MTL - Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982-Chapter 533 Big puddle after low tide
The night was long and the wind was blowing outside the house, but the house was so hot that even the moon blushed and hid in the clouds.
In the early morning of the next day, the couple left their three children behind after dinner, letting them go to school and play independently, and the two left on their own.
Ye Yaodong was carrying a bucket, whistling and walking towards the docking position of the boat. It was a bit windy on the shore, although it was not time to wear a padded jacket, but he was afraid of the strong wind at sea, so he put on a padded jacket when he came out. It's really hot.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed the collar to fan the wind a few times, and turned around to urge, "Hurry up, are you ready? I asked you to put on your hat and scarf when you came out. You have to get to the pier before you wear them. I'm afraid that others will not see you." Look at your pretty face."
Lin Xiuqing ran and wrapped the scarf around her face, wrapped her head together by the way, then put on a hat and stuck it inside so that it would not fall off.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not afraid that it will be weird if people see it when walking on the road? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory all day long, and it's irritating to talk with it. Don't go .”
She stomped her feet angrily, as if she was about to go back, Ye Yaodong hurried up to hold her back, and said with a smile, "Don't, I was wrong, my wife is so pretty, I'd better not cover it up, show her face for everyone to see." What is beauty."
Lin Xiuqing was instantly amused by him, and slapped him twice with a smile, "Hurry up and get on the boat, I'm still talking poorly."
"Isn't it necessary to coax you first? How important is it to coax your wife when you get on the boat? You can only go to bed after coaxing."
Lin Xiuqing didn't hear what he meant, but just stared at him several times, opening her mouth all day long.
A Cai walked over slowly, looked at them with a smile, "You two are going to sea at this time, what are you doing?"
"No reason, she has never been to the sea as a mountain person..."
Lin Xiuqing pinched his waist secretly, Ye Yaodong took a deep breath, and quickly changed his words, "...the ground cage can be put away, I'll go out and put away the ground cage, she's curious about what the sea is like, so I'll take her out for a walk , look at the sea..."
"The relationship between husband and wife is so good."
"Necessary", after finishing speaking, he pulled Lin Xiuqing back, "Let's go, get on the boat, go early and return early."
Lin Xiuqing quickly followed.
After arriving on the boat, Ye Yaodong lifted up his clothes, looked at his waist, "A man's waist is very important, don't like to pinch my waist all day, you can change your arms next time!"
"Still talkative, the boat is about to sail, go early and return early, there are two children at home, they say I won't go, insist on dragging me out."
"Men and women are matched, and the work is not tiring. I am so boring when I go to sea alone."
Ye Yaodong touched his waist, muttered a few words before setting sail.
Lin Xiuqing stood beside him all the time, watching him sail the boat curiously, and then looked left and right to see the few boats docked there that hadn't gone out to sea.
On the sea in the distance, some small wooden boats were scattered and working.
Although she has been married for several years, she has never been to sea. She is either pregnant or breastfeeding a child. She feels quite fresh.
"Adong, where are we going to the isolated island?"
"Look closer. It's better to have a higher terrain, a beach, and not so steep. The tide is slowly receding now. The few islands I dug at the beginning of last year are all okay. I found the treasure, I’ll go and have a look later. I haven’t visited for a year, and the shellfish should have grown quite big, but I don’t know if anyone in the nearby village has patronized.”
"Do you think there will be pearls or something?"
"Pearls are not so easy to form. Only islands that have been visited by no one for a long time are possible. Don't worry about those. It's good to be able to pick up treasures once, and you can find them anywhere. These are all partial wealth, or more positive wealth. a little."
"Zhengcai can only count on you, the head of the family."
"It's easy to say, if you serve me comfortably, everything is yours."
"Damn it!"
Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, he felt that he was not far from the peak of his life, there are old and young, and there are people who arrange everything in daily life, this is also a kind of happiness.
Hadn’t visited the surrounding islands for a whole year, so he picked it at random, planning to go to the island where the sea turtle laid eggs before, and the sea turtle lays eggs twice, which is not as rare as pearls.
An adult sea turtle, no matter where it roams, will return to its "hometown" every year to lay eggs.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the small island getting closer and closer, and felt a little inexplicably excited, "Is it here? Did you dig here last year?"
"How can we all dig here, so that the rain and dew can be evenly soaked, and we can't just catch a sheep and pluck its wool."
"That is, I also dug here."
"Remember the turtle eggs?"
"Remember, it's here?"
"That's right, but it's cold now, and the season for sea turtles to lay eggs has passed. I don't know if there are any unhatched eggs."
