The night is quiet and gentle, but the sea at night looks imposing, but in the depths of darkness, there are also countless secrets.

The silvery-white waves on the left and right sides of the fishing boat became clearly visible under the reflection of the moonlight, and the waves spread out layer by layer, sparkling, forming a white luster.

After their boat sailed out of the fishing village for a certain distance, one or two points of light appeared on the sea from time to time, and they were also fishing boats, large and small, some bright as the sun, some faint as fireflies, they shuttled in and out of the night, silently moving forward.

Ye Yaodong looked ahead intently, discerning the direction of the boat, while Ye's father hung bait for longline fishing on the side.

That's right, the sticky net was taken back and left unreleased, and then they planned to continue longline fishing, with the trawl, for a month or two first, and then focus on catching squid.

After he drove the boat to the "responsibility field" that used to be dedicated to longline fishing, he also helped to hang the bait together, and then cooperated with each other to open the boat and release the fishing line.

As usual, there are 1,000 row hooks and ten bamboo baskets.

After finishing, he stacked the baskets one by one to narrow the space for stacking.

In other words, there are really many bamboo baskets in their house, because the use is really too wide, and it takes ten baskets to sort out a longline fishing line, not to mention the ones that need to be used to load fish on the boat.

His father is idle on weekdays, and the work on his hands has never been interrupted while sitting at the door, and their baskets are all made by his father when he is idle.

In the past, it was handed over to the brigade after weaving, and then it was occasionally used to sell in the market, but now it is all for their own families.

Father Ye saw that he had finished putting the fishing rope and sped up his boat, preparing to go to the place where he put the shrimp pots yesterday and put the shrimp pots away.

Actually, it's okay to wait for the return trip to come and collect it, but yesterday they caught two lobsters, which made them a little excited, and they thought about coming over to collect them early in the morning to see if there were any more.

Moreover, Ye Yaodong also thought about putting away the shrimp pot early in the morning, and then he would move it to a good place.

At this point, the sky was already a little hazy.

In the distance, they also saw the buoys floating on the sea, and Father Ye slowly slowed down and leaned over.

Ye Yaodong took a hook in his hand, and when the fishing boat was close to the float, he took the hook and hooked the float so that it was easy to reach it.

However, his luck is not very good today, there is not a single little green dragon in all the shrimp pots, there are not many sword shrimps, but there are a lot of red shrimps, and it is estimated that there are more than 20 catties.

It's just that these red shrimp are not big and not valuable, so they can only be used as bait or shelled to dry shrimp.

Father Ye was also a little disappointed, "It doesn't seem like there's anything today." ”

"If you don't have it, you won't have it, the sword shrimp should be able to sort five catties out, and the red shrimp will be taken back to peel the shell and dry the shrimp, this shrimp will definitely be easy to sell."

Father Ye nodded, the shrimp are delicious no matter how they are cooked, and those dried mussels are easy to sell, so there is no reason why the shrimp are not easy to sell.

It's just that he saw that he piled the cage in the corner and didn't continue to put it down, and he was a little puzzled.

"You're not putting shrimp pots anymore? Let's put it down together. ”

"I'm going to put the shrimp pots in a different place, you can drive the boat to the reef, be careful, don't hit the reef."

Father Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes, you can take it to the reef and see if you can put more lobsters and sea cucumbers?" Lobsters were caught the other day, and there must be more around the reef. ”

"That's what I thought, there was a lot of underwater over there last year, but the time in the water was short, so it was not easy to catch. Now the weather is not hot yet, it is not good to go into the water, just take the shrimp pot to put it, in case it is stuck and can't pull it up, forget it, don't want it, anyway, it doesn't cost money, don't feel distressed. ”

"That's okay, if these are gone, there are still a few rows of ground cages at home, and you can take them and put them in the hot weather." Father Ye said as he sailed the boat in the direction of the reef.

It looks like it's going to be a cloudy day today, it's completely bright, but there's no red light on the horizon, and there's still a bit of fog in the distance.

Father Ye kept his eyes fixed on the distance, and always felt that there was a ship docked there on the island, but it was a little foggy, and he couldn't see it very clearly.

"Dongzi, let's see if there is a boat on the island over there?"

Ye Yaodong was resting against the cabin, and when he heard his father's shouting, he hurriedly got up and walked over in confusion.

"What's the matter? It's so windy, didn't you hear what you just said? ”

Father Ye pointed to Huang Daiyu Island, "There seems to be a boat over there." ”

It was just dawn on this day, and the fishing boats were not operating at sea, but were directly docked on isolated islands, which made people a little confused.

"It seems that there is a real ship, and I don't know what the ship is doing on the island? Why don't we put it in a different way? ”

"Is it from our village? Send women to an isolated island and let them go down to dig for shells? ”

"Huh?" Father Ye thought about it was really possible, "Then don't worry about it, let's put our own cage by ourselves?" ”

"Put your own food, the shrimp pot is out of stock just after it is put down, and I am not afraid of being stolen, so we will work nearby later."

"Well, you don't have to worry about it for now."

On this island on the side, Ye Yaodong picked up the emperor ribbon fish the year before last, buried the corpse last year, and also picked up two dogs' heads.

It's not that he didn't want to go around the island again to see if he could get anything, but this island looks a little small from a distance, but it's not small to go around, and there are even pheasants and hares on it, and he then ran around idlely, just picked up a bunch of seabird eggs, and found nothing, so he gave up.

Thinking about the atmosphere he has brought up recently, many women in the village are eager to go to sea with him, and dig up shells in the sea.

