Moreover, he felt the rabbit seemed to have already stopped coming this way.

Forget it!

Let's wait another couple of days and see; if it's still like this in two days, Su Qiao will need to change the trap.

Continuing to drag Ye Zi along, Su Qiao quickly returned to the camp.

"Husband, the wild vegetable soup is ready, just waiting for you. Do you want to eat something first?"

Liu Rushi called out to Su Qiao.

Su Qiao first placed the Ye Zi he brought back on the ground, then wiped the sweat from his face before saying, "Wait a moment. I'll go check the fish trap first; maybe we can add another meal!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about the fish trap. Husband, go check it quickly."

"Okay!"

Su Qiao chuckled and hurried toward the seaside.

The girl Qing'er, being quite curious, immediately shouted, "Son-in-law, I'm coming too! I'll go help you!"

"Hmph, what help? You're just curious about what we can catch. Let's go, we'll all go over and take a look."

Liu Rushi immediately exposed Xiao Qing'er's intentions.

Xiao Qing'er's pretty face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

However, Liu Rushi was also quite curious and proposed to follow along; Su Qiao did not refuse.

Anyway, there was no danger at the seaside right now.

At most, it's just a few more steps.

Besides, with two fish traps, who knows what might be caught.

If a lot of fish are caught, the two women can help carry some.

The two women, reminded by Su Qiao many times, also carried bamboo spears and followed him toward the seaside together.

There is still some danger on Haidao, so carrying weapons at all times makes self-protection convenient.

After arriving at the seaside, Su Qiao, following his memory, quickly found the first fish trap he had set.

The fish trap was placed among the reefs, and the seawater here was clear, allowing one to see the seabed at a glance.

The height was merely waist-high.

So, although Su Qiao had not yet acted, he could already see quite a few things inside the fish trap.

Eh!

There are quite a lot of seafood here!

Su Qiao, somewhat delighted, pulled the fish trap and lifted it out of the water.

He then saw the situation inside clearly through the holes.

There was one grouper, plus two sea bass, and also herring; there was also one cod, though it was quite small.

Surprisingly, three crabs were seen too; not being dead was truly lucky.

"Did you catch anything?"

343, a delightful harvest!

While Su Qiao was roughly checking, the curious master and servant duo ran over.

So Su Qiao temporarily handed the fish trap to them.

"The harvest is abundant; don't open the lid, just look through it. I'll go find the other one first to see how that harvest is."

"Okay!"

The two women happily took the fish basket from Su Qiao's hands.

They then looked inside through the holes and counted item by item.

"I didn't expect the harvest to be so large; this is truly wonderful!"

"Come on, count quickly how many fish there are!"

"One, two, three..."

While the two women were counting over there, Su Qiao also found the second fish trap at this moment.

Through the seawater, he roughly saw that the second fish trap was also full of things.

It seemed the amount was not less than the first fish trap!

Oh?!

A curve formed at the corner of Su Qiao's mouth; he felt he had encountered another surprise.

If discovering so many fish in the first fish trap was considered a surprise, then this now counts as a second surprise.

Because inside the second fish trap, which was stuffed full, there were actually three large Long Xia!

That's right!

It was three large Long Xia!

They really stuffed the fish trap completely full.

According to common sense, Long Xia, like land animals, also have their own territories.

It's just unclear why these three 150 Long Xia were all attracted here.

It's easy for them to crawl into the fish trap, but once inside, their claws and such prevent them from getting out.

They can't spring out!

Now, Su Qiao lifted them all away in one go!

What luck, such good luck!

When Su Qiao lifted the fish trap, he really couldn't help but chuckle.

Not far away, Liu Rushi heard Su Qiao's laughter and asked curiously, "Master, what have you discovered that makes you so happy?!"

Su Qiao chuckled, paying no attention to Liu Rushi's address, and walked over carrying the fish cage.

"Didn't you say yesterday that the Long Xia weren't satisfying enough and there were too few? Come look, see how many there are here!"

Su Qiao handed the fish cage over with a smile.

"Ah, could it be Long Xia?"

Liu Rushi took it curiously, then peered through the fish cage and immediately let out a scream.

"Ah! There are actually three!"

"Where, where?"

Little girl Xiao Qing'er, hearing there were three Long Xia, found her previous fish cage no longer appealing and hurried over.

After seeing the three large Long Xia with her own eyes, she was so happy her mouth wouldn't close.

"Alright, this time our harvest is not small; it's enough for us to eat for two days. Let's go back first; there's still a fire pit at the camp!"

Su Qiao carried the fish cage holding the fish, while Xiao Qing'er and Liu Rushi took turns carrying the fish cage holding the large Long Xia.

Everyone returned to the camp very quickly.

Whoosh!

As soon as Liu Rushi returned, the little white fox, which had been missing who knows where, suddenly darted out.

And it pounced directly at Su Qiao with a very clear target.

After all, Su Qiao had healed its leg injury.

Among the three people, the little white fox was closest to Su Qiao, next closest to Liu Rushi, and least close to Xiao Qing'er.

Su Qiao found it quite amusing watching the little creature scampering endlessly around his lower leg.

It seemed it must be hungry.

He bent down, casually picked it up, and placed it on his shoulder.

Only then did he open the fish cage and pour out the fish inside, which were already on their last breaths.

The little creature, who knew not from whom it had learned, stuck out its tiny pink tongue and kept licking and licking!

Su Qiao quickly grabbed it down and stuffed it into Liu Rushi's chest.

"Altogether there are about nine fish; two are small fish, and the rest are large fish. Let's smoke the large fish first, and we'll eat the small ones directly later."

While speaking, Su Qiao opened the other fish cage holding the large Long Xia.

Su Qiao took out the three large Long Xia.

At this moment, the three large Long Xia, like the fish, were also on their last breaths.

Su Qiao decisively helped them relieve themselves and find release!
