"What do you do to meet so many people? You don't know anyone on the boat. Shen Sui glanced at her, and when he saw that she was about to cry again, he was a little irritable, "You can't take women on the boat, you can live in the village with peace of mind, and no one will bully you." Didn't you say you wanted to live a stable life? There is a river at the door of your house, and you are good at swimming in the water, weaving a net to catch net fish, which is more than enough to feed yourself. ”

Zhu Nu bit her lip and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Han Ji coming, he looked behind him, "You came here alone?" Haizhu didn't come? ”

"Well, she's too lazy to see you."

"Huh! Did she scold me or was I wrong? Shen Sui gritted his teeth, "Which of us do you think is more at fault?" ”

Han Ji glanced at him speechlessly, and bypassed him to find the village chief.

"The village chief is not at home, saying that he is asking who has a vacant house, and he has not come back yet." Shen Sui called out to him.

The village chief, who was hiding behind the wall of someone else's house, hurriedly made a panting appearance and ran over, "Lord Shen, my brother will come over and take this girl to settle down immediately." Lord Han, let's go into the room to talk, and Zhang Guanye and Li Guanye will come over immediately. ”

Shen Liu also wanted to follow up, but the hem of his clothes was grabbed, and he looked back and watched silently.

"Sixth brother, can you come with me?"

Just after being scolded, Shen Sui was also a little suspicious that he had a lustful gall that he couldn't see, and he was suspicious in his heart, and now when he saw her again, he couldn't help but be hairy. He frowned and asked, "There are tigers eating people in the village?" You've seen all the scoundrels who do evil, honest fishermen, what are you afraid of? In this blue sky and white day, even ghosts dare not come out. ”

Uncle Wutang came to hear these words, it can be regarded as down-to-earth, their village is a serious village, and the people raised are honest and serious, if he moves over to be a serious person, he is also worried that the doll in the village will be damaged.

"I've found a house, come with me." He said.

"There's her luggage on the boat, you go with her and settle her." After Shen Sui finished speaking, he entered the village chief's house.

Haizhu took another prescription from Dr. Mu, and she waited for Dr. Mu to finish the injection and went out together, asking her second uncle if he could almost recover after drinking this medicine.

"Look at his own recovery, he himself has to practice more, at the beginning, his hands will definitely tremble, he can't move and can't hold things, and he will get better if he practices more." Seeing that Han Ji was already on the boat, Doctor Mu quickened his pace and said, "I won't come here in the future, and Doctor Song can also see if there is a problem." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Haizhu strode home, opened the door and ran onto the boat with his things after a while, "Doctor Mu, this is a kind of food that I have newly figured out, you can take it back and try it." She handed over a salted fish that was hard enough to kill a dog, "Baked, torn off the skin and cut with a knife, it can be eaten, and it is more fragrant when fried or roasted in a fire." ”

"What kind of fish is this?" Shen then accosted.

Haizhu ignored him, and turned his hand to hand a palm-sized crockpot to Han Ji, "This is what you asked when you had lunch at lunch, the bonito meat is marinated and dried and ground powder, and the fried meat and soup are quite delicious." ”

Han Ji took it before Shen Sui made a move, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Haizhu was about to get off the boat, "It's not early, don't delay you, let's leave quickly." ”

"You stop, you wait." Shen Sui called out to her, "My mother and my second sister-in-law brought you something, and I forgot to take it when I got off the boat before." The two burdens were on the board, he took them and handed them to her, and when he saw that she was delighted, he disdainfully "sighed" and reluctantly continued: "My mother said, the weather is getting colder, let you wear thicker and eat better and go into the water less." ”

"Thank you on my behalf, and I'll go to her for the New Year." Haizhu was happy, and it was pleasing to the eye when he saw Shen Sui, "That's it, don't stuff anyone you save in the future, don't stuff me here, my life is very happy, don't make trouble for me." ”

"Okay."

"I see that Shen Liu is quite afraid of Haizhu, like a younger brother is afraid of the eldest sister." Dr. Mu said with a smile.

