Remember [800โ Little รท Say โ Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The early nineties of the last century was a period of time when China's economic development entered an accelerated period.
At that time, the phrase "hard work can get rich" resounded all over the country.
Almost all Chinese people are proud of hard work and ashamed of laziness.
Even talking about the object, the first requirement is to find a diligent person, these things can be seen through from Mr. Song Dandan's former Spring Festival Gala sketch "Lazy Blind Date".
In a small fishing village on the shore of the East China Sea, there are 132 hard-working families, but there are 133 households in the whole village.
So what does the rest of the household do?
The answer is, do nothing.
That's right, the male owner of the family mentioned separately is a man who doesn't do anything, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping all day long, he never does anything serious, and he is simply "lazy to open the door for his son - lazy to get home".
But even so, the lazy man still married his daughter-in-law and had a baby.
Why is a lazy man, who is so poor that his family is surrounded by walls, that he can still marry a daughter-in-law in the end?
It's all because of what a Taoist priest said.
The Taoist priest said that after the lazy man has thirty years, the first year of his descendant's birth, he must have a prosperous family and a rich family.
When he said this, the lazy man was already twenty-nine, and the people in the entire small fishing village regarded this matter as a joke after dinner, holding back their strength to see how the lazy man who was not married at that time was "thirty years old".
Unexpectedly, on the seventh day after the Taoist priest left, the lazy man walked around the beach and picked up a young and beautiful woman.
No one knows where this woman came from.
When she woke up, she couldn't remember who she was, and finally lived in the lazy man's house and became the lazy man's daughter-in-law.
If the daughter-in-law has it, will the child be far away?
A year passed, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, when the lazy man was just over thirty years old, the daughter-in-law who picked it up really gave birth to a big fat boy.
That night, the child's cry overshadowed the sound of firecrackers in every house, and the whole village admired the Taoist priest of Youfang.
Subsequently, he began to hold back his efforts to see how the lazy man "prospered and became rich".
Not to mention anything else, just saying that this is the first "year" of having a child, and the lazy man may not be able to live well.
I've been lazy for 30 years, my family is so poor that I need help from my neighbors to eat.
How can a newborn child be fed?
But don't say it, this lazy man is not a person without conscience.
The day after the child was born, he took up the fishing net pocket that had not been used for many years and went to the sea to catch fish, in order to let his daughter-in-law and children have a good meal.
Good idea, worthy of praise,
But the problem is, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Although there is no ice and snow in the East China Sea, the fishing season is already past the cold days, and it is difficult for the lazy to catch fish no matter how diligent they are.
From morning till night, the lazy man blew a cold wind on the seashore for a day and found nothing.
When he was about to pick up the net and go home disappointed, there was movement in the net.
When I opened it, there was only one fish in the net pocket, and it was still a big fish estimated to be twenty or thirty pounds, but this fish looked too strange.
The small pointed beak, small eyes, head and tail combined are the size of half a palm, but the body of the fish is surprisingly large, bulging into a round ball, and the top half of the car is round.
Lazy people are lazy, but not stupid.
He recognized this fish as the "pot-bellied fish" that everyone in the village respected.
The potbelly fish is uncommon, and it is a master who eats everything in the sea.
It is said that this fish has no internal organs and is born with a mouth that only knows how to eat and never digests. When it waits, it can't eat anymore, its belly is broken, and its life comes to an end.
People who are particular about it think that this kind of fish is not clean, and if there is something poisonous in the stomach, if you get it home, you will be looking for death.
Superstitious people think that the pot-bellied fish was sent by the Sea Dragon King to patrol the sea, and when it is full, it returns to the Dragon Palace, and the Sea Dragon King sees what it has in its belly, and knows what is in the sea.
Anyway, no matter what kind of person you catch, you must throw the potbelly fish back into the sea.
This is a rule handed down from our ancestors.
The lazy man knew this, but he couldn't go home empty-handed after a busy day's work.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to take this potbelly fish back and cook it.
The Sea Dragon King's rootless and shadowless things don't matter, and the boiled fish is eaten by the big yellow dog in the village first, as long as it is sure that it is not poisonous.
When the lazy man returned home, he didn't tell his daughter-in-law, but ran to the kitchen with the fish.
If you don't have internal organs, you don't need to clean it up, if you are dizzy, go to remove the fish scales, and just throw it in the pot and stew.
Who knew that as soon as this fish was in the pot, it would be terrible.
When the water boils, the smell of fish overflows, and with the water vapor drifts out, attracting the whole village.
Everyone grew up eating fish, but no one had ever smelled such a fragrant smell of fish, and everyone gathered at the door of the lazy man's house.
There are amazed lazy people who fish.
There is a strange slacker stewed with some kind of fish.
Some people even thought of the words of the Taoist priest of Youfang, and felt that this was a sign of the prosperity of the lazy man's family.
The lazy man was not ambiguous, and when the fish was cooked, he went out with a large pot and put it at the door of the house.
The chopsticks in his hand poked the belly of the fish, and the two sides were opened, and the hot aroma of the guy came out, and everyone came up to take a look, and it was filled with red and clear sea shrimp.
It's a thin-skinned prawn with a lot of meat.
There are fifty pounds, and I can't count them.
That is, the pearl of the East China Sea, if it is placed in Qingdao, Eastern Province, it will definitely make the thief who said that the Taoist priest of You Fang is particularly accurate, just this fish belly Qingdao prawn in his hand, not the rich side What is it?
