I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Ping, Ping'an Town..."

Yu Xiaochuan was older and recovered in a short while, but six-year-old Yu Xiaoyu was pale and shrank behind his brother in fear.

"Xiaochuan, what's going on?"

Song An Ning was a little puzzled. From what everyone had said just now, she knew that the brother and sister had lost their relatives and depended on each other for survival. Could it be that something happened to their parents in Ping'an Town?

"No, it's okay, Sister Aning. The sun is very strong. Let's go quickly."

He lowered his head, and the expression on his face was unreadable. He didn't want to talk, so Song An Ning didn't ask any more questions.

After a brief silence, Yu Xiaochuan began to explain to her the locations of various stores in the town as if nothing had happened, and even explained the store's customer flow, reviews, and features clearly.

"I just heard that you haven't been in town for too long. How did you know all this?"

From Xiaochuan's explanation, Song Anning discovered that this kid knew a lot about the town. He knew the locations of everything from small stalls to markets, from high-end restaurants to wealthy families.

"When I first became a guide, I knew nothing. Xiaoyu and I were penniless and lived by begging.

I got to know quite a few of the shops while begging. The rest I learned from little beggars and other guides.”

Whenever a group of people gathered together to brag and chat, Yu Xiaochuan would pull his sister to sit not far away, listen quietly, and then carefully write down the useful information.

“It’s a thoughtful one.”

Song An Ning nodded, and felt a little more favorable towards the Xiaochuan siblings. They walked two blocks forward before reaching the inn.

The waiter showed them around and found that it was just as he said, quiet and elegant.

The room is located on the third floor of the inn. When you open the window, you can see the sea outside the city. The prices in Linhai Town are much higher than those in Ping'an Town. It is rare to be able to stay in such an inn for only 200 wen.

"Sister Aning, you should get some rest first. Xiaoyu and I will be waiting outside the inn. If you want to go out, come find me. If you want to buy anything, we can also help you buy it."

The brother and sister stood at the door and didn't come in. After they finished talking, they wanted to go downstairs and wait, but were stopped by Song An Ning.

"Xiaochuan, bring your sister in. I asked the waiter to make some food. You two can eat with me."

Hearing her say this, Yu Xiaochuan quickly waved his hands. The food in the inn was very expensive, and a bowl of noodles cost more than ten cents. He thought Sister Aning was a good person and couldn't let her spend money.

"Okay, come in quickly. I want to go for a walk on the beach this afternoon. I also want to know more about Linhai Town. Please tell me more."

Yu Xiaochuan then agreed, brought his sister in, and sat on the stool politely.

"Sister Aning, today is the 24th, perfect for an afternoon of fishing..."

When talking about the sea, the brother and sister's eyes sparkled, as if that was their home.

Through their explanation, Song An Ning learned that this sea has two high tides on the first and fifteenth day of every month, two high tides and two low tides in twelve hours a day, with the tides being high and the low tides being deep.

In winter, the tides are high during the day and low at night. The tides from the first to the fifth day of the lunar month are higher than those from the fifteenth to the twentieth day, making it suitable for daytime fishing.

In summer it is completely the opposite, while in spring and autumn it changes slowly. She was confused when she heard about the calculation of the time for going to the beach.

This is my first time coming into contact with these things, and my brain seems to be a little overwhelmed.

"Master, after listening to this, do you feel like you need to grow a brain?

Hahaha, no need to bother, Xiangxiang has a weather forecast that has already marked the tide times for the next half month, as well as the best time to go to the beach."

Xiangxiang's words made Song Anning come alive instantly. Since arriving in Linhai Town, the weather forecast has added a lot of things according to the geographical location.

Having a system is convenient, but you still have to remember what Yu Xiaochuan said. Tongzi is a good thing, but you can't just rely on Tongzi with an empty head.

While they were talking, the shopkeeper brought three bowls of seafood noodles, a steamed sea fish, and a plate of fried oysters.

Finally, a large bowl of clam soup was served.

The sea was unpolluted in this era, the prawns in the seafood noodles were plump, tender and juicy, and the clam soup was irresistibly delicious.

At first, the brother and sister were embarrassed to sit down and eat together, so Song An Ning pulled them to the table. They were both very hungry, so after saying thank you, they buried their heads and ate their food in big mouthfuls.

After a short rest after dinner, the three of them left the inn.

At the market, we bought a sand shovel, a small wooden bucket, and a bamboo tube of fresh water. Led by Yu Xiaochuan, we headed towards the beach outside the city.

The waves gently hit the shore, making a crisp sound, and the sea breeze blows gently, feeling very comfortable on the body.

There were quite a few people on the beach going to the beach to catch seafood. When they saw Song Anning and the others, they looked at them unfriendly.

Yu Xiaochuan explained in a low voice: "Sister Aning, I'm afraid we need to go further. I know a few places with fewer people and more fish. This is the territory of the fishing village. When outsiders come to catch fish, it's like they're robbing them of their money."

Song An Ning expressed his understanding of this and agreed to his proposal. He originally wanted to find a place with few people to conveniently set up the teleportation array.

After walking along the coastline for a long time, the fishing village we had just visited was left far behind, so we finally stopped.

"Sister Aning, this place is great. There are oysters on the reefs, and there are also a lot of seafood in the sand."

Thinking of how they grew up by the sea, and the longing that could not be concealed on their faces when she mentioned going to the beach, she invited them to go beach hunting together.

Unexpectedly, the brother and sister both shook their heads, their expressions becoming unhappy. Yu Xiaochuan glanced at the sun and said to Song Anning:

"Sister Aning, I'll take Xiaoyu back first. Have fun here. I'll come pick you up when the sun sets."

After saying that, he fled away from here.

"..."

"Weird..."

Song Anning shook her head. Everyone has their own secrets, so she should focus her attention on the beach.

"My dear Xiang, it's been several days since I last went up the mountain. Aren't you excited to see this sea?"

"Hahaha, of course, I can unlock a lot of species again.

Also, live fish will fetch a higher price, go for it, Master!"

"Open the map and let's get started."

There is a reef in front, which is densely packed with oysters. Judging from the marks on them, the big ones should have been picked out. Looking around, the largest one is not even as big as Song Anning's palm.

"Ding, we've detected wild oysters. Also known as: raw oysters, sea oysters. They feed on microscopic algae and organic debris in the ocean. The meat is delicious, and both the meat and shells can be used as medicine. One pound, fifty cents."

"You collect the shells too?"

"Yes, I will, but Xiangxiang suggests you buy a shovel from the mall and just shovel it all off."

After drinking a can of functional drink, Song Anning was full of energy. She pried off large pieces of oysters, and with a few shovels, the wooden barrel was full.

"Ding, seven pounds of oysters were collected, and three hundred and fifty coins were credited to my account."

The sun was scorching at the beach, and soon Song Anning began to sweat. She bent over, feeling the scorching sun. When she was working hard, she heard a lot of whispering in her ears.
