1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 229 It’s so tight

At high tide, there are really many villagers rushing to sea. Not only the beach, but also the tidal flats and mangroves are full of people.

Li Duoyu gave up catching the sea on the main island,

Instead, they boarded a sampan and took Chen Wenchao and Ou Ge to an island near Dandan Island.

 “Brother, are you seasick?”

 Before setting off, Li Duoyu asked specifically.

Ou Wusheng smiled and shook his head: "No, our village also has a reservoir. I often row and fish in the reservoir."

 “Okay, let’s set off.”

When the boat first sailed, Ou Wusheng really didn’t feel anything at all. Instead, he found the sampan boat moving forward in the waves quite exciting.

But when the sampan boat got further and further away from Dandan Island and the waves got bigger and bigger, Ou Wusheng frowned, his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he even felt a little nauseous.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wenchao hurriedly said: "Brother Ou, don't stare at the waves. The more you look at them, the more likely you are to get dizzy. Look at things farther away."

Ou Wusheng looked at a small island in the distance, but it was still of no use at all. He lay down on the side of the boat in disgrace and vomited out everything he had eaten this morning.

The last time Chen Wenchao sat in his car and vomited like that, Ou Wusheng thought it was exaggerated, and he didn't expect that it would 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 boat slowed down, Li Duoyu and his party finally arrived at today’s sea point, Tongjia Reef.

Tung Kia Reef is located on the east side of Dan Dan Island. It is much larger than the Sai Kia Reef where Li Duo fishes for big bass. It has a main reef and an auxiliary reef, about half a mile apart.

 Earlier, local fishermen thought they were two separate islands and reefs.

However, someone later discovered that as long as the tide goes out, a narrow strip of chaotic reefs will be exposed between the two islands and reefs.

Later on, everyone called the big island and reef Datongjia, and the small island and reef called Xiaotangjia.

It is also because of this special terrain that some fishing boats that are not familiar with this sea area will most likely run aground on the rocks once they stray into the chaotic reefs of the Dongjia Reef and Xiaotongjia Reef.

At that time when the fishing industry was booming, there were always one or two foreign fishing boats that were not familiar with Dongjia Reef running aground here every month.

At that time, Li Duoyu and Agui often drove a sampan boat here to wait for the boat, once they found a fishing boat ran aground here.

 They will come to the rescue.

It's just a paid rescue. If the other party is really a fishing boat, then a symbolic rescue fee will be charged.

If the other party is a smuggler, the charges between the two of them will be relatively high. At most, they received a whole box of imported cigarettes from others as payment.

It was through this that the two of them earned a pot of gold and had the capital to sell goods.

There is another reason why Li Duoyu is very familiar with Dongjia Reef. After he returned from the island country in his previous life, the waters near Dandan Island that were suitable for farming had already been contracted to raise kelp and abalone.

Li Duoyu had no choice but to raise kelp farther away. At that time, he had no choice but to raise kelp near Dongjia Reef, where no one was very willing to come.

 To be honest, Li Duoyu was quite taboo about coming here, because he came to this world with a black eye 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 would not dare to pass by the sea area where he cultivated kelp in his previous life.

After the sampan went around many reefs, it came to a place suitable for parking. What they didn't expect was that there was already a rowing boat parked there.

Looking at the somewhat familiar paddle boat, Li Duoyu blinked, and Chen Wenchao was also very surprised.

 Because it was the fishing boat of the Zhao brothers.

Li Duoyu discovered that these two brothers were really good. They sailed to Dongjia Reef, which took them about forty minutes.

If you use a rowing boat like them, it will take at least two or three hours to get here.

But Li Duoyu dared to come to Dongjia Reef through cheating. The two brothers unexpectedly found this safe road. It is conceivable that the Zhao brothers have been on Dongjia Reef a lot during this time. Put some thought into it.

　However, this man is really big-hearted.

 The boat was parked here like this without anyone watching the boat. It was a good thing if we encountered them. If we were afraid of meeting someone with evil intentions, we might just give their fishing boat a ride.

 At that time, being trapped on this island with no fresh water will definitely make the sky and the earth inoperable.

After the sampan stopped, Ou Wusheng, who looked pale, immediately jumped off the boat. The moment he stood on land, he seemed to have come to life.

  It can be used in the next second. He was attracted by the dark, thorny things in the nearby puddle.

 “There are so many fish, what is this?”

 “How come it’s so thorny, like a cactus, but still moving?”

Li Duoyu glanced at it: "This is a sea urchin."

 “Is it poisonous? Can you eat it?”

Li Duoyu nodded: "It's not poisonous and can be eaten. It's quite fat this season. We usually steam it with eggs."

Hearing that it was edible, Ou Wusheng took the tongs and picked up more than ten sea urchins nearby in one go. However, within a while, his face was full of envy.

 Because the seawater on the nearby reefs is densely packed with these kinds of things.

“You fishermen must be so happy, there are so many sea urchins, it’s impossible to pick them all up.”

Li Duoyu smiled.

 He would not tell Brother Ou that no one eats sea urchins on their island.

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

 Besides, dealing with 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 while you take Brother Ou to catch the sea.”

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 There is really no need to be careless when visiting such an uninhabited island.

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

 Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

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.”

Ouge held a palm-sized crab in his hand and walked toward them, but the crab also held a human weighing more than a hundred pounds with its pincers.

 “It’s so tight.”

 Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao looked at each other for a while after seeing this scene. He found that Brother Ou was really fierce. He actually caught crabs with his bare hands despite having no experience.

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

“Put it in the sea 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 together.”

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

 “Brother Ou, please pick 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.

Last year when I was fishing for swimming crabs with my third uncle, Li Duoyu was caught a lot, but there were so many crabs that I had no time to spend with them.

 Facing the crab's unreasonableness.

Fishermen often respond to them in the most unreasonable way. 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.
