"Study hard and watch well. This is a sentence that Uncle Meng said to him when Meng Li went out fishing for the first time two years ago, and since then, he has remembered this sentence.

In the middle of the night, Meng Li, who was tossing and turning on his wooden bed, thinking about what to do in the future, couldn't help but think of this six-character mantra that was destined to affect his life.

"Could it be that I can really only be a fisherman in my life?" Meng Li, who had asked himself many times in his heart, suddenly sat up from the bed, his heart full of unwillingness.

There's nothing wrong with being a fisherman.

Living in a village where fishing makes a living and being the greatest catcher is the proudest thing to do.

Meng Li has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he once thought that being able to go out of the water with the boat was the most amazing thing. It's just that all this changes with what is happening today.

If he hadn't made a two-year contract out of anger, why would he be a fisherman? But it would have been impossible for him to bow his head like this, and treat today's events as if they hadn't happened. Although he Meng Li is still young, his bones are not soft, and he must not regard such an insult as nothing.

He wanted to be a martial artist, to become a powerful first-class martial artist. Not only to repay today's humiliation, but also to stop being bullied in the future, through everything that happened today, Meng Li saw a truth clearly, only if he is strong, can he live without worries in this world.

Besides, if he doesn't have enough strength, how can his bloodline be solved?

"Alas, I can only take one step at a time. ”

After thinking about it all night, he didn't know what to do for Meng Li, so he decided to put this question on the back of his mind first, after all, he didn't even have a way to learn martial arts now, even if he wanted to become a martial artist again, there was no way.

"Forget it, let's fish with Uncle Meng first, and then find an opportunity to see if there is any possibility of becoming a martial artist. ”

When he went out early in the morning, Meng Jiangxi was already waiting outside the door, and seeing that the other party was so attentive, Meng Li's expression suddenly became serious.

"Started so early, isn't it coming out of the water tomorrow?"

Meng Jiangxi sighed with emotion: "It is precisely because of the water coming out tomorrow that we have to prepare early today." Fishing out of the water seems to be just a day's hard work, but there are many unknown doorways hidden in it. ”

"That's right. Meng Li nodded secretly, feeling empathy in his heart.

Mengjia Village out of the water fishing, there are big fishing and small fishing, nine days of a big catch, three days of a small fish, most of the perennial fishing people, often as soon as they return to the shore to begin to prepare for the next boat, time is tight and want to sleep on the boat every day.

Meng Jiangxi is a master of fishing, operating this road for nearly 20 years, and experiencing many storms, he has long kept the process in mind, so he can only prepare one day in advance and be foolproof.

Meng Jiangxi took Meng Li to the shore, and said as he walked: "Fishing is a thing that seems to me to be the same as learning martial arts, easy to get started, but it is extremely difficult to be proficient, relying on a long period of accumulation, and the rest is okay to say, with me to teach you by hand, you will soon be able to figure out the doorway." Only the control of the wind and waves on the water needs to rely on your own heart. But you don't have to be in a hurry, this kind of thing that relies on experience, it is difficult to practice a keen sense of smell in ten or eight years. One error in judgment is in danger of dying at the bottom of the river. You must know that the water of our Huaichuan River is very fatal. ”

The Huaichuan River is open and long, it is the largest river in the Southern Tang Dynasty, because of its special location, the wind and waves are strong, so that the fishermen who rely on the water here have suffered enough.

Every year, fishermen in Mengjia Village are buried at the bottom of the river due to the wind and waves of Huaichuan, and this is also the most helpless thing for Mengjia villagers. Meng Li had also been out of the water before, knowing the danger of the Huaichuan River, if he wanted to eat this bowl of rice, the wind and waves were a hurdle that he had to go through, as Meng Jiangxi said before, if he was not careful, he would lose his life.

"Old Uncle Meng, don't worry, I will definitely learn by heart, and I will live up to your expectations. ”

Meng Jiangxi was pleased: "I'm relieved to have your words, but you don't have to be nervous, fishing is more about practice makes perfect, I still say that, learn more and watch more, your father is so smart, you are his son, even if it is only one-tenth of him, you can understand it." ”

What Meng Jiangxi admires most in his life is Meng Li's father, Meng Nangui.

Meng Nangui is the name that Meng's father changed when he came to Mengjia Village, and his previous name has never been mentioned.

Meng Nangui first arrived in Mengjia Village and Meng Jiangxi got acquainted, at that time Meng Jiangxi was not the king of fish in the Huaichuan River Basin, and he did not have such a clear understanding of the job of fishing in the water as he is now.

According to Meng Jiangxi's words, Meng Li's father is a person with a university education, and no matter what kind of difficult things are, they can be made simple in his hands. Meng Jiangxi once lamented the benefits of reading more than once, and even called this ability to turn decay into magic, which made the two families cry and laugh.

The two walked all the way, chatted all the way, and after walking for a long time, they came to the bank of the Huaichuan River in Mengjia Village.

