Chapter 1152

"Just looking like this, you can't see clearly what kind of fish it is. There are too many similar fish in the sea. You have to pull them up to know." After Ye Yaodong handed the binoculars in his hand to his father, he casually threw down a sentence and went down to the deck.

The boat workers on the deck were also whispering there, asking what kind of school of fish it was that had formed a storm. After seeing him come down, they hurriedly asked him.

"Adong, should we cast the net directly? We don't know what kind of fish it is."

"Our luck is too good. As soon as we came out, we encountered a fish storm."

"The nets are all pulled out, almost ready. Should we cast the net directly?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea surface. "Cast the net. Harvest a bit more. I don't know how long this can gather."

"Alright, cast a few more nets. With such a large quantity, even the cheapest fish can be sold at a good price."

"It's only been two hours since we drove out. Our luck is quite good."

"I don't know what kind of birds those are. They are all black, in patches. Looking at them, they really look like moving sea islands."

Some people took the fishing nets and prepared to cast them, some people retreated to the side, and everyone was chatting there.

The feathers of these seabirds were all black. Everyone couldn't recognize what kind of birds these were, and could only recognize some basic seabirds.

Ye Yaodong didn't recognize them either. Don't talk about those seabirds; even the fish covered by the fishing net, he didn't recognize them either.

After everyone cast a net out, they immediately pulled the net, and then pulled it up. When it was pulled to the side of the boat, he saw clearly what the fish in the center of the storm looked like.

Looking through the fishing net, it was a kind of jack fish, but he didn't know exactly what variety it was.

The marine species were rich. What he recognized was only the tip of the iceberg, and it was impossible to recognize everything. However, judging by the body shape, it was very similar to the amberjack type, probably a kind of jack fish.

After pulling it up and looking carefully, perhaps he could recognize it. After all, there were too many similar fish in the ocean.

"Hey~"

The two of them worked together to pull up the fishing net. When they untied the fishing net and poured the whole net of goods onto the deck, he also squatted up and picked up a fish to look at it. This fish was more than half a meter long, but its body shape was quite wide, presenting a spindle shape.

When he held it in his hand, it wasn't completely dead yet, and it could still flick and hit his hand twice.

"Looks like a six-banded jack..."

Ye Fu also took the binoculars and came down to the deck to take a look. "You recognize this fish? Does it look similar to amberjack? It's just a bit smaller. One is only a few jin. It can't compare to amberjack."

"Adong is still knowledgeable, recognizing every fish."

"I'm not too sure either..."

However, as soon as the words fell, he pulled out a small fish with bright and vivid colors from a pile of identical fish, about the length of his palm.

"Wrasse..."

"You recognize this one again?" Ye Fu looked at him with doubt.

"Recognize it. This fish is also quite common. It specializes in eating dead skin and parasites on other fish. It's a cleaner for other fish."

"How come you recognize everything? How come I don't recognize it?"

Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "Didn't they just say it? I'm knowledgeable."

"Fart."

He didn't care about his father's unconvinced tone, thinking that this wrasse was probably cleaning those six-banded jacks in the sea, right?

If it was a six-banded jack, the cylindrical storm just now should be a jack storm.

Six-banded jacks particularly like to cluster. When they rest, they often form this storm cluster form. Clustering is relatively safer.

There are also places with upwelling currents where plankton gathers, and there will also be a large number of jack fish clustering, presenting a cylindrical shape, resembling a storm. This kind of storm formed by jack fish is generally collectively referred to as a jack storm.

Jack storm is used to refer to this clustering characteristic of jack fish.

He thought it was probably that this group of six-banded jacks was resting, letting the wrasse give them a spa, which happened to attract a large number of seabirds to fly over to forage, and also attracted them over.

While he was talking to Ye Fu, a new net was cast out. Not long after, two more large nets of goods were added to the deck, splashing and filling the entire deck.

Everyone's speed of picking wasn't as fast as their speed of casting nets and receiving goods. The goods of the two large nets hadn't been sorted yet, and two more nets were poured down, mixed with some small miscellaneous fish and small shrimp and crabs. After these were picked, they all had to be poured back into the sea.

Those seabirds ahead were all skimming the water. Although the seabirds were not small in size, the six-banded jacks underneath were not small in size either. One was at least three, five, or six jin or more, and they were not as easy to catch as some small fish.

So for a long time, Ye Yaodong just watched them go up and down. They didn't eat any big fish, and could only peck at some small miscellaneous fish to fill their stomachs.

