Lu Ao and the others brought up the photos of the sunken ship, and everyone was very excited.
The professor leading the archaeological team wiped his eyes with excitement after seeing the relevant photos, "This is the ship, the ship we are looking for must be underneath, look at the arc, then look at the wood grain, It must be a ship."
His team members came over to identify it carefully, and after a while they felt that the sunken ship was underneath.
The professor babbled a few words, then turned to Lu Ao: "Xiao Lu, you have made a great contribution! We will build a museum in the future, and your name will be included in the annals of history!"
Lu Ao waved his hand wearily, "It's nothing."
"Hahaha, don't be humble. Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers. You can lead everyone to find the sunken ship. It's a good job!"
The old professor was full of spirits, and asked the little soldier next to him, "Is the submersible adjusted? I'll go down and see what's going on with this boat myself."
The little soldier hurriedly said: "You are getting old, let us go."
"I've been walking in the fields all year round, and I'm in better health than you, so it doesn't matter."
Head Gu walked over quickly, and said beside him: "It's okay if you don't get in the way, let the young people go down first to have a look."
The professor said: "How ridiculous is this? Since I came to investigate, I must lead the team down to see it myself. Otherwise, I don't know anything just by looking at the photos. How can I have the face to say that I presided over this work?"
Lu Ao heard them coming and going, and said beside him: "I'll go in for dinner first."
Head Gu patted his thigh, "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot that you haven't had lunch yet. Come, come, the celebration banquet is ready for you."
Not only Lu Ao, Xiang Xingchang and the others didn't eat, and they were all so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.
Head Gu had to preside over the work, so he couldn't accompany them to eat, so he had to ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for them.
When the food came, they were all solid and hard dishes, and the few people didn't say anything. They ate until they were [-]% full before they could talk.
Xiang Xingchang poured wine to drink.
Lu Ao waved his hand and refused, "I'm going to sail back later, and I won't drink."
Old Wen was surprised, "Hey, you will go back later? There is still a lot of follow-up salvage work."
Lu Ao shook his head, "The boats have been found, so I don't need me later, you stay here to salvage, I'll go back first."
"Don't!" Old Wen said, "Your diving skills are really good, and we have seen a lot of people. I dare say that in the whole of China, there are not many people who dare to recognize you as the second. You have to stay. , it will definitely be of great help, and besides, there will be commendation work in the follow-up, so it is not a bad thing to leave a good impression on the higher-ups."
Lao Wen only thought that he was young and energetic and didn't want to deal with government departments.
But Lu Ao made up his mind and didn't want to affect humans too much.
Xiang Xingchang understood him a bit from the side, "That's right, a person with your ability can speak with his ability wherever he goes. No matter what project he adds at any time, he must be very popular. Whether the relationship between people is good or not, for you guys For a genius like this, it doesn’t matter.”
Lu Ao shook his head, "It's nothing like that. I'm not a genius either. I'm just a little homesick. I didn't report to my family when I stayed here yesterday. If I stay here again, he will be worried."
"Speaking of this matter, we said it earlier, you have a very strict tongue, and you didn't tell us when you got married. Why? Are you afraid we won't give gift money?"
Although Xiang Xingchang said this with a joking element, he was also somewhat serious. He really regarded Lu Ao as a friend, and he felt a little uncomfortable knowing that he didn't invite him after he got married.
Lu Ao shook his head and didn't avoid them, "I didn't get a certificate and didn't serve wine, my wife is a man."
Several people here were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then looked up at Lu Ao.
Lu Ao acted as if he didn't notice anything, so he lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
After a while, Xiang Xingchang took the lead and said: "I wish you guys the best of luck to those who like men! I haven't seen many same-sex couples who can get together. You are more difficult than ordinary people. Come, I will toast you with tea instead of wine." .”
Lu Ao: "Thank you."
He drank the cup of tea happily.
Lao Wen was a little annoyed, "So you really like men. When we were diving together, someone in the team said he liked you. At that time, he wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that he would be beaten."
Lu Ao: "I have known my lover for a long time, and I met before I went on a mission with you."
"So it doesn't matter if the kid confesses his love or not?"
"No play."
"Hahaha, when I have a chance to drink with him in the future, I will tell him."
It's not a big deal that Lu Ao likes men, everyone just made fun of them in good faith, and then changed the topic.
There are also many interesting things in the diving circle. Sometimes everyone will meet to go diving in some sea area, and they will also talk about topics such as marine protection.
Lu Ao eats a lot more than the average person. While he was still eating, everyone else at the table had finished eating and sat there chatting.
He listened to the side, but heard a lot of interesting news.
After eating, Xiang Xingchang and the others were very tired and wanted to go back to the cabin to rest.
Lu Ao will sail back to the town.
He went out and talked to a head of the regiment. Head Gu felt very sorry and kept him several times. Seeing that he had decided to go, he had no choice but to agree, "Then you go back first. If we encounter any difficulties here, we still have to leave." Please come and help me."
"I will help everything I can, but I guess there should be no problem here."
"It's not certain, it's safer if you are willing to help." Captain Gu said, "You sail back by yourself, or I can find someone to take you back?"
"No, I'm familiar with the boat, it's very troublesome to send it back and forth, so that's it."
Lu Ao went to talk to Xiao Du again.
Xiao Du was also very reluctant to part with him, but Xiao Du was a small police officer and had nothing to say on the boat, so he could only reluctantly make an appointment with Lu Ao to drink together next time.
Lu Ao agreed.
He returned to his own boat in a small boat, and set off directly for their Shuiyuan Town without taking a nap.
The big boat was still faster than the small boat. It only took him more than two hours to sail from Jasmine Island to Shuiyuan Town, and it was only after five o'clock when he returned to the town, and it was still dark.
Lu Ao drove the boat to the pier in the town.
Seeing him coming back in a big boat, a manager nearby came over and asked the boat from a distance, "How long will your boat stay here?"
Lu Ao stood on the deck and replied: "It may be a long-term berthing, how about the management fee here?"
"Are you a medium-sized fishing boat? What's the length, width, and power? What about your certificate of competency? You need to complete the information, and let's see how to calculate the berthing management fee for this boat."
When Lu Ao heard the words, he didn't say much. He anchored the boat and went to the back of the boat to untie the boat, and rowed the boat back to the shore.
His boat was a medium-sized fishing boat with a relatively deep draft, so it was parked some distance away from the shore, otherwise it would run aground when the tide ebbed.
Back on shore, he fastened the skiff.
The uncle of the administrator was waiting for him, and asked, "Young student, are you from Chongxin Village?"
"how do you know?"
"Hey, let me just say, it must be you! It's spread all over the town, you bought a big boat and came back." The uncle handed him cigarettes and asked with a smile: "From now on, this boat will be here for a long time?"
"It still depends on whether it fits or not. If it fits, it's fine."
The implication is that if it is convenient, it will definitely stop here, if it is not convenient, you will have to find another place.
After hearing this, the uncle led him forward, leading the way with his hands behind his back, "Come, come, let's talk in the house first."
Lu Ao was not polite either.
The uncle squinted his eyes to read his certificate of competency first, and then read the information of his ship. After confirming that his ship was okay, he became more enthusiastic.
"You can just park your boat here. Our port is in good condition. It is famous in several nearby towns. You should register first."
"How about the management fee?"
"Those small fishing boats are parked here, two hundred a month. Your boat is too big, and it is difficult to manage it here. According to our regulations, it is about one thousand a month."
"One thousand is too expensive, eight hundred."
