Su Yeon wrote a letter to her family, saying that her sister was sick and stranded, and that she might arrive home a little later. Because my sister is from Jiangnan, I have to accompany her back to her hometown to pay tribute to her parents.

arrived at Qiantang by boat and accompanied Liu Fei back to the fishing village, but to the surprise of the two, the small fishing village where more than 20 households once lived is now only ruin.

Liu Feifei stood indifferently at the entrance of the village, looking around, overgrown with weeds, and when she got close to her parents' tombs, she saw that there were many new graves around.

was about to ask carefully, but heard Su Yan say: "When I came over, I saw that you were very happy, so I didn't say anything." Last time on the boat, I inquired with a fishing uncle and said that three years ago, there was a plague epidemic in the fishing village here, most of the people were infected, and some of the people who were alive left here......"

Liu Feifei tearfully called out a long list of familiar names, familiar neighbors, and tears couldn't stop sliding down. The two swung their swords and found a coconut tree nearby, about one person tall, and after opening it, Liu Feifei used a red-hot iron head to brand the names of his parents on the wood. muttered about how he had come over the past few years and how he had learned his skills.

At night, they found a house to shelter from the cold in a dilapidated fishing village, and the two relied on each other to keep warm.

For the first time in several years, Liu Feifei curled up in Su Yan's arms like a wounded child, muttering about how prosperous and worry-free the fishing village was in the past, and the vivid people of the fishing village in her memory also appeared in Su Yan's mind.

"Senior sister, Aunt Shui is the most enthusiastic, but she is not forgiving, but she is really capable, the fish she makes is the most delicious, and she is also the most good at mending fishing nets.

Uncle Shui is the least talkative person in the village, and he only has two or three words every time he talks. Someone asked him, 'What kind of fish did your daughter-in-law make today?' He would say, 'Delicious fish,' and answer it would be like no answer." When someone asks him about his family, he always just says, 'It's good', and it's good to ask anyone. He always wore a dark gray shirt with short sleeves, even in winter, and a torn felt hat on his head......

My father was the most industrious man in the village, and he was always the first to go out to sea to fish, and he would not come back until he had a full cabin of fish. He likes to listen to the sound of seabirds singing, and he likes to wake up in the middle of the night and run to my mother's grave and say that our family is getting better and better, and that he will save me for a dowry.

Langhua is the best girl in our village to sing, always wearing two pigtails, wearing an apron with white flowers on a blue background, standing on the big rock at the head of the village, singing, waiting for her father to come home from fishing. ”

I don't know how long later, Liu Feifei fell asleep in a whisper.

Su Yan was in a turbulent mood, she seemed to see those simple and kind people in the fishing village, they came from strange but familiar places, they laughed, they were honest.

Su Yeon couldn't sleep anymore, so she left the hut and stood at the head of the village, lit an oil lamp, and began to paint.

The reality is the most ruthless, those lovely fishermen are gone, leaving only these abandoned houses, silently confirming how prosperous this place was once and how paradise it was.

It's just that now, there is no prosperity for a long time, and it has changed into a desert.

Between the walls and grass, there are occasional grass foxes and hares, and sometimes groups of rats are foraging in all directions. Without a house to live in, the rats are also thin and thin, and they have lost their dependence on human food to provide food, and even they seem to have lost their backbone.

Liu Feifei woke up, probed with his hand, it was empty, and he was suddenly so frightened that he didn't feel sleepy: "Senior sister, senior sister!" She called twice, but no one answered.

A burst of fear that had never struck him, Liu Feifei was immersed in the wave of fear, and looked around in a panic.

The sky was slightly bright and hazy.

She looked at the two burdens on the side of the broken bed, picked up the burden, ran to the outside of the village, searched for it, and finally saw a person standing under the big rock at the head of the village, "Woo...... Masters! Suddenly aggrieved, he was about to cry, "I thought you didn't want me anymore, scared me to death." Senior sister, why don't you say a word when you leave? ”

So-yeon looked up and smiled at her, just like the past few years, a joke represents all the words. fell into Liu Feifei's eyes, which made her feel at ease.

When she approached Su Yan, she saw that she was painting a painting, a very large painting, three times the size of all the scrolls in Liu Feifei's impression.

Liu Feifei suddenly burst into flames: "Senior sister painted so well, it was Aunt Shui who beat the child, and it was Uncle Shui who sat on the bow of the boat; The waves stand on the stones and sing, and my father speaks at my mother's grave; And I'm crouching on the ground looking at turtles...... The eldest sister of the Hai family is mending the fishing nets, and the sister-in-law is doing laundry; Also, there are fishing boats on the sea that have just returned to the village......"

A touch of ink, deep remembrance, restores the tranquility and peace of the fishing village in the past, those lifelike characters jumped on the paper, seeing Liu Feifei's eyes flashing, full of admiration, "Senior sister, there are some people, I will tell you." ”

A piece of paper, another piece of paper, add and add another character.

Liu Feifei gushed endlessly, thinking of almost everyone in the fishing village she could remember, the Zhang family's dog barking when she saw someone dressed beautifully, the Li family's cat that always steals the neighbor's fish, and the chicken that was chased around by the Wang family's children.

So-yeon has never been like this, she just feels that the blood is boiling all over her body, driving her to draw everyone. Finally, I had to draw a fish merchant from the city, haggling with an uncle, who was riding a horse and carrying a carriage, and someone was carrying a basket of fish into the cart......

Su Yan's painting took three days, Liu Feifei took on the work of making food, went to the beach every day, picked up sea crabs to make sea crabs, and picked up sea fish to steam sea fish.

"Senior sister, will you give me this painting?"

"Okay, but you have to put it together first, and you have to frame it. Otherwise, the painting is not easy to store. Let's go back to the city first, find a place, see if there is anything that needs to be modified in this painting, Mr. said that Danqing uses ink in a proper shade, otherwise it will lose its original charm. ”

This year's New Year, Su Yan and Liu Feifei spent it in Qiantang City, and when it came to the New Year, there was no business in the inn, so they spent the New Year with the shopkeeper's family.

On the third day of the new year, Su Yan and Liu Feifei were about to leave Qiantang, but when they were hiring a boat, they met several fireworks women who also came to rent a boat.

A fat woman's voice: "What, your ship was rented out early in the morning?" ”

"No, I rented it a year ago, and for fear of an accident, I packed it all this month."

"Mom, if there is no boat, how will Sister Linglong go to Dongting Lake to participate in the Oiran Competition."

"That's it, that's it, let's go, and ask the others."
