Originally, I only wanted to see if I could catch a few little green dragons, but I didn't expect that there would be a surprise.
Wild sea cucumber is "sea ginseng", the king of all kinds of tonics. According to ancient books, sea cucumber, wild caterpillar fungus, ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, and deer fetus in the forest are also called "four natural immortals".
Ye Yaodong threw the sea cucumbers in his hand into the bucket of sea water, and by the way grabbed the escaped little blue dragons and put them in. These little blue dragons were also very fat, with their tails curled up, and each of them looked like four. Five taels.
There are also a few fish that were caught together on the deck, including 3 nine-section shrimps, which are not too small, as well as bass, turbot, sole fish, small rays, and a few small colored striped ones The coral reef fish looked alive and its mouth was moving, so he released it directly.
"I'll clean it up, you continue to collect the ground cage." Father Ye urged him happily, and put all the fish on the deck into other fish baskets by category.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands and straightened up, "Okay."
He pulled one end of the rope and continued to twist the ground cage, and he closed the second ground cage very smoothly. Through the fishing net, they all saw the little green dragon crawling around inside.
"There are several little green dragons."
The wrinkles at the corners of Ye’s father’s eyes showed several deep grooves, “Okay, okay, these fish are not bad, let’s untie them first…”
As soon as the fish collection bag was released, it was scattered all over the ground again, but this time there was only one sea cucumber.
"I don't know how many years these sea cucumbers have grown. They are all quite big, and the thorns on their bodies are also thick."
Wild sea cucumbers grow in deep sea areas. Due to the pressure of water depth, ocean currents, tides and other tests, plus relying on self-predation and a large amount of activity, sea cucumber spines become thick, short and powerful.
Sea cucumbers also mainly depend on whether the thorns are thick or not. Only thick and powerful ones indicate that they have good vitality, so that the taste and nutritional value of sea cucumbers are high.
Cultivated sea cucumbers have a short growth period and do not need to prey on their own. The water for cultivation is shallow, the pressure is low, the environment is relatively quiet, and there are no natural tides and other factors, so the spines of sea cucumbers become slender.
Of course what he caught was pure wild ones. He held it in his hand and rubbed his thumb back and forth several times to play with it. Then he counted the sea cucumbers and the little green dragons again.
The second ground cage caught 1 sea cucumber, 3 small green dragons, and five or six nine-sectioned shrimps. I won’t talk about those fish. After I knew it, I handed it over to his father to sort it out, and he continued to collect it.
But when he was pulling it, he found that it couldn't move.
"Oh? It's over, you really got hooked?"
"Hooked?" Father Ye put down the goods on hand, walked to the side of the ship, tried to pull it, and found that it really couldn't be pulled.
"What's the matter? I was worried that I would be hooked and couldn't get up, but I was really stuck, so I took two of them up..."
Ye Yaodong had expected it a long time ago. After all, the bottom is a hidden reef, and it is normal to be hooked.
He calmly turned around and went to the small cabin to take out the diving equipment he specially brought at night, as well as the homemade net bag, "I'll go into the water and have a look."
Father Ye watched him take off his coat neatly, put on his mask and air tube, took off the solid hard plastic block in the foot cover, and took off his shoes to put it in.
"This... can you bring these? Does it work? When did you buy it? Can it work? The deeper the water, the stronger the pressure..."
"I don't know if it will work or not. I'll try to see how deep I can dive. There are reefs underneath, and there were shipwrecks a while ago, so it shouldn't be very deep."
These were made by Lin Jishang, and there is English on them, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
After doing a few simple warm-up exercises, he jumped into the water under Father Ye's earnest instructions.
He was not in a hurry to dive in. He tried swimming in shallow water for a while to get familiar with it, and then tested the tightness of the mask and whether the flippers would fall off easily during the swing.
It felt all right, and after getting used to it, he dived down.
Last year, he didn’t have any tools. He only dived less than ten meters and felt the air pressure was a bit high, making it uncomfortable to float up. This time he felt okay.
Slowly swinging the flippers, I dived about five meters. The visibility of the sea water here is very good, and the underwater light is relatively sufficient. I can clearly see the scattered small fish and shrimp swimming around.
Looking down, one can barely see a sunken ship tilting, with the bow facing upwards, close to the reef.
He continued to dive in the direction of the hidden reef and the fishing boat.
Going down to about ten meters under the sea, he felt okay, without any discomfort, and he still had to use tools to do it.
Although the surrounding underwater landscape is not very clear at this depth, it feels a bit gray, but the light is still very bright, and there are more big fish swimming around, but they are not in groups, just swimming past scatteredly.
