Island Fishing Grounds

Chapter 19: Humanoid jade carving and looking for a mobile phone

Views:

Li Shu was afraid that the shovel would hurt the treasure, so he dug little by little with his hands. After many breaths, Li Shu finally dug out the so-called treasure.

In order to dig out the treasure, Li Shu's fingernails were filled with mud, and fleshy "hangnails" appeared next to the nails of several fingers, which was very painful.

But it's all worth it, especially when you see the treasure unearthed - a human figure carved from jade, light blue in color, about 1.5 meters high, short, sturdy and lifelike.

"Holy shit, it's so heavy." Li Shu gritted his teeth and moved the "human jade sculpture" to the sea little by little. He panted heavily from exhaustion and looked up. It was already evening.

Huhuhu~

The evening wind was blowing quietly, and large swaths of gorgeous fire clouds had appeared in the western sky. Although the fire clouds were all red, the complexity and variety of this red color was even more complicated than a woman's lipstick.

"It's so beautiful~" Li Shu hugged the "human jade sculpture" and sat on the beach to rest.

"GuluGulu~"

Li Shu's stomach growled for a while, and he was instantly brought back to reality. He smacked his mouth and said, "I'm hungry, so I'd better move the human jade sculpture back to the basement of the villa quickly, and then find food."

After Li Shu moved the human-shaped jade sculpture to the east corner of the basement of the villa and locked the door, he went to take a good bath, changed his clothes and went downstairs.

"Woof woof~"

"Tweet~"

The golden retriever dog and the thrush were waiting for him on the first floor. When he saw him coming down, the thrush flew directly to his shoulder and jumped twice happily. The golden retriever dog circled around the plum tree and stuck out its tongue to lick his from time to time. Back of hand.

"It seems that I forgot something..." Looking at the shaking golden retriever, Li Shu frowned slightly. Suddenly his pupils shrank and shouted: "Fuck, I remembered, where is my phone? Silly dog, I Where’s the phone you were looking at?”

"Hmph~" The golden retriever didn't know what Li Shu was talking about, and kept circling around him. Li Shu even squatted down, stretched out his hand and started to knead the dog's face: "Come on~ When I just landed, not only were there no mobile phones on the beach , and not you stupid dog, where did you take my mobile phone in your mouth? You must have taken it away, or else it was those little hermit crabs that carried it away? "

"Hmm~" The golden retriever didn't understand what Li Shu was talking about. He thought Li Shu was going to play with him. He barked happily for a moment, stepped back and then pounced, then stepped back and pounced again.

"Silly dog~" Li Shu couldn't laugh or cry.

It was getting late, so he went to the villa where Uncle Hai lived for dinner. Uncle Hai was indeed a chef when he was young, and his skills were very good.

Uncle Hai stewed part of the beef that Li Shu asked Li Sha to bring back. It was smooth and soft, with an endless aftertaste.

The decoration of the villa where Uncle Hai lives is much simpler, with white as the main color tone, and Uncle Hai likes dark antique tables and chairs, so the table in the restaurant is a wooden Eight Immortals table.

After swallowing the beef in his mouth, Li Shu said: "Um... Uncle Hai, I want to use your mobile phone later. I don't know where my mobile phone was taken by the golden retriever. I want to make a call and see if I can Can't find phone by ringtone."

Uncle Hai was stunned: "The dog took the phone away? Of course that's no problem."

Li Shu glared at the golden retriever lying on the ground to his right. The latter was lying on the ground with a fawning look on his face. He put his chin on the ground and looked up at Li Shu as he ate. His big tail lifted up and then came down, making a snapping sound on the ground.

After dinner, Li Shu used Uncle Hai's mobile phone to dial his own mobile phone number, and then searched in the northeast villa. The first thing he looked for was the areas where golden retrievers often hang out, including bedrooms, restaurants, and the steps outside the villa where they often lie. .

"Hey, I didn't hear the sound." Li Shu couldn't help but frown. His mobile phone was not expensive, but it contained a mobile phone card and some information that was very precious to him personally.

The sky had turned dark. Li Shu ran all over the upstairs and downstairs of the villa, then walked out of the villa and walked around a few times, but still found nothing.

Just when Li Shu's heart sank to the bottom, suddenly, a chirping sound came from the grass in front of him: "Chirp Chirp~ Chirp Chirp~"

Li Shu quickly ran over and dug up the waist-deep grass, and saw the thrush jumping up and down on the mobile phone, buzzing. The vibration sound of the mobile phone was too small, and it was sealed in the bag. It was impossible to hear it when it was far away. .

"I've found you!" Li Shu suddenly felt a sense of joy at being found. He even picked up his cell phone, took it out of the plastic bag, and walked to the villa where Uncle Hai lived.

"Yes, it's not broken." Li Shu came to the living room of the villa where Uncle Hai lived, returned Uncle Hai's mobile phone to him, and then sat down next to him: "Thanks to the thrush, it found the mobile phone in the grass and used it The cry led me there."

Uncle Hai was also surprised and said with a smile: "Thrushes are indeed very smart."

"By the way, Uncle Hai, I'll transfer your salary to you." Li Shu opened his cell phone and smiled.

Uncle Hai is the "island guard". He usually does simple care and management work on Neverland, earning 500 ringgit a month.

This salary is undoubtedly relatively low, but Uncle Hai's job is easy, almost like an island vacation. In addition, he would also plant some sugar cane and strawberries on the island to supplement his living expenses. In total, he can earn 1 More than 10,000 ringgit, equivalent to about 15,000 yuan.

This income is not low among the islanders.

From June to December, it was a total of 7 months, which was RM3,500. Then Li Shu transferred an additional RM2,500. After all, Uncle Hai had to take care of his daily diet.

"Some of the vegetables and meat that are necessary for life, just buy what you need. There is no need to save." Li Shu said with a smile. Although he transferred 45 million ringgit, part of the money from selling crabs + part of the money from selling pearls, his card There is still RM75,800 left in it.

This money is enough to support his life for a long time.

"Yeah!" Uncle Hai smiled happily. He was very shy when it came to salary. If Li Shu didn't take the initiative to give it, he wouldn't ask for it. But he didn't have much money to live on, and he was always struggling. , now that Li Shu took the initiative to give it, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

the next morning.

As usual, Li Shu woke up to the chirping of the thrush. He frowned and looked at his phone and found that it was only 5:40.

"Little guy, you are really on time." Li Shu touched the thrush's little head, but his eyes stayed on the phone again, and he sighed slightly:

"Su Zhizhe hasn't called me yet, proving that the money hasn't been completely transferred back. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I have to cancel the flight ticket I booked. Anyway, I can only get on the plane if the money is completely transferred back to the mainland. So if something happens I can always ask Su Zhizhe to handle any accidents."

Huhuhu~

The morning breeze was blowing, and the sound of sea water was carried by the wind. Li Shu took the golden retriever dog for a run on the island, and the thrush went to the woods to look for worms to eat.

After running through the beach and the rugged path, one person and one dog soon came to the durian tree in the woods.

Li Shu looked up at the huge durians covered with thorns on the tree. Dots of sunlight shone on his face through the gaps between the leaves. The woods were filled with the sounds of birdsong, cicadas, and the rustling of insects in the soil. Together, they form a wonderful movement of nature.

"Hiss~ The air in the woods is really fresh, but looking at those huge durians, maybe I should tie them to the branches, so that I don't have to worry about them falling to the ground and being eaten by ants when they are ripe." Li Shu smiled.
