689. Rise to the Storm (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
At this time, on the beach of the long fishing shoreline, countless fiddler crabs emerge from the sand, densely packed, like sesame seeds on flatbread.
Of course, the color of their shells is much brighter than that of gray sesame seeds. The male crab is more vivid in color than the female crab, and the colors include coral red, bright green, golden yellow, light green and light blue, etc., sprinkled on the beach like small flowers.
If it weren't for the fiddler crabs taking the initiative to get out of the sand, Qin Shiou would never have known that there were already so many small crabs in his fishing ground. Before, he had planned to replenish the fishing grounds with these little things, but now it seems that he was overthinking.
The fiddler crabs crawled out neatly, and the males raised their sword-like claws and swung them vigorously at the waves. In this way, although the crabs are small, they are numerous, so this scene is particularly imposing.
This is where the name 'fiddler crabs' come from, and they were named after the ancients who thought they were summoning the tide.
Of course, Qin Shiou knew that this action was not really able to summon the tide, but to show his strength, intimidate the enemy or courtship.
Thinking of this, he gathered the fishermen together and discussed: "The crab population is abnormal, could it be mating season?" They don't look like they're hiding from the tide, but rather like a concentrated courtship. ”
The eldest Zach shook his head, he took Qin Shiou to find some newly built fiddler crab caves, pointed to the crab cover that covered the entrance of the cave and said: "Look, they obviously know what they might be greeting, and they have specially prepared the crab cover that was removed before to cover the hole, if they are going to mate, how can they seal the door of the house?" ”
The sea monster also said, "Yes. BOSS, I think the fiddler crabs are just taking advantage of the opportunity to move by to find a mate. Rather than specifically crawling out to find a spouse. ”
Qin Shiou frowned and said, "In that case, the fiddler crabs firmly believe that there will be a big tide soon. Is it? ”
The fishermen nodded, but Qin Shiou had no choice but to wave his hand and let everyone start working to clean up the fishing ground.
There is no doubt that no matter how strong the tide is, it is impossible to rush to the location of the villa.
The reason why Qin Shiou and the fishermen had to judge whether the tide would be necessary was because they had to do a lot of work based on it, such as fixing fishing boats, such as fixing kelp breeding rafts, such as carrying fish and shrimp feed to the sea, and so on.
Seeing the adults at work, the children came to work after a while. Tigers, leopards, bears and wolves all came up to help, only the real snapping turtle master leisurely walked on the beach, eating while walking, and the small fiddler crab was a delicacy in its mouth.
Children lack concentration in their work, and they get distracted after a while, which can be unhelpful.
Qin Shiou didn't want them to come up and make trouble, but he couldn't discourage the children's enthusiasm. He walked around the ground and found a big crab the size of his fist and gave it to Gordon and Michelle.
Gordon and Michelle studied the fiddler crab for a moment, and their eyes lit up. Excitedly, he ran to find Shaq Jr. and Krakenson to show off.
Little Shaq said disdainfully: "What's this, the crab king I picked up yesterday is bigger than yours!" ”
Unconvinced, Gordon raised the fiddler crab in his hand and said, "Didn't you see that?" My fiddler crab is different, its big claw grows on the left! ”
Little Shaq saw that it was really like this. He went to the beach to look for a while, and the fiddler crabs he found were all large claws growing on the right side, so it seems that Gordon is indeed relatively rare.
Shaq Jr. didn't admit defeat either. Running to Daddy to get him one of these perverse crabs, Shaq was busy. I wasn't in the mood to mess around with him, so I pushed him away and told him to go back and play by himself.
Shaq Jr. expressed his displeasure with this. Mess with his dad everywhere. His father is also fierce, and a dragon kick on his left buttocks with a dragon swing tail, kicking him directly out five meters away.
In this way, little Shaq limped when his left side of the buttocks hurt, and his father raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Are you satisfied now?" ”
Qin Shiou laughed, the way Shaq and the sea monster educate their children is called a barbarism, but this seems to be fruitful, and Shaq and Krakensen will only be honest for a few days after they are beaten.
Seeing that Xiao Shak was unhappy and limping looking for crabs, Qin Shiou went over and explained: "This is not an uncommon species, fiddler crabs are like that, if the male crab loses its big claw, then a small claw will grow in its original place, and the original small claw will grow into a large claw to replace the lost big claw." ”
When Shaq heard this, he asked, "Then why are there so few chelae on the left side?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled: "It's very simple, your right hand is a dominant hand, right?" So if your right hand is broken and your left hand becomes a dominant hand, will you break your right hand in order to make your left hand dominant? ”
This metaphor is not appropriate, boring people may have, boring fiddler crabs are not.
The big claws are too important for fiddler crabs, it's what they burrow, hunt, fight, and attract the opposite sex, and they don't break their big claws unless they're particularly careful.
Generally speaking, fiddler crabs that have broken off their large chelas have a hard time making it difficult for the small chelates to grow into large chelas, and they will starve to death or be eaten by predators before they are killed.
After a busy day's work, Qin Shiou took the fishermen to clean up thousands of acres of kelp fields, and fixed the breeding raft before and after, so that even if the big waves came, the kelp would not be pushed around.
When the bull was cleaning up the kelp field, he picked up a ghost head saury more than one meter long, and this guy died by himself, thinking that the bull's hand in the water was food, so he opened his mouth and bit it.
Fortunately, the bull wears a thick protective glove, which is made of rubber as a whole, and there are many tough steel wires interspersed with it, so although the devil's head knife fish has sharp teeth, it still can't break the glove.
Rao was as bold as a bull and was startled, he took his hand, and everyone saw a big fish with a bright green color being lifted.
The fishermen did not know that there was a swordfish in the fishing grounds, and they were naturally surprised when they saw it, but then they laughed and asked the bull to treat him, saying that he had escaped the disaster.
Indeed, although the devil's head swordfish is not cannibal, it is a carnivorous fish after all, and that sharp tooth really bites the bull's wrist, at least the bull has to recuperate for a month.
The ghost head knife fish is similar to the star chicken fish that Qin Shiou caught not long ago, the star chicken fish will disappear after death, and the ghost head knife fish will change from green to dark gray after death.
Qin Shiou allowed the bull to bring the fish back to his house, and said, "Let Anna stew it for you, damn it, it actually wants to eat your hand, and now it's okay, it's going to be reduced to food." ”
The fishermen laughed and shouted that they would be guests at the bull's house.
The bull did not agree, and said, "My villa has not yet been built, and now the house is small and rotten, and I will invite you to play when I move into the new house." ”
The fishermen are all rough people, and they occasionally can't eat before following Qin Shiou, so they naturally don't care about this, they must be shouting to go to the bull's house to eat, and ask Qin Shiou if he will go.
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Count me in, I haven't been to the bull's house yet." (To be continued......)
