Chapter 294: accidental discovery

  Chapter 294 Accidental Discovery

  After dragging up the first net of fish, Ye Yaodong found nothing good or special, and left it to his father to sort it out, and he drove the boat to the reef.

   At this time, the sky has turned pale, and the scene on the sea without the lights is clearly visible.

   That hidden reef has indeed risen again.

  He was a little excited. Could it be that he has just emerged and is still on the rise?

  He slowly drove the boat closer, careful not to hit the rocks.

  After approaching, there are indeed many abalones and conchs adsorbed on the reef, which are clearly visible.

  The height is not high, the highest position of the reef above the water surface is only about one meter, most of them are still under the water, and there are no little blue dragons around.

   "Father, come and see, is this reef rising or sinking?" He couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't be sure.

  Father Ye hurriedly dropped the fish he was busy with, ran to the bow of the boat and watched it carefully, "Why didn't I see anything move?"

"I also feel that way."

   "The area of ​​the reef that emerges from the water is too small, and there is no way to step on the surrounding area. Those abalones and conch are not easy to pick."

  Ye Yaodong also frowned. There was really no place to step on. Last time the reef also sank to about this position, so they gave up and boarded the boat early.

   "Otherwise, let's just wait here and see if it will move again?" Father Ye suggested, because the value of abalone is really too great, and he is reluctant to give it up.

  What if it sinks directly?

  Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while, "Father, let's tie the hook to the bamboo pole, and we will hold the buckle of the bamboo pole on the boat, and catch it with the net."

   "Abalone and conch are big, and the suction is quite strong, so it may not be easy to hook."

   "Try, just work a little harder, and check as many as you can."

  Hooks and bamboo poles are ready-made on the boat, but they have to be tied tightly, and if they are loosened a little, they will be crooked and difficult to hook.

  Father and son worked together, one was holding a handmade net, the other was holding a long hook, Ye Yaodong hooked it hard, unexpectedly they managed to overturn a fat abalone.

   "It's done!"

  The confidence of the two of them suddenly increased. Although it took a little effort, as long as they can dig it out, it will be a success.

  Ye Yaodong tried to hook the conch again, but failed for a long time, because the fleshy area on the top of his head was too large, and the adsorption was too tight.

  Actually, the adsorption capacity of abalone is also very amazing. Most of them live on deep-water rocks. Most of the rocks are cliff-like and the currents are turbulent.

  When the food brought by the current flows past the abalone on the cliff, the abalone must ensure that it will not be swept away by the current when catching food.

  So it must be adsorbed on the reef with a large adsorption force, that is, it needs a large suction cup area to attach to the reef, and the suction cup is the soft foot of the abalone. If people want to uncover it, they must pay a lot of effort.

   Therefore, when catching abalone, you can only take it by surprise and shovel it down or overturn it with lightning speed, otherwise, even if you smash its shell, you will never want to remove it.

  Ye Yaodong once had an experience. Just now, he made a fast and precise hook, which made it fall into the net.

  The conch can't be hooked, so I can only give up first.

  The reef is only one meter high, and there are not many abalones. After he was busy for a while, they dug up all the abalones on the surface of the reef, and even some that could be found under the water surface, but the reef remained motionless.

   This made both father and son a little puzzled.

   "Maybe this reef will be like this in the future, neither ascending nor descending? Why don't you go to the island and stop for a while, cook something for breakfast, and then take a look after eating?"

  Ye Yaodong nodded.

  Some natural phenomena are so weird that you can't expect them at all, so you have to observe them for a while.

He is also very familiar with the isolated island next to him. Although he felt a little awkward thinking of the corpse, but considering his dream, he felt that since he had come here again, he might as well serve a bowl of sacrifice later, as a memorial to his previous life. of myself.

   What is brought out today is rice cakes. You have to eat rice cakes to make money at the beginning of the new year, which means that every year is getting better every year.

  Put in fresh seafood and cabbage, and after boiling, he scooped out a bowl first.

   "Father, since I stopped here, I'll take a bowl and go up the mountain."

   "Huh?" Father Ye frowned and hesitated for a while. Although he felt unlucky, he didn't say anything. The dead are the worst, "Then you go and come back quickly."

  Ye Yaodong hurried up the mountain, not far away, only ten meters away from the sea.

  The sacrifices that were placed before are gone, only the bowl is still there, which should have been washed away by the rain.

  He put down the freshly cooked rice cakes that were still hot, and bowed three times, "I never thought I'd come back here today, so come and say goodbye by the way, and bless my life with success and peace."

  Whether you get rich or not is not the most important thing. Only when everything goes well can your wishes come true.

  After muttering a sentence, he planned to turn around quickly and leave, but when he turned around, he saw a stone under the tree on the left under the reflection of the sun, which stabbed his eyes.

  He narrowed his eyes uncomfortably, and then walked over curiously to have a look.

  A fist-sized golden stone, half of which seemed to be buried in the mud, he picked it up curiously, and when he turned it around for inspection, his pupils constricted instantly.

   "Golden dog head!"

   "Fuck! Is it really gold?"

  Although the whole body of the golden stone in the hand is relatively round, there are some honeycomb-like pits on the surface, and some protruding parts.

  Golden dog head is also called "horseshoe gold". Although it has "gold" in its name, it is actually a mixed mineral that is naturally produced and contains large particles of irregular placer gold.

   Simply put, "dog head gold" is a gold ore with low purity, but it has the meaning of collection.

  Most people like to pay attention to a "auspiciousness". The dog's head gold is upright, round, and has a strange shape. It is often regarded as a symbol of prosperity and auspiciousness, and it will bring people luck.

  More importantly, the appearance of "dog head gold" is not accidental. It often means that there is a gold mine in the place where it is discovered.

  Ye Yaodong looked back and forth happily, and suddenly he thought of something, put the dog's head gold in his hand back into his pocket, found a flat stone to dig on the spot, dug down more than 20 centimeters, but found nothing.

   Changed the position of the block again, and continued to dig beside it.

  Dig five small holes in a row. Just when he heard his father's voice and was about to give up, he suddenly bumped into a hard object in a hole more than ten centimeters deep.

  He put down the stone in his hand, and after digging a few times with his hands, he saw the shiny golden corner again, and his eyes widened in surprise.

again?

   His father's cry was getting closer and closer to his ear, he quickly turned his head to answer, and then quickly started digging happily.

  As he dug, more and more rounded corners were exposed, and another corner emerged from the bottom. He thought there were two, but he didn't expect to pull out one.

   It’s just that this piece of dog’s head gold is a bit smaller, and its color is not as golden as that of the previous piece. The two horns just exposed are like two “ears”, like a rabbit’s head?

   No wonder it is said that the dog head gold is generally in the form of a beast.

  Hearing his father's voice getting closer, he turned his head to look for a while, and didn't bother to look for it any more. He put one in his pocket and hurried down the mountain first, so as not to worry him.