"It's not too expensive. If you have such a big ship, if it is parked elsewhere, if a few thieves come to sneak onto your ship, steal things or destroy it, it will be difficult. .You stop here, in addition to the good conditions of the port, which is convenient for driving out and in, we will also help take care of it."
"That's too expensive." Lu Ao: "If it costs a thousand a month, I might as well stop and go back to the village."
"Your village doesn't even have a port. Once it runs aground, how much damage will it do to the ship? You have bought tens of millions of ships, and you are afraid of paying the thousand and eight hundred berthing management fees? We are still open 24 hours a day. It’s monitoring, including security.”
"1 a month, [-] a year, nearly [-] yuan, not a lot."
Lu Ao insisted that he would not let go of [-] yuan for a month, no matter how hard the administrator tried, he did not agree.
In the end, the uncle had no choice but to sigh and said, "Okay, eight hundred a month is eight hundred, you really know how to do business in this younger generation."
Lu Ao said: "It's easy to buy a boat, but it's difficult to maintain a boat. After spending so much money to go out, I have to live frugally and tighten my belt. Of course, I can't spend more."
The uncle chuckled, "Hey, I believe what other people say, but I don't quite believe what you say. How much money can you make fishing a day?"
Lu Ao shook his head and did not answer.
He signed the relevant contract with the administrator, paid half a year's fee in one breath, and then left.
He has to go to the vegetable market first. After two days out, there should be no food at home.
But it was already late, and I went to the vegetable market at this time, and I didn't know if there were any good vegetables for sale.
Lu Ao went shopping and bought two chickens, two ducks and five catties of meat.
There is no need to buy vegetables, he grows them in the field, just pick a winter melon and pumpkins and deal with them.
After shopping for groceries, when he passed by Lin Dawu's shop, Gui Yandan was looking at the store, and when he saw him, he hurriedly chased him out and shouted: "Lu Ao!"
"Sister-in-law?" Lu Ao stopped in his tracks, "What's wrong?"
"You just came back from outside, how do you go back to the village? Come in for a cup of tea first, and let Dawu take you back later?"
"No, I'll go to the street and take a tricycle."
"The tricycles at the street corner are about to be taken back." Gui Yandan insisted, "You come in first to have a cup of tea. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Some time ago, Chenchen wanted to go to you to thank you personally. You I went to sea again, his school is about to start, so I can only go back to school if I can't wait."
After Lin Guanchen and his little girlfriend were rescued, they stayed in the hospital for a long time before being discharged, and went home to recuperate for a while.
Lin Dawu came to Lu Ao's house with tea and fruit to say thank you for saving Lu Ao's life.
Lu Ao felt that it was over, so he never took it to heart.
Lu Ao said: "Study is the most important thing, I have received your wish."
"If you receive it, let him go over and apologize to you in person." Gui Yandan smiled, "You can't repay a life-saving grace. You can't even say thank you, and you can't let him become such a heartless person. Xiao Lu, you Sit down first, if you are hungry, I will steam a steamed bun for you."
"I'm not hungry, don't bother, I have to go home, my family is waiting for me."
"Is it Song Zhou?"
The news of Lu Ao's liking for men spread quickly, and everyone had already heard the news in private without saying anything.
When Gui Yandan opened the shop, he was the most well-informed, and he knew that he had a boyfriend, and they lived together.
This is Lu Ao's private matter, even if he likes men, it will not hinder the relationship between the two families.
Gui Yandan usually protects Lu Ao outside, but now he is naturally enthusiastic as usual.
Lu Ao refused, but failed to refuse. Finally, Gui Yandan steamed the buns and gave them to him.
Gui Yandan originally regarded Lu Ao as his younger brother, but now that the two families are getting closer, Gui Yandan also intends to take care of him.
After a while, Lin Dawu came back. When he saw Lu Ao, he said happily: "Lu Ao is here? Let's eat at home. I caught a lot of fish today, and there are crocodiles. Eat something good tonight, my brother It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, we'll have a few drinks together later."
"Sister-in-law said the same thing, Song Zhou is still waiting for me at home, next time."
"Yes, men with families are really different, and they have to take responsibility."
Lin Dawu said and hurriedly moved the water tank out of the car. Lu Ao saw that he was struggling to move, so he hurried over to help him move it.
Unexpectedly, when he looked down, there was a big crocodile with its mouth tightly tied up with tape in the water tank.
This crocodile weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms, and it looks very strong in the water tank.
Lin Dawu lowered his head and saw the crocodile, said: "This is a farmed crocodile, you can eat it. Wait a moment, I'll take it to the kitchen and kill half of the meat for you to take back."
"Need not."
"Hey, you're welcome. I brought it back and gave it to relatives and friends. Look at this big crocodile. Chenchen went to school again. Your sister-in-law and I couldn't finish it. Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it. It's not fresh anymore."
"Is this crocodile meat very expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it's usually five or sixty yuan a catty. I didn't spend any money on this one, it was a gift from a friend."
Lu Ao had never eaten crocodile meat, so he was a little interested in this meat.
Panting, Lin Dawu carried the crocodile with him to the kitchen. After putting down the water tank in his hand, he gasped and said, "My brother is also a sinner. He made a big pond to raise crocodiles. Who knows that it has been raining a lot lately?" , He was careless and didn’t check the fence properly, the rain washed away the fence the night before, and dozens of crocodiles he raised ran out.”
"This is the crocodile that ran out. We surrounded it for a whole day and finally caught it. We even injured it. If it wasn't for the injury, we wouldn't be willing to eat it."
Lu Ao felt strange, "Keeping crocodiles is more than just a fence?"
"That is to say, he did have more than one fence, but his outer fence already had holes, and he usually did things carelessly, so he didn't check it out. No, the water broke down the inner fence last night, and the crocodile ran away. Get out, and slip through the outside fence again."
"It's so serious, we don't have crocodiles here, right?"
"No, even if there were, they would have been extinct long ago." Lin Dawu straightened up and thumped his lower back, "It's because we don't have crocodiles here, it's troublesome if he ran out of crocodiles, and we only found them after searching all day today There are more than 20, and there are more than ten outside."
Lu Ao: "Won't that cause biological invasion?"
"I don't know. I have called the police just now, and I don't know if the police can do anything about it. It's okay to say that crocodiles are not a species with strong reproductive ability. I am afraid that the little crocodiles that escaped will grow up and become adults." Alligators will attack people and other animals."
These crocodiles are all raised by humans. If these crocodiles attack people in the future, the victim will have nothing to do with the crocodiles, and the owner must seek compensation for compensation.
The crocodile owner is very worried at home now.
It's okay to bite someone, but if he kills someone, he will be sentenced.
After Lin Dawu finished speaking, he remembered, "Speaking of looking for crocodiles, I must be looking for you young lads. Are you free these two days? Why don't we help you find them? His crocodiles are all farmed crocodiles It’s not too fierce, when the time comes, you will go look for it with a spear gun, just kill it, and I will let him count your wages.”
"Can it still be like this?"
"Why not, let's see if you have time to help." Lin Dawu sighed, "There are no young fishermen who are better than you in the nearby ten miles and eight towns."
Lu Ao really didn't expect to come in for a cup of tea and still find work.
He thought for a while and said: "I'll think about it for a night, go back and ask my family's opinion, and then ask the Lingong merchants if they are willing to do it."
"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask Manzhang to tell you. This time, the crocodile owner really can't ask me, so I have to be cheeky to beg you."
