Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

"Yu Baoer, you tell us how to do it, and we will listen to you." Li Erlang was full of fighting spirit at this time, and he couldn't wait to start working and make a lot of money.

"Let's first disassemble the whale skeleton, especially the whale teeth, which must be preserved intact, and then transport them all to the cave."

There hasn't been much physical work at home recently, and there isn't much work that needs men to do. Only Old Mrs. Cai is busy leading her two daughters-in-law to make clothes and quilts.

Li Laoer and Li Laosan are now being taken care of by Li Laohan and Li Laoda. Since the family has money, they have been able to get their medicine and food, and their health has almost recovered.

Especially Li Laosan, because he is young, his health recovered quickly and he can already walk.

These past few days, he had been secretly observing Li Yuer and the others. He discovered that they were furtively tinkering with something.

He was so curious that his heart was itching. They must be plotting something big, but this thing didn't include him. He felt depressed when he thought about it.

He became more and more curious about Li Yuer, who had become eccentric, full of ideas, and always lucky after having his brain damaged.

Just now, through the crack in the door, he saw them carrying their loads and baskets and going out together. Judging from the direction they were heading north.

What's in the north on such a cold day? Hasn't all the whale meat been mined? Why are people still going there?

There's something strange! There's something strange!

He was so curious that he couldn't help but get up, dragging his aching body and slowly following.

I saw that a few people were heading towards the north shore. The north shore is where the golden sand beach is located. Weren’t all the whales sold out?

Did she find something good again? No way? Could she always be so lucky?

He was not strong enough to climb over Eagle's Beak Cape, so he hid behind a reef in the leeward direction and kept watch.

Soon, several people came back, carrying a bunch of white things on their shoulders, which were angular and looked like big branches.

When he got closer, he looked carefully and saw some huge bones!

He had already guessed that it was a whale bone.

What do they want those things for?

He followed them quietly, and became even more curious when he saw that Li Yuer and the others did not go home but went to the cave in Qiantan.

"Wow, there's a secret base. It has already developed into a gang." Li Laosan sighed, "You are a bunch of conscienceless ungrateful wolves. I treated you so well in the past, but you actually excluded me!"

At this time, he thought of his gang again, and how miserable they were.

When he gets better, he will go back to town to see his brothers. They must be worried sick since he has been in trouble for so long. I wonder if they are doing well without him these days?

The shabby land temple in the north of the city is not warm at all. Will they catch a cold?

He has offended that group of evil guys, but he won’t implicate his brothers, right?

Thinking of that group of villains, Li Laosan's mood suddenly became more and more gloomy, and his fists clenched involuntarily until they made a crackling sound.

In the cave, Li Yuer took out the whale bones from the basket and placed them on the flatter reef.

"Don't put it on the ground. The sea water will easily corrode the bones."

"What is erosion?" Li Erlang asked casually, but he nimbly placed the bones on the reef.

Li Yuer slapped his head, cursed himself, and said, "It means rotten."

Li Meier said: "Yes, sea water will easily rot things, so they can't be placed on the ground."

Li Dalang said, "There are still a lot of bones left over at Jinshatan. It will take us half a day to pick them. If we are quick, we can finish picking them before lunch."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out with the load on his shoulder. "Mei'er, Yu'er, you guys are not strong enough, so just put it here, Erlang and I will carry it."

Li Yuer and Li Meier looked at each other and said with a smile, "Brother, you are so nice."

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. This cousin is a responsible person. It was the right decision to recruit him into the team. Who doesn't like someone who works hard and doesn't complain?

Seeing his sister being so close to his eldest cousin, Li Erlang felt a little jealous and said quickly, "Yes, Yu Baoer, Meier, you guys take a rest, we men will do the picking."

"Well, thank you, brother."

Li Erlang carried his load and walked away with satisfaction.

Seeing Dalang and Erlang coming out, Li Laosan quickly hid behind the reef. After the people went far away, he poked his head into the cave.

