Seven Strings in Dreams
Chapter 11 Parting on bad terms
Meng Xianyu carried the fish basket and a small rake and was ready to set off. Wu Na pulled her along and handed her a small fishing net.
Wu Na: "Xianyu, please change into these shoes. I was in a hurry this morning, so I put them in my pocket."
Wu Na took out a pair of shoes from her bosom. Meng Xianyu sat down and put on the shoes. The shoes were quite comfortable and the size was just right. I don’t know what material they were made of, but they were quite sturdy and waterproof.
Leah, who was watching them from a distance, felt extremely upset.
Liya: "Ali, why did you ask Wu Na and Xian Yu to come together?"
Wu La: "Wuna finally has a friend, but he's leaving soon. Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Leah: "Look, they can't help at all. If we hadn't waited for them, we would have left long ago. Look, there's nothing here!"
Wu La: "Liya, there is no more here, let's go a little further away. If we can't get together, your Aji and brother won't blame us!"
Leah: "Ali!"
Wula: "That's enough! Yeshi, can you accompany Ali there?"
Yixi nodded: "Okay!"
Yixi walked unsteadily, carrying a fish basket almost as big as himself on his back, following behind Wula.
Leah had no choice but to follow closely.
By the time Meng Xianyu and Wu Na had packed up, these people had gone far away.
Meng Xianyu: "Wuna, look, Yixi and the others are going over there, should we go too?"
Wu Na: "Spread out! Let's go to the other side!"
Meng Xianyu: "That's right, if we spread out we can find more! Finish the work early and rest early!"
Wu Na: "Let's go! Follow me closely!"
Meng Xianyu: "Okay!"
The two people went in opposite directions.
Wu Na was not interested in many small things, but Meng Xianyu was as happy as a child. Meng Xianyu found it difficult to throw the things she picked up into her own fish basket, so she just threw everything she picked up into Wu Na's basket. Wu Na followed her example and also threw the seafood she picked up into Meng Xianyu's basket.
There are usually two places to go fishing: one is a place with more reefs, where there are some seafood such as conchs, crabs, sea cucumbers and abalone. There are also some small fish! When choosing a reef area, try to find some flat terrain, not too rugged or steep. These places are more conducive to finding seafood at low tide and easier to leave at high tide. The sea water rises very quickly, and there are many unpredictable dangers.
The ebb and flow of the seawater is determined by the tides, and the first and fifteenth day of each month are the best time to go fishing, but it also depends on the specific situation. Be sure to avoid rainy and windy days. It is best to go fishing on a clear and windless day. The best time to go fishing is the first two hours before the lowest tide. And remember to evacuate the fishing area before the tide comes up!
Going to the beach is a science!
Although Wu Na didn't go fishing much, she had secretly studied it. Meng Xianyu was also a brave person. The two of them walked further and further away, and the place became more and more remote.
Meng Xianyu: "Wuna, look, there's a large reef over there, there should be a lot of good stuff!"
Wu Na: "Wait a minute, I don't think something is right!"
Meng Xianyu: "What's wrong?"
Wu Na: "The colors of those reefs are not right!"
Meng Xianyu: "What's wrong?"
Wu Na: "It's just a little different from what we usually see!"
Meng Xianyu: "Don't scare yourself!"
Wu Na: "Xianyu, let's just pick up some nearby. Let's turn back!"
Meng Xianyu: "But I saw it all! We walked so far, there's nothing to gain if we go back!"
Wu Na: "We can weigh the fish in our two fish baskets now. Let's go see how Ali and the others are doing, and then we'll set off again!"
Meng Xianyu: "But..."
Wu Na: "Xianyu, you don't believe me?"
Meng Xianyu: "No, I just feel unwilling to give up!"
Wu Na: "Xianyu, I can predict danger"
Meng Xianyu: "Forget it, let's go back! Anyway, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it collapses. If it's not enough, there are still you, Aji and the others!"
Wu Na: "Well, thank you for believing me!"
Meng Xianyu: "Actually, if you think about it, we've gained quite a lot. If there were more, we wouldn't be able to carry it! Let's go!"
Wu Na: “Yeah!”
Meng Xianyu and Wu Na turned and left, not noticing the black mist rising from the reef behind them. The black mist was very light and it was difficult to see clearly unless you went over.
Meng Xianyu was not wrong. There were indeed a lot of seafood in that reef, but I was afraid that I would have to pay with my life...
Meng Xianyu accepted her fate. She had come this far and had caught up with the vast army of time travelers. She couldn't just refuse to accept her fate every day! Meng Xianyu might be just an NPC in the game, but she definitely couldn't waste this life that she had picked up for nothing.
Wu Na was one of the few people in the tribe who could foresee danger. Because of this ability, even though she performed well in medicine and poison, she was not despised by the people in the temple. With the protection of the saints and saint ladies, even the elders would look up to her. But it was precisely because these people treated her so specially that many disciples in the temple were very dissatisfied. Because in the temple, Wu Na was indeed not good enough and had an ordinary background. So in the temple, Wu Na didn't have many friends.
