Chapter 277: Blue Tears
After a few days of uproar in the village, except for the victim still scolding Ye Yaohong's house every day, the people who watched the excitement stopped a lot, after all, they still had to prepare for the New Year.
In fact, some of the victims are relatives, scolding and scolding, but they really can't do much too much, and in addition to the villagers, there are also people who fish in troubled waters who seem to be chaotic.
But everyone has been arrested, and just scolding is useless, after scolding for a few days, everyone should do what to do, even if Ye Datang's sister-in-law can get out of bed, she doesn't dare to come out and walk around, and the family doesn't dare to go out.
I heard that children will be beaten by their peers when they go out, and as long as they go out every day, they will have a blue nose and swollen face when they go back, and their bodies will be covered with mud, as if they have rolled through the mud.
Ye Yaodong was helping his wife dry sweet potatoes when he heard Ye Chenghai come back and say that Ye Yaohong's two little ones were beaten.
Lin Xiuqing paused as he cut the sweet potatoes and shook his head, "The sins of the big man want the children to bear it."
"Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as a father paying a debt to a son?"
"I don't know how the sentence will be, I heard that I have received a detention notice, and even my second cousin has been arrested. The aunt's eyes were swollen from crying, and the uncle said that he was going to the county to see if he could visit, and only the orphans and widows were left in a good family."
"So it's better to work down-to-earth to earn money, don't think about it so much."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "Well, that's right, it's good to work down-to-earth, as long as you are willing to work, it's not too late."
Ye Yaodong listened to the meaningful words, laughed a few times, and hurriedly rushed to work, "I'll cut, I'll cut, you go wash your hands and rest for a while, you should have a sore back after standing for so long, right?" Ye Chenghai, help your third aunt to rest."
"Ah, can't the third aunt go by herself, do you still have to help? It's not a ......."
"Looking for a fight, huh? Do whatever you want to do, and say so much."
Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Yaodong, "It's just you!"
"Go and rest, there's not much."
Ye Yaodong took the knife in her hand, sliced it according to the action she had just done, and dried it until he finished cutting all the sweet potatoes in the basin, and then he put away the kitchen knife and cutting board.
Dried sweet potatoes are also a rare snack for children, everyone circled around the bamboo flat and asked when they could eat, and those who couldn't wait to reach out were photographed by him.
"It's delicious when it's dry, otherwise you throw a few into the stove first, and the rice is just baked at noon to relieve your cravings, and the roast is also very fragrant."
A group of children sucked their saliva, and then went home one after another to steal sweet potatoes, and then wrapped them in mud and stuffed them all into the stove of Ye Yaodong's house, and they didn't dare......
There are Charizards in the house, where do they dare to engage in nonsense, they can't eat without being beaten, and now only the third uncle's house is safer.
Then one noon, all the children waited around the stove, asked questions from time to time, and came running over after eating, and stayed at his house all day.
And for a few days in a row, his house was their base camp, and they were noisy every day, and they came back after driving them out for a while, Ye Yaodong regretted it, what sweet potatoes did he bake for them?
It wasn't until the twenty-fourth year of the lunar month that everyone stayed at their own home, because there were too many things to eat in the sacrificial stove.
Ye Yaodong also rode his bicycle to the town early in the morning to buy fruits and candies and other things to be sacrificed, and he had to put ten things, apples, oranges, sugar cane, grapefruit, candy, olives, rice cakes, plate sugar, sweet potatoes, New Year's sugar, and there were also gold ingots, three teas and three wines, and a bowl of water.
There is no rule on what sacrifice to use, the meaning of auspiciousness is OK, and eight or ten things can be used.
The children were excited, and they were all waiting for the stove to be eaten.
The food that people have eaten can not be used to sacrifice the stove, the family will buy New Year's candy on this day, and the children will try their best to eat it in their mouths, and the sacrificial stove sugar must be put in advance to avoid this situation.
Whether it is to worship ancestors or gods, you must never use the food you have eaten, lest it backfire.
Although Chinese New Year's Eve is the beginning of the new year, Xiaonian has officially kicked off the New Year, which is called the "busy year", that is, it is beginning to get busy and prepare for the New Year.
Get ready
New Year's goods, dust removal and welcome the new year, except for some families who have suffered heavy losses, every household in the village is immersed in a busy and cheerful atmosphere.
After the sacrifice is finished, after the gold ingots are burned, the sacrifices are removed from the time when the children in the family are the happiest, and the children are most looking forward to the New Year all year round.
But Ye Yaodong felt that the sea surface was a little different when it got dark?
