The sun scorched the earth and the sea mercilessly, and the time only entered June, and the city of Hongyang ushered in high temperatures.

Ao Muyang walked up to the dock and looked around casually, just like when he left his hometown five years ago, dozens of boats docked on the murky sea, mostly rafts, sampans and small fishing boats, and large boats were rare.

This small wharf is called Longwangdu, and his village is called Longtou Village, and the names of the two are closely related - according to legend, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were dragons in Ao Muyang's hometown.

The dragon soared from beneath the abyss of the deep sea and passed by the docks, leaving behind the name of 'Dragon King's Crossing'. Later, it went ashore and ascended, and the place where the dragon's head was located before the ascension became their village.

Ao Muyang just went through the big legends and stories he heard in his mind, and a small iron boat with an outboard motor docked.

As soon as the boat stopped, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old black-faced young man on the bow shouted: "Ferry, ferry, Longtou Village, Shijia Village, Qiantan Town, do you want to go?

A travel team of about a dozen people walked by, and someone asked, "Captain, how much does it cost to go to Qiantan Town?"

The young man glanced at them and said in a sullen voice, "Forty pieces each." ”

Someone else asked, "Is it so expensive?" How much does it cost to go to Wangjia Village?"

"It's still expensive, foolish! Go to Wangjia Village for a hundred yuan!" the young man left an offer, lowered his head and began to pack the cable.

The tourists heard the coping in his tone, and some people were dissatisfied, and said: "Don't think that we are easy to deceive, Wangjia Village belongs to Qiantan Town, not far from the town, why is it so bad?"

The black-faced young man said without raising his head: "If you like to sit down, anyway, go to Qiantan forty and Wangjia Village one hundred." ”

He said this very urgently, and the expressions of the people around him who were about to take the boat were difficult to see.

Ao Muyang walked up quickly, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chuan, what about going to Longtou Village?"

The young man still didn't look up, but his attitude improved, he said: "Longtou Village is cheap, only 20 yuan, and it is free to introduce the fishing family in the village, absolutely not to trick people." ”

Ao Muyang took out twenty yuan and handed it to him, sighed and said: "It's only been a few years, and prices have risen so much, when I went to Kyoto, I remember that it was still five yuan a trip." ”

The young man raised his head when he heard his words, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Fuck you, sheep, what the hell are you?

As soon as the young man appeared just now, Ao Muyang recognized it, this was his good friend in the village, named Ao Fugui, and the two grew up playing bare.

patted his buddy on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "Just came back, what day will it be in two days, I'll come back to accompany my father." ”

Hearing his words, Ao Fugui's face darkened, he opened his mouth and closed it, and finally said in a low voice: "That's okay, it's good to come back, you get on the boat quickly, let's go home." ”

Ao Muyang got on the boat, and more than a dozen people followed, all of them paid twenty yuan for the ferry fee, and also followed to Longtou Village.

After more than ten minutes, no one boarded the ship, and the rusty plug-in machine screamed, and the iron-clad ship, which looked old, sailed into the wide ocean.

When Ao Fugui came back after collecting the passengers' money, Ao Muyang asked strangely: "Our village is not far from the town, and it takes half an hour to walk from the ground, why do you charge half of the money less?"

Ao Fugui pursed his nose and smiled innocently, and said: "You don't know the sheep, in the past few years, the town and the village have been engaged in fisherman's entertainment, and there are several in our village. Save half of the money, everyone is willing to take a boat to our village, so maybe someone will stop by to eat at our village fishing house. ”

Ao Muyang understood and said, "You are still as kind-hearted as before. ”

Longwangdu is about 25 kilometers away from the wharf of Longtou Village, and the outboard motor of the iron boat is not strong enough and the speed is very slow, so it is good to run seven or eight knots, and this distance takes almost one and a half hours to complete.

Twenty-five kilometers is not a long distance, and if you walk by land, you can easily reach it in an hour, even by electric car.

However, the terrain of his hometown is very bad, and it is a rare area in China where mountains and seas are connected, and the land is full of high mountains and mountains, and many villages have no roads, so they can only travel by sea.

Looking at the traces of the continuous mountains on the shore, Ao Muyang asked: "I heard outside that there is a national project called Village Village, which is dedicated to building roads in rural areas, but there are no roads in our village?"

Ao Fugui kicked the boat board with a cigarette in his mouth, and he said sullenly: "There is no way to repair it, the government said that the cost is too great, and we have a boat ferry, and it has not been repaired." ”

Hearing this, Ao Muyang shook his head.

They can indeed ferry by boat, but every family is a broken boat, and it takes an hour and a half from the village to the dock, let alone to the city, and anyone whose child goes to school or has a headache and brain fever and wants to go to the hospital has to toss half his life.

As he chatted, he looked around and saw that there were no boats in the shallow waters nearby, only a few small sampans floating on the sea.

