Zhoushan Island outside Ningbo Port, here is the fourth largest island in the southeast coast, in addition to Taiwan Island, Hainan Island and Chongming Island, the area of Zhoushan Island is the largest, in later generations, there are more than 400,000 people living on the island, Zhoushan is also famous for marine aquaculture.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the population of Zhoushan Island is not much, a total of only 30,000 or 40,000 people, the island originally had Changguo County, and later in order to guard against the Japanese invaders, the county was withdrawn and the Changguo Wei was set up, mainly used to guard against the threat of the sea off Ningbo.

Originally, Tang He planned to move the people of the entire Zhoushan Island to the inland last time, but fortunately he was stopped by Li Jie, and now there are not only local people on the island, but also the nine fishermen who moved before are also temporarily settled on the island.

The black man plunged into the sea, and did not see a man for a long time, and when he came out again, he had caught two arm-long fish in his hands, and then another man swam back to the shore, and there were already seven or eight big fish on the beach on the shore that he had caught before, and he took off his jacket, put the fish on his back, and walked towards the village not far away.

The black head and his father Wu Boss originally fished on Poyang Lake for a living, but they couldn't survive just by fishing, fortunately they met Zhang Dingbian to recruit fishermen, and Wu Boss had already seen Zhang Dingbian, so he quickly made a decision to move with Zhang Dingbian, after all, staying on Poyang Lake is also waiting for death, it is better to follow Zhang Dingbian to fight, not to mention that Zhang Dingbian also cured the blackhead's mother's illness.

The black head is a very bold young man, when he was in Poyang Lake, he wanted to take the risk of going out to make money, so when he learned that Zhang Dingbian was going to take them overseas, he was even more excited and couldn't sleep all night, in his opinion, instead of living in such a mess, it is better to tie his head to the waistband of his trousers, maybe he can fight for a future.

However, to the disappointment of the black heads, although they came here, his father Wu Boss did not allow them to participate in the drill, which was to select young men from among the fishermen and drill them in the way of the army, so as to form an army as quickly as possible.

However, not everyone can sign up, for example, the only son can't participate, and he can't participate without the latter, so he took up both, but his father Wu Boss, although he was a little older, but because he was literate, and he also learned a little martial arts when he was a child, he entered the army instead, and he also made a hundred households.

Thinking of this, the black head was also a little depressed, during this time he was familiar with the people under Master Zou, and he also heard them talk about life overseas, compared to their grievances on Poyang Lake, although these people are dangerous overseas, but at least they are at ease, especially the kind of life of eating meat and drinking a lot, which makes him yearn for it very much.

Soon the black head came to the village where he lived, saying that it was a village, in fact, it was a temporary settlement, the houses in the village were built very casually, there were many similar villages on Zhoushan Island, the black head had been to several nearby villages, most of them were the same as them, the ancestors were Chen Youliang's old department, most of these villages were built in batches, and most of the villages in a village were migrated from the same area.

"Blackhead is back." As soon as the black head came to the entrance of the village, he saw an old man sitting at the entrance of the village and greeted him.

"Third Master, why did you come out?" The black head saw the old man and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, this old man's surname is He, and his grandfather is a generation, and it is said that he also saved his grandfather's life on the battlefield, because the old man is three, so the black head usually calls him the third master.

"The sun is good here, come out and bask in the sun, how is your father?" The third master said and patted his knee with his hand that was missing half of his palm, his palm was lost on the battlefield, and his leg was because he lived on the water all the year round, and he had a serious old cold leg, and he couldn't sleep because of the pain every winter.

"It's okay, just don't let me go to the army!" The black head mentioned this incident with a stomach full of complaints.

"Hehe, your baby has been a bold since he was a child, it's not a joke to go to the battlefield, your family will leave you as a lone seedling, if something happens, your father won't have the face to see the ancestors of the Wu family!" When the third master heard this, he also smiled with his mouth open.

"I know the danger on the battlefield, but Brother He and they all went to the army, and I stayed at home to eat alone, which is really boring!" The black head is still a little unwilling, Brother He is the grandson of the third master, speaking of which, although the third master is disabled, he has five sons and more than a dozen grandchildren, and half of these people have entered the army to serve.

"Young people are aggressive, but you are exactly the same as grandpa, he was also a deadly master on the battlefield at the beginning, and he almost died on the battlefield several times, that is, because he was injured too much when he was young, so he left so early." The third master also sighed at the end, the old brothers who were with him at the beginning were almost gone, and most of the rest were sick and could no longer go to the battlefield.

"My grandfather is blessed, the third master, you are a blessed person, when we lay down overseas, you will wait to enjoy the blessings!" The black head saw that the third master was a little sad, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort.

