Chapter 237: Little Brother, Open the Door!
"Sell fish! The best arrownose marlin! ”
"Adult big jasmine abalone, come, take a look here, it's a big meat!"
"What do you want to buy, 8 pounds of hammerhead bass? Howler! ”
Under the cloudless blue sky, there is an endless stream of shouts, and the crowded crowds fill the roads of the port, which is very lively.
This place is called Pearl Harbor, and behind the port is a simple and simple town, which is one of the abundant fresh aquatic products on Star Island.
The port town is located in the southwest of Starry Sky Island, occupying this coastal area, and it is not easy to say that the wind and rain are not smooth, but whether it is a heavy rain or a storm, this town of nearly 10,000 people has never suffered from rising water or tsunamis.
The reason for this is the sea near the port - the sea headwind. This sea area is perennially shrouded in winds towards the harbor, and ships that force their way through will even be swept up alive, and then fall to an uncertain location near or far, and even be swept up again if they are lucky.
Even in the most peaceful months of June and July, strong winds that blow incessantly are enough to overturn ordinary ships, and the reefs and whirlpools hidden in the currents are also insurmountable.
On the contrary, if you go with the wind, no matter how wild the wind is, no matter how wild the wind is, no matter how small the fishing boat will not capsize, although it is extremely bumpy, it can drift safely to the port of Pearl Harbor. It's like a frizzy invisible hand, pushing a boat behind its back.
And with this wind direction, the water will naturally return to the tide, so a large number of aquatic products involuntarily approach the port, even if they know that there are all fishermen in front of them who are gearing up to lay their nets, they are helpless.
In October, when the storms are at its highest, the currents are swept up by the wind, and a large amount of seafood is scattered throughout the town! It starts "raining" at 10 a.m. every morning and will continue for a whole week! Because of this seven-day carnival, October 1 every year is called the carnival, named "the blessing of the gods", and it is a very grand festival in Pearl Port.
And today, it is the last day of this day.
"Grandma, what's wrong today?" The emaciated boy sat at the door of his house, with several old iron buckets beside him, staring at the distant sky.
"Alas, I don't know, I should have come at 10 o'clock, but now it's almost 11 o'clock, why doesn't this 'Grace of the Heavenly Gods' make a sound at all......"
A chubby middle-aged woman was picking vegetables in the yard, apparently the young man's mother, and the yard where the two lived was very shabby, located in the southeast of Pearl Harbor.
The boy's name is Chen Shen, he is only 12 years old, and his mother, Aunt Huo, are preparing for the annual "Blessing of the Heavenly Gods".
The northwest is the seaside, and the southeast is naturally all land. In this Pearl Port, which is famous for aquatic products, the mother and son can only make a living by growing vegetables, but the land here is not fertile, and the vegetables grown are all clicky, and the appearance is also very bad.
At the fair, the mother and son have to walk dozens of miles early in the morning to reach the vegetable market, where they can sell the vegetables at a low price and exchange them for some food and daily necessities. Fortunately, people are poor but ambitious, Chen Shen is studying in a private school here, and his grades are among the best, although his family is poor, but he has cultivated a hard-working heart.
These days are the happiest days of the year, and the fish falling from the sky are like money falling from the sky, which can make their lives a little nourishing.
But today, the "rain", which was supposed to come on time, released their pigeons.
Time passed unconsciously, another hour passed, and the scorching sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes, but there was still no trace of wind in the sky.
"Forget it, Xiaofu, let's go and take out the dried fish made yesterday to dry, whether the favor is more or less, I don't care, the gods still take care of us, it's enough......"
Aunt Huo is a simple farmer, not greedy or anxious, although she is a little disappointed in her heart, she still accepts the reality. Otherwise, why not continue to wait and waste time?
"Okay......"
Chen Shen pouted a little unhappily, and Aunt Huo turned around and approached the house, and went to the box to move the broken dried fish. Chen Shen glanced at the end of the sky again with some unwillingness, but caught a glimpse of an unusual light.
"What's that?"
Chen Shen rubbed his eyes, convinced that he was not mistaken!
A white light was flying from the end of the sky in the direction of his home, leaving a faint scratch on the white clouds in the sky, and that location was the starting point of the "Blessing of the Gods"!
"Mom! Mother! Chen Shen shouted happily, jumping up excitedly, "The favor of the gods is here!" Approaching us! ”
The mother and son once again put down their work and looked forward to it at the door of their home.
The scratches that pierced the sky were getting longer and longer, and the broken yard of Chen Shen's house was getting closer and closer!
Then, over to the top of their house......
"Eh, this is...... What's going on? ”
The mother and son performed a scene of "the smile gradually brightened until the smile gradually disappeared", and their eyes were a little dull as they watched the white light fly towards the back of their house, and they could faintly see that there seemed to be black smoke coming out of their heads.
"Favor...... Isn't it? ”
Aunt Huo sighed and touched Chen Shen's head, "Okay, pin your hopes on the gods, it's better to do more with your own hands, even if we don't have the care of the gods, we still survive, right?" Let's go. ”
Chen Shenyan nodded, and reluctantly glanced at the "favor" that slipped away, but found that it ......
"Grace" doesn't seem to have flown far before it fell?!
Chen Shen's eyes lit up, "If this is really a 'favor', wouldn't it be developed!" I'll have to find out! ”
Silently noting down the direction that contained "hope", Chen Shen turned around and ran into the house to help his mother start carrying dried fish.
……
The next day was Sunday, and Chen Shen, who had finished his homework early, pretended to tell his mother that he was going out to play, so he trotted out all the way.
The place where "Grace" fell was in the Ron Forest, not far from home, where legend has it that there are man-eating spiders, snails as big as elephants, and mushrooms the size of houses...... But Chen Shen scoffed, there are some small animals in this forest, but they are all small vegetarian creatures, Chen Shen often plays with them, even if he occasionally encounters carnivorous creatures, he will leave without danger under Chen Shen's shouting.
Chen Shen always thought that he could do magic, but in fact, he failed to awaken his vitality when he was 8 years old, and naturally he failed to test any characteristics. This is basically the fate of the common people, the poor living conditions make the meridians blocked, and the meridians formed at the age of 8 have basically determined that they have no chance of cultivation in this life.
This made him lose for a while.
Still, he felt special.
After all, not everyone can mingle with animals.
Walking around the forest with his own memories, colorful birds landed on his shoulders from time to time, chirping and singing.
"Favor, favor...... I remember it was in this direction. ”
Pushing aside the bushes, Chen Shen looked left and right with his head probed, but ignored that there was a small hillside under his feet.
"Ah......h
With one foot in the air, Chen Shen rolled down with a grunt, although the hillside did not tremble, the thin Chen Shen couldn't stop with his own strength at all, so he had to protect his head and let himself roll down.
"How can there be a hillside here, I remember this area is all flat land......"
Chen Shen suddenly found that the land under him was no longer the lawn that could be seen everywhere, but like the loess after being cultivated.
"Bell ......"
This sound was definitely not hitting the wood, Chen Shen rubbed his head, held the cold "branch" in one hand, and struggled to get up.
"This is iron?" Chen Shen noticed that the texture in his hand was different from the soil of the trees, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see a face full of blood but full of surprise!
"Little brother, it's good to do me a favor......"
Chen Shen hurriedly retreated in fright, turned around and ran!
"Huh! Little brother, don't go! Little brother, open the door, hey! ”
