Four o'clock in the morning.

The sea was shrouded in mist.

Zhao Dahai was cautious, cheered up his spirit, and followed Zhong Shizhu closely, not far or close, keeping enough distance, you have to pay attention to this weather, you must not lose your way,

Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea, and there were many lights in almost every direction.

All of them go out to sea to catch orchid crabs?

These lights are moving and the direction is almost the same as my own people, it is very likely that they are all rushing to catch orchid crabs, I was early enough to think that there are many people who are early.

Zhao Dahai frowned, the price of orchid crabs is high, the smaller ones are seventy or eighty yuan a catty, and the larger ones are one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan a catty, and a fishing boat like himself catches ten catties a day is enough to earn a thousand yuan, and they must all rush to go to sea and rush to release the nets.

What to do?

With so many fishing boats, it's not easy to find a place to put your nets, but even if you can find them, how much can you catch?

Zhao Dahai shook his head, he has come here, and when he arrives at the place, Zhong Shizhu and the others are more experienced, see how they decide.

The sea breeze is getting stronger.

The fog on the surface of the water slowly dispersed.

The line of sight is getting clearer and clearer.

Zhao Dahai found that there were more and more lights around him, and some fishing boats were very close, driving directly past him, and Zhong Shizhu's fishing boats, which had been following, began to speed up, and immediately followed, overtaking one fishing boat after another.

Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Shizhu stop, and immediately leaned over, and after a while, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin all leaned over, and the four fishing boats surrounded each other.

"What should I do?"

"There are too many fishing boats, right?"

Zhong Shizhu glanced around, there must be at least ten of them clearly, and from a distance, he couldn't see clearly but the lights were on one after another, and the place in front of him was full of fishing boats.

"There's no way."

"Isn't that the case every year?"

"As soon as the orchid crab comes out, the fishing boats all rush over, and I'd rather not catch it myself than let others catch it, anyway, as long as I can catch three or five catties of enough oil money, ten catties can earn a lot."

Lei Dayou smiled, this is not just what others think, but also what he thinks.

"Hah!"

"Who's to say it isn't? It's just that there are a little more fishing boats this year. ”

Liu Bin took out a cigarette and lit one, took a hard puff, the fishing boats around him were full of lights, and when he looked back at the direction he came, more lights were moving towards him.

Zhao Dahai pointed to some of the surrounding fishing boats and asked Zhong Shizhu if they were waiting for the tide, and they would take turns to release the fishing nets, and whether they could catch them depends on their luck.

Zhong Shizhu nodded, this place can catch a lot of orchid crabs every year, there are many fishing boats, and slowly form a rule, those who come early line up in front and those who come later, and when the tide arrives, they put fishing nets into the sea every other time.

Zhao Dahai found that this was similar to the last trip with Zhong Shizhu and a few people fishing for groupers, and he tiptoed to look ahead, and there were many fishing boats in front of him.

"Bell Stone Pillar."

"Shall we try somewhere else? There are quite a few fishing boats lined up in front of us. I don't know when it's our turn, but it's almost dawn. ”

"I really don't know if I can catch it."

Liu Bin is a little worried, there are too many fishing boats this year, and if they came at this time in previous years, they would almost be in the front, but this year it seems that they are at least 50 to 60 fishing boats behind.

"There are indeed more fishing boats this year, but now when I rush to other places, the sky is already bright, and the key is that there are not many orchid crabs in other places."

Zhong Shizhu had a headache.

"I can't get anywhere else now, I can't get there, I can only be here."

Lei Dayou did not approve of rushing to another place now.

Liu Bin thought about it and nodded, time is indeed a problem, and it can only be calculated.

Zhao Dahai didn't speak, this was the first time he had caught an orchid crab. Zhong Shizhu has a lot of experience, and he listens to the greetings and does his work, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

"It's coming!"