"I'll ask first."
"Hey, just ask." Lin Dawu replied, and said again, "Go out and sit outside for a while, have a cup of tea, and I'll come out after I've dealt with the crocodile, and I'll take you home later."
"What to do with this crocodile?"
"Just kill it, remove the internal organs and skin it." Lin Dawu smiled, "Don't think I'm not as good as you in fishing, but you may not be as good as me in doing these chores. Go sit outside for a while, and I'll get it done soon. "
Lu Ao said: "Let me help you here, and learn how to deal with crocodiles by the way."
"If you don't dislike it, you can stay here, but it's a bit bloody."
"fine."
Lin Dawu's hands are fast.
This crocodile is also relatively small, so it is not difficult to handle.
After more than half an hour, he had already removed the crocodile meat.
He raised his hand and gave Lu Ao half of it, "The crocodile meat tastes good, and it's easy to cook. You can take it home and stir-fry it, or stew it for a while. It tastes good."
"Okay, I'll go back and try later."
"It's the freshest to eat today, and it's best to pair it with some wine. This stuff is very filling."
Lu Ao agreed.
Soon, Lin Dawu took care of the crocodile and drove Lu Ao back.
In addition to the crocodile meat and the meat and vegetables bought by Lu Ao, there were also several large cabbages from Guiyan Dansai in the car.
It's all pre-cooked food.
Before getting off the car, Lu Ao said: "You are too polite."
"It's okay, there are so many vegetables in the house, and the two of us alone can't eat much at home. It's good for you to help consume some, so as to save us from eating leftovers at home every day." Lin Dawu helped carry the vegetables down together, and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you want to catch crocodiles together, tell me on WeChat later."
"Okay, walk slowly."
It was getting late, and Lin Dawu didn't stay for long. After sending him home, he drove back in his own car.
Before Lu Ao opened the door, the door of his house creaked and opened from the inside to the outside. Inside was Song Zhou's face, "You're back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Song Zhou rolled his eyes, "I thought you wouldn't come back today."
Lu Ao was serious, "That's not true, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Song Zhou came out to help carry the food in together: "Are you hungry? I brought food back from the institution."
"It's okay. I just ate buns at Brother Dawu's house. By the way, I brought back crocodile meat. I'll cook another crocodile meat later."
Song Zhou was very interested, "Where did you get the crocodile meat?"
"It was also given by Brother Dawu. He has a friend who raises crocodiles. When it rained last night, he didn't take good care of the crocodiles and let the crocodiles escape. He simply caught the escaped crocodiles and sold them."
"I just said why there are crocodiles here."
"again?"
"Thousands of years ago, when it was warm here, there were crocodiles, but now they are gone."
"I've never heard of it, and it's not recorded in the county annals."
"Thousands of years ago, there was no human habitation here at that time, and it was all a wilderness." Song Zhou laughed. "Later, someone saw a crocodile here, and suspected that the crocodile was a dragon."
Lu Ao looked at the crocodile meat in the bag, and then imagined the scene of recognizing the crocodile as a dragon. He felt a little unbelievable, "The crocodile is so different from the dragon, how can it be recognized as the same thing?"
Song Zhou said: "What's so strange about this, you didn't think you were a lizard before?"
When Lu Ao heard about his black history, his ears turned red, and he coughed lightly to change the subject, "When is it going to happen, come and help me, I'm going to fry the crocodile."
Song Zhou didn't expose him either, "Well, make it a stir-fry?"
"Well, Brother Dawu said it's the same as cooking other meat."
It was Lu Ao's first time eating crocodile meat, and he was not very familiar with it.
Unexpectedly, when the meat is cooked, the taste is surprisingly good.
Stir-frying this kind of meat is very fast, just put it in the pan and stir-fry until it changes color. It doesn’t need to be fried for too long, so as not to fry the meat too old.
More than ten minutes later, Lu Ao went outside with a large plate of freshly cooked crocodile meat.
Song Zhou set out the meals he brought back one by one.
They now like to eat in the yard, or under the eaves if it rains.
At this time, the sunset glow has come up, the evening breeze is blowing, and the yard is cool. Sitting next to the grape trellis for dinner is still very comfortable.
When Lu Ao came to the table, he couldn't wait to taste the crocodile meat.
The taste of crocodile meat is very good. It is indeed a bit like beef, but it is a little thicker than beef. It tastes very chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Lu Ao picked up a chopstick for Songzhou, "Try this, I think it's quite delicious."
"I'll try it." Song Zhou put a mouthful into his mouth and said for a while, "It's really delicious."
"Then you eat more, brother Da Wu gave too much crocodile meat, we will try to finish it today, and make the other half tomorrow morning."
After Lu Ao finished picking up the dishes for Songzhou, he honestly confessed: "We have found the sunken ship today."
"are you sure?"
"It's confirmed, I took people down to find it." Lu Ao said, "Actually, I basically had a feeling yesterday afternoon, and I confirmed it again today. But even without me, they can quickly find the corresponding location .”
Lu Ao was afraid that Song Zhou would say something about him, so he hurriedly added: "I just want to help you one last time. I will definitely not take the initiative to do this thing next time. Does it matter?"
Song Zhou said: "It doesn't matter much. But you have done everything, it's too late to say anything."
"Yeah." Lu Ao was a little nervous, "I won't do it next time."
"Don't worry too much. These are small things in the end. As long as you don't continue, you should be fine."
Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Zhou Shen Sheng: "The way of heaven is not so strict. It's just that as a non-human being, it has too much influence on a country. If you use this ability to help a country, it will soon cause an imbalance. This is not good for the country or you. Not a good thing."
"It's not that you can't help at all, it's just that you can't help if you can. Good steel should be used wisely."
Lu Ao said solemnly, "I understand."
After finishing speaking, Lu Ao whispered, "You are so serious today."
"Are you not listening if you are not serious?"
Lu Ao said, "Listen."
"I'll listen to everything you say."
Song Zhou paused for a while, and said, "Eat quickly."
After eating, the two went to wash the dishes together, and then returned to the living room to play games.
Lu Ao just bought a game console recently, and the time to play games after dinner is the most intimate time for the two of them.
He failed to play this game on the boat yesterday, and Lu Ao has already fallen behind by several levels. Playing the game again today, his fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high.
Who knew that when the game was just hitting the highlight, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Qiyan's clear voice came, "Lu Ao, are you home? I seem to see you coming back this afternoon."
Lu Ao lightly touched Song Zhou's knee with his knee, "Go and open the door."
"Can you do it alone?"
"Okay, no problem. If you don't open the door, he will keep knocking on the door, which will make it easier to get distracted." Lu Ao kept staring at the screen with a bit of annoyed expression.
Lin Qiyan's arrival was too unfortunate. Even if he was a little earlier or a little later, he didn't reach the key point in this game. Now that Songzhou went to open the door, the pressure was suddenly transferred to him. Even if his hand speed is very good, he still feels the pressure now.
Especially the system matched them with good opponents according to their level.
Lin Qiyan didn't know that they were playing games. After entering, he greeted Song Zhou and hurried in, "Lu Ao, what are you doing? I need your help."
"I'm playing a game, I'm at a critical point, don't make a sound."
"Oh, then I'll talk after you finish the fight."
Lu Ao's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he greeted Song Zhou, "Quick, come help, I'm going to die."
Song Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If this one dies, wouldn't it be enough to revive it?"
"No, no, it will drop stars, come here quickly."
The Lu Ao who played the game was completely different from the Lu Ao Lin Qiyan usually saw.
