Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 197 The last net

  Looking at the spectacle on the sea and having dinner, both father and son regret that they don't have four hands. The fishing boats next to them are piled up with goods visible to the naked eye. The boats are full of sardines and various big fish.

  Most of the people on the other ships rested on the deck, unfortunately manpower is limited.

   After Ah Guang and the others lowered the fishing nets again, they also took a break there and approached the boat.

   "Dongzi, how many nets have you caught? How many catties have you caught?"

   "Two to three thousand catties, the arm strength is too much, otherwise there is no need to rest, how about you?"

   "It's almost the same, but there are a few more big fish than you, and I dare not catch too many in one net. If I catch too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch them."

  Father Ye smiled and said: "A few big fish are enough. Those sardines are worthless. Any big deep-sea fish is worth a few hundred catties of sardines."

  Father Pei smiled and said: "That's what I said, so after dawn, we will try our best to grab big goods."

   "It's just a lot of work. After today's ticket is done, everyone will have to rest for a few days and can't come out." A Guang shook his sore arm, and didn't know whether to be happy, happy or happy...

  Ye Yaodong put away the half-eaten lunch box, wiped his mouth and said, "Today, I earned a year's worth of money in one day, let alone a few days, a month's rest is fine!"

  Father Pei laughed, "Dongzi is right."

   "Enough of the rest, let's continue."

  Ye Yaodong was stimulated by the big fish on Aguang's fishing boat, shook his hands and threw the net, planning to hurry up and continue working. He had already set his sights on the yellowfin tuna not far away.

  Sardines are now just bait in the eyes of these fishermen, they are bait for catching big fish, and catching it is just a matter of chance.

  It's a pity that they didn't see bluefin tuna around them. There were boats everywhere, and it was hard to change them.

   Seeing that they started to work again, Ah Guang also caught another yellowfin tuna, so excitedly he called his father to continue.

   Work hard to complete this vote, and you don't have to worry about getting married! !

  Other fishing boats on the sea did not dare to rest more, and one less catch would be a loss of tens of dollars.

  The dense sardines on the sea are constantly swimming, the big fish are chasing and predating behind them, and the fishing boats are also following closely, from dawn to dusk.

  Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a boat in front of them, and all the fishing boats that were slowly advancing to fish stopped one by one.

  Ye Yaodong and the others were just struggling to collect a net, and they were still leaning on the side of the boat to rest, when they heard waves of cries for help from the fishing boat ahead.

  Father Ye stretched half his body out of the side of the boat and looked around, only to see someone floating on the sea ahead...

   "It seems that something happened to the boat ahead, Dongzi!"

  Ye Yaodong also frowned and watched, "I saw it, it seems that someone fell, Dad, let's drive the boat up a little and see if we can help."

  There is a generally accepted agreement at sea that people in distress at sea must be rescued. Even if you are trawling nets or loading cargo, you must give priority to saving people.

  The sea is full of big fish, and he saw several great white sharks in front of him. Generally, whale sharks don’t eat people, but it’s hard to guarantee that it will happen. If there is a **** smell...

   Not only their fishing boat, but many fishing boats around saw the accident. Everyone quickly drove their horsepower towards the boat, and then spontaneously surrounded the area, trying not to let those big fish on the sea approach.

It was too late and then too soon, when they gathered around, the splashes struggling on the sea surface were small, Ye Yaodong saw that the surroundings should be relatively safe, he took off his coat, took off his watch and jumped off, there were two boats beside him Two people also jumped down.

As soon as he dived into the water, he saw a middle-aged woman sinking to the bottom, still struggling weakly, and hurriedly swam towards her. However, the strength of pulling the net was too much before, and her arm strength was limited. The woman seemed to be grasping straw. There he struggled while grabbing his clothes, but luckily, the other two people who jumped off also swam over to help, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

   At this time, he also saw dense sardines under the sea not far away, and the magnificent landscape was even more magnificent than what he saw on the sea.

  He widened his eyes instantly, and saw countless sardines shuttled in front of his eyes, arranged in various regular or irregular groups, as if they were dancing.

  In just a few seconds, this magnificent natural landscape was deeply engraved in his mind. When he surfaced, he was still a little dazed, and his eyes were still shining.

  The other two also had the same expression. Neither of them thought that the sardines on the sea were just the tip of the iceberg of the sardine storm, and the truly spectacular scene was in the sea.

  But it was only for a moment, when they saw the ships gathered around them and the noise in their ears, they immediately came back to their senses.

  The three of them, the husband of the woman on the boat and some enthusiastic fishermen on the boat, worked together to drag the middle-aged woman into the boat, and then climbed onto the boat.

  After getting on the boat, Ye Yaodong sat in a corner, gasping for breath, watching others give first aid.

  The surrounding ships all moved closer together, watching with concern.

   Fortunately, it was caught and rescued in time. The middle-aged woman spat out a mouthful of water after giving first aid, and woke up slowly.

  The woman’s husband was so happy that he almost burst into tears. He kept thanking everyone and said that it was all his fault that he couldn’t swim. Then he left the addresses of several people who helped, indicating that he would come to thank everyone when he returned.

After Ye Yaodong declared his family name, he also climbed onto his boat, continued to sit slumped and swinging his arms, watching the various big fish on the sea in the distance, and the images he had just seen on the bottom of the sea flashed through his mind again, with endless aftertaste , I also have some more thoughts in my heart.

