Later in the day, as the sun slowly set, Wang Qingye went to the beach with the basket.

There is no land at home, food and clothing can only be bought, and the expenses are not small.Nowadays, apart from selling spices for some money, the family has no other income at all, so let’s go fishing, and there are no fishing boats, and we can’t always borrow other people’s boats to go to sea. Not every fisherman is as talkative as Zhang Wu. Feel free to lend the fishing boat to others. At present, the only way to bring some food back without spending money is to catch the sea.

Wang Qingye figured, after all, he had to save some money to buy his own fishing boat.

"Brother Wang, are you going to catch the sea too?"

Wang Qingye was walking in a trance when suddenly someone beside him greeted him, turned his head, it was Zhang Yan'er.

"That's right. Uncle Wu has gone out to sea today and hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet, I'll go to the sea for a while, and then I can come back with Dad."

Wang Qingye nodded.

"Brother Wang, I'll go there first." The little girl glanced forward, and there was another little girl waving to her in front of her.

Although they are outside, they are not relatives, and two people who are unmarried and unmarried together will cause people to gossip. At first, Wang Qingye disliked these cumbersome etiquettes, but as time passed, he got used to them and got used to them. There's nothing wrong with going your own way.

"Yan'er, who is that gentleman? Look at me with a good eye."

Just when Zhang Yan'er rushed to her companion, she was pulled over to hold her arm.

"We've just moved in next door. Dad often goes there to walk around. Brother Wang is also quite nice, so let's get acquainted with him."

The little girl leaned over and whispered in Zhang Yan'er's ear: "I look so handsome, I don't know if I'm married or not."

Zhang Yan'er said seriously: "Father said that he is not yet married, but who knows if it is true or not, and we don't know if people from other places have settled down elsewhere. Looking up, he is a good-looking talent, so outstanding, it is not strange to be unmarried .”

Enlightened by these words, the little girl came back to her senses, but she took another sneaky look at Wang Qingye: "As far as what you said is right, you are still an attractive gentleman."

The two little girls laughed and joked immediately.

When Wang Qingye arrived at the beach, there were already many people on the coastline rushing to catch the sea.After all, catching the sea is not as dangerous as fishing in the sea, and it can be done by women, children and children, so naturally more people come out.

The setting sun falls from the sea level, and a large piece of sunset glow is sprinkled on the beach. Stepping on the soft sand, the sea water spreads over the insteps from time to time, which is cool and comfortable.

Wang Qingye brought a wooden catalpa to dig the sand, and looked for the slight depressions in the sand. Once he went down, he would be able to dig clams, one small sand depression and one clam, and these small shellfish like to gather together, often It's on a sandy field.

It took half an hour, and Wang Qingye dug half a catty of clams, and caught a few small crabs, a few conch shells and some razor clams one after another. There were too many people, and they couldn't catch too many things by rushing to the sea.

At this time, many fishing boats have already returned to the shore, and they are picking up the seafood caught today one after another. The nearest ones may be transported to their homes to raise them overnight, and sold in the city early in the morning, and some will be packed immediately. Got the goods and went to the city.

Of course, there are also some fishermen who see the crowds on the coast, and they all bring their fellows with them, and when the fishing boat returns to the shore, they start shouting: "Fresh seafood, cheap! Those who want to come hurry up, and they will be sent to the city when it is late." !"

If it wasn’t for those who have fishing boats going out to sea at home, they would not buy it. In fact, many people would join in the fun, looking for seafood that they like and the price is reasonable, and they will buy some.

In this way, the fishermen can sell a lot of goods without having to spend so much effort to transport the sea goods to the city.

Wang Qingye packed up the baskets when he heard the yelling. He came for the fishermen who sold their goods as soon as they returned to the shore.

"Xiao Lang-jun is going to buy seafood?"

A fisherman who was anchoring the boat stopped Wang Qingye.

"The goods here are not bad today, you can choose and see."

Seeing that there was no one here, Wang Qingye agreed.

The seafood that the fishermen hunted today has not had time to sort, and they are all placed in a large drum. Wang Qingye saw that there were many conical squid, long and beautiful sardines, hairtail saury, etc... ....It is miscellaneous, but the harvest is indeed a lot.

"Is Mr. Xiao Lang satisfied?"

Wang Qingye caught a few squids, which are still called squid nowadays. They are sticky, but it is also named after them. In addition, he also brought two long saury and some small squids. Not a small grouper, take it back to keep the orange cat.

The fishermen saw that Wang Qingye was willing to buy it, so they gave away more than a dozen oysters and several sea crabs.

"I will buy it from you next time."

Hearing this, the fisherman said cheerfully, "Then you must recognize me."

After buying seafood, Wang Qingye went to the fishing boat and bought some fresh kelp and sea vegetables, so he stopped staying at the beach and walked back with the seafood.

The days in autumn were still long, and it was already dark when Wang Qingye returned home, and the house was quiet.

He opened the door and entered the room, lit an oil lamp and entered the back room. The ground was actually very dry, and the little mermaid was lying quietly in the bathtub, with the silver-white hair on her forehead swaying gently, occasionally revealing her long hair. The eyebrows come, but it seems that the dream is not peaceful, and the eyebrows are folded from time to time.

"Poor little fellow."

Wang Qingye didn't bother Mianshu, and made a simple dinner. Mianshu didn't get up after the dinner was ready. He put two groupers in the water tank in front of the window, and ground the dried fish scales into pink.

