Hong Tao originally wanted to talk to the man who was rocking the oars at the stern, but a mouth was a mouthful of seawater, and after trying several times, he gave up. Let's be honest as a dead dog, let's talk about what to do ashore, although these two people saved themselves, Hong Tao decided to make them suffer a little because they were too rude to themselves.

The island was soon revealed, it was too small, less than 200 meters wide, full of stones, said to be an island, in fact, it was a group of reefs exposed to the sea, and there were no buildings on the island, so it was very appropriate to describe it as not growing grass. The boat didn't want to go to the island, but just passed by the island, and then Hong Tao vaguely saw that there seemed to be a continent in front of him, and he saw a few boats that looked similar on the sea.

As he got closer and closer to that continent, Hong Tao's body became colder and colder, and his teeth began to tremble. The boat dragged him for about ten kilometers, but fortunately there were no schools of sailfish or sharks here, otherwise it would have been a big problem if he had himself on the rope when he reached the shore. Not only is it cold on the body, but also cold in the heart, wow cool wow cool. Why? Because there are more and more small boats encountered, no matter how big or small, they all have a common feature, that is, they are in tatters and have no mechanical power, except for the sailboat, which is rocked by people with an oar at the back. The people on the ship were also dressed in the same way as their boat, just one word, broken! Patches are already the norm, and stacks of patches are not uncommon.

Hong Tao is very good at analyzing, he pondered and pondered, but he didn't figure out that China could have such a state of coastal villages and towns. If there is, it must become a nationally renowned tourist destination, but unfortunately he has been working in a travel company for several years and has never heard of it. If not, then what does it mean that they are speaking Chinese again? That can only mean one thing, the times are different, in other words, Hong Tao feels that he has crossed over 99% again. As for what era he has traveled to, he can't tell exactly. Judging from the fact that there are no motor boats, it should be before liberation, but not the Qing Dynasty, because the two of them did not have braids. However, both of them have long hair, and it should not be the Republic of China, so it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty or further forward.

"I'm going to make a plank for you! You're a fool! After making an assessment in his heart, Hong Tao simply lay on the sea with the rope, anyway, it was a dead dog, and it didn't matter what posture it was. What's more important is that he wants to communicate with that thing in the sky, see if he can talk about the conditions, don't let himself travel to ancient times, and put this bit of knowledge in his head into ancient times! It's a pity that after muttering for a long time, the voice that used to talk to himself in a state of confusion never appeared.

Before Hong Tao could connect with the one in the sky, the speed of the boat suddenly slowed down, and a woman's voice appeared, greeting the people on the boat. Hong Tao turned over with the rope, only to find that he was almost to the shore, and there were three larger wooden boats floating on the water, side by side. A woman in a blue shirt and pants with a floral headscarf is waving at her. At this time, she also found Hong Tao in the water, and was very surprised, and couldn't help covering her mouth and staring at Hong Tao with wide eyes.

"Grandpa! …… ¥%¥#......&"This girl is not tall, her skin is very dark, about 20 years old, the blue pants on the lower body are very short and thick, hanging to the calf, and her bare feet are a bit of a cropped pants in the future. The jacket is also dark blue like the trousers, except that the neckline and cuffs have a black trim, and the style is very old, a bit like the round-necked cloth gown of the Ming and Qing dynasties. She was very bold, although she was startled by Hong Tao, she didn't run or hide, and asked the old man on the boat in a crisp voice, but unfortunately Hong Tao only understood one word, this old man seemed to be her grandfather.

"Turen ......&%¥¥&" The old man leaned the boat against the big boat, and while throwing the cable over, he replied, Hong Tao understood another word, Turen!

"I'm not a native, I'm a Han, a Han from Nanyang!" actually called himself a native, Hong Tao was very angry, he had already roughly seen what the origin of these people was, and he could start making up nonsense.

If you just see these two men, Hong Tao is not sure who they are, since the appearance of this woman, Hong Tao feels familiar, and after a little pondering, he thinks of a very peculiar nation, the Tan people! To be precise, the Tan people are not a nation, and there are many theories about their origin, some say that they are the descendants of the Nanyue people, some say that they are the descendants of the Qin people, and some say that they migrated from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and all ethnic groups have them.

The reason why they were called Tanmen was because their boat was high at both ends and had a shack in the middle, which looked round like an egg. This is not made up by Hong Tao, but what later generations will see in the museum of Sanya. Hong Tao has traveled here with a tour group more than once, not only on Hainan Island, but also in the entire coastal areas of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, and even Southeast Asian countries, and their unique living habits have become a local tourism project.

The Tan people have lived on the water for generations, and their villages are their villages with one boat and several boats in a row. In addition to fishing and shrimp, they also use boats to do a small business of transporting goods and carrying passengers. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Tan people moved to the land to live, but they still took the sea as their main activity area, such as operating fish rafts at sea and engaging in offshore farming.

The attire of the Tan people is very simple, the men are black or blue cloth trousers, the trouser legs are thick and short, and the feet are barefoot. Women's clothes are a little more elaborate, with one or several black trims on the cuffs, necklines, and trousers, and a monochrome or floral headscarf wrapped around their heads, and some will wear a bamboo hat on the headscarf. However, the Tan people have been very poor since ancient times, because the various dynasties discriminated against them, and basically did not allow them to live on the shore. Because they have been working at sea all the year round, they have developed a fierce character, fighting for their lives if they disagree, and they have no fixed place to live, which is not easy to manage.

"Go to sea for three lives, go ashore and bow your head." This is a portrayal of the life of the Tan people. Every time I go to sea, I don't know if I can come back, so I don't have the habit of storing, and I live a tight life, relying entirely on God to eat. Hong Tao once saw an old photo of the Tan family in a village in Sanya, a pair of pants with patches and patches, sewn as thick as canvas, which is the norm for the Tan family. So much so that the Han people call the clothes worn by the Tan family Jiurigan, which means that their clothes are washed and dried for nine days before they can be dried, and the patches are too thick.
