The Fisherwoman Catches the Sea and Makes a Fortune Verse 52
Dongzhu immediately stood up, "Okay, I know, I'll wait at home." ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was standing outside the shop yawning, saw Haizhu passing by, and asked her if she was going to catch red oil crabs today.
"Go to sea today, talk about it tomorrow."
"I heard you caught a moray eel the day before yesterday? Pay more attention to the sea today, catch one for me, the price is negotiable. ”
Haizhu didn't say anything.
"Will it be successful? You give a word. I know that you also own a restaurant, and the one you open is just to make yourself happy, and the business between our two families is not in conflict. The shopkeeper of the restaurant followed Haizhu, lowered his voice and said, "Every time you go to the sea, help us find some good ingredients, and I will introduce you to customers." ”
Haizhu was a little moved and looked at him more.
"Really, your restaurant is in an alley, and you can only rely on the fragrance to attract customers, and when you want to make money, you help me, and I will help you."
"What do you mean by good ingredients?" Haizhu asked.
"Don't worry, I don't make strange requests to embarrass people, I share half of the prawns and crabs you catch on the bottom of the sea, which is bigger than the fishermen's catch, even the big oysters." Seeing that he was about to walk out of the street, the shopkeeper of the restaurant kept moving, and followed Haizhu to the dock, looking at the vast and boundless sea, he didn't know how many good things were hidden under the sea, and he thought to himself that it would be good if he had Haizhu's ability.
"Eel, tabby fish, snapper, sea bass, all the other mess." He stressed.
"I'll divide you if you have more, forget if you don't." Haizhu said that she removed the wooden fence and pushed the old turtle out of the car.
The shopkeeper came to her and helped carry the turtle onto the boat.
Waiting for the boat to leave, he pushed the wooden cart over to Dongzhu.
Haizhu squatted next to the old turtle, looked at the sea and asked, "Old turtle, which direction are we going in today, you look up and point in a direction." ”
The old turtle did not move, and after a while she did not see her splashing it, and with a lift of its neck, it was about to climb to the bow of the boat and jump into the sea.
The direction was set, Haizhu carried water and poured it on it, raised the sails and quickly left people's sight.
It's the third of March, today coincides with the day of the big tide, the waves on the sea are a little big, a big wave hits, the bow jumps up, the tide swells on the board from the stern, Haizhu is shaken and staggered, and only stands firm by holding on to the mast. The old turtle was unlucky, and was turned upside down on all fours, and rolled from the bow of the boat a few times to the middle of the boat.
Haizhu lowered the sails of the ship, helped the old turtle turn over and pushed it into the sea first, and she followed the net pocket and jumped from the stern of the boat with a pointed axe.
The tide of the sea was churning, and the fish and shrimp were stirred up, dizzily drifting with the current, and were swept into the deep sea by the waves.
The old turtle vigorously paddled its fin to swim in the lower sea, it was not light, but it was not as powerful as the tide, and a wave could sweep it seven or eight miles away.
Haizhu blocked it with the handle of the knife, dragged the old turtle's fin up, wrapped one hand around it, and then stopped struggling, and was swept by the wave like a seaweed with the fish and shrimp.
When the tide suddenly unloaded the force, a person and a turtle immediately sank, Haizhu let go of the old turtle, there was a force to support her to float, she patted the old turtle, said: "You are quite heavy, and you have gained weight again?" ”
A group of fish came in front of her, and the bells and whistles were frightening, Haizhu hurriedly swam to the bottom of the sea, and the old turtle followed her, avoiding the dense group of fish.
This seabed is not shallow, the upper layer of the sea is blue, to the lower layer of the blue-black, more is the reason for the reef, there is a reef forest on the bottom of the sea, like a cave in the sea, soaked in the water all year round immortal.
Tridacnus probably won't live in this environment, but Haizhu still sneaked in with the old turtle, the peaks and pillars are strangely shaped, only the small fish that eat the rock algae are attached to it, and then it is close to the bottom of the sea, there are seagrass and gravel, and there are more active creatures.
The turtle suddenly changed direction, and Haizhu followed, finding hundreds of sea urchins on the edge of a seagrass thicket taller than her. The sea urchin is eating seaweed, and in the sand on the side, a crab is eating the sea urchin, and the sea urchin yellow floating in the sea water is sucked into the mouth by the sea anemone.
