Chapter 178: Long Snake Formation
300 fish hooks, one by one fish lined up to take the bait, there were only about thirty or forty empty hooks, Ye Yaodong was sore from beginning to end, but the harvest was also considerable.
Not to mention a blue melon seed grouper, ten red moray eels were also caught, and there were some black sea bream, sea bass, yellow croaker, horsefish, and many of them were really catfish, as he expected.
That is, a person wants to drive the boat, and he has to rewind the line and put the bait down by the way, which seems too busy and inefficient.
glanced at Ah Zheng and Xiaoxiao, who were working in the distance, and couldn't see clearly from too far away, but they could also see that the two of them were driving the boat and the other was putting the line, and they were doing it very calmly.
Shaking his head, it can't be compared, they want two people to divide it, he is alone, and when he changes to a bigger boat, it will be good to invite another person.
After collecting the line, he immediately took the two baskets of trunk lines on the ship to connect the tail end of the main line in the sea, and connected the buoy rope and the sinking stone rope together and threw them into the sea, until the two baskets of trunk lines brought out of the sea today were put into the sea, and finally threw out the tail anchor and buoy.
The additional 200 hooks, now a total of 500 in the sea, the first 300 hooks, he is still hanging small shrimp as bait, the back 200 hooks he hung on the sea centipede as bait, some are too long, he took scissors to cut into sections and then hung up.
I heard that this sea centipede is also like a small shrimp, it is an all-purpose bait, wait for a while to see if there is anything new.
After doing all the work, he clapped his hands, stood up straight, twisted his waist, and wondered if he could get some sea snakes or seahorses next time, and use them to make medicinal wine, and his waist still needs to be used, and he will also soak a little bit for his father, anyway, his father also loves to drink, and he can also replenish the body to go to rheumatism, and his father has rheumatism.
By the way, he lifted the bucket again, his bucket was relatively high, feeling that one bucket was more than 30 catties, both buckets were full, and several fish with a size of more than 5-6 catties were thrown on the boat.
Today's harvest will definitely surpass yesterday's, and the blue melon seed grouper and a dozen large red moray eels alone are worth dozens of dollars.
And that's just the beginning!
Ye Yaodong lay down leisurely and leisurely, covered his face with a hat, and was not ready to fish, there were so many fish hooks in the sea, there was no need to grab the goods with himself.
The waves of the sea swam undulatingly, and the boat also swayed, like a natural rocking chair to make people sleep, an autumn rain, a cool, gusts of sea breeze blowing, with a cold chill, he directly crossed his hands and hugged his chest.
When he went to sea today, Lin Xiuqing specially called him and asked him to put on a cotton jacket, the sea was windy, it rained again yesterday, and it was indeed colder today, and it was really warm in a cotton jacket.
He squinted slightly, the dim light, the swaying water, the sound of fish swinging their tails in the water from time to time, leisurely made the whole spirit relax, he slowly closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while and get up to reel in the line.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was an exclamation in his ears, which frightened him and he immediately sat up.
"Dongzi, Dongzi?"
"Damn, what's your name? I'm sleeping soundly!" Ye Yaodong shouted at them depressedly as he got up.
"Made, are you still alive? Lao Tzu thought you were gone, so hurry up and ask Ah Zheng to row over and have a look." Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily.
….
"Isn't it all the threads that are put away, nothing to do, and just idle and bored and lying down to sleep?"
"We watched the boat float from a distance, and there was no one on the boat, and we thought that something had happened to you and you fell into the sea."
"I'm blessed with a great life, what can happen? If I fall into the sea, I can swim up, but I can drown people in this shallow sea? It's not that I can't swim."
"Okay, we're worried, we're going to go back and collect the hooks."
"It's going to be collected so soon?" Ye Yaodong rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time in his hand, and immediately stood up, he actually slept for more than an hour.
"Young, our brother Dong has made a fortune? You still wear a watch?" The little sharp-eyed saw him roll up his sleeves, and spoke out in surprise.
"White, I have this wealth, and you can't envy it."
Ah Zheng was also interested now, "White? How can it be white? Let the brothers know about it and see if they can get one for nothing?"
"It's not okay to say it, go back and collect your hooks, I have to reel in the thread too, I've overslept."
"Cut~ I won't share anything about making a fortune."
"You can't share it, I'll tell you what you can."
took people's money and eliminated disasters, and collected other people's things, so you must keep the matter, at least not from him.
Ye Yaodong said as he rowed the boat towards the buoy that was the first to reel in at the front, but he saw that the waves were surging under the sea not far ahead.
"What's in the water over there?"
"What?"
Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao originally planned that he would forget about it, and was about to row the boat back and start to reel in the line, but when he heard his words, he stopped curiously and looked in the direction of his finger.
"Huh? And what's under the water?"
"Looks like a slender strip of something? Is it a school of eels?"