"Self-sacrificing, leaving the big ones for me, digesting the small ones themselves, the upbringing is quite good."

Ye Fu watched his strange muttering, "What kind of stuff are you talking about?"

"I'm praising those black seabirds for being sensible. They didn't eat a mouthful of so many big fish, and ate all the small fish, leaving the big ones for us."

Ye Fu glanced at him with disgust, said he was crazy, and didn't care about him, lowering his head to continue sorting these six-banded jacks quickly. These sea fish had big prices for big ones, and small prices for small ones.

And Ye Yaodong knew well how to be a boss. Everyone was squatting there picking, including his father, but he was standing, with binoculars hanging around his neck, staring at the sea surface.

Constantly paying attention to when this wave of jack storm would end, and whether it would attract fishing boats from other places.

Chen Laoqi said while pulling the net, "Adong, these two fishing nets will probably have to be scrapped after these fish are caught..."

"It doesn't matter. There are new ones in the cabin. We prepared a few more when we came out, just in case. If the old ones are broken too badly, just put them away. When we bring them back, I can still use them to dry fish."

Make the best use of everything. Even if you have money, you can't be extravagant and wasteful.

"It's good that there are more. I just see that you are particularly easy to encounter schools of fish. We should prepare more of this kind of fishing net on the boat. Originally, the line of this kind of hand-thrown net is relatively thin, and the number of times it can be used is limited, so we should prepare more."

Ye Yaodong just responded, didn't say much, and watched for a while with binoculars, but found that those schools of fish were still circling, not affected by them and those seabirds at all.

Seabirds couldn't eat them, at most they pecked them up and threw them back to the sea surface not long after. And every time they cast a net, they could only catch two or three hundred jin. For their school of fish of tens of thousands, it was just a drizzle.

They were like mice moving house, nibbling at this school of fish bit by bit. As long as they didn't run away, then of course they couldn't leave either.

Although everyone cast nets frequently and their arms were sore, at least there were many people who could take turns. Looking at the deck piled up like a small hill, the picking wasn't as fast as the pouring, and everyone was beaming with joy.

Everyone had several baskets already sorted beside them, and the deck was piled full. Ye Yaodong was worried that the sun was too big and it wouldn't be fresh if it was exposed to the sun, so he urged them to move the goods to the fish warehouse first, sprinkle some ice cubes to store them first, and then come out to pick slowly.

Anyway, the new two nets received, and then poured down, would also cover the fish that were originally exposed on the very top.

At the same time, he also had an idea in his heart.

He was a bit eager to try, wanting to go into the water to take a look at this jack storm. Anyway, he hadn't seen it before. He had only seen sardine storms and sea wolf storms. It was rare to encounter it. This kind of thing was also hard to come by. Some people could barely see it once in a lifetime.

He had also gone into the water many times, watched fish storms underwater, and had some experience. Generally, fish wouldn't hurt humans for no reason, and this kind of fish wasn't very big in size.

The most regrettable thing was that his camera couldn't photograph the scene underwater, and the movements on the sea surface were hidden and blurry. With the current camera, he couldn't photograph any pictures at all. Photographing was also a waste of film.

He took down the binoculars, squatted down and said to his father, "Dad, you guys pick here, I'll go into the water to take a look."

"Huh? You want to go into the water?"

"Yeah, I'll go into the water to take a look. It's rare to encounter a fish storm. I'll go see the scene underneath."

Ye Fu frowned, "So many schools of fish have formed a storm. Will there be any danger if you go down at this time?"

"No, I'll just watch from the side. The fish storm is just their own kind circling there, and it has nothing to do with me. Have you forgotten? Last time underwater, we encountered a sea wolf storm. Sea wolves with sharp teeth and fierce temperament didn't hurt humans."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. I won't go down directly. I'll take the air tube down to take a look, so I can stay a bit longer. And isn't this jack storm just staying on the surface layer of the seabed? It's not very deep underwater. I'll just go down to the three or five-meter position to take a look and that's about it. This is a shorter distance than going down to harvest sea urchins."

Ye Fu saw that he insisted, so he didn't say anything. After so long, he still trusted Dongzi's judgment quite a bit. Since he was sure, then whatever he wanted to do, let him do it.

"Then take another person down, two people have a companion."

"Alright."

As soon as Ye Yaodong raised his head, Chen Shi raised his hand and said, "Me, me, me..."

"Alright, then it'll be you. Come with me."

Ye Fu also stood up, stopped sorting, prepared to watch him go down, helped keep an eye on him, and wiped his hands on his body continuously, wiping them clean before taking the binoculars Ye Yaodong gave him.

