Men who grew up by the sea have a mind as broad as the sea. They maintain their simple folk customs with their unique toughness and open-mindedness. Yan Dazhu's generous invitation to everyone for a drink made these fishermen even more motivated to help. The shopkeepers who came to collect the arowana meat also began to pick up large scales to measure.
By the time everything was almost done, it was already sunset, and the rolling sunlight shone on the sea, making it look as red as blood. Yan Dazhu carefully put a gold ticket with a thousand taels of gold written on it into his arms and called on the helping villagers to have a drink.
"What to do with this corpse?" Yan Dazhu's daughter Yan Nier asked loudly.
The body was laid out for a while, and everyone saw it, but no one wanted to say anything. After all, this body has nothing to do with them. If it is buried in peace, it will cost at least more than ten taels of gold to buy a coffin board. It is better to leave it here and wait for the high tide to let it come from wherever it comes. Where to go.
Yan Dazhu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Since the Dragon Prince rushed him to us, we can't ignore it. In this case, we can just go to the town to get a coffin board and bury him later."
"Dazhu, if you do good deeds like this, you will definitely be rewarded. Maybe this dragon fish was sent to you by the Dragon King." An old man touched the beard around his mouth and smiled at Yan. Dazhu said.
Yan Dazhu chuckled and said nothing. At this time, Yan Nier's voice came again: "Dad, come and take a look. It seems that he is not dead yet. I just saw him breathing."
These words shocked Yan Dazhu and others. Many people had a look of fear on their faces. But in the end they still had the courage to come to the corpse, and after careful observation, they finally identified the person in front of them. Just breathing.
Half an hour later, the mortal man was carried to Yan Dazhu's home. With the help of several men, he cleaned the man's body, changed into clean clothes, and invited a doctor to give him two doses of medicine.
But it was a pity that until the drunk Yan Dazhu sobered up the next day, the man still did not wake up. However, Yan Dazhu had no time to pay attention to him, and just left it to his daughter Yan Nier to take care of him. He was busy using the thousand taels of gold to build a brand new fishing boat.
Under the sunset and morning light, a fisherman girl quietly fed the young man lying on the bed. Turning over, and shyly helping the man take off his dusty coat and wash it
In this fleeting time, Yan Dazhu¡¯s new boat has made dozens of trips back and forth in the sea, and time has been reflected on many people¡¯s faces. It left a mark that belongs to this year. And the man who is destined to die. Still lying quietly on the bed.
He remained silent, but still kept breathing. This silent living dead man has been ignored in the fishing village since the beginning. After all, they all need to live. This kind of thing is no longer novel, and everyone's enthusiasm has gradually cooled down.
But after Yan Dazhu¡¯s daughter Yan Nier rejected several marriage proposals, the living dead once again became the talk of the village. Although many people don't say it openly, they do so secretly. But he talked nonsense and said that Yan Dazhu caught a big dragon fish. It wasn't that he didn't catch any treasures. At least he caught a son-in-law.
At the beginning, Yan Dazhu didn't care about this statement, but as more people said it, and his daughter Yanni reached the age of marriage, he finally couldn't bear to listen. After drinking two kilograms of white wine in the village tavern, he was ready to throw the lying living dead outside and let him die on his own.
But before he could take action, he was stopped by Yan Nier. Originally, he relied on his dignity as a father and wanted to forcefully pull the man out. Unexpectedly, Yan Nier, who had a gentle personality, actually took out the fish-cutting knife and pressed it against his chest, and he finally softened.
Although the living dead man stayed in the Yan family again, Yan Dazhu became more and more disgusted with the living dead man's attitude. Because his daughter was at home, he couldn't do anything to the living dead, but his face was gloomy every day.
It was another sunny day. Yan Nier was carrying a bowl of freshly boiled fish soup and gently put it into the mouth of the living dead with a spoon. She was very careful as she was doing it, for fear that a little bit of it would fall into the mouth of the living dead. face.
"The face of this living dead man is many times rounder than when it first came out of the arowana's stomach. After being dressed up by Yan Nier's skillful hands, she looked even more gentle and jade-like.
"It would be great if you wake up sometime. Those people like to talk nonsense. In fact, I don't care what they say. I just feel that my father took you out of the belly of the big dragon fish just to give you to us." The best baby in the family!" The girl said softly when she saw that no one was around.
Although everyone said that the living dead man was unconscious and his brain was dead, she felt that not only was this man still alive, but he could also hear what he said. However, this is what she thinks.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound suddenly came from outside. Yanni was startled, and the bowl on the table tilted, and she saw that the soup inside was about to fall on the face of the living dead. In a hurry, Yan Nier quickly blocked the face with her palms.
