Chapter 1143 The big wave brought by the red tide(1/3)
Looking down from a high place, the line of sight is quite good, and with a telescope, we can still track the group of six-banded trevally.
Father Ye also followed his prompting and chased the group of fish.
Simply speaking, the well-fed silver shark did not swim very fast, nor did the large army following behind it. The fish shadows were moving on the sea surface.
The fishing boat drove past quickly, then slowed down and stopped after passing a short distance. The boatmen were already ready. As soon as the fishing boat stopped and saw a school of fish moving towards the side, they immediately put out the arranged fishing nets.
Throw it out.
There were two more nets full of fish, but when the nets were being closed, the fish did not stop at all and continued to move forward. They also deviated from the direction of their fishing boat and swam to the side.
Because there was a lot of fish and one net was full, it took time for them to close the nets. After the two nets were collected one after another and dumped on the deck, Ye Yaodong stood on the helm and looked through the binoculars, but there was no trace of the fish anymore.
.
He only knew that he had just moved to the side. He pointed in the direction and asked his father to continue driving in the direction he pointed to see if he could find it again. If he couldn't find it, he would have no choice but to give up.
, this wave of six-banded trevally can only bring them so much harvest.
Father Ye kept moving forward in the direction he pointed, and no more fish could be seen. Ye Yaodong also took a telescope and looked in all directions, and no more fluctuations were seen on the sea.
, even the seabirds scattered or flew around their fishing boats.
I don’t know whether it was because I was full, or because I was frustrated because I couldn’t eat any big fish, or because I had more to eat by following their fishing boat.
"Is it gone? Can't find it?"
Ye Yaodong took down the telescope and said, "I can't find it. It either ran far away or sank under the water. I can't see the trace anymore. It's up to you. You decide for yourself which direction and coordinates you want to go."
It would be great if a fish detector could be installed so that we could detect the situation under the ocean.
"Forget it if you can't find it. There should be quite a few like the one we just encountered."
"I'll go down and take a look. You'd better drive the boat."
The deck was still full of fish, and some bolder seabirds swooped down to catch the big fish, but they never succeeded and were waved away.
When everyone is sorting out the goods, they will also throw out some small trash fish to feed the seabirds, causing them to fly down and grab them.
Ye Yaodong looked at everyone picking goods there and squatted down to help them pick. He also asked, "Do you know how many kilograms you caught?"
"It should be around 3,000 pounds, so it can be sold for a good price."
"We haven't even reached the fishing area yet, and we've caught so much before we even start lowering the net. It's pretty good..."
"Chen Shi's stuttering is much better. It seems that Fish School can cure his stuttering?"
Chen Shi chuckled, "No, it's just so... shocking. It was the first time... I saw... the fish... in the water. There were so many movements. I... couldn't say... words at that time."
“I couldn’t say it then but I can say it now.”
"yes."
"It's a pity that we can't set the net here yet. It's too shallow. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to catch more residue."
"If we drive a little further and take a look, we can no longer see many jellyfish, which means we are almost out of the offshore area."
They are now heading towards the East China Sea. In the past, they were heading towards the Taiwan Strait or down the southeastern coast at home.
While driving the fishing boat, Father Ye used the compass to identify the direction of travel. In unfamiliar waters, he did not dare to drive too far. After calculating the time, he felt that it was almost done, and then he asked people to lower the net.
The sea nearby is endless and boundless, with no mountains and rivers visible, only the coastline on the horizon.
Dongsheng is extremely insignificant in front of the vast sea, as inconspicuous as a grain of sand in the desert.
The sun was scorching during the day, but the wind from the sea was still very cool. After sorting all the goods, Ye Yaodong returned to the ship's warehouse to take a rest, while others lowered the nets and cooked.
I took advantage of my free time to do what I needed to do, and I was still busy when I waited for the internet to go online.
Lying there, he was not idle, still thinking that the other side of the trench was exposed, and there probably wouldn't be many ships coming to make money next year.
After all, it is not as huge a profit as it was two years ago. It is only divided among their families. Now everyone in the city is participating. It is not worth fighting the locals to make money.
If one trip can still earn a household of 10,000 yuan, and the blood will flow like a river, they may still think it is worth it, because no one will think of themselves as cannon fodder, and will always imagine that they are the chosen one who will have the last laugh.
However, it is not ruled out that some people think that it may be standardized next year and it will not be so dangerous. It is also the flood season here after all. Even if we salvage one by one from the sea, it is still better than making a little bit of money by trawling at home.
He thought a lot and thought that he didn't need to worry about those people in the village next year. Everyone who was supposed to come this year had already been here and knew their location. They could make their own arrangements.
At most, wait until he becomes the vice-president. If there are any relevant policies or other matters, tell him in advance. If there are any difficulties, he will help if necessary. After all, he is from the same village, so we have to work together.
