In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 283 So Big, Really Big

Earlier, Li Duoyu also wanted to come to Bird's Mouth Reef to get some seafood, because it is rich in various groupers and lobsters.

But at that time, the relationship between the two villages was still at odds, and Bird's Mouth Reef was close to Chenjiacun.

Xiasha Village wouldn't let them go to Dongjia and Xijia, and Chenjia Village wouldn't let them come here either.

In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Li Duoyu never came.

Now that the relationship between the two villages has been reconciled, there is no need to worry about being discovered and expelled by the fishermen from Chenjia Village.

Li Duoyu looked at the flowing water and then at the thick horse watch on his wrist.

It's getting late, we have to get off the net quickly.

Before setting off the net, Li Duoyu looked around the Bird's Mouth Reef. The reefs here were different from other places. Most of them were in the shape of stone pillars.

In a previous life, a geography expert who came to visit Dandan Island said that Bird's Mouth Reef was not a natural island.

It is most likely a volcanic reef formed by a volcanic eruption. Deep under the sea, it is most likely an active volcano.

The speculations of geologists are similar to those recorded in the "Village Chronicles" of Chenjiacun.

During the Wanli period, a major earthquake occurred in the waters near Dandan Island and triggered a tsunami. According to the village records of Chenjiacun:
[On the ninth day of the eleventh month, there was a massive earthquake, with waves measuring three to four feet high. Houses and trees collapsed wherever the waves hit, and more than a hundred people were injured.]

It is said that the disaster directly reduced the population of Chenjia Village by half, and people in Chenjia Village also saw black smoke rising into the sky in the direction of Bird's Mouth Reef.

For a time, the people of Chenjiacun thought they had collided with the Dragon King, and held large-scale sea festivals for several years in a row.

Since then, people in Chenjia Village have been very taboo about the waters around Bird's Mouth Reef. Even people in Xiasha Village regard Bird's Mouth Reef as a dangerous place.

The reason why Li Duoyu is so familiar with Bird's Mouth Reef is thanks to Old Tang who likes to brag about the past.

If it hadn't been for him blowing it day after day, year after year, Li Duoyu wouldn't have known that there was a Bird's Mouth Reef near Dandan Island.

After all, he went abroad to work illegally and had a 20-year window. By the time he returned to China, fishermen would rarely go out to fish, and all fishing boats would be lying in fishing ports to receive subsidies.

In fact, it is not only Old Tang who likes to tell stories about his youth in the village, Zhang Jinsha and Shitou, the fishermen, all also become chatty when they grow old.

I like to tell stories about my youth all day long, especially where I caught so many big fish, where my net exploded, and how much valuable seafood I caught.

Of course, Li Duoyu, who had no fishing to talk about, also loved telling them stories about how he fought as an illegal worker and battled wits and courage with the island police.

It’s also considered exchanging stories for stories.

Li Duoyu planned to wait for the fishing boat to be obtained, and then go fishing at the locations mentioned by these people to verify how many of them were bragging.

The biggest problem with Bird's Beak Reef is that the reef is too sharp and it is very easy for the net to get caught. Often a good net will break and the water will come out.

Li Duoyu loves and hates this place. What he loves is that there are good things here, but what he hates is that if he sets a net here, he may lose all the net.

After arriving at this magical place, Chen Wenchao held his breath, stared directly into the sea water with his whole face, and opened his eyes wide to look.

The water is very clear and looks very deep, but in some places, you can see directly to the bottom.

There were also many brightly colored sea fish, and an octopus hiding in a snail shell. What excited him the most.

He saw two very long tentacles swinging in a crevice in the reef, judging from the length of the tentacles.

Chen Wenchao was 100% sure that it was a large lobster. At the same time, he also found a large shark with black fins on top and white body walking through the reef area.

The shark seemed to have discovered Chen Wenchao and swam towards him quickly.

Chen Wenchao suddenly pulled his head out of the water.

next second.

There was a small swell on the sea surface, and then a black shark fin appeared on the sea surface.

"Damn, this shark is so vicious."

When the two hundred and fifty people on the sampan saw the thing, they bared their teeth and kept barking, looking like they hated sharks.

"Let's see if you still dare to stick your head into the sea from now on."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he handed over a towel: "Hurry up and wipe it. You are brave when you are young. You dare to stick your head into the sea in the middle of winter. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Chen Wenchao wiped his head twice and felt something was wrong. He smelled the towel and there seemed to be a strange smell. It was a bit smelly but also smelled of milk.

"Brother Yu, what did you use this towel for before?"

Li Duoyu smiled coquettishly: "This towel, in a few months, you will probably know it. It would be nice to have a towel for you. You are still picky. Dry your hair quickly to avoid catching a cold."

After Chen Wenchao dried off, the two began to place the sticky net. The 1000-meter sticky net was placed directly around the Bird's Mouth Reef for most of the circle.

After putting the sticky net.

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch. It was now around two o'clock, and the low tide was about five o'clock today.

