Chapter 34 Storm
Sometimes it's like this.
I searched the entire beach for most of the day but couldn't find a few clams. But when I accidentally turned over a piece of sand, a large group of clams suddenly appeared.
At this time, Liang's mother didn't bother to say anything. She quickly picked up the small shovel, squatted down, and helped dig clams.
The shell of the clam is relatively thin and long oval in shape. The top of the shell is slightly protruding and slightly curved forward at the front of the dorsal edge.
The surface of the clam is smooth and has beautiful patterns of red, brown, black, etc. This is probably how the name "clam" came about.
When the tide rises, clams will rush to the beach and extend their water tubes to breathe, eat and excrete.
After the tide recedes, the double shells gradually close and, relying on the extension and retraction of their feet, they retreat back under the beach, making it difficult to find any trace.
But it's not really without a trace.
It leaves tiny holes in the beach surface.
What is different from bamboo clams is that bamboo clams leave unique figure-eight shaped pores, while clams leave two closely located holes formed by the water inlet and outlet pipes.
Of course, some clams are hidden deep inside and their holes are not obvious, so they are not easy to find.
Liang Ziqiang had only found two small holes at first, but he didn't expect that after digging a few times with a rake, he would dig out a large area.
"There are new ones turned up again. There are so many. I didn't expect there were so many under this piece of sand!"
Even Liang's mother couldn't stop.
"I dug some too. Quite a few!"
Liang Lizhi was also a little drunk.
The three of them were a little tired after digging, and Liang's mother said thankfully:
"Fortunately I brought a bucket with me, otherwise there wouldn't be enough!"
The three of them continued digging until there was no more trace of clams, and then they took a break.
"Mom, Litchi, you two continue to look for it on the beach. I'll find a place to take care of it."
After Liang Ziqiang stopped, he realized that he almost forgot about his urgency to pee.
"Go ahead, there are so many things to do!"
Liang's mother said something to him and then took Lizhi to continue searching the beach.
Liang Ziqiang looked around. About 20 to 30 meters away, there was a small banyan tree forest and two giant pebbles taller than a person.
At present, there is no more ideal and convenient place than that.
Liang Ziqiang stepped on the sand and ran to the banyan forest in three or two steps like a gust of wind.
Just as I was about to go around the boulder and walk into the banyan grove to release the water, I suddenly heard someone talking in my ears.
Hearing that it was someone he knew, he quickly stopped, stood behind a boulder, and looked back.
Sure enough, under the tree were Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai, who had just had a fight.
There was another person, who was Yang Laizi’s son, Yang Xi!
"Tell me, Yang Xi, you are so mysterious and you brought us here. What's the good news?"
This is Deng Zhaocai talking to Yang Xi.
It seems that the three of them did not meet here by chance, but Yang Xi deliberately brought them here.
Li Liang looked at the cigarette he took from Yang Xi and spoke:
“Seagull cigarettes, great cigarettes.
Yang Xi, I heard that you have been running around these days. I think you have found a good way to make money. It seems to be true? You are looking for us today. Do you want to get us to make a fortune together? "
Yang Xi took out a match and lit cigarettes for the two men. He then gritted his teeth and said, "If I can really get rich, you two will definitely be indispensable in the future. The main reason I came to you today is to ask you two to help me beat up a guy!"
"Two cigarettes, and then help you beat someone up?"
Li Liang held the cigarette but didn't smoke it. Instead, he asked back.
"How is that possible?" Yang Xi took out two big unity notes from his pocket, "This is the reward."
He handed the money to Li Liang and the other man and said, "You two should have heard about this. Some time ago, my dad went out to cast a net at night and was caught by Liang Ziqiang. That bastard slandered me and extorted a large sum of money from my family. He also made our family lose face in the village..."
Hearing this, Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai looked at each other.
Li Liang spoke first, raised his eyebrows, and interrupted Yang Xi:
"We know about this. Just tell me, how do you want to beat me?"
Yang Xi's face was filled with joy, and he said hurriedly:
"I knew I was right to find you two! You two are the only ones in the village who can outwit Ji Mao.
I saw him fishing this morning. You two can go to the beach and find him. Pick a fight. Beat Liang Ziqiang the same way you beat Lin Guangming just now. It will be fine as long as there are no broken bones. "
Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai were obviously silent for a moment.
Liang Ziqiang, who was lying behind the giant pebble, did not seem nervous. Instead, his eyes became playful as he watched what was happening under the tree.
Deng Zhaocai suddenly laughed and asked Yang Xi: "Are you sure you want to beat me now?"
Yang Xi nodded affirmatively again.
Li Liang waved his hand:
"Okay, let me explain to you first. This is how I beat Lin Guangming this morning!"
Before Yang Xi could come to his senses, there was a loud buzzing sound in his ears.
Then, the burning pain came late.
