The general took a deep breath: "We can't wait. The sun had completely set below the sea level, and darkness was overwhelming. "Ah Lian, why are you unhappy today?" Ah Er lifted his bare feet and rested on the side of the boat, picked up a fresh conch, pursed his lips and sucked it, his mouth was full of fishy and fresh juice. The full moon is like a mirror, illuminating the cold and cold surface of the sea. Ah Lian sat on the side of the boat, lifted her skirt, and her feet splashed with the water, but she didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Ah Lian?" "Oh, today my father brought someone to propose, the son of a merchant, with a mouth full of yellow teeth, staring at my chest as soon as he entered the door, disgusted to death," Ah Lian pursed her lips, her brows full of worry. Her family is not wealthy, and the dowry is a big investment, and her father has been carrying this day for a long time. She is like a flower, and her father is like those lustful rich children in the neighborhood, impatiently waiting for her to mature and develop to pick, but some people care about her body and some people care about money.

Ah Er's heart trembled and he sat up straight. Seeing Ah Lian sitting on the side of the boat, I almost couldn't help but hug her fiercely, the sea breeze was blowing so much, as if if she didn't hug her, she would be blown away and never be able to get it back. But he didn't dare, what else could a poor fisherman's child think? Neither he nor his brother could eat enough. Ah Er's chest was empty for a while, and he sat for a long time, and slowly fell back into the cabin. Ah Da was sorting out the fishing nets on the shore, and the two brothers only had a broken boat and a net, and only this sea kept them.

After being quiet for a long time, Ah Lian saw that he didn't speak, and she was a little puzzled, she knew that the two brothers liked her, but for such a big thing, Ah Er didn't say a word, which surprised her. "Ah Er, Ah Er? Asleep? "No," Ah Er turned over lazily and turned his back to his face, "I was thinking that you were going to get married, and our brothers had to follow the ceremony, but your husband's family may not be able to see our broken things, so I'm worried." He said that he didn't care, but a sad word came out by himself, but it seemed that a salty tear flowed back into his heart, so he turned his back, afraid that Ah Lian would see it.

"Stingy!" Ah Lian wrinkled her nose and glanced at him fiercely, "I'll push it off." Dad said forget it this time, but next time ......" "Pushed it off?" Ah Er relaxed. "Dad said to look for it next time, first, the family has money, and second, I have to see it, and I have to be satisfied," Ah Lian whispered with her hair, but she didn't have much hope for her father. "Speaking of which," Ah Eryu hesitated, "Ah Lian, what kind of husband are you looking for?" ”

Ah Lian knows what he thinks in his belly, and she also knows his slippery head, among the two brothers, she prefers Ah Er, although Ah Er always plays tricks on her, but she is much smarter, and she can often guess her thoughts, but the dead duck has a hard mouth, and she refuses to say anything to Ah Lian, which makes her a little indignant. "Me? I don't want to be rich," Ah Lian glanced at him, "I think he should be able to read, know a lot of things, be in a lot of places, and tell me stories in the evening." His eyes should be big, quiet, but not fierce, sometimes laughing, but still quiet......"

She suddenly stopped, and as she spoke, she remembered the young patron in the evening, and his quiet eyes, clear as water, like a starry sky. She clasped her hands between her knees, her face burned slightly, and her feet were cold and cold with the sea. Under the same moonlight, Qianjun stood quietly on the sea. His blue-gray robe was hula-la-la by the sea breeze, and the cold water under his feet rose and fell, leaving a delicate white foam like pearls on the sand, and the white sand of bluestone seemed to glow silver in the moonlight. If you look closely, the beach is full of life, with small hermit crabs digging holes in the sand and spitting out blisters, turtles that move like stones crawling up the beach to lay eggs, and flying fish occasionally leaping on the surface of the sea in the distance, their wings glowing silver and transparent.

In all the vitality, Qianjun didn't pay attention to anything. He looked out at the sea in the distance, as if he wanted to blend into the endless black. After a long silence, he took out a large stone crab like a samurai in armor from the fish basket. The crab waved its pincers at him vigorously, and Qianjun looked at it, smiled slightly, put it on the sand, and touched its back shell. "Go, go home," he said.

