Chapter 1169 Deep Sea Giant Eel

Everyone was busy sorting out all the fish scattered on the deck and carrying it to the cabin.

Fortunately, they had sold all the fish they had accumulated in the past few days the day before, and also replenished a lot of ice and oil. Now the cabin only had the harvest from last night and today's whole day, and it could still be stored.

After everyone finished their work, they took turns going to the cabin to wipe down and change clothes. After all, the space inside was limited and could only accommodate one person walking back and forth. Some people also went to the utility room.

"It looks like I'll have a good sleep tonight."

"You have such a big heart. The wind, waves and rain outside are so strong that the ship can only find an island to dock at random. How can you still have a good sleep?"

"I can't stop the wind and waves even if I don't sleep. What's more, it looks quite safe here. It's leeward and the fishing boats don't rock as much outside. It looks very safe."

"It's really exciting at night. It rains all the time. There were no such big waves before it started raining."

“You can’t predict the weather at sea, and sometimes you’ll be very unlucky.”

"Go to bed early. It's so dark outside that you can't see your fingers, and it's windy and rainy. Only the cabin can shelter you from the wind and rain. We'll see what happens after daylight. Anyway, there is a shelter at night, and it's good to be able to sleep a little." ”

"What A Dong said is that this kind of bad weather is still at sea. It's good now. At least the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet. You have to sleep if you can't sleep. You can't sit until dawn."

"Fortunately, we are not afraid of running out of food on the boat. We are not afraid of running out of water even if it rains outside. We are not afraid of running out of water even if we float here for a few days. We can wait for the typhoon to pass."

Everyone agrees with this statement. What we are most afraid of is not having anything to eat or drink.

"I'm going to go pee."

"I'll go too. I was so nervous that I couldn't even remember whether I had peed or not if you didn't tell me."

"Hahaha, then everyone is scared to pee, why are you still peeing?"

"That weakling is so useless..."

"Damn... wasn't I just joking?"

"I am coming too……"

Ye Yaodong ignored the bickering behind him, put on his raincoat and went out. He stood at the door of the cabin and peed directly. Anyway, if the rain hit, he would rush directly into the sea, and he could go back immediately after urinating.

The waves behind him were beating and the fishing boat was swaying. In order to save effort, he would lean against the cabin behind him.

The people behind him also imitated him and stood next to him to urinate.

Just as he finished urinating and put it away, a huge black shadow was hit by the waves from the stern and rushed onto the deck. Unprepared, the sharp teeth bit directly into the leg of the boatman next to him, causing a scream. Shocking the sky.

The other guy who was still peeing was shocked.

Ye Yaodong was about to turn around and go in, but he almost lost his balance when he heard the screams.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

It was dark all around, because they were planning to go out to pee, so they stood next to the door of the cabin. After peeing, they turned around and went in. Therefore, no one deliberately used a flashlight, and they did not see the waves rushing up. of black shadow.

"What's wrong?"

The other person was also so panicked that he quickly stabilized his body and took two steps toward the cabin door.

Ye Yaodong was standing at the door of the cabin, which was only big enough for one person to enter and exit. He was squeezed and took two steps back.

"Don't panic, get the flashlight first."

"Ah! Something bit me! It hurts so much, my leg is about to be broken..."

The people in the cabin also heard the screams outside, and they all got out of their beds quickly. The light of the flashlight also illuminated the small cabin, and the light came out.

Everyone was crowded in the narrow cabin passage. Some people blocked the door and could not get out. The people inside did not know the situation. Only Ye Yaodong and another boatman stood at the door and saw the fangs and sharp points on Aqiang's feet. fish head.

"Is it an eel?"

"Sea wolf or eel?"

"It's a deep-sea giant eel, not a sea wolf," Ye Yaodong affirmed, "Give me the flashlight."

"You two, don't block the door. Let us go out."

Ye Yaodong took a flashlight handed out from inside and hurriedly walked towards the bow of the ship in the rain to find the stick.

All the people behind also ran out and saw Aqiang's bloody legs.

"Holy shit, such a big eel!"

"Hold on, hold on, he can't even stand still."

"First use a stick to beat this fish to death. It's so big."

"Be careful and don't get too close. This fish is too big and its teeth are too powerful."

