"I know, Uncle Xiaohu made a lot of money from this information, but later no one bought it anymore, and everyone knows that."
"That damn Wang Defa, if it weren't for him, we could have caught a few more," Ye Cheng complained.
"There are no coconut crabs left there, why are you still going?" Ye Guowei asked.
"Go get some bird's nest."
"Bird's nest? You actually found bird's nest?" Ye Guowei exclaimed in shock. "In all these years, I don't recall ever hearing of anyone managing to get their hands on bird's nest."
"Brother Wei, Brother Cheng and I got some last time, but we didn't have ladders, so we brought ladders this time." Xiao Hu pointed to the ladders on the boat.
"So that's what you guys are doing with the ladder. Well, I'm pretty good at climbing walls too. Xiao Hu and I will climb it, and A-Cheng can haul it up from below."
Ye Cheng didn't object. In matters of physical strength and power, he was indeed no match for his older brother and Xiao Hu.
Ye Guowei successfully steered the boat to the island of coconut crabs.
After mooring the boat, the three of them jumped into the sea and went ashore. The sea turtle swam up with them; this guy was more intelligent than a dog.
Since the cave for the bird's nest was on the other side, Ye Cheng decided not to bring the sea turtle with him. He put it on the beach, and the three of them picked up some small fish and shrimp for it to stay on the beach by itself.
If this guy is willing to wait, he'll wait until Ye Cheng and the others come back.
It would be a good thing if it wanted to go back to the sea.
After all, it's a wild sea turtle; the ocean is its home.
The three of them walked directly towards the coconut grove. Ye Cheng pointed to the still bare coconut trees and said...
"Brother, look, they've destroyed all the coconuts, and the coconut crabs are gone too. We could have caught a few to eat."
This time, Ye Cheng learned from his mistake and brought a lot of food and water. There were no self-heating hot pots available, but if there were, he would definitely have brought one to the island.
When passing by the coconut grove, Ye Cheng took a special look. The traps he had set up earlier had collapsed, and there were some fresh footprints on the ground. It was hard to say whether there were any coconut crabs left.
After passing through the coconut grove, we arrived at the cave we had visited earlier. As soon as we entered, we felt incredibly cool, and the spring water was crystal clear. It truly was a paradise on earth.
"Brother Wei, look, it's right here." Xiao Hu led Ye Guowei to introduce his previous achievements.
Ye Guowei looked around and nodded repeatedly. "This place is nice, Cheng. It's not too high. Our ladder should be enough."
As he was speaking, he turned around and glanced at Ye Cheng, his face instantly turning black with disbelief. "Damn it! Cheng, what are you doing?"
Ye Cheng brought over two stone slabs, then laid out cigarettes and drinks, and even pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds. Was he here for a spring outing?
Ye Cheng chuckled, "Brother, since it's always you and Xiao Hu climbing, I'll be bored down here. I need to find something to do."
Seeing his younger brother's shameless expression, Ye Guowei was helpless.
Xiao Hu was too lazy to say anything. He just grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and put them in his pocket. He knew that if he didn't save some, Ye Cheng would definitely finish them all by himself.
Last time we found relatively low places, but this time the ladder is very long, about ten meters high, which can reach the top of the cave.
Xiao Hu and Ye Guowei each grabbed a ladder and started looking for the right angle. They needed to find a place to wedge the bottom of the ladder, otherwise they would slip and fall to their deaths.
Both of them were efficient workers and quickly found the right angle to climb up the ladder.
"Brother, is there?" Ye Cheng was cracking sunflower seeds below, holding a net in his hand. If there was a moment, he would simply stretch out the net to catch it.
"There really is one," Ye Guowei replied, prying a piece of bird's nest off the cave wall. It was yellowish-white, just like the bird's nest from last time.
Ye Cheng carefully lifted the net up and let Ye Guowei throw it into the net.
We had just finished collecting things here when Little Tiger started barking.
"Brother, brother, I found one too."
Ye Cheng could only run over with the net in hand.
"Acheng, over here."
"Brother, over here."
The two stood on either side of him, shouting back and forth. In the end, Ye Cheng felt that he was the one who was most tired.
He tilted his head back, holding the net high. Damn it, I should have climbed instead.
The most despicable one was Xiao Hu. Seeing that Ye Cheng was too busy, he deliberately sat on the ladder and started eating sunflower seeds, making sarcastic remarks.
"Brother, your stamina isn't good either. You got tired after only lifting it for a short while. This won't do."
"Get lost, you little brat, you don't even have a wife, what do you know about being able to get an erection?"
Ye Cheng cursed and held up his aching hand to Xiao Hu's side. Xiao Hu found three lamps this time and was very proud of himself.
The two were very efficient; in just over an hour, they had basically found all the middle-level staff.
There's still a section at the top of the cave, but it's a bit dangerous. The ladder is quite steep, so to be on the safe side, we can only use one ladder.
Xiao Hu climbed the ladder, while Ye Guowei stood on it from below, and the two took turns.
By noon, the picking was basically finished, and the three of them sat down to count their harvest for the day.
Last time I got more than 50 lamps, and this time I got more than 80, a good harvest.
Everyone was exhausted after finishing, so they sat on the ground and ate some dry food.
"Ah Cheng, now that we've finished the bird's nest, what's next?" Ye Guowei asked, munching on a steamed bun. "We still have an afternoon to go. It would be a waste to go back now after spending several hundred on renting a boat."
Ye Cheng originally wanted to go back, but then he thought about it and realized that going back now would only benefit Wang Defa.
"Brother, how about we go to the beach and dig a couple of puddles? It's something we can do on the side anyway," Xiao Hu suggested.
That's a good suggestion. Last time, Xiao Hu and I were able to do it, and now that our older brother is here, the three of us will definitely be more efficient.
Ye Cheng is increasingly feeling that he should buy a boat and bring a water pump or something, so he won't need to use buckets to drain water himself.
You can also put two ladders up without any restraint and do whatever you want.
Moreover, it's a bit difficult to go beachcombing now because there are too many people. The last few times I've gone beachcombing, I've been going by boat with Xiaohu. Buying a boat seems like a good idea.
Let's not think about these things for now. The three of them finished their meal and then carefully packed up the bird's nest.
Ye Cheng brought a waterproof box with him this time, which looked like the kind of box used for deliveries in gangster movies. It looked quite high-end.
Returning to the beach, Ye Cheng discovered that the giant sea turtle was nowhere to be found.
He called out twice, but there was no response; he guessed it had gone back into the sea.
Although he had known this would be the outcome, Ye Cheng still felt a little lost when he actually left.
The three walked along the beach to the other side, where there were large reefs. They had dug a water pit here last time.
