It was windy and rainy outside, and the waves came up from time to time, taking away the remaining ones. Giant eels came and went, and he didn't go out to take a look. He didn't know if there were any left on the deck, or how many were left.
They were so big that he couldn't handle them alone. There were only seven or eight of them at the beginning, and when he went to get the stick, he almost couldn't get away.
When we just returned to the cabin to rest, there were more activities on the ground, and some of them were killed and couldn't be dragged away. It's hard to say now.
Anyway, he can only stay in the small kitchen space and watch first, and there is only one giant eel left in his hand that he has not yet dealt with.
His father was also quite powerful. When they were just fighting, he could sneak in and drag the dead or fainted ones in first, give them a stabbing blow and throw them there, and then slowly deal with them.
After handling three fish in a row, he has become very proficient. He can easily cut one end of the swim bladder out by scratching his belly, finding the swim bladder, and using his fingers to push back.
There is a very important point here. You can only dig out a small part, find the umbilical cord connecting the swim bladder and the fish body, cut off the end of the umbilical cord connecting the fish body, and press it tightly.
Otherwise, the fish bladder will leak, which will affect its appearance and is not conducive to storage.
After taking out the swim bladder, just tie a knot on the umbilical cord on the swim bladder.
After taking out the last fish bladder, he threw it into the basin as usual, which was already stained with some blood.
He first cleaned the fish bladders one by one, then hung them up with a rope and hung them above his head. The weather was definitely not dry in this weather, but there was nothing he could do. Of course, he had to hang them up to dry before taking them out to prevent them from smelling.
The bigger the fish, the bigger the swim bladder, and if it hangs vertically, it has to squat down to get out.
In the originally small space, he had to hunch his shoulders and lower his head when standing up.
However, he happened to need to drag the fish on the ground to the fish warehouse to keep them fresh, and then sell them ashore after the storm passed.
Ye Yaodong dragged them in and out. Each of these giant eels weighed thirty or forty pounds, and they were extremely long, two meters long, longer than others. He could only pick up one at a time and throw it into the fish barn.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hold two, but the fish were too slippery, and with the heavy rain, the shaking of the fishing boat made it particularly difficult to stand, so he could only pick them up one by one to avoid falling off the deck and swaying and sliding into the sea.
Moreover, it is not easy to drag, and I am afraid that the skin will be damaged and the appearance will not look good, so the price will be discounted.
Before he could move a few fish, he saw another big wave rolling in. The boat shook even more violently. The fish he was holding was shaky, and he almost fell into the aisle with the fish. Fortunately, he caught the fish's gills, and the other fish
One hand also held the door panel.
As soon as he stabilized his body, he quickly threw the fish in his hand back inside and stopped doing it.
Such a heavy rain is really troublesome. I have to wait for my father to wake up and let his father do it.
Just thinking about being idle just now is also idle. There is no place to stay here. If you get these fish into the fish warehouse early, you can free up space. After an hour or two, when they continue to fight with these fish,
His father still had some space to drag the fish here and continue to get the isinglass.
It seemed that it was windy and rainy now, and the fishing boat was shaking constantly, so it was not suitable for doing this, but he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain, and he was wet from head to toe.
Ye Yaodong sighed and looked at the aisle in front of him. Two more giant eels slid into the sea with the movement of the water and the direction of the fishing boat.
He wanted to intercept it but knew that he couldn't do it, so he could only watch it. Anyway, if it didn't attack him, it would slide into the sea.
He was bored and didn't want to sleep, so he looked around with a flashlight. Later, he felt a little hungry. After working for so long, he simply cooked some noodles and cooked some rice.
When everyone wakes up, they can also eat hot food to fill their stomachs, so that they will have more strength to kill those giant eels and it will last longer.
After all the work was done, he felt wet and uncomfortable again. It was autumn now, and the nights at sea were particularly cold. He went to the cabin to change into clean clothes, and then stood at the door with a flashlight to shine on the sea in front of him.
He wanted to go up to the helm, but he couldn't and had to go around to the other side. He was afraid of being attacked by the giant eel, so he could only lean against the door and listen to the snoring inside, mixed with the sound of the heavy rain outside.
By the way, I would look at my watch in my pocket from time to time. Fortunately, it was only 10 minutes away from the promised two hours. If I kept checking here and there, the time would pass quickly, and it wasn't that difficult to wait.
After arriving at the time, he took a look at the porridge cooked in the pot. It was just cooked and very hot. He simply opened the lid of the pot and let it cool for 10 minutes before asking them to eat it. It was just right for them to eat.
