Chapter 201: Mirage

Today's weather is relatively gloomy, and the fishing boat is sinking and floating on the sea, like a natural cradle, suitable for sleeping, but it would be better if there was no noise from the machine in the ears.

He squinted half-asleep and half-awake, until he heard the exclamations of his big brother and second brother, and then he opened his eyes in a daze.

"There really is a big catch, these few yellowtail fish are so big!"

"Each one should be over 20 jin."

"There are quite a lot of sword shrimp in this net..."

Ye Yaodong listened to the excited voices of his big brother and second brother, closed his eyes and twisted his neck, and only after relaxing did he open his eyes and walk towards them. He saw a pile of fish and shrimp scattered on the deck, and a few yellowtail fish of considerable size were still swinging their tails.

"Pretty good luck, caught 4 yellowtail fish over 20 jin in one net."

Ye Yaopeng said happily: "Indeed, didn't expect to be able to have a sip of soup."

"Big brother, you clean up, I'll continue to put down the net."

The two brothers had been working together for a few days and could already divide the work well.

Yellowtail fish, scientific name Seriola, also known as yellowtail, peace fish, etc., is mainly distributed in the sea areas south of the RB Sea and Wanwan, with delicious meat and rich nutrition.

Ye Yaodong squatted there watching his big brother sorting, remembering that he forgot to tell them about the bait.

The bait bought two days ago wasn't used and was stored at Acai's place. It was used yesterday, but there would be a rest period of ten days or half a month, so there was no need to buy bait for the time being.

And looking at his big brother and second brother's interested appearance now, it is estimated that they would keep the small fish and shrimp from dragging the net to use as bait themselves.

"Are you going to make longlines when you go back?"

Ye Yaopeng said with a smile: "Just discussed with Ahua, let's make three or five hundred to try first."

"Then the small fish and shrimp from dragging the net are just right to be used as bait."

"Hmm, that's exactly what I thought."

Alright, then he could only let Acai earn the money.

He had nothing to do on the boat, his hands couldn't be lifted, and he couldn't help, so he could only sleep. After waking up, he looked at the fish they caught, and then looked at the vast sea.

Asking his big brother and second brother to specially send him back was impossible, and he wouldn't open his mouth either, it would delay things too much. Originally, the time available to go to sea in a month was only about half a month, and there was diesel cost for going back and forth. Anyway, he was idle, so it didn't matter if he stayed on the boat for a day or two.

After sleeping and waking up for most of the day, he couldn't sleep anymore. Just as he was supporting his chin and leaning against the ship's side in a daze, a mirage actually appeared on the sea ahead.

He instantly cheered up and looked over, and reminded Ye Yaopeng who was still sorting the fish.

He had been sailing for many years and had seen mirages many times, but he found that this mirage was a bit rare.

It was actually not a building, what appeared was a tsunami!

And it was a moving tsunami!

In the picture in mid-air, huge waves were set off on the sea, giant waves were surging, and waves were rolling in bursts. They were far away, but they seemed to hear the sound of waves hitting, and there was a fishing boat on it blown by the wind and waves like a leaf, rising and falling in the waves.

The three brothers watched the picture on the sea in shock. It wasn't that they hadn't seen mirages, but aren't mirages generally illusory and static buildings?

Ye Yaohua, who was driving the boat, hurriedly slowed down the speed of dragging the net. It was a rare picture, and the three of them stared at the mid-air in the distance.

Only to see that fishing boat drifting with the waves on the sea, giant waves several stories high threw the fishing boat to the crest of the wave one moment, and pushed it to the bottom of the valley the next.

Suddenly, the fishing boat showed a center of gravity shift, the hull began to tilt to the left, and with the raging of the big waves, it instantly reached 90 degrees, the fishing boat began to sink, and the seawater quickly swallowed the hull...

The three of them watched as if their throats were pinched, unable to make a sound, their body hair standing on end. That magnificent picture seemed to be happening right in front of them, but they couldn't see whether there were personnel on the boat at all.

Until the hull was completely submerged, the waves were still raging and whistling, and the giant waves were rolling, as if they were about to pour down from mid-air, submerging their fishing boat...

With the advance of their fishing boat, hazy fog gradually appeared on the distant sea, and the water vapor in the air was also increasing.

The mirage of the raging waves was still floating in mid-air and had not disappeared...

"We change direction, it's foggy ahead, we'll go back early for this net dragging." Ye Yaopeng said decisively.

"Okay, Dongzi, what time is it?"

"Almost three o'clock."

"Then go back early, so as not to let the fog spread, the visibility on the sea is too low, easy to hit the reef."

The fog on the sea spread very quickly, and it didn't take long before it permeated over.

Except for Ye Yaohua, who was seriously driving the boat and identifying the direction, Ye Yaodong and his big brother's eyes were still staring at mid-air, reluctant to leave.

But now there were only waves in the picture, no boat...

Ye Yaodong felt regretful in his heart, if only there was a camera to take a picture and record this picture. I don't know if this picture really existed, or if it was a phenomenon of light refraction.

