The speed at which the net machine collects the net is fast for a while, slow for a while, rattling and creaking again, and the father and son are both puzzled and anxious.
At first, I thought it was something big, so the net lifting machine made an overloaded sound, but now it is fast and slow for a while, and there is sound for a while, and there is no sound for a while, which is obviously not like catching a big cargo.
"It's not a problem with the bottom goods. The hoist must be broken, right? If you get a big one, it can't be like this? It should be as heavy as it was at the beginning."
"It's good, how could it be broken? It hasn't been used many times, so how long have you bought it?" Ye Yaodong was also puzzled, and checked the operation of the machine, "Isn't it running well? It shouldn't be..."
"Go back and check carefully."
"I went into the water to have a look. I feel that the machine is fine. It must be something wrong with the seabed fishing net?"
Father Ye frowned and watched the machine making rattling noises again, and nodded, "Then be careful, go down slowly, and come up early no matter if you find anything."
"I know, it's not the first time I've entered the water, don't worry." Ye Yaodong said while putting equipment on himself.
The sea area below is not familiar to him after all, Ye Yaodong was still very cautious when diving down, once in the water, he paid close attention to the situation on the bottom of the sea.
As soon as he dived to about five or six meters underwater, he saw a huge monster on the bottom of the sea ahead, which shocked him instantly.
He hesitated for a while, and did not float up immediately. Although there is a huge unknown creature underneath, as long as you don't touch it, the creatures on the bottom of the sea will generally not actively attack people. Human beings are not on the diet of marine life.
And he also guessed that such a big creature should not be a whale, but a shark.
When he thought about the trawling before, he always had a feeling of calm before the storm, and he always felt that there was a dark tide under the sea. Could it be because of this huge monster?
Ye Yaodong continued to swim forward cautiously, wanting to see if such a big one was a whale or a shark. The net lifting machine on his boat kept rattling, could it have something to do with it?
He spent a lot of money on that machine, and it hasn't been bought for half a year, and he hasn't used it much.
After he swam a little closer, he also saw the white spots and horizontal stripes on the body of the huge monster. By the way, this feature allowed him to recognize that it was a whale shark, also known as the fish with stars on its back. .
Its size is really too big. Although the lines on its body can be seen clearly, there is still a little distance between the two. It is facing up with its tail down, right next to his fishing net, and I don’t know what it is doing. ?
After identifying this thing as a whale shark, Ye Yaodong was no longer afraid, and felt at ease.
He has never seen a whale shark of that size alive.
Although the whale shark has a huge body, its personality is quite gentle and will not cause major harm to humans.
Ye Yaodong boldly swung his flippers and continued to swim forward for a while, and now he finally knew why his net hoist made rattling noises from time to time, and it became normal again from time to time.
He was stunned to see what he saw, and I went for it, this whale shark was there for nothing, stealing his ass.
It turned out that a whale shark bit the fishing net. It found a loophole in the fishing net. It opened its mouth and kept sucking the small fish out of the net.
It was also the first time he saw that whale sharks eat fish by sucking.
Fortunately, he came down to take a look, otherwise, when the whale shark emptied the fishing net, he would not know why the fishing net was empty.
This whale shark looks stupid, but I heard that it has a very high IQ. It is said that an adult whale shark has an IQ equivalent to that of a seven-year-old child.
When it swallowed and stopped sucking, the machine pulled smoothly for a short period, and then it made a heavy overload sound when it was sucked by it again.
It seems that as long as this whale shark is still there, he will never try to pull up the fishing net. He can only wait for the whale shark to eat up.
Damn it, this net is for nothing, it’s cheap, and it’s actually stealing, so bad.
Ye Yaodong dared to look angrily for a few times, and then went up directly. If he didn't go up, it was useless for him to stay there and watch, and he had nothing to do with it.
As soon as Father Ye saw him surfaced, he immediately leaned over and pulled him up, "How is it? There should be no problem down there, right? I'll just say it's a problem with the machine. It can't move at all right now. Just now, it can move from time to time. Pull it up a bit, now I can only go back and check it carefully, and then pull it up manually."
