Chapter 5 Into the Sea Again
Everyone went ashore disappointed, and they could only attribute Chen Xuan's previous harvest to luck against the sky, someone can win the lottery by buying a lottery ticket, and you can't do anything about him.
"Okay, this fishing competition, even if you win. Chen Bin said.
"What do you mean, obviously my brother won, is anyone not convinced?" Chen Xi grinned and said triumphantly, as if she was the one who won.
"I'm not unconvinced, it's true that your brother won. Chen Hua said with a smile, the others naturally have nothing to say, but what people have picked up is sea cucumbers worth 1,500 yuan, and those sea crabs and the like that they have fished up, dozens of dollars are not worth it, and there is no comparison at all.
At this moment, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran not far away, panting and shouting: "Brother Hua, Brother Bin, your father has returned from going to sea." ”
"Really?" Chen Hua and Chen Bin's eyes lit up.
"Really, their boat just stopped at the dock. The boy nodded.
"Let's go over and see. Chen Bin said excitedly.
"I don't know what the harvest will be this time. Chen Hua was also excited, going to sea to salvage, usually for a month or two, and the amount of harvest directly affects the income level. This time, their father went fishing in the ocean, which took nearly three months, and it stands to reason that the harvest would be bigger than usual. It was precisely because he thought that ocean salvage was too tiring and dangerous, so he didn't bring Chen Hua and Chen Bin this time.
As soon as they packed up their things, they were about to run to the dock, but Chen Xuan and Chen Xi did not move, obviously not planning to go over.
"Ah Xuan, Xiao Xi, aren't you going?" Chen Hua and Chen Bin and the others, not surprised Chen Xuan and Chen Xi's reaction, they all knew it. That boat was the largest fishing boat in the village, and it was bought by Chen Xuan's second uncle, and the whole village knew that because of a conflict, Chen Xuan's second uncle's family and Chen Xuan's family were very discordant, and they almost didn't get along with each other.
Chen Xuan's grandparents gave birth to four children, three boys and one girl, after the separation. Grandpa followed the eldest uncle's family, and grandma followed the second uncle's family.
Chen Xuan's second uncle is a very diligent and honest person, but it is a pity that he married a bitter wife, obviously Chen Xuan's grandmother is old, but she still has to ask her to do all kinds of housework, and even dislikes not doing well, and from time to time all kinds of falls.
Chen Xuan's father couldn't look past it, said it many times, and proposed to let his mother live with him, but the snarky second sister-in-law refused, explaining that she followed my family, why did she go to your house, others listened to it, and thought that I couldn't afford to support an old man.
Chen Xuan's father had no choice but to talk to the second brother, but unfortunately the second brother was good at everything, but he was afraid of his wife, his wife was strict, and he listened to his wife for everything. So, naturally, nothing can be done.
Therefore, the seeds of discord have long been planted. One winter, Chen Xuan's grandmother fell ill due to fatigue, and she was so sick that she almost died. Chen Xuan's father couldn't bear it anymore, had a big quarrel with his second brother and sister-in-law, and forcibly took his mother home. In that quarrel, both sides said very excessive things, and there was no contact after that.
Over the years, Chen Xuan's second uncle has become better and better, and he has become richer and richer, and the snarky second aunt has looked down on Chen Xuan's family even more.
"We're not going. Chen Xuan nodded.
"Then we're over. Chen Hua, Chen Bin and the others left, even if it was nothing to do, they ran over to watch the excitement, only Chen Xuan and Chen Xi were left.
"Brother, let's go home. Chen Xi pouted and said, feeling a little unhappy, this time the second uncle's family may have gained a lot again, and the second aunt will definitely show off everywhere again, and then insinuate to ridicule grandma and father.
"Wait, I want to go down to the sea again. Chen Xuan was not happy in his heart, if his father hadn't wanted to provide for himself and his sister to go to school, and use his savings to invest in buying a good boat, he might have embarked on the road to getting rich, and he would not have been ridiculed by his second aunt.
Chen Xuan is only a sophomore now, and he can't do anything, just thinking that if he can continue the good luck just now, it would be good to catch more sea cucumbers to help his family reduce some of the burden.
Chen Xuan went to the sea again, this time he hesitated, but he still brought his mobile phone, thinking that the time he caught the sea cucumber was to swim in the direction of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea located on the map of the Journey to the West, and going in that direction again might bring good luck again.
He opened the map of Journey to the West, which was still located in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, so he swam in that direction, and then he looked at the map carefully, and found that the "East China Sea" included a large area of sea, and the "Dragon Palace" was a smaller point, and the distance was quite far.
When he was approaching the border of the East China Sea, Chen Xuan got into the sea and continued to drill forward. This time, he also felt the change in the clarity and clarity of the sea more clearly. It's as if you suddenly got into a completely different sea.
"It's just amazing. Chen Xuan was puzzled, feeling that this was a bit mysterious. However, there was no time for him to think about it, because as soon as he looked down, he saw several behemoths, which attracted all his attention.
There were a few crabs, yellow-brown, a few smaller ones, with a dorsal armor of about 25 centimeters, and one that seemed to be a leader, with a dorsal armor of at least thirty centimeters at a glance, and the pincers were as big as a human hand. It was the first time Chen Xuan had seen such a huge crab.
"I'll go, what kind of crab is this? It's incredible that there are such big crabs on the beach in Chenjia Village. Chen Xuan was ecstatic.
In the face of such a huge crab, he had to be cautious and be pinched by such a big crab pincer, so what did he have to do?
Fortunately, these crabs are quite slow. Chen Xuan approached one, put it into the net bag, and then drew a scoop according to the gourd, and put another one. As a result, the net bag was too small to fit the two of them, so he had to take them with him and swim back to the shore.
When he brought the two huge crabs ashore, Chen Xi's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Brother, what kind of crab is this, this is too big, right?"
"Shhhhhh Chen Xuan made a gesture of silence.
"Oh my God, I've never seen a crab this big in my life. Chen Xi lowered his voice, still unable to hide his excitement, and took the bucket to catch the crabs. As a result, the barrels were too small to fit, so they had to be tied with ropes to restrict their movements.
"I seem to have heard of this crab, I'm not sure, so I looked it up on the Internet. Chen Xuan said, checked the Internet with his mobile phone, and quickly found the corresponding one. It turns out that this is called a brown crab, a very huge sea crab, of course, so huge that it is still rare.
What makes Chen Xuan and Chen Xi feel the most amazing is that it is said that brown crabs are mainly distributed in the Pacific Ocean, and they can also be found in Hong Kong waters, and they have never heard of them in this sea. Moreover, brown crabs are generally found in the deep sea, and shallow waters are rare.
"It's a bit unscientific. Chen Xuan looked suspicious, it was a bit unusual for such a big thorn cucumber to appear on the seaside, but there was still some possibility. However, the brown crab that is usually found in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean appears on this beach, but it is really difficult to say.
