Haicheng, surrounded by the sea on three sides, there are several small islands in the sea, there are all kinds of people living on the islands, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, and the people here basically rely on fishing to make a living, which is their innate advantageous conditions.

When a few people entered the city, they were greeted by a lively scene, although this place was not as good as the Nine Song City, most of the people here were dressed in coarse linen clothes, but you could see the pleasure they exuded from the inside out on their faces.

The children wore straw sandals woven from hay on their feet, and they ran around and still had a good time, and the adults set up stalls in front of their houses to sell knick-knacks, some made all sorts of baskets out of the extremely flexible branches, and some dragonflies and other unnamed animals, all living peacefully and peacefully.

Nameless: "Life here seems to be very leisurely. ”

Song Jiyun: "Although they don't seem rich, they are very happy. ”

Lin Yue'er: "Yes." ”

Momo: "Xiao Jiu, do you want to buy this?" Mo Mo picked up a braided dragonfly and put it in front of Xiao Jiu's eyes and said.

Xiao Jiu looked back at Lin Yue'er, Lin Yue'er smiled softly: "If you like it, let Momo buy you one." ”

Xiao Jiu happily: "Thank you, Sister Yue'er, thank you, Brother Momo!" ”

Mo Mo handed the dragonfly in his hand to Xiao Jiu, and took out his money bag: "Auntie, how much?" ”

When the aunt heard Mo Mo ask how much it was, she was inexplicably a little excited: "Money?!" ”

Mo Mo didn't know why: "Yes, we buy your dragonfly, of course we have to pay you." ”

Auntie: "It's rude, it's an old woman, I'm so excited, I haven't seen money for many years." ”

As soon as the aunt's words came out, several people looked at each other.

Song Jiyun: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The aunt tried to calm her excited mood, holding the copper coin given to her by Momo in her hand: "It's probably been five years since the money, we have been bartering here, and there is almost no contact with several other rich cities, but fortunately, we are surrounded by the sea on three sides, there is a steady stream of seafood to make a living, and make some gadgets, everyone barters for things, so that we can survive." ”

Song Jiyun: "I can't imagine that the city that should be doing well in the eyes of outsiders is like this." ”

Lin Yue'er: "I really didn't expect it. ”

Since entering the city, Red Feather has not said a word.

Song Jiyun: "Okay, let's go to stay first, it's going to be late, it's going to be dark." ”

A few people came to the inn where they stayed, Momo: "Little Er, we want a few rooms!" ”

Xiao Er: "Okay, guest officer, how many do you want?" ”

Mo Mo looked back at everyone, Lin Yue'er: "I'm in the same room with Sister Hongyu." ”

Song Jiyun: "Then I'll be in the same room with Xiao Jiu." ”

Xiao Jiu looked up at Song Jiyun, and Song Jiyun gently touched his head.

Nameless: "Then I'll want one." ”

Momo: "No, everyone lives in one room for two people, why do you want to live in one room by yourself?" ”

Nameless: "So you mean, you're going to live with me?" ”

Momo: "No, you are in one room with him, and I am in one room with Xiao Jiu." ”

Nameless: "You'll arrange it!" ”

Song Jiyun has never cared about these things outside of his body: "It's okay, you and Xiao Jiu are in the same room, and I am in the nameless room." ”

Momo: "Little second brother, come to three rooms!" As he spoke, he took out his money bag.