His ridicule was not small, Shen Sui and Haizhu heard it, he didn't refute, and said, "No way, I'm afraid she will drag me into the sea and drown." ”

Haizhu Dale, standing under the boat, waved to the people on the boat, "Come over to eat when you pass by, be careful at sea, and shout if you can use me." ”

The official boat raised its sails larger than the fishing boat, and the wind pushed the boat out of the village slowly, and the people washing things by the river avoided watching from the sidelines.

Haizhu carried her baggage home, one of the bags was filled with clothes, shoes and socks, the three of them had them, and the other was some food, all of which were durable jerky. She put her things back in the house and rowed with a bucket to fetch water.

When practicing martial arts at night, the village chief took advantage of the fact that everyone was there, and told the men who went out to sea to fish not to run far, "It's almost the New Year, and the bandits also want to rob money and have a good year. ”

As soon as these words came out, there were sighs and sighs, and someone asked the official who acted as a martial master: "When will you be able to suppress all the bandits on the sea?" ”

"As long as there are people, there will be bandits, and they can't be clean." These two people are also sincere, and they will never hide what they have to say.

"Practice martial arts, practice martial arts, and when the bandit comes, I can also pick up a big knife and chop his head." Haizhu boosted his morale, "Don't be lazy, practice one more trick now, and you may be able to save your life if you encounter danger in the future." ”

When the other women who had made shoes and sewed clothes with torches had put down their needles and threads and joined in, the young children were even more vigorous, shouting that they would be great generals and go into battle to kill the enemy.

The village chief was very satisfied with this development, and today he told Han Ji that the women in the village also practiced martial arts, and he was also praised, saying that if it was effective, he would be rewarded at the end of the year.

He glanced at Haizhu and wondered what reward he wanted to give her.

*

In the middle of November, there was another tide day, and the weather was good, Haizhu packed her things to hold the boat out to sea, and her old buddy followed slowly, and the turtle shell floated on the water.

"Haizhu, can I take your boat to sea? I brought a fishing net and wanted to go into the sea to catch a net. "Pearl Girl is waiting by the river.

"The fish in the sea are much stronger than people, and it is difficult for two men to stand on the boat and pull the net, where can you drag the fish in the sea, and you will lose a net for nothing." Haizhu directly refused, "I can't take you, it's dangerous to go to sea, and if something happens, I'll be responsible." ”

She has no ill feelings towards the pearl girl, it is normal for a weak and helpless girl to be moved by the man who rescued her from the sea of suffering, and she scolded Shen Liu before comparing her to an unsightly outer room, and then she also slapped her mouth.

"Are you going to the beach? It's almost ebb, I'll take you a little bit. She paddled to the shore.

Zhu Nu nodded hurriedly, "Go and go, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go back and get the tools." ”

Haizhu directly shouted to the second egg who was burying, "Take out your bamboo rake and bucket and lend it to me for half a day." ”

Erdan picked up his pants and ran into the house, and in a blink of an eye, he brought the bucket and sent it over, "Aunt, you tell Fengping, let me ride your turtle." ”

"No, it stinking your ass." Haizhu watched the pearl girl sit firmly, she propped up the boat, and the boat slid out.

When she arrived at the mouth of the sea, she put the pearl girl down and explained: "At noon, you follow the people in the village and go back, you can go to the bucket and rake yourself, and you can also put it at my door." ”

"Okay, be careful when you go to the sea."

Haizhu answered, raised the sails and left flutteringly.

On the day of the tide, the wind and waves are strong, the water in the sea is muddy, and the bottom of the sea is a little calmer. The turtle lies on the aquatic grass and nibbles on the young leaves, and the sea bead clutches her newly knitted net to catch crabs and shrimp on the reef and sand bottom. Today I was lucky enough to break into the lobster nest, and just went to sea to net three of them, and turned her face to see a lot of abalone under the reef, she took out a shovel from her net pocket and began to pry.

The two prawns came out of the bottom of the sand, and she quickly held them down, and went directly to the shrimp shell to eat the freshest shrimp tail meat.

Colorful small fish swam on the coral stones, and Haizhu passed by and broke two shaped ones and threw them into their net pockets.

A group of brown thin fish swam like a flock of birds passing by, and were swept to the surface of the water by a wave, and the sea pearl was also surging, and she surfaced to pour the shrimp and crabs in her net pocket into the water tank.

