Chapter 40

“What happened?”

He Hongxiu ran over quickly, panting heavily and looking Jiang Yan up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sister-in-law, come and catch the fish.”

Jiang Yan pulled He Hongxiu towards the reef. He Hongxiu looked confused and could only hear the sound of water rushing in front of her.

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, He Hongxiu smiled and said, “Sister Jiang Yan, there are no fish here…”

He Hongxiu swallowed the last few words back into her stomach.

She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at the school of fish swaying in the puddle. They were so densely packed, like dumplings, but even more numerous than dumplings.

Jiang Yan was surprised again.

In just a short while, there were a lot more fish in the puddle.

The two little guys beside He Hongxiu were also stunned.

Although the third child was young, he knew that this situation was not normal, so he looked at his sister Sheng Anning and whispered, “Sister, can I eat this fish?”

Sheng Anning shook her head. She didn’t know whether she could eat it or not.

The third brother thought that the fish were inedible and looked at the pit full of fish with some regret.

“Why is there no sound?”

“Sister Jiang Yan, Sister Hong Xiu, are you okay?”

At this time, Yuan Sufeng and Feng Yingchun also ran over with their children. Seeing He Hongxiu and her two children standing blankly on the beach, they hurried over.

The scene was silent for a few seconds again, and then there was a burst of loud surprise.

“Oh my god, there are so many fish!”

“I am not dreaming.”

Yuan Sufeng and Feng Yingchun were also stunned.

Although fish is not as expensive as pork, it still costs several cents per pound, and the expensive ones can be sold for around one dollar. How much would so many fish cost!

Seeing the three of them standing there in a daze, Jiang Yan hurriedly said, “Sisters-in-law, don’t just stand there in a daze. Hurry up and catch the fish. If the school of fish disperses, you won’t be able to catch them.”

“Oh, yes, yes, fish, fish.”

After hearing Jiang Yan’s reminder, the three of them reacted and hurriedly took the net bags in their hands and started catching fish one by one.

The fish were trying hard to squeeze in, and the density in the puddle was very high.

Fishing is very simple.

They could catch one or two fish at any time, and the wooden barrels brought by the three people were soon filled to the brim.

But they did not stop and continued to fish out of the puddle. If they couldn’t fit in the bucket, they would just throw the fish onto the shore.

Feng Yingchun was very strong. He poured the fish in the bucket directly onto the shore and carried them out one bucket at a time.

Jiang Yan also started throwing fish onto the shore and soon became tired and sweaty.

Seeing that the four of them were too busy, Jiang Yan asked Sheng An Ning to call other people on the beach to come and fish.

The little guy nodded and hurried to the beach, shouting loudly.

“Aunts, sisters, come and catch some fish. There are so many fish here. Come quickly!”

Hearing the shouting, everyone immediately looked over and saw the little girl from the soldier’s wife’s family waving at them vigorously.

Everyone couldn’t believe it.

“What did that little girl say? Let us go over and catch fish?”

“Where are the fish to be caught?”

“It must be fake. If fish were really so easy to catch, would we still be hungry?”

“But I don’t think that little girl is lying.”

“Those military wives haven’t come out yet, why don’t we go over and take a look.”

Everyone slowly came over, and Sheng An Ning also ran back to the fish pile to report the results to Jiang Yan.

“Ningning is awesome.”

Jiang Yan praised with a smile, and the little girl smiled shyly.

After a while, people from the beach came over. Seeing the fresh fish all over the ground, everyone’s eyes widened.

“Is this a poke at the sea god’s nest?”

“Where are all the fish?”

A young boy came over quietly, wanting to take away a few fish, but was discovered by the little guys.

“Don’t take it, this is our fish.” Sheng An Ning walked up bravely and loudly stopped the boy who was stealing the fish.

Jiang Yan looked over when she heard the sound, and the boy quickly retracted his hand.

Seeing that he was covered in patches, Jiang Yan felt a little soft-hearted. “If you want to eat fish, come and catch it yourself, but you can’t touch the fish we catch.”

