Chapter 8: The Sea of the Full Moon

"Full Moon Sea" and "Starfire Bay" are separated by a flint mountain with a flying rock cliff. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infor?anwenw?w?w?.?? But the scene here is very different.

The "full moon sea" in the morning light is not only a flat river, but also the vast sea surface is not alarmed. In addition, there are a lot of burned firewood ash and shells of "sea oysters", "sea red" and "scallops" on the shore, and there are several piles of bonfires scattered in different parts of the coast that are burning.

After arriving here at five o'clock in the morning, the "old swordfish" first took advantage of the scene in front of him to give Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan a common sense lesson about the beach.

He said that the Liaodong Peninsula has a winding coastline and countless bays, large and small, but not every bay has goods. Due to geological differences, each bay also has its own specialty.

Like a bay with a lot of fine sand, there are many sea cucumbers. There are many bays with turmeric stones, and there are many conchs. Granite bays, scallops more. At this time of year, the sea cucumbers have retreated into the deep sea, so the bay of turmeric and granite has become a treasure.

And this is the granite bay, because of the wind and waves, it has become the favorite place for "sea bumpers" to gather. There are a number of "Zha Meng" shallow "sea bumpers" and beginner "quasi-sea bumpers", all of which are frequent visitors here.

Like those bonfires that are burning, people who have already gone to the sea are baking fires, and there are about three or four people in each campfire. In addition, it is not difficult to see from the ash heap how many people have visited this beach.

Generally speaking, a "sea bumper" is enough to sweep an area the size of a football field, so it can be judged that the "sea bumpers" have been called here to the bottom. There is never too much in the shallow sea area, and there is a little hope in the deep sea area.

For this reason, he specially reminded Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan that they should first observe the surroundings when they go to any beach in the future to see how many burnt ash heaps there are. As long as you do a rough calculation, you can basically decide whether to give up there.

This is the experience of the "old knife fish", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan nodded after hearing it.

In fact, they all know each other that the "old swordfish" brought them here not to make any money, but mainly to give them a real deep-water practical lesson in a relatively safe sea. It is only after today's deep water area that they can be regarded as "sea bumpers" in the true sense.

Therefore, they are not at all like other "sea bumpers" who have just arrived here, and as soon as they find that there are too many competitors, they become depressed, and they still seriously prepare for the launch.

With their concerted efforts, a large pile of firewood sticks was soon picked up, and the things they brought were gradually placed in turn. Shortly after the sun rises, when the "dry tide bottom" (jargon, the maximum low tide) is reached, a large new firewood pile has been added to the beach.

At this time, some unfamiliar "sea bumpers" recognized the figure of the "old swordfish" by the brighter and brighter morning light, and some people took the initiative to approach and talk to them.

In the face of this situation, the "old saury" had a special advice in advance. He said that the sea is owned by everyone, and it is also the source of livelihood for all "sea bumpers". So don't look at the "sea bumpers" who are ruthless when they see seafood underwater, but no one has ever been able to dominate the land as brutally as the lions of the African savannah.

Under normal circumstances, even if dozens of sea bumpers who have never known each other gather in a bay, they will coexist peacefully. They compete and scramble with each other, and only rely on the ability to "touch the sea" to decide the winner.

But the only exception is against strangers. Because no matter where the locals are, almost all of them have a kind of "xenophobic" mentality, and they have a sense of "territory" for local resources. If someone discovers the identity of Hong Yanwu and their people in the capital, I am afraid that it will still cause some disputes between right and wrong.

So at this moment, Hong Yanwu and the others all pretended to be dumb, kept silent, and left everything to the "old swordfish" to come forward perfunctory.

In this way, these strangers were finally perfunctory and uneventful. However, in this process, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan felt a little uncomfortable.

If nothing else, the main thing is that these young boys don't respect the "old saury" very much. They all speak frivolously, they all like to use "old swordfish" to play cymbals, and they like to make some jokes that are not light or heavy in a contemptuous and sarcastic tone. Therefore, while Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan watched coldly, they were all stupid and couldn't help but rub their hands.

As for the "old knifefish" himself, he seems to have long been accustomed to this. Of course, he saw that these boys from the capital were holding grievances for themselves, and he was also grateful in his heart. But it is a norm for the current 'sea bumpers' to only recognize the seafood fished out, and not to recognize the generations. He didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes because of this, so he didn't show any anger and wanted to investigate at all, and even used his eyes to stop Hong Yanwu's hostility towards these people.

And as soon as these people left, he only said, "Those boys are third-rate goods, don't worry about them", even if this matter ends here. Then he began to urge Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to go into the water with him quickly.

Seeing that the "old knife fish" had this attitude, although Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still a little angry, they couldn't say anything more. What's more, time is precious, and the more they delay, the higher the water level, so they quickly took off their clothes and swam to the depths of the sea with the "old swordfish". Only leave the "little hundred sons" on the shore to do logistical support for everyone.

