After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

"You should also chase away any small fish that inexplicably try to steal your food."

Under the sky, the ancients saw that the damselfish always looked angry with its lips pursed. With just a flick of its tail, it would dart out and drive away the small fish that had invaded its territory.

"It hates uninvited guests to the extreme; it will even drive away fish that are just passing by."

A ray with large wings was passing by when it was chased away by a damselfish that was staring intently at it. Only after it had chased away all the fish did it slow down its swimming.

Farmers who cultivate the land feel a sense of familiarity with this small fish.

Niu Ba and Chen Shiwu, who had argued last time, eventually had a race. Chen Shiwu won and took more water in the first year. Next year, it will be Niu Ba's turn.

They come in turns every year, and the village elders have witnessed it all.

Although they still have sour looks when they meet now, it's much better than before when they would argue and fight every time they met. At least they can still greet each other.

“This damselfish is a good fish!” Niu Ba said.

Chen Shiwu, who was leisurely heading home after dark, happened to pass by and overheard Niu Ba saying this. He couldn't help but chime in, "That's quite true, it's a good fish."

Niu Ba didn't argue, he just kept muttering to himself as he looked at the sky, following the light on the sky as he slowly made his way home.

With the canopy installed, the light from it always illuminates the way forward, so many farmers work a little more, knowing that a little light will help them get home.

In the past, we would have to turn back as soon as the sun went down, because it would be too dark to see the road and we wouldn't be able to get back.

"But what gives damselfish the biggest headache is sea urchins. These guys not only love to steal vegetables, but they eat a lot. Other small fish and shrimp might steal a few leaves, but sea urchins have no sense of decency. They like to start eating from the rootstock, and they like to go in groups. You chase one group away, and another one comes."

Against the sky, you could see those dark, spiky balls, clustered together in the seaweed, while the damselfish, with their mouths pursed, looked angry as they picked up sea urchins and tossed them out one by one.

[Spicy!]

[Stealing vegetables is great, I love it too!]

[Things that live with sea urchins, but don't raise them!]

[I've actually started worrying about a sea urchin on Douyin.]

"This is so annoying!"

Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di, also shook his head, recalling his father telling them that when he was farming, wild boars and birds would come and steal his grain.

My father and his family hate those pigs the most; they're incredibly strong and they just root around everywhere.

Now it seems these sea urchins and wild boars are quite similar!

["To prevent these sea urchins from returning, the damselfish moved them all to another damselfish's vegetable patch."]

Zhu Di: “…”

Zhu Di, who had just sympathized with the sea bream and wanted to stand on their side to condemn the sea urchins, realized that he had been blinded by greed.

Hongwu period

Zhu Yuanzhang himself choked on his saliva, coughing for a long time, laughing and coughing at the same time, "These damselfish are really wicked."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also wicked in the past; he once led his friends to kill a landlord's ox.

How could Empress Ma not know?

Liu Bang shook his head slightly, "What the sky said about sacrificing a fellow Daoist rather than this poor Daoist is just right now, haha. These fish are quite clever, I just wonder what they taste like!"

Fan Kuai was already staring at the damselfish in the sky, his eyes filled with longing. At first, he was glad to have some dried meat to eat, but now he was just glad to have anything to eat at all. His mouth tasted bland, and he wished he had a dog right now.

"After doing all this, the damselfish returned to their little nests to hide. The ocean is dangerous at night; large fish come here to hunt."

The camera lens on the sky went completely dark. The dim perspective always makes people feel a little uneasy, especially in this mysterious sea where fish are swimming back and forth.

It's like being in a dark forest; you never know what might be lurking in the shadows.

Wolf? Tiger?

A huge fish passed by, and the sea urchins below immediately swam back.

"Meanwhile, the sea urchins returned, and the damselfish in their little nest could do nothing but worry helplessly."

The ancient people under the sky were also worried about this damselfish. After finally cleaning it up, those dark, murky things came back.

"Finally, dawn broke, and the damselfish in its little nest went out, only to find sea urchins again. It was absolutely horrified!"

Those fish eyes are clearly the same, but the way they appear on camera makes them look strangely blank, and even a little shocking.

Then the camera zooms out, revealing that the once-clean vegetable garden is now teeming with sea urchins. The fish's eyes are even more vacant, conveying a sense of 'collapse' and 'disbelief'.

[Oh my god!]

The sky has fallen!

[The vegetable garden I finally managed to clean has been sprouted with so much ugly stuff again!]

"Hahaha." Tang Yin, who was originally feeling lonely and dejected, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the fish's dazed expression.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly laid out paper and ground ink, wanting to draw the scene in the sea.

Although people felt sorry for the fish, its blank expression was so funny that everyone under the sky laughed until their stomachs hurt.

Later generations were indeed narrow-minded; they learned a new adjective—"malicious."

They even took away the bamboo shoots from the mountain.

Just when the damselfish were in despair, a turning point appeared: they discovered a type of two-legged creature that liked to use nets to catch sea urchins.

A human in a black diving suit used a hook to swiftly pull the sea urchin into a net, and a damselfish immediately swam over.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Damselfish guides humans to catch sea urchins. With the damselfish as their guide, divers always have a bountiful harvest, and they also open a few sea urchins for these guide fish to enjoy each time."

The divers opened the sea urchin, and the damselfish came one after another to snatch it.

The video ended there, but many people are curious as to why later generations would catch these sea urchins. Was it for medicinal purposes? To eat? As dye? Or what else could it be used for?

People from ancient times, whose timelines go too far back, are only curious.

Later, during the Song and Ming dynasties, people began to eat sea urchins.

According to the Guangdong New Language, sea urchin meat is yellow and fresh, and is excellent for making sauce.

During the Jiaqing era, there was a county gazetteer called "Xin'an County Gazetteer," which detailed the shape of sea urchins, as well as their consumption methods and various cooking techniques.

People living by the sea know that a business opportunity has arrived. Perhaps some gentlemen would like to try these spiky creatures and taste their freshness.

Even getting these things isn't easy. Things are valued for their rarity, and the gentlemen should be willing to spend a lot of money to try the delicacies from the sky.