A bunch of flashlights were shining on the giant eel in the deep sea. I saw that the fangs on the eel's mouth were biting the human leg tightly, and the fish tail behind it was still twisting, as if it was exerting force.

The blood stains that kept seeping out were washed away by the rain, and there were constant screams. Those who watched were frightened and couldn't help but retreat.

"Where did such a big eel come from?"

"The body is too thick, even thicker than my thighs, and the tail is too long, right?"

"Where's the stick? Didn't Dongzi go look for the stick?"

Father Ye asked while shining a flashlight towards the bow of the ship. He saw Ye Yaodong seeming to be dodging and dancing with a stick in his hand.

"Dongzi? You two go and have a look."

Ye Yaodong didn't care to speak. The wind, rain, and waves were heavy in his ears, and his vision was affected. He didn't even think about how these giant deep-sea eels got on the boat. He could only avoid the other giant deep-sea eels on the deck.

Because they only came out to pee temporarily, they only wore slippers and no rain boots at all.

In fact, everyone's shoes were very smelly. They didn't plan to put them on again after taking a shower. If the slippers got wet, they just wiped their feet casually.

Moreover, his raincoat was made of plastic and didn't have a few buttons to make it easier to urinate. As long as he was entangled by these giant eels, a big hole would be chewed out of his leg.

That Aqiang just came out wearing slippers, and he only had his raincoat on his body, so it was so easy for the eel to bite his leg.

As he was avoiding it, he saw a few more flashlight lights on the side. The man who rushed over quickly shouted: "Don't come over here. There are several giant eels here. You all should put on your rain boots first."

At least the rubber rain boots can be worn up to the calf, and they can block a small part of the leg, making it less likely to be bitten by the giant eel.

After saying that, he also dodged in their direction. These eels will be dealt with later, and rescuing people must be dealt with urgently. The biting one must be dealt with first.

The fishing boats were rocked by the waves, which also affected people's walking.

Although this island and mountain col is considered a natural haven and is protected from the wind, heavy rains and waves still affect it, causing fishing boats to sway and making it difficult for people to walk.

He staggered back to the aisle in front of the cabin, and took out one of the two sticks in his hand.

"You guys step back to the side and give way. Don't get too close to this fish. If you don't have rain boots on, go back to the cabin and put on rain boots first. Wear your raincoat better. There are still seven or eight fish on the deck. We almost got there just after we stepped out. Was bitten."

He was afraid that if he hit hard, the fish would go crazy and bite others after letting go. He had to put on his equipment in advance to fight these fish.

These fish are ferocious, but if you dodge in time, you can kill them with a stick.

After everyone moved aside or went into the cabin to put on rain boots, he hit the eel with a stick.

"Be patient, let go immediately..."

He just hit hard, and the giant eel went crazy, twisted its body even more, and the teeth in its mouth became loose. He kept hitting it, and after just a few hits, the giant eel relaxed and turned around to attack him.

The vitality of eels is extremely tenacious, not to mention that this one is a giant eel in the deep sea and will not die so easily.

In the small passage, the giant eel kept running around and attacking. Two sticks also cooperated in the narrow passage, and finally took the opportunity to press it against the cabin, with its head clamped between the two sticks.

Even so, it was still twisting and struggling to escape. Its open mouth was full of fangs, and it could swallow an adult's head.

Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi pressed the stick hard to prevent it from escaping.

"Put something on its head and knock it out!"

Everyone was crowded at the door of the cabin looking for something hard, but Father Ye took a kitchen knife and slapped the giant eel on the head hard with the back of the knife.

After patting it for dozens of times, I saw that its body softened and stopped moving.

Just in case, they didn't let go, and Father Ye kept patting it, patting it a few more times to be safer. The eel's vitality was too tenacious.

"Dad, disembowel it and take out the isinglass first, so that it won't wake up later and still move. I'll go with them to deal with the other giant eels on the front deck. There are several more there. You can pick them up by the way. Go in and take a look at Aqiang's legs," Ye Yaodong shouted despite the pouring rain.

"Okay, I'll take care of it here, you go deal with the other giant eels, be careful not to get bitten."

"I'm going to change into rain boots first, and you guys can deal with them first. I just saw about seven or eight of them on the deck."

Aqiang had already been helped into the cabin when the giant eel let go.

