The long beak pierced the water, which was very intimidating, but the wise eyes were not very competitive.

The swordfish shook its head a few times, then fell heavily and made a splash.

Lying on its side on the water, it was too tired to move, letting the waves push its body and crash into the boat.

Zhang Ze took the opportunity to pick up the javelin placed at his feet and stabbed it at the swordfish.

The swordfish writhed in pain, but the rope at the end of the javelin was tied to the side of the boat and pulled at it, preventing it from making violent movements.

Blood was scattered on the surface of the sea, but it was quickly dispersed after being washed away by the waves.

Zhang Ze didn't wait for the swordfish to die, but quickly took the fishing rod off the base and pulled it to the stern of the boat.

The neighborhood is quiet, and now it's half past three in the morning, and the fishermen who have come back in this weather have long gone to sleep.

Those who didn't come back either hid on a nearby island or capsized and fed the fish.

The stern of the ship was dark, and he could barely see it by the light in the corridor on the left.

Dragged the swordfish to the small door, opened the small door and quickly reached out to touch the fish, and the swordfish on the surface of the water disappeared suddenly.

At the same time, the waves rushed down the stairs outside the small door to the deck, wetting Zhang Ze's shoes.

He hurriedly closed the small door, took the fishing rod back and put away the pedestal on the side of the boat, and put the fishing rod in the wheelhouse first.

[Successfully caught a swordfish, weighing 378.53 catties, experience +100.] 】

Yes, there are a hundred experience points more than the Tiger Shark. But at the same weight, swordfish are indeed more difficult to catch than tiger sharks.

Then he went to the foredeck, first looked at the dying swordfish in the space, and felt that it could hold on for a while, so he hurriedly entered the fish compartment and carried the quilt out.

Then, without waiting for space to repel the swordfish, he took the initiative to take out the swordfish and put it on the deck.

The barrel-sized swordfish appeared on the deck, still a little thinner than the tiger shark, but not much.

At this time, the swordfish had no strength to move, and Zhang Ze didn't give it another hammer in the brain.

He went and took out the bloodletting knife, and the swordfish was so cool that he cut the blood inside the gills of the swordfish, under the pectoral fins, and on the tail.

The rain was rapid, and several buckets on the deck were already full of water.

Zhang Ze lifted a bucket and rushed to the position of the gills of the fish, and a large amount of swordfish blood water suddenly emerged from the tail, and then it was washed away by the rain and flowed into the sea along the drainage hole.

After pouring out the water in the buckets on the deck, the blood of the swordfish was almost gone, so he covered the quilt so that the fish would not be washed away by the rain all the time.

After doing this, Zhang Ze took off his shoes that were wet with the seawater, went to get a brush to clean them in the rain, and then returned to the cabin.

He was not tired of fishing this swordfish with similar physical exertion, and he didn't sweat on his body, so he simply rushed down and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Ze felt in a daze that he had caught a swordfish in a dream.

At this time, the fishing boat didn't feel shaking at all, and subconsciously looked at the watch and found that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

When I got dressed and walked out of the cabin, I saw a group of people on their foredeck, surrounding a swordfish about three meters and a half.

Tong Yuanhang faced the door of the cabin sideways, so he saw him standing at the door for the first time: "Yo, Aze is up!" What's the situation, why did you have a big fish on your boat after we slept well? ”

Zhang Zhenghong said in a joking tone: "Did you secretly get up to fish last night?" ”

Zhang Ze blinked his eyes and gradually came back to his senses, remembering what happened at night: "At night, this swordfish hit my boat, and it looked dizzy at the time, so I got it directly." ”

Zhang Qinghe suddenly felt heartbroken: "My ship is also on the outside, why can't I encounter such a good thing, I would have changed places with Aze if I knew it!" ”

"Is it possible that there are actually fish that have touched our boat, but unfortunately you slept like a pig and didn't wake up at all?"

As soon as Zhang Qinghu's words came out, Zhang Qinghe froze suddenly, and then he looked at his brother resentfully: "Brother, I'm my younger brother, why do you like to tear down my platform so much?" ”

"Who made me and Aze have a stupid brother!" Zhang Qinghu smiled and stepped forward and patted Zhang Ze's shoulder affectionately, both of them are people with stupid younger brothers!

The weather is fine, and you can go to sea normally.

Zhang Ze still had shrimp pots that he hadn't received, and he didn't know if he was still there, and Tong Yuanhang and several people also had fishing nets or longlines that were confiscated, so the group set off separately after untying the cable.

He didn't go with him, but went to the dock to land, then picked up his bicycle and rode it to his cousin's house.

It's also a coincidence, as soon as I arrived, I saw my cousin-in-law Lu Zhou, who was in a mess.

"Brother-in-law, what are you?"

"Last night, the storm came suddenly, and I received a task to go to sea to search and rescue the fishermen who could not return in time." Lu Zhou was not surprised when he saw him, knowing that he was here to pick up his mother back.

"How's it going?" Zhang Ze said hello to his cousin and aunt who came out, and then followed Lu Zhou into the house, and asked casually.

Lu Zhou sighed and shook his head gloomily: "There are six fishermen who are missing, and at present, other comrades have replaced us and continue to search and rescue at sea." ”

Zhang Ze was also silent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After losing contact for a night, they were basically buried in the sea. There are many small islands near Nanping Island, but he estimates that the search and rescue boats must have searched for them on the island.

