Chapter 269: Sea

The whole family returned to the beach in silence, and after washing their hands, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye's mother patted her chest, and said with lingering fear: "Actually encountered this kind of thing, good thing you men are here, if only I and your younger sister were on this isolated island, that would really be scared to death, and dare not approach."

Ye Huimei also nodded heavily, "Good thing Dad and Third Brother you didn't leave, I would be scared to death just looking at it."

"See if you dare to follow next time?"

"Won't encounter it every day, and don't I still have you and Dad?"

"Not afraid anymore?"

"Already buried, of course not afraid."

Ye Yaodong shook his head, his face was still pale without blood, and he was still stubborn.

At this time, Ye's father took out a few yellow papers with charms drawn on them from his pocket, and touched a box of matches, "Dongzi, help hold it, I'll strike a match, everyone go get rid of evil."

This was when he went to the boat to take incense and sacrifices, he took them together and put them in his pocket, just planning to light two yellow papers after offering incense to get rid of evil energy.

Ye Yaodong helped hold the yellow paper, after Ye's father lit it, he took the yellow paper and circled three times over his head, then circled three times over Ye's mother's head, followed by Ye Huimei, and finally to himself, after circling three times over everyone's head, the yellow paper burned into ashes.

People by the sea are really superstitious.

"Alright."

Ye's mother frowned and said: "Wait until we go back and find someone to do a few days of good deeds (religious service), although already buried, but also 'go out new' a bit, just in case."

"No need, right?" Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, already buried.

"What do you know? Don't fear ten thousand, just fear just in case, although everyone says it's fine after burying, but who can guarantee?"

Ye's father shook his head, "Don't make trouble, forgot the strict crackdown a few years ago?"

Then looked at Ye Huimei, "After going back, go to the pharmacy and buy some pearl powder, eat a little before going to bed at night."

"Dad, I'm not afraid anymore."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Huimei, "Not afraid anymore? Then continue Tao sea?"

The smile on her face stiffened, "Hehe, don't... don't go back directly?"

Ye's mother spoke first, "Go back what? Finally came out once, what time is it now? The sun is still hanging high in the middle of the sky, buried is buried, what does it matter, the yang energy is heavy in broad daylight, don't be afraid, dig a little more..."

Ye Huimei complained in her heart, that's because she didn't see it, so she was fearless.

Ye's father also nodded, "Dig a little more, otherwise coming and going once won't be enough for oil money, and we didn't do anything against our conscience."

"Forget it, if you're afraid, go back, it doesn't matter, dug quite a lot." Ye Yaodong didn't tease her anymore, the little girl is timid.

"Can't go now, the tide has receded to the bottom, the boat is stranded, have to wait until the tide rises in the afternoon to open the boat." Ye's father added.

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at the sea surface, it really receded to the bottom, and looked at his watch, 12 o'clock, the lowest tide of the day, can't go, all busy and forgot.

"Then I'll be with Mom..."

"Don't force it, if you're afraid, just rest on the side."

Ye Huimei shook her head, "It's okay, just a bit panicked when I saw it, now I've recovered and feel nothing."

"Then as you wish, I'll go to the boat to take rice dumplings, still have leftovers steamed at night, still warm in the stove, eat and dig for a while and when the tide rises, go back."

Everyone had no opinion.

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

Passing by and seeing large sea snails attached to the reef, he broke them down and held them in his palm, lowered his head and saw a cat-eye snail, he also picked it up.

The white snail meat on top was completely exposed, after being grabbed by him, it immediately shrank back, he pressed it with his thumb, and a few splashes of water sprayed out.

【To tell the truth, recently I have been using the source-changing app to read books and follow updates, the source-changing switching, the reading tone is many,. huanyuanapp Android and Apple are both available.】

Can pick one after walking a few steps, he picked and squeezed all the way, still a bit fun, decompressing! Relieving mood!

Before he even reached the fishing boat, his arms were already full of various sea snails and cat-eye snails. Searching the sea is actually much more fun than fishing; you pluck them one by one from the rock walls and pick them up one by one on the shallow tidal flats, with even more surprises.

On the way he also saw many bubble holes, he can conclude, underneath is either razor clams or clams, just no time to dig, and can't free his hands to pack for a while.

In the shallow beach between the reef and the reef, and the edge of the stone, he also saw many stone crabs, and stone nine public, a few small octopuses, but due to no container to pack, he skipped them first.

Just going to the boat to take some food, who could think of seeing so many goods on the way? Can only wait to go to the boat to take a bucket, and then pick while walking.

Just before he approached the fishing boat, he saw black creatures crawling all over the fishing boat, and in the sea not far from the fishing boat, there were endless black creatures swimming ashore, he was greatly surprised.

The black creatures looked a bit like small devil fish from afar, but not quite.

He ran forward quickly holding the snails in his arms, after getting closer, he saw clearly what was swimming all over the boat bottom.

