Chapter 344 Go to the Island and Have a Look
As soon as Ye Yaodong returned home, he heard his mother chasing people away and the noise of children.
He couldn't help but frown, "What are you arguing about? Your third aunt and sister still need to rest. If you want to argue, go out and argue with me."

A group of children had never seen him with such a serious face before, and they were really a little scared. All of them suddenly did not dare to say a word, and they even let go of their hands holding Mother Ye's arms and thighs.
"Everyone's skin is itching. I have to push my limits even further. You still refuse to go home and do your homework. Do you know what time it is? You still have to listen. Don't even read the book. Where is the whip?"
Ye's mother put her hands on her hips angrily, pointing with her index finger and scolding each one. They had just joined forces to restrain her, and she couldn't even get the whip.
When several people heard that they wanted to use whips again, they immediately dispersed.
Ye's mother also chased her out to the door and scolded her, "If you don't put on the roof for three days, if your mother frees her hands in a few days, I'll give you all a good beating. If no one cares about you, you will go to heaven."
After a while, the scoldings of Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye were also heard in the house.
After Ye Yaodong and others ran away, he looked at his two sons with a sullen face. The two boys also panicked. After looking at each other, Ye Chenghu took the lead and ran back to the house, followed closely by Ye Chengyang.
Both of them had forgotten that their father and they were sleeping in the same room.
Ye Yaodong followed them directly into the house and watched them lie down side by side on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and pretended to close their eyes and sleep.
He shook his head and walked over, "If you don't fall asleep in a while, I'll spank you."
Ye Chengyang's eyelashes trembled, but they were still tightly closed, for fear of being beaten if they opened them.
Ye Chenghu was bigger and not that scared. He took a peek with his eyes closed and found that his father was also looking at him. He quickly closed his eyes in fear.
The two of them didn't sleep all afternoon and kept arguing. It was just getting dark now, so it didn't matter if they just went to bed now. They went to bed early and got up early.
Seeing that they were acting obediently, he also went back to his bed to lie down.
When he went out at night, he found that there were a few small waves and the boat could not get out of the sea. His boat could still withstand it, but the boat rocked a little more than before when the sea was calm.
The two uncles, like his father-in-law and mother-in-law, began to vomit before the novelty wore off. I wonder if they had seasickness patches on them? Still doesn't work.
Two grown men can vomit as long as they want, they won't die.
It's impossible to return anyway. If you don't go for a day, you will lose a lot. Compared to the profits they can get, they can just vomit for an hour.
The old one can bear it, but there is no reason why the two strong ones cannot.
"Be patient, we've been driving for quite some time, and we'll be there in another hour."
"It's okay, I'm just a little seasick. I'll feel better after vomiting." Lin Xianghui said slowly.
"Drink some water. You'll definitely have to vomit later. It's better to have something in your stomach."
The two of them nodded and said nothing, for fear of wanting to vomit when they opened their mouths.
"Try massaging the Hegu point, maybe it can slow it down, right at the tiger's mouth."…
"Let's try."
I don't know if it was the motion sickness patch that took effect or the massage of the acupoints, but the two of them didn't vomit again after that, but their faces were still ugly, and it was obvious that they had been suppressing it.
Father Ye first docked the boat at the island and put the two brothers down, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. They all thought that it was not easy to be a fisherman, so farming would be easier.
But when they saw some squid scattered on the beach, washed up after laying eggs, they no longer thought so. Seasickness was nothing. Making money was more important than anything else. This was much faster than farming. .
Their eyes were shining brightly, almost brighter than a flashlight.
It was the first time I went to sea and saw so many products, so it was normal to have this reaction.
Ye Yaodong put all the tools that could be used to catch the sea in buckets and took the boat out. Maybe his two brothers-in-law could use them later.
"Today is the first day of the new year. The tide is almost full now. There are not many goods. They have all been swept back into the sea. You can pick up as many as you want. When the tide starts to recede at 6 o'clock, more will be stranded. But there are also many seabirds, and they are still the same. In a word, pick up as much as you can."
He also briefly told them about the times of high and low tide, and about what time the tide would change. After a brief explanation, he and Father Ye also started picking up.
It was still dark, so he couldn't go down to the bottom of the sea. He could only go into the water when the light was good after dawn.
The two brothers also quickly started working, and from time to time they made sounds of surprise, indicating that they had picked up other good products.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but said: "When the tide recedes, a large area of the beach will be exposed. You can walk around and take a look. Maybe there will be good goods stranded."
The two of them happily agreed in unison. At this moment, they could still see their fussy appearance on the boat.
Ye Yaodong picked them up for a while. Seeing that the tide was rising and the squid on the beach were being swept back into the sea one after another, he got a small hand-made net for each of them.
He only made two small ones in total. He didn't have any tools and didn't have many goods, so he simply climbed up the rock with a bucket.
