Father Sang nodded and said: "It is indeed not easy to understand the meaning of the sword and become a leader in the sword world." He reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "But you don't need to be discouraged, practice hard!"
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of herbal tea, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the beach to repair the destroyed fishing boat. Just stay at home and practice hard. There's no need to leave in a hurry. Let's rest on the island for a few days." I will catch fish for you to eat at night.”
"The Evil God"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the fishing net hanging on the stone wall and strode out the door. Looking at his retreating back, Chu Mubai's mind went blank.
At this moment, Lan Zuiwu walked out of the room, tilted his head and looked into the distance, then looked at Chu Mubai who was standing there in a daze, and said with a smile: "Mubai, what are you doing?"
Chu Mubai said: "I always feel that Father Sang is not an ordinary person, but I can't tell what's wrong."
"You...don't think he is the Sword Emperor! How is that possible? The Sword Emperor is a god-like figure, a being even more powerful than my elder grandfather. How could he look...such a sloppy look!" Lan! Zuiwu despises being authentic.
"That's true. Maybe Father Sang is really an ordinary fisherman and I'm just thinking wildly. Otherwise, he should have taken action when the Sea Dragon King invaded Wuyou Island. With the Sword King taking action, why bother Ziyue and the others?"
After he finished speaking, he sat back in despair. Lan Zuiwu reached out and gently rubbed his hair, as if comforting an injured puppy, and said: "Don't worry, since the Sword Emperor is not on Wuyou Island, we will go Find somewhere else, I will always be with you."
"Drunken dance." He looked up at her, feeling that she was such a heart-warming little cutie, and couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
In the evening, Father Sang really caught a fish and came back. The fish was very big, almost half a man tall, and looked very plump.
He just carried the big fish on his shoulders and walked back, happily shouting to the yard: "Cui Qiao! Cui Qiao! Come and see, dad caught a big fish!"
Sang Cuiqiao and Lan Zuiwu heard the sound and rushed to see it. Sang Cuiqiao was overjoyed and said, "Dad, the fish you caught today is really big!"
Father Sang said with a smile: "Take it and stew it into a pot of delicious fish soup. It will taste great!"
Sang Cuiqiao couldn't hold such a big fish by herself, so she and Lan Zuiwu worked together to hold the fish in.
Father Sang took the fishing net to dry on the stone wall. While he spread out the fishing net, he carefully checked the holes that needed to be repaired. This big fish was too big. When catching it, it struggled hard and broke several places in the fishing net.
In the kitchen, Lan Zuiwu said happily: "Miss Sang, this fish is really heavy!"
Sang Cuiqiao said happily: "Miss Lan, let's make fish soup together tonight!"
Lan Zuiwu held the big fish carefully, fearing that it would come back to life. She said, "Miss Sang, I don't know how to cook, but Mu Bai can. I'll ask him to come."
Sang Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Master Chu is fighting with Brother Zhao in the backyard. Let's not disturb them."
After Father Sang mended the fishing net, he went to the backyard to watch Chu Mubai and the others fight. He was carrying a teapot and a teacup at the same time. He saw that the two of them were fighting vigorously, so he did not disturb them.
Although Zhao Xi was the captain of Four Seas Shipping, his sword skills were not bad. Chu Mubai was just trying to compete, so he didn't use Wuhunling. The two of them were just comparing their moves.
Father Sang stood aside and watched for a while. While Chu Mubai was exchanging blows, he secretly inquired about the expression on Father Sang's face. He found that there were subtle changes in his face.
In order to confirm his guess, he secretly sent the Evil King to
The magic sword's sword skills were wrong and Zhao Xi deliberately exposed his flaws. Sure enough, he noticed a strange change in Sang's face. Sang did know how to use swords.
In the evening, with the dusk singing deep, Sang Cuiqiao stewed a pot of amomum fish head soup with the big fish she had just caught. Amomum villosum can expel cold and dampness, regulate the body and warm the stomach, refresh the spleen and moisturize the lungs. Drinking a bowl of warm amomum fish head soup will make you feel so comfortable.
The captains drank bowl after bowl, and they all praised Miss Sang's cooking skills. The cold wind blowing on the sea for the past few days has made their bodies somewhat cold. They usually rely on drinking alcohol to drive away the cold and dehumidify. Now, drinking some Amomum villosum and fish head soup can remove the cold and dampness from the body and immediately relax the muscles and bones. Feel comfortable all over.
Zhao Xi praised: "Miss Sang's cooking skills are really incredible. The fish soup is delicious without any fishy smell, and the fish meat is fat but not greasy in the mouth, which is really rare!"
Sang Cuiqiao said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhao. In addition to amomum villosum, I also added a little bit of Amomum villosum to the soup to enhance the flavor, so the fish soup does not have a fishy smell."
Lan Zuiwu smiled and said: "I see, let me tell you, why do you pour wine into the fish head and marinate it with wine before cooking it? So that's it. It seems that cooking is also the same. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn this subject in my lifetime."
Sang Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Miss Lan, if you don't touch Yangchun water with your fingers, why do you need to cook for yourself? Can Mr. Chu cook it for you?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Mubai, who was drinking fish soup. When he saw them looking at him, he said, "If I weren't with her, this girl would have to starve to death! Hahaha!" Everyone laughed. .
