………………

In the blue ocean, a slightly cluttered reef thicket.

The sea breeze blew warmly, rolling up the waves, lapping on the reef, stirring up a snow-white patch.

On the largest reef nearby, Han Xiao was squatting with only a pair of underwear, reaching out to wipe his face, rubbing his eyes again, a pair of eyes widened, looking at this little guy who was spinning around in front of his eyes.

The little creature was silver, about the size of a palm, and had a big head, with eight brachiopods under his head, connected to each other, and two neat rows of suckers on his wrists - yes, the little creature was called the octopus, a sea animal called the "eight-wristed family", which was very common in many seas.

It's just that this little octopus is covered in silver, giving people the feeling of being a metal cast handicraft, which is quite strange.

"Smack!"

The little guy was carrying his silver head, a pair of small eyes were rolling back and forth, and he was also staring at Han Xiao, and the two wrists and feet in front of him were gently patting on the reef, bringing out some sounds, as if he wanted to attract Han Xiao's attention.

Han Xiao stared straight at the metal octopus, and suddenly said, "Zuoyi, lift up." ”

"Brush!" The little octopus obediently lifted its first brachiopod on its left.

"Right one, lift up."

"Brush!" The little octopus lifted the first brachiopod from the right.

"Second from left, second from right, third from left...... All up! ”

"Brush! Smack! ”

The little octopus raised its eight wrists and feet together, and then with a soft sound, it rolled down and fell into the sea next to it. After a while, the little octopus crawled out of the sea again, shook off the seawater, and then raised its head again, staring at Han Xiao with those small eyes, as if it was a little curious, but it didn't see it angry.

"Obedience is obedience, but this IQ is worrying."

Han Xiao pinched his chin with one hand and probed in front of the little octopus with the other. The octopus immediately climbed up along Han Xiao's arm, and finally jumped on top of Han Xiao's head.

Han Xiao is a native of Qiongya City, Tianya Province, the Chinese Empire, from childhood to adulthood, he only left Qiongya City when he was studying at that pheasant university, and stayed in Haijiao City, the capital of Tianya Province, for four years. After graduating from university, Han Xiao returned to Qiongya City, and after being introduced by a friend, she joined a fishing company called "Shunfa".

Han Xiao's major in university is marine biology, but he has only been mixed for four years, and his main job in Shunfa Fishery Company is to contact fishing boats to collect fish. In addition, he has a poor relationship with his boss, manager Zhu Dacai, and is often troubled, so it is not bad to have 2,500 yuan a month.

After working in Shunfa Fishery for more than half a year, during the "May Day" holiday, the big boss of Shunfa Fishery spoke and organized some employees in the company to travel to South Vietnam with a group, and Han Xiao also signed up to participate. I was bored with a group in Hanoi, and when I arrived in Haiphong City, Han Xiao left the group to play by herself, and was unlucky to see a scene of South Vietnamese gangsters killing people in the streets and alleys, so she was kidnapped by five gang members and taken to the beach to plant flowers with the unlucky ghost who was killed.

Han Xiao is one meter seven or eight tall, and his figure is barely strong, plus the family heirloom Baguazhang, although he has only practiced a fur, it is not a problem to deal with three or five South Vietnamese dwarfs. However, in the situation at that time, before Han Xiao could make a move, he was pointed at a gun by a small leader of the other party, and he did not dare to move. After being tied up by the other party, they couldn't resist, so they were taken to the sea, pressed the stone slab, and threw into the sea.

Han Xiao was thrown into the sea, originally thought that he would die, but when he was unconscious, he felt as if he had been stabbed by something, and he was dragged by something in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he found that he was taken to the vicinity of such a reef group, and the little octopus was staring at him cutely.

"Those little South Vietnamese devils, don't let Lao Tzu meet them again! Otherwise, I want to make them look good even if I fight for this life! ”

Han Xiao thought hatefully in his heart, and between his eyebrows, the anger was amazing.

Han Xiao is not a good person, and his tutor is also quite strong, although he has been worn off some edges and corners when he enters the society, his temperament has not changed, and when he thinks of his near death this time, there is an irrepressible anger in his heart. If it weren't for this fate, he ran into this inexplicable little octopus, maybe he would have really burped and ascended to heaven. This enmity is as deep as the sea, and it cannot be explained in a few simple words.

In the distance, Han Xiao saw a fishing boat swimming by, stood up excitedly, jumped onto the highest reef nearby, and shouted, "Help!" Help me! There are people here! help! help! ”

The fishing boat heard the sound in the distance, and drove over with a huge engine, and outside the cabin was a thin barefoot boy, wearing an oilcloth coat on his lower body, with ** on his upper body, short hair, and a series of Vietnamese words when he opened his mouth.

Han Xiao didn't understand it very well, but he could roughly guess that the young man should be asking him why he was here, and hurriedly said loudly: "I am a Chinese tourist and accidentally fell into the water here......

In the cabin, a dark-skinned middle-aged man walked out, glanced at Han Xiao's body vigilantly, and asked in a strange tone, "Are you from Huaxia?" Ah Zheng, ignore him. ”

The middle-aged man said, turned and walked into the cabin.

