Chapter 214: Swordfish attacks fishing boat
Before long, the swordfish that had just sped past rushed across again, and then gradually slowed down, actually twisting its long snout to shake off its prey not far from their fishing boat, and began to feast.
The father and son saw very clearly this time that there was actually a tuna stuck on its sharp mouth just now.
Ye's father looked at Ye Yaodong joyfully, "Dongzi? Is your cast net still on the boat? I'll go get it, you slowly move the boat closer, be careful of its sharp mouth, I heard that some people were pierced in the thigh by a swordfish that jumped up suddenly."
"I know."
Not only pierced in the thigh, he had heard many news about being pierced in the eyes, head, chest, and wooden boat bottoms up to 50cm thick by swordfish. This thing had a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, and even turtle shells could be pierced by it. Cheetahs were not as fast as it.
Just as Ye's father was happily taking out the fishing net from the cabin to organize it, Ye Yaodong was also slowly circling behind it to approach, but he didn't expect the boat opposite to also sail over.
It was too late, just as Ye's father was about to cast the net, the boat next door was prepared and threw the fishing net one step ahead. Ye's father was so angry he jumped.
"F*** their mother, they actually caught it one step ahead!"
Ye Yaodong also glared in anger. He was originally worried that the speed was too fast and the swordfish would be vigilant, and then it would directly attack the fishing boat, so he slowed down, but didn't expect to be one step ahead by them.
Only to see Uncle Awei spread the fishing net completely to cover the swordfish. He and his uncle were overjoyed and immediately pulled hard.
The father and son could only stare in anger, feeling sick in their hearts.
Only to see the swordfish caught by the fishing net in the distance struggling desperately, flapping wildly in the sea, and splashing large waves, even they were affected.
The nephew and uncle pulled the fishing net and started a man-fish fight with the swordfish. The tug-of-war on the sea was extremely intense. This swordfish was not small, visually estimated to be more than 2 meters, including its long mouthparts, definitely more than 100 jin, and it was still struggling violently, making it more difficult.
But under their hard pulling, the swordfish was still pulled to their boat side step by step.
Just at this time, the crazy swordfish directly inserted its long mouthparts into the boat side, and seawater instantly rushed into the boat. The nephew and uncle's pupils shrank instantly.
And the swordfish took advantage of the power of the boat side to break free from the fishing net and jumped back into the sea.
Once in the sea, the swordfish began to attack the fishing boat wildly, its sharp long snout constantly inserted into the hull, and seawater kept rushing into the boat.
Ye Yaodong and his father watched such a thrilling reversal and widened their eyes, saying in unison, "Holy crap!"
Suddenly, they saw another swordfish jump out in the distance, jumping more than 6 meters out of the sea, directly piercing a seabird flying above the sea, and the seabird fell into the sea instantly.
This swordfish actually swam toward their position after hunting. The rippling traces on the sea surface pointed directly at their fishing boat. Ye Yaodong was shocked and rushed directly to the diesel engine, deviating the boat from its impact trajectory.
Just at the moment their hull avoided it, the second swordfish's long snout inserted into Uncle Awei's boat again, and because of the impact of this swordfish, its snout couldn't be pulled out after inserting into the boat side.
Its whole body kept hitting the water surface wildly, just unable to pull its snout out, and the fishing boat shook violently, and more and more water entered the cabin.
Uncle Awei's uncle was already panicked and drove the boat back, attempting to avoid the swordfish's attack.
The father and son looked at the boat going away with some lingering fear. The second swordfish was still stuck on the boat side, while the first swordfish was still chasing behind the fishing boat and kept impacting.
Ye's father swallowed, and said dryly, "Fortunately we didn't catch it, let's follow and see..."
Ye Yaodong also thought of the Maritime Rescue Convention. If you encounter a distressed boat, you must rescue it immediately.
He drove the boat and followed with some reluctance, but afraid that the swordfish would turn around and attack their fishing boat, they just maintained a long distance, ready to escape at any time.
"Dongzi, be careful, don't get too close, just don't lose them."
"I know."
Ye Yaodong frowned and kept looking at the boat in the distance. They were really having bad luck. At this time, he sympathized with them. He didn't know if their boat could persist until reaching the shore under the attack of that swordfish.
If they were in this sea area and opened at full horsepower, it would take more than an hour to reach the pier.
Afraid that the fishing boat would sink halfway and the two would be in danger, Ye Yaodong didn't dare to be careless and kept following.
It was just unexpected that the boat in front didn't know if it had taken in too much water, the hull looked a bit sinking from a distance, and the direction the fishing boat was moving had deviated from the direction they were returning. It was highly probable that the people on the boat were already panicked.
Ye Yaodong drove the boat unhurriedly, still trailing far behind. They certainly wouldn't jump off the boat until the last moment.
If it hadn't deviated from the direction, the fishing boat might have been able to persist until reaching the port in the town. Now, it was highly probable that they could only wait for them to rescue.
After sailing for about ten minutes, a small island appeared around the sea area. Without a doubt, the fishing boat leaned directly toward the small island.
