Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Gao Ming was walking forward on the wet moss when he suddenly heard the sound of stagnant footsteps behind him.

When he turned around, he saw Xu Wenli standing there in a daze.

He looked forward in the direction Xu Wenli was looking, and saw only a group of aggressive fishermen.

Seven or eight strong fishermen were boarding the boat carrying shiny fishing spears.

His bronze face was filled with murderous intent, as if he was about to go to the battlefield.

The leading man kicked the rope away and the fishing boat quickly left the dock.

"What? Do you know him?" Gao Ming looked at him curiously.

Xu Wenli shook his head.

"You're standing here like an idiot if you don't know me. Your clothes are soaked, aren't you uncomfortable?"

Gao Ming muttered something, and Xu Wenli followed him back to the merchant ship.

Not long after the dolphins drove the two away, Xu Yiyi came back rowing the boat.

The bottom of the boat rubbed against the wet wooden piles, making a dull friction sound.

The deck was filled with blue-shell crabs, king crabs, palm-sized lobsters, many sea urchins covered with thorns, plump abalone, various shellfish, twisting octopuses, and all kinds of strange fish, whose gills were still slightly fluttering.

"Sister Xu is back..."

A little kid with pigtails was quick-eyed and immediately jumped up from the dock, his bare feet making clattering sounds as they stepped on the wet wooden boards.

"I'll go get Brother Anyang and the others to move the goods!"

Before Xu Yiyi could respond, the child had already run away, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Sister Xu brought back a lot of stuff—!"

After a while, seven or eight half-grown children rushed onto the dock, some carrying bamboo baskets, some pushing small carts, and they were talking in a buzzing manner around the boat.

"Wow! Such a big cuttlefish!"

"This abalone is fatter than my palm!"

"Sister Xu, can you teach me how to catch an octopus?"

Xu Yiyi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and picked out a few small crabs from the pile of fish and shared them with the children: "Take them and play with them, don't hold your hands."

Not far away, Xu Wenli and Gao Ming were standing in the shadow of the merchant ship, watching the scene coldly.

"We should go!"

Gao Ming was reminding them that they had already wasted a day, and if they delayed any further, the goods might not be delivered on time.

"Weigh anchor, hoist sail..."

Xu Wenli turned around abruptly, his dark cloak sweeping across the side of the ship.

The deck was immediately filled with responses, the boatmen were busy on the wet wooden boards, and the hemp rope capstan was groaning.

When Xu Anyang arrived at the dock, he happened to see the merchant ship leaving the dock.

"Leaving now? I thought they were going to pester you to agree to go into the sea!"

Xu Anyang came to the boat and muttered something in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

"There are always people out there. Maybe someone can find someone more powerful."

Xu Yiyi smiled and didn't care too much.

After a while, they packed up all the fish they wanted on the boat, and used the remaining miscellaneous items to buy some money.

"Let's go to the store later to eat fish offal!"

Xu Yiyi coaxed a large group of children who gathered around her, and they ran away happily after hearing her words.

"Yi Yi! Your great-grandfather is taking people to fight..."

The salty sea breeze blew her skirt. Xu Yiyi wrung out the water droplets from the ends of her hair and stepped barefoot on the wet bluestone slabs.

The moss felt slippery under her feet. She was about to shake out the wet clothes that were scratched by the reefs in her arms when the green mountains behind her suddenly exploded with a shout.

"What? You didn't call me for this good thing?"

With a clang, Lao Lu dropped the fish in his hand, his straw hat tilted behind his head, and the wine gourd on his waist shook with a sound of pouring wine.

It looks strangely exciting.

Xu Yiyi's fingertips suddenly pinched into his palm.

The wound, which had just turned white after being soaked in sea water, cracked and began to bleed.

"what happened?"

Xu Yiyi was a little puzzled, and only then realized that Xu Anyang felt guilty.

"Do you know something?"

Xu Yiyi immediately pressed the question.

Xu Anyang hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Did he go to find Xu Anyang?" Xu Yiyi immediately understood. This was because of what he said last night.

"Oh! Grandpa said we can't let him go so easily, otherwise he will come to trouble you again and again, so he called a few clansmen early in the morning and planned to go to the county town."

Xu Anyang also felt that his great-grandfather was right.

Otherwise, Xu Guining would always come to cause trouble and treat it with caution, which would only encourage his arrogance.

"Are you talking about that bastard Xu Guining?"

Lao Lu poked his head forward, looking curious.

"That's him!"

Qingshan clapped his hands and said helplessly.

Suddenly, Lao Lu silently prayed for Xu Guining.

Judging from the incense he inhaled the night before, Xu Guining must be already crippled by now if he gets beaten up again.

I don’t know if I can save my life.

Xu Yiyi also thought of this at this time.

I turned my head and looked at Lao Lu, only to see him nod.

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Qingshan looked at the two of them curiously, confused.

"Is the fragrance really that powerful?"

Xu Yiyi's tone was a little uncertain.

"Nonsense! That fragrance is priceless and it wasn't easy for me to get it." Lao Lu choked.

You can question anything, but you can't question his alcohol tolerance and his medication.

That's a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Guining kept coming to his house, he would have been reluctant to light this incense.

"Uncle Qingshan, can you take me to the county town?"

As Xu Yiyi spoke, he stuffed the wet clothes into the fish basket.

"No! Your grandfather is with several young men, so he shouldn't be bullied..."

Qingshan saw that she was anxious and thought she was worried that her great-grandfather was old and would be bullied.

Xu Anyang suddenly thought of something and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"That's right! If you ask me, the one who should be worried is Xu Guining."

Xu Yiyi wiped her face and the moisture on her face had dried.

My face is tense now, and it hurts a little when the wind blows.

"I'm not afraid that Grandpa and the others will suffer!"

Xu Yiyi said this with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"I'm afraid they might go too far and kill someone."

If someone dies, it is no longer a clan matter. It will be reported to the government and the person will be sent to jail.

After hearing this, Qingshan went back silently and untied the tied rope.

"It's time to go!"

Lao Lu nodded, and he also said that he was not allowed to do anything about Guining's current situation.

If you are going to die with just a slight touch, then you will suffer a great loss.

"You guys move the food back first, I'll go bring Grandpa and the others back."

On this side, Qingshan's merchant ship left the shore, and on the other side, the boat of my uncle and his group was sailing on the sea, not far from the county town.

"Uncle Yong and his family should come along to see what good things their son has done..."

Ah Da sat in the cabin and spoke with gritted teeth.

"It's a pity that they've been out to sea for a few days and haven't returned yet."

Agui's uncle remarked.

My uncle remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
