HCB Chapter 148 Catching Coconut Crabs
Chapter 148 Catching Coconut Crabs
"Wow! Three groups of three, treasure hunting together, pheasant hunting together, and eating together. It feels so warm and harmonious."
“It feels like no matter who you are, as long as you are with Fatty, you can instantly find a sense of belonging, as if the whole world becomes soft and warm. This is Fatty’s personal charm.”
"The fat girl's smile is so healing. Every time I see her smile, my mood gets better!"
"This kind of team atmosphere is so wonderful. Fatty is simply the soul of the team!"
"The kindness and tolerance of the fat girl make people want to get close to her. She is really a treasure girl!"
"Seeing them treasure hunting, hunting, and eating together, that kind of tacit understanding and warmth is exactly the kind of friendship I long for!"
"Fatty, she is always the magical person who can mobilize the atmosphere and make the team cohesive. I like Fatty so much."
"That's right, Fatty is like the sunshine of the group. No matter it's cloudy or rainy, she can always light up the hearts of her teammates and put a smile on everyone's face."
"What is most touching is that Pangniu never seeks to be competitive, she is always so tolerant and understanding of everyone. No matter who encounters a problem or is in a bad mood, Pangniu is always the first to notice and silently gives support and encouragement. She interprets what true team spirit is with her actions - not everyone has to be the best, but everyone can feel that they are indispensable. This feeling of being needed makes the strength of the team even more indestructible."
"So, where there are fat girls, there are laughter and warmth, and there are endless possibilities."
The audience in the live broadcast room saw the heartwarming interaction between Li Yinsheng, Cheng Yi and Reba, and left messages on the barrage.
The live broadcast room was filled with harmony and warmth. The audience not only enjoyed this visual and spiritual feast, but also drew strength and courage from it.
…….
"Oh no, there's still one thing we haven't done yet?" At this time, Reba thought of something and quickly threw the stick in her hand into the fire.
“Catch coconut crabs.”
“Catch coconut crabs.”
Reba and Li Yinsheng met each other, and both of them smiled widely and said in unison.
"Fatty found a nest of coconut crabs over there. She put some bait next to the cave. We plan to catch coconut crabs tonight." Reba explained after seeing Cheng Yi's confused face.
"Take your backpack and flashlight, we're off." Li Yinsheng said as he quickly pulled out his backpack, took out the food first, and then took the bow and arrow just in case.
Reba quickly followed, stuffing two more long-sleeved clothes into her backpack to protect herself from the chill brought by the night sea breeze.
After the three of them gathered, Li Yinsheng took the lead, the beam of his flashlight drawing trails of light in the night.
The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the salty smell of the sea water and the unique freshness of the night, making people feel relaxed and happy.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination. The bait left by the fat girl was indeed placed at the entrance of the cave. The tempting aroma drifted in the air, attracting several small crabs to come out and investigate. But their target, the big coconut crab, had not yet appeared.
"Don't worry, coconut crabs are nocturnal animals, and now is the time when they are active." Li Yinsheng lowered his voice and asked everyone to be patient. So the three of them quietly waited around the cave, occasionally sweeping the beam of the flashlight, but trying not to make too much noise.
Finally, a rustling sound came from the depths of the cave, and then a huge coconut crab slowly crawled out. It was covered with a hard shell, and its two large claws were waving in the air, looking majestic.
Reba and Li Yinsheng looked at each other and acted quickly. They walked forward, grabbed the coconut crab, and tied it up with vines.
As the night progressed, more and more coconut crabs came, attracted by the scent of coconut meat. I don’t know if the coconut crabs in this place have never been caught by humans or if they have no natural enemies, but soon huge coconut crabs appeared one after another.
From three or four pounds each to large coconut crabs weighing seven or eight pounds, they either act alone or in groups of two or three, poking their heads out of the darkness one by one, full of curiosity and caution about the surrounding environment.
But attracted by the scent of coconut meat, it slowly crawled out of the cave.
Li Yinsheng's eyes sparkled with excitement. She whispered to Reba and Cheng Yi, "It looks like our harvest today will be quite impressive. We have to be careful when catching them. The claws of these big guys are no joke."
Reba nodded, but she was more looking forward to the delicious food that was about to arrive.
Coconut crabs crawl very slowly. As long as they are a little distance out of the cave, Li Yinsheng and the other two will quickly and tacitly divide the work and cooperate with each other.
Li Yinsheng was responsible for catching coconut crabs, Reba was responsible for tying them up with vines, and Cheng Yi held a sharpened wooden stick. He used the stick flexibly to tap the ground, making a slight sound, thereby driving and guiding the coconut crabs to move towards Fatty, while keeping a safe distance to prevent accidental injury by their large claws.
As the night deepened, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness, but it could not blow away the enthusiasm and anticipation in their hearts.
As time went by, a mountain of coconut crabs had piled up beside the three people. Some of them curled up in a ball, while others struggled to escape, but it was no use. Reba looked at the spoils in front of her with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that we can have a feast tomorrow. These coconut crabs are not only delicious, but also have high nutritional value. They are real island delicacies."
Fatty and Cheng Yi also smiled at each other, their faces filled with satisfaction and joy.
This experience not only allowed them to enjoy delicious food, but also enhanced their friendship as they faced challenges together.
In this natural place that has not been overly disturbed by humans, they seem to have returned to the purest and most primitive state of existence, experiencing the beauty and joy of living in harmony with nature.
"We've caught so many, we can't eat them all, right?" Cheng Yi looked at the mountain of coconut crabs in front of him. He felt the joy of the harvest, but also some worries.
He looked up at Reba, a questioning gleam in his eyes.
Hearing this, Reba gently swept her eyes over the "fruits of victory", smiled lightly, and said: "Indeed, we can't eat all of these coconut crabs.
But can’t we take some food back to camp?”
Cheng Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded approvingly: "Good idea! Reba, you are the best one.
Our camp is short of food, and we can bring back as much as we can. Or we can catch some more."
"It's too late today. I'll come again tomorrow." Li Yinsheng looked at the sky. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
