The two of them walked to the entrance of the village together. After passing the gate, they saw that the trench had been filled with silt. The small shrubs in the grove had been washed away and were covered with mud.
Chen Yongwei's heart felt cold, "Brother, the ground cage must be gone."
"It's impossible for everything to be gone." Li Changle took off his sandals and threw them into his backpack, "Lead the way and go to the place where you tied the fishing rope. There will always be fish that slip through the net." "I tied four of them where you tied them last time. The fishing ropes of the Koudi cage net and the others are tied along that row."
As Chen Yongwei talked, he imitated him by throwing his sandals into his backpack, rolled up his trouser legs, and took him to the woods. The places that used to be full of weeds were filled with mud, and once he stepped down, the mud was gone. calf.
The two of them searched separately for a long time on the tree stump. Chen Yongwei pointed to the broken tree, "I remember there was a fishing rope tied to this tree." "If I keep looking, I won't believe it. They were all swept away. Already."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei hunched over and continued to search in the mud that was up to his calves.
The hard work paid off. Li Changle searched for a while and finally found one. He pulled the rope and shouted happily to Chen Yongwei, "Awei, I found one." "Brother, I also found one." Chen Yongwei pulled. He said excitedly while holding a fishing rope.
"Go down and have a look." Li Changle pulled the fishing rope into the water, and the seawater and soft mud instantly reached his knees.
Walking along the fishing rope, I glanced at the seaweed that was probably washed away by the tide with the corner of my eye. I saw something that seemed to be wandering inside. I turned around and saw a few little yellow-brown guys.
"Kaiba?"
Li Changle rubbed his eyes and stepped forward to take a closer look. Sure enough, he said, "Hey, this little guy is a good thing!"
Fortunately, the little guy couldn't swim very fast, so he stepped forward gently, put his hand into the water, and fished it out with a jerk.
There are many species of seahorses, and most of them are spiny seahorses in this area. Their bodies are light yellowish brown, with a series of spots near the tip of their dorsal fin, and the tips of their small spines are black.
This thing swims slowly and can swim upright in the water. The color of its body will also change with the environment. It uses protective coloration and mimicry to defend against enemies and trap food. The female seahorse is responsible for laying eggs, and the male's brood sac is responsible for They are very loyal to their feelings when giving birth to offspring. Once paired, they will stay together forever and never be separated. Li Changle took out his net bag to pack the seahorse and shouted excitedly to Chen Yongwei, "Awei, come here quickly. There is a seahorse!"
"What is a seahorse?" Chen Yongwei hung the fishing rope on a bush and walked towards him with the water flowing. When he saw the seahorse in his hand, he said with disgust,
"When I heard your voice being so excited, I thought it was something good. It turned out to be this thing. There are a lot of aquatic plants and seaweeds. It's a little bit big, and no one can even catch it. What's there to be excited about?"
"Young boy, being small doesn't mean it's bad!" Li Changle gave him an expression that every man would understand, "This is a good thing, it's more nourishing than sand, sea urchins, and oysters."
The water quality is good these days, and traces of seahorses can often be seen among the aquatic plants and seaweeds on the beach. When the environment deteriorates and the water quality deteriorates, it will be difficult to find traces even if you go to a deserted island.
"I don't have a wife, why do I take so many supplements? You keep it for yourself." Chen Yongwei started searching in the seaweed. "Fuck you!" Li Changle slapped him with sea water, "I took it back and dried it in the sun. Sending it to drug stores to sell for money."
Seahorses change color depending on the environment, making it very difficult to find. The two of them spent a long time searching in the seaweed before catching a dozen seahorses.
Chen Yongwei blinked his sore eyes and said, "Brother, I don't want to look anymore. My eyes are cross-eyed. If you want more, one day we can go to the island to look for them. There are many more there than here."
Li Changle thought about how late he slept last night and concentrated on searching. His eyes couldn't stand it. "Okay, I'll go to the island next time to catch it." "Yeah!" Chen Yongwei looked at the fishing rope hanging on his arm, "I found it. Is it caged?"
"Not yet!" Li Changle waved to him, "You should go back and look for it quickly, we have to go to Tuxiaqiao to deliver the goods later!"
He pulled the fishing rope and walked more than ten meters before he found the ground cage. As soon as he tried it, he felt that there was something inside. Sure enough, as soon as he lifted it out of the water, water splashed all over him.
After he lifted the ground cage out of the water, he saw that the fish bag on his side was already full. The most eye-catching thing was a sea bass that was longer than his calf. Li Changle estimated that it weighed 17 or 18 pounds.
Although it is not valuable, it is heavy enough and can be sold for a few yuan.
If you look carefully, there are white crabs, blue crabs, sole skins, yellow croakers, black snappers, and small seabass. "Awei, the one I found is a hit." He shouted excitedly at Chen Yongwei. " Oh~" Chen Yongwei waved to him happily, "The harvest from my net is not bad!" "Hurry up to the shore, pour out the catch, and continue looking for a ground cage."
