Chapter 401 Itchy!

After the three people finished placing the cages, the water began to rise. The tide quickly overflowed the roots of the mangroves, and the three people had no choice but to retreat first.

When Li Duoyu returned home, it was almost evening, and the sunset was particularly gorgeous. Where the sun set, a whole cloud of fire even appeared.

Don’t go out in the morning glow,

The sunset travels thousands of miles.

It looks like the weather will be nice again tomorrow.

Li Duoyu, who smelled of mud all over his body, fetched water from an iron bucket directly at the well and rinsed his body.

By the way, I picked up a piece of soap from the sink and rubbed it vigorously on my head. After all, the poop of this fish-eating seabird is really fishy and smelly.

After taking a shower, Li Duoyu, wearing a pair of shorts, sat in his courtyard and looked at the pier not far away.

There happened to be a few small fishing boats returning to the harbor.

Since cooperating with the agricultural machinery factory, Xiasha Village has become the fishing village with the most fishing boats in Shangfeng Town, and may even have the most fishing boats in the entire county.

There are also rumors outside that Xiasha Village on Dandan Island may be the richest fishing village in the entire county. Now many villagers especially like to go fishing.

One reason is that I really have money.

Another one is when he goes to catch a fair, every time he says that he is from Xiasha Village on Dandan Island, the other person will be particularly envious.

The next sentence, he immediately said: "The village director of your village is so powerful, can you help me make some grilled eels?"

Xiasha Village is now well-known, and the greater the reputation, the greater the benefits.

Li Duoyu remembered that when he was studying, because they were islanders, their development was definitely not as good as those in the town.

Often ridiculed as a "sea dog" by the locals, Li Duoyu had a fight with the locals and almost dropped out of school.

However, with the rapid development of Xiasha Village in the past two years, the students of Dandan Island have become more and more hard-core at Shangfeng Middle School. No one dares to mock them as seals anymore, and those local students do not dare to trouble them.

During this period of time, matchmakers also particularly liked doing business on Dandan Island, because a voice had emerged outside the island.

That is, those young men and women of the right age want to be Dandao's wife and son-in-law, and the reason is because Lao Lu explained to the matchmaker before.

As long as you can find him a decent inverted door, you can directly give him three thousand yuan. After being inverted, build a house and give him a boat.

Lao Lu's arrogance made people outside the island think that the fishermen on Dandan Island were very rich.

In short, the fishermen in Xiasha Village have been in a good mood recently, with smiles on their faces most of the time.

Near the pier, several families were drying nets in their courtyards and clearing away seaweed and branches hanging on them.

After seeing this scene, Li Duoyu's thoughts were drawn back to his past life. At that time, Dandan Island had become a tourist attraction and few fishermen went out to fish.

In order to take pictures of fishermen fishing and sorting out their fishing nets, those old camera masters paid him to be a model and stage the photos.

Li Duoyu still remembers it very clearly. The first time he became a model, he earned 500 yuan. The money came in very quickly. It was much easier than fishing or breeding.

Li Duoyu can clearly feel that since the net hoisting machine was installed, everyone has become much more active.

There are many round dustpans placed on the roof of every house, filled with dried fish to be dried.

Looking over from Li Duoyu, he happened to notice an orange cat climbing to the roof of Lao Lu's house and eating the buffet.

But before he had even eaten two bites, he was discovered by Lao Lu's wife. She was so angry that she threw the broom on the spot.

But the orange cat looked like a habitual criminal. Before escaping, he even took a piece of dried fish in his mouth.

"You damn cat. There are so many fish at the pier that you won't eat. You keep coming to steal my fish. If you let me see you next time, I won't beat you to death."

Li Duoyu found that the life of these wild cats on the island was quite nourishing, and they did not have to worry about starvation at all.

If you have nothing to eat, go to the pier to pick up some trash fish that the fishmongers don't want to eat. If you want to eat something different, there are also many seabirds and "spicy strips" on the island.

And I don’t know why, but the villagers are very friendly to cats, and they all shout to kill them, but no one really does it.

Right now.

After finishing the meal, Chen Huiying walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Li Duoyu in the courtyard, she said slightly angrily:

"From now on, I will arrange the food. Now we all eat together. I have calculated how much each household has to pay. If you buy three blue crabs like this, I don't know how to divide them. Just three." For who to eat, and the three are different, one meat crab, one cream crab, and one oil crab.”

"Are there oil crabs?"

Chen Huiying nodded: "When steaming, luckily I found it early, otherwise the butter would have escaped."