In this era, the risk of going out to sea to fish is indeed relatively high for fishermen, the weather at sea changes, and the equipment of fishing boats is far less than that of later generations.

This is also the reason why he directly buys a big boat if there is a big boat, and it is indeed safer when encountering bad weather.

Unless he accidentally hit the rocks, but Zhang Ze has always paid attention to this.

Originally, he came to his cousin's house to pick up people, but because of last night's storm, there will be search and rescue and patrol missions in Luzhou in the next few days.

And his cousin is also pregnant at present, so in the end, Luzhou's mother decided to stay for a while, and Zhang Ze, who didn't receive anyone, could only go back alone.

He drove the boat first to the place where he got off the shrimp pot, and as expected, the shrimp pot had long been pushed by the waves and did not know where to go.

At this time, Zhang Qinghe's scolding voice also sounded on the radio: "Damn, my fishing nets have been twisted into a piece of twist, and the fish in it are all dead." ”

Zhang Ze's few mantras were learned by him.

Tong Yuanhang's helpless voice sounded: "Isn't it the same on my side?" ”

Zhang Zhenghong: "The fishing net on my side was collected first, and the lower longline was entangled with the reef below, and it didn't pull up for a long time, so I could only cut off the position of the bottom." ”

When Zhang Ze heard this, he immediately stopped: "Everyone can bring things back, don't stay at the bottom of the sea." ”

What remains is marine debris, and can even pose a deadly danger to some aquatic life.

Hearing him say this, although Tong Yuanhang and his party didn't understand why, they all listened to his opinion.

Zhang Ze himself didn't go back immediately, trying to find his shrimp pot, but if he couldn't find it, there was no way.

Fortunately, in the end, he successfully found the shrimp pot woven by Tong Shuyao on a reef, and the shrimp cage was wrapped around the reef so it was not pushed away by the waves. There are still a lot of white shrimp in it, but unfortunately they are all dead.

None of the shrimp pots woven from bamboo baskets were found, and it is estimated that they all sank to the bottom of the sea.

When the group was done, they sailed back together.

Back at the wharf to sell fish, Zhang Ze explained to Lu Xuanguo the situation on Xia Nanping Island by the way.

This time, because of the storm, Tong Yuanhang and the others' harvest has decreased to varying degrees compared with before, but Zhang Ze didn't have that much impact, he just finished the longline before the storm came.

The silver pomfret sold for more than 150 pieces, mainly because of its lighter weight, and the anglerfish only sold for more than 70 pieces.

The cobia didn't take it out, so it wasn't sold.

At the same time, there are more than 20 silver pomfret in the space, and the grouper himself is only about 270 catties this time, plus Tong Yuanhang and others are just over 1,000 catties.

This is the result of their going to sea a day earlier, or even less.

After the grouper was sold to Ou Shuxiang, Zhang Ze calculated the income this time, and it was just over 800 yuan.

There was still a swordfish on the boat that was not sold, and Zhang Ze asked Zhang Qinghe to help inform Zhao Xianghua and waited for him to come over.

The aquatic station also collects swordfish, but unfortunately the price is only six cents and eight, and it is estimated that more than 300 catties will be sold for more than 200 yuan.

Soon, Zhao Xianghua came over on a motorcycle, because Zhang Qinghe was following behind, he knew that Zhang Ze had not notified other restaurants, so he was very satisfied.

He also gave a good price for the swordfish, three hundred and fifty yuan, nearly one pound.

It was less than Zhang Ze expected, but the swordfish was not as popular as eel and grouper, and it was normal that the price could not be sold.

After all, the swordfish of more than three meters is occasionally caught by fishermen, but the one-meter-five eel and the grouper are the king of fish, and the king of fish shows that it is extremely rare, and it is likely that there will be no one in a year, and it is normal to sell at a sky-high price.

Zhang Ze simply rinsed the position where the swordfish on the front deck had been lying, then tidied up the fish cabin, and then prepared to go back.

"Aze, let's go together, I have something to tell you, and by the way, I'll go to your place to see Shu Yao." Tong Yuanhang had been waiting for him, and when he saw that he was about to go home, he immediately stepped forward and said.

Not only him, but also the Scout Qiang Tong Guoqi is also there, obviously going to follow along.

Zhang Ze knew that they must have something important when he looked at this posture, so he nodded: "Okay, let's talk about something at my house." ”

Back at home, Tong Shuyao was very happy to see a few brothers coming, and Zhang's mother was even more hospitable, inviting them to eat fish balls.

A few people didn't eat much in the morning, and they happened to be hungry, so they took the opportunity to eat some fish balls to pad their stomachs.

Knowing that Tong Yuanhang was in trouble, Zhang Ze took them to his own house, and after eating fish balls, he opened his mouth to ask.

Tong Yuanhang looked at his sister, groaned and said, "There is a letter from Hong Kong Island, which was sent by my grandmother. ”

Tong Shuyao's eyes widened in surprise: "Grandma! Great, grandma is still here, so mom knows? ”

Tong Yuanhang nodded: "The address of my home has not changed, and the letter was sent directly to the island." ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Grandma was still there, Tong Shuyao was extremely happy, but she couldn't guess the purpose of her brother's coming over for a while.

"Mom wanted to go to the south, and said she wanted to find a way to go to Hong Kong Island. If she wants to go, Dad will have to accompany her, and to be honest, I am a little worried, so I came to discuss with Aze. ”
