Chapter 1171 Change a Fish

Just after dealing with the moray eels and sharks, everyone's attention was attracted by the movement not far away.

There were splashes of water a few dozen meters away from their fishing boat, and several sharks seemed to be moving towards them.

"The smell of blood is here... They are swimming over here..."

"What should we do?"

"Just watch, the eels haven't completely dispersed."

Giant eels are also the natural enemies of sharks. Originally, the stormy night was the time for them to come out to look for food. At this time, it was raining, the sky was gray, and visibility was not high.

"Then just watch them fight?"

"Now it's windy and rough outside, and it's raining. We have nothing to do, and we can't go out. We can only take shelter here. Let's watch first. You move the fish on the deck that have had their maws removed to the fish warehouse first. For a while, they will definitely be in a stalemate over there."

Father Ye also quickly agreed, "Yes, move the fish that have had their maws removed to the fish warehouse first, and move the ones on the deck to me, so I don't have to move them around."

Everyone started to move, only turning their heads from time to time to look at the sea surface that was always splashing.

"This eel is really heavy. I've never seen such a big eel before."

"There are many big fish in the deep sea."

"There are not many boats that can go to the deep sea. These fish can grow bigger and bigger, right? No one can catch them."

"That's right. In the past few years, we could only row a small boat to catch them around the shore."

"Let me lift it and see. It's longer than me!"

Someone curiously grabbed the eel's gills and lifted it up with great effort. He then lifted it above his head with great effort. The tail of the fish was still on the deck.

"Haha, you are not even as tall as a fish."

"Don't laugh at me. You are almost the same. President Ye may be as tall as the fish."

"Hahaha!"

Ye Yaodong was also amused. He was not even as tall as a fish.

Seeing that they all found fun, each holding a fish and lifting it with great effort, he also tried.

"Let me try to see if these eels are taller than me."

He also held the gills of the fish and slowly lifted it up. "Fuck, it's really heavy. This is not a sea eel, it's a big python, thick and long."

"Adong has good waist strength. He has practiced a lot, haha~"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed meaningfully.

Ye Yaodong lifted the fish above his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not as tall as a fish."

"Anyway, the test shows that everyone has good waist strength, haha~"

"Haha~ This fish should be two meters long."

"It's a pity that it's raining, otherwise we can take a photo with our President Ye."

"We can wait until the weather clears up, but I don't know how many days this typhoon will last."

Speaking of this, everyone's faces were not smiling again. They didn't know how many days they would be trapped here. Fortunately, there was no shortage of food and drink on the boat, otherwise it would really be over.

Ye Yaodong also threw the fish in his hand to his father and asked his father to take the fish bladder.

"It's November now. There weren't any big typhoons at this time of year in previous years. The weather is cold, so it's estimated that the impact will only last for two or three days. It's also because we are at sea. If we were on land, there might not be much impact, maybe just a little wind."

"Yeah, it should be over in two or three days at most."

"Check the deck first, it seems that there are several holes pierced by bullets."

The front deck was full of eels, and they couldn't check it. Now that they have been removed, the holes on the deck are still quite obvious.

"It's just the surface of the deck, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Isn't it all iron sheet on the outside?"

"Check it first."

If the bullet only penetrated a local area of ​​the deck and did not damage any key structures or systems, such as the hull, engine, fuel tank, steering gear or water pump, then the problem is not big and it can continue to sail.

The small holes on the deck can be temporarily blocked to prevent water from entering.

Everyone checked and found all the small holes, and then tried to temporarily block them to prevent water from seeping in.

We have to repair it when we return this time.

"It seems that there is no movement over there?"

Once everyone was reminded, they all raised their heads and looked at the sea.

"Have you finished fighting?"

"Is it over?"

"We probably fought almost enough, so we retreated."

"What a pity...it would be great if they were all killed and floated up..."

Ye Yaodong also saw that there were no white splashes on the sea surface, and he felt a little regretful. If a shark dies, it will only "shark fall", which is an extension of the concept of "whale fall".

Because it has no swim bladder, its buoyancy mainly depends on the large amount of fat in the liver and the dynamic lift generated when it keeps swimming. Therefore, when the shark does not rest, it will still swim even when it sleeps.

Once it stops swimming, its average density will be higher than that of seawater, and it will only sink to the bottom, so it will only stop swimming when it dies and then fall into the sea.

On the contrary, those eels will float up when they die, because they have swim bladders and can adjust the amount of gas in their bodies to control buoyancy.

Just as he was thinking this, there were indeed eels washed into the nearby sea surface by the waves, but there were not many, only two, and the others were probably either swallowed or ran away.

Sharks are not as flexible as eels, but if there are more of them, eels will not be able to get the upper hand.

After the sea water sank and floated to a position where the fish could be reached, he asked them to use a hand net to catch it.

At least there are two more.

"Did you count how many fish you got overnight?"

"It seems like more than 40? I didn't count them carefully."

