A few days later, Lin Xiaodong came to Jiangji City and overheard that there was a Nanpingzhou Village outside Jiangji City, where several sharks came and they sold the biggest and best fish.
"It must be Shi Chong and the others."
Lin Xiaodong was very happy and rushed to Nanpingzhou Village.
In the afternoon, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw that it was obviously a human fishing village. It was not small in scale, and all the people coming in and out were fishermen.
"Hello, may I ask, have any sharks visited the village recently?"
Lin Xiaodong asked a villager.
The villager pointed to the south: "The sharks don't live in the village. They built their own houses and a small village in the south."
"OK, thanks."
Lin Xiaodong reined in his horse and turned around.
“Are you here to buy fish?
Our village is full of fishermen."
The villagers stopped Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong turned around and smiled: "I'm not here to buy fish, I'm here to find people."
The villagers heard this and left angrily.
Lin Xiaodong rode his horse and walked south. Not far away, he saw a few temporary thatched houses standing on the deserted beach, with smoke still rising from the kitchen.
"This is it!"
Lin Xiaodong looked around. This place was backed by a hill. There was a gentle slope in front of the mountain, full of light yellow wild flowers, swaying in the wind.
At the foot of the mountain are several thatched houses, which look like temporary structures. Farther away is a white sandy beach with a wooden bridge extending to the sea, with more than a dozen fishing boats of various sizes tied to both sides.
"The paradise on earth is nothing more than this!"
Lin Xiaodong looked at the blooming mountain flowers and then at the boundless sea. He got off his horse and walked closer along the dirt road.
There was a thin woman squatting at the door of a thatched house on the roadside. She was washing clothes. She wore a small yellow flower on her head. When she heard the footsteps, she looked up and suddenly her eyebrows lit up: "Brother Lin!"
Lin Xiaodong looked down and saw that the woman was Lu Zhu.
"Brother Lin, you are really here! I miss you so much!"
Lu Zhu put down the clothes in her hands, jumped up in surprise, and hugged Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong staggered as he was hit, and patted Lu Zhu on the back: "Let me see you! Where is your brother?"
"My brother and the others have gone to the city to sell fish. Come in quickly."
Luzhu took Lin Xiaodong's hand, brought him into the house, and shouted loudly: "Mom, Brother Lin is here!"
Xu Suyun came out and was very happy to see Lin Xiaodong: "Oh, you are really here!"
Lin Xiaodong asked kindly: "Auntie, are you still used to living here?
Didn’t the people in the village bully you?”
Xu Suyun waved her hand: "No, no, we don't live in the village. We live alone and rarely interact with the villagers."
"That's good, that's good. You'll be safe here."
Lin Xiaodong nodded.
"Lv Zhu, go and make tea for Brother Lin!"
Xu Suyun greets Lvzhu.
"okay!"
Green Pearl jumped out.
"Come and sit down and talk."
Xu Suyun invited Lin Xiaodong to sit down.
Lin Xiaodong looked around. Although this thatched house was simple, it was clean and tidy.
"Thank you for your hard work. When you come here, you have to start from scratch."
Lin Xiaodong felt very sorry.
Xu Suyun shook his head and waved his hands: "We are the Shark tribe. We are exposed to the wind and sun every day on the sea, and we are used to hardship. Isn't it just building a house? There are so many young men like Shi Chong, and this thatched house was built in a few days."
"This place is quite nice. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. The hill I just passed by has yellow flowers blooming on it. It's really beautiful."
Lin Xiaodong looked out the window.
"Yes, yes, I just told Shi Chong that when I get old, I will be buried on that mountain and look at the sea every day."
Xu Suyun smiled.
Xu Suyun reminded Lin Xiaodong. Lin Xiaodong was shocked and his eyes widened: Just bury Lan Ruo here! Lin Xiaodong immediately thought that if Lan Ruo was buried here, he would also have to settle here.
"Actually, I came here not only to see you, but also to arrange a place for myself."
Lin Xiaodong said.
Xu Suyun tilted her head: "You don't have a place to live?
Then just live here and let Shi Chong and the others build another house for you in a few days."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I think so too, and it's not just me who comes to live here."
"Who else?
You, girlfriend?
family?"
Xu Suyun tentatively said.
Lin Xiaodong sighed: "We went to the territory of your Shark tribe to find legendary treasures and medicinal materials. Before we came to your island, a friend and two friends who were traveling with me died unexpectedly."
"Oh..." Xu Suyun lowered his head.
"We were being hunted by people at the time, and the situation was critical. We could only bury them there temporarily. I was trying to find a good place for my two friends. I looked at the hills outside the village, which looked very good."
"Then just move the grave here. Do you want to live here too?"
Xu Suyun asked.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "This friend died because of me. After death, he will also be a neighbor to me."
"Okay, okay, I will tell Shi Chong and others when they come back."
Xu Suyun nodded.
"Shi Chong and the others are fishing every day now?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
Xu Suyun shook his head: "I go to sea every other day. I go to sea on the first day and go to the city to sell fish the next day. The business is good. The fishing skills of the human fishermen are far behind those of our Shark people!"
"That's good, let's go back to our old business."
"Shi Chong and the others went to the city to sell fish today. They won't be back until nightfall. You can wait here for a while. Come back in the evening and have a meal together."
Lu Zhu came into the room with tea and poured a cup for Lin Xiaodong himself: "Brother Lin, drink tea!"
Lin Xiaodong took the tea cup and said with a smile: "Lv Zhu, do you still remember how you poured me tea the first time we met?"
Luzhu's face turned red and her nose twitched: "Oh, stop talking! I thought you were a bad person!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lin Xiaodong drank tea, chatted with Lu Zhu, then walked around the village, went to the beach to have a look, and then went to the mountains to choose a place for Lan Ruo and wait for Shi Chong to come back.
Shi Chong and the others pulled a carriage to Jiangji City early in the morning to sell fish. The Sharks had some special techniques for fishing and preservation. The fish they caught were big and fresh, and became more and more famous. The major restaurants in the city had the right to
Rich young men all rushed to buy it.
We set off in the morning and arrived at noon. Several carts of fish were sold out before it was even afternoon. Other fishmongers in the fish market could only stare.
"Sold out, let's go home!"
Wu Shaohui sold out the last basket of fish and greeted everyone happily.
Shi Chong and his group began to pack their things and prepare to go home.
The other fishmongers hadn't opened yet, and they all looked at Shi Chong and others with envy.
"Damn it, go up and fuck them!"
One of them, a big-eyed social boy, couldn't hold himself any longer, spat on the ground, shook his head and walked to Shi Chong.
"Who told you to sell fish here?"
Big eyes stopped Wu Shaohui.
When Wu Shaohui saw it, he obviously wanted to cause trouble. He curled his lips contemptuously, looked around and said, "Anyone can sell it to me, why can't I sell it?"
