Chapter 1: Nanami
The Endless Seven Seas has always been the most mysterious and dangerous place since ancient times, and there is no one.
Endless West Seaside, 17,000 kilometers high under the Yunshan Mountain, 800 miles from north to south, 700 miles from east to west, is Huangyu County.
Huangyu County is adjacent to the sea, and it is said that three hundred years ago, there were dragonfish from the sea to the sky, and after the baptism of thunder, it turned into Jiao.
Is there an arowana in yellow croaker county, Ye Qing doesn't know how much, but the shit-like little yellow croaker, that's really how much there is.
"One hundred and fifty pounds of small yellow croaker, seven hundred and fifty copper plates. ”
"Next. ”
"The small yellow croaker is three hundred and thirty catties, and it is worth one or two or six silver. ”
"Next. ”
Ye Qing, who had just turned sixteen this year, honestly ranked at the bottom of the list, and carefully kept a distance of three meters from the person in front.
The officers did not collect dead fish, and they were at the bottom of the list, and of course they had the most delays.
Therefore, when the scales are passed in the morning and evening in the past two days, Ye Qing's bucket will inevitably die a few catties of small yellow croaker.
But what's the solution?
The county ordered the braincase to convulsive, smashed a lot of money to buy small yellow croaker from the fishermen, and gave half a catty to every household in the county, which has been carried out on the fourth day.
At the beginning, this group of fishermen who were full of philistines did not embarrass Ye Qing.
But I don't know who recognized him as the son of the fisherman Ye Dashan, and the eyes of these fishermen who looked at Ye Qing were instantly full of hostility. Every time he didn't ask Ye Qing how early he came, someone drove him to the last position.
In fact, this can't all be blamed on these fishermen's small belly chicken intestines, his cheap Lao Zi Ye Dashan, before he was injured, he relied on the strength to smash the scalper with his fists, and I don't know how many peers he beat over because of the problem of seizing the fish market stalls.
These fishermen are so scared that they can't away from him.
Now Ye Dashan coughed from morning to night, so weak that he even struggled to serve the bowl. How could this group of bitter people who had been bullied by Ye Dashan for more than ten years give his son a good face?
I originally thought that I had crossed over, although I didn't enter the house of the emperor and general, but there was a cheap man who was invincible to the fishermen in the county, except for being bored, it was not bad, and there were fresh sea fish to eat all day long.
Who would have thought that six years ago, in order to earn more silver, Ye Dashan sent him to Liuyun Academy in Nanhua City to study. Had to venture into the deep sea in an attempt to catch big fish. As a result, the first net caught the ferocious sword shark, and during the fight, Ye Dashan was bitten through the lobe of his lungs by the sword shark.
A young and promising college student, who became a poor and frustrated by fishing, and had a sick ghost to take care of for no reason, Ye Qing was really aggrieved and wanted to cry.
"Next!"
"Next!"
............
The queue is dwindling little by little, and the time is passing little by little. The sky was still clear, but I didn't know how to gather a large number of dark clouds, and the air was dull and breathless.
Ye Qing stomped his feet urgently, the pressure in cloudy weather would decrease, and the fish in the bucket were seriously hypoxic. His dead ghost daddy Ye Dashan will also hold the ground as if he is in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and he has no breath.
It seems that after selling the fish, he has to go to the herb store to help him buy some medicinal herbs to moisten his lungs and relieve qi.
Suddenly!
A bolt of lightning pierced the heavens and the earth, and the huge sound of breaking the air was endless for a long time.
"Next!"
"Who, the boy who looks up at the sky, it's up to you. ”
"Damn it~" The leading officer grabbed a yellow croaker from the basket irritable and smashed it towards Ye Qing's chest: "If you want the master to get drenched in the rain, you can't come back, the master will trample your fish to death." ”
Ye Qing's answer was very simple, he put the bucket on his shoulder to the ground, and didn't look at the yellow croaker that was dying on the ground at all, and ran away.
"It's going to rain!" he thought to himself.
Rushing towards the outside of the city gate, passing by the [Guangyuan Hall] medicinal herb shop, Ye Qing only lasted for half a second, and then continued to run.
The county seat of Huanglong is six miles away from the sea and four miles away from the village where Ye Qing lives.
As soon as he left the city gate, a drop of water hit the tip of Ye Qing's nose, one, two, three......
The loose droplets soon gathered into a continuous rain, which became heavier and heavier, and it was quite overwhelming.
Ye Qing ran with all his might, regardless of the splashing mud and rain staining his body.
When he ran into the village and lived in a thatched hut, Ye Qing held on to the low earthen wall and gasped. He could clearly hear the violent coughing sound of his father Hayama in the thatched hut that was about to cough out his lungs.
Ye Qing raised his mud-covered right foot and kicked the door, and with the power of lightning, he almost didn't scare out Ye Dashan's bile that was paralyzed on the broken wooden board.