Hug a group.
If he came, he would definitely have to come far in advance.
It is impossible to salvage all the sea urchins in the trench in just one month. Who knows how the weather will change? Even if it is sunny every day, he does not know how long the trench lasts. He can only salvage one area and move it bit by bit.
, as much as you can salvage.
On this trip, he only planned to stay for about three days. When the fish warehouse was full, he would return immediately. With these few days as a buffer, most of the locals probably tried it and gave up.
When he goes back, the trench will still belong to him.
If he can make a lot of money in a nearby place, why should he go far away?
It's not autumn yet and the weather hasn't turned cold yet, so I can go into the water as many times as possible to catch all the sea urchins from the bottom of the trench. Maybe he can move out.
When next year comes, we won't have to stay in the trench where jellyfish gather. Instead, we will move outside along the trench below.
When the time comes, everyone will be crowding in there to catch jellyfish, and he only needs to catch sea urchins easily outside, staggered from everyone else, which is better.
He fantasized wildly and thought about it until he fell asleep and didn't even eat lunch. The boatman wanted to come in and call him, but saw him sleeping and then left.
They got up too early at night, so they took a nap after dinner and woke up just in time to close the nets.
Throughout the whole day, they had not encountered even a fishing boat except near the coast. Their boat was the only one floating on the sea.
It's not like they haven't gone to sea before, but now they don't know if it's because they are in a different place in another province, and the fishing boats are floating alone all day long. Night operations do seem a bit scary to them.
Usually, even at night, they could see the Harvest when they looked up. There were two boats accompanying them, which made them feel particularly safe.
Ye Yaodong had slept during the day and took over the task of sleeping in the middle of the night.
While he was driving the boat slowly around the sea, two boatmen who were on the same shift as him ran up from the lower deck.
He asked doubtfully: "What? Have you picked out all the goods underneath?"
"We have picked it up. We are the only ones on the deck. It feels empty...a little scary..." Chen Laoqi crossed his arms and rubbed them back and forth.
Chen Shi also said: "It's too... too dark... the whole... sea surface is... black, just... the two lights... up and down... I'm scared."
Ye Yaodong didn't feel much at first, he had long been accustomed to the darkness, but when he heard what they said, he suddenly felt a little scary.
The darkness was like a giant beast with its mouth open. When they were operating, it felt like it was going to swallow up their entire fishing boat, as if the fishing boat was going to sail into the night and disappear in the next second.
In the past, there would always be a Harvest on the sea, looking at each other, and they didn't look so lonely.
"I've told you two quite a bit. Then you guys, just stay on top of the helm and wait until the nets are closed before going down. People, you just can't be idle. When you are idle, you will always have random thoughts. When you have work,
, I can’t even think about anything.”
"Yes, that's right...as soon as I...finished my work, I raised...my head...and looked...at the sea, and my heart...felt panicked."
When Ye Yaodong was about to say something, he saw the raised bow of the ship suddenly turning blue waves as it sailed.
And it's not all at once, it's continuous.
The fishing boat is constantly working, which means it is constantly moving. The waves are rolling and hitting the bow of the boat. The waves brought up are all blue and have not changed.
He blurted out, "Red Tide!"
"Red Tide!"
"Langlanglang...blue..."
Ye Yaodong repeated, "The red tide is coming...it wasn't there just now, it's suddenly spreading."
Not only the bow of the ship, he looked at the sides and stern of the ship. The waves brought up by the movement were all blue, which was undoubtedly red tide.
Red tide also has a nice name called blue tears. This is a natural phenomenon, but I didn’t expect to encounter it here.
They met him at home two years ago, but it had no impact on them. But it was different now. He had to drive the boat back.
I don't know if these red tides will spread inside. Now I can only go back and work in the closer sea area first. Generally, I can't go out anymore. There should be red tide outside now.
"Red tide...is...what is it?"
Chen Shicai has only been a fisherman for two years, so he doesn't know much since he hasn't met him.
"Red tide is a marine phenomenon. When you look at it during the day, the sea water is brown. At night, when the waves are rolling, there will be a blue light. Now that the fishing boats are sailing, the waves will naturally bring out a blue light.
.”
"Highly dense red tide organisms can block the respiratory organs of fish and shellfish, causing the death of large numbers of fish and shellfish. These fish or shellfish poisoned by red tide continue to secrete toxins in the seawater, harming the growth of other marine life.
"
"This thing looks good, but it's not that good. We can only temporarily leave this sea area with red tide." Ye Yaodong explained to him some popular science.
"Fishing net..."
"There's no need to close it immediately. Don't worry. Let's go out first. We just encountered it, so it's not a big problem."
"It looks...very nice..." Chen Shi curiously went down to the helm again, leaned against the edge of the boat, and looked directly at the bursts of blue light brought up by the waves beside the fishing boat.
To be continued...
