Chapter 1 Small Fishing Village
Han Yu likes to go out to the beach at night, because the air in HN is very good, there is no pollution, and the starry sky is exceptionally bright. He wears a vest on his upper body, wide-legged loose five-point pants on his lower body, and a pair www.biquge.info of flip-flops on his feet, which is typical of HN people.
After I was tired of walking, I just lay quietly on the beach, closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the tide, wave after wave, push and push the tide ashore.
Han Yu's family are fishermen, living in a small fishing village by the sea, living on the sea and eating the sea, his father and the villagers go out to fish in the early morning, and he likes to carry a net pocket at dusk to pick up seafood in the coral reefs.
HN is rich in products, abalone, oysters, scallops and sea white, everything, Han Yu likes to go to a deeper place to find some precious seafood and shellfish, he grew up by the sea, as soon as he enters the water, it is like swimming fish, there is no hindrance.
At dusk, the tide receded, and the seafood near the shore had been picked up by the people who came and went, and there would be no good things left out of rummaging, looking at the sun that was about to set in the sky, Han Yu tied the rope at one end of the net pocket to his waist, and then raised his legs and walked to the depths of the sea.
He likes to wear a pair of worn-out liberation shoes when he goes to the sea, because the stones and shells on the bottom of the sea are extremely sharp, and if he does not take protective measures, the soles of his feet are the most vulnerable to injury.
A piece of foam tied to the net pocket was tied to act as a floating board, so that it floated on the water, so that Han Yu would not have to worry about something under the water breaking it when he walked inside, and it was also convenient for him to pull the rope at any time and put something in it.
Soon walked to the place where the chest was drowned, today's waves are not big, so the water is crystal clear, Han Yu took a deep breath, and a fierce man plunged into the bottom of the water, he also held a self-made hook in his hand, which was polished with a worn steel bar, about 50 cm long, and when there was a finger long left at the tail end, it was folded at a ninety degree angle, and the polishing was very sharp.
This is a tool used to hook up some things in the crevices of the reef, which is very useful, and there are generally a lot of good things in the crevices of the stones, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins and some snails.
One breath can only be held for about two minutes at most, Han Yu looked for a target in the green seaweed, and soon, he harvested a nine-hole abalone the size of half a palm, which is rare in normal times, he often can't find one for a month, but today he is full of luck.
Maybe it's really going out today, he has always kept things in his pocket, there are already more than a dozen abalones, as well as two large crabs, a dozen sea urchins and countless snail shells.
There was only about an hour from dusk to night, and Han Yu could only find as many things as he could during this time period, because as soon as the sun completely went down, the light in the water would drop so low that he would not be able to see anything.
Floating up for the last time to breathe, looking at the sun that had completely set in the sky, and only the last trace of sunset remained, Han Yu decided to dive again, no matter what he caught, he would go back.
I couldn't see it clearly, only the outline of the things in the water was left, Han Yu squinted his eyes, and could only grope according to his own experience, after he picked up a few snail-like things one after another, he pulled the net and threw them inward without looking at it, it was getting late, he had to go back.
I don't know if Abba and Grandma are back, Han Yu thought to himself, today's harvest is good, but his stomach is about to be hungry. Although it was only an hour in the water, when I came ashore, I only felt weak and tired in my legs.
Holding the net pocket in his hand, he felt a little struggling with his vague steps, but there were sea urchins full of spikes in the net pocket, and he didn't dare to resist on his back.
Walking home, a few people who knew each other occasionally passed by on the way, everyone looked at each other's harvest today, and as soon as Han Yu's net pocket was opened, everyone was greeted with envy and exclamation.
"Yu boy, are you okay today! Your harvest this day is better than what I did last week! What do you think? This big abalone, let me do it? The one who spoke was Uncle Chen from the same village, and he was also one of the many fishermen, but he usually liked to drink a little wine, and the seafood he picked up by the sea was in his stomach, and when he saw fresh seafood, he always couldn't control his gluttony.
He didn't get anything good today, because the things he went to late were almost picked up, he was old, and he couldn't go to a deeper place like Han Yu, a young and strong young man, so he had to go home, and on the way back, he saw the good things in Han Yu's net pocket, and he couldn't follow the gluttony all the way.
Han Yu smiled and didn't speak, didn't nod or refuse, and when Uncle Chen saw that there was a play, he also stood there with him, chatting with each other.