The little second brother said enthusiastically: "Okay, there are three longtail fish in total!" ”

Mo Mo paused: "What? ”

The little second brother thought that he hadn't heard what he said clearly, so he repeated it again: "Guest officer, we are the cheapest guest shop in the whole city, counting you three, it is already the cheapest!" ”

Momo interrupted him: "No, does it have to be fish?" ”

The little second brother didn't understand: "You, what do you mean by this?" ”

Song Jiyun: "Little second brother, we are from the outer city, we are new to your land, I don't know the rules of this place, now, it is getting dark, can you make it convenient, we will give you some more broken silver, you let us live in first?" ”

Little second brother: "It's not that I'm not accommodating, our rules here are like this, we won't deliberately embarrass you just because you are from other places, even if you give us a hundred and ten taels of silver, we can't spend it, it's useless, isn't it?" ”

Song Jiyun: "What you said makes sense, but we didn't think it through. ”

Little Second Brother: "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, I will call our boss over, you can discuss it with him, and maybe it will be more accommodating." ”

Song Jiyun: "Thank you! ”

The innkeeper was an old man with a round belly and a long beard on his face: "Are you going to stay in the hotel?" ”

Song Jiyun: "Yes, presumably the second brother has already explained our situation to you just now, see if you can be accommodating." ”

The innkeeper stroked his beard with one hand, looked at the young people in front of him, and put one hand behind his back: "Yes, yes." ”

Song Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, boss." ”

The innkeeper's words were not finished: "But. ”

Song Jiyun: "Boss, but it's okay to say!" ”

The innkeeper: "We don't collect money here, you also know, but there is no reason to let a few of you live in vain here, it's better to stay like this, you live here first, and tomorrow morning, you go out to sea with the fishermen here, and then pay it, it will be your room and board expenses, I don't know what a few people think?" ”

Song Jiyun thought for a moment: "Okay, just like the boss said." ”

The innkeeper: "Then let Xiao Er take a few people upstairs." ”

Little Second Brother: "A few of you, please come here!" ”

The innkeeper looked at the backs of several people thoughtfully.

Nameless: "It's surrounded by the sea on three sides, but will we be able to catch the fish they want tomorrow?" ”

Song Jiyun: "Just try it!" ”

Nameless: "That's all it can be." ”

Momo: "This side belongs to you, this side belongs to me, and you are not allowed to cross the line." ”

Xiao Jiu saw that most of the bed was divided by Momo to himself, and he could only sleep on this small point, which was really unfair.

Xiao Jiu: "I'll go find Brother Jiyun and let the nameless brother come and sleep with you." ”

The little nine people are small, and before they have taken a few steps, they have been held by Momo by the collar of their back coat.

Momo: "Hey, this is your mistake, the size of the territory, we can still discuss, why bother others?" Isn't it? ”

Xiao Jiu: "Hmph, you bully the small!" ”

Momo: "Shhh, you're not right, besides, you're already small, and it's just right to sleep in such a big place." ”

Xiao Jiu: "Huh." ”

Momo patted the place, "Come on, it's time for us to sleep." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at Momo's expression and couldn't help but shudder: "Hey, I'd better go find Sister Yue'er." ”

Mo Mo's hands were quick, and by the time Xiao Jiu reacted, the candlelight in the room had been extinguished, and he was already on the couch.

Before he could react, Momo had already covered him with a quilt: "Sleep, don't make trouble, good!" ”

Xiao Jiu was angry in his heart, he couldn't say it, so he obediently closed his eyes and went to sleep first.

Early in the morning, the chickens in the backyard of the inn began the busiest part of their day, chirping from the dawn of the day, until the stars faded and the red sun rose in the east, and they were silent one after another.

Song Jiyun: "I'll call Momo, you go downstairs and wait for us, I'll be there soon." ”

Nameless yawned, "Okay." ”

Song Jiyun knocked on Momo's door: "Momo, get up, we're going to sea, if it's too late, there will be no fisherman to take us." ”

Mo Mo struggled to open his eyes: "Got it! ”

Last night, Xiao Jiu'er wanted to relieve himself from Mo Mo's body, Mo Mo was tossed by him all night, and he didn't sleep well this night, at this time he looked at Xiao Jiu who was sleeping soundly next to him, and secretly wrote down this account in his heart.

The three of them followed the fisherman out to sea, the endless sea, supporting the fisherman's boat, the breeze was light, and the further to the center of the sea, the stronger the wind, and the more dizzy it felt.

