It was already morning, and the fog on the sea was still very strong.

The turbid yellow waters are surging and tumbling, and the waves crash against the mottled fishing boats, and the water droplets are flying all over the sky.

Wang Yi stood on the bow of the ship and looked ahead, his eyes were full of overwhelming sea fog.

The sky and the sea are connected by mist.

I can't see the sky from above.

I can't see the sea in the distance.

There is only a white expanse between the sea and the sky.

He was also at a loss in his heart.

A few days ago, a government official from Weng Zhou suddenly contacted him and asked him to go back to his hometown Wangjia Village.

Wangjia Village is a village on an island, the island is called Tianya Island, the island is dilapidated and vacant, and now there are no residents.

The local government is preparing to attract investment to develop the vacant islands off the coast, and in order to avoid property disputes, it requires the residents of the outer islands who have moved out to return to the islands to hand over the land.

Wang Yi was not deeply impressed by his hometown, he was taken to live in the inland by his father when he was less than a year old, and then he lost his father when he was young, and his knowledge of his hometown Tianya Village is limited to his father's memories and some old photos.

It stands to reason that the Weng Chau government should not contact him in this case.

However, after some investigation, the government found that there were few people left in Wangjia Village who could be contacted, and almost all of them were elderly people with limited mobility, so they contacted Wang Yi and asked him to preside over the village property inventory on behalf of the village.

For this reason, the local government also gave him an old genealogy that he didn't know where to find it, and another one gave him a village information and statistics book.

He was contemplating the sea and pondering the matter of this trip, the iron-hulled boat rocked, and Uncle Bo, the boss of the boat who was responsible for sending him to the island, came over with a smile:

"What does the little fellow think? More timid in the hometown, afraid to ask people? ”

These words made Wang Yi laugh.

He didn't expect the dark-skinned old boatman, who always smiled and showed two yellow teeth, to come up with such a crepe poem.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that Uncle Bo understood people's hearts very well, and when he saw him laughing, he guessed what he meant:

"What's wrong? Do you think that I can only speak foul words and do rough work? ”

Wang Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, I heard from the leader Zhou who received me, and said that Uncle Bo, you are an old sea wolf, a know-it-all in Fuhai, and a person who has seen the world." ”

Uncle Bo laughed, pretending to be old-fashioned and said: "Xiao Zhou's words are not an exaggeration, Uncle I dare not say anything else, I have indeed seen the world." ”

Wang Yi took out the prepared Huazi and gave him one.

Suddenly, the gray smoke was ethereal.

The sea fog became choking.

Through the smoke, Uncle Bo's cloudy eyes turned a little deeper.

"Good smoke," he said, "Hou Sheng, listen to Xiao Zhou, when you were a baby, you were taken by your father and mother to leave Tianya Island and go to Shanghai, then you shouldn't know the history of our outer islands." ”

"I really know this," Wang Yi said, "In 1934, Fuhai on the outer islands began to build a town, and then Fuhai Town was built, and then gradually there was FH County. ”

"Push forward in the Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty, when the champion Zhang Jian Industrial Salvation opened the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Fishery Company, at that time there were fishing boats in the Fuhai area to start operations, since then Fuhai has become an important fishing port."

Uncle Bo, who was about to pretend to be forced away, was stunned: "Huh? Didn't you leave us before you turned one? So how do you know these things? ”

Wang Yi said: "My father told me before his death that he had a lot of affection for his hometown, but he was a teacher, and later he was transferred to the inland to teach and had to leave his hometown. ”

Uncle Bo said with a smile: "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, I miss my relatives every festival." Which wanderer who has no feelings for his hometown? ”

He returned to the topic and regrouped and began to pretend: "There are four major fishing floods in our hometown fishing ground, the small yellow fish flood in spring, the cuttlefish flood and the big yellow croaker flood in summer, and the fish fish flood in winter, has your father told you about these fishing floods?" ”

Wang Yi was about to speak, but Uncle Bo looked at him with sharp eyes.

Can this society still be better? How can we pretend to be forced as seniors?

Noticing this look, Wang Yi turned around when he spit out the words in his throat and said, "My father didn't talk about this." ”

Uncle Bo spit out a smoke ring with satisfaction and said, "Then I'm going to give you a good lecture today, why do you want to talk about this?" ”

"Because don't look at the population of our outer islands now, it used to be wide."

"Let's just say that this fishing flood in the seventies and eighties, especially the winter fish flood, this is the highest output and the largest scale of the four major fishing floods, starting from the beginning of winter, small snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, until the cold."

"At that time, our Fuhai Island was lively, with a population of less than 50,000 people, and when the winter fishing and flood begins, I tell you that you don't believe it - at that time, hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of boats will come to the coast of the whole country at once!"

Wang Yi let out an exclamation at the right time.

