Chapter 17 Shashi Village
Ziyu, who was full of confidence, took out a large wooden barrel and iron clips under the cover of the mule cart, and waved his hand excitedly.
"Xiao Luo, my brother will take you to pick up seafood!"
"Oh! Let's pick up seafood! ”
Xiao Douding, who doesn't understand anything, as long as it is what his brother says, he will actively support it.
Fortunately, when they went out, the brothers changed into a gray muslin short, so that they would not be too obtrusive on the beach.
Ziyu, who only knows how to eat seafood habits, is a little dumbfounded when she stands on the beach, because she doesn't know where to start, and she doesn't know how to find edible seafood.
The mule consciously followed the unscrupulous owner, snorting twice from time to time to show its displeasure.
I don't know where to find Ziyu, so I have to pick up the seaweed and kelp that have washed ashore to see if there are any small crabs and shrimp that have slipped through the net.
Seeing this, the positive Xiao Luo directly lifted his hand, pointed to a small crab crawling out of the seaweed and shouted.
"Brother, brother, has eight legs."
"Hahaha, stupid Xiaoluo, that's called a little crab."
"Scratch, scratch!"
Seeing that the little crab was about to crawl away, Xiao Luo was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he didn't dare to catch it, just a vigorous babble.
The startled sound of the two attracted the onlookers of three seven or eight-year-old children not far away, and the coarse arrowroot cloth on their bodies could transmit light in some places.
"Hey, where are you from?
This is the territory of our Shashi Village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit casually. ”
The tallest boy of the three looked warily at the stranger in front of him, and from the white complexion of the two of them, he judged at a glance that he was not from the surrounding village.
rummaged for a while and only harvested two small crabs, and glanced at the razor clams in the three little black baby buckets, all of which were fat and a palm long.
"We are from Shangdufu, this is my brother, how about selling me the contents of your bucket?"
The eyes of the three of them lit up, they usually picked them up and ate them for themselves, and it was the first time they had heard that long shells could be exchanged for money.
"Can you really exchange copper coins? You can't lie to us, do you? The tall boy didn't believe it.
There are the most such things in the sand by the sea, and only their children will pick them up and cook white water to eat and play.
"Come on, let's talk about the price!"
Ziyu visually observed that the razor clams in their buckets were about three catties, and smiled like a fox.
"Five cents per person, pour it into my bucket and give you money immediately."
In order to make her words more credible, Ziyu took out fifteen copper coins and showed them to the three of them.
"Whoa!"
Without Ziyu saying anything, the three of them poured the long shells they had just dug into the vat, and the three pairs of eyes fell on the copper coin in her palm and sparkled.
Copper coins have been seen but never owned by them.
"Here, five for one person!"
"Thank you, Childe!"
The tall boy was the first to take the copper plate in his hand and thanked Ziyu with joy, while the other two younger children grabbed the copper plate and ran.
The monkey was anxious, for fear that Ziyu would catch up and snatch it back.
"Childe, will you come back tomorrow?" The tall boy trotted two steps, paused and looked back and whispered expectantly.
"Don't be in a hurry, kid!
When the tide goes out, you'll usually be able to pick something up. ”
Ziyu glanced at Xiao Luo, who was squatting in front of the wooden barrel and looking at the strangeness, and smiled kindly when facing the child, but the child was so frightened that the child clenched the copper plate in his hand and took two steps back.
"Childe, after the tide is low, we generally like to pick up fish, and everything else is picked up and fed to the chickens and ducks."
Ziyu was almost angry, she didn't live as comfortable as chickens and ducks, and she saw that everyone was eating seafood.
She is still struggling with two little crabs, and there is really no comparison.
"Child, can I borrow a few days from your village?"
It's hard to get a glimpse of the ancient sea, how could Ziyu give up this rare opportunity.
…
"Xiaohai, Xiaohai, my son!
Where are you? ”
"Hey, that person from the other village is not allowed to touch my people from Shashi Village, something is coming at us."
……
Several adult men and women ran towards this side with nail rakes and flat poles, and Ziyu's heart tightened.
[What is this?] 】
She didn't care about getting close to the child, holding Xiao Luo in one hand, and not forgetting the barrel in the other, and jumped on the mule cart that had been following her.
"Xiao Luo, hide!"
Zi Luo put down the baffle, sat in the rush seat, held the whip, and stared at the five adult men and women who came with a tight face.
[Damn, these people are pirates who can't get ashore, and they shout and kill without even hitting them. 】
[I'm really in a hurry, don't blame her for slaughtering the village! ] 】
"Mother, I'm here!
I'm fine, aren't you resting at home?
How did you get out? Xiao Hai ran forward to support the woman who was panting and crying with tears on her face.
"Woo, you're fine, I'm scared to death.
Xiao Luo Niang came to spread the word that there was a kidnapper from outside the village and deceived you with copper coins, and she could still lie down for her mother.
Go home with your mother quickly, and you are not allowed to contact people from other villages in the future. ”
Xiao Hainiang spat viciously at the mule cart, and when she saw Ziyu's white appearance, she didn't look like a good person.
"Mother, Xiao Luo Niang is talking nonsense, here's the thing!"
When Xiao Hai explained to the five adults, he glanced at the direction of the mule cart from time to time, and saw a general Ziyu exhaled.
I really thought that she was going to fight in a group, although she was a good fight, but it was the best choice to be a civilized person.
Ziyu, who wanted to spend a few days in the village, also completely dispelled this idea.
After all, different villages have their own rules, so it's better for her not to touch them.
The five men and women who already knew what had happened were a little embarrassed to put away the guys in their hands, and a man of nearly forty took the initiative to step forward.
"Little boy, I wronged you just now, please don't blame Xiao Hainiang.
I don't know what seafood you want to buy, every household in the village has some dry goods, all of which are good goods that you are reluctant to eat on weekdays. ”
"Your battle is really scary, and those who don't have the guts have already been scared away." Ziyu waved the whip in her hand and quipped.
The people who came were all dressed in thick kudzu cloth, with patches at the joints, and their dark faces were covered with wind and frost.
"Hahaha, little boy is atmospheric!
We can't help it, there have been a few children in the village before, all of them are the meat that fell from the mother's body, which is not heartbroken. The man explained with a black red face.
"Caution is what it should be, I want to collect some fresh goods, all the fish, shrimp and crabs that can be eaten in the sea, of course, it must be big and fat.
Dry goods are also required, as long as the quality of the goods is good, they are purchased at the market price, regardless of how much. ”
"When will Childe want it? Everyone in the village called me Shuiwa, because I was good at water, so everyone gave me this name. ”
The middle-aged man water baby hurriedly reported his home, he often dives because of his good water nature, and the good goods stored at home are the most and the best quality.
He dared to say second, and no one in the village dared to call him first, just so confident.
Those who came to the village to receive the goods were given too low a price, so they were reluctant to sell.
