golden fishing village

Chapter 16 Something Happened

Fang Ming immediately jumped up from the reef, and jumped to the shore with a light leap.He rushed to Uncle Niu two steps at a time, and said hurriedly, "Uncle Niu, what's wrong with my parents?"

Uncle Niu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Amin, how can you jump so far in one jump?"

The reef was at least three meters from the shore.Just now Fang Ming leaped from the rock to the shore effortlessly.

Fang Ming ignored the explanation and asked, "Where are my parents?"

Only then did Uncle Niu react.He said quickly: "Don't worry, Amin. Your parents are at the pier now. But your father was injured a little bit. Your family's fishing boat also broke down."

"What! My dad was injured?"

Fang Ming hurriedly ran towards the pier.He was so fast that he disappeared after a while.

Uncle Niu wiped his eyes vigorously, and muttered, "This guy, A Ming, runs so fast? Could it be Liu Xiang possessed?"

……

……

Two minutes later, Fang Ming had already run all the way to the pier. After sprinting down a distance of more than 2 meters, Fang Ming's face was not red and his heart was beating, just like walking in the yard.

A group of people surrounded the pier in darkness.

Fang Jinxin's weak voice came from the crowd: "I knew I would not go so far. Not to mention the broken fishing net, even people were injured."

Everyone offered words of comfort.

"Dad, mom."

Fang Ming hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.Among the crowd, Fang Jinxin was resting on a bucket.His right hand was simply fixed by a hemp rope and hung around his neck.There is also a bloody wound faintly visible under the clothes.

Not far away is their own fishing boat.The rope that hangs the fishing net from the rudder of the fishing boat has broken.The original thick fishing net has disappeared, only half of the rope is left hanging on it.

Miao Cuihua is instructing everyone to move things off the fishing boat.

"Amin."

After seeing Fang Ming, Fang Jinxin sighed deeply again.He said to Fang Ming: "I'm not lucky today. I didn't catch any fish, and even broke the fishing nets of the fishing boat."

Fang Ming shook his head quickly: "Dad, are you injured?"

Fang Jinxin smiled: "It's okay, it's just a small injury. Hurry up and help your mother clean up, let's go home."

Uncle Niu hurriedly said, "We'll just clean it up. Ah Ming, hurry up and take your dad back to rest and treat the wound."

"That's right. Let us get these things."

Miao Cuihua was also "thrusted" off the fishing boat, and the three of them walked home.As soon as she got home, Aunt Niu came to the door with a large bowl of noodles: "Have you eaten yet? This is the seafood noodle I just made. The skill is not as good as that of A Ming, so you will just eat it."

Fang Ming said quickly, "Auntie, I'm cooking."

Aunt Niu said unhappily: "Do you dislike me? Your father is injured and needs to eat something good. I still have some cow bones at my place, and I will send them later."

With that said, Aunt Niu couldn't help but put down the noodles and turned to leave.

After a while, Uncle Abu also walked into the yard carrying a medicine box.He opened the box and said with a smile: "I brought the alcohol and gauze. These are the goods I just bought a few days ago. I promise they haven't expired."

Fang Jinxin quickly said to A Ming: "Get the money quickly."

Uncle Abu stared: "Who are you scolding Jinxin! If you dare to pay, I will take the things back."

Fang Ming took the medicine box and said with a smile, "Dad, Uncle Abu is not an outsider."

"That's right. There are no outsiders on Moon Island."

Uncle Abu smiled and said, "I just saw the village head sailing out to pick up the doctor. Don't worry about Jinxin, the doctor will arrive within an hour at most."

"That's good."

Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.Moon Island is a small island without a doctor.If the villagers were injured, they had to go to Yushan Island, more than ten kilometers away.If the patient is inconvenient, he has to sail the boat to fetch the doctor himself.

The village head must have seen that Fang Jinxin was injured, so he went out to pick up the doctor first.

Uncle Abu said to Fangming: "Amin, hurry up and eat first. Don't worry when entering Xinxin, we will take care of your fishing boat."

With that said, Uncle Abu also left the house straight away.

"Mom and Dad, let's eat first."

Fang Ming also brought out the meals he had prepared.He filled a bowl of delicious seafood noodles and handed it to Fang Jinxin.

Fang Jinxin just picked up the chopsticks, but soon he sighed heavily and put the chopsticks down.He said angrily: "This time the fishing net was dragged away. Tens of thousands of dollars were lost."

Miao Xiuhua also looked sad.

Fishing nets are the lifeblood of fishermen.

As the old saying goes, "Three days of fishing, two days of drying the net", this actually shows that fishermen attach great importance to fishing nets.A good fishing net can greatly improve fishing efficiency.Moreover, there are iron pendants on the fishing net and motors on the ropes, and the price is really not cheap.

The fishing net that Fang Ming's family was dragged away was a 30x30 large net, woven with 12 ropes.Counting the motor and iron pendant, the cost price will be tens of thousands of dollars.

This is half a year's income for the family!

Seeing this, Fang Ming comforted him, "When the fishing net is gone, it will be gone. The most important thing is that people are fine. Parents, eat first."

Fang Jinxin looked at Fang Ming, and said seriously, "Ah Ming, that's why I don't let you become a fisherman. Fishermen depend on the sky and the sea for their food. If you're unlucky, your job will be for nothing in a few months. You plan tonight Let me go to the city tomorrow to find a job."

With that said, Fang Jinxin picked up the noodles and started to eat them.

Fang Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, actually fishermen can make money too. I made money today..."

"Amin."

Miao Xiuhua shook her head slightly at Fang Ming, signaling him not to speak.

She was afraid that Fang Ming's words would make Fang Jinxin angry again.

Only then did Fang Ming give a wry smile, and buried himself in his meal.

Half an hour later, the three of them finished their meals.Fang Ming quickly cleaned up the dishes, and then used alcohol to disinfect Fang Jin's new wound.Fang Jinxin's arm was red and swollen, and his bones were slightly misaligned.It looks like it should be broken.In addition, there was a wound of about [-] centimeters on his abdomen.Judging from the shape of the wound, it is estimated that it was torn by a fishing net dragline.

Sure enough, Miao Xiuhua scolded: "If the fishing net is gone, it will be gone. You have to go into the water to fish. If you are not lucky, you will be entangled in the fishing net and unable to get up."

Fang Jinxin said angrily: "There are fishing nets worth tens of thousands of dollars. If you say you don't have them, they will be gone. I really don't want to go down and have a look."

The two fell silent again.If the fishing net is lost, it means that there will be no way to go to sea for ten days and a half months.

If you can't go to sea, you have no income.

Not only is there no income, but the price of fishing nets is also subsidized.Tens of thousands of dollars is not a small amount.

At this moment, Chen Weimin coughed at the door.Fang Ming rushed up to greet him, but saw that Chen Weimin was alone in the yard.

Fang Ming quickly asked: "Village chief, where is the doctor? Uncle Abu said you went out to ask for a doctor."

Chen Weimin sighed, and said, "I went. But Doctor Liu from Yushan Island went out to study. He hasn't been on the island these days."
