Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Xiao Xiao slapped himself on the forehead, "Damn it...are we stupid? Why don't we just dump the contents of the bucket onto the boat? There will still be room left to continue loading!"

Ah Zheng also suddenly realized, "That's right, right? Just put it on the boat and put everyone in the corner. We can put it in a sack when we get back."

"Damn, pig brain... everyone just sat there for so long, just watching Dong Zi dig it up by himself."

"Let's go for a walk and go pick it up again. The boat fare and fuel are too expensive, so we can't come here in vain!"

After they walked back to talk to Fatty and Chen Weiyi, the two of them came to their senses and hurriedly emptied the contents of the barrels onto the boat, freeing up space to continue loading.

Ye Yaodong looked at them speechlessly. Anyway, he just filled two sacks. As long as they are not washed, these shellfish should be kept in a cool place for two or three days.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to take care of the workers' food and drink, he wouldn't have picked up so much. After all, there was no refrigerator. If he picked too much, it would stink if he couldn't finish it. What he picked up now was enough.

When the sack of spat was full, it was his turn to sit back and watch them work.

Because no one was involved in the isolated island, the shellfish adsorbed on the rocks were still very abundant. It was impossible for him to pry back all the things by himself. They still had plenty to pick up when they returned.

After sunbathing for a while and eating two pieces of corn he brought out, he saw that the tide had receded and most of the surrounding rocks were exposed. He picked up the big bamboo basket and the fire tongs and shouted to the people who were bending over the rocks: " Comrades, the tide has gone down, I’m going to go hunting for treasures, you continue to dig for yours!”

"MD, it's too late to do anything!"

"I'll dig for a while longer. If I find something good, just scream and I'll go down again."

"Okay, I'll tell you after I finish shopping for all the big stuff." Ye Yaodong laughed, rolled up his trousers, and started looking for the shallow water.

"No more digging, I'll go down and take a walk." Ah Zheng jumped straight in with the half-full bucket, not planning to empty it on the boat, for fear that if he was too late, the shellfish on the rocks wouldn't be able to escape anyway.

As soon as he jumped down, he heard Ye Yaodong's voice of surprise.

"Fuck~ Sea Centipede!"

"What, where? Where are the sea centipedes?"

"Are there sea centipedes?"

Everyone ran to Ye Yaodong in surprise and saw that the tidal flat where the water came out was covered with dense sea centipedes.

The sea centipede, whose scientific name is Nereis, is a kind of worm that grows on the shallow beaches of the southeast coast. The scariest thing about it is that it looks like a centipede, but it is non-venomous and non-aggressive, and its legs are very short. Its food is mainly seaweed and seagrass, supplemented by small shrimps and fish.

"***, isn't this too disgusting? So much"

“I’m getting goosebumps!”

A large group of sea centipedes are squirming. If you have trypophobia, you will be scared to death!

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong is not afraid of this thing. "This is a good thing. Let's all come together. Be quiet when you catch it. Don't let it get into the tidal flat."

"Oh no, no, no, it's too disgusting. It's so big, it makes my scalp numb. I don't want it."

"I don't want them either, I don't have any gloves."

"My eyes are going to go blind. I'd better go somewhere else and wash my eyes."

"It's indeed a bit disgusting. If you find something, you should go and catch it yourself!"

Everyone shook their heads and hurried to the side.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Eat one by one. I want to eat and catch, but no one is willing to reach out."

"That's not what I said. The cooked look is so different from the live one, okay? It's so dense that I almost vomited. Anyway, you discovered it and it's yours. Go down quickly!" "After Aguang said that, he quickly ran away with the bucket.

He could catch whatever he wanted. It was better to eat it alone, but the bamboo basket in his hand was not suitable for holding sea centipedes. He quickly ran towards the boat.

He had to pour the seafood in the bucket onto the deck and free up the bucket to fill it. As he walked, he muttered: "How come there are so many sea centipedes crawling out? Shouldn't they be in the caves under the tidal flats?"

"Who knows, maybe they will come out to mate in the first few days of junior high school."

Anyway, it would be nice to catch it.

After freeing the bucket, he simply rinsed it with sea water, and then hurriedly ran towards the group of sea centipedes.

It was a bit disgusting, but it wasn't something he couldn't bear. Anyway, he was still wearing gloves and there was no direct contact.

He grabbed a handful and watched them struggle and squirm, feeling disgusted in his heart. He quickly put them into the bucket. The sea centipedes around him seemed to be frightened and burrowed into the soil one after another.

Ah, how can we let them run away?

Ye Yaodong increased his speed and caught all the sea centipedes that were still on the surface and didn't react. All the ones that weren't caught got into the tidal flat.

Looking at the small holes on the surface of the tidal flat, he tried to dig it out. When he felt it, he pulled it gently. This requires patience and care.

When pulling, you need to stop for a while to let the sea centipede's body contract, and then pull upwards. If the speed is too fast, it will be easy to break.

After touching only a few holes, he became impatient and continued touching. It was a waste of time. The bucket was already half full, estimated to weigh four or five kilograms.

He planned to go to the sea first to see if there were any other good things, and then come back later to catch them slowly when he had time. Anyway, this thing was here.

After placing the bucket in the shade, he took the bamboo cage and fire tongs and ran towards the nearest Aguang.

"Did you gain anything?"

"What do you think? If there is something good, I would have yelled about it a long time ago."

"That's right, it seems that no one has discovered anything big!"

He glanced at Aguang's bucket, which contained a few stone crabs and a few small miscellaneous fish. "You can either dig for shellfish on the reef, maybe you'll get more."

A Guang nodded matter-of-factly, "I think so too."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder comfortingly. After looking at the location of the others, he planned to walk further along the reef of the isolated island.

While he was catching the sea centipede, the tide receded a little.

Since there was a good start on the tidal flat today, he went specifically to the place with the tidal flat.

Some of the areas that emerged after the tide receded on this isolated island were small sandy beaches and some were tidal flats. They didn't look very clean and would sink in if you stepped on them. After just a few steps, he had already shaken off a leg of mud.

While walking around with a pair of fire tongs, I saw a big blue crab covered in mud lying motionless on the beach basking in the sun?

The surface was well disguised, but the shell was covered with mud. If I didn't look carefully, I almost missed it. Ye Yaodong pinched it with a fire tong, and its big pliers immediately started to swing with fangs and claws.

"Hey, it's a female. It's quite heavy. It should have some red paste. I estimate it weighs a pound and a half. It's okay. I almost missed it."

My luck is really good. I feel that there should be something on the beach. If I just walk around, I can find it.
