Chapter 44: Divine Shrimp

On the second day, the kind-hearted villagers brought food and water, and found that no one should go to the island to check, only to find that Erya had fainted with a high fever, and he didn't even have much breath.

The little girl lost her mother at a young age, she was a well-known capable child who was sensible and hardworking since she was a child, and she was about to die alone on the island like this, and she was so desolate when she died, that many people in the village suddenly couldn't stand it. Seeing Erya's family, he scolded them for being unconscionable, and forced Erya's father to pinch his nose to pick up the dying Erya from the island.

But the person was picked up, and the quarrel at home never stopped. Of course, you can't see the doctor, it's already like this, and it's in vain to see it.

The second stepmother is arguing that she will waste a lot of money for the funeral, and she doesn't want to give this dead girl a penny.

When she thought that this girl was dead and she had to return the dowry money, her teeth itched with hatred, and it was good not to strangle her on the spot.

"If you are in charge, let's not talk about how much money it will cost. Let's just say that if she stays at home for one more day, will our son be more dangerous? You have also seen that the blisters are so dangerous, if our son is so young, don't you feel distressed? ”

The man was silent, and of course he was distressed about his son, who was nearly forty years old. Without waiting for him to speak, the old couple spoke first.

"I said to the outside world that I had swallowed my breath today, and I would find an old raft for her to put on in the evening, and make a water burial and it would be over. It's dark, and few people will see it, and no one will be so bored to check it. ”

"Yes, yes, water burial. This girl is the same as her mother, how can she be buried in the ancestral grave of our old Ye family. ”

For the sake of the grandson in the family, the old couple went out, anyway, the granddaughter is dying, what kind of quarrel.

Ye Erya's funeral was so decided, and she was sent away in the evening.

What they didn't know was that although Erya couldn't open her eyes in a coma, she could listen to the words around her.

It turned out that her grandmother, who was barely good to her on weekdays, was so indifferent and ruthless, so that she didn't care about this world anymore.

Probably because she was determined to die, the little girl's face became even more pale, as if she really swallowed her breath. A villager who had chickenpox came to see her, and she believed the family's story.

So, Erya just 'died'......

The death of a little girl did not make much waves in the village, and the villagers should go to sea, and they should work or have to work.

Each of their families received the news that Li Zheng had something to inform in the evening, and compared to what Li Zheng was about to announce, the news of Erya's family was nothing.

This is what Ye Yu and Li Zheng discussed, and when she and A-Niang set up a household today, she will announce the search reward with the villagers, and Li Zheng also needs to exchange five hundred taels for some scattered copper coins, and wait for the men to come back in the evening.

Ye Yu didn't plan to listen to it, now she spends a lot of time traveling back and forth to Baoshan Island, and she probably has to stay in the village for one night when she goes to the village in the evening, she doesn't want to.

She's got a lot to do right now.

"Fisherman! The tide is out, let's go! Let's get more seafood today! ”

When Xu thought that the crabs could be sold for hundreds of yuan, and the cup worth two thousand taels was only four yuan, the whole person was excited, and as soon as the tide was low, he hurriedly pulled his daughter out.

Ye Yu also leaned on her mother and didn't say anything to hit her.

The cups are quite expensive, and they are also vaguely expensive, so if you buy a lot of them to sell, it will be worthless. And how can she be a little fisherwoman, how can she have such a rare treasure to sell every day, it's too eye-catching.

So she shouldn't take out the cup and sell it again, and when she gets familiar with the world on Sister Sang's side, she will think about what there is that can be taken out openly to make money without eyesight.

"Fisherman! Come on, come on, there's something good! ”

Hearing A-Niang's shout, Ye Yu hurriedly trotted over with a bucket. When she saw the big guy stuck in the crack in the stone, she couldn't help but get excited.

The long tentacles are red, and the feet are very beautiful. This thing has been caught by someone in the village and caught by someone in the sea, I heard that it is called a god shrimp!

It's all called God, and this thing will naturally not be cheap. It is difficult to catch this kind of shrimp along the coast, so it is very expensive, and I heard that one can be sold for dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels of silver.

"A-Niang, this is a god shrimp, right?!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! Someone in the village caught it in the sea before, and I happened to take a few glances nearby, that's it, that's right! ”

The folds in the corners of Xu's smiling eyes came out, urging his daughter to catch them with her.

"This shrimp looks two feet long, bigger than all the ones I've seen before, and it must be worth a lot of money."

Ye Yu thought that A-Niang wanted to sell it, but after catching the shrimp in the bucket, she heard A-Niang say that she wanted her to give the shrimp to Sister Sang.

"Miss Sang treats you so well, we haven't had anything to do with it. This shrimp is quite big, I heard that the meat is also very nourishing and delicious, so I will send it to Miss Sang when you pass by in a while. ”

"Good!"

Ye Yuying was very simple, because she was already having a headache and wanted to send something to Sister Sang, and now this divine shrimp came at the right time.

After catching shrimp, the mother and daughter looked around the reef again, but they were not so lucky to catch another one, only pulling a bunch of conch and a few big oysters.

The beach exposed after the tide was so big that the mother and daughter soon separated and looked for their own place. After Ye Yu took out two crabs in a row, he suddenly saw a big shell on the beach not far away.

The shell was open, and at a glance it was clear that the meat had been eaten up a long time ago. She stepped forward to pick up the shell and prepared to take it home as a water scoop, but when she got it in her hand, she found that there were several small round bumps on the inner wall of the shell.

This is...... Pearls that haven't been formed yet, right?

Ye Yu recognized this shell, it is a pearl oyster that produces pearls. Seeing it, the little girl remembered the embarrassing scene of being rejected when she applied for a job as a pearl diver.

Last year, someone from the pearl workshop went to the village to recruit pearl diving girls, her age was just right, and the water nature was excellent, so she couldn't help but go behind her back to report her name.

As a result, the person in charge changed his face when he saw her, scolded her a few times in a row, and then drove her away mercilessly.

Alas......

Ye Yu touched the shell and exhaled, fortunately, he had an adventure, otherwise he didn't know how long he would be trapped in terms of money.

Speaking of which, it is thanks to Sister Sang's help, otherwise she would be blind over there, and if she hadn't said that she could cure her illness, she really wouldn't have the courage to go over there again.

I have to thank Sister San.

Ye Yu looked at the big pearl shell in the bucket and suddenly had an idea......

Divine shrimp is the ancient name of lobster
