Wu Laojiu is one of the oldest fishermen in Hongluo Bay.
Three generations of his ancestors have relied on fishing for a living, and he is very familiar with the sea conditions around Dengzhou.
In Wu Laojiu's view, Dahai is sometimes like a child who has not grown up.
When he gets angry, you have to go along with him and coax him, and you must not confront him.
When fishermen open the sea, they will hold sea festivals, just to make the sea go smoothly.
Only when the sea goes their way can they have a good harvest.
Wu Laojiu is forty years old and has a wife and three daughters.
Wu Laojiu has never had a son, which is a knot in his mind.
In his opinion, girls are no better than men after all, and they may not be able to do such hard work as going to sea.
But gradually, as his daughters grew up, his view changed.
The three daughters are very capable.
Not only can they help him repair fishing nets and sort fish and shrimps, they can even go fishing with him at sea.
Wu Laojiu was naturally very happy that his skills finally had an heir.
He also thought about it.
In the future, he would recruit one or two sons-in-law, and he would still be able to live his life without a son.
There are so many disaster victims who don’t have enough to eat these days.
It’s impossible to just give someone who stutters and ask him to do whatever he wants.
The son-in-law who comes to visit hums, it’s an advantage for him.
Wu Laojiu closed the net while humming.
According to his many years of fishing experience, there are a lot of fish and shrimps in this net.
After selling the fish and shrimp, I used half a horse to make some new clothes for my daughter and mother-in-law.
After all the nets were put away, Wu Laojiu was not disappointed.
The fishing nets are full of jumping sea fish, occasionally mixed with a few crabs.
Hehe, the youngest likes to eat this kind of black shell crab.
Wu Laojiu twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a row of yellow and black teeth.
After putting all the fish and shrimps into wooden barrels and feeding them with water, Wu Laojiu hurriedly turned around and returned.
It would take at least two hours to get to Hongluo Bay from here.
He had to go back before dark.
Looking at the sparkling sea, Wu Laojiu was in a good mood and hummed the tune of a fishing song again.
"One pull of gold, hey, two pulls of silver, hey, hey, three pulls of jewels, the sea is worthy of the fish people.
How can you be afraid of the wind when you punt, and don't worry about the sun when you bask in the sun.
If you want to touch the pearls and undersea diamonds, you have to fish for the big fish.
Raise the awning.”
This fishing chant was taught to him by his father, who was taught by his grandfather.
Generations of fishermen hum the same tune, hoist their sails, throw and reel in their nets, fish at sunrise and return at sunset, living their lives relying on the sea and eating from the sea.
Although it is dull, it is also happy.
Wu Laojiu is very contented.
Compared with the victims of the disaster in Henan, Shaanxi and other places, the life of the fishermen in Hongluo Bay is definitely considered happy.
It is said that the red land in Henan and Shaanxi is thousands of miles away, and no grain can be harvested.
The victims had nothing to eat and had to steal Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger.
It can be seen that although eating Guanyintu can satisfy hunger, it cannot be excreted.
Anyone who eats Guanyin soil will eventually die of abdominal distension.
If it were just natural disasters, there would be man-made disasters.
Officials, soldiers, and Tatars all circled Shaanxi and Henan.
Even if the people did not starve to death, they would be captured to fill the trenches.

Wu Laojiu heard that there were not even one out of ten people in Shaanxi and Henan.
Even Shandong suffered from military disasters.
During the Chongzhen period, the Tatars plundered the capital and were not satisfied, so they turned around and attacked Shandong.
Linqing is such a prosperous city with its back to the canal.
It was looted and slaughtered by the Tatars, and its vitality was severely damaged.
It has not fully recovered until now.
That is to say, Dengzhou, which is far inland, is rarely affected.
Except for Kong Youde's Dengzhou Rebellion, he never suffered any military disasters.
Even during the Dengzhou Rebellion, the people in the city suffered, but the fishermen in Hongluo Bay were not affected at all.
In this way, Hongluo Bay is really a blessed place left by our ancestors.
Time passed quickly, and Wu Laojiu's fishing boat sailed into the bay before he knew it.
But he felt something was wrong.
Black smoke rose above the entire fishing village, and he could smell a burning smell from a distance.
Wu Laojiu immediately became a little wary, lying very low and carefully observing the movements in the fishing village.
After a while, he discovered that several soldiers appeared on the dock and threw a headless body into the sea. hiss Wu Laojiu took a breath of cold air and wondered why there were so many soldiers in such a good place.
He was eager to find out, but he didn't dare to continue sailing, so he simply jumped into the sea.
All the fishermen in Hongluo Bay have excellent water skills, and Wu Laojiu is no exception.
He could even swim across this distance without taking a breath.
The water became turbid as he got closer to the dock.
Wu Laojiu tried his best to sink his body as low as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the soldiers on the dock.
After half a cup of tea, Wu Laojiu swam to the edge of the dock.
When he saw the soldiers walking away talking and laughing, he dared to surface.
The moment his head surfaced, Wu Laojiu gasped for air.
He had held in his breath for so long that he almost couldn't hold it in any longer.
Wu Laojiu moved forward with his hands on the board while adjusting his breathing.
He didn't dare to move too much, so he moved very slowly.
It took him two cups of tea to move the 200-step plank to the end.
At the end of the pallet, Wu Laojiu could see the scene in the fishing village more clearly.
I saw that the small fishing village was crowded with soldiers.
They rushed into the houses wantonly, dragged the women out, and raped them on the spot.
Wu Laojiu felt so angry that he wished he could jump ashore and fight these soldiers.
But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hurt these soldiers.
Rather than die in vain, it is better to find out who these people are and then make a fuss.
In the late Chongzhen Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Officers and soldiers were not like officers and soldiers, and bandits were not like bandits.
Even though these ruffians were wearing the Ming army's red and fat coats, they were not necessarily regular troops, they were probably some of the mountain king's miscellaneous troops who had been recruited to surrender.
The city closest to Hongluo Bay is Dengzhou City.
There is such a big commotion here, is it possible that Dengzhou City is not aware of it?
After thinking about it, Wu Laojiu still felt that he should go to Dengzhou Mansion to deliver a letter.
He alone was not enough to stop the evil deeds of these soldiers.
He had to rely on the power of the government.
Wu Laojiu wanted to make a bet.
He wanted to bet that the officers and soldiers in Dengzhou City were not the same group as these ruffians.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful of fire and candles.

In Qinghe Square in Dengzhou City, Zhao Hu, a government official, was patrolling the streets when he suddenly saw a light emerging from the distance.
Gradually he heard the sound of horse hooves.
A man came galloping on horseback holding a torch.
He couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
There is a curfew in Dengzhou City.
How dare someone race horses in the city in the middle of the night.
Zhao Hu just wanted to step forward and scold him, but when he saw clearly that the person was going to the Yamen, he immediately shrank back.
No wonder this man dared to ignore the curfew.
It turns out he has a government background.
He might be a relative of the great master.
It's better not to be blind at times like this
