Chapter 496 A Natural Trench

Ye Yaodong felt that something was wrong with him again.

Telescope~

He couldn't see anything at a glance, and it was so crowded that he wanted a telescope again.

No wonder his wife always says that women don't like shopping as much as he does, but sometimes, he really is always lacking one or two things.

And in his concept, he doesn’t have the fussy search and shopping mentality of people nowadays. After all, many things will become popular in the future. It’s normal for him to want to buy everything. After all, he lacks everything.

As the fishing boat gradually approached, more jellyfish came into sight, and Father Ye's mouth was so full of laughter that he couldn't close the back of his head.

He looked behind him, only to find that the two boats were still fishing for scattered jellyfish behind him, and they were not coming quickly.

"Your eldest and second brother are so imprinted. No wonder they are a step slower in everything they do. They can only follow you. It's been a long time and they just moved once and then stopped moving." Father Ye said with disgust.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is a large area here. Once they catch enough around, they will naturally move over and there will be no difference. They don't know that there are large areas of jellyfish here. Didn't we just float all the way yesterday and catch them when we see them? "

"Um."

Father Ye saw that he was close enough and there were fishing boats everywhere, so he stopped the boat.

The father and son didn't even sort out the fishing nets. Each of them took a hand-made net and started fishing on the edge of the boat.

"This horse is really heavy. Even if it's big, it also carries a lot of water. Hey, shit... holy shit, hurry up... one of you can help us lift it up together. It's too heavy. If I had known earlier, I would have chosen a smaller one. That’s it.”

It really takes two people to catch the big jellyfish, and it is very difficult to catch them.

As soon as Ye Yaodong caught a jellyfish and threw it on the deck, he saw Ye Yaosheng dragging the fishing net to the stern of the ship, and he quickly stopped.

"Wait, don't lower the net yet, put it there first, and let's fish it out first. When the agreed time for receiving the goods is coming, we will make a good net and drag it back to sort it out. Otherwise, there are so many here, and we won't be able to haul them up in one net. , just drag it back, why not fish it out for a while and then bring it back."

"It makes sense." Father Ye agreed, and gave them the hand net in his hand, "You use this, and I'll get the hook."

He hurriedly walked to the corner on the other side of the boat and took a long bamboo pole with a steel hook and a short one next to it. This was what Ye Yaodong had prepared before to hook the big fish to prevent the big fish from slipping away. , it’s hard to bring it up.

They worked in pairs, lying on the edge of the boat, working together to pull the jellyfish.

The slow-moving turtles behind him also moved towards this side, and then dispersed. Some sank to the bottom of the water and began to hunt separately.

Father Ye walked up to them with a long bamboo pole with a steel hook. After looking at the target, he went straight into the sea water, then lifted it up and quickly lifted the bamboo pole up.

Oh haha! An umbrella-shaped jellyfish, as big as a dining table, was caught on a hook.

Father Ye held the handle and backed away little by little. The veins in his arms bulged. He gritted his teeth and slowly dragged the jellyfish up the side of the ship.

After throwing it on the deck, he wiped off his sweat, scooped up a large cup of tea, poured it in and then said: "I feel that this bamboo pole with a hook is easier to use than the hand-made net. It is very powerful. There is a short one over there." Yes, do you want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaodong directly gave the hand-made net to the others, then went to get a short bamboo pole with a hook, and told them: "If it's too big for one person to catch, you can choose a smaller one." , anyway, it’s densely packed here.”

"Okay, we can figure it out ourselves."

Before Father Ye stretched out the bamboo pole again, he looked back and found that the two boats were still floating far away. There was no sign of movement. If there were any, they could only move forward smoothly. Drifted for a while.

Suddenly he hated the fact that iron could not become steel again, "I still can't bear to come here."

"This shows that they also have goods there, so there is no need to worry. Anyway, just grab what you have."

Ye Yaodong took a short bamboo pole and looked at a jellyfish in front of him. He also imitated Ye's father's fishing action just now and found that it was really easier to use than a hand net.

But when he was dragging it to the side of the boat, a turtle suddenly swam next to his fishing boat, took a sneak attack, took a bite, and then sucked it in like noodles.

This is ridiculous, the meat you can get is still being bitten. My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't.

Ye Yaodong hooked the jellyfish in his hand and gave it a heavy weight. He lifted it up and pressed it down heavily.

The turtle was caught off guard and was really overwhelmed. His head instantly retracted and then sank to the surface of the water.

Only then did he lift up the jellyfish with satisfaction. It was really the son of a turtle and a turtle.

But when he lifted it up, he saw that the underwater landscape seemed a bit unusual?

V shape?

He reached out and used the jellyfish hooked in his hand as a tool. He shook it from side to side and pushed away the jellyfish floating around, revealing a clear scene under the water.

