The waves crash on the sand, leaving greedy kiss marks.

The begging sea people (people who live by the sea and have no fixed residence and take the boat as their home) Wu Xiang led his daughter Wu Xiaohua to catch the sea outside. After wandering around for a long time, I didn't see much to gain.

The last sound in the distance shook the ground, which frightened Wu Xiaohua's hand, and the little crab she had just picked up fell down again. Listening to the sound, she inexplicably thought of Shen Fusheng's injury, and suddenly felt that her heart was beating suddenly, and she vaguely felt that something bad had happened.

Some ran to the beach, tiptoeing out into the distance. Wu Xiaohua dropped the little crab and followed to join in the fun.

"Why is it so loud? What's going on? ”

"Only the Great Thunder has such great power!"

"This drill is going to be a war, right?"

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, let's go......"

The guarding navy is right in front of the face. The captain suddenly turned around and faced each other with his gun, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"What are you looking at......" Wu Xiang stood not far away, gritted his teeth and said impatiently, "Hurry up and pick it up!" ”

Wu Xiaohua rubbed her hungry belly, turned her head to look at the only small crab and some clams in the back basket, turned around, and asked her father in a low voice: "Daddy, when will the military exercise end?" When will you be able to go to sea? I haven't had a full meal in days. ”

Wu Xiang's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Long-winded! Hurry up and pick it up! ”

Wu Xiaohua sighed and pouted: "Pick up, pick up, it's been a day and a night, how can there be anything to pick up?" After speaking, Wu Xiaohua continued to take lazy steps forward, looking towards the beach from time to time.

Wu Xiang snorted coldly, buried Wu Xiaohua and said: "Take a look, I advise you to break this idea early!" But the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy! Daddy is the former overseer of Shanghai, and Ah Da is the famous Shen Dashuai! What are you!? People will look up to you!? ”

"What's wrong with the Overseers? What's wrong with Dashuai? I'm not so good Daddy and Daddy! What's wrong with me? I don't lack arms or legs, so why don't you look down on me......"

Wu Xiaohua felt uncomfortable when she heard this, muttered, and strode in the opposite direction.

Not far away, sitting on a chair and drinking tea was none other than Wen Lang, the son of Wen Jun, the richest local mountaintop man (who lived by the sea and had a house). Wen Lang is idle and boring on weekdays, and often walks around the beach. If it's not for money, then it's for the girls of which family. Wen Lang is not Chinese New Year's Eve today, he was famous for his suave and suave when he was young, he was overindulged, his face was slightly withered, and he didn't look like he was in the prime of life. His family seems to have a group of wives and concubines, but he still can't stop him from forgetting to return. On the one hand, he went in and out of the bright buildings and dark places, and on the other hand, he wantonly declared to the outside world that he did not look down on the vulgar women in Fireworks Willow Lane, and preferred innocent and innocent girls like Xiaohua.

Seeing Xiaohua passing by panting with her sweaty chest, Wen Lang couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly, I felt something squirming at my feet, and when I looked down, I saw that it was a fat crab! Subconsciously raised his foot and kicked the crab in front of Wu Xiaohua.

Wu Xiaohua turned her head and looked, what a fat crab! When I looked up, I guessed that it was a gentle ghost, and I wanted to pick it up, but I was afraid that he would say something unpleasant.

Wen Lang sat on the chair, enjoying the cool breeze from the servant, staring at Wu Xiaohua's coarse cloth clothes that were blown by the wind and sticking to the skin, thinking about it.

Wu Xiaohua sighed secretly, rolled her eyes, turned around and was about to leave, who knew that Wu Xiang trotted all the way, bent down excitedly, grabbed the crab first, skillfully threw it into the back basket behind her, and said with a smile: "Such a big one, it must be sold at a good price!" ”

"Hey! Old man! Stop, stop, stop......" Wen Lang shouted at Wu Xiang, and threw a hot teapot that he had just taken into his hand to the servant, the tea splashed everywhere, and the servant was so hot that he screamed, and he didn't dare to throw the teapot away.

Wu Xiang turned his face to look at Wen Lang, not daring to speak.

Wen Lang got up and walked over, and said angrily: "Look at what! Hillbilly, that crab is my master! ”

"It turned out to be Young Master Wen's, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry ......."

Wu Xiang couldn't stand the overwhelming number of people on the other side, let go of his clenched fist, and echoed with a smiling face. After saying that, he put down the basket, took out the crab, and returned it with both hands.

"Daddy! Don't give it to him! Wu Xiaohua stepped forward and said, "The surname is Wen!" Why do you say it's yours?! This sea belongs to everyone, and whoever picks it up first will be his! ”

Wen Lang pretended to be puzzled and replied, "That's right! I really picked it up first! But as soon as I let go, it ran away! My minions, you can testify to me! ”

The gentle and scoundrel face made Wu Xiaohua feel disgusted.

After speaking, Wen Lang snatched the crab from Wu Xiang's hand and shook it in front of Wu Xiaohua.

The unique aroma of the girl's body made him want to get closer a little uncontrollably. He approached Wu Xiaohua and said to Wu Xiaohua with contempt: "Wu Xiaohua...... Look at you, what are you wearing? Yes? Tsk, just this kind of rag, wipe the feet of the group of aunts and wives in my house, they are all too rough to panic! A girl's family, not staying at home, has to go out to catch the sea...... How dangerous! What to do if you get bitten by a sea snake? What should I do if I am swept away by the waves? However, if you want to get out of this life, it is not without opportunities...... Alas! I know, you like that Shanghai man, but do people like you? People have baby relatives...... How can I be like me, who knows the roots...... Anyway, we grew up together, didn't we? All right! Even if he likes you, he can't guarantee that he won't give up in the future......"