After a rapid cough, Ye Dashan, whose face was pale, said weakly: "Ahem~ Don't worry about my son, Lao Tzu will be for a while, ahem~ I can't die." ”
"It's all dying, and they're still pretending to be amorous. Ye Qing didn't look at him at all when he entered the door, but hurriedly took out a linen wrap from under a broken door board covered with hay, and carefully put it in his arms and put it away.
There was no extra furniture in the hut, and two broken door boards made of stone were covered with hay to make up sleepers. In the middle were two benches that were about to fall apart, and the nails were reluctant to be used, and they were only tied with ropes. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Ye Qing was in a hurry to go out after taking something, Ye Dashan, whose health was not as good as day by day, thought that Ye Qing was going to take money to help him buy medicinal materials, so he hurriedly struggled from the board.
The strong man who used to knock down the cow with three fists is now skinny to the bone, and his hair, which was originally black and shiny, should also become dull and gray due to long-term nutritional inconvenience^. After climbing for a long time, he didn't get up, Ye Dashan had to wave his hand in vain: "Ahem~ No, no, Lao Tzu is very good." ”
Ye Qing ignored him and plunged into the pouring rain outside.
Ye Qing didn't go to buy medicine, the medicinal herbs he just grabbed the day before yesterday had exhausted all the savings in his pocket, and the only copper plate in the morning was also used to pay the entrance fee to the city, and it was impossible to even buy steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.
He's going to do something big, something big that he's been planning for five years.
Five years ago, Ye Qing discovered a rather strange thing near Longtou Reef.
At that time, Ye Qing was eleven years old, and he could row a boat and cast a net, and catch some small fish and shrimp from a place not far from the sea to earn money to support his family.
At that time, he was a very young pole, because he did not know how to read the sky, he encountered a thunderstorm as soon as he went to sea for the first time. Fortunately, there was still no storm, or with his small body, another hundred would have been fed to the fish.
Coincidentally, when he rocked the boat to the bottom of Longtou Reef to hide from the rain that day, he heard a charming sound like a bamboo flute coming from the sea.
It is as if a girl is hiding at the bottom of the sea, playing refreshing music with a bamboo flute.
After that, Ye Qing left a message in his heart, and every few days, he had to go to the vicinity of Longtou Reef to see if there was a pleasant sound of bamboo flute.
It's a pity that I went there more than a dozen times in a row, but I didn't get anything.
The next year, the first thunderstorm of summer, the sea surface wind and waves were also not large, but except for Ye Qing, no fisherman dared to venture out to sea.
Ye Qing just wanted to verify that in the same thunderstorm weather as last year, would he hear the sound of the bamboo flute like heaven again.
God didn't disappoint him, the same weather, the same place.
The sound of the bamboo flute can be heard within 100 meters, and the soft sound of the flute seems to come from the sky, which makes people can't help but be intoxicated.
The third year, the fourth year, and now it is the fifth year, but every year in the early summer thunderstorm, Ye Qing will choose to go to sea when the wind and waves are small, and he can hear about it.
After several years of cumulative observation and questioning his father, Ye Qing finally figured out who was playing the bamboo flute.
赤金鮸 (pronounced miǎn): When he is young, he has a silver belly and a golden belly, and when he is an adult, his abdomen is covered with golden scales all over his body, and he feeds on snakes and shrimps, and he has infinite strength.
The red golden owl sings when it is in heat, and the louder the thunder, the more joyful it sings. It is estimated that he wants to drown out the thunder and prove his strength to the opposite sex.
Whoever catches a red gold cat, the one who carries the silver will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and the one who carries the red gold will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
This is the price set by the imperial court, if you catch an adult red gold duck and sell it to those wealthy businessmen or warriors, in exchange for two or three thousand gold, they will not blink an eye.
There are two reasons for the shocking price of the red golden fish, one is its fish skin, it is rumored that the adult red golden fish is covered in golden scales comparable to the thousand-year-old giant python scale armor, and ordinary swords will only pop out of the spark.
The other is its fish gelatin, Ye Qing often goes to [Guangyuantang] to grab medicine, and he is quite familiar with the shopkeeper.
I learned from him that fish gelatin has an amazing effect of replenishing qi and blood, and the effect is immediate. People who are seriously injured and dying can get better quickly by taking the fish gelatin of red golden catfish, so it is known as "it is difficult to buy golden glue for a thousand catties".
Qianjin: 1,000 taels of gold, if it is replaced with copper plates, it will be 10 million.
After five years of research, Ye Qing hit the idea of getting rich overnight.
Just catch the red golden catfish that regularly cruises on the Dragon Head Reef in rainy weather every year. His cheap Lao Tzu's lung injury can be nourished by eating fish gelatin. The scales are kept and sold, so why don't you become a high-class person from now on?
Of course: it's one thing to understand, it's another to catch.
The red golden owl is known for its infinite strength, and its scales and forks are difficult to hurt, even if you stack ten fishing nets, it can only break through it. If the fishermen want to catch this guy, they don't have the blessings they have cultivated in three or five lifetimes, so they don't even think about it.
After a lot of research and thinking, Ye Qing had to abandon the traditional fishing method and adopt an extremely risky plan.
