"Ugh, this fish is really awful. It's annoyed me several times. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to take action and beat it back."
Besides, if we hadn't killed it, we wouldn't have encountered the spotted rat!
"Oh, how so?"
Fu Laoda couldn't help but become interested, and Jack and the others also looked on with curiosity.
Fu Wan then briefly recounted how the triggerfish had repeatedly come up to provoke her, how she had shot it with her speargun and it had hidden in the crevices of the rocks, and how she had eventually found a grouper in the crevices.
After Fu Wan finished speaking, everyone's expressions were different.
Fu Laoda was indignant and thought his daughter had done a great job.
Robert, Jack, and Tom were all very eager to try it. They had been looking forward to diving, and Fu Wan's dramatic experience made them even more excited.
As for Fu Ming, he was extremely excited at this moment, simply because he understood Fu Wan so well.
Last time it was that damn buck-toothed fish that kept chasing him and even bit two big holes in his beloved flippers!
They're such despicable creatures, living off fish but not raising them. If they weren't so bad and cheap, Fu Ming would definitely teach them a lesson about human power!
We'll beat them so badly they'll run away at the sight of humans!
"Alright, Wan, and Xiaobai, hurry up and go change your clothes on the boat. Lunch will be served soon!"
Boss Fu called out loudly, reminding Fu Wan that her hair was still dripping wet and she couldn't let the sea breeze make her catch a cold.
Fu Ming nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, go change your clothes and dry off quickly. Awan, your sister-in-law and I picked a lot of wild fruits, just waiting for you to come back and eat them!"
"Haha, okay, okay, I'll go change my clothes right away."
Upon hearing that there was fruit to eat, Fu Wan couldn't wait.
She was also curious about what other wild fruits were available to eat on the island.
These days, there aren't many fruits available, but Fu Wan just happens to love eating them.
The two climbed the ladder onto the "Riding the Waves" ship and changed their clothes as quickly as possible.
Fu Wan took a shower. The temperature was not low at this time, and the fresh water on the boat was warm. After changing her clothes and drying her hair, Fu Wan disembarked with Bai Qianzhou, who had been waiting for a long time.
They were delayed on the boat for half an hour, and lunch on the island was almost ready.
The mantis shrimp and ladybug she brought back were also steamed.
Seeing that Boss Fu was busy taking out the steamed Seven Star Crabs, Fu Wan casually asked him.
"Dad, is it safe to eat these seven-star crabs? I heard from others that they're poisonous!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu laughed and shook his head, "Haha, no poison, no poison, they're delicious! We usually don't encounter these crabs when we're trawl, I didn't expect you to catch a few today."
You should try it later, it's absolutely delicious! The texture is so much better than blue crabs and stone crabs!
Boss Fu paused for half a second, trying hard to recall.
"As for the poison, there shouldn't be any. Occasionally, some people get diarrhea after eating it, but that's nothing to worry about. Diarrhea is common when eating seafood!"
Fu Wan was speechless. What Boss Fu said was true. People who grow up by the sea are bound to get diarrhea from seafood.
Whether it's seafood with mild toxins or seafood that wasn't thoroughly cooked, diarrhea is nothing to worry about; some people even experience vomiting and diarrhea for several days in a row!
Of course, everyone believed that eating too much would be fine, after all, nothing is more painful than eating Guanyin clay on an empty stomach. In the past, people believed that as long as you don't die from the poison, then it's not poisonous!
"Awan, come and try the wild berries that your sister-in-law and I picked!"
Seeing Fu Wan approach, Fu Ming hurriedly handed her a package wrapped in a large leaf.
When Fu Wan opened it, she found a pile of dark purple mountain fern seeds.
She grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth. A refreshing sweetness spread through her mouth. At first, it had a slightly astringent taste, but it became negligible as she chewed.
"How is it? The taste is alright, isn't it?"
Fu Ming asked with a smug smile, and Fu Wan nodded repeatedly.
It's really good.
"Are there still wild hibiscus on the island?"
"Yes, quite a lot. Anning and I picked a lot with Jack and the others. We'll take some to A-Liang and Uncle San later!"
Fu Ming gestured for Fu Wan to look at Qin Anning's hand. Fu Wan glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow, there's quite a lot! It looks like there are at least twenty catties of wild rice!"
With so many, it's likely that Fu Ming has plucked almost all the wild jujubes on the island!
Mountain myrtle, also known as peach myrtle, is also called mountain pear by some people in the Fujia Village area.
Although it's called a pear, it's actually about the size of a wild jujube. The fruit is purplish-black, and when fully ripe, it's very sweet with almost no sour or astringent taste.
There aren't many of these on the mountains near Fujia Village. In the past, they would be picked clean by the children who had been waiting for a long time before they were fully ripe. Fu Wan only went to pick them with Fu Ming when she was a child. Later, when she grew up, she was too embarrassed to compete with the children who were younger than her.
Although wild berries are delicious, they should not be eaten in large quantities, as they can easily cause constipation. This is because wild berries are also a traditional Chinese medicine that can be used to stop diarrhea, replenish blood, calm the nerves, and nourish the kidneys.
Not only can the fruit of the wild raspberry be used medicinally, but its branches and leaves can also be used. Its leaves, when crushed, can be used to stop bleeding in emergencies, making it one of the herbal remedies available for use in the wild.

Fu Ming not only picked a lot of wild berries, but also climbed the tree and picked more than twenty coconuts.
Lunch is ready now. Everyone is eating fish, gnawing on crabs, breaking open mantis shrimp, and taking a sip of coconut juice.
With the occasional sea breeze blowing by, Robert sat on the dry rocks and sighed.
"Wan, I think you're right, this island is very beautiful!"
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow and followed up on his words, asking, "Why are you suddenly saying that?"
Robert shook his head, looking bewildered.
“I don’t know either,” Jack said. “That’s the magic of China.”
Fu Wan laughed out loud. If his Chinese was good, he would learn a word.
That's bliss!
At this moment, everyone on the island agrees that they are comfortable!
After laughing, Fu Wan also picked up the coconut beside her and took a sip.
It has to be said that such refreshing coconut juice, paired with a hearty lunch, and the sea swaying in the wind in the distance, such a beautiful scene not only made Robert Tom and his group feel comfortable, but also made Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui close their eyes in comfort.
If there were a few deck chairs on the island, along with a few large parasols, wow, Fu Wan felt she could lie on the beach for an entire afternoon!
After lunch, the group put out the fire, dismantled the stove, and then boarded the boat with the remaining harvest.
They were standing in a place facing west, and after lunch, the sun on the beach grew even stronger.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu played all morning, and after lunch they felt a little sleepy, so as soon as they got on the ship they went to the rest cabin to sleep.
Robert and his friends, on the other hand, couldn't wait to take out their fishing rods.
"Wan, let's go fishing together!"
Fu Wan sighed helplessly. Well, the morning was for beachcombing, and the afternoon was for fishing!
