I don't know how many calluses the oyster crackers had, how many times they were driven away to dig snails, how many cuts were cut when they were shuttling through the oyster fields to pick up snails, and how many pairs of rubber shoes were worn out. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Many people think that going to sea is nothing more than being exposed to the wind and sun, and the money comes quickly, Tang Yu also felt this way a long, long time ago, but in fact, going to sea is sometimes fighting with his life.

People who go to sea are not divided into cold and heat, and the weather without strong winds and heavy rain is good weather. But when the meteorological bureau is unreliable, where do ordinary people have eyes to the sky? Sometimes the sun is still shining when you go out, and when you are halfway through the boat, you may have a strong wind and overturn the boat.

Tang Yu remembered that once when they were halfway through picking up snails, the sky suddenly roared, lightning and thunder, whirring, black clouds were thick, and the bean-sized rain hit the face and felt pain.

Without any hesitation, everyone ran in the direction of the stopped boat, this time more serious than every previous time.

"One, two, three, hard!"

"One, two, three, hard!"

Before the tide rises, the boat is parked on the ground, and people have to get the anchor that they have thrown before and push the boat in the direction of the depth. One more person means more effort, except for the younger uncomfortable children, who can get on the boat first to avoid the wind and rain, everyone else has to be pushed below. At this time, no one will care about who contributes more and who does less. Soaked in the rain and soaking wet, I don't know what the risks will be, and everyone wants to go home as soon as possible.

A minute earlier, there was more hope, the cells of the whole body were clamoring, and the face had long been unable to distinguish between sweat and rain.

Finally, the boat brushed the ground and pushed to a place where there was water. Keep pushing, the boat floats!

Continue to drag deeper, up to your waist. At this time, it was a bit difficult to take off the boat, and the skilled ones supported the unskilled ones in the back first, and everything was so orderly.

The last man came up and turned the wheels of the boarding boat in, which would reduce the resistance of the water.

Don't think that the danger is lifted when you board the ship, it's not enough, it's just the first step.

One cannot sit on the edge of the boat or on the bow of the boat as before, nor can one stand, but must sit or crouch on either side of the cabin and maintain maximum balance.

The boat is bumpy, like someone pushing you hard behind your swing, sometimes high and sometimes low, but without the slightest thrill, the boat may capsize at any time, adding more panic.

Cold, really cold, indescribably cold.

The wind was surging from all directions, and Tang Yu felt that the boat that could accommodate about fifty people sailing on the sea was like a flat boat, which was really too small.

When the ship was halfway through, it did not advance but retreated. The unpredictable direction of the wind is a real dilemma.

"Poseidon bless, Poseidon bless." Some people prayed with their hands folded.

"The god of the sea must bless us, we have a dragon boat race on May 5 every year to honor you."

"Yes, you must see clearly, we are from Lujiao Village, and the people of Lujiao have always respected you."

"If something happens to us, it's useless to race a dragon boat to worship the god of the sea, and we may not race dragon boats in the future. Poseidon, you must keep your eyes open. ”

Every year on the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival will hold a dragon boat race in Lujiao Village, which is a tradition that has been passed down and has the meaning of asking the god of the sea to protect those who go to sea.

In the past, the green banana people regarded dragon boat racing as a tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival. It wasn't until 98 that many accidents occurred in Yupai Village on the other side of the green banana, and several boats going out to sea were overturned, and all people and boats were destroyed.

It is believed that they caused the misfortune because they stopped the dragon boat race and angered the sea god. Otherwise, how to explain that there are so many boats going to sea, and how to explain that the boats that capsize are all from the fishing row village, and how to explain that the boats rarely capsize before this, and after the resumption of dragon boat racing, it is normal?

Since then, the green banana people have become more in awe of the sea god, and they have become more cautious in arranging dragon boat races.

"Heaven and earth, God bless, land bless."

"Mother-in-law bless, ancestors bless."

"If you come to the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, be kind and blessed!"

・・・・・・

Except for Uncle Chen, who was at the helm of the boat at the stern, a man, and a few girls like Tang Yu, the rest were women, and they seemed to believe that prayer would be useful, so they asked Tang Yu and them to pray together.

If prayer is useful, what you want will be in front of you, do you still need to work hard? But what else can you do but pray? You can't say anything discouraged.

They didn't talk about their children's families, because that seemed to be explaining what was going on after the death, and they were still willing to believe in the hope of life until the last step.

