The siblings quickly walked out of the cabin, and at the astonished gaze of the siblings, Dole changed his amiable tone, "You look at the things first, we still have a lot of things." With that, they ran back to the boat, and continued to carry the baskets, barrels, and bags of hemp. The strange actions finally attracted the attention of the fishermen, and they came out of the house, watching the busy people from a distance.
The flickering eyes were first fearful and indifferent, then curious, and then looked at the bright fabrics, shoes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar pots and pans, rice and flour, and finally turned into envy and desire, only Xiao Yu'er knew that he had no malicious intentions, and simply helped them carry things, this young man was not strong but not small, not to mention Cheng Li, Dole was a little surprised in his eyes.
Seven or eight times back and forth, the two finally carried all the things, a large pile of small piles in the ground to occupy a large enclosure, all the fishermen finally could not resist the temptation of things, and saw and the small fish, Cailing was very familiar with it, so they all surrounded it. Dole stood on the opposite side of the crowd, swept around the crowd, a hundred or so people, excluding old people, women, children, teenagers, and strong men, thirty or forty people, all dressed in tattered clothes, grinned and said loudly:
"Today we are here to buy fish, we have bought all the fish you have taken out, and you have taken all these things, and you should buy fish money."
"Young man, it's dusk and there are no more fish, and besides, it's a cold winter, and the harvest is not good, so we don't have that much to sell." A gray old man standing between Cailing and Xiaoyu'er said slowly, the old man was sixty or seventy years old, his face was withered, and he bent over and supported a cane with both hands.
"Oh. That's okay. From now on, all the fish you have caught will be kept for us. Take all these things as a deposit. Dole waved his hand at the miscellaneous underground.
"Young man, we have received your kindness, although our fishermen in Tidal Village are poor, they don't need to be pitiful, you can take these things back!" The old man still spoke slowly, and seemed to have a lot of prestige among the fishermen. There was not a single objection to what he said.
"Old man, when did I pity you! We are in business, we have more than 100 people there to eat hundreds of catties of fish every day, just buy food every day is very troublesome, we buy fish and you sell fish to get the best of both worlds, these things are not given to you for free, today is not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is not! ”
I didn't expect this old man to not appreciate it, but he couldn't just give it up, Dole's head turned sharply and he hurriedly explained. The old man was speechless. The eyes were slightly closed, as if they were in deep thought, and there was a small commotion in the crowd. It seems that Dole's words have had some effect, but no one has come forward to speak, perhaps because of the old man's prestige, or maybe the previous experience of being bullied and deceived is too profound.
Xiao Yu'er gently pulled down the corner of the old man's clothes, the old man lowered his head and looked at him, Xiao Yu'er raised his head and whispered, "Grandpa, they are not bad people, the last time I went to the city to sell fish and was bullied, it was the three big brothers who helped me to receive the fish money." The old man sighed softly, and at last spoke again:
"Young man, let's put these things here for the time being, and we will keep them for you, and when we have enough fish for that day, how about the families come and distribute these things again!"
"Okay, okay, let the old man dispose of it." Dole grinned.
There was also a small cheer from the crowd, these things had been available for months, and the fabric could be used for years, at least for a long time without going into the city to be bullied. At the old man's beckoning, everyone came to move their things and put them in an empty cabin, and the old man turned to them and said, 'Young man, let's go in and sit down', and they naturally nodded in agreement.
When I walked into the wooden house and looked around, I realized what it meant to be really poor, and the small room had nothing but a small wooden table, a few small wooden boards, a wooden bed, and a simple stove, although there were two other small rooms, it was estimated that it would not be any better. Sitting on a wooden bench around the wooden table, the old man was silent for a moment and then whispered, 'Is there anything else you want to ask, young man?' The old man, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, seemed to see the hidden motives behind the actions of the three boys.
"Old man, we are really here to buy fish, and there is also a little curiosity, the last time we saw the little fish in the city when they were angry, they suddenly became like fish, why is this?" Although Dol is a ghost, he doesn't have so many cities, and the old man said what he thought when he asked.
"Hehe, everyone in Danzhou Port knows that the people of our Tidal Village are monsters, but you outsiders don't know, yes, there is still a body of a fish beast hidden under our human form, and the power of a fish beast." The old man smiled bitterly.
"If you have the power of fish and beasts, why are you still being bullied?" You Da Mu asked.
