Chapter 739 - Chapter 739: The First Crab
“You have to be careful not to get caught by the crabs.” Shane looked at Sharon and Dan, who were standing beside him, with a solemn expression. This was the first time he had taught others how to catch crabs since he was young.
He wanted to tell the two of them the techniques and methods to catch crabs, but he didn’t know where to start.
“Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.” After saying that, he jogged over to the shallow waters and carefully observed the sea under the morning light.
Finally, he saw the crab’s two exposed crab claws beside a rock, so he gently flipped open the rock. The crab immediately sensed it and hurriedly crawled into the sand. Shane was quick to catch the crab and walked back to Sharon and Dan.
“Look, in order to avoid being pinched by the crab’s pincers, you can hold its two pincers and pinch its butt at the same time.” As he spoke, he placed the crab on the beach and demonstrated to the two of them.
“This way, we can avoid being injured by its pincers. If you feel uncomfortable like this, you can also grab its two hind legs. This way, it will be at your mercy. The pincers can’t reach our hands, so don’t worry. You can also directly pinch the joints of the crab pincers. You have to pinch them at the same time, but this is relatively difficult. It’s better not to try.”
[Shane’s description is too detailed. After hearing it, I feel that I can defeat the crab.]
[He’s so gentle and patient.]
[That’s right. Her words are neither fast nor slow, and they are pleasant to the ears. As someone who had woken up early to work, my heart has been comforted.]
[I woke up early to work too. Fortunately, there’s still this show for me to watch. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to suppress my anger from waking up early.]
[Seeing that they woke up as early as you, are you feeling better?]
[No, it’s that all of you are like me.]
Sharon memorized the technique Shane had mentioned and learned from him to patiently search for traces of crabs in the water.
In the beginning, although she remembered Shane’s words and firmly believed that the crab’s pincers wouldn’t bite her, every time her hand touched the crab, she would subconsciously retract it. After a few attempts, she finally caught her first crab.
“I caught it!” Sharon raised the crab excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Seeing this, Melinda, who was at the side, quickly took the bucket she had just picked up and washed it clean and asked Sharon to put the crab in it.
[Sharon is too cute when she retracts her hand in fear.]
[That’s right. She’s clearly scared to death, but she still tries her best. Such a person is too charming.]
[Some people should learn something. This is the self-awareness of participating in a show like Man vs. Wild. It’s not right to stand at the side and do nothing just because they are afraid.]
[I didn’t expect Sister Sharon to have such a childish side. It’s rare to see her smile so freely.]
[Nature can indeed relax the body and mind.]
[Sharon, who has such a good personality, is actually married. My heart aches.]
After Sharon had her first experience, it wasn’t difficult for her to catch it later. Moreover, the more she caught, the more excited she became. Not long after, the three of them filled half of the bucket Melinda had picked up. At this moment, the sky was already completely bright, and the seawater wasn’t as cold as before.
“This should be enough for us to eat in the morning. Let’s go back and make breakfast first, in case the production team issues a mission later.” Looking at the spoils of war in the bucket, everyone was very happy.
“Aren’t you looking for supplies? It was dark just now, and Melissa and I only found two buckets. Now that the sky has brightened up, do you want to take a look again?” Melinda was a little embarrassed. She was in charge of searching for supplies, but she only found two buckets.
Sharon glanced around when she heard this. There were many plastic bags and other trash on the coast, and there were very few that were really useful. She probably couldn’t find anything useful.
Hence, she shook her head. “There’s no need to look. It doesn’t seem like there is anything that is of any use. It’s already very good that you managed to find two buckets. Think about the supplies that we were originally lacking. Isn’t it good to have two more buckets now? This way, we can go to the stream during the day to fill the buckets for us to use at any time. We don’t have to walk so far all the time.”
Sharon could feel the apology in Melinda’s tone, so she comforted her..
