The weather was clear, the sun was shining, and the sea was receding.
As soon as the beach on the edge was exposed, Wen Xian couldn't help but roll up her trouser legs and sleeves and rush to the beach.
If Wen Xian hadn't been reluctant to destroy the only undershirt and underpants, she would have dismantled the clothes and made them into suspenders and shorts.
With the experience of the previous two days, the others also followed her example, wearing only undershirts and trousers, and rolling up their trouser legs and sleeves.
Wen Xian was very pleased with this.
She carried the straw basket and stepped on the shallows with bare feet. She looked around and saw nothing happened before turning around and calling the others.
"Come down, follow me closely today. Use me as the boundary, and don't go further beyond me. It's best to stay on the beach without going into the water. Wait until the water recedes completely before taking action on your own."
The gifts of the sea are many, even if only a five-meter-wide beach is exposed. The seafood on top is enough for several people to pick up for a while.
While the others nodded in agreement and started picking up shells and conches, Wen Xian walked a short distance into the sea alone.
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the island in the distance where she saw the smoke yesterday, but she didn't expect that the island was now completely white and she couldn't see anything.
It seemed as if the scene she saw yesterday was just a mirage, and the real island did not exist here.
It wasn't that she was guessing, but she didn't see any smoke yesterday afternoon or today, so she had to suspect that it might be a mirage.
Before she could think about it again, she felt a slight itching on her legs. She came back to her senses and shook her head, throwing these thoughts away.
No matter what he was, he wouldn't be able to get through it for a while, so she had better take care of the present moment.
Wen Xian looked down at the itchy spot and felt instantly happy. It turned out to be a timid little pufferfish. I don’t know where it got the courage to get close to her.
Wen Xian bent down and quickly grabbed the little puffer fish by her legs. He squeezed its bulging body, then grabbed it mercilessly and brushed it gently on his legs.
Pufferfish is a warm-water marine bottom-dwelling fish of the family Pufferidae.
Its whole body is covered with burrs, its upper and lower jaw teeth are connected together, its skin is tough and thick, and its mouth is small and its head is round.
Its back is dark brown and its belly is white. The eyes are usually blue-green, but they change color as the light changes.
When a pufferfish feels threatened, it will swallow water or air to expand its body into a spiny ball, making it difficult for predators to eat.
It is precisely because of this that it adds a lot of bad taste to those who are chasing the sea.
For example, they would use angry pufferfish to brush their shoes, rub their legs, etc.
The puffer fish has plump and delicious skin with spines that melts in your mouth and is extremely delicious.
Not only that, it can nourish the liver and kidneys, remove dampness and relieve pain, and can also treat itchy skin and scabies.
However, most people would not easily choose to eat it. After all, its liver, roe, blood, etc. are highly toxic and can easily lead to death if eaten accidentally.
Therefore, Wen Xian was just playing for fun. After having enough fun, he threw it into the sea and watched it slowly escape like a small whirlwind.
Pufferfish feed on clams, oysters, sea urchins, etc. Wen Xian actually picked up a few sea urchins under the rocks at her feet.
Thinking of steamed sea urchin eggs, Wen Xian salivated a lot.
Putting the sea urchin into a basket lined with grass leaves, Wen Xian continued to look around, looking for something that met her needs.
Although she was standing on the shallow beach, the water only reached her belly. But who knows if the next wave will sweep her away.
While taking risks to catch the sea, she had to pay attention to the waves at all times. When the waves came, she had to get ashore quickly.
Therefore, her attention now is on the sea goods that are easily swept back into the sea.
As for the shells and conches buried in the sand, it’s not too late to pick them up after the tide has completely gone out.
After a blink of an eye, she really discovered a good product, a half-dead jellyfish.
Jellyfish is a type of jellyfish, a large warm-water jellyfish.
The surface of the entire jellyfish outer umbrella is smooth, and the gelatin layer on it is thick.
Inside the inner umbrella, the concentric rings surrounding the stomach cavity are called circular muscles, and the kidney-shaped depression is the subgenital point. The inside of the hole is separated by a membrane and is not connected to the outside world.
Its larger wing is called the main wing, and the smaller outer wing is called the aileron.
There are many appendages growing on the folds of each wing, with many small sucking mouths and tentacles on them.
Jellyfish are classified according to their edible parts and can be divided into two types: jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins.
Jellyfish head refers to the tentacle part of the jellyfish. This part of the meat is thicker and tastes crisper.
Jellyfish skin refers to the umbrella part of jellyfish, which is shaped like jelly and has a crispy texture with a bit of toughness.
Wen Xian's favorite food is actually jelly-like jellyfish skin. Eat it cold and it's very satisfying.
Jellyfish not only satisfies appetite, but can also be used as medicine.
Wen Xian skillfully extracted the efficacy of jellyfish from her own memory.
Jellyfish is sweet, salty and flat in nature and taste. It has the functions of clearing away heat and nourishing yin, softening hardness and eliminating phlegm, eliminating accumulation and breaking stagnation, dispelling wind and relieving pain, detoxifying and dispersing stagnation, treating collapse and vaginal discharge, tonifying and strengthening, moisturizing the intestines and relieving miscarriage.
It also contains substances similar to acetylcholine, which can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It is also very suitable for patients with high blood pressure.
However, the nematocysts of fresh jellyfish contain venom. People who come into contact with the tentacles of jellyfish will be injured. In severe cases, symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shock, etc. may even be life-threatening.
Therefore, Wen Xian decisively picked out the jellyfish skin alone and let the others go for the time being. When you have enough time and tools later, you can do other things.
The jellyfish skin is so large that it takes up half of the space once placed in the straw basket.
However, Wen Xian did not go back to put things away first. And take advantage of this moment to continue picking up seafood.
She picked up a few more sea urchins and two sea eggplants.
Just as he was about to turn around and send back the contents of the basket, his sharp eyes spotted a big blue crab.
Blue crab, scientific name is Blue Crab. Its outstanding characteristics are its fierce personality and large and powerful pincers.
Looking at this big blue crab that weighed at least three kilograms, Wen Xian's eyes turned green. Unfortunately, a small wave came over and swept the blue crabs directly back into the deep sea.
She didn't dare to run after the waves, so she could only stand where she was, looking at the direction the blue crab was leaving with her face filled with pain.
Xu felt guilty that this wave actually brought her a bunch of asparagus and a piece of sea.
She took a deep breath, fished the asparagus into the straw basket, and then dragged the kelp to the shore.
In front of nature, human beings appear extremely small. Seeing that the next wave was about to hit her, she didn't dare to delay, so she had to go ashore first.
As for the plump blue crab that lingered in her mind, she vowed to catch it next time.
Before they even set foot on the shore, Jiang Lingling and Fang Jiaren quickly took the things in her hands, each of them supported her and walked cautiously to the shore.
Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly and she said, "What's wrong with you?"
