Golden Fishing Village

Sitting on the small wooden boat, Jiang Caoqi asked: "Old Ao, it's not a high tide now. Can we find volcanic mud?"

Ao Muyang said: "Don't be stupid, it's still early before the low tide. Besides, in the past, when the surrounding villages built houses, they would dig volcanic mud. Do you think they waited until the low tide?"

"How to do it?" Jiang Caoqi asked humbly.

Ao Muyang said: "The mud volcanoes here have been erupting for hundreds of years. The mud deposited on the seabed is all volcanic mud. All you need to do is dive and dig."

The Moon Sea is also called turbid water. It is easy to find. The large sea water is turbid from top to bottom. The water is mixed with a lot of sediment and the visibility is very poor.

After entering the turbid water area, Ao Muyang was even more careful when paddling the wooden boat. There were many reefs here, and he couldn't see the underwater situation clearly, so he could not tell when he would hit it.

The topography of the seabed is complex, and the water is full of mud and sand, with no fish, shrimps or crabs to survive. Mud and natural gas erupt from time to time, making the sea area highly dangerous. Many reasons combine to make this sea area a restricted area.

The boat floated in the turbid water for a while, and finally hit a rock.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang stretched out the oar to test it.

Jiang Caoqi asked: "What are you trying?"

Ao Mudong, who came to help, smiled and said, "Try to see if you can touch a big girl."

Jiang Caoqi laughed in unison, then looked at him as if he were a fool.

Ao Mudong looked annoyed at him, so he stopped making vulgar jokes and said honestly: "Try the faucet to see if there is a spout. Don't accidentally jump down and step into the spout of the mud volcano, it will be lively." "

Ao Muyang circled the small wooden boat. After trying it, he said: "Okay, there is nothing wrong with the bottom of the sea. I will go down and have a look. You guys pack up your tools and get ready to start."

He only wore a pair of swimming trunks and jumped into the water. His underwater vision failed to show any wonders this time. It looked turbid from both the underwater and the surface, but relatively speaking, the visibility was better underwater. Some.

The wooden boat was located in a reef, and the water was less than half a meter deep. His feet felt soft on the seabed, and it was obvious that a lot of mud had been deposited on the seabed.

After countless years of erosion at the bottom of the mud volcano, there are many criss-crossing hills and valleys on the sea floor. The reefs are exposed and have clear edges and corners, like a series of hills.

The largest amount of volcanic mud was deposited between the rocks. Ao Muyang first dived into the water to find out the topography of the nearby seafloor, and then stood up and told the few people who came to help where they could and could not go.

There were no living things in the surrounding water, so after checking the terrain, he had no interest in diving anymore. He grabbed a bamboo basket and started fishing for volcanic mud.

He used a shovel to shovel the volcanic mud and seawater into the bamboo basket. When the bamboo basket was full, he lifted the bamboo basket out of the water and poured it into the wooden boat.

There are many gaps in the bamboo basket. When it is lifted out of the water, seawater and muddy water will flow out along the gaps. What ends up being poured into the wooden boat is volcanic mud.

The five people worked quickly in the shallow water, and soon a lot of volcanic mud accumulated in the wooden boat.

Ao Muyang picked up another bamboo basket of volcanic mud. He lifted it out of the water and drained it. At this time, he found Jiang Caoqi standing motionless in the water, his eyes blank and his face full of sadness.

Seeing this, he asked: "Lao Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing his voice, Jiang Caoqi's body shook. Ao Muyang asked again before he responded. He turned around and waved his hands: "Oh, it's nothing, nothing. I just felt a little... um, Some of that.”

"Which one?" Ao Muyang asked with concern, "I think you are a little in a trance."

Jiang Caoqi nodded and said: "Yes, I am in a trance. Look around here, there is a vast ocean. We are standing here, do you understand what I mean? Thinking about the long and long time of heaven and earth, I shed tears alone."

Having said this, he continued to look into the distance, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

Ao Muyang understood what he meant and how he felt.

Sitting on the sea and standing on the sea are completely different. Standing in the sea and looking around at the vast and flat ocean is like standing in the universe. At this time, a person can clearly realize his own insignificance.

Jiang Caoqi was a little obsessed with this feeling. He walked slowly on the rocks, his eyes scanning around in a daze, and suddenly he staggered and fell into the water.

Ao Daguo, who was next to him, hurriedly went over to help him up and said with a smile: "Why did you drink it, buddy? Are you drunk?"

Jiang Caoqi smiled bitterly and said, "I felt dizzy just now."

Ao Muyang said: "You should go back to the ship first. This is called infinity dizziness. Don't keep looking at the sea. The cerebellar nerves will be numb, causing you to experience abnormal balance in an instant."

They dug a boatful of volcanic mud and drove their fishing boat back home.

The old house has four walls in total. The house is built in the yard. Because the yard is large, the four walls are very long. It is not easy to repair them all. There is a huge demand for volcanic mud.

Ao Muyang hired about ten people to help repair the walls of the old house. Every morning, the speedboat would drag a wooden boat to dig out volcanic mud. After returning, he would mix sand, gravel, salt and clay to strengthen the walls.

After working for a full week, the walls were almost completely covered with paste.

Jiang Caoqi gave him an idea and asked him to plant grass on the earth wall and use the grass roots to fix the earth, which could block the wind and rain.

This was a good idea. Ao Muyang planted some small weeds on it while the soil was still wet. These grasses are cold and drought tolerant and have strong vitality.

The wall was almost repaired, and Lu Wuyi suddenly came back.

Jiang Caoqi and he had similar interests, and they were so happy when they met that they hugged each other passionately.

After having fun with Jiang Caoqi, Lu Wuyi asked Ao Muyang again: "Brother-in-law, are you happy to see me back?"

Ao Muyang forced a smile and said: "Happy, I am happy when your sister is happy. But you came back at a coincidence, we just finished the work."

Lu Wuyi was dissatisfied and said: "Brother-in-law, are you doubting me? I tell you, I didn't come back on time. I came back this time for something. Brother Hu arranged a customer to bring him here, otherwise I couldn't come back."

Ao Muyang asked: "Where is the customer?"

"He is entertaining him at home."

He didn't lie. After Ao Muyang returned home, there was indeed a wealthy man waiting for him.

Lu Wuyi introduced them. The customer was Qin Wei, a seafood merchant from Hong Kong.

"Mr. Qin has a lot of food in Hong Kong. Not only does he control the seafood purchasing channels of those big hotels, but even many celebrities contact him directly when they need seafood." Lu Wuyi spoke well of Qin Wei.

Qin Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is exaggerating. It's all because of my friends. But I do know some celebrity friends. Mr. Ao, do you have any favorite Hong Kong stars? Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Louis Koo, Andy Lau, Eason, we are all friends."
