Chapter 18 The Goods Are Here
The cloth bag that Chen Huihong prepared for Chen Hui came in handy.

Wu Shuisheng found two pieces of waterproof cloth, wrapped the pancake in the cloth, and also wrapped the matches he had with him.

He looked around and gave him the extra gloves and hatchet that he had on the boat.

"Uncle, give me two net bags too."

"There are a lot of hot snails here, and we can dig out half a net bag of oysters." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Baskets are mainly used to fish at sea.

There was no shortage of net bags on the boat, Wu Shuisheng took three and stuffed them into the cloth bag, then said:
"When the time is right, light a fire on the beach so we can find you."

"You can only play on the island. You are not allowed to go into the water. The sea here is different from the sea on the shore."

"Well don't stay on the shore all the time, you'll get sunburned."

"Um"

"Why don't you go down too!" Wu Guang complained.

Wu Shuisheng chuckled, "If it was Dian Hai and Dian Yang, I would have kicked them right away."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Hui.

Thinking about what Chen Hui promised yesterday, that he would not even look west even if I asked him to go east.

I felt even angrier and couldn't help but complain, "I'll never bring you here again."

"Don't be angry, uncle. Wait for me to catch one and take a bag of snails back. Then I'll make my aunt happy tonight."

After several years of eating and drinking for free, Chen Hui's thick skin and skills have been well-developed.

Hearing what Wu Shuisheng said, he was not angry, but smiled and acted obediently.

Wu Shuisheng was so angry that he couldn't even vent his anger. He could only say, "Be careful."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Hui nodded in agreement, and then said to Wu Guang, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Guang."

"Well, I really like this young man in your family."

Wu Guang was very grateful for Chen Hui's politeness.

He smiled and controlled the fishing boat towards the island.

When they reached almost the same position, Chen Hui jumped off the boat with a thud and swam to a suitable position to get ashore.

After seeing that he had successfully reached the shore, several people controlled the fishing boat and left with confidence.

Chen Hui was not in a hurry to go into the sea. He stood on the shore and watched the fishing boat go farther away. He waved goodbye to Wu Shuisheng who was standing on the deck worriedly.

Walk into the beach with big strides.

First check everything in the cloth bag to make sure that neither the matches nor the cakes were soaked.

Cut off some branches and hang the bag out of the sun.

Take off your wet clothes and float in the sea water, squeeze out the water and hang them up.

While it was still early and he wouldn't get burned by the sun, Chen Hui strolled around the island.

Normally, no one comes to such a small island on the sea. Even if people come to rest after fishing on the boat, they would rather sit together and drink tea and play cards rather than look for things on the beach.

Compared to going to the beach in Dasha Village or Chenjia Village.

There are many clams and snails on the island’s beaches and reefs.

Chen Hui only took a walk around the beach and picked up half a bag of clams and snails, as well as a dozen mantis shrimps, three king crabs and a fish.

In just over an hour, they harvested more than the beachgoers in Chenjia Village could in the entire morning.

The sun gradually rose
Chen Hui felt a layer of sweat on his back and felt very hot under the sun.

Tighten the rope of the net bag and tie it to the tall tree on the shore, soak the net bag in sea water to ensure that the fish and mantis shrimp inside can survive well.

Put on your gloves and wrap the other two net bags around your waist.

Go down into the water in the direction of the current.

"Wow!"

As soon as he dived into the seabed, Chen Hui was struck by the beauty. There were large tracts of colorful coral reefs, schools of small peeling fish swimming around, and occasionally a few larger garfish.

Other sea creatures were also obviously more abundant than what he had seen during his previous two trips to the sea.

Even so, Wu Shuisheng and his friends still felt that it was not enough, and they wanted to go further out, even to the open sea.

"No wonder life in Dasa Village is so good." Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh.

These fish are not expensive and react quickly, so they are not ideal targets.

Chen Hui looked at the scenery for a while, then dived deep into the seabed and saw slightly bulging sand.

With one hand thrust out diagonally, a snarling orchid crab was firmly caught in the hand.

The orchid crab saw that Chen Hui was a little angry, and waved its big claws to show its strength.

Chen Hui was not very happy looking at the orchid crab.

This crab is not a valuable species.

After stuffing the orchid crab into the net bag, Chen Hui continued to swim towards another bulge.

With a stretch and a raise of his hand, the second orchid crab entered the net bag.

He could only sense the presence of crabs but could not clearly tell what species they were. In order not to miss out on such a good catch, he had no choice but to catch them all.

After catching more than a dozen orchid crabs and two slipper fish in a row.

Chen Hui began to doubt his life.

With such a beautiful sea, shouldn’t it produce some good stuff?
I don’t pursue things like several kilograms of grouper or several kilograms of large lobster, which are hard to come by.

A few blue crabs or something, that wouldn’t be too much, right?
Chen Hui thought about it, swam forward a few dozen meters, and fished out a sturgeon from the sand with one hand.

"Hey, you just said there were no good stuff, but now it's here?" Chen Hui couldn't help laughing as he looked at the sturgeon in his hand.

This thing is more valuable than blue crab.

The red sturgeon held up its big claws and looked a little confused.

While it wasn't able to react, Chen Hui stuffed it into the net bag.

Continue to dig the next sand pit.

It turns out that once good luck starts, it won't stop easily.

In half a day, Chen Hui caught more than ten blue crabs and five or six sturgeons, as well as orchid crabs, sea cucumbers, blue-tailed shrimps, etc., which filled up the net bag.
Just this gain is worth the trip today.

Chen Hui felt satisfied and pulled the net bag back to the shore.

It is better to untie the rope of the net bag and tie it to the shore. The part containing the crabs should be soaked in the sea water and placed together with the net bag containing the snails.

Rub off any thin layers of salt that are stuck to your clothes.

Take out the pancake and water bottle from the net bag.

I ate a piece of bread, drank some water, and ate an apple.

I rested for a while leaning against a tree on the shore, then walked to the seaside and looked at the sky.

Although he was not sure what time it was, the sun was high in the sky and it would take at least six to seven hours before Wu Shuisheng and his companions came back to pick him up.

Being idle is also idle.

Chen Hui cut a branch and sharpened it into a stick, then took the last empty net bag and went into the water again.

This time I won’t sink to the bottom of the sea to look for crabs and shrimps.

Wandering around the reef, when you sense a fish, you stick the stick in to poke it, or hit it against the reef.

Scare the fish so that they swim out, and then you can see what kind of fish it is, how big it is, and whether it is worth money.

This method is not only trouble-free, but also very fun.

Whether the fish was happy or not is another matter, but at least Chen Hui had a lot of fun.

When they were having fun, a sea grouper weighing about three pounds came into Chen Hui's sight.
