Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two weeks, Bai Yu and Wang Hai had a very fulfilling time. They would stay on the playground from the moment they got up in the morning, and they didn't even go back to the dormitory to rest at noon. They also didn't go back to the classroom at night, but stayed on the playground instead.
That's why, a summer of beachcombing didn't tan Bai Yu and his companion, but after half a month of military training, they got two shades darker.
However, Bai Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Being a little darker is healthy, and besides, he wasn't dark-skinned now, but rather had a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
On September 20th, Bai Yu and his classmates had just finished their military training performance at the Ocean Academy and then got a short day of rest.
"Brother Yu, our military training is over. We have a day and a half off, including this afternoon. Let's go beachcombing!"
As soon as the military training performance ended, on the way back to the dormitory, Wang Hai asked Bai Yu, who was standing next to him.
"Absolutely! We haven't had any business for half a month. We have to go beachcombing today. I'll call my cousin later and ask him if he wants to come."
Unlike Bai Yu and Wang Hai, Hu Tao is a proper senior student who has already been formally attending classes for a long time.
At the same time, Li Xue was also in the same situation. Her military training had long since ended, and Bai Yu was also going to ask her if Li Xue had time to go beachcombing in the afternoon.
However, even if Hu Tao and Li Xue have time, they can't rush to go beachcombing, mainly because it's still quite early.
It's only a little past eleven o'clock, and the tide hasn't even started to recede yet. Even if you want to go beachcombing, you should at least go after 2 pm.
After returning to her dormitory, Bai Yu called Hu Tao and Li Xue respectively, only to find out that they were both busy with classes that afternoon.
There's no other way. They have to go to class, so only Bai Yu and Wang Hai can go beachcombing this afternoon.
Before each beachcombing trip, Bai Yu was filled with anticipation. This had nothing to do with his luck, but rather with the expectation of the unknown rewards.
Take today for example, Bai Yu's luck value is actually not high, just over 30 points, although this value is the highest recently.
However, this was not what Bai Yu was looking forward to. What he was looking forward to was the location where they were going to go beachcombing, which was the first place he and Wang Hai had found here, but they had never been there since.
There, he also bought some seafood from a local woman. I wonder if she'll remember him when he goes back this time.
At 2 p.m., Bai Yu and Wang Hai, each wearing a onesie wading suit and a sun hat, set off with two plastic buckets placed in front of their electric scooter.
As the two of them left, their roommates, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, watched them go from the window.
Bai Yu had asked the two of them if they wanted to go beachcombing, but after seeing the bright sun in the sky, they decisively declined the invitation. They planned to stay in their dorm and play games that afternoon.
Twenty minutes later, Bai Yu and Wang Hai arrived at the small fishing village they had visited for the first time. They parked their electric bikes by the roadside, each carrying a bucket, and headed towards the beach.
Even though it's only a little past two o'clock and the tide has only just started to recede, the sun overhead is already incredibly strong.
Despite the combined effects of these buffs, Bai Yu still managed to spot scattered figures on the beach, and even on the rocks a little further away, villagers were searching for prey.
For these villagers, neither the high temperatures nor the lingering tides could deter them from making money by going to the beach.
After all, the saying "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water" is a survival rule passed down through generations.
Especially for these elderly villagers who lack skills, beachcombing is one of the few ways they can supplement their family income.
Seeing the scattered villagers on the beach, Bai Yu and Wang Hai had no intention of going over to join the fun.
After all, the beach is so big, and there are plenty of deserted areas. The two brothers could easily find a deserted area to go beachcombing.
The main purpose of Bai and Yu's trip to the beach was to explore the mudflats, and they even wore wading pants for this purpose.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai then each carried a plastic bucket and walked into the mudflats. Bai Yu had experienced these mudflats before, and walking on them was no different from walking in silt.
No, there is a difference. The silt in the freshwater layer, regardless of the type of river or lake, always has an odor, or rather, a foul smell.
However, the mudflats by the sea have no smell, or at least no foul smell; they only smell of the ocean.
As soon as Bai Yu woke up, he entered the mudflats and beach. The mudflats, which had just been dredged by the sun, were not yet dry by the receding tide. With each step he took, he left a footprint in the same spot. It was truly a case of one footprint for each step.
As he walked, Bai Yu suddenly felt something strange under his feet. He felt his soles being poked, as if he had stepped on something.
With this new discovery, Bai Yu naturally wanted to see what he had found under his feet.
"Ah Hai, I think I stepped on something. Point the camera at the sole of my foot and film it. It looks like a scallop."
Ugh, wearing waders is such a hassle. I have absolutely no idea what they are, but I can't go without them either. Who knows if there are broken glass or nails or something on the beach?
To all the guys in front of the camera, if you're out beachcombing, please make sure you take precautions. And if you get injured, be sure to treat it with antiseptic and disinfectant.
Before grabbing the thing he stepped on, Bai Yu first gave a brief explanation to the camera.
It's important to understand that due to human presence, the ocean is no longer as clean as it used to be, and the same goes for the coastline.
With the current coastline, no one can be sure whether there are sharp objects like broken glass or nails under the silt.
After being soaked in seawater for a long time, these things are already covered with bacteria. If you get pricked by them, put aside the pain, the sterilization process must be done well.
The same applies to getting pricked by seafood. Whether it's poisonous seafood or the shrimp, crab, and fish we often eat, the first thing to do when you're injured is to disinfect and reduce inflammation.
We must not take this lightly. We must know that a considerable number of people have died in our country because of these kinds of incidents, all due to our own negligence and carelessness.
Although the protection provided by wading pants is limited, wearing them is better than not wearing them at all, and Bai Yu and Wang Hai were doing so for their own safety.
After a brief reminder, Bai Yu got down to business.
After moving the foot that had stepped on something away, Bai Yu tentatively dug a couple of times with a sand shovel.
With a click, the sand shovel clearly made the sound of digging something, and then Bai Yu flipped his hand and dug out a large, slightly white hairy clam.
What Bai Yu stepped on was a hairy clam, and it was a hairy clam that was eating. There was also a small fish stuck in the crevices of the clam.
A tiny, insignificant fish with only a tail left, its species indistinguishable, died a horrible death.
"Brothers, today's opening day is a great one! A super big hairy clam. Don't be fooled by the fact that hairy clams aren't expensive, they're heavy!"
This clam I have here is worth at least that much. That's right, two yuan. Not bad, right? One clam can buy a bottle of water.
I'll also tell you guys a secret: it's said that clams can improve erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, but I don't know if that's true.
However, if any of you guys have this problem, you can buy some and try it out. Then come back and tell us in the comments if it works for you.
Bai Yu held the hairy clam in front of the camera and asked Wang Hai to take a close-up of it. Then, she mysteriously talked about its value and effects.
As for whether fans will try it, Bai Yu has no say in that, and he thinks that even if someone does try it, they won't share it in the comments section.
As Bai Yu said, the price of hairy clams is really not high, ranging from a few yuan to more than ten yuan.
The one Bai Yu has is quite large, weighing about two ounces each, so it can fetch a slightly higher price; selling it for two yuan wouldn't be a problem at all.
