Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Jinchen swam to the place where there was unusual movement and thought it was some rare marine creature. He never expected it to be two large sea turtles fighting.

However, the turtle could not be killed, and he saw something buried in the sand. When he pried it open, he found that it was a very large scallop.

Not bad either.

Jinchen stopped Linggungun from biting it, and just dug out those plump abalones and stuffed them into the net bag which was almost full, and the net mouth could hardly be tied.

He was like a fish in water, swimming leisurely underwater.

The people on the boat began to worry.

Seeing that the men who went into the water together held their breath to their limits and climbed back to the boat one after another, gasping for breath, when counting the number of people, they found that only Jinchen was missing.

"Where's Chenzi? Why hasn't he come up yet?"

Liu Ping'an wiped the sea water off his face and looked around anxiously.

"Yes, it's true that he is good at swimming and can hold his breath for a long time, but isn't this too long?" someone next to him echoed with uneasiness in his tone.

"It's almost... Could it be..."

Uncle Liu frowned, estimated the time in his mind, and felt something was amiss, but he still managed to calm everyone down.

"Let's wait and see, maybe that kid has found something good."

However, half a quarter of an hour passed quickly in the anxious waiting.

There is still no sign of Jinchen showing up.

Everyone on the boat felt gloomy and the atmosphere became heavy and even a little sad.

Some people have already started sighing and even have red eyes.

Everyone knows what it means to hold your breath for too long and be unable to come up in this vast ocean.

"Tatsuko...sigh..."

"What a good young man."

It was a gloomy and sad scene.

Jinchen's head popped out of the water at the stern.

He took a breath and looked at the people on the boat who were dejected and sighing in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

【What happened to them?】Jinchen asked.

After eating his fill, Ling Gun Gun spat out a mouthful of water and felt relaxed.

【I don’t know~】

Jinchen grabbed the edge of the boat and climbed onto it nimbly, causing a splash of water, and asked in confusion.

"What are you doing? What happened? Is there something wrong with the internet?"

A man who happened to be facing him suddenly looked him in the face and screamed in fright.

"Ahhhh!"

Jinchen was startled: "???"

Liu Ping'an was surprised and happy, and rushed over to grab his arm.

"Tatsuko! You...you're still alive?!"

Jinchen became even more confused and touched his face and chest.

"Otherwise, should I die?"

Everyone finally came back to their senses from their shock and realized that they had made a huge mistake. They were immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and surrounded him, talking in a flurry, beating him up with a mixture of relief and fear.

Uncle Liu hit him with his water pipe, "You little bastard! You've been submerged for so long without making any movement, you scared us to death!"

"We thought you... Hey, forget it, don't bring bad luck to me."

"Your ability to swim is terrifying! You must be the reincarnation of the Sea Dragon King!"

Jinchen then realized the problem and thought to himself that he should take it easy in the future.

Don’t come out of the sea next time, because they have already prepared a mourning hall for you.

Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to Jinchen's net bag which was stuffed full of things.

When he poured out the harvest, everyone was stunned.

"Oh my god..."

"Are we really diving into the same sea?"

Liu Pingan sighed, "Chenzi, you brought the Dragon King's stove here!"

-

On the other side, Bu Changji avoided being seen and met Hai San who came down quietly from the stone building to meet him.

The two exchanged information in a hidden place behind the reef.

Bu Changji carefully compared the simple map brought by Hai San with the terrain he observed during the day and confirmed several possible areas.

"The thing is roughly in this area, and the specific entrance needs to be explored."

Bu Changji lowered his voice and tapped the map with his fingertips. "I'm hiding in that fisherman's house for the time being. That's where I'm least likely to arouse suspicion. You must remain in place. Without my signal, do not act rashly."

Hai San nodded respectfully, "Yes, Boss."

Bu Changji pondered for a moment, then continued, "As for Fang Yunyao... he seems to be cooperating, but he is the prince of the royal palace after all, and his intentions are unpredictable."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on him. Don't let him do anything tricky, or change his mind at the last minute and ruin everything."

"I understand, don't worry, boss." Hai San replied.

As he was speaking, Bu Changji's ears twitched slightly, and he heard faint noise and voices coming from the distant seashore, as if the fishing boats that had gone out to sea had returned.

He immediately signaled to Hai San, "Someone is coming back, go back quickly and don't let anyone see you."

Hai San nodded, quickly retreated into the shadow of the reef, and soon disappeared.

Bu Changji should have turned around and returned to Jinchen's cabin immediately to avoid attracting attention.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards the shore which was gradually becoming lively.

Some of the fishermen's families had gathered on the shore.

Liu Xiu immediately saw Bu Changji walking towards him. Seeing that his face was pale, but still strikingly handsome, he suddenly felt unhappy and frowned unhappily.

The fishing boat slowly approached the shore, and the men on the boat shouted to each other and began to pack up their catch and prepare to disembark.

Liu Xiu cheered up and held the water bag tightly in his hand.

As soon as Jinchen jumped off the boat, Liu Xiu couldn't wait to squeeze forward and handed him the water bucket, his voice sweet and soft.

"Brother Jin, you must be exhausted after a hard day at sea. Drink some water to refresh yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, Jinchen took the water bag without even looking at it, and handed it to Liu Pingan who had just got off the boat behind him.

"Ping An, next, your brother has brought you some water."

Liu Xiu: “…”

His smile froze, and he looked at his empty hands, his breath stuck in his chest.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Jin! This is specially prepared for you. My brother will drink it when he goes home."

"This is boiled with sour plums and then cooled. It's the perfect way to quench your thirst and beat the heat!"

Jinchen was bending down to pick up a heavy net bag. Hearing this, he waved his hand casually in a normal tone.

"Don't bother. I have fresh water at home. You can drink the same when you go back."

He didn't understand Liu Xiu's little thoughts at all.

Or rather, even if I understand it, I don’t care.

After saying that, Jinchen glanced around the shore and soon saw a figure standing on the outskirts of the crowd.

Jinchen immediately showed a bright smile on his face. He strode over, put the heavy harvest in his hand on the ground, and stood in front of Bu Changji.

"Why are you here? Did you come to pick me up?"

Bu Changji wanted to shake his head to deny it. He came here just on impulse, and out of habit of exploring the terrain.

But when Jinchen asked him so directly, if he denied it, it would seem strange. He couldn't find a suitable reason to explain why he appeared on this busy shore.

Bu Changji could only nod slightly stiffly, his ears burning, and said softly, "...Yes."

Jinchen was obviously very satisfied with this answer. His smile deepened and he habitually reached out and rubbed Bu Changji's hair, which was slightly cooled by the sea breeze.

"Let's go home and cook. We'll have the freshest seafood tonight. All you can eat."