Tang Yu obediently did so, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and silently prayed for God's blessing. Maybe it's to calm their hearts, maybe it's to calm their own hearts.

Or maybe people don't believe in God, but find spiritual sustenance in such a helpless situation.

Swinging, the boat is still swinging.

It's struggling.

The downpour poured down like this, and the rumbling sound echoed in my ears, as if thunder was thundering overhead. Don't dare to look, people don't dare to look with their heads down. There are many people who have been killed by lightning when they go to sea.

The wind was still strong, the boat was still turbulent, and people were grabbing whatever they could hold onto.

I don't know if it's because of the bad weather, the sky soon covered with a black veil, and people can't pretend to be calm, even if they weren't very calm.

A timid man was already crying, "I don't want to die yet, the child is still so young, I'm leaving, who will take care of him." The child's father will definitely marry again, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, my poor baby! "Crying so desolately, as if there is really a stepmother and stepfather bullying her children.

Anyone with a little common sense at the beach knows that it is not possible to spend the night at sea in this kind of weather, especially if it is still such a simple boat with no safety guarantee. At night, the sea temperature drops, the wind is stronger, and the ship is more likely to capsize. Also, the body can't stand it.

The panic gradually spread. There were also a few people who cried in a low voice, and they didn't dare to cry loudly at this time, for fear of alarming Lei Gong and Lei Mu.

Who is not afraid of death? Working hard to earn money is not about living well, being able to eat and dress well, and providing your children with the best possible future. Who wants to die like this? There are many things that have not yet been done, and many blessings have not yet been enjoyed, who wants to die in this sea of bones on such a night?

Tang Yu didn't want to, she didn't work hard for so long in vain. At that time, she was studying in the county, and she was full of spirit, and the people in the village who did not praise her future college students were in front of her.

No matter what others said or how panicked, Tang Yu didn't believe it and ignored it. She inexplicably had a self-confidence that she shouldn't have died.

But at this time, she was glad that Tang's mother went to play cards, instead of going to sea with her. Her mother wasn't someone who could stand the surprise.

Tang Yu's straw hat has been taken off, and the soft straw hat soaked by the rain will not play a role anyway, in case there is a real accident, it can reduce the burden.

She clutched the plank tightly, pursed her lips, her eyes did not blink, her expression was solemn, and she quietly felt the wind and rain.

I don't know how long it was, but it was already dark.

Tang Yu's ears moved, and the direction of the wind changed.

The ship is no longer headwinded.

The shore was slowly receding, and the boat was moving smoothly.

This is really good news. Only then did people hold back their tears, regain their spirits, and keep their eyes open and not relax for a moment.

"Sit tight, I'm going to speed up!" The sound of Uncle Chen shouting at the bow of the boat came, and he knew that he was happy when he listened to the voice.

Can you really go home soon? Uncle Chen, a veteran of the sea, should be fine if he is so relaxed. Let's hurry up, let's hurry up.

The familiar lights are in front of them, people change from heavy to happy, and the familiar lights are the guiding lights and tranquilizers for people who go to sea.

The boat had already reached the shallow waters, and returning to the familiar place was like returning to the front of one's own house, which was long away from the center of the storm.

If it weren't for the boat, Tang Yu would have suspected that they were going to stand up and dance, it was so exciting, I don't know if the laughter could be heard by the people on the beach? Getting out of danger safely should indeed be laughing about.

"The god of the sea has appeared!"

"The god of the sea has appeared!"

"The god of the sea has appeared!"

Whether you believe it or not, say more and don't bite your tongue. Immediately, everyone on the boat began to drink.

When they got off the boat, the women were still telling how thrilling it was.

Some people sighed that every time they went to sea, they stepped on the iron rope of the cliff, and everyone nodded in agreement. There are too many accidents at sea, it may be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, some of the companions who used to go to sea with you have disappeared, and it is impossible to say who will be the next one and when they will suddenly disappear. A little more awe and caution, and a little less impetuousness and ignorance, is definitely a must-have for people who go to sea.

Even though they talked about how risky it was to go to sea, especially on a rainy day, none of them said that they would never come again next time. People have a fluke mentality, always thinking that they won't have an accident, and it won't be themselves who will have an accident.

There is a possibility of life-threatening, and I have to bow my head in front of the daily firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and children's various tuition, textbook fees, and examination fees.

sighed again, Tang Yu's more than 2,000 is really not easy.
