I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 218 Liu Yunyi didn’t get enough

Just as Zhu Yun finished catching two octopuses and was about to check to see if there were any more that slipped through the net, Liu Xiaoxiao beside her exclaimed again, "Wow! Look, Mom! That's a really big abalone!"

Although Zhu Yun didn't know what abalone looked like, it had the word "fish" in its name! It wasn't easy to find a fish.

So after hearing her daughter's call, she immediately began looking for fish in the puddle near the reef.

Of course, the result was a failure. But fortunately, before she could ask her daughter where the fish was, Liu Xiaoxiao had already started her action.

She walked to the reef where Zhu Yun was in just a few steps and reached out to grab the reef.

Zhu Yun was puzzled. "Didn't you say there were fish? If you don't catch fish, why are you moving stones? It would be a shame if the fish escaped."

Liu Xiaoxiao grabbed the abalone's shell with both hands and pulled it back with all her might, muttering, "Why is it so tight?"

Although Liu Yunyi didn't understand his daughter's sudden desire to break the stone, he couldn't just stand there and do nothing when he saw how hard she was trying. So he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me do it!"

Liu Xiaoxiao also wanted her father to come, but she was afraid that if she let go, the abalone would run away. What would she do then?

She had encountered this before when touching a screw: as long as she didn't hold it tightly but just touched it, the screw would immediately release the suction cup and let herself sink into deep water.

"No, I finally saw such a big abalone, I can't let it get away."

But it was a bit difficult for her to break it by herself. Just when she didn't know what to do, suddenly, she saw the bamboo clips in her father's bucket, and the solution came to her.

"Dad, bring us our bamboo clips."

Liu Yunyi did as he was told, "And then?"

Liu Xiaoxiao ordered: "Use it to poke the stone under my hand."

Liu Yunyi certainly had no objection to this, but before he made his move, he still said, "Be careful with your hands! I'm poking you."

Liu Xiaoxiao replied: "Come on!"

So Liu Yunyi started his inexplicable behavior of poking stones.

After only two or three prods, Liu Xiaoxiao felt the abalone's suction cup loosen. Taking advantage of this, she exerted her strength and finally broke the abalone off.

Zhu Yun and Liu Yunyi looked at what she was holding and said, "This doesn't look like a stone! It looks more like the big snail that you picked up before."

Liu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "This isn't some giant snail. It's called abalone. I've seen an introduction to it in travelogues before."

"It is said that it likes to cling to large rocks to camouflage itself.

Another species that likes to cling to rocks is the oyster.

Speaking of oysters, Liu Xiaoxiao thought of them as a good thing for beautifying and nourishing the skin. Since she was here today, she had to get some to take back!

Then she added: "And their meat is very delicious!"

Zhu Yun's eyes lit up and she said, "Is it really delicious? Are there any more around here? Let's look for them quickly. If there are any, we'll break them all back."

Liu Xiaoxiao then remembered that abalones gather in groups. Although this wasn't deep sea, there might not be that many, but since such a large one would appear here with the tide, there might be other small abalone nearby!

So she put down the abalone in her hand, which was as big as an adult man's palm, and began to tell her parents about the habits of abalone.

Afterwards, they actually found quite a few on the nearby reefs.

But just as they were searching hard, the uncle's voice came over.

"Third brother, come back quickly. We need to go back. The water is starting to rise here."

After Liu Xiaoxiao heard what he said, she quickly raised her head and looked behind her, and it was true.

Judging by the speed at which the water was rising, she knew they really would have to leave.

Liu Yunyi didn't know how fast the water was rising, so he said, "I think the water is still quite far away from us. How about we pick up some more before we go?"

He really hasn’t picked up enough today!

Liu Xiaoxiao disagreed and said, "We have to listen to grandma. Uncle called us just now, it must be grandma who said that. If you don't listen and get scolded when you go back, don't ask me for help."

Zhu Yun thought of her mother's anger that morning and advised, "Listen to me, my daughter. Let's go now."