Although he only accepts his brothers' and neighbors, he can't stand their relatives, so they can quietly take the relatives' homes to their own homes and sell them to him.

Ye Yaodong has weighed it three times, and he knows it when he sees that the number is more than the other, but it doesn't matter, this is also a win-win situation, and if he comes more, he can sell more.

The father and son didn't care about this idea, and put their own shrimp pots by themselves, but they would look at them from time to time.

However, when they finished the shrimp pots, the fishing boats on the island were still motionless.

"Drag the big fishing nets out of the cabin, don't care, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, let's do ours." Father Ye said.

"Hmm."

The father and son cooperated with each other and continued to release the net.

Although they put a lot of nets, it would be a waste of time for them to tell them to go back like this and come out again tomorrow to collect them, and they would rather drag two more nets at sea.

It's just that the father and son found that they had dragged the two nets back around, and the fishing boat was still docked at Huangdaiyu Island, swaying with the waves, and did not leave.

Father Ye frowned, "Dongzi, it seems that the boat should not be from our village, if you let the women go down to search for the sea, they will also return to the sea to work, and they will stop there for a day." ”

"Maybe people are specially driving boats to explore the sea? Haven't we ever done this kind of thing? ”

"Then when we bring your mother and your in-laws to come, they also dock every once in a while, and when it's time to trawl, they are also trawling, and they don't stop there all day and wait, maybe there is a fishing boat breakdown."

"If it's a fault for help, the other party must be on the boat and can see that our ship is nearby, how can he not shake the flag for help?"

He thinks that his father thinks too much, like him, didn't he also take Aqing to go out to Taohai once while he was fifteen?

However, he didn't go so far, and only chose a small island around the coast.

Father Ye thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then let's collect the longline fishing and go back, the shrimp pot has just been put down for a long time, let's collect it again tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

It was only in the early morning of the next day, when they finished longline fishing and came to collect shrimp pots, they found that a boat was approaching on the edge of Huangdaiyu Island, and it stopped after a while.

The father and son paid attention to it, thinking that it was the boat on the island that did not finish the sea shopping yesterday, and continued today, and the two were attracted by the sea cucumber and the little green dragon in the shrimp pot, so they didn't pay attention to it, and only focused on collecting the shrimp pot.

"I still have to put it in this piece, there is another sea cucumber in this cage."

Ye Yaodong untied the net in his hand, poured the goods into the bamboo basket, and when the black and fat sea cucumber fell into the basket, he flicked it twice.

Father Ye smiled and grabbed the sea cucumber first and threw it into the bucket, "I collected two rows, caught four sea cucumbers and three lobsters, it's okay." ”

"This location is a treasure trove of feng shui."

"There are still a few rows that are about to be harvested, and they will continue to trawl after harvesting, and there are not many goods in the past two days, and I don't know if they are all migrating, just put a few sea cucumber lobsters in the shrimp pot to subsidize it."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong tied up the fish bag again, and then threw the shrimp pot aside, handed it to his father to tidy up, and put it down again later, he still had to put the rest of the shrimp pot away.

It's just that he pulled the buoy several times and didn't pull the shrimp pot.

"It's over, it's just the first day I put it down, I have to lose a row, and I got stuck with my father."

"Stuck?"

"Well, there are reefs underneath, and they may be placed in uneven positions, or they may be caught by the waves underground, and they can't be pulled."

"I'll try." Father Ye took a piece of rope in his hand without giving up, and tried it, but he really couldn't pull it up.

"Forget it, don't pull, don't tear the thread. Tie the buoy and keep throwing it here, if you're lucky and don't get swept away by the waves, wait until it's hotter and see if you can get it back in the water? ”

"Well, then I'll try the last two."

Unexpectedly, Father Ye tried to pull one, but he couldn't pull it and was stuck.

"Again?"

"No, I'm stuck again." Father Ye's brows were furrowed, he just sent it down yesterday, and he lost two of them at once today, this loss is too big, right?

Ye Yaodong was also speechless, he was stuck in two rows in just one day, this loss was big, but fortunately it was a business without capital.

"There's another row, I'll try. If you can collect it, change the position and move it to the side, because the province is too close to the reef and it is easy to get stuck. ”

As he spoke, he drove the boat forward for a short while, and the last buoy was swept away by the waves.

But fortunately, this one was not stuck, and it was smoothly collected, and it was able to keep three rows, and in this row of ten shrimp pots, a total of two sea cucumbers and two small green dragons were poured out.

"It's a little comfort."

"You go and drive the boat, go to the side, don't get too close to the reef, I'll let it go."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong did so and went to drive the boat, but when he drove forward, he looked at the four roads and noticed the boat on the island.

As soon as his father finished putting the rest of the shrimp pots, he said, "Dad, let's either get closer and see which village's boat it is?" ”

"It's okay, if you're curious, let's take a look, anyway, the signs are wrong, we can run first."

It's okay to dock at the isolated island for two days this day, if the boat is here every day in the future, then how will he put branches to catch squid next month? It's time to dry up again.

And how do you get into the water when it's hot?

Since they had docked there, it was nothing for them to sail over to see which village's boat it was, and if anything happened, the boat docked there would certainly not run as fast as theirs.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't expect it to come true.

When they had sailed over, they had not yet come close, and after a short distance, they immediately turned around in surprise and left.

I'm too sleepy, there's still a chapter to make up tomorrow. One day of mental relaxation, one day of decadence.
