Chapter 31: The Rake Team

Saturday, June 25, 1977. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The surging waves, under the tremendous gravitational pull of the sun and the moon, rose up once again.

The "sea bumpers" next to the "Cloud Cliff" also ended the last hunt of the day and swam back to the shore one after another.

The last to go ashore were Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, the "general", the "sea dog" and the "dead body".

When their five-person team dragged a few heavy "net drifters" ashore again, as usual, they attracted onlookers and surprises from other "sea bumpers" who had already gone ashore first.

"The 'Rake Team' is back!"

The grumpy bald head was the first to run over screaming, and Hong Yanwu and the others now knew that this kid's nickname was "Flying Crab".

And when this kid watched several people dump the seafood in the "net drifter" on the shore, the light in his eyes was simply brighter than his bald head.

"Damn, you're getting rich again! How many trips have you carried to the shore in this water? How come your five hills of seafood are more than in the morning, at least three hundred pounds smaller. That's more than twice as much as the six of us together. ”

At this time, another boy with a hooked nose also came over, and his nickname was "Shrimp Crawler". The boy squatted down on the spot, and immediately started to help divide the seafood, and then he couldn't help but whistle as well.

"Hey, it's not blowing, it's not sea cucumber or abalone. It's much better than our miscellaneous seafood, and in terms of value, five times as much as it goes......"

The "dead corpse" standing behind Hong Yanwu immediately got up with honor.

"What's new about this! Isn't our 'rake team' like this every day! Besides, I also threw a steel jump before going to the sea, and the word 'Wu Fen' is facing up, and the dragon lord blesses it! It's strange if you don't get rich!"

The "sea dog" next to the "general" was also in a mood, and immediately ran to the "mountain" of seafood, picked up a large sea cucumber and began to tease the boring son.

"Hey, everyone, look at it, look at this sea cucumber! It's the size of the dragon king! Whoever wants to eat it, make sure you all grow a big mallet, and a wife is not enough......"

This sentence made all the "sea bumpers" can't help laughing, and they all scolded the "little rabbit cub" in unison.

"Sanjiazi" and "Ba Jiaozi" had the most trouble, and when they came over, they forced "Sea Dog" to eat it raw, saying that they would watch his things turn into "grenades" and explode in the crotch of his pants.

As a result, he chased the "sea dog" and fled, and his mouth was still "howling" like a beaten wild dog.

can look at the scene full of laughter and laughter on the beach, and Jiang Haichao, the "general" who has been silent, has mixed feelings in his heart. Because no one knows better than him that this kind of bumper harvest can have nothing to do with the Dragon Prince, it is all the credit of those two people in the capital.

These two people from the capital are indeed extraordinary. Who would have thought that when they first arrived at the "Cloud Cliff" this time, they hadn't even fished sea cucumbers or abalone. But under the leadership of him and the "old swordfish", within three days, they had already learned how to identify and find the "sea cucumber nest" and "abalone nest" on their own.

Then for another three days, they were able to effortlessly dig out the sea cucumbers that had been hiding under the rocks or in the cracks of the rocks, or in the seaweeds, and had shoveled down the abalone hidden in the crevices of the narrower rocks with great skill, no worse than that of the "journeyman" who had worked for more than ten years.

And after that, Hong Yanwu also came to him to discuss one thing. said that he hoped to divide all the "sea bumpers" into two teams and go to the sea.

Originally, at the beginning, he thought that Hong Yanwu had repented and wanted to separate the two groups of people and go it alone. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu's real meaning was to let the "old knife fish" work at a depth of 16 meters with "Sanjiazi", "Ba Worm", "Shrimp Crawler", "Flying Crab" and "Sea Rabbit". Then let him take the rest of the people and go to work in the water at a depth of sixteen meters. It is said that the sea area is divided according to the water capacity in this way, which can improve the efficiency of fishing.

He was hesitant at first about this matter, because he had never seen any other "sea bumper" do this, and it seemed that he looked down on people by separating everyone according to their diving ability, is this really necessary?