The old turtle swam to Haizhu with a large urchin, Haizhu skillfully pried it open, and then untied the net pocket, both net pockets were used, and most of this group of sea urchins came into her hands.
She waited for the old turtle to finish eating, and then opened two more for it, grabbed the crab that tried to eat it, and swam one turtle to the surface of the sea.
A flock of seabirds circled by, and when they saw a human head emerging from the sea, they quacked twice and flapped their wings away.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and above the dark clouds was the shining sun, and wisps of light sprinkled through the cracks in the dark clouds. Haizhu looked up and thought that he had come to the jungle, and under the towering umbrella, the sun illuminated the dark and damp dense forest.
Heaven and earth are infinite, and man is as small as a grain of sand in it.
Chapter 66: Rewarding
People are far away from the ship, the sea beads are covered in the hazy light and swim in the direction of the boat, and when she is tired of swimming, she lies on the surface of the sea to rest for a while, and the current of the sea pushes her forward slowly.
The clouds of heaven were blown away by the wind, and gathered together in the beyond.
Haizhu stepped on the wooden ladder to climb onto the boat, untied the two nets that fell from her waist and put them on the board, she first raised the sails and moved freely by the boat. Then he twisted his wet hair and went to the stern of the boat to cast a net to pick up the old turtle, took off his wet clothes, and wore a belly pocket and took a broom to sweep the stagnant water on the board.
Her bare back was scorching in the sun, Haizhu stretched her waist, she often swam in the sea, her body was smooth and fatless, her arms and legs were slender and powerful, and her whole body was sunburned, and only the flesh on her buttocks and stomach was white.
A seabird flew tired and landed on the roof of the cabin on the second floor, staring at the people walking around the boat with two mung bean eyes open.
Haizhu carried the net bag to the bottom warehouse, and the sea urchin was poured into the bath bucket, and two more buckets of seawater were poured into it. She was a little hungry, and too lazy to bother to make a fire, so she went to the board with a scoop of a few sea urchins, sat cross-legged in the bow of the boat, and pried open the sea urchins with a knife.
The seaweed they had just eaten had not yet been digested, and Haizhu bent down to pinch the sea urchin and soaked it in the sea, and the current washed away the cheeks, lungs and stomach, and the remaining sea urchin yellow was firmly on the shell.
The old turtle crawled up to the smell, and waited with her legs stretched out and her neck.
The seabird on the roof of the cabin turned in one direction, staring at what she was holding with a small eye.
Afraid that it would fly over and snatch it in his hand, Haizhu smashed a sea urchin and threw it into the sea, almost just fell into the sea, the swimming fish in the sea rushed over like a frying pan to snatch it, and the seabird flew off the top of the boat, and a fierce man plunged into the sea.
Passing seabirds flew over one after another, and snow-white arrows rushed into the sea and flew again, the sharp claw tips hooked through the belly of the fish, and the dots of fish blood smashed into the sea water and disappeared in an instant.
Haizhu walked quickly to the stern of the boat, shook off the fishing net, and then threw down two smashed sea urchins, and when the sea boiled, she struggled to cast the fishing net, and when she pulled the fishing net, the sea boiled even more.
A net of sea fish floated out of the sea along the net, and one by one they drilled out along the net and fell into the sea, and the seabird, which had not yet flown far, noticed the movement here, immediately turned around and landed on the side of the boat, smothered the live fish in one bite, and plunged into the sea with its free claws.
After the fishing net came out of the water, the weight was much lighter, and when it was pulled to the board of the boat, there were only five or six fish left in a net, and the sea pearl suddenly became clear, and the net prescribed by the government was not less than four inches, and the sea fish less than four inches could not be caught even if they entered the net.
It is no wonder that the fishermen go out to sea to fish, and they cast their nets and drag them out to the surface of the sea vigorously, and there is not much left on the board of the boat.
There are three sea fish with fleshy bones, Haizhu is thrown into the sea with the tail of the fish, and the remaining three punctured fish bladders are kept in the bath bucket.
