The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Fu Wan went out with Boss Fu.

There was no other way; she wanted to go out and catch some mantis shrimp today, and then she planned to take a good rest.

They come back at night and go again in the morning; this is truly a special forces-style sea voyage.

As I passed by Fu Liang's house, I saw that the guy was already waiting with his fishing net; he was determined not to miss any opportunity to fish.

After all, making money to build a house, get married, and support his mother in her old age are Fu Liang's life goals.

The three of them had just arrived at the dock, which was the busiest place at that moment. All the boats that had gone out to sea the night before were docking, and there were many people selling fish directly in baskets or buckets by the roadside.

Fu Laoda and his two companions squeezed through the crowd and finally made it onto their own boat.

The villagers, who had just returned, were puzzled when they saw the three of them about to go out to sea.

Why is it that Master Fu's departure times are different from everyone else's?

Is this why his family always has good luck?

The villagers were filled with doubt, and they began to question whether the fishing time patterns left by their ancestors were correct.

Fu Laoda and the others naturally had no idea what the villagers were thinking. They went out to sea purely on a whim. If they didn't take the fish traps in, they would probably rot in the hot weather.

After the boat left the dock, Fu Wan took out the pancakes that Ye Xiaocui had prepared earlier that morning.

He gave two pieces to Boss Fu and Fu Liang each, and then sat down at the stern to gnaw on them.

The flatbread was still cold, but luckily it wasn't too hard because it was summer. Fu Wan thought she would have to cook noodles herself in a small stainless steel pot next time she went out to sea.

Even if it's a bit extravagant to buy some noodles, it's better than eating these hard, choking whole-grain pancakes.

After sailing for more than an hour, the boat finally arrived at the sea area where Boss Fu often came. Fu Wan stood at the stern, stretching her limbs, preparing to go into the sea later.

Fu Liang then threw out his hand-thrown net from home, but both times he caught no fish.

Who understands the Air Force? They don't even have a single sardine!

In the last net, there was a shoe that seemed to have floated in from nowhere. It was a nice leather shoe, but unfortunately, there was only one.

Fu Liang had given up hope of his luck. Before going to sea with Fu Wan, he just thought he was unlucky. After going out to sea with Fu Wan several times, he wondered if he had been forgotten by the goddess Mazu.

Fu Wan stood aside and witnessed Fu Liang fail several times. Fu Liang's mournful expression after the leather shoe was retrieved made her laugh out loud.

Even Boss Fu, who was holding the ship's helm, couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound.

Before long, the boat approached the beach of the deserted island. Fu Wan and Fu Liang prepared two buckets and took two snakeskin bags.

Fu Liang planned to pick some more mangoes to take back. These mangoes were all mostly ripe, and if they weren't picked soon, they would rot on the tree.

Once the boat had come to a stop, Boss Fu carried the bucket straight to where the fish traps were placed, while Fu Wan and Fu Liang went to pick mangoes and check the beach for any catches.

After a night of waves crashing on the beach, many more sea urchins washed ashore. Since there were already enough sea urchins at home, Fu Wan picked up two but didn't want to pick any more.

This stuff doesn't keep well, and it gets cloying if you eat too much of it.

Yesterday, I sold half of them to Fu San. Sea urchins are cheap, so I didn't get much money from them.

After searching the surrounding area, Fu Wan turned over several rocks but didn't see a single blue crab, perhaps because of the island's environment.

Seeing the coconut tree nearby reminded her of the coconut she had left at the entrance of the coconut crab's burrow yesterday, so she dropped the bucket and walked over there.

The sun hasn't come out yet, and the weather is still quite cool. Maybe we can run into a few greedy coconut crabs.

After searching around, she found only a small coconut crab weighing about two or three pounds; she didn't see any large ones.

However, the coconut had been touched by a coconut crab, and it was covered with marks left by the crab's claws.

It seems they are mostly nocturnal, and very few of them come out during the day.

With no hope of getting coconut crabs, Fu Wan could only listlessly pick up another half bag of sea urchins.

Fortunately, Boss Fu came over with a bucket at that moment, but judging from his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he had made any gains.

"Ah Wan, how are you?"

Fu Wan shook her head, "I caught a small coconut crab and collected a bunch of sea urchins."

Boss Fu placed the bucket in front of her. "Is this a sea snake?!"

Fu Wan had leaned closer to get a better look at what was in the bucket, but upon seeing it, she immediately took several steps back.

She hates snakes the most!

It's sticky and greasy, which is really annoying.

Boss Fu chuckled and quickly brought the bucket back. "It's conger eels. The six traps are basically full of conger eels!"

Conger eels are considered the ginseng of the sea, with long, cylindrical bodies and laterally flattened tails. They have long, pointed heads, large mouths and eyes, and extremely sharp teeth. You have to be careful when handling them, as a bite can be quite unpleasant.

Unlike sea snakes, which are like land snakes, moray eels have large, short heads and flattened tails.

Most importantly, sea snakes are mostly venomous, and some sea snakes are very similar to the top-ranked silver-ringed snake in the Chinese server, both having white ring patterns on their bodies.

Whether it's a sea snake or a moray eel, Fu Wan keeps her distance.

She carried the sea urchins onto the boat, while Boss Fu put the bucket of eels back into the cabin and went to find Fu Liang.

Of course, he also took a few burlap sacks, intending to collect as many mangoes as he could, and if he couldn't eat them all, he could dry them and keep them as snacks for his children.

Fu Wan wasn't interested in picking mangoes. After warming up and stretching, she said goodbye to Boss Fu, picked up her net, and went into the sea.

The sun has now risen above the sea, and the seawater is much cooler than it was yesterday afternoon.

Fu Wan didn't rush to dive down immediately; she waited until she had adjusted to the water temperature before going in.

There are still many fish in the sea in the morning. Schools of sardines and fish of various colors swim around. If you stay on the seabed and look up, the scene is like a starry sky, which is very dazzling.

Fu Wan admired the rare beautiful scenery for a moment, and then began to pick up her favorite mantis shrimp.

She picked up any mantis shrimp and scallops she encountered, and also picked up any pretty snails she saw. It didn't matter if the meat wasn't tasty. Recently, Chen Lingling had taken a liking to collecting pretty snail shells. She treasured that coconut snail she found last time for quite a while.

There were quite a few mantis shrimp on the seabed. In no time, Fu Wan had picked up more than a dozen. As for scallops, there were even more. Five or six large scallops were enough to make the net bag heavy.

Considering the limited carrying capacity of the net, Fu Wan held the net and surfaced. Just as she was about to swim back, she felt something grab her leg from below.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She repeatedly prayed to Goddess Mazu for protection before diving down to see what it was.

I was thinking it might be seaweed or something similar, and I just hoped it wasn't a sea snake!

When she dived down to take a look, she was almost scared out of her wits!

What grabbed her was a hand! And the owner of that hand was an acquaintance, none other than Bai Qianzhou, whose face had turned pale.