When he went in to change into rain boots, he also took a look at his injured leg. When he shined a flashlight, he found that the bones were deep enough. There was no rain to wash away the blood at the moment, and half of his leg was covered in blood. He had to stop the bleeding first.

Fortunately, the bite was on the leg. If it had bitten Jill, she would have been cut into two pieces.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his crotch.

Fortunately, when he was peeing, the giant eel didn't come over and attack him.

He shuddered, looked at Aqiang and comforted: "You have to be patient for now, they are going to deal with the other giant eels. I'm going to boil some hot water first, and then I'll use the hot water to wipe the wound first. There's still a hemostat on board." of herbs.”

"It's very windy and rainy outside, and the fishing boats can't go back. We have to wait until tomorrow. If we can leave, we will return immediately. I will definitely be responsible for your medical expenses, and you will still be paid during your recovery. You have to bear with it for now."

Aqiang had a look of pain on his face and kept wailing in his mouth. He was in so much pain that he could only nod his head and couldn't speak at all.

There was no medicine on the fishing boat, only the hemostatic herbs and bandages used by rural people. Now at sea, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to tell him to endure it.

After going out, he went to the compartment to boil water and dug out the herbs that he had put on the boat for emergencies.

Anything is likely to happen at sea. Anyway, his fishing boat is big enough, and he will prepare several days' worth of food. Of course, he also has simple hemostatic herbs.

After doing this, the water could not be boiled for a while, so he told Father Ye who was getting fish maw.

"Dad, I have boiled water in the pot and put the herbs on the side. After you finish taking the isinglass, if the water boils, rub the wound on Aqiang's leg, burn the herbs and chop them I need to put a dressing on him to stop the bleeding. I saw that the bloody hole in his leg was so big that the flesh was almost bitten off. It was scary to see a large piece of it, and the white bones were all bloody."

"So serious? Okay, I'll deal with it quickly. When I'm done, the water should be turned on. You go to the front to help first."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong walked to the deck with a stick in his hand, waving the flashlight everywhere. Everyone was fighting with the giant eels on the ground.

Those eels were estimated to be two meters long, and their bodies were as long as an adult's thigh. Their big mouths could really swallow a human head directly.

It was not so fast or easy for four people to kill seven or eight eels on the deck. Now the heavy rain was still falling, which also affected everyone's vision and actions.

He joined the battle according to the situation.

What they didn't expect was that they had just knocked out two eels, and as the waves rolled, several more giant eels were washed up from the stern by the sea water.

Originally, everyone was fighting with the remaining giant eels on the deck, and they were almost unable to stand due to the shaking of the ship. They only had time to grab something nearby to stabilize their bodies.

A white wave hit higher than a person, attracting everyone's attention.

Several long black figures were seen in the white waves. Just as everyone was surprised, the black figures were sent to the rear deck with a large wave. Because of the shaking of the ship, some of them slid to the middle deck.

More people slid to the rear deck as the waves receded, and fell into the sea, leaving only a pile of white foam.

Everyone cursed instantly.

Ye's father, standing in the aisle, also screamed and dodged quickly.

"Damn, the ones on the boat haven't been dealt with yet, and there are several more."

"Fuck, such a big giant eel is not easy to kill, it slides fast and can move."

"Where did so many big eels come from..."

Complaints are complaints, but the problem still needs to be solved.

Ye Yaodong also cursed in his heart. Although this giant eel is valuable, it is more convenient to drag it up with a trawl net. All of them are running around on his plywood. What's going on?

If the trawl net is used to catch it, because the cargo inside used to bear several thousand kilograms, even if it is tenacious, it can be crushed to death.

How can we kill them one by one now? There are only 5 people in total, and the deck is full of moving giant eels. A bite from it is terrible.

He wanted to go to the cockpit to get a gun, but the fish was too flexible and slippery. It could move quickly even without water on the deck. Now it was raining heavily and the waves were big. It was difficult for people to stand steadily, and it was difficult to aim and kill it.

After thinking about it, he gave up and could only shout to everyone: "Let's work together to solve them one by one. Two people in a group, you use a stick to watch the head of a fish and press it down with the stick, and the other person helps to watch the surroundings vigilantly, so as not to be attacked by other eels when suppressing a fish. I'll go get the gun, as long as you can control the fish, I will shoot it."

"Okay, okay."