Uncle Bo gave him a 'you are very sensible' look.

He took another puff of his cigarette and said: "Together with the fishing and flooding, hundreds of large and small fishing and flood headquarters will emerge on our various islands, and at least more than 100,000 people will come, this is called the fishing and flood battle!" ”

"But Fuhai has so many people and so many headquarters at once, how can there be a house? So what to do? ”

"Our island is enthusiastic, we are all fighting for the country and the collective, so every household accepts comrades-in-arms from all over the world to participate in the general battle, and there are not so many beds, so everyone will lay on the floor and eat a big pot of rice."

"To say something that you young people can't understand now, no matter where you are at that time, as long as you see us Daozai shouting 'comrade', then you are our relatives - at that time, people were simple, everyone followed *** and went forward with all their strength, their hearts went together, and they worked hard to build a strong socialist New China!"

"So the comrades are here, our island boy will never pull his crotch, and the members themselves put forward a slogan called "two only!"

Speaking of this, he became excited, waved his fist vigorously, and said solemnly: "As long as there is a place to lie down at home, I will not let comrades sleep on the street!" As long as there is a mouthful of food in the pot, it is not called a comrade hungry! ”

"In fact, it's easy to eat and sleep, the main reason is that the headquarters has no place to lay it, and the living room, side rooms, and bedrooms have to be used, and some are even placed in the people's kitchens, so that when it's time to cook, the headquarters will have to be disbanded!"

Wang Yi laughed.

He saw that the old man had only one cigarette left in his hand, so he took out another cigarette and handed it over.

The old man didn't smoke directly this time, he first looked at the brand on the cigarette roll, and found that it was Huazi and put it on his ear and clamped it.

Wang Yi said: "It must have been very lively at that time. ”

Uncle Bo's face showed a look of remembrance: "It's so lively, you can't see that scene for the rest of your life." ”

"Hardware stores and supply and marketing cooperatives have been emptied! Gas station - at that time, it was not called a gas station, it was called an industrial oil service cooperative, and the inventory of the industrial oil service cooperatives bottomed out! ”

"The door of the grain management office is opened, and the rice and noodles are all out! Grocery stores are always in short supply! ”

"All units have to work overtime!"

"The hospital doctor is going to the wharf to camp, the militia is working day and night to protect the catch from the reactionaries from sabotage, and slogans are hung everywhere - all to win the battle of the fishing and flood races!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his body trembled.

Wang Yi didn't know if he had high blood pressure, so he hurriedly handed him mineral water to ease his mood.

Uncle Bo pushed it away and said, "I'm not thirsty, listen to me, this is not the most lively place, do you know where the most lively is?" ”

Wang Yi shook his head.

Uncle Bo smiled: "Remind you, it's related to the plane!" ”

Wang Yi was shocked: "Something to do with chickens? At that time, the social atmosphere was so upright, why did we ...... here?"

But this answer is also reasonable, after all, hundreds of thousands of fishermen gather in one place.

As a result, Uncle Bo slapped him and laughed: "What do you think? It's a motor shop by the dock! That's all about repairing three machines, do you know what three machines are? ”

Wang Yi shook his head awkwardly.

He really didn't know about that.

Uncle Bo said: "It's a walkie-talkie, a fish detector and a radio. ”

"At that time, there were really a lot of people, and there were really many boats, I remember 7, 73 years, yes, in 73 years, there were more than 80,000 people who came to our Fuhai Fishing Ground to operate, and the boats were 5,800, and in 83 years, there were 250,000 fishermen and 10,000 boats!"

"At that time, our commune had to shout slogans, shouting that the off-season became the peak season! What big fish and small fish, fish father, fish ancestor, caviar and fish grandchildren are all in one net! ”

At this point he began to sigh, a sad look on his face.

Wang Yi subconsciously said: "This is overfishing." ”

Uncle Bo lowered his head and said, "Yes, but I didn't understand this truth at that time, thinking that the sea was inexhaustible." ”

As a result, Wang Xiaoer celebrated the New Year, and every year was not as good as the year. Resources are declining, and they can't be flooded—it's uncomfortable! ”

Wang Yi handed him another cigarette.

Uncle Bo put his hand on the other ear, took out a pack of Liqun and took one in his mouth:

"Now many of our wild things here are extinct, big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail fish and squid, these are the four big fish we are proud of."

"What is a domestic fish? Every household can catch fish, but now except for the hairtail, there are no wild yellow croakers and cuttlefish. ”

"My grandson is fifteen years old this year, and if you put the big yellow croaker cub and the small yellow croaker together, as long as there is no difference in size, he can't even tell the difference."

"How can you imagine this in seven or eight years!"

Wang Yi sighed with him.

Uncle Bo told him about the past of the fishing and flood battles that year.

Only when this topic is brought up will he be high-spirited.