He has never gone up to the island to see it. He has only gone up the slope on the side to bury corpses.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to go for a walk in the woods and come out at dawn."
It's already 4 o'clock now, and it's getting earlier and earlier each day, and trawling out to sea takes too long. We only have a little time, so why not go take a look in the woods.
He walked onto the grass along the rocks. The dewy grass was moist. The forest ahead was pitch black, but he could see clearly with a flashlight. There was nothing to be afraid of. Lin Guangyuan had gone in and out several times. There shouldn't be any danger here.
Under the dim light, you can see the green leaves, the dead leaves are soft under your feet, the branches are swaying in the gentle wind, and the leaves also make a rustling sound.
Ye Yaodong shone his flashlight around the area and then on the trees, and occasionally a few seabirds flew up.
He ignored the seabirds because he saw a pheasant in the jungle ahead that was illuminated by his light and fluttered in surprise.
The feathers are gray, twisty, and relatively small. It must be a female. The male pheasant's feathers are very beautiful and bright.
He was self-aware that he couldn't catch it with his bare hands, but that didn't stop him from going forward and taking a look. He was aimless anyway. ….
As he approached, the flashlight kept shining, and the pheasant crowed and flapping a few times, then flew directly into the forest and disappeared.
He had no choice but to look around, picked up a branch and poked at the surrounding grass. Unexpectedly, he opened a hidden bush and found a simple nest inside with more than a dozen eggs.
Ye Yaodong was surprised to pick up one. It looked like it must be wild eggs. He happily picked them all up in the bucket.
A great victory!
He simply started wandering around, and from time to time there would be a stir, and the forest gradually became lively, with many more insects and birds chirping.
There were also a lot of eggs in the bucket. He couldn't tell whether they were seabird eggs or wild eggs. There were too many varieties of seabirds and it was impossible to separate them. They were all eggs anyway, so they could be packed together.
Maybe there have been a lot of seabirds flying in recently, and it's their breeding season. Seabird eggs are quite easy to pick up. No wonder Lin Guangyuan can still hear someone calling him on the beach, and he hasn't gone far in.
He also picked up four or five lower seabird nests.
While he was wandering around, the sky was getting brighter and the seabirds in the forest were flying out in droves.
"Hey, wild strawberries?"
I didn’t take a flashlight to shine on a small slope, but I didn’t expect to see patches of wild strawberries after dawn. They were quite big and looked bigger than marbles.
He carefully walked down the hillside, picked one at random, opened it and looked inside, removed the white soft cotton stuff inside, and then tasted it. It was very sweet and not sour at all.
I haven’t eaten it in years, and I almost forgot about it. There are a lot of them on the mountains right now, especially in the grass.
Wild strawberries are very similar to thorn bubbles, but thorn bubbles grow on trees, while wild strawberries grow in grass.
There is another kind called snakeberry, which also grows in the grass, but cannot be eaten. It looks very similar to wild strawberries and is easy to eat by mistake.
I heard that snakeberries are caused by venomous snakes crawling over them and then spitting on them, so you can see a lot of white saliva-like stuff on the snakeberries, which is slightly poisonous and cannot be eaten by children with weak stomachs.
Adults usually lie that if they eat it, they will become mute, so they cannot eat it randomly.
Ye Yaodong took a look and saw that this patch was full of wild strawberries, but it was a pity that he didn't bring a basket, so he couldn't pick them, and they would be crushed if he picked them.
I can only wait until I go back to see if I have time before bringing a basket to pick. The two boys at home will definitely like it.
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, which was red and orange, like a salted egg yolk, he felt a little hungry and stretched. The bucket was half full. He could go back and cook breakfast before working.
But when he turned around, he saw a rooster with beautiful feathers leisurely looking for food there. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a slingshot. He hadn't played with it in decades. He felt that his accuracy was not good, so he didn't bring it with him. .
Unable to catch it, he simply rushed forward with two heavy steps and shouted loudly.
Suddenly the rooster was so frightened that it flew around and lost two of its feathers.
After a while, he felt comfortable. He picked up the feathers that fell on the ground and put them in the bucket. He pressed them with the eggs to prevent them from being blown away by the wind, and then walked straight down.
Father Ye saw him coming back and went over to take a look at his harvest. "Only eggs? Are you not as good as A Yuan? He also shot a bunch of seabirds back."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him, "You go ahead and see what you can find in the woods."
"I just picked up a few eggs and said I won't let anyone talk about it."
"It's obviously a bucket of eggs!"
"Go and cook breakfast. I'll catch a few more. After eating, put the cage on the ground and go into the water. Remember to boil a few more eggs. If you don't have time to catch squid at noon, you can use them as food. It will save trouble."
Father Ye didn't argue with him anymore. In fact, the tide rose later and almost all the squids on the beach were picked up. He didn't have a fishing net, so he was slow to fish it out.
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and picked up a few eggs just as he was laughing at him. .