“Okay, okay, no problem.”

“Don’t worry, military wives. We will definitely not touch your fish.”

Several older women hurried over with buckets of water, and other half-grown children also rushed over.

He Hongxiu and a few others also gave up one side of the puddle and fished on the other side themselves.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to come over, Yuan Sufeng said, “Sister Jiang Yan, this place is small and there won’t be enough space for more people. Just watch the fish there.”

“Yes, yes, sister, you take a rest, we will do it.”

Feng Yingchun also spoke up, saying that they were able to get so many fish today thanks to Jiang Yan, so she didn’t care whether Jiang Yan worked or not.

He Hongxiu also advised: “Please help us look after the children. There are so many people here now, so they won’t run around.”

“Thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law.”

Jiang Yan carried her bucket and net bag to the pile of fish, where several little ones were looking at the fish carefully.

Sheng Anjun pulled her sleeve and asked softly, “Aunt, can we eat these fish?”

Rubbing the little guy’s soft head, Jiang Yan smiled and said, “Of course, Xiaojun can ask mother to make fish soup, fish meatballs, and braised fish for you tonight.”

The little guy trusted Jiang Yan more than his sister. When he heard that all the fish were edible, he danced with joy, “Oh, oh, we can eat fish.”

Jiang Yan smiled and shook her head.

After being busy for so long, her hands and feet were a little sore. She looked around and found that there was no place to sit.

So she poured the fish in the wooden barrel into the pile of fish, wiped the bottom of the barrel on the dry sand, turned the barrel over and sat on it.

opposite.

Everyone was busy, catching fish of all sizes and stacking them carefully.

Everyone had a smile on their face, a smile of satisfaction that came from the heart, infecting everyone present. Jiang Yan also smiled unconsciously.

Maybe this is the good life.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Jiang Yan heard the sound of water drops in her mind, and she quickly called out the system.

The system interface has been updated, and a task module has been added, but this module is shown as being updated.

Jiang Yan was looking forward to it. She wondered what changes would happen after the new module was updated.

After more than ten minutes, the effect of the fish bait gradually disappeared and the fish in the sea gradually dispersed.

He Hongxiu scooped up the last fish in the puddle that had not yet had time to swim away, walked over and poured the fish into the pile of fish, then sat down tiredly.

“Emma, ​​I’m so tired. I didn’t expect fishing to be so tiring.” Wiping the sweat from her head, Yuan Sufeng also sat down next to her.

Feng Yingchun smiled and said, “Although I am tired, I am happy! If I could catch so many fish every day, I would be willing to die of exhaustion.”

Nearby, the young girls and wives in the village also joined in with a smile.

“Thank you sisters-in-law today. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to catch so many fish.”

“yes!”

“These sea fish are so stupid that they all squeeze into the pit. They are just delivering themselves to us to eat.”

“If only this fish could be stupid a few more times, we could eat more and sell it for some money.”

The three sisters-in-law smiled but said nothing, all waiting for Jiang Yan to express her opinion. After all, she was the first to discover this.

Jiang Yan didn’t want to expose herself, so she smiled and said, “We are lucky. If we hadn’t come out today, we might not have come across these fish.”

No one thought much about it. After all, they had never heard of such a large fish gathering together, so they just thought it was some magical natural phenomenon.

The three sisters-in-law didn’t think much about it, but just became closer to Jiang Yan.

After resting for a while, everyone prepared to carry the fish home.

I didn’t notice it when I was catching them, but now that I’m trying to carry them home I realize there are really a lot of big fish.

The people from the village arrived later, so their harvest was smaller, but the least was three to five kilograms, and the most was more than ten to twenty kilograms, which was much more than the usual harvest from fishing.

These are all meat, not conchs and crabs which are mostly made up of shells.

The pile that Jiang Yan and her friends had was even bigger, looking like a small mountain, and probably weighed several hundred kilograms.
