Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Because it was just a test, Xu Yiyi didn't dare to make too much, worried that he wouldn't be able to sell them all.

The sea water was warm in the afternoon. Xu Yiyi asked Er'er to stay at home and watch Sihai and Wuyuan sleep, while she rowed the boat out to sea again.

Li Xiuying suddenly ran to the river and shouted sorry to her.

He left without waiting for her to react.

Look at her like that, she must have been criticized.

Because he was curious about the two people last night, Xu Yiyi rowed the boat to the other side of the island, stopped the boat near the island, jumped into the water and swam back.

There are few people here, only eleven households. The family that made a deal with Zhan Jilan to buy his house also lives here.

Most of them came here to escape disaster.

Looking around, there are basically no people to be seen.

And at this point, they were probably all out to sea. When Xu Yiyi thought there was nothing to gain, he saw a woman leading two men out.

From a distance, one could tell that the woman was extremely respectful to them.

The two men were short in stature, but their temperament made them look like they were not ordinary people.

Xu Yiyi watched them leave on the boat and immediately rowed the boat to follow them.

Unfortunately, the ship was huge, and she couldn't catch up even if she waved her hands until flowers bloomed.

There was no choice but to go somewhere else.

There are several other islands near the island where they live.

But my great uncle said that those islands were all deserted islands.

It is not suitable for human habitation, so they will not pay attention to it.

Xu Yiyi looked at the direction the two men were heading and estimated that their destination was among those deserted islands.

But she was a weak woman, and if she just followed blindly, she would probably not be able to escape if she encountered pirates.

So I decided to go back and tell my uncle, and we can all think of a solution together.

Xu Yiyi took the fish basket and clamps from the boat, took all the tools, and went to the bottom of the sea again.

Her purpose this time was to eat lobsters and have a lobster feast tonight.

Let’s celebrate before setting up the stall tomorrow.

As the depth increases, the light gradually dims and the underwater world becomes quieter and deeper.

The underwater world is a colorful wonderland, and the coral reefs are like tropical rainforests on the seabed, with colorful colors and various shapes.

When Xu Yiyi arrived here, she was surrounded by colorful tropical fish.

A sea turtle was lying lazily on the reef. Usually there are sea snakes on coral reefs, so Xu Yiyi did not dare to let his guard down.

Carefully observing the area under the reef where a nest of lobsters lay, Xu Yiyi spread out the fishing net.

The lobster was thus taken into her pocket.

Xu picked and chose one by one, only taking the big ones and releasing all the small ones.

Several groupers were hiding under the black reefs, and Xu Yiyi was sharp-eyed.

I could tell the clue at a glance.

Covered with a fishing scoop, three groupers were trapped inside and struggled to get rid of the surrounding mud and sand.

It only took a short while to catch a lot of good stuff.

Xu Yiyi had something to say to her great uncle, so she didn't stay long.

On the way back, I picked up a few starfish. Regardless of whether they taste good or not, they are definitely beautiful.

Er'er has reached the age where she loves beauty. Every day when she goes out, she picks a small bunch of wild flowers and puts one bunch in her room and another bunch in her own room.

Whenever I go to the beach to look for beautiful conch shells, I always bring them back and use them to decorate my room beautifully.

Er'er will definitely be happy if I take this starfish back and give it to her.

Xu Yiyi popped out from inside, startling the people nearby.

Her hair was all messy and stuck to her face as soon as she left the water, making her look like a female ghost.

"Yi Yi! You went into the sea again? Didn't your uncle forbid you to go down?"

Ada went out to sea as usual, and this was exactly the time for them to return.

We fished in a certain area of ​​the sea in the morning, and when the wind and waves grew stronger in the afternoon, we began to change direction, casting our nets all the way until we returned to the village after sunset.

"Grandpa didn't say that! He just told me not to go out in the morning or at night!"

Xu Yiyi muttered softly. She didn't pay attention before she went into the water, and the boat floated here in just a short while.

Looking at the big basket of lobsters and the grouper weighing seven or eight kilograms that Xu Yiyi pulled out of the water.

There were five or six starfish on the fish basket. The eyes of the people around were red, but they still felt like children when they saw the starfish.

The little girls in the village like to pick these things up and take them home.

"Yiyi, your breath-holding skills are truly amazing! If I were like you, I wouldn't have to go out to sea like this every day."

The person who spoke had a bitter look on his face. He had worked hard all day and caught a lot of sea fish, but he was not sure whether he could sell them for a tael of silver.