The father and son also breathed a sigh of relief and felt more at ease. Leaning on the small island was better than sinking the boat and jumping into the sea.
They also turned their direction and sailed directly toward the small island, and avoided the direction of the swordfish.
From far to near, this island didn't look small at close range. Uncle Awei's fishing boat had successfully docked. Although the hull had taken in water seriously, it had at least docked on the isolated island.
Today is the second day of the second lunar month, and it is 9 o'clock in the morning. It is currently in a low tide state. The terrain of this small island is not high, the seawater has only dropped a little bit, and the waves are still hitting the reefs.
The swordfish chased for a long distance but still relentlessly attacked the fishing boat, which shows that they are very vengeful and easily enraged.
The nephew and uncle saw Ye Yaodong's fishing boat sailing toward the isolated island from afar, and stood on the deck happily and cried with joy. They thought they were going to be wild people on the isolated island.
After tying the fishing boat to the reef, they didn't care that the swordfish was still attacking, and kept waving at Ye Yaodong on the boat.
During the process of the fishing boat sailing, Uncle Awei also took a stick and attempted to hit and stop the swordfish's attack, but in an instant, the swordfish rushed out of the sea, which gave him a fright.
Fortunately, the boat drove fast and avoided it. Otherwise, the swordfish's long snout would have directly stabbed him.
Now even if the boat docked, the nephew and uncle didn't dare to take tools to attack it, for fear of being stabbed through by mistake.
Ye Yaodong circled the boat in one direction and found a reef that was not so steep on the side of the island to dock.
Thinking about it, it seemed that when he came over just now, the boat over there had already sunk halfway because of the water, and it didn't move no matter how the waves hit it. He picked up his gloves and put them on.
"Dad, shall I climb over and see what the situation is over there?"
Ye's father frowned and looked at the steep reefs around, disapproving, "Don't climb, it's too dangerous. The stones here have been hit by waves for years and are very slippery. If you slip accidentally, it would be terrible if your head hits those shellfish."
"Let's wait a while. The swordfish also has limited physical strength. After chasing for so long and attacking for so long, it is estimated that it will give up before long. Anyway, the boat has already docked, they stay on the boat obediently, there will be no danger."
Ye Yaodong thought it made sense. Anyway, they had docked, so there was no rush, "Then let's wait."
They were not in a rush, but the nephew and uncle were anxious. Just now they clearly saw their boat also docking here, but now they didn't see a shadow.
Uncle Awei's uncle was anxious and shouted directly, "Ye Lao San, Ye Lao San, are you next to us?"
Ye's father heard it vaguely and responded loudly, "Yes, yes, you wait, if the swordfish doesn't attack, say something."
It wasn't a deep hatred originally, a little bit of contradiction was nothing in the face of life.
"Hey, alright."
After getting a definite reply, they were relieved.
Ye Yaodong felt a bit bored waiting, so he simply knocked and tapped on the nearby reefs, and dug a lot of big snails, wild small abalone, and gooseneck barnacles, and cow eyes.
As for mussels and sea clams, he was a bit lazy to pick them. There was a pile of dried mussels and dried sea clams at home that hadn't been eaten yet.
In the distance, he also saw sea chicken feet, but that position was a bit far from him, and it was too steep, and the waves kept hitting it, so he had to give up.
Seeing this, Ye's father also followed and dug and pried on the side. The father and son got two full buckets in a short while.
Just when they were excitedly wanting to dig a little more, there was a call from over there, saying that the swordfish had stopped attacking.
The father and son had to regretfully stop for the time being and drive the boat over.
Only to see the swordfish stuck on the hull still struggling in the water, trying to pull out its mouthparts, while the other swordfish was still lingering next to the fishing boat and hadn't left.
Both of them witnessed the ferocity of this fish with their own eyes. Besides being lucky, they still had lingering fears, and at this time they had no intention of provoking it.
Seeing that it was still there, they stopped again.
"F***, this fish is still here, and you called me over! Do you want us to be stabbed too?" Ye's father cursed.
Uncle Awei's uncle explained hurriedly, "We just saw it stop attacking and sink into the water, and thought it had left."
At this time, a wave rushed in from the distance, and this swordfish also swayed with the waves. It was estimated that it was a bit exhausted, and it was actually directly washed and stuck in the reef nest by the waves...
Only to see it struggling and swaying constantly, but it had just exhausted its physical strength, and its body suddenly couldn't jump up, unable to rush out of the reef nest, and could only hit the surrounding reefs wildly there.
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father's eyes suddenly lit up. They had originally given up and didn't want to provoke this fierce fish, but didn't expect it to be stuck in a groove surrounded by a few small reefs by itself.
"Dad, give me the fish fork, I'll climb over."
Ye's father looked at the nearby reefs and they were quite low, otherwise there wouldn't be that circle of reefs surrounding a small nest, and he was relieved, "Mm... you be careful, don't force it, stay far away, don't get stabbed by its mouth."
"Mm, don't worry, I will be careful."
