Wu An's face lit up with joy.
Yesterday at 10 AM I made over 2,000 yuan in daily luck points, so today at 6 PM I'll probably make 3,000 or 4,000 yuan.
He was actually quite sleepy.
My head was spinning, but as soon as I looked at the system, I was completely wide awake.
Sleepyhead.
Making money is the most important thing.
I made some money from beachcombing tonight, so I'll go to town tomorrow to buy things: tables and chairs, a door lock, and some beachcombing and fishing gear.
Besides, they sent a fish yesterday, but there are only three people in the family: my father, brother, and sister-in-law. It's definitely not enough to eat.
We cooked seafood tonight; we'll send some over tomorrow.
I dare not say anything else.
He'll take care of all the seafood we eat at home from now on.
He went back to the bed, this old-fashioned bed, and there was a bedside table. He opened it, looked around, and took out a plastic water bottle, 5 liters, enough for him and Aqing to replenish their water.
Ah Qing urged, "Brother, are you done yet?"
"What's the rush? Sharpening your axe won't delay your work." Wu An put his clothes back on and wrapped himself up to cover up. Although there was no sun at night, there were mosquitoes and insects. If he didn't cover himself up properly, he would definitely be covered in bites tomorrow.
I carried the bucket out the door.
He had only taken two steps when he went back to get a snakeskin bag and stuffed it into the bucket. When Aqing saw this, she laughed and said, "Brother, you're going too far."
"We're going to collect seafood, not to buy goods from the sea."
"Who goes beachcombing with a snakeskin bag?"
Wu An didn't explain; it's better to be prepared.
The two of them, each with a headlamp, swayed and walked towards the beach.
The fifth brother was not far from the beach and soon reached the sandy area. It was a yellow sandy beach with few rocks, which was quite suitable for beachcombing.
As soon as the two arrived, they saw several headlamps on.
Someone saw the two of them and called out, "Who's there?"
Immediately afterwards, the lights shone on them.
Wu An cursed, "Damn it, stop fighting, you're going to go blind."
Those who shone the lights on were immediately startled: "Wu Erzai!"
"Is it you?"
What brings you here?
"Hey everyone, be careful, Wu Erzai is coming."
The last sentence was shouted at the other people.
Instantly.
The villagers, who had been leisurely gathering seafood, suddenly became tense, shining their headlamps over. One timid person even grabbed his bucket and ran away.
Wu An: "..."
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
He's pretty impressive too.
At this point, nothing you say will make a difference; people will just assume you're lying.
Aqing scratched her head: "Brother, what should we do?"
Wu An shrugged: "Never mind."
"Let's find a less crowded place."
Everyone treats him like a thief, so when he and Aqing go beachcombing later, no one will come near them, which is a good thing, as it will make it easier for them to make money quietly.
He walked west along the coast.
Ah Qing was still a little unhappy, so he explained to everyone that he and his brother had reformed and would no longer steal chickens or dogs, asking everyone to believe him.
Naturally, no one believed it. Some even muttered that only an idiot would believe it. They said he should have kept his voice down, but he had to shout it out so everyone could hear, which drew laughter.
Aqing got into a shouting match with someone.
Wu An didn't stop him. Anyway, it was just a little bit of spittle, nothing serious. He should crown A Qing as the best mouth double.
After passing the yellow sand beach, you will reach the rocky beach.
People fish here during the day. Now that the tide is out, the previously submerged reefs are exposed. During the day, villagers come here to gather seafood.
Seafood such as snails and oysters are attached to the rocks, and you can grab a handful of them. Although they are not worth much, if you are willing to put in the effort, you can get a lot and sell them for money.
It's definitely not possible to do it now.
Late at night, if he loses his footing and falls, he'll end up in the same situation as when he stole fish during the day.
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, someone's fishing!"
Wu An had naturally seen it long ago. When he passed by and the light came on, he was somewhat surprised: "Lin Hu, you're really going all out, actually coming to night fishing."
Lin Hu recognized his voice and shouted, "Even a scoundrel like you can get up at dawn to go beachcombing, so why can't I go night fishing?"
"I've only been here an hour and I've already caught two yellowtail catfish."
"Hey, another fish caught."
"If you agree to come fishing with me today, I'll lend you my fishing gear. Maybe we can even catch fish one after another like at noon."
Wu An gave him the middle finger, too lazy to pay any attention.
Would Lin Hu really be so kind?
He lent him his fishing rod, probably because he wanted a share of the catch.
Lin Hu is right about one thing: if he comes fishing, he'll definitely catch fish one after another.
But he didn't regret refusing at all.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
After passing the rocky beach, continue forward.
Li Juan said that going to the beach at night is dangerous, but she wasn't actually referring to the rocky beach.
It refers to mudflats.
This was also the destination Wu An was heading on his trip.
Why is it considered dangerous? Because the mudflats are submerged by seawater at high tide, and after the tide recedes, they leave behind puddles of varying sizes. These puddles are not fixed and can change due to the erosion of mud and sand by the mudflats.
Unfamiliar with the terrain, and with the tide rising at night, if they don't notice in time, they may not be able to escape by the time they realize what's happening.
The mudflats here are full of silt, which greatly affects the speed of travel and may even make it impossible to walk because you may get stuck in the silt.
Basically, there are cases of people being trapped on the mudflats every year, but fortunately, the rescues are timely, and compared to the past, there are very few fatalities.
Wu An couldn't care less about all that.
If you're afraid of this and that, you might as well stay home and lie down. Even if God were to send you a piece of gold, you might not be able to handle it; it might just crush you to death in your bed.
Fortune favors the bold.
These days, making money is always dangerous. Not to mention, in his previous life, he delivered food, braving wind and rain, and running red lights all the time. Wasn't that dangerous?
Aqing, carrying a bucket, looked at the mudflats and felt a bit lost.
In his eyes, all there was was mud and water; there was no seafood to be found here.
He asked, "Brother, can you get seafood here?"
Wu An walked down into the mud, which was very treacherous. The further he went, the more he sank in, and each step required considerable effort to take another step.
No wonder no villagers come here to gather seafood late at night.
It's very likely that you'll put in a lot of effort but get no reward.
He said, "Let's look for it first."
Deep blue.
Add some points.
Luck value: 33 (13).
Target: Beachcombing clips (+5).
Description: This is a clamp used for catching seafood while beachcombing. With a bit of luck, it's guaranteed to catch everything, and seafood weighing less than two pounds cannot escape.
Wow, not bad!
It requires even more luck than Lin Hu's fishing rod, which means this pair of tongs can definitely catch more valuable seafood.
Give it a try.
Shining the headlamp down, I found a small hole. With a slight prying motion, the hole widened. Sensing movement inside, I immediately lowered the clamp.
With a "click," something got caught.
Pull hard.
The seafood in the hole was pulled out, and under the light, it turned out to be mantis shrimp, and not small at all, about the length of a hand. This is a very popular type of seafood.
Such a big mantis shrimp should fetch a good price.
Most importantly, mantis shrimp are not 'lone shrimp'; they usually appear in groups.
Wu An was very happy.
Aqing was incredibly envious when she saw Wu An easily grab a mantis shrimp with a pinch of his fingers. She tried to do the same, but ended up with nothing.
Wu An said, "Let's find the cave first."
"Look at me."
"Once you find the opening, pry it open a little, then lower the clamp."
After speaking, he used the clips to pull out a mantis shrimp, which struggled weakly on the clips before being casually tossed into the bucket.
Wu An: "Give it a try."
As he spoke, he casually added luck points to Aqing's clip.