He felt a little overwhelmed. It’s been more than November, so it should be gone, but this is his temporary intention to take a look, and he originally planned to dig for shells.
"Hey, how do you drive this way?"
"The water level over there is too shallow. If you can't get too close, you will have to be forced to run aground. You have to swim through it. It's almost winter. It's okay for me to go into the water. You'd better not go into the water."
"Uh-huh."
After docking the boat, Ye Yaodong helped her step on the rocks carefully.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the reef under her feet, and it was densely covered with mussels. She resisted the urge to squat down and buckle.
"There are really so many."
"Well, it's not easy to stand on it, and it's slippery. Go down and dig slowly."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong stepped on the edge and jumped down first, and then came down with her in his arms.
"You can find whatever you want, dig whatever you see, and I'll go around."
"What are you going to do? Are you looking for turtle eggs?"
"No, just look around, you dig yours, don't worry about me, I won't go far, if you have something to shout, I can hear it."
"oh."
Watching him move forward, she obediently put on her gloves, took out her tools, and began to search on the surrounding reefs.
She knows what can be sold for money, what can't be sold for money, and what is delicious, and she plans to find the ones that can be sold first.
Ye Yaodong took a spatula and wandered around along the beach, digging a shovel on the beach from time to time, he aimed at the air bubbles, dug down with a shovel, and dug several holes, all of them were clams, he didn't even bother pick up.
When he walked outside to the mud, what he dug was full of razor clams. He was a little reluctant to pick it up, but he still picked it up and threw it into the sack in his hand. many.
Ye Yaodong looked at the dense air bubbles everywhere on the ground, and knew that there must be razor clams underneath, but he felt that he had just arrived, so there was no need to waste time on it, so he just walked around and planned to wait until he finished walking around. , If there is nothing better, come and dig again.
He took a few steps back very carefully, and walked towards the place where there were no air holes on the side. If he stepped on it directly, he would not be able to see the small hole. If he came to dig it later, he would not be able to identify it.
Seeing a discarded piece of bamboo next to it, he took it and stuck it on the side, which is equivalent to making a mark, so that it will be easy to find when he comes over later.
When I came back last year, all the animals were so excited, howling and digging at the shells on the rocks, I didn’t finish all the surrounding areas, and I changed to another island next time.
Today, he can take a look at the situation first, and then consider what to dig. Anyway, Ah Qing has already dug there with eyes full of stars, and he has a guarantee.
Walking to the side, he saw piles of small piles of sand that looked like **** on the beach in the open space next to him...
He felt that if the two boys saw it here, they would definitely shout excitedly...
I dug with a shovel and found something that looked like a clam worm, but also an earthworm.
It has a round head, many antennae-like things on its body, and a slender tail.
Ye Yaodong muttered, "Sandweed."
This thing is also called sea earthworm, and it looks not much different from earthworms on land.
The local fishermen often say that there are animals in the sea as long as there are animals on the ground, such as seahorses, walruses, sea pigs, sea snakes, sea centipedes... There are earthworms on land, and of course there are sea earthworms in the sea.
Neris worms can also be called sea worms, but the two species are different.
The sandworm will dig a "U"-shaped hole under the beach, lie gracefully in it, with its head and tail facing the two openings, and then swallow the silt containing microorganisms and organic matter from one end, and then discharge the nutrient-free sand from the other end. sediment.
That's right, just lie down and eat the buffet.
It means eating with the mouth and pulling the buttocks at the same time. Pulling while eating, the intestines are straight as ordinary people say.
Those little blobs of sand dunes are what they're made of, and it's the **** of sand worms.
Some like to be neat, so they discharge very regularly, while some are more informal, and they discharge randomly.
Ye Yaodong saw the bubble holes of the razor clams he had just avoided on his right, and the **** of sand gnats on his left. The corners of his mouth twitched. These creatures really like to gather, and each occupies its own territory without interfering with each other.
He was too lazy to dig this kind of thing, he shoveled it casually, he skipped it, and stepped on the **** one by one, seeing the lumps protruding from the beach, he really wanted to squash it, stomp it flat.
As if the beach became flat, he felt comfortable.
It wasn't until he saw stranded jumping fish on the beach that he stopped stepping on the **** and went to pick up the fish first.
Because the tide has just started to recede, the area of the beach is actually not very big. He wandered around the island, and the beach is completely exposed. It is estimated that it will take three or four hours.
While he was shopping, he picked up some stranded small seafood, with various varieties, worthless, and could only reap happiness.
Until he saw a low reef at the 270-degree sharp turn ahead, and there was a big puddle surrounded by those reefs.
This is exposed when the tide just goes out.
