Ye Yaodong walked towards Ye Chenghai and saw him grinning excitedly, rummaging in a broken bowl or jar, and then he took out a small white seal.
"Hey, Xiaobaizhang is OK!"
"Also, I just touched..."
Ye Chenghai threw the small white seal in his hand into the bucket several times, but he couldn't get rid of it. Its eight tentacles were tightly attached to his hand and refused to come down.
The children nearby all squeezed their heads together, looking into the jar with one eye open and one eye closed, wishing they could snatch it away and take out the food themselves.
"Brother, let me help you~"
"Brother Ahai, let me do it, let me help you dig it out~"
"I'll do it~"
They pushed and shoved each other, all reaching out to grab it.
But Ye Chenghai held it high and refused to let them take it. "I found it. Don't even think about it. I can catch it myself. You can find it on your own."
Ye Yaodong was an expert with many skills. He casually took the jar and reached inside. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he actually pulled out a small white seal.
"There's another one~"
The children cheered with joy.
"Take a quick look, is there anything else?"
"Anything else? Uncle San~"
Ye Yaodong handed the octopus in his hand to Ye Chenghai, motioning him to grab it and throw it into the bucket, and then he touched the smooth wall of the earthenware jar.
"No more, just two."
"oh… "
"Well, two octopuses in one jar is not bad. Just leave the jar here. It's better to tie it up with a rope and tie it to a rock to prevent it from being washed away by the waves. Use this jar to catch octopuses. When you are free or the tide goes out, come and take a look from time to time to see if there are any more."
"Ah? Is this possible?" Ye Chenghai widened his eyes.
The other children looked at him in surprise.
The octopus seems to be obsessed with all kinds of containers, and it longs to hide in hollow containers. Moreover, its body is particularly soft. Even if the mouth of the bottle is small, several times smaller than its body, it can stretch like a rubber band and easily get in.
Fishermen in some places would tie broken pottery jars of various shapes to long ropes and sink them to the bottom of the sea every morning.
After a few hours, when the fishermen bring up the clay jar, if they are lucky, there will be an octopus living in the jar. The octopus inside will be extremely stubborn and refuse to come out of its comfortable home.
It’s actually not a new thing to use this clay pot to catch fish, it’s just that the children have never heard of it. But now we know that octopuses really like to drill into various containers and pipes.
After Ye Yaodong spoke briefly, the children's eyes lit up like the stars in the sky.
"Wow, Uncle San you are awesome~"
"Uncle San, you are so understanding. That's really amazing~"
"Uncle San, you know more than my father. I admire you so much."
Ye Chenghai quickly snatched the clay pot from his arms, "I'll go get a rope from home later, and find some bottles and jars, and string them together with the rope..."
"I want one too. I want one too~"
A group of them were shouting there. After learning that they could catch octopuses in this way, the children were very excited and couldn't wait to go home and rummage through their drawers to try it out.
On the other side, the three people tied to the pillars stretched their necks, almost turning into giraffes, looking at this side eagerly. They were talking excitedly there all day long, but they had no idea what they were talking about, and they felt uncomfortable and anxious in their hearts.
Ye Chenghu was originally leaning against the pillar facing the door. Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he moved a little and was able to see the beach outside. He could also see them talking excitedly there.
"Ah, Grandma, please help me untie it..."
It’s so painful to be able to only watch but not participate. He also wants to join. If he had known earlier, he would not have quarreled and fought with Yangyang. How hateful.
"It's all your fault! I hate you so much!"
Ye Chengyang saw Ye Chenghu, who had moved to his side and could see his shoulder, and he cursed, "You are the one who is annoying. Your whole family is annoying."
"Your whole family is disgusting, you bastard!"
"You were born of a pig!"
"You son of a bitch!"
Lin Xiuqing: What did she do wrong
Ye Chenghe watched them arguing and didn't realize that they were born of the same mother. He just thought they were so noisy.
"Can you guys shut up? I can't hear what they are saying. Why is my brother holding on to the clay pot? Damn it, I think I saw them catch an octopus just now. Ah, I'm an idiot, why should I be tied up with you guys?"
"You silly!"
"You're stupid!"
Ye Chenghe did not give up and struggled several times, but it was of no avail. He could only cry and continue to ask the old lady for help, "Grandma, don't pick leeks..."
The old lady was sitting in the armchair next to them, pulling off the yellow part of the tail of the leek bit by bit, intending to pull it clean so that she could make a bowl of scrambled eggs for lunch, which the whole family loved.
"You asked to be tied up, what are you saying now?"
Ye Chenghe wanted to cry but had no tears...
"I regret… "
The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay, just be good, just tie them here, and your mother will scold them when she comes back."
They thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Mother said we were not allowed to go to the beach or play in the water, but my third uncle took them all to the beach to pick up things, and they would definitely be scolded when they came back.
This is the only way I can comfort myself.
But they were still itching to find it, so they could only stretch their necks and watch as they seemed to have dispersed again, looking everywhere.
"Why haven't they come back yet
“What if they come back and they have caught them all
How could he watch his brother being scolded if he wasn’t caught on the spot
Ye Chenghe prayed desperately in his heart that his mother would come back soon, but God did not hear his voice. However, his uncle and the others walked further away along the beach.
