Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 179 Long Snake Formation

There were 300 hooks, one fish lined up to take the bait, and there were only thirty or forty empty hooks. Ye Yaodong was sore from the beginning to the end, but the harvest was also considerable.

Not to mention one blue melon seed grouper, ten red moray eels were also caught, and some black sea bream weighing one or two catties, perch, yellow croaker, mackerel, and many of them were really squid, as he expected. .

It is too busy and inefficient if one person wants to sail the boat, but also needs to take up the line and put down the bait again.

I glanced at Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao who were working in the distance. They were too far away to see clearly, but it could be seen that the two of them were sailing the boat and laying out the line, and they worked very calmly.

Shaking his head, it can't be compared, they have to share it between two people, and he eats it all by himself. When the boat is changed to a bigger one, he can hire another person.

After taking up the line, he then took the two baskets of main line on the boat to connect to the end of the main line in the sea, and connected the buoy rope and sinker rope together and threw them into the sea until he put the two baskets of main line that he took out to sea today into the sea. After nautical miles, finally throw out the tail anchor and buoy.

For the additional 200 hooks, a total of 500 hooks have been put in the sea now. For the first 300 hooks, he still hangs shrimps as bait, and for the last 200 hooks, he hangs sea centipedes as bait, and some of them are too long. , he took scissors and cut into sections and hung them up.

I heard that this sea centipede is also a universal bait like a shrimp. Wait a while to see if there is anything new.

After finishing all the work, he clapped his hands, stood up straight, twisted his waist, thinking about whether he could get some sea snakes, seahorses, etc. next time, and use them to make medicinal wine. It is for his father to make some by the way, anyway, his father also likes to drink, and it can nourish the body and eliminate rheumatism. His father has rheumatism.

By the way, he picked up the water bucket. His bucket was relatively tall. It felt like one bucket weighed more than 30 catties. Both buckets were full, and several fish with a size of more than 5-6 catties were thrown on the boat.

Today's harvest will definitely exceed yesterday's. The light blue melon seed grouper and a dozen big red moray eels are worth tens of dollars.

This is just the beginning!
Ye Yaodong lay down leisurely, covered his face with a hat, and didn't plan to fish anymore, there were so many fishhooks in the sea, there was no need to compete with him.

The sea waves are undulating and swimming, and the boat is also shaking, like a natural rocking chair that lulls people to sleep. An autumn rain, a cold, and gusts of sea breeze blowing, with a cold chill, he directly crossed his hands and hugged his chest forward.

When going out to sea today, Lin Xiuqing specially called him to stop and asked him to put on a padded jacket. It was windy at sea, and it rained again yesterday, so it was indeed colder today, so wearing a padded jacket was indeed warm.

He squinted his eyes slightly, the dim light, the swaying water surface, and the sound of fish wagging their tails in the water from time to time. The leisure made his whole spirit relax. He slowly closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while and then get up and take up the line.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden exclamation in his ear, which made him sit up immediately in fright.

"Dongzi, Dongzi?"

"Damn, what's your name? I'm sleeping soundly!" Ye Yaodong shouted to them depressed after getting up.

"Ma De, are you still alive? I thought you were gone, so I quickly asked Ah Zheng to row over to have a look." Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily.

"Isn't the thread all put away, there's nothing to do, just lie down and sleep when you're idle and bored?"

"We saw the boat floating still from a distance, and we didn't see anyone on board. We thought something happened to you and you fell into the sea."

"I'm lucky and fateful, what can happen to me? If I fall into the sea, I can swim up, and I can still drown people in this shallow sea? It's not that I can't swim."

"Okay, it's because we are worrying, we have to go back to collect the hooks."

"It's going to be collected so soon?" Ye Yaodong rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time on his hand, and immediately stood up, he had slept for more than an hour.

"Hehe, our brother Dong has become rich? He even wears a watch?" Xiaoxiao saw him rolling up his sleeves, and said out loud in surprise.

"It's for nothing, I have this fortune, you can't envy me."

Ah Zheng also became interested now, "For nothing? Why for nothing? Let the brothers know if you say it, and see if you can also get one for nothing?"

"It won't work if you say it out, go back and take your hooks, I have to take up the thread too, I've overslept."

"I don't want to share anything about getting rich."

"This cannot be shared, and I will tell you if it can be shared."

Taking people's money to eliminate disasters, and taking away their things, you must keep the matter, at least you can't let it out from him.

As Ye Yaodong said, he rowed the boat towards the buoy that was the first to take up the line at the front, but he saw that the waves in the sea not far ahead were violently surging.

"What's in the water over there?"

"what?"

Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao originally planned to let him not say anything, and was about to row the boat back and start reeling in. When he heard his words, he stopped curiously, and looked in the direction of his finger.

"Huh? What's under the water?"

"Looks like long, thin things? Is it a school of eels?"