The Huaichuan River is 100 miles long, and the section closest to Mengjia Village is a natural wharf, and then after the construction of Mengjia Village, it is more and more perfect, and more than ten fishing boats can be docked at the same time, which is also the foundation for the development of Mengjia Village.

There are more than a dozen small fishing boats docked on the wharf on the riverbank, and under the sunlight, the water vapor on the deck evaporates, refracting the light into colorful shadows, and a faint fishy smell spreads from there.

Meng Li smelled this familiar breath, and then saw the busy figures of the fishermen on the wharf, and his heart couldn't help but gush with excitement, being in a fishing village, once upon a time, he had dreamed of such a scene more than once, and now it has finally come true.

On the shore, the boats in the west of Mengjiang are also among them, the third from left to right, which is the relatively "thin" one among the many fishing boats.

Don't look at his small boats, but the number of fishing, but the largest number of fishing boats, every time out of the water can return with a full load, as for other fishermen, after a day's work, at most can only catch half a warehouse of fresh fish, even if the fishing boat is larger, it can't be compared.

The king of fish is a kind of glory, the Huaichuan River Basin, especially in the area of the water town, there are only three fish shore wharves, the fishermen here for the convenience of the name, they call it the fishing ground, compared to their own back garden, and in each fishing ground, there is only one king fish title.

Meng Jiangxi bears the title of the king of fish, and is highly respected in the fishing grounds near Mengjia Village, but there are many troubles caused by this.

The arrival of Meng Jiangxi soon attracted people's attention, and no one dared to despise this Meng Yu King, who had superb fishing skills and even won the first place in the three fishing grounds. Many newcomers with fishing experience who are still immature can't help but ask questions about some common thorny problems, and he responds to them one by one, and does not cherish himself.

On the shore dock, on one of the largest fishing boats, a father and son were washing the fish barn, hearing the cheers of the crowd on the shore, the middle-aged fisherman who had become a father in his thirties snorted coldly, dropped the bamboo brush in his hand, and walked off the boat with a gloomy face. The son, who was only eleven years old and had a somewhat fat body, hurriedly followed behind, also with a gloomy face, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

The middle-aged fisherman came to the shore and saw Meng Jiangxi, who was surrounded by the crowd, as if he had seen a lifelong rival, his face was even more gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Who am I, it turns out that you are a grandiose guy, since you have come to the fishing ground, you don't want to clean up your fishing boat, but rely on the shore to earn these love debts, are you afraid that no one will know that your name as the king of Meng Yu?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and a young fisherman, who had been humbly asking questions, heard this piercing ridicule, and immediately showed an angry expression, and turned his head to scold. It's just that when he turned his head and saw the fierce face of the owner of the voice, the anger in his stomach immediately disappeared, and he didn't dare to attack with two more dares.

"How...... How is this evil star?" the young fisherman shrank his neck, no longer caring about the doubts in his heart, and ran to his fishing boat.

There are two fishing masters in the fishing ground of Mengjia Village, one of which is the fish king Meng Jiangxi, and the other is the fierce man Meng Huaiyang in front of him.

Meng Huaiyang came out of a fishing family, when her mother was pregnant in October, she went out of the boat with his father, accidentally moved the fetal gas, and gave birth to him on the Huaichuan River, because the sun was shining at that time, so he was named Meng Huaiyang.

Meng Huaiyang is good at water, and his underwater kung fu is very good, plus he has been out of the water to fish since he was a child, and his fishing skills are almost comparable to Meng Jiangxi.

Meng Huaiyang has a rough personality and is very utilitarian, because of the title of King of Fish, he has secretly competed with Meng Jiangxi, and it is only because Meng Jiangxi is quite popular that he can always keep the title of King of Fish.

The surrounding crowd also dispersed, and in an instant, only Meng Jiangxi and the other party were left on the empty riverbank.

"Meng Huaiyang, you really like to worry about my business. Meng Jiangxi looked at the middle-aged fisherman with a gloomy face on the opposite side, and a sneer appeared on his face. This Meng Huaiyang, although he has some ability, is not good, not only in the fishing grounds, but also in Mengjia Village, and is one of the most disgusted people in Meng Jiangxi.

Meng Huaiyang has his own skills, his eyes are above the top, and he has always regarded Meng Jiangxi's kind actions as opportunistic on the road to fame and fortune, and he has to sneer and sneer every time he sees it, and take advantage of his mouth.

"I'll like to take care of your?" Meng Huaiyang said disdainfully: "I, Meng Huaiyang, just can't get used to the arrogant appearance of some people." ”

Hearing this, Meng Jiangxi seemed to hear a joke, and laughed and said: "Meng Huaiyang, don't think that I don't know what you think in your heart, it's nothing more than greedy for the title of King of Fish, and I'm not convinced." ”

The idea of striving for fame and fortune was pierced in front of him, Meng Huaiyang suddenly became angry, and took off his shirt, revealing a strong muscle.

"What if I'm not convinced? If you have the courage, let's compare the kung fu in this water to see who is worthy of the title of king of fish. ”
