Chapter 270 Sea "ship"

  The whole family went back to the beach silently all the way, and after washing their hands again, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Ye patted her chest, and said with lingering fear: "It's a good thing that you guys are here. If it's just me and your little sister on this isolated island, I'll be scared to death. And dare not go forward."

  Ye Huimei also nodded heavily, "Fortunately, father and third brother didn't leave, I would be scared to death just looking at it."

   "Do you dare to follow me next time?"

   "You won't meet every day, and you and your father are still there?"

   "Are you not afraid?"

   "It's all buried, so of course I'm not afraid."

  Ye Yaodong shook his head, his face was still pale and bloodless, and his mouth was still stiff.

  At this time, Father Ye took out a few pieces of yellow paper with talismans drawn on it from his pocket, and took out a box of matches, "Dongzi, help me get it first, I'll strike a match, everyone go to hell."

   This is when he just boarded the boat to get incense and offerings, put them in his pocket together, and planned to light two pieces of yellow paper after incense to get rid of evil spirits.

Ye Yaodong helped hold the yellow paper. After Ye's father lit it, he took the yellow paper and wrapped it three times around his head, then wrapped it three times around Ye's mother's head, followed by Ye Huimei, and finally came to himself. The yellow paper was burnt to ashes after wrapping three circles on the head of each person.

   Seaside people are really superstitious.

"alright."

  Mother Ye frowned and said: "When I go back, I will find someone to do a few good deeds (dharma deeds) for a few days. Although it has been buried, I will 'new' it, just in case."

   "It's not necessary, is it?" Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, burying everything.

   "What do you know? Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Although they say that it will be fine if buried, but who can guarantee it?"

  Father Ye shook his head, "Don't make trouble, have you forgotten about the crackdown a few years ago?"

   Then she looked at Ye Huimei again, "Go back to the pharmacy to buy some pearl powder, and take some before going to bed at night."

   "Father, I'm not afraid anymore."

  Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Huimei, "Aren't you afraid? Then continue to explore the sea?"

  The smile on her face froze for a moment, "Hehe, no... don't you just go back?"

Ye Mu was the first to speak out, "Why are you going back? I finally came out, what time is it now? The sun is still upright in mid-air, so it doesn't matter if it's buried, the sun is strong in broad daylight , don’t be afraid, dig a little more…”

  Ye Huimei slandered in her heart. It wasn't because she didn't see it that she was fearless.

  Father Ye also nodded, "Let's dig a little more, or we won't be able to pay enough for a trip back and forth, and we haven't done anything wrong."

   "Forget it, go back if you're afraid, it's okay, I dug a lot." But Ye Yaodong stopped teasing her, the little girl was timid.

   "I can't go now. The tide has receded to the bottom and the boat is stranded. I can't sail until the tide rises in the afternoon." Father Ye added.

  Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at the sea surface. He really had retreated to the bottom. He looked at his watch again. It was past 12 o'clock. The tide was at its lowest that day.

   "Then I'll stay with my mother..."

   "Don't force it, if you are afraid, just rest on the sidelines."

  Ye Huimei shook her head, "It's okay, I was a little flustered when I saw it at the time, but now that I've calmed down, I feel nothing."

   "Then it's up to you. I'll go to the boat to get rice dumplings. There are still some leftovers steamed at night, and they are still warm in the stove. After eating, dig for a while and go back when the tide rises."

  Everyone has no opinion.

  The tide has receded to the bottom, and there is no need to climb over the rocks. Ye Yaodong walked directly along the edge of the exposed reef on the beach, and walked towards the direction where the fishing boat was docked.

  Passing by and saw a large conch attached to the reef, he broke it off and held it in the palm of his hand. When he looked down and saw an opal under his feet, he also picked it up.

  The whole white snail meat on it was exposed. After being caught by him, it immediately retracted. He pressed it with his thumb, and several sprays of water sprayed out.

   You can pick up one after walking a few steps, and he will pick it up and squeeze it all the way. It’s a little fun, decompression! Ease the mood!

Before he got to the side of the fishing boat, his arms were already full of all kinds of conch and cat's-eye snails. Scouring the sea is actually much more fun than fishing. Buckle one by one on the stone wall, pick one by one in the shallow water, the surprise is even more pleasant. many.

  He also saw a lot of air bubbles on the road. He can conclude that there are either razor clams or clams underneath.

In the shoal between the reef and the edge of the rock, he saw a lot of stone crabs, Shi Jiugong, and a few small octopuses along the way, but he skipped it because there was no container. up.

   It’s just going to the boat to get some food. Who would have thought that there would be so many goods on the road? I can only go to the boat to get a bucket later, and then pick it up while walking.

   But before he got close to the fishing boat, he saw black creatures crawling around the fishing boat. In the sea not far from the fishing boat, there were still a steady stream of black creatures swimming ashore in the direction of the fishing boat. He was shocked.

  The black creature looks a bit like a little devil fish from a distance, but it doesn't look like it.

  Holding a bunch of snails in his arms, he ran forward quickly. After getting close, he could see clearly what was swimming all over the bottom of the boat.

