Chapter 330
"There's no rush to catch fish. Our mission today is not to catch fish."
"My dad told me about this island before. I heard there are bird's nests here. Let's go and have a look."
Shen Fei smiled and said a few words to Huang Zhanpeng and Shen Wentao, then controlled the direction of the fishing boat and drove around the sea for a while.
After about 20 minutes, they hadn't circled the island yet, but some places in front of them that looked like rift valleys attracted the attention of the three.
As their fishing boat approached, many seabirds were frightened and flew out of this place in the rift valley.
Shen Fei saw clearly that among these seabirds, 70% to 80% were cormorants, wild cormorants!
It was estimated that there should be dozens or hundreds of them.
If he could catch all of this group of cormorants in one net and tie them all up...
The benefits that could be generated would be very large.
At this time, Huang Zhanpeng found bird's nests on the rock walls on both sides of the rift. He pointed at the rock walls and said to Shen Fei:
"Brother Fei, could those white ones be bird's nests?"
Hearing this, Shen Wentao also turned his head to look. He had no specific concept of bird's nests, but he was still a little shocked to see the dense white bird's nests on both sides of the rock wall.
"So many! Could they all be bird's nests?"
Shen Fei looked up, smiled, nodded and said:
"Yes! Those are bird's nests!"
"Let's dock the fishing boat first, and then study how to collect these bird's nests."
All bird's nests? !
Hearing Shen Fei's affirmative answer, Huang Zhanpeng opened his mouth and was a little stunned.
Although he had never eaten bird's nests, he had heard people say that this thing is a tonic and very expensive!
And here, there are so many bird's nests, densely distributed on the rock wall... This is fucking rich!
Shen Wentao was also excited. His knowledge of bird's nests was similar to Huang Zhanpeng's. He also felt that they were going to make a fortune this time!
Soon Shen Fei moored the fishing boat against the reef.
After parking the fishing boat, Shen Fei stared at the rift in front of him.
Nature is really amazing. This rift is very realistic. There was originally a big stone, and then one day, it was split into two pieces by a knife.
The rock walls on both sides of the rift looked rough, but they were like walls, showing a vertical 70°-90° section. If people wanted to stand on it, it would be very dangerous.
The bottom of the rock wall was submerged by sea water. Even if Shen Fei and his team wanted to climb up from the bottom of the rock wall, there was actually no good foothold. At most, they could drive the fishing boat to the bottom of the rock wall and then climb directly from the fishing boat to the rock wall.
But these two rock walls with an angle of nearly 90 degrees look very difficult to climb.
"Brother Fei, how about you drive the fishing boat to the front, under that rock wall, and I will try to climb up directly?"
Seeing this difficulty, Huang Zhanpeng, who was originally full of confidence, was not so confident now. He only said to give it a try, and did not pat his chest and promise like before.
Shen Fei shook his head and said:
"No, it's too dangerous, and if you climb up directly, there is no safety guarantee. If your hands and feet slip, it will be terrible."
"Let's go to the island first and wait and see if there is a chance to fall down from the island. I happened to bring a rope."
The rope he brought was for safety considerations.
It is definitely not possible to climb up from the bottom of the rock wall without protection. Those bird's nests, even the short ones, are six or seven meters away from the sea surface, and the high ones are even dozens of meters.
If Huang Zhanpeng climbed to a height of more than ten or twenty meters and something happened suddenly, it would be a big problem. Shen Fei already has six children, and he doesn't want to help him raise five more...
Let's go to the island first.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wentao and Huang Zhanpeng had no objection, took ropes and other tools, and went to the island!
The three of them took their things, stepped on the reef next to the fishing boat, and took a few steps to land on the island.
As soon as they landed on the island, Shen Wentao said in surprise:
"No one has ever been to this place! Look, there are so many snails, but no one comes to pick them up."
"There are also stone crabs here, damn, two blue crabs stacked together! They are stacked directly on the reef!"
"Wow, this place is simply amazing, it's simply a place to catch fish!"
While talking, Shen Wentao had caught two blue crabs, two stone crabs, and picked up more than a dozen snails.
In recent years, he has also often caught fish in the sea, but the places where he caught fish are all seas in the village that have been caught thousands of times by everyone, and the harvest has never been much.
Seeing the seafood resources here, Shen Wentao was really excited and almost forgot what they were doing on Shanghai Island.
Shen Fei and HuangZhanpeng also noticed the rich resources on this island.
This place should have been a long time since anyone came. It is indeed rich in resources. Snails, crabs, shrimps, and shells can be seen everywhere. It should be possible to make a fortune by fishing here.
However, there is a more important task today. Shen Fei said:
"Let's go up first and find a suitable place to collect bird's nests.
After collecting bird's nests, if we have time, we will go fishing again, or wait until next time."
"Oh, yes, let's collect bird's nests first!"
Shen Wentao also knew that bird's nests were more precious and valuable. There was no rush to fish, anyway, no one else came to this island at present.
As he said, he put the crabs and snails he had just caught into a net bag and found a puddle to put them down.
Then, he followed Shen Fei and Huang Zhanpeng to the top of the rift valley.
This island is really big. After the three of them got on the island, they didn't go anywhere else. They just stared at the top of the rift and walked. It took more than half an hour to climb to the top of the rift.
"This... is a bit high!"
Standing at the top of the rift and looking down, Shen Wentao's legs trembled a little. He was really afraid of heights.
Moreover, this place is indeed high. Shen Fei estimated that the top position should be 50 to 60 meters away from the sea surface below, which is almost equivalent to the height of the 20th floor.
"San'er, you are afraid of heights, don't go too far outside."
Shen Fei reminded Shen Wentao and then began to observe the situation next to him.
This position above the rift is also rocky. There is no grass or trees on it. It is bare.
After looking for a while, Shen Fei chose another big rock farther away. This big rock is very heavy and can't be pushed at all.
Shen Fei took out the prepared thick rope and tied it to the big rock.
After tying it, he tried to pull the rope, but the big rock still didn't move.
"It will definitely be no problem if it can support one or two people."
"Zhanpeng, do you dare to go down from this height?"
Shen Fei turned to Huang Zhanpeng and asked.
With the rope he prepared, there was a little bit of safety guarantee, but after all, it was dozens of meters high, which was quite challenging.
