The devil in the gall bottle
rast was a well-known ship master, who had been with the sea for a living from his grandfather's grandfather until his generation.
rather, by the time of rast, fishing was no longer rast's means of livelihood, but his means of enrichment.
rust now owns a big fishing boat and employs more than a dozen crews.
every time we go out to sea, rast and his crew catch a lot of fish, and when they sell, a lot of money falls into rast's pocket.
rust has a fatal weakness, which is that he has more money than life.
in order to have more wealth, he often resorted to various reasons for withholding the wages of crew members, and often even went out to fish in a storm despite the safety of his life and that of his crew.
rust's wife is named danielle, a beautiful, kind, intelligent woman.
this day, a storm struck the sea.
the greedy rast is determined to take the crew out to fish.
dani told her: "raster, it's too dangerous to go out to fish with such a storm, even if you don't care about your own lives.
who's going to feed their wives and children if something goes wrong?" rusty said, "i don't care how much money i can get in every day.
i pay them, they work for me." the crew members heard that the boat owner was taking them out to fish again in a storm, and they were complaining.
when rust saw the crew not going out to sea, he shouted, "a bunch of cowards who took my money and didn't want to do anything, and who didn't want to go out to the sea, get the fuck out of here, as far as they could go, they were a bunch of shameless people!" the crew had to go out with rast in order to feed their old and young family and to make school attendance affordable.
dani can't help but go out with them.
fishing vessels are further away from the coast and storms at sea are increasing.
splashing waves hit the ship ' s bow, and the whole boat swayed like a drunk.
the wind almost broke the mast and the sails were torn several times.
dani told rust to return home, and rust yelled, "no, we've already suffered losses, we have to drag a few nets to get home!" he ordered the crew to disperse the net immediately, and the crew was forced to disperse the trawls in the face of the storm.
the crew began to gather the net under rast's command, and they stretched the ropes, which were much heavier than usual.
rust smiled and said, "whoever goes out of the water in this weather, we're the only ones who dare, and it's a big gain!" but when all the trawls were pulled out of the water, everyone was so shocked that there was no fish in the trawls, and there was a big black rock in it, which was hundreds of pounds.
rust said, "damn luck, throw it away and spread it again!" when the second net was pulled up, it was also heavy, and rust was sure to say, "isn't this a big rock?"And there's no fish in the face, and there's a big, thick slab in the trawl.
Rust's going crazy and scolding today's bad luck.
Dani once again advised him to return home, when Rusty couldn't hear what he said, and he said to the crew, "Hold on, and then the last one!" When the third one was pulled up, Rast and the crew had little hope.
But when the nets were pulled out of the water, it was discovered that, although there was no fish in the net, there was a large bottle.
Rust's eyes were lit up and the crew was ordered to say, "Be careful, don't break it.
Bring it here!" Rast picked up the bottle from the crew, and then took it in detail: It is a gally copper bottle with beautiful bouquets, which is heavy, sealed with lead in the mouth and stamped with vague words.
And Rust smiled, and said, “No wonder the fish was not caught, God wanted to give me this treasure, which must have been worth a lot of money in this bottle, and it might have been some royal or rich man who had been in a seaw, and the baby was lost to the sea, and I was lucky, Haha ...
At that point, Danielle suddenly went to Rast and took the bottle, and said, “Dear, I remember a story that my grandfather told me when I was a little boy, that a fisherman was fishing by the sea, and that one of the gally copper bottles was found a long time ago, when he opened the lid, and the devil wanted to kill him, and then the fisherman tricked to trick the stupid devil into the bottle, and then immediately put a cap on it into the sea, and it was safe to escape.
This cognac bottle is like the one in the story.
Let's just throw it in the sea.
Rust said to Danielle, "It's just a legend.
Don't take it seriously.
Let's go home and take stock of the treasure in the bottle." Danielle couldn't convince Rast.
She had to give him the bottle。
