Chapter 76: Is This Right?!!!
Yun Xiaowu silently put down his bucket, stretched his neck, and peeked into his sister’s small bucket.
Then he fell silent.
It was all his fault for being stupid and thinking he had found many good things today.
Turns out his sister had come to release the goslings and ducklings, and had barely moved while squatting here, yet she found so many elephant trunk snails.
Yun Xiaowu immediately smiled obsequiously, “Jiaojiao, can your brother come and dig too~”
It’s better to follow his sister; his sister has invincible luck.
Yun Xiao Jiu also quickly ran over and joined the digging army.
The fluffy furballs, after eating their fill, followed Yun Jiao, imitating her as they dug sand pits.
But with their small bodies and little feet, they only managed to dig a shallow depth after half the day.
However, their spirit was commendable.
See, a few of them gathered to dig one pit, and when one got tired, another took over.
The outrageous thing was, they actually dug something up.
A not-so-big clam.
The slightly larger gosling even carried the clam to Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao: “Good boy, amazing.”
Children also need appropriate encouragement.
Yun Xiaowu and the others were astonished.
Isn’t it these two?
They are so young, and they already know how to find things?!
How does Jiaojiao communicate with these animals!
After they dug here for a while, other people tide pooling also noticed that the elephant trunk snails in this area seemed to be concentrated and numerous.
So they started digging not far away.
When Yun Jiao’s small bucket was full of elephant trunk snails, she looked up and realized she was unknowingly surrounded.
When did so many people arrive?!
“Yun Jiao is truly capable, digging so many elephant trunk snails at such a young age.”
“The elephant trunk snails here seem to be bigger and fatter.”
“Why didn’t we notice this before.”
“Those goslings and ducklings actually dug up quite a few clams!”
Most importantly, the clams they dug up weren’t eaten by them, but carried to Yun Jiao’s feet.
At this moment, more than ten clams had piled up at Yun Jiao’s feet, along with two cat’s eye snails.
No, is this right?!!!
Compared to Yun Xiaowu and the others who were only shocked for a moment before calming down, those who had never witnessed Yun Jiao’s magical abilities were just shocked, shocked, and more shocked!
Can you raise goslings, ducklings, and such like this?
Should they bring their own goslings, ducklings, and chicks to try it out one day?
“Jiaojiao.”
Yun Chenxi walked over. He had walked further and his bucket had quite a bit in it, but it was all common seafood from the tidal flats, not very valuable.
It wasn’t as valuable as the elephant trunk snails in Yun Jiao’s small bucket.
Seeing this now, he would regret it to death; if only he had followed Jiaojiao.
Now that there are so many people here, there’s no advantage in looking for elephant trunk snails anymore.
Most importantly, Yun Jiao didn’t want to look anymore.
She threw the more than ten clams into her brothers’ buckets and poured her own bucket of elephant trunk snails into Second Brother’s bucket.
Carrying her empty bucket, she held Second Brother’s hand.
“Brother, let’s go into the sea.”
Her sparkling pupils were filled with anticipation.
Alright.
He had promised the child.
“Let’s go.”
Yun Xiaowu and the others also got up.
“We want to go too!”
As soon as Yun Jiao left, the group of furballs naturally followed.
Under everyone’s gaze, they headed towards the beach.
Yun Jiao was happy thinking about swimming and diving in the sea later, holding Second Brother’s hand, her little head bobbing, humming a wordless song.
It was the basic chanting melody of merfolk, mysterious and pleasant.
Yun Chenxi and the others listened, not daring to disturb her.
The furballs behind them, which had been chirping, fell silent and only diligently moved their little feet to keep up.
Against the backdrop of the shimmering sea, the scene was like a comfortable painting.
Upon reaching the seaside, Yun Jiao admonished the furballs not to run around.
But then she thought that these little ones couldn’t understand her yet, and would only act on instinct or by imitating her. So she simply summoned her brothers to help her use small reef rocks and pebbles to outline a large circle, big enough for them to run in.
Inside the enclosure, there was also a small puddle where the ducklings and goslings could play.
Then she threw some small mud snails and sea sunflower seeds inside, and only after ensuring they couldn’t get out did she confidently go diving.
Yun Chenxi instructed: “Don’t run around, follow your brother, understand?”
Yun Jiao obediently nodded, indicating she understood.
Then she jumped into the sea with her Second Brother.
After swimming a certain distance, they dived to the seabed.
They were looking for things on the seabed. The light was just right now, and Yun Chenxi could see.
But this sea area was not far from the coast, and there were others diving and swimming here, so they generally couldn’t find anything good.
Yun Jiao was lucky and found two large whelks.
When Yun Chenxi was about to run out of breath and needed to go to the surface, he found Yun Jiao still looking for things as if nothing was wrong.
Moreover, her speed on the seabed was very fast, as if she belonged there naturally, a free and happy fish.
Yun Chenxi swam over and patted her, then pointed upwards, meaning it was time to go up for air.
Yun Jiao nodded, “Brother, you go quickly.”
They had been underwater for about five minutes.
Among the seafarers, this amount of time was considered a very long breath-hold.
At home, Yun Chenxi and Yun Xiaowu were the most skilled at swimming and diving, able to hold their breath for over five minutes in one go.
During this time, Yun Chenxi kept an eye on Yun Jiao and found that she was completely fine, which truly shocked him.
He and Yun Xiaowu had gradually trained to hold their breath for such a long time.
But Yun Jiao had never practiced before.
This was too heaven-defying.
Yun Chenxi swam to the sea surface and popped his head out to take a breath.
After waiting for a while, he found that Yun Jiao still hadn’t come up.
Yun Chenxi: “???”
He took a deep breath and dived back into the sea.
He swam to the previous spot and found that Yun Jiao had moved further ahead and had no intention of surfacing for air.
Yun Chenxi: “!!!”
Is this right?!!!
He swam over to call Yun Jiao, but found a familiar large animal swimming towards them.
Was it the sea turtle they had kept for a few days before it ran away?
Sea turtles of the same species look alike, so Yun Chenxi wasn’t sure.
Yun Chenxi didn’t know that after he left, Yun Jiao cheerfully sang the song of the merfolk underwater.
That’s why the sea turtle came over.
Yun Chenxi watched as Yun Jiao swam over, lay on the sea turtle’s back, turned around, and waved at him as if to say hello.
Then the sea turtle carried her towards the surface.
Yun Chenxi also quickly followed.
“Jiaojiao, do you feel uncomfortable?”
After all, holding her breath for such a long time in the sea, he was still very worried.
Yun Jiao shook her head, lying on the sea turtle’s back with clear and innocent eyes, shaking her head.
“No.”
If it weren’t for fearing he would worry, Yun Jiao wouldn’t have wanted to come up.
She proudly tilted her head: “I told you, I can hold my breath for an extremely long time.”
Yun Chenxi: Your time is way too long.
“I almost thought you could breathe underwater. How old are you?”
Yun Jiao’s gaze shifted.
Yun Jiao felt guilty.
It’s… it’s actually true what Second Brother guessed.