The stone crab just ran away, and the sea rose and fell, and the guy suddenly disappeared, leaving only Qianjun still standing on the beach, waving his hand, as if saying goodbye. Under his long robe, in the leather bag around his waist was a jade-colored porcelain vase. He took out the porcelain vase, looked at the reflection of the stars and moon, and then gently pressed the bottle to his face, as if it were gently touching someone's cheek. "We're going to sea soon, the real sea, it's really immense, do you see? Today I heard that on the other side of the sea is the abyss, very deep, very deep, if a person falls into it, he will never die, and he will never end up, so he keeps flying down, and he keeps flying...... Flying down......" His dreamy whispers were crumpled in the sea breeze and quietly dispersed into the air, and no one could hear them, maybe only the soul in the blue jade bottle.

He just smiled softly and said lightly, and that smile seemed to have been barren for hundreds of years. The clouds rise fast. It was only half a bag of cigarettes, and it had already rolled over the zenith, swallowing up the brilliant light of the late evening. The surface of the sea darkened almost instantly, and the white sky was full of mist.

The cold sea breeze swirled between the turbulent sampans, and the bag of cigarettes in Zhu Yue's hand could not be lit, so he clamped the oar with his knees and struck the white copper smoke pot on the deck in annoyance. When the coals in his hand were blown out again, he suddenly remembered the guy who had been hiding in his cloak. "If only Wang Yimi were on the boat." Zhu Yue resigned himself to putting down the cigarette gun and put both hands on the handle. He looked up at the lighthouse on Bo, cleared his throat, and said to the three soldiers on the ship, "Hurry up, you should go back after taking these two cages." ”

The city guards were busy, either lying on the side of the boat to watch the water, or collecting the hemp ropes one by one. The soldier with a big shoulder and a round waist who was holding the rope at the bow of the boat heard Zhu Yue say this, and put down the hemp rope in his hand. "Brother Yue," he said with a hippie smile, "or you are a woman!" Who is on the blog today? That's General Zhang! To put it mildly, even if you are on the Bo yourself, you may not be able to be more careful than that kid. Everyone laughed, and when did Da Lan's mouth spit out good words.

"What if it's a little ugly?" Zhu Yue asked quietly, his feet tugging in the cabin, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a half-dead earth eel from the wet bilge. Having said that, he also knew that Da Lan was right, with Zhang Yudi on the tower, there shouldn't be any problems. Da Lan saw the opportunity very quickly, saw Zhu Yue's unfazed appearance, knew that there was nothing good, hurriedly freed up a hand to wave, and his mouth moved quickly: "Brother Yue, you have no self-cultivation, but you are also the deputy lieutenant of the city guard, how can our Yanzibo's chief not even listen to the truth, let's make a bet, if the lights on the tower are not lit up in these three cages, I will avoid it tonight, just because I haven't caught anything......"

Zhu Yue waved his hand, and the slimy earth eel accurately passed through Da Lan's wildly waving arm, smashed it on his face, and said with a smile: "What did you catch today?" But there is a face to say! Da Lan rubbed his mucus-stained cheeks with his shoulder, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother Yue, your hands are black!" Today's luck is not good, but there are still seven or eight arrests. At this time, the other two soldiers also straightened up. The tender-looking little soldier beside Da Lan learned from Zhu Yue's appearance, stretched out his hand and wanted to scrape the back of Da Lan's head, but was glared at by Da Lan's big eyes: "It's against you, Xiao Gu!" Gu Ren hurriedly retracted his hand, and his mouth was not convinced.

"Be shameless! There are still seven or eight......" he kicked the basket in the middle of the cabin, "If it weren't for me and Liu Weitong, everyone would have come out to drink the sea breeze today!" Liu Butong, who had just looked at the water color beside him, raised his arms high and stretched out three fingers at Da Lan: "Three!" Just three! One was too small and I threw it back into the sea. Even though Da Lan's face was thick, he couldn't hang it at this time, and the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he lowered his head to collect the hemp rope, and muttered in his mouth: "As for it, it's five or six worse, and it's so ugly." Probably annoyed in his heart, his hand was too strong, and the hemp rope "snapped" on the waves.

Liu Butong hurriedly jumped to his side, pressed his hand, and said hurriedly: "Tap and tap, it's so fierce, it's strange that the crab didn't scare away!" If you can catch three or two like this, it's shit luck. "The basket in the middle of the cabin was full of dark blue shell armor, and the tips of a pair of large pincers flashed with a little white light, which made people swallow when they looked at it. The blue crab at the mouth of the Bad Water River is notoriously delicious, and if it is in the restaurant of Tianyuan City, it is the seafood that only the rich and wealthy are willing to taste.

