He got the benefits but still acted innocent; that perfectly describes Fu Ming.
His sister rolled her eyes at him, and Fu Ming chuckled through his breathing tube.
He never expected that the ghost he thought was a money-scattering boy would actually be him.
Fu Ming was incredibly envious of Fu Wan when she found valuable things in the sea a few times before.
Haha, today it's his turn to find a big treasure.
Hehe, it's really beautiful, I'll take it home for my wife!
After Fu Wan packed her things away, she gestured for Fu Ming to swim out to sea.
Firstly, their nets were full, and they needed to go up and put the fish into the fish boxes filled with ice.
Secondly, the moray eel was actually staring intently at the entrance of the cave with its small eyes. If they didn't leave, the leopard-spotted moray eel would fight to the death.
In his attempt to get rid of the broken scissors and knife, he provoked two crazy two-legged creatures.
Unfortunately, it couldn't win, so it had to reluctantly exchange its favorite treasure for the two people to leave quickly.
After putting away the pearl, Fu Ming bowed to the sea eel and said, "Hehe, thank you for the gift, Comrade Sea Eel."
However, if he could read the moray eel's eyes, he would tell them to get lost as fast as they could.
Despite the commotion, once back on the sea, Fu Ming didn't forget to tell Fu Wan about his discovery.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan was overjoyed.
"Really? You found a sea willow tree?"
Fu Ming pulled out a handful of hair and shook it off with a smug look.
"Of course it's true. I was just chasing that cannonball fish, and it was fast, but I was just as fast."
"Right next to that spot in the sea, there's a small cliff with several sea willow trees growing on the rocks. As soon as I spotted them, I ran back to tell you."
Before I could even say what happened, I ran into Comrade Sea Eel who was exploding with gold coins.
Fu Wan perked up immediately upon hearing this. She wiped the seawater off her face and was about to swim back into the sea.
"Brother, hurry up, take me to see this."
"Hey, don't rush, I haven't put the lobsters in the fish tank yet!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming quickly sped up his work, putting everything from the net into the fish tank. The two of them even tugged at Big Yellow's head.
Seeing Big Yellow warily guarding the fish box, Fu Ming couldn't help but start nagging.
"Good boy, stay here and guard the fish tank. I'll steam some lobster for you when we get back."
"Woof!"
Fu Wan patted Da Huang's head and turned to Fu Ming, saying, "Don't worry, brother. Look at the sea, apart from our kayak, there isn't a single person in sight."
Who would have thought someone would be fishing in this deep sea?
If it were in shallow waters, Fu Wan would still have this concern, but now, apart from the distant shadows of large fishing boats, there is nothing else in this sea area.
As for the seabirds in the sky, with Big Yellow guarding them, they dared not approach at all.
Hearing Fu Wan say this, Fu Ming was finally relieved.
However, the kayak was full of fish; the siblings had secretly hidden their newly found treasures inside their clothes.
After diving down again, the two headed straight for the small cliff that Fu Ming had mentioned. Fu Wan hadn't expected that there would be a cliff in this area of the sea.
The water below the cliff was very deep, so deep that Fu Wan couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
But today's focus wasn't on exploring the cliff, so Fu Wan immediately turned her attention back to the rocks on the cliff.
On the dark rocks in front of us, several coral trees grow. Although there are no leaves on their bare branches, there are many colorful sea fish swimming around on them.
How beautiful!
Fu Wan sighed silently. She swam forward, and many sea fish were startled and quickly fled. Fu Wan didn't care and just looked at the sea willow tree in front of her.
It was indeed the sea willow tree she was looking for. The few sea willow trees in front of her were probably over a hundred years old, and each one was a meter tall.
But these sea willows are living corals. If they are forcibly taken away, it would end their lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years. Fu Wan has a sense of awe for these things and can't bring herself to forcibly dig up the sea willows in a short time.
Fu Ming was puzzled when he saw that Fu Wan was not making a move.
Could he be mistaken? Is this not a sea willow tree?
Fu Ming stepped forward to confirm again. This thing looked exactly like the sea willow tree in his memory. There was no way he could be mistaken!
Fu Ming was puzzled and turned to Fu Wan, gesturing a couple of times.
Or should he dig it up himself?
Fu Wan stopped him and shook her head at him.
They need to find the dead sea willow tree.
This thing was also on the verge of extinction in later generations of China. Even if it wasn't now, Fu Wan couldn't convince herself to break the law.
Fu Wan gestured briefly, and Fu Ming understood what she meant.
If you can find a living sea willow tree, how could you not find a dead one?
Having just obtained two large pearls, Fu Ming was in high spirits and immediately began searching for traces of the Dead Sea Willow Tree in the surrounding area.
The brother and sister searched for a while, but there really was no Dead Sea Willow on the cliff.
Just as Fu Wan was about to give up and change areas to continue, Fu Ming suddenly grabbed her.
Fu Wan turned around, puzzled, and then looked in the direction Fu Ming pointed. Two sea willow trees were leaning against the cliff, half of their branches covered by mud and sand.
A dead sea willow tree!
Fu Wan quickly swam over, and the two of them examined it. This sea willow tree was very different from the sea willow trees on the rocks; it was clearly an inanimate object.
Moreover, one of the sea willow trees was entirely crimson, and it was the finest of the sea willow trees—the Red Willow!
Sea willow is already expensive, but red willow is even more so!
It was unclear how long the two sea willow trees had been buried in the mud and sand. To prevent damage to the trees, Fu Wan didn't even dare to pull them out directly with her bare hands. She could only use a short knife to clear the mud and sand around the trees.
Fortunately, there were two people working, and Fu Wan was agile underwater, so in less than half an hour, Fu Wan and Fu Ming dug out the two sea willow trees.
When they dug them up, the brother and sister discovered that the two sea willow trees were also over a meter tall.
This means that they are also hundreds of years old.
Fu Ming was unaware of the value of the two sea willow trees. The reason he cared about them was because Fu Wan had accepted Sun Youjin's request.
The two carefully lifted the sea willow tree, preparing to float to the surface, when suddenly a dark figure rushed directly towards Fu Ming.
Fu Wan instinctively pulled Fu Ming aside and dodged. When the two of them regained their balance and saw the dark figure clearly, they couldn't help but sneer.
It's that triggerfish again!
Undeterred by its failed ambush, the fish bared its large buck teeth and charged at Fu Ming from a different direction.
Even though Fu Wan was closer to it, it didn't attack her.
It seems this is a very vengeful triggerfish.
Fu Wan was also helpless. She carefully protected the sea willow tree in her hand. Fortunately, it was not heavy. Otherwise, if it had been damaged by the cannonball fish, she would have had to teach this thing how to catch fish.
Fu Ming was alright; it was just a cannonball fish. It was just that the fish wasn't very tasty. If it had been a grouper, Fu Ming would have caught it long ago.
