The bright yellow color came into view instantly, and Ye Yaodong was immediately overjoyed.
two!
A family of three!
This small reef nest was completely covered by seaweed. If he hadn't fiddled with it, he wouldn't have been able to discover that there were actually two large coconut snails inside.
Really big!
I can't even grasp it with one hand.
When he held it in his hand, it was bigger than the palm of his hand. The outer shell was visually a little over 20 centimeters long.
He held them one by one in his hands and pressed the soft flesh on them habitually. The inner lips had teeth and the outer lips were very thin.
Looking at the size of these two, I visually estimated that they weighed three to four kilograms. The little one I just caught probably weighed one or two kilograms.
Putting these two into the net bag together, letting them reunite as a family of three, Ye Yaodong started wandering around again.
At this time, the visibility on the seabed was getting clearer and clearer. It should be because the sun was high in the sky, the sky was clear on the sea, and the light penetrated through the water more thoroughly, which was more conducive to his treasure hunt on the seabed.
He picked up another sea cucumber and a half-broken sea cucumber in the seaweed bush. He also walked to the reef wall. Thinking that the time was almost up, he was going to directly dig abalone to replenish his balance. He first filled up the net bag.
At this moment, a tentacle suddenly poked out from the gap between the two rocks, followed closely by another tentacle.
Ye Yaodong's body reacted faster than his brain. Before his brain could move, his hands had already grabbed the two tentacles, and with a little force, he pulled out the little green dragon inside.
Its shrimp tail instantly curled up, then lowered again and curled up again, over and over again.
It really takes no effort at all.
I chased one before, but couldn't get it out from the gap, but now I accidentally fell into a trap.
After putting it in the mesh bag, he looked into the gap again and saw that there were several more ones inside, but the gap was open, and the other end was also an exit, so it was difficult to dig out.
Due to the limited time now, he did not intend to try and gave up directly. The first priority was to dig more abalone from the reef wall to fill the net bag.
After his efforts during this period, the number of abalones on the surrounding reefs has been reduced a lot, but with limited manpower, he is still far from getting rid of them all.
Every time he goes into the water, he basically rescues the underground cage. He only spends five minutes digging for abalone, and he only goes into the water about three times a day.
The pressure at the bottom of the sea is very harmful to the eardrums. He needs to control the number of times he goes into the water. Fortunately, he does not go into the water every day.
Today, there were three coconut snails, which took up less than half of the space in the net bag. The abalones were just pried for a while, and the net bag was full.
He didn't care that the time was not up yet, so he was ready to swing his flippers to surface.
But at this moment, another pointed head suddenly appeared from the crack in the stone next to him. He stared at it vigilantly, ready to swim away at any time, but he saw the head sticking out again.
Ye Yaodong also recognized this thing at this time, a wolf tooth eel?
This is a good thing for breastfeeding.
It has sharp fangs like a wolf and is highly venomous.
There was a fisherman in their village who had his finger bitten by a wolf-toothed eel, and his finger became swollen and turned black.
If the swelling is too severe and ulcerates, you need to go to the hospital for surgery to remove it. This wolf tooth eel is not easy to mess with.
But even though the wolf-toothed eel was so ferocious, its price was far lower than that of sea cucumbers and abalone. If he hadn't thought about catching it and feeding it to Ah Qing, he would have just pretended not to see it and left.
But I’ve seen it all, and I can’t let it go.
He pulled out the hand net from behind his waist and stretched out the hand net directly towards him.
I used to hear that the wolf tooth eel has extremely poor eyesight and slow senses, so when danger comes, it moves slowly, making people mistakenly think that it is calm and courageous.
He was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he moved the net slowly, but no matter how slowly, the surrounding water flow would change strangely.
But by the time the wolf-tooth eel was alerted to the danger, it was already too late, and a large net had already included it.
Ye Yaodong was afraid of being bitten, so he kept turning the fishing net after catching it, throwing the eel into the mist, and then took the opportunity to grab its head and float it up.