Li Yuer plans to use whale bones to make bone carvings.

Later, known whales with teeth include sperm whales and narwhals. Only male narwhals have teeth, which are shaped like long, pointed conch shells.

According to legend, narwhals break through the ice with their horns, but scientific research shows that narwhals break through the ice with the fat on their heads, not their teeth.

The teeth of an adult narwhal can be up to 3 meters long and are mistaken for horns. Legend has it that the powder made from the teeth of a narwhal can cure all diseases, so they are hunted on a large scale. People kill the whales and use their teeth to make wine glasses and tableware. There was even a queen who spent taels of gold to buy a whale tooth to make an ornament.

The sperm whale's teeth are not that big, but they are not small either. They are more than one meter long, milky white, and emit a faint pearly luster. They are very elegant and majestic.

In his previous life, there was a world-class billionaire who loved collecting rare treasures. He owned a luxurious cruise ship with a bar. One of the chairs that belonged exclusively to the billionaire was decorated with whale teeth.

In the morning, several people had taken the whale bones into the secret cave and piled them up like a small mountain.

At noon, there was a big pot of pork stewed with white pine on the dinner table. There was not much pork, but the stew was oily and rich. For the Li family, it was even more sumptuous than previous Chinese New Year celebrations.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

A strange cry was heard from outside the boat, and the Li family put down their chopsticks.

Old Mrs. Cai was puzzled: "Da Lang, go out and take a look. Why are the cuckoos out in the middle of winter?"

Old Man Li also frowned: "The cuckoo is announcing death, how unlucky! Go and chase him away for me!"

Li Erlang simply said: "Kill them and eat their meat if you see them!"

Without waiting for Li Dalang to get up, Li Laosan quickly said, "Dalang, I'd better go out and take a look."

Old Mrs. Cai scolded: "You are not well yet, what are you doing outside?"

Li Laosan's face turned strange, and he stood up and walked out: "I'll go to the bathroom."

Old Mrs. Cai said unhappily, "There are too many things to do. Dalang, you should eat your food. He can't sit still. Don't worry about him. Just eat your food."

Li Yuer and Li Meier looked at each other. Li Yuer put down his bowl and said, "I'll go to the bathroom for a while, too."

Without waiting for their reaction, he walked out.

Old Madam Cai said angrily, "It's only a few meals, and you're already making such a fuss. You're showing off."

As soon as Li Laosan came out, he saw a house sparrow hiding behind the ice house and peeking out.

Jia Que'er is one of Li Laosan's little followers, an orphan from the land temple in the north of the city (the land god is also the local mountain god). He is thirteen years old, skinny and small, and looks about ten years old.

He has a pair of lively big eyes and a small mouth. He looks a bit like a lively house sparrow, so his nickname is House Sparrow.

He had been a beggar in the town since he was a child. He was smart, sweet-spoken and good at getting information.

"Third brother, third brother, I'm so glad you're okay!"

As soon as it saw Li Laosan, the house sparrow's eyes immediately became red as if it had found a relative.

"Third brother, you don't know how worried we were about you when you got into trouble. The brothers were planning to secretly rescue you at night, but who knew those villains would act faster and beat you up."

"There were so many of them that we couldn't find any opportunities. Fortunately, we met Grandpa Li and his group."

Li Laosan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's all over. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. One day, when we brothers get the chance, we will definitely make them pay."

Li Laosan saw that Jia Que'er was only wearing a few layers of tattered clothes, and his tattered cotton-padded jacket from last year was gone. He also looked frighteningly thin.

Although Xinpu Town is the most remote town in Haining and life is not rich, the people are relatively simple and honest. The beggars rely on begging and have enough food to eat, but no one starves to death.

There is a shortage of oil and water at the seaside, but there is no shortage of food. There are plenty of seafood, but people can get sick if they eat too much.

Li Laosan asked worriedly, "What happened to you? How did you get into this state? Where are your brothers? Why are you the only one here?"