Now I don’t know whether to be disappointed or relieved
He didn't know what they picked up. He felt upset and decided not to do such stupid things next time.
Ye Yaodong had long forgotten about the three boys tied to the pillars. Having a few fewer people would reduce his burden, and the boys were the most mischievous.
The large team he is leading now is made up of girls, who seem to be well-behaved. They try their best to avoid puddles. Unlike Ye Chenghai and his gang, they would step hard into a puddle when they see one.
A complete dangerous element.
"Ye Chenghai, if you step into the puddle again, your legs will be broken when your mother comes back."
Ye Chenghai held his precious earthenware jar, and said, "Hehe, my mother always says that my legs have never been broken."
"Okay, I'll tell your mother when she comes back."
“Hehe~”
"Hey? I found a can!"
"Ah, you're so lucky~"
"Look again, there should be more..."
Ye Xiuxiu and several other girls happily gathered together to talk, and then continued to look for the missing item together, showing great unity.
But it seems a bit off track
Aren’t they going to the sea to pick up shells and seafood
How did it become picking up bottles and cans
Ye Yaodong was puzzled.
"Uncle San, Uncle San, there are a few stranded small yellow croakers here. Shall we take them back and fry them?" Ye Chengjiang bent down and stood up again, holding the tail of a small yellow croaker in each hand, with a bright smile on his face.
Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "Does your family have more oil, or does my family have more oil?"
"Your home, hehe~"
"That's wishful thinking." Ye Yaodong walked over, thought for a moment and said, "Throw it in first, and then we'll see how many there are. Is it enough for a bowl? You little brats have eaten me out of money. I don't know if you guys have eaten me out of money, but anyway, you've made my entire pockets empty."
"Uncle San, you are going to make a lot of money. What does a little oil mean to you? It's just right for you to replenish yourself. If you eat well and stay strong, you can make more money."
"You're wrong. You have to be handsome and strong to make more money!"
"ah?"
"What do you mean only the handsome and strong ones can make money?"
“Why do you have to be handsome and strong to make money?”
They were all a little confused. Their parents always said that only those who were healthy and strong could work and earn money. Why was everything different for Uncle San
Ye Yaodong didn't think he was corrupting the children, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't explain. He wanted to make sure these innocent children weren't corrupted.
"Why are you asking so many questions, kid? Hurry up and find it. The lunch is up to you. It's up to you whether you want to have something spicy or just plain rice and tea."
Ye Chenghai patted his chest and assured, "Watch me."
Others also made assurances.
Ye Yaodong strolled along the beach holding Ye Xiaoxi, enjoying the already somewhat warm sea breeze and letting a group of naughty monkeys run free. It felt quite relaxing.
From time to time, I could kick the big rock under my feet by feel to confirm if there was anything underneath.
However, there were not many people who could find anything missing because those children who were walking behind him grew up on the beach and had as much experience as him. When they saw larger rocks or puddles, they would think of moving them away.
Just as one group of people were eagerly waiting and another group was looking everywhere with great interest, three women, all with hunched backs and carrying an extra-large sack on their shoulders, were slowly moving back.
When Ye Yaodong saw this, he ignored the group of kids and rushed over to them, "You're carrying such a big bag back? Why don't you come back and call for help, or go push a cart?"
"Have you forgotten? This morning, my eldest and second brothers borrowed a cart from us, and each of them pushed one to go chop firewood."
"You can also go there by bike."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at her eldest and second sisters-in-law who had also stopped to rest, smiled, and said nothing.
Who else can use a bicycle to the fullest extent without any burden like him? It is a big treasure, and her elder and second sisters-in-law don't ride bicycles. She goes with them, so how can she ride alone
"You guys, come back here. Where are your ears? I told you not to play in the water, but you still ran to the beach. I'm going to stop you from retreating."
"Come back here, all dead!"
The children who were searching earnestly were suddenly frightened out of their wits and quickly ran back, shouting, "It was Uncle San who wanted to take us there. It's none of our business."
"Yes, it was Uncle San who took us there!"
"Mom, it's all Uncle San. Everything we catch should be given to Uncle San."
They had a strong desire to survive and quickly put the blame on Ye Yaodong!
When they ran back to him, they put the bucket at his feet and hurried home.
Little did they know that the most dangerous place was home, and going back would be like walking into a trap!
Ye Yaodong looked at the pile of buckets at his feet and looked at them with contempt: "You are worse than birds of the same forest. You didn't even take the buckets back but just left them here."
"That's your bucket, it's none of our business."
"Mom, it was my third uncle who asked us to prepare lunch for him." Ye Chenghai started to cook without any hesitation.
"Your uncle asked you to eat shit, will you eat it?"
"Uncle San didn't ask me to eat shit!"
"You think your uncle's farts smell good."
"No, it still stinks..."
She responded to every word he said, and Mrs. Ye's face turned so dark that she was about to lose her temper.
"Why don't you just go home? Your pants are all wet, can't you see? You can go back and take off your pants and get beaten."
At this moment, they all stopped at their doorsteps, feeling that their homes were too dangerous.
He quickly turned around and went to his uncle's house. His uncle was responsible for them, and there were three more people tied to the pillar!
Now they all remembered.
