I Created Cthulhu In Naruto
Chapter 38: Captain Matthew
The land of the sea, Jiro Island.
The red sun gradually sinks below the sea level, and the fishing boats that go out to sea during the day begin to dock at the port of Jiro Island.
It is said to be a port, but in fact, only two dozen small fishing boats and seven or eight medium-sized fishing boats have docked. These are all the fishing boats of the local villagers.
"I'm back!"
A sturdy, bronze-skinned man jumped out of the fishing boat, wearing a bamboo hat and a mink robe, waving toward the shore.
At this time, a mother and daughter were standing on the shore. The woman was wearing gray coarse clothes. The girl beside her had short purple hair and looked only over three years old.
The man skillfully tied the boat, then walked to the mother and daughter's side.
"dad!"
The little girl broke free from her mother's hand and jumped into the man's arms. The man immediately picked up the girl and held it up happily.
"Haha, Yuhuo, did you listen to your mother at home today?"
"Yeah." The little girl named Yuhuo nodded with a bright smile.
The woman next to her came over and looked at the man affectionately and said, "Husband, it's hard work."
"Well, let's go home first." The man let the girl ride on his shoulders, and the family of three walked towards the village.
...
This family of three lives in a fishing village on Jiro Island, the land of the sea. The man's name is Yushan, the woman's name is Tomomi, and their child is Yuhuo.
The fishing village, as the name suggests, is that all the village's income comes from fishing, so Yushan named his daughter Yuhuo.
First, I hope that I can catch fish every time I go out to sea, and second, I hope that my daughter can illuminate the way home like a beacon in the sea.
When the family of three returned home, the food was already on the table, and they could eat right away.
There were two or three vegetable leaves floating on the muddy white fish soup in the middle of the dining table. Each person had a small salted fish and a bowl of rice.
Although life is hard, the family of three talks and laughs at the dinner table and looks very happy.
After dinner, Yushan called Yuhuo to his side.
"I'll go out with my mother and come back in a while, will you stay at home first?"
"Yeah." Yuhuo was very obedient and nodded obediently.
Seeing that their daughter agreed, Yushan and Zhimei left home.
...
When they came to the port, Yushan and Zhimei got into their small fishing boat, opened the fish hatch in the middle, and they saw the fish inside with the light of the torches.
In the huge fish cabin, there are only three fish smaller than the palm of your hand, and they are not high-level fish. This is the harvest of Yushan for a whole day.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the coastal waters, and the fishing boats that went with them today have almost the same harvest."
Yushan sat on the edge of the boat and stared at the three fish in the fish tank with a frown.
Tomomi didn't know what to say when she saw the less and less harvest every day. She knew that this family would collapse sooner or later.
Most of Jiro Island is salt land, which is not suitable for farming. Therefore, the income of each family in the fishing village depends on the men going out to sea to fish.
Under such circumstances, even if the woman in the family knew that her husband had hardly had a harvest in the past month, there was nothing that could help the family.
"There may be a light rainstorm tomorrow, and I can't go out to fish anymore, **** it!"
Yushan's fist hit the edge of the boat, making a bang.
Originally, it was possible to go fishing in a small rainstorm, but Yushan's fishing boat was too small, and even a small rainstorm might overturn Yushan's fishing boat.
Zhimei also knew that her husband was very troubled now, so she sat next to Yushan and comforted: "If you can move to the mother island, maybe there is a way to survive."
Regarding Zhimei's proposal, Yushan immediately shook his head and denied: "Impossible, the land of the sea has not much territory in the first place, and now the population of the mother island is already large, it is impossible for the lord to let the residents of other islands move to the mother island to live. ."
There are four islands in the land of the sea. The mother island is the most abundant in material, area and population, followed by Dalang Island, and the weakest is Jiro Island.
As for the last Ghost World Island, it is basically a reef beach, and a village cannot be built on the ground.
"There are many people who want to leave Jiro Island for so many years, but only Matthew has succeeded."
When it comes to Matthew, there is a hint of admiration in Yushan's eyes, because Matthew is the pride of the entire fishing village.
Although he came from a humble background, Matthew worked hard after joining a shipping company called Cardo. Now he has his own large merchant ship and has frequent trade exchanges with the island countries surrounding the Land of Water.
I heard from other villages along the coast that the current Matthew is no longer the fisherman Matthew, but Captain Matthew.
Thinking of this, Yushan felt a little regretful in his heart.
If I had followed Matthew to work in Cardo Shipping Company, my family would not have to worry about making a living because they couldn't catch fish.
"Husband, don't think too much about it. Since you can't go fishing tomorrow, then go to the Dragon King Temple with me to pray. The rest of the village will also go tomorrow."
"Ok."
...
The next day.
Indeed, it was hard to see a ray of sun on the sea, and a slightly strong sea breeze swayed the fishing boats docked at the port.
The pattering rain hit dozens of fishing boats docked at the port. Today, none of the fishermen tried to go out to sea.
The villagers of the fishing village were not sheltering from the wind and rain in their homes at this time, but concentrated in the Dragon King Temple of the fishing village.
The Dragon King Temple is a temple to worship the Dragon King. The fishing villages along the coast generally worship the Dragon King~www.NovelMTL.com~ In the hearts of the fishermen, the Dragon King is the Sea God, and the sea creatures, shrimp, turtles, fish and crabs belong to the Dragon King. , worship the Dragon King before going to sea to get a good harvest and return to the voyage smoothly.
Although the Dragon King Temple in the fishing village is not magnificent, it is the largest building in the entire fishing village and can accommodate all the villagers.
More than 100 villagers in the fishing village knelt together in the Dragon King Temple, and kowtowed to the Dragon King's clay statue over and over again under the auspices of the village chief.
The pity is that the tribute plate in front of the statue of the Dragon King is empty, and the village is so poor that it can't even pay tribute.
"Lord Dragon King, I pray that you will give us a good harvest of fish cabins!"
After speaking, the village chief led all the villagers to kowtow to the statue of the Dragon King.
"Lord Dragon King, I ask you to grant us a calm sea!"
All the villagers kowtowed again.
Click!
There was a thunderstorm outside the temple, and all the villagers were frightened by the flickering of the thunder.
The villagers looked back at the gloomy sky outside the temple, as if it was more unsettled than before.
At this time, the broken wooden door of the Dragon King Temple was kicked open, making a loud noise, and a burly man stood at the entrance of the temple.
Click!
There was another thunderous roar, and the light of thunder rushed frantically into the Dragon King Temple from the door, and shone on the slightly frightened faces of the villagers.
The air froze for a second, and the person at the door did not ask for any instructions, and walked directly into the Dragon King Temple in the eyes of Confucius.
The villagers on both sides of the door were about to step forward to catch the rude man, but when they got up and saw the man's face, they immediately stopped.
"Matthew..."
"Matthew!"
"It's Matthew back!"