Momo yawned, he didn't know if it was because he didn't sleep well or if he was a little seasick.

Nameless: "This water is surprisingly clear!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Yes." ”

Momo yawned again.

Nameless: "It's almost impossible to see the houses of the people." ”

Song Jiyun: "It seems that we have come a long way. ”

Momo yawned again.

Fisherman: "This is your first time at sea, right?" ”

Song Jiyun: "It's really the first time. ”

Fisherman: "Then you have to sit down, there will be a dangerous sea in a while!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Since you know the danger, why do you want to go there?" ”

Fisherman: "Because there are more seafood in the deep sea over there, and the species are more novel than here, we are not more here than other places, and the value of the fish here is judged by the rare species, so most of us fishermen risk all kinds of lives to go there." ”

Nameless: "That's true. ”

Momo yawned again.

Song Jiyun: "Why are you so tired? ”

Momo: "I'm fine. ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, since it's so dangerous, has anyone lost his life because of this?" ”

Fisherman: "Of course. ”

Nameless: "Then why, the fishermen still go to that place, aren't they afraid that they will never go back?" ”

Fisherman: "Of course I'm afraid, but it's not as good as starving to death in the whole family, gamble that if you go back alive, the seafood you catch alone will be enough for the family to eat for a year and a half." ”

Song Jiyun: "Therefore, everyone will still resolutely sail there." ”

Fisherman: "Yes." ”

Mo Mo finally spoke: "Then are we going to that place now?" ”

Fisherman: Exactly. ”

Momo: "Isn't that why we might not be able to go back?" ”

Fisherman: "You're right. ”

Momo: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Fisherman: "I thought the people who had brought you here would have told the three of you everything. ”

Momo: "That cunning old guy didn't say anything. ”

Song Jiyun: "If you come, you will be safe." ”

Momo: "Haven't we arrived yet, uncle, let's turn around and go back." ”

At that moment, the hull of the ship began to shake, and the fisherman shouted: "Hold on, everyone, and don't let go!" ”

It seems that they have entered or are about to enter the so-called dangerous sea at this time.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the hull to gradually return to a stable state.

Mo Mo is completely energetic at the moment, and the sleepiness just now is gone.

Nameless also breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you all right? ”

Song Jiyun was calm: "It's okay." ”

Fisherman: "Looks like a few of you are lucky!" ”

Momo: "Uncle, it's not a good time to joke at this time. ”

Fisherman: "Alright, here we can start casting our nets." ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, I'll help you." ”

In the inn, Red Feather: "Yue'er, I'll go on a trip and come back soon." ”

Lin Yue'er: "Okay, pay attention to safety." ”

Red Feather: "Well, I'll be back before dark." ”

After Red Feather left, only Lin Yue'er and Xiao Jiu were left in the inn.

Lin Yue'er: "Xiao Jiu, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

Xiao Jiu: "However, they haven't come back yet." ”

Lin Yue'er: "Just go out while they're not there, otherwise they will inevitably follow." ”

Xiao Jiu: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister." ”

Lin Yue'er touched Xiao Jiu's head: "Our Xiao Jiu is really good!" ”

In the innkeeper's room, Xiao Er served tea: "Boss, can they come back alive?" ”

The innkeeper thought for a while drinking tea: "I will come back alive, I will definitely come back alive." ”

Little two: "Uh......"

Innkeeper: "Alright, you go get busy." ”

Xiao Er: "Yes." ”

At sea, three people are helping the fisherman to collect the nets together.

Mo Mo couldn't control his expression while exerting his strength: "Ah! This net is so heavy! ”

Fisherman: "It seems that there must be a lot of seafood today. ”

Song Jiyun: "I hope so. ”

Nameless: "Don't spoil the fun." ”

Momo: "That's right. ”

Song Jiyun rarely saw that these two people were in agreement, so he didn't say anything more.

