Chapter 5: Innocent Disaster
A deck floated in the vast ocean. As the waves rose and fell, the waves floated towards the distance, and huge waves came towards them. The deck swayed a few times, and the waves surged, and the deck was arched towards the sky by the sea.
The sea was exhausted and fell into the sea, but the deck was in trouble. He fell sideways and fell into the water in the sea, just facing a huge wave, which instantly swallowed the deck.
The rumbling sea water, the sea rolled and flowed into the distance, everything remained unchanged.
On a fishing boat, dozens of burly men stood on the side of the boat, opened the fishing net, threw it into the sea. After the fishing net fell silent, the men gathered together and started chatting with each other.
"Liuzi, don't be empty net again if you go down this net." The older old man stood on the deck, holding a dry tobacco pipe in his hand, smoking cigarettes, his eyebrows condensed into a ball, staring at the nervous man in front of him.
"I have no idea about this in my mind. Today is really weird. I went down three times in a row and didn't catch a fish." Liuzi became depressed. This was the first mistake in his fishing career. He even began to wonder if there was something wrong with that detail.
After thinking about it, he reasoned it back and forth, and he felt that everything was followed by the procedure, without any slightest moments. But why is this? Liuzi remembered that he only scratched his head and did not dare to look at his father.
"Dad, these six sons must have been too tangled with their new wife last night, and they just failed one after another today." A man lifted up his sleeves and joked at everyone, which caused everyone to laugh.
The old man paced, heard the man's teasing, coughed a few times, looked at Liuzi, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He knew what his daughter-in-law was, but when he saw Liuzi's appearance, he shook his head and turned to look at the sea.
"Brother Tiger, you bullied me again." Liuzi's cheeks were hot. When he spoke, he didn't dare to look at everyone, but his heart was rippling, thinking of his newlywed wife. Indeed, last night was too lingering and actually broke the rules. His new wife was the most beautiful woman in the Shili Water Town. She couldn't help but get too lingering in her newlyweds, and even forgot what my father told her. Now that she remembered her embarrassing appearance last night, she secretly regretted that she shouldn't let her daughter-in-law lie on it. He didn't dare to look at everyone, and prayed in her heart, "Mazu bless you, don't be empty if you go out to sea, otherwise you will go out to sea and return empty-handed and affect everyone's livelihood." She secretly swore in her heart that she would never be so unscrupulous before going to sea.
The red sun gradually fell to the sea, coating the sea water with a layer of fiery red, swaying and rippling, as if the longing that flowed into the heart was deeply imprinted in the bones.
The old man clicked a few times, reached out and knocked the ash from the cigarette pot into the sea, then put a pot on it, ignited it, and then started to suck it in the clouds and said to the big men, "It's almost time, you can close the net."
Liuzi trembled, staring at the sea, hesitated in his heart, and hesitated, "Bless this net, don't be empty." He pinched the net with anxiety and looked at the other big men.
"Liuzi, are you ready?"
Liuzi took a deep breath, calmed down, and nodded.
The tiger said to the rest of the people, "Brothers, cheer up. Are you going to go back empty-handed today? It's time to see this." He paused, coughed dryly, "Everyone listen to my command, come, one or two, close the net."
The big men worked hard at the same time, and the blue veins raised on their arms with vigorous force, and the strong muscles were shiny, as if the weight of this net was quite heavy.
"There is a door!" The tiger's eyes lit up and he stared at the sea.
Liu Zixin raised her throat and did not dare to breathe. She grabbed the net hard and pulled it upwards. The old man stopped and quickly put down the cigarette pole in his hand. The man also came up excitedly, "Hurry, pull it out of the water, this net is full." His joyful look was even more joyful than the first time he went to sea and returned.
When Liuzi saw his father's appearance, he hurriedly said to everyone, "Brothers, come, use force." He also spoke refreshed. The rest of the people were also very happy in their ears. After all, this was the only net in a day. If this net was as much as the old man said, then he could go home in advance.
Sure enough, when the net was exposed to the sea, everyone couldn't help but feel joy. The fish slowly appeared in front of everyone. The tiger said happily, "Wow, this fish is so big, you can buy a good price now."
