Chapter 39: Wounded
The sea breeze caresses and ripples. The sound of splashing water from the net alarmed the other two groups.
They all stared at the net in Wen Xian's hand with blazing eyes, refusing to stagger their eyes.
Wen Xian let her broken hair flutter in the wind, and clenched the fishing net with both hands, not giving the fish in the net any chance to escape.
She stared at the nets, and when they were all out of the water, a big smile appeared on her face.
"Quick, bring me the straw basket, there are two groupers." Wen Xian pulled it twice and said in surprise, "There is also a squid." ”
The others are small yellow croakers and small sea fish.
She felt a little annoyed in her heart, she knew that this sea was abundant, and she should have gone to the sea to fish earlier.
On weekdays, when you catch the sea, it's good to meet a grouper, let alone two.
"Grouper?"
Xia Zhi looked at the spotted ugly fish, and there was some resistance in his heart.
Wen Xian smiled: "Don't be afraid, this fish is delicious and nutritious. The key is to have more meat, which is much better than eating clams or something. ”
These two groupers are estimated to weigh two catties each, but whoever makes them more people is not enough to eat for one meal.
This net was loaded, and the two straw baskets of her group were directly loaded with most of them.
She beckoned the nearest Hu Ke'er group to come over, and asked them to give her their own straw baskets first, and by the way, send her two baskets of fish back to the cave.
Seeing so many fish, of course they were willing, and they couldn't let Wen Xian, who was a good fisherman, run errands.
Jiang Lingling and Hu Ke'er walked directly past the two straw baskets full of fish, and walked to the shore with the support of Sheng Li'er.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingwan also followed her back. With so many fish in the hole, she was not at ease.
It's not that I'm worried about someone coming, but I'm worried about some small animals stealing food.
Wen Xian didn't care what she arranged, turned her head and threw herself into fishing again.
When they exchanged straw baskets, Fang Jiaren, Wu Junlan and Zheng Rou's group also collected a net.
However, the luck was not so good, and only a few small sea fish were caught. There are even those that are so small that they go straight out of the holes in the straw baskets.
On Wen Xian's side, the next few nets did not catch much, so she caught a few small yellow croakers and small sea fish.
Groupers and squid, but they were never caught again.
The sea water receded farther and farther, and Wen Xian looked at the grass basket with only a layer of small fish.
She kind of knows why, in ancient times, most people on the seaside didn't like to eat seafood like crabs. There is too little meat, no matter how full it is.
She sighed and said, "Let's go, go somewhere else." ”
It is estimated that she just caught the big fish in this position. Even if they didn't kill them all, they probably fled in fright.
Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui were also very regretful, so they supported each other and followed Wen Xian to continue walking towards the depths of the sea.
After several nets, except for small fish, squid and jellyfish, there were really no big fish.
"Looks like we've run out of luck today, let's go, the tide is almost out, let's go pick up something on the beach." Wen Xian looked at the sea water that was only up to her ankles, and called Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui to go back.
Even if there was a greater possibility of catching fish in the deep sea, she did not dare to go any further, only to fish in the shallow sea where the tide would recede.
They chose another way back, and as they went, they put their nets into the water and fished all the way.
I have to say that this pollution-free sea area is really rich in products. Just dragged the fishing net at will, and even caught some seaweed and octopus.
However, opportunities have always been accompanied by crises. Before reaching the shore, Zhou Hui had an accident here.
"Ahh Zhou Hui screamed, stayed in place, and quickly lifted his right foot out of the water.
Even though she reacted quickly, the water was still red. And the sole of Zhou Hui's right foot, which was lifted out of the water, was bleeding.
"Hiss~" Zhou Hui's face was pale, and she couldn't help but say, "It hurts." ”
"Don't move yet, I'll see." Wen Xian's expression was slightly condensed, she casually stuffed the fishing net in her hand into Xia Zhi's hand, helped Zhou Hui, and squatted down to look at the wound on her foot.
The blood was mixed with the seawater, and the entire soles of the feet were covered in blood, which looked very serious.
Wen Xian made a straight face, picked up the seawater and washed the soles of Zhou Hui's feet, and after seeing the wound clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a knife wound, the wound is not deep, I'll give you some medicine when I go back to the cave first, and I'll be fine in a few days." ”
It's that Zhou Hui has to be unable to move around for a while.
She thought she had been bitten by some creature, but luckily it wasn't.
Then again, knife wounds, where did the knives come from.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and said, "Don't move yet, I'll look for some kind of sharp weapon." ”
In case it is a rusty knife, there is a high risk of contracting tetanus. Tetanus can be fatal, and the slightest mistake can kill you.
"Madame, be careful."
"I'll come"
Seeing Wen Xian bending down directly to find a sharp weapon in the water, Zhou Hui and Xia Zhi both exclaimed. Xia Zhi even directly grabbed the clothes on her back and wanted to get on it herself.
The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she hurriedly held Zhou Hui, who was almost knocked down by Xia Zhi's hand, and turned her head to look at Xia Zhi: "You just stand up and help people up." ”
Xia Zhi was stunned and hurriedly held Zhou Hui again. And Wu Junlan and the others, who heard the screams, were also rushing here.
Wen Xian hurriedly stopped: "Don't come here, go to the shore." ”
There was already one wounded, and she couldn't afford another one.
After the water under his feet cleared, the sharp weapon that hurt people also revealed half of its true face.
Wen Xian took the fishing net and shaved the sand on it, and the sharp weapon revealed its true face. Then, with a smile in her eyes, she grabbed the handle of the knife and picked it up buried in the sand.
This is a long knife with a length of about 60 cm and a blade thickness of about 0.75 mm. Similar to the embroidered spring knife, at first glance it is a knife for the government.
Probably because of the special material, even if this knife does not have a scabbard, it has not rusted after soaking in the sea for so long.
This is also where Wen Xian is happy, as long as there is no rust, it is a good knife.
If it was a rusty knife, she still had a problem with tetanus.
"It's actually an official knife." Zhou Hui couldn't help but worry, "Shall we throw the knife back into the sea, or find a place to bury it." ”
The official knife is only allowed to be used exclusively by the government, and if it is discovered that it is used privately, it cannot be explained, and it will only be a dead end.
Wen Xian said angrily: "What to throw, just lack a woodcutter." How nice it would be to take it back and chop wood, trees, and bamboo. ”
The dead branches in the woods had been almost picked up, and the further they went, they had to cut down the trees to stock up on firewood. Otherwise, you will have to go deep into the mountains to collect firewood.
She's been worrying about this lately, and this knife came just in time. It's just not too long-eyed, and it hurts people.
Zhou Hui suddenly said: "That's right, I'm confused." ”
And they didn't find it strange why the knife had drifted here. After all, they themselves drifted over.
Wen Xian bowed her head and said, "Let's go back to the shore first, your wound must be treated as soon as possible." ”