In other words, it would take more than three hours before it was time to close the network. During this period, all they could do was wait.

There was no place for them to rest nearby, so Li Duoyu tied a boat rope to the bird's mouth on Bird's Mouth Reef, which was exposed above the sea, to prevent the sampan from being taken away by the current.

It's a pity that there aren't any fishing boats around, otherwise we could form a game, score eighty points, and kill some time.

But no fishermen would come to this place at all. Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao stared at each other, not knowing what to do.Luckily there is a dog.

As long as he was not on the fishing raft, Erbaiwu was very excited and kept running around Li Duoyu.

Maybe he was really bored, so Li Duoyu put it down directly and helped it catch the plant lice on its body.

This thing is really annoying. It's already so far away from the island. I didn't expect to be able to find [-] accurately.

While Li Duoyu was catching lice, Chen Wenchao, who was sitting on the sampan boat, kept fighting with his eyelids. From time to time he would close his eyes and sleep for a while, and then suddenly wake up.

"Didn't you sleep this morning?" Li Duoyu asked.

Chen Wenchao nodded: "The firecrackers were too loud and I couldn't fall asleep."

When Chen Wenchao fell asleep, he was deadlier than him, and there was no way he could be woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

It was estimated that there was a problem with the eel feed last night, which put too much pressure on him and prevented him from sleeping well.

"Hurry up and go to sleep. You will be responsible for pulling the net later and drying your hair."

"it is good."

After Chen Wenchao dried his hair, he lay on the board and fell asleep.

After Li Duoyu caught lice from Erbaiwu, he sat at the stern of the boat and looked at the vast sea. He who rarely smoked suddenly suddenly smoked a cigarette.

The sea breeze blows slowly.

If you smoke slowly, the wind will help you smoke.

It has been more than a year since he came to this world, and his second Spring Festival is about to take place.

When the sun set in the west, Chen Wenchao felt a little cold and shivered twice, then woke up.

I saw it was already evening.

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said, "Brother Yu, are you going to close the net?"

"Yes." Li Duoyu nodded.

Chen Wenchao quickly put on his gloves and said, "Brother Yu, I'll just do it today."

"It's so powerful. It seems that your Xiaolan has been feeding you a lot of supplements recently."

"After you become pregnant, there is no need to supplement."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a few seconds. Although it was just a simple sentence, the amount of information seemed a bit large.

However, it was destined to be difficult to pull the net today. The bottom of the net just started to hang. It took a long time to pull up the first net.

As a result, the entire net was in disrepair, and before any fish could be caught, only a few groupers were eaten with only half of their body left.

Fortunately, things got better on the second net, and there were no more rocks. First, I caught a lobster the size of a fist.

Li Duoyu originally thought it was a corrugated small green dragon, but after a second look, he realized it was not, but a Chinese lobster.

This kind of lobster is different from the corrugated lobster. It is slightly redder in color. It is generally called Hong Kong lobster here on Tan Dan Island.

And this kind of lobster can grow very large, with slightly red tentacles, which are often much longer than the body of the shrimp.

In the past, there were quite a lot of this kind of lobster in Hong Kong. Some fishermen caught one weighing ten kilograms, and said the tentacles were more than half a meter long.

Unfortunately, when Li Duoyu returned to China in his previous life, the lobsters in Hong Kong were almost exhausted, and he didn't catch any.

After untying the crayfish from the sticky net, Li Duoyu threw it back into the sea on the spot.

"Go back. Next time, ask your parents to come with you."

Chen Wenchao, who kept pulling the sticky net, suddenly shouted excitedly: "Brother Yu, there is a big sea bream of more than ten kilograms."

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Wenchao was very excited when he saw red and yellow marine fish, because these two colors of marine fish are the most expensive during the Chinese New Year.

Even if you don't sell this real snapper to a big hotel, you can still sell it for [-] to [-] cents per pound, or [-] yuan per fish. If you catch dozens of them, you will make a fortune today.

Although the sky had turned dark, Li Duoyu discovered that there was a dark and ugly "stone" next to the real sea bream.

Seeing that Chen Wenchao had almost caught it, Li Duoyu quickly shouted: "Don't touch it, stone fish."

After hearing this.

Chen Wenchao's hair stood on end. Just now he thought that the black stuff was some kind of garbage, and he was about to clean it up, but he didn't expect it to be a stone fish.

This fish is considered one of the most hated seafood by fishermen. It looks like a stone and likes to hide in reef areas.

Sometimes, after the tide goes out, they will still stay in the puddles in the reef area. There was once a fisherman in the village who was fishing for small seas. She accidentally stepped on this kind of stone fish with her bare feet, and her entire foot was almost destroyed.

"Be careful, don't you know? There are a lot of poisons here, maybe there are also mud men and lion fish."

Chen Wenchao nodded, but after a while, his eyes widened and he started to stutter when he spoke: "Brother Yu, it's so big, it's really big."
