Chapter 51: A Small Island Fishing Village

Penghe Islands, Fenglaiyu Fisherman Village, here is a small fishing village, the whole village has more than 100 households, and every family has been fishermen for generations. Typhoon No. 25 passed over the Penghe Islands last night, but today the leeward waters to the south are areas where there are large catches.

In the early morning, there is a family in the small fishing village but it is earlier than other fishermen, this fisherman is called Zhang Houde, his wife Lin Zhaodi, there is a 70-year-old mother, there is a pair of children under the knees, the daughter is the eldest, this year is 16 years old, the little girl is named "Zhang Ruifen", the little girl has grown slim, a little slender, Zhang Ruifen has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, knowing that her parents went to sea early in the morning, and she got up to make breakfast for her parents just after dawn.

"Abba, I'll go home and help after I finish middle school this year, okay?" said the little girl very considerately.

"No! You don't go to high school anymore? Don't you want to go to college across the sea in the future?" Zhang Houde was a little angry after listening to his daughter's words.

The adults say that the other side of the sea is Huaguo, and that the roots of the whole Ryukyus are in the vast land on the other side, so Zhang Ruifen is very yearning for the other side of the sea. And in recent years, I have always heard that the living conditions of people on the mainland opposite are getting better and better, and many cities on the mainland have now caught up with the largest city in the Ryukyus, Mosaki, and this little girl is even more looking forward to going to the mainland to study at a university or even work.

Zhang Ruifen said with some twists, "Abba, it takes a lot of money to go to high school, and if I don't go to high school, you can save a lot of money." Our fishing boat should have been changed a long time ago, or every time the village went out to sea to fish, our family would always have to leave early...... You and grandma are working hard......"

The people in the small fishing village have always been industrious and simple, and Zhang Houde is even more so, after listening to his daughter's words, the couple were silent for a while, and Zhang Houde's wife secretly wiped her eyes.

"Xiaofen! Making money is an adult's business, you just need to read the book well, Abba will find a way, in fact, our fishing boat was just overhauled at the beginning of the month, and now it is easy to use, today I see Abba towing a boatload of fish back for you, do we want to bet, hehe!" Zhang Houde stretched out his big hand full of calluses, hung up the little nose of his daughter in front of him, and pretended to be relaxed.

......

After breakfast, Zhang Houde and his wife came to the beach, and the fishing village was full of fishing boats, one by one, and the rows were a little spectacular. Each fishing boat is basically more than ten meters long, and some are even fifty or sixty meters long, most of them are semi-new and old, and there are many new boats. But there is a fishing boat less than ten meters away, full of iron patches of old fishing boats, that is Zhang Houde's small fishing boat, and it is their family's biggest property, as soon as the sea breeze passes, this dilapidated small fishing boat is blown left and right, and it looks very unobtrusive in the fishing boats.

Zhang Houde was about to lift the anchor, but his wife, who was standing at the bow of the boat, let out a very sudden and startled cry, "Ade! Hurry! Come and see! There is a person there?!"

Zhang Houde hurriedly put down the anchor chain in his hand and rushed to the bow of the boat, only to see a person floating on the sea not far away, swayed by the waves, and from time to time with the waves hitting the bottom of another big fishing boat.

"What a person! The pants were washed away by the sea, it should be dead, maybe it was a typhoon yesterday, alas!" Zhang Houde felt compassion, but he was not too surprised, because their fishing village is close to the periphery of the Penghe Islands, and in the event of a shipwreck like this, ship wrecks and deaths occasionally occur, and the island of Fenglaiyu is located in a gulf stream in the Ryukyu Strait, so it is not uncommon for corpses to be brought over by the swirling sea.

"Ade, then let's pack this person ashore and report to the village chief," Zhang Houde's wife's tone was full of compassion.

"Hmm!"

People die greatly, the tradition of China, the simple Zhang Houde and his wife did not complain much, especially Zhang Houde personally jumped into the sea and carefully carried the "corpse" ashore.

The woman saw the "corpse" held by her man, her eyes were full of sympathy, and then she saw that this person was very young, although she was soaked in the sea water and her face was pale, and even a little swollen, but the somewhat delicate facial features showed that the young man's appearance was still very good, and the husband and wife were full of regret.

Zhang Houde put the person down and lay flat on the beach, wasn't he dazzled? He seemed to feel a slight float in the chest of this "corpse".

"Huh?" Zhang Houde hurriedly pressed his hand on the man's chest, it was indeed a little warm, and it was not obvious in the sea just now. Zhang Houde immediately touched the carotid artery blood vessels in the man's neck with his other hand, and there was really a slight tremor, "Not dead yet!"

Zhang Houde was a little excited, and hurriedly began to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation on this person, the old fisherman knew the general first aid method for the drowning person, and after pressing on the chest for a while, Zhang Houde didn't care, and even did mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.

"Poof!" The "corpse" lying on the beach convulsed all over his body, and then spat out a large mouthful of seawater, followed by a violent rise and fall of his chest and abdomen, "Uh!" and then spit out a large pool of seawater, and even some algae and other filth.

This person is really alive, his closed eyes slowly began to open, but his eyes were full of a dusk look, this person who "came back to life" was none other than Zuo Feng.

About two hours ago, close to dawn, because he used all his physical strength to save Huang Jianjian, he fainted and was swept away by the waves. In the final consciousness, he reflexively forced out the last trace of internal force to close the important acupoints on his body, so that the body was temporarily in a state of turtle breathing, and this function was also cultivated because of long-term meditation.

It was this natural move that gave Zuo Feng an extra chance to be saved, however, because this experience was indeed nine deaths, and it was too intense, at present, he caused Zuo Feng to "amnesia" again because of multiple collision injuries on his body and head, and his "intermittent amnesia" began to blame again.

"Ahem, cough ......" After spitting, Zuo Feng was now coughing violently, his head was chaotic, and his whole body was in pain, the violent feeling twitched his nerves, and the muscles on his face began to twist.

Zhang Houde saw that this person was finally "returning to yang", and now his breathing was slowly becoming smoother, he waved his hand in front of Zuo Feng's eyes and asked, "Hey, little brother, can you speak? Do you know why you fell into the sea?"

With a terrible headache, Zuo Feng held his head and tried to recall the past, but he didn't have any impression, and he didn't answer the "life-saving benefactor" question, so he could only shake his head incessantly.

"Ade, don't ask, he just woke up, he is covered with injuries, it must be very hard now, let's send him home first, shall we?" Zhang Houde's wife, Lin Zhaodi, said with some reluctance.

"Hey, I can only do this first, so let's carry him home, you go and inform the village chief, and say that we have just rescued a person in the sea, and let him come to the house to register." ”

"Hey, I'll go!"

The husband and wife had a good division of labor, and Zuo Feng was carried home by Zhang Houde to settle down.
