The man from before said: "The bearded man also asked, saying that this oolong is the most unpalatable fish in our fishing village, and the meat is rough. Why are the rich families in the county still fighting for it?"

"Then the rich man told Big Beard that oolong fish is best used to heal wounds after a woman gives birth to a child,"

"Although the effect of stimulating lactation is far inferior to that of crucian carp and carp in the river ditch, this oolong fish is the best for healing wounds. They buy it and use it to stew soup directly, adding a bunch of precious medicinal materials.

As a foil..."

After hearing what this man said, everyone was excited.

Especially Wang Xiaoer was extremely excited.

He thought of his wife at home, who was pregnant with Liujia and was due to give birth in two months.

I still remember that when my wife gave birth to her eldest son, it was difficult to give birth. The child's head was too big to be born.

Finally, she was forced to do nothing, so the midwife took scissors and cut a slit under the wife's lower body before finally giving birth to her eldest son.

During the confinement period, the wound healed very slowly, probably because of poor diet.

His parents died young, and there were no real relatives in the family to help take care of the baby. He went fishing to make a living, and his wife had no rest during confinement.

It took several months for the wound to finally heal, which was really distressing.

Only now did I know from my companions that oolong fish actually has this effect. So, when my wife goes into labor, I must prepare some oolong fish for her to take care of her body.

While Wang Xiaoer was secretly happy, the conversation of his companions could be heard in his ears.

"According to this, next time we go out to the open sea, we will specifically catch such big oolongs and sell them for money!"

"Yes, other fish are not as profitable as this fish!"

Several people quickly divided the whole day's harvest equally. There were about ten kilograms of oolong fish, and each of the five people shared nearly two kilograms.

"Now that I've made a fortune, just these two kilograms can be sold for sixty cents in Tianhai County," someone said.

"I'll take it and sell it tomorrow. Which of you will go with me?" he asked again.

Wang Xiaoer was the first to raise his hand: "I, I, I, I will go with you."

The family's life was tight. In the past, they still had a few acres of thin land to barely make ends meet. In addition, he went out to sea to fish and earn some living money, which could also keep his wife and son fed.

But five years ago, an official document suddenly came down from above. The document was so long that Wang Xiaoer couldn't even remember what it contained.

I just remember that after the official document came out, everyone’s fields were confiscated and the superiors gave me a little subsidy.

Wang Xiaoer clearly remembered that what he received at that time was two hundred coins.

The family was eating, drinking, and eating, so they all relied on him to go out to sea to fish.

This year, I don’t know whether the Dragon King is unhappy or something else. The weather at sea is weird and changeable. Fishing boats out to sea often have accidents. Many experienced fishermen in the village and nearby fishing villages never come back after going to sea.

His wife was worried that he was not allowed to go further to the sea, and he could only make ends meet by fishing for small fish and shrimps in the shallow beaches and bays nearby. His life was extremely difficult.

I went out to sea today, but I actually hid it from my wife.

Because my son’s birthday is tomorrow. The little guy is almost six years old. He is lively, cute, obedient and sensible.

At night, my son dreamed of chewing his fingers, talking in his sleep, and chewing meat and bones.

Wang Xiaoer didn't sleep all night and went out at dawn without telling his wife.

I will take the oolong fish to Tianhai County tomorrow and sell it, and then I will cut two kilograms of pork belly back and let my son satisfy his craving!

By the way, I bought a bottle of vegetable oil ointment for my wife’s hands. My wife’s hands are mended with fishing nets every day, and many places are cracked...

Wang Xiaoer made a lot of calculations in his mind. When he thought of surprising his wife and children, Wang Xiaoer's steps were filled with wind.

Looking ahead at the fishing village shrouded in darkness, there are not many people left in the fishing village, and the low-rise houses are sparse.

His house was at the very top, the first one. Looking at the direction of his house, Wang Xiaoer felt a sense of security in his heart and walked faster.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

When he arrived at the gate of the yard, Wang Xiaoer habitually shouted at the yard where half of the people were standing, pulling at random with wooden stakes and broken fishing nets.

Normally at this time, the light would be on in the kitchen, and my wife would be cooking wild vegetable porridge and frying a few dried fish to serve as side dishes.

The son would definitely be playing alone in the yard. As long as he shouted, the son would definitely put down the small branch in his hand and run towards him.

And his wife, with her heavy belly, would definitely come to the door of the kitchen and watch him enter the yard with a smile.

But this time, Wang Xiaoer shouted twice, but there was no movement in the kitchen. Not only was the kitchen dark, but even the three low rooms were dark.

"Son, come out quickly and see what good things dad has brought for you!"

Wang Xiaoer called his son's name again, but there was still no movement.

Wang Xiaoer was confused. Is it possible that the two of them went to visit other people in the village and haven't come back yet?

He put the fishing net at the door of the courtyard hall, took the wooden bucket with the oolong fish in his hand and went straight to the kitchen.

We need to change the water of this oolong fish quickly, otherwise it will die and we won’t be able to sell it at a good price in Tianhai County tomorrow.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Wang Xiaoer tripped over something, causing him to almost fall.

"What is this?" he muttered, putting the barrel aside.

Then he touched the pot and found the fire folding stick and lit it up. He turned around to see what was on the ground.

"ah!"

Wang Xiao shook his hands and rushed over.

"Son? Son!"

The child in front of him had one side of his face deformed and a big hole on his head, but the blood had solidified.

Wang Xiaoer touched the bottom of his son's nose with trembling fingers, and there was no breath at all.

"son!"

He howled, thought of something, put down his son and hurriedly went to the kitchen to look for it.

Sure enough, he saw his wife at the kitchen door.

The wife was lying on the ground with her upper body clothes pushed up to her chest and her pants down to her heels. There was blood all over her body and face.

His eyes were open, staring fiercely, as if his eyeballs were about to bulge out of their sockets.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Wang Xiaoer fell to the ground, grabbing his hair with both hands, looking at the bodies of his wife and children on the ground, his mind went blank.

Apart from letting out a few wild beast-like desperate roars, he could no longer utter any words.

…

The tragedy of the Wang family quickly shocked the entire fishing village.

The main hall of the Wang family was brightly lit, and Li Zheng and the whole village came after hearing the news.

In the hall, on two door panels, one large and one small, Wang Xiaoer's wife and child were lying upright, two corpses and three lives.

Wang Xiaoer had already fainted several times from crying. Each time, the villagers pinched his acupuncture points and force-fed salt water to wake him up.