Li Changle excitedly walked towards the shore while carrying the ground cage net. Suddenly something tripped under his feet and he almost fell into a puddle.
After standing firm, I hooked it with my feet, and a fishing rope was brought out of the water. After pulling it, it didn't pull. There was water splashing on a raised reef on the left. It seemed that the fishing rope had been rolled over there by the waves.
Ah Wei, I found another ground cage.
"Pull the fishing rope over here and go down to collect it later." Chen Yongwei strode towards the shore carrying the ground basket.
"What's in your cage?"
"I saw a mullet, anchovy, mullet, crabs and shrimps."
Li Changle followed him ashore, and when he saw clearly the catch in the fish bag on the other side, a gray and blue sea snake covered in segments appeared in front of him, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Holy shit! What a big gray-blue sea snake!"
"Mom, this thing is very poisonous. If you get bitten by it, you will be in trouble." Chen Yongwei was very happy, "Brother, luckily I listened to you and came to find the cage this morning. If I had come last night and been bitten by it, I would have been in trouble." He’s dead.”
The sea snake is a reptile of the genus Sea Viper in the family Cobraidae. This creature is extremely venomous. It is said that its venom is ten times that of a cobra. It usually lives on the coast of rocks near estuaries.
Snake meat also has the functions of dispelling wind and removing dampness, activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals, and nourishing the body.
Later, it was listed as a second-level protected animal, and those caught privately were given free meals.
Li Changle woke up and looked at the flat-tailed snake excitedly, "Today's Dragon and Phoenix Soup is available."
Chen Yongwei also nodded excitedly, looking at the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake curled up in the fish bag, "Brother, we didn't bring pliers, how can we catch it?"
"This is not easy!" Li Changle carefully poured the fish and crabs in the fish bag here into the basket, lifted the ground cage and put it into the basket, clapped his hands, "That's it, let's have dragon and phoenix soup for lunch."
"The other day, he said that he hadn't eaten dragon and phoenix soup for a long time, and today he had a big poisonous fish." Chen Yongwei happily pulled up the fishing rope, "Brother, I will go into the water to collect it. Can you look for it in the woods over there?"
"Go!" Li Changle found a stick and searched in the mud accumulated under the tree. After searching for more than ten minutes, he finally found another one. Seeing that he had found four, Chen Yongwei felt a little better and looked forward to searching again. A few, and with good luck, the losses can be recovered.
The two worked in the woods for more than two hours, found six ground cages, three crab nets, and harvested more than a dozen blue crabs, as well as stone crabs and orchid crabs. The harvest after the typhoon was indeed good, but it was a pity that they only found these few. Mouth, otherwise it would have been published today.
The two harvested their catch. When Li Changle saw that the sun had risen, he stopped Chen Yongwei who wanted to go into the water to find crab pots. The two brothers picked up their baskets and walked back. Chen Yongwei picked up the kettle and took a few sips, "Brother, They may have started opening oysters when we get back."
Li Changle nodded, "I hope I can open one, otherwise, if I pry it back later, they will definitely make a fuss and not let me open it." "Old people are like this, they don't like to take risks and like to grab what is in front of them. "
Li Changle felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and repeatedly urged him to walk faster, wanting to go home and see what was going on. The two of them walked to the entrance of the alley, panting, when they met Wang Mazi and A Biao coming out of the alley.
When Wang Mazi saw Li Changle and thought of Ah Wu's warning that day to avoid provoking Li Chang Le and not to cause trouble for his brother, he became angry. He rolled his eyes and deliberately said loudly to Ah Biao: "I said it. , I have money here, don’t say you want to own one hundred acres, you can own two hundred acres.”
"My brother-in-law told me that there is someone responsible for the tidal flats, and he wants my family to own 500 acres! His family will own more. In the future, those poor people who are searching for the sea will just watch us make money." "Ah Wang, thank you very much. Already."
Wang Daobiao, who had a shoehorned face, also saw Li Changle and the two of them. Thinking of Wang Mazi's falling out with Li Changle, he pretended not to see them. He happily hugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, When my brother makes money, he will return it to you with interest."
He was obviously reluctant to borrow the contract fee for a hundred acres of tidal flat land just now, but now he saw that A Le offered to borrow an additional hundred acres of contract fee. It seems that he will be able to borrow money from him in the future. Let's talk again when we meet A Le.
"You're looking down on me when you talk to me about interest rates!" Wang Mazi said as he proudly looked back at Li Changle and cursed secretly: "Awu egg, if you fight with me, you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!"
Wang Daobiao said with a grateful face: "Then I won't be polite. When I get to the village committee, I will ask A Dongbo to help me write an IOU."
Li Changle glanced at the two people who were wearing a pair of trousers with their arms crossed, wishing they had contracted all the tidal flats in Shatou Village.
Thinking of the scene at the end of the year when A Biao chased Wang Mazi with a machete and was wearing a pair of women's pants in a panic, the corners of his lips raised and he laughed happily. Chen Yongwei glanced at him and said, "Brother, you are smiling a little sinisterly. !I understand, Wang Mazi must be having an affair with A Biao’s wife?”
