In the waters of Higashimatsu Province, there is a small island with a small area, which is famous for its abundance of red stones.

This stone is brightly colored and covered with red patterns, and it is very beautiful as if it were burning with a flame.

Locals call this stone Chiyan Stone.

The Red Flame Stone is just an ordinary stone, and there is nothing special about it except for its bright color.

However, it attracted a lot of foreign ships to come to the island to collect this kind of red flame stone.

According to the quarrying boatmen, the stone would be sent to the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries to decorate the courtyards.

The courtyard decorated with this stone has a very good effect and is favored by those dignitaries.

As a result, the fame of this stone is also growing.

Over time, people no longer remember the former name of the island.

I only know that there is a small island in the distant sea of Dongsong Country.

On this small island, a red red stone is abundant, and this small island is also known as the island of red flame stone.

Later, people called this small island Chiyan Island.

Dozens of families lived on Chiyan Island, and in the middle of the island, a row of houses was built.

In front of the house, there is a gravel path, which leads east to a small wharf.

As far as the eye can see, dozens of fishing boats are docked on the pier.

On the mast of the fishing boat, these seabirds are still there, and when people pass by, the seabirds flapp their wings and fly into the distance.

"Knock! knock!"

There were a few noises.

In search of prestige, on a fishing boat, someone is hitting the wooden cork on the mast with a hammer.

These fishermen on the island went out to sea in the moonlight before dawn, and when they returned from fishing, it was just dawn.

Most of the fish caught, in addition to their own consumption, were handed over to the fish dealers in exchange for some silver taels.

With the silver taels, you can go to the nearby town and buy some daily necessities.

Lin Shixian is a native fisherman on Chiyan Island.

It is said that his ancestor was born as an official eunuch, and because his ancestor offended his colleagues, he was removed from his official position.

In order to escape the persecution of the gangsters, he had to flee with his family.

In the end, he fled to this Chiyan Island, where he settled incognito, and lived a life of fishing.

Lin Shixian has passed the age of no doubt, and has three children at home, and the eldest son Lin Dong is 16 years old.

The child was born with a literary temperament, and knew some literary ink, and had already become an apprentice in the town's rice shop.

has an income of two taels of silver per month, which makes the people in the village very envious.

No, at the end of the year, someone had already proposed to Lin Shixian, wanting to marry his daughter to Lin Dong.

The second son's name is Lin Yang, and he is also fourteen years old this year.

This second baby has been active since he was a child, often playing on the beach, because he is soaked in the sea every day, his skin is dark, and he looks exceptionally strong.

Although this second baby looks a little dark, it is not ugly.

He is handsome and handsome, and he is the most attractive of these children in the fishing village.

Since he was eight years old, Lin Yang has been fishing with his father.

Now, it has been six years, and not only has he practiced well, but he is also an expert in fishing.

The third child is a girl, her name is Lin Hui, and she is also eight years old this year.

Although this girl was born in a fisherman's family, the child was born handsome, fair-skinned, naturally intelligent, and very lively and cute, and often helped her mother cook and weave at home.

Lin Hui is the eldest in the family, and the eldest brother is away all year round.

Only the second brother has time to accompany her.

So, Lin Hui often pestered the second brother and asked Lin Yang to pick up some beautiful stones for her to play with.

Lin Yang also loves this little sister very much.

As long as you have time, go to the beach and look for some beautiful colors, smooth and warm stones, and make your little sister happy.

Lin Shixian usually speaks little, and in addition to fishing every day, he teaches children some literature and ink in his spare time, and explains some principles of living in the world.

In addition to being happy, he also told some classic stories about the officialdom and shopping malls of Dongsong Kingdom.

Whenever his father told stories about the outside world, Lin Yang listened very carefully, and hoped that he could gain fame, become an official, and get ahead.

As for what to do?

He didn't think about it.

What I think about the most is that if I can become an official, I can eat a lot of delicious things.

It is possible to live in a bustling metropolis.

can make parents and older brothers not have to work so hard.

You can also buy a lot of beautiful stones and give them to your little sister.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang was very happy, and unconsciously, the snoring had already sounded, and the smile still stayed on Lin Yang's face.

Every afternoon, Lin Yang is free and often goes to the beach north of Chiyan Island with his friends to play.

Sometimes they wrestle, sometimes they chase each other, sometimes they swim together, and most of the time they are picking up firewood that has drifted from the sea.

Because, there is not much grass and trees on Chiyan Island, and these drifting firewood can be taken home to make a fire and cook.

........

"Erfat, there's a big piece of firewood floating in front, see who gets it first. ”

The big head shouted loudly as he pointed in one direction.

