Chapter 295: Another Encounter With The Sea Eagle
With great difficulty, the onlookers were sent away, and it was already time for lunch.
“Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll eat on the boat.”
Eating instant noodles and big white mantou.
Of course, preparations are still needed.
With so many people, one boat is definitely not enough, so we still need to find another boat.
Today, the main purpose is to take Chu An, along with the Shen brothers and Wang Hongfei, out to sea for an experience. We’ll just find an island to play on and not go fishing at sea.
Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei can’t get away; they have two pigs at home to raise, and they have to go gather pig feed every day now.
When they first started raising pigs, Yun Jiao and her older brothers were quite excited, but after a period of time, they weren’t happy anymore.
Two pigs eat a lot of food every day, and dealing with them is troublesome, the most crucial thing is that they stink.
They poop everywhere after eating, so the pigsty has to be cleaned up every day.
Pork is delicious, but pigs are really hard to raise, and it takes about a year to raise them before you can eat them.
“Bye bye, Mom and Aunt. Jiaojiao will bring you back things.”
Wearing a straw hat for sun protection, a small cattail fan, and her little bucket, sack, water kettle, small bag, and snacks, Yun Jiao bravely and proudly followed behind her father and uncle.
Chu An worried, “Let me help carry some, it must be tiring for Jiaojiao to carry so many things.”
“It’s not tiring at all.”
Yun Jiao indicated that she wanted to carry her own things.
Yun Chennan smiled and said, “You should worry about yourself. Jiaojiao’s strength is greater than yours.”
“Hehe, I don’t believe it.”
Yun Chennan glanced at him, “You really aren’t wearing a straw hat? What if your skin gets sunburned?”
Chu An glanced at Jiaojiao, “It’s not that scary. I work at home often too, and I’m not so delicate. Besides, didn’t you say Jiaojiao often goes out to sea? Why does she look so fair and tender?”
On the other hand, the two adults of the Yun family, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, were indeed very dark.
“She doesn’t get tanned, it’s natural.”
As they were speaking, they had already arrived at the dock.
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe separated, and several people dispersed onto two boats.
“Hold on tight, we’re leaving.”
The hand-rowed boat made Chu An and Jiaojiao’s two cousins eager to try, and after a while, they wanted to give it a go.
Yun Linhe and Yun Linhai let them try.
And then…
“It’s crooked, it’s crooked, why are you going backward?”
“Stop spinning in circles, I’m getting dizzy.”
There were simply all sorts of problems.
This is a typical example of how it looks easy when others do it, and bystanders think they know how, but when they actually try, they find they have no clue!
Chu An chuckled sheepishly, “I didn’t expect this to be a skill.”
Yun Linhe laughed heartily, “It’s normal to be unskilled the first time. When we first learned, we also had all sorts of other situations.”
“Let me have it.”
“Dad, Dad, I’ll do it, you rest.”
On the other boat, Yun Jiao’s childish voice rang out.
Everyone looked at her.
Then they saw Yun Jiao grabbing the oar and rowing vigorously, her movements faster than Yun Linhai’s, and the boat shot forward.
Chu An: …………
The Shen brothers: …………
Wang Hongfei: …………
No, this makes us look useless, not even as good as a four-year-old child.
Yun Chennan patted Chu An’s shoulder, “Don’t look at Jiaojiao’s age, she’s strong, and this isn’t the first time she’s helped row the boat.”
Chu An chuckled, “Jiaojiao is really… multi-talented.”
Yun Linhe continued to row the boat and followed them.
Soon, Chu An was shocked to discover that after such a long time, Yun Jiao was still rowing the boat in front, but she looked incredibly energetic and didn’t seem tired at all.
No, is this right?
Such a small child, rowing for such a long time!
He turned his head to ask Yun Chennan, but found him looking as if he were accustomed to it.
Even the two Shen brothers were calm.
Only Wang Hongfei was a bit shocked, as he hadn’t spent much time with Yun Jiao, and she hadn’t often shown her great strength in front of him.
Yun Jiao rowed for more than half an hour before Yun Linhai took over.
Sitting back on the boat, she took a big white mantou out of her small bag and was about to put it in her mouth when she noticed Chu An and her cousin uncle on the boat behind them looking at her with expressions of disbelief.
Yun Jiao: ???
Her little face was blank.
Yun Chennan’s mouth curved up, “They’re surprised by your strength.”
Yun Jiao said “oh,” and it was nothing; she was used to it.
Besides, this was nothing compared to what she could do.
Yun Jiao continued eating.
Midway through eating, there was a noise from the bottom of the boat.
This sound was somewhat familiar.
She leaned over the side of the boat and indeed saw two giant sea turtles swimming alongside them in the sea.
Yun Jiao waved at them.
“Gui Yi, Gui Er.”
She broke off a piece of the mantou in her hand and threw it into the sea. The two sea turtles unceremoniously took it and slowly ate it, then continued to chase the boat.
Chu An looked amazed, “You know sea turtles in the ocean?”
Yun Chennan said, “Yes, these two sea turtles and Jiaojiao play very well together.”
This time, Wang Hongfei looked calm, “What’s this? Jiaojiao also has a good relationship with orca pods.”
“You haven’t seen her riding orcas in the sea, I’m telling you, it’s so exciting…”
Chu An’s mouth gaped open, “Or, orcas?!”
What? Are you speaking human language? Not only do you know orcas, but you can also ride them in the sea?
Wang Hongfei had a look of “you’re making a fuss over nothing.”
“That’s right, Jiaojiao is quite popular with those big fish in the sea.”
He completely forgot that when he first saw it, he was just as shocked as Chu An.
“There’s an island up ahead, let’s go there.”
That island was one they hadn’t explored before.
The two boats sailed to the island, and after the group disembarked, those who were tide pooling on an island for the first time looked at everything with surprise.
“There are so many sea snails on these reefs, and they’re not small either.”
Chu An pointed at the mussels growing densely on a reef.
“What is this? Can this be eaten?”
It was clear that he knew nothing about the seaside.
“Mussels, of course they can be eaten, but they’re very cheap. Be careful when picking them, the edges of mussel shells are very sharp.”
“Okay, okay…”
He didn’t care if it was expensive or not, as long as it was edible, so he excitedly went to dig for them.
Yun Linhai looked around, “There are a lot of mussels here, and they’re quite plump. Let’s bring more back.”
Yun Jiao said, “I want to go look elsewhere.”
“Go ahead, be careful not to fall.”
Yun Jiao, carrying her small bucket and sack, headed in another direction.
She wasn’t in a hurry to find things, humming a song as she swayed her head.
“Screech!”
The cry of a bird sounded in the sky. The moment Yun Jiao looked up, she saw something wobbling and falling in her direction.
I’ll dodge!
The moment she dodged, the thing fluttered down to the spot where she had just been standing.
Huh? It looks a bit familiar.
“It’s you, you big silly bird.”
Staring at the thing struggling in its claws, Yun Jiao was speechless.
“No way, you caught another heavy thing and dropped it from the sky?”
