The night was long, and the cool breeze was gentle outside, but inside the house was hot and churning, and even the moon blushed and hid in the clouds.

In the early morning of the next day, the couple left their three children after eating, let them go to school and play independently, and the two of them took care of themselves.

Ye Yaodong carried the bucket and whistled towards the position where the ship docked, the wind on the shore was a little strong, although it was not yet time to wear a cotton jacket, but he was afraid that the wind at sea would be strong, so he put on a cotton jacket when he came out, and it was really a little hot at this time.

He reached out and grabbed his collar and fanned him a few times, and turned around to urge, "Hurry up, okay?" When you come out, I ask you to wear a hat and scarf, and you have to wear it again when you get to the dock, because you are afraid that others will not see your flower and moon appearance. ”

Lin Xiuqing trotted and wrapped the scarf around his face, wrapped his head together by the way, and then put on his hat and stuck it inside, so that it would not fall off.

"What are you talking nonsense? I'm not afraid of the tightness of the bag, and it will make people feel weird when they walk on the road and see it? All day long, a dog can't spit out ivory in its mouth, and when it opens its mouth to speak, it is annoying, and it doesn't go. ”

She stomped her feet angrily, and was about to go back, Ye Yaodong hurriedly ran up to grab her, and said with a smile: "Don't, I said it wrong, my wife is so good-looking, don't wrap it up, show your face to everyone to see what a beauty is." ”

Lin Xiuqing was instantly amused by him, and slapped him twice with a smile, "Hurry up and get on the boat, I'm still there with a poor mouth." ”

"Doesn't that have to coax you first? Where is it important to coax a wife on board? You can only go to bed when you coax it. ”

Lin Xiuqing didn't hear the meaning of his words, but just glared at him several times, and his mouth was very powerful all day long.

Ah Cai walked over slowly and looked at them with a smile, "Why are you two going to sea at this time?" ”

"It's nothing, she's never been to the sea as a mountain person......"

Lin Xiuqing secretly pinched his waist, Ye Yaodong gasped, and quickly changed his words, "...... The cage can be collected, I went out to collect the cage, she was curious about the open sea, so I took her out for a walk and looked at the sea......"

"The relationship between husband and wife is so good."

"It's a must", after speaking, he grabbed Lin Xiuqing again, "Let's go, get on the boat, go early and return early." ”

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly followed.

After arriving on the boat, Ye Yaodong lifted his clothes and looked at his lower back, "A man's waist is very important, don't like to pinch my waist all day long, it's okay to change your arms next time!" ”

"I'm still poor, I'm about to leave the boat, I go early and come back early, and there are two children at home, and they all say that I won't go, so they have to pull me out."

"Men and women match, work is not tiring, I am bored to go to sea alone."

Ye Yaodong touched his waist and muttered a few words before leaving the boat.

Lin Xiuqing had been standing beside him, watching him drive the boat curiously, and then looking left and right at the few boats on the shore around him that had not gone to sea and were docked there.

In the distance, there are also small wooden boats floating around on the sea.

Although she has been married for several years, she has never been to sea, either pregnant or nursing a child with a child, she feels quite fresh.

"Adong, where are we going to the isolated island?"

"Look closer, preferably a little higher, with a beach, not so steep. At this time, the tide is slowly receding, and the islands I dug at the beginning last year are okay, and I have found treasures, so I'll go and see them later. I haven't been patronized for a year, and those shellfish should have grown quite big, but I don't know if anyone in the nearby village has patronized it. ”

"Do you think there will be pearls or something?"

"Pearls are not so easy to form, it is possible to have an island that has not been visited for a long time, don't worry about those, it is good to be able to pick up a treasure, and you can return it anywhere. These are partial wealth, or you have to have more positive wealth. ”

"Zhengcai, then you can only count on you, the head of the family."

"Well, it's okay to serve me, everything is yours."

"Dead!"

Ye Yaodong laughed, he felt that he was not far from the peak of his life, there were old and young, and there were people who took care of everything every day, which was also a kind of happiness.

He hadn't visited the surrounding islands for a whole year, so he picked them at random, and planned to go to the island where the turtle had laid eggs before, and this turtle had laid one or two eggs, which was not as rare as pearls.

Adult sea turtles, no matter where they roam, travel thousands of miles back to their "hometown" every year to lay eggs.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the island in front of her getting closer and closer, and was also a little inexplicably excited, "Is it here?" Did you dig here all the time last year? ”

"Whoever can dig here, the rain and dew are even, and you can't just catch a sheep and wool."

"That's what I dug up here."

"Remember the turtle eggs?"

"Remember, is this what it is?"

"Yes, but it's cold now, and it's past the turtle spawning season, so I don't know if there are any unhatched eggs."

