175. The three greatest blessings in the world: a false alarm, a loss and recovery, and a reunion after a long absence.
[The author said that there is a video link where you can watch cat's eye snails and flower crabs]
Li Xiao took a long clip and a bucket and rushed towards the center, but he did not miss the rocky beaches along the way.
After walking a few steps, he stopped because he discovered his luck again today, and it seemed to be really good.
Seven or eight white shells are very big. If they were still children, Li Xiao would be willing to let them go. However, the smallest of these white shells is as big as two bottle caps, and he can't find any reason to let them go.
Throwing the white shells that were still hanging their tongues into the bucket, he continued to set off.
Before taking two steps, a hole the size of a thumb appeared in the shadow of two rocks.
Li Xiao stopped again. After all, the hole in front of him was so big. It was obvious that the weight of the thing below was not small.
He looked carefully and saw that there were no small sandbags around the hole. There was a similar hole not far from the hole, but that hole was much smaller.
He immediately had an idea in his mind and roughly estimated what the things below were. After all, each type of seafood has different ways of hiding itself.
Li Xiao quickly set the handicap in the background. This time he did not use a shovel.
Because he knew very well how deep this damn thing could grow, and it would probably take more than half an hour to dig with a shovel.
Of course, he also clearly understood that if he dared to dig for more than half an hour, the audience in the live broadcast room would definitely say that he was stupid.
After waiting for the market to close, Li Xiao took out his unused secret weapon, table salt and an empty mineral water bottle.
The mineral water bottle can be started by filling it with sea water. The mineral water bottle containing salt also has a small opening on it. Just press the bottle gently and the salt inside will spray out.
Aim the small opening on the mineral water bottle at the hole in the sand and pinch it gently. The salt inside will spurt out immediately, but the amount of salt sprayed out is very small because the opening on the mineral water bottle is not big.
After spraying the salt, Li Xiao did not stop what he was doing, but picked up the mineral water bottle filled with sea water and lightly sprayed a little into the hole.
At this time, Li Xiao spoke to the live broadcast room and said,
"If I guessed correctly, what is hidden in this hole should be a razor clam."
"If this hole belongs to him, the person hiding inside can probably be called the razor clam king."
As he spoke, Li Xiao sprayed salt and seawater at the hole again. When everyone was wondering what Li Xiao was doing, the sand around the hole shook slightly.
"Razor clam? Why does the anchor speak with pinyin?"
"I've eaten razor clams before. What is the razor clam king?"
"The King of Razor Clams, as the name suggests, is not the king of razor clams."
"Here, have you seen the sand move?"
"I didn't see it! You must have been dazzled. The young man listened to my advice and the oars were turned into ashes."
"It's not the sand that's moving, nor the wind that's moving, it's your own hearts that are moving."
"Oh, it's really moving. Are you blind?"
"I guess the anchor sprayed water and caused the hole to collapse, so you thought it was moved."
....
Seeing the sand around the hole expanding outward, a smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.
Although I haven’t been here to catch the sea for a long time, the change in the sand outside the hole is still very clear.
Just now he only had about 80% confidence, but now he has a full 100% confidence. Except for things like razor clams, there will be no other things.
After sprinkling salt powder twice and water twice more, the razor clam finally poked its head out from deep under the sand, but only its two small tentacles popped out.
Li Xiao did not grab it directly. In this case, the razor clam is very sensitive. If he grabs it with his hands or tools, even if the salinity in the hole exceeds his acceptable range, he will still retreat directly into the cave.
Li Xiao continued to sprinkle salt powder around the hole and poured water into the hole.
Finally, after a few more seconds, the razor clam couldn't bear the environment in the cave, and its entire body popped out of the hole.
The moment its body rushed out, Li Xiao quickly grabbed the razor clam's body.
The razor clam was frightened and water spurted out from both ends.
Seeing the gains in Li Xiao's hands, the live broadcast room exploded with excitement.
"I'll go, it's so long and big."
"A razor clam that big?"
"I didn't know what a razor clam king was before, but now I finally understand."
"Isn't this razor clam several times bigger than an ordinary razor clam?"
"This seems like fun?"
"I have never seen a razor clam as big as three fingers!!!"
........
To be honest, not only the audience was surprised, but Li Xiao was also very surprised. It was also the first time for him to see such a big razor clam king.
He placed the razor clam on the palm of his hand. The razor clam was longer than his hand and thicker than his own two fingers.
He wiped the saliva that almost flowed out of the corner of his mouth and said to the audience in the live broadcast room.
"The bigger the razor clam, the more delicious it is. That's why it's called the king of razor clams. The one I have on hand can be called the king of kings. If you grill it, it will be very delicious."
.”
Throwing the razor clam king into the bucket, Li Xiao continued his treasure hunt.
