Chapter 157: Curious and want to see (500 monthly tickets added in advance)
Ye Yaodong helped them move all the goods onto the boat one by one, placed them evenly, and then wiped his sweat.
A-Zheng lifted his clothes, turned his head to look at the red scratches on his back, and the patches of blue and purple.
"Don't come to this kind of island next time. I also fell once, Fatty fell twice, it's too dangerous. Fortunately, my head didn't hit the rock, otherwise, I would really have lost my life."
Fatty also lifted his sleeves, revealing his arms full of scratches, blew on them, and put them down.
"No wonder the TV says that danger is accompanied by opportunity. I worked too hard this time, fortunately, the harvest is not small."
Ye Huimei exclaimed: "You all fell? So serious?"
Fatty put down his sleeves and said seriously for once: "Fortunately, it's not considered serious. It's just suggested not to come to such a steep small island next time. Fortunately, you little girl didn't climb up and down, otherwise, it would be terrible if you fell."
Ye Huimei couldn't help but be glad that she listened to her Third Brother and didn't climb up and down. It was just that her feet had been soaking in seawater all the time, and they were all wrinkled.
Ye Yaodong was also surprised. They walked to the east, and he walked to the west. He only heard a little movement from time to time, didn't expect them to fall too.
"Then be careful next time, go home early and apply some tea oil."
Xiao Xiao said happily, "It's not serious, it's fine, it'll be better in a few days. The harvest today is quite good. If we went to another island, we might not have had today's harvest. The three of us found a large water pit with over 30 stone-shell fish inside, which we can split quite a bit. We also dug up a bit of those sea chicken feet you mentioned."
"Then pick them out when you get home. A-Cai doesn't collect this. Hongsheng's young master knows the goods better. Send it to the town."
The three of them were surprised. "Is that so? No wonder we don't recognize it."
"Third Brother, I also found a little."
"Mm, pick them out when you get home. Let's go, go home first, have to go to the town later."
Originally, he wanted to collect a ground cage on the way back, but time was tight now. After approaching the shore, he still had to send the goods to the town, so he simply left them and collected them tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he said to the three people on the boat next to him: "I think, should we send all the goods to Hongsheng together? Anyway, have to go once, see if the price will be higher there? If the price is not high, it's the same to bring it back for A-Cai to collect."
"That works, listen to you. You've dealt with them, definitely more familiar than us." Fatty said indifferently.
Xiao Xiao also nodded in agreement, "It also saves us from going ashore now. Everyone seeing our boat full of shellfish and many stone-shell fish would definitely guess that we went to the isolated island to scavenge a large amount of stone-shell fish. This stuff is expensive, and once the news spreads, more people will go to the isolated island to scavenge. The stone-shell fish aren't exposed, and the villagers don't care much about those shellfish."
"Yes, yes, better to cover it up. Fatty, let's take off our tops, go shirtless and expose the wounds. This way, when people see us carrying sacks of shellfish ashore, they have to weigh whether they can afford to fall." A-Zheng also said cunningly.
After speaking, he hurriedly took off his top first.
"Eh~ it's perfect for covering the water bucket, so no one will know there are stone-shell fish in the bucket," Ye Huimei also said happily.
"Yes, yes—"
Ye Yaodong also took off his top and covered his bucket, took off his hat, and covered his little sister's water bucket to block it.
His friends are really witty.
In the past few months, their family has been in the limelight enough. If they can be a little more low-key, be a little more low-key.
Otherwise, after these fish are sold, it will be several hundred yuan in the account again. The villagers will be jealous. Those with boats will go to the deserted island to scour the sea every three days. It might be difficult for them to find good things when they scour the sea in the future.
After covering the valuable things, they approached the shore.
It was only a little past one in the afternoon. The fishing boats that went out hadn't come in yet, and there weren't many people at the pier at this time.
Ye Yaodong let them watch the boat and goods, and he ran back to the old house to push a flatbed cart.
Fearing to delay time, he ran very fast.
When he returned to the pier, the three were sitting on the boat smoking leisurely...
"Son of a bitch... I ran until I was sweating, and you guys are so leisurely."
If he had known, he would have let them borrow a flatbed cart!
"Aha, isn't this just bored waiting?"
The three of them flicked their fingers and flicked the cigarettes directly into the sea.
"Hurry up and move, you guys push later!"
"Got it, narrow-minded..."
The three of them carried a sack each and walked to the shore. The scattered villagers around the pier had long been curious and wanted to ask, but they hadn't come ashore, so they were embarrassed.