He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. He was so considerate. Where could he find such a good boss? He even cooked food for them.
Everyone held their own bowls and squatted down to eat somewhere sheltered from the rain. They also praised Ye Yaodong by the way.
"How many did we kill before going to bed? There should be quite a few, right?"
"It hasn't been dragged in for processing. I don't know how much work there is on the deck. Don't go back to the sea and let us work in vain."
"A Dong is on duty there, just ask him."
Ye Yaodong was squatting in another place, listening to their shouts, and said: "Just drag in eleven or two. There should be a few more on the deck. I don't know if I'm alive. Anyway, I just watched the waves at the door."
We came up and returned to the sea, and I don’t know how many of them were left on the deck.”
"If I can get these back, I can make another fortune. This one is as thick as my thighs."
"I don't know if the earnings are enough for me to compensate. I also have to treat Aqiang's leg. He was injured on the ship, and I have to take responsibility for him. At least the salary must be paid during the recovery period, otherwise his family will count on him."
If so, then you have to drink the northwest wind."
Everyone was surprised that they were still being paid, and they were all a little surprised. Then naturally they would not be afraid of being injured and unable to work to earn money to support their families.
This is a kind of guarantee.
"A Dong is so kind and righteous. He still paid his salary while he was recuperating."
"Yes, yes, if you let other bosses go, who will care about you? They can at most pay for your medical expenses, or just give you some money as compensation."
"Yes, one person died at sea last year, so we only paid a few hundred yuan. If someone was injured, we just paid a few dozen yuan and left it alone."
Ye Yaodong said: "Yes, of course I have to take responsibility for injuries at sea. You guys eat quickly and work quickly after eating. I don't know how many are still waiting to be settled on the front deck."
"Oh good..."
I don’t know if his words had an effect, or if everyone took a rest and filled their stomachs to regain their strength.
Everyone felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood. When they saw that there was almost no place to put their feet on the front deck, the giant eels were all twisting and turning, but they were not panicked or afraid, and they were not shrinking and hiding like before.
Go ahead and take the initiative now.
They cooperated in pairs as before, slowly solving the problem one by one. Father Ye was there, so he poked the person in the corner to make sure it was dead, and then dragged it to a compartment in the cabin for processing.
Everyone was busy. Fortunately, the rain boots and raincoats were quite thick. Although it was difficult to move, no one was injured by the attacks of these giant eels.
As time passed, everyone's breathing became louder and louder, and their movements became slower and less agile than at the beginning. However, they were still persevering because the heavy rain had subsided and there was a glimmer of light on the horizon.
"It will be dawn soon, everyone, hang on and rest when it gets up."
Everyone glanced at the horizon, feeling hopeful, and feeling a little stronger. Only three or four of them were still moving, but there was no place to stand on the deck. They were all carcasses of big fish.
Some of them overlapped, causing them to kill the remaining troops, and everyone was not able to deal with them so neatly. It took a long time to deal with those three or four, but it also prevented the remaining troops from attacking them neatly.
Everyone used long sticks to attack several of them, but they couldn't kill those few. Unfortunately, their movement was limited. There was still a giant eel from behind that slowly moved in front of them and wanted to attack, but it was subdued by everyone's combined efforts.
Ye Yaodong could see that everyone was very tired and had been exerting their strength for too long. They had been struggling with the remaining three or four items for a long time.
"Have a rest. It's getting brighter and the rain has lightened up a bit. Just leave the two or three fish alone and drag them in to deal with them first. Let's work together to help my dad cover up and don't let those fish escape.
A few fish are approaching.”
"Okay, everyone just stand where you are and watch while you rest."
"I have no strength in my hands. This fish is so big and powerful that it is difficult to kill without a gun."
"You can't even kill someone with a knife, and you can bite people."
"Don't say you can't kill your head with just one knife. If you cut your head off, it will bite you and bleed."
"Fortunately, there are also fish on the deck. The waves brought the fish up, but they were blocked in the road and couldn't rush forward. They slipped back into the sea on the aisle, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to finish the fishing."
"Yeah, why are there so many fish?"
“This fish likes to come out to look for food on stormy nights. I don’t know what its habit is.”
After Ye Yaodong said something, he added, "When you have rested enough later, you will help to take care of the fish, take out the isinglass, and then throw it back to the fish warehouse. There are only two people left here to guard it. Don't let the few remaining
Just attack them alive."
