Majia Village is a very small fishing village, and the villagers have been fishing for a living for generations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When Lin Yan and the others came to Majia Village, it was getting late, and the fishermen came back from the sea one after another to start preparing dinner. The two found a slightly wealthy courtyard and knocked on the door. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and out of it came a burly, dark-skinned strong man. He looked Lin Yan and the others up and down and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Baili Xue stepped forward and replied, "I'm sorry, uncle, for bothering you." My brother and I do have something we want to discuss with you, I wonder if it's convenient? ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, I can't explain this matter in a sentence or two, can you let us go into the courtyard and talk in detail. Rest assured, my brother and sister are not bad people. ”

Dahan hesitated for a moment, looked at the two of them carefully again, and then let go of the courtyard door, "Come in and talk." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Uncle, what is your surname? Baili Xue and the others asked as they walked into the courtyard.

"My surname is Ma, my name is Ma Haitao, and I am the village chief of Majia Village." Dahan led the two to a stone table in the corner of the courtyard and motioned for them to sit down, "Sit down, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Uncle, I see that you have a lot of houses here, I wonder if you can rent one for my brother and sister to live in temporarily? We'll double the rent. ”

"Renting a house? Why did you come to such a remote place to rent a house? Aren't there many inns and vacant rooms in the seaside city? ”

"Uncle, we want to rent a house here mainly to learn the skills of sailing in the sea from you. My brother and I were going to go on a long voyage, but we didn't know how to sail a boat. That's why I want to come here and learn from you. Uncle, can you say yes? ”

"Want to go to sea? Learning to sail? Why don't you choose to go to sea on a cruise, isn't it very convenient? ”

"The place we went to this time was far away, and the cruise ship couldn't reach it."

"Oh, that's right. Can you tell me why you want to go to sea? Dahan didn't believe it very much, and continued to ask.

"Here's the thing, my sister was injured by a wicked man a few years ago and was in a coma in bed. After seeing the miracle doctor, he prescribed a prescription. But there is one medicine in the prescription that is difficult to find. We inquired in many ways to get information about this medicine, which is far away from the sea. It is said that there are still hundreds of miles beyond Monkey Island. That place. People are rare, and it is dangerous to get there, and most people are reluctant to go. We have looked for a boat rental company in Seaside City. But they only want to rent boats. And will not send people to steer the boat. As a last resort. We decided to sail there ourselves, which is why we came to your village to learn from you. ”

"That's the kind of thing. No wonder I want to learn how to sail. I've heard the elders say that it's really dangerous to go there, let alone farther than that. The charter company does not send people to drive the boat for the safety of the crew, you must understand. But I still have to advise you, and then see if you can find this medicinal herb from other places, the place you said, it's better not to go, it's too dangerous on the road. ”

"Thank you uncle for your concern. We also know that it is very dangerous, but we have been looking for this medicinal herb for more than four years, and now we finally have some clues, how can we be willing if we can't go there in person. Besides, my sister's injury can't be delayed. ”

"It's really not easy for you, you've been looking for more than four years. It seems that your feelings for your sister are really deep. Not bad, not bad. Well, I promise, you can stay with me. If you want to learn how to sail, you have to go to sea with me every day. Can you endure this suffering? ”

"It's okay, uncle, I can do it." Hearing Uncle Ma Haitao's promise, Lin Yan hurriedly expressed his position happily.

"It's good to have confidence, but it's another thing to be able to adapt when you go to sea. Young man, be prepared to endure hardships. You have just arrived in our village, and you haven't eaten dinner yet, so why don't you go to my place and eat some casually. In our land, it's hard to buy food outside. ”

"Thank you, uncle! If we go to eat, we won't let you not have enough to eat. If that's the case, forget it. We also brought dry food, boiled some water, and ate some dry food to deal with it. Lin Yan said.

"It's okay, it won't affect you. We rural people like to cook in a big pot, and we generally cook more. The rice is definitely enough, and the dishes are simpler, but it's better to eat than to eat dry food. You're welcome, come along, it's time to start the meal now. After saying that, he led the two to the kitchen.