When you go into the water again, you will change places, the blue and clear seabed is very visible, and the tiger grouper who hides in the crack of the reef and sleeps with his mouth open is grabbed by the tail and put into the net pocket in his sleep, and Haizhu drags the struggling net bag to find the old guy who runs away with another turtle.

Chapter 32 Stir-fried mussel meat with sour bamboo shoots

A sea turtle was lying on the sand and rocks, hiding under the coral rocks to rest, and the sea pearl swam over to pull it up, and when she saw the other party's mouth open as if threatening, she quickly turned away.

The bottom of the sea is too vast, and Haizhu can't tell the direction, after recognizing the wrong turtle one after another, she stopped in a seagrass covered with sea urchins, and waited for the old turtle to come to her.

Sea urchins are much bigger than the ones that are brought to the beach by the tide, and they don't happen every day, they like to live in groups, and sometimes they don't meet any of them, and they just come across a large group.

Haizhu avoided the puffer fish that bit the sea urchin and hit the stone, she stepped on the soft sand, chose a big head and put it in the net pocket, afraid of piercing the tiger grouper to death, and went to pull the seaweed to tie the bottom of the net bag. The little fish that passed by swam over curiously, and she picked up the sea urchin and prick it at it.

The depth of the shallow sea is limited, and you can see the sunlight on the surface of the sea when you sit on the bottom of the sea. The fish are leisurely pushed by the tide and swim away, and the sea anemones in the sand and gravel burrow out of the sand bottom to catch the eggs and eggs in the water, and they immediately retract into the sand at the slightest movement.

Walking in this environment, Haizhu is not worried about danger coming, the visibility in the sea is very high, and whether there are eyes staring at you in the dark can be found.

The puffer fish broke the sea urchin, and a small fish with white spots in the palm went over to grab food from it, Haizhu picked up a sea urchin and threw it with an iron rake, and the fish and shrimp that smelled the smell came over immediately.

The net pocket was full, but the old turtle had not yet found it, so Haizhu rubbed his arms, tied the net pocket around his waist, and swam towards the water with an iron rake.

The boat drifted away, she got out of the water, exposed her head on the sea, and swam in the direction of the boat, and when she got closer, she saw two turtles, one large and one small, in the bow of the boat.

"I thought you got lost, it's okay, if you can't find anyone, look for the boat." Haizhu was surprised that this old turtle was smarter than she thought. She threw the net that fell from her waist on the boat, and then she grabbed the rope and turned it over, and she poured out all the sea urchins, took out the silver needle, and pricked two needles into the bucket for the tiger grouper with its mouth wide open.

The sun was about to drift to the middle, and the warm but not vicious halo shone on the body, and Haizhu wiped his hair and looked down the boat, and there were still two turtles on the water.

"What does that mean?" Haizhu smacked her lips, she didn't want to be a turtle and take it home.

From time to time, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the boat, it was the old turtle hitting the boat board with the turtle shell, Haizhu had no choice but to raise the sail to lead the way in front, and turned around to find that the two turtles did not follow.

She had no choice but to put away the sails again, swing the boat back, shake off the fishing nets and drag the two turtles onto the boat one after another.

The cabin was not big, and the two turtles got on the boat and completely lost their footing, and Haizhu was about to push the sea urchin into the water tank, when he saw the old turtle open its mouth and brought it the barnacles on the turtle shell.

It dawned on her that this was not to bring her companion home, but to ask for help.

Haizhu skillfully picked up an iron rake and scissors, stepped on the turtle shell with her foot, and vigorously pried open the things that were attached to the turtle shell. Oysters and green shells are attached to the reef, and over time they almost melt their shells into the reef, and barnacles are even more disgusting, and the slightest thing can wear out the shell and burrow into the flesh.

After a jingling sound, Haizhu picked up the turtle, which was much smaller than the old turtle, and threw it out of the boat, and it happily swam around the boat twice, then turned its head and swam to the bottom of the sea.

Haizhu then raised the sails and walked back, and the old turtle lay on the board of the boat peacefully.

Dongzhu has already cooked rice at home, steamed rice, and washed cabbage to control the water and wait for Haizhu to come back and fry it. When she saw the boat rowing into the village, she turned around and ran home.

