Chapter 178 Long Snake Formation
There were 300 fish hooks, and the fish lined up to be hooked one by one. There were only about thirty or forty empty hooks. Ye Yaodong caught them from beginning to end, and his waist was sore, but the harvest was also considerable.
Not to mention a blue melon seed grouper, ten red moray eels were also caught, as well as some black snapper weighing one or two kilograms, perch, yellowtail fish, horsetail fish, and more of them were really squid, as he expected. .
Even if one person has to sail the boat, he also has to reel in the line and re-hook the bait and put it down. It seems too busy and inefficient.
I glanced at Azheng and Xiaoxiao who were working in the distance. They were too far away to see clearly, but I could also see that one of them was sailing the boat and the other was setting off the line, and they were working very calmly.
Shaking his head, there was no comparison. They wanted to share it between two people. He had to keep it all by himself. He could just hire another person when he got a bigger boat.
After finishing the line, he immediately connected the two baskets of trunk lines on the ship to the end of the main line in the sea, connected them with the buoy rope and the stone sinking rope, and put them into the sea until the two baskets of trunk lines he took out to sea today were put in. After sea miles, the tail anchor and buoy are finally thrown out.
An additional 200 hooks were added, and now a total of 500 were put into the sea. For the first 300 hooks, he still used shrimps as bait. For the next 200 hooks, he used sea centipedes as bait. Some of them were too long. , he took scissors and cut it into sections before hanging them up.
I heard that this sea centipede is also a universal fishing bait like a shrimp. I will wait and see if there is anything new.
After finishing all the work, he clapped his hands, stood up straight, twisted his waist, and thought about whether he could get some sea snakes, seahorses, etc. next time to make medicinal wine. He used it and brewed some for his father. Anyway, his father also likes to drink. It can also nourish the body and eliminate rheumatism. His father has rheumatism.
By the way, he picked up another bucket. His bucket was relatively tall. One bucket weighed more than 30 kilograms. Both buckets were full. Several fish weighing more than 5-6 kilograms were also thrown on the boat.
Today's harvest will definitely exceed yesterday's. The blue melon-seeded grouper and a dozen large red moray eels alone are worth dozens of dollars.
This is just the beginning!
Ye Yaodong lay down leisurely and covered his face with his hat. He was not going to fish anymore. There were so many fish hooks in the sea, so there was no need to compete with him for the goods.
The waves of the sea swayed, and the boat swayed with it, like a natural rocking chair, lulling people to sleep. An autumn rain, a cold, and gusts of sea breeze blew, bringing an icy chill. He crossed his hands directly on his chest forward.
When going out to sea today, Lin Xiuqing called him specifically and asked him to put on a cotton-padded jacket. The sea was windy and it rained yesterday. It was indeed colder today, so wearing a cotton-padded jacket was indeed warm.
He squinted his eyes slightly. The dim light, the swaying water surface, and the sound of fish flapping their tails could be heard from time to time in the water. The leisurely relaxation made his whole spirit relax. He slowly closed his eyes, planning to rest for a while before getting up and reeling in the line.
I don't know how long it took, but a scream suddenly came from his ears, which scared him so much that he sat up immediately.
"Dongzi, Dongzi?"
"Damn it, what's your name? I'm sleeping soundly!" Ye Yaodong shouted to them dejectedly as he got out of bed.
"Made, are you still alive? I thought you were dead, so I quickly asked Azheng's boat to come over and have a look." Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily.
….
"Isn't it true that all the threads have been put down and there's nothing to do? Just lie down and take a nap if you're bored?"
"We watched the boat float from a distance and saw no one on the boat. We thought something happened to you and you fell into the sea."
"I'm so lucky, what can happen to me? If I fall into the sea, I can swim up. How can someone drown in such a shallow sea? It's not like I can't swim."
"Okay, okay, we are just worried. We have to go back and collect the fishhook."
"Are you going to close it so soon?" Ye Yaodong rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time on his hand, and stood up immediately. He had actually slept for more than an hour.
"Young man, our Dong brother has become rich? He actually wears a watch?" Xiao Xiao's sharp eyes saw him rolling up his sleeves, and he shouted in surprise.
"It's all for nothing. You can't envy the wealth I have."
Ah Zheng also became interested now, "It's free? How come it's free? Let the brothers know if you tell me, and see if you can get one for free too?"
"It won't work if you say it. Go back and collect your hooks. I have to collect the thread too. I overslept."
"Oh no, I won't share anything about getting rich."
"This cannot be shared. If you can share it, I will definitely tell you."
If you use people's money to eliminate disasters and take away other people's things, you must keep the matter under control, at least not let it out from him.
Ye Yaodong said as he rowed the boat towards the buoy at the front where the line was first retrieved, but he saw the waves surging under the sea not far ahead.
"What's in the water over there?"
"What?"
Azheng Xiaoxiao originally planned to forget about it if he didn't say anything, and was about to row the boat back and start to reel in the line. When he heard what he said, he stopped curiously and looked in the direction of his finger.
