Chapter 27: Healing Oral Diseases
At this moment, on a deserted island hundreds of miles away, two men who looked like savages were each holding a piece of wood carved in sharp stone.
"Daddy, let's carve two leaves, can anyone really understand?"
The taller man gave his son a blank look.
"I want to engrave our names, but I can't call either of us. You too, why didn't you go alive when the third grandfather taught me to write my name, and now I can't even write my own name. ”
Hearing Daddy's dislike of him, Ye Hai opened his mouth to explain, but he felt that it was unnecessary.
Why did I insist on not going to the third grandfather's house to learn my own name, because my grandmother was in a bad mood because her aunt was divorced a few days, and every time she was in a bad mood, she would look for her aunt and sister's stubble.
If I am at home, not only can I help my sister do some work, but my grandmother will also be a little more restrained. Later, when the aunt's matter was settled, the third grandfather also followed his son to the city, so the matter of learning the name was delayed.
Ye Hai didn't want to talk about this, he hated the grandma at home very much, but Daddy didn't know why he had always been very filial and tolerant to grandma.
If you want him to blame Daddy, in fact, Daddy has always been very protective of Grandma and his sister, and he is just filial to his father and mother by himself. So Ye Hai didn't bother to mention it again, and out of sight was pure.
This time, he and Daddy's boat capsized, and no one can go back, and I don't know how the grandmother at home will make things difficult for Grandma and sister.
Ye Hai was really anxious in his heart, but there was no good way to go back.
The desert island where he and Daddy are now is something they have never encountered before when they go to sea. The island is small, almost all of it is low shrubs and tall coconut palms, and there is no wood to make a raft. At this time, he and Daddy were holding a small piece of wood with carved letters, and they were still floating on the sea and were fished up.
For more than half a year, he and Daddy have fished back a total of four slightly longer logs, and the others are all small sections in their hands, or some thin branches. I don't know what year or month it will take to save all the wood for the raft.
Ye Hai sighed and continued to carve leaves on the wood seriously. He misses his mother so much, he misses his sister so much, and he wants to drink water very specially.
He and Daddy are both very good at water, and they can't go hungry if they catch fish and catch the sea. However, there is no water to drink on the island, so I can only rely on the coconut on the tree to boil slowly. If it weren't for the frequent rain at sea, he and Daddy used a lot of coconut shells, I'm afraid they wouldn't have survived now.
Now there are a total of twenty-six coconuts on the coconut tree, and there are five or six coconut shells that can continue to boil for a while.
As for how long it can last, it depends on God's will.
"Huh! Son! It's raining, hurry, hurry!! ”
As soon as the raindrops fell, the father and son quickly threw away the wood in their hands and ran to the stone cave where they lived, taking out the coconut shells to catch the rainwater.
For a while, the two of them were busy and dizzy.
The wind and rain are blowing over there, but the sun is shining on Baoshan Island here.
After changing their clothes, the mother and daughter went out to catch the sea again. This time, Xu reassured and assured that he reluctantly persuaded his daughter to let her move alone.
By this time, the tide had receded, revealing a large wetland beach. Her eyes swept over and she spotted a guy digging into the sand.
It was a pretty big octopus, and the ash flutter was a little inconspicuous. In a short time, it will be able to burrow completely into the sand pit and hide under the aquatic weeds.
Xu Shi directly picked up the aquatic weed, grabbed its head and pulled it out, and it was quite fat. This octopus can be sold for about five cents, which is not bad.
She stuffed the octopus into a bucket and covered it with weeds so it wouldn't be easy to escape.
The mother and daughter were busy working on the beach, the other searching the reefs, until the tide rose, and returned to safety with a load of seafood.
Ye Yu caught seven or eight more blue crabs today, and five or six fist-sized oyster snails were also picked up, and a large number of spicy snails were pulled. Because octopuses like to burrow, she also found three octopuses when she was digging for crabs.
Xu's harvest is also good, the octopus picked up six and is now swimming against the wall of the barrel, it seems that they want to run. There were also three dead fish and two live fish in the bucket. She had seen dead fish, and the gills were very fresh, and she thought that they died at low tide.
This fish can also be sold, but the price is not as good as that of live fish.
"That's good! From now on, I will come to the sea with you every day. ”
Xu really thinks that this Baoshan Island is good.
As soon as she arrived, she was in good health, and her husband and son also had news. Now that I live on the island, I can catch the sea with my daughter to make money, and my life is really promising.
"A-Niang, I'll take these seafood to the dock to sell them in a while, do you have anything else to bring back besides the jars?"
"It's really ......"
Xu's face flushed slightly, and even if there was no one around, she deliberately lowered her voice.
"Go to the cloth village for A-Niang to buy some rags and come back."
Ye Yu was only stunned for a moment, and soon understood. A-Niang is going to buy some rags and come back to make menstrual belts, and after a few days, she will be uncomfortable every month.
But I've already bought sanitary napkins......
No, she didn't talk much because her tongue hurt a little yesterday, and she couldn't explain the purpose of many things she bought, like those bags of sanitary napkins.
"Auntie, you don't need to buy it, wait for me to come back and show you something good."
The sanitary napkin couldn't be explained clearly for a while, and Ye Yu hurried to the dock to come back after selling fish and crabs earlier.
"By the way, A-Niang, when I go out in a while, you will stay in the grass hut and don't come out. If the black dog comes over to keep warm, you cut some meat for him to eat. ”
"Okay, I know you can rest assured."
Xu helped carry the bucket to the raft and watched his daughter's raft drift away before returning to the hut.
She is now feeling recovered, but her physical strength is still not as good as that of her daughter. If she is asked to row the raft alone for most of the hour, then she may not be able to paddle back if she goes. So going to the dock to sell things can only work hard for the time being, and my daughter can only work alone.
When she takes care of herself, she won't let her daughter work so hard after her body recovers completely.
Ye Yu didn't feel hard, and now that she knew the news that Daddy and her eldest brother were very likely to be alive, she was very excited. I didn't feel tired after rowing for most of the hour to the pier, and as soon as I got ashore, I quickly found a place to set up a stall.
Today she was particularly unusual, and a few fishermen next door unconsciously looked at her several times.
"Auntie, today's octopus is fat, come with two?"
"Eldest sister, buy two crabs today and get a handful of spicy snails, do you want to buy some?"
"Uncle......
A few fishermen listened to her, and they talked a lot, but they didn't stammer, but they suddenly reacted violently.
This girl's problem with her inability to speak is gone!
It's really strange that this kind of tongue problem can be cured??
