Haizhu nodded seriously, muttering in her heart that she was not afraid, and she didn't want to have a baby.

Chapter 80: Dolphins encircle and suppress black-skinned sharks

The doctor came and went, but he didn't prescribe medicine, so he asked Haizhu to wait for Kwai Shui to leave and then go to the hospital to check his pulse.

Haizhu took advantage of the fact that the meal was not good, she took a hot bath, changed into the menstrual belt sewn by Grandma Qi, soaked her feet in a basin of hot water, ate a bowl of chicken soup and boiled powder, and lay on the bed again.

The yard slowly quieted down, Dongzhu squatted in the yard and slowly washed clothes, Yu Guang kept glancing at the house where her milk was sleeping, Seeing that someone came out with a basin and poured water, she twisted a pair of pants and walked over, lowered her voice and said: "Milk, I was anxious to say the wrong thing in the evening, don't worry about me." ”

"I didn't think about my granddaughter, so I washed my clothes and went back to bed." Grandma Qi smiled.

Dongzhu replied briskly, apologized and felt much better, she quickly wrung the water from her clothes, and stepped on the rope of the chair.

"Milk, third uncle, I'll go back to the house and sleep."

"Okay." Grandma Qi glanced at the sky, put down the basin and went back to sleep. In the evening, she suffered a complaint from Dongzhu, She felt very uncomfortable, astringent and sad, she felt that her two granddaughters were not bad, and she had never treated her harshly, who expected that in the little granddaughter's heart, she became a grandmother who was reluctant to pay money to her eldest granddaughter for medical treatment.

"Milk, what are you sighing about?" Chao asked as he lay on the bed.

"No sigh, I'm glad that your eldest sister has a good relationship with your second sister." Grandma Qi pulled up the thin quilt over her stomach and said, "Come and sleep." ”

Five days later, Haizhu's body was clean, and she was urged by Grandma Qi and Dongzhu to go to the hospital to find a doctor to check her pulse.

“…… Judging from the pulse, you have a heavy cold, and there is nothing wrong with the rest, I will prescribe you a few pairs of medicines for you to eat first. The doctor withdrew his hand and bowed his head to write the prescription, and said: "The seaside is damp, and the people who live here have more or less some problems in this regard, you are not very old, and taking medicine is not a common thing, I will teach you a method, the morning and afternoon are good, you lift the clothes on your back and sit in the sun, and a pillar of incense is almost it." ”

Haizhu took the prescription and looked at it, and said, "Thank you, doctor, I will do it." ”

After leaving the medical hall, Haizhu used a wooden cart to push the old turtle to prepare to go to sea after returning from the medicine.

"Do you want to go to sea in two or three days? You're clean. Grandma Qi stopped her, "There is no shortage of food and drink at home now, you and your third uncle will cast nets and fish on the beach together, go to the sea at every turn, don't damage your body." ”

Haizhu shook her head, "Don't listen to what the doctor said, pearl divers have been to the sea since they were children, and they can't give birth if they don't get married." "The bottom of the sea is a magnificent world, and when the sea is upside down, humans retreat from the sea, and she is lucky enough to get a pass to the underwater world, where she is a fellow fish, a companion of turtles, and a witness to reef corals. Just to take care of your body and conceive a baby, you have to change your lifestyle? Haizhu is unwilling.

"Whether you can give birth depends on genetics, my mother gave birth to four, I am her daughter, I can't not give birth." Haizhu flickered gibberishly.

Grandma Qi agrees with this, she thinks that whether she can give birth or not is predestined, some people are destined to have no children, like Yu Laishun, no matter how much they toss, it is useless.

"Okay, be careful when you go to sea." Grandma Zi relented.

Haizhu pushed the cart to the wharf, there were only her two boats left in the bay, and it was almost time for the sea to be banned, and the fishermen on the beach were all puffing up their breath to make more money before the sea was banned.

She pushed the old turtle onto the boat, pulled off the anchor and jumped onto the boat, and the boat slowly swayed out of the bay with her strength.

The boat raised its sails, Haizhu went to the deep sea, she lay on the side of the boat and looked at the sea, all the way the sea was clean, there were no dead squid and dead octopuses. Thinking of this, she quickly ran to the bottom warehouse, and the octopus in the bucket had not been fed for five days and was still alive, half of her body burrowed in the sand.

