"Zijiang water, Zijiang waves, Zijiang is 300 zhang deep. The dragon lady is delicate, the dragon is pretty, and the dragon girl will laugh when she jumps into the water. The fish fly, the shrimp jump, and the fish and shrimp come together to call. In case of heavy water and strong winds, stabilize the basin and collect the fish and shrimp cellar, do not rush to read the Dragon Niang, and you will be blessed with good fortune. ”

This song is familiar to us in Fuze Village, which tells us that there is a big river called Zijiang next to our village, and our whole village makes a living from the fishing of this river. Legend has it that in this Zijiang River, there is a powerful female dragon king, who blesses our villagers to go to the river to fish and harvest abundantly, but also to return in peace without leaving disasters, and is the guardian saint of our village.

As early as 19 years ago, during the summer rainy season in June, God rained heavily for more than ten days, flooding our entire Fuze Village, drowning and injuring many people. At this time, there was a young and beautiful woman, wearing a golden robe, her expression was not angry but mighty, and she single-handedly diverted the flood water into the village and irrigated it back to Zijiang to eliminate the flood, which allowed us to continue the incense of Fuze Village to this day.

In order to commemorate the great kindness of the female dragon king to our village, the villagers collectively funded the construction of a dragon temple, and a statue of the female dragon king was enshrined in the temple, and the people in the village would worship incense every year to express the gratitude of the female dragon king.

My father was crippled by wood in order to save people in the flood disaster that year, and because his house was washed away by the flood, seeing that my father was lonely and pitiful, the village let him live in the Dragon Niang Temple, one is to be able to clean the Dragon Niang Temple on weekdays, and also find a place to settle down.

And the father in the flood, the girl who was saved in order to repay the life-saving kindness, then stayed by the father's side to take care of it, the two stayed for a long time, the young man and woman bred feelings, half a year later the father did a happy event in the Longniang Temple, the girl was married to the daughter-in-law soon, for the Gong family gave birth to a baby boy, the baby for me, the parents named Gong Fusheng, meaning auspicious resurrection.

I remember that at that time, my father was lame in his right leg and had difficulty working, and the burden of the family fell on my mother, who was a very diligent woman, who got up early every day and went down to the river to fish in the dark, and was very hard to go home until dark. She is such a weak woman's family, driving a boat to fish on the Zijiang River for a day, but it can outperform the sum of several men's fishing harvest in a day, and every time she can harvest a full load, many people in the village come to ask my mother, how to get more fishing, what are the unique secrets?

My mother shook her head with a smile and only said two words: diligent.

Although she is diligent in fishing, every time she goes down to the river, she can cast her net and catch some fish that sell at a good price, such as yellow and spicy ding, black sticks, bitter white si, etc., and even large water objects such as river crabs and turtles, but she does not use chopsticks to eat these things in the river, only likes to eat some land vegetables such as green vegetables.

Once I was naughty and deliberately made a piece of carp meat into a mud and put it in my mother's rice for her to eat, but she fell off the rotten bowl in the middle of eating, clutched her stomach and vomited nauseously, and immediately found that she had eaten the fish crumbs in the bowl.

When my father found out, he immediately dragged his feet in anger and pulled a handful of tree sticks outside and beat me hard, if my mother hadn't slowed down and stopped me, I was afraid that I would have been beaten to death by my father!

Although my mother has this taboo, she is very good in other aspects for me, making me delicious meals, making some windmill bucket wheel toys, and often telling me stories at night, most of them are stories about the water, my mother said that the fish and shrimp in the water are all alive like us, they will eat and cry, and they will have their own emotions, and even speak... It gives me the feeling that my mother is familiar with everything in this water, and there is nothing she doesn't know.

Mother she is diligent and gentle, young and beautiful, in the village has always been very attractive to men, the men in the village always talk about my mother in their leisure time after dinner, there are some men who harass my mother, I remember one evening, I followed my mother to fish and finish work and docked, just got off the boat and was ready to carry the fish back, our village chief Gao Chunlin, Fuze Village, with several young people, surrounded our mother and wife by the river.