"good."
Father Ye quickly said: "Then you take the fish in the compartment to the fish warehouse later. I dragged them to death, and my hands are almost exhausted. There is no place to stand there. I have dragged them to the deck now."
I took it out of the corner and dragged it to the fish warehouse."
"knew."
Everyone rested for a while, then worked together to separate the dead fish, and then took the opportunity to kill the remaining two or three fish that were still alive. Now everyone on the boat could really take a breath and not be afraid of threats.
.
After feeling relieved, everyone also fell down on the deck. No... there were giant eels under their butts, and they fell on the giant eels.
"There won't be any more, right?"
"I saw there were still others in the sea, but I just rushed to the back deck and slipped down again."
It wasn't completely bright yet, because the weather was bad and it was raining, it looked foggy and hazy, very gloomy, and the visibility was not high, so their flashlights were still shining there.
Ye Yaodong leaned against the side of the boat to catch his breath, and the flashlight in his hand also shined towards the sea.
There seemed to be a lot of giant eels that were rising and falling, moving with the waves. He saw that they were still popping up on the sea surface. Maybe it was because the sky was too gloomy, so they hadn't receded yet.
"Huh? There are sharks there!"
"where?"
"What's so strange? It's normal to have sharks."
"I'm just saying, I saw the fins standing up on the sea."
"Ah, it looks like there's a fight!"
Everyone shined their flashlights and saw two giant eels surrounding the shark. The shark was also swimming and struggling to escape, but who knew that within two seconds, the battle circle had not moved away, and the besieging giant eels were getting closer and closer.
The more.
They could not see the specific situation. They only saw water splashing on the sea, sharks' bodies constantly exposed, and some giant eels swimming and wagging their tails on the sea.
"It feels like the battle is fierce."
"This shark can't escape."
"These deep-sea moray eels are very powerful, their teeth are sharp, they are big, and now there are so many of them..."
"There is blood coming out..."
It only took a short while for everyone to see some blood among the white flowers that kept blooming on the sea due to the fighting, but it was quickly washed away by the sea water and could no longer be seen.
"Shark's."
In fact, giant eels are also natural enemies of sharks.
Even though the shark is several times larger than the giant eel, it is unable to swallow the long, lightning-like giant eel. It has no choice but to let the moray eel roll and spin at a rapid speed, and is helpless.
Moray eels can also tear off the soft underbelly of a shark in one bite until the shark bleeds profusely.
The bloody color I just saw probably means that the shark is bleeding from its belly and is probably about to die.
While resting, everyone watched the battle between sharks and giant eels on the sea. It was just like watching the fun, and they could still talk about it.
"I'm going to be eaten!"
"Ah, no, no, it was swallowed by...? Did I see it wrong?"
"It seems like it was swallowed?"
"I also saw a small section of the shark's tail where the eel's mouth opens."
"Swallowed?" Ye Yaodong squinted and saw, "Eating alone?"
His telescope is in the cockpit, which is a pity, otherwise he would have used the telescope to see more carefully.
"That's right, the shark that ate alone was bigger than them, and it was actually able to swallow this."
Ye Yaodong reminded, "Have you ever seen a snake swallow a mouse and a frog?"
"Well, it seems so. Such a long and slender thing seems to be very good at swallowing things. It doesn't seem strange that it can eat sharks."
Everyone was originally just watching the fun, but now their curiosity was aroused and they all looked ahead.
The fishing boat was swaying and the waves were coming up. Everyone just turned their heads and glanced at it. After there was no danger, they continued to look over, still holding on to the edge of the boat.
"Swallowed half of it!"
"I also saw that the belly was bulging, and the eel's mouth had swallowed the rear half of the shark."
"Ah, I saw another eel swallowing the shark's head. This is not seeking death..."
"The shark should have been injured in front of it. I don't know what kind of shark it is."
"Just watch."
The tail was half swallowed, and the shark struggled even more fiercely. It kept tumbling on the sea surface. The giant eel that originally wanted to swallow its head was still hanging on its head, but its mouth was wider than a football.
Big.
As they writhed and struggled, he seemed to see the shark's head being held in its mouth, and then opening its mouth desperately, as if trying to break through the giant eel's head. The giant eel seemed to be in pain at this time.
What was originally a group of giant eels besieged it, but now it has turned into two giant eels, head and tail, holding the shark in its mouth and attacking from both ends.
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up when he saw it. It was so interesting that these fish could be beaten like this.
