Brooks raised his hand to hit his wife, but as soon as he waved his hand, he found that his arm could not go down. A big hand grabbed his wrist.
He turned his head in surprise and saw Hans' cold face.
This scene was very Hollywood. There were such scenes in some movies, where the villain wanted to hit a woman, and the hero or heroine reached out and grabbed the villain's arm. Every time such a scene appeared, the audience would always cheer for the hero's pure manliness.
Hans was now the hero, and Brooks was the villain.
However, before Li Du and the rest of the audience could applaud Hans for his manliness, an accident happened. Brooks swung his arm hard, and Hans did not manage to hold on to it. Hans was thrown to the ground!
It couldn't be helped. Brooks was a big fat man who ate at sea all year round. His physical fitness was actually very good and he was quite strong. Hans could not hold his arm when he swung his arm like that.
Lu Guan muttered in a low voice, "Jesus, this is so f * cking embarrassing."
Hans did not feel embarrassed. He blocked the sea lady and said sternly, "Hey, fat man, try touching me!"
Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and Big Quinn took a step forward without batting an eyelid. Li Du pointed at Hans and said, "Whoever dares to touch my brother can come at him. If he can still stand up after a minute, I lose!"
Brooks did not dare to make a move, but he did not want to show weakness either. He shouted, "I hit my wife, and it's none of your business. What right do you have to intervene? "
Hans said, "Domestic violence is against the law, idiot. We are Australian heroes. Of course we have to intervene!"
As he spoke, he looked at the sea lady and asked with concern, "Hey, lady, are you okay? Do you need us to call the police? "
The sea lady, who had been silent, suddenly looked up at him, her eyes straight.
She looked at Hans and suddenly said, "Domestic violence is against the law. If I ask for a divorce, will the judge grant us a divorce?"
Hearing this, Hans suddenly perked up.
He had been worried that what he had done would be seen by the sea lady as a busybody. Now that she had said this, it was obvious that she approved of what he had done and was grateful for what he had done.
So he said, "Of course, he not only abused you, but he also insulted you in public. We are all witnesses, and the court will allow you to divorce!"
Hearing this, the sea maiden said resolutely, "I want to divorce him. He often abuses me!"
As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeves and clothes, revealing large patches of bruises on her skin.
"Hey, Christie, what do you mean by that?" cried Brooks anxiously. You want a divorce? No, don't even think about it! Don't even think about it! "
The sea woman did not look at him. She continued to look at Hans and said, "Could you please help me call the police? Although I have been in Australia for many years, I am like a prisoner, imprisoned by his side, unable to contact the outside world. I don't know how to deal with these things. "
Being stared at by the woman's sorrowful eyes, Hans's blood instantly boiled. His manly spirit quickly swelled, and he had even more of a hero complex than when he was called a 'hero' in the interview.
"I'll settle it for you," Hans promised.
Li Du felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
Hans called the police and the police intervened.
Then Hans was busy helping the sea woman hire a lawyer. He had met several excellent lawyers in the child abduction case, and the other party was in Tasmania and easily took over the case.
While Hans was busy being a righteous man, Li Du was busy preparing to go into the sea to look for black gold abalone.
From the night he came back, the tide began to recede on King Island and the surrounding area of Tasmania.
It was as if an invisible giant was dragging the sea in the distance. Li Du and the others stood on the reef on the edge of the island and looked forward, watching the water gradually recede.
After one night, they got up at dawn the next day. When they walked to the pier, the water beside the pier had become much shallower.
It was even more obvious in the distance. The coastline had receded for a long time, and large reefs and seabed were exposed. There were seaweed and water plants on the ground every three to five steps.
Many small fish, shrimps, and crabs did not have time to retreat and were left on the coast.
The small crabs were fine. They could survive and move on land, and their eight claws stepped on the beach as usual.
The shrimps and fish were miserable. Unless they were lucky enough to stay in a puddle and wait until the tide rose, they almost all died under the hot sun.
There were also some sea turtles on the coast, including leatherback turtles, which were monitored by the fishing and hunting bureau. These large sea turtles were astonishingly large, like dinner tables.
In addition, there were abalones on some of the reefs, many of which were huge black gold abalone.
These were the treasures that the fishermen had to compete for. Because the sea receded and exposed the seabed, it was much easier to get black gold abalone than usual, and everyone would race against time to harvest.
Therefore, the black gold abalone harvesting at this time had a unique name: the Ebb Tide War.
The black gold abalone fishermen were the first to go into the sea, and then the tourists and residents of King Island also entered the beach, carrying baskets and dragging bags in search of valuable seafood.
The fishing and hunting officers arrived later, and they had to prevent people from damaging the exposed coral or picking up some of the protected marine life.
At the same time, the officers also had to warn people to be careful of the sea snakes and poisonous jellyfish left on the coast at low tide. At this time, the sea snakes were very aggressive because of the change in their living environment.
The residents on the island were more experienced and had prepared specially reinforced rubber rafts in advance.
After the tide receded, there were a lot of mud on the coast, which was dangerous for people to walk on. They had to rely on the rubber rafts to reduce the pressure and prevent sinking into the sea mud.
Li Du and the others were not prepared and could only stand on the beach and watch.
The other black gold abalone fishermen had experienced many ebb tide wars and were well prepared. They not only prepared rubber rafts, but also various tools such as iron hooks and forks that could adapt to different environments and catch different seafood.
Obviously, today they would not only harvest black gold abalone, but also other valuable seafood.
Cruz appeared later and saw a group of people standing on the dock. He asked in surprise, "What are you standing here for? Go down and find the black gold abalone that appeared on the shore first. "
Li Du smiled bitterly. "I didn't prepare any tools. I'm going to dive directly."
Cruz said helplessly, "You didn't do any preparation after I informed you? You came empty-handed? "
"Yes."
"Amazing!"
He could not help Li Du and the others in this regard, so he waved his hand and said, "I have to leave first. You know, the ebb tide will not be long. The tide will rise in the afternoon. This time is very precious, and I have to seize it. Goodbye."
Li Du waved and said, "Let's go, too. Let's continue to go out to sea."
Just as they were about to leave, Hans arrived with the Sea Woman. They had arrived in a pickup truck with several large inner tubes on the back of the truck.
