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

In the water, Xu Yiyi was not as agile as these creatures. It was like a grouper weighing more than one kilogram swimming past her, even though she was fast.

It still can't hide faster than the fish.

Xu Yiyi was floating about ten feet away from the sandy seabed with a small hook in his hand.

Carefully observe every movement on the sand.

Seeing something was wrong, she immediately stretched out her little hook.

An orchid crab was sleeping soundly in its shell.

Not far away, the jellyfish's umbrella-shaped bodies opened and closed, propelling them forward in the water.

After a while, he arrived in front of Xu Yiyi.

There seem to be a lot of jellyfish in this area.

She had just entered the water and had already encountered this several times.

Don’t be fooled by the transparent bodies of these jellyfish, which are as soft as gauze. Under the water, they look like dancing elves and are incredibly beautiful.

But Xu Yiyi didn't dare to get close. Many types of jellyfish are highly toxic. Just touching them could quickly cause poisoning symptoms, and in severe cases, it could even be life-threatening.

After avoiding the jellyfish, we encountered a manta ray buried in the sand, also known as a devil fish.

It was a small one, not much bigger than Xu Yiyi’s face.

She teased it out of curiosity, and the little manta ray was startled and kicked up the mud and sand around it.

The flat body floats in the water like a small kite.

The two fins fluttered gently, as if it was unaware of Xu Yiyi's malicious intentions.

He turned slightly to the side, and his big eyes seemed to be looking at her curiously.

It was not afraid. Instead, it seemed to be playing with Xu Yiyi, sometimes approaching and sometimes lightly moving away, with the innocence of a child.

I heard that the meat of manta rays is very tender. If the one he encountered wasn’t too small, Xu Yiyi would have wanted to try it.

This side is all deep sea, the water is dark blue, and there is no light at this time. Xu Yiyi played with the little manta ray for a while, and then it disappeared.

When I was about to return to the reef forest from the sand, I saw a large cuttlefish covered with sand and many shells around it.

As soon as Xu Yiyi poked the hook, the big cuttlefish began to spit out ink continuously.

The visibility of the sea water soon disappeared, and she hooked the big cuttlefish and began to swim forward, quickly leaving the place.

There is an area in the reef forest where seaweed grows densely, covered with hundreds of sea urchins. Xu Yiyi took a look as he passed by.

I only loaded two baskets when I was ready to go back.

She skillfully pried open a conch to attract the fish, and the fishing net was opened as the fish scrambled for food.

Seven or eight blue-line peeling fish were trapped in the fishing net.

At night, the sea fish are not very active, as if they are asleep, staying quietly in the reef forest.

At this time, it won't run away if you catch it with your bare hands, and you can always catch a lot of good things.

Even though the weather is getting hot now.

But at night the sea water is freezing cold, and for the sake of her health, Xu Yiyi rarely goes into the sea at this time.

So I can only come down in the afternoon, covered with all kinds of tools like I am now.

As soon as the fishing net was pulled in, the small hook came out again.

He went straight into the reef nest and hooked a mantis shrimp out. It was a very beautiful shrimp with a hard and colorful shell, which was either green or brown in color, with some seemingly random patterns.

The shape is very unique, just like an ancient pipa, like a work of art carefully painted by nature.

In stark contrast to the slipper shrimp is the stonefish above it.

Its entire body blends in with the environment of the coral forest. It is not very attractive in appearance and can be called the "clown" in the ocean.

The fish's body is mottled and rough, like an inconspicuous reef on the seabed.

The shape is not even better than that of a mantis shrimp. It looks weird and bloated, without smooth lines, just like when the goddess Nuwa was making dolls, she didn't have much clay left, so she just used some clay dots to make some people that didn't look so good.

This stonefish also looked like a ball that had been randomly pinched together. Its eyes were small and lifeless, deeply sunken into its bumpy skin.

When Xu Yiyi caught it, he could still feel the thick, short, and long spines on the stonefish's body.

Seeing that today's catch was good, Xu Yiyi put away the fishing net.

He took a detour to the place where the sea urchins grew, untied the net bag, and put most of the sea urchins into his bag.

I also took some beautiful shells with me, which you won’t see on the beach when you go to the beach on weekdays.

Er'er and Ayue both like it.

When I returned to the surface of the sea, the scorching sun had disappeared, dark clouds had gathered together, and the surroundings were dim. No wonder I couldn't see clearly at the bottom of the sea.

Her boat was blown against the rocks repeatedly, and Xu Yiyi checked her boat with great concern.

Fortunately, the impact was small and nothing was damaged.

Coming out of the water, the sea breeze blew slightly and it became chilly, as if it was going to rain.

Xu Yiyi quickly changed her wet clothes and wiped her hair with cotton cloth. When it was no longer dripping, she casually let it fall behind her.

After processing today's catch, the white-skinned fish should have its poisonous spines removed, making it a rare delicacy.

If you pierce the swim bladder of the fish caught in the net with an embroidery needle, the fish will live longer.

It is still fresh when it is sold at the dock.

While she was busy, she met refugees from Guling Village who were returning from fishing.

With just a quick glance, he saw their catch.

There are not many, and they are all common sea fish, not worth much.

While Xu Yiyi was looking at them, they were also looking at Xu Yiyi.

To be more precise, they were looking at the catch on her boat. They didn't know much about the fish, and there were few people selling these things at the dock.

The boat was full of fish, but I only recognized the big cuttlefish that could spit ink.

"It seems to be the great-granddaughter of Patriarch Xu. It seems the harvest is good."

The people from Guling Village were divided into three small boats, not too far away but not too close to Xu Yiyi.

The whispered words drifted into Xu Yiyi's ears on the wind.

Hearing the envy in their tone, the people on the first two boats left without stopping, but the people on the boat behind had something wrong in their eyes.

Without waiting for Xu Yiyi to take a closer look, he left.

After the fish were collected, the fog slowly rose.

The air was thick with moisture and had a salty and damp smell.

Xu Yiyi climbed up the reef and pulled back the rope that tied the boat. The sea breeze made her hair dance wildly.

It seemed like a big ship was coming from behind. She turned slightly to look over, revealing her delicate profile.

There seemed to be flags flying on the ship, but unfortunately the fog was too thick to see clearly.

The next moment, he put away his curiosity, jumped onto the small boat along the reef, and disappeared in front of the big ship.

"My dear...it seems like there really are mermaids..."

Manager Jia swallowed, shocked by what he just saw.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, who was also unable to recover from his shock.

It took a while before he spoke.

"I actually encountered the mermaid mentioned in the book... Manager Jia ordered someone to find the mermaid for me."
