742.The End of the World (1/5)
Looking at the sky from the sea, the moon comes out before the sun sets. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And I don't know why, Li Du feels that the moon is much bigger when viewed from the sea than from the land, just like the essay he wrote when he was in elementary school: a large silver plate hung in the air.
As the night deepened, the moon became brighter and brighter, and the snow-white light fell on the sea, the water rippled, the waves rolled, and the moon was reflected on the sea, and thousands of moons appeared.
Every time a wave jumps, there will be a moon beating, and every water wave flowing, a moon will appear on it.
The moon is sparse, the moon is very big tonight, and the stars are nowhere to be seen, only a few stars are scattered in the air, which can be regarded as accompanying the moon.
The moonlight was bright enough, and Li Du felt that he didn't need to turn on the lights.
For the first time, he knew that the moonlight could be so bright, especially in the reflection of the clear seawater, the whole sea was bright, Li Du looked down from the bow of the boat, and felt that the sea water at this time was not black, but silvery-blue.
Robinson, the owner of the ship, walked over to him, handed him a bottle of beer and said, "Hey, Mr. Lee, it's best not to stare intently at the water on a full moon night." ”
Li Du took the beer and asked with a smile, "Oh, what's wrong?"
Still habitual, the ship's owner shrugged his shoulders before speaking, and said, "This is a legend of the Golden Island, you know, the ocean has swallowed countless lives. ”
"Usually, these spirits stay at the bottom of the sea, and on the night of the full moon, they will float up to get the power of the silver moon, and if they happen to see your shadow reflected in the water, they will devour your shadow and make up for their souls. ”
"This is a terrifying legend. ”
Li Du said: "Compared with the water ghost in our Chinese ghost culture to find a stand-in, this legend is already very tactful. ”
Da Ao became interested and said, "The water ghost is looking for a stand-in? What kind of legend is this?" Boss, tell it and listen to it. ”
The owner of the boat waved his hand back and said, "No, are you going to start the path of horror legends on the night of the full moon?" I'm sorry, I can't participate, I'm going to prepare the fishing rod." ”
They were lucky enough to have a full moon night, which is very good for night fishing.
Most of the marine fish are phototropic, and the cold moonlight has an extraordinary allure for them, and they will come to the surface, and it is easy to catch big fish at this time.
It is a coincidence that they go out to sea for night fishing, but many old anglers are waiting for this day, so there are quite a lot of people who go out to sea at night to fish.
Many people know that Robinson found a large school of fish in the area, so on this night, many fishing boats came out and scattered on the surface of the sea to fish.
Compared with these wild road players, they are much more professional, and several lights have gradually risen on the sea, which are fish trap lights, which are specially responsible for luring fish to the surface.
There are two deck chairs on the deck of the Good Luck Harvest, and there are rod holders on the railings in front of the decks, which can be used to hold the rods in place, so that the hook can be cast and wait for the fish to take the bait.
Robinson asked Li Du if he knew how to fish, and Li Du nodded: "I'm not a master of fishing, but I still know the basic skills, and if there are fish on the bait, I will bring them up." ”
Hearing him say this, the owner of the boat said, "That's fine, then I'll give you the fishing rod, and you will take care of it, I'll go into the water and find some dinner." ”
Li Du was surprised: "Will it be dangerous to go into the water at this time?"
The owner laughed and said: "I grew up in Tasmania and I learned to swim before I could walk, so what's wrong with going into the water in such good weather?"
He was more concerned about Li Du: "I'm sure I'm fine, but are you sure you're good at night fishing? ”
Li Du humbly asked, "Please guide me, and I'll see if my experience is useful." ”
The boss gave him a toolbox full of hooks, lines, floats, bait, etc.
Opening the toolbox, he introduced them one by one: "The hook has to be larger, so that it is not easy to run fish, and the line can be thicker, so that the bottom is not afraid of breaking the line." ”
"This is different from usual fishing, usually fishing with a big hook thick line is easy to cause the vigilance of the fish, it doesn't matter at night, the fish are short-sighted, without the help of sunlight, they can't see clearly. ”
"The rod should be strong and heavy, and I recommend using a 100-gram sinker to make the hook deeper. However, you will also have to prepare a drift rod and use a glow-in-the-dark float so that the fish will not be able to escape from the deep water or the water. ”
In addition to these experiences, the boss also taught him to use a number of aids, the most important of which was a fishing lamp.
This kind of fishing light also has the effect of a fish trap lamp, but it is not a professional fish trap lamp, and it cannot be switched to the brightness that can most attract the attention of the fish.
Its light is mainly used to illuminate the sea, after all, night fishing is very tiring for the eyes.
The fishing lights come with a display screen that will show the amount of power, and there are two kinds of lights that can be switched between far and near, and each light has three adjustable levels.
In addition, there are large net-copying tools, multi-functional clip-on fishing brackets, mosquito repellent and other tools, which are fully assembled, and Li Du suddenly has the feeling of a professional angler.
Seeing that he had probably learned how to use the tools, the owner changed into a wetsuit and jumped into the water.
Li Du saw that he was carrying a box in his hand, a fishing net tied to his waist, and a harpoon and speargun on his back, so it was estimated that there was no danger for him to go to the bottom of the sea.
He released a small flying insect to scan the surrounding sea and found that the yacht was docked next to a reef, which was more than ten meters to the north.
The reef is only a few metres above the water's surface, where some aquatic weeds and seaweed grow, and brightly coloured fish swim around the reef.
After the owner of the boat got into the water, he swam to the reef location, so Li Du was more relieved, obviously the other party knew about the existence of the reef and wanted to go to the reef to dive and fish.
The water area where the reef is located is not deep, so the owner of the boat does not have to worry about the nature of the water.
He threw out the hook, then lay down on the chaise longue, leisurely looking at the bright night sky and the rising moon.
The moonlight is very good tonight, the air quality in Australia is also very good, the night sky is very visible, and he can faintly see the crater above just by looking at the moon with the naked eye.
Australia is rich in marine resources, and the place where Robinson chose to fish at night is a sea area where schools of fish are widespread, Li Du drank less than half a bottle of beer, and the glow-in-the-dark fish drifted and trembled.
Seeing this, he sat up straight and said, "Godzilla, come, let's eat grilled fish tonight, and the grilled fish is hooked!"
Godzilla hurriedly ran over, but Li Du hurriedly picked up the rod, but the fish was not fully hooked, and after being frightened, he broke free from the hook and fled.
Seeing the bare fish hook, Godzilla smiled indifferently, he took the beer and the dried fish, fish fillet, grilled shrimp, pickled crab and other snacks left by the boss, and said, "Boss, take your time." ”
The fish hook returned to the water, and the two drank wine and ate these small things, and Li Du somehow remembered a poem:
The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time!
