There's a big fish?
After listening, Fu Ming and Fu Wan looked at each other in bewilderment. They had looked around and not only did they not see any fish, but the seawater in the trench was also extremely calm.
Seeing the affirmative looks on Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu's faces, Fu Wan began to doubt the calm and tranquility before her.
Could there really be fish?
"Hey, are there any fish? I'll go in and check with a net, then I'll know."
Fu Ming took the net from Fu Ling and then stepped into the trench.
His niece said there were fish, so he had to look for them carefully no matter what!
Before coming out today, Fu Wan had changed into a pair of water shoes that reached almost to her knees. Seeing that the seawater only reached her calves after Fu Ming stepped into the trench, she thought about it and simply stepped in as well.
Seeing her daughter's expectant eyes, she couldn't let her child go home disappointed!
"Wait, let me find where this fish is hiding!"
The trench that Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu had their eye on was actually quite large. It was more like a small pond than a trench.
At the end of the trench, there were several reefs piled up. Fu Wan stepped into the trench and felt that all she could see around her was seawater.
Oh dear, let's look for it!
Fu Ming searched around with a flashlight. The visibility in the trench was quite good, and he could see the bottom of the trench by shining the light on it.
But if people walk across, their feet kick up mud and sand, making the seawater very murky.
"Haha, I see the fish!"
A few minutes later, Fu Ming, who had been looking down at the fish, suddenly laughed. He then picked up a net and quickly dipped it into the water. When he picked the net up again, there was a yellow and blue fish inside.
The fish was only the size of a palm. After Fu Ming scooped it up, it immediately began to struggle violently in the net.
"Wow, isn't that a celestial dog's penis?"
Fu Wan saw the fish clearly. The Tengu Tang is actually a type of ornamental fish. When it is young, the fish is dark gray all over, with blue stripes on its dorsal fin and slightly orange stripes on its tail fin.
When it grows up, Tengu's tail will bend into a harp shape and develop two orange spots.
At the same time, Tengu's mouth will turn orange-red, and a black spot will grow between its eyes and mouth, with a bright yellow border, making it look very beautiful.

Although the tengu-shaped lizard that Fu Ming fished out was only the size of a palm, it was already an adult, and its colorful plumage was indeed beautiful.
However, this little Karami doesn't seem to have anything to do with the big fish that Fu Ling mentioned!
"Children, is this the big fish you're talking about?"
Upon hearing Fu Wan's question, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu shifted their gaze from the Heavenly Dog Hanging.
"No, the one we saw was this big, wasn't it, Mingzhu!"
As Fu Ling spoke, she gestured, and Qin Mingzhu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's that big!"
The two children gestured, and Fu Wan, observing their movements, deduced that the fish must be at least half a meter long.
Alright, let's keep looking!
Fu Wan picked up the net and had just taken a step when a loud bang suddenly came from about ten meters away from her.
"Splash!"
Fu Wan and Fu Ming immediately looked over at the sound and saw that the seawater in the ditch was rippling continuously on the edge of the reef ten meters away, which clearly indicated that something was there.
"Fish, a big fish!"
Fu Ling looked excited, and the two children immediately ran over.
Fu Ming immediately threw the net aside, judging from the size of the fish, he realized that the net was useless.
Fu Wan slowly walked over at this time, and the place where the commotion came from was in the direction of the pile of rocks.
The trench over there is narrower than this one, and if we make too much noise walking across, we might scare the fish away.
As Fu Wan walked, she carefully searched for the fish. The commotion just now could not have been made by a small fish, but if it was a big fish, it should have been visible!
After all, the water in the trench isn't deep!
Unless the fish's color made it easy to hide, they wouldn't have missed the big fish during their quick glance.
With this analysis, Fu Wan looked at the bottom of the trench more seriously, and Fu Ming slowly approached as well. But he was a man after all, and no matter how light his movements were, they were still much heavier than Fu Wan's.
"Splash!"
There was another sound, and this time, both Fu Wan and Fu Ming saw the fish's tail.
That really is a big fish!
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were extremely excited, their little hands clenched into fists nervously, as if afraid the fish would escape.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming had just arrived at the spot where the fish had appeared. Suddenly, Fu Wan felt something bump into her leg, and she immediately reached out to grab it.
The fish was quite clever; just as Fu Wan reached out her hand, it swam away from her with a quick flick of its tail.
Fu Ming then saw the fish clearly and lunged towards it.
The two siblings worked together seamlessly, one blocking the left side and the other the right. Fortunately, the fish was startled and swam into the crevice of the reef. The two siblings took a few steps forward and blocked the fish directly in the crevice.
The crevice between the rocks is quite narrow, appearing to be less than ten centimeters wide.
If you reach out your hand across this width, you could easily get scratched by the sharp edges of the rocks if you're not careful.
Fu Wan had a sudden inspiration and directly asked Fu Ling to hand her the net.
"Brother, you stay here and watch over them, I'll go chase the fish away."
"good!"
Fu Ming responded, took the net and used it to block the gap, while Fu Wan climbed onto the reef and picked up a branch to start herding the fish.
The sound of the branches hitting the water was already quite loud, and the fish had already been frightened. Fu Wan's action startled it so much that it darted into Fu Ming's net.
The net was too small to cover the fish, but Fu Ming wasn't stupid. He immediately threw away the wooden stick of the net and grabbed the fish with both hands like iron clamps.
"Haha, it's a black cat!"
It was a fairly large black-haired fish.
"Black-haired fish" is the name given to the area near Fujia Village. The scientific name of this fish is *Siniperca chuatsi*, and in Guangdong Province, many people also call it "Linbang".
The black-haired fish is purplish-black all over, with an oval-shaped body and many black spots on its sides. This fish generally lives in rocky areas and feeds on algae and small fish and shrimp.

February to June is the spawning season for black bream, and also when they are at their fattest. At this time, the black bream are medium-sized, but their backs are thicker than those of larger fish.
Most importantly, the black-haired fish is rich in fish oil. Although its skin is black, its flesh is snow-white and oily.
Blackfish is also very nutritious, and it tastes amazing whether steamed as sashimi or grilled.
However, because this fish likes to eat algae, it has a slight seaweed flavor. If it's not properly handled and kept fresh, its taste will be greatly diminished.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu weren't exaggerating; the black-haired fish in Fu Ming's hand was about forty centimeters long and weighed at least three kilograms.
