"Woof!"
"Did something happen to my father?"
"Woof woof!"
Fu Wan was puzzled. No matter how smart Da Huang was, it couldn't speak human language.
But sometimes it has expressions just like a person.
In that instant, upon seeing the wolf-tooth eel with its tail sticking out, Da Huang immediately took a few steps back warily, looking apprehensive.
"Woof woof!"
Dahuang's condition was completely different from when it first got off the boat, and Fu Wan could hear a hint of urgency in its barks.
Could it be that Boss Fu discovered something?
Why didn't Boss Ke call them?
Fu Wan suddenly had a bad feeling. Boss Fu had gone to the other side of the island. If he encountered any danger, she didn't know if she could handle it all by herself.
Pshaw, she shouldn't think like that. Maybe Big Yellow just lured her there because of the seafood.
Despite feeling comforted, Fu Wan acted without the slightest hesitation.
She picked up the harpoon and dagger, and called to Fu Ming and the others to walk towards the back.
"Quick, go check on Dad, something must have happened!"
Fu Ming had great confidence in his father; sea snakes could never possibly bite him.
But when he caught a glimpse of the worry on Fu Wan's face, he swallowed back the nonchalant words he was about to say.
"Let's go, let's go see what we can find in the back!"
Seeing this, Jack, Robert, and Tom hurriedly poured all the crabs into a bucket, then carried the empty bucket and chased after Fu Wan.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu followed closely behind Qin Anning and Fu Ming, while Fu Wan ran ahead. Bai Qianzhou noticed her worry and, after thinking for a moment, offered words of comfort:
"Ah Wan, it's alright. Uncle is very experienced; he must have found something good!"
Fu Wan nodded haphazardly, and just as she was about to say something, Fu Laoda's figure suddenly appeared about a hundred meters ahead.
"father!"
"Huh?" Boss Fu, who was engrossed in his work, looked up in surprise. When he saw that it was Fu Wan and the others, he stood up and greeted them.
"Hey, you've come at the right time! Come on over, there are so many razor clams here!"
Fu Wan ran over in one breath, and only when she saw that Boss Fu was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dad, you scared me to death! Big Yellow just ran over to us and kept barking. I thought something had happened to you!"
"Didn't you say you'd call us back if you made any progress?"
Fu Wan had rushed over, and her back was covered in sweat. Fu Laoda wasn't angry at his daughter's scolding; he just chuckled to himself.
"I just sent Da Huang back to call for it. Besides, what could possibly happen to me? I didn't go into the water."
Look, the beach is full of razor clams! I can't keep up with picking them all up, and I'm worried they'll escape.
"You've come at the right time; this job is yours!"
Boss Fu stood up. His bucket was already more than half full of razor clams, and there were still many razor clams visible on the beach next to him.
But Fu Wan frowned because she saw a blue-black striped sea snake lying not far behind Boss Fu!
There really were sea snakes!
She said that she felt a sudden tightness in her chest, as if something was wrong!
"Father, what's with this snake?"
Boss Fu turned his head and secretly cursed.
Oh dear, how could he forget to hide this thing!
He just boasted that there was no danger here, and he was proven wrong in the blink of an eye.
"Ahem, well, this was an accident!"
Fu Laoda gave a slightly guilty smile, "This snake has no eyes; it just suddenly appeared."
Don't worry, I wasn't bitten. I brought a knife; one slash and it was in two.
Boss Fu's evasive eyes clearly showed he was lying.
Without saying a word, Fu Wan looked at his legs.
Fortunately, Boss Fu was also wearing rubber boots, but like Robert's boots, they also had a clear teeth mark on them.
"Was this a snake bite?"
Fu Laoda was surprised by his daughter's sharp eyes and immediately backed down.
"Yes, sigh, killing that snake did take some effort."
But don't worry, I wasn't bitten by this thing.
I was wearing tall boots, and with Big Yellow's help, I was finally able to chop up the snake.
I was just thinking about what the village chief had said about using sea snakes in medicine; otherwise, I would have thrown it away long ago.
After saying that, Boss Fu couldn't help but complain in his heart, it's all Boss Fu's fault, otherwise his daughter wouldn't have found out.
Oh my, his daughter is much scarier in this life than in the last. He gets a little nervous when she just frowns.
Fu Ming arrived as well, and upon hearing what Boss Fu said, he immediately stepped forward and pulled off Boss Fu's rubber shoes.
Fortunately, he didn't mind that Boss Fu's feet smelled. Fu Ming and Fu Wan looked around carefully and found that there were indeed no wounds on his legs, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell back.
Sea snakes are quite venomous; if bitten, the consequences can range from vomiting and diarrhea to amputation and death—it's no laughing matter.
Otherwise, Boss Fu wouldn't have thought of keeping this a secret in the first place.
But to be fair, these tall rubber boots are incredibly useful. Whether you're beachcombing on the beach or catching eels in the mountains and forests, they can prevent snakes from suddenly darting out from the roadside.
It's just that the weather is hot, and sometimes the clothes aren't very comfortable, but compared to my life, so what if it's uncomfortable?
Only after confirming that Boss Fu was not injured did Fu Wan feel relieved and begin picking up razor clams on the beach.
For some reason, these razor clams all popped up without needing any salt.
Not only are people picking up razor clams, but seabirds are also racing against time to eat them.
Their mouths are very sharp; with a strong grip, they can pull the razor clams out of the sand.
Then, with a few more forceful pecks, the razor clam's shell soon cracked open, revealing the clam meat inside, which was eventually swallowed by the seabird.
This beachcombing requires absolutely no skill; Fu Wan grabbed a handful in no time, just like picking peanut sprouts.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu stopped collecting seashells and joined the team collecting razor clams.
There were so many razor clams on this beach, and Fu Wan and her team had plenty of manpower, so in less than ten minutes they had already filled half a bucket with razor clams.
Robert and Tom initially found it amusing, but when they saw that even the thickest razor clams were only about the thickness of a finger, they were puzzled.
If a shellfish is as thick as a finger, you have to remove the shell before you can eat it. How much meat is actually edible?
They had never seen razor clams before, nor did they know how to eat them.
Compared to them, Jack was having a blast.
He had tasted the sweetness of razor clams when he last came to China. He had forgotten about this delicious little thing, but now that he saw the razor clams, he instantly remembered how delicious the stir-fried razor clams with scallions that Fu Wan made were.
Seeing how enthusiastically Jack was doing this, Robert couldn't help but ask:
"Hey Jack, is this little thing really tasty?"
Upon hearing this, Jack exaggeratedly gestured with his hands, "It's absolutely delicious!"
To put it in his newly learned Chinese, he wouldn't trade it for any amount of money!
Upon hearing this, Robert and Tom exchanged a glance, then swallowed hard before hastily quickening their movements.
The waves were still crashing onto the beach. As Fu Wan was picking things up, her ears suddenly twitched, and she caught something unusual in the sound of the waves.
