After receiving news from Lu Wuyai, Su Xi picked up the wooden stick with snake meat on it and started eating, her expression one of pure satisfaction.
As Su Xi ate, she hummed a song under her breath. "Brother Lu, this roasted snake meat is really delicious. I'm going to eat my fill of all the dried snake meat from now on!"
Lu Wuyai glanced coldly at Su Xi and said ruthlessly, "Miss Su, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. There are many parasites in snake meat, I heard there are dozens of kinds. High-temperature roasting and frying can't kill them. You're asking for death if you still eat them!"
Su Xi still had that indifferent look on her face!
Just then, Gu Yuxin shouted, "Miss Su, Brother Lu, come quickly! Come and see!"
Lu Wuyai and Su Xi thought something had happened to Gu Yuxin, so they rushed over. After a while, the two arrived at Yuxin's place.
There was an old building with three broken cement walls, no roof, and covered with a strange green plant!
Su Xi, being the curious child she is, asked: What is this?
Gu Yuxin proudly said, "This is an abandoned building I found these past few days. I renovated it and turned it into a new campsite. The roof is made of seaweed, which has a very strong wind resistance. Even if it's hit by a storm, not a drop of water or a wisp of wind can penetrate it. Aren't I a natural design genius!"
Looking at the old houses left behind by the times, Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "This place should be some kind of abandoned observation station, but I don't know why it was built on this island. The walls are still quite stable after the holiday, and Yuxin also replaced the roof. Overall, it is habitable."
Gu Yuxin said, "Okay, then you can pack up and move over. I'll get you some seaweed and fix the walls later."
Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Gu Yuxin said, "Oh right, I also found a small sampan over there. It was of poor quality and was probably discarded by the fishermen there after they finished using it. Life at sea is really tiring and boring, so this can be used for fishing or surfing."
The next afternoon arrived, and with nothing to do, Lu Wuyai decided to go out to sea again.
Gu Yuxin's small sampan was not working properly, so she temporarily used it as his vehicle.
He slowly rowed his small sampan, carrying the little count (dog), fishing rod, and some fishing gear, towards the sea.
There are a few indigenous families on the northwest side of this island, who are probably also trapped or wandered here!
Over the past few days, they've become quite familiar with Lu Wuyai and Su Xi, greeting each other with, "Wuyai, are you going on vacation in your little sampan? You're living the good life!"
Lu Wuyai took a bite of the food in his hand and said with a smile, "Enjoy life, Auntie. There's no need to risk your life too much. Life and death are in the hands of fate, and fortune is found in danger. Just enjoy the present moment."
The woman shook her head and said, "Auntie doesn't have time to enjoy the present. I have to work hard, and there's nothing I can do even when I'm tired."
Although she said it would be more tiring, her tone was not heavy at all, but rather one of pride.
It's not easy to raise a college student in a fishing village. The fishermen have also come to understand that knowledge can change one's destiny. They can't get rich by the sea, so they can only place their hopes on their children's education.
Behind them, a cacophony of voices filled the air. Lu Wuyai smiled as he rowed the boat. The midday sun shone brightly, and the small sampan sailed against the waves into the sea.
When there were no boats around, he would go into the water for a spin. While he was in the water, the golden core condensed water vapor more quickly, and his vision could see far through the seawater, directly observing the situation on the seabed.
The situation in the coastal areas is really bad. There are still some small fish and shrimp in the sea, but they haven't even formed any schools yet. Fishermen rely on fishing nets to catch fish for food. The small fish and shrimp are completely useless.
As he ventured deeper into the sea, the number of fish increased. He saw several black sea bream and a small group of crucian carp on the seabed.
Red sea bream are a type of fish with high economic value. They are relatively common in a certain country and are distributed in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea. They are warm-temperate bottom-dwelling fish that prefer to inhabit rocky reefs or sandy/muddy bottoms. They feed on small fish, shrimp, shellfish, and annelids.
Lu Wuyai brought out chicken intestines, hung a small piece on the fishhook and lowered it down, then sucked water in the water while waiting for the fish to bite.
As a result, the red sea bream learned how to handle it. When the chicken intestines fell down, they not only didn't take the bait, but they all ran away...
His sea voyage was sure to be rewarding. While searching the seabed, he spotted a reef area, so he rowed his boat, towed it to the reef, and hooked it onto the reef.
Rocky reefs and sandy bottoms are ideal for fishing. Fish such as sea bream, sea bass, and mullet are found there. I like living in such places.
In order to catch more fish, Lu Wuyai opened the fence, chopped up some chicken intestines, and threw them into the water to attract fish and shrimp from the surrounding waters.
His strategy worked, and soon some sea bass and snapper were spotted, a small group of fish making the news.
Just as he was about to make a big splash, he suddenly discovered that the school of small fish had all dispersed, and all the fish that had been attracted by the chicken intestines had run away.
“It’s very exquisite.” Lu Wuyai was startled.
What shocked him even more was what followed. The fish were able to escape not because they had discovered the trap, but because a huge dark shadow appeared behind it—a massive creature had materialized.
Lu Wuyai had excellent eyesight underwater, so he could see the big fish clearly as soon as it appeared.
By this time, he was already offshore. Generally, black sea bream and black bass are considered large fish here, but they are incomparable to this suddenly appearing fish. This fish was 1.78 meters long.
Judging from its appearance, it has a round and flat body, a thick trunk, a flat and wide head, a very imposing big mouth, and a pair of strange little eyes.
Judging from its body color, this fish has a dark brown back, light brown sides, and a white belly. There are many color bands on its body: firstly, a black lateral band extends from the mouth to the tail, with lighter colors above and below it. Secondly, below the light band is a very narrow, dark band.
To give an analogy, this fish is like a zebra in the sea.
The giant fish has a majestic appearance and a domineering style. After it appears, it stirs up the seawater and dashes through the water like a sharp arrow. It first drives away the bass and snapper, then chases and eats the chicken intestines that are slowly sinking in the sea.
Lu Wuyai quickly recognized it as a moray eel, a very large moray eel.
Seeing the enormous moray eel energized him. If he caught this fish, his trip to sea wouldn't have been in vain.
This type of conger eel is quite large, less than two meters long, and estimated to weigh fifty or sixty kilograms. It could fetch a good price if caught.