"The tide is coming! Let's hurry up and get ready, the fishing boat ahead should now start releasing crab nets! ”

Zhong Shizhu kept his eyes on the surface of the sea, and soon noticed that the water began to flow.

Zhao Dahai was in good spirits, and immediately started with Lei Dayou and Liu Bin to sort out the fishing nets placed on the fishing boat, and it was easier to put them in the sea after a while.

"Huh?"

"What's going on? Why did all the fishing boats in front of them go back or leave? ”

Zhao Dahai had just sorted out the fishing nets, and suddenly heard Zhong Shizhu shouting, and looked up to see that the bright lights of the fishing boats at the front were moving, which was not particularly obvious at first, and slowly these lights all went out and left.

Zhao Dahai was confused and didn't know what was going on.

"No, right?"

"These fishing boats are really leaving!"

……

"Are these people crazy?"

……

Liu Bin and Lei Da have a word from you, and more and more fishing boats are leaving, all of which are the ones in front.

Zhao Dahai quickly found something in the sea surface by the light of the fishing boat, looked carefully, and it was really a clump of seaweed, and immediately shouted.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin immediately looked down at the sea, and their faces were very ugly.

"Damn!"

"No wonder all the fishing boats in front of you have run away!"

……

"Hey!"

"It's over! I can only run for nothing today! ”

……

"I can't put this net down!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou are very helpless, there is not only seaweed in the sea, but also a lot, the fishing nets are all seaweed in the sea, the entire fishing net will be wasted, there are more orchid crabs in the sea bath and want to catch, they must be gone, not that there is no one, but the number is definitely not much.

"It's going to rain! Mother wants to get married! ”

"Who can take care of the Sea Dragon King's affairs?"

Zhao Dahai is a little helpless, fishing is often like this, the wind and the sun are beautiful before going to sea, nothing is wrong, but when I get to the place, I see all kinds of things wrong, today this kind of fishing net can't be put into the sea, it doesn't happen often but it's not strange at all.

"Looks like we have to go home!"

Zhong Shizhu waited for a while, not only more and more seaweed and seaweed, but also the flow of seawater is getting faster and faster, clumps of seaweed and seaweed flashed, and the crab nets were all large mesh slender lines, maybe they would break through at once. Orchid crab supplement can't be done, so you have to pay for the fishing net.

Liu Bin and Lei Da have no opinions, there are too many seaweeds and seaweeds in the sea, coupled with the fast flow of seawater, it's really not a joke, the fishing nets must all be scrapped, the fishing boats in front of them have almost gone, and many of the fishing boats in the back already know what is going on, and they are leaving one after another, and there is a loud curse faintly on the sea, getting up at two or three o'clock in the morning, blowing the sea breeze and burning the oil money to rush here, the fishing nets have not been put and have to reply, the mood is very bad, and the day is in vain.

Zhao Dahai nodded, this matter has to be listened to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Dada.

"Damn!"

"Thieves don't go empty!"

"If you can't catch orchids, crabs, seaweeds, and seaweed, you have to fish them back!"

Zhao Dahai looked at the clumps of seaweed and seaweed in the seawater, a little annoyed, reached out and fished a handful, and when he was about to throw it on the deck, he found that something was wrong.

Hey?

What's going on?

Why is it like this?

Zhao Dahai took a serious look, and the leaves of the seaweed he was holding in his hand were gnawed messily, and the bite was obvious.

What bites?

Fish, or simply crabs?

Zhao Dahai furrowed his brows.

Fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea eat seaweed or seaweed.

Crabs are omnivores and eat seaweed, seaweed, shrimp or even conch.

These seaweeds and seaweeds rushed by the flowing water, these openings on them must have been bitten by something, very fresh, and the kind that has just been bitten for a short time will definitely not exceed a day.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and fished several more balls, each of which was carefully looked at, all of them were the same, there were bites, some were more, some were less, and the leaves of some seaweed were almost gnawed away, leaving only one head.

