My wife is a hermit crab who drills a hole in the earth fairy @ Chapter 003

Text/polarisa

Cheng Yunhai is an open-minded and cheerful person, but he doesn't have any bosom friends in school, and he looks a little introverted on the outside, and he seems to be willing to put something in his heart.

Around him, there were also some teachers and classmates who cared about people. In the final analysis, it's just that he likes his identity as a son-in-law, especially those soul engineers, who know the soul transaction of modern society very well. In order to get a few gas tickets and a few boxes of economic fish, after asking for benefits, he also knew to take the initiative to arrange homework tutoring for Cheng Yunhai.

Cheng Yunhai is not particularly interested in college, he always feels that it is not the same thing if he can't go to school, and even feels that it is a waste of time and money, and he also knows that this society is not very good-looking without a college diploma, so he thinks about choosing a second-rate university at his doorstep. Therefore, now he is very satisfied with his current academic performance and never cares about any tutoring. After those soul engineers reached out to him to ask for things, they proposed to make up the class, but they were always rejected by Cheng Yunhai in a chic manner, and they didn't go to the sea to see the crabs at that time, which made them very embarrassed. Cheng Yunhai also wanted to make them feel ashamed of this, and no longer stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to ask for bribes.

This year, Cheng Jianguo stepped down, and no one bothered Cheng Yunhai anymore. If there is no use value, who knows whom.

In fact, Cheng Yunhai's academic performance is not in the top few, and he is also in the top ten in the class. If you can't go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, or what colleges such as Liaoning University of Science and Technology and Liaoning University Fisheries in this province, there should be no problem. Moreover, Cheng Yunhai knows that the farther away from home the school is, the higher the cost will be.

Some students in the class, when they talk about filling in the future volunteers, most of them have become unaware of the sky, and regard traveling to study as a free trip to the mountains and rivers, where do they think that they will leave a heavy financial burden on their parents? Cheng Yunhai, who is self-reliant, is used to calculating the amount of money he spends no matter what he does, maybe only those who spend his own money will know that he is hurting money, think about those students who apply for volunteer newspapers from all over the world and thousands of miles away from home, how much is it for the reputation of the school, teachers, or teaching facilities?

Cheng Yunhai initially planned to report to the Liaoning University Institute of Technology in the province, which is in Liaoda City, a few hundred miles away from home, taking a long-distance bus, only four or five hours to go back and forth, and the fare of dozens of yuan, almost once a week. I thought about it for a while, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

The wild pike crab seedlings purchased this year are of different sizes, and the workload of removing dirt and shells is not too large. Afraid of the negligence of the workers, Cheng Yunhai checked every morning more carefully than in previous years, so that the physical pressure was a little great, because he had not rested well in the past few nights.

In the year when Cheng Jianguo was idle, he had less entertainment, less tobacco and alcohol, and occasionally went to play badminton and table tennis, but his beer belly and high blood pressure indicators all went down, and his physical condition recovered well. It is not easy for people who are almost 50 years old to maintain such a physical condition, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After his comeback, perhaps because of his self-confidence, he had good physical condition, forgot about his tobacco and alcohol restrictions, and returned to his past social life, and came back late at night. The sister-in-law didn't say anything, but Cheng Yunhai couldn't stand it, she got up early in the morning to see the crab seedlings, and she had to go to class during the day, and if she was disturbed at night, she would be uncomfortable all day. Now that Cheng Jianguo has just made a comeback, his mental state is so good, he is full of ambition, thinking about these may affect his passion, Cheng Yunhai wanted to say it several times, and swallowed it again.

When he came out this morning, the sun was not high, it was red, and he was a little drowsy in his eyes, and Cheng Yunhai knew that he hadn't rested well last night. Holding a handful of seawater on his face, he slapped the swing of the oar hard, and the boat pointed straight all the way to the summer shell shelf.

Hands into the seawater, it's late July, the sea water is still cool, pull up the crab pot to see and put down, turn around, except for the more crab shells shedding, there is no special situation. Now the pike crabs are fed with fish fat, not mainly in the autumn with low-quality clams such as sea red, and there are many broken skins. Such sporadic crab shells will not be cleaned up by the workers without instructions. Thinking about things, the boat stopped at the northeast corner of the summer shell shelf, staring at the summer shell cage.

Maybe it was facing the sun, but by coincidence, I saw a shining, red crystal thing in the summer shell cage in front of me. Bending down and pulling up the summer shell cage, the crystal thing is gone, but I saw a particularly large summer shell on the upper layer of the cage, the outer diameter is actually fifteen or sixteen centimeters in size, which is a super summer shell. However, the shell of this ultra-shell looks too rough and worn very badly, as if it is a dead shell full of oysters!