Just at this time, two large and small perch were walking towards him. The big one weighed five or six catties, and the small one seemed to weigh about three catties. It was a pity that he didn't have any convenient tools to catch it, so he had to skip it. .
Seven or eight mullet fish also swam in the front left at the same time, and he also avoided it, and continued to dive below.
I don’t know how deep I dived again, it’s estimated to be about 13 or 14 meters. He didn’t feel any discomfort on his body, so he boldly approached the reef around the fishing boat.
Finding the target, he was overjoyed immediately, and swam towards the reef with his flippers.
It happened that a little green dragon was swimming towards him, and he grabbed it without any hassle.
I saw it struggling hard, its tentacles fluttered, its body curled up and let go, curled up again, trying to escape, but how could Ye Yaodong let go of what he got.
He happily put it into the net pocket at his waist, and stretched out his claws towards the surrounding nine-section shrimp.
The small group of nine-section shrimps ran around in fright. He moved both hands at the same time, but only caught two.
After putting it into the net bag, he didn't continue to catch it, but moved the hooked ground cage away from the reef first, so that it would be convenient for him to pull it up after going ashore for a while.
There are quite a few little green dragons crawling happily in the ground cage. He is not in a hurry to grab them out now, and it won’t be too late to untie them after pulling them up. He still needs to hold other things in the net bag.
A pile of conch and abalone are densely adsorbed on the hidden reef next to it, and a few small green dragons and small fish swim by occasionally in the gaps. He is very excited to see these.
He grabbed the little green dragon that he could reach first.
To catch a lobster, you must catch it from the back, because it swims backwards with a flick of its tail.
Because there are reef crevices all around, and the space is small, as long as the hands can get it, it is still easy to catch. He caught three in a row, and ran away. The others hid in the crevices, and there were no tools at hand. Not too inside.
I still have too little experience, otherwise I can bring a small manual copy net.
Glanced around again, but he didn't see Xiao Qinglong anymore. He looked not far from the bottom, thought for a while, and went down a little bit, letting his feet touch the ground first.
As for the crowded abalones on the reef, he was not in a hurry to pick them up, they couldn’t get away.
I don’t know if this area is because of the offshore, or because the bottom crust has moved, and the sea water is not very deep. He estimated that it should be only a dozen meters away from the sea surface.
There is soft sand under the feet, and there are various stones, large and small, on the side. Looking around, except for the sound of water, it feels a little quiet, but fortunately, there are many underwater creatures around.
Large pieces of seaweed and algae are swaying in the water, some fish are swimming around the aquatic plants, and there are small pieces of coral reefs growing not far away. Small blue dragons and coral reef fish are interspersed among them.
This seabed is not as colorful as imagined, and there are no groups of fish around it, but it looks like it is thriving.
He looked around carefully, only to see a sea cucumber hidden in the thick seaweed in front of him. He moved his feet, fiddled with the low seaweed, grabbed the motionless sea cucumber, and cursed secretly in his heart.
"The hidden ones are quite tight, and I almost skipped it. Fortunately, I have a sharp eye."
Put the sea cucumber in his hand into the net bag, but suddenly he saw another one hidden under the sand at his feet, and the thick short thorns on his back exposed a few under his eyes.
Tried to buckle it with his hand, and it really made him buckle another one out.
He slandered again, "Fortunately, I have good eyesight, so I can pick it out."
It was inconvenient for him to kick the sand with his feet wearing flippers, so he simply skipped the bottom ones and caught the little green dragon hiding in the seaweed first.
Don’t ask him how he knew there was something in the seaweed, because the two long tentacles in front were exposed outside the emerald green seaweed, and he could be sure that it was the tentacles of a lobster even if he thought about it with his butt.
Watching the slender branches and leaves swaying with the sea water, suddenly his mind was uncontrollable, and he started singing strangely.
Seaweed, seaweed, drifting with the waves...
Seaweed, seaweed, dancing in the waves...
He instantly shook his body.
This song is too magical.
He shook his head, expelling the magical song from his mind, and stepped forward to fiddle with the lush aquatic plants. The little green dragon was startled by his movements and was about to flee, and he was about to grab the tentacles with quick eyesight and quick hands.
But when the hand just touched the tentacles, the seaweed stirred a bit, and the water around the seaweed immediately became cloudy like dust.
With a bang, it actually bumped into his thigh, and then slipped through his crotch in an instant.
He turned his head and chased after it, only to see it fleeing into the seaweed again, fearing that it would run away again, he approached cautiously, when it was about to flee again, he quickly pressed down on Wuzhishan, and finally grabbed its body.
"I found it and wanted to run, no way..."
All this stems from his mental activities, who is not an old boy anymore?
This one is quite big, and looks like seven or eight taels.
Regardless of its struggle, he put it into the net pocket at his waist again.