There are too many eels on the deck now, more than a dozen two-meter-long, looking densely packed, it is easy to be bitten if you are not careful. If no one helps, how can one person deal with the surroundings.

As soon as you control one, you will be attacked and bitten by other eels.

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he took the stick in his hand and picked up the giant eels that blocked the way and threw them to the side.

He was afraid that if he could take care of the front, he would not be able to take care of the back, so he moved along the side of the ship, and then walked to the side stairs along the cabin, and then successfully went up to the wheelhouse and entered the cockpit to get the gun.

With the gun, everyone was confident and had a method to cooperate.

Now they didn't have to kill the giant eel. As long as they could hold the fish head with a stick, even if it was only for a few seconds, they could call Ye Yaodong over and shoot it. It would die in a short while.

Everyone worked in pairs. After two people subdued a fish head, one person let go, looked around vigilantly, helped pick up the attacking eels, and called Ye Yaodong to shoot.

After everyone successfully killed the giant eels one by one, the waves continued to send fresh giant eels up, endlessly.

Often, they had just killed two or three, and the next wave sent a few more. Although some of them slipped down with the help of the shaking of the fishing boat, the number on the deck did not decrease at all.

It was easy to slide from the aisle to the middle deck, but it was not so easy to slide from the deck to the stern, because there was a cabin at the stern to block the giant eels from sliding to the stern and falling into the sea.

Everyone was tired and couldn't help complaining.

"What's going on? Why are there so many? We can't catch them all..."

"Save some energy..."

"I can't bear it anymore. My hands are sore. We can't catch them all..."

"There are more and more. There is no place to stand. I don't know which ones are alive and which ones are dead."

Ye's father suddenly said in the corner: "I'm doing it. I'm dragging the dead ones into the cargo hold one by one."

"There are still so many... Why are there so many fish today? I didn't see them in the past few days, and I didn't drag them with the trawl net."

Ye Yaodong knew a little, but he didn't have time to talk. He was squinting through the rain curtain, avoiding the attacks of the giant eels on the ground, and went to everyone's side and shot the fish that were restrained.

The night of wind and rain is the time when deep-sea giant eels look for food. They like to appear and look for food at such nights the most.

They did not appear for no reason.

When he was running around, he saw his father dragging eels beside him. He couldn't help but said, "Be careful, Dad. Some of them are still alive. Don't drag them casually."

"I was careful. I had a hand net in my hand. I used it to scoop them over. I only dragged the ones that could reach my feet into the cargo hold."

"Then be careful. These are all hit by the waves at the back and then slid to the front."

"I'm almost out of strength..."

"Me too. It's been two or three hours, right?"

"Do you want to rest in the cabin?"

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was very physically demanding to subdue these eels in the rain continuously and intensively. Hearing that everyone was exhausted, he also said, "Everyone is tired, Or we can go back to the cabin to rest for a while, as these fish seem endless to kill. "

"Let's go back to the cabin to rest for a while, and then come out to kill these fish after we have rested enough."

"That's fine, we have been fighting for at least two hours, and we should have killed quite a few."

"Then go back to the cabin to rest for a while before coming out, be careful not to be attacked, and walk backwards."

He shouted again to remind: "You should also check the aisle at the back, which is all washed up by the waves from the rear deck."

"The rear deck is not as high as the bow, and a wave can wash up a bunch of sea water and fish at random."

Everyone walked and retreated until they all squeezed into the cabin, and the small space was suddenly full, and they couldn't even turn around.

The space was originally very small, and could only accommodate one person passing sideways. In the past, when everyone returned to the cabin, they would return to their beds, so that the space in the aisle could be freed up.

Now everyone was soaked. Those wearing raincoats and straw raincoats wore raincoats. It was impossible for them to climb onto the bed, so they could only squeeze in here.

Ye Yaodong saw that it was too crowded. He was tall, so he had to shrink his head to get in. Now everyone was wet and squeezed together, which was even more uncomfortable. He had to go out.

"It's too crowded. I'll go to the compartment. You can take advantage of the fact that the waves haven't hit yet. Let two people come out first, and let the people inside take off their clothes and pants first, wipe them off and climb onto the boat first."

"That's fine."

He went out and took shelter in the compartment where rice was cooked, but he couldn't get in either.

The space in the compartment was also very small, full of miscellaneous items. There were giant eels under his feet. Father Ye was squatting on the ground to get the fish glue from a super giant eel.

