Accidents in life will always come unexpectedly. Even if you don't cause trouble, trouble will come to you.
Just after Hong Yanwu and the others went into the sea, "Xiaobaizi" continued to make breakfast for everyone according to his usual habit.
Unexpectedly, after he cooked the noodles, braised some "oyster" meat, sprinkled with minced green onion, and lit with sesame oil, the aroma that spread far away actually attracted the people next to a bonfire downwind.
Three "sea bumpers" were attracted.
In this era, the fierce revolution led to an extreme shortage of food across the country. Bincheng is not the capital, and the food shortage is very serious. So even though the sea cucumbers and abalone fished out by "Hai Bangzi" can be exchanged for money, the residents of this city have food every month.
It's hard to make savings from the quota, and they can't get food stamps through the black market like they can in Beijing.
In addition, these "sea bumpers" by the bonfire have been at the beach for several days, and the dry food they brought has basically been used up. Therefore, for them who rely on sea food to fill their stomachs, it is simply a matter of time for them to have a full meal of rice and white noodles.
The most coveted thing.
In fact, these people couldn't stand the smell of noodles as soon as they smelled it, and their mouths watered with greed. Driven by an instinct, they quickly smelled the smell and found the source.
When they saw the fragrant noodles cooking in the pot, they immediately eagerly took out a bag of sea food they had brought with them, saying that they wanted to trade these things with "Xiaobaizi" for two kilograms of dried noodles.
Those seafood items were roughly four or five kilograms of scallops and more than twenty "thorn pots." Based on the real value of the items, this transaction was not a bad deal.
It's a pity that "Xiao Baizi" didn't dare to make the decision on this matter. He told these people that he would wait until Hong Yanwu and others came back from "the sea".
Unexpectedly, these few words directly revealed the identity of "Xiaobaizi" from the capital. As a result, the three boys blew up the temple at that time, and began to inquire about what "Xiaobaizi" came here to do.
What? They also say that the sea belongs to Bincheng people, and outsiders are never allowed to go fishing in the sea.
"Little Baizi" then remembered that he had forgotten the instructions of "Old Saury". He was still a half-grown child, so he couldn't help but panic. In desperation, he had no choice but to tell the name of "Old Saury", hoping that the other party could
To sell face.
But if you don't say it, it's okay. But if you say it, it has the opposite effect and completely makes these people relax.
The three boys smiled disdainfully and said, "Let the 'Old Saury' find us." Then they started to take action and rummaged through Hong Yanwu and his friends' things.
In this situation, how could "Xiao Baizi" protect himself completely? In anxiety, while continuing to try his best to stop him, he began to shout for help to Hong Yanwu in the sea.
This is how the shouts that Hong Yanwu and the others heard just now came from here.
On the other hand, the things were not hidden or tucked in, they were all there in plain sight, so the three boys quickly found what they wanted. There were dozens of kilograms of noodles alone, and there were many other good things.
While they were sighing in admiration, they just threw the "sea goods" they brought at "Xiaobaizi"'s feet, and began to get what they needed without any politeness.
But at this time, it was completely different from what they had said at the beginning. Not only did these three boys take away three or four kilograms of noodles, but they also started to take sesame oil and eggs.
There was even a boy who went even further and took two boxes of "Xiangshan" brought by Hong Yanwu and others from the capital, and took away the last bottle of "Zhuanghe Laojiao".
This was obviously a blatant robbery. How could "Xiaobaizi" not be impatient? Naturally, he refused to let these people leave, so he started to argue with them in a blushing manner.
It's just that since the other party was in such a bad state, he was just trying to bully others, so how could he make any sense again? So a boy got impatient and pushed "Xiao Baizi" to the ground. Let "Xiao Baizi" be careful
The thin little body rolled on the beach two or three times before stopping.
It was this scene that stimulated Hong Yanwu. He didn't even bother to call Chen Liquan and swam back to the shore. The "Old Sabryfish" and Chen Liquan quickly woke up, and then they also chased Hong Yanwu and swam back to the shore.
The distance to the shore is not close, but far. Hong Yanwu, relying on his strong physical strength, can actually swim faster than ordinary people, but it still takes about two minutes to swim back.
He was now afraid that these people would take advantage of him and not be merciful, or that "Xiaobaizi" would try to stop him regardless of his ability, causing these people to punch and kick him, which would really hurt him.
But fortunately, the attention attracted by this dispute was not limited to them. Some people from other nearby bonfires also noticed the situation here. A few people took the initiative to walk over to see what was going on, and the three boys stayed temporarily.
hand.
In this way, "Xiao Baizi" finally didn't get beaten again. And Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Old Saury", either before or after, finally arrived in time.
However, those three boys seemed to be quite arrogant. Two of the people who came to ask questions went back halfway as soon as they saw clearly that it was them. The others asked a few questions and then went about their business. The three of them still looked nonchalant and unobtrusive.
