The crowd dispersed in a flurry, each member beaming with joy.
Zhou Miaoniang followed behind, her legs weak, taking tiny, hesitant steps, her eyes still filled with lingering fear.
The fierce woman hadn't left; she was still standing on the shore with her hands on her hips, afraid that she might go crazy again and throw herself at him.
Who exactly is she, and why is no one regulating her behavior?
And that commander, who is clearly the highest-ranking officer in this camp, why is he so respectful to her?
The highest-ranking official, a second slower, reached out and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't jump!"
Thump~
Whoosh~
*Snap*
Three splashes of water followed, and then Shishi, Chou Chou, and Xiao Shi leaped gracefully into the water.
Shen Yijin panicked, "Xie Lin, quick, you save your sister-in-law, I'll save..."
The three fish frolicked leisurely, while the patriarch remained so calm that he didn't even flinch.
"Your swimming skills might not even be as good as theirs, what are you trying to save?"
Ugly's swimming skills are beyond question. Shishi and Xiaoshi are Da Yu Xiao Yu's apprentices. The three of them are more like fish than fish, not to mention that Da Yu Xiao Yu and the eldest and second eldest are currently underwater.
My wife says she wants to "pick up" pearls; don't ruin her money-making plan.
Shen Yijin looked at the three "fish" posing wildly in the water, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.
He was just being delusional.
Three more splashes followed, and the three chickens that had been pulled out of the water jumped back in.
As we all know, chickens' feet are not equipped for swimming, and their feathers get wet easily.
But the chickens raised by "fish" float on the water as peacefully as if they were sitting in their nest incubating their chicks. They close their eyes and feel the seawater washing over them, their little expressions showing pure enjoyment.
"Eeya, ah~"
In her grandmother's arms, Daqi used both hands and feet to paddle excitedly, her little face showing great eagerness, as if to say: I want to go to sea too!
My sisters aren't here, so it's time for my brother and me to spend with our parents. I'm going to be a good playmate.
Zhang Tong patted Daqi's little bottom, "Be good, be quiet, Mommy and your uncles will find you toys on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday."
Two chubby little hands stretched out, fingers spread wide, eyes gleaming with triumph. "Ah!" (So many toys.)
"Okay, okay, so much."
Zhang Tong shook his head and chuckled. "Little guy, do you know how many counts there are on both hands?"
Little Seven nestled quietly in her father's arms, genuinely conveying: "I'm injured, I won't get wet."
Dad said my calf needs to be bandaged for a while to protect Uncle Chou Chou. It's really going to be a test for me, a baby who loves playing in the water.
Only the quack sighed, "Oh, why aren't my three antennae waterproof? I really want to enjoy the embrace of the sea, where I can roam freely like a thousand-year-old tortoise. How cool would that be?"
In that world, its owner had already found materials to make an insulating cap for it, but before it could be installed, its owner disappeared. Then the apocalypse happened, and it came here but couldn't find the right materials. It's so annoying!
Shen Yijin: ...I'm sorry, I thought I knew your family well enough, but now I realize that it's far from enough.
As they swam further and further away, and even remained submerged for a long time before surfacing, with no sign of Chou Chou, Shen Yijin couldn't help but worry.
"Xie Lin, are they really capable? The waves seem bigger than usual today, what if..."
"No 'what ifs', Lao Shen. We haven't been back in a long time. Get a boat approved, and I'll take them out for a trip." Xie Lin raised his hand in response to Shi Shi and Xiao Shi's wave.
Shen Yijin didn't hesitate, "Okay, go get it. Give me Xiao Qi, I'll watch over it here. Hurry up and bring the boat over, don't let them wait in the water for too long."
Zhou Miaoniang hadn't gone far when she saw the three people and three chickens jump into the sea. Her heart skipped a beat as the shadows in the water suddenly loomed over her.
She thought viciously, "Big water snake, big fish with sharp teeth, come quick, come quick, swallow them all, and never let them come ashore again."
Then they saw one of the children not surface for a long time, and the other two seemed to be getting anxious. They swam a bit and then waved to the shore, probably asking for help.
Then a man hurried away. She vaguely heard the man say the word "boat" to the commander's bodyguard, apparently to find a boat to rescue people.
So you won't accept my seafood, huh? Well, this is karma.
She sneezed softly and decided to wait there, imagining the sea turning into a bloody mess.
However...
The boat was a standard, unremarkable vessel. With the help of the officer and his guards, the woman, the two children, and the iron lump all boarded the boat.
As the boat sailed away from the shore, the woman on board smiled contentedly, showing no sign of tension.
How is that possible?
Weren't they going to rescue people?
Why didn't that leader and his bodyguard board the ship?
"Sir, they took fishing nets with them when they went out to sea. Will they bring back a whole netful of seafood?"
"Maybe. Go to the cafeteria and ask Ming Hailiang to prepare their favorite dishes and keep them warm so they can have a hot meal whenever they come back tired from playing."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Miaoniang was dumbfounded.
Want to go boating?
Not going to rescue people?
Did they not encounter a sea monster?
That shouldn't be the case, such a huge water snake, such a huge fanged monster.
Shishi, carrying the audacious Daqi, rode a giant fish across the vast sea. The little one was so excited that he cried out, his face wet with joy, it was hard to tell if it was seawater or saliva.
Awooo, the ocean, the baby's here!
A rope was tied to the tail of the big fish, with three chickens tied to the other end. The chickens had floats attached to their feet, and the feeling of them gliding quickly across the water was wonderful—cluck cluck cluck! (Flying, flying, flying to the sky.)