At this time, he remembered a news broadcast he saw in his previous life, where mirages appeared three times in a row in the Peng area, and the longest time even reached 6 hours. While people feasted their eyes, they found that the buildings in the picture did not exist on the earth at present.

Therefore, some people suspect that the pictures in the mirage are not things that happened on earth at all, but scenes in a parallel universe.

The environment there may be similar to the universe environment we are in, and it is even possible that it is exactly the same.

Specifically to each person, that is to say, there may be another self in another parallel universe, but the specific evolutionary stage may be different.

In other words, some universes may have developed to the 22nd century, and some universes may still be in the 80s.

Ye Yaodong associated it with himself, his thoughts mixed.

The fishing boat continued to drag the net in the opposite direction of the mirage, until an hour later did it lift the net.

At this time, the fog on the sea was also permeating more and more severely, and the mirage in mid-air was gradually covered by the fog, fading out of their field of vision.

Ye Yaodong also packed up his mood. As an ordinary person, he couldn't explore, but he could choose to cherish his current life well.

With the last net of fish catch lifted early, they didn't care about being happy about the net bursting again, and immediately drove the boat back. The water vapor around was too heavy, and they could clearly feel it when breathing.

The sea behind them was already white, and the surrounding fog began to permeate. They turned on all the flashlights and headlamps, carefully identified the direction, and seized the time to return.

The weather on the sea changed too much. Although the weather was relatively gloomy in the morning, it was only because the cloud layer was thick. Didn't expect it to be foggy in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the net burst continuously today. Although the last net was collected early and it took some time to help him collect the longline in the morning, the harvest was still quite good.

Not long after the return journey started, the wind picked up on the sea again, the strong wind blew the fog to permeate faster, the visibility on the sea was getting lower and lower, and the speed of the fishing boat slowed down.

Fortunately, there was no danger, the fishing boat successfully entered the coastal sea area, and the looming mountain peaks around were all familiar to them, and the three of them were relieved.

When the boat drove to the sea area where Ye Yaodong put the ground cage, they stopped the boat by the way to help him collect the goods from the ground cage.

"Dongzi, you are going to recuperate next, so do you want to collect these ground cages back?"

"Hmm..."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that it was too wasteful to collect the net and put it away. Throwing it into the sea and going to collect some seafood to eat every day or two was quite beautiful. He couldn't go to collect it, but he could ask Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao to collect it. The goods collected could be divided and eaten by everyone as side dishes for drinking.

"Leave it there. If you have time, go and collect some goods to bring back to eat. If you don't have time, I'll ask others to collect it. Everyone can share a little bit after collecting it back."

Just earned a big sum of money, he was still quite generous, after all, it was also going to trouble relatives and friends.

"Hehe, that's fine, then throw the cage into the sea. We'll come to help you collect it when we have time."

"You guys look at it and handle it. Anyway, I can't use my strength. I won't go to sea recently. Don't waste it."

The ground cage was thrown into the sea for two days, and the harvest was quite considerable. Fish, shrimp, and crabs were all not few, all in the bucket, totaling more than 30 jin.

He picked out that tiger grouper separately, and more than ten big conchs, planning to send them to Lin Jishang later.

Originally, two pond geese were left yesterday, and he originally planned to cut half to send to him, but the consideration was not comprehensive, and he found that it was not enough to divide, so he could only prioritize his own family first.

This tiger grouper was also good, about three jin, plus more than ten big conchs, it was decent enough to send over. People by the sea all know the goods.

The children in the family all love to eat shrimp, so he left two jin of big sword shrimp separately, and the three brothers each shared one of the three single-legged green crabs.

In addition, he picked out two big red paste crabs, planning to send them to his father later, let him and the old lady eat one each to supplement, green crabs are just right for strength, and other fish catches were also put in a separate small basket.

Small fish and shrimp were left to be dried, and others were put together with the longline goods, and sold directly after docking.

At this time, many ships had already docked on the shore, all because they rushed back due to the fog, and there were many ships behind them returning one after another.

Fishermen really rely entirely on the weather to eat, high risk, and unstable income, but relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, there is no way, and he doesn't have extra smart brains.

With the help of his big brother and second brother, all his goods were weighed and sold. He also asked Acai by the way when he could get the money for the batch of goods sold yesterday?

That was a lot of money, the sooner it enters the pocket, the sooner he can be at ease.

After he confirmed that it would be three days later, he returned with peace of mind.

Today, his longline fishing goods and ground cage net were sold together for 58 yuan, and his big brother and second brother's harvest was also quite good, selling for more than 62 yuan, which was more than ten yuan more than their usual net dragging. Both of them were extremely happy, and today was considered returning early.

After they moved the ten baskets of longlines on the boat and the fish catch they kept to the flatbed cart, they went home talking and laughing.

Originally, the relationship between Ye Yaodong and his big brother and second brother was very average, indifferent, and there was little daily communication. In the past few months, the brotherhood had become much more harmonious. ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
