When Father Ye was collecting the floor cage, he took off all the wet clothes on his body, squeezed out some water, turned the bamboo basket over, and casually laid the clothes flat on it to dry.
At the same time, I tidied up the ground cages that had just been collected on the ship, folded them, and stacked them.
This should be kept and kept for next time, or placed on the coast when you go back. Don’t waste it and don’t let it sit idle.
But when he continues to put it in, he has to clean it first.
Because these cages have been left in the sea for a long time, they are contaminated with a lot of algae and mucus from fish and shrimp bodies, and they look too dirty.
Usually such attachments are relatively heavy and will block the flow of water. What's more serious is that too many attachments will close the floor cage net, directly reducing the capture effect of the floor cage.
Therefore, you should clean it properly when you have free time occasionally. It happens that the wind shield needs to be retracted now. Take advantage of the good weather to wash it and dry it before continuing to use it.
"Dongzi, I can't do it anymore. I can't pull him up again."
Father Ye was holding the rope in his hand, his cheeks were already flushed by the sun, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his head was covered in sweat.
"How do you talk, dad? What do you mean I can't do it anymore?"
"Ah? I mean the ground cage is not working. Where are your ears?" Father Ye wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said speechlessly, "Go down quickly and see if it's stuck again?"
"The ground cage is stuck, let's just say the ground cage is stuck... What do you mean it's not working... There were seven or eight stuck before, and I rescued them all, why is there still one?" Ye Yaodong walked towards him nonchalantly.
"Who knew, there would be trouble down here if there were reefs. If you don't know how to dive, you would be stuck and you would be in trouble, and you would suffer huge losses."
"If I didn't know how to dive, I wouldn't put the ground cage here. It's not like I have too much money."
Ye Yaodong tried to pull twice, but it really couldn't be pulled. "I don't know if it's stuck in any corner again. It's really troublesome. The view of the seabed is limited. I just rescued what I saw. If there weren't sea cucumbers underneath, little
Qinglong, whoever is looking for trouble would place a cage here."
"Go down and see if you can still do it? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"How could I not?"
"We have collected 3 rows, just the last few. It's okay to rest for a while. Don't show off."
"fine."
He put on his wet clothes again and jumped into the water.
At this moment, a ship sailed over in the distance.
Father Ye looked at the boats coming this way warily, feeling a little panicked. He was afraid that they were people seeking revenge. Dongzi had just jumped off, but he didn't get up so quickly. He couldn't drive away from the boat now.
When the boat got closer and closer, he relaxed when he saw that it was Dongzi's friend's boat.
Let's just say, the squid fishing hasn't ended yet, so the father and son must not be able to call anyone, and it's so early in the morning, they must think they are also trawling outside, and haven't come here to catch squid yet.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng approached in a boat and said hello to Ye's father.
"Where's Dongzi? Why didn't you see it?"
Father Ye thought for a while, and there was nothing he couldn't say. He still held the wire of the ground cage in his hand, and there was a pipe on the boat extending into the sea.
"He went into the water and the cage got stuck underneath."
Xiao Xiao was confused, "Ah? Put the ground cage here?"
Azheng was also surprised, "Isn't there a reef here? Dongzi reminded us before that we should pay attention when we sail past here. His cage is stuck here and can still be pulled up.
?He shouldn’t be able to go too deep, right?”
"You can go down. He said it's not very deep here. Just wait a moment. It will take him a while to come up."
"Why did you think of putting the ground cage here? I'm not afraid of losing money if it gets stuck and can't be removed."
"Hmm...there's something here..." Father Ye responded vaguely.
An idea suddenly came to Xiao Xiao, "Did the sea cucumbers and abalones that Dongzi dug during this time?"
"There are also little green dragons, Jiang Jue!" Ah Zheng came to his senses after hearing his reminder. Those good things are not easy to catch.
Jiangsu can occasionally be seen at the low tide line, but others are on the seabed, and they can only be found on submarine reefs or coral reefs.
"No wonder he will harvest sea cucumbers and abalone whenever he goes to sea."
The two of them understood instantly. At first they thought he had gotten it somewhere, but they didn't expect that it was far away and so close.
After being guessed, Father Ye didn't have to say anything. Who told them to come by such a coincidence?