"Although we have the power of fish and beasts, after all, we are thin, and the world thinks that we are aliens, and we will attack them whenever something happens. If we resist as soon as we encounter bullying, we may not even be able to keep this small place to live. The old man's helpless desolation.
"Old man, I'm also very curious, how can you have the body of a fish beast, the power of a fish beast?" Dole continued, and today's preparation is to break the casserole and ask the end.
"These are all the sins of our ancestors! A hundred years ago, the fishermen of our Tidal Village were real people like you, and our people have lived in this sea area for two hundred years, and have been living a peaceful life of fishing and selling. But a hundred years ago, when our ancestors went out to sea to fish and suddenly encountered a storm, and the ship was about to capsize and die, the king of fish appeared with his young son, and the king of fish with human nature suddenly had compassion and used his huge body to block the wind and waves, and our ancestors escaped for their lives.
After the storm, looking at the huge body of the young son of the king of fish, our ancestors inexplicably rose to the heart of greed, if the juvenile fish like a big boat can be caught, maybe there will be no need to go to sea for several months. Tempted by greed, the ancestors followed the young son in a boat, and when a young fish was far away from the fish king, the ancestors actually attacked it with powerful bows and crossbows.
Watch as his young son was scarred, blood spilled red in the blue water, and finally died in agony. The heartbroken King of Fish, in his rage, did not kill our ancestors. But he cast the most vicious spell on our people:
For generations, they have been possessed by fish and beasts. There will be no liberation for eternity, and they will be discriminated against and bullied by the world. ”
The old man said slowly, his withered face was helpless and sad, and the three boys looked at each other when they heard it, and they couldn't imagine that there were really spells in this world, and they had never believed in fate or evil.
"That is the iniquity of your ancestors, and you have suffered enough humiliation, so you cannot bear all the sins!" Dole was a little indignant.
"What could it be! Such is the fate of our people. The old man sighed helplessly.
"Old man. No matter what I do to you in the future, I will not let you be bullied casually. Dole swore an oath.
"Young man, there is no such thing as eating and drinking in vain in this world, the old man understands your intentions, but can you tell the old man, what kind of people are you?" The old man's dizzy old eyes suddenly flashed a little light.
"Well, keep it a secret for the time being, anyway, we will definitely not bully you." Dole grinned and began to sell the guanzi again, saying that their identities could not be said casually.
At this time, Cheng Li was a little impatient. He stretched out his head and stared straight out of the house, as if looking for someone. It was an older fisherman who walked into the house and took a look at the house, his eyes were full of gratitude, and finally he looked at the old man, "Patriarch, everything has been put away, and the seal has been pasted" I didn't think that this old man was actually the patriarch of the village, no wonder it was so prestigious, and Dole heard it in his ears and said, "What kind of seal to put on, anyway, these things are yours sooner or later, even if you use it, it's not enough for me to buy it again."
"Then let's go out and have a look" The old man looked at him, Cheng Li couldn't sit still for a long time and walked out of the house with his buttocks, just out of the house, Cailing took Xiao Yu'er's hand and jumped up and down from the small wooden house where the big pile of things was piled up in the distance, and the mood of the sister and brother seemed to be very good. As soon as he approached Cheng Li, the kid walked to Cailing's side in a daze, took out the silver phoenix hairpin from his arms and handed it to her, with a hippie smile:
"Cailing, this is for you!"
"Ah" Cailing couldn't help but exclaim, her big and watery eyes, and her surprise was full of unconcealable love, surprised that no one had ever given her anything, the people in the village were very poor, and this kid who had just met for a short time would suddenly give her items. The exquisite silver phoenix hairpin shimmered with a bright luster, the young girl didn't like it, it must look good in her long black hair, Cailing was a little at a loss for a while.
"Take it" Cheng Li, the kid saw that Cai Lingleng didn't move there, and hurriedly stuffed the silver hairpin into her hand, Dol and You Da looked at it and laughed in their eyes, and shouted, "Take it, take it", Cailing timidly blushed and silently clenched her hand, and pulled the silver hairpin tightly in the palm of her hand, she really liked this ornament in her heart.
Xiao Yu'er looked at everything in front of him, with an inexplicable trace of envy and loss in his eyes, Dole walked beside him and still looked like a big grin, took out a pair of new thick shoes from his arms, and handed them to his little head, 'Xiao Yu'er, my brother will also give you something, take it', Xiao Yu'er took it happily.
