to live too!" he muttered with his head down.

Stay alive!

Particularly simple, but very heavy three words.

The world is crowded, who is not trying to live?

Yang Xuan withdrew the ultrasonic wave that he was about to emit, and he was surprised to see that from Zhou Tie, from Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law, and even from He Lao, from those numb villagers, there was an inexplicable emanation of a strange aura.

That seems to be the meaning of the Tao!

At this moment, Yang Xuan remembered the question of coming to the east again.

What is the Tao?

What is the Tao? Yang Xuan kept repeating these three words.

What is Tao?

At this moment, he keenly felt that the question asked from Xiang Donglai's mouth seemed to have surpassed the martial arts itself, and what he asked was not the way of martial arts, not the way of entering the Tao, but the ......

Yang Xuan couldn't speak, he didn't understand, in front of him was a thick and incomparably thick fog.

Zhou Tie's daughter-in-law was taken away, Zhou Tie put away ten yuan and continued his life of fishing, in the village, it seemed that nothing had happened, and everything seemed so peaceful.

The only thing that has changed is Yang Xuan.

One night, he jumped out of the bucket and jumped back into the sea.

I don't know if the counting octopus is dead.

As the sea enveloped him, he thought about it.