Haizhu took it up and looked at it carefully, poured the water in the bucket and changed it to another bucket, and the octopus threw it into it, and it sank to the bottom of the water and burrowed into the sand.

In order to catch something to eat for it, Haizhu dropped the fishing net and dragged it into the sea, and after another cup of tea, she pulled the fishing net, and the small sea fish fell from the mesh and crackled into the sea. A black and yellow sea snake is wrapped in a fishing net, and the head of the hanging snake arches and spits out bright red snake hyacinth.

"Huh-" Haizhu leaned back coldly, she looked at the sky, and there was no sea eagle passing by.

"The old turtle is here, and a small spicy strip has been delivered to the door." Haizhu shouted, she dragged the net and didn't dare to drag it to the board, but pushed the old turtle down, and it entered the sea and then released the net.

As soon as the sea snake came into contact with the water, the old turtle seemed to have turned on the radar, and instantly reacted and swam over, and the turtle bit the snake's head fiercely.

The snake's tail was wrapped around the turtle's neck, and the pattern on the turtle's skin was like a snakeskin, and the two were entangled in her throat.

Haizhu chopped some minced fish meat and fed it to the octopus, the fish fell and it did not come out of the bottom of the sand, Haizhu squatted aside and waited silently, until the ripples on the water disappeared, and two tentacles poked out of the sand to fish out the fish.

It's pretty shy, she thought to herself.

Haizhu returned to the board of the boat, the boat was moving fast, the old turtle was busy eating snakes and did not catch up, she simply lowered the sails and planned to go to sea from here.

She tied her net pocket, took a pointed axe, and waited at the stern of the boat for a while, and when she saw the old turtle on the sea, she jumped into the sea, and the old turtle plunged into the sea after him, and dived one person and one turtle into the water.

There are many reefs on the bottom of the sea, and the tallest reef is almost a foot high, and the higher you go, the sharper it gets. Haizhu struck twice on the reef with a pointed axe, and there was a slight movement in the dark cave, and the moray eel that was hiding somewhere swam out like silk threads. Thinking it was a sea serpent, she was about to dive up to avoid it, when a moray eel with black-brown pockmarks quietly emerged, swallowed the moray eel, and then slowly retracted into the burrow.

Haizhu dived to the bottom of the sea, dug out two conches from the bottom of the sand and swam up again, knocked twice on the reef, and then threw the conch over. As she probed the moray eel, she poked it with a pointed axe, and the pointed eel's head was pierced, and the pearl dragged it out of the burrow.

After collecting a moray eel and putting it in a net pocket, Haizhu untied a net and tied it to the reef, and then took the old turtle to continue to look for it in the reef.

And in a corner she couldn't see, in a cave near the bottom of the sea, three sleeping sharks woke up to the smell of blood, and they swam past it in perfect harmony.

The old turtle who followed Haizhu turned back vigilantly, and when he saw Haizhu, he let down his vigilance, approached her briskly, and gently bumped into her.

"Do what?" Haizhu looked up and looked around, the seaweed shook a little more, a broken-legged shrimp was busy eating, and the gray-brown sea fish were swimming against the reef, and there was no danger.

There was movement on the light gray sand bottom, and the half-arm-long fine sand bulged, and the sea pearl swam over, poking it down with a pointed axe, and a gray-white moray eel struggled to bounce out.

"This one is too small, but fortunately, it's a color I haven't seen before, I don't know if your meat is glutinous......" Suddenly feeling the water waves, Haizhu turned around, and hit a shark head-on, she was so frightened that she fled in a hurry.

The moray eel on the pointed axe hung on the reef and broke away, and the blackskin shark swam over and swallowed it in one bite.

Haizhu glanced at the old turtle, how did this old thing keep watch? Why was he clever when he didn't know each other?

Two more black-skinned sharks swam over, three of them were about the same size, and Haizhu quietly gestured to them, these three were not as long as her, they looked like juvenile sharks, but the teeth in their mouths were very sharp.

Three black-skinned sharks wandered around the reef and swam towards the old turtle first, the old turtle was so frightened that he hurried to Haizhu, and the three of them couldn't beat it together.

Haizhu: ......