Lin Qiyan watched from the side, a little curious and a little envious.
The mental states of people who are in a relationship are very different from those who are not. Seeing the young man in front of him, it is hard for him to imagine that this person was the taciturn and cold type when he first returned to the village.
After playing the game, Lu Ao let out a long sigh of relief after making sure that he didn't lose. He put down the game controller, shook his hands, and turned to Lin Qiyan, "What's going on, what can I do for you?"
Lin Qiyan said: "Isn't it because you raise geese? The last time I went to shoot a video of geese with you, some fans saw it and said they wanted to buy your goose eggs. Let me ask if you sell them."
"Not for sale." Lu Ao rebuffed straight away, "I don't produce much here. If your fans want to eat goose eggs, just let them go to the vegetable market to buy them."
"I also told her so euphemistically, but firstly, she is my die-hard fan, so I don't want to hit her too hard, secondly, she is pregnant now, and said that she wants to eat goose eggs to nourish her body, so that she can give birth to a white and tender baby. Little baby, I can't refuse when I hear this."
"What does being pregnant have to do with eating goose eggs?"
"It's just a custom. I don't know where there is a custom that says that children born after eating goose eggs will be white and tender, and will not suffer from eczema, jaundice, etc. I don't know if it is true or not, just listen to it."
Lin Qiyan said honestly, "Since the fans have that kind of heart, I'll come over and ask for help. You can sell it more expensive, and I'll send it out for you when the time comes. It doesn't need to be too much, just a few thoughts will do."
Lu Ao couldn't refuse when he heard this.
He thought for a while and said, "How about this, you will feed the geese with me tomorrow, and let's see how many unfertilized goose eggs there are? Sell her as many as you can."
"Okay, no problem. If it really doesn't work, one or two will do. Let her have a good time. By the way, Brother Dawu wants us to fight crocodiles tomorrow? Don't you want to go?"
"Not yet, do you want to go?"
"I want to go." Lin Qiyan admitted honestly, "Catching crocodiles is a very good material. I haven't seen anyone on the website who has made this type of film. If I can make a good one, the number of hits should be good. .”
Lu Ao nodded.
He really didn't make up his mind, he had to stay at home for two days no matter how hard he came back, if he went to catch crocodiles in other places, he would come back very late again accidentally.
Song Zhou was so busy every day, originally the two of them only spent time together in the morning and evening, and they seldom had lunch together, if he came back late, the two of them would spend less time together.
Lu Ao felt a little reluctant.
Lin Qiyan didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "And I think it's very meaningful to catch crocodiles. Isn't there a lot of invasive species now? If those crocodiles are left there, they will easily form invasive species, right? After all, crocodiles are so big. Fierce, if you stay in the river for a while, you can basically eat up the local fish."
This makes sense.
After hearing this, Lu Ao sighed in his heart. There are already many apple snails, scavengers and tilapias in their river. There are not many local fish left now. There is no room for survival.
With his personality, he couldn't bear to watch this scene at all.
Lin Qiyan came over and was about to go back after talking about the goose egg.
Lu Ao sat in front of the screen, but he didn't have much time to play games. He was still wondering whether he should catch crocodiles tomorrow.
Song Zhou sent Lin Qiyan away and came back. He knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said, "You can go if you want. Anyway, you only stay outside for a day, and it won't take much time."
Lu Ao put down the handle and turned his head to hug him, sighed softly, and said muffledly: "I'm afraid I'll be back very late again."
"If you come back very late, I'll pick you up." Song Zhou said, "It's also a good thing for you to protect the land and water."
"Ok?"
Song Zhou reminded, "You are a dragon now, and humans and other creatures should be the same to you."
Lu Ao was thoughtful, "I seem to understand a little bit, I will tell them later that I will go there tomorrow."
Lu Ao told Lin Dawu at night, and Lin Dawu was very happy.
In the fishing school, everyone also said that they were going to hunt crocodiles tomorrow, but because everyone had to go fishing first, the time for hunting crocodiles had to be pushed back, and it would take about ten o'clock to start.
Lu Ao has no objection, and just spends more time with Song Zhou in the morning.
There are still some fish in his fishing boat that have not been processed in the cold storage, and he can handle those fish tomorrow, so there is no need to fish for sale in the morning.
With his savings increasing, fishing is no longer his main business, and he does not want to clean up the nearby fish if it is not necessary.
Early the next morning, Song Zhou went to work after dinner.
Lu Ao drove his own car to the town.
The fish frozen in his freezer are considered fresh, and they are easy to sell now, because there are no particularly expensive fish species, so just send these fish directly to the fish shop in the town.
There are quite a lot of fish in the cold storage, about [-] catties, and he drove a tricycle to bring all the fish back.
These fish were sold for a total of more than 2 yuan, and [-] yuan after tax deduction.
Lu Ao deposited the money into the bank card.
He now has a deposit of more than 500 million to nearly 600 million, and he has no place to use his money recently. With this deposit, he is already living a very comfortable life.
When they came to Lin Dawu's house, Lin Manzhang and the others hadn't come yet, so Lu Ao and Lin Dawu sat drinking tea and chatting.
Lu Ao thought of something, "Brother Dawu, the mountain I built needs to be sorted out, and I need to invite some people. Do you have any introduction?"
Lin Dawu became interested, "How many people do you want to invite here? What kind of work do you do?"
"About 40 to [-] people are enough. The mountain I covered has a lot of weeds and trees. The main thing is to ask them to come over to trim the forest, get rid of the weeds and trees, and then prepare to plant fruit trees."
"How much is the salary? How much time do you work every day?"
"What's the market price on our side?"
"General construction workers pay 150 yuan a day."
Lu Ao made a decision, "That's 150 yuan. I'll pack lunch, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. If the weather is too hot, I will provide some high temperature subsidies."
"That's okay. This condition should be very good for recruiting people. I'll help you ask and give you news in two days."
"It's troublesome."
"Why are you being polite?" Lin Dawu thought again, "Do you have any special requirements for recruiting, for example, no women, no elderly people over 50 years old?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, as long as it can work, as for the old man, I may ask you to lock me up for a while. At least you must be healthy, otherwise, if something happens on the mountain, no one can afford it."
"I know this. Then you will probably do this job for a few days, do you know it?"
"It will take about ten days. With so many places, I have no plans for the time being. I have to see how fast everyone works."
Lin Dawu thought for a while, "It's okay to work, but what about the fruit trees? Have you planned to plant anything? Or just plant the fruit trees of the old Chen's family?"
"Plan those fruit trees first, and then we'll see. It may not be too late this year. I'll make a good plan next spring."
There are two golden seasons for planting trees, one is spring and the other is autumn and winter.
It is more than September now, and it is the golden season of autumn and winter. Now the fruit trees can grow well.
Lu Ao said: "Brother Chen sold the fruit tree to me, and now he doesn't know what to do for a living. I'll ask him another day if he would like to come and help me take care of the fruit tree."
Lin Dawu didn't expect him to have such a plan, and immediately said happily: "It's a good thing, he's definitely willing, why not?"
Lu Ao said: "I'll ask first, don't tell him."
"Okay, I get it, I won't say anything, you guys communicate on your own." Lin Dawu said, "I'm just happy for him. If he follows you, good times will surely come."
Lu Ao said, "I'll think about how to do it again."
In the future, he wants to become a dragon and bask in the sun on the mountain. It is definitely not possible for outsiders to stay on the mountain for a long time.
But with so many fruit trees, he can't manage them by himself.
