Chapter 1142 The Big Wave Brought by the Red Tide

Looking down from a high place, the sight line is quite good, and with a telescope, I can still track the group of six-banded trevally.

Father Ye also followed his prompting and chased the group of fish.

Simply speaking, the well-fed silver shark did not swim very fast, and the large army following behind did not swim very fast either. The fish shadows were moving on the sea surface.

The fishing boat drove past quickly, and then slowed down and stopped after passing a distance. The boatmen were already ready. As soon as the fishing boat stopped and saw a school of fish driving past, they immediately put the arranged fishing nets Throw it out.

There were two more nets full of fish, but when the nets were being closed, the fish did not stop at all and continued to move forward. They also deviated from the direction of their fishing boat and swam to the side.

Because there was a lot of fish and one net was full, it took time for them to collect the nets. After the two nets were collected one after another and dumped on the deck, Ye Yaodong stood on the helm and looked through the binoculars, but no trace of the fish could be seen anymore. .

He only knew that he had just moved to the side. He pointed in the direction and asked his father to continue driving in the direction he pointed to see if he could find it again. If he didn't find it, he would have no choice but to give up. , this wave of six-banded trevally can only bring them so much harvest.

Father Ye kept moving forward in the direction he pointed, and no more fish could be seen. Ye Yaodong also took a telescope and looked in all directions, and no more fluctuations were seen on the sea. , even the seabirds were scattered or flying around their fishing boats.

I don’t know whether it was because I was full, or because I was frustrated because I couldn’t eat any big fish, or because I had more to eat by following their fishing boat.

"Is it gone? Can't find it?"

Ye Yaodong took down the telescope and said, "I can't find it. It either ran far away or sank under the water. I can't see the trace anymore. It's up to you. You decide for yourself which direction and coordinates you want to go."

It would be great if a fish detector could be installed so that we could detect the situation under the ocean.

"Forget it if you can't find it. There should be quite a few like the one we just encountered."

"I'll go down and take a look. You'd better drive the boat."

The deck was still full of fish, and some bolder seabirds swooped down to catch the big fish, but they never succeeded and were waved away.

When everyone is sorting out the goods, they will also throw some small fish out to feed the seabirds, attracting them to fly down and grab them.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone picking goods there and squatted down to help them pick. He also asked, "Do you know how many kilograms you caught?"

"It should be around 3,000 kilograms, so it can be sold at a good price."

"We haven't even reached the fishing area yet. We've caught so much before we even start lowering the net. It's pretty good..."

"Chen Shi's stuttering is much better. It seems that Fish School can cure his stuttering?"

Chen Shi chuckled, "No, it's just so... shocking. It was the first time... I saw... the fish... in the water, so many... words."

“I couldn’t say it then but I can say it now.”

"yes."

"It's a pity that we can't set the net here yet. It's too shallow. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to catch more residue."

"If we drive a little further and take a look, we can no longer see many jellyfish, which means we are almost out of the offshore area."

They are now heading towards the East China Sea. In the past, they used to head towards the Taiwan Strait or towards the southeastern coast.

While driving the fishing boat, Father Ye used the compass to identify the direction of travel. In unfamiliar waters, he did not dare to drive too far. After calculating the time, he felt that it was almost time, and then he asked people to lower the net.

The nearby sea is endless and boundless, with no mountains and rivers visible, only the coastline on the horizon.

The Dongsheng was extremely insignificant in front of the vast sea, as inconspicuous as a grain of sand in the desert.

The sun was scorching during the day, but the wind on the sea was still very cool. After sorting all the goods, Ye Yaodong returned to the ship's warehouse to take a rest, while others lowered the nets and cooked.

I took advantage of my free time to do what I needed to do, and I was still busy when I waited for the internet to come online.

Lying there, he was not idle. He was still thinking that the trench was exposed, and there probably wouldn't be many ships coming to make money next year.

After all, it is not as huge a profit as it was two years ago. It is only divided among their families. Now everyone in the city is participating. It is not worth fighting the locals to make money.

If they can still earn a household of ten thousand yuan in one trip and bleed like rivers, they may still think it is worth it, because no one will think of themselves as cannon fodder, and will always imagine that they are the chosen one who will have the last laugh.

