Chapter 125 Caught a big lobster, a shadow sneaked into the house

"There could also be wild beasts!"

"No."

"how do you know?"

"My guess."

An Wenjing spoke very seriously, but Chen Hui answered very casually.

He had paid attention to the island and did not sense any wild animals, but there were rats.

There are rats on a small island surrounded by the sea?

Chen Hui also wondered how these mice did it.

The two chatted as they reached the beach.

The sea water has basically receded, and some women are bringing their older children out to play in the sea.

Chen Jiamei and Xiang Meijiao were also there.

Seeing Chen Hui and An Wenjing, they were both ashamed and didn't even exchange glances. They just went to the other side together tacitly.

Instead, Chen Hui and An Wenjing couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go over there, otherwise it will be awkward." An Wenjing said, pointing to the other side.

Chen Hui sensed that there were many oyster snails in the direction Chen Jiamei and Xiang Meijiao were heading.

There were several groups of people on the other side, and they had almost caught all the oysters, snails and crabs.

"Okay, let's go over there."

Chen Hui still chose to go in the direction chosen by An Wenjing.

Anyway, come out and have fun.

It is faster to swim in the sea yourself than to look for seafood under the reefs near the sea.

"You are not allowed to go into the sea right away. You have to stay with me for a while first!" An Wenjing saw that Chen Hui was eager to make a move and spoke first.

"Okay, I'll stay with you for an hour, then I'll go swim in the sea and catch you a fish before we go back."

Chen Hui gave up the idea of ​​taking off his clothes and going into the water.

Carrying a bucket and holding a lamp, I accompanied An Wenjing in searching for snails and crabs among the rocks.

Although there are more people than meat on this side, Chen Hui follows his feeling and can always find large oyster snails and crabs hiding in inconspicuous places.

Before long, Chen Hui's harvest in the bucket was obviously more than that of others.

"Oh, Chen Hui really can make a living by catching seafood." Wu Chunhua from the same village saw this and couldn't help but say something sour.

There were only so many seafood in the reef, and they were all taken away by Chen Hui, so I couldn’t get any more.

"Auntie, that's what you said. I'll give it to you." Chen Hui picked up the bucket and pretended to pour the water in his bucket into Wu Chunhua's bucket.

The unnatural generosity frightened Wu Chunhua so much that he took a few steps back.

He waved his hands and said, "No, no."

"Don't be polite, Aunt Chunhua. It's just some oyster shells. It's not worth much!"

An Wenjing, who was a few steps away, heard it and came over as soon as she spoke.

The fair and lovely face was filled with a well-behaved and harmless smile. For some reason, Chen Hui had a feeling that "if Wu Chunhua didn't stop while she was ahead, she would scold him later."

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

"Wen Jing is still good at talking. Chen Hui is not bad. He will even accompany you to go fishing."

"Unlike my family, where there are several men, none of them wanted to come with me after dinner, and neither of my two daughters-in-law came."

Wu Chunhua said this with a smile, then turned and left angrily.

After walking several meters, he looked back at Chen Hui and An Wenjing who were talking and laughing on the rocks, and silently felt ashamed for his bad intentions just now.

After accompanying An Wenjing in searching among the rocks for an hour, most of the people who had come to the shore to catch seafood had gradually left.

Chen Hui poured all the snails and two crabs in his bucket into An Wenjing's bucket.

He took off his watch and gave it to her for safekeeping, took off all his clothes and stuffed them into an empty bucket, took a net bag and pliers, and went into the sea in a place where there were few people.

He dived into the seaweed pile on the seabed, dug out two sea cucumbers two fingers wide, and threw them into the net bag.

Several fish hiding in the reefs and water plants were startled and wanted to leave this troubled place, but Chen Hui caught them back in his net. He got the sea cucumbers and the fish.

Chen Hui sensed the water and found a few shrimps of good size.

Before leaving, An Wenjing said she wanted to eat shrimp, crabs and fish.

The two crabs found in the rocks didn't look like they had much meat, so Chen Hui still wanted to look for bigger ones.

It would be even better if there was a blue crab.

The blue crabs in this season have turned yellow and grown in size, and they are fresh and delicious when cooked.

"Mr. Krabs, where are you?"

Chen Hui muttered to himself and found it a little funny.

Speaking of which, I first got to know this cartoon character when I watched this cartoon with Wu Dianhai’s eldest grandson.

There was no place to dock, so Chen Hui swam out for a while.

The gap between two huge reefs gave Chen Hui a feeling of attraction.

"Such a big crack, wouldn't the blue crab like to hide?"

Chen Hui dived down and tilted his head to take a look at the gap between the reefs.

A big lobster was hiding in the middle. Feeling Chen Hui's gaze, it rubbed inside uneasily.

Unfortunately, this position is not good. There is no space to escape behind. If it wants to run out, it can only face the man head-on.

Clearly it is not prepared to do so.

"Little shrimp, come out?!" Chen Hui waved at it with a smile.

The lobster ignored him and covered its eyes with its claws.

Faced with such a shy lobster, Chen Hui had to take the initiative and use long tongs to pull it out from the reef.

When I held it in my hand, I saw that it should be about one and a half pounds.

It’s not too big, enough for one person to eat.

After catching the lobster, Chen Hui was no longer obsessed with the blue crab. He grabbed the net bag and swam back to the shore, stepping on the rocks and carefully getting ashore.

An Wenjing held a flashlight and shone it at the place where Chen Hui had just gone into the sea.

"Wife, this way!" Chen Hui waved his hand and shouted at her.

Shine the flashlight over and see it's him. An Wenjing happily comes over with two buckets, "How did you get up from over there?"

"I want to find you a blue crab to nourish your body. If you swim far away, you can go ashore here if it's convenient."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took out the clothes from the bucket and threw the net bag into the bucket.

He wiped the water off his body and head with his clothes and walked back wearing only a pair of shorts.

"What did you catch? Why is it jumping around?" An Wenjing looked into the bucket and asked curiously.

"A few fish, two sea cucumbers, some shrimps, and a lobster weighing more than one pound." Chen Hui said as he walked.

"There are also lobsters?! They can be sold for a lot of money, right?" An Wenjing said happily.

"You can't make enough money, but you have to eat well once in a while."

"I won't sell this lobster. I'll make you something delicious when I get back." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"It's so late, let's eat tomorrow."

"You have the final say, as long as you are happy."

Chen Hui took a bucket in his hand, took An Wenjing's hand, and walked home in the evening breeze.

From a distance, you can already see the fence surrounding the vegetable garden in the distance.

An Wenjing was just about to sigh at how beautiful the fence was when viewed from such a distance.

Then a dark shadow was seen walking quickly past the fence, walking into the path and arriving at the door of Chen Hui's house.

He pushed the door open until there was a gap big enough for his hand to fit in, squatted down, and quickly and accurately found the spare key to Chen Hui's house under the fourth large stone on the right side of the inside of the door.

After opening the door a crack, he walked sideways into the house.
