Chapter 1 Yangshou with one day left
Red Maple Island is the largest island in the blurred sea. Red maples are everywhere on the island. When it comes to late autumn, it is as bright as fire, as bright as the morning glow, and very gorgeous. In the northwest corner of Red Maple Island, a person turns around and walks towards the beach.
After a while, the carriage behind him also moved and drove in the opposite direction. A strange man's voice vaguely came from the wind: "Hehe, you will come and ask me."
Chen Feng laughed it off. He had a serious illness when he was a child. At that time, his grandparents were eager to cure his illness, and were deceived by a fellow villager who traveled to the countryside and had all their savings. Therefore, Chen Feng did not believe in such words as deciding the good and bad luck of people. If he had this ability, who would have come to a small fishing village to wander? He would have gone to the big city to tell fortunes long ago to exchange for wealth.
While walking, Chen Feng thought about the purpose of the weird guy saying this. Did that man know that his grandparents run a tavern and wanted to make some money? Chen Feng smiled and shook his head. Although the tavern was doing well, the profit was small, and it was only enough for a family of three to have enough food and clothing, and there was no money left. In order to make the elderly and weak grandparents eat better, he often needed to go out for fishing at noon. Even if he was really cheated, the man could not cheat anything.
Unable to figure it out, he simply put down his worries. When he came to the beach, he untied the boat and walked into the sea in the breeze. Facing the magnificent sea, his eyes were firm and cautious, and he was unambiguous in paddling and casting nets. Although he was not very experienced, he was also more skillful.
After scattering a few nets, Chen Feng was not lucky and had no gains. So he began to go deeper into the sea. Today's weather is very good, the wind is calm, and there is no danger. Moreover, his water quality is very good, and he is like walking on flat ground in the strong winds and waves. This is also the reason why his grandparents are relieved that he goes out to sea alone.
Since there are too many people fishing in the waters near the village from morning to night, it is difficult to get a harvest, so Chen Feng often grops around and looks for fish. Just yesterday, he found a reef more than ten miles away from Red Maple Island. There are many gaps in the reef, snails, clams, shrimps and crabs, and big fish often swim. Today he took a step to see his luck.
When we arrived at the deep sea, even if the wind was very small, the waves became bigger, and the boat was shaking left and right. There were reefs here, and sharks were everywhere, and it was difficult to sail. Only familiar old fishermen could handle it with ease. However, Chen Feng had been on the water for many years and had already learned all his skills in his grandfather's hands. In addition, the boat was more flexible, so he naturally would not care about these things, just be careful.
In less than half an hour, he arrived at the huge reef. The water here was very deep. Looking down, the sea water was a little dark. It was a very difficult job to cast a net in this deep water.
He cast two nets and was extremely lucky, and he actually caught two colorful Arhat catfish close to two feet long.
The colorful Arhat catfish is one of the rare precious fish species in the blurred sea. It is orange-yellow, with five-color tails, rich in spirituality, and delicious meat, so the supply is in short supply. Chen Feng's grandparents are reluctant to eat such fish, and they are often sold in taverns. Grandparents said that the extra copper money they earned needs to be saved for him to marry a wife. Every time he talks about this, Chen Feng's face will turn red. He feels very mysterious about the opposite sex, but he feels even more distressed and nostalgic for his grandparents.
The two colorful Arhat catfish in front of me, one is relatively slender and the other has a bulging belly. You can tell at a glance that it is a male and a female, and the female fish is about to produce seeds. The two fish are lying in the cabin, with their cheeks open and closed, and their beards and tails are shimmering with strange color, which is different from the colorful Arhat catfish that Chen Feng saw before.
