Zhao Dahai got into the mangrove forest, bent over and walked five or six meters, there was a small puddle, to be precise, it was just a little water, but it had just come out of the mud, there was a little mix, the sun had completely sunset, the mangrove was dark, not his own eyes couldn't find that there was a blue crab hiding here, the whole body was buried in the mud, and when the flashlight swept over, it just swept until the two eyes that had just been exposed emitted a blue light.

Zhao Dahai pinched the blue crab and grabbed it, and looked at it, it was not particularly big, only half a catty, and it was thirty or forty yuan.

Yes?!

It's high tide?!

Zhao Dahai drilled out of the mangrove forest, and immediately found that the water level in the trench had risen, and stepped on it a few times, and the mud on the soles of his feet began to creak out. It's really starting to rise in tide. There are indeed blue crabs in the mangrove forest and there are more and more of them, but it is important to make money and live more, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and you can't be greedy. Once the water rises, all the mangroves are flooded, especially at night, which is very dangerous.

Zhao Dahai quickened his pace, walked forward along the small ditch, half an hour smaller, arrived at the small clearing, picked up the mud snails and sea melon seeds that had been packed in the net bag in the morning, hung the net bag with the blue crab on the flat shoulder, and found a place to hide the hoe, so many blue crabs, they will definitely come tomorrow, and they have to be brought back again, there is no need, walk out quickly, the mangrove forest has seen water, hurry up, hurry up, go as fast as you can at this time.

Zhao Dahai drilled out of the mangrove forest, panting heavily, his whole body was covered with sweat, the sea breeze blew and couldn't help but have a cold shiver, the flashlight shone under his feet, and the sea water had reached his ankles.

Zhao Dahai shook his head, he was a little careless, patronizing the time that he ignored when catching blue crabs, don't look at the current water is not high, but it will be able to reach his knees in another twenty minutes. In half an hour and forty minutes, the mangrove forest behind him will be submerged, and next time you must be mentally aware of the time, and you will definitely not be able to be like this again, and be careful to be able to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Zhao Dahai stepped on the rising sea water and walked to the shore, put down his burden, while resting, while waiting for the sea water to rise, he carefully washed the mud snails and sea melon seeds, picked up just wanted to go to the village, looked down at the net bag containing the blue crab in his hand, remembered the thing he was fishing for crab goby a few days ago, turned a corner, and walked in the dark on a road that few people usually walk, the village wharf, there must be a lot of people at this time, you have to bypass, passing by there must be someone who saw the blue crab they dug The trail took about an hour longer, but no one was encountered along the way.

Zhao Dahai was dozens of meters away, and saw his grandmother Zhong Cuihua standing at the door, quickened his pace, and walked directly into the yard without saying hello.

"At first glance?!"

Zhong Cuihua closed the door casually.

He put down the sea melon seeds and mud snails towards the sea, hung them in a net bag on a flat shoulder, picked them off and handed them to Zhong Cuihua.

"Yo!"

"That's a lot!"

Zhong Cuihua took it and looked down, a heavy, full bag of blue crabs.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, took the kettle, took the bowl, poured the water and drank two bowls in succession, wiping the corners of his mouth.

"Hey!"

"Isn't that right?!"

"Seven or eight are one or two catties, and five or six are a little smaller, but they are all more than half a catty."

"I guess no one has been in the mangrove forest for a long time."

"The size of the blue crab is really good, and there are quite a few of them."

Zhao Dahai is very happy, after a hard day's work, the harvest is good, nothing is better than this.

Zhao Dahai told Zhong Cuihua that he had left the mangrove forest early, and deliberately waited for the sea tide to come up and wash the mud and sea flowers and melon seeds, mainly to avoid people, and took a long detour, so he came back at this time. Zhong Cuihua has lived in a fishing village all her life, and she knows very well the time of the tide, the tide has risen, and she has not come back yet, worrying about what will happen, she is very nervous, so she stands at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhong Cuihua nodded, she was really in a hurry just now, she must take a detour to avoid people, the first day she entered the mangrove forest, Zhao Dahai definitely didn't run all the places where she could, no one knew, she could go in in the next few days, and then find some blue crabs. Otherwise, as soon as the news is comfortable, tomorrow the tide will recede, and I don't know how many people will drill the mangroves.

Zhong Cuihua carefully put down the blue crab and walked into the kitchen, where the prepared meal was served on the table in the courtyard, and the steamed pork belly exuded a tangy aroma.

Zhao Dahai took the drained bamboo basket, filled the sea melon seeds he picked back and washed them, heated the big iron pot and put the oil, patted two garlic sea melon seeds and poured them down, opened their mouths for five or six minutes, poured some soy sauce and salt, loaded them out and put them on the table together, and then they and Zhong Cuihua began to eat. After a whole day of drilling in the mangrove forest, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and I ate quickly in large gulps. After eating two large bowls of rice and a few pieces of salted pork belly, he slowed down his movements, reached out and grabbed a handful of sea melon seeds, and put them in his mouth one by one.

Zhong Cuihua took a small bite of her meal, looking up at Zhao Dahai from time to time.

Zhao Dahai finished eating, rested for half an hour, began to work, took a big iron basin, took out all the blue crabs in the net bag, dismantled the vines, re-tied them with ropes, tied them and checked them again, and made sure that there was no problem with the ties, the blue crabs were very fierce, and the sense of territory was very strong, and if several blue crabs were placed together, they would definitely fight, and the tongs and claws would be knocked out, and they could not be sold at a good price. A dozen blue crabs can be sold for hundreds of yuan, and if you have to save money to repair the fishing boat, you can't be careless.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen, the diameter of one meter of the big iron pot put water, the fire boiled, out of the yard, two net bags containing mud snails and sea melon seeds, carried to the bottom of the faucet to put water and rushed, the mangrove forest was washed, the seaside was specially washed twice, carefully washed again, although it could not be very clean, but it will certainly not be particularly dirty, first the mud snail and then the sea melon seeds with the net bag directly into the big iron pot of boiling water, add firewood, the fire burned bigger, all of them were opened and picked up with a large iron basin and brought to the hall, Grandma had been waiting for the green flowers for a long time, and the two of them began to remove the mud and the flesh of the sea melon seeds, and they were busy until two o'clock in the morning.

"Grandma."

"It's late."

"You go to sleep."

"I'll do the rest of the work."

Zhao Dahai had already called Grandma and Cuihua to go to sleep two hours ago, but he didn't agree, so he had to help himself.

Zhong Cuihua nodded.

Zhao Dahai helped Zhong Cuihua to sleep in the back room, waited for the light to be turned off before coming out, and continued to work.

Put up the shells of the mud snails and sea melon seeds, pour them out of the house, find a few dustpans and clean them, spread out the meat of the mud snails and sea melon seeds that have just been removed, and put them in the yard to dry.

Zhao Dahai finished all this before taking a bath, it was already four o'clock in the morning, as soon as he lay down and fell asleep, the rooster in the village had already begun to come and go to see who was louder.