   "Damn it... so many?"

  He also thought about throwing the snails in his arms onto the boat first, and shouted directly: "Father, you all come here, there are couple fish here, a lot of couple fish."

   After shouting, he walked to the shallow water position with water.

   "Fuck, why are there so many of them all of a sudden? Are they all surrounded by fishing boats?"

  He bent down to grab one, but saw that these horseshoe crabs were stacked in twos. In fact, it has another name called the mandarin duck in the sea.

  Because they usually appear in pairs of male and female, the larger females will carry the male on their backs, and their habits are somewhat similar to those of frogfish...

   Another kind of fish that eats soft rice.

  He grabbed it and looked it over, and found that he was not mistaken, these fishes surrounding the hull were husband and wife fish.

Throwing the two stacked ones in his hand onto the boat, he kicked away a few horseshoe crabs at his feet, approached the side of the boat, threw the snail he held in his arms on the boat casually, and then climbed up to get it. Bamboo basket.

   "What? What?" Father Ye and the others were far away, so they didn't listen very carefully.

   "Come here."

   Don’t think that he just kicked and treated it casually, thinking that this thing is useless and worthless, this thing is a living fossil in the sea!

   It's the same era as dinosaurs!

   Just now, he was just blocking the way in front, and there were too many fishing boats around, so he treated them so casually.

  Father Ye and the others thought something was wrong, so they ran over in a hurry, only to see that he was throwing bamboo baskets under the boat, and nothing happened, so they were immediately relieved.

   After getting a little closer, they all also noticed abnormalities around the fishing boat.

  Ye Mu was the first to speak out, "What's all around the boat? That black pile, it looks like it can move?"

   "I don't know, it's all dark and I can't see clearly, come closer..." Father Ye said and started to run again.

   "Huh? There are so many couple fish." He cried out in surprise.

   "There are so many couples." Mother Ye repeated in surprise.

  Ye Huimei didn't recognize it, and asked curiously: "What kind of husband and wife fish, this one is gray and not autumnal, I don't think I've seen it before?"

   "This is a husband and wife fish, actually called Limulus [hòu], its blood is blue, very special."

  I heard that they can treat cancer, and they can also be made into toxin reagents, because Limulus blood can determine whether there are bacterial toxins that can cause shock or even death.

   It is these reasons that lead to overfishing. The number of horseshoe crabs in later generations is running out, and the price of 1 liter of horseshoe crab blood is close to 100,000 yuan. It is not so rare now, but it is still free.

   "Hey...Why do you ask so many, first eat two straw buns, and then quickly help catch them." Ye Yaodong handed two to each of them, and took two to eat himself.

   After filling his stomach with three or two bites, he threw several bamboo baskets down.

   "Why are there so many popping up all of a sudden?" Mother Ye dragged a bamboo basket floating on the sea to her side while eating.

  In fact, she didn't expect to get an answer, she just murmured a few words with emotion.

  Father Ye also wondered: "I didn't see any when I came to the boat to get incense. These seem to have just appeared not long ago?"

  Mother Ye’s chewing mouth paused, looked around suspiciously, and said uncertainly: "This...is this a reward..."

   "Ah... no way? Is it so fast? Shouldn't it be? Our shipping has always been pretty good..." Father Ye said uncertainly.

   "Listen... I heard that after being buried, the journey will be smooth and smooth, and everything will be very smooth... luck is also very good..." Mother Ye couldn't help but think about it.

  Ye Yaodong interrupted his parents' mysterious discussion, "Don't think too much, it's just a couple fish. Isn't our family's luck always good? Since Dad caught a big yellow croaker, our family has been lucky again and again."

   "But your elder brother and second brother, their luck seems to be very average."

   "Maybe their shipping is not as strong as my father and I. My father and I are two strong shipping companies. We don't do anything, fish can come to our door..."

   Seaside people also pay attention to sea transportation. There is a saying that people with strong sea transportation will always encounter good things when they go to sea. Such people are not looking for fish when they go to sea, but fish looking for people.

  As for those who are poor in sea transportation, as long as they go to sea, they will encounter unexpected situations.

  It may be that the fishing net is suddenly broken, or the machine is temporarily broken, or it may be that the oars cannot be attached. There will always be unexpected situations.

   This kind of person is not suitable for going to sea and is prone to accidents. Maybe there is no problem in daily life, but it is not good to go to sea. This is the impact of poor sea transportation.

Father Ye agrees with Ye Yaodong's statement, "I think so too. Dongzi's sea transportation is very prosperous. From other places, he can't do anything and is lazy all day long. But as soon as he goes to sea, his sea transportation is very strong. Good things often happen during this time.”

   "Then today...is it a good thing?" Ye Huimei couldn't help but make a sound.

   "It depends on how you choose. It may be a good thing or a bad thing. It's hard to say about luck. Anyway, we did a good thing."

  Ye Yaodong patted Ye Huimei on the head, "Hurry up, don't turn your head around."

"All right."
