Chapter 14 The Mysterious Spatial Pool

Qin Suisui ran into the wardrobe and fiddled around for a long time. Under the cover of the wardrobe, she took out a lot of things from the space and showed them to Pei Jiuyan one by one.

"Here, this is Vitamin C. It's hard for you to get fresh fruits and vegetables at sea, so you're prone to mouth ulcers, which are very uncomfortable. Eating this can help replenish your vitamins and prevent them."

"And these are various wound medicines, cold medicines, and disinfectants. I don't know if you have any, but please bring them with you, just in case."

"Take these pastries with you too, they can help if you get hungry. This one is called Panlong Cai, just slice it and steam it when you want to eat it. It's a pity we don't have any vegetables, but I have vegetable seeds, I'll clear out that patch of land in the yard and plant them in the next few days!"

"These……"

Watching her chatter incessantly, Pei Jiuyan wanted to bite her, but no, it was too early, and he didn't want to scare her.

After patiently waiting for her to finish speaking, Pei Jiuyan smiled and packed everything into his luggage bag. He then called Zanzan over and said, "Zanzan, Daddy has to go on a mission. You are the man of the family, so you have to take good care of Mommy, understand?"

Zan Zan nodded and saluted him: "Understood! Mission accomplished!"

Pei Jiuyan set off ten minutes later. In the deep night, Qin Suisui stood at the gate watching his departing figure without saying a word until he could no longer be seen. Zanzan took her hand and walked back, comforting her, "Mom, don't be sad, Dad will be back in a few days!"

When they got to the living room, Zan Zan realized that her mother didn't look sad at all; she was beaming with joy!

Qin Suisui was genuinely happy. She was fine during the day, but at night she didn't know how to get along with Pei Jiuyan. She managed to get through last night, but they were a real couple after all, and there were some things she had to do even if she didn't want to! She couldn't just get away with it every time!

It's good that Pei Jiuyan is going on a mission! We can postpone this for as long as possible; at least she's not ready yet!

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Suisui got up. Looking out the window, she saw the sea was already a deep blue-green, and wondered where Pei Jiuyan and the others had gone. Also, yesterday there were too many people gathering seafood, so she wanted to go again today to confirm if the space had any attraction for the seafood.

Pei Jiuyan is right; she's not familiar with the beach, and if something happens, it could cause trouble for him. Maybe she should go with Aunt Tang next time!

Thinking this to herself, the next second, there was a knock on the front door. Qin Suisui looked down from the second-floor window and saw that it was actually Sister-in-law Tang!

She ran downstairs to open the door, and was greeted by Sister Tang's smiling face: "Sui Sui, I saw that your light was on, so I guessed you must be up. It's high tide these days, and several other women in the family compound have decided to go beachcombing together. Do you want to come along? I can introduce you to them!"

Just when you're about to fall asleep, someone offers you a pillow. Qin Suisui nodded vigorously: "Go! Go! Sister-in-law, I'll go!"

Aunt Tang smiled and patted her messy hair, saying, "Okay, then go wash up quickly and take Zan Zan with you. There are other kids to play with. We'll meet at your door in ten minutes!"

Qin Suisui nodded and quickly ran upstairs to wake Zan Zan. The two of them then hurriedly washed up and ran downstairs to the kitchen to get the tools.

Zan Zan originally picked up a small bucket, but when he saw his mother choose the largest bucket, he decisively dropped the small bucket and picked up a large bucket just like his mother's. That bucket was almost as tall as him, and he wobbled as he walked while carrying it.

Qin Suisui suppressed a laugh: "Zanzan, you can just take the small bucket."

Zan Zan waved his hand knowingly, "Mom, you don't understand. This bucket is so big, it might not even be enough for you alone!" Zan Zan had witnessed his mother's prowess last time, so he decided to help her fill the bucket!

Qin Suisui nodded: "So Zanzan wants to help Mom pack the fish. Well then, you take this second-largest bucket. The big bucket is too big and it's inconvenient to walk in. What if you fall?"

Zan Zan thought about it and realized it made sense. If he fell, his mother would have to take care of him, which would interfere with her catching fish and shrimp. During the high tide, fish and shrimp were a real struggle to get! He had seen his aunts grabbing them!

Zan Zan nodded, then took the second largest bucket and shovel, and the mother and son went out hand in hand.

Aunt Tang and the others happened to walk over as well. Seeing Qin Suisui come out, they quickly smiled and pulled her over: "Suisui, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Wu, she's an excellent seamstress. This is Aunt Tu, she's from Guangdong Province, she's especially good at making stews and all kinds of sweet soups. And this is Aunt Liu, she works at the hospital, you should have met her before. They all live in the same family compound as us, and their husbands are all at the same level as my husband, Lao Guo."

