Life at sea has never been a pleasant enjoyment, and since ancient times, fishermen have lived a life of half drowning in water, and they may lose their lives in an accident.

Even if there is no danger, it is very difficult to make a living at sea, and it is often necessary to go out to sea in the early morning and return at midnight.

In the evening, Ao Zhiyi came again and told Ao Muyang the time to go to sea, and the time he stayed was two o'clock in the morning and he had to leave early.

This point is nothing for Ao Muyang, who worked as a chef in Kyoto, often getting up at two or three o'clock to serve the fire and prepare breakfast for hotel customers.

But after returning home, he didn't want to suffer this crime, so he said to Ao Zhiyi: "It's too early, I can't get up here, five o'clock, I'm willing to follow the boat when I go to sea at five o'clock." ”

Ao Zhiyi immediately shook his head: "Five o'clock? The sky is bright! As the old saying goes, the early bird will have worms, and we won't go to sea until five o'clock, can we eat a ball?"

Ao Muyang said slowly: "I have been going to sea for the past few days, and it is noon or even afternoon. Whether you have a harvest or not has little to do with whether you go to sea sooner or later. ”

Ao Zhiyi could only compromise, he just knew that Ao Muyang wanted to take him on board every time he went to sea to gain something.

He got up at half-past four in the morning to wash up and find the general staring at the fish pond licking his mouth.

Seeing this, he hurriedly went over to take a look, and found that there seemed to be a few lobsters missing, so he patted the general's head and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat what's inside, if you hear it?

The general wagged his tail and looked innocent.

Armed with a fishing net and a fishing rod, he and the general got into the fishing boat.

Ao Zhiyi's family owns the best fishing boat in the village, which is a mechanical trawler with a very old name, called 'Longtou'.

The tonnage of this ship was 200 tons, and it was able to enter the deeper seas, and the harvest was the best in the village, and many people in the village were counting on going to sea with his ship to make some money.

His ability to sit on the throne of the village chief has a lot to do with this ship.

Ao Muyang got on the boat slowly, and his uncle in the village, Ao Qianqi, gave a thumbs up and said: "You have the ability, I have been on the boat with the village chief for several years, and I slept until dawn for the first time before getting on the boat." ”

The morning sun has risen into the sky, and the color has not yet turned golden, but a brilliant orange-red, and the same color of light is sprinkled on the ocean, and the water is reflected red, and the waves are rolling, like red silk undulating.

Listening to Ao Qianqi's words, Ao Muyang smiled and didn't answer, he pointed to the sea and said, "What a beautiful sea, what a beautiful morning." ”

The general pulled on the side of the ship and looked down, his mouth open to face the sea breeze and stick out his tongue, and the white hair on his head was blown and swayed in the hunt.

Ao Zhiyi came out of the cockpit and saw him with the dog, and suddenly became anxious: "Why did you still bring the dog up? Damn, don't let it go into the water." ”

According to the customs of fishermen, it is unlucky to see dogs, snakes or rats swimming by the sea and boats, as well as wild ducks and wild fowl flying by the fishing boat in the morning.

Ao Muyang knew these customs, he hugged the general and nodded in agreement, so that the dragon head was launched and went to sea.

The fishing boat drove out not far away, Ao Muyang heard someone shouting, he looked back and found that it was Ao Xiaoniu who was shouting and chasing, chasing until he reached the dock, jumped off the dock and still swam and chased.

Seeing this, he said to Ao Qianqi, who was driving the boat: "Uncle Qianqi, turn around and go back to see what's going on." ”

As the captain, Ao Zhiyi was dissatisfied and said, "What are you going to do when you go back?"

Ao Muyang dragged the general and said, "Then I'll jump off by myself." ”

Ao Zhiyi was counting on him to come to find the catch, but at this time, he had to say impatiently: "Okay, okay, go back and see what's going on." ”

The fishing boat began to circle around the sea, did not turn around directly, not that the fishing boat is too big to turn around, but the fisherman has customs, if the boat wants to turn back in the morning, it cannot immediately turn the bow of the boat, and must go around the road and shake back, which means that "good people do not go back".

Ao Xiaoniu also knew this custom, and when he saw the fishing boat start to make a circle, he swam back to the dock.

After the fishing boat went back, Ao Muyang asked, "What's wrong?"

Ao Xiaoniu snorted: "Uncle Yang, how do you raise the shrimp in your pond?" I just went to your house and locked the door, and I don't have the key. Also, also, be careful when you go to sea......"

The last words are the point, Ao Muyang understands, because of his father's business, this kid is a little afraid of going to sea.

The key to the house was carried by him, after all, there were some splendid lobsters in the fish pond, and he had to prevent someone from stealing them.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, little calf, Uncle will definitely come back safely." Leave those shrimp alone for now, go and play with your friends. ”

Ao Xiaoniu nodded, took out a Guanyin pendant from his pocket that was very rough at first glance and handed it to him, and said, "Uncle Yang, this is the Bodhisattva that my mother asked me for, you wear it first, she will bless you." ”

Ao Muyang took it and put it on his neck, and Ao Xiaoniu suddenly grinned.

Ao Zhiyi was about to cry: "Paralysis, is this a broken thing?"

He drove the boat in a rage, and the fishing boat accelerated, farther and farther away.

Ao Muyang looked back, and Ao Xiaoniu had been standing on the dock.

The general followed for a moment, and soon its attention was drawn to the duck cage at the stern of the ship, and it ran over and wagged its tail to look.

Ao Zhiyi was startled when he saw it, and shouted: "Yangzai, you are optimistic about your dog, if it moves my duck, I will burn it and drink!"

Ao Muyang whistled to call back the general, this time he didn't care about Ao Zhiyi's words, because the duck in the stern of the boat is really important.

This is also a kind of fisherman's custom, fishermen think that ducks 'have tails', ducks are auspicious, can be incense continuously, and because of the homonym of 'duck' 'pressure', so they like to keep in the stern, in order to press the stern.

Ao Zhiyi's boat of ducks has been raised for many years, they are all old ducks, equivalent to his mascot and lucky charm, if he really bites the general to death, then he will definitely have to fight hard with Ao Muyang.

When the fishing boat entered the sea, Ao Zhiyi gave the rudder to Ao Qianqi and said, "Yangzai, come and see, where can we put the net?

Ao Muyang patted his forehead helplessly and said, "Village chief, why are you so superstitious?

In the past, fishermen paid attention to the harvest of the first net, such as catching a carp, calling the carp to jump the dragon gate, and if a black fish was caught, it was thought that the Kuroshio was behind.

The so-called "Kuroshio" is a large school of fish, when a large number of fish gather together and appear underwater, the surface of the water looks black, the fish swim, and the black water surface surges, this is the Kuroshio.

But at that time, there were many fish in the sea, and there must have been a harvest in the first net, so there was a lot of attention, and now there may be no harvest in several nets in a row, so what's the point of paying attention to so much?

Ao Zhiyi said with a serious face: "How can this be said to be superstition? Don't talk nonsense, Yangzai, you go to work, listen to the ancestors, your parents, cough cough work hard, work hard......"

Ao Muyang didn't answer, he asked for a kayak to put down, and wandered around with his oars.

Ao Zhiyi couldn't put his hope on him alone, and he also knew that eggs couldn't be completely put in one basket, so he drove the other people on the boat into the sea to find fish.

Away from the fishing boat, Ao Muyang plunged into the water, condensing the water vapor with Jindan while checking the underwater situation.
