"Sister-in-law, you've worked really hard."

"Isn't that right? Pick up some more seabird eggs and give them to me later."

Lin Guangyuan curled his lips, forget it, just pretend he didn't say anything.

There was no one who was not discerning when going out to sea today. It went smoothly all the time. Azheng Xiaoxiao and the others were spread out on both sides of the island to work on their own without interfering with each other.

But in the middle of the afternoon, the wind picked up and the waves were strong. They carried on with the work for a while, but later found that it was impossible. The boat was shaking so hard that the waves hit their faces when they closed the net.

Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao Chuan also came over and told them that they could not continue working, so everyone could only regretfully stop the work early.

It didn't affect Father Lin and Mother Lin, and there were also a lot of squids swept in by the big waves. They picked up more squid than yesterday, and there were one sack more of them with shells than yesterday. There were 3 sacks. Mother Lin was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

It's close, and it's already a full harvest even before evening.

The joy of catching the sea is full of rewards.

"Not bad, my mother pried more today than yesterday."

Mother Lin smiled so hard that her eyes crinkled, and she was extremely happy. "I have gained experience today, so I can pry a little faster, and I also dug in advance. There are really too many seabirds, they are so annoying."

Father Lin also straightened up and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you go hunting for squid? Why did you come back suddenly?"

"The wind has picked up and the waves are getting bigger and bigger. We can no longer work and have to go back."

"Ah? So fast?" Mother Lin looked up at the waves on the sea, "It seems to be quite big."

Father Lin also felt that the waves were a bit big just now, but he is not a seaside person and does not understand this. Now that he knows that he has to go back early, he feels it is a pity, but safety comes first

"Then go back early and put all the goods on the boat first." After saying that, he shouted to Lin Guangyuan towards the top of the mountain at the top of his lungs.

Lin Guangyuan's voice also came from the forest as if it were nothing.

He and Lin's father first carried several bags full of shellfish onto the boat while waiting for Lin Guangyuan.

After he finished carrying several full bags, his shoulders turned red. Mother Lin pointed to a bag in the corner, "There is more there..."

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." Lin Guangyuan's excited voice came from far away.

They turned around and saw Lin Guangyuan running out of the forest, walking to the rocks, and throwing a bunch of white animals from top to bottom?

White animals?

Ye Yaodong took a closer look, wasn't this a seabird?

Egret? Gannet? Seagull?

"Damn it! Where did you get so many seabirds?"

Lin Guangyuan carefully climbed down from the reef, handed the bucket to Ye Yaodong, and asked him to help him catch it, and then jumped.

"Because I have a secret weapon!"

He smiled, showing his 12 white teeth, and then took out the slingshot in his pocket.

"Look! I came prepared today!"

Mother Lin also said happily: "We caught so many again."

"again?"

"The sack next to you also has a few in it."

Only then did Ye Yaodong open the sack at hand. Just now he thought it was also a squid.

He was pleasantly surprised when he opened it and found that there were actually several seabirds inside, all of which were quite large.

"The accuracy is pretty good."

Lin Guangyuan said with some pride: "Of course, I will definitely hit the target. I can hit sparrows as small as sparrows, let alone these seabirds."

"Yesterday I found them annoying. I couldn't drive them away. They flew away and then came back. Last night I borrowed a slingshot from A He and asked A Hai and A Jiang to bring the slingshots with them."

"Look, I always pick the big ones, these must be very meaty!"

"Sister-in-law, is seabird meat delicious?"

He swallowed, "I haven't even eaten seabirds!"

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead and said, "You can't hit seagulls."

As for other things, the egret will not be listed as a protected animal until 1989, and other seabirds will not be listed as protected animals until about the same time.

"Why? Are there any seagulls here? I don't even recognize them!"

"There is one, and there is an egret, and the others are gannets. Gannets are relatively clumsy on land."

"Yes, there are some that look silly. Why can't we catch seagulls?"

"Let's go back to the boat. The wind has picked up and the waves are a bit big. Let's go back quickly."

As he spoke, he picked up a bunch of seabirds and put them into a sack together. They were quite heavy, and their feathers were all dirty. One was black and the other was white. They were covered in mud. It was a shame he could drag them back.

Lin Guangyuan followed him and said regretfully as he walked: "It's a pity that I can't drag them away, otherwise I could have shot a few more. After I found that I couldn't drag them away, I went to dig out the seabird's nest. These few are actually

It was just by the way, I saw them flying from the beach to the forest, so I just shot them down."

"Get on the boat first."

Father Ye helped pick up the goods on the ship.

After everything was loaded onto the boat, they headed back. Xiao Azheng's boat was also waiting beside them, and they headed back together.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his shoulders and said to Mother Lin: "I happened to return early today. I went back to take out the goods and pick them out to see if there are any valuable ones, and I can sell them for some money."

"Aren't these shells worth nothing?"

"There are some valuable ones, such as goose barnacles, but I don't think they are. We have been to this island before and haven't seen them, but the larger snails can still be sold for money."

Mother Lin nodded with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't said why you can't fight seagulls yet?" Lin Guangyuan asked again as soon as he got on the boat.

"Seagull, my friend, seagull ~ our good friend ~"

"Your teacher didn't teach you to sing this song?"

Lin Guangyuan blinked, "I think I've heard of it."

"Hmm~" Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, "Let me teach you a lesson today. In addition to eating fish, shrimps, crabs, and shells, seagulls also like to pick up leftovers discarded by people on ships, so they are also called harbor cleaners."

"Seagulls are also the "forecasters" of maritime navigation safety. When sailing on the sea, ships often run aground on rocks or become stranded due to unfamiliarity with the water environment, or shipwrecks occur due to sudden changes in weather. Experienced fishermen know that seagulls often

When they land on shoals, rocks or reefs, they fly in groups and make noisy noises, which is undoubtedly a signal to people to beware of hitting the rocks."

"Oh! Is that so?" Lin Guangyuan seemed to understand.

Father Lin and Mother Lin on the side understood it.

"Also, it has the habit of flying in and out of ports. When you get lost while sailing or there is heavy fog, you can find the port by observing the direction of the seagull's flight."

"Okay, which one is it? Can you take it out and let me see what it looks like? I think they all look similar?"

"What kind of thing? Just like a bird! What else can it be like?"

As Ye Yaodong spoke, he took out the seagull that was seriously injured and dragged half-dead from the bag, "This is the seagull."

"If it flies close to the sea, the weather in the future will be sunny. If they wander along the seaside, the weather will gradually get worse."

"If seagulls leave the water, fly high, and fly in groups from far away from the sea to the seaside, or if groups of seagulls gather on the beach or in the crevices of rocks, it indicates that a storm is coming."

The reason why seagulls can foresee storms is because their skeletons are hollow tube-shaped, without marrow and filled with air.

This is not only convenient for flying, but also looks like a barometer and can predict weather changes in a timely manner.

In addition, the hollow quills on the wings of seagulls are like small barometers, which can sensitively sense changes in air pressure.

Lin Guangyuan scratched his head, "What do I think, they all look similar?"

"You are blind!"

"Huh, I'm not from the beach!"

Not at night, but maybe during the day