They laughed and walked towards the beach, Cailing looked at their backs that were about to go away, and suddenly shouted loudly, "I'll send you away" and ran up happily, Xiao Yu'er spread her legs and ran with her sister. A group of people walked towards the beach like this, not far from Cheng Li's side and kept nagging, if there was anything that needed help, just look for him, if there is anything missing, just look for him, look like a rich man who can't eat and can't run out, You Da finally couldn't stand it in his ears, turned his head sideways and pouted, "Cheng Li, do you have silver!" That's all Dole's! ’
Cheng Li yelled at You Da and shouted, "Doer's silver is ours, isn't it Doer!" Dor's ears laughed again, "As long as you follow my brother and work hard, no matter how little money you have, you will have your share." After laughing, he turned to Cailing and Xiaoyu'er, "Early tomorrow morning, you will call all the young adults in the village to the beach, and I will teach them how to make money." ’
Cailing and Xiao Yu'er were grateful and admired, and kept nodding their heads, and under the farewell eyes of the two sisters and brothers, the boat sailed towards the cliff in the distance.
Back in the cave on the edge of the cliff, the sky was almost completely dark, You Da and Cheng Li pulled a few mouthfuls of food and fell asleep in the cave, Dole walked to Emily's side and said secretly, "Sister Emily, you come to me!" Emily followed Dole to the entrance of the cave in confusion, and the cool moonlight shone down, and Dore smiled and took out the brocade box from his bosom and handed it to Emily, "What?" Emily was even more confused, reaching out to take the light flutter and barely feeling it, "Open it up" Dole urged anxious to see Emily's surprise touch.
Slowly opened the brocade box, two gorgeous palace flowers like flowers appeared in the eye, the peridot on the stamens, shining with a bright and beautiful luster in the cool moonlight, "Dore, did you buy it for my sister!" Emily's surprise was indescribable, and Dole smiled and nodded. The younger brother who was very smiling in his heart was really growing up, and Emily couldn't help but reach out and stroke his hair with relief.
Black light and black gas flickered out from between his fingers, still the dim and uncertain light, looming black gas swirling, Dole's dry body was like a storm rushing towards a hard rock not far away, the figure blinked an eye and the black light and black gas shrouded fist smashed down, boom, huge rocks splashed and cracked, rubble like a storm of sand and dust roared past his eyes, and most of the rocks were smashed by this punch.
"Okay, okay" There was a raindrop-like slap not far away, and Cheng Li and You Da, who were sitting cross-legged and had just finished cultivating, opened their eyes and saw this wonderful scene, and kept clapping their palms and shouting hello.
'It's good, it's not progressing!' Dol pursed his lips, lazily took care of the two boys, opened his palm, and the small 'magic crystal' lay in the palm of his hand, and after the magic gong worked, the 'magic crystal' returned to its ordinary appearance. Looking at the monster in his hand, Dole was a little confused in his heart, his cultivation of his magic skills was growing, but the power of this monster had stagnated, and there had been almost no improvement since the end of the middle cultivation competition.
According to the Horcrux elf, with the improvement of magic skills, the integration of himself and the 'magic crystal' is getting closer and closer, and the power of the 'magic crystal' will gradually explode under the stimulation of the magic power, although the combination of his own mind and this monster is almost to the point of heart-to-heart, but the stimulation of magic seems to be in the state of exhaustion.
"Dore, let's go, it's dawning" Cheng Li urged anxiously again, yesterday he said that he would go to Tidal Village today to encourage those young adults to join their pirate organization, this kid is unusually anxious about the affairs of Tidal Village. Raising his head to look at the sky, he had to put this doubt in his heart for the time being, waved his hand at the two boys, and swaggered towards Tidal Village again.
Twenty or thirty young adults on the empty beach have already gathered together under the call of Cailing and Xiaoyuer, just waiting for the arrival of Dol, all of them are young men from seventeen or eighteen to twenty years old. Dole stood at the front of the queue, meeting the gazes cast at him, all older than himself and taller than himself, rooted in his heart because of the inferiority complex suppressed by the possession of fish and beasts, as well as the long-term bullying, in the face of a boy shorter than himself, but they must be respectful.
