Chapter 1183: Change a Fish

~17 min read 3,276 words

Just after solving the eel and shark connected by the head and tail, everyone's attention was attracted by the movement not far away.

I saw water splashing from time to time 60 or 70 meters away from their fishing boat, and several sharks seemed to be moving toward their side.

"The bloody smell is on this side... swam over..."

"What to do?"

"Just watch. The eel group just now didn't completely disperse."

Giant eels are also the natural enemies of sharks. Originally, the windy and rainy night is the time for them to come out to forage. At this time, it is raining in the sky, the sky is gray, and the visibility is not high.

"Then watch them fight?"

"Now it's windy and wavy outside, we originally have nothing to do, and can't go out, just stay here to avoid the wind, watch first. You first move the fish that have taken fish glue on the deck to the fish warehouse. In a while, it must be deadlocked there."

Ye Fu also hurriedly echoed, "Right, first move the fish that have taken fish glue to the fish warehouse, move these on the deck to my side, and save me from moving back and forth."

Everyone moved, only turning their heads from time to time to look at the sea surface that was constantly splashing.

"This eel is really quite heavy, never seen such a big sea eel before."

"Deep-sea big fish are many."

"No boat can go to the deep sea. Can't these fish grow bigger and bigger? No one can catch them."

"That's true. A few years ago, they could only row small boats to catch casually around the shore."

"I'll lift it and see. This is longer than me!"

Someone curiously buckled the eel's fish gill, lifted the fish with effort, and lifted the fish high above his head with effort. The fish tail still had a section on the deck.

"Haha, you are not as tall as a fish."

"Don't laugh at me, you are about the same, Chairman Ye might be able to be as tall as a fish."

"Hahaha!"

Ye Yaodong was also happy, actually not as tall as a fish.

Seeing that they all found fun, and were all holding a fish there and lifting it with effort, he also tried it.

"I'll lift it and see, see if these eels are taller than me."

He also buckled the fish gill and lifted it slowly, "Damn, really heavy. This is not a sea eel, this is a big python, thick and long."

"Adong's waist strength is quite good, practiced a lot, haha~"

"Hahaha~"

Everyone had deep meaning and burst into laughter there.

Ye Yaodong lifted the fish over his head and also smiled and said, "Looks like I am not as tall as a fish."

"Anyway, it's tested that everyone's waist strength is quite good, haha~"

"Haha~ This fish should be two meters."

"Pity, it's raining, otherwise we could take a group photo for our Chairman Ye."

"Can wait until it's sunny, just don't know how many days this typhoon will last."

Speaking of this, everyone had no smiling face again. Still don't know how many days they will be trapped here. Although there is food and drink on the boat, otherwise they will really be finished.

Ye Yaodong threw the fish he was holding to his father and let him take fish glue.

"It's already November. In previous years, there weren't any big typhoons at this time, and the weather is already cold. I estimate it will only affect us for two or three days before it passes. It's also because we are at sea; if we were on land, there might not even be any impact, maybe just a bit of wind."

"Right, it is estimated that it will pass in two or three days at most."

"You first check the deck, seems like there are a few bullet holes."

The deck was covered with eels, and they couldn't check it. Now that they were moved away, the holes on the deck still looked quite obvious.

"Just a layer on the deck surface, should it be okay? Isn't it iron skin outside?"

"Check it first."

If the bullet only penetrates the local area of the deck and does not damage any key structures or systems, such as the hull, engine, fuel tank, steering gear, or water pump, then the problem is not big, and it can still continue to sail.

The small holes on the deck can be temporarily blocked to prevent water from seeping in.

Everyone checked it, found all the small holes, and then thought of ways to temporarily block them so that water wouldn't penetrate.

This trip back will have to be repaired.

"Seems like there is no movement over there?"

After being reminded, everyone looked up at the sea surface one after another.

"Finished fighting?"

"Is it over?"

"Probably finished fighting, so retreated."

"Pity... if all were beaten to death and floated up..."

Ye Yaodong also saw that there was no white water splashing on the sea surface, and also regretted it. If the shark dies, it will only "shark fall", which is extended from the concept of "whale fall".

Because it has no fish bladder, its buoyancy mainly relies on a large amount of oil in the liver, as well as the dynamic lift generated when they constantly swim, so the shark doesn't rest, and it is still swimming even if it sleeps.

Once it stops swimming, the average density will be higher than seawater, and it will only sink to the bottom, so the shark only stops swimming when it dies, and then falls into the sea.

The eels that died will float up because they have fish bladders and can control the amount of gas in the body to control buoyancy.

Just when he thought so, there were really eels washed in by the waves in the nearby sea, but not many, only two, and the others should have been swallowed or ran away.

Although sharks are not as flexible as eels, if the quantity is large, eels can't get cheap.

After the seawater sank and floated, letting the fish drift to a position that could be reached, he let them take a hand-copy net to fish.

Fortunately, there were two more.

"Did you count how many were harvested in one night?"

"Seems like 40 or 50? Didn't count carefully."

