Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 16 Picking Sea Cucumbers

"How can a woman go to sea?"

Shi Xia was stopped by a shout and turned to look at the man who was glaring at her with a frown.

Li Daniu, deputy captain of the island's fishing team.

As the name suggests, he is tall, dark, strong and has a stubborn temper.

Because there is only one motorized fishing boat on the island and because it is a collective production system, fishermen with good swimming skills form a fishing team and go out to sea according to the weather. The seafood will be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

This can also be considered a source of income on the island.

"Li Daniu, we are in the shallow sea, what's wrong with that?"

Wen Laoshi stepped forward and stood in front of Shi Xia.

Li Daniu breathed heavily from his huge nostrils and said dissatisfiedly, "No, women are not allowed on board."

Li Daniu was very stubborn, and Shi Xia stood out from behind Wen Laoshi.

"The Sea Goddess is also a woman. Go and explain everything to her first, then talk to me."

Shi Xia's words left Li Daniu speechless.

"Well, there's no such thing as women being forbidden from boarding ships since ancient times."

Cao Ping, the captain of the fishing team, stepped forward and said, "Shi Xia, it's not that women are not allowed to go out to sea, it's just that going out to sea is too tiring and requires a lot of strength."

When Cao Ping said this, his eyes were filled with the thought: You are too weak.

Shi Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled, full of confidence, and said without any nonsense: "I can hold my breath for thirteen minutes."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I only held my breath for six minutes, and I'm already the best!"

Li Daniu shouted loudly, and Cao Ping looked at Shi Xia in disbelief and said, "Shi Xia, there's no need to tell this lie."

"She didn't lie!"

Wen Cheng'an came, limping, followed by the two Chen brothers from the fishing team.

Wen Cheng'an stood next to Shi Xia, and the arrogant Master Wen appeared again.

"Six minutes of pride is bullshit! I can dive for nine and a half minutes, and you can't catch up with me. What are you so proud of?"

"Say it again, kid!"

Li Daniu pointed at Wen Chengan and was about to come over. The two Chen brothers rushed over first and stopped Li Daniu.

"Daniu, don't be impulsive!"

"We're all from the island, there's no need to hurt the relationship."

The most important thing is, if you anger that evil star, even you, a big bull, will be turned into minced beef.

Li Daniu was pulled back and shouted at Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an.

"Who can't brag? If you two can hold your breath better than me, I'll make my head full of oysters!"

"If you have the ability, let's compete now, do you two dare?"

Wen Chengan was about to step forward, but was scared back by Shi Xia's look.

Wen Chengan: Who is he doing this for?
Shi Xia glanced at Wen Cheng'an and then looked directly at Li Daniu.

"The teacher said women hold up half the sky, and the Sea Goddess didn't say anything, so why are you nagging?"

"Besides, this is our own ship and everyone's sea. Why do I need your consent?"

"I'm wasting my time trying to prove it to you. You're really proud of yourself just because you have a big face!"

"go!"

Shi Xia turned around, grabbed the fishing boat with one hand, and said to Wen Chengan, "You go first."

Although Wen Cheng'an and Shi Xia don't get along, they still have a tacit understanding when they face the same enemy.

He raised his head, easily climbed over, and jumped into the fishing boat, followed by Wen Laoshi.

When both of them went up, Shi Xia ignored the shouting behind him and pushed the fishing boat with one hand.

When she had enough buoyancy, she supported herself on the side of the boat with one hand and easily jumped out of the sea, the splashes she made sparkling brightly in the ocean.

She sat down comfortably and the boat went out to sea.

A group of women on the shore looked at Shi Xia's back, with indescribable emotions in their hearts.

Some complain, some despise, and some envy.

It turns out that women can be so cool!
Cao Ping from the fishing team was very surprised after watching Shi Xia's series of actions.

Is it so easy to push a fishing boat?
Are the fishing boats they usually push fake?
"What does she mean...it piss me off! I'll wait for her to come back!"

Li Daniu was still shouting when he was stopped by the two brothers of the Chen family.

"Cousin, please stop yelling. I'm beating you like it's fun!" "That's right! Just be quiet."

Li Daniu looked at the two Chen brothers, shook off their pull and said, "Nonsense!"

The two brothers of the Chen family looked at each other: Damn it, no one believes the truth!

After the little incident on the shore, the fishing fleet also set off.

Because of the power device, they also saw Wen Laoshi near the shallow sea.

Wen Laoshi was the only one on the boat; Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an were not there.

The fishing team did not stop, but Cao Ping looked back curiously several times and did not see Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an coming out of the sea.

Could they really hold their breath for that long?
The fishing boat gradually sailed away, and Wen Laoshi on the small fishing boat became a little anxious.

He also didn't know whether what Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an said was true or false.

He could only stare at the sea level, anxiously waiting for the two people.

At this time, Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an hit the bottom of the sea.

Shi Xia pointed at a dark brown, palm-sized, plump sea cucumber with soft thorns. Wen Cheng'an nodded to show that he understood.

Shi Xia handed Wen Chengan a clamp, and the two opened the net bag and started picking sea cucumbers.

While picking up the items, Wen Cheng'an thought: I'm so lucky.

I encountered seafood as soon as I came down.

That’s not right either, it’s the place chosen by Shi Xia.

I have to say, this guy is really lucky!
People living by the sea still believe in things like luck.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an picked sea cucumbers together, and became more and more addicted to it.

This thing can be sold for money after being dried.

Now, they are just like picking up money. Anyone would be addicted.

Shi Xia was counting the time while picking up sea cucumbers. After nine minutes, she activated her special abilities to make Wen Cheng'an feel a little more relaxed and also to strengthen his ability to hold his breath.

After about ten minutes, Shi Xia swam towards the excited Wen Cheng'an, pulled him, and pointed his finger upwards.

Only then did Wen Cheng'an realize that a long time had passed.

The two of them quickly tread water and move upwards.

At the same time, Wen Laoshi knelt in the boat and kowtowed in all directions.

"Goddess of the Sea, please keep these two children safe and sound."

"If you want to take my life, take my life. I shouldn't have let them go!"

"Bless, bless, please be safe and sound..."

Wow!

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an, with wet heads, emerged from the sea at the same time, which scared Wen Laoshi.

After seeing it clearly, Wen Laoshi burst into tears of joy.

"You two... can really hold your breath!"

The first thing Wen Laoshi thought of was that the two children would not starve to death in the future.

Shi Xia knew that Wen Laoshi was worried, and Wen Chengan also noticed it, but he didn't know how to get along with Wen Laoshi.

"Uncle Wen, this is a matter of life and death, we don't joke around."

"Come on, we found a sea cucumber!"

Shi Xia held the side of the boat with one hand and pulled the net bag upwards with the other.

"Sea cucumber?"

Wen Laoshi originally thought that a few dozen would be enough, but it was not until he saw a full bag that he understood the meaning of a piece.

Next, Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an took a short rest and dived again.

When the sea cucumbers were almost all taken away, the three people moved to another place, went into the sea again, and fished again.

After two waves, Wen Laoshi was already numb.

It must be because he worshipped the Sea Goddess so sincerely that he gained such a great harvest.

Shi Xia looked at the sea cucumbers that filled up half of the boat and waved her hand.

"go home!"
