Chapter 60: Catching the Tide

None of them had ever seen the sea, and they had only heard a few words from people in vague terms, and they were all bad remarks. What great storm at sea, how many farmland was flooded along the coast, how many people were displaced; And what kind of sea monsters will drag people to the sea to eat and so on, in short, full of awe of this blue sea!

Hua Qingyan slowly slid down the hillside, and saw Bi'er standing in place with a pale face, and the arm holding Xi'er was even tighter, causing Xiao Xi'er to show a look of pain. Hua Qingyan put Wuwu on the beach, and after telling him not to move, she hurriedly climbed up and picked up Xi'er.

"Sister, let's go back, this sea is too unlucky!" Bi'er grabbed Hua Qingyan's sleeve and looked uneasy.

Hua Qingyan patted her hand and comforted: "It's okay, look at this calm and calm, nothing will happen." And there are more good things in the sea than in the mountains! It's all something we haven't seen before, and Worry-free and Xi'er also want to see it, don't they! ”

Hua Qingyan had made up her mind, and although Bi'er was afraid, she still chose to follow behind her young lady silently. Bi'er thought, with her with her, at least in case of danger, she can help drag it out, even if it is sacrificed, she doesn't care, as long as the safety of the young lady and the child is the most important.

Hua Qingyan and they came just in time, just after the tide receded, the silver beach was full of seafood brought up by the tide, oysters, clams and other common shellfish can be seen everywhere! Not only that, but there are crabs and transparent shrimp crawling around in the cracks of the stones, which looks very energetic! Not only were the two children amazed by these things, but even Bi'er was attracted to them!

"Mother, what are those?" Xiao Wuwu tightly tugged at the corner of Hua Qingyan's clothes with one hand, and pointed to the shells on the ground with the other, his face was full of curiosity, if it wasn't for Hua Qingyan's permission, he was afraid that he would have stepped on a few feet.

"That's a shell, peel off the hard layer on the outside, and the soft meat on the inside can be eaten!" Hua Qingyan patiently explained, and even squatted down and selected several different shellfish to teach Wuwu and Xi'er to identify. The two little buns are very smart, and they can recognize them all in a while, and they can also classify the shellfish on the beach one by one.

The little buns walked in front, there were many shellfish on the beach, and there were many colors, Xi'er's eyes were shining, and she bent down to pick it up while walking, and she didn't forget to show it to Hua Qingyan. Hua Qingyan saw that she liked it, so she taught her to make her clothes into small pockets, and put all the shells she picked up in her pockets. And Hua Qingyan picked up those intact shellfish and put them in the bamboo basket, and from time to time smuggled the shellfish into the space while Bi'er was taking care of the two children, but even so, the bamboo basket behind her was even heavier.

Bi'er looked at her movements and was very puzzled: "Sister, what are you doing picking these up?" You can't use so much to play with Xi'er? ”

"Stupid!" Hua Qingyan smiled and nodded Bi'er's forehead, "The ones Xi'er picked up are all dead and can only be used to play, these I picked up are all alive, but they are used for eating!" ”

"Eat!" Bi'er exclaimed! She felt that her young lady was getting more and more magical, first the flower balls, then the lumps and what purple potatoes, and now even these hard shells were eaten in her eyes! These things are too hard to imagine, but I have to say that they are all very delicious! Bi'er, who had already been impressed by Hua Qingyan's craftsmanship and whimsy, joined the ranks of picking up shells without saying a word, and even snatched the bamboo basket in Hua Qingyan's hand and carried it on her back.

Hua Qingyan saw that Bi'er was already busy, so she walked to the big stone by the sea, and quietly got a lot of crabs and shrimp to send into the small pool of the space, these two things are delicious, Hua Qingyan naturally won't let go!

"Ahh

The two of them were happily eating delicious food, and suddenly heard Xiao Wuwu's exclamation, Hua Qingyan was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she couldn't care about the hand that was pinched by the crab, and immediately rushed to Xiao Wuwu's side and asked anxiously; "What's wrong with Carefree?"

"Mother, look, there are so many legs of insects, soft! Isn't it a snake? Xiao Wuwu will lift up and come to Hua Qingyan. Hua Qingyan was startled by this mass of sauce-colored things, originally heard him say that the snake immediately wanted him to throw it away and move away quickly, but he couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at it.

What a snake, this is an octopus, that is, an octopus!

"Yikes! What is it? It's disgusting! Throw it away, little master! Bi'er, who also rushed over, couldn't help but take a few steps back when she saw it, and the expression on her face was extremely disgusted. But she still endured the nausea, grabbed the octopus, and wanted to throw it away.

Fortunately, Hua Qingyan snatched it again before she let go, Bi'er was puzzled, but when she saw Hua Qingyan's smiling expression, she understood that she was afraid that she could eat something soft and sticky!

Sure enough, I heard Hua Qingyan say with a smile: "This is an octopus, also called an octopus, but not a snake snake!" ”

"Sister, can you eat this?" Although she knew that anything could be turned into something delicious in Hua Qingyan's hands, Bi'er still felt that this octopus was really unsightly, and Bi'er felt that she would definitely not dare to eat this thing.

Hua Qingyan knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw Bi'er's expression, and mischievously brought the octopus that was still moving its claws to Bi'er, and when she saw her immediately jump away, her face turned green, and she laughed happily. Although the two children didn't know what their mother was happy about, they felt the same way and laughed.

"This octopus can still be eaten raw, come to Bi'er, try it!"

