When Qu Hai returned home, his wife, Jiang, and son, Qu Haizi, were mending fishing nets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jiang Shi saw him with a worried look and said, "Husband, looking at your sad face, could it be that the third uncle has also lost his mind?"
Qu Hai lit three sticks of incense, inserted them on the incense table, finished these things, picked up the fishing net, looked at it, and said, "Have the fishing nets been repaired? There is a way, but it's not a good way. ”
Jiang stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "It's not a good way, what kind of method is that?"
Qu Hai sighed and said, "Hey, the third uncle wants us to go fishing on Seven Star Island!"
Jiang Shi frowned, Qu Haizi put down the fishing net, and said, "Daddy, isn't Seven Star Island not allowed to go?
Qu Hai said: "Haizi, you go and clean up, let's set off, the third ancestor asked the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and the ancestors promised to let us go, there should be no problem; ”
Haizi followed his father to the beach with fishing gear, and there were already many people waiting in the boat, and he heard a boy standing and shouting: "Haizi, why are you only here now, grinding and chirping, I and Xiaoshi have swam in the sea a few times." ”
Qu Haizi followed the prestige, and there were two boys standing on a boat, who were generally tall and short, and who were all dark, the one who had called him before was Xiao Yu'er's surname Jiang, and the other one was surnamed Ji, who was called Xiao Shi.
Ji Xiaoshi shouted: "Haizi, don't look at it, it's us, hurry up, Xiao Yu'er and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Seeing that the two partners were waiting for him, Qu Haizi agreed, put the fishing gear on his father's boat, and ran towards them.
A black dog more than three feet tall and shiny in oil jumped out of the boat and ran towards him, wagging its tail and being very affectionate.
Qu Haizi bent down and picked up the black dog, jumped into the boat, and said, "Little fish, how do you bring the black loach?"
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "It came with itself, I will let it come, maybe it can help." ”
Qu Haizi put down the black dog and said with a smile: "Black loach, then I want to see your performance today." ”
The black loach glanced at him, jumped out of the boat, "plopped", plunged into the water, and disappeared
Qu Haizi and the three of them stood on the boat and looked into the water with interest.
With a cup of tea, the black loach surfaced, took a fish in its mouth, and swam to the side of the boat in high spirits.
Jiang Xiaoyu pulled the black loach onto the boat, took the sea fish from its mouth, patted its head, and said happily: "The black loach is good, it is a good sign, and I will definitely be able to catch the auspicious fish today." ”
The black loach caught a fish as soon as it hit the water, which aroused the fighting spirit of Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them, and they were all gearing up, eager to go to the Seven Star Island to do a big job immediately.
The loud snail horn sounded, and more than 40 fishing boats, large and small, sailed out of the shallows and sailed towards Qixing Island.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them are half-sized, because they often work in the water, their strength is not small, and they are not far behind when they row the boat, and they were once in front.
When the other men in the prime of life saw this, they were not convinced, but they plucked up their strength, tensed their hands, and danced the oars like a roulette wheel.
Qixing Island has a total of seven small islands, located on the edge of a scattered island, not far from Sanjia Village, only a few dozen miles of waterways.
There are so many islands on the sea, why do the people of Sanjia Village regard this place as a holy place alone?
The reason is that each small island of Seven Star Island is only a few dozen zhang square, and the size and even appearance are the same, all of them are as round as the stars in the sky.
Not only that, but the four islands are arranged in a square, and the other three islands are arranged in a curved tail, and the distance between each island is the same, half a mile apart, corresponding to the Big Dipper in the sky.
There are hundreds of large and small islands around Qixing Island, and these islands are arranged in an irregular manner, like stars in the sky, and you can't see what kind of image it is, and the fishermen of the three fishing villages gave it the name of "Baixing Island".
The fishermen of Sanjia Village rarely come here to fish, one is afraid of violating the rules of their ancestors, and the most important thing is that there is no need to come here, because there are many shallow fish in the sea near the village.
In less than half an hour, the fishermen of Sanjia Village came to the "Baixing Island".
The leading fisherman called Jiang Yu, who was Xiao Yu'er's father, he stopped the boat first and said: "Folks, everyone will be separated, take care of each other, try not to stay away from this island, the wind and waves are strong outside, be careful to make the boat for ten thousand years." ”
He said and glanced at Xiao Yu'er, "Especially young men, don't do what you can, you must do what you can." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's surname was Dunhou, and when he was glanced at by his father, he lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, looking very embarrassed.
Qu Haizi was naughty, he rowed the oar and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry, we will take care of ourselves." ”
The time was not early, Jiang Yu said "um", which was a promise, he didn't say anything more, and the people on the boat rowed towards an island with oars.
Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them didn't dare to make a mistake, so they chose an island close to the adults to fish.
Ji Xiaoshi rowed, Jiang Xiaoyu and Qu Haizi stood at one end of the boat, casting nets around the island, black loaches with their feet on the side of the boat, looking down at the water.
The fishing boat circled around the island for half a circle, and the fish were caught, but the fish caught were not big, and Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly disappointed.
At this moment, the black loach let out a low "whining" sound, and its whole body stood up.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Qu Haizi heard the sound, turned around and looked at it, and the three of them glanced at each other, there was a situation in the water.
Ji Xiaoshi gestured to the two, and the two tiptoed to the black loach with a fishing net, and looked into the water, a big auspicious fish, and the fins on its back were still red.