"Huh? What's under the water?"
"They look like long and thin things? Are they swarms of eels?"
Ye Yaodong nodded with bright eyes, "It looks very similar, so long. I threw the hook into the sea last night. When I reeled in the line before, I caught a dozen large red moray eels, weighing seven or eight pounds to more than ten pounds. It’s very gratifying.”
The two of them were also pleasantly surprised when they heard this, "So good? Then we won't close the line today."
"Next time you go to sea, you must bring a hand-thrown net. Forget it if you didn't bring it yesterday, and I didn't bring it today." Azheng was a little regretful. Who would have thought that he would encounter a school of eels again.
Ye Yaodong was also thinking in his mind that he had to prepare a hand-thrown net and put it on the boat for backup. Otherwise, he would be very angry if he encountered a good fish but couldn't catch it. Today was not bad. The fish were near his hook. Why? You can also gain a little bit.
Suddenly, the water on the sea roiled, and a slender living creature stretched out its head and emerged from the water. Before they knew what it was, the sea eagle that had been flying on the sea quickly swooped down from the sky. , pick it up.
Only then did the three of them see clearly what the living creature was. Exclaimed again and again...
"Hiss~"
"Fuck you, this is a sea snake. That's not a moray eel, it's a group of sea snakes. I'm getting goosebumps..."
"This is a green-ringed sea snake. Did you think it was a group of moray eels?"
Ye Yaodong also tightened his eyes and looked at the sea eagle flying away. It also held an olive-colored green-ringed sea snake in its mouth with black rings on its body.
….
"Fortunately, we didn't bring fishing nets to drag them up..."
He shuddered when he thought about it. If a whole net of green-ringed sea snakes were still alive and pulled onto a fishing boat...
Who can bear this? This is killing them!
The other two people couldn't help but rejoice, "Yes, if there are only two of them, we can still catch them. Wouldn't it be fatal if these people come online?"
At this time, several green-ringed sea snake heads emerged from the sea one after another. The sea eagles and seabirds that were eyeing the sea snakes quickly bent down to hunt again, and none of them missed the target.
The green-ringed sea snakes in mid-air struggled to curl up their entire body. Although they were ferocious, once they left the water, they had no offensive ability in mid-air and were almost completely unable to defend themselves. They could only become the meal of these seabirds. .
Ye Yaodong guessed that they stretched out their heads to inhale, so they were accidentally hunted.
At this time, the sea surface suddenly boiled again. A group of green-ringed sea snakes slowly floated on the water, forming a long snake formation stretching for tens of meters visible to the naked eye. The seabirds in mid-air flew excitedly one after another. Prey down.
"Hiss~"
so much……
The three of them took a breath and stared with pale faces at the dense green-ringed sea snakes on the water in front of them. They were gathering overwhelmingly. The ships working in the sea in the distance were also restless and swaying irregularly. There is a group of Qinghuanhai snakes, which are scared and moving away.
Who is not afraid of snakes?
It stretches so far, not just tens of meters, but hundreds or thousands of meters. How many green-ringed sea snakes must there be down there?
There were more and more seabirds on the sea, flying from a distance. The three of them were so frightened that they quickly drove the boat farther away from their snake array and the hunting of seabirds. How could they think about harvesting them at this moment? Wire.
At this time, all ships on the sea, regardless of whether they had encountered the Green-ringed Sea Snake or not, stopped working. They were all attracted by the seabirds in the air. Those who were far away rowed over to watch. When they saw the Green-ringed Sea Snake on the sea, they all stopped. I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Ye Yaodong and little Azheng's boat were close together, watching from a distance.
Many times, these marine phenomena are not what you want to see, and they are rare to see for decades.
Ah Zheng stretched his neck and swallowed hard, "Do sea snakes also need to party?"
"Don't they live in groups? They also need to communicate emotionally, right?"
"Snakes are cold-blooded animals, right? Do sea snakes have feelings? Are they setting up a dragon gate array?"
Ye Yaodong listened to the two idiots talking nonsense with his head covered with black lines, "Their reproductive season has arrived, so they will gather together for mating and reproduction."
"Such?"
"A bunch of ***, isn't this convenient for seabirds to kill?"
"The phenomenon of marine life is not something we can understand. Anyway, we know that it is their breeding season, so there is a large-scale formation of green sea snakes."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Dongzi, are you really a know-it-all about the sea?"
"Of course! I may not know everything or understand everything, but I definitely know more than you do."
"How long do they stay like this?"
"Not sure. They should disperse in an hour or two. If they stay at the sea level for a while longer, their group will be reduced by dozens. There are more and more seabirds flying in the distance."
Not only seabirds, but also more and more ships came to the sea after hearing the news. They all heard the noise and came to watch the excitement.
It is not necessarily word of mouth from ships at sea. Fishermen all know that there are usually schools of fish wherever seabirds gather and hover. Today, the ships on the sea are completely attracted by seabirds.
Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