He looked up and felt that when the sea had just washed away, he saw "blue tears".
If you look closely, a blue light and shadow appear in the waves, "Huh? It's really, Ah Qing~"
"Huh? Why?"
"Come out and have a look."
Lin Xiuqing wiped her hands when she heard the sound and walked out, "What's the matter, it's dark, why don't you come in and ask me to come out?"
"I told you to come out and see the sea together!"
"Neurotic, you? If you die cold, you don't come into the house and ask me to come out to see what kind of sea? It's not like I haven't seen it." Z.br>
As soon as she walked out of the door, she wanted to turn around and go in, but she didn't bother to talk to him, but he pulled her back, "Look at it!"
"See...... Yes? Blue? What's going on? How did the water turn blue?"
Lin Xiuqing was halfway through speaking, and when she looked up, she just saw a wave of waves washing, bringing up a blue wave, which looked strange and good-looking?
"This is called Blue Tears, I didn't expect a red tide to occur in the winter!"
In fact, it is not called blue tears now, and the villagers think that it is a kind of red tide, because every time this thing comes out, there is basically no receipt when it goes to sea.
"Blue tears" is a bioluminescent phenomenon, a type of red tide, which is naturally distributed along the coasts of Fujian Province, Wanwan and other places.
Its originators are dinoflagellates or sea fireflies. The appearance of most blue tears is mainly represented by fluorescent algae.
This noctilucent algae is prone to local aggregation due to the action of tides, wind, and water currents, and will produce light blue fluorescence when stimulated by the outside world.
Generally, late spring and early summer are suitable for the reproduction of noctilucent algae, and when the density of noctilucent algae in seawater is high, it is easy to form "blue tears" visible to the naked eye.
Unexpectedly, there was a rare red tide this winter, which is not a good phenomenon.
The explosive proliferation of noctilucent algae tends to spread from south to north from January to February. Start with Hainan, then Guangdong Province will also appear, and then Fujian Province... Gradually to the north.
As soon as he spoke, blue wavy lines appeared one after another, and the two babies in the family ran out when they saw their father and mother outside.
As a result, when he looked at the sea level, he shouted in surprise, "Ah, our sea has turned blue, so beautiful~ Brother Hai, Brother Jiang...... Hurry up and get out......
The children of the two families next door were eating the sacrifices that had been removed, and when they heard his call, they also ran out of the house, and then there were bursts of exclamations, and the adults in the family were also attracted to run out.
"Huh? Is it a red tide?"
"Why did the red tide happen all of a sudden?"
The children jumped up and down with joy, "It's so beautiful, our water is becoming glowing."
"It's blue."
"Daddy, can we go down to the beach?"
"It's high tide, go anywhere, it's dark."
"But it's so pretty......
"Just look at it from the shore."
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "Fortunately, it's blue, if it's red, it will have a big impact."
Fortunately, there are no farmers in this era, and now no one goes to sea, and they all have a break for the New Year, which has little impact on everyone, so it is not that I don't know when to retreat.
Lin Xiuqing also said at this time, "It's weird and good-looking, but aren't all red tides?"
"Not necessarily, depending on which kind of sea creature caused it, it can be of any color."
"Will there be a pile of dead fish on the beach tomorrow?"
"Blue tears are just blue eyes, noctilucent algae are non-toxic algae that don't kill fish."
"That's fine."
Everyone was watching and discussing at the door, the red tide is not every year, and the blue one is still the first time for everyone.
Several children filled their pockets with snacks and watched the scenery while eating, and they were all seeing "blue tears" for the first time.
The snot was blown by the sea breeze, and they were still reluctant to enter the house, and they were still shouted and scolded by the families, so they were all pulled back and asked to see it again tomorrow.
The next morning, my pockets were full of candy and I couldn't wait to run to the village to share the "blue tears" I saw last night with my friends.
Speaking with a colorful voice, dancing and gesturing, and describing with their limited adjectives, a group of children who provoked a group of children screamed and screamed, and the adults also knew about it.
After dinner, most of the people of the village came to the beach and waited.
When night fell, the blue tears were still there, and the waves washed out blue ripples one after another, and when the waves hit, the reef area also brought out a blue dazzling light.
The children didn't understand the origin of this phenomenon, they just thought it was really beautiful, and jumped up and shouted happily one by one.
But the phenomenon of blue tears did not last long, it only lasted for three days, and when everyone came out to see it on the fourth night, it was gone, and it had already receded.
Although it is good-looking, the villagers are also relieved, and it will not affect everyone to go to sea after the New Year.