"Dongzhu is diligent now, the girl is more intimate than the boy, my eldest man is two years older than her, and she knows how to eat and play." Wei Jinhua was very greedy for such a little helper at home, she saw Haizhu fixing the anchor of the ship, and asked, "What did you catch on this trip?" ”

"A grouper, five prawns, three blue crabs, seven pike crabs, and a bag of sea urchins." Haizhu pushed the old turtle into the river and let it climb ashore by itself, she carried all the things on the boat down, and said, "Aunt Wei, you take a basin and pick up some sea urchins back, the sea urchins you picked up today are big." ”

Dongzhu and Feng ran out calmly, carrying the lobster whiskers around the bucket, smacking a few times, and squinting with laughter.

"It's not small, and the price can't be low." Wei Jinhua sighed a few times, "Do you eat it yourself or sell it?" ”

Dongzhu immediately looked at Haizhu vigilantly.

"Sell! Sell! Haizhu couldn't cry or laugh, "The tiger group kept it for lunch, and the others were raised in the water tank first, and I went to the dock to sell it in the evening." In a blink of an eye, Wei Jinhua only picked up six sea urchins, and she twisted the sea urchin thorns to get her a few more, "The price of this thing is not high, I don't plan to sell it, I eat it myself, Aunt Wei, you take more back." Fengping, you go into the house and get a basin with seven or eight to send to the milk. ”

"Okay, okay, enough, I use to steam eggs, I can't eat too much." Wei Jinhua stopped Haizhu's hand and walked home with the basin, "Don't talk about it, you go into the house and take a hot bath." ”

Dongzhu ran into the house with a fishing net and an iron rake, and quickly ran out with a bucket to pick up sea urchins, "Sister, the water has been prepared for you, and the clothes have been taken out, you go to the bath, I'll get these." ”

"Can the pearl girl return the bucket and bamboo rake of Erdan's house?" Haizhu asked as she walked.

"Returned, I accompanied her, and she gave me a few sea mussels that pried open their shells, and I washed the mussel meat and put it on the stove." Dongzhu picked up all the things into the yard and closed the door with his backhand, "Okay, you can wash it." ”

Haizhu glanced at her when she was undressed, she "hissed", slipped into the house with a smoke, and muttered: "I also have what you have, so I don't rarely see you." ”

Take a bath, wash your hair and wash your clothes, your whole body is dry, and Haizhu picks up the tiger grouper and smashes it, scraping the fish scales little by little. Dongzhu squatted opposite her to clean up the sea urchins, talking about what she had done in the morning.

At this time, there were two knocks at the door, the sisters were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and Dongzhu hurriedly opened the door to let Fengping in.

The forgotten child, who had gone to collect firewood while he was locked out of the door, came in and asked cheerfully, "What do you eat at noon?" ”

"Steamed tiger grouper, stewed six sea urchin steamed eggs, fried sea mussel meat, and then made a dish of cabbage sum." Haizhu scooped the water to flush away the fish scales, pointed to the water tank and said, "Or if you still want to eat, I'll make it for you." ”

"Don't eat it, keep it and sell it." Feng Ping squatted over with his face in his hand, "Sister, you don't go to sea in the afternoon, right?" Let's go to the mangrove forest to pick up duck eggs, Andy went with his father and mother today, and came back with two buckets of duck eggs. ”

I want to play, not to pick up duck eggs. There is still a jar of salted duck eggs at home that has not moved, usually boiled salted duck eggs in the morning, Dongzhu and Fengping also only eat salted egg yolks, and half of the egg whites are eaten and half are thrown.

"In two days, the wind and waves at sea will be smaller, call the third uncle, let's go together, chop two boats of firewood and come back, and dry it just for the New Year." Haizhu said, "In the evening, I will go to sell shrimp and crabs, and you two will take a boat to help me." ”

Winter beads and wind are flat, and the mouth should be good.

"Fengping will go to the fire, I'll go stir-fry, and Dongzhu will sweep out the fish scales or something." Haizhu arranges things.

There is not much oil, the salt jar has bottomed out, her third uncle has returned from the salt pavilion, and the family has to start paying for salt.