Father Ye was cleaning the fish bladders and said, "Wait until I clean these fish bladders and hang them up to dry, and then I'll know how many there are."

"Oh. Then you should repair the deck first. This is the most important thing. Go to bed after you're done. It's just dawn now, the rain hasn't stopped, and the waves are big outside. We can't go out. I haven't closed my eyes all night. I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to bed first. When you're done, go back and catch up on some sleep."

"Okay, you go to bed first."

"We'll repair it, you go to bed first, you've been up all night, go catch up on some sleep."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sea and the island in front of him. There was nothing unusual, but the waves were a little bigger, and the reefs that kept hitting brought up large pieces of white water and foam, so he went to the cabin.

His clothes were soaked through, so he just took them off, wiped them casually, changed into shorts, looked at Aqiang's leg injury, and fell asleep.

This sleep was particularly good. The fishing boat was swaying like a cradle, and the sound of the waves was surging. He could hear it in his sleep. Gradually, he got used to this rhythm and slept more and more deeply.

When he woke up, there were people on other beds, and everyone's snoring came one after another, mixed with Aqiang's painful groans.

The cabin was dark. He waited until he walked outside to look at his watch. It was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He went to bed at nearly 7 o'clock, and he slept for more than 8 hours.

Although it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside was gloomy and it was still drizzling. Those who didn't know would think it was six or seven o'clock in the evening.

The biggest light was the waves hitting the reefs, bringing up white flowers.

It seemed that another day was about to pass, and I didn't know what would happen tomorrow.

He moved to the compartment and flipped the lid of the pot. He found that there were cold leftover rice and seafood. He boiled a pot of water, threw the leftover rice and seafood into it, heated them up and soaked them, and made do with a bite.

Then he cooked the rice again. He didn't know what time these people went to bed. There was nothing to do now, so he had to eat.

After eating, he had nothing to do, so he had to stand by the door and look at the sea.

Suddenly he thought, I don't know if the Harvest is at sea?

The Harvest had just returned the day before he set off. At that time, they said they would contact him after going out to sea a day or two later, but there was no contact afterwards.

However, it was a typhoon day, and now they were at sea, they would definitely not be able to contact him. He just stood up and let out a sigh of relief. He continued to lean against the door, smoking boredly while looking at the sea, and paying attention to whether the rice in the pot next to him was cooked.

"Alas~ We are really trapped now. I don't know how many days we have to wait. Let's start eating porridge tomorrow to save some rice."

He stood from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. The sky changed from gloomy to dark.

There was movement in the cabin. Some people got up. He looked back and let them go to eat first.

After a while, the others woke up one after another.

Everyone was discussing how many days they had to wait for the wind and waves to pass before they could go back.

After sleeping all day, they didn't need to sleep at night. Everyone was chatting energetically. If the cabin space was not too small and it was raining outside, they would probably have played cards.

Just when everyone was bored, a wave rolled up again, causing everyone to exclaim.

If there were only waves, it wouldn't be strange. He stood by the door and big waves came up from time to time. Everyone saw it after waking up. Some people even went to the deck to check.

What surprised everyone was that the waves just now rolled up another deep-sea giant eel!

"Ah, there is another one..."

"Another big eel..."

"Another one at night..."

"Quick, quick, I just saw one, hurry up and solve it..."

Everyone had just woken up, and they were bored and couldn't sleep. They had endless energy. When they saw another sea eel rushing up, they actively took up tools.

However, seeing the bullet hole on the deck in the morning, Ye Yaodong didn't dare to take the gun again. Everyone could only use the sharp end of the stick to keep stabbing its head, or beat it to death together.

Fortunately, they didn't sleep and found it early, and there were only two, unlike last night, when many came at once, and they were in a hurry and difficult to deal with.

Everyone had enough rest during the whole day today, and there was no need to rest halfway at night. Just take a breath in the free time after killing it and wait for the next wave to come up.

"If there is one, we will catch one. If there are two, we will catch two."

"If we had found it earlier yesterday, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed. Look, it was quite easy to catch it tonight."

"Who said it wasn't? Occasionally, a wave would send one up, and at most three or four."

"Haha, there were too many caught at once, and I used a stick to poke it and let it go back into the sea with the sea water, and let it come up next time."

"Yes, yes, yes, take your time, don't rush. If there are too many, you can't handle it. If you get bitten, it will be too troublesome."

"Yes, there is still one night until dawn, you can catch it slowly."

"Stand firm, there are waves again."

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that it would be so easy to catch it all night today?

Everyone caught and rested until the sky turned pale. Everyone was still energetic, unlike yesterday when they were exhausted and looked like they were about to fall down.

"If last night was like today, it would be great. Now the sky is getting a little bright. We can go to eat and rest if we hold on a little longer."

"President Ye said that if we hold on a little longer, we will be able to eat soon."

"Hahaha~"

We killed so many in one night, and everyone was in high spirits. It was about to end, and they could still joke a little.

"We slept enough during the day yesterday, and we woke up and ate a lot, so these were no big deal at night."

