Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Lin Xia parked her 8-seater motorboat in the area designated by Zack. Zack asked everyone to put on life jackets and then took care of the girls getting on the boat.

Lin Xia sat in the driver's seat, and Zack sat next to her so that he could guide Lin Xia in learning driving techniques. Sister Juan and the other two each found a seat in the back and fastened their seat belts.

Zack skillfully helped Lin Xia start the motorboat. The engine roared and the boat sped across the water.

Lin Xia gripped the steering wheel nervously, her eyes fixed on the front.

Zack sat aside leisurely, guiding Lin Xia.

"Relax, you are driving well. Just pay attention to the energy display in front and on the dashboard. Generally, there won't be any big problems..." Zack's voice made Lin Xia feel a little relieved.

As time went by, Lin Xia gradually got used to the feeling of driving a motorboat, and she began to enjoy the thrill of speeding on the water.

Just then, a group of seagulls appeared in front, circling in the air.

Lin Xia carefully steered the motorboat to avoid hitting the seagulls.

Zach looked at Lin Xia's focused look and gave her a priceless compliment: "You learn really fast, Lin Xia."

Soon they arrived at the beach covered with reefs, suitable for catching seafood. Under Zack's guidance, Lin Xia slowly slowed down the motorboat, selected a suitable location for anchoring, and moored the boat.

Zack jumped onto the shore first, tied the fixed rope to a large rock on the shore, and then sent several girls to shore safely.

Zach introduced to everyone: "This is where we are going to catch seafood today. It is low tide now, and there will be a lot of seafood in the low-lying areas of the beach and under various large and small rocks. But be careful of the reefs under your feet and don't fall, because there are many rocks here, so you'd better not take off your shoes."

"Sister Juan, Sasha, Lili, I have some high-quality rain boots here. Come over and put them on. You won't be afraid of these small stones." Lin Xia asked everyone to find a dry place and took out 4 pairs of knee-high rain boots and handed them to everyone.

Everyone excitedly took off their shoes, put on rain boots, and couldn't wait to walk towards the rocks on the beach.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, everyone felt particularly happy. Under the guidance of the half-baked Lin Xia and the experienced Zack, they bent down and began to look for seafood among the reefs.

After a while, Shasha was the first to spot a crab, which was quietly crawling out from under a rock. She immediately reached out carefully and used the clamps provided by Lin Xia to catch the crab, and shouted happily: "Wow, I caught it!"

Sister Juan next to her immediately said anxiously: "Hurry up, throw it into the bucket, don't let it run away!"

At this time, Lili's voice came from the side: "Hey, there is a big fish in the pit over here, and there are many small fish, come quickly, I don't know how to catch them~"

"Here it comes, don't worry~" Upon hearing this, Sasha immediately threw the crabs into the bucket handed to her by Sister Juan, and then ran towards Lili in a hurry, her whole body revealing excitement.

As everyone gained something, cheers echoed across the beach like waves. The originally quiet beach instantly became lively, full of vitality and surprises. People were completely immersed in the fun activity of catching fish at the beach, with satisfied and happy smiles on their faces.

We searched happily for about two hours and harvested three large buckets of shrimp, crabs, fish, clams, abalone, etc., which made us completely satisfied.

So they put the harvested seafood into the fresh-keeping room at the rear of the motorboat, and asked Lin Xia to find a flat place and put out the tent. Several people had to change into the diving suits provided by Zack first, and the other diving equipment could be put on directly on the boat later.

After changing, the girls got on the boat again and headed for the diving area.

This time, Zack gave the coordinates to Lin Xia in advance and let her learn by herself how to input the motorboat, how to read the coordinates, and find a berth. He finally pointed out the shortcomings. This teaching method made Lin Xia's driving skills improve by leaps and bounds.

The three people behind him sighed that Zach was really a reliable teacher.

Lin Xia followed Zach's instructions and successfully entered the coordinates and found a berth. After she parked the motorboat steadily, the five of them began to prepare for diving.

Zach patiently introduced to them various precautions for diving, such as how to wear diving equipment correctly, how to adjust breathing to adapt to the underwater environment, etc. He also emphasized safety issues and told everyone how to deal with emergencies.

Then, Zach carefully explained the importance of hand gestures and demonstrated some common hand gestures. These gestures can help divers communicate better underwater, such as ascending, descending, and staying. He asked everyone to practice these gestures with him to ensure that everyone could master them. After everything was ready, they jumped into the water one after another, and the beautiful underwater world appeared before their eyes.

Under the sparkling sea, the sun shines through the water, casting mottled shadows, illuminating this mysterious and fascinating area. Various colorful corals grow in competition with each other, with different shapes, some stretching like branches, and some blooming like flowers; and the small fish and shrimps shuttle between them, as if dancing between the beating notes. In the distance, groups of whales swim gracefully, their huge bodies give people endless shock; sea turtles slowly swing their limbs, leisurely enjoying this peaceful ocean.

Surrounded by colorful corals and fish, they enjoyed the wonderful sight.

Zack always guided them diligently and responsibly, paying attention to the surrounding environment at all times. He also took out an underwater camera to take pictures of them and the beautiful scenery around them.

When the diving was over, everyone returned to the boat with full memories and joy. This experience not only allowed them to harvest abundant seafood, but also added an unforgettable friendship and awe of nature.

On the return trip, it was Zack who drove. Diving is really very physically demanding, especially for those who lack experience. Lin Xia did not force herself. After taking off the heavy diving equipment on the boat, she took out various homemade dishes and handed them to everyone so that everyone could replenish their lost energy.

When they returned to the beach house, it was almost 12 noon. They went to Zack's house to get ready. Huo An had already prepared lunch in advance, including fresh fruits, salads and sandwiches.

Lin Xia was very touched and said, "Brother Huo, I didn't expect you to be so considerate. That's awesome!"

Huo An, who was quite happy to hear the gratitude from Sister Juan and the others, started to retort as usual after hearing what Lin Xia said: "What do you mean? Am I not considerate?"

When he saw Sister Juan and the others, he smiled warmly again, but whispered, "Forget it, since there are so many beauties here today, I won't bother with you. You are just here by the way, just eat and don't say anything more... Come on, everyone has played for a whole morning, you must be hungry and tired, come and eat~"

Lin Xia rubbed her nose after being scolded, and took out various dishes she had made from the space.

Everyone sat together, eating and chatting, sharing the fun of this trip to the beach and diving.

"Thanks to Zach and Lin Xia for giving us such an unforgettable experience!" said Sister Juan.

"Yes, this is my first time to go surfing and diving. It's so much fun!" Sasha said excitedly.

"Let's explore more mysteries of the ocean together next time!" Lili said expectantly.

Diving is always addictive. Once you dive and experience the charm of the seabed, you will want to do it again and again. . .

Zach and Lin Xia looked at each other and smiled: "Of course no problem!"

Sister Juan thanked Huo An on behalf of the others: "Thank you Mr. Huo for taking care of our little sister Lin Xia for so long. Here's a toast to you!"

"Ahaha~ Beautiful lady, no, Miss Juanjuan, you're welcome. I'm just a warm-hearted person. I just can't stand seeing others get into trouble. Haha, don't worry, I'm here. I will do my best for Lin Xia in the future, don't worry~"

Sister Juan and Lili smiled at each other, and happily toasted Huo An again, thanking him and praising him as much as possible~

Huo An, the businessman who had always been known for his cunning and made Lin Xia wary, actually had a day when he was so overwhelmed and at a loss what to do after being praised so much!

You are really worthy of being my sister Juan!