"That's talent. Think about that kid Yinli. He's amazing at swimming. When he was young, he couldn't beat anyone in competition. I think Yiyi takes after her father."

Ah Da spoke up to change the subject, and the others followed suit.

After all, Xu Yinli is really good at swimming. If he hadn't gone to the capital, he would probably be able to buy a big ship by now.

The group rowed the boat back.

Xu Yiyi was carrying a fish basket and when she passed by her great-uncle's house, she ran in and told him about the incident.

"Do you really look like a pirate?"

Xu nodded.

"That pirate's temperament is different from that of ordinary people. He is fierce and ferocious, and looks like he has seen blood."

Even if he's not a pirate, he doesn't look like a good person.

Uncle Great Grandpa's face darkened. Six years ago, the village was attacked by pirates, and those people burned, killed and looted on the island.

Not only did they kill people, but they also stole all their money.

Otherwise, the village would not be as poor as it is now.

The villages on the three surrounding islands also suffered the same experience.

Since then, the government has stepped up patrols at sea.

I've been hearing news about pirates in recent years. They suddenly appeared and were involved with the people on the island.

The uncle felt that this was not a good omen.

"Don't worry about this matter. Pirates are fierce and you will be in danger if you encounter them. I will report it to the authorities. We are just ordinary fishermen. We can go out to sea to fish, but we are powerless to fight pirates."

Xu Yiyi nodded obediently, put down a grouper and left.

"Going to sea again! I tell you, you can't wander around the village with so many goodies in the future. You have to learn how to make a fortune quietly."

Xu Yiyi was helpless. Of course she knew she had to avoid it, but the boat was floating in front of people and she couldn't do anything.

But after what happened this time, I will definitely be more careful in the future.

The villagers are as kind as ever now, but there is no guarantee that someone will have different intentions in the future.

When I got home, the two children had just woken up.

Er'er was still fiddling with the shells he had picked up from the beach and placing them neatly on the windowsill, which did not look very beautiful.

Xu Yiyi handed the starfish to Er'er, and the little girl couldn't stop smiling.

She really likes it.

"Did you bring me a gift, sis?"

Sihai was a little drowsy, and his speech was a little sticky, as if he was acting coquettishly, having just woken up.

Xu Yiyi picked and chose and brought the largest lobster to Sihai.

"How about you treat me to lobster tonight as a reward?"

The lobster weighed nearly eight pounds and was longer than Sihai's face. The child touched the lobster's antennae and quickly retracted his hand.

"Thank you, sis."

Wu Yuan in the cradle heard his brothers and sisters laughing and talking without paying any attention to him, and immediately started whining again.

"Er Er, let me teach you how to make a wind chime!"

Hanging above the window, it makes a clear and pleasant sound when blown by the wind.

Er'er was a little puzzled. Xu Yiyi made a small ring-shaped stand with wood, drilled holes in the selected shells with a dagger, and took out thin fishing lines.

Fix the larger shell on the bracket, then arrange the other shells in order according to color, size and shape, and string them together with fishing line.

Each shell must maintain the proper shape to ensure the lightness of the wind chime.

Finally, I hung a small ring on the top of the wind chime and hung it on Er'er's window.

Xu Yiyi gently shook the wind chime, and suddenly, a clear and pleasant sound echoed in the yard.

Er'er was a little surprised. She reached out and touched it, and found that Wu Yuan's little hands and feet were dancing, as if he liked the sound very much.

"Sister, I want to make a long one that can be hung on the door, from beginning to end, and can cover part of the room."

I immediately thought that this would look great hanging on the door.

Seeing Er'er so excited, Xu Yiyi did not intervene and let Er'er do it himself.

She thought of something else, so she took Sihai to kill a dozen sea fish and get their bladders. Then she steamed, boiled, mashed and filtered them to make a bowl of fish bladder glue.

He took Sihai to pick up several stones that were smoothed by the waves, chose a relatively flat one as the bottom, and glued a round shell with a bright color on it to hold the lamp oil.

Then match the shells and stick them around the base one by one with fish bladder glue.

These shells are arranged in an orderly manner, which is both stable and beautiful.

Then pour a little whale oil on it and light the wick.

The shell lamp emits a soft and gentle light.

The light shines through the gaps and textures of the shells, creating a mottled light and shadow effect.

It is not noticeable during the day, but at night it adds a bit of mystery and romance to the surrounding environment.

I loved it the moment I saw it.

Xu Yiyi placed the shell oil lamp in the little girl's room and helped her hang up the door curtain made of shells.

It became different in an instant.