Unknowingly, the stars and the moon had climbed into the sky again. Father Sang took a dry pipe and lit the fishing lanterns hanging around the stone wall. The fishing lanterns placed in the glass lampshades were lit, reflecting each other with the stars in the sky.
Lan Zuiwu was puzzled, walked up to him and asked, "Dad Sang, what are you doing lighting these fishing lanterns?"
Father Sang put on his clothes, looked at the dark sea in the distance, and said slowly: "These fishing lanterns are to guide the souls buried in the sea, and also to guide the people lost on the sea."
Lan Zuiwu said: "Can you give me some directions home?"
Father Sang smiled, held the cigarette in his mouth, and nodded.
Seeing Father Sang turn away, Sang Cuiqiao whispered to Lan Zuiwu:
"Lighting fishing lanterns is a custom among the fishermen of Wusou Island. I remember when I was very young, my father and I took a big boat past Wushou Island. The boat sank in a tsunami. My father grabbed a piece of deck and took me to swim all the way. I don’t know how long we swam, but when we were exhausted, we saw fishing lanterns one after another.”
"We were originally in despair, but hope suddenly came to us, so we swam hard towards Sansou Island. After landing, the fishermen on the island rescued us. Later we decided to live in this paradise. At first, we had nothing and nothing. Nothing."
"The fishermen on the island would go from house to house to put together things for us. The owner would give us pots and pans and the west would give us mattresses. The pieced together could be regarded as a family. My father went out to fish with the fishermen. At first he learned to cast a net, but he didn't catch anything. After catching it, he took himself and the net to the sea first, hehehe..."
Listening to Sang Cuiqiao talking about the past, Lan Zuiwu felt sad and funny at the same time. When he heard that Sang's father cast a net for fishing and actually caught himself, he couldn't help laughing.
Sang Cuiqiao took a peek at Sang's father who was sitting on the stone table smoking. Seeing that he didn't notice them, she whispered again: "Miss Lan, what I'm talking to you cannot be done casually to my father." In front of me, he is a very proud person."
"Yeah, yeah, I promise not to talk nonsense." Lan Zuiwu blinked her big blue eyes and nodded obediently. However, in her little head, she was thinking that she had to tell Chu Mubai no matter what later. , he will definitely laugh to death after hearing this.
Sang Cuiqiao smiled again and said:
"But my dad is very good. He learned to fish very quickly. He went from being the stupidest fisherman to the best fisherman on the island, because only he can throw the fishing net the farthest and only he can." Throw the net.”
“So every time my family catches a lot of fish, and if we can’t finish the fish we catch, we will share some with the fishermen on Wuyou Island. We and the fishermen on the island are like a big family, supporting each other. Live a simple and carefree life on this island.”
Lan Zuiwu said: "Miss Sang, you didn't live on Wuyou Island before, but why did you come to live on Wuyou Island? Isn't life in Jiuzhou colorful?"
Sang Cuiqiao thought for a while, and then said: "Life in Jiuzhou is very good, but life with family is the best. In fact, it doesn't matter where you live, the important thing is to be with family."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the sea in the distance, and then said: "My mother-in-law is buried in the sea. The fishing fire my father lit also guided my mother-in-law in the direction home."
Lan Zuiwu was stunned and said: "Your mother..."
Sang Cuiqiao stretched out her hand to touch the stone wall that was half waist high. The stone wall was slightly cool, and the withered grass on the wall was trembling slightly in the wind. She looked at the deep sea in the distance and murmured:
"When I was very young, my mother-in-law had a strange disease. My father visited many famous doctors but could not cure it. Later, my father heard a legend that there was a golden ship in the sea. As long as you take the golden ship, you can travel to the waterless place. , you can cross the Tianhe River and go to the heaven."
"My father thinks that as long as he finds the golden ship, he can take us to heaven and ask the gods in the sky for an elixir to give to my grandma, so that she will not die. Unfortunately, the golden ship was not found, and my grandma He left us first."
"My father buried my mother's body in the sea. He said that he would stay with her at the seaside for the rest of his life. As long as he heard the sound of the ocean's tide, he could feel that my mother was still alive, eternal and immortal... "
Lan Zuiwu sighed: "I didn't expect that Father Sang would be such a chivalrous and tender person. Then did you find the golden ship?"
Sang Cuiqiao smiled and said:
"Things are unpredictable. When we found the golden ship, my mother was already dead. After that, my father had no intention of finding any elixir, so we stayed on Wuyou Island with the golden ship."
"But not long ago, in order to help us eradicate the Sea Dragon King, Miss Han, we worked together to salvage the golden ship from the sea. With the help of the golden ship, we killed the Sea Dragon King. Now the gold ship is hidden by everyone on Skull Island. As for whether there are any gods in this world, we don’t know.”
Lan Zuiwu was overjoyed and said: "Since there is really a golden ship in this world, why don't you give it a try and see if there is really any heaven in this world?"
Sang Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Even if there is a heaven, it has nothing to do with us mortals. The reason why we are eager to find the Taoist elixir is just because we want to retain precious people. Now the person we want to retain is gone, and we can't find it." In the world of heaven, it is no longer important to us whether we seek the elixir or not, right?"
Lan Zuiwu seemed to understand, and nodded slowly. Looking at the continuous fishing fire, he felt warm in his heart. He thought that tough men also have flesh and bones. Father Sang's wife has been away from him for so long, but he still treats her. Such tenderness and long-term affection are really touching.