The professor leading the archaeological team wiped his eyes with excitement after seeing the relevant photos, "This is the ship, the ship we are looking for must be underneath, look at the arc, then look at the wood grain, It must be a ship."
His team members came over to identify it carefully, and after a while they felt that the sunken ship was underneath.
The professor babbled a few words, then turned to Lu Ao: "Xiao Lu, you have made a great contribution! We will build a museum in the future, and your name will be included in the annals of history!"
Lu Ao waved his hand wearily, "It's nothing."
"Hahaha, don't be humble. Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers. You can lead everyone to find the sunken ship. It's a good job!"
The old professor was full of spirits, and asked the little soldier next to him, "Is the submersible adjusted? I'll go down and see what's going on with this boat myself."
The little soldier hurriedly said: "You are getting old, let us go."
"I've been walking in the fields all year round, and I'm in better health than you, so it doesn't matter."
Head Gu walked over quickly, and said beside him: "It's okay if you don't get in the way, let the young people go down first to have a look."
The professor said: "How ridiculous is this? Since I came to investigate, I must lead the team down to see it myself. Otherwise, I don't know anything just by looking at the photos. How can I have the face to say that I presided over this work?"
Lu Ao heard them coming and going, and said beside him: "I'll go in for dinner first."
Head Gu patted his thigh, "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot that you haven't had lunch yet. Come, come, the celebration banquet is ready for you."
Not only Lu Ao, Xiang Xingchang and the others didn't eat, and they were all so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.
Head Gu had to preside over the work, so he couldn't accompany them to eat, so he had to ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food for them.
When the food came, they were all solid and hard dishes, and the few people didn't say anything. They ate until they were [-]% full before they could talk.
Xiang Xingchang poured wine to drink.
Lu Ao waved his hand and refused, "I'm going to sail back later, and I won't drink."
Old Wen was surprised, "Hey, you will go back later? There is still a lot of follow-up salvage work."
Lu Ao shook his head, "The boats have been found, so I don't need me later, you stay here to salvage, I'll go back first."
"Don't!" Old Wen said, "Your diving skills are really good, and we have seen a lot of people. I dare say that in the whole of China, there are not many people who dare to recognize you as the second. You have to stay. , it will definitely be of great help, and besides, there will be commendation work in the follow-up, so it is not a bad thing to leave a good impression on the higher-ups."
Lao Wen only thought that he was young and energetic and didn't want to deal with government departments.
But Lu Ao made up his mind and didn't want to affect humans too much.
Xiang Xingchang understood him a bit from the side, "That's right, a person with your ability can speak with his ability wherever he goes. No matter what project he adds at any time, he must be very popular. Whether the relationship between people is good or not, for you guys For a genius like this, it doesn’t matter.”
Lu Ao shook his head, "It's nothing like that. I'm not a genius either. I'm just a little homesick. I didn't report to my family when I stayed here yesterday. If I stay here again, he will be worried."
"Speaking of this matter, we said it earlier, you have a very strict tongue, and you didn't tell us when you got married. Why? Are you afraid we won't give gift money?"
Although Xiang Xingchang said this with a joking element, he was also somewhat serious. He really regarded Lu Ao as a friend, and he felt a little uncomfortable knowing that he didn't invite him after he got married.
Lu Ao shook his head and didn't avoid them, "I didn't get a certificate and didn't serve wine, my wife is a man."
Several people here were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then looked up at Lu Ao.
Lu Ao acted as if he didn't notice anything, so he lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
After a while, Xiang Xingchang took the lead and said: "I wish you guys the best of luck to those who like men! I haven't seen many same-sex couples who can get together. You are more difficult than ordinary people. Come, I will toast you with tea instead of wine." .”
Lu Ao: "Thank you."
He drank the cup of tea happily.
Lao Wen was a little annoyed, "So you really like men. When we were diving together, someone in the team said he liked you. At that time, he wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that he would be beaten."
Lu Ao: "I have known my lover for a long time, and I met before I went on a mission with you."
"So it doesn't matter if the kid confesses his love or not?"
"No play."
"Hahaha, when I have a chance to drink with him in the future, I will tell him."
It's not a big deal that Lu Ao likes men, everyone just made fun of them in good faith, and then changed the topic.
There are also many interesting things in the diving circle. Sometimes everyone will meet to go diving in some sea area, and they will also talk about topics such as marine protection.
Lu Ao eats a lot more than the average person. While he was still eating, everyone else at the table had finished eating and sat there chatting.
He listened to the side, but heard a lot of interesting news.
After eating, Xiang Xingchang and the others were very tired and wanted to go back to the cabin to rest.
Lu Ao will sail back to the town.
He went out and talked to a head of the regiment. Head Gu felt very sorry and kept him several times. Seeing that he had decided to go, he had no choice but to agree, "Then you go back first. If we encounter any difficulties here, we still have to leave." Please come and help me."
"I will help everything I can, but I guess there should be no problem here."
"It's not certain, it's safer if you are willing to help." Captain Gu said, "You sail back by yourself, or I can find someone to take you back?"
"No, I'm familiar with the boat, it's very troublesome to send it back and forth, so that's it."
Lu Ao went to talk to Xiao Du again.
Xiao Du was also very reluctant to part with him, but Xiao Du was a small police officer and had nothing to say on the boat, so he could only reluctantly make an appointment with Lu Ao to drink together next time.
Lu Ao agreed.
He returned to his own boat in a small boat, and set off directly for their Shuiyuan Town without taking a nap.
The big boat was still faster than the small boat. It only took him more than two hours to sail from Jasmine Island to Shuiyuan Town, and it was only after five o'clock when he returned to the town, and it was still dark.
Lu Ao drove the boat to the pier in the town.
Seeing him coming back in a big boat, a manager nearby came over and asked the boat from a distance, "How long will your boat stay here?"
Lu Ao stood on the deck and replied: "It may be a long-term berthing, how about the management fee here?"
"Are you a medium-sized fishing boat? What's the length, width, and power? What about your certificate of competency? You need to complete the information, and let's see how to calculate the berthing management fee for this boat."
When Lu Ao heard the words, he didn't say much. He anchored the boat and went to the back of the boat to untie the boat, and rowed the boat back to the shore.
His boat was a medium-sized fishing boat with a relatively deep draft, so it was parked some distance away from the shore, otherwise it would run aground when the tide ebbed.
Back on shore, he fastened the skiff.
The uncle of the administrator was waiting for him, and asked, "Young student, are you from Chongxin Village?"
"how do you know?"
"Hey, let me just say, it must be you! It's spread all over the town, you bought a big boat and came back." The uncle handed him cigarettes and asked with a smile: "From now on, this boat will be here for a long time?"
"It still depends on whether it fits or not. If it fits, it's fine."
The implication is that if it is convenient, it will definitely stop here, if it is not convenient, you will have to find another place.
After hearing this, the uncle led him forward, leading the way with his hands behind his back, "Come, come, let's talk in the house first."
Lu Ao was not polite either.
The uncle squinted his eyes to read his certificate of competency first, and then read the information of his ship. After confirming that his ship was okay, he became more enthusiastic.
"You can just park your boat here. Our port is in good condition. It is famous in several nearby towns. You should register first."
"How about the management fee?"
"Those small fishing boats are parked here, two hundred a month. Your boat is too big, and it is difficult to manage it here. According to our regulations, it is about one thousand a month."
"One thousand is too expensive, eight hundred."