What the hell is it?

Is it a fish or a crab, or is it simply a shrimp?

Zhao Dahai couldn't tell the difference.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"What for?"

"Let's go, let's go! The other fishing boats are already almost gone! ”

Zhong Shizhu saw Zhao Dahai fishing seaweed from the sea, he didn't know what he wanted to do, this thing is not a rare thing, there is never a shortage of this thing on the beach, some seasons, the whole sea, the whole beach including the beach, all kinds of seaweed and seaweed, very annoying, no one likes it.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"What are you doing here!?"

……

"What's so nice about this thing?"

……

Liu Bin and Lei Da are the same, they don't know what Zhao Dahai is doing, and they are loudly urging them to hurry up and leave home, whether they sleep or do something else, it is better than staying here.

Zhao Dahai put his finger to his mouth and made a small gesture.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were confused about what these clumps of seaweed and seaweed could have floating over with the seawater.

"Hey!"

"Zhao Dahai, what did you find?"

Lei Dayou took a puff of his cigarette and shouted.

"What for?"

"Didn't Zhao Dahai tell us to be quiet?"

"Shouting so loudly, the surrounding fishing boats can hear it!"

Zhong Shizhu suppressed his voice, shouted and glared at Lei Dayou fiercely, I don't know what Zhao Dahai is doing, but there must be a reason, in case it is a good thing, shouting so loudly and attracting the attention of other fishing boats around him who have not yet left.

Lei Dayou was stunned for a moment and reacted, and immediately turned his head to look around, there were not many fishing boats, and they were all leaving, and no one noticed him, so he was relieved.

"What the hell is Zhao Dahai looking at?"

Lei Dayou turned his head and asked Liu Bin in a low voice.

"Hey!"

"How do I know?"

Liu Bin didn't dare to move, didn't dare to fish for seaweed and seaweed, for fear of attracting the attention of the fishing boats around him who didn't leave too far, no matter what Zhao Dahai was looking at or what he found, he would definitely say after a while, just wait.

Zhao Dahai fished seven or eight groups of seaweed and seaweed a year, each of which was carefully looked at, each of which was carefully turned over, and there were fresh bites on it, and some seaweed and seaweed had some conch shells sandwiched between them, without exception, all of them were empty, and some had residual meat crumbs.

Zhao Dahai put down the seaweed and seaweed he was holding in his hand, looked up and looked around, in just twenty minutes or so, almost all the fishing boats around him left, and the nearest one was already fifty meters away.

Zhao Dahai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that no one has noticed these seaweeds and seaweeds in the sea, this is not surprising, these things are too common, fishermen are very annoying, it takes a long time to hang on the fishing net to be able to take it off, and if you hang too much, the whole fishing net will not be used and scrapped directly.

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou, all of whom looked at him very anxiously, but they didn't speak immediately, and waited for another half an hour until there were no fishing boats and no lights on the surrounding sea.

"The sea!"

"All the fishing boats around are almost gone! What did you find? ”

Zhong Shizhu held back for a long time, and he really couldn't help it at this time.

"These seaweeds and seaweeds have been eaten by something!"

Zhao Dahai did not continue to sell Guanzi.

"Huh?"

"Is that really what it looks like?"

……

"No, right?"

……

"What will you eat?"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately reached out and fished out a few clumps of seaweed, and looked at them carefully for a while, and everyone had a look of ecstasy on their faces.

"Damn!"

"It's a crab's bite!"

……

"Hey!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have noticed it!"

……

"Rich!"

……

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin, you and I are very excited, the sea can't see what kind of seaweed and seaweed this thing bites, but these people are experienced, and they know it at a glance.

Why is this so?

It must be that these seaweeds and seaweeds are followed by huge crab schools, and even now there are crabs in the seawater, but the sea water is a little deep and invisible. The other fishing boats that came here to catch orchid crabs saw that the sea was full of seaweed and seaweed, but they didn't expect such a thing, and they were all leaving.

