Because humans are much larger than vipers, vipers do not consider them prey and aren't inclined to attack .
They moved to a place where they could install a stove and make a fire for cooking . The tiger snake stopped bothering them and hid under a stone .
Ah Meow had been trying to stir the snake up, scratching with his little paws, trying to turn over rocks to fish the tiger snake out and play with it again .
Ah Ow was getting bold, wagging her tail and probing behind Ah Meow .
When Li Du noticed this, he picked up Ah Meow and slapped Ah Ow on her behind . "What are you doing? You'll die when the snake bites you, you know?"
Ah Ow was somewhat restrained after being beaten, but she was not deterred . The bigger she got, the bolder she became .
Li Du caught her and slapped her twice, and dragged her back by the ears . Finally, she stopped .
After lunch, they moved on, and after they drove south for some time, Melbourne came into view .
The city's first impression on Li Du was that it was green and clean .
Cities in the United States had gardens built between the steel and cement towers, but Melbourne seemed to have made steel and concrete towers in the middle of huge gardens .
"Are we going right now to the beach to harvest abalone?" asked Big Quinn, who had been driving .
Li Du shook his head . "There's no hurry . Let's explore first and learn how to dive . "
"Why? Why not hire divers to catch abalone?" Big Quinn asked curiously .
This was another strategy adopted by Australia to protect the breeding of black abalone . In fact, the government and the ministry of fisheries actually wanted to ban harvesting permits for black abalone .
However, the permits were legally effective, and the government had no right to ban them .
Because of this, the government had an interesting loophole regarding the permits . Black gold abalone harvesting permits did not have a permit holder's name on them . This meant that whoever had the permit in their possession was considered the permit's owner .
In addition, the ministry of fisheries and the department of marine affairs also issued a regulation that black abalone fishermen must be registered with a permit when catching abalone each year .
In other words, in the black abalone fishing process, it's not legal to dive for abalone and then come up with a permit afterward . The permit had to be certified and registered before any diving could be done .
In this case, it was not appropriate to hire fishermen to use the permit, unless the person hired could be trusted . The person wanting to do the harvesting needed to hold the permit when registering because once a permit was handed over, it would not be clear who the permit belonged to .
In the last decade, there had been multiple cases of permit disputes in the history of Australia's black gold abalone fishing .
The judging standard in the court was, "the person and the permit is a body," which meant the permit belonged to the person holding it .
So, the owners of the harvesting permit were very careful in keeping the permit . When they weren't using it, they would keep it in a bank safe deposit box . When they were using it, they would make sure the permit was always with them .
Such was the case with Brooks, who carried his permit with him even when he went home with his wife .
Another point was that each season, only two people were allowed to register for a single permit . The owner of the permit could not replace a permit unless he or she encountered severe conditions such as death or serious injury .
Li Du wanted to go into the sea himself . There were two kinds of black gold abalone harvesting, shallow sea, and deep sea .
The other owner of the permit was Hans . They had already registered on the internet . They only needed to go to the fisheries department for certification .
While driving in downtown Melbourne, Li Du took in the view . He thought the city was quite appealing .
They were entering the center of the city, where there was a lot of traffic and a lot of noise .
However, the city's atmosphere was still very relaxing . There were many old trees lining the street .
Many people were resting or playing under the trees and on the grass . Some people were sitting drinking afternoon tea .
There were also wild animals such as agile deer and fluffy llamas in the slightly more remote environs . Ah Meow licked her chops and looked at an oak tree . Li Du took a good look and saw a koala there .
As the car drove along the tree-lined road, Li Du marveled . "Are we in the city? I thought it was a garden!"
"Yes, this is a garden," Lu Guan said . "The Treasury Gardens, the Fitzroy Gardens, the Birrarung Marr Park . Look, that's the sculpture terrace . The places we passed along the way are all gardens . "
The park they were currently driving down was the Royal Botanic Garden . The roadside was filled with greenery and flower beds creating beautiful scenery . The trails were demarcated with decorative laid logs . Although they were artificial, it was comfortable and very natural .
Li Du first went for diving certification so that he could learn how to dive and then go harvest the black gold abalone .
At the southern tip of Melbourne, there was a stretch of land extending out of the mainland called the southeast corner, which was indeed the southeast part of Australia and a diving spot .
They drove without stopping to the southeast corner .
The weather began to change, with the occasional ray of sunshine in the morning turning into a thorough gloom later on . There seemed to be a stifling layer of ink-stained cotton in the air .
As the car reached the southeast corner, Li Du got out to stroll on the beach .
The beach there was not the most picturesque, though the water was blue and clear, and there were some islands and reefs .
"Why aren't there many people? Shouldn't there be a lot of abalone fishermen and divers here?" asked Li Du .
There was no one on the beach, and there were not many boats in the sea .
There were occasional people on the beach, but they were in a hurry and did not seem like leisurely ocean lovers .
"Hello, sir . Why is there no one here?"
The man looked at them in surprise and said, "Did you not get the storm warning? Why would anyone go to the sea when a storm is coming?"
Li Du recalled that earlier in Canberra, the owner of their hotel said there had been a major storm in recent days, but they hadn't seen any storms, believing the weather forecast was wrong .
As if to impress these newbies, the sea weather was changeable . They just knew there was going to be a big storm . The wind coming off the sea suddenly grew stronger, hitting them in the face .
The blue water was no longer clear . The wind was blowing and the waves were rolling . The water was cloudy, and big waves were rolling on the sea one after another . The white waves were hitting against the rocks and making a bang sound .
The three little land animals who were terrified by the sight rushed to get into the car .
Standing by the sea, Li Du was splashed by the seawater, even though he backed away immediately .
"Boss!" At that moment, Lu Guan waved and said, "Let's leave . The storm's coming in . "
