Chapter 313 Catch the sea at night
Tomorrow, on the 16th day of the lunar calendar, the tide will be full around 12:00 am, and then remain full for more than an hour before it starts to recede.
Ye Yaodong squinted for a moment, and when it was about half past one, he slowly got up.
He had tried his best to keep his movements light, but the creaking sound of the bed board still woke Lin Xiuqing up. There was a baby waiting to be fed beside her. She was a light sleeper, and whenever there was any movement, she would wake up and touch the baby.
But this movement, one can tell that it was not made by the child.
Hearing the rustling sound of him getting dressed, it didn't seem like he got up to go to the bathroom.
"A Dong? At night, you really took A Yuan to explore the sea?"
"We'll come back after we go out for a while, you sleep in your bed."
He also really wanted to see what he could gain at night?
"It's time for Ah Yuan to take a nap, so he thinks about playing. He doesn't play enough during the day, so he wants to go at night."
"Don't blame him, I want to go myself, anyway, I'm idle anyway."
"It's late at night, everyone is sleeping, what are you busy with?"
"Shhh, don't wake up the child, I'll be back as soon as I go, soon~" He said something reassuringly, and then quickly slipped away.
He just opened the door, and was about to call Lin Guangyuan next door, when the door in front of him also opened.
"Scare!" Lin Guangyuan patted his chest and whispered, "Scare me!"
"Shh, I'm quite alert."
"I've been half asleep and half awake, and I got up quickly when I heard the door opening from your side."
"Don't wake up everyone else, I'll go pee first, you go to the door and wait for me."
"good."
As a result, after he finished urinating, there was another person at the door, and he stared at the two excitedly whispering, "Since when did you guys get so close?"
"Third Uncle is not righteous, he takes Third Aunt's nephew with him instead of his own nephew!" Ye Chenghai complained.
"Didn't you come out already? Go, the tide has begun to recede."
One is a belt, and the other two are also belts. Fortunately, the other little ones were not called up.
Before he lay down, he had already taken all the tools into the bucket. He habitually prepared everything that should be prepared in advance, and now he can just pick it up and go without looking for it.
The two half-year-olds followed excitedly, "Third uncle, do you think there will be more goods at night than during the day?"
"have no idea!"
"Little Uncle, haven't you been to the beach at night?"
"Don't sleep? Do you think I'm free every day?"
"Aren't you free?"
Ye Chenghai interjected: "My third uncle used to be very idle. I don't know what medicine he took wrongly in the past year. Suddenly, he is actively striving and working hard. If his temper is still the same as before, we will all think he is a ghost. ..."
Without avoiding suspicion at all, say so in front of the person involved, okay?
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Shut your mouths, don't go if you keep talking."
"Hey, it's too quiet, I'm not used to it, why don't you talk?"
"Are you sure to come out, can you get up for school tomorrow?"
"Do you think my mother is a vegetarian? It will definitely drag me up!"
Lin Guangyuan laughed hahaha, "Just like my mother, fortunately I don't have to go to school anymore."
"How about you, you don't have to go to school, you don't have to go to the pier to fight the goods, you can play comfortably at home..."
"Who said that? I also want to help with the work..."
Ye Yaodong listened to their chatting, pursed his mouth, one was more worthless than the other, the family inheritance was undoubtedly.
"Don't go into the water later, you understand?"
"knew."
As soon as they got off the beach, Ye Yaodong gave each of them a bucket, and the two shared a flashlight, while he himself wore a headlamp and a sack. This suits him better and matches his temperament!
"Conch, conch...Little uncle, what a big conch...Go away..."
Ye Yaodong also saw the conch just brought up by the tide, and rolled into the sea before stopping. He trotted forward and stepped on it with his foot before stopping it. He picked it up and threw it into Lin Guangyuan's bucket.
"It's not bad, it's quite big. Look for it again. The tide is still receding. Slowly follow it."
"Sea urchin Sea urchin...There are two..."
"Here...here...this fish's tail is still moving, it's still alive, hahaha..."
The two walked and picked up, very excited, and the sound of ding ding dong dong kept coming from the bucket.
Ye Yaodong also picked up a black sea bream, two white pomfrets, one large and one small, and some big clams.
When he came to a small pile of rubble, under the swaying light of his headlamp, he saw a pile of stone crabs crawling around there, and occasionally a few swimming crabs.
The two teenagers followed by their side and shone their flashlights back and forth, and said in surprise, "Ah, there are so many crabs~"
"Haha, I said come out at night~"
"There are many rocks here. When the tide goes out, the seafood is easy to get stuck on the rocks and run aground. Grab the big ones, but not the small ones. Be careful not to get your hands pinched."
There are many stranded clams stuck by stones around, as well as some small fish and shrimps, Ye Yaodong picked everything he saw into the sack.
