fisherwoman

"Haha! Miss Xiao is really eloquent!" Zhao Ziliang walked over with a sneer on his face, clapped his hands uncontrollably, and said, "Could it be that the rules of your Longtan Village are based on a woman's three-inch tongue Can it be violated?"

"That's right! Even if you talk about breaking the sky today, you can't break the rules of Longtan Village. Whoever breaks the rules will have to accept punishment, and there is no room for sophistry." Zhao Shun took the opportunity to say, and he pointed to the Dragon King Temple next to him, "Mistress Xiao , If you have anything to say, go and tell the Dragon Lord! Two days later, if you are all well, even if the Dragon Lord did not blame you, we will not pursue it anymore!"

"Lichang, does it mean that we have passed this level, and then we can pick these seaweeds casually?" Lin Xueman looked around at the crowd who came to watch. If the punishment for these two days can be exchanged for picking in a fair manner in the future Laver, worth it!

"Hmph! That's not what you said. Passing this test is the punishment you deserve, not the condition for you to pick hair from the sea in the future." Zhao Ziliang looked at her coldly, thinking of Xiao Chengyu, he couldn't help feeling angry, " Miss Xiao, this matter is not aimed at you alone, so don't confuse the public here."

"That's right, if you offend Lord Dragon, can you bear the burden of what happens at sea?" The man next to Zhao Ziliang also shouted, "This is what the yin and yang master of your village said. Could it be that his words are also false? "

"Exactly! Back then, Yin Yang Tong himself said it clearly and clearly, how could we not believe it?"

Everyone chattered incessantly.

Although they have been stealing food, they really put it on the bright side.Still a little guilty....

Not far away, behind a sandy ridge, there were traces of green smoke coming out. Ma Xingzhi poked his head out from behind, looked around for a while, shook his head with a smile, those delicious sea vegetables were from Lord Dragon s hair?How funny!

A pile of charcoal was burning in front of him, and two fish were skewered on a wooden stick in his hand, which was being grilled carefully.Exudes an attractive fragrance.

Immediately, he sighed again, put away the cooked fish and put them in a cloth bag. After all, it was because of him.If he hadn't entertained the old men of his age in the village on a whim, this wouldn't have happened, alas!

"It stands to reason that I'm not from your village, and I can't take care of so many things. But I'm in charge of the sea affairs here these days, and this matter should be a witness for you!" Zhao Ziliang looked around the crowd .Said solemnly.

"Chief, don't forget what you said. If we pass this test, you won't pursue this matter any more." Lin Xueman ignored Zhao Ziliang, just stared at Zhao Shun, then turned around and faced the other women. Go to the Dragon King Temple.

"Daughter-in-law, you can't go!" Yang Shi held her tightly.He looked at Zhao Shun again and begged. "Lieutenant, this will kill people."

"It's your own fault for killing people. It's better for the villagers here to go in and accept the punishment themselves. If it arouses public anger, it's not good, right?" Zhao Shun looked at the women in front of him coldly, feeling Think, who told you not to wink, and fell into Zhao Ziliang's hands!

"Mother, don't worry, we'll be fine." Lin Xueman knew that she couldn't escape this test today, she smiled at Yang Shi, and followed the other women into the temple.

Those people in front of him are so tough, how can I be their opponent, why not follow them into the temple first.

As soon as Lin Xueman and the other three women walked in, the temple door was immediately closed from the outside, and it was dark in front of them.

"Daughter-in-law." Yang's trembling shout and everyone's whispers were ruthlessly blocked from the door...

"Sister-in-law of the Xiao family, don't worry, let's go and beg Father Zhao!" Someone from the crowd immediately came out and stopped her.

"That's right! Let's go back and discuss it with the family first!" Xu Yougui's mother also persuaded her, and her daughter-in-law was also inside!

"Okay, okay, let's go! Go home and discuss it first." Yang didn't care about it anymore, and ran towards the house quickly.

"Absurd, how can you stay in the Dragon King Temple for two days? Even if you don't starve to death, you will freeze to death!" Xiao Jingzhi was furious when he heard this, "If someone dies, can Zhao Shun afford it? The whole Longtan Village, who dares to pat his chest and say that he has never eaten sea hair? I'm going to find Mr. Zhao."

"Father, I'll go too. The third brother is not here. We can't let the third sister-in-law suffer." Xiao Yun followed Xiao Jingzhi out of the house in a hurry, and the father and daughter hurried towards Zhao Shun's house.

Ma Xingzhi next door also came out, looked at the backs of Xiao's father and daughter in a hurry, pondered for a moment, and then walked forward. However, he did not go to Zhao Shun's house, but turned a corner and entered another alley , stopped at the door of a seemingly dilapidated house, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" An old woman came out in response.

"Is Brother Du at home?"

"At home." The woman opened the door and saw him, with a smile on her face, she immediately said enthusiastically, "Brother Ma, come in and sit down." Then, she shouted into the room, "Father, Brother Ma, come here." gone."

