Fang's mother had been running to the dock from time to time since the evening, and she was relieved when she saw the fishing boat driven by Fang Jing appear in the port.

Fang Jing tied the cable and jumped off the boat with Cen Jiu.

Mother Fang saw the two of them empty-handed, and her face was inevitably a little lost, but then she was relieved.

There were almost no fish caught in the nearby waters for the first two years, and it is normal for there to be no catch, as long as the children come back safely, it is a blessing.

"Tired, aren't you? Hot or not? Dinner was ready. Fang's mother said, "Your father knows that after you went to sea, you were restless all day, if it wasn't for Xiaole coaxing him, maybe he would have waited for you at the dock all day." ”

Fang Jing still remembered the piece of wood that he put away in his heart, and he was a little absent-minded.

Fang's mother thought that he was not only not making money because he went to sea for a trip, but also had to discount the oil money and the rent of the fishing boat, so she could only persuade him with good words: "The fish around here are all gone, not to mention you, even the old fisherman in the village went out for a trip, and most of them didn't get any gains, so they should go and play." ”

When he turned his head, he saw the bandage on Cen Jiu's arm, and was shocked: "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Jing didn't want her to worry too much, and said vaguely: "Today's waves are big, the boat is a little bumpy, he is not used to going to sea for the first time, and when he hits his hand, he breaks a little skin, and he is not too strict." ”

Cen Jiu glanced at Fang Jing quietly, the expression on his face was a little subtle, as if he didn't expect Fang Jing to look at that face that looked very upright and calm, and when he lied, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, so he was naturally very surprised.

"How strict is the hit? Let's just say that going to sea is not so fun, you don't listen. Fang's mother said worriedly, and she wanted to go to see Cen Jiu's wound again.

Cen Jiu turned around and gave way, avoiding it.

Fang's mother was stunned for a moment, thinking that Cen Jiu was shy, and said disapprerovitously: "If the wound hurts badly at night, tell Jingjing and let him take you to the clinic to see, don't take it seriously." ”

She is not familiar with Cen Jiu, and with decades of life experience, she always feels that this young man who suddenly appeared in her house is not as simple as her stupid son said.

But Cen Jiu is the only friend that Fang Jing has brought home for so many years, no matter whether the other party has bad intentions or not, she will not do anything to make her son unhappy, at most she will pay more attention to the places that Fang Jing doesn't care about.

As for the only friend who was brought home by Fang Jing before, Fang's mother looked dark when she thought about it.

Don't think about this kind of person.

When he arrived at home, Fang Xiaole pushed Fang's father out, and when he saw Fang Jing, he cheered, threw his father down and rushed towards Fang Jing like a small cannonball, jumping on him, locking his hands, feet and feet on him like an octopus.

Rao is Fang Jing, an adult man who was young and strong, was also rushed back again and again by this force, and bumped into Cen Jiu behind him.

Cen Jiu stretched out a hand and pressed it against Fang Jing's back, only to stop the momentum of the two of them to retreat.

Fang Jing turned his head and glanced at Cen Jiu, and really felt that Cen Jiu had a brute force, and the place where he slapped it with one palm was faintly painful.

"Your brother just came back, and the ninth brother's hand is injured, don't mess around." Fang's mother reprimanded.

Fang Xiaole slipped down from his brother, ran to Cen Jiu's side, looked at the bandages on Cen Jiu's hands curiously, and said, "Brother Jiu, why are you injured?" My brother is not injured, you have so much strength. ”

Cen Jiu: "......"

Fang Jing was speechless, whose bear child is this, pull it out quickly.

Dad Fang pushed the wheelchair over by himself, and saw that there was no big problem with the two, but he said disapprerovitically: "It's like this when you go to sea, small bumps and bumps are inevitable, just come back." ”

I looked at the nets and fish baskets they brought, all of which were empty, and smiled: "Let's just say that there are no fish in the coastal waters, but you still haven't listened, so you ran away in vain." Let's go eat, I'm waiting for you. ”

The weather is too hot, it is rare that Fang's father is willing to go out and walk around more, Fang's mother simply wants to eat in the yard, it is spacious and cool.

Fang Jing went to the house to move the table. Fang's table is the old-fashioned solid wood octagonal table, although the style is older, but the materials are real, and it is relatively large, and the weight is not light, Fang Jing stretched out his arms and couldn't hug it.

"Xiaole, come and help me carry the table."

"Here we are." Fang Xiaole responded and rushed into the house happily.

Cen Jiu glanced at Fang Jing, squatted down, propped his hand under the table, and held the table up steadily with one hand.

Fang Jing: "......"

"No need." Fang Jing's head was suddenly full of black lines.

He looked at Cen Jiujin's thin and powerful arms, and then at his ordinary little arms with no muscles or fat, and he was extremely discouraged.

Sure enough, people are more angry than people.

Cen Jiu held a table weighing dozens of pounds with one hand like a toy, Father Fang was a little stunned, and said for a long time: "Xiao Cen's strength is not small." ”

During the meal, Fang's father asked him about fishing today, Fang Jing shook his head and said: "The big fish schools in the vicinity are basically gone, and there are only some small fish and shrimp, if you don't protect them well, there will be no small fish in a few years." ”

Father Fang was silent.