Ahem, that's a joke now.
In the 90s of the last century, 50 catties of prawns could not make a millionaire whether it was in Qingdao or Mingzhu, at most, it was for everyone in the village to taste it.
That night.
The lazy man ate the most delicious dinner in his life, and his wife and children were full of glory, and the neighbors greeted him with smiling faces.
Take advantage of this excitement.
Early the next morning, the lazy man got up early for the first time, put on his fishing net and went to the sea to catch fish.
Still a whole day of nothing, until the third pole of the month, the lazy man couldn't wait any longer, so he could only collect the net and go home, who knew that the last time he collected the net, he actually caught a pot-bellied fish.
This one has a bigger belly than the previous one.
The lazy man was overjoyed and went home with the fish in his arms.
This time, he learned to be obedient, and instead of putting the fish directly in the pot, he peeled off the belly of the fish with a knife and saw what was inside first.
Unexpectedly, this knife went down, and the first thing that was pulled out of it almost scared the lazy man into peeing his pants.
In the moonlight, the miserable white thing turned out to be a human hand.
The wound on the wrist was obviously cut off.
The lazy man was frightened, and it was not until the daughter-in-law in the house called out to him that he came to his senses, and hurriedly stuffed the severed hand into the belly of the fish.
But the busier it became, the more chaotic it became, and the severed hand didn't stuff it back, and something fell out of it.
The lazy man had the courage to take a closer look, it was a bulging black leather bag, and he went up and unzipped the purse, and when he looked closely, it was full of money.
How much money exactly, no one knows.
Even, no one knew that the lazy man had gone through such a thing.
The people in the village only knew that after the third day of the Lunar New Year that year, the lazy man was really "prosperous and rich".
Why mention this slacker?
Just because- ahem, Caven, water.
Everyone, don't rush to shoot bricks, listen to my explanation.
The lazy guy is not the point, the point is the pot-bellied fish that helped the lazy man make a fortune.
Back in the present era, the specific date was just a few days ago on the night.
East River fishing vessel operation area.
A small, battered fishing boat, waddling on the surface of the sea, sails towards the edge of the deep sea.
On the fishing boat are a few fishermen who have been trying to fish for a living all their lives, taking root and driving the boat so far in the middle of the night, just to catch some rare fish species, take them to the hotel in the big city of Mingzhu, and sell them at a good price.
It's a pity that the oyster clam with the big pearl in its fist was not caught, but a potbelly fish was caught.
The captain of the boat made a quick decision and asked people to throw the pot-bellied fish back into the sea.
But when the workers on the boat hurriedly got the potbelly fish out of the pockets of the fishing nets, everyone was dumbfounded.
The body of this pot-bellied fish was extremely distorted, and it was completely impossible to see the shape of the ball that it should have, but it seemed to be propped up by the contents of its stomach and turned into a long strip.
What's even weirder is that there's something glowing in the belly of the fish.
In the dark, even the faintest light can attract the attention of the human eye.
All of them were born and raised in the East China Sea, and they must have heard the story of a lazy man thirty years ago.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, a bold one picked up the fish knife and went up to pick the belly of the pot-bellied fish.
Clank.
Something fell out of the fish's belly.
If you look closely, it's clearly a scroll with an antique atmosphere.
Got an antique?
The captain's heart instantly lifted, rushed closer, grabbed the scroll, and slowly pulled it away.
As he moved, thunder exploded in the dark night sky.
When the scroll was fully opened, before everyone could see what it looked like, lightning struck down in the air.
The whole ship - gone.
"Gone?"
In the professor's office of the Pearl Academy of Fine Arts, Li Nannan asked in surprise with wide eyes, completely unable to believe that these things that Shen Qingwu told were all facts.
"Such a big fishing boat, with seven or eight people, can it still disappear with a single thunderbolt? Did the ship sink to the bottom, or did aliens take them away? โ
"I don't know, I led people to search for three whole days, but they didn't find anything. The whole boat, the people on board, disappeared into thin air, along with the scroll. โ
Shen Qingwu replied categorically.
Li Nannan fell completely silent.
A few days ago, when he first came to Shen Qingwu's office at the Pearl Academy of Fine Arts, he concentrated on studying the two civilian versions of virtual reality instruments.
But Shen Qingwu answered the phone and said goodbye.
Now it seems that the call that Miss Shen received must have been entrusted by the senior management to go to the East China Sea to investigate the accidental disappearance of the fishing boat.
It's a pity that I didn't find out any results, so I caught up with Helan Fusu's wedding.
She returned to the shore and accompanied the old man of the Shen family to the Seven Star Manor.
"One thing is certain, the antique scroll caught by the fishing boat is a picture of an ancient lady. What was once circulated in Wolong Mountain, Sichuan, and has been handed down since Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty, was thrown into the sea by Elder Liu Chengji of the Flame Valley some time ago. The reappearance caused such a strange supernatural event. โ
Shen Qingwu explained seriously.
Li Nannan didn't know what to say.
Lao Tzu's heirlooms, can they still be so magically useful?
Lose the whole ship at once, don't you want to be so.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly glad that he didn't give it to his wife at the beginning, in case his wife opened it one day and accidentally disappeared, the old man would not have to kill him.
But at this point, there's a problem.
Li Nannan looked up at Shen Qingwu and asked, "So, in the end, did your father say why he let me stay in Mingzhu?" โ