"Quick!"

"Hurry up and release your nets!"

Liu Bin was very anxious. There are a lot of seaweeds and seaweeds in the sea, and if you add the speed of the seawater, if you put the fishing nets into the sea, it will definitely be seriously damaged, but it is different if there are crabs.

Zhao Dahai immediately stopped, pointed around, all of them had already left, some of the distance was not too far, faintly visible lights, at this time it was the four fishing boats to release the fishing nets, it was very likely to attract attention, there may indeed be orchid crabs in the sea, not to be in a hurry, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years.

Liu Bin nodded immediately, he really couldn't be in a hurry.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin admired it very much, if there was no Zhao Dahai, they would have already left like other fishing boats, missing the crab school in vain, the people who caught it saw a large number of seaweed and seaweed, few would look closely, no one would have thought that there might be a big crab group, or Zhao Dahai was just lucky, anyway, Zhao Dahai just found a group of crabs, and he couldn't accept it.

Zhao Dahai carefully looked at the surrounding sea, did not see other fishing boats and did not see the lights, and then looked at the sky, it was almost dawn, and he couldn't wait any longer, the sky was bright, especially when the sun rose, most of the orchid crabs would sink to the bottom of the water and hide in the mud and sand, which was not easy to catch.

"Quick!"

"Now put the crab net!"

Zhao Dahai waved his hand.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou, and Liu Bin couldn't wait, and immediately began to release fishing nets, four people and four fishing boats, each fishing boat with a fishing net of 3,000 meters.

"Tubu!"

"Tubu!"

"Tubu!"

The sea is wide, and the sound of diesel engines of fishing boats can be heard far away.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat, and the sorted fishing net was like a snake as the fishing boat moved forward, and it fell out of the side of the boat and fell into the sea water and immediately sank, and the seaweed and seaweed hung on it, more and more and more heavier, sinking to the deeper sea water.

Half of the sun was showing its head in the sky, red and red, and a gust of wind blew, and all the fog on the water disappeared at once, and the vision was very open.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's fishing boat leaned together, and the four of them had just finished putting the crab nets, drinking water in a big gulp and resting.

"Hey!"

"I wonder if there are any orchid crabs?"

Liu Bin wiped the corner of his mouth, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and began to suffer a little bit from gains and losses.

"Hah!"

"How can you be 100% sure of it?"

"But today we all got it right!"

Zhong Shizhu's smiling eyes couldn't see.

"Huh?"

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Bin turned his head to look at Zhong Shizhu.

"When did you follow Zhao Dahai out to fish and didn't catch a fish?"

"Zhao Dahai is our good money boy!"

Zhong Shizhu pointed at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai couldn't laugh or cry a little, but the time of the sea bass and the time of the stone fishing class really caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou rested for an hour, and began to pull the crab net, three fishing boats lowered the iron anchor, four people in a fishing boat, one person drove the boat, one person pulled the fishing net, two people untied the crabs and tied the crabs, and they took turns to rest when they were tired.

Zhong Shizhu rushed to pull the fishing net first, wanting to see if there were any orchid crabs for the first time.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and quickly found the first fishing net that was put down, and the water was very large, almost half a nautical mile away.

Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, and the bow of the boat approached the float floating on the sea. Zhong Shizhu bent down, reached out and grabbed the float, picked it up, threw it on the deck, and began to pull the fishing net with his hands alternately.

Zhong Shizhu was a little nervous, a little trembling at the beginning, while pulling the crab net, while staring down at the sea, the water was not deep, and soon the net head of the fishing net was pulled up, full of seaweed and seaweed, faintly visible, mixed with something in the middle.

"!"

"It's not an orchid crab!"

Zhong Shiban stopped, looked at it carefully for a while, recognized what it was, and yelled excitedly.

Thank you so much for your support! Thank you!