Ye Fu was washing fish glue and said, "Wait until I wash these fish bladders clean and hang them up to dry, then I will know how many there are."

"Oh. Then you repair the deck first, this is the top priority, handle it and then go to sleep. Now it's just dawn, the rain hasn't stopped, the waves outside are also big, we can't go out either. I stayed up all night, eyes haven't closed, can't hold on, go to sleep first, you all go back to make up for sleep after finishing."

"Good, you go to sleep first."

"We repair, you go to sleep first, you stayed up all night, hurry up and make up for sleep."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sea surface, and looked at the sea island in front. There was no abnormality, just the waves were a bit bigger, and the white water flowers and foam brought up by the constant hitting of the reef were brought up. He went to the cabin.

The clothes were soaked through. He also took them off, wiped them casually, changed into shorts, and looked at Aqiang's leg injury, and then slept.

This sleep was exceptionally good; the fishing boat swayed like a cradle, and the sound of the waves surging was something he could hear even in his dreams, gradually getting used to the rhythm and sleeping more and more deeply.

When he woke up, there were people on other beds. Everyone's snoring was one after another, and it was mixed with Aqiang's painful groans.

The cabin was pitch black. He waited until he walked outside before looking at his watch. It was already after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He went to sleep at nearly 7 o'clock. Counting it up, he slept for more than 8 hours.

At this time, although it was already after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky outside was gloomy, and it was still raining lightly. Those who didn't know thought it was 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening.

The biggest light was the white flowers brought up by the sea waves hitting the reef.

Looks like another day is about to pass like this. Don't know how tomorrow will be.

He moved to the compartment and turned over the pot lid, and found that there were leftover rice and seafood. He boiled a pot of water. After it opened, he threw the leftover rice and seafood together to heat and soak, and dealt with it casually.

Then he cooked the rice again. Don't know what time these people slept. Now there is nothing to do, eat when it is time to eat.

After eating, he had nothing to do, so he had to stand at the door again, looking at the sea surface.

Suddenly he thought, don't know if the Fengshou is at sea?

The Fengshou had just returned the day before he set off. At that time, he said he would go out to sea to contact him in a day or two. Later, there was no contact.

However, on a typhoon day, it is definitely impossible to contact at sea. He just straightened his body, and let out a breath again, continuing to lean against the door, smoking and looking at the sea surface, and paying attention to whether the rice in the pot on the side was cooked.

"Sigh~ This time it's really trapped. Don't know how many days to wait. Start eating porridge tomorrow, save some rice."

He stood from after 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. The sky turned from gloomy to pitch black.

There was movement in the cabin, and someone got up. He looked back and let them go to eat first.

After a while, others also woke up one after another.

Everyone was discussing how many days to wait for the wind and waves to pass, and to go back.

Slept for a whole day, and didn't need to sleep at night. One by one, they were energetic and chatting. If the cabin space wasn't too small and it was raining outside, it is estimated that they could form a game of cards.

Just when everyone was bored, a wave rolled up, causing everyone to exclaim.

If it were really just waves, it wouldn't be strange. He stood at the door, and big waves surged up from time to time. Everyone saw it after waking up, and some people even went to the deck to check.

What made everyone exclaim was that the waves just now rolled up deep-sea giant eels again!

"Ah, there are... there are..."

"There are big eels again..."

"Coming again at night..."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, I just saw one, hurry and solve it..."

Everyone just woke up, one by one was bored and couldn't sleep, and had endless strength. Seeing that there were sea eels rushing up, they hurriedly took tools one after another.

However, seeing the bullet holes on the deck in the morning, Ye Yaodong didn't dare to take the gun again. Everyone could only take the sharp end of the stick and keep inserting its head, or beat it to death together with force.

Fortunately, they didn't sleep, and found it early, so there were only two, unlike last night, when many came at once, and they were in a hurry and not easy to handle.

Everyone rested enough during the day today, and didn't need to rest halfway at night. Just beat it to death and take a breath during the free time, waiting for the next wave to send it up.

This can probably be considered tension and relaxation?

Everyone could chat and laugh during the gaps.

"Beat one when one comes, beat a pair when two come."

"If we found it earlier last night, we wouldn't be so embarrassed. Look at this night, it's quite easy to beat, right?"

"Who says no, occasionally a wave sends one up, at most three or four."

"Haha, too many came up at once, I even used a stick to flirt, let it follow the seawater back to the sea, and let it come up next time."

"Right, right, take it slow, don't worry. If there are too many, can't handle it. It will be very troublesome if bitten."

"Right, there is still a whole night until dawn, can slowly beat."

"Stand firm, there are waves again."

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that it was so easy to beat tonight?

Everyone beat and rested, continuing until the sky turned fish-belly white. One by one, they were still energetic, unlike the exhausted appearance of being about to fall down yesterday.

"If last night was like today, now the sky is a bit bright, insist a bit more and can go to eat and rest."

"Chairman Ye said, insist a bit more, and can eat immediately."