When Meng Xianyu and Wu Na came back, they picked up some more seafood.
Liya and Wulan were very lucky and had already collected two portions.
When Wu Na and Meng Xianyu arrived, the three of them were also there, and they were weighing seafood with the elders.
Meng Xianyu: "Hello, two elders! Here we have more! We will weigh all of these together! Thank you!"
Jiayu: “You’re here too!”
Geller: “Not a bad harvest!”
Jiayu: "Not bad indeed! Are you tired? If you are, take a break!"
Meng Xianyu: "Not tiring, it's quite fun!"
Jiayu: "Well, be careful not to get hurt! Wu Na too!"
Wu Na: “Yes!”
Geller: "Give me some more, little girl. We can almost make two of these!"
Meng Xianyu: "Okay, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
Liya: "Don't you see there are still many people queuing behind you? What are they going to do while they're waiting for you? Since they haven't gathered yet, just carry them away first and come back to queue up when enough people have gathered!"
Ulan: "Liya!"
Liya: "I'm right! They were just cutting in line! If everyone cuts in line like this, will it be unfair to the people queuing behind them?"
Villager A: “That’s right!”
Villager B: "Yes! What Leah said makes sense!"
Villager C: "We've all wasted half a day waiting in line! They're so good!"
Villager Ding: "This Liya is really beautiful and kind-hearted. I wonder who is lucky enough to marry her!"
Liya: "Ali! I am right! My Aji is the village chief, I am Aji's daughter, we must abide by the rules! Those outsiders don't understand, how can you be confused?"
A bunch of villagers: "Well said!"
Meng Xianyu: "Alright! Everyone, as the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime! Wu Na and I have absolutely no intention of offending you fellow villagers, nor do we intend to break the rules!"
Villager E: "Just saying I don't know is enough?"
Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na and I are both people who dare to take responsibility for our actions! If we were wrong, we would apologize to everyone first. Wu Na and I will not carry this half basket of seafood anymore, we will share it with everyone! Consider it as an apology to everyone!"
Villager B: "Forget it, this is what you two worked so hard for! Take it!"
A group of villagers were whispering to each other there.
Leah: “No, I don’t agree.”
Wu Na: "Liya, what do you want?"
Liya: "What right does she, a foreigner, have to decide?"
Meng Xianyu: "Liya, then tell me, what do you think we should do?"
Wulan: "You found these, do whatever you want with them! Don't worry about Liya!"
Liya: "Ali! What are you talking about! She has been staying at our house for the past few days, eating and drinking our food, and now she is bullying us and taking away our seafood! What right does she have?"
Meng Xianyu: "I didn't expect you to think this way!"
Leah: “Isn’t it?”
Wulan: "Liya, have you said enough? There are still several elders and two elders here. It's not your turn to act so presumptuous!"
Liya: "Ali, you only know how to criticize me! What else can you do besides criticizing me? I believe that the elders and the elders will definitely handle it fairly. They will definitely not be biased like you!"
Meng Xianyu: "Wu Na, why don't we go! Don't worry about these trivial matters! Go back and rest, I'm tired!"
Wu Na: “Okay!”
Liya: "No, neither of you can leave! Just because you, an outsider, joined us, our family has to prepare one more person this year! Now you two have only enough for one person! No one of you can leave!"
Meng Xianyu: "Is it not okay for me to quit?"
Wu Na: "Liya, you are the one who is embarrassed today!"
Liya: "You are the most shameful person in the family. You don't know anything, but you pretend to be noble! And you, you said you would quit, so what? What right do you have to do that? You want to break the rules here, what are you thinking? "
Meng Xianyu: "Liya, you really act like a shrew!"
Leah: “What did you say?”
Meng Xianyu: "We didn't come here to listen to you say this! Don't waste everyone's time here!"
A group of villagers watching the show nearby finally realized, yes, it's already late, the tide will be high soon! We can't delay any longer! Some villagers reacted early and left long ago! In some families, only one person was left to watch, while the others went to the beach! After Meng Xianyu's reminder, someone immediately came over and pulled Liya aside.
Wulan: "My elders, brothers and sisters, I, Wulan, would like to apologize to you all. Today, I will take charge and distribute all the seafood in this basket to everyone!"
The former village chief, Nie Xing: "Alright! Let's stop this farce! Since Wu Lan said so! Wu Na and that little girl, you two should just divide the seafood in the basket! I'm tired, let me rest for a while, and stop arguing!"
Niexing was already 90 years old, so everyone still listened to what he said. Moreover, every family could get some seafood, so they didn't dare to argue. Meng Xianyu carried the fish basket, and Wu Na distributed it to everyone.
Leah was so angry that she left wiping her tears.
Everything was fine yesterday. Meng Xianyu was confused and too lazy to indulge Liya.
Wu Lan hesitated to speak.
Yixi took Wu Na's hand and then took Meng Xianyu's hand.
Yixi: "Sister Xianyu, Sister Wuna, I found a lot of beautiful shells and gave them to you. Don't be unhappy! Don't be angry with Sister Liya!"