Lowering the sails, Haizhu scooped up the clothes on the side of the ship and put them on, tied a net pocket around his waist, and walked down the wooden ladder to the sea with a pointed axe. The old turtle climbed to the bow of the boat and planted it in the air, and it rowed down with the force of the planting.
The boat floating on the sea has become a resting place for passing seabirds.
This place may be in the middle of the sea, far from the coastline, but the sea is not deep, the sun can reach the bottom of the sea, and the corals under the water are gorgeous, like a promenade in the water, with bright stone flowers planted on the edge of the corridor, and flat fish less than the length of a palm shuttling among the corals.
The pearl hit the ground, the yellow water rushed up from the soles of her feet, and she felt something struggling on the soles of her shoes, and when she raised her feet, she saw that an octopus ran out spraying ink.
She didn't chase it, there were several cannonball fish living here, and there were three different colors gnawing corals with big fangs in front of her. The sand under the coral is white, which indicates that these cannonball fish have lived here for a long time, and this is their nest.
Haizhu thought for a moment and decided to swim first, where there are many corals, there are many shells, and seashells like to eat polyps.
The bottom of the sea is transparent, creatures of all sizes are busy hunting, and they never forget to avoid natural enemies, the old turtle is domineering on the bottom of the sea, and the conch seashell hurriedly retracts into the shell.
There was no trace of the clams staying, Haizhu didn't look for it, she chose a place to land, the water under her feet vibrate, and a black thing floated out from under the blue-brown coral roots, Haizhu pulled it with a wooden handle, it was a sea cucumber.
It was the first time she'd seen it at the bottom of the ocean.
She hammered around the coral stones, and one after another pulled out a dozen more, each longer than the palm of her hand, and she picked them all into her net pocket and continued to look for them.
This thing is on the shore and the market is good, and the wet and dry ones are easy to sell.
The old turtle was left behind and stared at the movement around it, and it remembered being bitten off by a toothy fish.
A little manta ray hiding in the sand and sleeping was alarmed, and as soon as it came out of the bottom of the sand, it was chased by the old turtle, Haizhu was surprised that it still ate this fish, and rushed over to help with a net pocket.
This manta ray is a little smaller than the old turtle, and its thick wing-like pectoral fins fan quickly, but it was still caught up by the old turtle and bitten, and it did not let go of its mouth, and dragged it to the bottom of the sea with its own weight, and smashed it on the coral.
The manta ray tried to attack with the stinger on its tail, but Haizhu raised its pointed axe to chop off its tail, and the old turtle immediately dragged it to the bottom of the sea to eat.
Haizhu squatted to the side and watched, the manta ray's pectoral fins were boneless, the head was wide and flat, the mouth was also wide, and there were fine and dense teeth inside. She watched the old turtle swallow it as if it were protecting food, and the fat fish meat was like rice cakes in its mouth, and it was like soft and glutinous pork belly, and she was also hungry.
Next, Haizhu stopped looking for sea cucumbers, she held a pointed axe to look for manta rays at the bottom of the sea, and the orchid crabs and hairy crabs that were turned out were also put into the net pocket, and the medium-sized seashells were taken away, and the big ones were opened on the bottom of the sea on the spot.
It really made her bloom two pearls, the larger one was black, and the smaller one was purple.
After being hit in the back, Haizhu turned around, and the old turtle came over with only half of the manta fish left, and it put half of the fish in front of her.
"What to do? Give it to me? I don't eat it. Haizhu refused, and left her far away.
She picked up all the mussels and packed them with sea cucumbers, tied them into the net and continued to look at the bottom of the sand, and there was a hole the size of a child's fist in the gravel all over the ground.
Haizhu reached in and probed, this is a sea shellfish spotted fish, which is a very particular fish. This fish builds its nest with shells, and like a well, it makes a passage in the bottom of the sand, and the passage is filled with thumb-sized shells, and when it is finished, there is only water and no sand in the hole.
She wasn't much of a glutton, and after watching it for a while, she left.
A yellow and blue cannonball fish suddenly burst out of the coral, and it rushed towards Haizhu with a clear goal, baring its teeth menacingly. Haizhu clenched the sharp axe in his hand and didn't avoid it, but it hit it by itself, relying on its own teeth like a thorn, and wanted to bite when it saw someone in the way.
