Chapter 217: The "Locusts" in the Sea

The next day, the sky looked even worse, and when I woke up in the morning, it looked gray and drizzling.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help frowning when he looked at the sea, the wind was not as strong as the previous two days, but the waves were still there.

His 1,000 hooks are still at sea, and I don't know if the buoy will be lost by the waves, disturbing, and the ground cage net is also at sea, and I haven't collected it for 3 days, and if I don't go today, the fish and shrimp in the cage will be broken.

"Ah Qing, I'll go out and collect the goods from the cage."

"It's a wave, it's raining, and you just ...... cold."

"It's okay with a little rain, the waves are not as big as the previous two days, I didn't go to the open sea, just collect the ground cage along the coast, it's okay."

Lin Xiuqing glanced outside the house, frowned, and said, "Then you be careful and put on your robe."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong picked up the coat hanging behind the door and took the bucket and walked out, Ye Yaohua and Ye Yaopeng saw that he was going out in the rain, so they hurriedly asked him why he was going?

"Go collect a cage and come back."

Leaving a word, he walked out without stopping.

There are large and small boats floating outside the dock, and the weather has been bad in recent days, and no boats have gone out, and even the acquisition point has not opened.

Today, too, there is no one in the deserted, which is a huge contrast compared to the excitement of people coming and going in the past.

Ye Yaodong approached the shore of the pier with a bucket, but looking at it from a distance, he always felt that something was wrong on the reef covered by sea water outside the pier.

How do you feel that the reef has become colorful?

Looks yellow and purple? Seems to be moving?

He walked forward quickly in the rain with question marks on his head, but his eyes widened in surprise, "it...... Starfish??? So many?"

On the underwater reef wall as far as the eye can see, it is the starfish whose dense tentacles are moving!

At present, the tide is in a state of low tide, but the tide does not recede, although the reef on the shore is submerged in the seawater, he can still clearly see that on the reef under the water, there is a continuous sea starfish, his mouth is wide open, and he is lying in the groove again and again......

Getting closer, although the sea was a little muddy, he could still faintly see that there were large yellow-purple starfish lying on the beach below, after all, its color was quite bright.

"Grass, when will this be picked up?"

He was happy and a little worried, he didn't have anything for these things......

Today I just want to collect a ground cage, so I carried two buckets, and I didn't even push out the board car, and I didn't have a place to put it when I picked it up, his boat was not small, and he couldn't dock in, and the water level was in a state of low tide that was too shallow.

Normally, they go out on a bus boat at high tide, then get on their own boat, and then dock their boat to the shore to load goods or things.

The water level on the shore is too shallow at low tide, two high tides and two low tides every day, and the rise and fall times are different every day, and it is easy to run aground by the shore, and you can't get out if you run aground.

In the past, the boat would come in at high tide to dock and unload, and after unloading, it would drive outside a little to dock, and then the individual let the bus boat take to the shore.

The small wooden boats are not afraid of the shallow water level, and they are all docked on the shore, but his small wooden boats have long been sold, which is sad!

His eyes scanned the surroundings, and in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he saw that Ah Zheng was with the little wooden boat!

"Good fellow, it's you! Lend me for help!"

Other people's boats are not moving, they are seen, and when the time comes, some of them will make a fuss, and theirs will definitely be fine!

He shook two buckets and walked towards their boat.

Just pick it up from the reef near where their boat docked.

From close range, he could clearly see that some of these starfish had five horns like five-pointed stars, but there were also four and six.

There are 4 rows of dense tube legs under its horns. With their tube feet, they can both catch their prey and allow themselves to cling to rocky reefs.

The large starfish on the underwater reef are more than 20 centimeters in diameter

Meters, it looks amazing, there are dense tube feet on the lower side, and the small ones are about 5-6 cm, and I don't see any smaller ones.

The starfish were all wriggling their tentacles to feed, wrapping the small vegetables on the reef, priing open a tiny hole with their tentacles, and then destroying the flesh inside.

Don't look at this starfish is very beautiful and cute, but it can eat very much, as long as it is swimming in the water, the size of the creature is smaller than it, what oysters, abalone, sea cucumbers, fish eggs, crabs and scallops all eat.

Sometimes he is ruthless, and he doesn't even let go of his own kind...

Like the locusts on the ground, it is particularly destructive, and there are very few shellfish left wherever it reaches the bottom of the sea.

And it also has a super reproductive ability, a female starfish can lay 20 million eggs at a time!

Ye Yaodong picked one up and rubbed it with his thumb in his hand, and several of its tentacles were still moving.

"Made, such a large area, the goods on the dock reef are going to be eaten up, and the sand clams under the beach are going to be eaten up."

