Chapter 1153

Looking from a high place to a low place, the line of sight was still quite good, plus with binoculars, he could still track that group of six-banded jacks.

Ye Fu also followed his prompt and kept chasing toward that group of fish.

Fortunately, the silver sharks that were full didn't swim fast, and the main force following behind didn't run very fast either. Fish shadows were moving on the sea surface.

The fishing boat drove over quickly, and after exceeding a section, it slowed down and stopped. The boat workers had long been prepared. As soon as the fishing boat stopped, seeing schools of fish swimming to the side, they immediately cast the organized fishing nets.

It was full again, two nets. It was just that when pulling the net, the schools of fish didn't stop at all, continued to move forward, and even shifted their fishing boat's direction, swimming to the side to transfer direction.

Because there were many fish goods, one net was full. They also needed time when pulling the net. By the time two nets were pulled up one after another and poured onto the deck, Ye Yaodong stood on the wheelhouse and looked with binoculars, but couldn't see the shadow of the school of fish.

Only knowing that it had just shifted to the side, he pointed to the direction casually, letting his father continue to drive in the direction he pointed, to see if he could find it again. If he couldn't find it, then he could only give up. The harvest brought to them by this wave of six-banded jacks could only stop here.

Ye Fu kept moving forward in the direction he pointed, but could never see the shadow of the school of fish again. And Ye Yaodong also took binoculars and looked everywhere in all directions, and could no longer see fluctuations on the sea surface. Even the seabirds were scattered, or flying around their fishing boat.

Don't know if it was because they were full, or because they were frustrated by not eating big fish, or because following their fishing boat had things to eat.

"Gone? Can't find it?"

Ye Yaodong took down the binoculars, "Can't find it. Either it ran far away or sank to the bottom of the water, and can't see the trace. You decide what to do, which direction and which coordinates to go, decide for yourself."

If only there could be a fish school detector installed, so that he could explore the situation under the ocean.

"If you can't find it, then forget it. The wave encountered just now shouldn't be small."

"I'll go down and take a look, or you drive the boat."

The deck was still full of fish goods. Some bolder seabirds still dived down, wanting to peck away big fish, but not once successful, and were all waved away by people.

When everyone was sorting the goods, they would also casually throw some small miscellaneous fish out to feed the seabirds, attracting them to fly down and snatch them.

Ye Yaodong watched everyone sorting goods there, squatted down to help sort, and also asked, "Do you have a count of about how many jin were harvested?"

"There should be more than 3000 jin, can sell for a good price."

"This is not yet at the place of fishing, and we harvested so much before we started casting the net, quite good..."

"Chen Shi's stutter is much better. It seems that schools of fish can cure stuttering?"

Chen Shi laughed, "No, it it was just too... shocking, the fi first time... I saw... the school of fish in the wa water, so many turning, at that time I couldn't say... words."

"Couldn't say it at the time, but can say it now."

"Yeah."

"It's a pity, we can't cast the net here yet, it's too shallow, otherwise we could catch some more remnants."

"Drive a bit farther and take a look. We can barely see jellyfish anymore, which means we are almost out of the near sea."

They were driving toward the sea area of the East China Sea now. In the past, they were all driving toward the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait, or toward the southeast coast.

Ye Fu was driving the fishing boat while using a compass to identify the direction of travel. In an unfamiliar sea area, he didn't dare to drive too far out. After calculating the time and feeling it was almost time, he called people to cast the net.

The nearby sea surface was boundless, endless, and couldn't see mountains and ranges, only the coastline on the horizon.

The Dongsheng was incomparably small in front of the vast ocean, like a grain of sand in the desert, inconspicuous.

The sunlight was scorching during the day, but the wind blowing on the sea surface was still very cool. After sorting all the goods, Ye Yaodong went back to the boat cabin to rest for a while, and others cast nets, cooked.

Take advantage of the free time to do what should be done. When pulling the net, there will still be things to be busy with.

Lying there, he didn't idle either, and was still thinking there that the sea trench was exposed, and probably not many boats would follow to make money next year.

After all, it's not as profitable as the past two years, only belonging to their few families to divide up. Now it's the whole city participating. It's a bit unworthy to fight to the death with the locals to earn this money.

If one trip could still earn a ten-thousand-yuan household, even if it was bloody, they might still feel it was worth it, because no one would think of themselves as cannon fodder, and would always fantasize that they were the chosen one who could laugh until the end.

