Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 40 A typhoon is coming!
Wu Sui threw the large blue crab into the plastic bucket that Su Yu was carrying.
Inside, the blue crab waved its large pincers and frantically scratched at the sides of the bucket.
There's only one, no need to tie it up. We'll just cook porridge for it when we get home tonight.
The radar screen in my mind remained constantly on.
With three-dimensional detection, the situation beneath the mud layer is fully visible.
After walking less than twenty steps, a huge green ball of light appeared directly in front of them.
Wu Sui stopped and drew a circle on the mud with a shovel.
"There's a big shipment down here."
Su Yuxing rushed over, swinging a short-handled sand shovel.
With the sleeves rolled up to the shoulders, the original color of the sneakers on his feet was completely obscured.
"Brother Wu, let me try!" Su Yu was eager to try and got into a fighting stance.
Wu Gang stood to the side, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke as a reminder.
"Young Master, the crab claws down there are very strong; they might just snap your fingers."
Su Yu stiffened his neck, completely unconcerned.
"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we can just pick you up from the hospital."
Wu Sui took a step back, giving up his seat.
"Okay, move back one foot along the circle I drew, cut off its retreat first, then dig down from the front."
Su Yu gripped the shovel handle with both hands and forcefully plunged it into the mud.
The mud underneath the mudflats was very solid, and he, who usually never lifted a finger, was now putting in all his strength.
His face turned bright red before he finally managed to press the shovel all the way down.
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down and, imitating Wu Sui, took a sand shovel and began to dig mud along the hole.
Mud splashed all over his face and body.
His fair face was covered in black mud splatters, and his hair was stuck to his forehead.
Wu Gang chuckled at the sight, pointing at Su Yu with his cigarette between his fingers.
"If your sister saw you like this, she would be heartbroken."
Without even looking up, Su Yu simply threw away the small shovel and reached both hands directly into the mud to scoop it out.
Suddenly, the muddy water surged violently.
A blue crab the size of a palm darted out.
The two large pincers opened fully and went straight for Su Yu's fingers to cut them.
"Holy crap!" Su Yu was so scared that he sat down on the muddy floor and scrambled back with his hands.
Wu Sui reacted quickly, stepping on the crab's shell.
The blue crab was trampled into the mud and could only wave its pincers in vain.
"Quickly, get the buckets and fill them up."
Su Yu climbed out of the mud, not bothering to brush off the dirt, and grabbed the edge of the bucket to pull the blue crab inside.
"I caught it, Brother Wu, I caught it!" Su Yu jumped up and down excitedly, holding the bucket and showing it to Wu Gang.
"Brother, look, this one isn't any smaller than the one Angkor caught earlier, is it?"
Wu Gang flicked his cigarette ash: "Not bad, you're lucky, kid."
For the next half hour or so, Wu Sui led the way, while Su Yu was in charge of digging.
Whenever Wu Sui stopped and drew circles, Su Yu would excitedly pounce on him and dig in the mud.
The kid didn't care at all about being covered in mud; he just kept digging with more enthusiasm.
From being clumsy at the beginning, I gradually got the hang of it and my movements became much more skillful.
As the tide receded, a larger area of mudflats was revealed.
The plastic bucket Su Yu was carrying already contained five or six large blue crabs.
They squeezed together inside, blowing bubbles with a clattering sound.
"Brother Wu, take a break, I'll try to find it myself." Su Yu was brimming with confidence, shining his flashlight ahead.
Wu Sui was happy to have some free time, so he took out a cigarette case, handed one to Wu Gang, and lit one for himself.
Not far away, Su Yu's excited voice came from behind.
"There's a hole! There's a flat, round hole!"
Su Yu didn't even wait for Wu Sui to come over and confirm before he plunged a shovel into the ground.
He dug and shoveled, and in no time he pulled out a crab.
However, it's not very big, weighing at most three or four ounces.
Su Yu ran back, holding the little crab, to show it off.
"Angkor, look, I found it myself."
Wu Sui exhaled a smoke ring: "Alright, you've graduated."
Su Yu threw the small crab into the bucket, then turned around and went to look for more.
A few minutes later, he found another hole and dug out a fish weighing about half a pound.
The series of successes drove Su Yu into a frenzy.
The beam of the flashlight swept across the mudflats.
Wu Gang frowned slightly as he watched Su Yu's retreating figure.
"Second brother, something's not right." Wu Gang pointed to the mudflats in front of him, a cigarette between his fingers.