"Then don't linger too long underneath. Stay for a while, take a look, and then come up."

"Got it."

"Don't go down too deep. I don't know how deep it can be underneath."

"Yeah..."

"You two don't get too far apart either, keep an eye on each other..."

Ye Yaodong was wearing flippers and a mask and those equipment, letting his father nag in his ear.

After putting everything on, he checked again. After there was no problem, he did a few chest expansion exercises, then made a gesture toward Chen Shi, and was the first to jump into the water.

Chen Shi also followed closely and jumped down. The two of them swam a few times on the sea surface, and after adapting, they sank to the bottom of the water.

"Sigh, a child is not controlled by the father. The ideas are getting more and more correct. Whatever he wants to do, he does. He can't be stopped..." Ye Fu said with a bit of emotion.

People on the side all persuaded him, "Adong is already so capable, it's normal to have some ideas. Without some ideas, how can he make money?"

"Yeah, just be content. Your son can make money and is filial. So what if his ideas are big? I wish my son's ideas were big, so I wouldn't have to worry."

"Adong is indeed bold, but if he isn't bold, how can he make money? How can he lead everyone to cross provinces to make money? Rest assured, it's not his first time going into the water, he'll just take a look and come up."

"Can the binoculars hanging around your neck really see things far away? Really or fake? Then isn't this the same as the clairvoyance in Sun Wukong?"

This remark hit Ye Fu's heart. He was also hooked and forgot to complain about his son, his face full of smiles piling up into lines of gullies.

"How can it be the same? This is binoculars. I heard that it was used for fighting before. It's not easy to get. Only Dongzi has a way to get it. Otherwise, we can't buy it here."

Everyone was envious...

Ye Fu suddenly seemed to be possessed by Ye Mu, chatting with everyone. When everyone didn't praise Ye Yaodong, he spared no effort to belittle him openly and praise him secretly; when everyone was helping to speak and praising Ye Yaodong fiercely, he had to pretend to be humble continuously, but in fact, he was as proud as he could be in his heart.

Not a family, doesn't enter a family. A couple will always be somewhat similar after staying together for a long time. Plus, there's no one who doesn't like to show off, and everyone likes to listen to people's praise and say good things.

After Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi went into the water together, he really didn't go down very deep, about four or five meters, and could clearly see the jack storm on the seabed.

I saw that in the clear blue seawater, tens of thousands of six-banded jacks gathered into a huge, flowing silver vortex.

They moved in unison, as if driven by the same will. They gathered into a cylindrical vortex, generally extending from the water surface to the bottom of the water, like a flowing galaxy falling into the deep seabed.

From his position, he couldn't see how many meters deep it went into the seabed at all. Everywhere his eyes could see were six-banded jacks rotating and swimming.

There were also quite a few fish swimming around them, making him feel like he was in it, with a stronger visual sense, as if he had also participated in their storm.

This was not only the ultimate visual enjoyment, but also brought him shock.

The sardine storm and sea wolf storm he saw twice before weren't being preyed on by big fish on the water surface, but were hunting other sea fish underwater.

During the sardine storm, he was just on the sea surface, incarnated as a predator, and only felt the shock of the moment when he went into the water to save people. However, that was only a short moment.

That was a seed, a seed buried in the bottom of his heart, making him have some curiosity about the underwater world, which led to the diving equipment on his body now.

And the last sea wolf storm, he was just on the edge of the storm, watching the predation of the sea wolf school of fish.

Now he was truly in the center of the storm, feeling the friendly interaction of these schools of fish.

If it weren't for the one or two nets cast down from the water surface from time to time, which frightened these fish and made them flee in a panic, the fish underneath would probably always be very leisurely.

Surrounded by countless life forms, feeling the vastness of the ocean and the rhythm of life, as if he had also become a part of this magnificent dance, experiencing the unparalleled power and harmony of nature, Ye Yaodong only felt it was really wonderful.

Sure enough, the ocean is magical. Various fish storms are a microcosm of nature showing its amazing creativity and ecological diversity. Every surge tells the story of life, making everyone lucky enough to witness it unforgettable.

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at Chen Shi, who was going into the water for the first time, watching him in the six-banded jack school of fish, so panicked that he almost forgot how to move his flippers. It was he who leaned closer and helped him, which stabilized his body.

But what was conveyed in Chen Shi's eyes was a look full of shock. If he were on the shore, he would have exclaimed long ago. At this time, his dumbfounded expression could also be imagined.

