Chapter 229: Puzzle Boat Taboo

Along the road, it didn't take long to come to the sea.

The vast sea overwhelmingly broke into Xia Chengqi's field of vision. A sense of awe arises spontaneously, and it is indeed an isolated island, so it is born lonely.

Ji Jinyan had long been accustomed to this feeling of empty loneliness, and he enjoyed pulling Xia Chengqi to press the beach. The sea breeze is blowing, the waves are rolling, the beauty is in hand, and the joy is planted.

Xia Chengqi also likes this kind of leisure time, and he is happy to chase the waves under his feet.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Xia Chengqi glanced up by chance, and saw the rows of fishing boats not far away.

The fishing boat is pointy and wears a pure white background with characteristic patterns drawn in red, blue, and yellow.

Qiao Shuyue, who had been following behind her, also clapped her hands and praised, "Why is there such a cute fishing boat!" ”

Ji Shenxing smiled and said carefully, "This is a unique tool for the Dawu clan to go to sea, called a puzzle boat, because it is different from other fishing boats, it is not built by hollowing out a tree trunk, but cutting and joining high-quality wood piece by piece, filling the joints of the boat board with kapok to avoid water leakage, and the whole ship uses wooden nails. ”

"The pattern on it is so beautiful!" Qiao Shuyue praised and approached.

"These are the unique comprehension of nature and life of the Dawu people, which are displayed on the hull of the ship in a graphic way, and then painted with colors, which means praying for blessings and reverence for nature."

Listening to Ji Shenxing's detailed explanation, Qiao Shuyue involuntarily stretched out her right hand and touched the beautiful lines, wanting to feel this wonderful art by touching.

"You can't touch it." Ji Shenxing grabbed Qiao Shuyue's hand, "One of the taboos of the Dawu clan is that women are not allowed to touch the puzzle boat, they think it will bring bad luck. ”

Qiao Shuyue felt very disappointed, so she pulled Xia Chengqi over, "Chengqian, you go and touch it." Aren't you party members unbelieving in evil? ”

Xia Chengqi smiled and shook his head, "I don't believe in evil, but we need to respect other people's cultures." ”

"It's boring. If you don't even touch it, is it true that we girls can't take a boat? Qiao Shuyue's mouth was cocked.

"Yes, the Dawu clan rule is that the men are responsible for going out to sea to fish, while the women are responsible for working on the island and taking care of the children." Ji Shenxing pulled Qiao Shuyue back a few steps, for fear that she would deliberately touch the puzzle boat.

"Alas, I originally wanted to go out to sea with the fishermen, but this is good, there is nothing to play." Qiao Shuyue's eyes were full of decline, and she was very disappointed.

"If you don't take a puzzle boat, you can take another boat, I just saw a small yacht on the dock, why don't we rent it?" Xia Chengyu saw Qiao Shuyue's small expression in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

Why do I always have to compromise, why do I always have to substitute, why can't I get what I want? When Qiao Shuyue heard Xia Chengyu's words, she felt even more aggrieved, "But, I just want to take a jigsaw boat." ”

"Don't make a fuss, we have to respect the customs of the aborigines. If we want to go to sea, we should take another boat, and it's not what we sit on, but who we are with. Xia Chengqi hugged the poor Qiao Shuyue.

"Okay, okay, I can't say it, I'll listen to you!" Qiao Shuyue finally pulled out a smiling face, took Xia Chengqi's hand and rushed to the sea together, playing with the waves.
