In the next few days, Ye Gucheng left the city lord's mansion early in the morning every day, came to the beach to meet the woman after dressing up, and then went out to sea to fish together, and came back at noon or in the afternoon to take the seafood caught to Baiyun City to sell.

The harvest of the two is sometimes more and sometimes less, the first two days are not bad, the two of them talked and laughed when they returned from fishing, and in the next few days, some reason bad luck or something, the fish and shrimp caught were not even half of the first two days, and the smile on the woman's face was no longer as much as the previous two days, most of the time the frowns frowned, which made Ye Gucheng's mood also affected a little, and he became more and more silent after returning to the city lord's mansion.

On this day, after Ye Gucheng and the woman went to sea, a small fishing boat secretly set off from another pier to follow them, and always hung not far behind them, only to see Ye Gucheng and the woman sail the fishing boat to the sea and stopped, the two took out the fishing net and threw it into the sea and began to fish.

On the small fishing boat, Lu Xiaofeng looked at this scene and wondered: "Can you catch fishing in such a close place?" Why don't they go a little further afield? ”

The boatman smiled bitterly: "Originally, there were, although there were not many, since Feixian Island decided to develop waterways and docks, there are fewer and fewer fish in the coastal waters, and you have to go to the deeper offshore waters." However, our Feixian Island is still good, in recent years, the use of those fishing boats has been prohibited, and there is no worry about the lack of fish, I heard that there are several islands that have caught all the fish and shrimp around the island. ”

Richard sat in the cabin and looked at Ye Gucheng and the others who were busy on the fishing boat in front of him, and explained softly: "If you go to a deeper offshore sea, you won't be able to come back that day, so they can only do this in order to go back and forth on the same day." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said suddenly: "You mean that Ye Gucheng was able to come back that day in order not to be exposed, so he wanted to fish in this coastal area?" ”

"Don't you know him yet? When have you ever seen him care about this. ”

Richard shook his head and said: "It's because that girl, this girl's name is Cheng Ling, she is the daughter of a fisherman on this Feixian Island, and she has been dependent on her grandfather since she was a child, and this old fishing boat was left to her by her grandfather." The old man had a serious illness three years ago and is still bedridden, so she must come back before dark, otherwise there will be no one to take care of her grandfather that day. ”

"I see..."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at Cheng Ling on the old fishing boat in front of her, and said softly: "In that case, this girl should have had a hard time all these years." ”

Richard sighed softly, "How easy is it? The food and clothing of the grandparents and grandchildren all depend on her, but how can the strength of a girl's family compare with that of a man. And you can only fish in the sea. When you are lucky, you can have food and clothing, and if you are unlucky, your grandfather and grandson can only starve. At the most difficult time, the girl once wanted to sell herself into the Qinglou, walked to the Qinglou and wiped her tears and cried all the way back again. ”

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "How do you know this?" ”

Richard said slowly: "There are not many things in this world that can be hidden from Tsing Yi Lou, don't look at Baiyun City, it seems that it is still the same as in the original world of rivers and lakes, but in fact, many changes have been made." The Tianyan monitoring network in Baiyun City is made by Tsing Yi Building. ”

Today, Ye Gucheng and Cheng Ling's luck is still not very good, there is only a box of seafood, if these seafood are placed in Chang'an City, they may be able to sell for a lot of money, but in this Baiyun City, they will also be able to buy rice and noodles.

To add insult to injury, today's seafood has not been sold yet, and in the end there is a lot left, Cheng Ling suddenly felt even more sad in her heart, although she didn't say anything, but her frowning brows had already revealed her mood undoubtedly.

In the evening, Ye Gucheng walked back to the beach with her with the box, and came to a broken wooden house not far from the small wharf.

There are two beds, one large and one small, a bench with only three legs and half a table, and the reason why I say half is because this table has only two legs, and one end is resting on the bed, slightly tilted.

Not counting Ye Gucheng and Cheng Ling, the only living person in this house should be the old man on the big bed, although the old man was lucky to pick up a life after a serious illness, he couldn't stand the toss anymore, and lay in bed all day long, fortunately, he was still conscious, he didn't need to take medicine on weekdays, he was not affected by eating and talking, and he could occasionally get out of bed to help his granddaughter.

If you still have to take medicine, it will undoubtedly make this family, which is already like a wooden house, leaky on all sides, even worse.

Cheng Ling showed a smile on her face, and smiled at the old man: "Grandpa, I'm back." I caught a lot of fish today, and it sold very well, Brother Ye and I also brought a lot back, and today I will cook fish soup for you to drink. ”

The old man sat up, nodded with a smile, and called Ye Gucheng to sit on the edge of the bed and talk. Cheng Ling was used to housework, and her hands and feet were very neat, so she set up a stove outside the wooden house to cook fish soup, and made some charcoal fire to prepare to cook grilled fish to eat.

Ye Gucheng walked out of the wooden house with the old man in his arms, and after making sure that the old man was sitting firmly on the three-legged bench, he stepped forward to help Cheng Ling cook, although he couldn't do it, but there was no problem in taking care of the firewood and adding fire.

In the distance, Richard and Lu Xiaofeng watched this scene, and Lu Xiaofeng Nunu said, "Do you believe it?" This is actually our White Cloud City Lord Brother Lone City. ”

Richard laughed: "Love is always blind, you prodigal son, in the end, you will not be caught by Shaman." ”

"Grandpa, drink fish soup, be careful of scalding."

Cheng Ling first served a bowl of fish soup to the old man, then took two grilled fish and handed one of them to Ye Gucheng, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, thank you today, please eat grilled fish." ”

Ye Gucheng thanked him, sat on the ground face to face with Cheng Ling, holding a bowl of fish soup in one hand and a bowl of fish soup in the other, plus the old man who was walking on the bench next to him and drinking fish soup slowly, it really meant that there was a family of three.

Before leaving, Ye Gucheng took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom and wanted to give them to Cheng Ling, "You take these silvers." ”

Cheng Ling was anxious all of a sudden, "Brother Ye, what are you giving me money for?" Take it back, I don't want your money. ”

Ye Gucheng said: "I have silver, you can take this silver." ”

Cheng Ling glanced at Ye Gucheng, shook her head and said: "You have silver, that's yours, I'm already very grateful to you for coming to help me go to sea to fish every day, I can't ask for your silver." ”

Ye Gucheng understood the meaning of Cheng Ling's eyes, and insisted: "I really have silver!" ”

The dignified Lord of Flying Immortal Island, the Lord of Baiyun City, can there be no silver?

However, he is now just an ordinary fisherman in Cheng Ling's eyes, how can ordinary fishermen be rich, and the rich are those merchants who receive seafood and sell it to the mainland. She said with a straight face: "Brother Ye, I'm going to be angry if you do this again, I can't ask for your silver, you take it back." ”

Seeing this, Ye Gucheng could only sigh helplessly, put away the silver and said a few more words to Cheng Ling, and then turned to leave.