As the sun got higher and higher, the sea fog became lighter and lighter, and finally Uncle Bo's son, who was driving the boat, shouted 'Tianya Island', Wang Yi's body was shocked by the shout, and he hurriedly looked up.

By this time it was far from the shore, and the water was no longer a muddy grayish-yellow, but a clear turquoise.

But that's not a good thing.

The turbidity of the sea off Weng Chau has nothing to do with pollution, but because the warm current of Duwan in the south flows northward along the southern coastline, and the cold current of the Devil in the north and the cold current of the Yellow Sea flow southward along the northern coastline.

In addition, three large rivers flow into the sea, bringing a large amount of sediment, and the combination of fresh water and sea water forms a mixed tide unique to the coast.

The sediments on the seabed float to provide food for marine life, and the mixed tides provide them with habitat, which is why the Fuhai Fishing Ground was born.

The waters around Tianya Island are clear, and when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the catch is often not good in such an environment.

The blue sea is a turquoise island.

The island is full of mountains, and there are quite a few trees on the mountain, but the reason why they look green is because there are many vines growing on the mountain.

Green vines climb, covering from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there are houses without doors and windows, which are also covered with green vines, empty and deserted.

Uncle Bo was a little embarrassed: "Tianya Village used to be very lively, it was a big village, and the village party secretary Wang Xianghong was a capable person. ”

"There is also a veteran in your village, I heard that he made great contributions to the fight against US imperialism in North Korea, and it was only found out after the government checked the archives in the past two years, we didn't know at the time, I saw him when I was young......"

As he spoke, he shook his head again, not knowing what he remembered, and his face was even more embarrassed.

"Many of the outer islands are deserted like this now," he said in a deep voice, "it wasn't like this before, but in the seventies and eighties, it was so lively. ”

Tianya Island also has a wharf to connect to the sea, fishing boats docked on this rickety wharf, Wang Yi carried a camping bag on his back and two large suitcases to go to the wharf.

Uncle Bo helped him very enthusiastically, and the two suitcases were very large and heavy.

Back on the boat, he said: "We live in Cam Ranh Island, not far from here, Xiao Zhou entrusted me to take care of you, so you need to call me, but the signal here is not good, you should be careful when calling." ”

Wang Yi smiled: "Okay, uncle, thank you." ”

The rumbling of the fishing boat gradually faded away.

Wang Yi withdrew his gaze and went ashore carefully.

Although the fog dissipated, the sea was humid and the island's stone roads were covered with moss.

He had to walk carefully, otherwise he would slip and fall easily.

The sea water crashes on the shore and makes a 'bang, bang, bang'.

In spring, everything recovers, birds and insects are common, and there is a 'chirp' sound from time to time.

Occasionally, a steamer whistled in the distance.

But there is no voice.

He vaguely felt that he had been abandoned by human society!

The houses in Tianya Village are mainly scattered in the northeast, southeast and west, and the wharf connects to the southeast corner of the island.

Wang Yi put down his luggage and found the village information statistics book and the old family tree, but as soon as he got started with the two booklets, he felt that something was wrong, and there was something more in the old family tree.

He opened the old family tree and saw that there was an ancient style green key inside!

The key is a crystal clear turquoise, as if carved from jade, with the thickness of the little finger and the length of the middle finger.

Looking at this key, he wondered, when did this thing exist in the family tree?

He picked up the booklet and walked to the nearest red brick and gray tile house.

It was an old house with mottled walls, desolate and decaying.

The collapse of the gate was connected by an ancient iron lock, so Wang Yi looked at the iron lock and the jade key in his hand, and tried to insert it.

It is not matched, the lock hole of the iron lock is larger, and the jade key is directly inserted into it.

But he still habitually twisted it.

And then—

'Click' sounded.

The lock is open!

The door then opened, revealing an old-fashioned storeroom about 100 square meters in size.

Only the doors have no windows, and they are empty.

Wang Yi walked in tentatively, and then he felt that something was wrong: behind the gate is a courtyard, how could there be a warehouse directly?

At this moment, the door behind him closed automatically!

Silent shut-off!

It was pitch black in front of his eyes!

This scared him so much that he shrank on the spot: it's a little weird, he has to run away quickly, he can't stay on this island, he has to go back to the mainland quickly!

The old house in the deserted village and Yeling automatically closes, this is the standard plot of ghost movies!

Wang Yi hurriedly went to pull the door.

The door opened smoothly, and he immediately walked out.

The sun was shining outside the door.

The sting made him close his eyes.

And as the door opened, a loud and high-pitched shout came into his ears:

"The great *** teaches us that our educational policy should enable the educated to develop in moral, intellectual, and physical education, and become socialist-conscious and educated workers!"

"For the revolution to protect eyesight and prevent myopia, eye exercises start now."

"Close your eyes!"