Lin Yan and the others settled here temporarily and lived the life of fishermen. Lin Yan followed Ma Haitao out to sea early every morning to learn how to sail, and sometimes he would walk for a few days before coming back. After a long time, the fishermen developed a good impression of this simple young man, and he taught him more selflessly. Baili Xue is not idle at home, and learns the experience of going to sea and the precautions for going to sea from all the grandparents, aunts and aunts all day long, and prepares for going to sea as much as possible. Her well-behaved appearance was very popular with these fishermen, and she quickly blended in with them.

Time passed day by day in their methodical preparation, and a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Baili Xue went to the city and got in touch with Tian Bu Return, and informed the other party of the temporary place of residence. If there is anything new to discover, Tian Bugui can go there to find them. At the same time, I went to the charter company, screened out some qualified boats, and asked about the cost of chartering.

On the evening of this day, the fishing boats that went out to sea had not yet returned, and the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, looking at the sea from time to time, looking for the shadow of the fishing boats, and their faces showed a worried look. Baili Xue is also waiting patiently in it.

"Why didn't you come back so late today?" Some fisherwomen asked cautiously with the worry in their hearts.

"It's estimated that I'm going to sea far, so I'm going back a little late. Wait, I should be back soon. Others comforted, and at the same time comforted themselves.

Half an hour later, the shadow of a fishing boat loomed in the distance from the sea. Only then did everyone on the shore let out a long sigh, let go of their hanging hearts, and their expressions became joyful. "It's back, the fishing boat is back."

When the fishing boat finally reached the shore, the fishermen jumped from the boat in high spirits. They also congratulate each other from time to time. "It's been a great harvest. How many years have I not caught such a big fish. ”

"yes, I've never seen a fish this big since I was born." A young fisherman said excitedly, "It's really thanks to Brother Lin Yan this time, otherwise, not to mention fishing, it would be a question of whether we can come back alive." "When I said this, I still had some lingering feelings.

"Little San, what you said is so right! Go back and tell your Abba and Grandma, tonight at my house dinner, everyone must have a few drinks with Brother Lin. Did you hear that? Ma Haitao said loudly.

"Hear me, Brother Ma. Let's get the fish ashore first. Brother Ma. What to do with this big fish dragging in the water. We don't have the strength to drag it ashore. Why don't you just cut it up in the water and take it ashore? Ma Xiaosan asked.

Ma Haitao said with some embarrassment: "Little San, it's rare for us to catch such a big fish, it's a pity not to get it ashore and let the big guy see if it's a pity." It's not a big guy to work harder. Let's drag and see. ”

"No need. Brother Ma. I'll give it a try. Lin Yan came to the boat at this time and said when he heard Brother Ma's words.

"You're coming alone? Why don't you help out? ”

"I'll try it alone first, but if I can't do it, I'll ask you for help. Brother Ma. Bring the fish ashore first. ”

"Okay. Hurry up and unload the fish from the boat. Ma Haitao began to beckon everyone to carry today's harvest ashore.

Lin Yan came to the stern of the boat, untied the rope behind him, and pulled the rope and walked to the shore. At first, there was sea water to support, and Lin Yan pulled it effortlessly. When the big whale showed its shape, Lin Yan also felt its weight, the thick cable was stretched straight, and every step forward was deep in the sand. The fisherwomen waiting on the shore were stunned when they saw the whale pulled by Lin Yan, they had never seen such a big fish, how heavy it must be, three thousand catties, four thousand catties, they couldn't estimate it. Some fisherwomen said to Baili Xue: "Snow girl, I can't see it, your brother has such a small body and so much strength, what a strange person!" "What's more, they began to inquire if Lin Yan had a daughter-in-law, and the women began to gossip on the shore, laughing." You say, if a person like Brother Lin marries a daughter-in-law, can this daughter-in-law stand it? It's too much strength. "Can you use your strength on that, are you stupid?" Baili Xue's little face was red by what these women said, and she never recovered, and her heart was happy.