After the rest of the people were gone, Han Yu quickly picked up the half-palm-sized nine-headed abalone, stuffed it into Uncle Chen's hand and said, "Uncle Chen, take it if you like!" Don't say anything that you won't let me, just don't let my father know, or he'll have to count me down. ”
Of course, Uncle Chen nodded like pounding garlic, and he accepted it with a full mouth. He stuffed the abalone into his arms, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and then fled home, and threw a sentence from afar: "Yu boy, you are righteous enough today, Uncle Yi Tian will tell you a story!" ”
Han Yu smiled and shook his head helplessly, this Uncle Chen, most of his life has been lived by himself, and he doesn't see any family, he has never married a wife and has become a bald old man, but he is sincere and enthusiastic, usually he will help the people in the village with any big and small things, he is full of interesting and novel stories, children like to revolve around him, Han Yu is one of the people who grew up listening to the stories told by Uncle Chen.
"Abba, Mama! I'm back, I'm hungry if the meal is ready! Han Yu shouted loudly before he entered the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he threw the net pocket in his hand to the ground, sat on the low stool and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was tired to death.
"Yu'er is back! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, someone just came back to spread the news, your father caught a lot of fish, if it weren't for you to come back, I would have gone to see it, I have never seen so many fish in my life! Han's mother said with a complaining look while handing Han Yu the dishes and chopsticks.
"Grandma, you can go if you want to, I'm not a child anymore, I don't know how to eat yet, I guess I can get a lot of fish tonight, Abba can't carry it alone, I'm powerless, you can still help him mention it, go go." Han Yu waved his hand while picking up the rice and said, it is estimated that he is hungry.
"Huh! Then I'll go, remember to brush the bowl when you eat a good meal, Grandma sees that you have a good harvest tonight, remember to put it in the water tank and raise it, otherwise it won't sell at a good price tomorrow. Han's mother nodded, took the flashlight and was about to go out, and did not forget to turn around and say a few words when she arrived at the door.
"Got it!" Han Yu replied impatiently, grandma is just verbose, obviously doing things every day, as if she would be uncomfortable if she didn't nag her.
While eating, a voice shouted from outside the door: "Han Yu! I've heard that your kid had a good harvest tonight, how about bringing something to my place for a drink or two? ”
The person who spoke was Xu Ding, a friend of Han Yu who had been playing since he was a child, and he lived at the other end of the village and often came to visit the house.
Hearing this, Han Yu stopped the action of picking up the rice, and looked at the seafood in the net pocket with his eyes flickering, Xu Ding's craftsmanship was very good, as soon as he heard that he went to drink there, Han Yu couldn't help but drool.
Thinking of this, he couldn't eat anymore, and as soon as he put the bowl down, Xu Ding also happened to walk in.
"What else to eat, hurry up, my wine is frozen, just waiting for your good things!" Xu Ding saw that Han Yu was still eating, and urged impatiently.
"Eh, I'll clean up first." Pour the rest of the rice into the bucket, and Grandma can also use it to feed the chickens. After washing and putting the dishes away, I walked slowly to the net pocket and began to pick and choose.
Xu Ding was also unkind, helping to pick and choose together, the two of them picked out the good ones and put them in the water tank, and the rest of them were either broken or injured, so they kept them for themselves.
Because although the sea urchin caught this time was large, the number was not large, so Han Yu didn't pick it out, put it with the rest, and eat it while it was fresh, which is a big supplement for men.
Although he is a hairy boy, it is useless to make up for it.
"Hey, what's this, slippery and shiny." Xu Ding picked and chosen, but found something strange, it looked like a shell but it was not a shell, only the size of three fingers, like a heart or a triangle, and it was made of enamel on the surface, just like ...... A tooth.
Han Yu took it and took a look, it was really beautiful, he wiped off the moss on it, but found that there were strange symbols engraved on it, his mind moved, he got up and went to the sink to pick up the brush and brushed, and after a while, it revealed its true face, and the smooth surface was densely carved with things, like words and symbols, it should be something old.
Han Yu looked at it over and over again, and felt that this thing was very good-looking, and he found that there was a small eye on the tip of this thing, which seemed to be specially polished by someone. Han Yu gestured it on his chest, his eyes lit up, and he found that it was quite suitable, so he went to the room to rummage through a red rope, strung it up and hung it around his neck.
"How? Cool, right? Han Yu said, showing off to Xu Ding.
Xu Ding pursed his lips, obviously a little envious but pretended to be disdainful and said: "Good-looking, such an adult, like a little baby, hurry up, Uncle Chen is still waiting!" ”
Han Yu was stunned, Uncle Chen was also there? He thought that Uncle Chen took the abalone and went back to enjoy it himself, but he didn't expect it to be in Xu Ding. After thinking about it for a moment, I understood that Uncle Chen was ...... Let's go get drunk!
