Chapter 282 Swinging Tentacles

The first thing I do when I wake up early in the morning is to light incense for the Kitchen God and the Kitchen God. I also light incense at the door, and then set off firecrackers.

A group of children covered their ears and waited for the crackling of firecrackers to finish. Then they all gathered around and called Uncle San excitedly. He thought with his buttocks and knew what they wanted to do.

"As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you want to do. It just so happens that you really won money last night. Come on, come on, line up for me, and you'll get two cents each."

"Wow hahaha~ Third uncle is so nice~"

"hurry up…"

After each person received two cents, everyone was so happy that they could buy a lot of firecrackers.

Then they began to search all over the ground for the remaining small firecrackers that had not finished going off just now.

"What are you looking for? Isn't it enough for you to buy?"

"Don't waste it. If you haven't finished putting it away, you can still pick it up and keep putting it away!"

After a while, everyone had several small firecrackers in their hands, and they all said happily that they were going to set them off at the beach to make splashes.

I don’t know if it was because of the wind at night. I felt that the waves were a bit big early in the morning, the weather was a bit gloomy, and the wind on the shore was a bit strong.

There have been only a few rainy days in the past month, and most of them have been sunny. But today, on the first day of the lunar month, it has become cloudy, and the weather has not been kind.

Ye Yaodong thought that he hadn't had breakfast anyway and couldn't play cards early in the morning, so he walked to the shore with them and watched them throw firecrackers into the sea one by one, and from time to time small splashes would explode. No sound.

After a few clicks, I set off the small firecrackers I picked up, but I felt that it was not enough. I touched the 2 cents in my pocket that were not warm, and ran all the way to the village to buy firecrackers. .

Ye Yaodong continued to squat on the shore when he had nothing to do, watching the tide recede there, and picked up a few flat stones and floated them in the water.

He fired several three-shot rounds in a row, and when he was working hard, he heard his wife shouting at the door for dinner. He had no choice but to throw away the stones in his hands and clapped his hands.

Just as he was about to turn around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something strange on the sea in the distance. There were a few more white tentacles dancing wildly, but they stopped and started moving again after a while.

He felt a little strange when he looked at it. How could he see the tentacles clearly from such a distance?

If anything goes wrong, there must be a monster, so he is not in a hurry to go back, and continues to stare at the sea, but the tide recedes a bit slowly, making it difficult to wait.

Lin Xiuqing found that she couldn't call him, so she came over and said, "What are you doing? I asked you to eat for a long time and you didn't move for a long time. You are still watching here. What are you looking at? Where are the two children?"

"I went to buy firecrackers with them. I probably won't be able to come back. I got stuck on the way. Let's cool down before eating."

"Then what are you doing here? Isn't the tide going out? It will be eleven or twelve o'clock when it goes down. If you want to go down, you have to wait until noon." She wondered.

"No, look in the distance. Is there something like a whip dancing around and hitting the water?"

Lin Xiuqing raised her eyes and saw that it really looked like a whip was dancing randomly, but the movement was a little slow.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, I'm sure. I just don't know if it will be stranded when the tide recedes."

In the sea, any living creature that can still move must be a big one. You don't have to think about it. Moreover, today is still the first day of the new year, so it is normal to have strong tides.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It was true that he was sitting at home, and money came from the sky. In the past half month, he only occasionally collected a cage on the ground, and there was no serious way to release the net. His shipping was so powerful that good goods were automatically delivered to his door. .

It's really luck that can't be stopped.

Lin Xiuqing was also excited after hearing that he was a big guy, "Really? Could it be a big guy? But look at those whip-like things, they should be tentacles, right? Looking at the old man's appearance, he was separated by You can see it from so far away, so how big is it?"

"I haven't seen its appearance, so it's hard to guess, but it must be very big. The tentacles look like an octopus. I've never seen one this big before, so it's a bit strange."

"Is it an octopus? It really looks like it, but its tentacles are a little thicker."

"It's so big, won't its tentacles also be thick? The New Year's Eve cannon last night was auspicious. Today, I just got a big deal."

"You're out there and you don't know what to do. What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, "Then you watch here slowly. I'll get the child back for dinner first."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll watch from here."

The location was quite awkward, and the boat couldn't get past it. The tide was low and the water level was too shallow. Should we swim there? It’s too cold, so we can only wait on the shore for low tide.

Fortunately, the weather was a bit cloudy today on the first day of the new year. There was no sun. The women were busy cooking, the children were busy setting off firecrackers, and the men were busy playing cards. No one came to the beach to blow the cold wind early in the morning. Even their children went out to buy some food. Not even a firecracker can come back.

Ye Yaodong has been squatting on the beach in a daze, smoking and looking at the sea, watching the tide recede little by little, but the big guy is still swinging in that position, not moving forward with the wash of the tide, and the people watching are helpless. .

