Chapter 465 Dealing with the Fish Talisman
The next day, it was already bright daylight, and the bright sunlight shone through the window.
When Xu Yi woke up, the bedside was empty, leaving only a cold indentation on the pillow.
She reached out and touched nothing, startled, and sat up abruptly, the sleepiness on her face vanishing instantly.
Hearing the noisy commotion outside, she finally calmed down a little.
"Big sister, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I would have gone in to wake you."
Sihai brandished a wooden knife, saying, "Brother Anyang heard you were still asleep, so he went to the restaurant to get busy."
"Big sister, hurry up and wash up, I'll cook you some rice noodles." Sanchuan put Wuyuan, whom he was carrying, on the small bed and went into the kitchen to start a fire.
Xu Yiyi rubbed her eyes and squatted down next to the well, chewing on a willow branch.
Suddenly, an extremely bitter herbal scent exploded in my mouth, rushing straight to my head along the back of my tongue.
The astringent taste made her squint slightly and furrow her brows.
I woke up instantly.
After breakfast, she didn't rush to town, but went straight to the shed in the corner of the yard where she stored miscellaneous items and fishing gear.
She skillfully bent down and picked up her gear from a pile of tangled fishing nets and ropes.
"You guys stay home and have fun, I'm going out to sea for a bit."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, she didn't linger. She slung her rain bag over her shoulder, carried the fishing net in her hand, held the harpoon in her hand, and strode towards the river.
The sun rose higher, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, brushed against her temples.
"Uncle."
Xu Yiyi first greeted A Da before putting the things she was carrying onto the small boat.
When Ah Da saw her, he quickly took out some copper coins from his pocket and handed them to her.
"Uncle, you're too kind!" Xu Yiyi said softly but firmly. "It's our own boat, we're just sitting here doing nothing anyway."
She waved her hands repeatedly: "I'll use the boat first. I won't need it when I get to town later. You can use the boat then."
As she spoke, she untied the rope and pushed the small boat out.
The tide submerged the rocky beach, and Xu Yiyi drifted away with the flow of the sea.
At this time, the sun is at its zenith, so you don't have to worry about the cold water when you go in.
Once they were far from the island and Ping'an Town, Xu Yiyi took something out of her pocket.
The token flipped between his fingers, its dark iron color reflecting the rising sun.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the half of the fish-shaped talisman.
The finger loosened, and the token fell into the water, silently sinking into the deep blue depths.
Xu Yiyi let out a soft breath, and just as she was about to exhale, a soft "thump" came from the bottom of the boat.
She frowned and leaned down, meeting a pair of eyes as black as pearls.
"what!"
The sea turtle surfaced, carrying in its mouth the half of the token that had just sunk into the deep sea.
"Why do you pick up everything?" Xu Yiyi said helplessly.
The sea turtle stretched its neck and banged against the deck, making a dull thud.
Xu Yiyi reached out and took the token back: "This is something we don't want, we can't take it back."
As she spoke, she forcefully threw the fish-shaped talisman out.
Unexpectedly, the usually clever sea turtle couldn't understand human speech at this moment. It glanced at Xu Yiyi and then swam towards the direction of the fish talisman.
Xu Yi tied all the tools on the boat to her waist.
He jumped into the water with a splash.
She swam straight to the bottom, and the sea turtle retrieved the fish charm she had thrown out again and followed her.
Before she could even remove the fish-shaped talisman, the sea turtle chased after three or five jellyfish.