  People's horizons need to be expanded. Broadening your horizons and expanding your pattern will broaden your life.

  Father Ye asked him to take off his wet clothes first, and wear a coat to avoid catching a cold. It was only after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and no one was willing to go back early.

   "And this watch, when did you buy it, it's a prodigal gadget, such an expensive thing can be bought..."

  Ye Yaodong took the watch and looked at the time, then put the watch in his pocket, and didn't answer his father's questions, just nagging him a few words.

  Father Ye also knows that his son has changed a lot in the past few months, and he has lost the anger he used to hate iron and steel when he speaks.

   After resting, Father Ye let the boat go with the waves. They will continue to work hard to catch a few more big fish. Today is cloudy, and the sky looks a bit dark. They need to hurry up.

   While arranging the fishing nets, Ye Yaodong found that some parts of the fishing nets had been damaged during the continuous high-intensity throwing, and the holes were too large, all because the big fish struggled too hard. They can continue to catch, but it is easy to miss fish, but they are mainly for catching big fish, and sardines run away when they run away.

  He rubbed the sore muscles on his arms. Now they don’t have the strength to cast the net at the beginning, and the net can’t be fully opened. They didn’t expect those sardines at first, as long as they can catch a big fish.

   Fortunately, their hopes have not failed. There are still many big fish on the sea, and they are all running after the sardines, but there are few fish to choose from within their field of vision, so they can only catch what they have.

  Every time the goods come up, no matter how many sardines there are, the big fish will bring one. Even though the two of them are exhausted and paralyzed, and they can hardly lift their hands, they still hope to catch two more.

  At this moment, Ye Yaodong aimed at the big blue shark that was closest to them.

  Before, they deliberately avoided those super-large whale sharks, which were not something they could catch, but there was no way, and now only the big blue shark was closest to them in their field of vision.

Fortunately, the big blue shark is relatively small among sharks. This one is less than two meters long and has a slender body. It weighs about 100 kilograms, but there are also a lot of sardines in the net. The father and son grinned and worked hard. Pull it up as usual.

  Although the value of the shark's meat is not high, its fins are valuable. They are shark fins, which are better than catching a net of sardines.

  After randomly scattering the big blue shark and the sardines that were caught together on the deck, the father and son were almost exhausted and paralyzed.

   "Father, are you still arresting? It's almost five o'clock."

Although a man can't say no, but human strength is exhausted, and he is really near the end of high-intensity physical work. He feels that his hands are no longer his own, and the boat is full of sardines. Some corners are piled up like small hills. They There is nowhere to go.

  The sky is also getting dark. It was originally dark in autumn and winter, but today is still cloudy, and the sky is even darker.

  The longlines were still left behind in the sea, and neither of them was willing to leave to collect them. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to meet them in the future. They don’t have any extra food on board, allowing them to chase sardines for a day or two, and they don’t have so many ice cubes to keep them fresh. They all want to catch as much as possible now. net.

   "Going back? Too bad..."

  Father Ye was also panting heavily, his hands were so sore that he couldn't lift them up, but he was still reluctant to leave.

   "Can you still lift your hand?" Ye Yaodong was also reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to stay there, and they could only watch there, chasing sardines on the boat for a day or two, and they still didn't have the strength to catch them.

   When it is broken, it will be broken. It is better to go back and rest early.

  Although Father Ye was reluctant, he knew it was useless to stay any longer. He looked at the sea and said, "Let's go, let's go back..."

   "Hey, wait, there are still row hooks confiscated, what should we do, we have no strength in our hands?"

  Ye Yaodong also thought of this.

"Those row hooks can only be thrown into the sea overnight. Tomorrow, I will ask my elder brother and second brother to sail over to help me collect them. They should not be lost. By the way, I will bring them to this sea area to trawl. The sardine storm has just passed. The goods in the sea area must be stronger than those in other sea areas.”

   "That's fine, too bad, they didn't know where to trawle the net today. I looked around the sea and didn't see the boat at home."

   "Well, then go back to...huh?"

  Ye Yaodong found a marlin popping out of the sea next to him, and he stared at it instantly with glowing eyes.

  Father Ye also saw the marlin suddenly appearing around them on the sea surface, and said cruelly: "Dongzi, catch another net at the end, we will go back after catching that marlin."

"OK!"

  This marlin is more than two meters long and weighs more than one hundred catties. It is considered a juvenile. Adult marlins are generally three to four meters long.

  It is cobalt blue top and silvery white underside; has a prominent dorsal fin and a long, deadly spear-like mandible.

  Ye Yaodong resisted and raised his arm to cast the net. After he caught it, both of them were overjoyed.

  The arms of the father and son, whose strength had been exhausted, exploded again.

  Both of them had bulging veins on their hands and foreheads. They bit their back teeth and tried to use their last strength, but this net was especially heavy for them.

  They dragged the fishing net to the side of the boat with all their strength, and they were about to try harder, but they couldn't pull it up no matter what, and they could only stand there.

  Ye Yaodong cursed and was so depressed that he wanted to give up but felt that it was a pity. He and Father Ye felt a bit in a dilemma for a while.

  The last net, can't he catch a decent one?

   There is another chapter that has been reviewed. I went to poke the editor. I didn’t drive, but I still reviewed it.