The three fish were stuck in a stalemate and kept rolling on the sea. As the waves washed away, they seemed to be a little helpless now. Those who were washed by the waves even bumped into the rocks on the side.
The giant eel holding the shark's tail can spit out the shark's tail and escape directly, but it may not want to spit out the shark that has been injured and has been eaten into its mouth, which will make it easier for other tribesmen.
The giant eel holding the shark's head kept flicking its tail in pain, while the one holding the shark's tail was trying to swallow as much as possible.
By the way, some giant eels around were still sneaking up on them. The shark's exposed and fragile abdomen was filled with blood-red blood that occasionally floated up and then dissipated.
"I guess this shark won't last long. It depends on whether it dies first or the moray eel on its head."
"What's the difference?"
"If the shark dies first, one of the two moray eels will give way and the other one will swallow it. If the moray eel on the head dies first, the head will be stuck there and the one behind will not be able to swallow it."
"yes."
"This is the first time I've seen something so interesting. There's a shark in the middle and giant eels on its head and tail."
Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they wanted to see which of the three died first.
Father Ye said at this time, "Don't just look at it. There are still twenty or thirty eels on the deck that have not yet taken out their swim bladders. For those that have been taken out here, you can drag them to the fish warehouse. You have had enough rest."
Still looking there.”
"Wait a minute, there aren't many fish caught now anyway."
"That's right, no eels have been brought up now." Father Ye had been collecting the fish bladders, and only then did he realize it.
"Because it's dawn, they will probably all swim back to the deep sea."
"You act like a ghost. You have to go back at dawn."
"Tell me about the auspicious day, Dad. Ships can only dock at the islands. In this weather, you are still talking about ghosts."
Father Ye shut up quickly.
Ye Yaodong felt that what he said a few days ago was absolutely correct. Ye Chenghu and Ye Chenghe were just like his father occasionally. They only suffered from illness at their current age and it was not obvious anymore. They only got sick occasionally.
"Huh? He seems to be dead?"
He was refreshed and quickly looked at the sea again.
"The moray eel on the shark's head has stopped moving. I don't know if the shark is dead or alive."
Just then a big wave hit, and all three pieces connected together were smashed against the rocks and then fell into the water.
Ye Yaodong's gun was still at his feet. He felt something in his heart and picked up the gun again.
Everyone looked at his actions and asked: "You want to hit that eel, and it happened to be killed. Those three are connected together, let's fish it out together."
"This is good, you can get three big fish with one shot."
He denied, "No, I want to hit the shark, open more holes in the shark's body, let out more blood, and attract more of its kind."
"Why? If this shark attracts too many, it may also attack the fishing boat. We are forced to stop at the island now, why should we attract sharks?"
"You're stupid. These giant eels haven't completely escaped and attracted the sharks, so aren't they dog ​​bites dogs? Wouldn't it be better to have more of these, where the eels swallow the sharks, and then we fire a few shots and catch them all in one go?"
"Damn it! Boss, your mind is moving too fast!"
"A Dong is really smart, can he come up with such an idea?"
"Can you attract the sharks?"
"The eel is still swallowing now. It is destined to not be able to swallow it all. The shark's belly is bleeding all the time. It should attract some people."
When the shark was photographed on the reef just now, he also saw it. It was a blue shark. The one just now was quite small. This kind of shark is the most common on the offshore coast. If it has blood, it can be easily attracted.
Anyway, he only lost a few bullets. If it weren't for the fact that the eels seemed to have escaped a little and the sharks would stop bleeding, he wouldn't have had to shoot.
However, the sound was a bit loud, and he was afraid of scaring away the fish. After firing the shot, he took it back, intending to let nature take its course first. His thought just now was not that thorough, so he fired a shot as soon as an idea occurred to him.
Think more.
"There is a reason why A Dong can be an official."
"President Ye is President Ye."
"Stop flattering me. I'm afraid the gunfire will scare those fish away again. I haven't thought carefully about it. Just watch."
After saying that, he looked at the three conjoined twins, who seemed to have been washed a little closer to the side of the boat by the waves, and he quickly ordered the people around him.
"As for the stick, use the pointed end. Try to see if you can insert it. If you insert any one, you can insert the three fish."
He didn't expect to be able to get in, as long as he could get in, after all, any one of them weighed thirty or forty pounds, and sharks weighed much more, so it couldn't be easily picked out.
"Insert the shark..."
"I have a stick, give it a try..."