"It's not too expensive. If you have such a big ship, if it is parked elsewhere, if a few thieves come to sneak onto your ship, steal things or destroy it, it will be difficult. .You stop here, in addition to the good conditions of the port, which is convenient for driving out and in, we will also help take care of it."
"That's too expensive." Lu Ao: "If it costs a thousand a month, I might as well stop and go back to the village."
"Your village doesn't even have a port. Once it runs aground, how much damage will it do to the ship? You have bought tens of millions of ships, and you are afraid of paying the thousand and eight hundred berthing management fees? We are still open 24 hours a day. It’s monitoring, including security.”
"1 a month, [-] a year, nearly [-] yuan, not a lot."
Lu Ao insisted that he would not let go of [-] yuan for a month, no matter how hard the administrator tried, he did not agree.
In the end, the uncle had no choice but to sigh and said, "Okay, eight hundred a month is eight hundred, you really know how to do business in this younger generation."
Lu Ao said: "It's easy to buy a boat, but it's difficult to maintain a boat. After spending so much money to go out, I have to live frugally and tighten my belt. Of course, I can't spend more."
The uncle chuckled, "Hey, I believe what other people say, but I don't quite believe what you say. How much money can you make fishing a day?"
Lu Ao shook his head and did not answer.
He signed the relevant contract with the administrator, paid half a year's fee in one breath, and then left.
He has to go to the vegetable market first. After two days out, there should be no food at home.
But it was already late, and I went to the vegetable market at this time, and I didn't know if there were any good vegetables for sale.
Lu Ao went shopping and bought two chickens, two ducks and five catties of meat.
There is no need to buy vegetables, he grows them in the field, just pick a winter melon and pumpkins and deal with them.
After shopping for groceries, when he passed by Lin Dawu's shop, Gui Yandan was looking at the store, and when he saw him, he hurriedly chased him out and shouted: "Lu Ao!"
"Sister-in-law?" Lu Ao stopped in his tracks, "What's wrong?"
"You just came back from outside, how do you go back to the village? Come in for a cup of tea first, and let Dawu take you back later?"
"No, I'll go to the street and take a tricycle."
"The tricycles at the street corner are about to be taken back." Gui Yandan insisted, "You come in first to have a cup of tea. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Some time ago, Chenchen wanted to go to you to thank you personally. You I went to sea again, his school is about to start, so I can only go back to school if I can't wait."
After Lin Guanchen and his little girlfriend were rescued, they stayed in the hospital for a long time before being discharged, and went home to recuperate for a while.
Lin Dawu came to Lu Ao's house with tea and fruit to say thank you for saving Lu Ao's life.
Lu Ao felt that it was over, so he never took it to heart.
Lu Ao said: "Study is the most important thing, I have received your wish."
"If you receive it, let him go over and apologize to you in person." Gui Yandan smiled, "You can't repay a life-saving grace. You can't even say thank you, and you can't let him become such a heartless person. Xiao Lu, you Sit down first, if you are hungry, I will steam a steamed bun for you."
"I'm not hungry, don't bother, I have to go home, my family is waiting for me."
"Is it Song Zhou?"
The news of Lu Ao's liking for men spread quickly, and everyone had already heard the news in private without saying anything.
When Gui Yandan opened the shop, he was the most well-informed, and he knew that he had a boyfriend, and they lived together.
This is Lu Ao's private matter, even if he likes men, it will not hinder the relationship between the two families.
Gui Yandan usually protects Lu Ao outside, but now he is naturally enthusiastic as usual.
Lu Ao refused, but failed to refuse. Finally, Gui Yandan steamed the buns and gave them to him.
Gui Yandan originally regarded Lu Ao as his younger brother, but now that the two families are getting closer, Gui Yandan also intends to take care of him.
After a while, Lin Dawu came back. When he saw Lu Ao, he said happily: "Lu Ao is here? Let's eat at home. I caught a lot of fish today, and there are crocodiles. Eat something good tonight, my brother It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, we'll have a few drinks together later."
"Sister-in-law said the same thing, Song Zhou is still waiting for me at home, next time."
"Yes, men with families are really different, and they have to take responsibility."
Lin Dawu said and hurriedly moved the water tank out of the car. Lu Ao saw that he was struggling to move, so he hurried over to help him move it.
Unexpectedly, when he looked down, there was a big crocodile with its mouth tightly tied up with tape in the water tank.
This crocodile weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms, and it looks very strong in the water tank.
Lin Dawu lowered his head and saw the crocodile, said: "This is a farmed crocodile, you can eat it. Wait a moment, I'll take it to the kitchen and kill half of the meat for you to take back."
"Need not."
"Hey, you're welcome. I brought it back and gave it to relatives and friends. Look at this big crocodile. Chenchen went to school again. Your sister-in-law and I couldn't finish it. Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it. It's not fresh anymore."
"Is this crocodile meat very expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it's usually five or sixty yuan a catty. I didn't spend any money on this one, it was a gift from a friend."
Lu Ao had never eaten crocodile meat, so he was a little interested in this meat.
Panting, Lin Dawu carried the crocodile with him to the kitchen. After putting down the water tank in his hand, he gasped and said, "My brother is also a sinner. He made a big pond to raise crocodiles. Who knows that it has been raining a lot lately?" , He was careless and didn’t check the fence properly, the rain washed away the fence the night before, and dozens of crocodiles he raised ran out.”
"This is the crocodile that ran out. We surrounded it for a whole day and finally caught it. We even injured it. If it wasn't for the injury, we wouldn't be willing to eat it."
Lu Ao felt strange, "Keeping crocodiles is more than just a fence?"
"That is to say, he did have more than one fence, but his outer fence already had holes, and he usually did things carelessly, so he didn't check it out. No, the water broke down the inner fence last night, and the crocodile ran away. Get out, and slip through the outside fence again."
"It's so serious, we don't have crocodiles here, right?"
"No, even if there were, they would have been extinct long ago." Lin Dawu straightened up and thumped his lower back, "It's because we don't have crocodiles here, it's troublesome if he ran out of crocodiles, and we only found them after searching all day today There are more than 20, and there are more than ten outside."
Lu Ao: "Won't that cause biological invasion?"
"I don't know. I have called the police just now, and I don't know if the police can do anything about it. It's okay to say that crocodiles are not a species with strong reproductive ability. I am afraid that the little crocodiles that escaped will grow up and become adults." Alligators will attack people and other animals."
These crocodiles are all raised by humans. If these crocodiles attack people in the future, the victim will have nothing to do with the crocodiles, and the owner must seek compensation for compensation.
The crocodile owner is very worried at home now.
It's okay to bite someone, but if he kills someone, he will be sentenced.
After Lin Dawu finished speaking, he remembered, "Speaking of looking for crocodiles, I must be looking for you young lads. Are you free these two days? Why don't we help you find them? His crocodiles are all farmed crocodiles It’s not too fierce, when the time comes, you will go look for it with a spear gun, just kill it, and I will let him count your wages.”
"Can it still be like this?"
"Why not, let's see if you have time to help." Lin Dawu sighed, "There are no young fishermen who are better than you in the nearby ten miles and eight towns."
Lu Ao really didn't expect to come in for a cup of tea and still find work.
He thought for a while and said: "I'll think about it for a night, go back and ask my family's opinion, and then ask the Lingong merchants if they are willing to do it."
"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask Manzhang to tell you. This time, the crocodile owner really can't ask me, so I have to be cheeky to beg you."
"I'll ask first."