When collecting the blue crabs just now, Li Duoyu felt that one of the crabs was particularly plump, but he didn't expect it to be a butter crab.

This time he really made a profit.

However, it seems that I didn’t make any money either.

In this era, butter crab has not yet been fried, the price is not particularly expensive, and some people do not like to eat butter crab. For example, Zhou Xiaoying, her favorite is meat crab rather than cream crab.

Since there were only three blue crabs, there happened to be three children at home, so Zhou Xiaoying directly put the three blue crabs into their bowls.

Li Duoyu brought back the blue crabs. He originally wanted to give them to Zhou Xiaoying, but he didn't expect that all three blue crabs were given to the children.

Even Li Haoran has one.

At this moment, Li Duoyu realized why A Niang thought those three blue crabs were a problem.

Now that they are a big family, they have to think carefully when bringing things back from home, and they must be even, otherwise they will not be divided enough.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Duoyu felt particularly itchy at night because he had been bitten so many times that he kept scratching there.

"Why do you keep moving?"

"itch."

Zhou Xiaoying thought he was trying to cause trouble again, so she took the initiative to turn around, but found that Li Duoyu had no intention at all.

Still scratching and scratching.

Zhou Xiaoying felt something was wrong and took a flashlight to look at it, only to find that Li Duoyu's hands and feet were all swollen.

Several of them were scratched and bled by Li Duoyu. Zhou Xiaoying said distressedly: "Where have you been? You were bitten like this?"

Li Duoyu replied: "Over there in the mangrove forest."

"You've been attracted to mosquitoes since you were a child, so why would you go to a place as dirty as a mangrove forest?"

"I went to catch some green crab seedlings. I didn't expect that the little black bugs and mosquitoes there were so poisonous. It made me feel extremely itchy at night."

"Don't scratch it anymore. I'll use the wind oil essence to apply it on you. Don't go to the mangroves again, you know?"

"Know."

However, when Zhou Xiaoying applied Fengyou essence to Li Duoyu, her hand accidentally touched Li Duoyu's sensitive part.

The pungent and refreshing feeling almost made Li Duoyu ascend to heaven. He immediately ran to the well and kept fetching water for cleaning.

After Li Duoyu came back, Zhou Xiaoying looked guilty: "I was not careful. I didn't know that drip would be so painful."

Li Duoyu glared and said, "Anyway, if you don't make it up to me tonight, you will definitely not be able to survive."

the next day.

Li Duoyu woke up early. He ran to Lao Chen, a second-hand fishing gear shop, borrowed a lot of tools and made a portable mosquito repellent incense box, and then he dared to go to the mangroves.

Sure enough, after putting this thing on, mosquitoes and small black insects did not come to bite him.

When he arrived at the location where the ground cage was placed, he found that the tide had receded for a long time and the ground cage was exposed to the air.

As soon as Li Duoyu arrived in the mangrove forest, he heard the screams of mice. He thought it was a mouse bitten by a snake.

I didn't expect to hear the sound of an air gun.

Li Duoyu walked over to take a look.

They found that Zhao Erniu had already arrived, holding an air gun in his hand, aiming at a mouse that was biting the cage not far away.

The mouse looked very alert. After taking two bites, it raised its head and looked around.

Fishermen really hate the rats in the mangroves because they like to bite the cages and steal the sea fish inside.

The sudden appearance of Li Duoyu startled the mouse. He didn't care about the food at all and immediately turned around and ran away.

Zhao Erniu, who had quick hands and quick eyes, immediately pulled the trigger, and with a "bang" sound, the big mouse rolled several times.

"Brother Yu, it's so early."

Li Duoyu asked: "Why did you bring a gun?"

Zhao Erniu said helplessly: "The main reason is that these mice are so annoying. I don't know how many of my cages are bitten by them in a year. I put so many cages this time. I thought they would definitely come and bite me, so I just put them in." The air rifle was brought over.”

In fact, when he saw the gun, Li Duoyu was a little uncomfortable, but considering that it was the 1980s, there seemed to be quite a lot of these things.

There are even bird-shooting teams, with each team having more than ten guns. In the past, everyone liked to use air guns to shoot birds, and occasionally they could also shoot fish at the beach.

But now that fishermen's lives are getting better and people don't eat birds anymore, these air guns are rarely used.

Li Duoyu looked at the cage he had placed on the ground and found that there were also mice biting him. He smiled and said: "Er Niu, lend me your gun and let me shoot two of them." (End of Chapter)