"Sister Bi'er, eat! My mother said it was delicious! ”

"Sister, you're so bad! I don't want to eat such a disgusting thing! Bi'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to approach Hua Qingyan at all.

"Then I'll make it delicious when I go back, and don't become a little gluttonous cat when the time comes!" Hua Qingyan pinched the octopus and shook it, her eyes full of joy.

Wuwu and Xi'er followed and clapped their hands next to him: "Little gluttonous cat, little gluttonous cat, Sister Bi'er is a little gluttonous cat!" ”

The sound of crisp laughter accompanied by the same sound of milk and milk floated unscrupulously over the lonely and empty beach, and the few people who were playing did not notice that there was a long figure standing on the steep cliff high behind them.

The man looked at the four people laughing on the beach, listening to the crisp and melodious laughter like a copper bell, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked a faint arc. He stared silently for a long time, and finally turned away, not disturbing their pleasant atmosphere.

"Xin'er, maybe you're right, as long as you stay away from that place, you can find happiness whether you are poor or rich. Look, Xiao Qingyan has found it, and the children have also found it! ”

A faint melancholy drifted in the air, Hua Qingyan suddenly looked up at the cliff, she seemed to hear something, and seemed to feel something, but there was nothing else on the cliff except for stones.

In the north of the village, the gate of the courtyard belonging to Hua Qingyan was full of people again, and some of them even couldn't stand on the other side of the river, bustling and lively. But even so, there are quite a few people coming here not far away!

However, the courtyard door of Hua Qingyan's house was closed, and no one seemed to be at home.

Hu Baizhi originally wanted to invite Hua Qingyan to the town tomorrow for a small gathering, along with Zhou Xiaoyan. The two of them saw that there were so many people at the door of Hua Qingyan's house, so they sped up their steps and walked over to take a look at the crowd!

Ho! The two of them were taken aback!

How could that thing appear at the door of Hua Qingyan's house?

The two quickly regained their composure, and when Hu Baizhi saw the people around her, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Xiaoyan, go find my father and Lizheng!" It is estimated that Qing Yan can't solve this matter! ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyan saw this situation, she understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and quickly turned around to find someone to preside over the overall situation.

Hu Baizhi opened the crowd and rushed to the front, and saw Wang Chunhua, the second daughter-in-law of the Lao Hua family, kicking the closed courtyard door one by one.

It's worth it! Hu Baizhi glared and shouted: "What is Wang Chunhua doing!" You're trespassing! If you sue the official, you can look good! ”

Wang Chunhua has been depressed recently, she has suffered a lot of white eyes and cold treatment in the old Hua family, and today she wanted to find Hua Qingyan before Yuan Ru, and find her to get rich. As long as she gets the recipe, the people of the Lao Hua family won't be able to show her face! Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of Hua Qingyan's house, he was frightened by the behemoth at the door and screamed, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment!

This shout was particularly poignant, so that the villagers who heard it couldn't help but tremble, thinking that something was wrong, and they threw down their work and rushed over. By the time Wang Chunhua finally came back to her senses, the door of this Hua Qingyan's house had been surrounded by water, and everyone's expressions were the same, and their faces were full of fear.

Wang Chunhua looked at Hu Baizhi, her movements were obviously hesitant because of her words, but the depression and fear in her heart made her have no intention of retreating. She glared at Hu Baizhi and pointed to the behemoth on the ground and said, "Even if I sue the government, I'm not afraid, look at the good things Hua Qingyan has done!" This thing has been provoked to the doorstep, if there is a bad pool, it is the villagers of the mountain village who will suffer! ”

Hu Baizhi has a strong personality, and in the spirit of helping Hua Qingyan, she immediately choked back: "Wang Chunhua, you can't talk nonsense!" How can you conclude that this thing was provoked by someone else? I said it came with you! Wang Chunhua, what are you thinking, do you want to kill the villagers of the whole village! ”

"Dead girl, you're spewing blood! Why did I, Wang Chunhua, want to harm the people in the village! It's not good for me at all! Wang Chunhua jumped to her feet in anger, she looked around nervously, and felt that the eyes of the people around her were weird and introspective!

Hu Baizhi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, her brain is spinning rapidly, and her eyes are rolling before she retorts: "I spew blood, so aren't you?" You Wang Chunhua is a well-known greedy and cheap person in the village, so you may be playing some crooked idea! She said with her chin a little bit of the closed courtyard door of Qingyan's house, "Qingyan has no grudges with us, she even helps the villagers earn more silver, if she wants to say that she will harm the backer village, my Hu family is the first to believe it!" ”

As soon as Hu Baizhi's words came out, everyone echoed them, they watched the carriage of Guanlanju in the town pull a lot of cauliflowers out of Hua Qingyan's house in the morning, thinking that the cauliflowers in their vegetable field were already the size of a fist, and it would not be long before they could be sold to Hua Qingyan for silver! It's not that they haven't thought of selling it directly to Guanlanju or the restaurant in the town, but the price is only half of what Hua Qingyan gave! Look, Hua Qingyan, that's for the benefit of the villagers! How could it hurt the hearts of the villagers!

"You said that it is not good to hurt everyone, so it is good for Qingyan? She still has a business with Guanlanju, and the cauliflower has to be collected from everyone, which hurts everyone, what does she do to trade with Guanlanju! I believe that everyone will not do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves! What's more, she is good-natured, but she is different from your old flower family who sells people's children and drives people to a dead end! ”
