Not to mention mangroves in this area, there are not even a single more than one of those messy marine plants, and everyone can only stand under the scorching sun and wait for the two of them to come back from the sea.

At first, everyone waited quietly, but as time went on, perhaps to distract themselves, most of them began to talk to each other.

The fishermen who put down their work and came over to join in the fun couldn't help it, one of them probably saw that Xu An was young and easy to talk, so he came to Xu An's side and pulled Xu An's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the sea?" ”

Xu An turned his head and glanced at this person, he was very familiar, he should have seen it many times, but he didn't know who this person was, and replied vaguely: "I don't know yet, we just received a call to come here and wait for news." ”

After the two of them were talking, three more fishermen came over and listened to Xu An's words completely.

Just when the three younger fishermen regretted not hearing the gossip, a thoughtful look appeared on the face of the older fisherman, and after being silent for about two seconds, he suddenly spoke: "I heard you just say that the mud here is all hot, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu An nodded, looking at the old fisherman's expression, feeling that he seemed to know something: "Uncle, do you know what's going on?" ”

The old fisherman suddenly looked up at the sea, his eyes lost focus, his eyebrows suddenly raised and wrinkled, his mouth moved several times, and finally he slowly told the old things he knew.

"My father and grandfather were fishermen, and when I was a kid, when I heard them talk about fishing at sea, I sometimes mentioned a strange spring. Of course, the spring is their name, not an official name."

The old fisherman's voice was not loud but not small, at least Uncle Liang who was standing near Xu An also heard it, and when he turned around, there was a lot of movement, and the other people who were anxiously waiting also turned their heads to look over.

That spring, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is steaming, my grandfather specially tried the sea fish that no one wants, and the fish can be scalded in it. Everyone thought that this spring was not a good omen, so they took bamboo and surrounded it. I don't know if it's because of this, but then the spring got smaller and smaller, and the temperature got lower and lower, until it disappeared completely."

And what's going on?

After hearing this, Xu An immediately turned his head to look at the eldest second grandfather among all the people present in Xujia Village, hoping to get certification from the second grandfather. Unexpectedly, the second grandfather was also frowning at this time, with a thoughtful look. On the contrary, Uncle Dongliang, who was standing next to Xu An, suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly in a sudden realization.

"I talked about this with those fox friends and dog friends when they had supper, and the man's father also said this, his father couldn't eat eggs at home at that time, and every time he went to sea, he carried one in his arms, and when he got to the sea, he deliberately ran to this spring to scald eggs to eat! After being so sneaky and hot for more than a year, his grandmother thought that there was a thief in the house, and she didn't steal eggs to eat! ”

Uncle Dong Liang said and gestured to the old fisherman: "When the spring was noticed by everyone, it was a hug wide, and it slowly expanded a little bit every day in the next few months, and finally the diameter could be more than three meters, isn't it?" ”

"I don't know." The old fisherman shook his head and explained: "My father has been out to sea for two or three years, and then he will no longer go to sea, and I have never gone out again, I have listened to my grandfather." ”

"Dongliang, did you just mean the spring?" Professor Yu seemed to forget that he was standing on the mud that was almost knee-high in the mud, and he was about to walk this way when he raised his foot, and almost fell into a. Fortunately, Professor Yu's four students were quick to hold him up, so he didn't fall headlong in the mud.

"Yes, but I've heard it before, and I haven't seen it." Uncle Dongliang scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Listening to what that person said, it is estimated that it was twenty or thirty years ago."

"That's almost, that's almost!" Professor Yu muttered to himself, his whole face stretched, as if he had figured out some major problem, turned his head to look at the second grandfather, and shook the second grandfather's hand with a smile: "Old village chief, your village is blessed!" What a blessing! ”

Professor Yu's two sentences directly pulled everyone's hearts to their throats, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for Professor Yu to say specifically where the 'blessing' came from. But Professor Yu was not afraid of everyone's gaze, and left a sentence of 'It's a good thing, but let's wait for the results to come out', so he turned his head and looked at the sea with a smile, leaving everyone looking at each other to ignore it.

Riddler, what an abomination!

It's just that his mouth is on Professor Yu's face, and he doesn't want to say that everyone can't force him to say it, so he has to wait for the two frogmen to come up while talking.