However, it doesn't exclude that some people feel that it might be regulated next year and not so dangerous. Following over here is at least the fishing season. Even if they harvest one by one on the sea surface, it's still better than trawling at home to earn that little bit of money.

He thought about this and that, but felt that there was no need to worry about the people in the village next year. Everyone who should come this year has come, and they all know the location. They can arrange it themselves.

At most, wait until he becomes the vice president. When the time comes, if there are any relevant policies or other things, say it in advance. If there are any real difficulties, he will help if he should help. How can they be from the same village, so they should still huddle together.

If he comes over, he must also be very early.

Just now, it's impossible to finish harvesting the sea urchins in the sea trench in a month. Who knows how the weather changes? Even if it's sunny every day, he doesn't know how long the sea trench is. He can only move his nest bit by bit after harvesting in one area, and harvest as much as he can.

This trip out, he only planned to stay for about three days. If the fish warehouse was full, he would return immediately. With a few days of buffer, I guess the locals have almost tried it and given up.

When he goes back, that piece of sea trench will still belong to him.

If he can make big money in a near place, why should he abandon the near and seek the far?

Take advantage of the fact that it hasn't entered autumn yet, and the weather hasn't turned cool, try to go into the water as many times as possible, finish harvesting the sea urchins at the bottom of the sea trench, and who knows, he might be able to shift outward.

When coming next year, he won't be in the sea trench where jellyfish gather, but shift outward along the sea trench at the bottom.

At that time, everyone will squeeze in there to harvest jellyfish, while he only needs to harvest sea urchins easily outside, staggering with everyone, which is better.

He fantasized wildly for a while, thinking and thinking, and as a result, he fell asleep. He didn't even eat lunch. The boat worker wanted to go in to call him, but seeing him sleeping, he retreated.

Got up too early at night. After the meal, they also went to take a nap, and woke up just in time to pull the net.

All day long, except for the near shore, they didn't even encounter a fishing boat. The sea surface was lonely, with only their boat floating.

It wasn't that they hadn't headed out to sea in the past, but now, don't know if it was because they were in a different province, the fishing boat was floating alone all day, and night operations made them feel a bit terrified.

Usually, even at night, when they looked up, they could see the Fengshou. With two boats accompanying each other, it felt particularly safe.

Ye Yaodong slept during the day, so he automatically took over the first half of the night.

Just when he was driving the boat and slowly turning around on the sea surface to work, the two boat workers who were on the same shift as him ran up from the deck below.

He asked with doubt, "Why? The goods underneath are all sorted?"

"Sorted. There were only the two of us on the deck, feeling empty... a bit scared..." Chen Laoqi hugged his arms and rubbed back and forth.

Chen Shi also said, "Too... too dark... looking across the whole sea surface is... black, just... two lights up and down, scared."

Ye Yaodong originally didn't feel anything, having long been accustomed to the darkness, but hearing them say this, suddenly he also felt a bit terrible.

The darkness was like a giant beast with its mouth open. When they were driving and working, it felt like it was going to swallow their entire fishing boat, as if the fishing boat was going to drive into the dark night and disappear in the next second.

In the past, no matter what, there would be a Fengshou on the sea surface, looking at each other, looking not so lonely.

"What you two said is really a bit. Then you guys stay on the wheelhouse, and go down when it's time to pull the net. People, just can't be idle. Once idle, they will always have wild thoughts. When there is work to do, they can't take care of thinking about anything."

"Right, right, it's like this... just finished work, looked up... at the sea surface, heart... was panicked."

Just when Ye Yaodong wanted to say something, he saw the bow of the boat that was raised while driving, suddenly turning up blue waves.

And it wasn't just once, it was continuous.

The fishing boat was working continuously, which meant it was driving continuously. The waves splashing and hitting the bow were all blue, and hadn't changed.

He blurted out, "Red tide!"

"Red tide!"

"Waves... waves... blue..."

Ye Yaodong repeated it again, "Red tide is coming... it wasn't there just now, this is suddenly spreading over."

It wasn't just the bow. He looked at the side of the boat and the stern. The waves brought up by the driving were all blue. It was undoubtedly a red tide.

Red tide also has a very nice name called Blue Tears. This is a natural phenomenon. Didn't expect to encounter it here.

