Chapter 196: The Last Net

Looking at the wonders on the sea, the father and son both regretted that they did not have four hands, and the fishing boats next to them were visibly full of goods, and the boats were full of sardines and all kinds of big fish.

Most of the people on the other ships also rested on the deck, lamenting the limited manpower.

After they put the nets back down, they also took a break there and pulled the boat over.

"Dongzi, how many nets have you fished? How many pounds have you made?"

"Two or three thousand catties, the arm strength can't bear it, otherwise you don't need to rest, what about you?"

"It's pretty much the same, even if there are a few more big fish than you, I don't dare to catch too many in one net, and if I catch too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull them up."

Father Ye smiled and said, "A few big fish are enough, those sardines are not valuable, any deep-sea big fish is worth hundreds of catties of sardines."

Father Pei smiled and said, "That's what I said, so after dawn, we try to grab as many goods as possible."

"It's just more laborious, after today's ticket is finished, everyone has to rest for a few days, and they can't come out." Ah Guang shook his sour arm, and he didn't know if he was happy, happy, or happy......

Ye Yaodong put away the lunch box that he had eaten half-eaten, wiped his mouth and said, "Today, I have earned all the money for a year in one day, not to mention a few days off, but a month off!"

Father Pei laughed, "Dongzi is right."

"Enough rest, keep going."

Ye Yaodong was stimulated by the big fish on Ah Guang's fishing boat, shook his hand and threw the net, planning to hurry up and continue to do it, he had already caught his eye on the yellowfin tuna not far away.

The sardine is now just bait in the eyes of these fishermen, the bait they use to catch the big fish, and catching it is only a matter of incident.

It's a pity that they don't see bluefin tuna around them, there are boats everywhere, and it's not easy to change the spot, so they can only catch something in front of them, so as not to fall short.

Seeing that they were busy again, Ah Guang also caught another yellowfin tuna, and he was also excited to call his father to continue.

Work hard to finish this vote, and you won't have to worry about getting married!

Other fishing boats on the sea did not dare to rest more, and one less net was a loss of dozens of yuan.

The dense sardines on the surface of the sea are constantly swimming, the big fish chase after them, and the fishing boats follow closely behind, from dawn to dusk.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a boat in front of them, and all the fishing boats that were slowly moving forward to fish came to a standstill.

Ye Yaodong and the others had just struggled to collect a net, and the people were still resting on the side of the boat, when they heard bursts of cries for help from the fishing boat in front of them.

Father Ye stretched out half of his body and leaned out of the side of the boat to look, only to see that there seemed to be a person floating there on the sea in front of him......

"Something seems to have happened to the ship ahead, Toko!"

Ye Yaodong also frowned and watched, "I saw it, it seems that someone has fallen, Dad, let's drive the boat up a little bit and see if we can help."

There is a well-established agreement at sea that you must save people in distress at sea, even if you are trawling and loading goods, you must put saving people first.

This sea is full of big fish, and he has seen several great white sharks in front of him, and generally whale sharks do not eat people, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a smell of blood......

….

Not only their fishing boats, but many fishing boats around them saw this accident, and everyone quickly drove their horsepower to approach the boat, and then spontaneously surrounded the area, trying not to let the big fish on the sea approach.

said that it was too late, and when they were surrounded, the splash of the struggling on the sea was small, Ye Yaodong looked at the surroundings and it should be relatively safe, took off his coat, took off his watch and jumped down, and there were two boats next to him that also jumped two people down.

As soon as he dived into the water, he saw a middle-aged woman sinking to the bottom, with a slight struggle, and hurriedly swam towards her, but the strength of the net was too much before and the arm strength was limited, the woman seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and struggled there with his clothes, fortunately, the other two people who jumped down also swam over to help,

He breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he also saw the dense sardine under the surface of the sea not far away, and the magnificent scenery was even more magnificent than what he saw on the surface of the sea.

His eyes widened instantly, and he saw countless sardines shuttling in front of him, arranged in regular or irregular groups, as if they were dancing.

In just a few seconds, this magnificent natural landscape was deeply engraved in his mind, and when he surfaced, he was still a little stunned, and his eyes were still shining.

The other two had the same expression, neither of them expected that the sardines on the surface of the sea were just the tip of the iceberg of the sardine storm, and the truly spectacular sight was in the sea.

But in an instant, they saw the ships gathering around them and the noise in their ears, and they immediately came back to their senses.

The three of them, along with the husband of the woman on the boat and some enthusiastic fishermen on the boat, worked together to drag the middle-aged woman on board to the boat, and then followed the boat that climbed on.

After Ye Yaodong got on the boat, he sat directly in the corner panting and watching the others first aid.

All the surrounding ships also came over and watched with concern.

Fortunately, the middle-aged woman spit out a mouthful of water after first aid and woke up slowly.

The woman's husband was so happy that he almost burst into tears, and he kept thanking everyone without stopping, and said that he blamed himself for not being able to swim, and then left the addresses of a few people who helped, indicating that he would come to thank him after he went back.

After Ye Yaodong reported his home, he also climbed into his own boat, continued to sit and shake his arms, looking at the various big fish on the sea in the distance, and the picture he had just seen on the bottom of the sea flashed in his mind, with endless aftertastes and some more thoughts in his heart.

