Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 43 Unexpectedly, a typhoon brings this good thing.
Wu Sui looked at the treasures all over the beach and squinted his eyes with joy.
As expected, the typhoon turned the seabed upside down, and all the valuable sediment hidden in the deep water was swept ashore.
"Brother, don't go near the water, just pick them up on the dry beach."
Wu Sui shouted and joined the ranks of those picking up money, carrying his bucket as well.
The three of them were like mice that had fallen into a rice jar, frantically sweeping the beach.
There's no need to look; just look down.
As Wu Sui picked them up, he activated the system radar in his mind.
A detection range of fifty meters was established.
On the light screen, countless green lights almost formed a continuous expanse.
But Wu Sui's attention was not on these green lights.
He was looking for something more valuable.
As the radar swept across a pile of rocks covered with seaweed, a dazzling blue light suddenly entered the field of vision.
The light was brighter than any other seafood they had encountered before.
"nice one!"
Wu Sui's heart skipped a beat, and he strode towards the pile of rubble with the bucket in his hand.
Peel back the thick layer of seaweed, and underneath lies a ditch half a meter deep.
A snail was half-buried in the mud and sand at the bottom of the ditch.
Wu Sui squatted down and used both hands to pry it out.
This snail is as big as a large bowl. Its shell is a rough grayish-brown color and covered with raised spirals. It is very heavy and weighs at least three or four pounds.
The snail meat is tightly tucked inside the shell, and the thick, meaty flesh can be vaguely seen.
"Big brother, come and see what this is?" Wu Sui held up the giant conch shell in his hand.
Wu Gang ran over carrying half a bucket of sea cucumbers.
Upon seeing what Wu Sui was holding, Wu Gang gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Second brother, this...this is a giant conch shell!"
Wu Gang was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together, and even his voice was trembling.
"A conch shell? Is it valuable?" Su Yu also came over, curiously examining the ugly-looking conch shell.
"It's valuable!" Wu Gang swallowed hard, pointing at the conch shell as he explained.
"These things usually live in the deep sea mud dozens of meters deep, and it's usually very difficult for fishing boats to catch them when they cast their nets. I never expected that they would be swept up by the typhoon."
Wu Gang gestured.
"These wild giant conchs can sell for over a hundred yuan per kilogram. This one is so big, it should sell for at least two or three thousand yuan."
Su Yu was stunned.
"This broken snail can sell for two or three thousand? That's practically picking up money off the ground."
Wu Sui weighed the conch shell in his hand and felt a surge of satisfaction.
Sure enough, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Brother Qiang was right!
"Alright, hurry up and pack it up, then keep looking for any others." Wu Sui put the conch shell into the bucket.
The three of them turned into ruthless picking machines, collecting sea cucumbers, conch shells, and even a few coconut snails.
Its shell is a beautiful yellow with black spots, and it is larger than a conch shell, weighing at least ten kilograms.
The meat in this thing isn't actually very tasty; it's tough and old.
But this thing has a chance to yield Melaleuca.
Melo Pearls, also known as "Dragon Balls," have flame patterns on their surface.
To people living by the sea, this is not only valuable, but also a symbol of good luck.
Wu Sui was happily fantasizing that these coconut snails would open up Merlot pearls when, without paying attention, he turned around and screamed in fright.
"Su Yu, you fucking get back here!"
Wu Sui didn't even bother with the coconut shell in his hand, he just threw it on the beach and ran straight to the sea.
Su Yu was completely absorbed in the two sea cucumbers, and didn't notice the wall of water that was rapidly rising on the sea surface in front of him.
The hidden dangers during typhoons are the most deadly.
The surface appears calm, but beneath it lies a well-suppressed power.
"Angkor, there are two big ones here..."
Su Yu heard the shout and straightened up to turn around.
A loud crash.
A wave more than two meters high crashed heavily onto the edge of the beach, instantly swallowing Su Yu whole.
Su Yu fell into the seawater and tried to get up but couldn't stand up.
"Help... gurgle..."
Su Yu was so frightened that he flailed his arms and legs wildly in the water.
Wu Gang noticed the situation from a dozen meters away, turned pale with fright, dropped the bucket, and ran over.
But it's too far away.
At the critical moment, Wu Sui rushed to the water's edge.
He completely ignored the seawater splashing on his face, lunged forward, half his body submerged in the water, and grabbed Su Yu by the back of his collar.
The suction force of the receding waves was so great that it caused the mud and sand under Wu Sui's feet to slide outwards.
Wu Sui gritted his teeth and used his legs to forcefully push against a half-buried rock in the sand, managing to withstand the pulling force.
"Get up!"
Wu Sui's arm veins bulged as he forcefully pulled backward.
Su Yu was dragged and pulled out of the water like a tattered sack.
The two rolled around on the beach.
"Cough cough cough... vomit..."
Su Yu lay on the beach, his face pale and his whole body trembling.
Wu Gang finally ran up to them, panting, and pulled the two of them up.
"Are you out of your mind?" Wu Sui wiped the seawater off his face, pointed at Su Yu's nose, and cursed loudly.
"What did I just tell you? Just pick it up on the dry beach, why are you going into the water?"
Su Yu slumped onto the sand, watching the giant waves churning up again dozens of meters away, his whole body trembling like a leaf.
It was so close!
If Wu Sui hadn't stopped him, he would have been swept into the sea to feed the fish by now.
"Brother Wu... I was wrong, I wasn't paying attention..."
Su Yu's teeth chattered, and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"Second brother, it's good that you're alright. You scared me to death." Wu Gang patted his chest, still shaken.
Wu Sui glared at Su Yu, annoyed.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere!"
After saying that, Wu Sui turned around to pick up the coconut snails that he had just thrown on the ground.
After taking only two steps, a hoarse shout suddenly came from the sand dune.
"Hey, Wu Gang, the second son of the Wu family, what are you doing here? Are you out of your minds?"
Wu Sui looked up.
A gaunt old man wearing a tattered raincoat and carrying a long bamboo pole was trudging down the sand dune.
It's Old Zhang from the east end of the village.
This old man was a bachelor who usually helped the village committee guard the gate.
I guess the ducks ran away because of the typhoon today, so I'm out looking for them.
Old Zhang walked closer and looked, his gaze passing over Wu Sui and landing on the beach.
The ground was covered with dark sea cucumbers, and Wu Gang's bucket was full of goods.
Old Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, and the bamboo pole in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"My goodness... so many sea cucumbers?"
Old Zhang swallowed hard, and without even saying goodbye, he rushed to the beach, grabbed two sea cucumbers with both hands, and stuffed them into the large pocket of his raincoat.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! I never thought a typhoon would bring such good fortune."
Old Zhang picked them up while muttering to himself, his movements even faster than Su Yu's.
Wu Gang frowned and went over to stop him, but Wu Sui grabbed him.
"Never mind him, let's hurry up and pick them up, otherwise we won't be able to catch them when someone comes."