"Hahaha~"

Killed so many last night, everyone was in high spirits, and it was about to end, and they could still tease a few sentences.

"We slept enough during the day yesterday, and ate enough after waking up, so these are small things at night."

"Right, don't know if there will be any tonight."

"Haha, after eating, everyone go to sleep well, and crawl up to see in the evening."

"Don't know if this typhoon is good or bad. Although trapped here, still can catch fish and earn money."

"I think it's a good thing. At least can sleep well. At most, it was a bit terrified at the beginning. It will be fine after the typhoon passes."

"Sigh, rained for a whole night again, don't know when it will stop."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and said, "Change Aqiang's medicine later and sleep. Now don't know when to go back. Fortunately, there are hemostatic herbs on the boat."

"He is the most unlucky."

"Don't be afraid, can recover after going back, and wages are still paid while lying on the bed, think about it and it's quite cool."

"Then you be bitten by this fish and see?"

"That's still forget it, still work and earn money, suffer less of this crime. When sleeping, still heard him wailing there, estimated that really can't sleep."

Normally, it takes a week to half a month before and after being affected by a typhoon, depending on the path of the typhoon.

If it just passes by, it will be faster. There may be no impact on the shore, but at sea, it basically takes this time for the waves to calm down.

He estimated that this is just a small typhoon passing by, estimated that it will be trapped here for two or three days, and don't have to wait for the waves to calm down completely. As long as it is not as big as now, and can go, just hurry back first.

This position is estimated to be three or four hours away from the city. Originally, it was the 4th day when it was affected, and it was already planned to drive back.

"Rest. There have been several waves without fish rolling up, only seawater."

Ye Fu sat in the corner and shouted, "Drag a few to me first. It's full again, and there is no position. Hurry up and move to the fish warehouse, otherwise, don't move the ones I handled back to the sea when the waves hit later. Lost several at night, fortunately fish glue was taken."

"Those who still have strength first help handle the fish on the deck, and those who have consumed too much physical strength first rest."

"Not so tired. After talking for a while, everyone rested enough, hurry up and continue, finish and eat."

"I'll go cook, and it will be just time to eat after finishing."

Now everyone is eating the goods in the fish warehouse, and there are quite a few harvests on the day of the wind and waves, otherwise, they still have to catch them now.

Everyone helped handle and move the giant eels on the deck, and Ye Yaodong also helped take fish glue.

Many people have great strength. After a while, they were all handled.

He counted the fish bladders and knew that 52 were beaten last night.

46 were beaten last night, adding up to 98, which can be considered a rich harvest.

These deep-sea giant eels are 30 or 40 jin each, counting up to more than 3,000 jin. One jin can sell for five or six mao, and can be worth two thousand yuan.

There is also more expensive fish glue.

It only took two nights to harvest so much, worth it.

He felt some expectation for tonight again, hoping more would come tonight; anyway, it was a long night, and everyone was bored after sleeping enough during the day, so it would be just right for more to come and deliver their heads and money.

Others thought so too.

So after eating and drinking enough, one by one went to sleep, and when the time came in the evening, they all actively climbed up.

Who knows, after one by one walked to the deck, they were all dumbfounded.

"Spanish mackerel?"

"So many Spanish mackerels?"

"Are they all big Spanish mackerels?"

"Oh, we missed it while sleeping?"

"So many Spanish mackerels were rolled up by the waves?"

"What's the situation? Hurry, hurry, first receive these into the cabin, it's going to be dark, don't come for another wave of giant eels."

After Ye Yaodong said this, everyone immediately moved, fearing that giant eels would fall from the sky later.

At this time, everyone had no place to stand. If they didn't handle it quickly, it was estimated that a part would be brought back to the sea by the waves. This is all money.

"Go get the basket, get the basket quickly, and lift it in later."

"These Spanish mackerels are big..."

"Hurry up..."

Everyone was in a hurry to move these Spanish mackerels that appeared out of thin air on the deck to the cabin first.

The Spanish mackerels on the deck were not many, and not few. One was 20 or 30 jin. One basket couldn't hold a few. He visually estimated that there should be dozens.

Pity, didn't pay attention while sleeping during the day. This is no way. Tired for a whole night, it is inevitable to rest during the day.

After moving these Spanish mackerels to the cabin, everyone took tools and waited on the deck.

As a result, waited left and right, and just thought about whether there was no play tonight.

"Seems like it's gone?"

"What time is it, Adong?"

"Two nights in a row, estimated to be gone?"

He touched the pocket inside his raincoat and looked, "It's almost 8 o'clock, no even if no..."

"Wait a while, anyway, it's idle."

"Right, slept enough during the day, wait a bit later, maybe there is? If you don't see it, it's a pity to be brought to the sea by the waves again."

At this time, the sea waves at the stern tumbled, and a wave brought up a pile of black fish mixed in it.

"Coming, coming, there is fish..."

"Saw it..."

"It's Spanish mackerel!"

"Spanish mackerel again..."