However, it is not ruled out that some people think that it may be standardized next year and it will not be so dangerous. It is also the flood season here after all. Even if they are fishing from the sea one by one, it is better than making a little bit of money by trawling at home.

He thought about it a lot, but he felt that he didn't need to worry about those people in the village next year. Everyone who was supposed to come this year had already been there and knew their location, so they could make their own arrangements.

At most, wait until he takes up the position of vice-president. If there are any relevant policies or other matters, tell him in advance. If there is any difficulty, he will help if necessary. After all, he is from the same village, so we should stick together. Hold a group.

If he came, he would definitely have to come far in advance.

It is impossible to catch all the sea urchins in the trench in just one month. Who knows how the weather will change? Even if it is sunny every day, he has no idea how long the trench is. He can only move little by little after catching all the jellyfish in one area.

This time, he only plans to stay for about three days. He will return immediately when the fish tank is full. With such a few days of buffer, the locals probably have tried and given up.

When he returns, the trench will still belong to him.

Why should he go far away when he can make a lot of money nearby?

While it is not autumn yet and the weather has not turned cold, he can go into the water as many times as possible. After catching all the sea urchins at the bottom of the trench, he may be able to move outside.

When he comes next year, he will not have to stay in the trench where jellyfish gather, but move out along the trench below.

By then, everyone will squeeze in there to catch jellyfish, and he only needs to catch sea urchins easily outside, staggered from everyone else, which is better.

He fantasized wildly, and as he thought, he fell asleep. He didn't even have lunch. The boatman wanted to come in and call him, but he left after seeing him sleeping.

It was too early to get up at night, so they took a nap after lunch and woke up just in time to collect the nets.

All day long, except near the coast, they didn't see a fishing boat. Only their boat was floating alone on the sea.

It's not that they haven't gone out to sea before, but now they don't know if it's because they are in another province. The fishing boats are floating alone all day, and they feel a little scared when they work at night.

Even at night, they can see the Harvest when they look up. There are two boats accompanying them, which makes them feel particularly safe.

Ye Yaodong slept during the day, so he took over the first half of the night automatically.

Just as he was driving the boat slowly around the sea, two boatmen who were in the same shift with him ran up from the lower deck.

He asked in confusion: "What? Have you picked up the goods below?"

"We have picked them up. There are only two of us on the deck. It feels empty... a little scary..." Chen Laoqi rubbed his arms back and forth with his hands.

Chen Shi also said: "It's too... too dark... The whole... sea is... dark, there are only... two lights... above and below, it's scary."

Ye Yaodong didn't feel anything at first, he had long been accustomed to the darkness, but after hearing what they said, he suddenly felt a little scary.

The darkness was like a giant beast with its mouth open. When they were sailing and working, it felt like it was going to swallow up their entire fishing boat, as if the fishing boat would disappear into the darkness in the next second.

In the past, no matter what happened on the sea, there would always be a Harvest, and the two looked at each other, and they didn't feel so lonely.

"What I said to you two is true. Then you should stay on the wheelhouse until we are ready to collect the nets. People should not be idle. When they are idle, they will always have random thoughts. When there is work to do, they can't think about anything."

"Yes, that's right... As soon as I finished my work, I looked up... looked at the sea, and my heart... was panicked."

When Ye Yaodong was about to say something, he saw that the bow of the boat was suddenly covered with blue waves while sailing.

And it was not just once, but continuously.

The fishing boat was working non-stop, which meant it was sailing non-stop. The waves that rolled up and hit the bow were all blue, and they never changed.

He blurted out, "Red tide!"

"Red tide!"

"The waves... blue..."

Ye Yaodong repeated, "The red tide is coming... It wasn't there just now, but it spread all of a sudden."

Not only the bow, he looked at the side and stern of the boat, and the waves that rolled up while sailing were all blue, no doubt a red tide.

Red tide also has a nice name called blue tears. It is a natural phenomenon. I didn't expect to encounter it here.

I encountered it at home two years ago, but it didn't affect them. Now it's different. He has to drive the boat back.

