Chapter 330 Red Abalone: Please Spare Me (1)
In the middle of the sea, there is a fishing boat.
This place is very, very far away from the Little Rizi Country, separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, and the sea water is clear and blue.
The water surface is very calm, and the color becomes darker the deeper you go.
The fishing boat was not big. A shark came from nowhere with its pointed fin exposed and circled the boat several times underwater.
The water was rippling and the fishing boat was shaking violently, but no one fell into the water and the shark left in boredom.
The fishermen who make their living from this sea have long developed skills to protect their lives. They tie themselves tightly to the boat and will never fall into the water unless the boat capsizes.
The brown-haired man with a messy beard looked up at the sky with an impatient look on his face.
[It's about to rain. Why is Robert taking so long to come up?! ]
Robert, whom he was talking about, was catching lobsters with his bare hands dozens of meters above the sea.
An abalone as big as the palm of your hand was trembling at the bottom of the reef.
Ha, it’s Wang Defa!
ヾ(?w?`?)
In the 64th life, Wang was reborn as an abalone.
The shell is the size of a palm, and the black flesh is surrounded by a circle of tiny tentacles, which are constantly wriggling and countless.
The hard shell has four breathing holes, and a lot of gray and colorful algae are attached to it. If you don't look closely, it looks like part of the reef, neither red nor black.
If he lives a normal life, Wang can grow into red abalone, a North American specialty that is larger than a football.
The deep water area has turbulent undercurrents and the water temperature is lower than that in the upper layer, about fifteen or sixteen degrees, which is an extremely suitable environment for the survival and reproduction of red abalone.
Robert was like a nimble fish, stirring up the water.
The crustaceans on the seabed reefs are very active, and the lobsters are large. If you can catch three or two, the trip out to sea will be worth it.
The colorful coral reefs danced with the water flow. From time to time, fish and shrimps popped up from under the long "tentacles". When they saw the big human hands reaching out, they quickly retracted into the gaps.
For a moment, Robert did not notice the existence of the red abalone.
Wang Defa squirmed his soft flesh, clinging tightly to the reef, and moved to where the light was darker, trying his best to avoid being illuminated by the light above the man's head.
Well, actually, Mr. Wang thought too much.
There are rules for catching red abalone locally, and they have to be of a certain size before they can be caught.
Once the fishing boat reaches the shore, each fish must be measured with a ruler before it can be sold.
Those who are too young are not acceptable, and those who are pregnant are not acceptable either.
This is also for the sake of sustainable development, and we cannot kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Robert had a long thick rope tied around his waist. Several containers he carried with him were already full, and the lobsters inside were waving their big claws and struggling desperately.
Robert had to adjust the amplitude of his legs to keep his body steady. The poor little creatures lurking in the dark were disturbed and hid deeper.
Robert hesitated for a long time and swam upstream along the rope.
I got carried away for a moment and almost forgot the time.
Not to mention the joy of the two people on the fishing boat returning with a full load.
Wang Defa was depressed.
The deep and silent seabed is so scary.
Small fish eat shrimps, big fish eat small fish, and even larger sharks swarm in and eat all the small fish that rarely come out of the coral reefs to breathe.
Silence, deathly silence.
Especially, the repetition day after day.
As an abalone, Wang Defa had no predecessors to tell him what to eat to grow up. He relied entirely on instinct and ate whatever he could catch.
Some of our predecessors were foolish enough to leave rashly to explore new maps, but ended up being bitten by a passing ugly big fish, which chewed them into pieces, and in the end they even remembered to spit out the shell.
You can't swallow this thing, it will pierce your intestines.
Wang Defa, who witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, waved countless thin and short tentacles wearing black stockings, and hid deeper into the coral, refusing to show up again.
One day, the silence of such ascetic days was broken by a fisherman who suddenly went into the water.
It’s still our old actor Robert, with unshaven beard and greasy face.
This is the spot that the two brothers had chosen, and they planned to visit it when the time came.
When will it be?!
Of course, it’s the days when you’re short of money.
Robert had gained a lot of weight. He was wearing a tight diving suit, and his waist and abdomen were full and bulging, as if he was six or seven months pregnant.
(Robert: I’m not, I don’t. I feed myself with my wife and children’s leftovers. It’s really delicious and blissful!)
The one who stayed on the fishing boat was just the opposite. He was extremely thin, with only a layer of skin left on top of his strong muscles. Under the skin, veins bulged out, and his blue blood vessels were tangled like a swimming dragon.
Well, both brothers are married, Robert has three daughters, and the family on the fishing boat has three sons.
The daughter is caring and the son is noisy.
Robert worked quickly. For some reason, the large clump of coral in his memory had a large bald spot.
Wang Defa was dozing off out of boredom when he suddenly felt dizzy.
Wang Defa: ヽ(°◇° )ノAn earthquake? ! A tsunami? !
No, a nest of stunted red abalones were shoveled down along with a piece of reef and thrown into the net bag with a clang.
Each one is as big as an adult male's fist and meets the harvesting standard.
Robert was overjoyed: I got rich, so many big red abalones!
If he didn't remember that he was at the bottom of the sea, he would have probably danced with joy.
Wang Defa posted with others of the same kind for the first time——
Hiss, it's too soft, slippery and sticky. The other party is so scared that he tries to tear it open but can't. It feels very uncomfortable.
(///w///)
A few innocent small fish were implicated and struggled in the net in panic. They accidentally slipped out of the mesh. Suddenly, they could breathe freely and fled into the darkness without looking back.
Wang Defa expressed his envy.
When will these days of being unable to speak end?
Robert estimated the weight and prepared to go back.
A shark came over.
It was very big, and when it opened its mouth, it could swallow Robert sideways.
God knows why this damn thing suddenly appeared.
We had clearly used sonic waves to survey the area before entering the water, but we didn't find any deadly weapons nearby...
Robert secretly cursed his bad luck. This was a case of too much joy turning into sorrow. If he had known earlier, he should not have been so greedy. The five net bags hanging around his waist were all full and heavy, which seriously affected his speed of escape!!!
This shark is a lone ranger, with no companions following it.
Robert reluctantly let go of his worry, hunched his stomach, followed the shark's movements with his eyes, but did not dare to make any big movements with his body.
The shark had seen and eaten such two-legged beasts in the sea, but it didn't like the dry and chewy texture. It playfully used its head and tail to hit the two-legged beast, which seemed unable to move, and bit off the thick rope that was swaying above the two-legged beast's head. Its teeth were so sharp that Robert's scalp numb.
Seeing that the shark was circling around and refusing to leave, Robert had no choice but to untie the net bag and throw all the nets towards the shark.
If Wang Defa could speak, he would definitely curse on the spot: You bastard, if you have the guts, take me and exchange me for money. Feeding me to sharks is nothing!
The shark had no idea what that huge mass was and instinctively opened its mouth.
When Wang Defa saw Senhan's sharp teeth, he tried his best to shrink back, but unfortunately he was hindered by the one who was sticking to him.

The shark was stunned: Hmm, this snack is okay, crunchy.
Robert took the opportunity to rush upwards, as if he had an electric propeller under his feet.
Well, it looks like those fish that escaped the net and are escaping.
Fresh and tender red abalone, done!
