Chapter 18 Small Fishing Village
When the sun sets, I see that the fiery red sun is wrapped in a layer of golden yellow, dyed red with white clouds, and the clouds seem to have become fiery clouds, ever-changing and mysterious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A peaceful fishing village, backed by the lonely mountain of Dongling, adjacent to a vast ocean in the west, the terrain is flat and fertile, because it is close to the sea, so the residents here mostly make a living from fishing.
The folk customs are simple, treat people and receive guests, very warm, and all of them are water-based, they have been in contact with the river since childhood, like fish, and they are smoother than land in the water.
The sturdy men of the village usually sail out to sea in the morning and return in the evening, shouldering the needs of the whole family. At this time, the children also waited with the elderly on the beach, waiting for their harvest to return, waiting for them to return safely.
The sea, sometimes calm, sometimes violent, when it is furious, is merciless, and the people who go out to sea are very reluctant to see its fury.
Look! they're back!
In the middle of the sea, a large wooden boat slowly sailed towards the beach, and the sturdy men on board waved their hands to the old people and children who greeted them on the beach.
"Hehe, look at the side of the ship, they are back with a full load!" said a white-bearded old man happily.
"Grandpa the village chief, tomorrow we can sell a lot of money again, we can buy a lot of things in the market and come back!" a child jumped for joy.
The big boat rushed to the beach on the waves, and a big man jumped out of the boat first, and he didn't care about the call of his own children, so he ran and rushed to the village chief: "Village chief, we have caught a big living man in the sea! But we don't know what to do with him!"
"Well, how can there be a big living person in the sea?" the village chief frowned, people should be drowned in the sea.
"It's true, the person still has a heartbeat and breathing, but he is in a coma. The big man hurriedly replied, gesturing with his hands as he spoke.
"Then carry him to my house quickly, and the rest of the people will collect all the fish." The village chief of Baishu waved to a boy beside him again, and ordered loudly: "Little ghost, go to the old man's house, and let the old man go to my house to save people." ”
The old man in the mouth of the village chief is Langzhong in their village, who has practiced medicine in the village for most of his life.
The fishing village at sunset was originally quiet, but it became lively with the people returning from fishing, and the women and children were smiling with satisfaction on the faces of the women and children as they moved from the boats into the fish store.
The village chief's family was talking in the courtyard, no matter what the village chief said, it had existed for hundreds of years, and it was the first time that a big living person had been caught in this fishing.
A young man in the inner room was lying on the bed, his skin was white and tender, like a newborn, and the muscle lines on his body were perfect and there was no flaw in it, only to see him with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, as if he was asleep.
"Old man, how is he? dead or alive?" the village chief touched the old man sitting on the edge of the bed with his hand.
"It's strange, its body is obviously good, why can't it wake up?" said the old man with a long beard and puzzled.
"You said it but I also wondered why he hadn't drowned?" the village chief couldn't figure it out, it was beyond their knowledge.
"Unless......" The old man seemed to think of something, and suddenly a spirit suddenly hit his whole body.
"Unless what?" the village chief was also taken aback by the old man's reaction, and hurriedly asked.
"He can't be a cultivator, right?" the old man looked at the nervous village chief, if it was true, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event for their fishing village.
"What? Don't talk nonsense! None of the cultivators have the ability to turn over rivers and seas, how could they fall into the sea and not know whether they are alive or dead!" The village chief couldn't believe it, they fished out a cultivator immortal from the sea.
"Yes, how could a cultivator come to this poor country of ours, if not, then let him sleep enough, and when he wakes up, ask him and you'll know what's going on." The old man didn't notice any injuries in the body of the young man he had retrieved, and could only judge that he was asleep.
"That's all there is to it, then I'll send you. The village chief said and led the old man out of the inner room, but the young man on the bed still did not respond.
Time passed, a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the life of the fishing village was not disturbed much by the young man who fished out, because he had been in a deep sleep, as if he would never wake up.
Although they are just fishermen, they are very kind in their hearts, and they did not abandon him because the young man couldn't wake up, but always took care of his body, and the village chief also specially assigned his grandson Xiaoyutou to take care of it, so that the village chief could be notified at any time if there was a situation.
On this day, the people of the village waited on the seashore for the return of the fishing boats, as if it were all their sustenance.
Just as the people were staring intently into the depths of the sea, the voice of a child in amazement was heard.
"Grandpa, wake up, grandpa, wake up!"
Everyone looked for the sound, and it turned out to be a small fish head, although it was only nine years old, but the speed of the flight was not slower than that of adults.
Xiao Yutou came to the village chief while running and screaming, panting heavily, pointing in the direction of the village and saying, "Grandpa, the uncle who fished out is awake!"
"Hmm, take me there. The village hurriedly ran towards the village with the head of the little fish, and a few children on the beach also ran over.
The rest of the people also showed expressions of surprise, not only did a person not drown in the sea, but also slept for more than a month, and he did not die, and woke up, if this happened in their village, it was really unbelievable.
In the inner room of the village chief's house, the young man sat woodenly, his purple eyes were particularly eye-catching, but the eyes were hollow, looking at an old man and a few children in the house, as if thinking about something.
"It's great that you're finally awake!" The village chief was also indescribably curious when he saw those purple eyes, but now was not the time for curiosity, so he immediately ordered Xiao Yutou: "Yutou, go and get some of our dried sweetfish, he should be hungry." ”
A person who hasn't eaten for a month, and he knows how hungry he must be when he thinks about it, so the little fish head answered and ran out very quickly. After a while, he came to the bed with a bunch of dried sweetfish, and handed it to the young man with both hands: "Uncle, give it to you, my mother made it, it's delicious." ”
The young man looked at the innocent smile of the little fish head, gently took the dried sweetfish, put it on his nose and sniffed it gently, and then ate it slowly, and the food was beyond everyone's expectations, and he did not gobble it up.
"Is it delicious, uncle?" Xiao Yutou didn't understand why this fished out uncle had been hungry for so many days, why did he eat so slowly, isn't the dried sweetfish delicious?
"It's delicious, thank you!" the young man replied softly as he looked at the fishhead's expectant eyes.
Seeing this, the village chief saw that the young man had stabilized, so he asked, "Young man, what is your name?"
"Cold wind!" the young man spat out only two words, and continued to eat the dried sweetfish in his hand. (To be continued.) )