I don't know if these red tides will spread inside. Now I can only drive back and work in the nearby sea area. Generally, I can't go out. Now there should be red tides outside.

"Red tide... is... what?"

Chen Shi has only been a fisherman for two years. He hasn't encountered it, so he doesn't know much.

"Red tide is a marine phenomenon. The seawater is brown during the day, and at night, when the waves are rolling, there will be blue light. Now the fishing boat is sailing, and the waves will naturally bring out the blue light."

"Highly dense red tide organisms can block the respiratory organs of fish and shellfish, causing the death of a large number of fish and shellfish. These fish or shellfish poisoned by red tide continue to secrete toxins in the seawater, endangering the growth of other marine organisms."

"This thing looks good, but it is not good. We can only temporarily leave this sea area with red tide." Ye Yaodong explained to him.

"Fishing net..."

"Don't collect it immediately, don't worry, open it first, it's just encountered, it's not a big problem."

"Look... It's pretty..." Chen Shi curiously went down the rudder again, leaned against the edge of the boat, and looked at the waves beside the fishing boat. The waves were brought up by the blue light.

Red tides usually occur more frequently in summer, and if they are too severe, they will also affect humans. If people accidentally eat fish, shrimp and shellfish affected by red tides, they may be poisoned. Fortunately, he just encountered it, and there will be no big problem if he goes back.

It's just that he was working while walking back, and he was still dragging the fishing net underneath, so the driving speed was a little slower. Even if he drove back, the waves he brought up were still glowing with blue light. After thinking about it, he just called the two of them. Set up the net.

You can put the net up first and then go back. You can also wait until there is no blue light before taking off the net.

They have received quite well today. I originally planned to trawl the net while walking back tomorrow night, so that I can reach the shore in the evening the day after tomorrow. However, my plan has not kept up with the change. Now I can only go back first. Do you want to go? Trawl the blue light to kill some time.

The darkness, originally filled with suffocating fear, suddenly became a bit weirder because of this piece of blue light.

People were a little curious when it first appeared, but after watching it for a long time, they couldn't help but feel a little hair standing on end. After all, the background in the darkness was black, and the circle of fish boats was now filled with blue light, which looked weird to them.

Especially Ye Yaodong, who was sitting in the cockpit, could see the whole fishing boat. The entire fishing boat was emitting blue light, as if it was held up by this blue light. In the endless dark night, the blue light shone brightly.

After using his rich imagination to think about it, he also shook his body, and then quickly shook his head to get some weird thoughts out of his mind.

Blue tears are also quite common in summer, but they are not common now. The current marine ecology is generally better, and there are less of them, and they are the only boat on the sea. Today's fishermen are more superstitious and can see them in the dark. Seeing this phenomenon will inevitably make people a little scared.

The fishing net was slowly pulled up, and the fishing boat also drove back, but the blue light still existed. It was not until the fishing net was completely pulled up that the blue light became lighter, not so bright, so dense, and became more fragmented, but We still have to go back.

It seems that this wave of blue tears covers a large area, and I don't know if it will continue to spread inside.

Ye Yaodong waited for the contents of the fishing net to be emptied onto the deck. Chen Shi and the other two also pulled up the fishing net that was still in the sea bit by bit and threw it onto the deck.

After it was completely collected, he speeded up and drove inward, moving to the side at the same time to make sure that other sea areas had not been spread.

It's just that until dawn, no matter where his boat sails, it won't be long before the bow of the boat will bring up blue waves.

At first, he would ask people to continue lowering the net, but after only going back and forth twice, he stopped thinking about it and walked back intently.

When Father Ye and the others got up, they stretched and took a morning pee. They wanted to help sort the fish, but they saw a large mess of fishing nets on the deck, without any fish at all. It looked a little strange.

At this time, the sky was only white, the moon had not completely set, and the sun had not fully emerged.

"What's going on? Why are all the fishing nets collected and not working?"

Chen Laoqi explained: "We encountered a red tide at night."

The three people who had just woken up were surprised and shouted in unison: "Red Tide?!"

"When did you encounter red tide?" Father Ye looked at the sea, but felt that the water was very blue, and there was no red tide at all.

