Chapter 68: Catching the Sea (2)
The Luo family came early, and there were not many people on the beach. As far as the eye can see, there are large patches of seaweed and kelp resting on the beach.
After Ziming and the others picked up enough kelp, they set their eyes on the animals hiding in the sand.
The Ziming siblings are experienced, and a bulging bag or a blowhole on the beach can identify prey. Sometimes it's palm-length razor clams, and sometimes it's a beautiful cat's eye snail. I also caught five or six beautiful blue-purple orchid crabs. It didn't take long for a small bucket full of seafood.
Ling Mei is purely here to join in the fun, but gradually discovers some patterns. Coupled with the space in the body, the eyesight seems to be sharper, Zixuan and Zichun have also harvested a lot of razor clams and shellfish under her guidance.
Zixuan said happily: "Ling Mei's eyes are so vicious. It's as good as my brother. ”
Zichun was also rejoicing: "I won't be scolded by my mother when I go back this time." ”
Ling Mei was stunned when she heard this. Secretly sad for Zichun. In this family, she probably doesn't have the opportunity to fall in love freely. The final outcome may be to accept the blind date arranged by the parents, and then marry a man who can give the highest bride price. Then he gave birth to children and worked hard all his life. How many women's lifetimes are this? Their youth, their ideals, and their egos are all annihilated in the cage of arranged marriages.
In the space, the gold ingots suddenly said: "You turn forward, I found something good." ”
Ling Mei Yiyan waded into the slightly cool seawater. The sea water brushes the surface of the feet, as gentle as the finest silk, and a little itchy.
She followed the instructions of the gold ingots and turned to the back of the reef forest.
Zi Ming's exclamation sounded behind him: "Ling Mei, it's dangerous there." Don't mess around! ”
The reef is rugged, usually submerged in the sea, and the surface is slippery, what if you fall and get hurt?
However, Ling Mei crawled up and down between the reefs steadily, shuttling left and right, as light as a swallow. Ziming Wow exclaimed: "Good skills! ”
Jin Yuan Bao said disdainfully: "After drinking so much of my spiritual spring water, can't you lose weight and be healthy?" ”
Ling Mei carefully explored the reef submerged in the water, and after a few turns, she finally found something good.
A nest of sea cucumbers gathers on the edge of the reef.
Ling Mei swallowed: Oh my God. In the previous life, there were seven or eight thousand pounds of sea cucumbers. There are thirty or forty of them here, and they are big and full!
The net in her hand was finally useful. After scooping lightly, I caught more than a dozen.
Only then did she realize that many sea cucumbers were actually surrounding a huge sea cucumber king!
Jin Yuan Bao was a little disappointed, and said lazily: "Why is it a sea cucumber king?" Forget it, it's going to be done. You send the sea cucumber king in. ”
Ling Mei slammed into the net, covering the sea cucumber king and sending it into the space.
The gold ingots laughed at her again: "What's the hurry, they can't run." ”
Ling Mei laughed. In the excitement, I forgot that the sea cucumber moves slowly, not like fish, shrimp and shellfish that move fast. So she took it all into her pocket like a carrot, and she was happy in her heart, and she could make a small profit again.
It seems that these sea cucumbers are not the treasures that gold ingots expect. So she finished collecting the sea cucumbers and carried the bucket to continue the search.
Well, if you sprinkle some spiritual springs in the sea, can you attract abalone, pearl oysters or other precious marine resources?
The gold ingot laughed at her: "It will definitely attract sharks." ”
Frightened, Mei immediately dispelled her thoughts.
She frowned and asked, "What exactly are you talking about?" ”
The gold ingot was silent for a moment and sighed: "Forget it." Go back. ”
Ling Mei was unwilling: "What's wrong?" ”
"I feel that this spiritual power is buried deeply, deeply. It may be a long-distance ship that sank in the depths of the sea thousands of years ago. With our current spiritual power, we can't dig it out. ”
Ling Mei couldn't help but feel sorry and comforted it: "Wait for a few more decades for our technology to develop, I will take you to the deep sea to hunt for treasures!" ”
The harvest of sea cucumbers was good enough and abundant, and when Mei was about to return, a large mass of white drift suddenly floated on the surface of the sea.
"How can anyone litter?"
She scooped up the garbage casually, and a fishy smell came in the wind.
