With a splash of waves, the RV successfully drove into the sea.
Ocean waves are not the same as river waves; one wave after another, causing a bumpy ride inside the car.
"How will we get back then?" Chu Zhiqin grabbed the edge of the table to steady herself and peered up at the cross-sea bridge above.
Xi Xi carried two volunteer fishing rods in one hand and the fishing box she received as a New Year's gift in the other. She stepped onto the stairs and said, "We can just build a ladder up. Don't we still have the Magic Rhythm telescopic ladder?"
"No, the waves are too big..." Chu Zhiqin looked at the endless waves outside the window and patted her chest with lingering fear. "Let's close the window."
On the terrace, the sea breeze gently caressed her hair. Xi Xi deftly arranged the fishing box and then cast the smart fishing net towards the rear of the car.
Chu Zhiqin, carrying two fleece blankets, unfolded one and draped it over Xi Xi: "The sea night is surprisingly not too cold, but it's still night, and I reckon the temperature will continue to drop. It's better to cover yourself up and not catch a cold!"
Xi Xi nodded and gave one of the volunteer fishing rods in her hand to her mother.
Chu Zhiqin shook her head and took out the rather ordinary bamboo fishing rod. "Let me try this fishing rod out first. By the way, didn't you say that young man Li Jinshao gave you some bait? Share some with me!"
"Here, take them all." Xi Xi pointed to the homemade bait that had already been stored in the fishing box, indicating that "my voluntary fishing rod doesn't need any bait."
Chu Zhiqin agreed, and after a moment's thought, she took some bait and threw it into the fishing net at the back of the car.
Previously, when using the smart fishing net, the fishing always ended in failure. Chu Zhiqin wanted to conduct a comparative experiment, so she took another empty net, hung it at the rear of the car, and firmly tied it to the balcony railing.
The night was as dark as ink, and the sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell.
Xi Xi hugged the fleece blanket, tightened her night clothes and temperature-controlled cloak, and watched her mother put the bait on the hook by the dim fishing lamp in the center of the terrace.
The surroundings were very quiet. Their RV swayed gently on the waves like a fishing boat. Xi Xi put the light screen aside, but still couldn't get any news from Liu Enxi.
Is that cave really that big? Xi Xi frowned, pondering with slight doubt. She rubbed her cold hands together, her breath standing out clearly in the lamplight.
As night deepened, the temperature finally dropped, but under the temperature-regulating cloak, Xi Xi felt it wasn't too unbearable.
Undeterred by another failed attempt, Xi Xi cast the fishing line back into the sea with swift and decisive movements.
"It's getting a bit cold, remember to drink the ginger tea in your thermos." Chu Zhiqin said, while staring at the spot where the hook was lowered. In the distance, a chain of light stretched along the direction of the cross-sea bridge, making it not seem too dark.
Xi Xi held the warm ginger tea, gazing at the dark sea. Suddenly, her mother's fishing rod plunged.
"Here it comes!" Chu Zhiqin called out in a low voice, gripping the fishing rod tightly with both hands.
Xi Xi quickly put down the cup and helped reel in the line. The fishing line was taut, drawing fine ripples on the water's surface.
After a struggle, a shimmering silver mackerel was pulled onto the boat, where it thrashed and splashed on the deck.
"Goodness, it must weigh seven or eight pounds!" Chu Zhiqin wrapped the fish in a towel, deftly removed the hook, and watched the gills open and close. Suddenly, she felt that the tense escape route was not so boring.
Xi Xi was busy with her work when she didn't expect that the fishing rod she had casually placed aside would also move and be pulled so hard that it got stuck between the railings.
With lightning speed, she pulled it back, and a glittering golden treasure chest leaped out of the water. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that an octopus was clinging to the top of the arched chest!
This octopus wasn't very big, but it was quite plump, with its tentacles tightly wrapped around the edge of the treasure chest.
Chu Zhiqin was delighted to help remove the octopus and put it into the compartment of the fishing box. Then she sat back down at the other end of the terrace and skillfully baited the fish.
Xi Xi carefully examined the high-level treasure chest and discovered that it was actually a locked treasure chest. She then quickly took out the large number of treasure chest keys that she and Sallyman had previously looted.

The high-end locked treasure chest is really extravagant! It even contained several novel items that Xi Xi had never seen before!
She enthusiastically picked up the glow-in-the-dark device and the alarm, and handed them to Chu Zhiqin on the other end.
Luminous floats are used to indicate fish bites in the dark, making them ideal for night fishing. This way, you don't have to strain your eyes staring at the dark sea!
The alarm is an essential tool for night fishing, as it can emit both sound and light alarms, making it easy for anglers to find the fishing rod that has taken the fish in the dark!
Xi Xi even felt that there weren't enough fish. If there were more, wouldn't she be able to fish semi-automatically?!
With this in mind, Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin were filled with boundless energy and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to sea fishing. Although the automatic speed control in the water was a little slow, it was just right for fishing.
Over the next few hours, the mother and daughter had a bountiful catch. Their nets were full of lively shrimp and crabs, as well as several plump groupers.
Xi Xi yawned and sorted the catch into different compartments in the fishing box. Meanwhile, Xi's mother adjusted the position of the fishing net from time to time, scooping up the broken and unusable smart fishing net and neatly casting a new net.
The sea breeze gradually grew stronger, but none of them complained of feeling cold.
To keep warm, Xi's mother also prepared a plate of raw octopus with sauce as a late-night snack, attempting to use the heat of chili peppers to mask the cold wind of the sea night.
Instead of making her own sauce, she used what she had just acquired, the "Dongli Delicious Chili Sauce".
This chili sauce has a very unique flavor and is extremely spicy, but the taste is excellent. It even contains minced garlic and sesame seeds, making it incredibly fragrant.
Chu Zhiqin first took out salt and rubbed the octopus vigorously to remove the surface slime, then mixed it with chili sauce and marinated it raw.
The spicy octopus is incredibly chewy, and the spiciness is just right to stimulate your taste buds.
To be honest, this trick worked quite well. Xi Xi was so spicy that she felt hot all over.
Just then, the message on the screen suddenly flickered a few times. Xi Xi took a big gulp of water to relieve the spiciness, and then opened the private message window while panting.
