Fu Wan swam along with a fork, encountering many small fish, but mostly mackerel.
She guessed that these mackerel were probably being chased by some big fish, which is why there was such a large group of mackerel here.
When they were underwater, she could even see the hand-thrown nets that Boss Fu and his men kept throwing down.
The small mackerel wasn't Fu Wan's target fish, so she turned and swam a little further away. Perhaps because nets were being cast here, there weren't many large fish on the seabed.
However, just as she approached a large rock to check if there were any fish in the cave, she suddenly felt two pats on her back.
?! ?
∑(?Д?)
Even though she had been frightened many times before, Fu Wan still felt a chill run down her spine. When she turned around, she saw that it was indeed her older brother.
Fu Ming excitedly showed his haul to Fu Wan, and Fu Liang was not to be outdone; even the oversized waterproof goggles he'd gotten from Xue Qing couldn't hide the joy on their faces.
Fu Wan looked closely and exclaimed, "Oh my, no wonder the two brothers are so happy!"
Fu Ming has several large abalone with three heads, two or three scallops, and two single-nosed fish weighing about two pounds each.
In Fu Liang's net were several palm-sized mantis shrimps, a few spider snails, and two parrotfish weighing at least a pound each.
It can be said that both of them achieved very good results.
After showing Fu Ming and Fu Liang their catch to Fu Wan, they prepared to surface. Fu Ming had spent a considerable amount of time swimming in the sea yesterday and his energy hadn't fully recovered. If it weren't for the allure of so much seafood, he wouldn't have had the strength to go back into the water.
As for Fu Liang, although he was excited as it was his first time fishing, he was also a little tired after being in the water for more than half an hour.
The two could only sigh as they watched the sea fish still swimming around on the seabed. They could catch all the fish, but if they didn't get on the boat to rest soon, they would lose their lives.
Seeing that the two older brothers were about to return to the ship, Fu Wan did not let them off the hook. She immediately told them to take their bag of little green dragons with them, so that she wouldn't have to carry that thing around.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang were full of admiration when they saw the lobsters in the net.
My sister is really something else; that big lobster she caught was probably the biggest baby lobster they'd ever seen.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang left carrying their things, while Fu Wan picked up a harpoon and began her own fish-hunting adventure.
On the boat, after hauling in several nets of mackerel, Boss Fu and his men were exhausted. Before they could even clear the hand-thrown nets, he, Jiang Wanghai, and Feng Ji were so tired that they had to sit down on the deck to rest.
Village Chief Fu couldn't bear to see the mackerel on the deck unsorted, so he moved a small stool over and sat down to help Ye Xiaocui and the other woman sort through them.
"Oh, now I know why you guys invited me on the boat for a ride. You were thinking of ways to get this old man to help with the chores, weren't you?"
Although Village Chief Fu said this, he couldn't stop smiling.
Fishermen, after not going out to sea to fish for several years, are really starting to miss it.
Although Liu San Niang used to be the one to select the fish at home, Old Village Chief Fu was also quite fast. He had only selected a small portion of the net when he caught up with the pace, and his speed was comparable to that of Ye Xiao Cui.
Upon hearing what Elder Fu, the village chief, said, Fu Laoda immediately grinned again.
"Look at you saying that! You're coming out to sea with us, how could I possibly treat you badly? Here's what we'll do: when Awan and the others come back from the water, whichever fish you like, pick it up for Niu Niu to eat!"
These words struck a chord with Village Chief Fu. If asked which younger generation he liked the most at home, it would be his three-year-old granddaughter, Niu Niu.
This child is not only good-looking, but also has a sweet tongue. He calls him "Grandpa" all day long, making Old Village Chief Fu so happy he's practically lost his bearings.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Even so, Village Chief Fu was aware of the situation. Although he had a good relationship with Fu Laoda's family, he wouldn't go too far when taking things from them.
When Feng Ji and Jiang Wanghai saw this scene, they also felt the harmonious atmosphere of Fu Family Village.
Just as the people on the boat were chatting and laughing, a "splash" sound rang out, and Fu Ming and Fu Liang emerged from the water.
Not seeing his daughter, Boss Fu vaguely guessed that she hadn't had enough fun yet.
"Dad, quickly take the things!"
Fu Ming handed over what he was holding, and Boss Fu and Jiang Wanghai took it from him.
They both know how to swim and are quite good swimmers, so they weren't afraid of falling off the boat while standing on the side.
Although Village Chief Fu was also a good swimmer, he was too old to do anything else, so he just sat aside and watched the excitement.
As for Feng Ji, his swimming skills were the worst among everyone present.
"Wow, you've got a good haul!"
Village Chief Fu saw the abalone in Fu Ming's hand immediately and called out.
This made Fu Ming very happy, and after climbing onto the boat, he started to show off again.
"You wouldn't believe it, there's a lot of seafood in this shallow area. Brother Liang and I were so busy on the seabed that we couldn't stop."
If I had the same swimming skills and stamina as A-Wan, I could have gotten so much more!
Fu Liang removed the breathing tube from his mouth and immediately nodded excitedly, saying, "Ah Ming is right! Going into the water to catch fish feels just like my mom and aunt shopping at the market, and the best part is it's free!"
Jiang Chunlan looked at her son's appearance and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You two hurry up and wipe the water off your faces. It's cold and windy, be careful not to catch a cold!"
After hearing this, Fu Ming and Fu Liang grabbed a dry towel to wipe their faces, while Boss Fu and Jiang Wanghai took the contents of their nets out and put them into the fish box.
Although there was a live water tank, he was too lazy to open it today since it wasn't a long sea voyage.
"My God, this is the first time I've ever seen such a big little azure dragon!"
Jiang Wanghai looked at the net bag of lobsters and couldn't help but sigh. These lobsters were all lively and jumping around, and each one was bigger than the last.
The biggest one, in particular, had a tail that was half the length of his arm.
Fu Laoda was beaming with pride. "This lobster was obviously caught by my daughter. She catches these things with ease!"
Speaking of Fu Wan, Jiang Wanghai realized that she hadn't come ashore yet.
Feng Ji walked over with a serious expression. "Comrade Fu, why hasn't Xiao Fu come up from the water yet?"
"Yes, it's been an hour, and she still hasn't taken on oxygen. I hope something bad will happen to her."
Should I go down and take a look?
Seeing the worry on Feng Ji and Jiang Wanghai's faces, Boss Fu sighed inwardly, "These two brothers are quite good."
He immediately shook his head, "No need, my daughter Wan is a very good swimmer, otherwise those bad people wouldn't want her to come out to sea with them."
"Just you wait and see, she'll come back once she's had her fill of playing down there. We'll just wait here!"
Jiang Wanghai and Feng Ji were also skeptical after hearing this.
Are there really people who are good swimmers and can stay underwater for an hour or two?