Wu Sui had already noticed something was wrong.
On the radar screen in his mind, the dots representing seafood were ridiculously dense.
Normally, mud crabs are only found sporadically in this mudflat.
But now, within the radar's scanning range, patches of green lights are lighting up.
This is completely illogical.
Just as I was pondering this, Wang Feng's loud voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Second brother, eldest brother, come here quickly!"
Wu Sui and Wu Gang exchanged a glance and quickly strode over.
Wang Feng was standing next to a shallow puddle.
He was holding a flashlight in his hand, and there were two large red buckets at his feet.
Chen Xue led her two children to stand on a slightly higher, dry spot.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Wu Sui approached.
Wang Feng pointed to the mudflats ahead, sweeping the beam of her flashlight across them.
In the dim light, small mounds of earth could be seen all over the muddy surface.
Some of the mounds have even broken open.
One after another, blue crabs emerged from their burrows, rampaging rampantly across the mud.
Some were incredibly large, with carapaces as big as large bowls.
The two pliers gleamed with a bluish-black light under the flashlight beam.
The ground was covered with blue crabs!
The density is enough to make your scalp tingle.
"What... what's going on?" Su Yu ran over carrying half a bucket of crabs, and his mouth dropped open when he saw the scene before him.
Wang Feng didn't care about anything else, shoved the flashlight into Chen Xue's hand, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed in.
"Who cares what happened? This is all money! Arrest them already!"
When faced with such a free bargain, Wang Feng acted faster than anyone else.
She grabbed a large blue crab by the back with one hand and threw it directly into the bucket at her feet.
Wu Sui also came to her senses.
These blue crabs, scattered all over the ground, scurried out of their burrows, practically delivering themselves as extra income.
"Chen Xue, watch the child and don't let him come down. There are crabs all over the place down there," Wu Sui instructed before turning to join the fray.
The four men launched a frantic sweep across the mudflats.
There's no need to find a hole or dig.
You can just bend down and scoop one up with ease.
"This money is too easy to make, it's like picking it up off the street." Su Yu grabbed one in each hand, threw them into the bucket, and turned around to grab another.
Wang Feng grabbed the buckets the most vigorously, and soon both buckets were more than half full.
There were too many crabs, and they started crawling out of the bucket because it couldn't hold them all.
Wu Gang simply stopped catching crabs and took a large bundle of plastic rope from his belt, which he then used to tie up the crabs.
With one hand holding down the crab's back, the other hand quickly used rope to tightly bind the two large pincers and eight legs.
Tie a knot, then throw it onto the dry ground nearby.
Wu Gang's hand speed was extremely fast, but it still couldn't keep up with the speed at which Wu Sui and the others caught the prey.
The pile of blue crabs on the ground grew larger and larger, and Wu Gang squatted on the ground, his hands flying constantly.
Chen Xue also helped tie up the crabs, while the two younger ones used sticks to dig mud pits on the side.
"Boss, hurry up, the bucket is about to overflow." Wang Feng urged, throwing two large blue crabs at Wu Gang's feet.
Wu Gang didn't say anything, but simply quickened his pace.
After tying over a hundred of them together, Wu Gang's fingers began to ache and cramp.
He stopped what he was doing and shook his wrist.
Standing up, Wu Gang didn't look at the pile of blue crabs on the ground, but instead turned to look at the dark sea.
The sea breeze was stronger than before.
It carried a strong fishy smell and dampness.
The sky was completely dark, without a single star.
The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was much more subdued than when we arrived.
Wu Gang took a deep breath, his face becoming very serious.
"Boss, what are you staring at? Hurry up and tie them up, there are still a lot left."
Wang Feng walked over carrying half a bucket of crabs. Seeing Wu Gang standing still, she complained with dissatisfaction.
Wu Gang turned his head and looked at Wu Sui and Su Yu, who were still frantically picking up crabs in the mudflats.
"Second brother, stop grabbing him." Wu Gang's voice was low and deep, tinged with inexplicable panic.
Wu Sui straightened up, still holding two menacing crabs in his hands.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Wu Gang pointed to the blue crabs that had unusually emerged from their burrows on the ground, and then to the dark sky.
"The creatures in the sea are more cunning than people."
"They're running away in droves; they're trying to escape."
Wang Feng was stunned, forgetting to put down the crab she was holding.
"Hurry up and pack your things and go home." Wu Gang turned to look at Wu Sui, his tone more serious than ever before.
"A typhoon is coming..."
