When people look back later on that "turbulent history" of the country, many times they focus only on the turmoil itself, ignoring many other things that grew during this period.

Imagine when a large number of departments and institutions are destroyed, lose their function and effectiveness, and when the majority are lost...... What are the remaining places and people who have lost their binding force?

So it was actually an era when marginalized people went "astray", an era of recklessness...... Coastal outward, dragons and snakes rise together.

In fact, until the late '70s and early '80s, this chaos was not effectively contained.

In the early 80s, a small fishing village on the coast of Huthien province.

The 27-year-old has not yet learned to draw his own name, nor does he have a wife or children.

There is an old man, only an old lady. And his father, as early as when he was thirteen years old, stayed with the family's small fishing boat, in the ocean of gratitude, fear and hatred of the people who had "begged for the sea" for generations.

Hu Biao was a child who grew up wrestling on gravel beaches and mudflats, and for a long time he knew that there were fish and shrimp in the sea, that there was a father, and that was it.

From the age of thirteen when he had to go to sea with his neighbor's uncle, to the age of sixteen when he was able to sail and fish independently, to the age of eighteen, the neighbor helped him build his first fishing boat, until he was 27 years old......

Hu Biaojie is already recognized as the most powerful sea-begging person in this village.

He was never sick. They capsized the boat, but they all survived. Every day, his cabin is full of fish and shrimp, but these do not bring any wealth except for subsistence. The small fishing village is so remote that the traders who come here to buy the catch are like emperors.

It was a winter night, Hu Biaoying collected two yuan, sold a cabin full of fish, bought three cents of cigarettes, sat in the yard in thin clothes and smoked, and talked to the old lady in the house whose eyes could no longer see clearly.

The sound of cars is rarely heard in the small fishing village, and Rotten Haichen appeared at the gate of his dilapidated courtyard in a tattered and painted car, wearing ill-fitting leather shoes and a suit.

"You're Hu Biaojie?"

"Well, yes. Something?"

Rotten Sea Chen smiled and said, "I want to ask you to help me go to sea." ”

The people of the fishing village are used to helping each other, and occasionally someone's fishing boat does not come back, and the woman brings the child to invite him, and Hu Biaoying will help find it even if it is dark, even if there is wind and waves, so he asked, "Now?"

Rotten Haichen raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "Five hours later, around one o'clock in the morning, my people will come and call you." ”

"Oh, that's not the rush. Hu Biaoding said: "I won't go if I'm not in a hurry, today is ......" He looked up at the night sky and kindly reminded: "I'm afraid the sea is a little noisy, you should be careful when sailing." ”

So far, he feels that this is just an ordinary help, not in a hurry, there are others, so it's okay if he doesn't go.

Lang Haichen didn't persuade either, took out a ticket of fifty yuan in his hand, and said, "Little brother, I can see that you are loyal." In the future, you follow me, I will give you a good way, and I will not be able to treat you badly. ”

Because of the 50 yuan ticket, because of this sentence, that night, 27-year-old Hu Biaoying knew for the first time that there were not only fish and shrimp in the sea, but also televisions, cigarettes, and watches......

Later, he found out that there were even cars in the sea.

The sentence that Hu Biao Pier remembers the most in his life is what Rotten Hai Chen told him, and Rotten Hai Chen said: "Biao Piercing, you remember, the sea has no cover." So the sea is the widest road. ”

In the next three years, Hu Biaoying became the most powerful person under Rotten Hai Chen. Before the old lady left, he made some money, married a wife, and gave birth to a baby.

At the same time, Langhai Chen became a native of Hong Kong City and became a big boss.

At the same time, Hu Biao's boat became farther and bigger, and there were more and more companions around him...... Some of these people are his playmates since childhood, some are men from the surrounding fishing villages, and some don't know each other, but they all have one, they recognize Hu Biaojie.

This is a person who will point to the sinking ship in the midst of the breaking waves and say, "Lean up and save people", and a person who will send money and food to the family of a brother who has an accident in the sea.

Once, one of Hu Biaojie's best brothers, Ban Oar, stole half of the cargo of Chen, and was caught, and the man was put in a sack to sink into the sea......

Hu Biaoying came forward to intercede, and after he stood up, more than 40 people such as leprosy and foreign iron stood up behind him in one go, and pleaded together.

