Chapter 619

~11 min read 2,074 words

Watching the battle between the two big and small guys in the water gradually become white-hot, Ye Yaodong also squatted down, pressed his clothes sleeves, supported his chin with one hand, and gave them light with the other hand holding a flashlight.

I don't know if the baby great white shark has a large body size and good physical strength. He waited for a long time, and didn't see any signs of it being gone.

This cookiecutter shark is still not enough, ants can't do elephants.

However, it was closer. When the tide surged up and retreated, he felt that the baby great white shark was almost stranded in the shallow water.

And now it seems that the tide is starting to ebb, and the water level has dropped a bit from the position he was squatting just now.

Ye Yaodong moved forward, tried to stretch forward with the hand-held fishing net, and as a result, found that after the tide retreated, it could reach it?

It's just that when he wanted to catch it, a wave of tide surged up again, and he could only take a small step back to avoid being hit by the waves.

Looking at the two fish that were still loving and killing each other in front, he stared at the tide under his feet. After it surged and shrank, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched his hand-held fishing net, and covered both fish in the fishing net with just one stroke.

However, the baby great white shark's body size was quite large and long, and the net mouth of the hand-held fishing net was not that large, so it couldn't cover its head and body completely, only covering 2/3.

It was not a big problem. While it was struggling there, he also used the force of the steel ring above to pull the fish closer to the beach, letting it be stranded, so it couldn't escape.

He used his strength to move the struggling fish forward bit by bit, and that cookiecutter shark also happened to tear off a piece of meat, separated from the baby great white shark, and turned left and right in the hand-held fishing net, trying to break through the net mouth and slip away.

Ye Yaodong looked at his feet. Because of a wave of tide surging up, his liberation shoes were already wet, so he simply lifted his pants legs with one hand and waded into the water directly.

It's already wet, can it not be dry?

It's already like this, it can only be worth his waiting there for so long to catch the two guys up.

He walked forward a few steps, feeling that the cookiecutter shark in the hand-held fishing net was bumping violently, so he simply threw the fish toward the shore, killed it first, so as not to hurt people later.

"Go you~"

Watching it jump and jump on the ground, Ye Yaodong took back his gaze, continued to catch the baby great white shark with the hand-held fishing net.

Because the body size was too large, although there was still seawater under it, it couldn't support it to swim at will, and could only sway and move in the shallow water. At this time, it was equivalent to being semi-stranded.

Ye Yaodong made persistent efforts to cover it with the hand-held fishing net, and continued to move it toward the beach.

With his efforts and the slow retreat of the tide, before long, this fish was completely stranded on the beach, only occasionally the tide surged and washed a bit on its back.

"Good guy, it's just a cub, and it's already one or two meters big. It's so laborious to get it up. If it's an adult, one bite could swallow me!"

He complained, looked at the fish mouth opening and closing there, the fish tail swaying, and simply grabbed its slippery tail and continued to drag it toward the shore.

Until it couldn't be washed by the seawater under his feet, he threw it on the beach at will, and shone the flashlight to find the cookiecutter shark he just threw up.

This fish is not big. He shone with a flashlight for a long time before finding this fish. It actually jumped into the small stone pile on the side and was blocked by a large stone. Fortunately, he had sharp eyes and saw it.

After a while since he threw it up, it was already breathing more than it was breathing out, and it was almost gone.

Ye Yaodong aimed at it and pinched its fish head, to avoid being bitten back by its dying counterattack, threw it into the bucket, and then went to drag that baby great white shark.

Anyway, it was already pitted and scarred, so just drag it back. Don't hold it, so as not to get the cotton-padded jacket dirty. His wife has to wash it. In the cold winter, he saw that she had chilblains on her hands.

The old lady had been looking at the door. Seeing him come back, she still nagged, "Told you, you didn't listen. It's dark, and you ran to the beach. In case you were rolled away by the waves, no one would know... Eh? Such a big fish, oh my, it's a shark?"

Ye Yaodong lifted it up and showed it to the old lady carefully, "It's a baby great white shark. It's already so big before it grows up, about as tall as A Hai. Just saw it, so I went to catch it."

"That's dangerous. This fish will bite people when it's big. This one is so big, how laborious it must be to catch it. Is there anywhere wet on your body? Put this shark in the courtyard first, give me the bucket, you hurry back to the room to change your clothes and shoes, see your shoes are soaked, don't catch a cold..."

The old lady was happy when she saw the fish, and then cared about him, and snatched the water bucket from his hand.

Ye Yaodong had to drag the fish into the house, "Just when catching the great white shark, the shoes were washed by the seawater. Others were not wet. I'll soak my feet when I go in later. This shark is too big and heavy, I'll drag it in."