The gold ingots screamed: "Trash? You think it's rubbish? ”
Ling Mei is puzzled, isn't this thing rubbish, is it still a treasure?
The gold ingots scolded: "Stupid humans. It's ambergris! It's worth a thousand gold. ”
Ling Mei froze and observed the drift for a long time before saying, "But it stinks." ”
The gold ingots explained: "After drying, it is fragrant. Put it away. White ambergris has not known how many hundred years have been floating on the sea. It is a hundred times more expensive than sea cucumbers, so be careful of being robbed. Ahh Luck was good. ”
The gold ingots muttered, it was nothing more than the essence of the hundreds of years of seawater that Ling Mei once picked up. It's almost like saying the word "shit luck".
Ling Maiden didn't dislike the smell anymore, and put the ambergris into the space according to his words: "Don't be greedy for my ambergris." ”
The gold ingots snorted: "Even if it has no medicinal effect and no spiritual power, what am I greedy for?" ”
When Ling Mei happily hummed a little tune and turned back to the beach, there were already many villagers on the beach who were catching the sea.
Ziming was talking to a young girl with two thick pigtails blushing. He also gave her a few orchid crabs he found. The girl smiled crookedly: "Thank you, Brother Ziming." ”
Ziming looked up and saw Ling Mei, his face turned even redder. fled from the girl's side, met Ling Mei, scratched her head and said, "I'll help you carry it." ”
As soon as he looked at him, his whole body froze.
"Sea cucumber?!" He exclaimed, "So many sea cucumbers?!" ”
As soon as he called this, the people who were chasing the sea nearby, including the girl, ran over.
The girl stared at the bucket, surprise and greed flashing in her eyes. Jiao Sheng said to Ziming: "Brother Ziming, you are so powerful. How do you find so many sea cucumbers? ”
Ling Mei glanced at the girl, with melon seed face and almond eyes, she was indeed very beautiful. And the brain is also flexible, and a "you" will return this bucket of sea cucumbers to the Luo family collective.
Ziming hurriedly said: "No, no, no." This is what Ling Mei ventured to pick up at Reef Bay. It has nothing to do with me. ”
The girl bit her lip lightly, and then glanced at Ling Mei. At first sight, my heart was filled with emotion: Xiao Lingmei? Why did she look like this?
She thinks she is outstanding, but compared with Ling Mei's bearing, it is difficult not to be ashamed. There was a sour feeling at the bottom of my heart. She smiled and said, "Ling Mei, long time no see." ”
Ling Mei searched for her name in the memory of the original owner: Jin Zhu.
"Hmm." She shuddered. "You're also here to catch the sea. It's a pity that it's late. ”
Jin Zhu touched his braid and glanced at Ziming: "I was late last night." ”
Jin Zhu, like Ling Mei, is one of the few high school students in the village.
Ling Mei smiled: "Then you have to be early tomorrow." After speaking, he pulled Ziming and left.
Zichun couldn't get used to Jinzhu's style, and Zixuan muttered: "Remind your brother more." Don't let the gold beads get you stunted. He is a noble high school student, and he will marry a city man as a leader's wife in the future. It's not like our family. ”
Zixuan is only 12 years old, and it is when the love is first opened, and he understands his brother's thoughts. couldn't help complaining: "My brother worked hard to find something, and he said that he would send it." Fortunately, Sister Mei was smart, and let us get out in a few words. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll have to entangle with her. ”
Zichun couldn't help but sigh again: "But she is a high school student, and she is beautiful." Maybe you can really be an official lady as you wish. ”
Ling Mei smiled when she heard this, and changed the topic: "There are so many sea cucumbers, we will share one cent of the money from the sale." ”
Zichun was startled: "How can it be done?" You've found it. ”
Ling Mei secretly thought that with her mother's temper, even if she found it all by herself, she would have to scrape some points for her mother's family. She smiled mysteriously and whispered, "This is the private money I left for you." You can't tell anybody. ”
Zixuan still wanted to refuse, but Zichun had already thought of the trouble that might cause after these sea cucumbers were brought home. She pulled Zixuan and said, "Thank you Ling Mei yet." ”
Zixuan knew that she had change too, so she was so excited that she walked on the beach and jumped around.
"Let's go. We shifted positions. Zichun pointed to the distance, "I know that there is a tidal flat, and there are often good goods." ”
So after sweeping the beach, the Luo family children turned around and continued to catch up with the sea.