"Yeah, I don't know if there will be more tonight."

"Haha, after dinner, everyone should have a good sleep and get up in the evening to check."

"I don't know if this typhoon is good or bad. Although we are trapped here, we can still make money by fishing."

"I think it's a good thing. At least I can get a good sleep. At most, I was a little scared at the beginning. It will be fine after the typhoon passes."

"Alas, it rained all night again, and I don't know when it will stop. "

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said, "I'll change the medicine for Aqiang before going to sleep. I don't know when I can go back now. At least there are herbs to stop bleeding on the boat. "

"He is the most unlucky one."

"Don't worry, I can recover when I go back, and I can get paid while lying in bed. It's pretty good to think about it."

"Then would you like to be bitten by this fish?"

"Forget it, I'd better work and earn money, so as not to suffer this pain. I can still hear him screaming in pain when I sleep. I guess he really can't sleep."

It usually takes a week to half a month to be affected by a typhoon, depending on the path of the typhoon.

If it's just passing by, then it's better to go faster. There may be no impact on the shore, but the waves on the sea will basically calm down after this time.

He estimated that this was just a small typhoon passing by, and he would probably be trapped here for two or three days, and he didn't have to wait for the waves to calm down completely. As long as it was not as big as it is now, he would go back as soon as possible.

This location should be about three hours away from the city. It was originally the fourth day when it was affected, and he had planned to drive back.

"Take a break. There have been several waves of fish that have not been rolled up, only seawater."

Father Ye sat in the corner and shouted, "Drag a few over here first. There are too many fish in front of me and there is no room. Hurry up and get them to the fish warehouse first, otherwise when the waves come up, don't let the ones I have processed go back into the sea. I lost several fish at night. Fortunately, the fish bladders were taken out."

"If you still have the strength, help deal with the fish on the deck first. If you have consumed too much energy, take a break first."

"It's not that tiring. After talking for a while, everyone will have rested enough. Hurry up and continue working. After you finish, eat."

"I'll go cook first. It will be ready when I'm done."

Now everyone is eating the goods in the fish warehouse. There are still a lot of goods harvested on the day of the wind and waves. Otherwise, they may have to be caught now.

Everyone helped to deal with the giant eels on the deck, and Ye Yaodong also helped to take the fish bladders.

There is strength in numbers, and everything was handled in a short while.

He counted the fish bladders and knew that he had caught 52 more tonight.

He caught 46 last night, and a total of 98, which was considered a good harvest.

Each of these deep-sea giant eels weighed 30 to 40 kilograms, which was more than 3,000 kilograms. One kilogram could be sold for 50 or 60 cents, which was worth about 2,000 yuan.

There were even more expensive fish bladders.

It took only two nights to harvest so much, which was worth it.

He was looking forward to tonight again, hoping that there would be more tonight. After all, it was a long night, and everyone was bored after sleeping enough during the day, so it would be just right to have more people come to give away heads and money.

Others thought so too.

So after eating and drinking, they all went to bed one by one, and when it was time at night, they all got up actively.

Who knew that when they walked onto the deck one by one, they were dumbfounded.

"Mackerel?"

"So many mackerels?"

"All big mackerels?"

"Oh, did we miss them when we were sleeping?"

"So many mackerels were swept up by the waves?"

"What's going on? Hurry up, put them in the cabin first, it's getting dark, don't let another wave of giant eels come."

When Ye Yaodong said this, everyone immediately started to move, fearing that another giant eel would fall from the sky later.

At this time, everyone had no place to stay. If they didn't deal with it quickly, some of them would probably be carried back to the sea by the waves. This is all money.

"Go get a basket, get a basket quickly, and carry it in later."

"These mackerels are big..."

"Hurry up..."

Everyone was in a hurry to move these mackerels that appeared out of thin air on the deck to the cabin first.

These mackerels on the deck were not many, but not few either. Each one weighed about 20 to 30 kilograms. A basket could only hold a few. He estimated that there should be dozens of them.

It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to it when I was sleeping during the day. There's nothing I can do about it. I was tired all night and it's inevitable to rest during the day.

After moving all the mackerels to the cabin, everyone quickly took their tools and waited on the deck.

In the end, there was no fish after waiting for a long time. I was thinking that there was no hope tonight.

"Is it gone?"

"What time is it, Dong?"

"It's been two nights in a row, I guess it's gone?"

He touched the pocket inside the raincoat and looked at it. "It's almost 8 o'clock. If there's nothing, forget it..."

"Wait a little longer. Anyway, I'm free."

"Yes, I've slept enough during the day. Maybe there will be some later? There are so many mackerels swarming up during the day when we are sleeping. It would be a pity if we don't see them later and are carried to the sea by the waves."

At this time, the waves rolled up behind the boat, and a wave brought up a large number of black fish mixed with it and rushed up.

"Here comes the fish..."

"I saw it..."

"It's Mackerel!"

"It's the Mackerel again..."