In addition, if it is true about diving ability, how do the old and weak "old knife fish" and "sea rabbit", "fur dog" and "dead corpse" three beginners count?

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu said that the "old swordfish" was experienced, and with those five people, it was convenient to help them quickly find the sea. In addition, whether it is "old saury", "fur seals", "sea rabbits" and "dead corpses", they do not need to go into the water to catch goods, they only need to be responsible for locating the surface of the water and sending the sea objects to the shore. In this way, the main team members who fish for goods can save a lot of physical strength and only need to concentrate on fishing. As for how novices can improve their abilities, it's not too late to practice slowly in the off-season.

It sounds like it makes a little sense, and it is the first proposal of Hong Yanwu, the "leader", so he can't directly refute the face, so he has the idea of being dispensable, and decides to try it first.

Unexpectedly, the effect turned out to be surprisingly good. The "old swordfish" found reefs and had a lot of experience in judging the water level, and the auxiliary role of those novices should not be overlooked. As a result, the six-person team fished out nearly twice as many seafood as they usually would.

As for him taking Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to fish in the deep water area, it is by no means as simple as a simple addition.

In the past, because he had to take his brothers to work underwater for more than ten meters most of the time, and he also had to guide novices to improve their skills, he often used up most of his energy when he entered the extremely deep water of 20 meters.

And because he was alone, he was terrified to enter the unsightly seabed, so although the goods in this untouched sea area were extremely thick, and the sea objects he fished out were large, he was not much more numerous than his brothers.

But now it is different, under Hong Yanwu's reasonable planning, not only does he no longer have to deliver goods to the shore, but he wastes his physical strength on the water. And I also have a companion when diving.

In this extremely cold and abundant seafood stage, it is no longer his "general" who is performing alone, and the two rising stars who have just ascended to the stage have a great deal to catch up with him and surpass his posture.

Together, they worked hard. "Puff puff" pricked the fierce son, "ahahaha" panting, so he no longer felt loneliness and fear. This became a kind of impetus that forced him to exert all his strength, and secretly determined to compete with them again.

He lost one and couldn't lose a second time. Every time he floats, he must have an absolute advantage in the weight, quality and quantity of the seafood, and he must always be the strongest.

As a result, even he did not expect that his amazing potential had burst out, his ability had been fully utilized, and his fishing results had increased by three times as much as usual.

And those two Beijing boys didn't let it go.

Chen Liquan's results can catch up with him because this kid has a magical kung fu in his hands. Chen Liquan does not need to use the "abalone stick" at all, and he can take off the abalone firmly sucked on the reef wall with only his hands, and there is no loss at all.

Although he himself can "break abalone", but he can only do it when he is just close to the prey and takes advantage of his surprise, and he can't do such an understated, orchard-like way of harvesting as Chen Liquan.

Even once when he accidentally encountered a "wolf-toothed eel", Chen Liquan pinched the eel head with sharp teeth with just a hand.

You know, the snake-like eel is fast and venomous, and if you want to hunt it, you have to use a speargun. If you accidentally get bitten by this guy, it will hurt so much that you can call Mom, and maybe you can suffocate underwater in shock.

So if this matter is to be said, I'm afraid that no one in the whole coastal city will believe it.

As for Hong Yanwu, although he can't catch up with Chen Liquan and him in terms of fishing level, I have to say that this kid has a very good brain, and clever ghost ideas emerge in endlessly.

Once they came across a large narrow reef cave at the bottom of the sea, and the seafood in it was surprisingly thick. But there is a danger, even he does not dare to try it easily.

Needless to say, it is not uncommon to be unable to get out once you fall into the reef arch hole underwater, and there are many famous "old sea bumpers" who have become fish food on the bottom of the sea in this way.

But after they all gave up, Hong Yanwu went ashore to get a rake with kelp and swam back again. Then Hong Yanwu let him and Chen Liquan go underwater, cooperating to grab this kid's own feet. As a result, relying on this method, they pulled out all the sea cucumbers in the reef cave. In that water, the sea cucumber fished out was filled with two "net drifters".

