Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"Oh, there's a big snail!"

Wang Huiping muttered as she reached out towards the snail.

Unexpectedly, the next second, just when she was about to touch the snail, Fu Wan pulled her hand away.

Wang Huiping looked at Fu Wan in confusion.

"Awan, what's wrong?"

Fu Wan pointed at the conch with a serious face.

"Sister-in-law, that snail is poisonous, it's a cone snail!"

"What, cone snails?!"

Wang Huiping quickly withdrew her hand and took two steps back.

The conch that seemed big and fat to her just now instantly turned into an invitation to the underworld.

Oh, she just saw that the snail was big and beautiful, and thought of picking it up to pick out the meat, and giving the shell to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu to play with.

I totally didn't realize it was a cone snail!

Ye Xiaocui and others nearby heard the noise and looked over.

Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui were both shocked when they saw the conch still lying on the reef.

“It’s really a cone snail!”

"Oh, Huiping, you didn't touch the snail, did you? Cone snails are extremely poisonous!"

Wang Huiping was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shook her head quickly.

"No, Awan grabbed me before I could do anything."

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan patted their chests nervously, saying, "Oh, it's a good thing I didn't touch it, otherwise it would have been fatal."

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu came over curiously. Seeing that they were watching intently, Fu Wan took the opportunity to give them some scientific knowledge.

"You must remember what it looks like. This is a cone snail. From now on, stay away from it and don't touch it."

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu nodded, not quite understanding.

The cone snail, also known as the ancient cone snail, has a conical shell that looks a bit like a chicken heart. It is pointed in the front and rounded in the back, with a protruding tip and barbs at the tail.

The surface of this snail does not look simple, with irregular patterns and bright colors of brown, red and white.

The cone snail is a highly poisonous snail. It is a carnivorous animal that usually eats small insects and fish and likes to live under reefs.

Their characteristic is that they use toxins to paralyze their food while hunting.

This snail contains toxins that not only kill its prey but also harm its predators. Its toxins are comparable to snake venom and are complex, containing not only tetrodotoxin and unique cone snail toxins, but also many unknown toxins that have not yet been named.

Therefore, once stung by a cone snail and injected with toxins, the risk ranges from limb loss to death. If you encounter a cone snail with a strong venom gland, the toxins from just one snail can kill dozens of people.

Fu Wan spoke as she searched nearby.

She picked up a half-meter-long branch and reached out to poke the cone snail.

The snail sensed danger and the end of its tail instantly extended, with the barb almost visible to the naked eye.

"Damn, did you see that barb?"

Fu Liang only felt a chill on his back, and goose bumps appeared all over his body instantly.

I dare not imagine that if Fu Wan had not grabbed his wife just now, the barb would be so sharp that even the gloves would not be able to withstand it.

If he gets stung by a cone snail... Oh my god, he'll be left without a wife!

"Awan, thank you so much, our family owes you our lives!"

Fu Liang thanked Fu Wan sincerely, and Wang Huiping quickly echoed him.

She had finally come to her senses. If Fu Wan hadn't just pulled her back, she would have been stung by the cone snail.

"Awan, I don't know how to thank you. If you need me in the future, just ask!"

Fu Wan waved her hand upon hearing this and looked at Wang Huiping who was still in shock.

She comforted him, "It's okay, sister-in-law. Fortunately, we found it in time. Just wear thicker gloves and be careful when you pick up the snails later."

There are not many cone snails on the seashore. They usually like to live on the seabed ten meters deep. This one today was probably brought up by the tide.

Wang Huiping nodded as she listened. The sudden appearance of the cone snails made the people who were originally pulling the snails vigorously become much more cautious.

Fu Liang simply stayed with his wife and picked up seafood with her.

Fu Ming picked up some snails for a while, but felt that it was too slow for one person to turn over stones and pick up snails. After thinking for a while, he called Fu Wan.

"Awan, how about we work together? I'll lift the rocks and you pull them out."

Fu Wan rolled her eyes when she heard that. Turning over stones is so fast, but it can't compare to the speed of pulling snails.

If she encounters a tight screw, she can still spend a long time to unscrew it.

"No, when you lift the rocks, pick up a few snails too."

Fu Ming nodded in agreement. In fact, he was also feeling bored and wanted to have some fun.

As soon as the brother and sister lifted two stones, Fu Wan found the target.

“Sea cucumber!”

A fat sea cucumber about the length of a palm was lying in the mud. Fu Wan hurriedly picked it up. Seeing that the sea cucumber was good, she washed it and threw it into a bucket beside her.

Sea cucumber is a good thing. Not to mention anything else, the pot of spicy snails next to it may not be as valuable as this sea cucumber.

Fu Ming looked at this with great pain. Why didn't he see any sea cucumbers when he lifted the stone just now?

"Hey, I don't believe it!"

Fu Ming gritted his teeth and began to lift the reef frantically.

He didn't see the sea cucumber, but he caught two red flower crabs dating.

Not only that, there were two snails as big as a child's fist on the edge of the reef, which shocked Fu Wan so much that she was stunned.

"My goodness, this snail is too big. Could it be a spirit?"

When Ye Xiaocui heard Fu Wan calling her, she subconsciously looked up and saw the snails Fu Wan had pulled out. She ran forward happily.

"Isn't this snail a fragrant snail? Oh, why is there a fragrant snail here?

Hurry, hurry, put them in the bucket, these two snails probably weigh nearly half a pound each!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Wan handed over the two snails, and at the same time, she did not forget to remind Ye Xiaocui.

"Mom, put these conchs aside so we can eat them ourselves later."

Ye Xiaocui paused after hearing this, "I know! Such big snails must be eaten by ourselves."

The little old lady spoke stubbornly, but in fact she felt a little guilty.

Before Fu Wan said this, she was really planning to go back and take it to Fu San to sell it.

She heard from her husband last night that her daughter and son had bought land in Shanghai and spent a lot of money.

Conch is such an expensive thing, we have to sell it for money.

But she couldn't persuade Fu Wan. As soon as Fu Wan opened her mouth, she gave up the idea.

Never mind, two snails are only two dollars at most. If that doesn't work, she can just pick some more big spicy yellow snails to make up for the money she paid for the snails.

Ye Xiaocui was thinking about it and was about to continue picking the spicy snails, but as she put the snails down and turned around, Fu Wan brought over another handful of snails.

Ye Xiaocui was shocked. She glanced at the stone at Fu Wan's feet and saw that there were several snails!

Fu Ming next to him was also busy picking these snails out of the mud and sand.

"Oh my god, why are there so many snails!"

"Hey, Mom, don't ask, just pick it up!"

Fu Wan threw the snails into the basin, and then hurriedly picked up the snails on the ground.

In fact, when Ye Xiaocui was just stunned, Fu Ming and Fu Wan worked together to lift a huge reef.

When they looked up, the brother and sister were dumbfounded.

There is a snail nest under the reef, and it is full of dense snails at a glance!
