The big sea turtle is also very spiritual, when the sea pearl pulls the anchor, it climbs into the river, it sinks in the water to catch a shrimp appetizer first, and when the boat leaves, it follows slowly.

The people washing the bucket by the river were all surprised when they saw it, and the old man who had been rescued by the turtle was very proud when he heard it, "I said, the old turtle is very spiritual, in fact, the big guys in the sea have spirituality, and they will not attack people when they are not threatened." ”

The sun overhead made people's scalps hurt, and the idle people hadn't gotten up for a lunch break, and Qi Laosan didn't sleep at all, and after eating, he went out to sea on the boat. His ship was not far from the mouth of the sea, and when he saw Haizhu's ship coming out, he shouted in a loud voice: "Be careful when you go to the sea." ”

"Hey, I see." Haizhu raised the sails and led the turtles in the other direction.

Far from the shore, she lowered the sails and jumped into the sea with a net pocket and scissors, and the large sea turtle that followed also sank.

When I went to the sea, I met a group of finger-long sea fish, like snow in the sea, gurgling and stirring up bubbles in the sea. This fish is not very large, and it is the food for turtles and large fish, and they do not run away when they see turtles, and they cannot eat them all.

Haizhu waited underwater, the old turtle was full, and the fish kept in formation and swam away.

One person and one turtle continued to dive, and the bottom of this sea area did not know whether it was a wave or something, and the bottom water was turbid. The two orchid crabs flipped on their sides and were pressed by the mud and sand on half of the pincers, which cheapened Haizhu, and she effortlessly picked them up into the net pocket.

There was a long-legged lobster stealing the seaweed of the black sea bream under the reef, and the sea pearl was quietly approaching, and he was about to touch the shrimp shell, and his shoulder was hit hard, and the shrimp was frightened away, and the black sea bream was also scared away. When Haizhu turned around, he saw a vicious shark rubbing the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea and rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

Haizhu subconsciously ducked behind the reef, the shark's mouth grazed in front of her, and she clearly saw half a small fish stuffed between its teeth. The temperature at the bottom of the sea was low, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

The turtle ran away, and Haizhu didn't care if she didn't see it, she swam around the reef, took out scissors and held them in her hands.

The shark stopped chasing her after two scissors and swam to the top of her head, opening its sharp teeth and biting at her.

The strength is invincible, Haizhu does not waste effort to move the reef and smash it, she took out the speed of escape in her previous life, jumped out on the reef with her feet, and grazed the shark's fin with her ankle and bled out.

The large turtle swam up out of nowhere, and the turtle/mouth bit the shark's tail, and it hung on the shark's tail.

The shark smelled even more bloody, and the waves from its tail almost toppled the turtle.

Haizhu gasped and hid around, almost getting into the shark's mouth several times. Another attack from overhead, she took a step back and stared at the approaching shark, the two about to collide, she suddenly lay backwards and lay down, scissors into the belly of the fish.

The shark stumbled into the reef, the oyster shells on the reef cut through the shark's skin, and the sea beads climbed onto the shark's back in a bloody color, and the scissors in their hands kept waving.

The shark rolled on the bottom of the sea in pain, and Haizhu struggled to be hit and grabbed the opportunity to stab the shark with a knife.

The reef was hit, the sand and gravel on the bottom of the sea were stirred up, and the anemone starfish in the sand fled in panic.

The shark also wants to escape, it rolls twice in the water, and when the person is thrown down, it swings its tail away as fast as it can.

Haizhu lay exhausted at the bottom of the sea, still clutching scissors in her hands, she knew that the shark would not survive, and the smell of blood on its body was too strong to attract other large predators.

Thinking of this, she endured the pain and climbed up, and there was also the smell of blood here.

The turtle that was also overturned and hit the reef also swam crookedly to the surface, and when it felt that the water behind it was not moving, it tilted its neck and turned around, and saw that the strange fish had flipped under the collapsed reef and a moray eel was pulling out.

