As the tide rose, Chen Zhiyao, carrying her heavy catch of fish, walked with a beaming smile from the rocky beach covered with oyster shells to the sandy beach where she had just disembarked.
The scenery on this small island is truly beautiful; she walked along, admiring the view before her with undiminished eyes.
The oncoming waves, like a herd of galloping horses, surged powerfully towards the shore, splashing up countless crystal-clear sprays.
At this moment, the sun shines brightly, and the azure sea is as dazzling as if countless sparkling diamonds have been scattered on it.
The ocean in front of me was so beautiful it almost seemed unreal.
Chen Zhiyao even thought that it would be great if this island were near Baisha Village.
The open sea has a good catch and beautiful scenery, but it's too far away.
The family's 12-meter boat is fine in the waters near Baisha Village, but it's a bit too small for the open sea.
She was starting to regret it; she wished she had bought a bigger boat when she bought it.
But she only thought about it; there were only a few people in her family, and she wouldn't be able to manage a large ship.
She wouldn't feel comfortable hiring crew members to help, since she was still hiding a secret.
This system is really too mysterious. What if someone captures it and dissects it?
It's nice to occasionally buy a boat ticket and go out for a trip.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao put down what she was holding, she saw several familiar figures in the direction she had come from.
Everyone was carrying a full load of fish.
Although their steps were slightly heavy, their smiling faces revealed their joy and excitement.
Before long, the group, like busy little bees, had carried all their catch onto the boat.
This little island is really a great place; almost everyone caught dozens of kilograms of fish.
Moreover, most of them are good things like conch, crab, abalone, sea cucumber and sea urchin.
There were hardly any people left on the ship at this point, and the group sat around on the deck tidying up.
Yan Rui happened to come out of the kitchen and, seeing so much seafood, immediately gathered up some of the seafood suitable for grilling.
Before they even got back, each of them had already earned over 1,000 yuan.
After receiving the seafood, Yan Rui instructed the kitchen staff to grill it all, intending to sell it to the fishermen on the boat.
Those who can afford boat tickets to come fishing naturally don't lack money; it's a good way to earn some pocket money.
After finishing her work, Chen Zhiyao was exhausted and wanted to rest for a while.
But apart from her, everyone else was eager to go fishing on the island, so she had no choice but to go along with them.
As a young person, Chen Zhiyao's physical strength is really not that great, and she is far inferior to her parents.
Even Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen could easily defeat her.
It was the first time the group had visited this small island, and they didn't know where they could fish. Fortunately, the boat crew led them there.
The fishing spot on the island was a cliff, but not very high, only about two or three meters above the water. Upon reaching the cliff, Chen Zhiyao was immediately captivated by the scenery before her.
"This place is so beautiful!"
Just as the group took out their fishing rods, a young man came over with life jackets and helmets.
They said it's the ship's rule that you must wear a life jacket and helmet before fishing here.
This fishing boat is quite meticulous and responsible.
Safety first. Without the staff having to say much, Yan Shuting and Grandma Chen immediately made sure Chen Zhiyao and the others took all the necessary safety precautions.
Chen Zhiyao felt there was no rush to go fishing; the most important thing was to find a good fishing spot.
If there are no fish below, all their skills will be in vain.
She stopped the father and son who were about to go fishing, and then advised them:
"Don't rush, sharpening your axe won't delay your work. Let me find a good spot first."
As he spoke, he quietly turned on his X-ray glasses and carefully examined which spot had the most large creatures.
There are quite a lot of fish around here, but they are not very big; the largest is only about ten or twenty pounds.
After walking around for a while, she finally stopped at the edge of the cliff.
The shadows are relatively denser in this area, and they are also fairly large.
After finally choosing a fishing spot, the group lined up and, almost without pause, skillfully took out their fishing rods from their tackle bags.
Chen Zhiyao stood on the outermost edge, her eyes fixed on a rather decent-looking dark figure directly in front of her.
This guy looks to weigh around 10 to 20 kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao took a small octopus directly from the bucket and quickly prepared the bait.
The bait flew straight into the depths of the sea and disappeared into the turbulent waves in the blink of an eye.
She had just put her fishing hook into the water when she heard a familiar laugh.
"Hahaha..." A hearty and loud laugh instantly resounded throughout the entire cliff.
Grandpa Chen's wrinkled hands gripped the fishing rod tightly, and he kept shouting:
"It's a big one! It's definitely a big one, weighing at least 20 kilograms." The old man was so excited that his face turned red, and his joy was palpable.
The fishing has been bad these past two days, and many people on the boat are still empty-handed. When they heard that Grandpa Chen had a big fish, everyone looked constipated.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the fishing rod in her grandfather's hand and saw that it was bent badly, so she knew it was a big fish.
Before she could even feel a pang of envy, she felt a strong pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
A fish has taken the bait! And it's a big one!
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed and quickly adjusted her weight distribution to start playing the fish.
This fish was quite strong, and it kept pulling the fishing rod downwards with all its might, swimming desperately towards the distant sea.
There are no railings on this side of the cliff, so it's quite dangerous for people to stand on it and fish. It feels like they could be pulled into the sea at any moment.
No wonder the staff insisted that they wear life jackets and helmets.
After walking for a few minutes, she felt she couldn't take it anymore. The grass under her feet was slippery, and several times she almost got pulled into the sea by the creatures in the water.
The fish in the water gave another sharp tug, and Chen Zhiyao almost fell into the water. She quickly doubled her strength.
With increased strength, reeling in the fish became significantly easier.
The fishing line kept going out and coming back in, seemingly evenly matched, but in reality, Chen Zhiyao always had the upper hand.
In just 20 minutes, the fish in the water were already exhausted from swimming away.
The once majestic creature in the sea is now like a deflated balloon, having given up resisting and struggling.
Seeing this, she quickly reached out and gripped the fishing rod tightly, then swiftly began to spin the reel to reel in the line.
Chen Zhiyao stared intently at the sea, her heart pounding faster and faster as the fishing line was reeled in.
I wonder what kind of fish this is?
