Section 619: Big Fish of the Sea
Chinese Some of the thunder in the middle of the night hit the island, some fell on the sea, and it sounded all night, until the thunder stopped at dawn, and soon there was a noise on the sea, and it sounded very lively with gongs and drums.
Mu Sheng and Nangong Yuhuan also finished their practice, Nangong Yuhuan took the residence with a wave of his hand, and the two went to the inn to find Wu Fa and Lan Ying'er first.
Unexpectedly, Su He had already arrived, and was chatting with the two of them, and a few people living in the inn also walked out of the room, talking about something one after another.
Mu Sheng smiled and asked, "What's the matter, it's so lively here?"
"You are really calm, this will just come, it seems that it was worth a thousand gold last night, and the thunder can't wake up the people in the tent no matter how much you think about it!" Wu Fa teased, of course, he said this to avoid Nangong Yuhuan, otherwise he was afraid that this little girl would be annoyed and angry.
"What are you talking about? I think I'm just like you, senior brother, I have the opposite sex and no humanity, and I don't come, naturally I know that there is nothing serious, and it's not too late to come back this morning to find out. Mu Sheng scolded with a smile.
"What are you two brothers talking about, so lively?" Nangong Yuhuan finished greeting Lan Ying'er, and couldn't help but ask when she saw the two chatting energetically.
"Didn't say anything, were you talking about last night?" replied Mu Sheng solemnly.
"I've heard that the giants of Longbo Island hunted a lot of big fish last night, so why don't we go to the docks and have a look. Lan Ying'er said.
"Okay, okay, I like to watch the excitement the most. Nangong Yuhuan clapped his hands and said. After saying that, the five of them left the inn and walked towards the center of the island.
Lan Ying'er said: "The thunder on the island last night was really loud enough, I thought something happened, was Su He's divination fulfilled? ”
"No, I think Su He's calculations are quite accurate, the time and things are exactly the same, it can't be so accurate by coincidence, right?" Nangong Yuhuan supported Su He and smiled at Su He.
Su He smiled back a little shyly and didn't say anything. Lan Ying'er nodded and continued: "I also think it's too coincidental, and when I saw that in addition to the thunder on the sea, there seemed to be the sound of whirring and fighting, so I asked what's the matter?" The boss said: "This is the hunting behavior of the giants of this island, and the local natives will go out to sea to fish every thunderstorm, which is real fishing rather than fishing or net fishing." When I wondered what the boss meant by this, the boss said, "Every time there is a thunderstorm, the big whale under the surface of the sea will surface and spit water, and accept the thunderbolt, as if it is also practicing the calamity like a human being, and the giants on the island will go out to sea to hunt whales and fight with whales." As soon as the whale's body is out of the water, dozens of giants will cooperate with each other, up and down in the air or on the sea, some set fire, some put magic weapons, scolding and fighting, fighting together, until they hunt big fish. You can go to the dock the next day and watch the big fish come back. "I was thinking of calling you, but I didn't think you would come, but I happened to go and see the big fish they hunted. "Although Longbo Island is big, there is only one pier, but it happens to be in the southwest, not too far from the inn, Mu Sheng is a little hesitant, I don't know whether to follow the pier to see the excitement, or go to the center of the island to find someone to come to build a house.
Nangong Yuhuan saw Mu Sheng's thoughts and said, "Brother Mu, I'm not in a hurry at this meeting, let's go and see it with everyone." Seeing Nangong Yuhuan say this, Mu Sheng walked to the dock with everyone, at this time the dock was already full of people, on both sides were idlers watching the excitement, and a way was made in the middle, several big ships came from the sea, the hull was huge, all of them were three- to five-story building ships, raising the sails, the sea breeze puffed the sails into a hemispherical shape, and the horsepower was full of horsepower to the shore.
Mu Sheng's sharp eyes only saw that the sea water behind the boat was red, and the big whale was dragged with a rope behind it, and the red was dyed by the whale's blood.
Mu Sheng looked at it, and five building boats dragged ten big whales, and each building boat caught two on average, and the harvest was not abundant.
Judging from the size of the whale just from the surface of the sea, it already looks extremely huge, each of them is the size of a building ship, and Mu Sheng estimates that these ten big whales weigh dozens of tons.
Seeing the boat getting closer and closer, the people watching on the shore at the same time let out bursts of cheers resounding through the heavens and the earth, as if they also had their share of killing whales, the giants of Longbo Island on the deck of the building boat stood majestically, holding harpoons and other things in their hands with murderous spirit, and the leader was more than four meters high, so not majestic.
There were already indigenous children running from the shore to the dock, waving their hands at the boat and shouting: "Grandpa, grandpa." Seeing this, the giant's face softened, and he smiled and waved to the children who were running.
Nangong Yuhuan was stunned for a moment and asked: "This person doesn't look big, he has become a grandfather, I think he is also a person who is a double cultivator of body and spirit, and he deliberately maintains his appearance, right?" Lan Ying'er sneered and said, "I forgot to tell my sister, people here call Grandpa when they call Daddy." The dad who calls dad is called grandpa. Nangong Yuhuan couldn't help but smile when he heard it: "What are you doing, such a name is so funny." ”
"There are local customs in different places, and it's good to get used to them. Lan Ying'er said. While the two were talking, the boat had already docked, the people on the boat threw off the iron anchor, and the people on the dock hurriedly picked up the big stone tied to the shore.
The giants all got off the boat, and the big whales dragged behind the boat were left unattended for the time being. The incense table has already been set up on the shore, the incense burner is lit, a giant of Longbo Island wears a crown, and a pair of long pheasant feathers are inserted in the crown, and his face is painted with various colors, and a flower cloth apron is tied around his waist, which is embroidered with various rune patterns, and a string of copper bells is tied around his waist, and copper bells are also tied to his feet and ankles.
Wu Fa said: "This is the local custom, every time you go out to sea to fish, you have to pay the gods after you come back. At the head of this is the priest of the festival. As he spoke, the priest began to dance, holding a bell in one hand and a flag in the other, babbling and not knowing what he was singing.
The giants who returned from the sea danced behind him to his rhythm. The dance is rough and wild, not good-looking, but there is a kind of primitive masculine power in it, which makes people can't help but be enthusiastic and want to dance with it.
After dancing for a while, the priest led the people to the ground, lit incense in the censer, and the giants who had come down from the ship returned to the ship.