The moray eel, which was almost as thick as a calf, was also a victim of the man-shark fight, its head was flattened by a reef, but its delicious body was intact. Haizhu turned it out from under the reef, and when she couldn't find the net, she carried it in her hand, and swept around before leaving, and there was nothing left to pick up, so she went to chase after her comrades-in-arms.

When the eel dies, it will change its taste, and the pearl will come out of the water and throw the eel on it, and she will climb into the boat and cast a net to catch the turtle onto the boat, and then raise the sail and rush to the dock.

Qi Laosan happened to go back at this time, and Haizhu was happier without bothering to explain, she vented the fire in her body on the boat, and when she got to a place where there was no one, she looked up and laughed.

The turtle wanted to steal the meat of the eel, but when it heard the movement above its head, it slowly retracted its neck.

Chapter 29: Harmony's Sisters and Brothers

Haizhu was wet and couldn't run to the town, so she fixed the boat and carried a one-meter-two-three moray eel to the pier. Luckily for her, not long after the unloading merchant ship had left, there were still seven or eight shopkeepers on the dock clearing the goods.

"Did you buy moray eels?" She was still excited, and the exit was a little loud, and most of the people on the dock were looking at her.

"Moray eel, it's dead, but it's just out of the water." She repeated.

"I'll see." An old man came over with a fan, he picked up the moray eel and sniffed it, looked at the smashed fish mouth, and said, "Twenty wen a catty, do you sell it?" ”

It's too cheap, Moray eels mostly live on reefs on the bottom of the sea, and fishing boats can barely catch them with their nets, Haizhu shook his head and looked at a few other people.

"I'll give thirty wen, it's a pity to die, if I live, I can pay fifty wen a catty." Someone else came to see him, and he pointed to the sun in the west above his head, "It's not enough for dinner, and it won't be fresh if you buy it back and leave it for another hour."

Haizhu really didn't want to spoil the good mood, so he didn't bargain anymore, and sold it for 30 wen a catty.

The moray eel cut off the head of the fish and there were still twenty-one catties, and Haizhu paid sixty-three wen in fishing tax, carrying six coins of silver to support the boat and take the turtle away. When she reached the bottom of the cliff, she took off her clothes and examined her chest and abdomen, and pressed it to the ground, and the wounds on her legs were no longer bleeding, and she put on her clothes and went down to the sea again with the turtle.

The rock walls and reefs under the steep cliff are staggered, and there are rare no aquatic plants, Haizhu saw a sea snake in a stone crevice, and she immediately left with interest. But the old fellow who was behind her pounced ferociously, dragged the sea snake out and bit it to death, eating half and throwing half away.

"Amazing, amazing." Haizhu applauded it, "Your recipe is quite miscellaneous, too, you dare to eat highly poisonous jellyfish." ”

With this capable bodyguard to follow, Haizhu is completely relieved, she can be vigilant and sentry, and she is not afraid of sea poisons, she does not plan to let this partner who has a fateful friend leave.

One man and one turtle swim to the shallows where sunlight penetrates, where seagrass is abundant, brightly colored polyps live on the seabed, and strangely shaped coral rocks replace reefs. The crab, which feeds on polyps and seaweed, grows very fat, and there are dense red spots on the shell of the crab.

Without a net bag, Haizhu wrapped the crabs with seaweed, strung them together and placed them on the reef, held the hermit crabs on the sand bottom, removed the shells, and fed the crab meat to the giant turtles. There are also a lot of finger-long shrimp, the shrimp tail shakes out a meter away, Haizhu has no choice but to pry some abalone and carry it in his pocket.

Just as she was about to leave, two pipe-shaped things came out of the coral stone, the color was the red of steamed crab shells, slender and long like lotus roots, and she pushed the turtle towards them, but the turtle did not eat, and the two rod fish also ran away.

The bottom of the sea did not know the passage of time, and when she came out of the water to see that only half of the sunset was still exposed on the sea, Haizhu realized that she had been dangling at the bottom of the sea for half an hour.

His arms were cold, his hands and feet were wrinkled, and the wounds on his legs were white.

Haizhu moved his body on the boat, and only when he was enthusiastic did he raise the sail and leave.