It seems to be really V-shaped.

"Dad...look underneath here..."

Father Ye just happened to hook another jellyfish next to him. He didn't bother to lift it up and turned to look at him, "What is it? What's underneath...hey?"

He also discovered that there seemed to be something unusual underneath. He also followed Ye Yaodong's example and used the jellyfish in his hand as a tool to fiddle with the water a few times.

Ye Yaodong was also playing with it at the same time, saying: "There seems to be a trench underneath."

"Trench?" Father Ye looked at him in surprise, "Do you still know about the trench?"

"What? I can't know anymore?" Ye Yaodong said angrily.

"I've only been working for a few days, but I know a lot."

"Of course, don't underestimate people."

Father Ye rolled his eyes at him and took a careful look under the sea. Others also looked over.

"Is it really a trench?"

"The water here is quite clear, and you can actually see several meters below."

"It's really a natural trench!"

The creation of ocean trenches is thought to be the result of the interaction between oceanic and continental plates.

The denser oceanic plate is inserted into the continental plate at an angle of about 30 degrees.

Father Ye also said: "No wonder there are jellyfish here. This trench should be naturally suitable for jellyfish to reproduce. I don't know how long and deep it is underneath?"

Ye Yaodong shrugged and said nothing. If he and his father were the only two people on the boat, he might go into the water and take a look.

Maybe there are a lot of good things hidden in this V-shaped trench underneath.

Just now when he was about to fish out the jellyfish, he took a look at the turtle he poked, and that's why he discovered that there were trenches underneath.

Otherwise, none of them had paid attention to looking under the water just now, and they had all just looked at the jellyfish floating on the sea.

Unfortunately, with so many people on board, it was impossible for him to get off, and he didn't know when he would have the chance.

Ye Yaosheng asked doubtfully: "There is a trench here, but no one in the surrounding villages has noticed it, and there are so many jellyfish and no fishing boats come here to catch them?"

"Don't you think this island seems a bit out of the way? A small wooden boat won't be able to row here. After all, there are a lot of jellyfish that can be caught ten minutes from the shore. It takes more than half an hour for us to sail here."

"Larger power boats usually go fishing in waters a little further offshore. After all, the farther away, the more resources there are. There is no beach access on this isolated island, and it is surrounded by steep rock walls, making it difficult to get to the island. , generally ships will not dock here."

“And I don’t know how long this trench has been formed, and how long have jellyfish been breeding here?”

After listening to Ye Yaodong's words, they also felt that it made sense.

It's not a very close distance, and it's still on the edge of the sea and the wild forest on land. It's possible that few ships come here.

"Whatever, since we have encountered him, we will take advantage of him."

After speaking, Ye Yaodong pushed up the sleeves on his arms and continued to lie on the edge of the boat to hook the jellyfish.

Others didn't go into details. Anyway, it was their luck to meet him. If others didn't meet him, maybe fate hadn't arrived yet, or maybe the trench was formed not long ago.

Anyway, everyone got back into fishing with enthusiasm. All the jellyfish that had just come up were thrown on the deck, and no one had time to deal with them at the moment.

Fortunately, the ones caught before have been almost processed, and these can be divided up slowly.

Everyone is busy working in full swing, making money, everyone is working hard, and they don’t feel hard at all.

There is no way to make money without hard work.

It was still early in the morning, but they were all sweating. Except for Ye Yaodong, who was wearing long sleeves, they were all wearing vests, and beads of sweat were dripping from their arms.

Ye Yaodong's back was also completely wet. This was all done by manpower. At this time, he couldn't help but regret. He should have called two more people. The more people he had, the more he would catch.

Fortunately, there is an awning above their heads, which can protect them from the sun, otherwise they will have to shed their skin in two days.

Fortunately, his eldest brother and his second brother later followed his example and built an awning on the boat.

When their boat was full of jellyfish and they almost had nowhere to go, the two big boats behind them were finally willing to row over slowly, and they even stopped to fish a few times while rowing, which made Ye's father get angry.

After a while, the boat behind him seemed to realize that the sea surface here was unusual, and he was willing to speed up.

As soon as the boat approached, they opened their mouths and before they started to wonder and ask, Ye's father cursed Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua.

"You are always slow to do anything. We have been staying here for a long time, and you don't know how to drive here. You are still driving slowly behind. There are only a few jellyfish behind, which makes you anxious."

"No, Dad, why are there so many jellyfish here? Isn't that too much? This large area is everywhere..."

"That's why I'm worried about you. I won't be able to come here for a long time. There is a trench underneath, that's why there are so many jellyfish around."

"Huh? Trench?!"

Everyone on both boats was surprised.