People's horizons need to be expanded, and when the horizon is wider, the pattern is bigger, and life will be wider.

Father Ye asked him to take off his wet clothes first and wear a coat to avoid catching a cold, it was only more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and no one was willing to go back early.

"And this watch, when did you buy it, a loser's thing, you can buy such an expensive thing......

Ye Yaodong took the watch and looked at the time, then put the watch in his pocket, and did not answer his father's question, but nagged him a few words if he liked to nag.

Father Ye also knew that his son had changed a lot in the past few months, and he didn't have the anger that he hated before when he didn't make steel, at most he loved to say a few words when he couldn't see it.

After resting, Father Ye let the boat ripple with the waves, they have to continue to work hard to catch a few more big fish, today is cloudy, the sky looks a little dark, they need to hurry.

….

When sorting out the fishing nets, Ye Yaodong found that in the continuous high-intensity casting, the fishing nets had been damaged in some places, and the loopholes were too big, all because the big fish were struggling too much. They can also continue to catch, but they are easy to leak fish, but they are mainly for catching big fish, and the sardines run away.

He rubbed the sore muscles in his arm, they didn't have the strength to cast their nets now, and they couldn't fully open their nets, and they didn't expect those sardines in the first place, as long as they could net a big fish.

Fortunately, their hopes have not been disappointed, there are still many big fish on the sea, and they are all running after the sardines, that is, there are relatively few fish to choose from within their field of vision, and they can only catch what they want.

Every time the goods come up, no matter how many sardines there are, the big fish will bring one, even if the two of them are tired and paralyzed, and they can't lift their hands, but they still hope to catch two more.

At this time, Ye Yaodong spotted the blue shark that was closest to them.

Before, they deliberately avoided those super-large whale sharks, which they couldn't catch, but they couldn't help it, only the big blue shark was closest to them in their field of vision.

Fortunately, the blue shark is the first small one among the sharks, this one is less than two meters long, and the body is slender, about 100 pounds, but there are also a lot of sardines in the net.

Although the shark's meat is not valuable, its fins are worth a lot of money, which is shark fin, which is better than catching a net of sardines.

After scattering the blue shark and the sardines caught together on the deck, the father and son were almost exhausted and paralyzed, leaning on the side of the boat, non-stop

gasped for breath, and both hands trembled violently.

"Dad, are you still caught? It's almost five o'clock."

Although the man can't say no, but the strength of man is exhausted, and he is really about to die of high-intensity physical work, he feels that his hands are no longer his own, and the boat is full of sardines, and some corners are piled up like small hills, and they have no place to put their feet.

The sky also darkened, it was dark in autumn and winter, but today it is still cloudy, and it is even darker.

The longlines were still lost in the sea behind them, and neither of them was willing to leave to collect them. If they miss this opportunity, they may not be able to meet it in the future, and they don't have extra food on the boat, so they can chase sardines for a day or two, and there are not so many ice cubes to keep fresh, so they all want to catch as many nets as possible now.

"Are you going back? It's a shame......

Father Ye also gasped for breath, and his hands were so sore that he couldn't lift them, but he was still reluctant to leave.

"Can you still lift your hands?" Ye Yaodong was also reluctant to leave, but there was no way, if they continued to stay, they could only watch there, chasing the sardines on the boat for a day or two, and they still didn't have the strength to catch them.

When it is broken, it is better to go back to rest early.

Although Father Ye was reluctant, he also knew that it was useless to stay any longer, he looked at the sea and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go back......

"Hey, wait, there's still the confiscation of the hook, what should we do, we're running out of energy?"

This Ye Yaodong also thought of it.

"Those row hooks, you can only throw it into the sea overnight, tomorrow I will ask the eldest brother and second brother to drive a boat to help me collect it, it should not be lost, by the way, take them to this sea area to trawl, the sardine storm has just passed, the goods in this sea area must be stronger than other seas."

….

"It's okay, but it's a pity, they don't know where to run today, and I didn't see my family's boat after looking around the sea."

"Well, then go back...... Huh?"

Ye Yaodong noticed that a marlin suddenly appeared on the sea next to him, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Father Ye also saw the marlin that suddenly appeared around them on the sea, and said fiercely, "Dongzi, catch another net one last time, catch that marlin and we will go back."

"Okay!"

This marlin is more than two meters long, about more than 100 catties, and it is considered a juvenile, and adult marlins are generally three or four meters long.

It is cobalt-blue at the top and silvery-white below; It has a pronounced dorsal fin and a long, deadly spear-like palate.

Ye Yaodong forcibly raised his arm to cast the net, and after catching it, both of them were overjoyed, which was equivalent to half the success, and they almost pulled it up.

The arms of the father and son, whose strength had been exhausted, burst out again.

Both of them had green muscles bulging on their hands and foreheads, gritting the back grooves of their teeth to exert their last strength, but this net was especially heavy for them.

They dragged the nets to the side of the boat, and were about to pull them harder, but they couldn't pull them up, so they had to stay there.

Ye Yaodong scolded in his mouth, he was depressed to death, he wanted to give up and felt pity, and he felt a little dilemma with Ye's father for a while.

In the last net, can't he catch a decent one?