Ye Yaodong also looked at the scene underwater with surprise, reluctant to blink his eyes, only occasionally moving his flippers to keep himself floating in the school of fish.

Those six-banded jacks kept rotating, and there were some colorful small fish around, which were wrasse, circling around them, giving them skin cleaning.

They all understood the rules of the game. When I serve you, you are not allowed to eat me. But there are always unreasonable fish. When the six-banded jack's mouth is closed, that's another story.

He also saw small fish circling big fish for the first time, giving them fish therapy.

He had only heard of it before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.

There are many stories on the sea. When the boat workers gather together and are bored, they like to recall the past and talk about the strange things they have encountered. He has also heard too many strange things.

Asking him to repeat it, he couldn't tell how many for a while, but when he encountered it, he could always recall it sporadically.

The number of these six-banded jacks was very large, densely packed, in patches. Underwater, he couldn't estimate how many there were at all. Anyway, those wrasse couldn't serve these six-banded jacks at all.

Don't talk about one-on-one service, one-on-many wouldn't work either.

Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi both watched without blinking. After all, he had experience, and surprise was surprise, but it wasn't as shocking as Chen Shi.

Fortunately, he came down to take a look, otherwise he would have to slap his thigh in regret if he missed it.

Although the two of them didn't communicate, they both made up their minds in their hearts that they wouldn't go up until the last moment when breathing was difficult.

It was rare to encounter it, and they had entered and participated in their storm. No matter what, they had to feel satisfied. Who knows, it might bring a sublimation to the soul.

They didn't linger in place either. These schools of fish had no malice toward them, just surrounded them and swam. After the two of them stayed in the water for a while, they swam forward a bit appropriately and went deeper into their school of fish.

Feeling that they were surrounded by densely packed schools of fish, the two were even more delighted. Both reached out wanting to touch those fish, but as soon as they touched them, they fled in a panic.

If they didn't reach out to touch them, they would have the courage to swim around them and take the initiative to approach, but when they touched their bodies, they would still flee in a panic as usual.

The two seemed to have discovered fun, and simply swam around the school of fish.

Just when the two were appreciating the jack storm, two uninvited guests suddenly broke into it.

At this time, the six-banded jacks that were relaxing and resting no longer rolled up the jack storm. They all scrambled to swim toward those two big fish.

Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi also felt the fluctuation and restlessness of the school of fish, and both looked at the direction the school of fish swam toward with surprise.

It turned out to be two silver sharks.

Because the number of six-banded jack schools of fish was too large, the wrasse couldn't take care of every fish at all to give them fish therapy. At this time, the appearance of two silver sharks was particularly welcomed by the six-banded jacks.

The movement of the school of fish directly threw the two of them outside the school of fish. Originally, they were in it, and there were fish around them. Now it was empty, and those six-banded jacks all swam toward those two big silver sharks as if they had seen money.

The two didn't dare to step forward for a while, just stayed in place and watched.

Those wrasse saw big silver sharks coming and had long been scared to flee to the bottom. However, with silver sharks, the six-banded jacks didn't need wrasse to clean their bodies anymore.

The skin of silver sharks was as rough as sandpaper. The six-banded jacks only needed to rub against it, and the dead skin and parasites on their bodies would disappear without a trace.

Those silver sharks didn't swallow the six-banded jacks either. Seeing so many six-banded jacks surrounding them, the silver sharks were indifferent and continued to swim their own way, probably because they were full, so they weren't hungry.

And the six-banded jacks followed closely behind, just like following a big brother to collect protection fees.

In reality, they were treating the big brother as a scrubbing towel.

This method was more effective, faster, and more efficient than the cleaning of wrasse.

Tens of thousands of six-banded jacks took turns surrounding those two silver sharks to rub against them, taking turns to step forward to rub their skin to stop the itching.

Ye Yaodong and his group originally wanted to linger for a while longer, but they saw that the group of six-banded jacks actually followed the silver sharks and ran away, swimming farther and farther.

The length of their air tubes was also limited, and the two couldn't swim too far, so they could only watch helplessly as the school of fish followed the silver sharks and ran away.

He frowned and made a gesture toward Chen Shi, and the two slowly floated to the water surface one after another.

Ye Fu was lying on the side of the boat watching. Seeing them emerge, he hurriedly took a long bamboo pole and handed it to them, letting them hold it and pull them over.

Afraid that they wouldn't have the strength after staying in the water for too long, this could save some effort.