At this time, only Xu An lowered his head, looked at the slightly warm mud on his hands and fell into thought, as the memories in his mind continued to surge, a trace of joy appeared on Xu An's face and quickly spread to the whole face, and the corners of Xu An's mouth were almost under the root of his ears.

He just felt that something was wrong with the temperature of the silt alone, but he didn't have any ideas, but with the springs and scalding fish and eggs that the fishermen said just now, a slightly ridiculous idea appeared in Xu An's mind.

Could it be that this so-called spring is a hot spring? Isn't a medium-hard egg a hot spring egg?

Just, can there be a hot spring in the sea? Aren't hot springs usually on land?

I wiped my hands on the clean part of my clothes, reached into my trouser pocket, pulled out my phone, opened my browser, and typed the word 'hot spring' into the search bar. Xu An hesitated for a second before pressing the search button, returned to the input interface, and added the word 'sea' in front of the word 'hot spring' before pressing the OK button.

The tidal flat is a bit far from the signal tower, and it took a while for the web page to load.

Between 1977 and 1992, several geological survey teams carried out surveys in the area and determined that the seaside was a natural hot spring, which was developed and constructed in 2009 under the leadership of the local government.

There really is! Xu An felt that his breathing had stagnated for a whole second!

The only difference is that it is an open-air hot spring, and now the spring in the tidal flats of Qianhai Town seems to be in the sea, and I don't know if it is difficult to develop

Suddenly there were two circles of ripples on the calm sea, and then two black, sleek heads appeared in everyone's sight, and the two frogmen who had just descended came up, returning with photographs taken with professional machines and samples collected!

Uncle Dong Liang stood next to Xu An, Uncle Dong Liang stood next to the second grandfather, and Professor Yu stood next to the second grandfather.

It was a high and bulging crack, and in the photograph it was not only bubbling but also smoking, surrounded by strange marine plants with white rhizomes and bright red heads.

Most of the photos in the back are the same as above, and even if there is a difference, it is only the angle and terrain that have changed, and the basic structure is no different.

After carefully going through all the photos, Professor Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He held the second grandfather's hand again, and this time he didn't sell Guan Zi again, but said loudly: "Congratulations to the old village chief!" There's a spring, a spa."

The moment he heard the 'hot spring spring', the second grandfather remembered the words that Xu An bragged about at a private dinner not long ago.

Tourism development. Tidal flat economy is mutually beneficial'

Without waiting for Professor Yu to finish the rest of his words, the second grandfather showed everyone that he should not have a strong physique at his age. Even in the knee-high mud, the second grandfather could walk like a fly, walking towards the shore at a speed of more than one meter in a stride, walking on the asphalt road, riding straight on Xu An's small tricycle, and driving away

It was only at this time that Xu An, who realized it later, reacted, and the car keys in his pocket disappeared.

At this time, both the villagers of Xujia Village and the onlookers reacted that the hot spring that appeared in the middle of the sea more than ten or twenty years ago was actually a hot spring spring! There was an uproar on the field, and all kinds of speculations emerged one after another.

Professor Yu looked at the old village chief who had disappeared without a trace, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

This old village chief is really old and strong, and he acts decisively and resolutely! Although it is a good thing to have hot springs, if you want to develop it, you have to have professional geological surveyors come here to investigate and study, and it will take at least half a year to determine it.

However, if you can be sure that the tidal flats here have changed because of the hot springs, you can rest assured that your own research and the development of the tidal flats in Xujia Village will not change because of the appearance of this spring, and everything can be done according to the original plan.

After Xu An reacted, he immediately felt sorry for everyone in Qianhai Town in his previous life, sea hot springs! A hen that lays golden eggs! Just because of a little dirtiness between several villages, the people of the entire Qianhai Town are holding on to the golden rice bowl to ask for rice!

But now that I think about it, could the few villages with low production in the previous life be caused by the existence of this hot spring spring?

In the same situation, there was no capable person like Professor Yu in his previous life to investigate, so he missed it so stubbornly; With Professor Yu in this life, this spring was discovered, and only then can I see the light of day!

Thinking of this, Xu An suddenly realized that perhaps he was the biggest hero. Well, Li Xindong is also counted as half.

If Li Xindong hadn't gone to the tidal flats to catch jumping fish, he would not have thought of the unimpressive jumping fish breeding in his previous life, he would not have proposed breeding jumping fish to the second grandfather, and the second grandfather would not have gone to other provinces to investigate, and he would not have met Professor Yu and brought Professor Yu back
