Chapter 373 Blue Tears



The consequence of cooking such a large meal was that everyone in the Fu family, including Wangcai and Xiaohuang, was stuffed.

Wangcai ate his fill of bones, while Xiaohuang ate rabbit meat that Fu Ming had specially chopped into small pieces.

Yes, this thing actually eats rabbit meat, of course, it eats raw rabbit meat.

Now it knows that the Fu family dislikes rats, so at most it will either catch a rat and throw it out, or eat it outside before coming back. It will never peck at rat meat in front of everyone.

"Wan, why don't we go for a walk?"

Ye Xiaocui didn't expect to eat so much tonight. The main reason was that the Three-Knife Fish King truly lived up to its name. With a little soy sauce and wasabi, the taste was so fresh and sweet that it was impossible to stop eating.

Fu Wan also felt a bit uncomfortable from being so full. "Okay, let's all go for a stroll on the beach!"

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu didn't want to sleep, and upon hearing Fu Wan's words, they immediately cheered and ran ahead.

The beach was still crowded because it was autumn, and the seaside was at its coolest.

So, unsurprisingly, Fu Wan ran into quite a few people here, including Fu Qing and her daughter Wang Xiuer, as well as Aunt Zhao and Lin Qiuju.

There was even a married couple, Fu Dazhuang and Wang Panlan.

Although Fu Da Laizi had returned, it didn't seem to affect Wang Panlan. She still had a smile on her face and unconsciously touched her stomach.

It looks like there's good news.

However, there is a local custom of not telling outsiders if a woman is less than three months pregnant, so Fu Wan didn't ask any more questions and just smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Mom, look, the ocean is glowing!"

"Yes, godmother, look! It's emitting a blue light over there!"

The children suddenly shouted excitedly, and Fu Wan looked in the direction they were pointing.

Sure enough, several streaks of blue light flowed in the seawater that kept lapping against the beach. The light disappeared in an instant, and then several more streaks emerged one after another.

At this time, the beach was illuminated by lights on the docks, so it wasn't very bright.

In this environment, the blue hues constantly emerging with the seawater appear eerily ghostly, both magnificent and mysterious. The dreamlike blue tears—"So beautiful!"

Fu Ling muttered to herself, trying to run towards the sea, but Fu Wan grabbed her clothes by the back of her neck the next moment.

"We can't go!"

"Why!"

Fu Ling was a little confused. Before, she could play in the water whenever her mother was around.

Furthermore, Fu Wan has already taught them basic swimming skills.

"This stuff is poisonous."

Fu Wan pulled her aside, and upon hearing Fu Wan say that it was poisonous, Fu Ming, who was originally heading towards the sea, also took several steps back.

After all, the last time Fu Wan said something was poisonous was that deadly cooked crab.

Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Fu Wan quickly explained, "This is blue tears. When I said it's poisonous, I meant it contains some harmful substances."

Blue tears are actually a very common sight at the beach. Fu Wan had seen it many times in her previous life. Although she was always speechless with amazement at its beauty, after learning the reason for its formation, she dared not step into the seawater when blue tears were forming.

The appearance of blue tears is mainly caused by the massive proliferation of Noctiluca scintillans. Those things that look luminous are actually seaweed hidden in the seawater.

Noctiluca scintillans is a large single-celled organism with a particularly strong reproductive capacity, and it is also one of the world's major red tide organisms.

Noctiluca scintillans contains a large amount of fluorescent substances, which emit a light blue light when it is hit by waves.

If there is a particularly large amount of Noctiluca scintillans, this light will continue uninterrupted. When all this light comes together, it creates the beautiful scene they are seeing now.

However, when Fu Wan said it was poisonous, she was not referring to the fact that the Noctiluca scintillans itself was toxic. Rather, it was because Noctiluca scintillans is a type of microorganism that absorbs oxygen from the seawater during its mass reproduction process, as well as various other microorganisms hidden in the ocean.

Many of these microorganisms are even toxic bacteria, so if Fu Ling and the others step on them barefoot, the children's resistance is already weak, and they may experience itchy skin and rashes.

Hearing Fu Wan say this, Fu Ling's face also showed fear.

Especially after learning that behind these beautiful blue tears were so many invisible algae, everyone lost even more interest in getting close to the seawater.

Fu Laoda frowned as he looked at the blue light that kept appearing in the distance. In the eyes of their generation, this phenomenon was not called blue tears, but red tide.

And what my daughter said was right. The appearance of this red tide is not a good thing. Usually, after this thing appears, there will always be some dead fish and shrimp on the beach.

According to Fu Wan, the reason why the fish and shrimp died was because the Noctiluca scintillans absorbed oxygen from the seawater.

I wonder what the beach will look like tomorrow under these circumstances.

"By the way, Dad, I saw cirrus clouds when I went out to sea today. I guess there will be a typhoon in the next couple of days."

Fu Wan suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly told Old Master Fu.

Fu Laoda went out for a run today and didn't check the weather forecast.

"With cirrostratus clouds, the typhoon probably can't be far away. Let's take a couple of days off and not go out to sea for the next few days."

It's good that he can spend more time on his children's new house.

Fu Wan nodded in agreement, worried that Boss Fu might not know and might be planning to go to sea again.

But when Ye Xiaocui heard about going to sea, she remembered something else.

"The net at home might need to be replaced. The one you brought back yesterday doesn't look like it can be repaired. Maybe we should just buy two new ones."

Buying two nets would only cost a dozen yuan, so Fu Wan readily agreed.

Jiang Chunlan, who was not far away, also came out for a stroll. When she saw the group, she quickly walked over.

"Xiao Cui, tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month, do you want to go to the Mazu Temple to burn incense?"

Ye Xiaocui thought about it for a moment. There was no need to go to sea, and there was not much work to do in the fields, so she nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, it's a good opportunity for everyone to go and burn incense and donate money to the Goddess Mazu."

Fu Laoda looked troubled. He had just planned to go to the new house tomorrow, but if he went to burn incense for Mazu, it would take up half a day of his time.

However, he didn't dare to disagree with his wife's decision, considering that their future shipping business still depended on the protection of Mazu.

It's fine to go for half a day.

Fu Wan did not refuse, but she was planning something in her heart.

That means she wants to buy a car.

She should have a lot of money coming into her bank account right now, but she has very few places to spend it.

It's good to buy a car for home, it will be more convenient to go to the city and such.

And most importantly, the whole family doesn't need to ride a tractor when traveling.

It's fine now that the weather is cool, but when winter comes, riding a motorcycle or tractor will make your teeth chatter from the cold.