At this moment, the nosy ones seized the opportunity and went up directly. "What is this you guys have, why so many in sacks?"
None of the few people paid attention. Each moved three times and moved them onto the flatbed cart. Ye Yaodong covered the buckets tightly and placed them on the flatbed cart. When that person wanted to lift them to see, he slapped the back of his hand directly without politeness.
"Don't lift randomly!"
"What is so mysterious, isn't it just some shells? Everyone can see it, and you won't let people see..."
The people in the village are just so unparticular, their curiosity is clearly written on their faces and displayed in their actions.
"You know, why ask?" After speaking, seeing Ye Huimei move the other buckets onto the cart, he urged again, "Let's go, have to be busy for a while after pushing home."
"Not valuable things, can't even look at it, and still cover cover cover..."
"That bucket doesn't have clothes to cover, right? Already saw it's some fish, shrimp, and stone crabs that aren't worth anything..."
Fatty retorted impolitely: "You already said they aren't worth anything, then what else is there to look at?"
Xiao Xiao also said: "Things that aren't worth anything aren't so easy to pick up either. Everyone fell from the reef and got hurt, didn't you see? We are in a hurry to go back, you guys move aside... go go go..."
After the flatbed cart was pushed far away, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but say again: "There really are no secrets in the village, everything curious must be looked at, must join in."
"It was like this originally, strangers entering the village, people in our village can ask them from the east end of the village to the west end of the village."
"Send my sister home first, then pass by your place, go around once, and then I will push my things home. After you get home, pick faster, I'll pick you up after I finish picking."
"Got it."
After returning to the old house, Ye Mu saw Ye Huimei return with excitement and felt relieved.
"What did you pick? Can I follow you next time?"
Looking at the full cart of things, Ye Mu was moved, reaching out to lift the clothes covering the buckets. Ye Huimei hurriedly stopped her.
"Wait, what are you in such a hurry for, let's take them in first."
"Ah? Oh."
Ye Mu didn't understand, but still carried the buckets into the house first.
After moving the two sacks of shelled things to the back door, he sent Fatty and the others home one after another, and then he pushed the flatbed cart back.
Lin Xiuqing was idle and sat at the doorway weaving nets, waiting for him to return. Seeing him pushing the flatbed cart, she greeted him happily.
"Returned so early today, didn't you say you went to scour the sea?"
"That island tide receded, the water level didn't recede very low, and it rose again quickly, so we came back early."
Ye Eldest Sister-in-law and Ye Er Sister-in-law were also sitting at the doorway weaving nets. Today Ye Erge was at home, and they all walked up curiously.
"A-Dong got so many goods back again?"
"Is it still mussels and those snails?"
"About that," he said while carrying the two water buckets into the house. One bucket was stone-shell fish, and the other was the fish, shrimp, and crabs he had picked up.
Ye Erge helped him carry the sack without saying a word. "Is it going to the back, Dongzi?"
"Yes."
After all five sacks were moved to the back door, Ye Yaodong said to the two sisters-in-law: "You guys see what you want, pack it yourself."
Ye Eldest Sister-in-law nodded with a smile. "Hey, okay, let's help sort it out first."
Ye Er Sister-in-law also rarely smiled at him and spoke. "There are quite a lot of goods on the nearby small islands, can you take us with you next time?"
"Ah?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at his Ye Ersao, pointing to his elbow to show her.
"Are you sure? Want to go, it's fine to take you, it's just that the rocks on the deserted island are slippery and steep, and there are many sharp shelled things on them. If you fall, I won't be responsible. Fatty fell from the reef twice today, and A-Zheng's back is full of blood stripes."
"Ah? So dangerous?" The two sisters-in-law immediately retreated a bit.
Lin Xiuqing nervously grabbed his elbow and looked at it before seeing the wound. If he hadn't said it, she wouldn't have noticed.
"Why are you so careless? I'll go get you some tea oil to apply."
Ye Yaodong grabbed her hand. "It's fine, a small wound. This bag below is gooseneck barnacles, let's dump the shellfish on top first, pick out the gooseneck barnacles, I'm in a hurry to send them to the town later."
"Not in a hurry for this moment..."
Until all the wounds she could see on his body were applied with tea oil, Lin Xiuqing went to sort the goods.
Ye Yaodong was actually very satisfied in his heart. After his efforts in the past few months, his ranking in her heart was definitely high, but he estimated that it should still be less than the two stinky boys.
