He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Then, He Zhenzhen let out a scream, her little face immediately showing immense joy!

The scream terrified everyone around.

Aunt Zhang patted her heart.

"Zhenzhen, why are you yelling like that? You scared your Aunt Zhang so much she had a heart attack."

A woman nearby laughed and said, "Oh dear, maybe this girl really did catch a clam! Come on, pull it out and see. Don't end up like your boyfriend, empty-handed!"

Although they were from another fishing village, they could tell that He Zhenzhen and Niu Bayi were a couple.

He Zhenzhen snorted, then suddenly pulled her hand out and raised it high!

She didn't care that the mud and water were flowing down her arm.

She exclaimed proudly, "Look at this! What is it?"

Everyone looked at her raised hand and immediately burst into shouts.

Some people even shouted louder than He Zhenzhen had just shouted.

"My goodness! What a huge ark clam! How can there be such a big ark clam in this mudflat?"

He Zhenzhen held it up high, and it was indeed a red clam.

It's quite large, probably bigger than a child's fist, and weighs at least three ounces.

Suddenly, everyone's face was filled with jealousy!

The person who had just said she had dug up the entire mudflat also started shouting.

"My goodness, there was such a huge ark clam hidden inside! Why didn't I know to dig deeper? What a pity! That ark clam should have been mine!"

He Zhenzhen said excitedly, "Isn't my boyfriend amazing? He said there were ark clams here, and he definitely did! Look, they weigh at least three ounces! Has anyone ever found such a big ark clam on this mudflat before?"

A group of people shook their heads.

That's true.

The ark shells on the mudflats are generally quite small; if they weigh about two ounces, that's considered quite remarkable.

A fish as big as the one He Zhenzhen is holding usually needs to be caught in the sea using a trawl net.

No one expected that such a treasure was hidden deep in the mudflats.

Seeing how proud He Zhenzhen was, some people curled their lip.

"What's the big deal?"

"It's like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. Don't be fooled by how big the mudflats are; there are probably only one or two ark shells like the one you're holding. You might get lucky and find one, but after that, you won't find any more!"

The people around them all nodded in agreement.

But whether they were speaking or nodding, they all sounded sour.

Absolutely!

Seeing that others can dig up such large ark shells while you can't, you're bound to be jealous.

This jealousy led them to insist that they would never be able to find a second one.

Strangely enough, once they made up their minds, everyone felt much better.

But things soon became difficult again.

Because Niu Bayi squatted back down, then moved his hands to a different spot, burying them deep into the mudflats.

Not long after, he pulled it out, and without saying a word, nodded to He Zhenzhen.

He Zhenzhen quickly threw the ark shell into her basket and squatted down as well.

Following the spot where Niu Bayi had just dug, they reached their little hands in.

Soon, she let out an even more delighted scream.

"Who says it's luck? My partner is clearly skilled, capable, and talented!"

She suddenly pulled her little hand out and raised it high.

In his hand was an even larger ark shell, probably weighing four ounces, quite heavy.

Under the sunlight, it even reflects a slight sheen, making it look very full and tempting.

Everyone around was stunned, their mouths and eyes wide open.

Aunt Zhang exclaimed, "What's wrong with you? One minute you're touching a three-ounce one, the next you're touching a four-ounce one! What kind of luck is this?!"

Niu Bayi smiled slightly.

"Aunt Zhang, this isn't luck. My boyfriend is right, it's skill! Expertise! Ability!"

He Zhenzhen happily tossed the second ark shell into her basket.

He grabbed Niu Bayi's arm tightly with his two muddy hands.

"Bayi, you're amazing! I admire you more than anything else. Hurry up and dig up a third ark shell. With your skills, you'll definitely find even more and bigger ones!"

Niu Bayi nodded with a sour and refreshing expression.

"Absolutely! But there aren't any large ark shells left in this area, let's look elsewhere."

He took He Zhenzhen's hand and walked towards another place.

As soon as they left, a group of older women rushed over.

Squatting in the mud, he frantically dug with a small rake.

This is definitely a recipe for disaster!

Niu Bayi turned his head and looked at it, feeling both annoyed and amused.

He said, "Stop digging, it's all gone!"

Nobody listened to him; they just kept digging.

Why can others dig up such large ark shells, but we can't?

Seeing the noisy scene, He Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue.

"Bayi, there really aren't any ark clams down there, just these two? How did you know there were ark clams?"

Niu Ba blinked.

"Don't forget, I'm the Dragon King's godson. He gave me amazing abilities. Just by standing there, I can tell if there are any ark shells down there, and how many there are."

That's pretty awesome.

Actually, he knew all along that he was going to come to Dongwangjiao to dig for ark shells, so he figured he would use the space seawater.

It might work.

In areas where ark shells are likely to appear, some seawater is scattered for exploration.

On the other hand, it can also attract any ark shells that may be present to crawl out.

After releasing the seawater from the space, he focused his mind and indeed made a discovery.

Seawater is a treasure trove; you can easily get rich by beachcombing!

He Zhenzhen was overjoyed to hear this.

"You're the Dragon King's godson, and I'm his godson's daughter-in-law. Ba Yi, when are you going to get your godfather to show me some skill?"

As she spoke, she shook her head vigorously.

"It's better not to. Don't take away anything from you. I'll give you all my skills. I'll just follow you around and live a life of luxury."

Looking at the sensible He Zhenzhen, Niu Bayi felt extremely gratified.

Holding her little hand, we ran to another patch of land.

The seawater was released silently.

Not long after, He Zhenzhen's screams echoed across the mudflats again!

"Wow, what a huge ark clam! This...this must weigh at least half a pound!"

Immediately, everyone looked over, their eyes practically glowing with envy.

He Zhenzhen stood a dozen meters away, holding an incredibly large ark shell high in her hands, looking extremely proud.

Next, Niu Bayi led He Zhenzhen around the mudflats.

Wherever they went, they could always dig up a few ark shells from below.

Some had two or three, while others had four or five.

They even dug up a king clam.

What is the Red Clam King?

Any shellfish weighing over one pound can be called the King of Red Clams.

This made everyone not only envious, but also a little frightened.

It's important to know that even with deep-sea fishing, it's extremely difficult to obtain a pound of ark shell.

Niu Bayi, however, dug it up from under the mudflats?

How did he even manage to dig it up?!

It was only two hours.

Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen carried heavy baskets on their backs, filled with large clams.

As the two kept changing locations, a group of older women kept rushing over to take over the spot where they had just dug for clams.

But they basically didn't find anything.

At most, you can dig up one or two ark clams weighing a few tens of grams.

Finally, He Zhenzhen cried out, "I can't carry her anymore! I really can't carry her anymore!"
