Chapter 1 (1/2)
In the South China Sea, a very old wooden fishing boat is carrying out fishing operations under the scorching sun.
The fishing boat looks like it has been for some years. The original white paint of the fishing boat is only mottled. There are still some damaged parts on the hull after collision, which are only repaired with a few boards and nails.
As soon as the sea breeze blows, the sail ropes creak and the ship's hull is shaking. It seems that there is a risk of capsizing at any time in case of a slightly larger wave.
On the fishing boat, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old is gripping his teeth to pull up the fishing net under the sea. His blue veins are exposed on his arm. His black skin is covered with sweat all the year round. His vest has been completely soaked, leaving white salt spots under the scorching sun.
Because of years of fishing life, the muscle lines of young people are very clear, but they seem to be a little thin.
His name is Nie Yun. This old fishing boat is the only property left to him by his father. He is not his own father. He is an orphan and has been adopted by his father since childhood.
Poor family, he read only primary school, and then his son inherited his father's career, naturally became a glorious fisherman.
As for why fishermen are glorious, because his old alcoholic father told him, ”the labouring people are glorious, and the fishermen are also working people, so fishermen are glorious!”
Therefore, when Nie Yun was asked by his teacher about his future ambition in primary school, he replied with pride: ”my ambition is to be a glorious fisherman!”
After a long time, Nie Yun finally knew the truth of the matter.
During this period of time after his father's death, Nie Yun still mentioned this matter in front of his grave from time to time, scolded the old man for being ungrateful, and then fell asleep with tears on a stone.
”It's up to you to eat spicy food or bran pharyngeal vegetables tonight, it depends on this net!” Nie Yun shouts a nondescript chant. With all his strength in his hands, he finally pulls up the fishing net.
Then he looked at a few small shrimps in the fishing net, sighed for a long time, smashed it and said, ”it's OK, it's OK. Millet porridge and shrimp soup are all said on the radio. It's called health preservation!”
After a while of self hypnosis, he drives the stewed pork and big fat intestines out of his mind. Nie Yun looks at the sky and starts to clean up the fishing net, fine tune the sails and prepare to sail back. A series of movements are extremely agile, which shows his superb skill in ship control.
The best time for fishing had passed. It was near the sea. He knew very well that it would be a waste of effort to fish again.
The small fishing boat also has an old diesel engine. In the words of Nie Yun's father, their ”sea wolf” is a high-grade hybrid fishing boat!
However, in order to save that precious diesel, Nie Yun generally uses wind energy, a natural and pollution-free energy, as the main navigation energy.
”How much contribution do I have to make to national energy conservation and emission reduction every year! How many flower growers can I have who work all day for the country and the people Nie Yun is very arrogant to the public.
The small fishing boat ”sea wolf” drifted slowly and leisurely to the mainland. Well, it was indeed ”drifting”. At this speed, it could arrive at
After controlling the direction, Nie Yun lay on the deck of the bow with a squid tail in his mouth and looked at the clouds in the sky. He felt sleepy gradually. He yawned and just wanted to sleep. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the corner of his eye.
Nie Yun was stunned and looked at the bright light. He saw a silver fireball like a meteor falling from the sky in the distant sky. Looking at that direction, he actually rushed to the small fishing boat.