The blackheads only know that they want to kill overseas, as for where to fight, Zou Pusheng and others did not tell them, after all, this is a military secret, but this does not prevent the blackheads from trusting them, after all, the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the blackheads and others are all responsible for Zou Pusheng and others.

"By the way, I caught a few fish and came back, the third master, you brought back two, the fish in this sea are more than the fish in the lake, and the fishy smell is not big, it is the best to cook it into fish porridge!" The black head said that the fish picked two of them, pulled a branch and skewered them, and then sent them to the third master.

The third master was not polite, took the fish and told again: "Although your kid has good water quality, but the sea is stormy, you should pay attention to the sea and don't swim too far." ”

"Third master, don't worry, I know it in my heart!" After the black head finished speaking, he said goodbye to the third master, and then walked towards home.

Blackhead's home is on the edge of the village, a small yard made of fences, and there are several shacks made of branches and thatch, although it looks very simple, but for the blackhead family who live on the water all year round, they are very satisfied to have a piece of land to live in.

"Girl, clean up the fish!" The black head pushed open the fence door and entered the courtyard, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Well, here we are!" The girl in the shack said yes crisply, and then saw the girl walking out in a new dress, and then took the black in the black head's hand and cleaned it up quickly.

The black head also washed his face with a basin of water, but when he saw the new clothes on the girl's body, he couldn't help laughing: "Why are you willing to work and wear new clothes, so you are not afraid of getting dirty?" ”

When she was in Poyang Lake, the girl and her mother only had one set of clothes, but now after coming here, Zou Pusheng gave them food and cloth, which gave the girl her first new clothes, but she was reluctant to wear them, and she usually had to change into the original old clothes when she worked.

"I do!" The girl's face turned red and her brother glanced at her and said, girls have a love for beauty, of course she likes to wear new clothes.

"I'm still shy, but sister, you've grown up, and it's time to talk about your in-laws." Blackhead teased again.

"You still have to think about yourself, I heard my mother say yesterday that our father is about to tell you about family affairs!" The girl is unrelenting.

"Talking about family? How did I not know? The black head was also stunned when he heard this, he still wanted to go to the battlefield, how could he get married so early?

But at this moment, I suddenly saw that the fence gate was pushed open, and Boss Wu in a military uniform walked in from the outside, compared to the downfall of a few months ago, the current Boss Wu seems to have changed as if he was a different person, not only his waist is straight, but he is also much stronger, the wrinkles on his face and the gray hair on his head are less than half, and he looks more than ten years younger.

"Dad, why are you here?" The black head was also stunned when he saw Boss Wu, because this time was the time for training in the army, and it was said that his father should stay in the army and not come back.

"It's a good thing, I just discussed with your Uncle Liu, and in a few days, I will let you marry the girl of the Liu family!" Boss Wu laughed happily, his son's family affairs have been decided, such a big matter, of course he has to take a leave of absence to come back and arrange it.

"Uncle Liu? Is the sister of the Liu family going to be my sister-in-law? The girl who was killing the fish also jumped up excitedly when she heard this, Sister Liu is a famous beauty in the village, the key is that she has a good personality, and the girl is also very familiar with each other, if the other party can become her sister-in-law, of course it is the best.

"I want to marry Uncle Liu's daughter!" The black head was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was also happy in his heart, after all, he also knew the daughter of the Liu family, it was a famous flower in the village, I don't know how many people want to marry home?

"It's not easy for your Uncle Liu to agree to this marriage, you guys quickly clean up the valuable things at home, I'll go and exchange a few catties of pork, and then pull a few feet of cloth, and give the dowry first, so as not to change the Liu family again!" Boss Wu immediately ordered again, fortunately, he is now a hundred households, although he has no privileges, but at least his status is higher than ordinary people, so the Liu family will agree to marry his daughter.

As soon as they heard that they were going to give a dowry, the black head and the girl immediately ran to clean up their things, and at this time, Boss Wu's mother-in-law also came out, and when she learned that her son was going to marry her daughter-in-law, she wiped her tears with joy, and immediately helped to clean up the valuable things at home.

But to be honest, Wu Lao's family is simply poor, and most people will have steep walls to describe people as poor, but the Wu family is good, there are not even four walls, only a few shacks, fortunately, all of them are very poor, so the dowry is also simple, a few catties of pork and a few feet of cloth are enough to settle the marriage.

Boss Wu's mother-in-law took out all the money in the family, which was when they moved and sold the boat, so they exchanged it for some copper coins, and there were a few other things that could be exchanged for money, such as a rusty waist knife, which was a relic left by Boss Wu's father, and it could be exchanged for some money, although it was not much, but it was enough for the blackhead to hold a wedding.