Encountered it at home two years ago, but it had no effect on them. Now it's different. He has to drive the boat back.

Don't know if these red tides will spread inward. Now he can only drive back first, work in a closer sea area first, generally can't go out anymore. Now it should be red tide outside.

"Red tide... is... what?"

Chen Shi had only been a fisherman for less than two years and hadn't encountered it, so he didn't understand much.

"Red tide is an ocean phenomenon. When looking during the day, the seawater is brown. When it comes to the night, when the waves roll, there will be blue light. Now the fishing boat is driving, and the waves washing naturally bring out blue light."

"Highly dense red tide organisms can block the respiratory organs of fish and shellfish, causing the death of a large number of fish and shellfish. These fish or shellfish poisoned to death by red tide continue to secrete toxins in the seawater, endangering the growth of other marine organisms."

"This thing looks good, but it's not a good thing. We can only temporarily leave this sea area with red tide now." Ye Yaodong explained and popularized it for him.

"Fishing net..."

"No need to pull immediately, don't worry, drive out first. It's also just encountered, no big problem."

"Looking... quite good..." Chen Shi curiously went down the wheelhouse directly, leaning against the side of the boat, looking straight at the bursts of blue light brought up by the waves on the side of the fishing boat.

Red tide generally appears more in summer. If it's too serious, it will also affect humans. If people mistakenly eat fish, shrimp, and shellfish affected by red tide, it may cause poisoning. Fortunately, he just encountered it, and going back is not a big problem.

It was just that he was working while going back, and there was still a fishing net dragging underneath, so the driving speed was slightly slower. Even if he drove back, the waves brought up were still glowing blue. After thinking about it, he simply called the two of them to pull the net.

Pull the net up first and then drive back. It's fine to cast the net again when there is no blue light.

Today they harvested quite well. Originally, they planned to trawl while going back tomorrow night, so that they would just reach the shore by the evening of the day after tomorrow. It was just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Now they can only go back first, go to a place without blue light to trawl and kill time.

Darkness, originally had a suffocating fear, suddenly added a few more points of weirdness because of this piece of blue light.

It was a bit curious when it first appeared. After watching it for a long time, it couldn't help but make people's hair stand on end. After all, the background in the darkness was black, and the fishing boat was now glowing blue again, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

Especially Ye Yaodong sitting in the cockpit, he could see the full picture of the fishing boat. The entire fishing boat was glowing blue, as if lifted by this piece of blue light, shining brightly in the pitch-black night sky.

He associated it with his rich imagination, and after shaking his body, he hurriedly shook his head, shaking some weird ideas out of his brain.

Blue Tears are also quite common in summer, but they are not common now. The marine ecology is generally better, and they appear less. And there was only their boat on the sea surface. The fishermen now are relatively superstitious, and it's inevitable that people will be a bit scared when seeing this phenomenon in the dark night.

The fishing net was slowly pulled up, and the fishing boat was also driving back. It was just that the blue light still existed. Until the fishing net was completely pulled up, the blue light faded a bit, and it was not so bright and dense, becoming relatively sparse, but it still had to continue to drive back.

It looks like the area covered by this wave of Blue Tears is quite large, and I don't know if it will continue to spread inward.

Ye Yaodong waited for the goods in the fishing net to be poured onto the deck, and Chen Shi and the two also pulled the fishing net that was still in the sea up bit by bit and threw it onto the deck.

After it was completely pulled up, he also accelerated the speed to drive inward, and by the way, shifted to the side, who knows if other sea areas were not spread.

It was just that until dawn, no matter where he drove the boat, it wouldn't be long before the bow could bring up blue waves.

At first, he would call people to continue casting nets, but after going back and forth twice, he also rested this mind, and focused on driving back.

Ye Fu and his group just got up, stretched, took a morning pee, and wanted to help sort the fish goods, but saw that the deck was a messy piece of fishing net, with no fish goods at all, looking a bit strange.

At this time, the sky was just showing a fish-belly white, the moon hadn't completely gone down the mountain, and the sun hadn't completely emerged.

"What's wrong? Why pull up the fishing nets and not working?"

Chen Laoqi explained, "We encountered red tide at night."

The three people who just got up exclaimed in surprise in unison, "Red tide?!"

"When did you encounter red tide?" Ye Fu looked at the sea surface, but felt that the seawater was very blue, and couldn't see the appearance of red tide at all.