But fortunately today, the first day of the new year, the tide can recede to the bottom. If it retreats more than 100 or 200 meters, it is estimated that it should be almost not far away, but it will be a bit difficult to wait.

As soon as he flicked the ash from his hand, he was tapped on the shoulder.

"I brought out the food for you."

"Good wife, so sensible!" He smiled playfully, stubbing out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and took the big bowl she handed her.

"It's windy at the beach, do you want me to get you a hat to wear?"

"It's okay, you go in first and don't catch a cold."

"Then why don't you go in and wait? The tide doesn't go out that fast. It's uncomfortable to blow the cold wind here for a few hours."

"I know, I'll watch for a while, and you go in first." It's safer to look here. If he doesn't see it in the blink of an eye, someone else gets there first, then he will have to slap his thigh and regret it.

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to go in first. The two children were still eating by themselves and didn't know if they were eating properly.

Ye Yaodong paid attention to the sea surface while eating. After pulling in a whole bowl of porridge, he quickly took the bowl into the house.

When Lin Xiuqing saw him entering the room, she quickly put on a hat and a scarf on him, "If you're celebrating the Chinese New Year, don't catch a cold. It's unlucky. Wrap him up like this to keep him warm."

He put his arm around her now thick waist and kissed her rosy cheek with a smile, "It's okay. I'm used to it at sea. It's not easy to catch a cold."

"Dad, you are so shameless ~ stealing your mother~ shameless ~"

"Shameful face~Shameful face~"

Ye Chengyang also imitated his brother's words, and then stretched out his index finger to scratch his face.

Lin Xiuqing was also a little embarrassed in front of the two children. She glared at him angrily and said in a soft voice: "I don't know how to restrain myself in front of the children. Don't lead them astray. Children who don't keep their mouth shut will go out and cause chaos." It’s so embarrassing to say that.”

Ye Yaodong immediately cast a sidelong glance at his two sons beside him. Before he could warn him, Ye Chenghu said with color: "I didn't tell others that my father secretly kissed my mother! I didn't tell others that my father shamelessly hugged my mother to sleep every day. .”

Ye Chengyang also nodded, "Me neither!"

He simply ignored his eldest son's scolding him for being shameless, "Well, you can brag as much as you like, but you are not allowed to talk about family matters to outsiders, especially things about your parents, do you understand?"

Two people at one end.

Ye Yaodong patted his head and walked out. Seeing that there was no one around the shore, he felt relieved, as long as no one noticed him.

He was originally going to walk towards the shore, but after thinking about it, he stopped again and walked towards his eldest and second brother's house.

If he is really a big guy, he won't be able to do it by himself. He has to call his two brothers to help. The money will not go to outsiders. The three of them are close to each other, and he can't handle the goods right in front of him. Eat alone.

He first knocked on the window of his second brother's house. Without waiting for his second brother's reaction, he also knocked on the window of his eldest brother's house, and then waited at the door.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were both a little confused and shouted in their respective rooms, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Ye Yaodong didn't respond, the two of them came out with bowls in hand and took a look, "What's wrong, Dongzi? Why do you just knock on the window without making a sound? What's going on?"

"Yeah, why don't you go in and talk?"

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, come to the shore with me. I just saw something different on the sea."

"Ah? Is there a red tide again?" Brother Ye stretched his neck and looked at the sea, "The sea water seems to have not changed?"

Brother Ye didn't care about eating. He stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck. "I can't see it. Will I not be able to see the change until night again?"

"If you look carefully, don't you think there's anything different?"

"No, what is that thing on the sea? It seems to move?"

"It's like a whip, whipping it back and forth."

"You guys eat your food first, and I'll go to the shore and watch first." After saying that, Ye Yaodong walked towards the shore.

Brother Ye, Brother Ye, didn't care to eat slowly at this time. He fiddled with it casually, poured the remaining porridge into his mouth, and quickly took the bowl in. His cheeks were bulging and he didn't swallow it, so he hurriedly followed. superior.

"Dongzi, when did you find out?"

"Just before breakfast, I accompanied some children to the shore to set off firecrackers. At first, there was no movement on the sea surface. After a while, I saw something swinging there. It looked like it must be something big, so I didn't dare I left, but I couldn’t see what it was for a while.”

The three brothers stood in a row on the shore, looking into the distance together and discussing with each other.

"It looks a bit like an octopus's whiskers to me!"

"I think so too. I can't imagine anything else other than an octopus with such long tentacles."

"The king squid is also possible."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin. Both were possible. There were giant octopuses and king squids in the world. The tentacles waving on the sea were consistent with these two creatures. However, without seeing them up close, there was really no way to identify them. .