Gao Chunlin was wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of red roses to send my mother, and he actually asked my mother to leave my father! Several young people followed suit and shouted for my mother to marry Gao Chunlin. I thought my mother would be very angry when she heard this, but she not only smiled, but also generously accepted Gao Chunlin's roses, bent over and inserted them on the ground, and sprinkled Zijiang water on the flowers with both hands.

Gao Chunlin thought that his mother had promised him, but his mother said: "Women are like flowers, once they are planted in the ground, they belong to a pit, and so do I." If you want me to talk to you again, then pull out this flower from the earth, just as I can change my heart, I can meet your request. ”

Gao Chunlin patted his chest and said no problem! But when he really pulled it out, he used all his strength to eat, and even counted a few young people next to him to do it together, but the roses were like nails, and they couldn't get out of the nail soil, but they made Gao Chunlin a little embarrassed.

"The flowers have entered the pit, and I am also determined, and they are all immovable. I'm sorry Village Chief Gao, thank you for the roses you just sent, but there is no fate between us. My mother rejected Gao Chunlin with a slight smile and walked back with me.

But Gao Chunlin was not happy, he was annoyed by a flower, and rushed over and wanted to hug my mother, "Ah, just follow me, I will definitely make you happy!" ”

I was so frightened, my mother didn't hurry to push Gao Chunlin away and told him not to do stupid things impulsively, but Gao Chunlin was already angry, and he arrested my mother with these young people, who cares if he is rational or irrational? I was so frightened that I grabbed the corner of my mother's clothes and didn't let go, very scared and afraid.

"Don't be afraid of resurrection, my mother is fine here."

When Gao Chunlin and a few of them rushed up, her face did not change and she did not panic at all, and she waved quickly three times and five by two with one hand, and she knocked Gao Chunlin and several other young people to the ground, and she bared her teeth and screamed in pain!

That's when I realized that such a weak girl with such a mother's appearance would fight! And the skills are so powerful, usually they are really hidden, I look dumbfounded, and my eyes are wide and shocking.

After that night's incident, Gao Chunlin bought a gift and made a special trip to apologize to my mother, explaining that I drank too much that night, and asked my mother not to blame! My mother was also very generous and polite, poured tea and ate it to entertain Gao Chunlin, and told him that everyone has a moment of confusion, but as long as it can be corrected.

Mother's generosity and tolerance, I feel that she is a person who can see everything and will not really care about anything. I am glad to have such a beautiful and hard-working, able to fight, and have a very generous heart by my side, so that I can live happily in my childhood.

There are unforeseen circumstances, and my happiness of motherly love lasted until I was five years old, when a sudden accident came to an abrupt end!

I will never forget that day, it was my fifth birthday, the clear sky was unobstructed, God instantly changed a gloomy face, and suddenly there were dark clouds, and it was a sudden downpour! It just so happened that my mother was still fishing in the Zijiang River at this time, and there was no mobile phone at that time, and my father saw this and limped and wanted to take an umbrella to pick up my mother by the Zijiang River.

But this rainstorm was so great that the wind was howling and blowing non-stop, and even the door of the house could not go out, it could blow people over, and the sky outside was also hazy, as if it was dark and I couldn't see clearly. My father could only sit helplessly at the door, looking at the storm outside and smoking, his face full of anxiety and worry.

As soon as the raging rainstorm stopped, my father, who couldn't sit still for a long time, took me and rushed to the Zijiang River in a hurry. When our father and son arrived at the river, the water level of the Zijiang River had risen sharply, and the water quality had become turbid, and there was not a single fishing boat on the shore looking at the river, let alone seeing my mother.

"Ah Xiu!"

The father was anxious to follow the river, shouting loudly and constantly for his mother. I walked behind my father's buttocks, feeling a little depressed, and after walking for a while, I saw that there was a fishing boat parked there on the shore in front of me, and it was already stranded.

My father recognized it at a glance, this is the fishing boat that my mother was driving, and ran over with a limp, when I saw a scene on the fishing boat, my father and I couldn't help but be stunned, not to mention my mother's figure on the boat, and even the fishing tools were gone, only such an empty fishing boat, as if it had been looted!