Mo Mo pulled the fishing net and said, "My strength is almost exhausted, I must eat a few more bowls of rice tonight, otherwise I will be sorry for my hard work this day." ”

Nameless: "Eh, hey, me too, hey, I must eat a few more bowls!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Okay! Be sure to eat a few more bowls tonight! ”

Going to sea today, not only to pay off the innkeeper's accommodation expenses, but more importantly, Song Jiyun wanted to figure out how difficult it would be to go to the other side through this sea, or whether they could pass from here smoothly, now it seems that everything is not so simple.

Momo: "Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a big sea crab!" ”

Nameless: "Oh my God! There is such a big longtail fish! Taoist priest, I really have a long insight today! ”

Song Jiyun: I have heard before that Haicheng is only a few hundred miles away from foreign countries, but there is a sea between them, but now I look at it, but this sea is inevitably a little too big, and you can't see the foreign city on the other side, so how can you accurately find the direction of the foreign country? It's hard to do.

Momo: "What do you want?" ”

Song Jiyun: "Oh, I think now we can pay for room and board." ”

Momo: "Of course, with these things, we are also rich businessmen!" ”

Nameless: "Tonight, I'm going to drink!" ”

Momo: "I'm going to drink it too!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Okay, tonight, let's not get drunk and don't go home!" ”

Momo: "Okay! ”

Nameless: "Accompany you to the end!" ”

Fisherman: "It's good to be young! ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, you can come tonight too, this time it is thanks to you who took us to the sea, we have so much harvest!" ”

Nameless: "Brother Ji Yun is right, uncle, come along!" ”

Fisherman: "I'm not going to go as a bad old man, and there are still some things at home that I can't leave." ”

Momo: "In this case, half of these seafood goods will be taken away by you, and the other half will be taken by us." ”

Fisherman: "How can this be!?" I didn't do anything, old man, it was all the three of you. ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, don't push it off, these are what you deserve, if you don't take it, we won't be happy in our hearts." ”

Momo: "Yes, besides, no one else wants to take us, you brought us here, you also risked your life to come, these are what you deserve, don't make it difficult for us anymore." ”

Fisherman: "Then, then I will accept the kindness of the young men, and if there is any need for my help from the old man, go to me, and I will anchor at the beach every morning." ”

Nameless: "Then thank you uncle!" ”

The fisherman smiled: "No thanks, no thanks." ”

Song Jiyun and Momo and Nameless followed the fisherman to sort the seafood and put it away.

Fisherman: "It's time for us to go back, are you ready?" ”

All three of them looked at each other affirmatively: "Ready!" ”

When I went back, there were more things on the ship, and the draft was deeper, so it was not easy to have accidents, and when I passed that dangerous limit, the hull of the ship did not shake as violently as when I first arrived.

The fisherman breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Well, we have passed the most dangerous place, and then as long as we go in that direction, all the way, we will reach the shore when it gets dark." ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, come and rest for a while." ”

Fisherman: "No, I'm going to take the helm, or we'll go in the wrong direction, and we won't know where we're going." ”

Song Jiyun stood up and walked to the old man's side, and the old man looked at him: "Why are you here?" ”

Song Jiyun: "Uncle, are you going to be old this year?" ”

The fisherman thought for a moment, "If you don't ask, I'll forget how old I am." ”

Song Jiyun smiled softly, it is the so-called affinity, no matter how old or young he is, how old he is, if he gets along with him for a long time, he will be infected, and his ability makes people feel that he is very down-to-earth.

Fisherman: "If I'm not mistaken, I'll be three out of seventy, old man!" ”

Momo and Nameless were both surprised, they didn't expect the old man to be so old.

Song Jiyun: "Uncle is so old, it seems that my master is much older than you." ”

Uncle: "Oh? Then your master must be a powerful character! ”

Song Jiyun: "Yes, he is very powerful!" ”

On the mountain, Yuan Zhihan, who had just finished drinking, sneezed: "Hello! Who dares to scold me behind my back? "Rub your nose.
