This is not so much an island as a shallow beach high above the water, but in fact it is not far from the shore, hidden in the vast reeds, and it is impossible to enter without an acquaintance.

In the summer, there are so many mosquitoes that they bite people, and more than half of them can be submerged during the flood season, and there are also times when they are completely submerged if they are flooded. This is not a paradise, but a place of refuge for those who have no way to live.

There are more than 20 families living in total, and if you count on your fingers, everyone can count them as distant relatives, and they don't know how far away they are, and it is estimated that ten fingers may not be enough.

The first person to live here is the grandfather of the lotus, the nephew of the third aunt of the old loach, this relationship is already close, also because of the death lawsuit, escaped into the lake and stumbled here, and settled here.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the old loach kills people and falls into the grass, and everyone else has moved here for one or another helpless reason, they are not real water thieves, so decades have passed, and there are only these people, and they usually have little contact with the outside. The days are not good, nor are they bad, the only good thing is the rare tranquility.

Since the way of selling fish has been changed according to the method of prawns, everyone's income has increased a lot, and they can buy other things besides the necessities of life such as salt and food. Today is the monthly buying day, and everyone has come to the humble pier on the island early. The happiest thing is the children, a piece of candy, a piece of snacks, and a two-foot head rope can make them happy for a long time.

Prawns naturally have to go, in addition to taking his own things, he also has to help the big guy settle accounts, everyone feels that the number of times the fire head enters the city has become slippery, especially once the price of salt has been reduced, and he has not returned the remaining money.

Running errands for everyone in vain, but not being trusted, makes the fire head hurt a lot. That day, he just bought a three-foot flower cloth, and forgot to offer it to the lotus flowers in a hurry. Anyway, once the trust collapses, it can't be built, so the prawns become an account room, mainly to supervise the fire. Look at other people's accounts, you don't even need to look at the abacus, after all, you worked as a buddy in a big restaurant.

"Oops, the prawns are here."

"Oh, Uncle Qin didn't go fishing today!"

"No, yesterday I fished out a dead man's bones and tore all the nets, and today I am at home to mend the nets."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, is your son still crying at night?"

"Don't cry, thanks to you, you don't have to write about the night crying."

"On a hot day, the child's diaper can't be wrapped so tightly anymore, and they all get prickly heat......

As he was talking, there was a sound of small footsteps, and I saw a slender girl, covering her face and running away in a hurry.

"It's a lotus!" I don't know who shouted, everyone laughed, and then looked at the prawn with ambiguous eyes, and saw that the prawn was red and red, really like a cooked shrimp.

Time passed little by little, seeing that the sun had reached the end of the day, everyone couldn't help muttering, the time of the fire has always been very accurate, is something wrong?

Uncle Qin said: "Prawn, do you think you should tell her father about the lotus, and take a few people out to have a look!" "After all, Lotus's family is the earliest resident here, and the island's grandpa has to ask Lotus's grandfather to take an idea, and then Lotus's grandfather died, so he listened to Lotus's father.

"Lotus's father is at my house, and he and my grandfather are discussing things. Please ask Uncle Qin, I'm here to guard. ”

Uncle Qin smiled: "Aren't you discussing your marriage with Lotus?" When they heard this, they laughed again.

Prawn waved his hand again and again, "Don't make fun of me, it's important to get down to business......"

Before he had finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound in the reeds, the sound of the reeds breaking, and he saw a violent shaking in the reeds in the distance.

"Huh? Is the fire head back? Everyone brushed towards the only entrance and exit near the docks.

It is surrounded by lush reeds, and near the pier there is an entrance and exit cut with a sickle, leading to a natural waterway in the reeds. However, these artificially carved waterways are relatively narrow, allowing only one small boat to pass through, one is for concealment, and the other is unnecessary.

Uncle Qin frowned, "No, looking at this movement, it seems that a big ship is about to come in." Hey, that's right, it's a ship with a fire head! ”

A boat appeared in the waterway, and Firehead was crouching in the bow, and behind him were several sturdy men.

"Why did Huotou bring outsiders in!" Everyone shouted that bringing outsiders in without everyone's consent was the biggest taboo here. When the prawns first came, thanks to the lotus daddy, everyone reluctantly accepted it. What is the fire head doing with so many people at once?

Just when everyone was in astonishment, they saw a big ship rushing into the waterway following the small boat with a fire head, and the wide hull of the boat crushed the reeds on both sides like fried beans, and they fell down one after another, like a fierce beast in the water.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the appearance of Huotou clearly, he was tied up with five flowers, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his mouth was stuffed, and he couldn't make any sound. If people don't understand what happened now, then it's really something.

"Run! Officers and soldiers are coming! I don't know who shouted, and everyone immediately ran away as birds and beasts, and just now they were full of expectations that the children would immediately cry, make a mess, and run home one after another.

In the panic, the prawn only felt that his wrist was tight, and he was pulled away, "You kid don't run, what are you doing in a daze!" “

The old loach pulled the prawns to run into the house, he was not young, but his legs and feet were not slow at all, and he closed the door without saying a word.

Prawn said with a bitter face: "Grandpa, I think we should run into the lake and the reeds!" ”

The old loach slapped his head, "Look at me confused, I see everyone running home...... Walk! As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of men with knives, who had already rushed off the boat, and they did not go from house to house to arrest people, but divided into several teams, and surrounded more than 20 families in the blink of an eye.

The old loach hurriedly bolted the door of the room, "Hide under the bed!" “

Prawn looked down and saw that there were already three small ones under the bed, huddled together like quails, "Brother, come over here!" The big fish pointed to the side, and the prawn hurriedly squeezed over, and then the old loach also came in. The whole island was quiet at this moment, and the family huddled under the bed even dared to breathe, only each other's heartbeats, and there seemed to be a high-pitched and excited voice......

"Follow me! My house is right here! Xiao Yu'er, who acted as the leader of the party, enthusiastically showed Zhu Wenying the way, and at the same time hugged the full leather bag in his arms tightly, and when he got home, he banged on the door and said: "Water chestnut come and open the door for me, I'll bring you delicious food!" They gave me a lot of good food! ”

The four people under the bed sighed in unison when they heard Xiao Yu'er's words, and the water chestnut was really ready to move, and was glared at by Grandpa fiercely, and then retracted back into the middle of the big fish and the little turtle.

"Isn't there no one?" Zhang Wuliu asked.

Xiao Yu'er pouted and replied: "Someone's, someone's, just now I saw my grandfather on the boat pulling my brother into the house!" "The people under the bed can see each other's expressions.

Lao Liu walked out of the dilapidated grass shed, where was the kitchen, he held a silver knife in his hand, and handed it to Zhu Wenying.

Zhu Wenying was overjoyed, "Yes, my uncle must be inside!" He kicked the dilapidated wood door open, "Uncle! ”

"Your Excellency!" Lao Liu and Zhang Wuliu rushed in after him.

No one, without waiting for them to ask, the little fish pointed them in the direction, "Under the bed!" ”

"Uncle!" Zhu Wenying fell to the ground violently, poked his head under the bed, and kicked his big foot directly in the face.