"This is not a small weight, everyone is about to raise it. After a long time, the net can't hold on." The old man reminded everyone, and he quickly turned around and opened the fish cabin on the boat and joined in.
Everyone shouted the slogans and tried their best to hit the fish from the big net, but they didn't dare to stop and threw the net into the fish compartment. Everyone lay on the deck, looking at the almost overflowing fish compartment, showing a joyful look, and even forgot to wipe away the sweat stains on their foreheads.
"Okay, now we can go back." Liuzi was very happy. He deliberately shouted out loudly, and the depression of the whole day disappeared invisibly.
The old man glanced over Liuzi, shook his head, and thought to himself, "It's still too young." Fortunately, he is married, and I hope that the wife can really take over her son's character and inherit the family business as the village said. Today he was very satisfied. Although he took a breath a half day, he can finally relax now, so he said to everyone, "Rise up and go home."
The anchor is closed, and the fishing boat sails are filled with wind, like arrows leaving the strings, carrying a full harvest.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the fishing boat was about to dock as scheduled. On the bow of Liuzi Station, he saw an anxious figure on the shore. He was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to the shore and shouted, "Mei'er, Mei'er, I'm back."
The woman on the shore was covered in big red clothes, with black hair tied around her head, and her face was filled with youthful aura. Her melon-shaped face, white skin as fat, and her facial features were very beautiful.
Mei'er also saw Liuzi and happily reached out and shouted, "Brother Liuzi, Brother Liuzi..." The cheerful call made Liuzi's soul float up on the boat.
As soon as the boat landed, Liuzi quickly jumped off the side of the boat and flew towards Meier. The newlyweds had a strong relationship. The separation overnight seemed very long, and the whole body was full of longing.
Mei'er also came up to meet her, but just as she was approaching, Liuzi guessed the apricot kernel at her feet, lay on the ground, and landed in front of Mei'er's heels, as if crawling in front of Mei'er.
Suddenly, Mei'er was stunned and looked at the ground and looked up at her six sons.
The people on the roadside were wondering what had happened, and they whispered to each other. However, the people on the boat burst into laughter. The old man quickly glanced at his head, his face very ugly.
"Ye, Liuzi is OK. It's only two days after getting married, and he was treated with his wife." The tiger laughed and said loudly, "My sister, you are awesome, but you can't let Liuzi kneel down in front of so many people. This tutoring is too strict. It's okay for you and your wife to practice in the room. You must not do this next time."
"No, it's not like this..." Mei'er waved her hand and explained, but was suppressed by the laughter of everyone, and her beautiful cheeks suddenly turned red. She stomped her feet anxiously, hurriedly reached out to help Liuzi on the ground, and helped Liuzi slap the dust on her body.
Liuzi just smiled foolishly, which made her even more embarrassed, and quickly turned around and ran towards home. Liuzi looked at Mei'er's warmth and stared at Mei'er's figure in a daze.
"Stupid brat, why are you stupid? Come back and unload the goods quickly." The old man roared, and Liuzi felt that he had lost his composure. He quickly turned around and returned to the boat, twisted and didn't even dare to look at everyone.
The old man opened the fish compartment and greeted, "Hurry up, I'll go home to rest after selling it, aren't you tired?"
The tiger put away his smile, hurriedly walked up to the bow of the boat, and shouted below, "Open the market." His voice was loud and undulating, with a tail sound, and it was very long.
The fishmonger who was looking forward to it was already impatient, so he hurriedly crowded in and handed his own basket, saying, "Fifty kilograms, fifty kilograms..."
The lower part was very crowded and lively, and everyone was overjoyed. The old man cleared his voice and said, "Don't squeeze, line up, today the amount is enough, so everyone will definitely have a share."
The old man had a lot of prestige, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, but it convinced everyone. The fishmongers were busy lined up in a row. The old man winked at the tiger, and the tiger hurriedly reached out to take the frame handed over by the first person and sang, "Shopkeeper Li's fifty pounds."
Liuzi hurriedly took the basket and went to the fishing cabin with the others to fill the fish. In a moment, a basket was filled and the fishing boat was carried off.
The tiger shouted, "Shopkeeper Li, you have packed it up, a total of ten o'clock."
