Chapter 307: Silverfish Hunter
The waves constantly crashed against the proposals on the promenade, making the sound of the tide intoxicating. The constant repetition of the harmonious sound rate can calm people's hearts, and it is indeed rare to be able to have such a situation in a big city. The unique regional environment makes the pace of life here much slower.
In the hazy moonlight, there was a figure flickering in the waves by the sea. A fishing net, which was not a big one, was slowly being pulled up by him. The resistance of the sea, although not too great, is also a big trouble for fishing. However, this person does not find it difficult, and it is as simple as a commonplace to pull and collect.
After salvaging the harvest of today's hard work, it is considered the end of the day's harvest. The old man had different fishing skills from the others, who went out to fish during the day, but he chose to travel at night. It's just that the fish he wants to catch is a whitebait that only comes at night.
This small fish is like dried shrimp, which is the bottom of the marine food chain, but the body is like a snake, small and slender, and it is a characteristic flavor of the Chaoshan region. Ordinary people love to idle a little whitebait, which can be used after drying as a soy sauce adjunct, and a bowl of white porridge is very pleasant.
In order to make a living, the old man naturally does not mind these labors, and although it is a little dangerous to go out to fish at night, he can also earn more money. And the old man's skills are obviously extremely vigorous, firstly, he is already familiar with these jobs more thoroughly, and secondly, he is extremely confident in his water nature, even if one accidentally falls into the water, he is also very confident that he will not have any accidents. This calm confidence comes from a person's heartfelt heritage. With a skill, he is naturally fearless.
The figure of the old man fishing. It was captured by Xu Yiyong from afar, because the work on the dock often lasted until late at night, so the long-term rain also made Xu Yiyong's eyes adapt to the dark night environment. This kind of variation due to environmental factors is the result of nature in order to select organisms that are more suitable for survival.
At this point, Sikong Yao and the others naturally can't see it, for them, it's just a dark patch. Only the outline of the shore can be vaguely discerned. Besides, I can't see anything clearly.
I have to say that everyone has their own uniqueness that is different from ordinary people, for Xu Yiyong. Although he is not as skilled as Sikong Yao and others, if it is to talk about the familiarity with the ocean and the ability to distinguish at night, he has full confidence.
Xu Yiyong found out from afar that the person they were looking for on this trip was to open his mouth and say to Sikong Yao: Miss Sikong. Look over there, he's the guy we're looking for. In our generation, he was a well-known whitebait hunter, and we all called him Eki.
The Hai Lao in Xu Yiyong's mouth, Sikong Yao naturally couldn't see it, but with the footsteps that gradually approached. The distance is also shortening step by step, and then the faint lights can gradually distinguish the figure of a person.
Sikong Yao asked, "What is the temper of this old man of the sea?"
A person's conduct. It is often linked to a person's temper, although not absolutely. But a rude and rude person naturally gives people the impression that they don't have much quality, and such a person often does something unreasonable. Sikong Yao's purpose in asking Xu Yiyong like this is to understand Hai Lao's personality first, and not to wronged a good person.
Xu Yiyong said: "Hai Lao is also a little famous in the local area, the ability of the whitebait hunter, everyone is obvious, he is very real, and the whitebait that cannot be sold will be given to the surrounding neighborhoods, so everyone has a very good impression of him." He himself is also very kind and does not have any conflicts with people. Don't look at his age, his body is no worse than that of young people, some young people who don't have long eyes, and a dozen can't get close to him. ”…
"Oh? Is it a martial arts practitioner? ”
The so-called external training of muscles and bones, internal training of a breath, people who learn martial arts in the body, generally have an inner family heart method, and the breath is much stronger than that of ordinary people. According to Xu Yiyong's words, Hai Lao seems to be still a master, age is not the key to measuring a person's strength, if Hai Lao has any special martial arts skills, he may not be able to sneak in the waves. After all, this is not something that ordinary people can do, if you learn martial arts, whether it is physical strength or internal strength, it will be a considerable help.
Regarding Sikong Yao's question, Xu Yiyong nodded affirmatively, "Hai Lao's kung fu is indeed quite famous in this generation. Xu Yiyong explained: Hai Lao is indeed good, his martial arts are not new, and the people around him also know that he is fishing in the water with his kung fu. ”
There are some people in the world who will integrate martial arts into their careers, just as Sikong Yao uses the Tai Chi Tuna method to use the skills of harmony, and the fourth master of the Xie family also integrates his own boxing skills into the family skills, many people will use martial arts to assist themselves, but this use of martial arts to fish is indeed extremely rare.
