Chapter 420 The vessel that caused the accident
Chu Songyun lowered his eyes and smiled: "Honglian's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to earn some money to buy her a gift."
"So what good stuff did you catch?" Xu Yiyi climbed to the stern and looked in his direction, only to find a few small fish jumping around on the boat, apart from some tools.
"I've only just begun."
Chu Songyun knows how to fish, but he's not very skilled at it.
"You go about your business, I'll stay over there and help you keep an eye on the boat." Chu Songyun straightened the fishing net in his hands and rowed the small boat back to a slightly more distant part of the sea.
The morning light scattered across the sea, breaking into countless golden scales, which was somewhat dazzling.
Xu Yiyi wiped the water off her face and sat lazily on the small boat, watching Chu Songyun's movements.
The handsome young man who usually looks like a fool now looks like a fool.
Xu Yiyi pursed her lips, poured the fish out of the fishing net, and skillfully took out a silver needle to puncture the fish bladder.
When I looked up again, Chu Songyun's net had already been thrown out, landing in the water rather poorly.
Xu Yiyi said loudly, "Sink your wrist down, don't lift it up."
Upon hearing this, Chu Songyun quickly pulled the fishing net back. Luckily, he caught four or five fish.
"It's been too long since I've been out fishing, and my movements have become rusty."
Chu Songyun smiled sheepishly and bent down to remove several fish from the fishing net.
Three of the five fish are small fish.
He shook his head helplessly and threw the small fish he had caught back into the net.
"When you throw the fishing net out, you rely on the power of your waist rotation, not your arms." As he spoke, the sea turtle swam up and bumped into the small boat.
Xu Yiyi slowly stood up and gestured vaguely: "Go with the flow, don't rely on brute force alone."
She had barely finished speaking when she jumped back into the water with a splash.
The water here is neither too deep nor too shallow, and shrimp and crabs are everywhere. Xu Yiyi held the pincers and chased after the crabs.
The sea turtle followed her closely, swimming after her.
"Hehehehe... Don't you dare knock my raincoat open," Xu Yiyi warned.
She placed five or six baskets of crabs, sea urchins, shrimp, and conch on the edge of the rock pile. Just as she was about to catch some rare sea fish, she turned her head and saw the sea turtle's movements.
"Come here right now."
Xu Yiyi turned around and pushed the sea turtle over, then picked up a sea urchin and pried it open.
"Stay put and don't touch anything over there."
She snorted, gripped the harpoon, and darted into the coral reef.
The coral reefs aren't as lively during the day as they are at night, but you can still find quite a few good things there.
Sure enough, as soon as I swam in, I spotted a grouper nestled in a ditch. With a quick thrust, I easily caught the fish.
As they chased after them, they discovered two incredibly beautiful spotted mitten seaweeds.
After the sea turtle had eaten its fill, it also came to work, swimming up and stirring up a cloud of mud and sand. Taking advantage of the chaos, Xu Yiyi snatched two fish into her pocket.
They only started swimming upstream after the net they brought down was full.
With a whoosh, Xu Yiyi looked up and saw Chu Songyun's worried eyes.
"You scared me!"
Xu Yi shouted, and a face suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her so much that she almost dropped the net in her hand.
Chu Songyun chuckled sheepishly, "I saw you hadn't come up for so long, I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you."
She forced a smile, grabbed the rope, and climbed onto the boat. Chu Songyun's eyes lit up at the sight of the seven or eight baskets of fish she had caught.
"You're really capable; you filled the cabin in just a short while."
Chu Songyun watched enviously as Xu Yiyi placed the net into the cabin, making a clattering sound.
Xu Yiyi was a little haughty at the moment and didn't want to talk to him.
I looked up at the sun's position, bent down to pull the sea turtle up, and adjusted the sails to prepare to move to another location.
"I'm leaving now, I'm busy." After saying that, Xu Yiyi thought for a moment and threw two red silk fish weighing four or five pounds each onto his boat.
“This is a gift from me to my uncle and aunt.”
Xu Yi waved dismissively and rowed the small boat away.
They were moving so fast it was as if someone was chasing them.
Upon arrival, Xu Yiyi sat on the boat and sorted through the nets, bringing out more than ten nets, with only four remaining empty.
"Let's go! Let's go and come back quickly."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, she huffed and puffed as she pushed the sea turtle down.
I've really had some good luck today; I've stirred up a grouper's nest.
As soon as she went down, she saw three grouper, and she was so happy that she exclaimed, "You stinky turtle! Go and chase them away for me, I'm spreading out the fishing net."
Xu Yiyi quickly spread out the fishing net, and the sea turtle chased the fish toward her, which also startled a stinky belly fish into following it in.
"here you go!"
Xu Yiyi tightened the net and didn't forget to praise the sea turtle.
"Let's go! Let's find some moray eels."
Xu Yiyi climbed onto the sea turtle and swam towards the pile of rocks. The marinated eel was grilled over a fire, and it tasted incredibly delicious.
She filled the fishing nets she had brought down with the sea turtle before reluctantly swimming away.
The closer you get to the dock, the more boats there are.
Xu Yiyi was watching the boats entering the dock ahead when, with a loud bang, the boat suddenly jolted.
Caught off guard by the sudden impact, she lurched forward and quickly grabbed the gunwale to steady herself.
Looking back, she saw a dilapidated fishing boat had somehow appeared alongside her stern, with a dark-skinned, burly man standing at the bow, wearing a perfunctory smile.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Xu, I wasn't paying attention for a moment."
The man said this, but his eyes brazenly swept across her boat, his gaze filled with three parts provocation and seven parts malice, without a trace of apology.
Xu Yiyi's heart sank. She looked coldly at the bastard in front of her, stood up, and walked to the stern of the boat.
The impact was quite strong, and she bent down to reach out and pull up the net that had been tied to the stern of the boat.
Once the net was completely out of the water, it revealed two giant grouper weighing over three pounds each.
Because she was keeping it to sell to Song Datou, she didn't puncture the fish bladder.
The fish look like they're almost all dead now.
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Xu Yi stared at the two stiff fish, then slowly raised her head, her gaze as sharp as an ice-cold knife.
The man felt a little uneasy under her gaze, but still managed a forced chuckle: "Oh! This fish is a bit fragile! I didn't mean to, sorry, sorry..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bastard started barking loudly.
It turned out that Xu Yiyi had untied the oar and struck it directly.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to." Xu Yiyi looked innocently at the person in front of her who was covering his head and shouting.
"Nonsense! You're doing this on purpose, you son of a bitch."
Enraged by her actions, the man lunged forward, ready to retaliate, but Xu Yiyi pushed him back into the water.
"You son of a bitch! You son of a bitch! How dare you bully your great-aunt? Who do you think you are? How dare you act tough in front of your great-aunt!"
Xu Yiyi said fiercely, swinging her arm to smash the man who was struggling in the water.
With a few loud clangs, the wood struck a person solidly, producing a teeth-grinding sound.
Suddenly she glanced at the boat that had caused the accident, and taking advantage of the man's inattention, she grabbed the oar and smashed it down.