"Hey, just ask." Lin Dawu replied, and said again, "Go out and sit outside for a while, have a cup of tea, and I'll come out after I've dealt with the crocodile, and I'll take you home later."
"What to do with this crocodile?"
"Just kill it, remove the internal organs and skin it." Lin Dawu smiled, "Don't think I'm not as good as you in fishing, but you may not be as good as me in doing these chores. Go sit outside for a while, and I'll get it done soon. "
Lu Ao said: "Let me help you here, and learn how to deal with crocodiles by the way."
"If you don't dislike it, you can stay here, but it's a bit bloody."
"fine."
Lin Dawu's hands are fast.
This crocodile is also relatively small, so it is not difficult to handle.
After more than half an hour, he had already removed the crocodile meat.
He raised his hand and gave Lu Ao half of it, "The crocodile meat tastes good, and it's easy to cook. You can take it home and stir-fry it, or stew it for a while. It tastes good."
"Okay, I'll go back and try later."
"It's the freshest to eat today, and it's best to pair it with some wine. This stuff is very filling."
Lu Ao agreed.
Soon, Lin Dawu took care of the crocodile and drove Lu Ao back.
In addition to the crocodile meat and the meat and vegetables bought by Lu Ao, there were also several large cabbages from Guiyan Dansai in the car.
It's all pre-cooked food.
Before getting off the car, Lu Ao said: "You are too polite."
"It's okay, there are so many vegetables in the house, and the two of us alone can't eat much at home. It's good for you to help consume some, so as to save us from eating leftovers at home every day." Lin Dawu helped carry the vegetables down together, and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you want to catch crocodiles together, tell me on WeChat later."
"Okay, walk slowly."
It was getting late, and Lin Dawu didn't stay for long. After sending him home, he drove back in his own car.
Before Lu Ao opened the door, the door of his house creaked and opened from the inside to the outside. Inside was Song Zhou's face, "You're back?"
"Well, I'm back."
Song Zhou rolled his eyes, "I thought you wouldn't come back today."
Lu Ao was serious, "That's not true, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Song Zhou came out to help carry the food in together: "Are you hungry? I brought food back from the institution."
"It's okay. I just ate buns at Brother Dawu's house. By the way, I brought back crocodile meat. I'll cook another crocodile meat later."
Song Zhou was very interested, "Where did you get the crocodile meat?"
"It was also given by Brother Dawu. He has a friend who raises crocodiles. When it rained last night, he didn't take good care of the crocodiles and let the crocodiles escape. He simply caught the escaped crocodiles and sold them."
"I just said why there are crocodiles here."
"again?"
"Thousands of years ago, when it was warm here, there were crocodiles, but now they are gone."
"I've never heard of it, and it's not recorded in the county annals."
"Thousands of years ago, there was no human habitation here at that time, and it was all a wilderness." Song Zhou laughed. "Later, someone saw a crocodile here, and suspected that the crocodile was a dragon."
Lu Ao looked at the crocodile meat in the bag, and then imagined the scene of recognizing the crocodile as a dragon. He felt a little unbelievable, "The crocodile is so different from the dragon, how can it be recognized as the same thing?"
Song Zhou said: "What's so strange about this, you didn't think you were a lizard before?"
When Lu Ao heard about his black history, his ears turned red, and he coughed lightly to change the subject, "When is it going to happen, come and help me, I'm going to fry the crocodile."
Song Zhou didn't expose him either, "Well, make it a stir-fry?"
"Well, Brother Dawu said it's the same as cooking other meat."
It was Lu Ao's first time eating crocodile meat, and he was not very familiar with it.
Unexpectedly, when the meat is cooked, the taste is surprisingly good.
Stir-frying this kind of meat is very fast, just put it in the pan and stir-fry until it changes color. It doesn’t need to be fried for too long, so as not to fry the meat too old.
More than ten minutes later, Lu Ao went outside with a large plate of freshly cooked crocodile meat.
Song Zhou set out the meals he brought back one by one.
They now like to eat in the yard, or under the eaves if it rains.
At this time, the sunset glow has come up, the evening breeze is blowing, and the yard is cool. Sitting next to the grape trellis for dinner is still very comfortable.
When Lu Ao came to the table, he couldn't wait to taste the crocodile meat.
The taste of crocodile meat is very good. It is indeed a bit like beef, but it is a little thicker than beef. It tastes very chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Lu Ao picked up a chopstick for Songzhou, "Try this, I think it's quite delicious."
"I'll try it." Song Zhou put a mouthful into his mouth and said for a while, "It's really delicious."
"Then you eat more, brother Da Wu gave too much crocodile meat, we will try to finish it today, and make the other half tomorrow morning."
After Lu Ao finished picking up the dishes for Songzhou, he honestly confessed: "We have found the sunken ship today."
"are you sure?"
"It's confirmed, I took people down to find it." Lu Ao said, "Actually, I basically had a feeling yesterday afternoon, and I confirmed it again today. But even without me, they can quickly find the corresponding location .”
Lu Ao was afraid that Song Zhou would say something about him, so he hurriedly added: "I just want to help you one last time. I will definitely not take the initiative to do this thing next time. Does it matter?"
Song Zhou said: "It doesn't matter much. But you have done everything, it's too late to say anything."
"Yeah." Lu Ao was a little nervous, "I won't do it next time."
"Don't worry too much. These are small things in the end. As long as you don't continue, you should be fine."
Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Zhou Shen Sheng: "The way of heaven is not so strict. It's just that as a non-human being, it has too much influence on a country. If you use this ability to help a country, it will soon cause an imbalance. This is not good for the country or you. Not a good thing."
"It's not that you can't help at all, it's just that you can't help if you can. Good steel should be used wisely."
Lu Ao said solemnly, "I understand."
After finishing speaking, Lu Ao whispered, "You are so serious today."
"Are you not listening if you are not serious?"
Lu Ao said, "Listen."
"I'll listen to everything you say."
Song Zhou paused for a while, and said, "Eat quickly."
After eating, the two went to wash the dishes together, and then returned to the living room to play games.
Lu Ao just bought a game console recently, and the time to play games after dinner is the most intimate time for the two of them.
He failed to play this game on the boat yesterday, and Lu Ao has already fallen behind by several levels. Playing the game again today, his fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high.
Who knew that when the game was just hitting the highlight, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Qiyan's clear voice came, "Lu Ao, are you home? I seem to see you coming back this afternoon."
Lu Ao lightly touched Song Zhou's knee with his knee, "Go and open the door."
"Can you do it alone?"
"Okay, no problem. If you don't open the door, he will keep knocking on the door, which will make it easier to get distracted." Lu Ao kept staring at the screen with a bit of annoyed expression.
Lin Qiyan's arrival was too unfortunate. Even if he was a little earlier or a little later, he didn't reach the key point in this game. Now that Songzhou went to open the door, the pressure was suddenly transferred to him. Even if his hand speed is very good, he still feels the pressure now.
Especially the system matched them with good opponents according to their level.
Lin Qiyan didn't know that they were playing games. After entering, he greeted Song Zhou and hurried in, "Lu Ao, what are you doing? I need your help."
"I'm playing a game, I'm at a critical point, don't make a sound."
"Oh, then I'll talk after you finish the fight."
Lu Ao's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he greeted Song Zhou, "Quick, come help, I'm going to die."
Song Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If this one dies, wouldn't it be enough to revive it?"
"No, no, it will drop stars, come here quickly."
The Lu Ao who played the game was completely different from the Lu Ao Lin Qiyan usually saw.