Sister-in-law Tang pointed this out specifically so that Qin Suisui wouldn't feel inferior to her sisters-in-law just because she was younger. Her husband was the most important person in the family!

Moreover, Tang's family was close to Pei Jiuyan and his group, and they knew a bit about Qin Suisui's family. Knowing that Qin Suisui couldn't do these kinds of chores, they simply introduced all the skills of the sisters-in-law during the introduction, so that if Qin Suisui needed help in the future, she could find someone to help her.

Qin Suisui greeted her sisters-in-law in a generous manner and shared some of the pastries her parents had sent from Jiangcheng with everyone. The group quickly became a close-knit group.

Both Aunt Wu and Aunt Tu were meeting Qin Suisui for the first time, and they joked with a smile, "No wonder Commander Pei is in such a hurry to get the marriage certificate. Such a beautiful comrade, I would be in a hurry too!"

Qin Suisui was a little embarrassed, but Aunt Tang smoothed things over: "You two stop talking. Suisui is young and easily embarrassed. If you seduce her and she runs away, be careful that Ayan comes back and makes you pay!"

The group walked forward chatting and laughing, with several children running around wildly ahead. Liu's son, Xiaoli, noticed that Zanzan hadn't followed, so he stopped and waved to him: "Zanzan, come quick! Let's go catch crabs with our older brothers and sisters!"

Zan Zan shook his head, tightly gripping his mother's hand: "No, Brother Xiao Li, my dad isn't home, so I'm the man of the house, and I have to take care of Mom!"

Hearing the child's innocent words, the sisters-in-law burst into laughter. Qin Suisui couldn't help but smile as well, lowering her head to pat Zan Zan's little head and softly saying, "Zan Zan, be good. Go play with your older brothers and sisters. Mommy is with the aunties, but you can't run far, okay? You have to stay within Mommy's sight at all times, okay?"

Zan Zan tilted her little head and thought for a moment before speaking like a little adult: "That works too, but Mommy has to be good and not leave Zan Zan's sight! If you can't carry it, remember to call me for help!"

Qin Suisui suppressed a laugh: "Okay, Mommy will definitely stay in Zanzan's sight. If Mommy can't carry it, she will definitely call Zanzan for help!"

Being a child, he loved to play. Hearing Qin Suisui say that, he happily ran off.

Qin Suisui followed her sisters-in-law to the mudflats. Because it was high tide, there were even more people there than yesterday. Fortunately, they arrived relatively early, and the sisters-in-law were experienced, so they led Qin Suisui through a maze of turns until they reached a small mudflat separated by reefs.

Sister Liu smiled and explained to Qin Suisui, "Suisui, don't underestimate this place just because it's small. You can get a lot of good stuff during the high tide, and there are fewer people here, so you don't have to fight with others over there."

Qin Suisui nodded: "I don't understand anything, I just follow my sisters-in-law."

It's good that there are fewer people. She wanted to find a less crowded place to test the space. Unlike the previous large beach, this place didn't have an unobstructed view. There were flat mudflats and many reefs.

The women had already started working. There were many whelks, sea urchins, oysters, and a lot of blue crabs in the rocky area. Qin Suisui followed the women and picked for a while before slowly moving towards the rocks on the side.

She had already scouted the spot; the rock was as tall as an adult's thigh. By bending down, others could only see her body, not what her hands were doing. It provided good concealment and made it easy for her to operate.

Beneath the rocks was a small patch of shallow water, reaching to the calves, which connected to the shallow sea not far away. Qin Suisui reached into the water and used her mind to draw out a little stream of water, but there was no movement. She then drew out a little waterfall water, but still there was no movement.

Could it be the water from that pool? Qin Suisui was a little puzzled. She had tasted both the stream water and the waterfall water, and neither of them was anything special. They tasted good, but they didn't have any of the special effects of a spiritual spring. Of course, perhaps she just hadn't discovered them.

Qin Suisui hadn't tasted the pool water, mainly because the water level was too low and the banks were too steep for her to reach. She figured the water flowed into the stream anyway, so it was the same, and she hadn't tried it yet. Could it be different?

Qin Suisui slowly drew out a wisp of blue-green pool water with her mind. Almost the instant the water emerged, three grouper, each the length of an adult's forearm, suddenly surfaced in the shallow water beneath the rocks, leaping and thrashing about. Qin Suisui's eyes widened in surprise, and her hands moved swiftly, grabbing one fish and putting it into a bucket. She then tossed the remaining two directly into the pool water in her space.

Soon, the shallow water began to stir. Qin Suisui looked down and saw that several palm-sized octopuses had swum over, and many stone crabs and blue crabs were also burrowing into the water from the crevices of the rocks. Sea urchins were rolling over like balls, and several arm-length lobsters were waving their claws as they swam over. There were even many sea fish that she couldn't recognize... Had all the small seafood that could swim in the nearshore waters come over?
