The turbid air in the middle of the sea is naturally less than that on land. Although it is not as good as in Niuluo Village, it still took Baixi three hours to recover one-third of the consumed spiritual power.
Yawning, she didn't forget to take a look at the reef island before she lay down to catch up on sleep. Seeing that everyone was happily picking up abalones, there was nothing unusual, so she fell asleep at ease.
When the door was knocked, it was already dark and dinner was ready.
"Grandma~"
"Grandma, are you awake?"
"Grandma, it's time for dinner."
Bai Xi opened the door, stretched her hands casually, saw two more lights in the corridor of the cabin, and asked, "It's dark?"
"Yes." Chen Zhaodi said with some embarrassment: "It's already seven o'clock."
She picked up too much, and the dinner was made slowly.
It's seven o'clock?
Bai Xi was a little surprised: "I've slept for so long."
"Grandma, are you hungry?"
Chen Zhaodi hurriedly said: "The meal is ready, do you want to eat inside the house or on the deck."
"Go up and eat with the big guys."
When Bai Xi got on the deck, seeing the sacks piled up on the deck, and looking at the situation on the reef island, her cheeks twitched a few times.
I saw that there was a little light on the reef island that should have been empty, and I took a closer look, okay, these people are holding flashlights or lights on their heads, and they are happily going to the sea at night.
"It's getting dark, I haven't come up yet."
That's right, it's already seven o'clock, and many people are still picking up abalones below.
Bai Xi supported her forehead speechlessly, and said, "Didn't I say, don't do it when it's almost dark."
"Grandma, the big guy doesn't feel tired, and he doesn't walk around, so he wants to pick up more."
Xiao Liuzi happened to be helping to catch the sack below, so he smiled and explained.
There are so many abalones. When I lowered my head, there was nothing there. When I looked up, there were still more, big and small, in piles and nests, as if calling for them to hurry up.
Who is willing to go, even if he always says in his heart, just pick up a few, just pick up a few more, and the last few
But picking up and picking up, changing the sacks one after another, still reluctant to stop.
As long as there is a place to put it on the ship, everyone will be reluctant to stop. There is no place in the cargo warehouse, and there is still a deck.
The main ship is okay, but the other four cargo ships, some of the cabins are covered with waterproof pads, and then the sacks are piled up in a row.
Bai Fan came out of the driver's cab, and first called his aunt respectfully, before he felt embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, everyone thinks it's a pity to leave like this, so they thought it would be nice to pick up a little more."
"Are the cabins full?"
"Yes."
Bai Xi was helpless: "It's all piled up on the deck, and you're still greedy."
Chen Guochang just climbed up from the soft ladder, and he hurriedly said: "Grandma, aren't we just idle, so let's move around and eat more in the evening."
Can Bai Xi believe this excuse?
She didn't know yet, the villagers just saw the abalone lying there, and if they didn't pick it up, it was like losing money.
"Okay, don't say what's available, call people up quickly, eat and set off to go back."
"The wharf has already arranged transport vehicles. If we go back slowly, they should be worried."
In the afternoon, the villagers saw that the sun was going to sink, and they saw that there was still a large piece of abalone that they hadn't picked up, so they couldn't bear to tell Bai Xi to go back one day later and pick another day tomorrow, even if it was all morning. OK.
But now hearing what Bai Xi said, no one would say to stay longer.
That's right, people on the shore must be worried when my aunt goes to sea. If she doesn't go back within the planned time, maybe she will be worried about what will happen.
Raising her chin, she signaled Bai Fan and others to call up the person who was still digging her head up. Bai Xi went straight to her seat and waited for the villagers to have dinner together after boarding the boat.
"Come on, auntie is up~"
"Come on, my aunt is waiting for the big guys to have dinner together."
"Don't pick it up!"
The people who were still happy to pick up were stunned for a moment when they heard the words on the boat. No matter whether they were squatting or bending over, they all stood up, and then all looked towards the direction of the big boat.
Auntie is awake?
My aunt is waiting for dinner.
?They looked back at the abalone that was close at hand and could be picked up with their hands, and reluctantly took the abaloneThe abalone turned around.
Some people still don¡¯t forget to roll it again when they turn around. They can¡¯t pick up the entire reef island, which is really a waste.
In just a few minutes, people and sacks were already on the boat on the reef island.
"Grandma~"
"Grandma."
"Auntie, you are awake."
"Auntie, how did you sleep?"
"Grandma, look, these are the big abalones we picked up in the afternoon, and they are all over a catty in size."
"Grandma~"
Seeing their joy, Bai Xi smiled: "That's right, I saw that the abalone is quite big."
"Yes, auntie, there are still ones down there, and there's a lot of space I haven't picked up."
"Grandma, I don't know if there are any abalones that weigh two catties a head. I didn't find them today."
"Maybe there will be one further ahead."
"Maybe!"
Listening to these words, it is not difficult to hear their reluctance and enthusiasm.
Don't even think about Bai Xi. If you don't set off after eating, some people will sneak down and continue picking.
Bai Xi knew what they were thinking when he saw their expressions, and said helplessly: "Come back in a few days, no one will come to snatch them."
"But, grandma, if we are not here, in case a passing ship finds out"
"Yeah, auntie, let's go, someone picked me up here"
This is also the reason why the people of Niuluo Village are so determined that they are reluctant to board the boat even after dark.
My aunt brought the big guys here, and my aunt also discovered this place, so naturally I want to bring back as many as possible, so as to live up to my aunt's wishes.
If the boat in Niuluo village had just left, someone would come and pick up the abalone, it would be so bad.
"Won't."
After saying that, Bai Xi got up, went to the head of the cargo ship, took out a gold medal two fingers wide, and tapped it on the top of the reef island.
The sea breeze in the air seemed to have suddenly changed its direction and was no longer gentle, as if the shelter in front of it had been taken away.
The next second, the people on the boat were surprised to find that the reef island, which had not been submerged by sea water for a day, was slowly being covered by sea water, and the sea water was getting faster and faster.
In less than two minutes, the seawater completely submerged the reef island.
Everyone was shocked and looked blank.
Here, is the tide high? !
It's over, there's nothing to pick up.
What about so many abalones, just flooded by the sea? !
If I knew it earlier, I would have picked up a little more.
If I save two trips to the toilet, I can definitely pick up one more basket.
Everyone felt pity in their hearts.
Bai Xi turned around, glanced at each face, seeing the distress and pity on their slightly tired faces, feeling helpless and funny, and said: "Do you feel relieved now?!" (Remember this Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
