It was only then that Fu Ming remembered why Fu Liang hadn't come out with them, and he immediately wanted to slap himself.
"Oh dear, I forgot about that. Little kids are just a bit harder to take care of. When we get back, I'll share some seafood with them!"
"Yes, sun clams taste good when dried. Let's not sell these. We'll dry them and eat them ourselves."
After saying that, Fu Wan looked thoughtfully at the sea. There were already so many sun and moon clams pushed up by the waves, so who knows how many more were on the seabed.
"Brother, have you checked the weather these past few days? When are you planning to go out to sea for trawling?"
Fu Ming thought for a moment and replied, "The weather is alright. I was originally going to go tonight, but since we're out having fun anyway, let's go out to sea tomorrow night at the latest!"
Fu Wan agreed, "Alright, then we'll have a boat come and tow it around. Maybe we'll get a pleasant surprise."
A different kind of surprise? Fu Ming understood the meaning behind Fu Wan's words.
"Ah Wan, are you saying there are still sun and moon clams down there?"
"There are definitely some. There are an unusually large number of sun clams here. Look, we've already collected two buckets of them. There must be many more on the seabed here."
Fu Ming immediately perked up.
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll definitely come back tomorrow to haul in a net."
After saying that, he felt a little regretful.
"Oh dear, why didn't we bring the trawl net on board today? Otherwise, after lunch, I could have taken the boat and hauled it around!"
"Haha, who can say for sure? We came out to have fun today, who would have thought we'd run into a scallop tide."
"It's alright, it's great if we have some, but it's not a big deal if we don't. These scallops aren't going to make us a lot of money anyway."
Fu Wan offered a few words of comfort, then glanced around and, seeing that most of the scallops in the mud had been picked up, stood up and urged Fu Ming to go back.
"Brother, let's go back, Mother has already started a fire!"
"Okay, sure." Fu Ming picked up the two buckets of scallops, then glanced at the coconut trees not far away and muttered to himself as he walked.
"Ah Wan, since lunch isn't ready yet, why don't we go pick some coconuts? I'm dying of thirst this morning."
Fu Wan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Didn't we bring water? Why aren't you drinking any?"
Fu Ming clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Water is nowhere near as good as coconut juice. After you finish the coconut juice, I'll keep the meat inside and make some soup to send to your sister-in-law later."
Well, I've been shown up again.
Fu Wan was also helpless. When she returned to the beach, Ye Xiaocui had already found some rocks and built a simple stove.
With the stainless steel pot placed on top, Wen Yue glanced curiously at the bucket upon seeing Fu Wan and the other person return, and was immediately drawn to the beautiful appearance of the Sun and Moon Clams.
Before she could pick it up and examine it closely, Fu Wan had already called out to Fu Ling.
"Lingling, Mingzhu, let's go pick coconuts!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu immediately put down their fishing rods and hurriedly climbed down the rocks to run towards Fu Wan.
Su Ran and Wen Yue came over when they heard that they were going to pick coconuts.
There were quite a few coconut trees growing here. Fu Wan found a coconut tree that was about four or five meters tall and climbed up it in no time, to the incredulous gazes of Wen Yue and Su Ran.
However, Fu Wan didn't feel anything. In her opinion, she and Fu Ming had been climbing this kind of tree since they were little. Not to mention four or five meters, they could even climb trees more than ten meters high if they gritted their teeth.
But there's no need for that right now. Who would bother climbing ten meters when they can pick a coconut by climbing only four or five meters?
After easily climbing the tree, Fu Wan first steadied herself by holding onto the trunk, then looked down at the people waiting below.
"Move aside, don't stand so close, or you might get hit by falling coconuts!"
"Okay, got it!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ran hurriedly called Wen Yue and pulled Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu back.
Once they had retreated five or six meters away, Fu Wan pulled out the knife she carried with her and prepared to cut the coconut.
These coconuts are actually very easy to cut, and Fu Wan's knife is very sharp. She just aimed at the coconut stem and flicked it hard. In just two moments, the two coconuts fell to the ground with a thud.
Fu Ling's eyes lit up, and she was about to run forward to pick it up when Fu Wan's voice floated down again.
"Wait, I'll cut two more!"
Fu Ling stopped abruptly, looking up at Fu Wan in the tree with admiration in her eyes.
Fu Wan bit the knife, then nimbly spun halfway around the tree trunk.
Then everyone noticed that there were also a few coconuts growing on the other side, which looked like they were edible.
After adjusting her position, Fu Wan hugged the tree trunk tightly to steady herself, and with her other hand, she took out a knife and began to cut coconuts.
She moved quickly; the people under the tree only saw a few flashes of silver light under the sunlight, followed by several heavy thuds as objects fell to the ground.
"Alright, you can pick them up now!"
Fu Wan put away her knife with satisfaction. In less than ten minutes, she had harvested all the coconuts from the tree.
"Ah Wan, come down quickly!"
Su Ran was worried and couldn't help but advise Fu Wan after glancing at her. The tree was so tall; just looking at it sent chills down her spine, let alone climbing it.
"Okay, I'll come down now."
Fu Wan verbally agreed, but before climbing down the tree, she deliberately glanced at Fu Ming in the tree next to her.
His situation was similar to his own; the coconut tree, which had originally held five or six coconuts, was now empty, and he had already put away his knife and was preparing to climb down.
Seeing this, Fu Wan sheathed her knife. Just as she was about to climb down, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of her eye.
Huh, another dark figure?
Fu Wan looked up; the sunlight was too strong, so she squinted and looked in that direction.
Perhaps because she was standing at a higher vantage point, Fu Wan could see more clearly this time. There was indeed a conspicuous dark shape on the blue sea not far away.
Fu Wan frowned instantly. She knew what a whale looked like, and the dark shadows that kept popping up from the water were clearly not whales.
But the seal didn't resemble anything, and it wasn't even the sea lizard she had seen recently.
Moreover, that thing kept moving forward, and Fu Wan felt that it looked somewhat familiar. In order to get a clearer look, she climbed up another half meter.
Once the coconut tree's branches and leaves completely blocked the glaring sunlight for her, this time, she finally saw clearly and remembered what that thing was.
But soon, Fu Wan's expression froze.
Sir, how could it be that thing!
"Wan, why aren't you coming down yet?"
Fu Ming had already climbed down from the tree. He patted the dust off his clothes and, seeing that Fu Wan was still hanging on the tree, looked up and asked with some confusion.
The next second, Fu Ming, who was about to pick up a coconut, heard Fu Wan's murmur very clearly.
"Wild boar? How could it be a wild boar?"
Wild boar?
Fu Ming was confused and thought he had misheard.
"Ah Wan, what are you saying? What wild boar? Where would a wild boar come from at sea?"
Right, where would wild boars come from at sea?
Fu Wan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but no matter how many times she looked, the dark shadow with long tusks on the sea was clearly a wild boar.
