"Outside the South China Sea, there are mermaids, who live in water like fish, do not waste weaving, and their eyes cry, they can produce pearls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shen Congzhi put down the "Sou Shen Ji" in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and secretly thought that he was stunned, and he even began to believe that this ghost and god only said it, and he didn't know where to go in the sage books he read before.

Opening the wooden box next to the desk, lying inside was a plump and rich pearl, only the size of a person's little fingernail cover, such a pearl can be seen everywhere in their fishing village, but the origin of this pearl is extraordinary.

……

An ordinary twenty years ago, an ordinary night, an ordinary Shen Congzhi descended on this ordinary fishing village.

Shen's father is a lazy fisherman, and his favorite thing to do is to leave this small fishing village in his small fishing boat and go to the overseas world, listen to music and drink wine.

On the day Shen Congzhi was born, Shen's father swore to Shen's mother that from now on, he would never have fun again, and he would work hard to earn money to support his family, and no longer let their mother and son suffer half of the hardship.

"Lady, I've listened to the song for so many years, and I finally heard what I wanted to say to you when I saw you."

The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.

The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side.

Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long.

Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water.

From it, our son will be called Shen Congzhi in the future.

Shen's father really stopped having fun, and went out to sea to fish with the villagers all day long, compared to before, I don't know how many points he has grown, so as long as Shen Congzhi goes out with his father, someone will always say to him, "Congzhi, you are really the treasure of the Shen family, you should really see how much your father didn't grow up before, if you weren't born, your family would definitely be poor and couldn't open the pot." ”

Shen Congzhi also replied with a smile, "Yes, I am the treasure of the Shen family, and I am the treasure of my father." ”

The villagers watched the Shen family go from a down-and-out family to the richest family in the fishing village, and it was impossible for them to be without jealousy.

Shen's mother Song Zhenrong likes to sit under the porch with her brother and daughter-in-law to chat with the soles of her shoes, and occasionally there will be a few village women passing by, who whisper to her peers after seeing Shen's mother, "Look at that Fang Hongyan, she stays with Song Zhenrong all day long, and she doesn't step out of the door, like a young lady, I'm afraid that the little land at home is dry." ”

The village woman next to her peeked at the women sitting there, and saw that they were all dressed more beautiful than herself, and couldn't help but say with a sour mouth, "Their family is also interesting and tight, if it wasn't for Shen Congzhi's birth, Shen De realized that they can no longer be greedy for pleasure, where would they be so leisurely and leisurely, I'm afraid they would have gone down to the ground to carry a hoe a long time ago, if Shen Congzhi was born in my house, my family would have already made the financial road outside, you look at them, they haven't stayed in this small village for so many years." ”

Hearing a few village women snickering in front of their house, Fang Hongyan finally couldn't sit still, walked towards them quickly, pointed at the tip of their noses and scolded, "I said the daughter-in-law of the Li family, it's not right for you to say this, what is Shen Congzhi born in your house, the old lady will tell you today, even if ten Shen Congzhi are in your house, your family will still be like now, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, you still have to work in the field, look at your hands, yo, just go digging coal, come on, look at your figure, Could it be that your pig food has been stolen and eaten by you. ”

Fang Hongyan covered her mouth and wanted to learn from the chuckle of those official ladies, but after laughing, she couldn't hold back her laughter and began to laugh out loud.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family's face turned into a pig's liver color, but she dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, everyone in the fishing village knew that she was a good hand at scolding people before she got married, if she offended her, she would have to be scolded by her, but since she married Shen De's younger brother Shen Xing, she has been with her sister-in-law all day long, and rarely speaks again, and when everyone thought that she had 'withdrawn from the rivers and lakes', she found that she was just hiding, and the treasure knife is a treasure knife after all, hidden for many years, and it can still hurt people.

Pick up the daughter-in-law of the Li family and leave, this family is really not offended by them, and they really blame them for being cheap, if you want to say that they are talking behind their backs, what are you talking about in front of them.

Striding back to Song Zhenrong's side, Fang Hongyan sat back in her position, exhaled loudly, and sighed, "It's really fucking cool, these uneducated village women are really clueless, my brother and Xianggong have worked hard for so many years, and they don't go out early and return late one day, they are not many times faster than the men in their family, just according to this, it is inevitable that the Shen family will be rich." ”

Song Zhenrong put down the insoles in her hand, got up and poured a glass of water for her, and put it in her hand, "Whether the Shen family has money or not is our business, just let them say what they like to say, don't always say these vulgar words, when Yun'er learns, there will be times when you regret it." ”

Fang Hongyan has always longed for life overseas, she gave birth to a daughter twelve years ago, and she wanted to cultivate her into a good girl who knew how to learn, so she forced down her habit of scolding the street, for fear that her stinky problem would let her daughter learn.