He could only stand at the door, trying not to step on the fish. Only his head was exposed to the rain, while his shoulders and body were still exposed to the rain. He had to hold his hands on the crack of the door to avoid being thrown by the waves and losing his balance.

Worried that the eels on the deck would slide into the aisle, he still shone his flashlight forward, ready to dodge at any time.

"How many have you killed?"

"No, I'll just take the fish bladder first. I'll sell this fish, why kill it?"

"That's what I mean, how many fish bladders did you take?"

"Seven or eight?" Father Ye turned his head and looked at the basin filled with clean water beside him, "Just taking the fish bladder is much easier than killing a fish. This fish is too big, and the fish bladder is almost half the length of my arm after taking it out."

"Don't break it."

"I know, it's bulging when it's taken out."

Although this eel glue is not as good as the top ten fish glue, this is a deep-sea giant eel, not an ordinary eel. Just looking at the head, the fish glue taken out is not small.

If it's not famous, it's big.

Fish glue with a large head and good appearance is also very valuable.

This whole fish is not as valuable as a piece of fish glue.

In fact, it doesn't matter if these deep-sea giant eels are left on the deck, as long as they don't swim into the cabin to attack them.

With the shaking of the fishing boat and the constant washing of the waves, these fish may be slowly brought back to the sea.

It's just that when it attacked people at the beginning, everyone's first reaction was to get rid of them, and they could also earn more money.

The most important thing is to earn more money.

He thought about it, raised his hand and looked at his watch again. It was past 11 o'clock, and they really fought for two hours. There were still more than 5 hours before dawn.

It was impossible to ignore the fish on the deck and let everyone sleep until dawn.

Originally, working at sea requires day and night fishing and not being prepared to rest on time.

"I'll tell them to let them sleep for two hours first, and then get up and check later. If there are still..."

Suddenly a huge wave rolled, Ye Yaodong turned his head and took a look, and hurriedly squeezed in.

Another wave of waves washed onto the rear deck, and the fishing boat shook violently. As the fishing boat shook, the sea water drove many giant eels to rush up and rushed to the front.

But after shaking for a while, it brought another wave of residual tide back to the rear deck, and also brought several giant eels back to the sea.

I just don’t know whether the giant eels brought back to the sea are dead or alive. If they are dead, it would be a pity. They were killed with great difficulty before.

Father Ye also took a look outside, "It seems that the wind and rain will not stop at night."

"It's always like this on typhoon days. The wind and rain at night are often stronger than during the day."

After saying that, he went back to the cabin and talked to the others while the wave just passed, asking them to take the time to rest first, and he would come to call them up two hours later.

By the way, he also went in to care about the injured Aqiang, who was still lying in the cabin and wailing.

The pants had been taken off and the legs were wrapped in gauze, which was still oozing a lot of blood. The blood mixed with the dark green herbs in the middle looked particularly miserable.

He could only try to comfort and assure her, and nothing else could help or relieve the pain.

Everything could only wait until dawn.

He went out and said to his father: "You go in and rest, I'll take care of these few."

"No, I'll do it."

"You're old, go to sleep. It doesn't matter if I stay up all night. It's better not to sleep for two hours. At least someone should stay awake to watch, so as not to cause any accidents at night."

Father Ye thought about it and felt that it made sense. They couldn't let everyone on the boat go to sleep. In this weather, they still had to be awake. Who knows if there will be any big fish coming up.

"Okay then."

Ye Yaodong avoided the door and let his father come out first, and then went in.

There were already a lot of fish bladders soaked in the basin beside.

After the fish maw is taken out, it must be soaked in water immediately, so that the blood stains on the fish maw can be cleaned later. There is also a layer of membrane and fish oil on the fish maw, which must also be cleaned, otherwise the fish maw will have a strong fishy smell and will not last long.

He took the scissors and continued to take the fish maw from his father, starting 20 centimeters below the eel head.

The fish maw is connected to the bones in the fish body and is filled with gas. If you want to make a cylindrical fish maw, you must ensure that the fish maw is not deflated.

After cutting the fish belly, it is easy to take out one end of the fish maw with your fingers.

He was particularly careful. The last time he took the hair fish maw, it was perfect, and the hair fish maw that was dried out was also top-notch.