The breathing of the three of them became rough, Jiang Xiaoyu touched the head of the black loach with his hand, and said softly: "Black loach, don't make a sound." ”
The black loach was silent, but its eyes had not yet taken off the fish in the water.
Qu Haizi quietly cast the net down, and the net was caught in the net, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly closed the net.
He was in such a hurry that he alarmed the auspicious fish, and his body twisted violently, pulling him to a stumbling side.
Qu Haizi said in mid-air: "Little fish, little stone, hurry up and help!"
Before the words fell, there was a sound of water, Qu Haizi fell into the water, and was pulled out a few feet away in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, jumped into the water with a "plop", crossed his arms, and swam towards Qu Haizi.
The black loach couldn't hold it back, kicked its hind legs, jumped into the water, stuck out its tongue, paddled on all fours, and followed.
In order to prevent the boat from capsizing, Ji Xiaoshi grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, turned his back to them, and squatted on the other side, he felt that the boat was crooked a few times, and then heard a "bang" sound and a shout.
When he looked back, Qu Haizi was gone, and there was another "plop" sound, and the little fish also jumped into the water, and before he came back to his senses, he made another "plop" sound, and even the black dog jumped down.
Ji Xiaoshi stood up, first stabilized the boat, and looked at it blankly for a while, even the black loach had already swam far away, so he hurriedly sat down and rowed after him.
The redfin auspicious fish has great strength, and has been dragging Qu Haizi away, Qu Haizi holds the fishing net with his wrist, holds it tightly and does not let go, half of his body floats in the water, half sinks in the water, his eyes are blurred, and he is careful not to change his breath, so as not to drink seawater.
Jiang Xiaoyu paddled hard, cruising in the water like a black fish, it was already fast enough, but it still fell far behind Qu Haizi.
After rowing a distance of dozens of zhang, Jiang Xiaoyu was too anxious and used too much force, which would be a little out of breath, so he stopped and adjusted.
When he saw someone in front of him stopping the boat to help, he shouted, "No need to help, we can catch it ourselves." ”
After speaking, he adjusted his breath and continued to chase after him.
The people who wanted to help in front heard Jiang Xiaoyu's shout, and when they saw him in a hurry, they all laughed and went to do their own thing.
The auspicious fish was caught in the fishing net, anxious to break free from the fishing net, and twisted desperately, although Qu Haizi was good at swimming, after all, he was dragged into the water, and his hands had to grab the fishing net, and he couldn't let it go.
He choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater because of this, but fortunately he held his breath in time, and finally he was not choked, and that's it, the strength in his hand couldn't help but loosen a little, and the fishing net spread a corner.
The auspicious fish suddenly loosened its body and dived into the water, and the fishing net on the fish's body floated, revealing a large gap, and it turned around and swam towards the gap.
Time was pressing, and Qu Haizi couldn't help but think more, he also dived into the water, to catch the corner of the fishing net that was released, and a man and a fish started a comparison in the water.
The auspicious fish took a step slowly, and the loosened fishing net was newly held in Qu Haizi's hand, it saw that the situation was not good, turned its head, swam out of the water, and just poked its head out, Jiang Xiaoyu had already rushed to it.
Jiang Xiaoyu reached out to grab the head of the auspicious fish, but was separated by the fishing net, but he didn't catch it, the auspicious fish flashed his hand, turned his head and left.
When Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to catch it again, the lucky fish had already swam half of his body, so he had to reach out and grab the fishing net, but he pulled the fishing net open.
Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly let go, it was still too late, the auspicious fish gained momentum, and suddenly made a fish leap and jumped out of the water.
Qu Haizi, who was behind, was taken out of the water more than half a foot high, and when he fell, he smashed on the water fiercely, and he couldn't catch it in one breath, and his hand was loosened.
Jiang Xiaoyu was in a hurry, stretched out his hand to catch it, and really caught a corner of the fishing net for him, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his body was pulled out.
Qu Haizi fell into the water, he lost his breath, the strength of his hands and feet suddenly disappeared, he felt that his body was sinking, and he wanted to call someone for help, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Just when Qu Haizi was confused, someone pulled him out of the water and put him on the boat, and the person first lifted him up and kneaded his stomach.
With a few sounds, Qu Haizi spit out the seawater, and the others also became a little conscious, feeling that the person pinched his acupuncture points hard.
Then he put a fluffy head close to his face, stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, adding to his nose along with his nose.
A fishy smell rushed to his nose, and Qu Haizi came to his senses, the person was none other than the little stone that was rowing behind him, and it was the black loach that licked his face.
Ji Xiaoshi saw that he was awake and said, "Haizi, are you okay, you scared me out just now, and my eyes rolled white." If you're okay, we'll go after Xiao Yu'er, and I see that he was taken by the fish in the direction of Seven Star Island. ”
People who grew up by the sea, even if they choked on the water, recovered quickly, and when Xiaoshi spoke, Qu Haizi stood up.
He moved his muscles and bones and said, "Little Stone, we have to hurry up and help Xiao Yu'er, that fish is not simple." What do you eat, black loach, your mouth stinks so much?"
There are many people and great strength, and two people rowing a boat is much faster than one person, and with a cup of tea, they came to the waters of Seven Star Island.
Ji Xiaoshi and Qu Haizi stopped the boat, and stood at the end of the fishing boat to explore Qixing Island, and at a glance, the seven small islands could be seen.
