1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 282 New Partner at Sea

The wife looked quite far away. About ten meters away, a small black object was floating up and down, drifting slowly on the sea.

Because the distance is quite far, I can't see it clearly, but if I look closely, it seems there is a hole?
It was not known whether the black object was caused by the waves or some other reason, but it drifted towards their wooden boat.

The closer it got to the boat, the faster the thing seemed to drift.

"Why do I feel like it's drifting towards us on purpose?" Chen Xiangbei guessed, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Liang Ziqiang also had the same feeling.

Because he realized that if he was just drifting under the push of the waves, the waves would not be rushing towards his wooden boat...

After a few seconds, they both widened their eyes and suddenly realized.

As the distance got closer, a pair of wet ears appeared behind the black object.

Then there is the slightly round head.

Then, there was a greeting that couldn’t be more familiar: “Woof!”

This guy obviously recognized his boat from a distance, and at the same time he saw Chen Xiangbei sitting on the boat. He swam happily with his front and back feet together and rushed straight to the side of their boat.

"Is it Duobao? When did it develop a hobby of swimming in the sea water?!"

This was the first time that Liang Ziqiang saw Duobao go into the sea, and judging from his appearance, he swam like a fish in water. It was obvious that he was a veteran and definitely a repeat offender.

"You're looking at me? How would I know? This is the first time I've seen it like this, and I don't usually come to the beach!" Chen Xiangbei's expression was a little trembling, "Why don't you pull it onto the boat? If it gets washed away by the waves, you won't be able to find it anywhere!"

Liang Ziqiang was actually also very nervous.

Fortunately, there haven't been strong winds recently, and there haven't been big waves near the coast. Otherwise, Duobao would have really become a "Duobao" and merged with the sea...

He quickly reached out his hand and pulled into the water beside the boat.

Duobao obviously understood what he meant and cooperated, stretching out a paw and handing it to him.

He pulled the dripping wet Duobao onto the boat, and he seemed to find it quite amusing. As he pulled, he placed his other front paw on the side of the boat, grinning as if he was grinning at them.

When he was halfway through pulling it, it happily stuck out its tongue and licked his face. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been licked on the face by the dog...

Liang Ziqiang finally dragged Duobao onto the boat intact, and then he gave him a slap on the backhand, which was quite similar to the way Kuang Haixia usually beat Liang Xiaohai.

Liang Ziqiang felt that this matter posed a huge hidden danger and that it could not be tolerated and must be taught a lesson.

"Now that you've grown into a big dog, do you think you're so great? When the weather gets rough, any wave can sweep you away and carry you to deep water, where you'll be fed to the big fish!"

Liang Ziqiang explained the pros and cons in a stern voice.

Duobao was grinning shamelessly, but after listening to a while, he finally understood what was being said and realized that it was a serious criticism of him.

The dog's face, which had just shed its childishness and taken on the appearance of an adult dog, gradually drooped, and its mouth stopped grinning, as if it had realized its mistake.

"Okay, okay, you are such a fool. It seems as if it really understands you! Duobao is usually very obedient and sensible. Maybe he just thinks swimming is new and fun!"

Seeing him slapping his chest again and scolding Duobao with a stern face, Chen Xiangbei came over to speak up for Duobao.

Duobao turned into a flattering dog in an instant, as if he guessed that the mistress was speaking well of him, and ran to Chen Xiangbei, wagging his tail vigorously.

It turned around twice at her feet, humming softly, and suddenly started to shake.

Wet water droplets on the yellow hair immediately splashed all over Chen Xiangbei.

Chen Xiangbei instinctively protected her belly. Her pretty face froze. She turned away and walked back into the cabin, not wanting to pay any attention to it...

The wooden boat carrying Duobao gradually approached the shore. Liang Ziqiang then discovered that his mother, sister-in-law, Lizhi and Xiaohai were all on the beach not far away.

Lizhi still led the two oystercatchers, who followed closely, and asked them to pick up a small fish or shrimp from the sea from time to time. It turned out that they were all fishing nearby. No wonder Duobao couldn't stay at home and came to the beach to play in the waves.

