He excitedly plunged into the water, swam over with all his might, grabbed the target, and shouted excitedly, "Anlan, come quick! There's a huge patch of seaweed hidden here!"
Upon hearing the call, An Lan ran over in a few steps as if her feet had sprouted wind.
Upon seeing the seaweed, his eyes lit up instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Such big seaweed!"
The two of them crouched down and carefully scooped up the seaweed from the seabed.
The long seaweed swayed gently in the water, like a lively green ribbon, shimmering with a captivating luster under the sunlight.
It took them a great deal of effort to haul a large patch of seaweed safely ashore.
"What a great day! We can have a sumptuous seafood feast tonight!" Lu Fan smiled so broadly that his eyes narrowed into slits, his face full of satisfaction.
An Lan looked at the clams piled up like a small mountain, the crabs with their claws outstretched, and the large pieces of seaweed on the ground, and smiled as she said, "Yes, and they're all completely natural. It's so hard to find these days."

【Seaweed slices*】
The live stream was instantly flooded with comments:
Wow, this seaweed is huge! It's almost too big to fit on the screen!
"I never knew unprocessed kelp looked like this. It's truly an eye-opener."
"It makes my mouth water just looking at it. I'm getting tired of eating industrial seaweed every day."
"Seaweed: I spent half a year's savings to travel across the ocean to see you~!"
Wang Tao exclaimed in the live broadcast room: "I haven't seen such fresh, purely wild seafood in many years. I can't help but feel envious."
Zhao Hangjun adjusted his glasses and began to explain: "Kelp has a crisp texture and a light flavor, making it a rare delicacy."
Moreover, kelp has a high iodine content. Iodine is an important raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and plays a vital role in maintaining normal human metabolism, promoting growth and development, especially the development of the nervous system.
Iodine deficiency can lead to diseases such as goiter. Eating kelp appropriately can effectively supplement iodine and prevent iodine deficiency disorders.
With their bountiful harvest, Lu Fan and An Lan embarked on their journey back to the shelter.
The gentle glow of the setting sun fell upon them, casting long shadows.
Big Black was like a mischievous child, running happily ahead.
Big Horn steadily carried the seaweed, slowly following behind, dutifully acting like a professional porter.
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan and An Lan immediately threw themselves into the busy preparations.
Lu Fan skillfully handled the seafood, quickly cleaning the clams and crabs, intending to preserve their original freshness by steaming.
Anlan cut the kelp into small pieces, preparing to cook a pot of delicious kelp soup, so that the delicious flavor would fill the entire shelter.
The campfire blazed brightly, casting a warm yellow light on their faces.
Before long, a sumptuous seafood feast was served.
Steamed clams, spicy crabs, and seaweed soup—one delicious dish after another is laid out steaming hot in front of you, their colors so tempting that they make your mouth water at first glance.
"Here, try my steamed clams and see if they're fresh." Lu Fan picked up a clam and handed it to An Lan, his eyes full of anticipation.
An Lan took the clam, gently sucked on it, and the tender clam meat slid into her mouth, the delicious taste instantly spreading in her mouth.
She closed her eyes contentedly, savoring the taste: "It's so delicious, no wonder it's wild!"
The two enjoyed the delicious food while chatting happily.
After a satisfying meal, Lu Fan and An Lan leaned back comfortably in their chairs, gazing up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
A gentle breeze, carrying a touch of coolness, dispelled the daytime heat, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.
The big black belly was round and full from eating, like a little ball, and it would occasionally burp and squint its eyes contentedly.
The big horn quietly chewed on its fodder, occasionally flicking its tail to shoo away mosquitoes; everything was so harmonious.
"This seafood feast today was so satisfying! I haven't eaten this well in ages." An Lan patted her slightly bulging belly, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Lu Fan stretched and laughed, saying, "Yes, natural seafood is just different; it tastes much better than farmed seafood."
But now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, what's next? We can't just sit here doing nothing through this long night.
An Lan tilted her head and thought about it seriously.
Before she could speak, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly suggested, "How about we play Connect Four? It's been so long since I've played it, I really miss that feeling of back-and-forth wits and strategy."
"Gomoku? But we don't have a board or pieces." An Lan looked at him with confusion in her eyes.
Lu Fan smiled mysteriously and stood up confidently: "What's so difficult about this? Watch me!"
After saying that, he searched carefully around and finally found a flat stone slab. He then picked up a sharp stone, lay down on the ground, and carefully drew the squares of Go on the stone slab, stroke by stroke.
Although the grid is a bit crooked, it doesn't affect the enjoyment of playing chess at all.
"The chessboard is done!" Lu Fan stood up triumphantly, like an architect who had completed a great project.
Next, he began collecting stones of different sizes, treating the larger ones as black stones and the smaller ones as white stones.
"Ta-da! Here's the chess piece! How about that? Aren't I clever?" Lu Fan held up the "chess piece" and showed it off to An Lan like a child, his face full of pride.
An Lan was amused by his actions and laughed heartily, nodding as she laughed: "You, you always have so many clever ideas. Okay, let's play a game and see who is the master of Gomoku."
The two sat facing each other in front of the stone slab, and a fierce and interesting Gomoku battle officially began.
Lu Fan, playing black, made the first move. He placed his first piece with great confidence, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
An Lan remained calm and composed, resting her chin on her hand as she carefully considered each move, her gaze focused and resolute.
"Watch me, if I take this step, you'll be in trouble."
As Lu Fan spoke, he smugly placed a chess piece heavily on the chessboard, making a crisp "snap" sound, as if declaring his advantage to An Lan.
An Lan frowned, staring at the chessboard for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she smiled as she placed a chess piece on the board. She said with a smile, "Don't be too smug. This move of mine has a hidden trick in it. I'm just waiting to see how you respond."
The two players went back and forth, and the number of pieces on the board increased, making the situation increasingly tense.
At the beginning, Lu Fan did win more often than he lost, thanks to his rich experience.
Every time he won a game, he would jump up excitedly, like a victorious general, and dance around in front of An Lan, showing off: "Haha, how about that? I told you I was great! If you practice more, maybe you can beat me in the future."
An Lan chuckled defiantly and said, "Don't get too excited yet. I haven't gotten serious yet. Once I get the hang of it, you'll be in for a surprise. Don't cry then."
Sure enough, as the game progressed, An Lan gradually found her rhythm, and her chess skills began to improve by leaps and bounds.
Every move was made with absolute precision and meticulous calculation, leaving Lu Fan somewhat overwhelmed.
Lu Fan, who had been smug, gradually lost his smile, replaced by a tense and focused expression as he stared intently at the chessboard, pondering his next move.
"What's going on? My chess skills have declined!" Lu Fan slapped his head in regret, looking at the losing situation gradually forming on the chessboard. He felt anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But he refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to concentrate intently on the game, determined to win back a point.