The second fat quickly swam towards the piece of firewood in the water.

At this time, there was a shout from the big head: "Erfat, hurry up, Erhezi has surpassed you again." ”

The big head shouted at the second fat while waving his hands and constantly gesturing.

Ersunzi is Lin Yang's nickname, and Ersunzi's water-based is the best among these friends.

It's okay, just compete with your friends at the beach to see who can pick up more firewood.

At this time, the big head shook his huge head, and said with some regret: "Let Erhezi snatch it again, Erhei, you are also swimming slowly, and there is another piece floating over there, hurry up, hurry up." ”

The big head was on the knee-high shallows, shouting loudly and tirelessly, and the voice was so loud that it could be heard from a long distance.

The big head's eyes are also very smart, and he can see firewood floating in the distance.

However, the water nature of the big head is the worst of these friends.

Therefore, he never dared to go too deep into the water.

The water was knee-high, and it was already the farthest distance from the shore.

Although Fujiko can pick up the most firewood every time.

However, in the end, he distributed the firewood to other friends.

As the sun set, several friends each carried a bundle of firewood on their backs and walked home with laughter and laughter.

The beach behind it is particularly beautiful in the sunset.

I saw that the sea surface was rippling with golden-red waves, like silk fluttering in the wind, rippling layer by layer.

The stones on the beach shimmer in the sunset.

It's like a beautiful picture.

On this day, the fishermen on Chiyan Island, as usual, rowed their boats with the moonlight on their heads, and began another day of fishing.

Lin Shixian took his son Lin Yang and followed dozens of fishing boats on the island to the deep sea.

Lin Yang was skillfully rowing the oars at the moment, and his father was sitting on the bow of the boat fiddling with the fishing nets, stopping his movements from time to time and looking up at the sky.

Tonight's moonlight is bright, the sky is full of stars, the sea is calm, and you can clearly hear the sound of "poof, poof" when the oars cut into the water.

Fishermen are happiest when there are no wind and waves, and often on such days, more fish can be caught.

If you are unfortunate enough to catch a storm, you may return empty-handed, with no harvest, and sometimes your fishing boat is in danger of being overturned by the wind and waves.

Two hours later, we arrived at the area where we were fishing.

Lin Shixian's fishing boat and other fishing boats scattered, each looking for a suitable place to cast their nets to catch fish.

Lin Shixian threw the fishing net in his hand into the air, and after the fishing net fell into the water, he pulled the net rope in his hand with Lin Yang.

As soon as the net comes to the surface, you can see fish wandering back and forth in the net.

There was a lot of splashing, and Lin Yang felt that the net rope in his hand was very heavy.

However, the heavier the net rope, the happier Lin Yang was in his heart, indicating that there were many fish in the net.

Sure enough, the first net caught more than a dozen big fish.

Lin Shixian picked up the fish in the net and threw them into the cabin, while sweeping his eyes to the sea, looking for the next place to cast the net, and his face also showed joy.

Once you've finished your nets, cast them into the sea again.

Just as the fishermen cast their nets to catch fish, a flash of lightning suddenly swept through the sky.

This was followed by a "boom" of thunder.

In the bright sky, suddenly the clouds were overcast, and the night sky seemed to crack open a gap, obscuring the stars in the sky.

The whole sea was pitch black.

At the same time, a strong wind blew on the sea.

The originally calm sea was rough in the blink of an eye, and the fishing boats shook violently in the wind and waves.

Lin Shixian didn't care about the fishing nets in the water, jumped into the cabin, snatched the oars in Lin Yang's hand, and maintained the balance of the boat.

After all, he is an old fisherman who has been at sea for many years, and he has encountered such big storms several times.

Each time, with his excellent boating skills, he successfully avoided the danger of capsizing many times.

Lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and a bolt of lightning lit up and illuminated the surroundings as if it were day.

Then it was pitch black again.

At this time, a wave several feet high rushed in, and the fishing boat that Lin Shixian hurriedly drove head-on to the big wave.

However, before the fishing boat could turn around, it was swept into the waves.

Lin Yang felt his body shake, and then he sank into the water.

He swam to the surface, his head out of the sea, struggling desperately in the water, and screaming loudly.

However, nothing could be heard except the sound of the storm, and the body rose and fell with the huge wind and waves.

At this time, a blue light flew in the sky, like a meteor, and the place where it fell happened to be where Lin Yang was.

Lin Yang looked up, and he also saw the blue light that smashed towards him, and he wanted to dodge.

However, the body simply can't dodge in the wind and waves.

The next moment, he saw himself hit by the blue light.

Then, as soon as he felt a pain in his head, Lin Yang lost consciousness. Went to consciousness.