"Five or six hours ago, when we discovered red tide, we originally wanted to go back a bit to see if we could avoid the red tide and continue working, but found that the seawater always had blue light, so we pulled the fishing net up."

"Dong... Dong brother said, this... wave, red tide, should be quite quite big, spreading... quite wide, originally... planned to... directly go back to the shore..."

"Going back just like this?" Ye Fu frowned, "Counting it, it's only been out for a day and a night. This day and night didn't earn much..."

"He said red tide came. The seafood at the bottom of the sea in this area might be affected. He thought about driving back first to see if there are any that haven't been affected and can trawl two more nets."

"This was originally, don't listen to Chen Shi saying half and leaving half. Just drove to this place and found no blue light. He just came out and shouted, letting us prepare to cast the net. We are organizing the fishing nets and preparing to put them down now."

"Then we can change a place and continue harvesting, it's all fine." Ye Fu felt relieved, anyway, it could be avoided, as long as it didn't affect them, it didn't matter.

After speaking, he also walked toward the wheelhouse, intending to replace Ye Yaodong, and by the way, ask a few more questions about the situation of the red tide at night.

"It's fine. Red tide was at night. It just happened that the fishing boat was driving and the waves were blue. I discovered it at the first glance, and then drove back, intending to find a place without red tide to continue harvesting, so as not to waste the fuel money for coming and going. It just happened that I found it just now. It doesn't look like it has been spread here, so it should still be able to trawl."

"Yeah, then leave it to me, you go rest."

"Alright."

Anyway, he had already found a place without red tide and could harvest. Leaving it to his father to watch was fine. He had stayed up all night and was indeed sleepy.

Swapped positions with his father, he went out, and his father went in.

Ye Yaodong stood on the wheelhouse, stretched fiercely, and by the way, took out the binoculars hanging around his neck to take a look, preparing to take a final look at the situation of the sea surface when returning to the boat cabin to sleep.

"Wait..."

He frowned, constantly staring at the sea surface ahead.

"Dad, come and take a look, that piece ahead is dark, come and take a look..."

Ye Fu heard him curiously, so he kept the boat moving forward at a constant speed, came out himself, and took the binoculars, "What is it?"

After he put on the binoculars and looked, he was also surprised himself, "What is that? A piece of black and white, seems to be drifting over."

Ye Yaodong also squinted his eyes and stared there. However, looking at the distance with the naked eye wasn't very careful. After all, the sky was just showing a fish-belly white, and the seawater on the sea surface didn't look blue. Generally, when the weather was good, the blue sky was reflected on the water surface, and the seawater would look blue.

"Don't know what it is. Wait a minute, I'll let them not cast the net first, pull it up first and take a look at what that is, so as not to be red tide spreading over again, and work in vain."

Cast the net in vain twice before. Now looking at the black and white dark piece ahead, it feels like it might be red tide spreading over. See the situation first before talking.

"Really unlucky, just headed out to sea..." Ye Fu complained.

"It's not unlucky either. After all, we encountered a school of fish yesterday. There's no way to deal with this natural phenomenon."

Ye Yaodong was quite open-minded. After all, he wasn't short of money now. Occasionally wasting one or two opportunities to head out to sea wasn't unacceptable. The harvest yesterday was quite good, and this trip out wasn't a loss. Going back like this now, although he couldn't earn much money, he wouldn't lose either.

He shouted at the bottom. Although the people at the bottom were confused, they also obediently pulled the net up again, but asked one more sentence.

"Is it red tide spreading over again?"

"Not sure, see first, anyway, pull it up first."

Originally, it wasn't completely put into the sea, so it was very simple to pull it up again.

After everyone threw the fishing net onto the deck again, they were suddenly idle again. Being bored, they also learned from the father and son on the wheelhouse and looked into the distance.

"Ah... what is that black thing?"

"What black thing, it's clearly white and a little black..."

"Doesn't... look like red tide..."

"What is that thing?"

It was just that after waiting for a while, the things in the distance drifted closer and closer. When everyone could see with the naked eye, they were all surprised.

And the father and son upstairs looked more carefully.

"Not... what is that big guy... the piece on the side should be a floating school of fish, right?"

