The tide receded with a "splashing" sound...
As the tide gradually receded, a large, wet beach slowly appeared before the group.
At the same time, the surging waves were not to be outdone, sweeping up clumps of dark green seaweed and carelessly discarding them on the beach.
These seaweeds crisscross and intertwine, forming small natural shelters.
If you look closely, you'll discover that hidden beneath those patches of seaweed are many unknown secrets—countless tiny seafoods are quietly lurking inside.
Clever little fish hide beneath the seaweed, waiting for the tide to rise again; transparent shrimp dart nimbly among the seaweed, as if playing a thrilling game of hide-and-seek; and greedy little sea cucumbers are feasting on the tender seaweed…
The experienced Chen Zhiyao turned to remind her friends beside her:
"Everyone, hurry up and go check these piles of seaweed. There are usually all sorts of small seafood hidden under these seaweeds."
After saying that, she added, "But you must be careful. You must not reach in and touch them directly. You must use tweezers."
"Who knows if there are ferocious crabs or highly venomous sea snakes lurking inside."
Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood.
Li Lin took the lead, rushing straight towards the nearest clump of emerald green seaweed like a gust of wind.
Yang Yi, standing behind them, excitedly shouted, "Yo yo, let's catch up quickly!"
As she spoke, she took Tang Youyou's hand and followed closely in Li Lin's footsteps, running together toward another, even larger pile of seaweed.
At this moment, the three people seemed to transform into a group of brave and fearless explorers, their eyes fixed on the seemingly ordinary but potentially mysterious pile of seaweed in front of them.
Everyone was filled with anticipation and curiosity, wondering what amazing treasures were hidden below.
Li Lin carefully used tongs to turn over the seaweed, and suddenly, a large, green crab crawled out, baring its teeth and claws.
The guy's appearance was so sudden that Li Lin was startled and quickly took a few steps back.
Yang Yi and Tang Youyou, who were not far away, rushed over after hearing her exclamation and were overjoyed to see the large blue crab.
"What a huge crab! It must weigh at least half a pound!" Yang Yi said, trying to grab it with his tongs.
However, this crab was very cunning, constantly dodging the claws, and later even directly clamped the claws in his hand with its large pincers.
At that moment, Li Lin rushed forward and quickly picked up the large blue crab.
"Haha, Tangtang, we caught a super big blue crab."
As she spoke, she excitedly waved the large object in her hand at Chen Zhiyao.
"Wow, this big blue crab must be worth at least several tens of yuan."
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao walked slowly towards them with a mysterious smile on her face.
When she finally walked in front of everyone, she slowly extended her right hand, gently opened her palm, and revealed what was in her palm.
Everyone looked closely and saw a plump, long, pinkish-red object. At first glance, it looked exactly like a grilled sausage sold on the street. "Can you guess what it is?" they asked. "Come on, guess what it is!"
Chen Zhiyao blinked her big, bright eyes, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
Upon hearing this, the other three people gathered around with curious expressions and began to speculate.
"It looks a bit like a shrunken sea anemone. Is it a sea anemone?" Tang Youyou asked uncertainly.
Chen Zhiyao smiled and shook her head, "No!"
"Could it be a mutated sea cucumber?" Li Lin's imagination ran wild, and she started giving random answers.
Chen Zhiyao shook her head again: "That's not right either, it doesn't look like a sea cucumber at all."
......
For a time, all sorts of ingenious ideas came to mind, but Chen Zhiyao kept shaking her head, indicating that they had all guessed wrong.
Tang Youyou asked curiously, "What is this? Okay, Tangtang, please tell us!"
Chen Zhiyao smiled smugly, "This is sea cucumber, it's especially delicious when used to make sea cucumber fried rice."
As she spoke, she raised the sea cucumber in her hand so that everyone could see it more clearly.
"Sea cucumber? That sounds delicious." Yang Yi licked his lips.
"Sea cucumbers taste delicious and can be used to make soup or stir-fry."
Tang Youyou poked it with her finger, "Wow, so this is a sea cucumber! Tangtang, where did you find it?"
"We found it under a rock over there." Chen Zhiyao happily put the sea cucumber into the basket.
"There are so many good things on this island!" Tang Youyou said happily.
“Yes, let’s look again. Maybe there are other treasures.” Li Lin turned around and continued to use the tongs to rummage through the seaweed in front of her.
The group continued their treasure hunt along the beach, their laughter echoing in the sea breeze.
Chen Zhiyao strolled along the beach, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair and carrying with it the distinctive salty smell of the ocean.
Just then, she noticed a small patch of seaweed that looked remarkably like chives not far ahead.
Its emerald green color and slender, supple form swayed gently in the sunlight, making it particularly eye-catching on the beach.
She glanced at it curiously a couple more times, and then her gaze was instantly drawn to it.
Hidden beneath that patch of seaweed was a plump, round sea cucumber.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to start running over with light steps.
Parting the seaweed that resembles chives, a large sea cucumber, dark brown in color and covered with fine textures and raised spines, comes into view. Its round and adorable appearance makes one want to reach out and touch it.
Chen Zhiyao picked up the sea cucumber with a beaming smile, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
Wow, this sea cucumber is so beautiful!
Sea cucumbers are generally gregarious, so there must be more nearby. Chen Zhiyao quickly began searching the surrounding area.
Sure enough, a few large sea cucumbers were found under the seaweed on the other side a short while later.
As she was rummaging through the seaweed, she suddenly discovered a large blue conch hidden among them.
This conch looks very beautiful, with bright colors and pretty white patterns on its body.
Chen Zhiyao picked it up with great joy and carefully examined the beautiful conch.
However, when she picked up the conch shell, she felt that the weight in her hand was a little strange.
Turn the large conch over, and you'll see that the plump conch meat is gone, replaced by an octopus living inside.
The little creature was tightly attached to the smooth inner wall of the conch, and it took Chen Zhiyao a lot of effort to get it out.
The beautiful blue conch shell was also filthy from the ink it expelled. "What a beautiful conch shell!"
After washing away the ink, Chen Zhiyao liked the sea snail even more and planned to take it home.
Just then, Li Lin's excited voice suddenly came from ahead:
"Tangtang, come quick! I've found something amazing!"