The shopkeeper Li stepped forward and looked at the fish in the basket and said happily, "Yeah, the goods are of good quality this time." He said happily and took out ten oceans, then greeted his brothers and carried the whole basket of fish away.
Then the crowd left one after another, and there were fewer people. The tiger lit the ocean in his hand, took out a piece from time to time, wiped it on the clothes twice, blew it, and listened to the sound of the roaring against his ears.
"Tiger, give me a hundred kilograms." A fat man greeted the tiger and handed over two baskets.
The tiger smiled and said, "Isn't this Chef Li? Don't worry, I'll keep it for you, it's the best." He handed the basket to Liuzi and chatted with Chef Li, but he was not sure about the fish being packed for a long time. He turned his head and shouted in the direction of the fish cabin, "What's wrong? Are you tired and don't want money anymore?"
No one answered, he muttered, "What are you doing?" He looked at him squintly and found that the old man was missing. He was suspicious and stood up and walked towards the fish cabin.
The fish cabin was almost bottom, but there was a person lying on it. No, it should be a corpse. The corpse was dressed in black and had long hair. The beard and hair under the jaw covered his face, and he could not see his original face at all.
The old man's face was gray, and the rest did not dare to breathe, staring at the corpse in the fish compartment. The people below shouted, "What's the matter? Hurry up, I'm still waiting to open the door."
The tiger trembled and said quickly, "What's going on?"
Liuzi's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know, we saw this corpse as we pretended."
The tiger frowned and thought, "Can it be salvaged from the sea?" His words reminded everyone, and he nodded and looked at Liuzi.
Liuzi secretly called bad luck and didn't know how to explain it. Instead, the old man said, "Tiger, go and stabilize those people first." The tiger nodded and ran out.
"Liuzi, you and I will carry the body into the cabin first. The rest of the people packed the fish and dealt with it as soon as possible, and then came back to discuss what to do." The old man looked around and reminded, "The matter today must not be leaked to avoid causing trouble."
Everyone nodded, and knew the importance of the matter in front of them. The old man inserted the cigarette pole back to his waist and said solemnly, "Everyone should take action."
Liuzi approached the corpse and bent down, but he was very scared. But everything in front of him was too strange, which made him almost want to escape.
"No prospect." The old man cursed gently, stepped forward and grabbed the corpse's hands, dragged it outside, and saw a bead on his neck, flashing dazzling light in the fish compartment, so that his eyes could not be opened.
The old man hurriedly leaned over and picked up the bead and looked at it. He felt that it was cold to get it, as if he was holding ice. He couldn't help but tremble and was delighted, "This is a good baby." He said that, he was about to pull it off, but was disrupted by the sound of anxious footsteps. He quickly reached out and stuffed the bead into the clothes of the corpse.
"Dad, hurry up, these people are crazy today. It's better to sell the fish as soon as possible and make a fuss." The tiger looked at the trembling Liuzi and comforted him, "What's there to be afraid of with a corpse?"
The old man said to the rest of the humans, "Put the fish."
The people were busy and processed all the fish in a moment, leaving only the old man and six sons behind.
The old man looked at Liuzi with anger. This was simply a disaster and secretly called bad luck. However, when facing his son, he was not beaten or scolded. He tossed and turned, and thought of the bead again, so he hurriedly reached out to grop the corpse.
"Dad, you..." Liuzi never knew that his father had such a hobby, but when faced with this corpse, he looked very ugly and he regained his father, and he didn't even dare to take a look.
The old man reached into the chest of the corpse, and suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, he jumped up and leaned against the fish bulkhead, his eyes stunned and stared at the corpse on the ground.
The rest of the people rushed over and looked at the old man and Liuzi. The tiger said with concern, "Dad, what happened?"
The old man gasped and pointed at the corpse on the ground, "He, he, alive."
"Ah..." Liuzi screamed in surprise and fell down behind him.
The rest of the people looked ugly and looked at the corpse in the cabin. The tiger walked towards the corpse step by step and thought to himself, "How can you live?"
The rest of the people and the old man did not dare to breathe. They stared at the tiger and approached the corpse, then bent down. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the chest of the corpse.