The water here is particularly clear, and you can see the bottom almost at a glance from the shallow waters of the "Full Moon Sea".

Hong Yanwu and the others swam all the way and found that sure enough, as the "old swordfish" just said, the bottom of the sea was as clean as if it had passed through the grate.

Not only are abalones, conchs, and scallops completely gone, but even the "stinging pots", "sea reds" and "oysters" that make the "sea bumpers" disdainful are also very little.

And they did not stop until they reached an area where they could not see the bottom of the sea, and it was already sixty or seventy meters away from the shore.

At this time, the "old saury" first explored the depth of the seabed alone, and found that it was about eight (nine) meters of "Wutuo water", and he had a bottom in his heart. When he returned to the sea, he began to introduce Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to the habits and fishing methods of scallops.

He said that scallops are the least heat-tolerant, and in summer and autumn, they have to go to deep water to escape the heat, and until the water is cold in winter, the scallops will move back to shallow water.

And the way the scallops move through the water, it's almost like they're "flying". When it needs to "relocate", it will resolutely take the initiative to break the connection with the reef, and then it will stretch out two shells, and vigorously close the water and drain the water one by one. And with the help of the strong recoil generated by this, it finally "flies" evasively.

As for how to catch scallops, it is therefore very simple.

Since the scallops are relocated to new locations during this season, they are not well connected to the reef foundation, and usually, the scallops only need to be gently pulled down. In other cases, the scallops do not land on the reef accurately, but on the mud and sand between the reefs, which can be easily picked up.

Therefore, there is no practical difficulty in catching scallops, which can be done with one hand and without the help of any special tools. The only key to a good harvest is one's ability to move deep underwater and find underwater reefs.

Of course, the "old saury" is full of confidence in Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's diving skills, so he didn't say anything more about the skills of "luck".

First, people should have a measure when they touch the sea, not be greedy for money, know how to make trade-offs, and have a correct measurement of risks.

For example, if the reef is too dangerous, don't rush to drill it. If there are currents and deep waters that are too far offshore, don't risk yourself. No matter how thick the goods are, you must be willing to give up when you should give up.

Second, you should also be cautious and cautious when diving in unfamiliar waters, and you must not be reckless.

For the sake of safety, where the water depth is complicated, try to divide it into two or three times before diving to the end, in order to find out the situation on the bottom of the sea. Because although Hong Yanwu is not afraid of being scratched by shells, there is also a risk of being entangled in seaweed and hitting his head on the reef. There are not a few "sea bumpers" who died due to these two accidents.

Third, always remember that there are two heavens above and below the water. The deep water is different from the shallow water, and there is not only the biting cold below, but also the unbearable pressure.

Once you have dived five or six meters, you start to suffer. At the age of eight (nine) meters, the person is squeezed by the pressure and is extremely painful. And the ultimate diving limit of people is basically about 20 meters. Once this depth is reached, two atmospheres are added. Even if you can dive any further, it's useless. At that time, not only will the glass of the water mirror be crushed, but people will also get "diving disease".

In addition, it is precisely because of the presence of underwater pressure that there are likely to be two unexpected situations. The first is a leaky water scope, and the second is nasal bleeding.

But no matter what kind of situation you encounter, you can't take off the water mirror at that time, you must insist on holding your breath and quickly surface. This is because the pressure under the water is high, and it is easier to choke on water without a water mirror.

Especially with nasal bleeding, the scene can be scary, and the water mirror often becomes red, making it difficult to see anything. But there's really no need to worry, because that's just a beginner's level.

Everyone in this industry knows that every "sea bumper" piercing deep water will break the nose once, but it will never be broken again. It's like taking a diploma, once and for all.

Therefore, if you really break your nose, as long as you go to the sea and take off the water mirror, wash it, and flush your nose, there will be no serious consequences.

After talking about diving, "Old Knife Fish" finally talked about how to quickly find the underwater reef.

In fact, this has always been the most headache for the "sea bumpers". Because without reefs, there are no sea objects. The reason why the "sea bumpers" like the reef and are not afraid of the reef is because there are goods in the reef.

However, in an unfamiliar bay, if you always bury your head in the water to search, your eyes will hallucinate in a few moments, as if you feel that there are reefs all around. At this time, if people plunge down, they can only see an empty beach. It will make people feel frustrated for a long time.

You must know that "teaching bumpers" is most afraid of piercing "empty mengzi", because people rely entirely on spiritual heads. If there is a product underwater, the "sea bumper" will become more and more energetic as it dries, and no matter how tired it is, it will be full of interest. But if you have to tie three "empty mengzi" in a row, you will feel that your strength will be used up all day.

However, "Old Knife Fish" is "Old Knife Fish" after all, and he actually has his own unique knack in this matter.

I saw him smile mysteriously, and then he told Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan a word very complacently.

"If you are 'rooted' on a beach that has never been pierced, don't look for a reef with your eyes, you must use ...... Ears!" (To be continued.) )