That day, Rotten Hai Chen gave him face and said a lot of heartfelt words about brotherhood.

The Chinese New Year's Eve Hu Biao was still illiterate, and he still didn't understand a lot of things, he only knew a little about doing things for people, affection, and the most understanding, was the water without a cover, so he didn't guard against anything.

Three days later, in the early morning, when the light of day was slightly blooming from the seashore, Hu Biaoding, the boat that returned to the sea with the plate oar, foreign iron and others was on the old channel and was surrounded by more than a dozen ships.

This is not the first time this has happened, and there are also hijackings at sea.

Hu Biaoying walked calmly to the bow of the boat, clenched his fists and said: "I don't know which way the brothers are missing the flowers? Come out to meet, the brothers will row and pull each other, don't hurt the harmony...... It's good that the goods are gone, and I can go back and have an explanation with my boss Rotten Hai Chen. ”

While he spoke, he was actually waiting for the waves. Except for two or three of the older generation, no one knows the temper of the nearby sea better than Hu Biaojie. At the same time, his brothers sneaked into the cabin to touch the guys.

Hu Biaoding never loses the boss's goods.

It's just that he didn't expect that the person who appeared on the bow of the boat opposite would be his boss, Rotten Hai Chen himself.

Rotten Haichen said: "Hu Biao, you are a rotten shrimp, now you want to be the boss, you are still early." But after thinking about it, I still won't wait for you to get there. I don't know how much you have swallowed me in more than a year, so you can take your life. ”

This is the second crucial sentence that Rotten Hai Chen told Hu Biaojie.

"That day I began to know that I could be my own boss. In the middle of the night, in the living room, Hu Biao helped Zheng Xinfeng pour a glass of Remy Martin on the other side, smiled and said, "Don't fucking tell me, maybe I'm still running for him now." ”

Zheng Xinfeng nodded and said, "I believe this." ”

Before Rotten Haichen said it, Hu Biaoying really never thought about it, although someone had hinted that while you earned a piece with your life, Rotten Haichen was lying down, but he earned more than 10,000 yuan...... It means that this is too bad for you, you don't want to order something?

But Hu Biaojie didn't understand and didn't think so.

"One hundred thousand. On the sea in the early morning, more than a dozen ships surrounded, and Rotten Hai Chen smashed a stack of money on the board of the boat under his feet, pointed to the people on Hu Biao's boat and said, "Hu Biao, board oars...... These six people stayed on the boat, and the rest went down to the sea and got on the boat next to them, and you divided the 100,000 yuan. ”

At this point, Hu Biaoying knew that he had to see life and death today.

But no one on his ship moved.

This is the most terrible ......

It is precisely because of this that Rotten Sea Chen's murderous intent is more resolute, "Or if any of you stab them to death, I will add another 30,000." ”

Hu Biaoying turned his head and glanced at the person behind him.

"Look at the. Biaozi, you will be the boss in the future. Yang Tie threw over a harpoon, saw that Hu Biao caught it, and then lifted the earthen gun in his hand, and shouted hoarsely in the wind: "It's done, brothers, let's kill it today and bury the rotten sea here...... From now on, the eldest surname is Hu. ”

"Haha...... Boss Hu, I'm with you. "Paddle had an earthen spear on his shoulder.

More and more people shouted like this, shouting: "From now on, the boss's surname is Hu." ”

The sound drifted over the sea in the early morning.

"Kill it. ”

Rotten Hai Chen didn't dare to wait any longer, and with a wave of his hand, the heavy planks of the boarding ship smashed from all directions, smashing the boat to a straight rock, and the people with knives, forks, and firecrackers killed the boats from the planks.

"There are too many people, and there are too many guns, if there are no waves that day, we will all die ......there," Hu Biaoying said this, and stopped to say to Zheng Xinfeng: "However, when the waves rise, no one on the board of the ship can stand firmer than me and my brothers." ”

Zheng Xinfeng couldn't imagine that kind of fight.

Hu Biaoding just said: "The board of the boat is full of blood, and the people who fell into the sea were swept away by the waves, and there were more than ten brothers on my boat." I still have those brothers' fathers, mothers, wives and children. ”

After the first round of rushing boats.

Hu Biao stood at the bow of the boat covered in blood.
