Chapter 117: Opening the Clam to Get the Pearl
The fish swam too fast, and she couldn't keep up with them, so she quickly gave up the idea of chasing them. She could only wander around the coral reef below, collecting some things she could take away, such as corals and small creatures in the coral bushes. There was even an octopus the size of a palm that grabbed the red coral in her hand and refused to let go, and she took it into the space.
Hua Yang was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She took in all the living things she had never seen before and swam from one end of the bottom of the coral reef to the other on bubbles.
Suddenly, she saw a somewhat strange reef below her. After a small fish lost its way and went underneath it, it suddenly closed up, raising up the fine sand on the seabed.
The fine sand soon sank, revealing the original appearance of the bottom of the coral reef.
Hua Yang was undoubtedly so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.
After the fine sand, the strange reef showed its original appearance. It was a thick, butterfly-shaped shell with a raised left shell and a flat right shell. The shell surface was a large light brown shell, larger than her head. What surprised her most was that the shape of this shell was almost the same as the two pearl shells she had stored in the space.
She approached without hesitation, reached out her hand to touch it, and then put it into the spiritual river in the space.
Not only that, as she approached, the surrounding sand was lifted up again, revealing the surrounding bottom. Surprisingly, around this large shell, there were many shells, some standing upright in the sand, some half buried in the sand, and some completely buried in the sand.
Some are brown, some are white, and some are big and some are small. The smallest one is about the same size as the one I picked up on Huayangan, and the largest one is about the size of a millstone.
"My goodness, if there were pearls inside, I wonder how big it would be!"
Hua Yang excitedly touched them one by one and put them into the Ling River one by one. She collected them all the way from the coral reefs, and after she finished collecting them, she counted them and found that there were a total of 56 shells of various sizes lying at the bottom of the Ling River.
Hua Yang looked at the shells at the bottom of the Ling River with satisfaction, looking into the pearls of all sizes inside them. While feeling happy, she also thought that she had been at the bottom of the sea for a long time. If she didn't go up, everyone would probably be worried. So she drove the deep blue bubble to rise quickly to the surface of the sea.
When she emerged from the sea, she found that she was actually so far away from the yacht. It was estimated to be about 200 to 300 meters away, and it was no longer in the direction of the original reef area. The underwater world is indeed a beautiful country that can easily make people lost.
She drove the blue bubble towards the yacht again. When she got closer, she heard her mother Li Xiaoyu's anxious shouts on the boat. Ten meters away, her father Hua Jianming and He Xiaojun were paddling in a kayak and calling her name.
"Dad, I'm here!"
Her voice was loud and clear, and soon reached Hua Jianming and Li Xiaoyu on the yacht. Li Xiaoyu was relieved until she saw that her daughter was fine in the water, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
Hua Jianming and He Xiaojun slid the kayak to Hua Yang's side, pulled Hua Yang up, and finally rowed towards the yacht.
Hua Yang returned to the yacht and saw her mother's anxious and crying face, feeling very guilty. She should have said hello to everyone before diving into the seabed, so as not to make her mother so worried.
So I comforted my mother and promised that I would never disappear without saying goodbye like this again.
She returned to the room, went to the space in a flash to change her wet clothes, and then returned to the deck.
At this moment, the barrels and boxes she had placed on the deck to store fish were already filled with her father and Lin Shuyuan's spoils. Not only that, even the buckets and oversized metal basins in the kitchen were taken out to hold the fish.
It seems that Dad and Lin Shuyuan have achieved great results. If he hadn't suddenly realized that she hadn't come back yet and couldn't find any trace of her, there would probably be more than these fish on the deck.
With the introduction of Lin Shuyuan, a veteran in sea fishing, Hua Yang learned the species and names of these fish. Lin Shuyuan even explained to them the living habits of these fish, the types of bait they like, and so on.
The largest fish on the deck was twice as big as the tuna Hua Yang had caught before. She saw two fishing lines emitting golden light at a glance. It seemed that the two gold-type psychics had used their powers on the fishing gear for these fish, which was really painstaking.
Since most of the fish were too big, they couldn't finish them all. After everyone voted, they decided to keep only a tuna about the same size as Xiao Ming and a sea hare the size of a face plate that was caught by mistake. The rest of the fish were collected by Hua Yang and raised in the space.
Hua Yang left behind a tuna and a sea hare, and put all the other fish into the space. Except for He Xiaojun and Lin Shuyuan, the others present were no longer surprised by Hua Yang's methods. Everyone knew that Hua Yang had a huge space, and it could also hold living things. The food went in steaming hot, and no matter how long it took, it would still be hot when it was taken out.
But everyone remained silent and did not ask. This was the greatest protection and trust for Hua Yang.
After collecting a large number of marine fish and enriching the biological species in the Huayangling River, she suddenly glanced at everyone mysteriously, a shell the size of a washbasin appeared in her hand, and then a smile spread across her face.
"Look at the surprise I prepared for you! Ding ding ding, how is it? Awesome, right?"
But everyone looked at Hua Yang's happy smile and the shell in her hand with confusion. Meng Yi even took the shell from Hua Yang's hand and weighed it for a few times, "This is the first time I've seen such a big shell. I'll go take care of it, and everyone will have a snack later!"
Hua Yang snatched the pearl shell she had brought with great effort, glared at Meng Yi, and then looked at everyone. "This is not just a shell!"
"Pearl oyster? Where did you get this shell? This big pearl oyster is rare." Lin Shuyuan suddenly squeezed next to Hua Yang and picked up the shell to look it up and down. "This pearl oyster is one of the best quality shells in the ocean that produces pearls. It is also called white butterfly oyster. It was often caught by fishermen in the past, but now it is rarely seen. Even if there are any, they are the size of a palm or smaller."
Hua Yang was shocked after hearing Lin Shuyuan's explanation. She just picked up a medium-sized one. If she brought up the biggest one, wouldn't it stun old man Lin?
She pulled her mother, took out a dagger from the space and handed it to her mother Li Xiaoyu, and said.
"Mom, let's experience opening a clam and digging for pearls, shall we? You do this."
Li Xiaoyu had never seen such a big pearl shell before, and she didn't know where to start with the dagger in her hand.
Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help herself, "Yangyang, you are the best. Is there anything else? I also want to play the game of opening clams and digging for pearls."
Hua Yang smiled at her anxious face and took out a large pearl oyster of similar size from the space and handed it to her. "Here, here, you are so grown up, why are you still like a child?" But Hua Yang herself did not realize that she was about the same age as Gu Xiaoyue.