I rummaged through several rocks in succession. Although there were harvests under most of the rocks, they were all small fish and shrimps that had not yet matured.
The largest among them is a flower crab that is only as big as a thumb.
This finger-sized flower crab is placed in your hand, but it is timid by nature and does not dare to move at all.
If they were in the sand, they might hide in the sand, but when they suddenly appeared in a strange place, they didn't dare to move at all.
"Flower crabs are usually not very large, mainly because their aggressiveness is too low, and their main diet is small fish, shrimp and seaweed."
"So, the growth cycle is very long, and because they are timid by nature and have poor escape ability, they are easily eaten by large predators."
"I remember the largest flower crab I have ever seen, it was only half the size of my hand."
"However, this kind of crab tastes very fresh and sweet. It has very little meat but a lot of yellow color, which is great for making porridge."
"If there are three or four flower crabs that are half the size of a hand, it will be enough to make a package of golden crab porridge."
"If it's a little baby like this, we can just put it back where it belongs."
As he spoke, Li Xiao put the flower crab with very beautiful patterns on his hand back on the sand. The moment he touched the sand, his eight claws immediately started running like electric motors, and within a few seconds it was completely submerged.
Under the sand.
Not long after he put the flower crab back into the sand, a thick black shadow rushed past in front of his eyes. Li Xiao was stunned and thought he was dazzled, but there was a quarrel in the live broadcast room.
"What? Was that a snake just now?"
"I feel like a snake, with its long white belly, and it rushes over with just a swipe."
"So long, so thick, so white and smooth."
"Anchor, please be careful. There is no one around. Be careful of being bitten by a snake."
"I've heard that sea snakes are highly venomous. I wonder if it's too late to call an ambulance for the host?"
"I have carefully studied Jin Yong's novels. The one I just saw should be the legendary 7-step sea snake. Don't be nervous if you are bitten by this kind of snake. You cannot run around or exercise to heal your injuries. The correct way is to find a ventilated place.
, lie down quietly, and the body will dry naturally in two days."
"It must be poisonous. The anchor is not dead, but you want to laugh me to death. You are also a seven-step sea snake. What the hell."
"It's probably not a sea snake. Most sea snakes live in the deep sea."
"Don't be careless, what if you are washed up by the waves?"
"Yes, yes, host, let's stop here today. Leave quickly and don't take risks."
...
Li Xiao was paying attention to the nest sand of the flower crab just now, but he really didn't notice what the black shadow was that flew past.
However, the shape does not look like a sea snake, but more like a moray eel.
And according to the feedback from the audience, it is not comparable to the sea snake.
Because the skin patterns of most sea snakes are colorful and very mixed, they will not appear white, and the bodies of most sea snakes are very slender.
Because they rely on the venom in their teeth to attack prey, rather than relying on the strength of their bodies, after a long period of evolution, most sea snakes are very slender in size, so they will not be described as rough by the audience.
However, he did not completely relax. You should know that you are not afraid of anything but ten thousand.
What if this mysterious sea really evolved a super fat, white sea snake, which is also highly venomous. If I were bitten, I would be dead. I don't have any anti-venom skills.
Li Xiao tightened the long clip on his hand and slowed down his movements.
He did not continue walking in the shallow water, but jumped onto the rocky beach.
Although the body strength of sea snakes is enough to allow them to bounce out of the water, according to the habits of creatures, they rarely engage in such hunting behavior.
Because after leaving the sea water, as marine creatures, their abilities will be greatly reduced.
Such cunning predators are not so unwise, and humans are not on the sea snake's diet.
Unless humans accidentally attack or anger sea snakes, sea snakes will not attack humans.
Li Xiao moved slowly above the rocks, his eyes constantly wandering through the gaps in the rocks.
Trying to find the terrifying predator hiding in the shadow of the rock, he would glance at the live broadcast room from time to time. After all, there were tens of thousands of eyes in the live broadcast room.
His overall observation ability was definitely stronger than his own, but the tense atmosphere did not last long.
Because Li Xiao finally discovered the white "sea snake" in the audience's mouth.
Seeing the little tail of this 'sea snake', he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What kind of sea snake? I almost scared myself to death if it wasn't a sea snake. This was clearly the most common moray eel.
He rolled his eyes angrily and said to the live broadcast room.
"Okay, everyone doesn't need to be so worried. What flew past just now was not a sea snake, but a sea eel."
As he spoke, he pointed the camera at the moray eel's tail. Under the high-definition camera, a slowly swinging silver-gray tail was stirring the sand in the beach.
Although many people immediately recognized the appearance of the moray eel, many people in the live broadcast room still raised doubts.
"Wait a minute, what if the sea snake cheated on her and mated with an eel, giving birth to a monster with the body of a sea snake and the tail of an eel?"
"Yes, isn't it normal for a hybrid creature to acquire both paternal and maternal genes?"
