One day and three autumns, time is like a pass.

Seven years have passed like this, and there has been nothing peaceful during these years, and the fishermen still live like usual, drying their nets, weaving and fishing, sitting together and gossiping about things and talking non-stop.

Ji An married his wife five years ago, the daughter of a forest blacksmith in the town, who was born deaf and dumb, but has a pair of skillful hands, weaving, cooking, embroidering, and writing.

In the early years, Ji An came to the town to polish spearguns and got acquainted with this, and the woman did not dislike it when she learned that Ji An had an heir and still expressed her affection, and the blacksmith Lin knew that his daughter was deaf and dumb and didn't say much, so he became a parent.

On the seashore, there are many colorful shells on the golden sand, and the sea breeze blows.

At this time, it was sunset, and a swarthy young man sat on the seashore like this, letting the sea breeze blow his face, holding a large conch in his hand, and showing his white teeth to the sea.

"Ji Yu'er, it's getting dark soon, when is it?" I don't know when I'm going home for dinner?" said a fisherman carrying a log as he passed by the beach and said to the boy.

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll come back later, I still want to see the remnants of the Eight Golden Crows!" said the young man who was called Ji Yu'er to the fisherman surnamed Liu.

"Alas, this child, what's so beautiful about a black moon remnant, doesn't it hang in the sky every night?" The fisherman surnamed Liu shook his head and walked away carrying the wood on his own.

"Ji Wu!"

A familiar voice came from behind the young man.

"Father!" the boy hurriedly stood up, not forgetting to pat the sand on his body.

That's right, the one who was called the father by the boy was Ji An, and this black boy was the baby Ji An picked up seven years ago - Ji Wu.

Today's Ji Wu is no longer a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, in exchange for a height higher than his age and a sturdy physique, his swarthy face is not handsome, but a pair of smart eyes are so clear that they seem to contain the entire ocean.

But his father Ji An's face has a little more vicissitudes, perhaps because he has been going to sea all year round, and his lips are always a little dry.

"What time is it when you go home for dinner, I don't know if you don't go home, your mother is worried about you?" Ji An said solemnly.

Ji Wu realized his mistake and hurriedly ran to his father's side:

"The child knows that he is wrong, and next time he will return home on time to eat and help his mother do more housework."

The seriousness on Ji An's face suddenly relaxed a little, raised his hand and patted Ji Wu's shoulder, and then pointed in the direction of the village in the south.

"Run forward, whoever arrives home last will be punished for standing on the pile with three sticks of incense!"

Of course, Ji Wu would not lose to his father, so he ran to the southern village.

......

Over the years, Ji Wu has always been well-behaved and sensible, and his only personality is playful, and he always likes to lead a group of friends to go to the sea to fish, catch shrimp, and even catch sea snakes.

Every time he was found by his father, he was naturally scolded and disciplined, and his father didn't seem to like Ji Wu going to sea to fish, and every time Ji Wu wanted to go to sea with his father, he was rejected, because he was not old.

However, seeing other children who are younger than themselves, they went out to sea with their father early.

Ji Wu thought to himself: "One day, I can also drive the warehouse boat and hold the whirlwind pulp, so that I can take Sister Liu to the sea to fish together."

Sister Liu, is Ji Wu's hair, the relationship between the two is very friendly, every time Ji Wu catches back the fish and shrimp are sent to Sister Liu's house, which has Ji Wu's nickname: "Ji Yuer"

。

More of the friends in the village saw that Ji Wuhei was like a loach, and they followed suit.

After dinner, Ji Wu squinted and lay on the bed, and Ji Wu, who was asleep, had a dream:

"I dreamed that I was holding my father's two whirlwind pulp with both hands, standing on a wooden boat one size smaller than my father's fishing boat, and letting the splashing sea flowers slap my body, and suddenly Ji Wu saw a woman in the sea in front of her, this woman was wearing a long tulle dress, her face was covered by a face towel, and her body exuded a faint light, and she floated on the sea like this in a flash. Ji Wu tried hard to see the woman's face clearly but couldn't see it clearly, so Ji Wu kept paddling forward, no matter how Ji Wu rowed, he couldn't draw to the side of the woman in the long skirt, and slowly Ji Wu lost his strength, and then watched the figure of the woman in the long skirt gradually disappear into the sea.

Half desire, half dawn and half unknown, dream of smelling the fragrance of flowers and sleeping and smelling warblers.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the window in the morning, Ji Wu was still sleeping on his stomach on the bed, and his mouth was still dripping.

In the hall of the house, there has already been a distinguished guest "Ji Wu's uncle", that is, this uncle who is not related by blood at all, will change the fate of Ji Wu's life.

"I'm here this time to bring my nephew into the city, and the blacksmith shop I opened in the city is really too busy, but I don't have a safe helper, no!

A thin man looked to be about thirty years old, and he looked quite handsome, but he had a goatee on his chin that looked a little funny.

The emaciated man gently placed a bag of silver on the table, and then said, "Hey girl, where is my eldest nephew?

The one who was called the sister was a young woman, with a wooden hairpin tied in her black hair, and a neat and tidy cloth dress, which looked somewhat similar to this emaciated man, and she was not dumb when she glanced at Ji An.

Ji An sat on the bamboo chair next to the young woman, and gently waved her hand to signal her to call Ji Wu out.

It wasn't long ago.

After Ji Wu came out of the inner room with the young woman, he looked at this uncle who had never met.

Seeing this, Ji An said: "This is your uncle, I haven't seen your uncle soon!"

"I've seen my uncle!" Ji Wuqian lowered his head and whispered.

"Okay!ha," the emaciated man took out a small dagger wrapped in yellow cloth paper from his arms, handed it to Ji Wu, and said:

"Uncle's gift to you, this dagger is extremely sharp, you must carry it carefully!"

Ji Wuwang glanced at his father to see if he could take it, and after his father Ji An nodded, Ji Wucai took the dagger with both hands and said:

"Thank you, uncle!"

This dagger is black and has a simple appearance, that is, the scabbard and the tail are interlocked, and the dagger can only be pulled out by pulling the buckle with your hand, and it is safe to use.

Ji An sat on the bamboo chair and squinted at the baby who had gone to sea to pick it up, thinking: This child is getting older day by day, and he will definitely not be able to go out to sea to fish like himself in the future, what if something goes wrong.

For the sake of the child's safety and well-being, Ji An simply said: "Ji Wu, you will go to live in Bright Star City with your uncle early tomorrow morning, and give your uncle a hand, maybe you will become a capable figure like your uncle in the future."

When Ji Wu heard this, his eyes immediately moved from the small dagger to Ji An's face and hurriedly said, "Father, I want to be a brave fisherman like you in the future!" Ji Wu puffed up his chest to signal his thoughts.

"Pedantic! Do you want to be like my father and me, nesting in this small fishing village for the rest of your life and catching fish for the rest of your life? This matter is so decided! You will leave as soon as it is dawn tomorrow morning!" Ji An slapped the table, got up and walked out

Seeing this, the young woman standing next to Ji Wu raised her hand and gently touched Ji Wu's head, signaling not to make her father angry.

The emaciated man was silent in the chair, looking at Ji Wu's aggrieved appearance and thinking: After all, the village that has lived here for seven years is suddenly leaving, and it is indeed a little reluctant to change to himself.

............

That night, Ji Wu's family made a big table of meals in the yard, mainly seafood, and Ji Wu sat on a small bench and ate fish and shrimp tails, for fear that he would never be able to eat the shrimp made by his father in the future.
