Golden Fishing Village

Lu Zhizi didn't understand why Ao Muyang spent so much money to repair this wooden boat, but she was not a very curious person. Seeing that Ao Muyang didn't want to say it clearly, she didn't ask.

Instead, Ao Muyang asked her: "What are your plans for the weekend?"

Lu Zhizi was happy and smiled: "I'm going to the county. There is a beach in the county where dragon eggs are exposed because of the low tide. Do you know what that is?"

Ao Muyang shook his head, but he was moved after hearing it. He was interested in everything related to "dragon". He thought the golden pill in his chest was a dragon pill.

So the next weekend, the two of them went to the county together.

Anzhou County is the county with the worst economic situation in Hongyang. The main reason is that the vast rural area has delayed its development. If you only look at the county town, it has developed very well.

Taking advantage of Hongyang, the transportation in Anzhou County is much better than that in the towns in the mountains and forests. This county town occupies one of the few small plains in the surrounding area. The internal roads are well connected, high-rise buildings are everywhere, and people and cars are flowing.

Ao Muyang drove the fishing boat to the dock first. He looked at the tall buildings in the distance, and a nostalgic look appeared on his face: "Do you know what my biggest wish was?"

Lu Zhizi said: "To have a house in Longteng Ziyu, a good car, to marry a good wife, to sit in a good position, to have a good child, and to have five sons and daughters!"

Ao Muyang was shocked: "God, can you see through people's hearts? How do you know?"

He had never told anyone about his wish, but the female teacher was almost right, and some of the accuracy made him unbelievable.

Lu Zhizi laughed, she pointed to her head and said easily: "All men with small peasant ideas probably have this wish."

Ao Muyang was embarrassed and said: "But how do you know I want to buy a house in Longteng Ziyu?"

Lu Zhizi rolled his eyes at him: "What a simple thing, you went to high school about five or six years ago, and the best community in Anzhou County at that time was Longteng Ziyu, right?"

Ao Muyang was convinced, it was really the case.

"Okay, stop the boat and go find the dragon eggs." Lu Zhizi said excitedly.

The tide receded at the seaside, and the beach outside the county town exposed a large area of ​​the seabed, with reefs in patches, seaweed everywhere, and garbage everywhere in many areas.

Ao Muyang shook his head. The environmental pollution here was too serious.

This encouraged him, yes, it encouraged him instead: because the environmental pollution in the county was so serious, there were so many tourists coming to the beach to play, so as long as the traffic conditions in Longtou Village were improved, the tourism industry would surely be greatly developed!

The big chess game he played was related to the tourism industry.

The two went ashore and walked along the beach. Finally, they saw a piece of smooth round stones appearing in a seabed reef.

Many tourists took photos with the stones. These stones were large and small, concentrated in an area. The big ones were taller than people, and the small ones were about half a person's height. The material was unknown and the surface was smooth. The overall shape was oval, similar to an enlarged version of a bird's egg.

Some of the stone eggs have cracks on them. Ao Muyang heard from tourists that someone went to explore in the cracks yesterday and was bitten by a sea snake. He has been sent to the hospital for treatment.

He laughed at this rumor. What season and temperature are there sea snakes? How can a sea snake move on this day?

These stone eggs were placed on the beach, and some of them may still be buried in the sand. He went to take a look and found nothing unusual. They were just carved from ordinary stones.

But this area is usually under the sea. Who can carve this thing? One can only marvel at the ingenuity of nature.

Lu Zhizi was a little disappointed after seeing it and said, "What dragon egg? This is a water-carved stone by coincidence, right?"

Ao Muyang asked, "What is a water-carved stone?"

Lu Zhizi said, "A natural landscape created by water hitting the stone."

The mysterious dragon egg turned out to be just an ordinary stone. She was very disappointed, and her high spirits quickly became low.

Ao Muyang was somewhat interested in these stone eggs. He stared at them intently and said, "How could the water-carved stone you mentioned be carved into the shape of an egg? It's a bit too weird."

Lu Zhizi said casually, "Who knows? There are many weird things in nature."

Ao Muyang smiled, he regained his concentration, and said, "Don't lose interest, come on, I'll take you to dig giant ants."

Sure enough, Lu Zhizi became interested again, she asked, "Giant ants? What is this?"

Ao Muyang said, "The scientific name should be sand sea mantis, a kind of shellfish. There are many beaches on this side of the county. When I was in high school, my classmates would come to look for it every holiday. It's three or four yuan a pound in the market, and it's very easy to sell."

Like Longtou Village, when the tide is low, the people in the county are busy going to the beach to find the harvest. There are crowds of people, and some places are shoulder to shoulder, similar to going to the market, which is called going to the sea.

Ao Muyang went to buy a shovel and a basket. When he came back, Lu Zhizi laughed and said, "I saw someone with a kitchen knife. Haha, are they going to cook here?"

"Who knows? Here's a basket. Follow me." Ao Muyang took her for a stroll on the beach.

Sand mantises like to live on the bottom of the muddy and sandy bottom waters from the lower intertidal zone to a depth of several meters. Like other shellfish, they live in caves, and the depth of their nests is about 30 to 50 centimeters.

Ao Muyang looked for places on the beach where there were many diatoms left after the tide receded. This is the food that sand mantises like very much.

There are many sand mantises on this beach. Soon, he found an area with rectangular holes on the beach.

Seeing him squatting down, Lu Zhizi asked happily: "Here?"

Ao Muyang nodded, and she asked again: "How to catch this thing? Is there any skill?"

"No skills, it doesn't test skills, but it tests courage." Ao Muyang said seriously.

Lu Zhizi asked: "Is it dangerous?"

Ao Muyang dug it with a shovel. Under the sand layer was silt, with a bad smell, gray and black color, and looked a bit disgusting. He said: "Here, show your courage and dig."

As he said, he rolled up his sleeves and started digging. The mud and sand he dug out in his hand could not be thrown away directly, but had to be pinched. He pinched a smooth hard object, wiped off the sea mud on it, and revealed a shell inside.

This shellfish has two shells, the shell surface is rough, with many fine growth lines, and it looks a bit uneven. After wiping it clean, you can see that its shell surface is yellow-brown, with a layer of white circle on the outside.

Interestingly, this shellfish drags a flesh-colored thin tube.

Lu Zhizi saw it and laughed, saying, "Isn't this a geoduck?"

Ao Muyang shook his head, "No, but they should all be sea roaches, so they look a bit like it. Hehe, what do you think it looks like?"

As he spoke, he shook the flesh-colored tube, and underneath were two shells put together.

Lu Zhizi kicked him lightly and laughed, "Rogue!"

She took the sand sea roach away, rolled her big eyes, pasted some velvet seaweed on it, and then called the general over.
