Chapter 331
Huang Zhanpeng stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down.
At a height of dozens of meters, although his legs did not tremble like Shen Wentao, he also felt a lot of pressure.
"This... Brother Fei, I'm not sure."
Although Huang Zhanpeng's nickname is Huang Cannon, he usually likes to brag, but at this time... he should stop bragging, he is really unsure.
Seeing Huang Zhanpeng like this, Shen Fei smiled and said:
"At this height, even if you say you are sure, I dare not let you go down."
"This is too high and too dangerous. Let's climb up from the bottom and collect the bird's nest below first."
Shen Fei asked the two to make way. He carried two bundles of ropes that had been tied to the stone at one end to the edge of the cliff,
Find two relatively smooth and less easily worn places, and threw down two bundles of thick ropes respectively.
Looking down from above, you can see that the two bundles of ropes are very long, and they can reach the sea level below directly.
Seeing this, Shen Wentao asked, "Dad, do you mean that we take these two ropes from the bottom and climb up?"
Shen Fei nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Four or five meters below the sea level, there are already bird's nests, and the higher ones are only seven or eight meters, about ten meters, and there are already a lot of bird's nests in those places."
"If we can collect all the shorter bird's nests today, it will be very good. We will find a way to collect higher places later."
When Shen Fei came to the top of the cliff, he knew that it was basically impossible to collect all the bird's nests in one trip this time.
It's too high. The three of them are not professional rock climbers, so they really can't collect it!
It's better to be honest and collect the ones at the bottom first.
At a height of four or five meters to six or seven meters above sea level, with the assistance of two ropes, it is not difficult and safe.
As for higher ones, we will find a way next time.
After hearing what Shen Fei said, Shen Wentao and Huang Zhanpeng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were not going down from the cliff of 50 or 60 meters, but climbing up from the bottom, and they were only going to collect the area below 10 meters below, which reduced the difficulty by more than 90%!
Shen Wentao felt that it was not difficult at this moment.
Huang Zhanpeng was even more confident.
Before he came up just now, he had considered climbing up from the bottom, and now with two more ropes as an aid, it would be even easier.
After putting the two ropes in place, Shen Fei took out two bird nets and asked Huang Zhanpeng and Shen Wentao to help him pull the bird nets open and put them on the top of the cliff to see if they could catch one or two cormorants?
It was very simple to put the bird nets open, and then find a place to tie the four corners of the fixed nets, and wait for the birds to fall into the trap.
Generally speaking, if no bait is placed, the success rate is quite low.
Most of those who make bird nets are farmers, to prevent birds from coming to grab food and eat fish fry.
Shen Fei just found a place where birds often pass by, pulled out two bird nets and put them down. It mainly depends on luck. If he is lucky, he may be able to catch a few.
Throwing down the rope and making the bird net, the three returned to the fishing boat below.
This island is quite large, and there are still many trees and vegetation on it. Shen Fei is not sure whether there are wild animals on it, so he asked the white-tailed sea eagle to go to the place where he tied the rope to guard it.
If there are really wild animals or something, it can also remind him to prevent accidents.
......
When the fishing boat drove to the edge of the cliff, Huang Zhanpeng pulled the rope hanging from above and said with a smile:
"No problem, it's too easy to climb up with these two ropes."
As he said that, he was ready to start climbing up.
"Wait."
Shen Fei stopped him and told him to tie one end of the rope around himself to prevent him from falling into the sea when climbing.
After giving instructions, Shen Fei tied a rope around himself and asked Shen Wentao to watch him on the fishing boat while he and Huang Zhanpeng climbed up together.
Although Shen Fei's climbing skills were average, his requirements were not high. He only needed to find the bird's nests in the areas of 1.45 meters, 6.7 meters below. His climbing speed was not much slower than Huang Zhanpeng.
Seeing that Shen Fei had also climbed up, Huang Zhanpeng, who claimed to have great climbing skills, also became serious. He climbed directly to the area of 7 or 8 meters at the beginning and started to collect bird's nests, leaving some areas below for Shen Fei to collect.
Shen Fei did not argue with him about this. Anyway, he would collect them first if there was any to collect.
The way to collect bird's nests is very simple. Spray the bird's nest with a spray bottle to make it wet and soft, then simply pick it up with your hands and put it in a backpack or net bag.
Shen Fei and Huang Zhanpeng used two thick ropes to collectAfter picking for a whole morning,
It was noon, Huang Zhanpeng was a little exhausted, so he went down the cliff and returned to the boat first.
After a while, Shen Fei saw that there was no bird's nest in the six or seven meter area, so he also went down the cliff and returned to the fishing boat.
"Dad, I fished here for a long time, but didn't catch anything good, so I caught three stone nine-fish. I cooked a pot with the blue crabs and snails I picked up on the island before."
Shen Wentao pointed to the pot of seafood stew he had just prepared, and called Shen Fei to come over to eat.
Shen Fei nodded, put down his tools, and went to eat the pot of seafood stew with Huang Zhanpeng and Shen Wentao.
There was really not much, just a little bit of what Shen Wentao had caught on the beach before, plus three small stone nine-fish, that was it.
After eating the whole pot, the three of them were not full.
"Isn't there a fishing net on the boat? Take it out and set up a net. Let's get something to eat first. This is really not enough."
Today, Shen Fei was busy collecting bird's nests on the rock wall and had no time to bait Shen Wentao to catch big fish. It was normal for Shen Wentao to catch three stone nine-gongs in the morning by his own luck.
At this moment, Shen Fei had no other piglets except the sea eagle on the top of the cliff, so he might as well set up a sticky net and try his luck.
"Okay, I'll get it now." Shen Wentao agreed and ran to the cabin to get the fishing net.
He had been wanting to use the fishing net for a long time because he couldn't catch any fish in the morning. However, at that time, he had to meet Shen Fei and Huang Zhanpeng below, and the fishing boat couldn't leave, so he didn't set it up.
Now it can finally be set up, it must be set up!
Soon, Shen Wentao took out the fishing net, and Shen Fei controlled the fishing boat and set the fishing net down near this place.
After putting out the fishing net, the three began to discuss the afternoon plan.
Huang Zhanpeng said:
"At this height of about ten meters, we should be able to collect thirty or fifty bird's nests. We can still collect more if we go up. I don't know how long it has been since anyone came to collect bird's nests on these two cliffs. It feels like there are so many densely packed ones."
The two of them just roughly estimated that they had already picked about two hundred bird's nests this morning.
And this is only one of the two cliffs, and it is only the relatively short one. The higher one has not started to be collected yet. Now, it is estimated that about one-tenth of the two cliffs have been collected.