"Phew! Be silent! You don't deserve to mention him! I was bitten and swept away, and I have nothing to do with you! You grew up with me...... How old am I? How old are you? Don't panic! The crab's legs kicked the messy hair in front of Wu Xiaohua's forehead, and Wu Xiaohua dodged to the side in disgust, as if the crab that had been touched by Wen Lang also became dirty.

Wu Xiaohua took a step back, turned to Wu Xiang and said, "Daddy, aren't there still so many clams?" Daddy, let's go! If we pick up less, we will sell less! ”

The father and daughter went to the fish market, and after some tossing and turning, no one would accept their goods.

"Go back, girl! How many people have died of starvation and disease in these years? It's not easy to get into a rich family...... You should cherish it! Don't embarrass us! ”

Under the revelation of a kind-hearted hawker, Wu Xiaohua knew that these traders who came to buy marine fish had already been ordered by Wen Lang, and no one dared to accept her goods at all.

"Please! My children are still waiting to be cured! ”

Over the years, Wu Xiang's hard spirit has long been consumed by such a day-to-day life. Even when kneeling down to a stranger, he didn't feel ashamed.

"Daddy, what are you doing! Don't kneel! Don't kneel them! We don't ask for them! If they don't take it, forget it, it's a big deal that we take it home and eat it ourselves......"

Before Wu Xiaohua's words fell, Wu Xiang stood up suddenly, shook his hand and slapped Wu Xiaohua in the face, making Wu Xiaohua stumble, her eyes were full of stars, and her head was "buzzing".

"Daddy......"

Wu Xiaohua was beaten by her father in public, painful and sad, and her tears rolled down like beads with broken threads.

Wu Xiang glanced at Wen Lang, who came in the carriage triumphantly, pointed at Wu Xiaohua's nose, and roared loudly: "You dead girl! Why is your heart so ruthless! You just want to watch you die! You have no conscience, just as ruthless as your shameless aunt! The same cold-blooded! The same ruthlessness! ”

"Daddy...... I didn't...... How could I be willing to let Ah Xian die...... Dad...... I didn't have ......"

Tears of sadness and grievance burst out of his eyes and flowed wantonly on his cheeks. She hadn't seen her mother since she could remember, and her father told everyone that her mother hated the poor and loved the rich, so she ran away with a businessman in Shanghai.

"None? Why don't you follow Young Master Wen without you? Young Master Wen is so good to you! You are the daughter of a begging man, how can you make Young Master Wen look down on you! If you had followed him earlier, your illness might have been cured a long time ago! I look at you, I obviously don't want you to live! ”

Wu Xiang's words are just for Wen Lang. Wen Lang smiled secretly, jumped out of the carriage, and pretended to look away.

"Daddy......" Wu Xiaohua wiped her tears and swallowed all the grievances and unwillingness, "Okay...... Good ......" She walked up to Wen Lang, with tears in her eyes, and said in a dumb voice, "Young Master Wen, please...... Help me heal my illness, I am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse. ”

Wen Lang turned his head, sighed, and said, "What about me?" Wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier? Isn't it just a cure...... Oops, what cow? What kind of horses are you doing? Be my aunt's wife with peace of mind, enjoy the glory and wealth, and spread the branches for my Wen family, even if you repay me! Okay, okay, stop crying...... Your dad raised you so big with a handful of and urine, and it is not natural to teach you a lesson? ”

Relying on coercion and temptation again and again, Wen Lang finally achieved his goal. He hugged Wu Xiaohua with a smile, one hand secretly moved wildly, and the other hand wiped away Wu Xiaohua's tears with a handkerchief embroidered with his name given by an unknown woman. In the end, he gave the handkerchief to Wu Xiaohua, and pretended to say affectionately: "This handkerchief is a token of love between the two of us!" Go back and pack up, and I'll pick you up myself tonight! ”

"I want to carry a sedan chair eight times, and I want to enter through the front door!" After Wu Xiaohua finished making the request, she took the handkerchief and stood to the side, avoiding his restless hand.

"Well said! I'm in charge of everything in my house! Wen Lang nodded to the servants on the side, and the entourage took out the two bags of silver dollars that had been prepared long ago and handed them to Wen Lang, Wen Lang stuffed the money bag into Wu Xiang's hand, and said with a smile: "Bride price!" Take it to see your brother-in-law! Goodbye! Father-in-law! ”

"Again...... Goodbye! Goodbye! Young Master Wen walks slowly! ”

Wen Lang rode in the carriage full of foreign air with an awning

Wu Xiang said goodbye to Wen Lang, opened the heavy money bag, and his eyes lit up in disbelief. It was definitely the most money he'd ever seen in his life.

"Daddy! That's great! Ah Xi is saved! ”

Wu Xiaohua stared at the tears and smiled, and temporarily forgot about what she was about to do for Wen Lang.

Wu Xiang unloaded the basket, handed one of the bags of silver dollars to Wu Xiaohua, and ordered: "I'll go and ask the doctor, you go and buy some delicious food for Ah Xi!" Oh yes, buy yourself a new outfit! Buy some rouge gouache and get dressed up! ”

"Hmmm! Daddy, be careful on the road! ”

Wu Xiaohua nodded vigorously, and her heart was still pounding.

The father and daughter parted ways, one went to the most famous local doctor, and the other rushed to the downtown to buy a dowry.

It's just that no one could have imagined that this parting would be forever.