He threw the starfish into the bucket and continued to pick it up, such a large piece, he took the lead in picking up the big one, and he didn't know when to climb up, because of the wind and waves in the past few days, no one came out of the dock, and no one even found it.

It is estimated that it must have been washed by the waves, so they appeared on the shore in large numbers to feed.

He bent over, and in a moment he had filled a bucket, twisted his waist and continued.

When he picked up two buckets, he only eliminated a small piece, and the surrounding crowds were full of starfish, which made him pick up for a day and a night, and it was estimated that he couldn't finish picking it up!

Grass, whatever, pick up as much as he can, and fill the boat before he finds it.

He poured all the two buckets of starfish into the boat, and then continued to return to load, not caring if his trousers and shoes were in the water.

Coming and going, the bucket was full and he poured it, and I don't know how many times it was poured, and the boat looked half-full, and his waist was almost gone.

I don't know when the rain will stop, and the sky looks brighter.

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and realized that it was already more than 12 o'clock, and it had been more than 4 hours since he came out, no wonder he was hungry.

"Huh? What is this?"

Ye Yaodong heard the voice and raised his eyes, "Mother? Why did you get out?"

"It's me, didn't Ah Qing say that you went out of the sea to pull the cage? How is it here? What are these densely packed? Is it a starfish?"

He affirmed, "It's a starfish, originally going out of the sea to pull the ground cage, but when I arrived at the dock, I saw that there were starfish everywhere, so I picked them up here."

My waist is about to break.

Some time ago, the pork loin felt like it was made up in vain, and it didn't work hard at a critical time, and it was all consumed here today.

When Ye Mu heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she looked at the large number of starfish here, "Why don't you know how to go back and say something?" There are so many here, when are you going to pick it up alone?"

"It's not that I thought, since I saw it, let's pick it up for a while while no one finds out. I haven't asked you yet? Why did you run out all of a sudden?"

"I watched the rain stop after eating, so I went to your side to take a look, who knew that A-Qing said that you came out to collect the ground cage, and you haven't gone back yet, and I'm worried that you have something wrong with the big waves, so I asked me to come out and take a look." You don't know how to go back and say it."

Ye Mu patted her thigh as she spoke, and said excitedly: "Hey young, I have to go back and call your father and sister, your eldest brother and second brother, and call them all out to pick them up, this is all money!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran back happily.

"Wait, mother, you can help me bring a few more sacks, and call Xiao Ah Zheng and them both ......

Nor can their ships be requisitioned in vain.

"Got it, got it......

Ye Mu's voice came from afar, and Ye Yaodong was relieved to find a higher reef and sit down, his waist was about to break, and he wanted to rest for a while.

Looking at the surrounding reefs, they were still covered by starfish, and only the surroundings where he stayed were empty.

Made, hard work

In the morning, I only picked up a small half of the place, which was really flooded.

Ye Mu went fast, and the people who called were also fast.

I saw that Father Ye and Ye Huimei took the lead in pushing the cart over, Brother Ye, sister-in-law Ye, second brother Ye, and second sister-in-law Ye also followed.

They were stunned to see starfish on the reef on the shore, which was covered with seawater.

"It's really all starfish!"

"That's a lot......

"Quick, let's go down and pick up ......."

"Adong has picked up so much?"

"You picked up this boat, huh? Why didn't you go back and say a word?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, why did he waste time going back and talking?

Shouldn't I pick up a lot of things first?

If his mother hadn't come out, he would have been able to pick it up again until it was dark or fill the boat and go back!

"Still there, why don't you pick it up?" After Father Ye said something, Second Sister-in-law Ye was immediately silenced.

Each of them shook a sack, each found a place, and excitedly began to pick up money.

The excitement prompted them to start talking again.

"Why are there so many starfish?"

"yes, how come there are so many starfish on the shore all of a sudden. All of them are quite beautiful, and I can only occasionally pick up one or two on the beach, but today I have a lot of them!"

"Is it because of the waves these days?"

"It's all in the sea, you see, it's all over the beach."

……

After a while, Ye Mu also took Ah Zheng and Xiao Shanshan to be late.

The two of them were called out by Ye's mother for some reason, and thought that Dongzi had something important, so his mother hurriedly asked them to come out with a sack.

They were all wondering, what were they doing at the docks with sacks? This is not the first day of the new year, nor is it the fifteenth, there are still waves on the sea.

They were also pleasantly surprised at a glance, and they immediately reacted, and rushed forward with Ye Mu.

Sure enough, they are good brothers, even if they think about their family members if they have good things, they actually think about them!

I was so impressed!

"Damn, you've already loaded a boat on your horse?"

"This ship sounds familiar?"

"Grass, this is our ship, are you stupid?" Xiao Xiao stared, no wonder he deliberately took a detour to call them.