Cheng Yunhai couldn't help but reach out and take it out, feeling a little weird in his hand, he couldn't feel the coldness of the seawater, and even a little warm. The largest artificially cultivated summer shellfish is about ten centimeters, and it is only ten months now, and it will not grow much. Suddenly such a big guy appeared, how weird it looked.

Bottom-seeded or naturally grown summer shellfish are large and swim fast. This big man, could it be that the shell seedlings leaked out of the cage, and when they grew up in the wild, they ran back to the cage to steal food? Think about it. Seeing that the sun was high, he hurried back, but put the big guy in his pocket. The boat shook slowly, Yunhai had a whim, picked up a plastic bucket on the boat, about fifty catties, took a bucket of water back, grabbed a few ordinary summer shellfish and threw them into the bucket together, and fished out a few stones full of seaweed and a few handfuls of sea sand on the shore, and caught a few small fish in the repulse bay.

When you get home, find the tank where you used to keep aquarium fish and make a bucket. The sister-in-law saw that he brought so many messy things home, and was surprised that she thought she was going to make a big move, and when Yunhai found out the fish tank and raised the small sea fish and summer shellfish, she finally thought that he was childlike and too lazy to take care of it.

When the fish tank is set up, the seaweed stones are lowered, and the sea water is poured in, the inside of the fish tank is cloudy, and the summer shellfish are piled up in the corners and do not move. Cheng Yunhai looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help but take out the big guy and throw it into the basin. Xia Ribei may have been holding back for too long, and suddenly opened the shell on the right without defense. Cheng Yunhai's eyes were immediately attracted by the golden light in the shell!

Summer Bei lazily unfolded the two fan shells, and the shells emitted a crystal white, slightly reddish light, and each red rib stretched out like a keel. What's even more striking is a large pearl with a diameter of about one and a half centimeters next to the shell pillar! It is not like a pearl, it does not look as colorless and transparent as a glass bead, nor is it as white and cloudy as a pearl. Lilac light flashed from the inner core of the bead, and the outer edge of the bead seemed to have a watery film. The color of the film is refracted by the light, and it seems to disguise the changes in the core.

This jade bead was definitely not bred by Xia Ribei. Like other species of scallops, the largest shellfish is only a shell column*, and the shell edges and flesh are thin and small, so it is impossible to give birth to a pearl with such a large diameter. Looking at this summer shell carefully, I have to admit that this jade bead has a certain relationship with the large summer shell, especially the purple ribs that can reflect the light and the jade white inner shell, which show the extraordinaryness of this summer shell.

Cheng Yunhai tiptoed over, and at the moment when Xia Ribei didn't pay attention, he bypassed Yuzhu and quickly inserted his finger into the shell. Perhaps it was because the summer shell was a little paralyzed when it left the sea, and it was not until the fingers touched the shell that the summer shell began to collect the shell. In Cheng Yunhai's opinion, no matter how big the shell is, it is not a crab claw, and it doesn't feel anything when it is clamped, presumably the shell beads will be torn if the fingers are forced.

However, empiricism kills people, the shell is so caught in the finger that it can't break free, and it slams the ground, and there is no scarring on the shell, but the finger is tortured to the point of more pain. Suddenly, the middle finger that had reached in felt a little burning, and suddenly a cone tingling pain came from the fingertip, and the sharp pain was still spreading. It's like a small hermit crab that gets into it with the tip of its middle finger, bites a passage all the way, and rushes into it with a swagger.

The pain is severe, and the brain is sober. Cheng Yunhai has practiced qigong for six years, and he feels that this hermit crab seems to be crawling on the hand and yin heart envelope meridian, one of the twelve main meridians of the human body. Sure enough, the severe pain gradually spread to the Laogong acupoint in the palm of the palm, and then along the Daling and Neiguan on the wrist, and then to the intermediary and Xuanmen on the forearm, and then Qu Ze on the elbow joint, and the Tianquan on the upper arm, straight into the Tianchi, and finally in the pain of drilling the heart, I felt that the little hermit crab finally crawled into the heart, and the violent heartbeat of "boom boom" came directly to his mind, Cheng Yunhai felt a little dizzy, stood unsteady for a while, and squatted on the ground.