After a lot of tossing, it was not too early, Wang Qingye lay down on the bed, the autumn tiger was roaring, the sky was a bit stuffy, but it was easy to sleep after a busy day, and he fell asleep soon.

In the middle of the night, the room suddenly brightened up, followed by a thunderstorm, and Wang Qingye struggled to open his eyes.

The room was groggy, the windows were open, and the strong wind blew in and blew out the oil lamps.

Wang Qingye fumbled to get up and was about to close the window, when he heard heavy rain falling, hitting the roof yard with great force.

He touched the oil lamp and took out the torch, and the room was brightened instantly. When he turned his head, he saw Mianshu leaning against the tub, with his back turned to him and looking out the window, and he didn't respond even when the room was lit up.

I didn't know when I got up, and I didn't know what I was thinking while looking out the window. The lonely figure was extremely pitiful under the dim candlelight.

Mian Shu was staring at the thunderstorm outside the window in a trance. On such a thunderstorm night, he was suddenly arrested from the Mermaid Palace and locked in a dark deep sea prison. It has been a long time since he saw the sun...... Now he heard the sound of the thunderstorm again. Sound, dreaming back in the middle of the night, I always feel that they are going to catch him again.He leaned against the window, his spine shivering, staring at the yard, for fear that a shadow would pass by.

"Are you homesick?"

Just when he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality, suddenly the top of his head was rubbed, a warm hand was placed on his head, and the slightest warmth spread to his body.Mian Shu tilted her head in panic, only to realize that the room was lit up, and Wang Qingye got up too.

Seeing that the little mermaid's face was full of fear, Wang Qingye gently brushed the hair sticking to his side face behind his ears, fearing that the words he teased him today would give him nightmares, so he said softly, "Don't be afraid, today is about coaxing." your."

Mian Shu looked dazed, with lingering fears in his heart, and he hadn't recovered from the nightmare yet.

"I'll send you back to the sea after your injuries are healed."

When she heard that she could go back to the sea, Mianshu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn't focus: "You...what did you say?"

"I said I'll take you back to the sea when you're better."

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true. How much can you sell for a small fish cub? If I want to sell it, no one else will buy it."

The tears in Mian Shu's eyes piled up and slipped down inadvertently, Wang Qingye felt very guilty when he saw it, he wiped Mian Shu's tears, even the little mermaid's tears were cold.

"Then, won't you eat me then?"

Wang Qingye frowned: "Who said I want to eat yours?"

"I saw you sharpening your knife in the yard that day!"

Wang Qingye was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember for a while when he sharpened the knife and was seen by the little boy, he remembered it in a daze, it seemed that he had cut the wood knife and stewed it the day he brought the little mermaid back, and indeed he had sharpened it in the yard for a while, but he didn't know Let this little guy misunderstand.

"I sharpen knives to chop firewood and cook. Do you think you eat raw like you?"

Mian Shu raised her eyes in surprise: "You already know!"

Wang Qingye laughed: "You know what?"

Mian Shu knew that she had slipped her mouth, so she quickly closed her mouth.

Wang Qingye rubbed the silly cub again: "Okay, let's go to sleep."

"But I'm afraid!"

Seeing that Wang Qingye was about to leave, Mian Shu quickly reached out and hugged his waist: "They will catch me!"

Wang Qingye's waist was tightly entangled, unable to move: "Who is going to arrest you?"

Mian Shu buried herself in front of him, her shoulders were shaking all the time, but she didn't answer.

Wang Qingye had no choice but to pat Xiao Zai Zai on the back, waiting for him to calm down.

There were thunderstorms outside, and lightning tore through the night again and again. It rained for an unknown period of time, and the water from the eaves straightened. The shadow of Wang Qingye illuminated by the oil lamp was like an unshakable mountain.

"Mianshu, with me here, no one will come here to arrest you. It was just a nightmare, and nothing in the dream was real."

The little mermaid felt relieved, but she refused to let go of her hand.

Wang Qingye's legs were almost numb, and it's not a problem to be exhausted after doing so. He raised his hand and took a cloth to wipe his soft hair, and asked after deliberation: "Then sleep with me tonight?"

The motionless little guy holding him finally reacted, slowly let go of his hand, and wiped the cold tears on his face, thinking that sleeping with someone is impossible, besides, he liked it before To tease Xiao Yuzi, he must not dare to get too close to him, but unexpectedly, the little guy nodded his head.

Wang Qingye choked for a moment, he dug a hole himself and jumped down, there is no reason for fish to sleep on the bed, a good big bathtub does not sleep, what good is it to squeeze with him, he hesitated and waited for Mianshu to repent , Unexpectedly, the little guy stretched out his arms towards him, motioning to hug him up!

"You really want to sleep with me? Are you not afraid of me? The bed is very small."

Mian Shu didn't answer, just moved his arms, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Wang Qingye suddenly felt a pain in his brain, but he had no choice but to carry out his promise to pick up the little cub. He wiped off the water stains on Mianshu's body with a dry cloth, and said worriedly, "Can I do without water at night? Will my body be too hot?" Dry?"

"There will be no problem. It will be fine if you don't go into the water for three days."

Mian Shu sat on Wang Qingye's lap, thinking that his movements were too slow, it took him a long time to dry his body, so he took the dry cloth in his hand and wiped his tail himself.

Wang Qingye:......
