Chapter 293: Unexpected Discovery

~8 min read 1,571 words

After dragging the fish from the first net, he found that there were no good goods and special goods, so Ye Yaodong didn't care, handed it to his dad to organize, and he drove the boat to the reef.

At this time, the sky was already white with fish belly, and the scene on the sea was clearly visible without turning on the headlight.

That reef did indeed rise again.

His mood was slightly excited. Could it be that it just popped out and was rising?

He slowly drove the boat closer, carefully avoiding the boat hitting the reef.

After approaching, there were indeed many abalones and sea snails attached to the reef, clearly visible.

It's just that the height is not high, the highest position of the reef popping out of the water is only about one meter, most of them are still under the water, and there are no small green dragons around.

"Dad, come and see, is this reef rising or sinking?" He couldn't see clearly and couldn't be sure.

Ye Father hurriedly dropped the fish he was busy with, ran to the bow of the boat and watched carefully for a while, "Why do I see no movement?"

"I think so too."

"The area of the reef popping out of the water is too small, and there is no way to step on it around, those abalones and sea snails are not easy to dig."

Ye Yaodong also frowned. There was indeed no place to step on it. Last time the reef also sank to about this position, they gave up and got on the boat in advance.

"Otherwise, let's wait here and see, see if it will move?" Ye Father suggested, the value of abalone is too great, and he is reluctant to give up.

What if it sinks directly?

Ye Yaodong thought about it and pondered for a while. "Dad, let's tie the hook to the bamboo pole, we hold the bamboo pole on the boat to hook, and use the hand net to catch it."

"Abalone and sea snails are big, and the suction is quite strong, maybe it's not easy to hook."

"Try it, it's a bit laborious, just hook as many as you can."

Hooks and bamboo poles are ready-made on the boat, that is, they have to be tied tightly, and any looseness will be crooked and not easy to hook.

The father and son worked together, one holding a hand net, one holding a long hook, Ye Yaodong hooked hard, but didn't expect to successfully flip a fat abalone.

"Success!"

The two instantly increased their confidence. Although it was a bit laborious, as long as it could be dug down, it was a success.

Ye Yaodong tried to hook the sea snail again, but didn't succeed for a long time. The meat area on the top of the head was too large, and the adsorption was too tight.

In fact, the adsorption of abalone is also amazing. They mostly live on deep-water stones, and those stones are mostly cliff types, and the sea current is rapid.

When the food brought by the sea current flows past the abalone on the cliff, the abalone must ensure that it is not rolled away by the sea current to capture food.

So it must be adsorbed on the reef with a larger adsorption area, which is the soft foot of the abalone. If a person wants to uncover it, he must pay a greater effort.

So when catching abalone, you can only take it by surprise, and shovel it down or flip it over with lightning speed, otherwise even if you smash its shell, don't think about taking it down.

Ye Yaodong had an experience once. Just now, it was a fast, ruthless, and accurate hook that let it fall into the hand net.

The sea snail couldn't be hooked down, so he had to give up first.

Only a one-meter-high reef, the number of abalones is not much, he was busy for a while, the abalones on the surface of the reef were dug out by them, and even those under the water were dug some, but the reef was still motionless.

This made the father and son a bit puzzled.

"Maybe this reef will be like this in the future, neither rising nor falling? Otherwise, go to the island to dock first, cook something to eat as breakfast, and then see after eating?"

Ye Yaodong nodded.

Some natural phenomena are too strange, you can't predict them at all, so you can only observe for a while to see.

He was also very familiar with the isolated island next to it. Although he felt a bit awkward in his heart when thinking of the corpse, considering the dream he had, he felt that since he had come here again, he might as well offer a bowl of sacrifices, just as a memorial to himself in his previous life.

What was brought out today was rice cake. You have to eat rice cake when you come out to earn money in the New Year, which implies that one year is higher than one year.

Put in fresh seafood and Chinese cabbage, and after boiling, he first scooped out a bowl.

"Dad, since we docked here, I will carry a bowl to the mountain."

"Ah?" Ye Father frowned, hesitated, although he felt unlucky, he didn't say anything, the dead are the greatest, "Then you go quickly and return quickly."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly went up the mountain, not far away, more than ten meters from the seaside.

The sacrifices placed before were gone, only the bowl was still there, it should have been washed away by the rain.

He put down the rice cake that had just been cooked and was still steaming hot, bowed three times, "Didn't expect to return here today, so I'll worship by the way, bless me to be smooth and safe in this life."

Making a fortune is not the most important thing, everything goes well to make wishes come true.

After nagging a word, he planned to turn around and leave quickly, but when he turned around, he saw a stone under the tree on the left reflecting in the sun, stinging his eyes.

His eyes squinted uncomfortably, and then he walked over curiously to see.

A fist-sized golden stone, half of it seemed to be buried in the mud, he picked it up curiously to see, and after turning it to check, his pupils instantly tightened.

"Dog-head gold!"

"Holy crap! Is it really dog-head gold?"

The golden stone in his hand is relatively round, but there are some small pits like honeycomb on the surface, and some protruding parts. The shape is a bit like a naive, dog-barking lion dog?

Dog-head gold, also known as "horseshoe gold", although the name carries "gold", it is actually a mixed mineral with natural output and large-particle irregular sand gold components.

Simply put, "dog-head gold" belongs to low-purity gold ore, but it has the significance of collection.

Most people like to talk about "auspiciousness". Dog-head gold is upright, round, and has a strange shape. It is often regarded as a symbol of good fortune and auspiciousness, which will bring wealth to people.

More importantly, the appearance of "dog-head gold" is not accidental, often meaning that there is gold ore in the discovery site. If you bring professional equipment to the scene to "follow the vine and find the melon", it is very likely to find mineral deposits.

Ye Yaodong turned it over and over happily, and instantly he thought of something, put the dog-head gold in his hand back into his pocket, and found a flat stone on the spot to dig, dug more than 20 centimeters down, but didn't see anything.

Changed another position and continued to dig next to it.

After digging five small pits in a row, just when he heard his old father's voice and was about to give up, he suddenly touched a hard object in the pit more than ten centimeters deep.

He put down the stone in his hand, washed it with his hand a few times, and saw a golden, shiny, round corner again, and he widened his eyes in surprise.

Another one?

His father's call was getting closer and closer, he hurriedly responded to him first, and then happily dug quickly.

As he dug, the round corner was exposed more and more, and a corner popped out from the bottom. He thought it was two, but what he pulled out was one.

It's just that this piece of dog-head gold is smaller, and the color is not as golden as the previous one. The two corners just exposed are like two "ears", looking like a rabbit head?

No wonder it is said that dog-head gold is generally in the form of beasts.

Listening to his father's voice getting closer and closer, he turned his head to look, and didn't care to find it again, put one in each pocket and ran down the mountain hurriedly, so as not to let him worry. ===== CHAPTER 294 =====