Ye Fu watched Ye Yaodong muttering to himself, and his heart was also a bit itchy. He reached out to hook his arm, wanting to snatch the binoculars in his hand, but found it wasn't high enough.

"What big guy? Let me see, hurry up and let me see... Don't hog it, let me see too..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father helplessly, and handed the binoculars in his hand to him.

"The white thing seen from afar just now was the splashing waves. The black thing seems to be some big fish. Can't see clearly, can't identify the distance. The densely packed piece around also looks black, should be a school of fish."

Ye Fu was definitely excited again, "It's a school of fish! That big one is also a big fish. Tell them to prepare, I'll drive the boat over immediately."

After speaking, he stuffed the binoculars into Ye Yaodong's arms, and immediately went to the cockpit, preparing to drive the boat over.

Ye Yaodong hadn't looked twice with the binoculars before being urged by his father, letting him shout for the people at the bottom to prepare first, and he had to follow suit.

"You guys go and prepare the fishing nets. The piece ahead is a school of fish. We are going to drive the boat over now. You guys prepare in advance."

"A school of fish, no wonder..."

"Go, go get the fishing nets..."

It was just that after they were ready with the fishing nets, waiting to get close to the school of fish to cast, Ye Yaodong on the wheelhouse was surprised again.

"Wait, wait, wait... you guys don't move first..."

Without him saying, the people at the bottom also found something wrong. With the approach of the fishing boat, they suddenly found that the big guy on the sea surface was a bit different.

Seems very fierce, constantly tossing. The closer it was, the bigger the movement of tossing.

Ye Yaodong looked more carefully with binoculars, as if it were right in front. That big fish was indeed very fierce, and it didn't look the same. Its snout actually had a big saw as wide as a wooden board!

At this time, it was tossing on the sea surface and killing in all directions, constantly waving the big saw teeth in front of it. And the one it was cutting toward was also a big fish, looking like a shark.

"Dad... wait a minute, let's not get too close first... the school of fish over there is a bit wrong..."

After watching the big fish, he felt that the small fish around didn't seem to be the same either. They seemed to be dead, all floating on the sea surface, drifting with the waves instead of moving actively.

"Ah, what kind of fish is that... how come there is something like a saw..."

"That seems to be growing on the fish..."

"Damn, what kind of fish is this that grows so strangely..."

With the approach of the distance, Ye Yaodong saw it completely this time. That was a big sawfish!

Sawfish is also a kind of ray, which can also be said to be a kind of devil fish. Its body is very similar to a devil fish, but its snout is very different. It is a shape like a saw tooth, occupying half of the body.

Its long and flat saw teeth have beak teeth embedded on the edge, which is really very similar to the side of a saw with knife blades. Its body back is dark gray in the seawater.

It was just that a piece of red drifted through the seawater in the sea area ahead now. Probably that shark was beheaded by it, so the blood that gushed out dyed the water surface red. However, it was washed away by the seawater not long after.

Ye Yaodong said to his father, "That over there is a sawfish. It has a long, flat weapon like a saw on its mouth, like the long mouth tip of a sailfish or swordfish, but it's flat and wide."

"The piece of fish floating around seems to be dead, quite a large piece, and over there on the coastline, I feel the color of the seawater is quite deep. Don't know if red tide has spread over."

He watched all directions, not just staring at the school of fish and sawfish that were very close now, but also looking at the distant sea surface.

He suspected whether this school of fish in front was affected by red tide? So they all died, floated to the sea surface, and then were encountered by them.

If this was the case, then they really couldn't harvest this wave in front. Since a large piece died from red tide, then eating it into the human body would definitely be affected.

He wasn't a person who could lose his conscience for money.

"Then what to do?" Ye Fu asked him back, and by the way, slowed down the speed of approaching. He had already become the backbone now.

"Is the one in the distance red tide? Can these fish goods in front be harvested? That big fish won't attack the fishing boat, can we deal with it?"

"Take a close look and then decide whether to harvest these fish. That big fish shouldn't be a big problem. Wait until we get closer and throw the fishing net on the boat down to entangle it. Even if its mouth can cut the fishing net, but if its body is entangled, it will still be finished."

In just an instant, he had thought of a method in his brain.

He had a gun on the boat. After firing a few shots later, it would naturally have no ability to resist.

"This fish is alive, and its body is big, so don't worry about being affected by red tide."

This fish is so big, rare. It's also rare to be able to harvest it.
