Chapter 293 An Unexpected Discovery
After hauling up the fish from the first net, he found that there was nothing good or special. Ye Yaodong left it alone and left it to his father to sort it out. He drove the boat to the reef.
At this time, the sky was already turning white, and the scene on the sea was clearly visible without the headlights.
That reef has indeed risen again.
He was a little excited. Could it be that he just showed up and is still rising?
He slowly drove the boat closer, being careful to avoid hitting the rocks.
After getting closer, there were indeed many abalone and conch clinging to the reef, which were clearly visible.
The height is not high, the highest point of the reef emerging from the water is only about one meter, most of it is still under the water, and there are no little green dragons around.
"Dad, come and see, is this reef rising or sinking?" He couldn't see clearly and couldn't be sure.
Father Ye hurriedly dropped the fish he was working on and ran to the bow of the boat to take a closer look, "Why am I not moving?"
"I also feel that way."
"The area of the reef that emerges from the water is too small, and there is no way to step on it. The abalone and conch are difficult to pick out."
Ye Yaodong also frowned. There really was no place to step on. Last time the reef sank to about this position, so they gave up and boarded the boat early.
"Otherwise, let's just wait here and see if it still moves?" Father Ye suggested. The abalone was really valuable and he couldn't bear to give it up.
What if it sinks directly?
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said, "Dad, let's tie the hook to the bamboo pole. We will hold the bamboo pole buckle on the boat and catch it with the hand net."
"Abalone and conch are big and have strong suction, so they may not be easy to hook."
"Try it. Just try harder and try to hook as many as you can."
The hooks and bamboo poles are all ready-made on the boat, but they need to be tied tighter. If they are loose, they will become crooked and difficult to hook.
The father and son worked together, one with a hand net and the other with a long hook. Ye Yaodong hooked it hard, and unexpectedly they actually succeeded in overturning a fat abalone.
"It's done!"
The confidence of the two people immediately increased. Although it took a little effort, as long as they could dig it out, it would be a success.
Ye Yaodong tried to hook the conch again, but failed for a long time. The flesh area on the top of the head was too large and the adhesion was too tight.
In fact, the adsorption power of abalone is also very amazing. Most of them live on deep-water rocks, which are mostly cliff-type and have strong currents.
When the food brought by the sea current flows past the abalone on the cliff, the abalone must ensure that the food is not swept away by the sea current.
Therefore, it must be adsorbed on the reef with a large adsorption force, which means a large suction cup area is required to attach to the reef. The suction cup is the soft foot of the abalone. If a person wants to uncover it, he must exert a lot of effort.
Therefore, when catching abalone, you can only take advantage of its unpreparedness and shovel it down or overturn it with lightning speed, otherwise you will never be able to take it off even if you smash its shell.
Ye Yaodong had an experience before. He just made a quick and accurate hook before it fell into the hand net.
The conch couldn't be hooked anymore, so we had to give up first.
The reef was only one meter high, and there were not many abalones. He worked hard for a while, and they dug out all the abalone on the surface of the reef. They even dug out some of the abalone that could be found under the water, but the reef remained motionless. ….
This made both father and son a little puzzled.
"Perhaps this reef will be like this in the future, neither rising nor falling? How about we stop at Xianhai Island, cook something for breakfast, and then take a look after eating?"
Ye Yaodong nodded.
Some natural phenomena are so weird that you can’t even expect them, so you can only observe them for a while.
He was also familiar with the isolated island next to him. Although he felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the corpse, considering his dream, he felt that since he had come here again, he might as well offer a bowl of sacrifice later as a memorial to his previous life. of myself.
What I brought out today was rice cakes. You have to eat rice cakes to make money at the beginning of the new year, which means that you are getting better and better every year.
Put in the fresh seafood and cabbage, and after boiling, he took out a bowl first.
“Dad, since we’ve stopped here, I’ll take a bowl and go up the mountain.”
"Ah?" Father Ye frowned and hesitated for a moment. Although he felt unlucky, he didn't say anything because the dead man was the most important. "Then you go and come back quickly."
[To be honest, I have been using a recently to read books, catch up on updates, switch, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Ye Yaodong hurried up the mountain, not far away, only ten meters from the seaside.
The sacrifices that had been placed before were gone, and only the bowls were still there, which must have been washed away by the rain.
He put down the newly cooked and still hot rice cakes and bowed three times, "I didn't expect to come back here today, so I stopped by to pray and bless me with success and safety in my life."
Whether you make money or not is not the most important thing. Only when everything goes well can your dreams come true.
After muttering something, he planned to turn around and leave quickly, but when he turned around, he saw a stone under the tree on the left that reflected the sunlight and stung his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes in discomfort, and then walked over to take a look curiously.
A golden stone as big as a fist seemed to be half buried in the mud. He picked it up curiously and took a look. When he turned it around and examined it, his hole suddenly shrunk.
"Golden nugget!"
"Damn it! Is it really a gold nugget?"
Although the golden stone on my hand is relatively rounded, there are some honeycomb-like pits on the surface, as well as some protruding parts. The shape is a bit like a naive poodle barking at the sky?
Nugget gold is also called "horseshoe gold". Although the name contains "gold", it is actually a naturally produced mixed mineral containing large particles of irregular placer gold.
To put it simply, "nugget gold" is a gold ore with low purity, but it has collection significance.
Most people like to pay attention to a "good luck". The nugget's head is round, round, and has a strange shape. It is often considered to be a symbol of fortune and auspiciousness, and will bring wealth to people.
More importantly, the appearance of "nugget gold" is not accidental. It often means that there is a gold mine in the place of discovery. If you go to the site with professional equipment and "follow the clues", you are very likely to discover the mineral deposits.
Ye Yaodong looked back and forth happily, and suddenly he thought of something. He put the piece of gold nugget in his hand back into his pocket, and found a flat stone to dig on the spot. He dug more than 20 centimeters, but he didn't see anything.
He changed the position of the block again and continued digging next to it.
He dug five small holes in a row. Just when he heard his father's voice and was about to give up, he suddenly hit a hard object in the hole more than ten centimeters deep.
He put down the stone in his hand and used his hand to dig it a few times. He saw the shiny golden round corner again, and his eyes widened in surprise.
again?
His father's screams were getting closer and closer in his ears. He quickly turned his head and responded, then started digging quickly in joy.
As he dug, more and more of the rounded corners were exposed, and a corner popped out from underneath. He thought there were two, but he didn't expect that only one came out.
It's just that this golden piece of dog's head is smaller and not as golden as the previous one. The two horns that just came out look like two "ears", exactly like a rabbit head?
No wonder people say that gold nuggets are usually in animal form.
Hearing his father's voice getting closer and closer, he turned his head and looked around, not caring to look for it again. He put one in his pocket and ran down the mountain first to avoid worrying. .