He changed the subject and said: "Why are you here so early today? Didn't you drag more nets?"
Xiaoxiao: "Oh, don't mention it. After we put down the hooks, we were going to drag a net. But when we were halfway through dragging, we found that there were two boats in the surrounding waters, and they didn't know why. You chased me, but in the end
He also hooked the net we were putting in, and it immediately became chaotic."
"Probably seeking revenge."
Ah Zheng nodded, "That's what we thought. After all, there were a lot of fights at sea some time ago. It's probably because enemies are jealous when they meet."
Xiao Xiao added, "After the net was hauled up, we didn't have time to sort out the mess. So we might as well not drag the net today and come over early to see if we can catch more squid."
"Well... we're not lucky, let's see if we can get more squid today. If there aren't a lot of squid, we won't be here recently, and you'd better avoid it." Father Ye reminded.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng looked at each other, "Let's take a look at the harvest today. If you don't come here tomorrow, we won't come either."
"Well, just in case, we can't afford to lose the property on the ship."
The two of them saw that it was still early, so they simply waited aside and chatted with Father Ye. However, the longer they waited, the more frightened they became.
Didn’t Dongzi dive in the water for too long?
Normally, three to five minutes is long enough. Ten minutes have passed and he hasn't emerged yet. What's going on? How can a normal person stay in the water for such a long time?
And when they came over, they didn't know how long he had been in the water.
"Uncle...how long has Dongzi been down there? It's too long, right? Is there any problem? Should we go down and take a look?"
"It's okay, he should be up soon. It's almost time for him to dive." Father Ye said as he pulled the cage on his hand.
It is now loose and can be pulled up.
The two of them watched the ground cage being dragged out of the water little by little, and looked at the little green dragon lying on the net still jumping around. The word "sure enough" came to their hearts.
"Damn it, this night's harvest is not small, you can do this!"
"I've seen several sea cucumbers."
Father Ye smiled and said, "This is troublesome. It keeps getting stuck. It's only when the weather gets hotter recently that I can get into the water."
"Dongzi is also bold..."
At this time, there was a splash on the water, and a person emerged. Everyone looked over.
"Come up!"
Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng looked at the equipment on his face and couldn't help but take a few more curious glances.
Ye Yaodong took off the things on his face and stretched out his hand to wipe the seawater from his face, "Why did you come here so early? Didn't you go to trawl the net?"
"without……"
They repeated what they had just told Father Ye.
"Dongzi, what were you wearing just now? I asked you why there is a pipe on the boat extending into the sea? I was still wondering just now."
"Is it because of this that you can stay underwater for so long?"
Ye Yaodong climbed onto the boat on his hands and knees. Since he was seen, there was nothing to hide. Anyway, just don't tell Lin Jishang.
"This is diving equipment. With this, you can stay in the water for more than ten to 20 minutes, but you can't go too deep. The surrounding seabed is not very deep either."
"No wonder, how much did you pay for a set? Why do the ones on the feet look like duck flippers?" Azheng was a little excited. With these equipment, they can also go shopping for treasure.
"It's not cheap. I asked someone to find some connections to buy it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy it."
Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Forget it, we can tell we can't afford this thing at a glance, and we haven't even paid back the money we owe."
"That's right." Ah Zheng was instantly discouraged.
"If you are interested, I can teach you and let you go underwater, but you must keep it a secret and cannot tell anyone about my equipment."
Anyway, all the cages were freed now, and it wasn't time to catch squid yet, and he also had an idea in his mind that it would be too slow for him to go into the water alone, and it would not be good to go into the water too many times.
Their eyes instantly lit up.
"Don't worry, we won't go out and talk about it."
"Yes, are you afraid of being stolen? None of us will say anything."
Father Ye looked at him with a troubled expression, "I don't teach, I teach others."
Ye Yaodong also received the look in his father's eyes, and understood what he meant, and said quickly: "It's not that I won't teach you, this is risky, you are a bit old, and you have rheumatism, so don't get into trouble, anyway, I'm here
, just watch it and it’ll be fine.”
Knowing that his son felt sorry for him, Father Ye stopped talking.
There is another chapter, which I am still writing. I have been busy these days and have been leaving early and coming back late. The update is a bit unstable.
Chapter completed!
