The head of the fishing village is a middle-aged man who looks very kind, and although it is the first time for Sheng to see him, he feels that he is so kind-hearted that he is already very familiar.

Sheng's feeling is right, when he was seriously ill, the village chief asked a doctor from the outside to see him, brought him food, and fed him personally when he couldn't eat, although Sheng was in a coma, but occasionally when he opened his eyes, he saw his face, so he felt that the village chief was familiar.

The village chief was very fond of this affectionate young man, and sympathized with his misfortune, and felt that it was his duty to help the young man, so he always helped Sheng in secret.

Sheng sees the village chief's resolute character hidden under the kind exterior.

The village chief couldn't resist Sheng, and announced in the village that Sheng wanted to thank the people in the village and thank all the people in the village.

Everyone was very excited to hear it. The Shengyou family is very rich, and he can buy this small island as long as he wants. Of course, the people in the village didn't know that the Sheng family's property could buy hundreds of such islands, and they just thought that they would be very rich if they could buy this island.

Sheng's reward has several plans, depending on everyone's opinions, these plans are: first, to build new houses for the whole village, second, to buy a fishing boat for each family, and third, to move the whole village to the land. ”

Everyone also pretended to pretend to prevaricate, saying that it should be done, and there was no need for polite words such as thanks. Later, seeing Sheng's sincere and resolute attitude, he began to discuss. One said that he was in favor of building a new house, after all, it was a nest for shelter from the wind and rain, and it was comfortable to live comfortably. Another young man is firmly opposed, no matter how comfortable he is, he eats sea rice, and his life is insecure.

There were also suggestions for boats, but they were strongly opposed by those who advocated living on shore. Their reasoning was that this was an opportunity to go ashore, and if they didn't seize it, there would be no more.

"Let's live on the shore, it's too hard to eat at sea, and it's dangerous. The young man said angrily, "Don't you think enough is enough? I don't want to live here anymore." “

He pointed out that the life of a fisherman is a tragedy, and the charm is the truth.

"We love the sea, but in the end we are swallowed by it. ”

For a time, no one spoke. Everyone was soothed by his words, and there was a kind of sadness on everyone's face.

"Since you are destined to be a fisherman, let's be a fisherman. ”

The village chief said. He was against the words of young people and believed in fate.

The older generation of the village is in favor of the village chief, and the younger people choose offshore. But in the village, the old man and the village chief still have the final say.

The village chief said that since Sheng must help everyone, then help repair the houses in the village, the young people are depressed, and the old people are in favor.

On the second day, Sheng hired a mason to repair all the houses in the village, and also renovated his grass house beautifully, so that he could live in the fishing village with his daughter with peace of mind. Every morning when he got up and had breakfast, he would take his easel to the beach to sketch, while his daughter watched him paint. At noon, he returned to the thatched hut to cook, and in the afternoon taught his daughter to read and write at home.

At night, after his daughter fell asleep, he turned the lights on and didn't turn them off all night, he was worried that he wouldn't find a home when Mei returned.

The father and brother were very happy to know that he had a daughter, and let him take it back, and the family had a servant and could go to the best school. But Sheng didn't agree. The daughter is a descendant of a fishing village, and he still has to wait for the charm here.

Mei is really a mystery. A year after her disappearance, she suddenly sent a daughter, but she herself did not know what happened. There are some more stories coming out of the village.

Mei was very strange when she was a child, different from ordinary people, the people in the village said, this is probably related to her name, there is a ghost word in the name, I don't know how her parents gave her this name. She doesn't like to talk and doesn't play with her peers. But she was very sensible, and when she was very young, her parents died one after another, and they both went to the sea to fish and never returned to shore. Mei went to the sea to fish when she was a little older, I don't know what happened, and I didn't see how she learned, and her kung fu in the water was very good, better than the best boys in the village.

The ancestors of the people in the village were not fishermen, they were a prominent family on land. A woman in the family had violated the clan law and should have been banished from the country according to the clan rules, but the elders of the family did not do so, and the woman's father was the elder. The patriarch was so angry that he banished all the people of the tribe to a barren and barren seaside island, where there was no land and no crops to grow, so the tribe had to go to the sea to fish to make ends meet.

The first person to go to the sea was the woman who broke the rules of the clan. A family that had been living well was exiled here because of her, and everyone was angry with her.

No one saw her study, so she took a fisherman's harpoon and went to sea alone. The elder watched and did not dare to stop him. Everyone thought that she would not come up, and was about to disperse, but the woman came out of the sea with a small fish in her hand. After that, the men in the village also learned to go into the sea to fish, and the villagers also began to make a living by fishing.

"Count it out, that woman is still the grandmother of the charm. ”

The women said that the younger generation who came out of such a strange ancestor was naturally also strange.

Where did Mei go, what happened to her, why she didn't bring her daughter after giving birth, and didn't go back to the village. These problems plague not only Sheng, but also the village chief.

It's just one thing that proves that Mei is still alive.

Wuchai wandered around the small fishing village selected by the crew, and here, she smelled a familiar smell, which was the smell of the aquarists who had lived in the sea for a long time.

The smell reminded her of the travelogues about the Shui people that the Shui people sang in their songs, remembering such an incident. Among the Aqua Tribes, there is another tribe that was also banished to the sea by the original tribe. Unlike them, this tribe is half in the sea and half on land. They have a common ancestor, and the ancient legends of this fishing village have been passed down together by the Shui people in songs, singing and dancing.

In the script, the story about the people in the fishing village who were originally exiled from the continent is the same as the biography of the Shui people who recited the Shui people.

Exiled to the islands, the land-based tribe could not adapt to life on the water, as their only food was fish, and they did not know even the basic underwater posture.

That night, Xiao, the woman who had been involved in the family, sat on the beach, thinking about how to save the family from starvation. Looking at the vast sea, I thought, there are thousands of creatures in this sea, they are the best food for human beings, but my people do not know water, they can't get it, and when they learn to swim and then extract the food under the sea, they are almost hungry. Moreover, even if you learn water, there is another process of spearing fish with tools, which is not easier than learning water, and it may be more difficult.

How to make the people eat food immediately is an urgent problem to be solved, and it is also a great problem. It didn't seem like she was a weak woman who could solve the problem.