Yang Xi was stunned on the spot, until he was slapped twice in the face, then he realized something was wrong.
He turned around and tried to escape, but Deng Zhaocai was prepared and kicked him to the ground.
After a round of punches and kicks, Yang Xi howled twice:
"Are you two crazy? He is your mortal enemy!"
Li Liang took a breath, looked at Yang Xi on the ground and said:
"Fuck you! Don't say I didn't warn you. If you say something bad about Qiangzi in front of us again, I'll beat you up every time! If you dare to retaliate against him, you'll be retaliating against us. Don't blame us for being rude then!"
Not far away, Liang Ziqiang heard this and the corners of his mouth twitched, with a complicated expression.
"When did you become friends?" Yang Xi asked in confusion, enduring the pain.
"You don't need to know about our affairs?" Li Liang threw two bills back at Yang Xi's face. "Keep them for yourself. If you dare to touch Qiangzi, I'm afraid the money you earn from working hard outside won't be enough to buy medicine for yourself!"
Seeing that Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai were about to leave the tree, Liang Ziqiang turned and ran away.
I found a new place and finally released the water.
When I returned to the beach and continued digging clams with my mother and Lizhi, I was a little absent-minded, still thinking about what had just happened in the woods.
To be honest, in the previous life, most of the interactions between me and those two evildoers, Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai, were indeed related to fighting.
The relationship changed about five or six days before I was imprisoned.
That was one week before his rebirth.
When setting the trap net, Liang Ziqiang went to a place that was quite far away, a bay called Wild Duck Bay, which borders the neighboring Hengji Village.
Tracing back to the past, Yeya Bay actually belonged to Changwang Village in the beginning, but Hengji Village refused to acknowledge it and insisted that it belonged to their village.
Normally, there are many disputes between the two villages over this bay, and fights often occur.
That day, before Liang Ziqiang entered the bay, he saw several men from Hengji Village sneaking in and causing trouble.
They were going to destroy the oyster piles in the oyster farm of Pomfret Village.
Liang Ziqiang was thinking about whether to step forward to stop it, but he didn't expect that there were two other people placing traps nearby.
Without saying a word, the two guys suddenly rushed forward and started fighting with the men from Hengji Village.
Those two people were Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai.
Unfortunately, the two men obviously misjudged their own strength and were quickly subdued by the other five and almost thrown into the sea.
Considering that these two guys were protecting the village property, Liang Ziqiang did not stand idly by. He swung the bucket in his hand, rushed forward and smashed them on the heads.
His fighting ability was fully demonstrated that night, and he turned the situation around on his own.
In the end, it was three against five, and the other side was beaten so badly that they fled with injuries.
It was also with that beating that the grudge between Li Liang and Liang Ziqiang that had existed since childhood was finally wiped out.
None of the three were the kind of people who liked to show off, so apart from reminding the village secretary Zhong Yongrui about the incident in Yeya Bay, no one else in the village knew about it.
It is completely normal that Yang Xi is unaware of the subtle changes in the relationship between Li Liang and Liang Ziqiang.
On the night of the fight, Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai got so excited that they grabbed Liang Ziqiang and almost became sworn brothers with him on the spot.
If Liang Ziqiang had not refused, the "Three Heroes of Wild Duck Bay" would probably have emerged out of nowhere.
But there was one thing Liang Ziqiang didn't expect.
During the two years he was imprisoned, only his mother and Liang Lizhi were left at home.
There were many people in the village who looked down on others. Even their own relatives did not look kindly upon Yuan Qiuying and her daughter.
On the contrary, Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai helped Yuan Qiuying several times, which could be said to be a timely help to the orphan girl and her widowed mother.
Judging from their experiences in their previous lives, these two guys are not actually that bad. They are just too reckless when faced with things, even more reckless than Liang Ziqiang.
For this reason, when Liang Ziqiang saw the banyan tree forest just now, he could be basically certain that Li Liang and others were unlikely to accept Yang Xi's bribe.
"Let's go, we've finished digging the clams, the tide will soon be high!"
The voice of his mother Yuan Qiuying made Liang Ziqiang quickly collect his thoughts.
"I'll carry the bucket, let's go home!"
Liang Ziqiang picked up two buckets full of harvest and returned home with his mother and sister.
After walking for a while, Liang Ziqiang suddenly saw Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai appearing from nowhere.
Two big guys were standing on the shore, looking towards him.
When their eyes met, she blinked at him desperately.
Obviously, he had something to say to him.
Liang Ziqiang quickly turned his head and pretended not to see it, for fear that his mother would find out that Li Liang was looking for him.
"Mom, you and Lizhi go back first. I've thought about it and decided to just take these clams to the dock and sell them!"
Liang Ziqiang quickly found an excuse and said to his mother.
The mother didn't think much about it and took Liang Lizhi home first.
Liang Ziqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked towards Li Liang and the others.