Ye's father was collecting the ground cage. When he saw him floating up, he hung the half-collected ground cage on the boat and pulled him first. But at this time, Ye's father also saw the wolf-toothed eel he was holding.
.
"Wolf eel?"
"Well, bring a bucket with water and put it in first."
Father Ye immediately turned around to get it.
After Ye Yaodong came up, Ye's father saw the net bag on his waist again, which was a big bag full.
"Huh? There are coconut snails today? Are you so lucky?"
"Yeah, I was lucky. I found a small one, and unexpectedly found two big ones."
Ye Yaodong took off all the equipment on his face and body, wiped some water on his face, and said.
"It's a treasure down there. With my efficiency in watering every day, I can't really use it up. But if I can't use it up, it's a sustainable development. I can use it every now and then to get some out."
Although Father Ye didn't understand what he meant by sustainable development, it didn't stop him from being moved again.
"Is there really so much stuff down there?"
"Yes, there is a large area of ​​reef underneath. The ones that were exposed to the sea before were only part of it. There are still more underneath, and they are also covered with abalone. You can dig them slowly."
"How about you teach me how to use those gadgets of yours? Let's take turns getting into the water, so it's more efficient."
"Ah? You are already an old man, what are you doing?"
Father Ye's originally friendly expression disappeared in an instant, and he only felt heartbroken.
"My old bones... my old bones are stronger than yours, and my fists are bigger than yours."
I knew he had been perfunctory before.
"Tch~ You've been working for decades. Isn't it normal for the joints on your hands to be thick? Don't think about it. You're already old. Why are you messing around? Just stay on the boat and make endless money."
Father Ye frowned, "I'm only over 50, why am I so old?"
"I'm old enough, I'm only in my 20s."
Ye's father was angry, and it was another day when his son was angry.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
"Isn't that what you asked?" Ye Yaodong laughed playfully, "Anyway, you are not short of money now, and I am not short of money either, so why are you working so hard."
"Prodigal son, you have only been working for a few months and you have made some money. You feel that you have earned enough and you don't want to work anymore, right? You are used to being lazy all day long. You are only in your 20s, but you don't want to work anymore. People
A bunch of old bones are still rocking the boat and going out to sea to make money..."
"Now you have an extra mouth in the family. The whole family is counting on you, and you didn't say you should be more diligent..." Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's verbosity, took over the conversation, and said slyly.
Father Ye opened his mouth and was blocked by him. He could only swallow back what he had not finished saying.
He laughed again and said: "Oh, I know what you are going to say. My mother only says a few words every three days. Not only do you remember it, I also know it. Don't be influenced by her."
Seeing that his father's dark face was obviously getting darker, he patted him on the shoulder in a flattering manner, "Okay, okay, I won't work hard to make money, just make good money."
What did you say?
Father Ye was not comforted at all, so he could only give him a sharp look and continue to collect the cage.
If he talks to that bastard Coffin Man again, his life will be shortened by a few years.
Fortunately, we are on the same boat with him, and we can still see him, supervise him, and urge him. If we randomly find a long-term worker and no one cares about him, he may work for one day and have three days off.
Ye Yaodong: Look down on him!
Father Ye went to collect the net, and Ye Yaodong also poured all the contents out of the net bag into another bucket filled with sea water.
Anyway, they don't interfere with each other.
After a while, the abalone clung to the wall of the bucket, sea cucumbers and coconut snails sank to the bottom, and only the little green dragon swam around in the narrow space in the bucket.
There is a bucket in the corner next to it that has already filled a lot of small green dragons and sea cucumbers.
Those were the goods that Father Ye had just poured out of the cage, and the quantity looked very optimistic.
If he didn't want to avoid the limelight, he would really be reluctant to leave this reef. The output of the reef could be equal to what others would trawl in a day by launching it into the water two or three times at will.
I wrote until about 4 o'clock in the morning last night. I was woken up by a phone call at about 7 o'clock in the morning. I had been out all day and had a headache all day. It was so uncomfortable. That's all for tonight. I will make up for it tomorrow depending on the situation. It will probably be tomorrow night.
Chapter completed!