"Five or six hours ago, when I discovered the red tide, I originally wanted to go back a bit to see if I could avoid the red tide and continue working, but I found that the seawater always had a blue light, so I collected the fishing net."

"Dong... Brother Dong said that this... wave of red tide should be quite big and spread... quite widely. We originally... planned... to go back directly to the shore..."

"You're going back now?" Father Ye frowned, "In total, I've only been out for a day and a night, and I didn't make much during this day and night..."

"He said that a red tide was coming, and the seafood on this seabed might be affected. He thought of driving back first to see if there were still unaffected fish that he could drag two more nets with."

"This is the original. Don't listen to Chen Shi's words about keeping half of the fishing net. When we drove here, we found that there was no blue light. He just came out and shouted for us to prepare to lower the net. We are now arranging the fishing net and preparing to lower it."

"Then we can change the place and continue salvage." Father Ye felt a little more relieved. It could be avoided anyway, so as long as it didn't affect their fishing, it didn't matter.

After saying that, he also walked up to the helm, intending to replace Ye Yaodong and ask a few more questions about the red tide at night.

"It's okay. During the red tide, at night, the fishing boats happened to be driving and the waves were all blue. I noticed it at first sight, and then walked back. I planned to find a place without red tide to continue fishing, so as not to waste the round trip. Gas money. It just happened to be found now. It doesn’t look like it has been spread yet. It should be able to be trawled.”

"Well, leave it to me then. You can go and rest."

"good."

Anyway, he has found a place without red tide and can salvage it. He can just leave it to his father to look after. He is really sleepy after staying up all night.

He and his father switched places, he went out and his father came in.

Ye Yaodong stood on the helm, stretched hard, and took out the telescope hanging around his neck to take a look, preparing to take a final look at the sea surface before returning to the cabin to sleep.

"etc……"

He frowned and kept staring at the sea ahead.

"Dad, come and take a look. There is a lot of black water over there in front of you. Come and take a look..."

Father Ye was curious after hearing what he said, so he kept the boat moving forward at a constant speed, came out by himself, and took the telescope from him, "What is it?"

When he put on the binoculars and took a look, he was surprised, "What is that? It's black, white, and black, and it seems to be floating over."

Ye Yaodong also squinted his eyes and looked there, but he couldn't see the distance carefully with the naked eye. After all, the genius had just dawned, and the water on the sea didn't look blue. Usually when the weather is good, the blue sky is reflected on the water. Only then will the sea water appear blue.

"I don't know what it is. Wait a minute. I'll ask them not to put down the net yet, but to put it up first to see what's over there, so as not to see another red tide spreading over there, and their efforts will be in vain."

I've been online twice before, but now I'm looking at black, white, and black clouds in front of me. I feel like the red tide may be spreading. I'll wait and see what the situation is.

"It's really unlucky, we just went to sea..." Father Ye complained.

"It's not unlucky. After all, we encountered a school of fish yesterday. There's nothing we can do about this natural phenomenon."

Ye Yaodong is quite tolerant. After all, he is not short of money now. It is not unacceptable to occasionally waste one or two opportunities to go to sea. Yesterday's harvest was quite good. It is not a loss to go out this time. Let's go back now. , although you can’t make much money, you can’t lose either.

He yelled at the bottom. Although the people below were confused, they obeyed and quickly resumed pulling up the net. They just asked one more question.

"Is the red tide spreading again?"

"Not sure, let's take a look first and then put it away. Anyway, put it away first."

It was not completely put into the sea, and it was very simple to put it back up again.

When everyone threw the fishing nets on the deck again, they were suddenly free again. They were bored and looked into the distance like the father and son on the helm.

"Ah...what is that black thing?"

"What's black? It's obviously white but a little bit black..."

"No...not like Crimson Tide..."

"What is that?"

After just waiting for a short while, the things in the distance floated closer and closer, and everyone was surprised when they could see it with the naked eye.

The father and son upstairs watched more carefully.

"No...what is that big guy...that area on the side should be a school of floating fish, right?"

Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong muttering to himself, and his heart felt a little itchy. He reached out to hook his arm, trying to grab the telescope in his hand, but found that it was not high enough.