In the end, Lin Yan dragged the whale ashore alone. The fishermen on the boat were no longer surprised and went on with their lives. Ma Haitao came to the women at this time and shouted, "Everyone, don't gather here. Today, we all came to my house for dinner to celebrate this bumper harvest. Go back and prepare what you have to eat and drink, and bring them in a moment. The prestige of the village chief Ma Haitao was still good, and after all the women heard it, they went home one after another to get ready.

Baili Xue walked to Lin Yan's side, wiped the sweat from his forehead for him, and asked, "Brother Yan, why did you come back so late today?" ”

"It took a while to meet this big guy. Cher, this guy is really hard to deal with in the water, and I had to grind with it for nearly an hour with the short stick on the boat to kill it. Lin Yan said with emotion.

"The main thing is that the weapon is not easy to use, if you use the dragon stick, I believe that Brother Yan should be able to produce it soon." Baili Xue said confidently.

Lin Yan smiled, didn't answer, took Baili Xue's hand and walked home.

After cleaning up, the villagers began to gather one after another, and the courtyard of Ma Haitao's house became lively. Some fishermen are describing the experience of whaling, and the people who listen are also startled, looking at Lin Yan's eyes more and more adoring, some girls are still shy from time to time to throw flattering eyes at Lin Yan, looking at Baili Xue nervously, holding Lin Yan's hand, blocking in front of Lin Yan, like an old hen calling cubs.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and everyone fought with Lin Yan for the amount of wine, and the words of gratitude could not be expressed, so they could only express their gratitude by drinking. Lin Yan did not refuse everyone's kindness, those who came did not refuse, and fought one by one, he drank too much this night, did he sleep peacefully, and had a good dream. In the dream, he saw Baili Xue holding his sister's hand and walking towards him, and said affectionately: "Little brother, I'm fine, thank you for your hard work." Lin Yan had a satisfied smile on his face.

Lin Yan slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he was already on the rise. He quickly got up and walked out of the house and saw Baili Xue chatting with Ma Haitao's wife. "Xue'er, why didn't you wake me up in the morning, Uncle Ma, did they go to sea?"

"Nope. You all drank too much last night, and today none of you went to sea and slept at home. Baili Xue looked at Lin Yan playfully.

Lin Yan was a little embarrassed, quickly turned around and withdrew to the room, and said, "Then I'll wash up first." Cher, prepare me some porridge or porridge. Now I feel weird and uncomfortable. ”

"I know, Aunt Ma has been ready for a long time."

After washing, Lin Yan ate three bowls of porridge in a row, and then he felt more comfortable. He pulled Bailixue to the side and said, "Xue'er, I think we are almost ready now, is it time to go?" ”

"yes, I've been here for almost two months, and I should be able to leave. But I really like the life here, Brother Yan and so on in the future, let's live here for a while, okay? ”

"Okay, Uncle Ma, they are all simple people, and it is easy to be with them. I actually like this kind of life. Lin Yan agreed with Baili Xue's words, and also said what was in his heart.

"Then let's say goodbye to Uncle Ma tonight. Now let's take a trip to Seaside City and rent the boat first; and meet with Brother Tian and them again and bring the latest route map. ”

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them went to Seaside City to make the final preparations before leaving. The leased boats have been docked at the dockside, Arida has not returned to be guarded by people, the travel materials are also neatly placed, and the new route map is lying in the arms of Baili Xue. After finishing all this, the two returned to Majia Village. After returning, the two said goodbye to Ma Haitao. Ma Haitao knew what was going on with them, did not keep them, and wished them all the best. Tell them to stay here if possible when they come back and let them know that they are back safely. The two were very touched and promised to come to visit everyone when they came back safely. Lin Yan and the others stayed at Ma Haitao's house for the last night of their trip. Before dawn on the second day, the two quietly got up and left. didn't think about it, but when I walked to the entrance of the village, I found that many villagers stood at the head of the village for two people, this kind of scene made the emotional Baili Xue burst into tears and cried a lot. But after all, they still have to leave, and the two of them reluctantly left Majia Village in the care of the villagers. (To be continued.) )
