Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 803 Catching Abalone
But even though Song Wanqing was very happy now, Xiao Jiajia's mood quickly turned bad.The little girl wanted to find some beautiful conch shells on the beach, but Zhao Lei led her to search for them on the beach for a long time, and found nothing except a few small unremarkable shells.

This made Jiajia very disappointed, her small mouth was pouted high, her face turned cloudy, and she looked like she was about to cry soon.

Zhao Lei persuaded the little girl with a smile: "Jiajia, don't worry, anyway, you and mother will stay for a few more days, shall we come back tomorrow?"

Jia Jia pouted and said, "What if I can't find it all the time? When I set off, I promised my grandfather that I would give him a beautiful conch back home!"

Only then did Zhao Lei understand why the little girl was so anxious, and he couldn't bear to let the child down, so he smiled and said to her, "Uncle has a way to find the conch, but Jiajia must be obedient!"

"Jiajia is the most obedient!" The little girl nodded quickly, and asked Zhao Lei full of expectation: "Uncle Zhao Lei, how can you find a good-looking conch?"

Zhao Lei told Jiajia: "Conch snails live in the sea. Uncle can dive into the water to look for them, but Jiajia must stay on the shore and never go into the water. Remember?"

The little girl nodded happily and said, "Uncle Zhao Lei, don't worry, I will definitely not go into the water, so go find it!"

"Remember, you must not go into the water!" Zhao Lei repeatedly told Jiajia, and then dived into the water to help her find the conch.

For most people, diving to find conch is a chore.However, Zhao Lei has already practiced the fourth level of the three pure heart methods - fetal breathing, and can stay underwater for a long time without breathing at all, so it is just a piece of cake for him.

Zhao Lei in the water was as nimble as a fish, and after a few strokes, he was already close to the bottom of the sea.The water in the Indian Ocean is extremely clear, and the sunlight can directly shine on the seabed several meters deep, allowing Zhao Lei to see the surrounding situation clearly.

There are many smooth rocks on the bottom of the sea, and the surface is covered with a layer of seaweed.There are also corals and algae growing among the rocks, and many small fish shuttle among them, which is the favorite environment for shellfish such as conch.

Zhao Lei started looking for traces of the conch, and soon found a large area, but found nothing, and did not know where all the conch went.

Zhao Lei didn't want to disappoint Jiajia, so he continued to expand the search area, and finally got some results. Under the coral next to the rock, he found two beautiful conch shells.

Worried that Jiajia would become anxious if she waited too long, Zhao Lei quickly swam back to the shore and showed the little girl the conch he had just found with a smile.

Now Jiajia was happy, quickly took the conch and looked it over carefully, and said with a smile on her face: "Ah, what a beautiful conch!"

Seeing the little girl's happy smile, Zhao Lei couldn't help but asked her with a smile: "Does Jiajia like these conch shells? Do you want uncle to help you find some more?"

Jiajia nodded again and again: "Okay, okay!"

"Then stay on the shore obediently and don't come down!" Zhao Lei told the little girl, and soon went back to the sea to help her find the conch.

This time Zhao Lei swam farther and dived deeper, but found nothing. It seems that today is indeed not a good day to look for conch.

Just when Zhao Lei was about to go back, he suddenly saw more than a dozen abalones, about the size of his palm, slowly crawling on a rock for food.Zhao Lei immediately thought that these abalones could be raised in the gourd space to make better use of the ocean in it.

So Zhao Lei swam over quickly, took out the soul-stirring nail from the gourd space with a little thought, and started to catch these abalones.

Zhao Lei once watched a documentary, and knew that he had to be quick-sighted and quick-witted to catch this kind of shellfish. He pried the abalone off the rock before it could react.If the abalone is disturbed but fails to be pried off, it will be firmly adsorbed on the rock, even if the abalone shell is smashed, it cannot be allowed to leave the rock.

Fortunately, for Zhao Lei today, it is not difficult to have a sharp eye and a quick hand.He quietly approached an abalone, and suddenly pried it hard with the flat side of the soul-destroying nail, and immediately took the abalone off the rock.

"Great, it's going well!" Zhao Lei cheered in his heart, and with a thought, he put the abalone into the sea in the gourd space.

However, the soul-destroying nail gave Zhao Lei an extremely dissatisfied emotion, as if complaining to him that a psychic magic weapon should not be allowed to do such a thing.

Zhao Lei hurriedly calmed the soul-destroying nail with his thoughts, and finally calmed down the magic weapon, so that he could continue to catch abalone.

With the first experience, Zhao Lei's technique became more and more proficient, and he quickly caught all the abalones on the rocks.However, considering the size of the sea in the calabash space, Zhao Lei plans to catch more abalones and keep them in it.So he swam elsewhere to continue his search, hoping to find more abalone.

"96, 97, 98..." Although there are not many conchs in this sea area, there are quite a lot of abalones.Zhao Lei counted secretly in his heart, and it didn't take long to catch nearly a hundred abalones.

This also inspired Zhao Lei, and planned to take advantage of today's good luck to catch two hundred abalones and raise them in the gourd space.These abalones can thrive in the gourd space, which is equivalent to having a steady stream of money.

Zhao Lei, who was so focused on catching abalone, was completely immersed in the joy of harvesting, but completely ignored the time. He didn't even notice that he had been underwater for more than half an hour. At this time, Song Wanqing on the shore was already anxious.

Song Wanqing came to the beach about 10 minutes ago. She only saw her daughter on the shore alone. After asking Jiajia, she found out that Zhao Lei went to help her dive to find conch shells.

Song Wanqing knew that Zhao Lei's water skills were good, so she didn't take it seriously at first.However, after waiting for a few minutes, Zhao Lei didn't come out of the water, and the strong woman began to feel a little worried.

As time went by, Song Wanqing became more and more anxious, and various ominous thoughts flooded her mind, making her afraid to think about it any more.

If it was in other places, Song Wanqing would have asked others for help.However, this beach is so deserted that even the employees of the farm will not come, and there is no one to help.

Thinking that Zhao Lei might be struggling under the water now, Song Wanqing also made up her mind, and whispered to her daughter, "Jiajia, go back to the villa and wait for mom first! Do you remember how to call? If it gets dark, mom will If you didn’t come back, you called and told your grandpa that your mother went to the sea to find Uncle Zhao Lei, and she hasn’t come back yet, remember?”

Although Song Jiayun didn't quite understand what happened, but looking at her mother with a serious expression, the sensible little girl still nodded slightly and said: "I remember, mom, don't worry!"

"Hey, go back quickly!" Song Wanqing hugged her daughter tightly, urging her to return to the villa as soon as possible.

Watching her daughter's tiny figure walk into the villa, Song Wanqing took a deep breath and walked towards the sea with firm steps.