"You can lead one away!"

She also escaped, and it was very dangerous for the three sharks to go up together, and what was even more dangerous was that she was worried that it was a juvenile shark, and if a mother shark was brought in, she would lose her life.

The shark swam so fast that it caught up with a man and a turtle in the blink of an eye, and Haizhu hurriedly dived and dodged around the reef. The movement on her side alarmed the moray eel sleeping in the cave, and it probed alive and sound, and just as it appeared, it crashed into the shark's mouth.

The blackskin sharks are scrambling to eat the moray eels, and they are no longer chasing the pearls.

Haizhu glanced at the sea, did not dare to float, there are complex reef terrain under the water to block, when diving was caught by a shark, it really can't run away.

Haizhu hid under the reef to rest, and when she saw the blackskin shark coming again, she took out a palm-sized fish from the sand and threw it over, one of them took it, and the other two looked at her.

Haizhu understood, she tried to pull out two more fish at the bottom of the sea and threw them over, but the other party ate the fish and did not show murderous intent towards her. She was ridiculous, but she still worked diligently to find moray eels for them at the bottom of the sea, and the black sea bream hiding in the seagrass also turned out.

The old turtle didn't know where to flee, Haizhu scolded in his heart, this old guy was not very good-natured and unreliable, so he left her like this.

She had almost plowed the seabed, and the seashells had all turned out and pried their shells, and she had never been so selective at the bottom of the sea.

The blackskin shark was leisurely wagging its tail, waiting to be fed, when it suddenly looked up and looked ahead, and without hesitation, turned around and ran.

Haizhu was delighted, picked up the pointed axe that was about to be sharpened and ran in the opposite direction, and as soon as he turned around, he saw five dolphins flying overhead, aiming at the black-skinned shark.

The two collided, and the black-skinned shark that was less than the length of the female dolphin was rolled in the sea, and Haizhu stupidly watched the four large dolphins hit the shark together, she reacted and grabbed the pointed axe to go up, and saw the needle to mend the knife on the black-skinned shark.

The blood spreads in the water, turning from dark to faint until it is invisible, and Haizhu sits on the bottom of the sea and watches five dolphins feast on the belly of the blackskin shark and happily gnaw on its internal organs.

The shark meat they disliked made Haizhu pick it up, and the net pocket she carried with her was full of bits and pieces of shark meat, and the other net bag containing moray eel had been torn to pieces by the black-skinned shark that had stolen it.

Chapter 81: Selling Shark Fins to Make a Fortune

The three shark tails could not fit into the net pocket, Haizhu weighed it, chopped it off the root of the tail with a pointed axe, and then cut two pieces of seaweed and knotted the shark tail with a rope. Afraid that the smell of blood would attract sharks again, she didn't dare to delay at the bottom of the sea any longer, and struggled to swim to the surface of the sea.

The dolphins, who had fought a big battle, swam happily to the sea with Haizhu, and when they saw that she had climbed into the boat and could not get down, they swam around the boat, said hello and dispersed.

Haizhu looked around the boat, but she didn't see the shadow of the old turtle, she jumped into the sea again, and didn't find it at the bottom of the boat, so she had to go to the boat first to boil water and wash her hair and bathe.

The shark meat was soaked in the tub, the clear water was dyed pale red, and the bilge was filled with the smell of blood. Haizhu glanced at the stove, and went out to look at the sea, the old turtle didn't know if it was deserted and fled as a deserter, she planned to wait a little longer at sea, if it could be recovered, she wouldn't bother with it.

There were no passing boats on the sea, and she was not worried about being seen bathing, so she came out with a basin of hot water, stripped naked and stood at the door of the barn to scoop water and pour water on her. I took a shower and changed into dry clothes, and squatted down to wash my hair.

A black seabird burrowed into the sea to fish, and the sea pearl looked at the sea, but the old turtle had not returned. She went to the cabin on the second floor, pulled a bamboo mat and spread it on the ship's board, took off her jacket and put on her belly pocket and lay on the bamboo mat to dry her back.

The wet hair slowly dried, but the face was dripping with sweat, Haizhu touched his back with his backhand, and his back was hot. She turned over and looked at the sun hanging in the sky, took her clothes and covered her face and continued to dry her belly.