"In my early years, I advised everyone not to overfish, the ocean gave us a way to live, and we also want to give the ocean a way to live, but no one listened to me at that time." Fang's father said, "Look, it's not the case now. ”

If it weren't for this, how could he be willing to leave his family behind and go to the ocean, not to the sea, the young men who died on his ship back then may still be alive, maybe they are still the same poor and poor, but at least they are still alive and well.

The atmosphere suddenly became dull, Fang's mother glared at Fang's father, and said, "How many years have it been, what are you talking about?" It made everyone lose their appetite. ”

Father Fang sighed: "I just sighed, I think our village was also one of the largest fishing villages in the neighborhood back then, you look at the past few years, there are fewer and fewer people left in the village, and when our generation is old, I don't know how many people are in the village." ”

They are fishermen who have lived in this village for generations, and in this generation, they have lost the food guy passed down from their ancestors and gone to a strange city to beg for a living, which is a very uncomfortable thing for a traditional fisherman like Fang's father.

"According to me, there is nothing wrong with going to live in the city, and it is also a good thing that it is convenient for the children to go to school and buy things. Okay, don't talk about that, let's eat. ”

Fang Jing didn't say anything, he didn't know if the ebony matter was true now, so he decided not to tell Fang's parents first, in case he finally found out that it was just an ordinary piece of wood, so as to save them from being happy in vain.

He decided to study the piece of wood he had put away.

It is inconvenient for the family to have many eyes, and the most important thing is that Fang Xiaole is a bit of a brother, and he follows forward and backward like a little tail, so that Fang Jing has no effort to find a chance to take out the wood and take a look.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Fang Xiaole's excitement passed, and after finally crawling back to his small bed to sleep, Fang Jing casually found a reason to go out.

Because of the hard life of the fishing village in recent years, many families in the village have given up the life of the fishing village and went to the city to work.

Fang Jing casually pushed open an empty house, closed the doors and windows, and then took out the pile of wood.

It is said that it is wood, but in fact it is more like a big tree stump, it should be some years old, the roots are staggered, the diameter of the trunk is more than one meter long, the farmhouse houses are that kind of spacious and bright pattern, this stump swings to the hall, and suddenly the whole hall is crowded.

Fang Jing looked at the wood from the beginning to the end, and found that the appearance of the wood was charred black and brown, and the texture was delicate, which was very beautiful.

He carefully took a small section, the cut was smooth, yellow-brown with a little green, the texture was delicate, faintly with gold threads, and exuded a faint fragrance.

These are all in harmony with the characteristics of ebony, but there are many kinds of scented wood, and Fang Jing is still not sure.

He immersed the small piece of wood in the water, and found that after sinking into the water, the color of the cross-section of the wood actually became darker. Fang Jing took out the small piece of wood, dried it and lit it, leaving behind a small pinch of yellow ashes when it burned out.

The ashes left behind by the burning of ordinary wood are grayish-white, and the ashes of ebony are only yellow when they are burned.

By this time, Fang Jing was basically sure that the wood he had inadvertently caught was ebony, and according to the golden silk in the texture, it was very likely that it was still golden silk nan ebony.

This is the best of the best in ebony!

It turns out that pies really fall from the sky!

Fang Jing couldn't believe his eyes at this moment, his first thought was how much should such a large piece of golden silk nan ebony be worth?

Like a beggar who had picked up a great treasure, he hurried back the wood and went home in a daze.

Dad has had his amputation for several years, and he has not been equipped with a suitable prosthesis, lying in bed like a living dead all day long, and now he can be equipped with a better prosthetic, if the ebony year is a little farther away, the price is a little higher, maybe even the intelligent prosthesis is worthy, and in the future, Dad will not have to lie in bed all day, or rely on a wheelchair to walk. I don't have to rely on others anymore, and if I can move on my own, my father's mood should be a little better.

Xiaole can also relax when he goes to be an exchange student, and it is always better to have more money in his hand when he is abroad.

And the old-fashioned black and white TV at home can also be replaced, saving my mother sometimes wanting to watch a TV series and running next door to watch it.

……

The ebony hasn't been sold yet, Fang Jing has already calculated in his mind, how to use this money, and his heart is so beautiful.

At night, the fishing village is exceptionally quiet, with only the sporadic lights showing that there are people in the village who have stayed up late at night like him.

Fang Jing walked alone on the deserted road, thinking about how to find a way to make the ebony look like it was fished back from the sea by him. In the eyes of normal people, he can't get such a big piece of wood back by himself, he has to have a helper.

The secret of the bubbles, he didn't plan to tell sù, and when he died, he would bring it into the coffin, so the choice of this helper had to think carefully.

Father Fang can't do it, and his physical condition doesn't allow it; Fang's mother can't do it either, the woman's strength is small and it's too dangerous to have sharks in that water, Fang Xiaole-

Direct pass.

As for the people in the village, it is even worse.

Then there is only one Cen Jiu left.

Cen Jiu is good, he has great strength and high martial arts, he has a strange and withdrawn personality, he is still an outsider, he doesn't know anything about this world, there is really no one more suitable than him.

Fang Jingyile felt that when Cen Jiu was stabbed by a thief and fainted in order to save him, he didn't turn around and leave unthankfully, and sent people to the hospital. Look, what a qualified helper this is.

That's it!