"What big guy? Show me, show me quickly... don't hog it, show me too..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father helplessly and handed him the telescope.

"The white ones I just saw from a distance are rolling waves, and the black ones look like some big fish. They can't be seen clearly. They can't be identified from a distance. The dense surroundings are also dark, so they should be schools of fish."

Father Ye said with certainty and excitement: "It's a school of fish! The big one is also a big fish, tell them to prepare, I will sail the boat to get close right away."

After saying that, he put the telescope into Ye Yaodong's arms and immediately went to the cockpit to prepare to drive the ship over.

Ye Yaodong had not even taken a second look at the telescope when his father urged him to ask his subordinates to prepare first, and he had no choice but to do so.

"You go and prepare your fishing nets. There is a school of fish in front of you. We are going to sail there now. You should prepare in advance."

"Shoals of fish, no wonder..."

"Let's go get the fishing net..."

Just when they were ready with their fishing nets, they waited until they got close to the fish and cast them away. Ye Yaodong on the helm was surprised again.

"Wait a minute...don't move yet..."

Needless to say, the people below also noticed something was wrong. As the fishing boat approached, they suddenly discovered that the big guy on the sea was a little different.

It seemed to be very ferocious, and it kept churning. The closer it got, the more the churning movement became.

Ye Yaodong took a telescope and looked more carefully. It seemed as if he was right in front of him. The big fish was indeed very ferocious, and it looked different. There was a big saw as wide as a wooden board at the end of its snout!

At this time, it was tumbling on the sea killing all directions, constantly waving the large sawtooth in front of it, and the one it slashed was also a big fish, looking like a shark.

"Dad...wait a minute, let's not get too close first...there's something wrong with the fish school over there..."

After watching the big fish, he felt that the small fish around him seemed different. They seemed to be dead. They were all floating on the sea, drifting with the waves instead of actively moving.

"Ah, what kind of fish is that...why does something like a saw appear..."

"That one seems to be growing on fish..."

"Damn, what kind of fish looks so weird..."

As the distance got closer, Ye Yaodong could now see clearly that it was a big sawfish!

The sawfish is also a type of stingray, and can also be said to be a type of manta ray. Its body is very similar to that of a manta ray, except that its snout is very different. It is shaped like a sawtooth, occupying half of the body. half.

Its long flat saw-tooth edge is inlaid with beak teeth, which is really similar to the blade side of the saw. Its body and back are dark gray in the sea water.

But now there was a red patch of water floating in the sea ahead. It was probably because the shark was killed by him, so the blood spurted out dyed the water surface red, but it was washed away by the sea water after a while.

Ye Yaodong said to his father: "There is a sawfish ahead. It has a long, flat saw-like weapon on its mouth, like a swordfish with a long mouth, but it is flat and wide. "

"The fish floating up around us seemed to be dead and quite large. On the far coastline, the color of the sea water seemed to be quite dark. I wonder if red tide has spread."

He looked in all directions, not only at the wave of fish and sawfish that were very close now, but also at the sea in the distance.

He had some doubts about whether the wave of fish in front of him was affected by the red tide? So they all died, floated to the surface, and were met by them.

If this is the case, they really can't salvage some of the dead people in the previous wave. Since a large number of them have died due to the impact of red tide, the human body will definitely be affected if they eat them.

He is not a person who loses his conscience just to make money.

"What should we do?" Ye's father asked him, slowing down the speed of approaching him. He has now become the backbone.

"Is that red tide in the distance? Can we catch the fish in front? That big fish won't attack the fishing boat. Can we deal with it?"

"Get closer and take a look before deciding whether to catch these fish. The big fish should not be a big problem. When you get closer, drop the fishing net from the boat and entangle it. Even if its mouth can cut the fishing net, it will be entangled in it. Even if you stay, you still have to finish playing.”

In just a moment, he had an idea in his mind.

He also has a gun on the boat. After a few shots, he will naturally lose the ability to resist.

"This fish is alive and large, so there is no need to worry about being affected by red tide."

This fish is so big and rare, and it is rare to catch it.