She didn't plan to talk about the submarine battle sharks, so she went back and changed into long-sleeved trousers, smeared ointment on the wound, washed and dried her hair in the sunset and sea breeze, and drank two bowls of slightly hot water. When there was sweat on her forehead, she added water to the pot, put the crabs on the grate, and she sat under the stove to add firewood to make a fire.

The firelight scorched his cheeks, and his face was slightly hot, but the heat could not reach the soles of his feet. Haizhu felt a chill in her heart, and she touched her hair, which was much rougher than when she had just taken over this body.

"Haizhu?" Seeing that the chimney was smoking, Grandma Qi walked in the door and asked, "Are you cooking?" ”

"Well, I'll cook crab dumplings at night, and I'll bring you a few bowls when they're done."

"You can rest for me, I haven't finished the chicken at noon, don't give it to me." Grandma Qi sat down against the door.

As soon as Haizhu saw this posture, she knew that the old lady was going to have a long talk with her again, so she took the basin to scoop the noodles, mix the noodles, and knead the noodles, making a very busy appearance.

Grandma Qi didn't plan to leave at all, and when she saw that she was busy, she went to add firewood to her.

"The crab is already steamed, so there's no need to burn it anymore." Haizhu compromised, "Milk, you say, I'll listen." ”

"You went to the sea in the morning and again in the afternoon?"

"Hmm." Haizhu slapped her legs, "Stupid, isn't it, the shrimp and crabs I caught at noon are still being raised in the water tank, I forgot about it, you can take it back to eat later." ”

Grandma Qi didn't pick up her stubble, and then she continued in her own words: "You are a girl, you are soaked in water for half a day, this is not good, now I feel that it is okay to rely on my youth, and you will suffer from back pain, leg pain, and headache when you are old." I know that if you don't let you go into the sea, you won't listen, but you just listen to it, and you should go into the water or go into the water behind my back. In a compromise, you go down to the water every two days to give your body a relief effort. ”

"Okay."

"I ...... Wait, what are you talking about? Grandma Qi didn't expect her to promise so neatly, and she didn't say anything happy when she was in her stomach.

"I said okay, I'll reduce the number of trips to the sea."

"Hey, that's right, milk won't hurt you." Grandma Qi was happy and continued: "You have money in your hand and there is no shortage of money to spend, I and your second uncle have your third uncle to raise, and I don't want you to put money in it anymore, you and Dongzhu Fengping's sister and brother will eat and drink, and you will earn enough for you to go to sea for a day." No one is too much silver, but it's useless if it's too much, others don't talk about your father alone, it's a great way to make money, right? Great, I didn't worry about building a house, marrying a pretty daughter-in-law, replacing the old ship with a new one, having children, and having people. So, don't think too much, one day is a day, eat and drink more, eat and drink and enjoy it is your own ......"

Haizhu interrupted her twice, "I know, I still advise you." ”

"Oh, that's it." Grandma Qi was interrupted and forgot what else to say, she looked at the sky outside, and heard that Dongzhu and Fengping were back, she got up and left, "I'll go back to cook too." ”

"Take away the shrimp and crabs in the tank." Haizhu threw himself out and shouted.

Hearing this, Grandma Qi's legs fluttered faster and faster, and her hands were happier than a fishtail, "Don't, I don't like to eat this thing, you can sell it tomorrow." ”

Dongzhu and Fengping picked up the firewood that was drying in the yard and carried it into the house, "Sister, you bring in the salted fish, when we come back, we heard from the second uncle that it will rain tonight." ”

"No wonder there is no sunset in the evening, okay, I'll go collect it after kneading the dough." After kneading the dough and putting it in the pot to wake up for a while, Haizhu took out the crab from the pot and put it in the pot.

"Eat this hard shell again-" Dongzhu can't stand it, she has been eating it for eight years, she really has eaten enough, and she can't stand eating every day.