After more than ten minutes, a trawler with white paint appeared on the sea, and Ao Muyang said casually: "This boat is good, whose one?"

Ao Fugui glanced at the back and his color changed, and he said hatefully: "Not bad fart, it's the boat of Wangjia Village, you will run into them when you come back, it's really unlucky!"

Wangjia Village and Longtou Village are neighboring villages, and there is a lake between the two villages.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this does not apply to these two villages.

In Ao Muyang's memory, there was a feud between the two villages, and it was related to the legend he had just remembered.

It is said that before ascending, the dragon touched its head on the ground and spat a spiritual spring to the west of the land, and the spring later turned into a lake called Lake Ambergris.

At that time, many people saw it, and several families rushed over to live in this land stained with dragon energy.

Everyone wanted to live here, but the land was too small to accommodate so many families, so families fought with each other.

In the end, it was Ao Muyang's ancestors who lived on the land that had been ordered by the dragon, while the other families stayed on the east side of Longshu Lake and formed a village called Qixing Village.

After hundreds of years of development and integration, the Wang family overtook the other six to become the largest branch in the local area, and renamed the village Wangjia Village.

The two villages were originally competing for the land of Longtou Village, and then began to compete for the catch in the ambergris lake, and then for the catch in the ocean.

In this way, the struggle continued for hundreds of years and eventually turned into a feud.

Ao Fugui turned the rudder with a gloomy face and wanted to turn, but the fishing boats in Wangjia Village were coming specifically towards him. His boat was too old and shabby, and the fishing boats were new-style trawlers, with a huge difference in speed and agility, and they approached easily.

The trawler in Wangjia Village should have just been bought, the white paint on the hull is shiny, and the name of the ship is written under the side of the boat: Tu Tu Long!

The two boats approached, and a young man stood on the bow of the trawler, and when he got closer, he shouted: "Ao Fugui, you are a fool of yourself and engaged in private transportation......?

The young man scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, Ao Muyang glanced at him and interrupted him and said, "Wang Dongliang, clean your mouth, I haven't seen you for a few years, why did you go back more and more?"

This young man named Wang Dongliang is his middle school classmate, and his father is the village director of Wangjia Village, and he has a stubborn temper since he was a child.

When he was in school, he was jealous of Ao Muyang's good grades and popularity, and he often went to find trouble, but as long as he didn't have too many helpers, he would be cleaned up miserably every time.

Hearing his words, Wang Dongliang was stunned, he looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Ouch, who is this? By the way, you haven't seen your parents in years, where have they gone?"

This was said very ugly, and Ao Fugui's face next to him changed greatly, and he reached out and picked up the harpoon on the bow of the boat and roared: "X of the grass mud horse, grandson, I will kill you!"

Ao Muyang was even more angry in his heart, if Wang Dongliang dared to say this face-to-face, he would definitely beat him and he wouldn't even recognize his mother.

But now they can't do it, and the other party's trawlers are a meter or two higher than theirs, and there are more people on board, so anger doesn't help.

Suppressing his anger, he pressed Ao Fugui's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Just listen to the dog barking and clean him up later." ”

Wang Dongliang saw that Ao Muyang was not angry, and seemed to feel that it was not interesting, so he returned to the cockpit to personally control the rudder, and shouted lazily: "Sit down, let's go......"

The trawler slowly accelerated and left with the tin boat, but just as their bow approached, the bow of the fishing boat suddenly turned slightly and hit the bow of the tin boat!

The stability of the iron boat was not good, and it shook violently after being hit, Ao Muyang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, did not stand firmly, his body staggered, and his head hit the harpoon raised by Ao Fugui next to him, and his forehead was cut with a big hole!

Feeling only a sharp pain, Ao Muyang subconsciously covered his head. But just then, the fishing boat hit the tin boat again!

This time, the iron boat shook even more, and the passengers on the boat were hit and staggered, and Ao Muyang didn't stand firm in the pain on his forehead, and fell into the sea water all of a sudden.

He didn't panic after falling into the sea, which fisherman's child who grew up by the sea was not proficient in water since he was a child?

In addition, Ao Fugui, who was standing beside him just now, jumped down, reached out and grabbed his arm, trying to pull him out of the water.

But at this moment, a golden light vaguely appeared in Ao Muyang's field of vision!

The golden light was only the size of a thumb's belly, and the light was soft, like a firefly. It swam quickly in the seawater, with a chaotic trajectory, and finally crashed into Ao Fugui's back all at once.

Then, something happened to Ao Muyang's surprise, this golden light actually passed through Ao Fugui's body, and it hit him at an extremely fast speed, hitting the injured place in the middle of his forehead!

Just as he wondered what the golden light was, his brain suddenly felt like an electric shock, and then he was horrified to find that he could no longer control his body.

In addition, what frightened him even more was that his body could no longer feel buoyancy and sank to the bottom of the sea like a piece of iron......
