Chapter 1717: Heaven’s Jealousy of Talent 79
Jiang Debin dived several times and fished out sea urchins, starfish, and a large conch from the water.
"Hi~" Jiang Debin grabbed the conch, raised his hand and waved to her, then swam over and handed the conch to her: "This is for you."
Xining took the conch. It was really big, like a big bowl, and there were thorns of different lengths on the edge. It was beautiful and special.
There are basically no hermit crabs to live in such a large conch, and it usually becomes a home for larger invertebrates such as octopuses.
"Thank you!" Although she can't take away the things from this world, she can still love the beautiful things, so she can just hold them and look at them.
When the food collected was almost done, everyone got on the boat and picked up the cages that had been put down. Five lobsters were actually caught in a dozen straw cages.
"Hey~" Jiang Debin shouted, but the villagers had already thrown a lobster into the sea.
When the translator explained, the lobster was too small and the lobster should be put back.
Then the villagers grabbed another one and threw it back into the sea.
This lobster is quite big. The reason is that it is a female and has eggs in its belly, so it cannot be eaten.
This can ensure that the lobster population reproduces as much as possible. Unexpectedly, this place without writing can carry out sustainable development.
But it is precisely this that allows them to live in this not-so-rich place and become one with the heaven and earth.
There were only three lobsters left to eat. After stuffing the flamboyant lobsters into grass cages, the villagers rowed back.
The villagers were rowing and singing songs, all of which were songs of thanksgiving and praising the sea. Although Jiang Debin and Zhe Zhiwei didn't understand what the lyrics were, the special melody made them feel relaxed.
After landing on the shore, they went to take a shower. Xining put on the dry sports clothes and pants, leaned against the tree, and a small awning was made with a cloth on the tree, drinking coconut water and resting.
The sea breeze blows, and the coconut leaves sway from time to time with the wind, making a rustling sound. It is so comfortable. I don't want to leave, but I think it's quite novel and comfortable to live like this for a few days. It's really been a long time, but I won't get used to it after all, and I won't stay in this place.
Zhe Zhiwei came over. He also changed into a sweatshirt and pants. His skin was a little red from the sun just now.
He imitated the locals and used a machete to chop off the top of the coconut. Although he was not skilled, he used Qi and had enough power to cut off the hard, round top of the coconut in a few strokes.
The villagers originally wanted to help, but seeing that he had taken care of it on his own, they continued to work on their own.
He put down the machete, inserted a reed pipe into the coconut, and sat next to her, leaning on the other side of the tree pole, as if he was back to back with her.
After taking two sips of coconut water, Zhe Zhiwei said softly: "Jiang Debin was not found."
Of course, the villagers are not stupid. They know that they are not one of their own, so they try not to let others know. The place they are taken to is definitely not a place with pearls.
"His intestines are more curved than yours." Xining raised the conch and shook it as a sign. People either go looking for pearls or go to sea.
Zhe Zhiwei's voice came: "Does this make you happy?"
This straight man with a paralyzed face doesn't know how to coax a girl.
Xining responded: "If it were you, would you be happy?"
Everyone will be happy when they receive a gift. Such a big conch will be a novelty for city people who don't live by the sea, even for ladies.
Zhe Zhiwei sat up, moved to her side, stretched out his hand in front of her, and spread it.
In his hand were actually a few crystal clear stones, like red emeralds. "Ha~" Xining was happy. This idiot didn't seem stupid. He picked up a piece and took a closer look.
"It should be quartzite, or glass." She looked at the stone, and Zhe Zhiwei looked at her.
"Oh, glass stone." She picked up another piece with her fingers and looked at it carefully.
"Do you know glass stone?" Zhe Zhiwei was a little surprised.
"Well, most of them are glass wine bottles. After drinking, they are thrown into the sea. After being washed by the sea water, they form glass stones like pebbles." Xining pointed a glass stone towards the sun. Even if it is glass, it is exceptionally beautiful. .
She put down the glass stone: "Don't you know that too?"
Zhe Zhiwei said with a slight smile on his lips: "The tenth district is also close to the sea. There are more glass stones there than here, and they are more beautiful. There is a beach called Gem Beach, which is full of glass stones. It won't hurt if you step on it. Feet.”
Because there are many cities in District 10, there is naturally more discarded glass. But think about a beach full of colorful glass stones. When the sun shines down, it must be beautiful.
It would be a lie to say that you are not excited. When you go to any plane, you first want to eat delicious food, and secondly you want to experience some natural or scientific wonders.
"Take it first!" Zhe Zhiwei put all the glass stones in her hand and took out an awl used by locals to drill holes from his trouser pocket.
He picked up one, pointed it at the glass stone with an awl, and finally drilled it in.
The first one was drilled through, but the second one cracked. After all, it is made of glass and is very brittle.
Zhe Zhiwei threw away the cracked glass stone, picked up another one, and continued drilling.
After all the drilling was done, even though he had good internal strength, he was still panting from exhaustion, and his fingers were calloused from holding the awl.
Zhe Zhiwei put down the awl, took out the necklace hung by the villagers around his neck, took it apart, used the shell and coconut flakes on it as accessories, and strung it on a perforated glass stone to make a bracelet.
"Here!" Zhe Zhiwei handed it over.
Xining took it and put it on his wrist: "It looks good, thank you." It really looks good and matches well.
I can’t help but think that such a bracelet will definitely be popular in the market.
"Don't think about it, making handicrafts is not feasible." Zhe Zhiwei seemed to have understood what she was thinking: "There are not many glass stones here, and even if there are many, they are limited resources. Visitors are prohibited from taking any away from the Gem Beach in District 10. If one piece of glass stone is found, he will be fined 10,000 yuan, and those who do not comply with the regulations will be ground with a glass blank on a grinding wheel, ground into a rough shape, and thrown into the beach."
Glass stone is formed by long-term seawater erosion. Although it is a little different when ground on a grinding wheel, it can still be used. In addition to the fine of 10,000 yuan, it is all the electricity bill when starting the grinding wheel machine.
Zhe Zhiwei looked at the sea in front of him and murmured: "Just use seashells and coconut shells. This jewelry is not valuable... It really doesn't matter what you want here."
That's why it won't be coveted by others, but this balance may be about to be broken.
"Will there be one here?" Zhe Zhiwei suddenly asked softly. We can't be sure, after all, we only heard about the pearls in Er Laizi's mouth, but we really didn't see any of them, and none of the villagers acknowledged it.
They thought that outsiders who came could not understand their language. But they didn't expect that Xining was an accident.
Xining was silent for a while and smiled: "Is this important?"