It seemed that even when Hong Yanwu and the others were found ashore, their expressions did not change at all, as if they were sure that no one could do anything to them.
This relaxed virtue made Hong Yanwu angry at first sight. As soon as he stepped ashore, his eyes were fixed on the three people who were embarrassing "Xiao Baizi", and his cold eyes were chilling. It made those unrelated people
Everyone saw that he was not a good person, so they all took a few steps back.
When "Xiao Baizi" saw Hong Yanwu and the others, he saw a savior, and he quickly recounted what had just happened.
When Hong Yanwu figured out what was going on, the fire in his heart surged up uncontrollably, and he opened his mouth to yell and curse. But the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back because "Old Saury" knew these people.
, he had already started to ask questions first.
"'Sea Hare', 'Sea Dog', 'Dead Corpse', why are you bullying people? Are you still being unreasonable? Put your things down quickly!"
But those three boys all looked very conceited and didn't even bother with "Old Saury" in their eyes. One boy, who was a bit toothy, even made cheap remarks.
"Why are we being so unreasonable? Look at what is around that child. We didn't get it for nothing, we got it in exchange for sea food. I said, 'Old Swordfish', these things can keep you busy for most of the day. Forget it.
We take care of your old man, no need for you to thank us."
"Old Saury" turned red with anger on the spot. He glanced at the things around "Xiao Baizi" again, and his face became even more ugly.
"'Hai Gouzi', why are you such a bastard! Is this your theory? We'Hai Gouzi' never rub dirt in our eyes, show everyone, this is what a man should do! I
Are you willing to do this kind of deal with you..."
Another boy with a particularly dark complexion noticed some changes in the expressions of the people watching. He knew that some people were starting to think that what they were doing was unreasonable. So he quickly retorted, and his words were extremely unpleasant.
"'Old Swordfish', I think you are really old and confused! If nothing else, what's the matter with you taking foreigners to 'touch the sea'? If you do what you do, what will we all eat! In fact, I know, it's nothing more than
It's because your body is old and you can't go to the sea on your own that you want to teach two people
Disciple, share more of the seafood. But you don’t think about it, are outsiders reliable? Then you might as well tell us all how to fish for goods under the "Hai Liuzi", and let us provide you with a pension until the end of your life. All of you, tell us,
Am I right about 'Sea Hare'..."
The few words of this kid were purely to incite the masses to fight against the masses. Not to mention, it was really effective. When the few "Hai Bangzi" who were outside the office heard this, they were all stabbed in their hearts. Under the abduction of interests, they actually
They all persuaded "Old Saury" not to fall out with everyone in the capital because it was neither worth it nor deserved.
And just when "Old Swordfish" was tired of coping, the last remaining boy, nicknamed "Dead Corpse", couldn't hold him anymore, and he also began to shake his head and become impoverished.
"'Old Swordfish'. It's not nice to say it. If it weren't for the fact that you were a good man back then, these boys would be here with you today. We would have thrown your things into the sea. But don't give it to me either.
Shameless. Let’s put it this way, if you dare to take these boys to the sea again, don’t blame us for falling out with you..."
"Are you being a bastard? 'Hai Bangzi' has never had such a rule! If nothing else, my ancestors, 'Old Swordfish', are from Shandong. Among you guys, which of your ancestors is authentic?
Bincheng people? If it weren’t for this sea to feed the poor people who travel everywhere, your ancestors would have starved to death..."
"Old Sabryfish" got angry for a rare moment, and what he said was indeed reasonable. Most people were immediately speechless. Even "Dead Corpse" and "Sealfish" clicked their shells at this moment.
No one could answer the conversation.
After a moment of silence, the "sea bunny" lost his temper. He glared, raised his fist, and said harsh words.
"'Old Swordfish', you're really good! You can't help but rely on your old age. Don't you want to take them to the sea? Okay, I'll make it happen. However, today I will set a new rule for you. From now on, as long as we see each other,
You guys, we still have to deal like this. To put it bluntly, taking something from you is a compliment to you, even if you pay the rent to the uncle. If you don't listen to the uncle, I will beat you every time I see you in the future and throw you all away.
Go to the sea..."
At this point, he was completely broken. Now Sea Rabbit obviously wanted to use his fists instead of reason. For a moment, "Old Sabre" was shocked and dumbfounded by his blatant arrogance and tyranny.
Although the few "sea rabbits" who were watching knew what was right and wrong, they knew that "sea rabbits" had a bad temper and usually hit people. Secondly, they were local "sea rabbits".
Their attitude was "to help relatives but not to deal with justice", and they really didn't want to uphold justice. Therefore, everyone looked on with a cold eye, with a sense of watching the excitement, and some gloating about others' misfortune.
The atmosphere suddenly turned into a kind of confrontation.
But at this moment, what no one expected was that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan burst into laughter, as if they had discovered something particularly funny.
Even "Little Baizi" smiled, looking up and down at "Sea Hare", with only unreasonable contempt in his eyes.
