Chapter 77: Sea Turtles, Born To Take The Blame
Yun Chenxi was relieved to confirm that Yun Jiao could hold her breath underwater for so long, feeling much more at ease.
So Yun Jiao became even more unrestrained.
Lying on the giant sea turtle’s back, she was taken to a farther place.
Yun Chenxi only admonished her, “Don’t go too far, remember to come back.”
That sea turtle was also sentient; although Yun Chenxi was still a bit worried, he let Yun Jiao go.
Yun Jiao happily slapped the sea surface with her feet, making the seawater splash noisily.
After her little attempts, she could now swim freely in the sea.
“Let’s go play on the seabed.”
This time Yun Jiao went a little farther, to a place where hardly anyone dived.
As soon as she and the giant sea turtle reached the seabed, they discovered a large starfish.
It was much bigger than Yun Jiao’s face.
This one was edible.
The price it was sold for wasn’t expensive.
Put it away.
There were also sea urchins, and quite a lot of them.
But… she didn’t bring any tools for carrying things.
She didn’t even want to touch the spines of the sea urchin, so she could only look at them wistfully and sigh.
Next time she comes, she must bring her tools.
Over here, she picked up several large whelks.
She couldn’t hold them all, so she found a fishing line floating in the sea and tied the whelks together in a string.
“Giant sea turtle, help me carry this.”
Having a helper made things convenient; the fishing line was hung directly on the giant sea turtle’s hind flippers.
Five large whelks were already strung on it.
Suddenly, she saw several jellyfish.
The sea turtle also saw them.
The person and the turtle swam towards the jellyfish without any prior arrangement.
Yun Jiao grabbed one.
The giant sea turtle grabbed one in its mouth.
Delicious!
The jellyfish tentacles fell onto Yun Jiao’s hand.
She didn’t mind, it was a good chance to test if her body was resistant to poison now.
The result proved that the jellyfish’s poison had no effect on her.
Yun Jiao: Happy (ω)
It was impossible to bring these back, so she had to stuff them into her mouth.
The person and the turtle floated in the sea, happily eating snacks.
She grabbed a few more, this time to feed the giant sea turtle.
After feeding, Yun Jiao started to manipulate the giant sea turtle.
“I’ll give you delicious food, and you have to bring me delicious food in the future too.”
The giant sea turtle’s Doudou Yan looked at Yun Jiao.
No problem!
Yun Jiao patted its head: “Good friend, good mount!”
The two of them went wild playing on the seabed.
Because she didn’t bring any tools for carrying things, Yun Jiao picked and chose, catching a few large prawns.
She couldn’t carry them, so she ate them on the spot, dividing a prawn larger than her palm into two halves.
She threw the part with the head to the giant sea turtle and the back part into her own mouth.
Chewing something in her mouth, her eyes scanned around for any other good things.
She discovered a large moray eel.
Yun Jiao swam over with a whoosh, and when she tried to catch it, the moray eel tried to twist its head and bite her.
She retaliated with a big slap, making the large moray eel, as thick as her arm, dazed.
Finally, dragging its tail, she said: “Let’s go back!”
She was very brave and proud.
The sea turtle had fishing lines hanging from both its legs.
On one side were sea snails and some scallops, and on the other were large crabs and shrimp.
Yun Jiao held a large starfish in one hand, the tail of the large moray eel in the other, and chewed and swallowed a shrimp tail she held in her mouth.
She even let out a burp.
Full.
Emerging from the sea, Yun Jiao turned her head and looked around, spotting Yun Chenxi and Yun Xiaowu not far away.
“Second Brother, Fifth Brother~”
The two heard the sound and looked over simultaneously, completely relieved to see her.
Heaven knows how long they had been looking for her!
“Where did you run off to?”
Yun Jiao’s exquisitely beautiful little face showed an innocent expression.
“I don’t know, the giant sea turtle took me wherever it went.”
The giant sea turtle was naturally a scapegoat.
Giant sea turtle: …………
Thank you so much.
Yun Chenxi and Yun Xiaowu stared at the giant sea turtle.
“Why did you take Jiao Jiao so far? What if something happened? Can you bring back a Jiao Jiao for us?”
Giant sea turtle: I don’t understand, I don’t understand…
“Second Brother, look.”
Yun Jiao quickly handed over the large moray eel and starfish she was holding.
“Such a large moray eel!”
“It’s dead?”
Moray eels are fierce; it’s unlikely it could be brought back alive by Jiao Jiao like this.
When he reached out to grab it, the moray eel suddenly twisted its neck to bite him.
If he hadn’t pulled his hand back quickly, he would have been firmly bitten.
Yun Jiao’s small eyes glared, and with a smooth and fluid motion, she delivered a big slap.
Very good, it was dazed again.
Yun Chenxi: …………
Case closed, Jiao Jiao was fiercer than it!
The starfish was also not small in size.
But the price at the purchase station for this kind of thing was cheap; such a large one might only sell for five mao.
Even a mosquito leg is still meat; no one disliked it.
Yun Jiao let out another satisfied burp.
Yun Xiaowu squinted his eyes. Given his sister’s habit of wanting to taste everything she saw.
He directly asked: “Did you eat something?”
Yun Jiao covered her mouth: “No.”
She refuted with a very loud voice.
Yun Chenxi flicked her head: “No? The more guilty you are, the louder your voice gets.”
Yun Jiao: …………
Nonsense!
“Why are you so mouthy? It would be tastier if Grandma marinated it raw than eating it directly!”
Yun Jiao muttered softly: “I couldn’t control myself.”
Marinated seafood was indeed delicious, and Yun Jiao craved it.
Even if her stomach wasn’t craving it, her mouth was.
“What’s behind the giant sea turtle?”
Yun Xiaowu noticed something unusual, then went behind the giant sea turtle and pulled up the fishing line, gasping.
Yun Chenxi’s eyes widened too.
They thought Yun Jiao had already made a good catch with such a large moray eel, but they didn’t expect there was so much more behind it!
There were seven or eight large whelks alone, and five scallops, and they were not small in size.
Scallops are also called precious scallops, and due to their exceptionally delicious flavor, the price at the purchase point is not cheap but not too expensive either.
This is because the edible part of the scallop, the precious scallop, is only a small portion, a cylindrical piece of meat slightly larger than a coin.
If dried, these sell for a high price, but these with the shells are relatively cheap.
Because the shells are heavy!
Whelks are generally sold by the piece. The whelks Yun Jiao picked were basically larger than an adult man’s palm, and most exceeded a jin in size.
These sell for one yuan and fifty cents each.
“The ones here are crabs and shrimp.”
Yun Xiaowu, like opening a mystery box, pulled up the fishing line bit by bit.
The first thing that appeared was a plump bread crab, not small in size.
Behind it was a tiger prawn.
Then another swimming crab, prawn, orchid crab…
Because the fishing line had limited length, Yun Jiao had chosen only the large ones.
This surprised and shocked Yun Chenxi and Yun Xiaowu greatly.
“Tell us, how far did you run!”
Just looking at these items, it was clear they must have gone well beyond their usual activity range!
Yun Jiao: “I don’t know.”
Don’t ask, if you ask, she doesn’t know.
She can’t do math, so how would she know how far she ran.
At such a young age, she had a thick skin, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
Yun Chenxi: I relaxed a little with you, but I didn’t let you completely go wild!
