Life at sea has never been a pleasant enjoyment. Since ancient times, fishermen have lived a life of half of their bodies drowned in the water. Maybe they lost their lives when they encounter an accident.
Even if you don’t encounter danger, it’s hard to make a living at sea. You often need to go out to the sea in the early morning and then return at night in the middle of the night.
In the evening, Ao Zhiyi came again and told Ao Muyang that he would leave at 2 a.m. and he would set off early.
This point is nothing to Ao Muyang. As a chef in Kyoto, he often got up at two or three o'clock to serve the fire and prepare breakfast for hotel customers.
But after returning home, he didn't want to suffer this, so he said to Ao Zhiyi: "It's too early. I can't get up. It's about five o'clock, and I'm willing to follow the boat when I go to sea at five o'clock."
Ao Zhiyi immediately shook his head: "At five o'clock? It's brighter! The old saying goes, birds get worms to eat when they get up early, so we go out to sea until five o'clock, can we eat a hot ball?"
Ao Muyang said slowly: "I went to sea these days, at noon or even in the afternoon. Whether I have any harvest has nothing to do with your time and time going to sea."
Ao Zhiyi could only compromise. He knew that Ao Muyang would gain something every time he went to sea and wanted to take him on the boat.
After a beautiful sleep, he got up at 4:30 in the morning to wash up and found that the general was staring at Yu Chizi and licking his mouth.
Seeing this, he hurried over and looked at it. He found that there seemed to be a few lobsters missing. He patted the general's head and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat the food inside, do you hear it? If you eat it again, you will beat you up!"
The general shook his tail and his face was innocent.
Bringing a fishing net and a fishing rod, he and the general boarded the fishing boat.
The Ao Zhiyi family owns the best fishing boat in the village. It is a long-time mechanical trawler with a very famous name and is called "Dragon Head".
The tonnage of this ship is 200 tons, which can enter deeper seas and get the best harvest in the village. Many people in the village hope to make some money with his ship.
His ability to sit firmly on the throne of the village chief has a lot to do with this ship.
Ao Muyang slowly got on the boat. Ao Qianqin, an uncle in the village, gave a thumbs up and said, "You are capable. It has been several years since my village chief's boat. It was the first time I slept until dawn before boarding the boat."
The rising sun has risen into the air, and the color has not yet turned golden, but is a gorgeous orange-red color. The same color light sprinkles on the ocean, the water is reflected in red, and the waves are rolling, like red silk rising and falling.
After hearing Ao Qianqi's words, Ao Muyang smiled and didn't answer. He pointed to the sea and said, "What a beautiful sea, what a beautiful morning."
The general pulled himself on the side of the ship and looked down, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue in the sea breeze, and the white hair on his head was blown and swung.
Ao Zhiyi leaned out of the cockpit and saw him carrying the dog and suddenly became anxious: "Why are you still bringing the dog? Damn, don't let it go into the water."
According to the customs of fishing houses, it is unlucky to see dogs, snakes or mice swimming by the sea and boat, wild ducks and wild birds flying by, which are unlucky.
Ao Muyang knew these customs, so he hugged the general and nodded in agreement. In this way, the number one will start to go out to sea.
The fishing boat was not far away. Ao Muyang heard someone shouting. When he looked back, he found that Ao Xiaoniu was shouting and chasing him. He kept chasing him to the dock, jumped off the dock and still swam and chased him.
Seeing this, he said to Ao Qianqi who was driving the ship: "Uncle Qianqi, turn around and see what's going on."
As the captain, Ao Zhiyi was dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing when you go back?"
Ao Muyang dragged the general and said, "Then I will jump down by myself."
Ao Zhiyi was counting on him to come and find the fishing catch. At this time, he was afraid of the mouse and had to say impatiently: "Okay, okay, go back and see what's going on."
The fishing boat started to circle around the sea, but did not turn around directly. It was not that the fishing boat was too big and it was difficult to turn around, but that the fishermen had customs. If they wanted to turn back in the morning, they could not turn around the bow immediately, and they had to turn around the road, which meant that "good people would not go back."
Ao Xiaoniu also knew this custom. When he saw the fishing boats start to row circles, he swam back to the pier.
After the fishing boat returned, Ao Muyang asked, "What's wrong?"
Ao Xiaoniu stuttered: "Uncle Yang, how do you raise shrimps in your pond? I just went to your house and locked the door, but I don't have a key. Also, be careful when you go to sea..."
The last words are the key point. Ao Muyang understood that because of his father's affairs, this child was a little afraid of going to sea.
He took the keys in the house with him. After all, there were some beautiful lobsters in the fish pond, so he had to be careful of someone jealous and stolen.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Maverick, uncle will definitely come back safely. Don't worry about those shrimps for now, go and have fun with friends."
Ao Xiaoniu nodded, then took out a Guanyin pendant from his pocket, which looked rough and was handed to him, and said, "Uncle Yang, this is the Bodhisattva my mother asked for me. If you wear it first, she will bless you."
Ao Muyang took it and put it on his neck. Ao Xiaoniu immediately grinned.
Ao Zhiyi was about to cry: "Parase, let's just send a message?"
He drove the boat angrily, and the fishing boat accelerated, getting farther and farther away.
Ao Muyang looked back and saw that Ao Xiaoniu had been standing on the dock.
The general followed and looked for a while, and soon his attention was attracted by the duck cage at the stern of the boat. He ran over and wagged his tail to look.
Ao Zhiyi was startled when he saw it and shouted: "Yangzi, please be careful of your dog. If it moves my duck, I will cook it and drink it!"
Ao Muyang whistled and called back the general. This time he didn't care about Ao Zhiyi's words because the ducks at the stern were indeed very important.
This is also a fisherman's custom. Fishermen believe that ducks have a tail and raise ducks is auspicious, and they can keep incense. Because the homophonic sound of "duck" is "press", they like to keep them on the stern to suppress the stern.
Ao Zhiyi's duck boat has been raised for a long time, and is all old ducks, which is equivalent to his mascot, the lucky charm. If he is really bitten to death by the general, he will definitely fight Ao Muyang forever.
When the fishing boat entered the sea, Ao Zhiyi gave the rudder to Ao Qianqi and said, "Yangzi, come and see where can we get the net? You must get a carp or black fish!"
Ao Muyang patted his forehead helplessly and said, "Village Chief, why are you so superstitious? Do you attach so much importance to customs?"
In the past, fishermen paid attention to the harvest of the first website. For example, when catching carp, they asked the carp to jump over the dragon gate. If they caught black fish, they thought that the black tide was behind.
The so-called "black tide" is a large group of fish. When a large number of fish gather together and appear under the water, the water surface looks black, the fish swims, and the black water surface surging. This is the black tide.
But at that time, there were many fish in the sea, and there would definitely be gains when going down the first network, so there were many things to pay attention to. Now, there may be no gains when going on several networks in a row. What's the point of paying attention to so much?
Ao Zhiyi said seriously: "How can this be said to be superstitious? Don't talk nonsense about Yangzai, go and work. It's absolutely right to listen to the ancestors. Your parents, cough, work..."
Ao Muyang didn't answer the conversation, so he asked for a kayak to put it down and wandered around on the oars.
Ao Zhiyi could not put hope on him alone, and he knew the reason that eggs could not be placed entirely in the same basket, so he drove the others on the boat into the sea to find the fish.
