I also took a stroll around the pier. Although I had missed the best time to buy seafood, there were still people selling it.
What surprised Liu Yun the most was that they also sold live octopuses.
Liu Yun, who grew up in an inland rural area, said she had never seen a live octopus before.
The sight of an octopus immediately brings to mind countless ways to eat it: barbecue, stir-fry, spicy—just thinking about it makes her mouth water.
Seeing Liu Yun staring at the octopus, the owner warmly greeted her, "Beautiful lady, come and see the octopus! It was caught today. If you want it, it's only two yuan!"
Liu Yun didn't understand these things either. Just like when she was buying fish, she planned to grab one and see what it was like, but as soon as she touched an octopus, the octopus clung to her.
Just then, Liu Yun rolled up her sleeves to look at the fish, and her arm was immediately entangled by the octopus.
"ah!"
The moment the octopus coiled around her, Liu Yun screamed, trying to shake it off no matter how hard she tried.
The octopus's tentacles slid across her skin, making her feel very itchy and slippery, somewhat like a snake. The octopus's suckers clung to her hand with a pulling sensation, and they tightened as she shook her hand.
And no matter how hard she tried to shake him off, she couldn't. Liu Yun felt her scalp tingling and she was almost in tears.
The stall owner never expected this pretty girl to be so fierce, so afraid yet still catching the octopus like that.
"Pretty girl, don't move. The more you move, the tighter it will suck. Relax."
He kept patting Liu Yun's hand as he spoke, but the octopus just wouldn't fall off.
"Don't be afraid, it won't bite. Just soak it in this fresh water and it will come off."
After saying that, he took Liu Yun's hand and dipped it in fresh water for a few seconds, and then the octopus fell out.
After the octopus fell, Liu Yun's hands, especially around her wrists, were covered in red, blue, and purple suction cup marks, which looked terrifying.
The stall owners naturally saw it, but this was nothing new to them.
"Wow! This pretty girl has such delicate skin! This octopus is really strong, but don't worry, it'll be fine in a few days."
It took Liu Yun a while to come to her senses. The slippery feel and the suction cup's adhesive force made this thing even more terrifying than a snake.
Liu Yun: "Thank you."
When Liu Yun came to her senses, she looked at the crowd of onlookers around her and her face turned bright red.
"Oh my god! Is there a crack in the ground?! Can I crawl into it?! Is there any way to leave Earth and get to Mars tonight?! This is so embarrassing!"
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes from everyone, Liu Yun couldn't take it anymore and quickly slipped away.