"Hey hey, I just boiled a pot of boiling water, and filled two thermos bottles, just right to soak your feet. I'll pour it for you, and take cold water with a water ladle, mix it well, and call you to sit in front of the stove after testing the temperature."

After the old lady mentioned the fish into the house, she hurriedly took the foot wash basin to pour hot water for him, and took a water ladle to scoop cold water, mixed it well, and called him to sit in front of the stove after testing the temperature.

"Just put the rice down to cook, there is firelight in front of the stove, sit here and soak your feet, warmer."

"I'll do it myself..."

"Hurry up and take off your shoes, otherwise your feet will be swollen, and you will catch a cold."

The firelight in front of the stove reflected the old lady's kind and smiling face, feeling warmer than the warmest ray of sunshine in winter.

"The rag is here, soak for a while, wipe it dry when the water is not hot, I'll get you cotton slippers."

After the old lady finished explaining, she went to get slippers for him, and that stooped figure turned around in the main room.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It's like picking up a treasure to take you over to support the elderly. You can help watch the children, help cook, and help when there is something. You are more reliable than my mother."

"Your mother is eating public food now, and has no time to turn around in this one-third of an acre of land at home. I have old bones, and can only do these chores at home. People are old, and it's good to move their muscles and bones..."

"I bought a lot of meat back. Let Aqing handle it when it's dawn. This big shark has to wait until dawn, I'll kill it, cut off the fish fins on it, and dry it for a few days. By the New Year's Eve, our New Year's Eve dinner can add a bowl of shark fin."

The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Shark fin is fine, supplement you all. It's a pity, this shark is a bit small, otherwise it can dry more shark fin. This body is pitted, don't know what bit it, one circle after another."

"It was bitten by the small shark in the bucket. That small one is cruel."

She looked into the bucket on the side, and also saw the teeth exposed outside the fish, "Oh my, this tooth is like a serrated tooth. If you bite it, the meat on your body will come down."

"Hmm, the two were fighting just now, so I caught them together. Don't move it there, I'll kill it when it's dawn."

"Hey, I won't move, you soak your feet and go back to the room to sleep first. It's still a while before dawn, the rice in the pot is not cooked, otherwise you can eat a bowl and sleep," the old lady nagged, "Otherwise, I'll make you a bowl of malted milk, drink it and sleep?"

Ye Yaodong wiped his feet dry and stretched into the cotton slippers, warm, "Don't be busy, sit down and rest, this is for the elderly and children to drink, what kind of malted milk does a strong young man like me drink? Waste things, I'll go back to the room to sleep."

"Young people can also drink... supplement..."

The old lady's voice still came from behind, and he had already pushed the door into the room, saving her from being idle and turning around him.

Really want to drink what milk, isn't breast milk more nutritious?!

(Shy, no)

Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by the sound of them going out, just had a headache and couldn't get up, and only fully woke up now, "Just came back, killed the pig until now, I seemed to hear the neighbor's talking sound early."

"Hmm, came back half an hour early, just went to the beach to see. Just caught a baby great white shark, 30 or 40 jin heavy. Tomorrow kill the fish, fry it, cut the fish fins and dry them..."

Ye Yaodong said while taking off his clothes and pants to go to bed.

"Why not sell it? Can also sell some money, so big, where can we finish eating? And shark meat is not delicious."

"Can't sell, the appearance is not good, the body is pitted by another small shark, and it's even dirtier after being dragged back all the way, unbearable to look at. Just kill it and eat it yourself. Shark meat is also fragrant when fried. On New Year's Eve, let the children taste what shark fin tastes like."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "What is not fragrant when fried? Only you know how to eat, and shark meat is fried."

Ye Yaodong lay down and hugged her, kissed her and said, "Hmm, New Year, eat better, be extravagant, and put some oil and water in the children's stomachs."

"When did they suffer all year round? When other children are sucking their fingers, their pockets are full of all kinds of beans, candies, and red dates snacks. Only others look at them and drool, but they don't look at others and drool."

"Hmm, how can my son look at others eating and drooling without promise? It's right to be envied. There will be many places to be envied in the future."

"Only know how to talk to yourself, just bought a bit of fat meat, and want to mess around." Lin Xiuqing beat him lightly, but was hugged tighter by him.

"Life is only a few decades, just eat well and drink well, be happy. How much money can you eat?"

"It's simple to say."

"It's very simple, eat well and drink well, live today and tomorrow well, sleep, take a nap, when it's dawn, have to clean up those things."

"Hmm."