"I said sister-in-law, if you want me, I will also say that it is the treasure of the Shen family, you look at his bearing, just like the prince and grandson outside, and the second dog, they are not of the same grade at all when they get rich."

Looking at the thumbs up of her brother and daughter-in-law, Song Zhenrong's eyes were full of love, her son is eighteen years old, all the women of the right age in this village are fierce-looking, and her son has a soft personality, if she finds them as daughters-in-law, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Song Zhenrong couldn't help frowning.

"It's not early, I'm going home to cook for their grandfather and son, don't be angry with those people, it's not worth it."

Pick up the soles and needles and threads in your hands, arrange your things and put them in a small dustpan, thinking about what to do at noon along the way.

Shen family compound

"From that, what are you doing? Why are you still stunned? ”

Stepping into the courtyard, I saw that the window of the study was wide open, and my son was pinching a round pearl in a daze, Song Zhenrong walked to the window and stood for a long time without seeing Shen Congzhi come back to his senses, and then he couldn't help asking, "Like this pearl?" Then another day, when my mother made a belt for you, I sewed it for you, but this pearl is a little small, and my mother has a few big ones, so I will sew it for you another day. ”

"Mother, you're back."

Shen Congzhi came back to his senses and found that Song Zhenrong was staring at the pearl in his hand, coughed and put the pearl back in the box, "Mother, no need, I want to keep this pearl, you should put those big pearls of yours and play some jewelry, otherwise let my father know that I robbed you of your things, and you have to beat me." ”

"He dares."

Looking at his mother's face pretending to be angry, Shen Congzhi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my father doesn't dare to beat me, my mother is protecting me, how dare my father do it." Okay mother, I'm hungry, what to eat at noon? How about braised fish? ”

"Fish fish fish, why do you like to eat fish three hundred and sixty-five days a year, okay, if you like to eat your mother, I'll make it for you, wait a minute."

Watching his mother walk to the kitchen, Shen Congzhi reopened the box, and the cry he heard when he walked on the beach that night echoed in his ears......

……

The Qiqiao Festival is the favorite festival of all lovers, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl gather in Queqiao on this day, bringing the most beautiful night sky to all couples in the world.

Shen Congzhi walked on the beach, thinking that if there were really immortals, what would the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd say and do when they got together in Queqiao?

He has been living in this small fishing village for more than ten years, and has never seen the outside world, thanks to his father's ability to read and write, teaching him to read and write, and often telling him interesting things that happen outside, his life is not so boring.

He also asked his father why he did not take him out, and he told him that there were monsters in the sea, and that they would appear on the seashore at the time of the begging festival, and sing the saddest songs, which aroused the pity of the passers-by, and went forward to comfort them, but all that was left was a pile of bones.

"Then why don't I go out on the Beggar Festival?"

Xiao Congzhi nested in his father's arms, feeling his father's broad arms and the unique smell of sea water on his father's body.

"That monster has a great ability, and he likes to catch boys and girls who have not yet grown up."

"Why?"

Pulling his father's shirt, Xiao Congzhi couldn't help asking.

"Because they are still young, and their flesh and skin are the most tender, if one day you accidentally see that the monster's mouth is full of things, and you listen carefully, you can hear the rattling sound coming from their mouths, and they are chewing children's bones, so this monster is very scary."

Feeling his son trembling in his arms, Shen De gently patted his back, with a somewhat soothing taste.

"What does that monster look like? Is it like what is written in the book, with three heads and six arms, iron teeth and copper teeth? ”

"It's not that scary, it's said that the monster looks like a human, except it has no ears, no legs, only gills and tails."

"Looks like a human, and a fishtail? Can they not only swim in the sea, but also go ashore? ”

Looking at Shen Congyi's curious face, Shen De smiled and shook his head, "No, they only dare to stay on the reef and don't dare to leave the sea for too long, you look at those fish in the sea, which one is out of the boiling water." ”

"The Eighth King of the Sea."

"You stinky boy, you know a lot."

The father and son made a mess in the study. It seems like it happened yesterday.

Today is the Begging Festival, will you meet the legendary monster?

As he grew older, he became more and more curious about what the monster looked like, and almost every few days he would beg his father to take him to the sea, but his father refused for different reasons each time, which made him more and more curious about the monster.

In fact, it's not that Shen's father is unwilling to take him out to sea, it's just that I don't know what's going on over the years, the sea is getting more and more dangerous, the last moment it was still sunny weather, and in an instant, the sea breeze was raging, the torrential rain was pouring, and the fishermen in the fishing village were more and more afraid to go out to fish, resulting in higher and higher fish prices.

There was the sound of the waves unique to the sea, and it seemed that the monster would not appear again on this begging festival, Shen Congzhi hung his head and walked home with a depressed face.

Who's singing? Why is this song so sad? Shen Congzhi wiped the tears from his face, turned his head and found that there was this 'person' sitting on the reef in the distance......
