Chapter 73 Sea Urchin
It turns out that the cracks in the rocks are full of sea urchins.
Chu Qiao took out a large pair of bamboo tongs, picked up the sea urchins, and filled his pockets with them.
"Master Chu, doesn't your leg hurt?"
"I feel a little sorry for Mr. Chu's fair thighs."
Chu Qiao was almost ruined by the teasing of netizens. She filled her trouser pockets to the brim, kicked off her feet, and swam towards the surface of the sea.
As soon as he came up, Chu Qiao took a deep breath towards the sea, his face flushed.
It took him a long time to recover: "Next time I go into the sea, you guys better stop talking. I almost choked on the water just now."
After saying that, Chu Qiao swam back to the beach quickly, and the first thing he did was to take out the sea urchins from his two pockets.
Although Chu Qiao tried not to croak or grimace, the feeling of needles pricking his legs was not pleasant.
"Master Chu, are you really not in pain?"
"Why don't you just put on your bag?"
Chu Qiao shook his head. "I can't carry a backpack. My bag is completely waterproof. When I go down, the buoyancy will be too great, making it difficult to dive. If I open the bag to put seafood in it, a bag of water will fill it up, increasing the gravity. When I want to come up, it will be a burden on me. It's not worth it."
After saying that, Chu Qiao took his schoolbag and took the sea urchin covered with mud and sand to the beach to wash it.
Chu Qiao took out a knife, removed the mouth of one of the sea urchins, cut off the top, dug out the sea urchin meat bit by bit, and removed the black internal organs.
Chu Qiao threw it into his mouth and nodded frequently: "It's very delicious. It would be even better if it had some soy sauce."
"Master Chu has gone too far."
“That’s called sashimi.”
"I suddenly lost interest in the new things written in Japanese food stores."
Chu Qiao smiled and shook his head, opening one sea urchin shell after another. After a while, seven or eight sea urchin shells were lying crookedly together.
Chu Qiao smacked his lips in satisfaction and touched his belly. It turned out that this body had been active on the sea for many years, and his body was instinctively more interested in seafood.
Chu Qiao decided to go diving again in the afternoon to satisfy his appetite!
Taking advantage of her free time at noon, she learned from her mistakes and prepared to weave a bamboo basket.
Chu Qiao picked up a few fallen bamboos and cut them into strips one centimeter wide.
There are 16 bamboo strips in total.
Chuqiao placed five strips horizontally and eleven strips vertically, then wove the bottom of the bamboo basket by picking one and pressing one in the warp and weft directions.
The vines at the bottom of the bamboo basket are not tightly fitted together, leaving large gaps, so as not to affect Chu Qiao's buoyancy in the sea.
After weaving a bottom that was about 20 cm long and 30 cm wide, Chu Qiao knelt on one knee, pressed the bottom with his knee, and began to make the body of the bamboo basket.
Chu Qiao continued to bend the bamboo strips by picking up and pressing them, and continued to add bamboo threads longitudinally.
After making the first circle, make the next circle, and bend the originally flat bamboo strips longitudinally and fix them in the same way until all four sides are surrounded to form the cylindrical shape of the bamboo basket.
When the bamboo basket was about fifty centimeters high, Chu Qiao stopped adding bamboo strips.
Cut off the excess bamboo strips longitudinally and stuff them into the bamboo basket that has been made on the lower side. A simple bamboo basket is ready.
In the afternoon, Chu Qiao set out with her newly woven bamboo basket. After the morning's attempt, she was full of confidence and prepared to go to farther and deeper seas.
Chu Qiao first snorkeled around the coastline to test the conditions of the waves.
After everything was back to normal, Chu Qiao swam towards the deep sea. The scene on the seabed was similar to that in the morning. All he could see were some conches, sea urchins and the like.
Chu Qiao had just come up from snorkeling more than 300 meters from the coastline.
Suddenly a wave arose, more than one meter high, and hit Chu Qiao.
"Master Chu, be careful."
"Oh my god, the waves are over two meters high."
"It's a far cry from the last time we survived at sea."
"But last time Chuqiao had a boat."
The live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, and everyone seemed to realize a big problem, which was that Mr. Chu now had no tools and was alone on the sea.
Netizens immediately became worried.
When Chu Qiao realized that a huge wave was approaching, she calmed down instantly. She opened her mouth wide, took a deep breath, and held her breath.
The huge waves hit Chu Qiao and, unsurprisingly, pushed him into the sea. Suddenly, a warm undercurrent surged. Chu Qiao did not dare to waste his energy struggling and let the undercurrent carry him away.
The oxygen in his lungs became thinner and thinner, Chu Qiao felt his abdomen becoming more and more tense, and his whole body became tense due to lack of oxygen.
Chu Qiao's face flushed, his brows furrowed, and he was about to collapse. At this moment, the sea water gradually became calm!
A huge monster suddenly appeared in front of her.
Chu Qiao thought she was dazzled and rubbed her eyes. Not far away from her, there was a huge shadow. Against the backdrop of the sea, it looked like an illusion!
Chu Qiao's stomach was completely flat, and she didn't bother to figure out what this big thing was. She blew out a bubble, moved her legs like a breaststroke, and swam quickly towards the surface of the sea. The bamboo basket in her arm floated up with her.
The moment he reached the sea surface, Chu Qiao didn't have time to open his eyes, and his mouth opened wide.
Chu Qiao kept panting and adjusting his breathing.
"Master Chu, what was that just now? The water was muddy and we couldn't see it clearly."
"Are we going to run into sharks again?"
"Run away quickly. How can you fight with your bare hands?"
Chu Qiao waved his hands, breathing heavily, and said, "I didn't see it clearly."
"Let's go quickly. The sea is terrifying."
"That's not true. Those who drowned were all able to swim."
"Big brother, if you don't know how to speak, you don't have to say anything."
Chu Qiao waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to go down there again, maybe there will be something good."
After saying this, Chu Qiao blinked his eyes with a cunning look on his face.
Although I couldn't see clearly what it was, it was definitely not a fish. Perhaps it was...
She took a few deep breaths and then sank down again.
Chu Qiao's diving speed became faster this time. Without the help of any tools, a normal person can dive to about 10 meters, but Chu Qiao can dive to about 18 meters. The target position is within Chu Qiao's limit, but Chu Qiao can only hold his breath in the water for a maximum of 3 minutes.
This required her to dive faster. Every meter she dived brought enormous pressure. Chu Qiao felt her head buzzing, but she believed that what she needed must be there.
Chu Qiao slid his legs back even harder.
As they got closer and closer to the blurry shadow, which was surrounded by a field of green seaweed, netizens in the live broadcast room opened their eyes wide, waiting for the secret to be revealed.
A large ship about 20 meters long lies quietly deep on the seabed, with schools of fish of various colors swimming around in the cabin.
Chu Qiao approached the ship, and this time everyone could see more clearly that the ship was already rusted, and the visible parts were like reefs on the sea, uneven and covered with seaweed, becoming a habitat for various marine creatures.