The bamboo poles were all sharpened, and the waves were rising and falling, so everyone failed to insert them correctly after several attempts.
But we are not discouraged. Anyway, we have just rested for a while and everyone has strength again, so we can give it a try.
Whatever the boss says, they will do it.
After a few tries, they actually hit the target. They guessed it was a shark, because the shark has a larger area and is easier to insert.
"It's hit, it's hit!"
"Ah haha, hit!"
Everyone was a little excited.
"That shark is not dead yet."
They inserted forcefully into the shark's body, only to find that it was not completely dead. After being stimulated by an external force, it seemed to go crazy and shook its body twice more, and more blood came out.
"Look outside...there are sharks!"
Everyone's eyes widened. Did they really attract the shark?
"Is it really okay?"
"A Dong's idea is really feasible. Is this possible?"
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "Just watch, I don't know if it's okay, and I don't know if all the eels have escaped?"
"No, it just looked like it was coming out."
"Watch first."
Everyone was a little excited. An idea that Ye Yaodong casually mentioned could actually attract sharks. As long as all the eels are not gone, there will definitely be a fight.
"Should we move the boat? Will a fight affect us?"
"This is the mountain col shelter. Where can we move it? Are we going to go out to be blown by the typhoon? Just stay here. If you find those sharks and moray eels, they will definitely attack them directly. If they can't hit us here, they will start fighting outside."
"Then just watch first."
Ye Yaodong wanted to be this fisherman, but he was not sure about it. It was just a sudden idea.
He looked at the sharks moving in outside, and there didn't seem to be many of them.
Sometimes he looked outside, and sometimes he looked in front of him.
It felt like the sea surface in front of me was calm again, and the shark seemed to be really dead. It seemed to have regained consciousness just now, and struggled for a while, but now it was motionless, and it just swallowed the moray eel on its tail.
He thought for a while and asked someone to get a hand-thrown net.
"Looking at them, they should be unable to move around now. They can't kill the fish and break the net. Let's cast a net and see if you can catch all three of them and pull them up."
"I'll come, I'll try."
Chen Laoqi held a hand-thrown net in his hand and spat twice into the palm of his hand.
Everyone consciously stepped aside to make room for him to cast his net.
"Hit!"
"The net is in!"
Ye Yaodong was also very happy, "This is called killing three eagles with one stone, and three with one net!"
"Were you able to cast the net just now?" Xiao Wu, who was boarding the boat for the first time, asked.
"We were too far away and too close to the rocks. If we cast the net, it would catch on the rocks and break when pulled. It would be a mess."
"Oh, that's it, then pull him up quickly."
"These three together weigh 200 kilograms..."
Everyone stretched out their hands to help pull together. After pulling it to the side of the boat, they fixed the rope on the machine and hoisted it directly up.
Father Ye was surprised when he was there to get the fish bladder. He quickly stood up and looked closer, "Did you really get it?"
"We've got it, kill this one alive first, and the other two are dead, but we still need to patch up the mackerel to prevent it from being completely dead, just in case."
"I'll just take out the fish bladder..."
As soon as Father Ye finished speaking, he looked at the eel biting the tail of the shark and suddenly spat out the shark, then rolled all over the fishing boat, shocking everyone. Everyone backed away in panic, and some were
The fishing boat shook and fell to the ground.
Ye Yaodong quickly shouted: "It's okay, use a stick to stop him and beat him to death first."
Everyone hurriedly looked for suitable tools.
Now that there was just such a living eel, Xu turned around and immediately got tools.
After fighting with this fish all night, we gained experience and subdued the fish in a few strokes and killed it.
"I was shocked that I could spit out the shark!"
"That's right, it shocked me just now."
"You coward, you have to kill everything you're afraid of all night long."
"I'm just afraid of something sudden."
Ye Yaodong patched up the other one, and then asked someone to separate the shark from the other eel.
The eel opened its mouth wide to swallow the shark's head. The mouth was stretched to the extreme and it was stretched to death. It also stayed there after being separated. It looked quite scary. It felt like it could swallow their head at any time.
Everyone knocked a few more times, but they couldn't close its mouth. They just narrowed the arc a little, but luckily it was dead, so we just let it go.
Ps: I went for a physical examination today and checked Baidu. I felt like I was going to die...
After the report is issued in two days, go to a large hospital for a review.
Everyone, pay attention to your health. You really need to have regular check-ups. Don’t skip a physical check-up if you feel you are not feeling well.
Chapter completed!
