Lantau Island City, located in a coastal city of China 。At six in the morning, Ye Yuan was wide awake, staring blankly out the window. 。He has been in this city for almost five years. He went to university here and stayed after graduation. 。Ye Yuan's university was the best school in Lan Dao City, Lan Dao Ocean University, majoring in Marine Science.Because of his major, it was difficult to find a job after graduation. 。Growing up in a fishing village, the water was excellent. I also professionally learned to scuba dive in school. 。The diving instructor introduced me to a job cleaning up an underwater amusement park. 。Don't let the job description fool you, but the boss offers a basic salary of six thousand dollars a month. 。Six thousand may not be a high salary in a big city, but for a recent graduate, it's already quite good. Most importantly, it provides accommodation here. 。Looking out the window at the sea, I was reminded of what my mother said on the phone last night. 。Ye Yuan's home is on an island over 200 kilometers from Lan Dao City. 。In recent years, overfishing has depleted nearshore fisheries resources, causing many young fishermen to abandon their livelihoods and seek work in large and medium-sized cities. Only middle-aged and elderly people remain in their families. 。Due to such circumstances, the fishing village where Yuanjia lives has been decided by the local county government to relocate. After the relocation, the island will be open for bidding to the public. 。Yesterday, Ye Mu called Ye Yuan because of the move. 。I want to go back to my college days, after all, I was a student then. 。Older generations still tend to trust intellectuals more. 。Ye Yuan's worry stemmed from this: the relocation was scheduled to begin during the fishing ban period, but there were still over two months until then. However, as the local government wanted to finalize the matter as quickly as possible, they had started signing pre-relocation contracts in recent days. Families who could sign the relocation agreement this month would receive a compensation fee. 。Going back is easy, but what about signing the agreement? Although there's a two-month buffer period, housing issues and some other matters aren't things that can be settled in just a few days. 。Because the marine amusement park he was in was relatively small and didn't have many visitors, cleaning up the seabed trash didn't require too many people. 。The entire playground was only Ye Yuan and a Zhao Ge who was a few years older than him. 。Zhao Ge's family is also from Lan Dao village. Because of his age, his family arranged a marriage for him. Zhao Ge took a week off to go home. 。Currently, it can be said that all the playgrounds' underwater areas are cleaned by Ye Yuan alone. Don't think that cleaning up underwater trash is an easy task, it's completely different from cleaning on land. 。If I also took leave to go home, would the amusement park agree? Many people don't quite understand what ocean cleanup is. Ocean cleanup mainly involves retrieving items accidentally dropped into the sea by tourists and garbage thrown into the ocean by tourists. Of course, it's very difficult to achieve precise retrieval. 。For example, last time a tourist accidentally dropped a ring, Ye Yuan and Zhao Ge spent three days searching the area where it fell but couldn't find it. 。Later, the tourist did not have time to wait and left. As a result, after half a month, Zhao Ge found the ring one kilometer away from where it was dropped, and then sent it by mail. 。This was just one of many times they salvaged things. Ye Yuan had been working here for almost ten months, and the number of phones, cameras, DV cameras, selfie sticks they'd pulled up was countless. 。Since these things cannot be used again after getting wet, not many tourists ask to salvage them. 。Some valuable jewelry still needs to be salvaged, and it's not that everything can be salvaged. After all, the seabed is not like land. 。I don't want to think about these things for now. If it's a big deal, I won't do it. I can't let my parents worry either. 。Look, it's almost seven o'clock. After Ye Yuan got up and washed, he went to the staff canteen at the amusement park for a quick breakfast. 。I wanted to talk to the manager, but he's not here. I'll have to wait until evening. 。Arriving at the seaside and changing into a diving suit, because yesterday in Zone 4, a tourist accidentally dropped a diamond bracelet while taking selfies on a yacht. Today Ye Yuan is going to clean up the seabed garbage in Zone 4 and help the tourist find the bracelet. 。We arrived at the 4th sea area in a speedboat, put on our diving gear, and back-flipped into the sea. 。Area Four is the deepest part of the entire marine amusement park, reaching about thirty meters at its deepest point. 。Under the sea, watching the fifty small fish swimming at the edge, Ye Yuan's heart felt much better. Perhaps it was because he grew up in a fishing village, Ye Yuan had a deep 。As Ye Yuan was carefully observing the seabed, he noticed a red crab passing by. Seeing crabs on the seafloor was commonplace, but the size of this particular crab caught Ye Yuan's attention. 。The red crab is very different from other crabs in appearance, so it's easy to distinguish. Its shell is
and has yellow markings. Its two pincers are 。A common red crab is about the size of a human palm, but this one was twice that size. Most importantly, the red crab's claws were still clutching a round stone bead. 。Ye Yuan slowly walked towards it, using the iron in his hand to gently tap the large red crab. He thought the red crab would throw away the stone bead and run away, but unexpectedly, the red crab sped up, but the stone bead on its crab claw didn't show any intention of being thrown away. 。Children who grow up by the sea generally dislike eating red crabs. 。Because its crab roe is not that much, and the quality isn't very good either, this is also why Ye Yuan didn't prepare to catch it right away. 。But seeing the red crab holding onto the stone bead, Ye Yuan's interest was also piqued. He followed behind the red crab, constantly tapping it, until finally, the red crab had no choice but to let go of its claws. 。Ye Yuan picked up a stone bead dropped by a red crab in the sea sand. Because the underwater line wasn't very good, Ye Yuan didn't look closely and directly put the stone bead into the net pouch on his waist, continuing his work. 。In a blink of an eye, I had been underwater for thirty minutes. It was time to go up and rest. During this time, Ye Yuan found three cell phones at the bottom of the sea. 。and some metal cans 。These metal cans are the packaging for some premium drinks, and some tourists just throw them into the sea. 。Back on the speedboat, I removed my oxygen tank and took big gulps of bottled water from the one stored onboard. 。After a short rest, he took out the stone beads he had found on the seabed. 。Jade beads have a cool feeling, which is very comfortable. 。But just then, a power he couldn't describe seemed to be drawing something from within him. He felt an unprecedented weariness, and then everything went black. He knew nothing more. 。At the very last moment when Ye Yuan lost consciousness, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his ear: "Host binding complete" |
