In the northern part of the Paracel Islands, there is a small island with flat terrain and an altitude of about 5 or 6 meters. On the island, coconut trees, loquat trees, phoenix trees, cannas and other plants are mixed and lush. It has been called "Mu Island" since ancient times. Mu Island

There is a small village in the southeast corner of the island, where there are about 10 families of fishermen who have made a living by fishing for generations. The fishermen all have the surname "Shi", and it is said that they are all descendants of the "Yi King" Shi Dakai. It is said that more than 150 years ago, "

After the "Tianjing Incident" broke out, the Northern King Wei Changhui killed all of Shi Da's family and subordinates in the capital. Fearing that they would be implicated, his tribe fled in panic. Some of them fled by water to Mudao and settled down, fishing all year round.

day.

On this day, the sky was clear, the wind was gentle, and the waves were gentle. A beautiful girl with long hair and a light body, wearing a coarse floral shirt, was laughing and running on the snow-white beach in the south of Mu Island, her white jade feet dancing on the thin

There were a series of shallow footprints on the sand. Behind her, a 7 or 8-year-old boy was chasing her naked buttocks, shouting "Sister Xiuxiu, wait for the mountains, wait for the mountains."

"Yeah." The girl's name is Shi Xiu, the only daughter of Shi Qing, a fisherman in the village, who has just turned 19 this year; Shanshan is the grandson of Shi Baitang, the oldest and most prestigious man in the village, only 7 years old, and his father is Shi

Long, whose mother's name is Guo Xiaozhen, the day before yesterday the couple drove a fishing boat to sell fish in Wenchang City, 200 miles away. Shanshan has been playing with Shi Xiu these days.

"Shanshan, are you ashamed? A man can't outrun a girl." Shi Xiu turned his head and gestured with his fingers on his face as he ran.

"Sister Xiuxiu, Shanshan is still a child. Of course I can't outrun you. But my dad said that as long as I never have a job, I will soon grow into an adult and have more muscles than my dad.

Big, yes, bigger than yours, Sister Xiuxiu." Shanshan said with a cocky mouth.

"Bah, those aren't muscles of mine, Ben Shanshan." Shi Xiu's face heated up and she spat at the child.

Shanshan didn't seem to mind Shi Xiu scolding him for being stupid at all. He sat down on the warm beach, holding his chin with his two small hands, looking at the rippling blue sea, as if muttering to himself: "I don't know what my father is."

When will my mother come back?" After saying that, she turned around and asked, "Sister Xiuxiu, do you think my parents can come back today?"

Shi Xiu, however, stared blankly at the sea in the distance as if he suddenly discovered something, as if she didn't hear him at all.

"Sister Xiuxiu, what's wrong? Talk." Shanshan grabbed her hand and shook it gently.

Shi Xiu suddenly came back to his senses, with a nervous expression on his face, he pushed Shanshan with both hands and shouted: "Quick, go back and call my dad and your grandpa, there seems to be someone in the sea."

Shanshan swung his calves very fast, and within 5 minutes, he called Shi Baitang and Shi Qing, followed by several male fishermen from the village. There were not many women in the village, and the ones who got married did not want to return.

When she came back, the married woman felt that life was too hard, so she secretly climbed onto the boat and ran away while the village was selling fish. After a few years, only two women, Guo Xiaozhen and Shi Xiu, were left in the village.

"Hurry up and fish it up! Be careful, it looks like the person floating over is a dead man. Alas, except for a few officers and soldiers holding a black box to take fingerprints last spring, there has been no stranger on our island for decades." Shi Baitang

Looking at the human body floating 50 meters away on the sea surface, he commanded and said. Although the old man is nearly eighty years old, he has a strong body, full of energy, a voice like a bell, and two bright eyes.

Shi Qing and several male villagers pulled off their coarse cloth waistcoats repeatedly, revealing a body of strong flesh. Their bronze skin shone under the sunlight. After hearing a greeting, several people waded into the sea with a huff and a puff.

Here, everyone grew up in the sea, and the waves at this time were not big, so in less than half a cigarette, they dragged the floating human body to the beach. At first glance, they saw that it was a man in blue.

Clothes and pants, a 30-year-old man with long hair and short beard, his eyes and lips were tightly closed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Shi Xiu pulled Shanshan to the back, and pressed the child's eyes with one hand and said

, "Don't look at the mountains, they're scary."

"Huh? It seems like he's not dead yet."

"Yes, my body is still a little warm."

"Stop thinking blindly, you quickly turn the person over and put him on the stone, and pat the water out of his stomach. Even if he is dead, we still have to do our part." Shi Baitang said loudly, wrapping the cigarette rod in his hand,

He inserted it into his waist and prepared to rescue people with the villagers. At this time, he only heard the sound of "vomit". The man who was lying upright and motionless on the beach suddenly spit out a large mouthful of sea water, and then curled up violently.

The ground started to cough. Shanshan from behind quickly pushed Shi Xiu's hand away and ran over curiously. Everyone was also surprised and shouted: "I'm not dead! Wake up! Wake up!" Shi Xiu heard everyone shouting.

, hurriedly came over to take a look, and even held his heart in his hands and shouted "Lord Buddha bless you".

Shi Qing saw that the man's cough had subsided, so he walked to him and squatted down, gently put his hand on the man's shoulder, and asked kindly: "Brother, what is your name? Where is this place?

Human?"

I saw the man slowly turning sideways on his face that had been soaked pale by the sea water. There was a large bruise on his forehead slightly swollen, his two dull eyes were slightly opened, and he struggled to shake his purple eyes a few times.