"Damn... so many?"

He didn't care to throw the snails in his arms onto the boat first, and shouted directly: "Dad, you all come over, there are husband-and-wife fish here, so many husband-and-wife fish."

After shouting, he waded into the water to the shallow position.

"Damn, why so many suddenly? Actually surrounding the fishing boat?"

He bent down wanting to grab one, but saw these horseshoe crabs were stacked in pairs, actually it has another name called mandarin ducks in the sea.

Because generally under circumstances they appear in pairs of male and female, the larger female will carry the male, the habit is somewhat similar to toadfish...

Another fish that eats soft rice.

He grabbed it and looked, flipped it over, and found he really didn't recognize it wrong, these surrounding the boat body were husband-and-wife fish.

Threw the two stacked together onto the boat, he kicked away a few horseshoe crabs on the side of his feet, before approaching the boat side, threw the snails he was holding in his arms casually onto the boat, and then climbed up to take the bamboo basket.

"What? What thing?" Ye's father and the others were far away, didn't hear very clearly.

"Come over."

Don't think he kicked two feet just now, treated casually, and think this thing is useless and not valuable, this thing is a living fossil in the sea!

Actually from the same era as dinosaurs!

Just now it was blocking the way and annoying, and the number surrounding the boat body was too many, so he treated it so casually.

Ye's father and the others thought something happened, hurriedly ran over, but saw him throwing the bamboo basket under the boat, no accident, instantly all relieved.

After walking closer, they also discovered the abnormality around the fishing boat.

Ye's mother spoke first, "What are those surrounding the boat, that black pile, looking like it's moving?"

"Don't know, all black can't see clearly, walk closer..." Ye's father said while running again.

"Ah? So many husband-and-wife fish." He exclaimed in surprise.

"So many husband-and-wife fish." Ye's mother also repeated in surprise.

Ye Huimei didn't recognize it, asked curiously: "What husband-and-wife fish, this looks gray and dull, seems haven't seen it?"

"This is husband-and-wife fish, actually called horseshoe crab 【hou】, its blood is blue, very special."

Heard it can treat cancer, and can also make them into toxin reagents, because horseshoe crab blood can determine whether there are bacterial toxins that can cause human shock, or even death.

These reasons led to overfishing, the number of horseshoe crabs in later generations is already not much, the price of 1 liter of horseshoe crab blood is close to 100,000 yuan, not so rare now, but it can be considered picked up for nothing.

"Hey... ask so much what, first eat two grass-wrapped dumplings each, and then hurry up and help grab." Ye Yaodong handed them two each, and he also took two to eat.

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

"Why did so many pop up suddenly?" Ye's mother said while eating, dragging a bamboo basket floating on the sea surface to her side.

She actually didn't expect to get an answer, just sighed a few words.

Ye's father also puzzled: "I didn't see any when I came to the boat to take incense earlier, these seem to have just popped up not long ago?"

Ye's mother's chewing mouth paused, looked around suspiciously, and said uncertainly: "This... this is the return..."

"Ah... won't be, right? So fast? Shouldn't be, right? Our sea luck has always been pretty good..." Ye's father also said uncertainly.

"Heard... heard, after burying, it will be smooth sailing, everything will be especially smooth... luck is also especially good..." Ye's mother couldn't help associating it.

Ye Yaodong interrupted his father and mother's mysterious discussion, "Don't think too much, just some husband-and-wife fish, our family's luck has always been pretty good? Since Dad caught a net of large yellow croaker, our family has been having good luck one after another."

"But your eldest brother and second brother, their luck seems very average."

"Maybe their sea luck is not as strong as mine and Dad's, I and Dad have strong sea luck, don't do anything, fish can find the door..."

People by the sea also pay attention to sea luck, there is a saying, people with strong sea luck, always encounter good things when going to sea, this kind of person goes to sea not looking for fish, but fish looking for people.

As for people with poor sea luck, as long as they go to sea, they will encounter unexpected situations.

Maybe the fishing net suddenly broke, maybe the machine broke temporarily, maybe the propeller didn't work, there will always be unexpected situations.

This kind of person is not suitable for going to sea, easy to have accidents. Maybe there's no problem in daily life, but it doesn't work when going to sea, this is the influence of poor sea luck.

Ye's father agreed very much with Ye Yaodong's statement, "I also think so, Dongzi's sea luck is very prosperous, looking at him in other places, he is accomplished nothing, lazy and loose all day without seriousness. But as long as he goes to sea, his sea luck is very strong, often encountering good things during this time."

"Then today's that... also counts as a good thing?" Ye Huimei couldn't help but speak.

"This depends on how you choose, it's a good thing and could also be a bad thing, luck is hard to say, anyway we did a good thing."

Ye Yaodong patted Ye Huimei's head, "Hurry up and work, don't let your head turn around."

"Alright." ===== CHAPTER 270 =====