Father Ye was thinking that if it was a problem with the fishing nets at the bottom, then Dongzi would definitely be able to solve the problem after going down for so long and let the machine pull up smoothly.
Now that it can’t be pulled anymore, it must be that the machine is broken even more.
"Huh?" Father Ye was stunned.
"When I first came up, I saw that it sucked a small part of the fishing net into its mouth. Now it can only be collected after it has emptied the contents of the fishing net."
"It's okay? Whale sharks can steal food?" Father Ye couldn't believe it when he encountered this kind of thing for the first time.
"Well, it's about five or six meters underwater."
He thinks that he loves to steal food, which is why he often saw news about whales being entangled in fishing nets in his previous life.
Father Ye said with some regret after being surprised: "Then we really have to wait for it to finish eating before we can pull the fishing net up."
"Wait a minute, it should be soon, with its big mouth, if the opening of the fishing net is not too small, it can be like a storm just by taking a bite."
"It's good that the fishing net is not broken, otherwise it will cost a few dollars to repair it casually, and it will delay today's work."
"It's hard to say, I gave it a bite to make it easier for it to eat, and I don't know if it will not be enough later, so I swallowed the whole one."
"Swallowed the whole thing? That's the end of it? The fishing nets for this trawl net cost tens of dollars to make, and it takes a lot of energy and time. If it is swallowed, it will take another ten days or so. Can't trawl."
"I'll just say that casually, not sure yet, let's see later."
Father Ye couldn't help but look at the sea and complain, "That's good, why did you come to the sea?"
"Isn't that normal?"
"Did you see how big it was when you went down just now?"
"Is it more than ten meters away? Anyway, it's not small, and I didn't dare to get close, so I just watched from a distance."
Father Ye opened his mouth silently with his eyes wide open. He was shocked by the length he said. He thought it should be only about three or four meters at most...
"That big?"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Ye Yaodong seriously again, and reprimanded him with a straight face, "When you saw that whale, why did you stay there for so long before coming up? Don't be afraid that it will turn around and **** you up, swallowing you up." ? You are really daring."
"I didn't approach it, it was quite a distance away. I could only see it because of its large size, and this whale shark is said to be docile."
"Docile? Docile? You've only been out at sea for a year, and you already know it's docile? Did you see it? I've never seen such a big whale, I've never seen such a big whale, so let me dive into the water if there's nothing else to do. Go, mess around with that stuff all day..."
"I thought it was like my own swimming pool underwater... Go down if you want to go down... There are so many unfamiliar things underneath... There are some dirty things waiting for people to go down and grab them instead..."
Ye Yaodong saw that his father was getting more and more outrageous, so he interrupted him directly, "What nonsense, the more you say, the more outrageous it is."
During this period of time, when he was digging abalones in the water at the reef, why didn't he say that he was messing around?
Not counting fish, digging abalones earned nearly a thousand dollars, why didn’t he say anything when he distributed the money? Really.
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. How many previous experiences have told you that you still don't believe it. If there is nothing wrong with your equipment, you should use it less and go into the water less. How do you know whether the place where you enter the water is dirty or not? No one dropped it before. Have you ever gone down? What if the ones below are waiting there..."
"Okay, okay~ I know, I know no less than you, that's it..."
"What do you know, that's how rheumatism comes. If you dive too much, you will get all kinds of diseases in the future. You have to listen to what I tell you..."
"Stop, stop, the fishing net is coming up..."
Father Ye also stopped talking immediately, and sighed when he saw that the fishing net was pulled up the slide, and the inside was really empty as A Dong said.
"This night, the Internet really did nothing."
"It's good that the fishing nets are still there. Let's drag them up to check to see if there is any damage, and see if they can still be used later? If they can't be used, forget it, and go back early today."
It’s okay if it’s not swallowed completely. If there is any damage, it will be less damaged by sewing.
Just when the father and son thought they were unlucky and pulled the fishing nets onto the deck, the whale shark suddenly surfaced.