On the main table as soon as you enter the door, incense is curled up and smoke is lingering.

The room was dark, and two figures could be vaguely seen sitting on the kang.

"Old Ma, didn't you go fishing today? Why come to me when you have time?" Old Man Du saw him, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile. He was sitting on the Kang and feeding the people curled up in the bed.

"You're here." An old voice said in the bed, the wrinkles on the old man's face were crawling finely and densely on his face, like a pool of wrinkled water, the corners of his mouth moved, and the fine lines on his face seemed to be moving Light rippling, he doesn't speak, but there always seems to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hello, old man!" Ma Xingzhi stepped up to the kang generously and asked, seeing his grey-haired son feeding his older father, he was moved.

"Okay, I can eat a big bowl of rice." Old man Du replied with a smile, "My father's hands have been shaking recently, and it's inconvenient to eat. He needs someone to feed him, and everything else is fine."

"That's good." Ma Xingzhi smiled and said again. "After eating in a while, I will give him a few more presses, maybe he can eat by himself."

"Oh, that's really troublesome. We admire the craftsmanship of big brother!" Old Man Du said happily.

"Then I'll trouble you!" Mr. Du also looked at this stranger with a smile on his face. This man got along with the old people in the village as soon as he came.That is to press the sickness of people, it is not comfortable there, as long as he presses it a few times, the pain can be relieved immediately, and it is impossible to accept it.

In Longtan Village, this person is very popular!

"Old man. When did you hear the rumor about the hair here? Is it really so mysterious?" Ma Xingzhi skillfully helped Mr. Du loosen his muscles, and asked seemingly casually.

He knew that the sick looking old man Du in front of him was a well-known yin and yang master in a radius of ten miles. It was rumored that he could move yang during the day and yin at night.In the past, there was an endless stream of people who came to pray for God and ask questions.It's just that in the past few years, when I got older and passed the [-]th barrier, I closed the door to thank guests, and ignored the world affairs, and gradually withdrew from people's vision.

"Why do you think of asking this?" Old Man Du frowned and asked.

"It's like this. I learned a seaweed egg drop soup a few days ago. And I like it very much. I just wanted to drink it on a whim. I also invited my brothers to get together at home and made this soup for everyone. Who knew, but gave it to me. My neighbor Mrs. Xiao got into trouble, and right now, she is being punished in the Dragon King Temple. This happened because of me, but I didn't know that this seaweed was the sea hair here, and I didn't know that there was a rumor in the village that you can't pick the sea casually Hair, so come here and ask." Ma Xingzhi looked at the father and son in front of him calmly, feeling that the expressions on their faces were a little unnatural, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Oh!" Old Master Du sighed and fell silent.

Is this rumor related to them?

"If the old man has something difficult to say, just pretend that I didn't ask." Ma Xingzhi smiled, and the cloud in his heart was even heavier!

There was silence in the room!

"At my age, I have nothing to hide." Mr. Du seemed to have pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said, "50 years ago, I was still young, and I was also fishing at sea. I was a true fisherman. My wife is always waiting for me on the beach."

When he said this, tears flowed from his cloudy and dull eyes, and he choked up and said: "Until one day, I came back a little late, and she was a little anxious to wait, so she ran to the reef to pick those sea vegetables, and accidentally fell into the sea. I never came up again. At night, I had a dream, saying that those long seaweeds were the hairs of the sea. My daughter-in-law accidentally violated the hair of the gods and lost her life. Since then, no one dared to pick those seaweed."

It turned out that those rumors were only because of a dream of Mr. Du...

"From then on, I dare not go fishing at sea. Every time I go to the sea, I always think of my wife and the deep love between my husband and wife. If I didn't have a son, I'm afraid I would have followed her long ago." Weeping uncontrollably, "Later, I followed a wandering monk to learn the art of yin and yang, with only one purpose, that is, longing to see my daughter-in-law again, but unfortunately, I have not seen her once in 50 years.... "

"Father..." The old man Du beside him couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I didn't expect the old man to be such a loving person, and I would be glad to know that my aunt came to the spring. It's just that people can't come back to life after death, and it's been many years, so please express my condolences to the old man." Ma Xingzhi persuaded with a trembling heart.

"I also know that people in the village are still picking hair from the sea in the past few years. It's just because of this rumor that they don't dare to show their courage. I have always blamed myself for this matter, and I once wanted to talk to the head of the village. This happened, but I still don't know what to say..." Mr. Du wiped away his tears, and said, "Eat sea by the sea, those sea vegetables should be delicious on the dinner table, because of a dream I had 50 years ago, I am ashamed to have done something like this!"

"Father, you don't have to blame yourself. This incident just happens to be an opportunity. Let's take advantage of this incident to talk to the village chief and explain it. Isn't it over?" Old Man Du advised from the side.

"Yeah, I know, let's go to the village chief and clarify." Old Man Du nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, as if he breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
