Chapter 51 Roasting and Eating River Clams
For the sake of a pearl, a good person became disabled.
Ivy couldn't help but wonder if it was worth it to do this or not.
She hadn't slept all night, nor had she eaten anything. Plus, with her left foot injured, Ivy was exhausted and unable to move. She fell asleep directly on the shore.
Not far away was a fishing boat with several fishermen standing on board.
One of them pointed towards the riverbank. "Do you see that? Isn't there someone lying down over there? It's a woman!"
"It's a woman who seems to be injured!"
"Blake, there's an injured woman by the shore..."
Several men immediately reported back to their leader known as Blake.
Blake made an immediate decision. "Let's go take a look!"
On the shore, Ivy had only just fallen asleep when the giant river clam caught up with her. Seeing Ivy lying on the bank sleeping soundly, it quickly opened its shell and pounced towards her.
"Oh my god! Where did such a big river clam come from? Blake! There is a huge river clam trying to swallow that woman!"
"Catch it and we'll have meat for lunch!"
The boat docked ashore and with Blake’s loud shout; seven or eight shirtless men rushed over like tigers wielding iron forks in hand.
No matter how hard its shell was, it could not withstand being stabbed by seven or eight iron forks at once. After breaking open its shell into pieces they set up firewood along side sea beach where they skewered clams onto iron forks before roasting them over flames.
Ivy was too tired after falling asleep so deeply that she didn’t even know about what happened to the river clam being killed by people around her.
When she woke up from sleep later on; she found out that seven or eight strange men were roasting meat not far from her. She was puzzled as to why she didn't know anything about such a big commotion.
Thinking that she was just a weak woman, Ivy became more and more scared. Oh my god, if these men took advantage of her while she was asleep...
"Are you awake?" Blake's deep and powerful voice sounded.
He was tall and strong with dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, well-defined features, square face with sharp edges; he looked like someone who had been doing manual labor for years.
"Who are you?" Ivy couldn't help but hold herself tightly when seeing how strong the other party looked.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. We're all fishermen making our living by fishing." Blake handed Ivy a string of roasted clam meat and smiled at her saying "Hungry? Eat it!"
His teeth were really white; Ivy sighed in admiration inwardly.
However, how could Ivy dare to eat something from an unfamiliar man? She hesitated and did not accept it.
Blake took another bite in front of Ivy before handing it over again. "I've eaten some already. Don’t worry! If we wanted to harm you then you wouldn’t have even woken up."
That made sense so Ivy laughed awkwardly.
Seven or eight men saw that Ivy had woken up so they immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.
"You're very brave for playing alone by the riverbank!"
"Do you know that you almost got eaten by the river clam just now? Fortunately we arrived in time and killed the river clam to save your life!"
"The river clam is dead?" It was hard for Ivy to believe this news.
"It's dead! Blake won't lie to you. Look here - this is its meat." One of the men held out his hand with broken pieces of shell fragments towards where Ivy was.
It was indeed the river clam. Ivy saw the shell fragments and felt relieved in her heart.
"Thank you!" Ivy decisively took the roasted clam meat and took a big bite.
It tasted really good.
Ivy was too beautiful, and her elegant way of eating made it even more so. The men had been fishing by the sea for years, rarely seeing women; they were all stunned at once when they saw Ivy who looked like a goddess.
