Chapter 43 Injured
Jiang Xia no longer paid attention to what the heroine was doing, but continued to look for anything to pick up among the rocks. When she came across a stone that could be moved, she moved it a little, but she didn't find anything.
Zhou Chenglei followed her with a bucket of water.
Jiang Xia chased him away: "Why are you following me? Pick them up separately! Hurry up and go home, it's almost dark. See if there are any more crabs, it would be nice to pick up a few more."
"Crabs are cold. Eating too much is not good for you." Zhou Chenglei followed her because he was afraid that she would fall, but she disliked him so he had to walk away and go find her favorite crabs.
Jiang Xia walked forward carefully, picking up any small mussels, oysters and other shellfish she saw. No matter how few they were, they were still meat, so she would not let go of any edible ones.
After walking a short distance, she picked up another blue-green fish, a green snapper, which was already dead. Jiang Xia opened the cover and took a look at the gills, which were still bright red, which meant it was still fresh, so she picked it up and put it in the bucket.
Walking forward slowly, this reef is almost at the end, and there is a beach in front with many people.
Jiang Xia thought there was no stock, but unexpectedly he saw a red shell sticking out from the reef in a small puddle.
Looking at the shell, Jiang Xia thought it was a shrimp.
Her heart was lifted!
Jiang Xia put the bucket aside, squatted down, and found that her arms were not long enough, so she simply lay her whole body on the reef and waited for the opportunity.
Zhou Chenglei kept an eye on Jiang Xia's movements from time to time, and when he turned around he saw her lying on the reef with her butt sticking up.
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
Not knowing what she had discovered, Zhou Chenglei walked towards her.
After Jiang Xia lay down, the shell gradually exposed more and more. When half of its body was exposed, Jiang Xia immediately reached out and grabbed it and caught it!
She held a red cicada lobster in her hand! Zhou Chenglei raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Xia turned to look at Zhou Chenglei and smiled brightly: "I caught a mantis shrimp!"
Zhou Chenglei continued to approach, and heard the excitement in her tone. He took a look and said, "It's cicada lobster. This shrimp is delicious."
The meat of cicada lobster is firm and tender, with a delicious and rich flavor, similar to lobster, but its meat is smoother and more delicate than lobster meat.
“Expensive, huh?”
"Yeah." But it's not often that you can catch shrimps. Thinking that Jiang Xia might not have eaten them before, he said, "We've picked up so many shrimps today. You can keep this big one and try it."
Jiang Xia: "That's fine."
You can never make enough money, so enjoy it while you can.
Zhou Chenglei put the bucket in front of her: "Put it in the bucket."
Zhou Chenglei didn't pick up everything. Jiang Xia saw a sea bass, a moray eel, and a few crabs in his bucket. The crabs were alive, but the fish were dead.
The moray eel looked a bit like a snake. Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat and he quickly put the shrimp in.
Zhou Chenglei picked up the bucket she had placed on the ground and said, "Let's go!"
"Oh." Jiang Xia responded, but still couldn't help but look around subconsciously.
As he looked over, he saw the waves hitting Jiao You and a flash of white passing by.
Jiang Xia immediately said: "There is something there!"
As she said this, she strode over.
"Don't go over there, the waves are too big!" Zhou Chenglei shouted and hurried to catch up.
"I won't go any closer." Jiang Xia replied. When she got closer, the waves came crashing down and her water shoes were filled with water.
But Jiang Xia saw a very long and very flat fish twisting its body in the crevice of the reef and almost dying.
It must have been not long since I came up, and my abdomen is a little bloated.
“It’s hairtail.”
The teeth of the hairtail are sharp. Fortunately, it looked like it was dying and it probably didn’t have much strength left.
"I'll do it. You stay away." Zhou Chenglei jumped down and grabbed its head with one hand and its body with the other.
The moment I caught it, the cutlassfish struggled a bit.
He splashed water all over Jiang Xia's face.
Jiang Xia was carrying a snakeskin bag with him and had already opened the bag and was waiting.
Zhou Chenglei pierced its abdomen and threw the hairtail directly into it.
This cutlassfish is very big and long, probably weighing more than ten kilograms.
Because they found another cutlassfish, Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia looked around the reef again, and only left when they found that there was really nothing there.
Zhou Chenglei carried the two buckets and the hairtail fish and didn't let Jiang Xia carry anything.
Jiang Xia was holding a pair of pliers and a small shovel in his hands.
The two walked back.
Jiang Xia didn't give up yet and looked around as he walked.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from a distance: "Someone was swept away by the waves!"
Jiang Xia was startled and looked over, and found that there was indeed a white figure in the sea, floating up and down in the waves.
The heroine is wearing white clothes.
Zhou Chenglei quickly put down what he was holding and ran over.
Jiang Xia also ran over.

But for some unknown reason, his feet slipped on the rocks and he fell onto the ground.
There was a sharp pain in my knee!
Jiang Xia's shoes were filled with water from the waves, and his trouser legs were rolled up. One could see blood oozing out of his knees.
Jiang Xia tried to get up, but the pain made her gasp: "Hiss!"
Zhou Chenglei seemed to realize something, looked back, and then glanced at the seashore: there were several people rushing forward to rescue people.
They are all very good at water.
Zhou Chenglei turned around and went back to Jiang Xia and took a look at her. His knees and ankles were bruised and bleeding.
He frowned: "Let me see if it's sprained."
Zhou Chenglei gently held her ankles and calves and moved them with a little force.
No sprained joints.
Zhou Chenglei felt relieved and looked at the seaside again.
Jiang Xia also looked over.
At this moment, a big wave came over and sent the white figure back to the beach.
Several people rushed forward and quickly pulled the person to the beach.
It's okay.
Zhou Chenglei felt relieved, retracted his gaze, and said to Jiang Xia: "I'll carry you back."
Jiang Xia shook his head and stood up: "It's okay, it's just a scratch, I can walk by myself, you take the things."
This minor injury was nothing. She had been riding an electric bike and was hurt worse when she fell off it while rushing to work. Half of her arm and thigh were scratched, but she got up by herself and rushed to work.
Zhou Chenglei looked at her knee bleeding and walking forward as if nothing had happened, and his heart inexplicably tightened.
He picked up two buckets and a snakeskin bag with one hand, then came in front of Jiang Xia. Without saying a word, he stretched out his long arms, picked up Jiang Xia, and walked forward!
Jiang Xia was held in his arms like a child. She was so scared that she hugged his neck, her face flushed: "What are you doing? I can walk by myself, put me down."
"Don't move." Zhou Chenglei did not put her down, but carried her to the shore.
Jiang Xia didn't dare to move, she looked around subconsciously.
The whole beach was full of people, but fortunately, because someone had just been swept away by the waves, everyone was watching the fun and no one was looking at them.
In the distance, Wen Wan was dragged to the beach and felt a sense of fear.
She subconsciously glanced at the people who rescued her, and none of them was Zhou Chenglei.
She couldn't help but look around for Zhou Chenglei, and then she saw him walking towards the shore with two buckets in one hand and Jiang Xia in the other.
Wen Wan: “…”
He actually watched someone die without helping? (End of this chapter)