"It's amazing to be able to use martial arts to fish." Sikong Yao couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Xu Yiyong also knew that this seemed a little unbelievable, and he could also understand the question in Sikong Yao's heart, although the buoyancy of seawater was higher than that of fresh water, it was not easy for a person to stay afloat in the water. There are some people who can't learn the amazing skill of swimming in their lifetime, and it is indeed too difficult to keep it in a state of non-sinking and fishing at the same time.
Xu Yiyong explained: "Hai Lao's martial arts should not be ordinary martial arts, his boxing technique itself seems to be learned from swimming, between opening and closing, the body will float with the help of water." Although the speed of swimming is not fast, it is quite amazing, as if it is practicing in the seawater, which is really unusual. As he kept rowing, the water would gradually form a whirlpool, and the whitebait would be trapped by him, and then a lot of whitebait could be caught with a single net. Generally, it is enough to call it a day after two or three strokes. ”
Sikong Yao smiled: "It's so easy, wouldn't it be a fortune to play a few more sets of punches."
Su Congshuang shook his head and said, "It can't be like this."
Xu Yiyong also agreed, saying: "Although it is true, it is true that this cannot be done."
Sikong Yao didn't know why, and asked: "Why, listening to what you said, Hai Lao should be very powerful, so he can't do it."
Xu Yiyong nodded and said, "It's not that it can't be done, but I don't want to."
Sikong Yao asked with interest: "Why, where is there anyone who has money and doesn't make money?"
Xu Yiyong explained: "The so-called gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Money can never be earned, and there are thousands of ways to make money, but there are only two things that must not be violated. ”
Sikong Yao asked, "What is it?"
Su Congshuang is obviously not unaware of this statement, and for people who rely on the sea to live, they should all understand this truth.
So Su Congshuang explained for Xu Yiyong: "My family is herding fish, let me talk about this problem."
Xu Yiyong nodded and said, "It's okay."
Su Congshuang said guidedly: "Xiao Yao, have you ever eaten eggs?"
Sikong Yao nodded, under normal circumstances, a person should have eaten eggs.
"Uh-huh, what's wrong?"
Su Congshuang said: "An egg is about one dollar, and a hen can be sold for about eighty yuan. In order to generate more profits, would you choose to sell both eggs and hens? ”
Sikong Yao shook his head, this is a text map that even elementary school students can understand, and said: "Of course not, hens can lay more eggs, and the potential value of hens is far more than eighty yuan." …
Su Congshuang nodded and said with a smile: "So, we fishermen also have two taboos, the first is not to do things that hurt the nature and reason, and the second is not to do the behavior of cutting off the reproduction of fish."
Sikong Yao realized something and said: "I understand, only by letting the fish keep reproducing can we continue to catch it every day, and such a harmonious relationship follows the selection of nature and promotes the evolution of the fish."
Su Congshuang nodded and said, "That's what it means, the old and frail fish will be caught because they can't resist, and what is left in the fish school are healthy fish with the ability to reproduce, as well as small fish that have just been born." Only in this way can we continue to breed better fish. ”
The unchanging truth of nature is the survival of the fittest, the weak are destined to be buried, and the strong can survive. The food chain is a huge web, and any break will affect the ecological balance. The strong at the top of the food chain will not aimlessly hunt animals weaker than themselves, and human beings, as the spirits of all beasts, should not break the laws of nature.
The harmony between man and nature is not only at the level of protecting the ecological environment, but also an indispensable responsibility for the care of the animal circle. If you give up the long-term development for the sake of immediate interests, it is actually an act that outweighs the losses.
Ami Lao follows the will of the sea, and he also knows how to get along with these creatures to ensure the reproduction of his race, which is also the guarantee that he can make a living in the long run.
For such a sensible person, Sikong Yao felt that his character was naturally not bad, but the specifics would have to wait for contact to know.
As the footsteps of the group gradually approached, Hai Lao finally finished today's fishing, a bucket full of fish, can sustain two days of life, it is time to prepare to go home, full rest, for tomorrow's further work.
After packing up the tools, Hai Lao also straightened up, and was about to leave, when he saw Sikong Yao and his party, he immediately felt a little grotesque, it was obvious that these people were coming in his own direction. (To be continued)