"Don't be careless. Perhaps after the combination, the sea snake's genes in its body may mutate, making it much more toxic."
.....
Seeing a group of happy water friends making unreliable remarks in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
He said angrily,
"Okay, okay, I'm going to go down now and capture this mutated 'super sea snake' for you."
With that said, he jumped off the rock on which he was standing.
The fluctuation of the water flow did not scare away the silver-gray eel hiding in the rock crevice. After all, the size of the pool was too small.
Even if you try to escape, at most you can only bury most of your body in the gap. It may be that your body is too thick and too long, or the gap in the rock is too narrow or too thin.
No matter how the eel twists its body, no matter how much it hides, it feels like it's useless. As for swimming back to the sea, it's even more unthinkable.
Li Xiao did not take action directly, but circled around the rock as high as his waist.
Finally, I found the eel's head on a rocky protrusion.
Then he took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva.
This is delicious, but it's too long. No wonder even when I lowered my head just now, I could still see a black shadow passing through my sight in my peripheral vision.
It wouldn't work if I didn't find it. I walked around half a circle before I found his head, which must be at least six or seventy centimeters.
You need to aim the camera on your hand, half of the eel's head is exposed on the outer wall of the rock.
He said with a chuckle.
"See, I didn't lie to you. I told you this is a moray eel, not a sea snake."
A naive eel head appeared in the live broadcast. The eel's two round eyes made his cuteness rise to a new level.
After determining the position of its head, Li Xiao slowly stretched out the long clip, targeting the eel's neck.
Eels move very slowly in shallow water, so Li Xiao even had time to teach viewers in the live broadcast room how to catch eels.
"When we catch an eel, the position selected by the clip should be one or two centimeters behind its gills. That position is behind the eel's eyes and belongs to her blind spot."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiao's clamp suddenly struck out, heading towards the place he described.
The next second, water splashed in the small pool, which was the water splashed by the struggling eels.
He felt the force of the shock coming from the clamp, and quickly stabilized the clamp with his other hand, fearing that the eel would break free.
Catching eels and fishing both have something in common, which is the need for a power game with the prey.
Li Xiao firmly controlled the clamp with both hands and allowed the eel to struggle within a certain range. After about a minute, the struggle began and slowly slowed down.
Obviously an eel stranded in shallow water cannot be as strong as an adult male.
Feeling that the force of the counter-shock in his hand was getting weaker and weaker, he showed a faint smile, and a silver-gray eel that was three fingers wide and as long as his arm was easily caught in the air.
Because all its strength was consumed, the eel was like a creature that had entered a certain state and was being manipulated at will. Even if it was lifted high and displayed in front of everyone, it had no power to resist.
Looking at the silver-gray eels appearing in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao seemed to vaguely hear the sound of the audience swallowing. No, he quickly realized that it was not the sound of the audience swallowing, but the sound of himself swallowing.
.
You must know that eel is a very delicious fish. There are many ways to cook it, and most of them are quite delicious.
While wiping his saliva, he threw the oversized eel into the bucket. The weight of the bucket immediately increased a lot.
I wiped my hands and took a look at the live broadcast room.
"Anchor, I want this eel. Please give me a price. I'm in the city next door. I want to eat it tonight. Send it to me quickly."
"Such a big eel is rare, even if it is farmed. It must be delicious."
"Does eels look like this?"
"The moray eels I have seen in the aquarium before are different from this one."
"The one mentioned above may be a deep-sea eel. It's yellow and has spots."
"Oh, yes, yes, that's what I said."
"That kind rarely appears in offshore waters. Most of them are caught from distant seas. Even if there are waves, they cannot be washed so far."
.........
When Li Xiao saw someone wanting to buy this large eel online, he hesitated but refused.
After all, the ID looks very strange, and he is not a distinguished user with a red name.
Of course, it is not discriminating against ordinary users. The most important thing is that he has no intention of selling this eel.
He himself also likes to eat eels, but it is difficult to catch such a big eel in normal fishing.
As we all know, eels need to eat large ones.
Because the large eel itself is very rich in oil, no additional oil is needed to grill it beautifully.
"Sorry, sorry, I plan to use this eel for myself. I will grill it for everyone to see later. The grilled eel is super delicious. I just happened to bring soy sauce. I will make kabayaki eel for everyone to see later."
Li Xiao glanced at the barrage and found that the person who wanted to buy eels immediately cursed when he heard that he refused to deliver the eels.
Moreover, the words were quite unpleasant. Li Xiao frowned and did not directly scold him. Instead, he directly chose to ban the comment, block the package, and directly kicked the cursed guy out of the live broadcast room.
He explained to the live broadcast room.
"I'm really sorry, I really can't send this out, but if you really want to eat it, you can come directly to my second uncle's place for a trip. Then you can experience fishing in the sea, and you can easily catch eels."