He felt a little hanging, it's been more than 11 months, it should be gone, but this is his temporary intention to come and see, and he was planning to dig shells.

"Hey, how do you drive this way?"

"The water level over there is too shallow, and if you can't get too close, you have to be forced to run aground, and you have to drip through the water, it's almost winter, I'm fine when I go into the water, you better not go into the water."

"Uh-huh."

After Ye Yaodong docked the boat, he helped her to carefully step on the reefs.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the reef under her feet, it was densely crawling with vegetables, and she resisted the urge to squat down and buckle it.

"There really are so many."

"Well, it's not good to stand on this top, it's slippery, go down and dig slowly."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong stepped on the edge and jumped down first, and then hugged her down.

"You can look for whatever you want, dig whatever you see, and I'll go around and around."

"What's going on? Looking for turtle eggs? ”

"No, just look around, you dig yours, don't worry about me, I won't go far, you scream if there's something, I can hear it."

"Oh."

Watching him walk forward, she obediently put on her gloves, pulled out her tools, and began to search the surrounding rocks.

She knows what can be sold for money, what can't be sold for money, and what is delicious, and plans to find one that can sell for money first.

Ye Yaodong took a spatula, walked around along the beach, dug a shovel on the beach from time to time, all of them looked at the bubble holes, dug down with a shovel, dug several pits, all of them were clams, and he was too lazy to pick them up.

When he went outside to the mud, he dug up all the razor clams, and he was a little reluctant to pick them up, but he picked them up anyway and threw them into the sack he held in his hand, and these bits and pieces were no longer in his eyes, unless there were many of them.

Ye Yaodong looked at the dense bubble holes everywhere on the ground, and knew that there must be razor clams underneath, but he felt that he had just arrived, and there was no need to spend time on this, so he went around directly, planning to wait for the surrounding area, if there was nothing better, he would come over and dig again.

He took a few steps back cautiously, and walked to the place where there were no bubble holes on the side, if he stepped on it directly, he would not be able to see the small hole, and if he came to dig it, he would not be able to identify it.

Seeing that there was a discarded bamboo piece next to him, he also took it and inserted it on the side, which was equivalent to making a mark, and it would be easy to find it when he came over.

When I came back last year, all the animals were so excited that they screamed and dug directly at the shells on the rocks, and they didn't finish shopping around, and then they changed the island again next time.

Today, he can take a turn around depending on the situation, and then think about what to dig, anyway, Ah Qing has already dug there with his eyes in his eyes, and the guarantee is there.

When he walked to the side, he saw a small pile of sand like poop on the beach of the clearing next to him......

He felt that if the two boys saw it here, they would definitely cry out with excitement......

I dug a shovel with my hand, and I found something very similar to a sand silkworm, and it was very similar to an earthworm.

It has a round head, a lot of tentacles, and an elongated tail.

Ye Yaodong muttered, "Sand clams." ”

This thing is also called a sea earthworm, and it doesn't look much different from the earthworm on land.

Their local fishermen often say that there are animals in the sea if there are animals on the ground, seahorses, walruses, sea pigs, sea snakes, and sea centipedes...... There are earthworms on land, and of course there are earthworms in the sea.

Sand silkworms can also be called sea worms, but the two varieties are different.

The sand flies dig a "U" shaped hole under the sand, lie gracefully in it, head and tail facing the two openings, and then swallow the sediment containing microorganisms and organic matter from one end, and drain the nutrient-infested sediment from the other.

That's right, just lie down and eat the buffet.

It is equivalent to eating there with the mouth, pulling there at the same time with the buttocks, pulling while eating, and the intestines are straight as ordinary people say.

That's what they did to make those little sand dunes, and they were the poop of the sand cockroaches.

Some love neatness, and the discharge is very regular, and some are more informal, and they will be discharged at will.

Ye Yaodong saw that on the right hand side was the bubble hole of the razor clams he had just avoided, and on the left hand side was full of sand poop, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, these creatures really like to concentrate, each occupying their own territory, and not interfering with each other.

He was even more lazy to dig this kind of thing, so he shoveled it twice, and he skipped it directly, stepping on the poop one by one, and seeing the lumps protruding on the beach, he wanted to step on it flat and flat.

It was as if the beach had flattened out and he felt comfortable.

It wasn't until he saw a stranded jumping fish on the beach that he stopped stepping on the poop and went to pick up the fish first.

Because the tide has just begun to recede, and the beach is not very large, he walked around the island, and the beach was completely exposed, and it was estimated that it would take three or four hours.

He picked up some stranded small seafood while shopping, with a variety of varieties, not worth anything, and could only harvest happiness.

Until he saw a low reef at a sharp 270-degree turn in front of him, and there was a large puddle around the reef.

This is revealed as the tide just goes down.
