Now, it has been sixteen years since the appearance of this black water.

In the past year, the black water has been floating on the shore of Lingshan Island, regardless of the tide rising and falling, it has not left, and it is very tenacious.

It seems to be waiting for something.

The sea around the mortal island is also polluted, and there are some unknown objects floating on the water, or old gourds, or some wood.

However, there is no such thing as blackwater.

Sometimes, some small fish will swim to the black water, and the unintelligent eyes will open their lips with curiosity, and they will kiss the black water.

It seems that they are also wondering why the color of this mass of water is different from that of other places.

However, after playing for a while, these little fish lost interest and left.

Only one of them, about an inch in size, covered in cyan scales, had been swimming beneath the black water.

It will look up from time to time to look at this black water, as if it likes it very much, and sometimes when it is excited, its tail hits the black water, and it will make a crisp splash sound.

It's called herring.

Wherever the black water floats, the herring fish moves with it, never leaving it from the moment it spotted it.

It's like guarding.

Until now, this herring fish has been guarding this black water for a year.

It is just an ordinary small fish, one of the fishermen's favorite fish, although petite, but the taste is good, the price of a catty, will reach ten taels of silver.

......

On this day, two teenagers came to the shore.

Both looked to be seven or eight years old, a man and a woman, very immature.

One of them had small pigtails, and his face was white and red, like a porcelain doll.

The other boy, barefooted, trouser legs rolled up, with a little dust on his face that he didn't know where to play, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

"Little Joe, hurry up!"

The boy ran to the shore and shouted to the girl behind him.

Xiao Qiao ran over with a smile, holding a large net bag in his hand, and said, "Xiao Ning, how many lobscale shrimp do you say we can catch today?"

"How do I know. ”

The boy known as 'Xiao Ning' shook his head and said, "But looking at today's tide, it has receded a lot, and the harvest should be a little more." ”

"Hmm!"

Xiao Qiao nodded heavily and said, "If you can catch ten catties of lobon shrimp today, you will have a thousand taels of silver, and when the time comes, you can also find a good doctor for your father." ”

Speaking of his father, Xiao Ning's face couldn't help but show a gloom.

The lobster is a kind of sea shrimp with scales, and it lives in the soil, and only those experienced fishermen will find it according to the 'shrimp nest' made by the lobster.

Although Xiao Ning is still young, he has liked to catch this kind of lobster since he was a child, and his father's experience is definitely the most powerful in several nearby villages, which taught him a lot, so that he has a lot of experience in catching lobscale shrimp.

Lobster has great nutritional value, and the taste is the most refreshing when fried, and it is precisely because of this that its value is higher than that of herring, reaching one pound of one hundred taels of silver.

Under normal circumstances, fishermen will not eat lobfish when they catch them, because they are really too expensive.

The fishermen all sold the lobfish to the rich people in the city, for that kind of person, they spent money like dirt, not afraid that he had no money, but afraid that the number of lobscale shrimp was too small.

"Look, there's a shrimp nest here!" Xiao Ning's face showed surprise.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao hurriedly ran over, took a large net bag and put it in front of the shrimp nest, and said happily: "Brother Xiao Ning is still powerful, I don't know how big this lobscale shrimp is......?"

"There are too few lobs in a pound, and it's good to have three taels of this lobster. Xiao Ning said.

He took out the white sand that had been prepared a long time ago, and slowly flowed into it along the shrimp nest.

After a while, less than a meter away from the shrimp nest, the moist soil suddenly swelled, and then a large shrimp collapsed from it.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Ning, there are really lobscale shrimps!"

Xiao Qiao hurriedly ran over, his face flushed with joy.

She grabbed the lobscale, but the lobster was too big, the thickness of her arm, and she didn't catch it.

"Brother Xiao Ning, this lobscale shrimp is at least three catties, according to the price that my father sells them, a three-catty lobscale shrimp can cost three hundred taels of silver for one catty!"

Xiao Qiao was so excited, this lobon scale shrimp had nine hundred taels of silver, which was worth their father's work for a year.

Xiao Ning also showed ecstasy in his eyes, the value of this lobscale shrimp can completely invite a good Lang Zhong to see his father.

Both of them didn't expect that today's first harvest would be so huge.

Lobsters are seasonal, only present in spring, and only have a one-day chance to catch them, which is another reason why lobsters are precious.

Scarcity is expensive.

There were also a lot of villagers around gradually, and when they saw the big lobon shrimp in Xiao Ning and Xiao Qiao's net bag, they all showed envy.

"Two little guys, they're quite capable. ”

"Xiao Ning, now I have money to treat your father. ”

"Xiao Ning, work hard to make money, and marry Xiao Qiao home in the future, haha!"

Some villagers spoke to the two of them, all of them were joking in it, and Xiao Ning and Xiao Qiao's faces turned red for a while.

Although they are small, the village is generally fifteen or sixteen years old, and they can also get married, and their current age still understands a little bit about the affairs of men and women.

"Ignore them, let's catch lobfish again. Xiao Ning said embarrassedly.

"Uh-huh......" Little Joe's voice was weak.

At noon, the two took out the dry food they were carrying and ate it for a while, and then started again.

Time passed quickly, the sunset rose on the horizon, and the tide finally began to rise.

"Another one!"

On the shore, the sound of excitement like a girl's silver bell was heard.

From morning to now, the two of them have caught a lobscale shrimp, but they didn't expect to catch another one when the tide is high again.

And this one, looking bigger than the first one, must be heavier.

The other villagers all looked up, thinking to themselves, they hadn't caught one after a day here, but these two little guys had caught two, and each one weighed three pounds, so it was okay to bring yourself a pound one!

"Hee-hee, now we have money!"

Little Joe put the lobfish in a net bag.

At this moment, the tide rose, and a ball of black water larger than a fist hit Xiao Qiao's feet, but it did not separate.