Seeing this, Han Xiao said hurriedly: "Hey, hey! This uncle, don't be so ruthless, okay? Take me to the sea, and I will be grateful! There will be a lot of thanks...... it! ”

When Han Xiao shouted, the engine sounded, and the fishing boat had slowly walked away, Han Xiao jumped and gestured to the fishing boat. The young man on the fishing boat had a good look, and immediately returned a middle finger, and then scolded in a strange tone: "You only have a pair of underwear on you, what do you want to thank?" Wait here to die! Huaxia pig! ”

"Nima!" Han Xiao jumped to his feet and gestured with his middle finger again, but the fishing boat had already driven far away and was out of sight.

Cursing in his mouth, Han Xiao sat on the reef again, with the little octopus on his head, looking into the distance.

In fact, there will be this treatment, Han Xiao is not strange in her heart. Over the years, there was a big war between the Chinese Empire and the South Vietnamese State, and then there were endless fights over the sea area and islands, and the fishermen between the two countries were not at peace, and there were many bloody conflicts over the fishing grounds. Thanks to the offshore water, Han Xiao is a tourist, not a fisherman. If it was in the open sea area, Han Xiao would definitely have been handed over by the high-pressure water gun by now - maybe there would be a "real water gun".

Several more ships passed by, but none of them found Han Xiao. Seeing that it was already afternoon, the sun was sinking in the west, and if he continued to stay on this sea for one night, he might lose half his life the next day.

Just as he was thinking about it, another fishing boat approached not far away, and Han Xiao immediately shouted for help. When the fishing boat approached, there was a middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat, wearing a raincoat, and his eyes swept over Han Xiao's body before asking, "Huaxia?" ”

As soon as Han Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly cooled, and he felt that his idea of taking a boat was probably going to be ruined again, and he was about to open his mouth to scold twice, taking advantage of it first, and then heard the middle-aged man's hoarse voice say, "Come up." ”

"Old ...... Well? Thank you! Thank you, uncle! ”

Han Xiao almost shouted "Lao Tzu", but as soon as he heard that he was on the boat, he hurriedly thanked him, jumped into the sea, and swam on the boat.

On board, the middle-aged man shouted into the cabin again, and then he heard someone in the cabin answer, who seemed to be a woman. Han Xiao was a little curious, because in the tradition of the fishing family, it is ominous for women to enter the sea, so there are few women on the fishing boat. Even if the atmosphere is different now, there are still very few women on the fishing boat.

A moment later, a man came out of the cabin, and it was indeed a woman, but she did not look very old, her face was slightly dark, and her eyes were quite beautiful, as if they were black pearls in the sea. The girl was still holding a set of fishermen's clothes in her hand, a pair of big eyes swept over Han Xiao's body, and after seeing that Han Xiao was only wearing a pair of underwear, she lowered her head slightly shyly: "This big brother, let's change clothes first." ”

The Chinese spoken by this girl, although still a little strange, could be heard and was markedly different from other South Vietnamese people.

Han Xiao hurriedly put on a pair of shorts, put the shorts on her body casually, and smiled at the girl: "Thank you for this sister." And, uncle, thank you! My name is Han Xiao, a native of Qiongya City, Tianya Province, I don't know what to call my uncle? ”

The middle-aged man didn't look back: "My surname is Ruan." ”

Instead, the girl said, "My father's name is Ruan Along, my name is Ruan Chen Meixiang, and my mother is Chinese." Brother Han, what's that on your head? Octopus? It's actually silver, so cute! ”

"Uh...... Yes. Han Xiao reached out and grabbed the small octopus that was still coiled on top of his head, and stuffed it into his pocket under Ruan Chen Meixiang's curious gaze.

The name of a woman in South Vietnam is generally the father's surname plus the mother's name, or the father's surname is directly added with "clan" and then the first name. Therefore, the girl's mother should be surnamed Chen and her name should be Mei Xiang.

Han Xiao finally understood that the attitude of these two people towards him was not like that of other South Vietnamese fishermen.

Ruan Along was a little indifferent, Han Xiao said a few words and ignored them, but Ruan Chen Meixiang put aside her shyness and chatted with Han Xiao non-stop. It didn't take long for the boat to reach the shore, and Han Xiao also got a lot of news from Ruan Chen Meixiang's mouth. Nguyen Ah Long is just 40 years old this year, just in the prime of life. Nguyen Tran Mai Huong was 18 years old, her mother died in elementary school, and after the second year of high school, she stopped studying because of her family's poor background, and took care of the housework at home, and occasionally went to sea with her father to fish.

During the small talk, the fishing boat was close to the shore, and the sky was already a little dark, only occasionally meeting a few people, Ruan Ah Long simply said hello.

The small fishing village is called Yabian Bay, and the houses of Nguyen Ah Long's family are simple.

After entering the courtyard, Ruan Along briefly rinsed in the courtyard, and then handed Han Xiao an old set of clothes and asked Han Xiao to change them by herself. Ruan Chen Meixiang had already poured water from the kettle and asked Han Xiao to drink water to warm up first.

Han Xiao smiled on her face and thanked her repeatedly, Mei Xiang took out two small fish, made fish soup, and cooked a pot of rice.

After taking a sip of water, my body warmed up a lot. Han Xiao turned to Ruan Along and said, "Uncle Ruan, can you borrow my phone for use?" ”

Ruan Along took out the old Nokia on his body and handed it to Han Xiao: "The phone bill is not much, save a little money." ”
