Little Duck Bay.
A small village by the sea, located in the far west of Jingxi. Except for the natural disasters from the evil sea to the west, this place has never suffered any other disasters. Most of the people who live here have ancestors for many generations, and the incense has been passed down from generation to generation.
If you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea; if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains. Although this place is remote, there is definitely no shortage of food. There are yellow-skinned carvings with fresh and tender meat, plump and solid billfish, and round dolphin fish with springy teeth and fragrant flavor... There are different kinds of fish to eat here all year round, with or without shells. Yes, many species cannot even be named by anyone except local fishermen.
Behind Little Duck Bay is a natural fishing port, which is convenient for parking and entering and exiting. It is not far from a sidewalk paved by the villagers themselves, and can be carried by car to a town more than 40 miles away for sale.
Although you can live on just fish and sea vegetables, who doesn’t want fish and fish soup with rice? There are no fields in the fishing village, so all the food depends on the seafood business in the town.
Fresh fish is the easiest to sell, but it doesn’t have to be transported very far. It usually reaches the limit when it reaches the town. Any further than the villagers can transport it, because it will stink. Next is dried fish.
Of course, there are also low-cost transportation options, where the ice cellar truck takes you away, or there are even options where you can store the items directly in bags. But this has nothing to do with small fishing villages like Little Duck Bay. Even though they are rich in seafood, they don’t have many people and their output is small. There are no wealthy merchants coming to buy and sell.
There is also a rocky bay behind the fishing village. There is a small temple with a radius of three feet on top of a huge rock. Inside, a monster named "King of Fishes" is enshrined. It is said that it can suppress the weather and protect fishermen's safety and ability to go to sea. The harvest is rich. People come to worship all year round.
It can even be said that this small temple, which we don’t know who built it or how long it has existed, is actually the only spiritual sustenance for the dozens of fishermen in Xiaoya Bay. The old people pass it on to young people, and the young people pass it on to young children. From generation to generation, this is their life.
Not only do you pray to the King of Fish for a smooth trip to the sea, but you will come here to pay your respects whenever you have a headache, fever, or have any expectations in your heart. It is not that it is really useful, but it is for psychological stability.
However, the peaceful Little Duck Bay has not been peaceful recently.
First, a group of men in black robes and swords came to the village, accompanied by the town's security chief and mayor, saying they were here to publicize the dangers of Shen Hao's "evil monks".
The mayor and security chief, who had rarely seen each other before, were like puppies on a leash in front of these men in black robes, wagging their tails to please them, completely unable to see the majesty of these two big figures in Zhoubian villages and towns in the past.
Although the villagers are simple, they are not stupid. Although they don't know the origins of those black-robed men, they know that they can't afford to offend these black-robed men because even the mayor and security chief are so groveling. Learn from the two big shots and be more honest.
Only some people in the village who have traveled far and seen the world understand who these men in black robes are.
Xuan Qingwei! ? Why did these vicious men come to a small village like Little Duck Bay? Although all of them were laughing, the villagers who knew the meaning of the Taotie tattoos on their chests were so frightened that their calves were trembling. If their families had no place to run here, they would have disappeared long ago.
There were also clan elders in the village, but they were equally at a loss for the arrival of Xuan Qingwei.
However, after a few days, the villagers' nervousness subsided. These black-robed Xuanqing guards did not do anything evil in the village. On the contrary, they sent a lot of rice and noodles. All they asked for was that each household should send people out to listen to "Pingba" in the village. Mission."
Moreover, the content of the preaching is also very interesting. To the young people in the village, it is like a bizarre story. What evil monks, what kind of magic cultivators, and how many evil deeds are cruel and terrible. Anyway, I listen to it with gusto, and at the same time, I have the idea that "evil monks are not good people." It can be regarded as starting to form in the minds of the villagers.
The missionary team from the Black Flag Camp who came here also felt that things went very smoothly. The people in Little Duck Bay were very honest and did not have any obvious xenophobic ideas. They were very cooperative inside and outside. After some exploration and missionary work, the place was classified as "low risk."
Of course, there are also so-called "worships to gods" in Little Duck Bay, but this is very normal. Even people in the city don't have sacrificial activities during the Blue Moon Festival? It's essentially no different from this. Just make sure that the "worshiping of gods" here has nothing to do with evil monks.
The missionary team here was not careless and perfunctory. They went to the rocky bay behind the village and repeatedly explored it several times. It was a very dilapidated small temple with no sign of any evil monks at all. Moreover, there are no valid legends about "worshiping gods" in the village.
The villagers had just gotten used to the missionary team coming every so often, and then came the news of the "Great Victory in the South."
Although no one in the village participated in this battle, it did not prevent the villagers from being happy. Drink when you feel happy, even if the wine is bad, it can still be intoxicating.
Some people go home drunk and fall asleep on the bed, while others wander around while still drunk. It is not easy to go to every house. If you go, you will be nagged or coaxed to go home and fall asleep. Therefore, Luan Shiwan became a place frequented by a few people in the village who liked to run around after getting drunk.
After going to the small ruined temple, I thought that the kind-hearted Fish King would not lose his temper. After a sleep, the drunkenness would dissipate, and I would go home refreshed.
But the only drawback is that it is very windy in the small temple at night. Even if your back is to the wind, there is still wind pouring in from outside. Even if it becomes less cold after spring, it will still freeze people. Fortunately, huddled behind the stone statues in the temple can block some wind, and I can fall asleep quickly after being drunk. It’s just that I don’t know whether I will be sick the next day or not.
While I was sleeping, I had a dream. In the dream, the kind-hearted Fish King appeared and said that the wind in the temple was strong and it was easy to get cold, so he gave me medicine. If you really catch a cold the next day, you can take it...
The pill was not big, just like a bean, round, bright red and still warm in the hand. Even in my dream, I could smell the alluring sweetness emanating from this pill.
"Hey, this is what the medicine given by the Fish King turned out to be like?" After a thought, he fell asleep.
When daybreak came, several drunkards returned home dizzy after being blown by the cold wind all night. Except for one who was lucky, the rest all caught a cold.
People in the village usually make a bowl of herbs and drink it when they catch a cold. Only when I can't bear it anymore will I go to the town hospital.
However, one of them inadvertently remembered the dream, then reached out and dug into his pocket subconsciously, and the originally amused expression on his face suddenly froze. He was still feeling funny about his dream last night, because he really caught a cold, and then he subconsciously touched his pocket, and actually touched a small warm pill when he touched it! ?