Although it has cooled down a lot, the fish soup is still very hot, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Nier's hands were turned red.
Without burning the person who was lying quietly, Yan Nier's face showed a smile of relief, but the pain in the heart of her hand was as if it didn't exist.
The messy look outside made Yan Nier feel worried. She wiped her hands quickly, and then whispered to the living dead: "I'll go out and take a look. I'll be back in a minute. You have to be obedient and stay well."
Although everyone felt that what Yanni said was superfluous, Yanni still insisted that she felt that the living dead lying on the bed would definitely hear it.
The girl ran so fast, like a deer in the forest, that she didn't even see it. The moment she left, the living dead man with his eyes tightly closed moved his eyes and wanted to open them, but Finally it closed.
The head of the fishing village was surrounded by people. A tall and strong man was using the whip in his hand to severely beat a man who was not much shorter than him. However, although this man also had thick arms and thick legs, he did not dare to fight back.
And there was a kind of fishermen standing around, all with angry looks on their faces. But when their eyes fell on the village gate that looked like broken powder, their eyes were filled with fear.
The village gate is made of pure dragon fish bones and a kind of iron wood that is a specialty of this place. It is difficult to make a hole in this gate even with the thickest knife, let alone a hammer. But just now, the man walking at the end smashed the village gate into powder with a hammer.
¡°This requires so much strength, let alone fishermen like them, even if they summon strong men from dozens of surrounding villages, they are still no match for them. So in the face of this kind of violence, they can only endure it.
¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± When Yan Nier rushed over in a hurry, the beaten man had already fallen to the ground as if he was paralyzed in mud. When Yan Nier rushed over, the fat man's whip cleverly bypassed her body and landed on Yan Dazhu's body again.
This whipping was weird, and Yan Dazhu screamed again. When the leading man saw Yan Nier, he chuckled and said, "Since you are his daughter, then you must pay your debts and come with us!"
"You can't take my daughter away!" Yan Dazhu, who was still hiding on the ground motionless, seemed to be crazy and roared loudly. But the strong man who beat him hard with the whip seemed to feel that it was hurting his face, and the whip in his hand was even more merciless. After three blows, Yan Dazhu's skin was immediately torn.
¡°Don¡¯t hit my dad again!¡± Yan Nier listened to her father¡¯s screams, and she didn¡¯t know where the strength came from. She rushed to the big man and grabbed the whip that was about to be wielded.
The strong man's expression changed, and he was just about to swing the whip again when he heard the leading man laugh and say: "It would be better if she is still a filial daughter. Your father owes a debt of three thousand taels of gold in our gambling house." , as the saying goes, a father¡¯s debt is paid by his son, so just come with us!¡±
As the man spoke, he handed a page of paper in his hand to Yan Nier to read.
Yan Nier felt dizzy as she looked at Yan Dazhu's name signed on the paper. She had never thought that her father would owe so much gambling debt.
"Ten thousand taels of gold, their family will never be able to earn it in their lifetime."
"Haha, little girl, our Jixiang Gambling House attaches great importance to our reputation. We always insist on operating with integrity and do no deception. But, then again, who dares to owe our Jixiang Gambling House a debt? Then our Jixiang Gambling House The five hundred brothers will never allow it." As the man spoke, he glanced at the broken village gate and snorted coldly.
Everyone present naturally understood what this man meant. After Yan Dazhu calmed down, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and started to cry.
"This damn Yan Dazhu, he can't go anywhere to have fun, he insists on entering that auspicious gambling house, now I'll see how he can pay off the debt!"
¡°Ten thousand taels of gold, even if we sell our entire village, we still can¡¯t pay it back to him!¡±
"How about we beg them, please don't take away little Yan Ni'er. Yan Ni'er is a good girl, oh, she's being taken away by himIf we take them away, how can we still have a better life? "
"Begging them? Why? It's not like you don't know that within a thousand miles of this place, who dares to owe money to Jixiang Gambling House? I have heard that there is an immortal master in charge of Jixiang Gambling House, even in the county Even if you owe them money, you can¡¯t escape it.¡±
"This child Yan Ni'er is really pitiful. First she was fascinated by the living dead, and now she is involved in such a thing. This Yan Dazhu is really a bastard!"
"Yan Dazhu's family is really unlucky. There was only one living dead in the big dragon fish, and it also fascinated his daughter's mind. Tell me, if someone else catches the big dragon fish, it can guarantee them a lifetime of wealth. How can There are such things" (To be continued)