Since then, the allusion of Hong Yanwu taking the lead in carrying a rake and hugging sea cucumber has become a legend in the mouths of "sea bumpers". At the same time, it is precisely because of this unheard-of anecdote, and because of their outstanding ability to "cross the grate" on the bottom of the sea, that their five-person team has also earned the name of "rake team" for this.

What else could he say about this? Although he was resistant, although he did not want to admit it, in fact these two boys, who were six or seven years younger than him, were indeed as dazzling as the sun that was about to rise, and they were indeed capable and qualified to lead the "sea bumpers".

It is precisely because of them that the "Cloud Cliff" that they used to work for more than a month is about to be scraped off in these ten days. The prey they obtained this time was almost too much to take away. When I go back tomorrow, the next "touch the sea" will have to move to other shores.

Therefore, this miraculous result not only made him discover many of his shortcomings, but also opened his eyes in many places, making him begin to feel that his past self was like a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky. There are many things in the world that his father did not teach him, and it is also important. There are many things that he didn't know about in the past, and it's worth learning as well.

That's right, through these days of "fighting side by side", it is difficult for him to become wary and repulsive towards them anymore. On the contrary, the respect and admiration in my heart are uncontrollably increasing day by day.

There is no way, the friendship between the "sea bumper" and the "sea bumper" is born under this special form of labor. Even if two people can break their heads and bleed on the shore, they lean on each other after entering the water.

Because when you're scurrying around the reef, free, and in a good mood, you feel that it's not your skill, your guts, and your strength. Instead, in the reef not far from you, there is also the existence of a "sea bumper".

It is precisely with these two new partners that he can have no scruples underwater and be more free than usual.

The night of the "Cloud Cliff" is beautiful, and under the black and blue night, the sea and the sky are completely one color. In the distance, the beating light of the sea and the stars twinkle together, and the flowing dark clouds mingle with the swelling waves.

In the darkness, the pile of charcoal that has not yet burned out is red and shining. The "sea bumpers" were all lying on the thick pile of firewood and straw, falling asleep tiredly, making a regular slight snoring sound.

At this time, only Hong Yanwu could not sleep, the starlight on the canopy was changing colors in his eyes, suddenly turning into the white flesh thorns of sea cucumbers, suddenly becoming charming spots on abalone shells, and suddenly turning into dazzling light clusters, like the teeth of "frustrating tiger dragons", like the tip of spear spears.

The ball of light grew closer and closer, and finally drooped down, turning into two tiger-like eyes. Hong Yanwu was stunned for a moment, only to find that it was the "general" Jiang Haichao standing in front of him.

"You didn't sleep either?"

Hong Yanwu spoke first, but the "general" did not squeak.

"I was looking at the sky just now, and it was a real pleasure to look at this wonderful view......

Hong Yanwu said again, the "general" was still standing there.

Hong Yanwu finally sat up and looked at the mountain-like figure in front of him. Looking at it, he smiled.

The "General" was embarrassed by his laughter and finally sat down in front of him.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I wanted to tell you, w.uukanu you won ......"

"Won?" Hong Yanwu didn't know why, "What won?"

In the dark, Jiang Haichao's face could still be seen flushing, and he was spitting.

"Boss...... Now, including me, everyone is subject to you...... If you have a good brain, follow your method, and now it is enough to double everyone's income. Next time, do as you say...... Besides, the number you want is quite reasonable, so let's do what we say......"

But Hong Yanwu denied it. "'General', you're wrong......"

"I was wrong...... What's wrong?"

"I can't thank you enough for your attention. But your brothers are still obeying you. 'General' is 'general', and no one can replace it! So I still need your trust! Only if you believe in me, what I will do next will your brothers have confidence! Really, I have a lot of things to ask you, are you willing to help me? For me, for you, and for everyone......

Soon, the two backs lit a cigarette in the afterglow of the campfire, and they whispered softly to the sound of the waves crashing against the reef.
