The story takes place in the town of Tianlang during the Qing Dynasty.
Just as the so-called patron eats the mountain, relying on the water to draft water, fishermen have been fishing for a living for generations. Xiaotian's home is no exception, and it also makes a living from fishing.
On this day, fisherman Xiaotian went to the sea to fish as usual, and although the weather today is very good, you will see Xiaotian's face worried; because his family has not had any fish in the account for several days, if he can't catch fish, first, he has no food source, and second, there is no income without fish to sell.
"You must catch a fish today, or it will be miserable." Xiao Tian said with a piercing gaze.
After a while, Xiaotian drove the fishing boat into the sea. Although the weather is very good, it is still full of dangers, extremely dangerous, and in contrast to the beautiful weather.
But Xiaotian did not have time to take care of these things, because these were commonplace for fishermen, not to mention the situations that were more dangerous than today, since the fishermen had done this industry, even if they would be afraid in their hearts, but for the sake of life, they would also put life and death aside.
"God forbid, you must catch a fish today."
After arriving at the predetermined location, Xiaotian folded his hands and put down the fishing net, and when it was time to collect the net, Xiaotian put the net away. When recycling the net, Xiaotian felt heavy, and his heart was very excited, thinking that there must be a lot of fish this time.
Things went as he expected, and there were a lot of fish this time. When Xiao Tian collected the net, in the process of pulling the net back, the fish jumped and jumped, as if to declare that he was very successful in this fishing. And Xiao Tian's face also showed a smile that had not been seen for a long time.
"Great, finally saved."
After pulling these caught fish home, Xiaotian prepared a little fish for himself, and then took all the other fish to the market to sell. The sale was also particularly smooth, and the money earned was also particularly large, a dozen or so. Xiao Tian had never seen so much money in his life, which made him happy.
So Xiaotian continued to work hard, and in order to make more money, he immediately went fishing the next day after selling good fish.
Only this time, in addition to catching normal fish, I also caught the body of the head fish. After Xiaotian disposed of the fish, he put the contents of the head fish in his room.
"What is this?" How can there be a human head and a fish body? But it's pretty pretty. ”
Xiao Tian looked at this beautiful "strange fish" and blushed. However, Xiao Tian's mind suddenly remembered that his fathers had said before that there was something called a mermaid living in the sea, and if he could meet it, then in this life, he would be transported. So Xiao Tian immediately went to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, looking for books that recorded this kind of thing, turning them over and over, and finally let him find them.
Xiao Tian looked at the fish he caught, and looked at the pictures recorded in the book, which were completely consistent, and what Xiao Tian caught was a mermaid. This made Xiao Tian excited, and he leaned over to look at the mermaid's appearance carefully, and his face instantly turned red. After a while, the mermaid's fish body turned into a human,000 feet, and its tail became its feet, looking like a normal person.
This surprised Xiao Tian, he had never seen such a scene before, afraid that if he told others, others would not believe what he said.
Then again, this mermaid is really good-looking, which makes Xiaotian's heart move.
"At this time, there is no one else, and others do not know that I caught her today, so no matter how I deal with her, no one knows." Xiao Tian had already moved his mind when he thought like this.
So Xiaotian blew out the kerosene lamp early, and suddenly the room was dark. The little heavenly beast was so mad that he wanted to defile the mermaid, and when he started to move, the mermaid woke up and struggled to break free of Xiaotian's clutches.
"Who are you?" What are you doing? Help me. The mermaid cried out loudly.
"Stop shouting, no one will come to your rescue." I haven't been close to a woman in a long time. ”
But the mermaid still broke free of The Little Heaven's clutches, limped to the seashore, jumped, and disappeared into the sea.
"How could I, a big man, let her run away?" Xiao Tian chased out and said. "I'll get you back the next day."
So the next day, Xiao Tian went fishing again, but no matter how hard he tried, this time there were no more fish caught by him, not a single fish. The result was the same for the next few days.
"Why is that? If the fisherman doesn't catch the fish, doesn't he have to starve to death? Xiao Tian said with chagrin.
"Do you know what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly a very sweet voice echoed in Xiaotian's ears.
"Who are you?" Why is this question being asked of me. Xiao Tian replied.
"I'm the mermaid you caught last time, and you want to defile." I was originally the god of this sea, in order to bless the lives of the fishermen on this side and to enable the fishermen to catch fish. Only last time, when I was patrolling the sea, I didn't pay attention to being caught by you, and I didn't expect you to be beastly, which really made me chill. I have to punish you, I can't catch a fish. ”
It turned out that the recent inability to catch fish was the reason, and I thought that mermaids were to protect the safety of their fishermen, and also let the fishermen catch fish to maintain their lives, and they actually did such dirty things, regretting it.
"I was wrong, it was a hot brain, it was done under irrational circumstances, please spare me this time." Xiao Tian said remorsefully.
"Remembering that you do not know, and sincerely repenting, he spares you." Go fishing tomorrow. ”
The next day, Xiaotian went fishing, and sure enough, he caught fish again.
"Thank you to the God who gave us fishermen protection, thank you!" Xiao Tian said reverently.
Since then, Xiaotian has been fishing diligently, changing his past mistakes, not thinking about that aspect, and living a very free life.