Every year in September and October, the mouth of the Bad Water River is full of crab boats with sharp heads and wide tails, even from so far away and the town. It's just that there are many reefs in the mouth of the bad water, and crab fishing is a desperate job, and the crab boat has such a shallow draft that it sinks more than a dozen every year. As soon as the crab flood is over, the crab boats will retreat one after another, and the bad water estuary will return to its former deserted appearance. In fact, crabs are available all year round, but there are only a few of them. If you go to the reef to catch fish, the risk is much greater, and fishermen rarely take such risks to catch crabs on the reef in the wind and rain. It would be an exaggeration to say that these soldiers are more familiar with water than men at sea.

It's just that first, none of these soldiers from top to bottom are not greedy, and second, a few big men just guard a stone tower every day It's really boring. Zhu Yue nodded, and a few people scraped together some money to buy a tattered sampan from the nearby fishing village of Damengzui, and went to the reef every once in a while to look for seafood. It was impossible for Zhu Yue not to nod. The seven soldiers stationed in Yanzibo are all the establishment of the bluestone city guard. The bluestone armies, the city guards are waiting all the way, not within the six armies, and the supplies and equipment are very shabby.

Thinking of the title of this city guard, Zhu Yue felt funny: Yan Zibo is more than 100 miles away from Bluestone City, just an empty lighthouse, and even Damengzui next to it is just a small fishing village with fifty or sixty people, I don't know which way he is the city guard? It's just that this bird place is really remote, and it is impossible to send the elite of the six armies in the city, so you can only ask the city guards to fill in the blanks. Qingshi City only sent troops to deliver food once every two months, and if the weather was bad, this time in two months it would be delayed. The city guards had no choice but to raise chickens and grow vegetables on the wasteland under Boxia, and the work spent in the field was far more than dancing knives and guns. Buying a boat can go to sea to fight tooth sacrifices, which is better than eating boiled pumpkin with eggs and boiled eggs with vegetables every day...... Otherwise, the mouth will be so light that hair grows.

Liu Butong carefully put away the hemp rope, and his eyes widened. Every time he goes to the sea, he shows his spirit, and he no longer has the lazy appearance of weekdays. Seeing a big circle slowly emerging in the seawater, it is the crab pot. The crab pot is made of wicker, and it looks like a cauldron, or a half-buckled cauldron, because the mouth of the pot is also covered by a wicker lattice. Take the chicken bones that are very fragrant and tie them to the bottom of the pot and sink them on the reef plate, and soon there are blue crabs crawling into the crab pot. The blue crab is very alert, if the crab pot is not carefully collected, the blue crab will jump out of the opening before it comes out of the water. Da Lan has a rough temperament and always lets the blue crabs escape when the crab pot comes out of the water. Liu Butong is much more skilled, and when the crab pot is close to the water, he exerts his strength, and with a flick of his wrist, the wet crab pot flies into the cabin.

"Look! Look! Liu Butong saw the cage clearly, and grinned behind his ears. There are three blue crabs in the crab pot, and the big one is actually the size of a bowl. After catching this half-day crab, it is the most abundant harvest in this cage. "It's my cage!" Da Lan couldn't wait to show his work, and reached out to catch the big crab. Before his hand reached into the cage, he saw the crab claws clamped very quickly, and there was a crisp sound of "click" in everyone's ears, like a metal strike. Da Lan took a step back in fright and sat on the board. The blue crab's pincers are powerful, and the crab feet of this size can clip off the fingers of ordinary people. Da Lan took a deep breath and was about to speak, when his eyes opened, and he suddenly smiled again: "I said! Isn't it ......"

Looking at Da Lan's line of sight, it turned out that the stone tower on Yanzibo lit up when no one was paying attention. Zhu Yue squinted his eyes and said, "This Zhang Yudi, isn't it possible that he has been guarding the tower?" By the time the four men walked towards the barracks with the baskets, it was already completely dark. The dull sound of the wind suddenly became fierce, and it made people's hearts panic. Zhu Yue looked at the black and oppressive waves on the sea, which crashed into the beach one after another, frowned and said, "It's changed, I'm afraid it will rain at night." ”

Lao Jiu also looked back and gasped: "How can this wave look scary!" "It's scary to see everything." "When it rains, it rains, and the sampans are dragged up anyway." Let's drink and eat crabs behind closed doors, and we will live faster when the wind and rain are strong! ”
