He's already the Dragon King's son-in-law at such a young age?
Fortunately, the other sea cucumbers, grouper, and large yellow croaker were not taken out, otherwise they would have scared people.
Looking at the catch in Chang Kun's two sacks, Lei Guohong wondered if he was a fake seaside person.
He searched everywhere, but only managed to find a few sand clams, mussels, and a few razor clams.
Even excluding grouper and blue crab, Chang Kun's sack contained seven or eight pounds of razor clams and sand clams alone.
Did these clams and sand clams just jump right under Chang Kun's nose, and he can just pick them up like that?!
Just then, Hou Jun's voice came from afar: "Master, junior brother, look what I found!"
With a voice full of surprise, Hou Jun hurriedly ran towards the two of them, holding a burlap sack in his hands, on which was something.
"Wow, you guys are really lucky! You've picked up so many good things, and the monkey did well too." Lei Guohong clicked his tongue, wondering if it was their first time beachcombing and they were just lucky as newbies?
When Hou Jun ran closer, Chang Kun and Lei Guohong couldn't contain their curiosity and crowded around him to see what interesting things he had found.
Chang Kun glanced at it twice but couldn't recognize what it was.
This thing looks like a sun-dried squid, or a shrunken, yellowish-brown sea cucumber. It's swollen and a little meaty, and it looks like it would taste pretty good.
"Look, I've picked up seventeen or eighteen, enough to cook a big pot! Master and junior brothers, each of you take a couple back to try. This seaside is truly full of treasures!"
Lei Guohong gritted her teeth and suppressed a laugh: "Forget it, Chang Kun and I don't want it. You can take it back and eat it yourself."
"No, Master! We must share some of the good stuff, so please don't be shy!"
Chang Kun glanced at Lei Guohong and asked, "Master, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it in... What exactly is this?"
"Hahaha, you're really something, monkey! You dare to pick up and eat things you don't even recognize!" Lei Guohong laughed until tears streamed down his face.
Hou Jun then realized what was going on: "Master, what is this? Please explain it clearly. It looks a lot like dried meat to me."
Lei Guohong laughed for a while before speaking: "In my hometown, this thing is called 'sea hare,' and its scientific name is sea slug. Don't be fooled by its appearance; it tastes bitter and astringent and is impossible to chew. Most importantly, some sea hares are poisonous, and even the old fishermen on the coast dare not eat them."
"Huh?!" Hou Jun was greatly disappointed. He shook all the sea hares off the sack onto the ground and stomped on them a few times.
"It made me wander around for ages, picking up everything I could find!"
"If you could easily find good stuff on the beach, fishermen would be rich by now, and no one would go hungry." Lei Guohong had barely finished speaking when he thought of Chang Kun, this oddball, and quickly added, "But some people are lucky. Even someone like Chang Kun might not necessarily find good stuff..."
At this moment, Hou Jun noticed how much stuff Chang Kun had in his sack and exclaimed, "Junior brother, where did you find so much? I picked up some snails and a few small fish and shrimp from your puddle."
Lei Guohong looked at his sack and realized he was in a worse situation; he only had a few clams and razor clams, and the rest he had traded with local fishermen.
"Brother Monkey, I've collected quite a few razor clams and sand clams. I'll share some with you." Chang Kun grabbed a handful from the sack and stuffed them into the other two sacks.
"How can this be done..." the two of them said, making excuses.
"Don't be shy, we found it on the beach anyway. Let's talk about what to do with the shark."
"What? A shark?" Hou Jun looked in the direction Chang Kun was pointing. "Wow! Such a big fish, how come it's completely buried in sand? I didn't even notice it!"
Lei Guohong, a coastal native, had seen sharks a few times, while Hou Jun had never even heard of one, let alone seen one. He just circled around the shark, looking at it with curiosity.
"Ouch, those big teeth!"
"Look at that big head and big tail!"
"Alright, stop looking! There won't be any more cars left!" Lei Guohong thought for a moment and said, "This shark probably weighs over a hundred pounds. We can't just throw it away. Let's put it in a sack and take turns carrying it!"
"Okay, Master, I'll carry it!" Hou Jun's eyes lit up. It would be so much fun to carry such a big fish through the streets and alleys!
"That would be great!"
With Hou Jun volunteering to carry the fish, Lei Guohong and Chang Kun were spared the trouble; they simply picked up the sacks and left.
Hou Jun regretted it after carrying it for a few steps. The shark was still alive, its head facing the sack with its tail sticking out, swaying back and forth, making it difficult for him to walk steadily.
"Oh dear, Master, this won't do. I'm afraid we won't be able to get to the bus stop before dark."
"I can't bear to throw it away, but it's too much trouble to take it. It's so frustrating!" Lei Guohong sighed.
Chang Kun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Monkey, go find two long, thick sticks. We'll put the sticks through the sack and carry it together."
"Hey! That's a great idea! I'll go find some sticks! Junior brother, you're really smart!" Without having to carry the shark, Hou Jun ran to the beach, found a small tree, and brought back two branches.
The branches were threaded through the bottom of the burlap sack, and the opening of the sack was tied slightly, creating a shape that resembled a stretcher.
Chang Kun carried the front bag, Hou Jun carried the back bag, and Lei Guohong carried several other sacks on his back as they walked along the main road toward the bus stop.
This was quite an event; more and more people gathered to watch. Even though this was the beach, sharks were a rare sight.
When they arrived at the bus stop, it was packed with people. If the three of them hadn't been wearing police uniforms, someone probably would have tried to forcibly buy their goods.
Many people offered the three men cigarettes, just to find out where they caught the big fish. They seemed to think that as long as they chose the right location, they could also catch a big fish.
Hou Jun's mouth was crooked as he walked along, and although he didn't catch the shark himself, it didn't affect his smug mood at all.
Once on the bus, everyone craned their necks to look at the shark. Even the driver, upon hearing that the shark had been found on the beach, widened his eyes in surprise. He had been driving a bus along the coast and had never heard of finding a shark on the beach before.
As they entered the train station, Hou Jun exclaimed, "Junior brother, I wish I could be as lucky as you! Everyone along the way has been staring at us with wide eyes."
Upon entering the station, Chang Kun and Hou Jun carried the shark, while Lei Guohong carried several sacks behind them. People who knew him greeted him from time to time.
"Hey! Old Lei, where did you buy such a big guy!"
"What? You caught it yourself? You're just making this up!"
"They really caught them? My God!"
Hou Jun walked ahead with his neck held high, greeting everyone he met with smug satisfaction. He found a train bound for Beijing, and when he met a fellow police officer he knew in the dining car, he boasted even more, claiming that sharks were his prey.
What?! He fought a shark in the sea for half an hour, almost got bitten, and finally rode it ashore...
The train police and attendants were stunned, thinking that Hou Jun had somehow become a peerless master.
