Chapter 179 Long Snake Formation
300 fishhooks, one fish lined up to take the bait, and there were only about 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 means that one person wants to sail the boat, but also needs to take up the line and put down the bait again, which seems too busy and inefficient.
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 is alone. When he changes to a bigger boat, 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 placed 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 a universal bait just like a shrimp. Wait a while to see if there are any new ones.
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.
He carried the water bucket by the way. His bucket was relatively tall. It felt like one bucket weighed more than 30 kilograms. Both buckets were full, and several fish with a size of more than 5-6 kilograms were thrown on the boat.
Today’s harvest will definitely exceed yesterday’s. Just 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 was not going to fish anymore. There are so many fishhooks in the sea, there is no need to fight for goods 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 he went out to sea today, Lin Xiuqing called him to stop and asked him to put on a padded jacket. It was windy at sea, and it rained again yesterday. 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, planning to rest for a while and then get up and take up the line.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden exclamation in his ear, which made him sit up immediately in fright.
"Dongzi, Dongzi?"
"Damn it, what's your name? I'm sleeping soundly!" Ye Yaodong shouted at them depressed after getting up.
"Made, 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, nothing to do, just lie down and sleep when you are idle and bored?"
"We watched the boat afloat from a distance, and we didn't see anyone on board. We thought something happened to you and fell into the sea."
"I'm lucky and fateful, what can happen to me? I can swim up if I fall into the sea, but I can still drown people in this shallow sea? It's not like I can't swim."
"All right, we are just worrying, we have to go back to collect the hooks."
"Is it 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.
"Hey, our brother Dong has made a fortune? He even wears a watch?" Xiao Xiao saw him roll up his sleeves with sharp eyes, 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 get one for nothing?"
"It won't work if you say it, go back and collect your hooks, I have to take up the thread too, I 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."
Take people’s money to eliminate disasters, and they have taken their things, so you must keep things safe, at least not from him.
Ye Yaodong said as 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 surging violently.
"What's in the water over there?"
"What?"
Azheng Xiaoxiao originally planned to let him not say anything, and was about to row the boat back and start reeling in. Hearing what he said, he also stopped curiously, and looked in the direction of his finger.
"Huh? What's under the water?"
"It looks like a long and thin thing? Is it a group of eels?"
The two were also 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 had to prepare a hand-throwing net and put it on the boat as a backup. Otherwise, he would be **** off when he encountered a good one but couldn't catch it. Today was a good day, and the fish were near his hooks, so 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.
The three of them saw clearly what that living creature was? Exclaimed again and again...
"Hiss~"
"Damn it, this is a sea snake, the bottom is not a moray eel, but a group of sea snakes, grass~ I have 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 blue-ringed sea snake with black rings all over its body.
"Fortunately, I didn't bring fishing nets to drag them up..."
Thinking about it, he shuddered, a whole net of green-ringed sea snakes would still be alive if they were pulled onto the fishing boat...
Who can bear this? This is to kill them!
The other two couldn't help but feel rejoicing, "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 blue-ringed sea snakes appeared one after another on the sea surface, and the sea eagles and seabirds who were watching the sea surface bent down to hunt quickly, 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, so 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.
"Hiss~"
so much…
The three of them gasped, looking palely at the densely packed green-ringed sea snakes on the water in front of them, gathering overwhelmingly, and the ships operating in the distant sea area were also restless there, swaying non-stop and irregularly. 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.
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 were close together, watching from a distance.
Many times, 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 reproductive 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, you really know everything about the sea?"
"Of course! I don't necessarily know everything, everything, but I definitely know more than you."
"How long have they gathered like this?"
"Not sure, it should disperse in an hour or two. If they stay at sea level for a while, their group will lose dozens of them. There are more and more seabirds flying from afar."
Not only seabirds, but also more and more boats coming from the sea after hearing the news, they all came to watch the excitement after hearing the news.
It doesn’t have to be word of mouth on 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.