Again? Haizhu heard the disgust in her sister's words, "You don't like it? ”

"You eat it every day, there must be a pot of steamed crab every two days, and when there is no steamed crab, there is still a crab roe pot, fried crab, raw pickled crab, fried shrimp steamed shrimp, dried scallops and clams stewed shrimp balls." Dong Zhu counted with his fingers, "Also, every time you cook porridge, there must be shrimp, crabs and oysters, and if you have a grudge against them, you won't eat like this." ”

"You were happy to eat when I made it." Haizhu hummed, she took the bowl and put it on the table, and asked the two small ones to help pick the crab meat, "Okay, okay, eat another meal tonight, I will sell shrimp and crabs tomorrow, and leave two sea fish to bring back." The fish is always there, right? ”

Dongzhu nodded heavily.

"Eldest sister, I want to eat stewed fish, soup can be bibimbap." Feng Ping washed his hands and took the crab leg that was slapped with broken shells, leaned closer and asked embarrassedly, "Is there still chicken tomorrow?" I also like to eat chicken. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll buy it tomorrow." Haizhu poked his little head with the back of his hand, "My brother is so well-behaved, let alone eating chicken, even swan meat is also available." ”

Dongzhu sighed strangely, "Feng Ping said that he would eat swan meat tomorrow, and let your eldest sister go to the sky to catch you." ”

Feng Ping pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't say anything.

Haizhu walked out of the door and laughed, took the salted fish in and deliberately teased her, "Feng Ping knows in his heart, so I won't listen to you instigating me to embarrass me, isn't Feng Ping?" ”

Feng Ping nodded heavily.

Dongzhu was sour, smirking at the top of her throat, and weirdly woke up the turtles sleeping in the basin.

Remove the crab roe and stir-fry the oil, turn off the heat, pour in the minced crab meat and abalone, stir well, and chop the seaweed and green onion tied to the crab and mix it together for seasoning.

It was dark, Dongzhu lit the oil candle, and when she went out to close the door, she felt the rain hit her face, she ran in and said, "It's raining." ”

"When it rains, it rains, it rains, it doesn't affect our cooking." Roll out the dough and make two small dumplings.

The rain outside the house became heavier, the wind swept the rain into the house, Haizhu closed the door, and the three sisters and brothers wrapped dumplings and talked, cooking while wrapping, eating when cooked, and continuing to wrap after eating.

When it rains, it's cool, and the raw dumplings won't go bad overnight, and the next day's breakfast is crab dumplings. Haizhu noticed that Dongzhu ate a full bowl, how could she not like it, this girl should hate eating things with shells, delaying her eating speed.

The rain did not stop for three days, and the sea breeze brought the chill of winter, Haizhu took out the new jacket made this year and put it on, and hid in the stove to make a fire to bake the bonito and a half.

"Knock knock—"

When the rain stopped for a while, three gongs and drums sounded in the village, and the people who were sleeping at home were frightened, thinking that the bandits were coming, and they ran out one after another to see the village chief standing by the river with a gong, and there were two officers and soldiers guarding the village standing beside him.

"Idle on a rainy day is also idle, and the old and young masters all come out to practice martial arts with Zhang Guanye and Li Guanye." The village chief shouted at the top of his voice, "I have a number of people in the village, and whoever is lazy and cares that I will drag you off the bed." ”

First the son and grandson of the patriarch's family came out, and then the people who were a little famous in the village also came out, and the rest of the village was reluctant to give up, but they still came out honestly with their shoes on.

Haizhu hung up the dried fish, pulled Fengping and Dongzhu, who were watching the excitement at the door, also passed, and with a short look, she walked to Uncle Wutang and stood in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" The people of the clan asked.

"Master Wu who doesn't want money, if you don't learn in vain, you won't learn." Haizhu poked the two children who couldn't let go, "Study hard, if you learn it for free, then you can make money, come and practice every day to make money." ”

The others called out to their children, and the women who were interested also stood behind them and followed the gestures.

Chapter 30: Lost Eyes

The early morning of the winter moon was slightly cool, and it was still a little cold in a single coat, Qi Laosan put down the bowl and got up and walked out, "Mother, I'm going to the dock on the boat." ”

"Wear a thin cotton jacket, the sea is windy and the water is heavy, don't get sick from the cold."
