229. Chapter 229 It’s so Tight

During high tide, there are really many villagers going to the sea. Not only on the beach, but also on the mudflats and mangroves, there are people everywhere.

Li Duoyu gave up going to the sea on the main island,

and instead drove a sampan, taking Chen Wenchao and Brother Ou to an island reef near Dandan Island.

"Brother Ou, are you seasick?"

Before setting off, Li Duoyu specifically asked.

Ou Wusheng smiled and shook his head: "No, there is also a reservoir in our village, and I often go boating and fishing in the reservoir."

"Okay, then we'll set off."

When the boat just started, Ou Wusheng really didn't feel anything, but felt that it was exciting to see the sampan moving forward in the waves.

But when the sampan was getting farther and farther away from Dandan Island and the waves were getting bigger and bigger, Ou Wusheng frowned, his face turned pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he even felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Seeing this, Chen Wenchao hurriedly said, "Brother Ou, don't stare at the waves. The more you look, the more dizzy you will feel. Look at something farther away."

Ou Wusheng looked at a small island in the distance, but it was still useless. He lay down on the side of the boat and vomited all the food he had this morning.

The last time Chen Wenchao took his car and vomited like that, Ou Wusheng thought it was exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be his turn this time.

Li Duoyu, who was driving the boat, glanced at Brother Ou and said, "Hold on, we'll be there soon."

As the sampan slowed down, Li Duoyu and his party finally arrived at today's fishing spot, Dongjia Reef.

Dongjia Reef is located on the east side of Dandan Island. It is much larger than Xijia Reef where Li Duoyu fished for big bass. It has a main reef and an auxiliary reef, which are about half a mile apart.

Earlier, local fishermen believed that they were two independent islands and reefs.

But later, someone discovered that as long as the tide receded, a narrow and long reef belt would be exposed between the two islands and reefs.

Later, people called the big island reef Dadongjia and the small island reef Xiaodongjia.

It is also because of this special terrain that some fishing boats that are not familiar with the sea area will run aground once they mistakenly enter the chaotic reef zone of the big and small Dongjia reefs.

When the trade was popular at that time, there were always one or two foreign fishing boats that were not familiar with Dongjia Reef that ran aground here every month.

In those days, Li Duoyu and Agui often drove a sampan boat here to wait for boats. Once they found a fishing boat running aground here.

They would start a rescue.

However, it was all paid rescue. If the other party was really a fishing boat, they would charge a symbolic rescue fee.

If the other party was a trader, the two would charge a higher fee. Once they did it, they received a whole box of imported cigarettes from others as a reward.

They made a fortune from this and had the capital to trade.

There is another reason why Li Duoyu is very familiar with Dongjia Reef. After he came back from the island country in his previous life, the sea area near Dandan Island suitable for aquaculture had long been contracted to cultivate kelp and abalone.

Li Duoyu was forced to choose to cultivate kelp in a farther place. At that time, he had no choice but to cultivate it near Dongjia Reef, where no one was willing to come.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was quite taboo to come here, because he came to this world in the dark in his previous life.

He was very afraid that after coming here, he would close his eyes and open them again, and return to the world without his parents and Zhou Xiaoying.

So even if he came to Dongjia Reef, Li Duoyu did not dare to pass through the sea area where he cultivated kelp in his previous life.

After the sampan bypassed many reefs, it came to a place suitable for parking, but what they did not expect was that there was already a rowing boat parked there.

Looking at the rowing boat that seemed familiar, Li Duoyu blinked, and Chen Wenchao was also very surprised.

Because it was the fishing boat of the Zhao brothers.

Li Duoyu found that the two brothers were really amazing. It took them about 40 minutes to get here by boat.

For a rowing boat like theirs, it would take at least two or three hours to get here.

Li Duoyu dared to come to Dongjia Reef only by "cheating". The two brothers actually found this safe road. It can be imagined that the Zhao brothers have spent a lot of time on Dongjia Reef during this period.

However, this man is really careless.

He parked the boat here without leaving anyone to watch the boat. It would be okay if they met them. If they were afraid of meeting someone with bad intentions, they might just take their fishing boat away.

At that time, being trapped on this island reef without fresh water would definitely be helpless.

After the sampan was parked, Ou Wusheng, who was pale, jumped off the boat immediately. The moment he stood on the land, he seemed to be alive.

But the next second. He was attracted by the black, thorny things in the nearby puddle.

"Duoyu, what is this?"

"How come it has so many thorns, like a cactus, and it moves?"

Li Duoyu glanced at it and said, "This is a sea urchin."

"Is it poisonous? Can it be eaten?"

Li Duoyu nodded, "It's not poisonous, it's edible. It's quite plump in this season. We usually steam it with eggs."

Hearing that it can be eaten, Ou Wusheng took the tongs and picked up more than a dozen sea urchins nearby in one breath. But after a while, his face was full of envy.

Because the seawater of the nearby reefs is densely packed with this stuff.

"You fishermen are too lucky. There are so many sea urchins that you can't pick them all up."

Li Duoyu smiled.

He would never tell Brother Ou that no one eats sea urchins on their island.

Although there is a dish of steamed eggs with sea urchin, eggs and duck eggs are much more expensive than sea urchins. Who would be willing to waste several eggs just to eat sea urchins?

Besides, handling sea urchins is quite troublesome.

Chen Wenchao on the boat looked around and did not get off the boat together. The main reason was that he did not particularly trust the Zhao brothers.

"Brother Yu, why don't I stay and watch the boat, and you can take Brother Ou to catch the sea."

Li Duoyu nodded.

You really can't be careless when you come to such an uninhabited island.

Even before setting off, Li Duoyu told Uncle Zhuang who was collecting seafood at the pier that he was going to Dongjia Reef.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Caution is the boat.

After Ou Wusheng picked up more than twenty sea urchins, his attention was drawn to a crab lying on the sand.

"There are crabs."

Ou Wusheng quickly rushed over and grabbed the crab, but the next second, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao heard a scream.

"Damn it, you dare to pinch me."

Brother Ou was holding a palm-sized crab in his hand and walked towards them, but the crab was also holding a human weighing a hundred pounds with its pincers.

"It's so tight."

After seeing this scene, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao looked at each other for a while. He found that Brother Ou was really fierce. He actually caught crabs with his bare hands without any experience.

Li Duoyu looked at the crab he held between Brother Ou's fingers. Fortunately, it was a small orchid crab, not a stone crab. Otherwise, if the claws were used, the skin would definitely be broken and bleed.

"Put it in sea water and it will loosen up."

Ou Wusheng listened to Li Duoyu and put the crab back into the sea, but the crab still didn't let go.

"Still holding it tight."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Under normal circumstances, if a crab pinches it, it will obediently let go of its pincers as long as it is put back into the sea water, but this crab seems to be very awkward.

"Brother Ou, put it up."

Li Duoyu glanced at this little orchid crab and originally planned to let you live. If you don't want to leave, then just stay and steam it.

When Li Duoyu and his uncle were fishing for swimming crabs last year, Li Duoyu was often caught, but there were so many crabs that there was no time to spend with them.

The Crab is unreasonable in the face of it.

Fishermen often use the most unreasonable way to retaliate against them. When the orchid crab is not paying attention, Li Duoyu directly removes its crab claws.

Then he went straight to his mouth and bit the crab claw holding Ou Ge's finger to pieces. (End of chapter)