"The school of fish ran away, hurry up and come up, we'll hurry up and chase, we can still cast two or three more nets. Did you see the school of fish run away too?"

After Ye Yaodong climbed up, he took a breath, "Yeah..."

"Too too awesome, too too too beautiful, so so many fish, too too too spectacular, it it originally, under water, so beautiful."

Ye Fu looked at him with surprise, "Your stutter doesn't seem to be stuttering much?"

"Huh? No no no stut stut..."

Ye Fu rolled his eyes, "Just said you don't stutter much, and you're stuttering again. Forget it, better not say it."

Ye Yaodong looked at him curiously, "Is this cured by nature, and it's better for the most part?"

"Ah... I..."

"Don't be nervous. You weren't nervous just now, and you spoke quite well when you blurted it out. Slow down first, calm your emotions first."

"I'll go drive the boat first. Because of your delay, we won't be able to catch up later." Ye Fu couldn't listen to them muttering there. After people came up in a hurry, he immediately climbed into the cockpit, intending to drive the boat to chase the school of fish.

"Dongdong Dong brother... I... I don't stutter... anymore..."

"Still a little bit off. Talk more, and it will probably be better soon. Didn't expect that going into the water once, seeing a magnificent natural landscape, could also cure stuttering?"

Chen Shi scratched his head embarrassedly, "In in indeed, un under water, I I saw the storm you you mentioned, I was stunned, my brain was blank."

The boat workers on the side also joked with a smile, "If I had known that drinking a few more mouthfuls of seawater underwater could be better, you should have drunk a few more mouthfuls when you went to harvest sea urchins."

"Hahahaha..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the goods on the full deck and asked, "How many nets have you cast in the time from when I went into the water until I came up?"

After asking the question, he took the binoculars again, but saw nothing. The position was too low, and the sea surface was shimmering with dazzling sunlight, constantly reflecting light, stimulating his eyes so he couldn't see anything.

"Six or seven nets? They are all here. We moved a few baskets in. It was impossible to sort them at all. Two went into the water, two cast nets, and only two were sorting fish there."

Ye Yaodong nodded indiscriminately, didn't care, and didn't care that his body was still wet, so he directly followed and climbed onto the wheelhouse, and also put on sunglasses.

With sunglasses protecting his eyes, looking at the sea surface again was no longer dazzling. And with binoculars, although separated by lenses, it was better than before. Standing at a high place, he could also see more carefully, and he could also point out the direction for his father.

"Looking in the north direction, I see it's dark. Why didn't those black seabirds follow?"

"Can't eat much, right?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look behind him again. It turned out they were all flying and circling behind their fishing boat. It seems these birds are not stupid, knowing that following their boats has things to eat and won't be hungry.

"So they are all behind our fishing boat."

"It's rare to encounter a school of fish, chase first, catch as much as you can, if you can't catch it, then forget it."

"Just now two silver sharks came, otherwise these schools of fish wouldn't have run away. It was because they saw the silver sharks that they ran behind them."

"Not afraid of being eaten?"

"With such a large quantity, who knows if the one being eaten is oneself? But those silver sharks just now didn't eat these schools of fish. Probably their stomachs were full."

"It's a pity, only harvested one or two thousand jin. It should be able to sell for dozens of yuan, right? Haven't caught this fish, don't know if this fish is expensive in this season now."

"One or two mao is still there, can sell for more than a hundred yuan, still okay."

"Besides going into the water to see these schools of fish, did you have any other discoveries?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and looked at his father, "What do you mean? Do you think I went down to investigate the market? Excavated new species?"

Ye Fu said with a smile, "Don't you have some strange gains every time you go into the water?"

"You just told me not to go down too deep, just stay at the three or five-meter position underwater, and now you say why didn't I bring any surprises? Do you think I'm the son of Mazu? Can pick up treasures every day."

"Hehe, I can't be Mazu's husband..."

Ye Yaodong almost choked on a mouthful of saliva because of his father's words.

"Bold, this can't be said randomly."

"Hurry up and look, where did the school of fish run? The reflection on the sea surface makes me unable to see."

"Continue north. This is still near the sea. The water is too shallow. If the fishing net is put down, it will hang on the bottom, and the net can't be cast. These schools of fish are always moving. I don't know if we can still cast the fishing net when we chase up."

"Try your luck. If we can chase up and cast one or two more nets, it's also good. If not, then forget it. Anyway, follow behind, follow for a while first, and see if we can catch a little later."

Ye Yaodong didn't respond to his father, continued to watch the sea surface with binoculars, watching all directions and listening to all directions.
