Chapter 50 Eel
Mu Chenze saw what Chu Xuan was thinking, but deliberately said, "I'm tired too. Go by yourself!"
"Okay!" Chu Xuan wouldn't force anyone. He took out the flashlight from the backpack and put it on his back. "I'm leaving."
Mu Chenze sat in the main room, without even looking at her or saying anything, he just waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
At first, Ji Ping thought Chen Ze would be with Chu Xuan, but he didn't expect that he would neither go fishing nor see anyone off.
Are you trying to avoid suspicion?
It’s really not okay to joke about Chen Ze and Chu Xuan anymore.
Ji Ping stood up and walked Chu Xuan out, "Be careful."
Chu Xuan didn't mind at all that Mu Chenze didn't come out to see her off. She smiled and replied to Ji Ping, "Go back to the house!"
Only after Chu Xuan left did Mu Chenze stand up and say, "Pingzi, I'm going home to rest. I still have to go to the city in the early morning."
"good."
Ji Ping didn't think about it and locked the door when he saw him out.
Mu Chenze quickened his pace to catch up with Chu Xuan.
Five minutes later, she appeared.
Fortunately, there was no one around, "Chu Xuan, wait a moment."
Chu Xuan heard the familiar voice, stopped, turned around and looked at him, "Have you changed your mind?"
Mu Chenze raised the corner of his mouth, "That's right. I'll go with you to the other side of the mountain to catch the sea."
Chu Xuan was just happy and didn't ask him why he changed his mind.
"Great! Let's go!"
Although it was getting dark, Mu Chenze could still see Chu Xuanle's happy face.
"You're so happy just because you went to the other side of the mountain to catch some sea?"
Chu Xuan spoke frankly, "Of course I'm happy! How can I not be happy when I'm making money? There must be a lot of good stuff over there! I wish I could go there every night, but it's because I want to keep my promise to you that I can only go during the day when I'm alone..."
Speaking of this, she felt that she was losing dozens of dollars every day.
Mu Chenze sighed, "Human energy is limited. You're busy like a top every day now. Don't think about going to the beach every day. You need to rest."
"That won't work. I've said that fishing is my main occupation. I feel like I've done well in shipping this year, so going fishing more often is definitely a good idea. I need to save enough money as soon as possible to renovate the remaining two adobe houses. I also want to ask the village to grant me another piece of land to build a fish grilling workshop..."
Chu Xuan walked towards the mountain road while talking about his future plans.
Mu Chenze admired her a little, but he didn't say anything to praise her. "With your current physical condition, can you withstand such fatigue? You should stabilize your current income and take care of your health first, then think about other things! If you need money, I can lend it to you."
Chu Xuan smiled and waved her hand quickly, "I know you're doing this for my own good. I won't lend you money. It's not pleasant to be in debt. I like to work hard to earn money myself."
When he heard the word "debt", Mu Chenze suddenly remembered the time when One-Eyed Dragon asked Chu Xuan for a debt, "Did you really break the emperor jade ornament from One-Eyed Dragon's family?"
I always feel that this matter is strange.
Chu Xuan didn't want to lie to him. "That was a lie to Feng Chunhua's family. You have to keep it a secret for me. Only you, me, and Xiaofeng know about this."
Facing her frankness, Mu Chenze was very happy. She treated him as one of her own. "Don't worry! I will keep it a secret for you."
But he didn't mention lending her money again.
Because he had already seen that Chu Xuan would never lend him money.
They continued chatting as they walked along the mountain road.
"Mu Chenze, you didn't tell Ji Ping where we went to the beach?"
"No."
"He's your best friend, do you really want to hide it?"
"He has a fishing boat, so he doesn't need to make a living by fishing."
The subtext is that Ji Ping doesn't have as much need to go to the beach as you, Chu Xuan.
"Thank you for taking care of me."
"Are you being polite to me again? If you keep being so polite, I won't go fishing with you!"
"Don't worry." Chu Xuan suddenly stepped on a stone and stumbled. Fortunately, Mu Chenze supported him, otherwise he would have fallen seriously.
Mu Chenze said with disdain, "Stop talking and look at the road! With your weight, I'm afraid you'll hurt your waist if I help you again!"
Chu Xuan secretly cursed him for being soft-hearted and stubborn...
Half an hour later, they arrived at the secret place where they went to catch seafood.
It was completely dark and the tide had receded a lot.
They didn't care about the clams on the beach and went straight to the dozen or so tide pools.
After a while, they caught two sea bass weighing five or six pounds, more than twenty large conches, and more than a dozen octopuses.
Just as Chu Xuan was happily going to the next tide pool to catch fish, he was stopped by Mu Chenze.
"Look out! There's an eel!"
Chu Xuan observed carefully with the help of the flashlight.
The fish is about half a meter long, thin, with small eyes and a convex snout. The back of the body is gray-black, the sides of the body are gray-white, the front of the body is cylindrical, the back is flattened, and there is a longitudinal tooth belt on the jaw of the head.
This fish is ferocious, nocturnal, and voracious. It has medicinal and nutritional value, earning it the nickname "water gold."
The key is to be able to make money!
Chu Xuan was not afraid of it. She brought a hand net and long clamps.
"Mu Chenze, I'm a tough girl. This eel can't faze me. You're in the way! Move aside, I'll do it!"
The despised Mu Chenze, "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person."
Although he said this, his eyes were always fixed on the eel.
If you get bitten by this thing, the severity is many times more serious than being bitten by a dog.
Once when he was fishing at sea, he was almost bitten by a conger eel. Fortunately, he was wearing warm clothes and gloves.
Chu Xuan skillfully caught the eels with a hand net.
After being caught, the eel became extremely agitated and looked like it wanted to bite Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan simply ignored the eel's emotions, took out a wooden barrel from his backpack, and put it into the barrel.
Continue walking towards the tide pool ahead.
Mu Chenze followed beside him with a long clip.
This tide pool is over half a meter deep, and eels were spotted again.
This time there is more than one.
Chu Xuan counted them and found there were six.
How rare!
Without bothering to talk to Mu Chenze, he took the hand net to fish.
Catch them all in one swoop.
Just as she was happily putting it into the bucket, an eel suddenly broke out of the net.
Opening its mouth, it bit Chu Xuan...
Mu Chenze was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the eel with the clamp in his hand and threw it into the bucket. Then he snatched the hand net from Chu Xuan. If he had been a step slower, the other eels would have broken out of the net.
"Chu Xuan, can you use your brain? You only want to catch eels to make money, not your life!"
Chu Xuan was also a little scared, "Thank goodness you were here."
After all the eels were put into the bucket, Mu Chenze checked the hand-made net and found that it needed repairing.
It is impossible for Chu Xuan to carry repair tools with him.
"That's all for today! Go back!"
Chu Xuan didn't want to leave. "There's still an hour until high tide! I don't have a hand net, so I'll use a clamp. If I come across a sea bass, I can catch it with my hands."
"I can catch you! If it's dark and you can't see clearly, there will be several eels next to the perch. If you try to catch the perch, the eels will bite you..."
Chu Xuan didn't let him finish, "Pfft! Could you please stop being such a pessimist?"
"This is my intuition!"
"Your intuition is spot on!" Chu Xuan shone her flashlight towards another tide pool and saw a sea bass and three eels. "Mu Chenze, give me the long clamps! Grab these three eels first, and they won't be able to bite me."
Mu Chenze seriously doubted her ability, "Is that your level?"
