Ruan Meng's expression was indescribable.
Hundreds of people spent the whole night collecting shrimp, crabs, and small fish—enough to fill basins and buckets—but no one else had seen a thing...
It was found by the second brother, who had no harvest to show for it.
The second child thought it was poisonous and almost threw it into the water.
Observing my sister's expression, I figured it wasn't poisonous, so I asked out of curiosity:
"Little sister, what is this? Look, it looks like a horse! Only so small, so delicate!"
Ruan Meng affirmed the second son's imagination and nodded, saying:
“That’s right, second brother, it does look like a horse, hence its name, seahorse.”
"Seahorse?" Seahorse, image from the internet. "It's also a type of fish, but its most peculiar feature isn't its appearance. Its offspring are raised by the male seahorse. Can you see its abdomen?"
"The protruding chest and abdomen resemble armor; in fact, that is its brood pouch. The female seahorse will give birth to the baby seahorse into the male seahorse's brood pouch, where the fry will be born."
Wow! How amazing!
The second brother couldn't help but admire her, only to hear his younger sister let out a cold snort.
"Right? But its pouch doesn't just hold one baby seahorse..."
"If he finds a suitable female seahorse, he will raise both of their babies..."
"Pah! It's not a good fish!"
The second son spat, his complaint delivered with absolute certainty.
Those around him who heard this all straightened up and laughed.
Sun Mu'en, who was not far away, heard the interesting story and Ruan Yi's reaction, and couldn't help but laugh happily.
Sun Mu'en looked up at her brother and asked, "Brother, have you heard this story before?"
Sun Chengen lowered his eyes. As he grew up, he took care of both his business and his younger sister, so he spent much less time away from home.
However, he believes that even if he goes out, he may not be able to hear it.
Because the stewards and guards standing next to Ruan Meng and her brother had grown up on the southern island since birth, and judging from their reactions, they seemed to have never heard of them either.
Ruan Meng's expertise in preparing seafood seems to surpass that of veteran fishermen and chefs.
"Brother, I'm starting to look forward to life here!"
Sun Mu'en's face was beaming with a smile, and Sun Cheng'en couldn't help but be moved. Wasn't this exactly what he had been striving to achieve?
Sun Chengen was moved and couldn't help but ask:
"Can we eat this clownfish?"
Ruan Meng and Ruan Yi turned around at the same time and found Sun Chengen speaking.
Clownfish?
Yes, as expected of Sun Chengen!
This was the first time Ruan Meng had ever heard anyone say that seahorses were ugly!
He's a real scumbag, but he's not ugly either!
"It's best not to eat it, as it may have side effects!"
Ruan Mengru said truthfully that although seahorses can be used in medicine, the wild yield is not high. If this gets out, it could lead to extinction, which would be a sin.
In its previous life, it was a Class II protected animal in China!
Eating seahorses? A criminal offense!
"side effect?"
The second child was curious, but Ruan Meng gave a vague answer, "It inhibits human growth..."
The second child's eyes lit up. "Little sister, your brother is already so tall now. Even if he doesn't grow any taller, it should be fine, right?"
It sounds like you still want to eat?
Ruan Meng said irritably, "Second brother, is it really just one bite short? What do you want to eat? To make up for the dregs?"
"Hahaha!"
The brother and sister looked to the side, and Sun Mu'en covered her mouth and laughed. How could she understand such an obscure joke?
Sun Chengen looked down at his sister's expression and couldn't help but be moved by it.
Even if he has a sharp tongue, he's still a good older brother.
The second child, who knew how to read colors, threw the seahorse back into the sea and opened his palm to show Ruan Meng.
"I'm throwing it away! I'm not eating it anymore, look, little sister!"
Before Ruan Meng could reply, the tide began to surge up.
Normally, when people go beachcombing, the seafood in the shallows is washed away by the sea at this time of day, and now, the area around A Yuan becomes lively again.
A Yuan looked at Ruan Meng excitedly, "Girl, look!"
"Fish, so many fish!"