The three of them bent over, shining their flashlights back and forth. They were too busy to pick up all the miscellaneous goods in this small pile of rubble, and their buckets were almost one-third full.
"There are so many, your seaside is so nice."
Ye Yaodong also straightened his waist and rubbed it, then shook the sack, the bottom layer was fully covered.
He raised his head again, swayed from side to side, and looked around with the light of the headlight. After finding nothing, he called two people and continued on.
"Let's go, walk forward. The tide is receding a little bit. When it recedes to the bottom, we will go back. It's almost enough. Go back to sleep early. You are all growing up, it's too late..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped dumb and was stunned.
He suddenly saw the sea water tens of meters away in front of him glowing with light. It was a kind of hazy light, like a night light that had no brightness at the end. A large circle with a diameter of tens of meters.
Seeing him staring at the sea in a daze, the two boys followed his gaze.
"Aha? What is that? Uncle?"
"Could it be another blue tear, third uncle?"
"It shouldn't be, it doesn't look like it."
There are many things that can glow in the sea at night, such as fish eggs, red tide nocturnal algae, squid, etc. You can tell that this phenomenon at night is not blue tears.
The dim light is getting brighter and brighter, rushing to the surface of the water, it seems to be still moving and spreading.
It lasted for about ten seconds, the bright light gradually spread out, and then dissipated.
"Gone?"
"What is that? Your seaside is amazing..." Lin Guangyuan was full of novelty, "What are blue tears?"
Ye Chenghai said perfunctorily: "It's the blue sea water, it looks very beautiful at night..."
"Go ahead and have a look." Ye Yaodong took the lead in stepping forward.
At this moment, they all found something crawling ashore in the water not far away, and dense sounds came from all around.
Between the clatters, the surroundings were dark, and at a distance, I couldn’t see clearly even with a flashlight.
"What is it? The sound is a bit strange..." Lin Guangyuan went out to the beach at night for the first time, and his scalp felt a little numb when he heard the strange sound.
Ye Yaodong trotted forward a few steps and illuminated it with a headlamp. After a closer look, isn't this a crab?
"Damn it, so many crabs?"
哗啦啦 are all stone crabs and swimming crabs, crawling from the water to the shore with the tide.
The two boys behind him also ran after him, and were pleasantly surprised.
"A lot of crabs!"
Ye Yaodong couldn't be happier, he took out a new sack from his pocket and handed it to them, "Hurry up, don't talk, grab it quickly, **** it, this is too much, densely packed, I thought it was something just now .”
Crabs like to go ashore when the tide is high, but they all lean on the reefs close to the shore. It is rare to run directly to the shore like this.
The sea is vast, and human beings have rarely explored the sea, and magical things will always happen.
"Third Uncle, how many sacks have you brought? How do I think you can always take sacks out of your pockets? It's like someone juggling."
"What do you know? My name is Zhou Quan. There are many uses for sacks! Bring a few more to be prepared. Stop talking nonsense and grab them quickly."
The two boys stopped talking, and poured the goods in the bucket into the sack first, and then quickly grabbed them.
Ye Yaodong also threw the tongs aside, it was too slow to grasp with this method, so he squatted down and started to grasp faster.
As the tide receded, more and more crabs climbed onto the shore, and the three of them were delighted to say that there were so many...
"There are so many! They should all be called in at night. When will this be caught?"
"Catch as much as you can, and if you catch it, sell it for money and buy delicious food for you tomorrow, and reward you."
"No, it should be shared, third uncle, you can't be too picky! We are not children anymore."
"Fuck, I still want to share a share. I'm not timid, I really dare to think about it." Ye Yaodong said angrily.
"Hee hee~ Those who see it have a share!"
"Okay, I will divide it into three parts tomorrow, and give your mother the money from your share. When the time comes, I will buy something for the little ones, and you don't want to eat any of it."
Ye Chenghai stared, "Why are you giving it to my mother?"
"If you want to share the money, of course you have to give it to her."
"Can't you give it to me?"
"Of course not, children can't have too much money in their hands."
"You are treacherous!"
"Hurry up and work, what do you want to eat, I will buy it for you tomorrow."
Lin Guangyuan said: "Little uncle cheats people to work with food every day. Fortunately, I am not a child."
"You will eat and live with me for the next few days, are you willing to share the money?"
Lin Guangyuan pursed his lips, "Zhou Bapi!"
"My surname is Ye!"
"Oh, Ye Papi!"
"Haven't you watched little movies?"
"Hmph, I can walk several miles to watch movies in other villages!"
"Don't be silly, get to work soon, and I'll give you pocket money tomorrow if you make money."
The two boys complained, but they still worked very hard, actively catching crabs one by one into the bucket, and dumped them into the sack when it was half full.
It’s obviously not yet May, and the night wind blows and it’s cool, but they are hot and sweaty.
"Third Uncle, they seem to be running into the sea again?"
"Hurry up, hurry up~"