Ye Yaodong's eyes were bright and nodded, "It looks very similar, so long, I threw the row hook into the sea last night, and when I reeled in the line before, I caught more than a dozen big red moray eels, ranging from seven or eight catties to more than ten catties, which is very gratifying."
The two were also pleasantly surprised when they heard this, "So good? Then we won't be closing the line today."
"The next time you go to sea, you must throw your hand in the net, forget if you didn't bring it yesterday, and I didn't bring it today." Ah Zheng was a little regretful, who would have thought that he would encounter a school of eels again.
Ye Yaodong was also thinking in his heart, he also had to prepare a hand-thrown net and put it on the boat for backup, otherwise, if he encountered good goods but couldn't catch them, he would be angry, but he was okay today, the fish were near his hook, how could he harvest a little.
Suddenly, there was a splash on the surface of the sea, and a slender creature stuck out of its head and emerged from the water, and before they could see what they were, the sea eagle that had been flying on the surface of the sea in the sky swooped down from the sky and picked it up.
Only then did the three of them see clearly what the living creature was? exclaimed again and again......
"Hiss~"
"Lying on the horse, this is a sea snake, it's not a moray eel at the bottom, it's a group of sea snakes, grass ~ Lao Tzu's goosebumps are up......
"This is the Qinghuan sea snake, and the grass ~ thinks it's a group of moray eels?"
Ye Yaodong also tightened his face, looking at the sea eagle flying away, it still had an olive-colored green ring sea snake in its mouth and a black ring belt all over its body.
….
"It's good that I didn't bring a fishing net to drag them up......
Thinking about it, he shuddered, a whole net of green-ringed sea snakes, still alive if they were pulled to the fishing boat......
Who can stand this? It's their life!
The other two couldn't help but rejoice, "Yes, if it's one or two, you can still catch one, isn't it fatal for this group of people to come online."
At this time, several heads of green-ringed sea snakes appeared one after another on the sea, and the sea eagles and seabirds on the sea surface directly and quickly leaned over to hunt, and none of them missed their mouths.
The green-ringed sea snakes in mid-air struggled to curl up their entire bodies, although they were fierce, but once they left the water, they had no offensive ability in mid-air, and they were almost completely unable to defend themselves, so they could only become a meal for these seabirds.
Ye Yaodong estimated that they were sticking out their heads and inhaling, so they were accidentally hunted.
At this time, the sea suddenly boiled again, a group of Qinghuan sea snakes slowly floated on the surface of the water, and the naked eye visibly formed a long snake array that stretched for dozens of meters.
"Hiss~"
So much......
The three of them gasped, and looked at the dense green-ringed sea snakes on the water in front of them, gathering overwhelmingly, and the ships that were operating in the distant sea area were also restless there, constantly swaying irregularly, and it was estimated that there was a group of green-ringed sea snakes beside them, and they were scared away.
Who is not afraid of snakes?
Stretching so far, that's not all
Dozens of meters, hundreds of thousands of meters, how many green ringed sea snakes there must be underneath.
There were also more and more seabirds on the sea, flying from a distance, and the three of them were so frightened that they drove the boat a little farther away, away from their snake formation, and the hunting of seabirds, where did they still have the heart to reel in at this time.
At this time, whether or not the boats that encountered the green-ringed sea snake on the sea also stopped working, and they were attracted by the seabirds in mid-air, and those who were far away still rowed over to watch, and when they saw the green-ringed sea snake on the sea, they couldn't help but gasp.
Ye Yaodong and Xiao Azheng's boat leaned close together, watching from a distance.
Many times, these ocean phenomena are not something you can see if you want to see them, and they are rarely encountered for decades.
Ah Zheng stretched his neck and swallowed with difficulty, "Do sea snakes also need to party?"
"Aren't they social residents? You need to be emotional, right?"
"Snakes are cold-blooded, do sea snakes have feelings? They're setting up a dragon gate formation, right?"
Ye Yaodong listened to the two *** talking nonsense there, "Their reproductive season has arrived, so they will get together for mating and breeding."
"Like this?"
"A flock of ***, isn't it convenient for seabirds to hunt?"
"The phenomenon of marine life is not something we can understand, anyway, we know that it is now the season for them to breed, which is why there will be a large-scale formation of green ringed sea snakes gathering in long snake formations."
"Tut-tut, Dongzi, are you really a jack of all trades at sea?"
"Of course! I don't necessarily know everything, I know everything, but I certainly know more than you do."
"And how long have they been gathered like this?"
"I'm not sure, it should be dispersed in an hour or two, stay at sea level for a while, and there will be dozens fewer of them, and more and more seabirds will fly in the distance."
Not only seabirds, but also more and more ships on the surface of the sea are coming to see the excitement.
It doesn't have to be the word of mouth of the boats at sea, fishermen know that there are usually schools of fish where seabirds gather and circle, and today's boats on the sea are completely attracted by seabirds.
Back to the small fishing village.