Ye Yaodong nodded with bright eyes, "It looks quite similar, it's so long, I threw the raft hook into the sea last night, and when I reeled in the line before, I caught more than a dozen big red moray eels, ranging from seven to eight catties to a dozen. It doesn’t matter how much it weighs, it’s very gratifying.”

The two were pleasantly surprised when they heard the words, "So good? Then we won't close the line today."

"Next time you go out to sea, you must bring your throwing net with you. It's fine if you didn't bring it yesterday, and I didn't bring it today." Ah Zheng felt a little regretful, who would have thought that he would encounter a school of eels again.

Ye Yaodong was also thinking in his heart that he also had to prepare a hand-throwing net and put it on the boat as a backup, otherwise, he would be pissed off when he encountered a good one but couldn't catch it. Today is fine, the fish are near his hook, why? You can also gain a little.

Suddenly, there was a splash of water on the sea surface, and a slender living creature stuck out its head and emerged from the water surface. Before they could tell who they were, the sea eagle, which had been flying in the sky, swooped down from the sky. , pick it up.

Only then did the three see clearly what that living creature was?Exclaimed again and again...

"Hi~"

"Damn it, it's a sea snake. It's not a moray eel, it's a group of sea snakes. Grass~ I'm getting goosebumps..."

"This is a green-ringed sea snake, everyone thought it was a group of moray eels?"

Ye Yaodong also had his pupils constricted, looking at the sea eagle that was flying far away. It still held an olive-colored green-ringed sea snake with black bands in its mouth.

"Fortunately, I didn't bring fishing nets to drag them up..."

Thinking about it, he shuddered, a whole net of green-ringed sea snakes, if they were still alive, if they were pulled onto the fishing boat...

Who can stand this?This is to kill them!

The other two couldn't help but rejoice, "Yes, if there are one or two, you can still catch them. Isn't this group of people coming online, it's terrible."

At this time, several green-ringed sea snakes appeared one after another on the sea surface, and the sea eagles and seabirds who were eyeing the tiger on the sea directly and quickly bent down to hunt, and none of their beaks missed.

The green-ringed sea snakes in mid-air struggled to curl up their entire bodies. Although they were ferocious, once out of the water, they were incapable of attacking in mid-air, and they were almost completely defenseless. They could only become a meal for these seabirds .

Ye Yaodong reckoned that they stretched out their heads to inhale, that's why they were accidentally hunted.

At this time, the surface of the sea suddenly boiled again, and a group of green-ringed sea snakes slowly floated on the surface of the water, forming a formation of long snakes that stretched tens of meters visible to the naked eye. Under the predator.

"Hi~"

so much……

The three of them gasped, looking palely at the green-ringed sea snakes densely packed on the water in front of them, the overwhelming gathering, and the ships operating in the distant sea area were also restless there, swaying erratically. There is a herd of green-ringed sea snakes, who are running away in fright.

Who is not afraid of snakes?
It stretches so far, it's not just tens of meters, it's hundreds of kilometers, how many green-ringed sea snakes are there underneath.

There are also more and more seabirds on the sea, flying from a distance, the three of them hurriedly drove the boat a little farther away from their snake array, and hunted by seabirds. Wire.

At this time, no matter whether they encountered the green-ringed sea snake or not, the ships on the sea stopped working one after another. They were all attracted by the seabirds in the air, and those who were far away rowed over to watch it. When they saw the green-ringed sea snake on the sea, they all stopped Can't help but gasp.

Ye Yaodong and little Ah Zheng's boat leaned close together, watching from a distance.

In many cases, these ocean phenomena are not what you want to see, and it is rare to see them in decades.

Ah Zheng stretched his neck and swallowed hard, "Do sea snakes also need parties?"

"Don't they live in groups? They also need to communicate with each other, right?"

"Snakes are cold-blooded animals, right? Do sea snakes have feelings? Are they playing tricks?"

Ye Yaodong listened to the two idiots talking nonsense with black lines all over his head, "Their breeding season is here, so they will gather together for mating and breeding."

"Such?"

"A group of idiots, isn't this convenient for seabirds to hunt and kill?"

"The phenomenon of marine life is not something we can understand. Anyway, we know that it is the season for their reproduction, so there will be a large-scale gathering of green-ringed sea snakes and long snake arrays."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Dongzi, are you really a know-it-all at sea?"

"Of course! I don't necessarily know everything, everything, but I definitely know more than you."

"Then how long have they gathered like this?"

"I'm not sure, it should be gone in an hour or two. If they stay at sea level for a while, their group will lose dozens of individuals, and more and more seabirds are flying from afar."

Not only the seabirds, but also more and more boats came to hear the news on the sea, and they all came to watch the commotion after hearing the news.

It doesn’t have to be word of mouth from ships at sea. Fishermen know that there are schools of fish where seabirds gather and circle. Today’s ships on the sea are completely attracted by seabirds.
