Chapter 431: Do animals also have spirits?
Ye Yaodong stood on the shore and watched for a while. The waves kept rushing up, going back, and rushing up again. They looked bigger than at night.
There were also many people in the village who ran to the shore early in the morning to watch, and some ran outside the wharf to watch. They were discussing in twos and threes, is a typhoon coming again?
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, as well as the neighbors next door, were also watching the waves on the side.
"It seems like no typhoon has come this year..."
"It has come, it was published in the newspaper, but it didn't pass through here, it went to Guangdong Province, and we were not affected."
It was published afterward, and it was still a small corner. He almost had to use a magnifying glass to find it.
"Then it didn't pass through us, why call it coming? This time it must be a typhoon," said Lan Da next to him.
"Should be, the wind started yesterday afternoon. I don't know if we will be affected this time?"
"Definitely affected, the waves are rolling there, just don't know if it will pass through us, and how big the typhoon is?"
Ye Yaodong thought of the big whale shark he encountered yesterday. His nerves were too tight, and his mood fluctuated too much, so he came back without even collecting the longline fishing. Now the longline fishing and ground cages are still at sea.
Now that a typhoon is coming, he must go out to sea to collect the longline fishing and ground cages. For the sake of safety, he also has to drive the boat to the shelter.
He turned to look at his eldest brother and second brother, "When do you plan to drive the boat to the shelter?"
The two hesitated for a while, and Ye Yaopeng said, "It's not certain whether a typhoon is coming now. We plan to wait and see. If the wind and waves are still very big in the evening, it won't be too late for us to drive to the shelter."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I have to go out to sea to collect the nets. Didn't Dad come over this morning?"
"He went to look outside the wharf, he should be in soon."
"Oh."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and went into the house to tell Lin Xiuqing. He planned to go out to sea now to collect the ground cages and longline fishing. If it was delayed, the wind and waves would be bigger, which would be more dangerous. Who knows when the typhoon will come?
At this moment, he saw that there were already two or three boats drifting on the sea, which should all be out to collect nets.
Lin Xiuqing followed him worriedly, sent him to the door, and looked at the distant sea, "Then be careful, go early and return early, don't delay too long."
"Hmm, no accidents, come back for lunch at noon."
After Ye Yaodong said a word, he walked directly outside the wharf.
The fishing net was broken, and his mother didn't have time to mend it yesterday. He originally planned to collect the longline fishing today and try using remora to fish. Anyway, he couldn't trawl. Now he can only continue to keep it at A-Cai's place and take it out to sea in a few days.
Ye's father was discussing the wind and waves today with everyone outside the wharf. Everyone said that a typhoon must be coming. Although the sun was shining brightly today and it didn't rain, the wind and waves outside the wharf were much bigger than the wind and waves at the door of their new home.
He planned to go in and call Dongzi to take advantage of the fact that he could still withstand the wind and waves, go out and collect the nets that should be collected, and also tell the eldest and second to stop the boat at the shelter.
The two happened to meet and hit it off. Ye's father went out with him first, and let someone remind Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua.
The ground cage nets were along the coast, so Ye Yaodong went to collect the ground cages first. There were only four rows in total, and it was quick to collect them.
There are a lot of goods in this season. Spring and summer are the spawning periods for many sea goods, plus the waves are big, so the four rows of ground cages were full, and several nets exploded. More than 30 catties of swimming crabs were collected, and at least half of them were red paste.
The father and son were very happy, and they had a few more expectations for the longline fishing they were going to collect outside later.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that when they just collected the longline fishing, a behemoth suddenly appeared on the distant sea. Ye's father was surprised when he saw it.
"Dongzi, Dongzi..."
Ye Yaodong had just collected a bomb fish of more than ten catties, and was happy that there were big fish in the wind and waves, intending to ask his father to take over the row hooks and he would go to bleed it, when he heard his father's surprised call and felt him patting his shoulder.
"What for? Wait for me to untie this bomb fish, you come to collect the line, I'll go..."
"No, yesterday's whale shark..."
"Ah!" Ye Yaodong turned his head in surprise, "Holy crap, why is it still here, didn't it go to the deep sea?"
Ye's father stared at the fish that was gradually swimming toward them without blinking, and felt puzzled in his heart.
"Is it because of the typhoon?"
"It's really possible, maybe it can't find the direction? Holy crap, fortunately it's big enough, no boat in the near sea can catch it."
"It's swimming over..."
"Don't worry about it for now, let's collect our line. Maybe it's just passing by, or it can't find the way and has been wandering around."
"It's a pity, those people from the newspaper office have already left. If they had followed us out to sea today, they could have taken a very clear picture."
"No way, no such fate," Ye Yaodong handed the row hooks in his hand to his father, "You collect first, I'll go bleed this bomb fish. This fish is the biggest one caught today."
"Isn't there a bigger one over there? No need to catch it, maybe it will come over familiarly later."
Didn't expect his father to tell a cold joke, it was really cold...
However, speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
That fish really swam over slowly after a while...
On the basis that the two people and one fish could be considered to have some friendship, the father and son didn't turn around and run away immediately this time, but waited calmly in place and continued to collect the line.
Because it was windy and wavy yesterday, the probability of empty hooks on the longline fishing today was reduced by half. Just after collecting two baskets of hooks, they also collected two baskets of fish goods, one of which was full of turbot of one or two catties. The two were busy, and only divided a little bit of heart to look at the whale shark swimming over.
Ye Yaodong glanced at the harvest beside him, which was quite rich, and his heart was a little lifted. Don't let this fish come over to beg for food again? He couldn't afford such a big fish. Yesterday he returned empty-handed, and the fishing net was damaged, which was already a big loss.
But fortunately, this fish only circled the boat a few times, didn't get close, and then swam to the side.
They watched it swim in the direction of the reef, just took a look and took back their sight, didn't take it to heart, and continued to collect the line happily.
It's just that when they collected almost all the row hooks, leaving only the last dozen or so, it didn't expect it to swim over again, and it had been wandering around the fishing boat.
Originally, the father and son didn't want to worry about it, but after collecting all the lines, seeing it still swaying around, and not leaving for a long time, Ye's father hesitated, "Is there something wrong again?"
"No? There is no fishing net on the body, doesn't it look fine? It didn't open its mouth and lean over, right?"
Even if it leaned over, he didn't intend to feed it!
These are his harvest for two days, and they can't be cheapened by it again.
With its size, feeding it all might not be enough to satisfy it.
"Then let's drive the boat away directly?"
"Let's go? Start the diesel engine, drive away, see what reaction it has. If there is no reaction, we will just leave."
Ye's father nodded, "I'll go drive the boat, you pay attention."
Unexpectedly, what was beyond the father and son's expectations was that when their boat was about to drive away, this whale shark swam to the bow and blocked their way.
Ye's father didn't understand and changed direction, but it blocked it again.
"What is it doing?"
"Not letting us go?" Ye Yaodong was also puzzled, and shouted at it, "Big brother, what are you doing?"
How could that whale shark respond to him?
It just continued to wander around the fishing boat.
The father and son scratched their heads for a while, and couldn't figure out what it wanted to do?
Ye Yaodong tried to control the boat again to see if he could leave, but this time it didn't block the way, and was swimming in front.
"Eh? What's the situation?"
Ye's father looked at the direction it was swaying and hesitated, "It came from this direction just now, right?"
"Is this leading the way?"
"Animals all have spirits, didn't you say its brain is equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child."
"Also, maybe it's really leading the way, follow it and see what's going on..."
Whale sharks are really high in intelligence ranking.