"Mom, we are all picking clams. When will Duobao go to the sea to swim?" Liang Ziqiang got off the boat and walked up to his mother and asked.

"Look at it. It has been going to the sea to take a bath every day for a long time!" Liang's mother looked at Duobao, who was still wet.

"At first I saw some fish in the water, so I jumped in to catch them. I drowned myself and started screaming stupidly, thinking I was going to drown. But then I realized I wasn't drowning and could swim, so there was no end in sight. I kept running into the water every day!"

It turned out to be like this...

Liang Ziqiang imagined that when the stupid dog fell into the sea for the first time, he thought he was going to die. His expression of fear and despair was really hard to be sympathetic to.

Chen Xiangbei couldn't hold it back, and said to Duobao with a smile: "It's over. All of Dahuang's stupidity has been passed on to it. It must be Dahuang's biological child!"

Duobao lifted his tail proudly.

At this moment, a figure came over carrying a bucket:

"Brother and sister-in-law, Duobao is not just playing in the water, he catches several fish every day! Look at the bucket, he caught this big fish!"

The two men looked into the bucket and saw that there were actually two fish, each weighing about half a pound.

No, the road for harvesting lychees is getting wider and wider now?
No one did much by themselves. There were two oystercatchers to pry oysters and pick shrimps, and catching fish was left to Duobao.

The main style of painting is birds and animals?
"Listen to me, Lizhi. If we encounter big waves, Duobao will be in danger. He will be swept further and further away and won't be able to come back. You know that, right? Also, the dog is in the sea, don't chase after it!"

Liang Ziqiang was really worried now. He was afraid that Duobao would be swept away by the waves. He was even more afraid that Lizhi would jump into the water to chase him in desperation. That would be a real tragedy.

This dog and this girl are both dumber than the other. They really make me worried.

"We won't go fishing when the waves are high," Liang's mother continued, "and we won't bring Duobao to the beach. Lizhi, you too, can only follow me when we go fishing from now on, and you can't run around!"

Liang's mother was probably a little scared when she thought of the scene of Litchi chasing the dog.

"Duobao likes to jump into the water to take a bath every day. I thought, why not just take him on the boat and tie him up with a long rope? No matter how far he swims, I can pull him on board and he won't run away!"

Liang Ziqiang finally thought about it and made a decision.

He originally planned to raise Duobao for use when going out to sea.

The dog's senses were very sharp and subtle. He had seen some water hounds in later shows. Once they became familiar with the scent of certain specific fish in the sea, they could swim in the water to look for traces of fish.

People on the boat cannot see whether there are middle-layer or bottom-layer fish in the water, but dogs can sometimes feel it and inform their owners in their own way.

Of course, Duobao is not a water hound, so he is not sure whether he can play that role to any extent.

You have to try it to know.

Anyway, it seems that Duobao has a keen interest and potential in this area. If Duobao can really play a role, the efficiency of their longline fishing can be improved a little bit!
"You really want Duobao to go into the water to find fish for you? Aren't there sharks, whales and other things in the sea? If you encounter one, wouldn't Duobao just put it in his mouth?!"

"Don't worry, we are not sending it into the deep sea. I have been in the shallow sea for so many years and have never encountered a whale or a shark!" Liang Ziqiang said affirmatively.

Of course, catsharks don’t count.

That thing had already fought with Duobao and was defeated in seconds. In the end, the name "Cat Shark" was reduced to just one word: cat.

Other fierce fish in the shallow sea, such as the swordfish weighing more than ten pounds, are only interested in small fish and usually do not hurt people, so they should not hurt the furry dogs either.

Of course, the danger is not 100% ruled out, but after comparing, Liang Ziqiang feels that the danger level is much lower than if it were to swim aimlessly without a rope on the beach.

As he was speaking, Duobao suddenly jumped into the water, pushed, and bit another goby.

He was so happy that he was swaying like a naughty child, not realizing that his position had been assigned to him in just a few words...
