The shark had jet-black eyes. Its body was gray with light brown, its exposed abdomen was pale white, its tail was a standard crescent, and its mouth was open to reveal sharp, triangular teeth, like a chainsaw.
It was about two and a half meters long and was quite large. After falling on the shore, it vomited blood and its two black eyes almost popped out. After wagging its tail a few times, it stopped moving.
Li Du looked at the owner and said, "What's going on? A flying shark? "
When Ah Meow saw such a big fish, its two cat eyes widened and its long tail wagged excitedly. If the door had not been closed, it would have run out.
The boss was horrified. "The storm this time is too strong. This unlucky shark was blown ashore!"
Li Du asked, "Has it happened before?"
"Yes."
Li Du also looked horrified. "It's so dangerous to live by the sea. I thought living by the sea every day would be like spring."
The boss said, "The last time something like this happened was decades ago. At that time, I was still a child. In the past 40 years, the storms have only caught some small fish and prawns at most. No sharks have ever been caught, especially this kind of great white shark."
Li Du saw a shark for the first time and asked, "This is the famous great white shark?"
The owner nodded. "Yes."
Li Du suddenly thought of something. "D * mn, this great white shark was swept up by the storm. Doesn't that mean it usually lives by the sea?"
The owner did not know why he was swearing, so he said, "Yes, great white sharks often appear in shallow waters. What's wrong?"
Li Du said, "I'm here to catch abalone. If there is a great white shark near the sea, is it dangerous?"
The owner said, "Catching abalone has always been very dangerous, but high risk means high reward. What kind of abalone do you catch, young man?"
"Black gold abalone."
The owner suddenly looked envious. "You have a black gold abalone harvesting license?"
Li Du said, "Yes."
The owner suddenly became even more envious.
There was no such thing as a pie in the sky, but a shark fell from the sky, which was very interesting for Li Du.
He took a photo and posted it on his WeChat Moments and Face Book, and soon a bunch of comments appeared:
"Where did this news come from? Sharks can fall from the sky? "
"Old Li photoshopped a good picture. This is a fancy way to show off abroad."
"What the f * ck? Great white shark? There are shark fins, shark fins, hurry up and eat shark fins! "
Unfortunately, Australians did not eat sharks, nor did they eat shark fins. They even forbade hunting and killing sharks.
Li Du did not have any food, so he asked the owner, "Can I eat this fish?"
The boss couldn't bear it and said, "Forget it, I'll provide you with some food. Don't eat shark. Shark meat is very unpalatable, and the government doesn't allow you to catch sharks now."
Li Du said, "But we didn't catch it. It flew up on its own."
The boss shrugged and said, "Yes, but if you eat it, the government can suspect that we caught the shark, so the best way is to let it be placed here."
Breakfast had become Italian seafood noodles. The seafood was very fresh. There were oysters, mussels, and lobsters. Li Du ate very happily.
At night, he was upset. There was a storm outside, and it was raining heavily. He couldn't arrange any activities, so he could only watch TV. Suddenly, the house was pitch-black.
Godzilla said, "Boss, there's a power outage."
Li Du hurriedly went to find the boss, who calmly took out a candle and handed it to him. "It's normal. I'm afraid there will be a city-wide power outage in Melbourne in such stormy weather. It's already very good that our circuit can last a day."
Now, there was no entertainment at all.
However, the dark environment had its advantages. Li Du stored some snacks in the black hole. He could not take them out during the day, because Godzilla knew he had not bought snacks.
Now that it was dark, he could take them out. The boss could not see them eating, so he could explain that he had bought snacks from him.
While eating snacks, he called Sophie, but the phone call was not successful. The signal in Melbourne was poor.
Canberra was also hit by a storm, but it was better than Melbourne, where even big sharks could be swept ashore.
The storm lasted for two days and two nights. When the weather improved and the sea wind was not so strong, Li Du immediately checked out and drove to the city to eat.
The food prepared by the boss was not enough. Godzilla and Big Quinn had big appetites and could not fill their stomachs for the past two days. By the time the storm stopped, both of them were so hungry that their eyes had turned green. Li Du had no choice but to bring them to find food.
With this experience, he bought a lot of ham, sausages, bread, biscuits, chocolate, and other food. The next time they were trapped in a storm, they would not have to go hungry.
After the storm, the ocean began to show its warm side.
The sky in Melbourne was especially clean. The air seemed to have been washed by the rain, with a faint smell of the sea and the fragrance of flowers. It was a very unique smell.
The flowers and plants on the streets had also been washed once. The storm had blown down many trees, but the damage to the small flowers was not serious. The flowers were red and the grass was green, bright red, and green like jade.
The ocean was no longer violent. Now the water rippled slowly, and the golden sun shone on the sea, as if it was plated with a golden glow. It was unusually warm and wonderful.
It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea. Many seagulls chirped and flew close to the sea, landing and flying from time to time, showing the infinite vitality of the ocean.
At the pier, some sailboats and yachts started to move. Taking advantage of the rain, many big fish returned from the deep waters to the shallow waters for oxygen, and fishing enthusiasts started to fish at night.
Li Du drove back to the hotel and saw many people at the door. He went over to take a look. It turned out that these people had been attracted by the shark that had been blown ashore.
A TV station was reporting the news, and the boss seized the opportunity to advertise. He wore a T-shirt with the hotel's name on it and spoke to the camera.
Li Du appeared in the crowd, and the boss became excited when he saw him. He said, "This is a guest of our hotel. He and I witnessed the miracle of this fish being swept ashore by the storm."
The camera turned to him, and Li Du waved and nodded. "Yes, about two days ago in the morning, this shark landed here with a storm."
In the evening, he contacted Sophie. Sophie smiled and said, "You're on TV, honey. There's a news report about you."
Li Du instantly reacted. "Is it the news report about the great white shark being swept ashore by the storm?"
Sophie nodded and smiled. "Yes, that's the news."
They chatted for a while, and Li Du went to bed early. When the storm stopped, there would be people coming to harvest black gold abalone. They also had to start harvesting, so they had to leave early tomorrow.
