Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 379 Capturing Sea Bean Sprouts

"This stuff is delicious."

Xu Honglian laughed heartily, bending over and almost crawling on a particularly moist, fine-textured mudflat.

She held a slender, specialized shovel in her hand, her eyes intently searching for the almost imperceptible holes in the sand.

"There's so much of this."

Xu Anyang also noticed and, like his older sister, squatted down and started digging.

"You better watch out."

Xu Honglian glared at him and tapped Xu Anyang on the head with a small shovel.

My face was covered in mud.

The two men's movements were worlds apart.

One was impetuous, the other gentle.

Xu Anyang would squat down and go at it hard, while Xu Honglian would immediately become extremely gentle and precise once she spotted her target.

Unlike Xu Anyang's rough digging, he first carefully scraped away the thin layer of sand on the surface with a small shovel to confirm the direction of the hole. Then, holding his breath, he patiently removed the sand and mud layer by layer along the angle of the hole.

Xu Anyang nodded aggrievedly, then moved away from his sister and started working hard again.

Meanwhile, Xu Yiyi was immersed in a messy yet extremely rich rocky area.

As the tide receded, countless treasures were left behind.

With a splash, she leaned down and picked up a crab with its claws outstretched.

Because of the excessive speed, he stepped into a puddle, splashing mud and water everywhere.

She didn't pay much attention and then wiped it off.

My gaze followed the light of the lantern, carefully sweeping over the rocks covered with barnacles and oysters, focusing on the things scattered among the sand and gravel.

Their movements were quick and efficient, displaying a dexterity honed through daily labor.

She bent down, picked up a scallop with colorful patterns that was bigger than her palm, weighed it in her hand, and then put it into her basket.

Several more cat's-eye snails were found clustered together, and they were easily peeled off the rock with a finger.

A group of clams, dark in color but not small in size, were half-buried in the sand. She dug them out with a small rake.

Some brightly colored small sea snails, you can grab a handful at a time. Although there isn't much meat, they're great for making soup.

In her basket, various seashells and conches collided with each other, making a clear, tinkling sound, and gradually piled up.

"Big sister, there's fish here."

Er'er called out and stepped onto the seesaw to walk over.

I got angry as soon as I got the harpoon and turned around to look at it.

"I found it first, why did you go?"

Er'er shouted loudly, but Li Xiuying rolled her eyes in the darkness, ignoring the little girl's cries, and bent down to grab it herself.

"Aunt Li! Look at her."

Without thinking, Er'er complained to Aunt Li, and only then did Li Xiuying speak up slowly.

"So what if you saw it first? I caught it first because of my own abilities."

Upon hearing this, Er'er immediately used the seesaw to return to that spot.

He immediately grabbed the tail of the large mullet that was still wriggling desperately, while its gills were firmly held by his other hand.

"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'! This fish jumped over from that puddle, and I just happened to catch it, so it's mine!"

Li Xiuying raised her voice even louder, her spittle almost spraying onto Er'er's face, and she used force to try to snatch the fish away completely.

"You're talking nonsense! I clearly saw it first, and I was about to grab you when you rushed at me!"

Er'er was so angry that her face turned red, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go, her whole body was dragged and staggered by Li Xiuying.

Her little bucket was overturned to one side, and several small crabs were scrambling to escape inside.

Will you let go or not?

Er'er called out, and Xu Yiyi, who heard the commotion from afar, quickly rode over on the seesaw.

"Let go! You disrespectful little brat!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her and that she was afraid she would be taken advantage of, Li Xiuying exerted even more force, almost snatching the fish away.

She couldn't win in a strength contest, and seeing the fish about to slip through her fingers, Er'er became completely enraged.

He directly dissipated his strength, and without her struggling, Li Xiuying was badly harmed by her own great strength.

He suddenly fell backward, half of his body landing on the muddy beach.

They look so pitiful.

Before she could get up, Er'er pressed down on her stomach and grabbed Li Xiuying's hair with both hands.

"Ah—let me go!"

Li Xiuying screamed, but her voice quickly drowned out the roar of the wind and waves.

Who's calling that?

……

"What happened?"

……

"They're robbing us! Let's go check it out."

In the pitch black, no one could tell who was fighting whom, so they quickly gathered around.