When there was a slight muffled noise at the bottom of the boat, she sat up with a carp and ran to the side of the boat to see that the old turtle was also looking at the boat with his head tilted.

"Where did you go?" Haizhu went to the stern of the boat to pick up the fishing net, and picked it up with a net, and when it came up, it went to the side of the boat and lay still. She stared at it a few times, then picked up her coat and put it on and hoisted the sails.

The boat was gliding on the sea, Haizhu sat opposite the old turtle with a stool, staring at it without saying a word, and it was tightly closed with a pair of mung bean eyes, and it was not clear whether it was sleeping or not, but it looked like it was asleep anyway.

"You're going to move the rescuers?" After Haizhu finished speaking, he felt ridiculous, turtles and dolphins are two kinds of creatures, how can they report the news if they don't understand the language, and turtles are not like dolphins, they can find people through sound waves in the sea. Thinking of this, she asked tentatively, "Didn't you also go to your fellow clan to save me?" ”

The old turtle still didn't react.

Haizhu stood up and looked at the sea, the speed of the boat was not slow, it had already left the place where the boat was parked, and she didn't know if there were turtles coming.

That's it, don't get entangled, the old turtle is not a person.

Before noon when she returned to the dock, a merchant ship anchored one step ahead of her, and the disembarkers were waiting in line to check their household registrations, their faces turned to the side to look at the returning building ship. When Haizhu came out with two buckets of shark meat, the people on the boat were boiling.

The guests on the second floor of the merchant ship condescended to see the shark fin poked in the barrel, and the two old men couldn't sit still, said hello to the steward of the ship, and kicked off the ship with their household registration.

"Shark fin sold to me, twenty taels a piece." The lean old man with a goat's beard opened the crowd and shouted.

I don't know who in the crowd disdainfully "snorted", this is another cunning merchant from the north, fishermen desperately got something, they open their mouths and close their mouths to buy it at a cheap price.

"I'll give thirty taels." It was the town's cloth merchant who spoke.

"I'll give sixty taels." The shopkeeper of Jiubei Restaurant knew that Haizhu would not sell it, so he opened his mouth and shouted the price.

The two merchants who came down from the ship were so angry that their beards were shaking, and they wanted to pay a high price, and they muttered in their hearts, considering whether they should buy it.

Haizhu also stood on the bow of the boat with great interest and said, "The three sharks have a total of twenty-one fins, sixty taels and one, is there a higher price?" ”

"You can't count it as you say, the shark's tail fin is the best grade, if I bid sixty taels, I am only willing to buy the tail fin." The goat's bearded old man's eyes lit up, "Sixty taels is sixty taels, I'll buy three tail fins." ”

Haizhu looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, the shopkeeper Zhang smiled, he just shouted a price indiscriminately, it seems that there are still many rich people in the north, and the shark fins of sixty taels were bought without blinking. He went on the boat and picked and chose in the bucket and net pocket, touched her with someone on his back, and sold it, even if he made his own vegetables, he couldn't sell it at this price.

Haizhu sold three shark tails for one hundred and eighty taels, and the rest were dorsal fins, pectoral fins, and pelvic fins. I went back when no one bought it. ”

"Twenty-two pectoral fins, I want them all." The fat old man who was walking with the goat-bearded old man spoke.

"I only sell four at most, and I'm going to keep two for my own family." Haizhu said.

"Okay." He also bought it for hospitality or gifts.

After selling for another eighty taels, Haizhu stopped and said to the other onlookers: "I still have shark meat, can you buy it?" ”

"Buy it back and stew urine soup to drink? If you don't buy it, you girl is not honest, and you still take out the things you dislike and sell them for money. ”

"Urine soup? How so? Haizhu didn't understand, she went down to the bottom warehouse to fish out the remaining shark meat, and when she walked to the board of the boat, there was no smell of blood, she smelled a bad smell, she leaned over and sniffed, the smell was from the shark meat in the barrel.

"Shark meat is not tasty, and the smell of urine is strong." Shopkeeper Zhang covered his nose and said, "It seems that you don't know yet, pour it into the sea, and the cat will dislike it when you bring it back." ”

"Huh? Tooth marks on the meat? What has been bitten? "Someone close to see a row of tooth holes in the shark's meat.