Slowly, after more than ten minutes, I felt that the pain on the Yin Heart Envelope meridian of the hand was somewhat relieved and no longer uncomfortable, and finally dissipated. Only then did I think of the summer shell with my finger clamped, it was so weird, it had already fallen off, lying in the basin, still with the shell open, but the jade bead was gone?!

The Yin Heart Envelope Meridian of the hand, which was initiated by rushing to the acupoint in the middle fingertips, actually showed a chopstick-thick, lilac imprint on the skin, and it was slowly disappearing. After a few minutes, no trace is visible. I felt a thin warm current, slowly starting from the tip of the middle finger, flowing through the left arm, and seemed to flow along the meridians into the heart. Repeatedly, constantly initiated, and constantly flowed in.

The warm current flowing into the heart is not completely motionless, but seems to be faintly divided into two strands, one of which slowly enters the depths of the back of the nose with the upward movement of the blood veins, and floats warmly in the back of the head; The other stream flowed straight down the stomach, liver and gallbladder before falling into the warm coil of the lower abdomen. In the end, the two warm currents slowly lost their feelings. There is a clear difference between the warm current flowing into the heart and the warm current flowing out, and it seems that the flow is much more in than out. The flow is an obvious channel, but the outflow is just a route. Cheng Yunhai thought depressedly, could this be that the hand convulsion yin heart envelope meridian was really opened a channel?

Roll up your sleeves to look at your arms, then lift your clothes to look at your heart, look at your lower abdomen, and even look at your forehead in the mirror, there are no traces on your skin. There was an inexplicable fear in my heart, worried that some radioactive material had infiltrated or some kind of virus had invaded. Thinking back to the two warm currents flowing just now, it was only as comfortable as a gentle touch on the body, but I subconsciously felt that it would not hurt anything.

Cheng Yunhai was standing in the courtyard thinking about his thoughts, and when his sister-in-law saw that he was delayed in entering the house, she called him to eat. Cheng Yunhai threw the summer shellfish back into the fish tank and went into the house to eat. Seeing his parents sitting at the dining table, he remembered that after breakfast a few days ago, his father was depressed in the yard alone, and his heart immediately cleared up, and he forgot about Yuzhu.

After breakfast, Cheng Jianguo's driver had already arrived outside the courtyard gate. This kind of job welfare in the coastal area has become a common practice, and it is also a tool for enterprises and bureaucrats to compare with each other. In Kagoshima, there is almost no third person who can enjoy the shuttle bus to and from work, except for the village party secretary and Cheng Jianguo.

A few years ago, the sister-in-law had a glory that had to be said. In the past year, I no longer saw a special car at the door, although I couldn't hear what others said, Cheng Jianguo and Guo's sister-in-law, who lowered their heads, could also feel the disdain in the eyes of their neighbors. Now I heard the sound of parking outside the courtyard gate, and the people in the house listened to it, and they naturally showed a light smile on their faces.

In the past, Cheng Jianguo was more pedantic, very strict with himself and his family, and was unwilling to take advantage of the public. In order not to engage in specialization, he asked his wife and son, no matter what the circumstances and what the reason, could not call his special car. Cheng Yunhai didn't care about this, his independent emotions always made him feel that sheltering under his father's privilege was not a particularly glorious thing.

Now, Cheng Jianguo has changed, a pure old man, and finally degenerate. This year's suffering, for him, seems to have seen through the heat and coldness of the world, and finally discovered his pedantry. I finally knew that the company set up a special car for itself, which is the reward for working in the company, which can benefit my family. So, after the family finished breakfast, he would take the initiative to ask his wife and children if they would like to give you a ride?

The sister-in-law wants to go to the vegetable market in the early morning, so she is naturally happy to take the car. Cheng Yunhai is different, he doesn't quite approve of his father's change, and he has always liked to ride a mountain bike and walk through high-standard provincial roads in a chic manner, which is not a feeling that everyone can experience.

What made Cheng Yunhai even more fascinated was that a new bus line was opened in the north of the village. The Haiyang Municipal Government moved from the old county town to Tongyu Bay, where their village is located, and now only the huge government square and government office building have been put into use, and the supporting government family building has not yet been completed, let alone renovated and moved in. As a result, the municipal government deliberately invested 1.5 million yuan to purchase two luxury air-conditioned buses, which opened this bus line connecting the old county town and Tongyu Bay, and became a special bus for government employees.

There were almost no passengers on the bus on the return trip except for the driver and conductor. Cheng Yunhai can enjoy sitting in the air conditioner, immersed in the classic music atmosphere of "like fog, rain and wind", looking out the window at the endless sea and winding mountains, and traversing the beautiful county border alone.
