What could be more exhilarating than this moment!
Fu Wan's bad mood vanished instantly, and the bad luck of encountering the cannonball fish transformed into the joy of a bountiful harvest!
It came so easily; who would have thought I'd run into Rat Spot before I left!
Bai Qianzhou swam over at this moment. He saw that Fu Wan was still circling around the crevice of the reef and thought that she had encountered some trouble.
So he hurriedly grabbed a harpoon and rushed over to help.
Fu Wan was looking for tools when she saw him and her eyes lit up instantly.
To be precise, it was when they saw the harpoon in his hand that their eyes lit up.
She reached out to Bai Qianzhou, who hesitated for half a second before handing over the harpoon in his hand.
God knows he almost grabbed his hand just now.
Fu Wan didn't care about any of that at the moment. She took the harpoon, quickly found the right angle, and prepared to spear the fish.
Bai Qianzhou swam forward to help, but once he got to the top, he realized that it was pitch black in the crevices of the rocks and he couldn't see anything!
I don't know how Fu Wan saw through the situation inside!
Fu Wan naturally couldn't tell him how sharp her eyes were. She inserted the harpoon into the crevice of the reef, skillfully bypassing the triggerfish that had already stopped struggling, and then aimed it at the grouper in the corner and speared it forcefully.
The rat-like creature immediately struggled, but Fu Wan held onto the harpoon tightly and did not let go. After only two minutes, Fu Wan waved to Bai Qianzhou beside her and then pointed to the harpoon in her hand.
Bai Qianzhou had already reeled in the harpoon line down to less than a meter.
He handed the speargun back to Fu Wan, then stepped forward and grasped the harpoon.
The two worked together very well, and Fu Wan didn't need to use any more gestures.
Considering that Bai Qianzhou would soon need to go up for air, Fu Wan quickly adjusted the direction of the cannonball fish and then brought out the fish arrow and the cannonball fish.
When Bai Qianzhou pulled out the harpoon with almost no effort, he saw the rat-like spots on the harpoon that had pierced the fish's body.
Knowing there were two fish in the crevice of the reef, Bai Qianzhou never expected that the other fish would be a valuable grouper!
Although he didn't know many kinds of sea fish, he did recognize the expensive and delicious grouper.
Bai Qianzhou was also feeling the joy of a bountiful harvest. He took off the grouper and prepared to put it in his net, only to find that his net was already full. Not to mention fish, he couldn't even fit a single conch shell in it.
Fortunately, Fu Wan had a spare net bag on her. The two quickly stuffed the triggerfish and the grouper into the new net bag, then tightened the net rope and began to float.
It wasn't that Fu Wan was eager to go back, but rather that the action just now was quite significant, and the blood of the rat-spotted fish and the triggerfish had already spread out with the flow of seawater.
The smell of blood is a favorite of many fish in the sea. Sure enough, in the water not far away, Fu Wan could already see several sharks of indistinct size approaching.
However, it wasn't a big problem. Sharks are cautious during the day, and Fu Wan had a harpoon and a short knife, so she wasn't too afraid.
The two quickly surfaced, and Bai Qianzhou pulled out the breathing tube and took a deep breath.
Fu Wan did the same. The two smiled at each other, said nothing more, and swam towards the sea one after the other.
"Mingzhu, look! Isn't that my mother coming back!"
And Uncle Little White is back too!
"Yes, they're back! That's great! Let's go tell Auntie and the others!"
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were standing on the reef, eagerly waiting. When they saw two figures appear on the sea, the girls jumped down from the reef with great joy, unable to wait to tell everyone the good news.
On the island, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were already preparing lunch. Fu Ming and Boss Fu led Jack and the other two to set up a simple stove and then gathered some branches and dry leaves to start a fire.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan went to quickly clean half a bucket of crabs and mantis shrimp, and then steamed them in a stainless steel pot they brought from the boat.
Limited resources on the island meant that things were made as simply as possible.
But the ingredients they prepared were anything but simple, including crabs and mantis shrimp. If it weren't for the fact that the clams and razor clams they dug up needed to be soaked in seawater to expel the sand, Ye Xiaocui would have been steaming them by now.
Fortunately, there were plenty of crabs and mantis shrimp, especially several plump swimming crabs with large shells, which looked very appetizing.
It's probably the season for swimming crabs, so I'm sure I'll be able to catch a lot of them on my next fishing trip.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu's voices were quite loud. Upon hearing them, Fu Ming and the others immediately looked towards the sea and indeed saw the figures of Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou.
"Let's go, let's lend a hand to Awan and Xiaobai!"
Fu Ming pulled Qin Anning forward, with Robert, Jack Tom, and the other two following closely behind.
As Bai Qianzhou, dressed in a gray-black diving suit, drew closer, Robert couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Ming, didn't you say you didn't have a wetsuit? Why is this guy wearing one?"
Fu Ming inwardly cursed, "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Anning earnestly tried to defuse the situation, saying, "Oh, my cousin brought his own wetsuit; he's also a diving enthusiast."
“Relly?” Robert was skeptical.
"certainly!"
Fu Ming nodded emphatically, then secretly gave Qin Anning an approving look.
As expected of his wife, she knew exactly how to cooperate with him to fool Robert without even needing to give him prior notice.
What do you call this? This is called perfect understanding!
Seeing the serious expressions on Fu Ming and Qin Anning's faces, Robert had no choice but to believe it.
At the same time, he felt a pang of regret. He should have borrowed the diving suit from Bai Qianzhou instead of Fu Ming. That way, he might be the one returning home with Fu Wan with a full load of treasures!
Before Robert could suppress the bitterness in his heart, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were already within reach.
Fu Ming hurriedly reached out and took the nets from the two men.
"Wow, I knew we'd have a good haul! Tsk tsk, even some rat spots!"
"Of course! You should see who made the move!"
Fu Wan proudly raised her chin, and Qin Anning couldn't stop laughing at the two siblings.
Grouper is great, she likes to eat grouper too!
"There are quite a few mantis shrimps here, brother. Hurry up and steam them so we can eat them soon."
Steam the grouper while it's still fresh, and check if Dad's the seven-star crabs are poisonous!
After Fu Wan got ashore, she kept giving instructions, and Fu Ming nodded repeatedly. Just then, Boss Fu also came over carrying an empty bucket.
Seeing his daughter looking radiant, Bai Qianzhou looking perfectly fine, and Fu Ming carrying two large nets full of fish, Boss Fu nodded in approval.
No wonder she's his daughter, a descendant of Hai Mengzi.
However, when he saw the cannonball fish that took up most of the net, Boss Fu frowned subconsciously.
"Ah Wan, why did you shoot this cannonball fish back too?"
This fish is not to be trifled with; it's incredibly fierce. Most importantly, the taste and price are both terrible!