She first struck it with a stick, and the steel axe smashed into the fish's brain, and the vicious creature smashed straight to the bottom of the sea, and Haizhu followed and stepped on its tail, and then smashed it on the head, and when she saw that it couldn't move, she picked it up and put it in her net pocket.
Without doing anything, she had the courage to go to the coral rock to stir up trouble, knocking out the big cannonball fish and putting them in her net pocket.
After staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, Haizhu was about to float, and when he turned back to look for the turtle, he saw it lying on the coral rock with half of the manta fish on his hand.
"You want to take it on the boat and eat it?" Haizhu understood what she meant, she swam over and dragged the lower half of the fish from the turtle's mouth into the net pocket, "Let's go." ”
The closer to the surface of the sea, the brighter the light, the swimming fish in the water are clearly visible, Haizhu stopped halfway through swimming, and she saw a group of small yellow croaker, the pale yellow scales are very bright in the blue water.
She looked down at the things in her hand, and immediately untied the net pocket containing the shells and fish, opened the net pocket and rushed over, holding and stuffing it with all hands and feet, and the strength of the struggle in the net pocket almost made her not hold it, so she had to accept it when she saw it, and stopped after loading five or six pieces.
The old turtle has surfaced and swam towards the boat, it has eaten enough, and now it wants to find a safe place to sleep.
Haizhu didn't care about it, and when he got on the boat, he first pricked the swim bladder with a needle, and then hurriedly put the swim bladder in the bucket to raise, and then he threw the net and dragged the old turtle onto the boat.
Today's harvest is not small, Haizhu is going to turn back, this trip to the sea is a little long, the arms and legs are cold, and the chest is also a little stuffy, not suitable for going to the sea again.
Adjusting the sails, turning the bow of the ship, when the ship was about to return, Haizhu stood on the second floor and saw a manta ray flying on the sea in the distance, its pectoral fins were raised like bird's wings, flew into the air and smashed down, and flew up again in an instant.
Haizhu squinted, and now she saw clearly, there should be something under the sea, and the waves were one zhang high.
Chapter 67: Killer Whales Hit Fish and Boat
Haizhu wanted to go over and take a look, but she was afraid that she would be overturned, if she was lifted up like a manta ray, flying more than a foot high and then smashing down, she would spit blood if she didn't die. Let's watch from the boat for a while, and when the big guy under the sea is gone, maybe I can pick up the leak.
She pedaled the wooden ladder to the bow of the ship and lowered the sails, and then ran up to the second floor and sat on a chair to watch, and the manta ray was thrown up and down like a black ball. Then it was smashed to pieces, and its pectoral fins didn't move, like a rag that flew up from the surface of the sea, and spun and slammed down.
Smashing into the water again, Haizhu held its face and waited for it to fly again, but after a moment the sea calmed down, and it was nowhere to be seen.
Haizhu stood up, leaned over on tiptoe to look into the distance, the sea was really calm, there seemed to be a black thing floating on the sparkling sea, she guessed it was the manta ray that was smashed half dead. Afraid of being robbed by predators in the sea, she quickly ran down the wooden ladder and stepped on the board of the boat to raise the sails, trying to rush over and catch the manta rays to the ship.
As soon as the rope that tied the sail was untied, Haizhu raised his head and was about to raise the sail, when the wind swept to the surface of the sea, and the blue water suddenly turned black. She lowered her head slowly, and there was a behemoth crawling under the boat, its black tail sinking into the sea, and she didn't even notice when it came.
Haizhu didn't dare to move anymore, standing stiffly at the bow of the boat, holding the sail hand and not daring to make the slightest movement, for fear of alarming the giant under the water.
The giant thing under the sea was nowhere to be seen, only the tail was visible, the black and shiny tail was wider than the bow of the boat, and the tail shrank to the bottom of the boat little by little, Haizhu turned around and saw a huge body on the side of the ship.
The old turtle suddenly woke up from his sleep, poked his neck out into the sea, retracted his neck like a desperate escape, and crawled backwards into the middle of the boat.
It was probably the movement on the board that alarmed it, and the huge thing under the ship turned its head, and the waves that stirred up pushed the boat to swing. Only then did Haizhu see clearly what was under the surface of the sea, his body was more than two feet long, round, and there were white round spots on his head.
It's killer whales!
