Chapter 142: Bah! I was sprayed in the face. This is to kill me.

"Uncle Guang, what are you here to see?"

What Chen Hui said turned into a bunch of murmurs in the water and could not be heard clearly.

Wu Guang shook his head and gestured for a long time, but Chen Hui still didn't understand, so he just ignored it and continued to look for what he wanted.

Wu Guang followed Chen Hui leisurely, looking to the left and to the right.

A dragon tongue fish was lying on the sand pretending to be dead, and Wu Guang patted Chen Hui.

Chen Hui understood immediately, nodded, went over to grab it and put it in the net bag.

While catching the dragon tongue fish, he saw a big snail and patted Chen Hui again.

Huh? Chen Hui picked up the snail and felt the scent of fish.

Because of Wu Guang's presence, the surrounding schools of fish and swimming fish clearly kept their distance from the two of them.

If you're not swimming on top, then you can only be swimming below.

Chen Hui lowered his head and noticed that the sand next to the big snail was slightly bulging.

He put on the gloves, pressed down on the center of the bulge, grabbed it and lifted it up.

A fairly large cuttlefish was caught red-handed, twisting its tentacles and spraying ink out.

Chen Hui reacted and immediately grabbed the cuttlefish and swam forward a few meters. The essence that the cuttlefish desperately sprayed out was completely left behind.

When the fish stopped spraying out ink, Chen Hui turned around to look.

Well, magic attacks aren't completely useless.

Wu Guang, who had been following behind him, was already surrounded by the spreading ink. He kept waving his hands to spread some of the ink, and moved his feet to swim straight up.

Chen Hui stuffed the cuttlefish into the net bag and followed, carrying the net bag with a small amount of ink still oozing out.

He popped his head out of the sea and asked with concern: "Uncle Guang, are you okay?"

"Pah, pah, pah, pah! Pah!" Wu Guang spat several times and blew his nose. He couldn't help cursing, "Damn, this ink smells so fishy!"

"You didn't choke on it, did you?" Chen Hui was a little worried.

"No, I do have some reaction speed." Wu Guang washed his nose again.

Looking at Chen Hui, he said, "Your reaction is quite fast, and your judgment of the water flow is also correct. How did you do it?"

"This is my first time catching this too. It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse." Chen Hui said modestly.

After all, I really knew what to do without even thinking about it, so there is no knowledge point to talk about.

"Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Give me all your nets, and I'm going up."

"You're not going down?!" Chen Hui pointed underwater.

"No, I think you're just lucky and don't have any special skills." Wu Guang waved his hand.

On the distant shore.

An Wenjing was looking at the stove, while Wu Shuisheng, Wei Jianjun and Wu Dahua were rummaging through the rocks on the other side.

Wu Shuisheng didn't know what he had found, and he showed it to Wei Jianjun excitedly.

It looks like fun too.

At least it was more fun than following Chen Hui and drinking fishy ink.

"Okay, these can be left to Wen Jing. I'll catch a few more fish and bring them up."

Chen Hui gave his net bag to Wu Guang, took his empty net bag, turned around and went into the sea.

"Some people are born to eat the sea. It's really a shame for the Empress if such people don't want to go out to sea to be fishermen."

"Sin!"

Wu Guang sighed and handed the net bag to An Wenjing.

He hid in the woods, changed his clothes, and shouted, "I'm coming!" and ran towards Wu Shuisheng and the others.

An Wenjing heard the noise, stopped what she was doing, and looked back in surprise. Although it was nothing to have one more person go into the sea.

But as soon as Wu Guang left, Chen Hui felt relaxed and happily swam a few times in the water.

Then I started looking for things based on my feeling.

Sea eggplants, scallops, three-eyed crabs, swimming crabs, mantis shrimps, clams, and a few yellow croakers and grouper fish that happened to be there.

Chen Hui quickly filled the net bag.

Considering that it should be enough for several people, I swam back to the surface of the sea and changed out of the swimming trunks I wore when I went into the water and hung them on a tree branch.

"Brother Chen Hui, Uncle Guang was so funny just now!"

Seeing Chen Hui coming up, An Wenjing couldn't wait to pull him aside and start talking.

Chen Hui looked into the distance and saw that the few people had no intention of coming over, so he whispered to her what had just happened underwater.

"Hahaha, compared to going into the sea with you, it's indeed more interesting to fish with them on top of it."

"But, will it be okay if you get sprayed with ink?" An Wenjing asked with concern.

"Cuttlefish ink is not poisonous. It's fine as long as you don't choke on it in your lungs."

"Is the porridge ready?" Chen Hui asked.

"I think it's almost done. I've already reduced the charcoal fire." An Wenjing pulled Chen Hui over and opened the lid to show him.

Chen Hui nodded and asked An Wenjing to collect some dead branches and leaves from the woods on the shore.

He took the net bag outside and processed all the seafood in it. He threw some sea eggplants, shrimps and crabs into the pot, and continued to light the fire in the charcoal stove to cook seafood porridge.

I looked at the pile of scallops and snails in the net bag and thought they were not suitable for skewering and grilling.

Oh, I didn’t bring enough things again.

There was no other choice, so Chen Hui cut down a branch and started digging a hole in the ground.

"Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

"Look! Our harvest!"

Wu Shuisheng and his companions brought back a net bag full of oyster shells, as well as crabs and fish, all in a small net bag.

"So many?! Are you trying to kill them all?" Chen Hui pried open a hole and took a look, saying in surprise.

"It's normal for a place like this to have no one come for three to five months, let alone a long time."

"Next time I come, the pile of rocks will be full of snails again."

"Come on, how much should we eat today?" Wu Shuisheng asked.

"I have a lot of good stuff over there. As for the snails, just grab a couple of handfuls, wash them, and roast them to eat." Chen Hui was tired from digging, so he shook his hand and handed the wooden stick to Wu Dahua.

I gestured to him: "I'm going to dig a hole here. It doesn't have to be too deep, but wide. About this wide."

"Okay! I'm strong and can finish digging it quickly." After saying that, Wu Dahua took the wooden stick and started prying the soil down.

Chen Hui picked up the hay ball he had used to wash the scallops, and took the snails to the area where the waves could reach to scrub them.

"Wu Dahua is quite good this time. He is much more sensible."

"It was just a reminder before, but maybe this time he thinks we are serious about it."

"This child is too honest to begin with, not good at dealing with people, and if he is lazy and calculative, there will really be no one to take care of him in the future."

Wu Shuisheng and the other two chatted with each other, then walked towards the reef and kept the remaining oyster snails on the reef in shallow water.

Chen Hui was alone on the beach, scrubbing conches, scallops and other shelled seafood.

Waves rose and fell at Chen Hui's feet, and the sea breeze blew towards him, bringing a bit of coolness.

Chen Hui stopped cleaning the snails and looked at the sea surface intently, feeling it for a moment. He could not tell what he was feeling, but he felt that something in the sea was attracting him.
