Chapter 14: A Bunch of Tide Makers
One morning during the summer vacation, there was a heavy rainstorm. In the afternoon, the sun broke out of the dark clouds, and finally revealed a big red face.
At this time, the sun is straight, but not dull and monotonous, they shuttle between the branches, glide through the grass, and fall to the ground. Carrying a golden light, the water droplets after the rain shine into sparkling diamonds.
The rare coolness of summer accompanied by beautiful sunshine is refreshing.
The friends called friends and made an appointment to pick up conch. Each of them carried a small bucket in his left hand, a slender iron hook in his right hand, a straw hat, and a small towel around his neck.
The scene looks so spectacular, a group of children who catch the tide sing "Penghu Bay":
The evening breeze blows Penghu Bay!
White waves chase the beach!
There is no coconut grove drunk sunset!
It's just a piece of ocean blue!
Sit on the low wall in front of the door and think about it over and over again!
It is also on the beach at dusk, with footprints in two and a half!
It was my grandmother holding a cane and gently holding my hand!
Step on the twilight and walk towards the afterglow, the warm Penghu Bay!
……
sang all the way, giggling and rushing to the beach, attracting a lot of envious eyeballs on the way.
The sea had not yet ebbed before the tide came, and the waves came layer after layer, colliding on the reef lying on the surface of the sea. The splash and fall again wet the children's little feet, and playfully took away the marks they left on the beach as a permanent treasure.
Watching the waves come from time to time, it seems that they are never tired; Listening to the sea seems to be deliberately noisy, it seems to deliberately drive the children's happy emotions.
Yao Laiqian proudly went swimming, soaking in the seawater, and deliberately kept provoking the girls: "You women's army has the ability to come and swim!" Hurry up! It's always fun! ”
The angry Fan Ya gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "What is the rule in this ravine, girls can't swim!" I'm! ”
"Let him go! We ignore him, we float away!" Li Yang led the Women's Army to play.
Qin Xiaoyan and Liao Xixi couldn't control the drifting, squatting together to pick beautiful shells and pick up colorful pebbles. The two of them whispered endlessly.
Fan Ya, Li Yang, and Xiao Jing like to challenge.
Li Yang also played for the first time today, picking up a pebble on the spot and throwing it into the sea. Every time you throw a pebble, it's "Boom!" With a splash, he sank to the bottom of the sea, and in a hurry he took a small stone at his feet. Cast again, repeat many times and have the same effect. I threw it many times, my arms were sore, I was sweating profusely, and I was tired and couldn't sit on the pebbles. I couldn't help but wonder: Why can't I do it? Sit back and rest for a while! Let's see how Fan Ya and Xiao Jing did it.
Seeing Xiao Jing constantly flipping on the pebbles, picking the pebbles she liked, and then throwing them into the sea, "Wow!" Wow!" jumped twice, and then a circular ripple appeared where the pebble jumped, watching the small stone sink to the bottom of the sea, Xiao Jing lowered his head to turn over the pebble. Li Yang couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Jing!" What are you picking? Is the pebble still different? ”
"Of course it's different, there are male and female pebbles, don't you know?" Xiao Jing looked at this Li Yang and didn't understand anything, and took the initiative to ask for a fight, deliberately teasing Li Yang and saying.
Li Yang's eyes widened at the curiosity in his heart: he felt that he was too ignorant, and said: "There are also male and female stones, how come I have never heard of it!"
"Ha-ha-ha! Li Yang! I'm laughing to death! Funny to you, you believe it! Xiao Jing laughed too violently, his stomach cramped a little, he bent over with both hands on his stomach, and then said very seriously: "I picked a flat little pebble, my stomach hurts from laughter, I can't teach you, you take a closer look at Fan Ya and how she does it, she is much better than me." ”
The others didn't know why Xiao Jing was laughing, they just glanced at Xiao Jing, who was laughing, and continued to be busy with the matter at hand.
"You're so annoying! Xiao Jing! I was almost turned around by you. Li Yang complained about Xiao Jing, and he felt funny when he thought about it, and then looked at Fan Ya.
Fan Ya squatted on the pebbles on the shore, turning the pebbles constantly, and put each suitable pebble in her pocket.
It didn't take long for Li Yang to look at the pebbles that Fan Ya had packed two pockets of.
Seeing that she had almost picked up, Fan Ya came to the water's edge and stood up with her left arm open, and her right hand was between the middle finger of her index finger and middle finger, clamping a small flat pebble. Touch your right hand to your chest first, and then throw the pebbles out of the sea with all your might. "Oop", "Oop", "Oop" pebbles bounced on the surface of the sea three times, and then at the position of the first jump, large circular ripples slowly spread. The second time the bounce of the sea surface is a circular ripple, slightly small and rapid spread. The last time there was a small circle of ripples, as the pebbles sank silently, disappeared without a trace. Fan Ya took out another piece from her pocket and threw it again to the sea......
Seeing that Li Yang was dumbfounded, he reacted after a while, and couldn't help but dance and shout: "Fan Ya! You're amazing! That's amazing! How did you do that? Guru! Guru! Fast! Teach me!"
"Good! The master will teach you, this is very simple, ...... first" Fan Ya made Li Yang's emotions very excited, took out pebbles from his pocket and handed them to Li Yang, and then taught her hand in hand.
After many experiments, Li Yang slowly found the feeling. It turns out that the posture and strength of the throw, as well as the choice of material, will affect the number of times the pebble bounces on the water surface.
Then we started to compare and see who hit the water the most, and who bounced the most small stones on the water at one time.
The cheers were louder and louder, and Yao Laichao, who listened to it, was itching in his heart.
I don't know when, he was wet, standing behind them deliberately: "Uh-huh! Which ditch! Which ditch! I'd like to play with you!"
They looked at each other and smiled, and our plan succeeded.
……
Gradually, the tide receded, and the sea returned to calm.
Under the sun, the sea is so soft; The sea is so tranquil; Occasionally, there are a few white seagulls, hovering low on the surface of the sea.
It's time to get down to business, or you can't go home and pay the errand, but you have to bloom in the ass!
The little friends are on the beach, on the stones of different sizes and shapes, and it is not too troublesome or tiring to climb up and down.
The postures of picking up conches are varied: some are bowed and bent, some are squatting, some are tiptoeing, and some are stretching their necks and staring.
As long as you like the conch, you can take it directly, and if you can use an iron hook, you can use a hook. If it doesn't work, try to pull it out as well.
Yao Lai's favorite thing is to keep turning over small stones and picking up conches under the stones. Sometimes you will encounter small crabs, and you must be very fast at this time, otherwise the small crabs will run away.
Although it is possible to pick up ready-made ones, it is most likely to scratch the oyster shells and jade pot shells on the stones. Little girls don't like to scar their little hands.
Girls like to pick up conches on or under large boulders, or use iron hooks to dig conches in the crevices of stones.
As long as anyone picks up a large conch, they will cheer and everyone will be envious.
Whenever this happens, people start throwing mud or sand at each other to celebrate.
These handy weapons are a lot of fun to play. Every now and then, I forget my business, forget the dangerous time of high tide, and forget to go home.
Parents living in the mountains saw that the children were still crazy on the beach when the tide was high. Each of them shouted their children's names at the beach, and the shouts were quite lively.
A group of tide makers reluctantly went home. Of course, a scolding is indispensable, and it is inevitable to be beaten once, and it doesn't matter if the skin is rough and the meat is thick, it doesn't matter if you come back next time.