Lin Qiyan watched from the side, a little curious and a little envious.
The mental states of people who are in a relationship are very different from those who are not. Seeing the young man in front of him, it is hard for him to imagine that this person was the taciturn and cold type when he first returned to the village.
After playing the game, Lu Ao let out a long sigh of relief after making sure that he didn't lose. He put down the game controller, shook his hands, and turned to Lin Qiyan, "What's going on, what can I do for you?"
Lin Qiyan said: "Isn't it because you raise geese? The last time I went to shoot a video of geese with you, some fans saw it and said they wanted to buy your goose eggs. Let me ask if you sell them."
"Not for sale." Lu Ao rebuffed straight away, "I don't produce much here. If your fans want to eat goose eggs, just let them go to the vegetable market to buy them."
"I also told her so euphemistically, but firstly, she is my die-hard fan, so I don't want to hit her too hard, secondly, she is pregnant now, and said that she wants to eat goose eggs to nourish her body, so that she can give birth to a white and tender baby. Little baby, I can't refuse when I hear this."
"What does being pregnant have to do with eating goose eggs?"
"It's just a custom. I don't know where there is a custom that says that children born after eating goose eggs will be white and tender, and will not suffer from eczema, jaundice, etc. I don't know if it is true or not, just listen to it."
Lin Qiyan said honestly, "Since the fans have that kind of heart, I'll come over and ask for help. You can sell it more expensive, and I'll send it out for you when the time comes. It doesn't need to be too much, just a few thoughts will do."
Lu Ao couldn't refuse when he heard this.
He thought for a while and said, "How about this, you will feed the geese with me tomorrow, and let's see how many unfertilized goose eggs there are? Sell her as many as you can."
"Okay, no problem. If it really doesn't work, one or two will do. Let her have a good time. By the way, Brother Dawu wants us to fight crocodiles tomorrow? Don't you want to go?"
"Not yet, do you want to go?"
"I want to go." Lin Qiyan admitted honestly, "Catching crocodiles is a very good material. I haven't seen anyone on the website who has made this type of film. If I can make a good one, the number of hits should be good. .”
Lu Ao nodded.
He really didn't make up his mind, he had to stay at home for two days no matter how hard he came back, if he went to catch crocodiles in other places, he would come back very late again accidentally.
Song Zhou was so busy every day, originally the two of them only spent time together in the morning and evening, and they seldom had lunch together, if he came back late, the two of them would spend less time together.
Lu Ao felt a little reluctant.
Lin Qiyan didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "And I think it's very meaningful to catch crocodiles. Isn't there a lot of invasive species now? If those crocodiles are left there, they will easily form invasive species, right? After all, crocodiles are so big. Fierce, if you stay in the river for a while, you can basically eat up the local fish."
This makes sense.
After hearing this, Lu Ao sighed in his heart. There are already many apple snails, scavengers and tilapias in their river. There are not many local fish left now. There is no room for survival.
With his personality, he couldn't bear to watch this scene at all.
Lin Qiyan came over and was about to go back after talking about the goose egg.
Lu Ao sat in front of the screen, but he didn't have much time to play games. He was still wondering whether he should catch crocodiles tomorrow.
Song Zhou sent Lin Qiyan away and came back. He knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said, "You can go if you want. Anyway, you only stay outside for a day, and it won't take much time."
Lu Ao put down the handle and turned his head to hug him, sighed softly, and said muffledly: "I'm afraid I'll be back very late again."
"If you come back very late, I'll pick you up." Song Zhou said, "It's also a good thing for you to protect the land and water."
"Ok?"
Song Zhou reminded, "You are a dragon now, and humans and other creatures should be the same to you."
Lu Ao was thoughtful, "I seem to understand a little bit, I will tell them later that I will go there tomorrow."
Lu Ao told Lin Dawu at night, and Lin Dawu was very happy.
In the fishing school, everyone also said that they were going to hunt crocodiles tomorrow, but because everyone had to go fishing first, the time for hunting crocodiles had to be pushed back, and it would take about ten o'clock to start.
Lu Ao has no objection, and just spends more time with Song Zhou in the morning.
There are still some fish in his fishing boat that have not been processed in the cold storage, and he can handle those fish tomorrow, so there is no need to fish for sale in the morning.
With his savings increasing, fishing is no longer his main business, and he does not want to clean up the nearby fish if it is not necessary.
Early the next morning, Song Zhou went to work after dinner.
Lu Ao drove his own car to the town.
The fish frozen in his freezer are considered fresh, and they are easy to sell now, because there are no particularly expensive fish species, so just send these fish directly to the fish shop in the town.
There are quite a lot of fish in the cold storage, about [-] catties, and he drove a tricycle to bring all the fish back.
These fish were sold for a total of more than 2 yuan, and [-] yuan after tax deduction.
Lu Ao deposited the money into the bank card.
He now has a deposit of more than 500 million to nearly 600 million, and he has no place to use his money recently. With this deposit, he is already living a very comfortable life.
When they came to Lin Dawu's house, Lin Manzhang and the others hadn't come yet, so Lu Ao and Lin Dawu sat drinking tea and chatting.
Lu Ao thought of something, "Brother Dawu, the mountain I built needs to be sorted out, and I need to invite some people. Do you have any introduction?"
Lin Dawu became interested, "How many people do you want to invite here? What kind of work do you do?"
"About 40 to [-] people are enough. The mountain I covered has a lot of weeds and trees. The main thing is to ask them to come over to trim the forest, get rid of the weeds and trees, and then prepare to plant fruit trees."
"How much is the salary? How much time do you work every day?"
"What's the market price on our side?"
"General construction workers pay 150 yuan a day."
Lu Ao made a decision, "That's 150 yuan. I'll pack lunch, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. If the weather is too hot, I will provide some high temperature subsidies."
"That's okay. This condition should be very good for recruiting people. I'll help you ask and give you news in two days."
"It's troublesome."
"Why are you being polite?" Lin Dawu thought again, "Do you have any special requirements for recruiting, for example, no women, no elderly people over 50 years old?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, as long as it can work, as for the old man, I may ask you to lock me up for a while. At least you must be healthy, otherwise, if something happens on the mountain, no one can afford it."
"I know this. Then you will probably do this job for a few days, do you know it?"
"It will take about ten days. With so many places, I have no plans for the time being. I have to see how fast everyone works."
Lin Dawu thought for a while, "It's okay to work, but what about the fruit trees? Have you planned to plant anything? Or just plant the fruit trees of the old Chen's family?"
"Plan those fruit trees first, and then we'll see. It may not be too late this year. I'll make a good plan next spring."
There are two golden seasons for planting trees, one is spring and the other is autumn and winter.
It is more than September now, and it is the golden season of autumn and winter. Now the fruit trees can grow well.
Lu Ao said: "Brother Chen sold the fruit tree to me, and now he doesn't know what to do for a living. I'll ask him another day if he would like to come and help me take care of the fruit tree."
Lin Dawu didn't expect him to have such a plan, and immediately said happily: "It's a good thing, he's definitely willing, why not?"
Lu Ao said: "I'll ask first, don't tell him."
"Okay, I get it, I won't say anything, you guys communicate on your own." Lin Dawu said, "I'm just happy for him. If he follows you, good times will surely come."
Lu Ao said, "I'll think about how to do it again."
In the future, he wants to become a dragon and bask in the sun on the mountain. It is definitely not possible for outsiders to stay on the mountain for a long time.
But with so many fruit trees, he can't manage them by himself.
