Ah San glared, "Isn't it? It's so cheap? I've grown so big in vain."
He felt that he had caught it in vain and was happy in vain. He thought that such a big fish would be valuable.
It's a waste that I just flew so high.
He didn't want to waste any more energy fighting at this moment. It was worthless, no one wanted it and it didn't taste good. Why did he catch it? It was a waste of his time.
"What do you know? Fishing for this fish is all about fun."
Even though they are big and stupid, they have a bad temper.
These slender tarpon swim extremely fast, have tenacious vitality and a ferocious personality. Their powerful explosive power makes them the dream target of many fishermen.
What fishermen pursue is the process. Once they catch something, they can release it and continue fishing again.
"It's quite fun. I was really shocked that it could fly so high."
"Isn't that right? When you return to the army, you will feel quite proud when you brag to others that you caught a twenty-pound tarpon that can fly two or three meters in the air?
And although this fish is not valuable and not delicious, it is big. It can grow to more than two meters and weigh more than 200 kilograms."
"Really or not, can he still grow to more than 200 kilograms?"
Father Ye is also very doubtful. Can this fish grow to more than 200 kilograms? Dongzi also knows too much, right?
"Why are you lying to me?"
Ah San thought for a moment and felt quite proud. Regardless of whether the fish was valuable or not, being able to catch a flying fish would ensure that all the bastards in the army would be envious of their mission.
He immediately started to reel in the line again with great joy, "Help me, just grab a hook or a net. I'll help you catch it later."
"Get it over with first. What's the rush? He's still struggling there. You're lucky that the line didn't break when you caught such a big fish. If you don't get it up quickly, we'll designate a bamboo basket to catch it.
All water is gone."
"Ah yes!"
At this moment, the tarpon was still struggling on the surface of the water, leaping out of the water and making splashes from time to time. Ah San tried hard to reel in the fishing line with his simple wooden stick, and occasionally paused to give it time to struggle.
Everyone was very excited to see it. Just by showing off a flying fish, they were already looking forward to catching it.
After a while, the tarpon stopped struggling and floated sideways on the sea.
"It's done, it's running out of energy, pull it up quickly."
Captain Chen held the fishing net in his hand. When he shortened the line and pulled the fish to the side of the boat, he leaned over and fished it out.
"Why does this fish look so stupid, so big, and has its mouth turned up? It looks like it's not smart." Captain Chen commented with a smile while helping to remove the hook.
But no one expected that this tarpon could explode and bite people after being walked for so long?
In an instant, without anyone expecting it, it opened its mouth wide and took Captain Chen's wrist into its mouth.
Captain Chen panicked for a moment, then quickly made a fist with his hand and pushed his arm back to pull it out of its mouth.
Unexpectedly, the almost terrifying explosive power of the tarpon was like a crazy little motor. It bit his wrist tightly and kept swinging his body. The moment he came out of the water, as if he was recuperating, Captain Chen couldn't hold back and was pulled out of the water.
Tarpon.
Others were not expecting it, and were all shocked by this accident. No one expected that this great sea lily still had some strength left, and could bite people while unhooking it.
Everyone was stunned for a second or two before reacting immediately.
"team leader!"
"team leader!"
"Captain Chen..."
Everyone shouted in panic and rushed forward to hold down the crazily struggling tarpon.
Captain Chen quickly comforted him, "I'm fine...it's fine..."
Ye Yaodong simply stabbed the fish into its belly with a knife, disemboweling it and killing it while it was struggling wildly.
Everyone also held down the fish until it finished its death struggle and became motionless. Then Captain Chen took his bloody wrist out of the fish's mouth.
He didn't say a word the whole time, mainly because he didn't feel that it hurt?
It was just that my wrist was suddenly bitten at the beginning, and I panicked for a while. I didn't feel much pain afterwards, and it felt tolerable, and I was puzzled for a while.
"How's it going? Let me take a look?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the bite marks on Captain Chen's wrist left by the fish's deadly counterattack, and found that it was just a scratch and broken skin, so he was relieved that it was nothing serious.
Father Ye and others also saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine. Just be careful next time. Especially for such a big fish, be careful not to get bitten when unhooking it."
"I panicked for a moment, thinking that Captain, you might not be able to protect your hand."
"Me too, I was almost scared to death."
Captain Chen smiled and flicked his wrist, "I thought too much, this is not a shark. Well, now I have the capital to brag when I return to the army. I can brag for several days."
Ye Yaodong opened the tarpon's mouth and took a look. He had never looked at the fish's teeth before.
After reading it, he said: "You should be lucky that this fish doesn't have sharp teeth."
"It's also a special experience. This visit to your beach is really not in vain. I didn't do much work, but I had a lot of fun."
"Tch, where are you now? Wait for the salvage team to come over in a few days. There is no need to watch the scene here. I will take you out to sea to drag a few nets and help you experience something different. I guarantee you won't be able to leave.
, endless memories.”
"Are you trying to trick us into doing work again?" Lin Aotian looked clear.
"What do you mean by work? Isn't it the duty of the People's Liberation Army to serve the people? You'd better serve me for ten to eight years, and I'll provide food and housing."
"Get lost."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Dongzi, cook them some noodles."
"You can do your own thing. You don't need to eat, but remember to cook some for me. You guys have used the noodles in front of me to make a nest. Now your stomach is growling. I have to fill my stomach.
You can fight hard in the afternoon." Ye Yaodong said while looking at Ah San.
Ah San pursed her lips and went to cook noodles consciously.
The tarpon biting was just an incident. There was no injury, just broken skin, so everyone didn't take it to heart. Everyone was still chatting and laughing while eating noodles.
Captain Chen also felt that it was quite exciting and exciting just now, and he could have a lively and intense discussion with them, recalling the scene just now.
After finishing the noodles, each one of them picked up their fishing lines with great enthusiasm.
Ye Yaodong looked at their hurried backs and didn't even give them cigarettes to smoke. He couldn't help but put the cigarette back into his pocket and shook his head.
He felt that if he stayed a few more days, these People's Liberation Army troops would really be turned into fishermen by him, and they were so enthusiastic.
I don’t know if he had removed the sunshade grid above his head and exposed them directly to the sun, would they still be able to persevere? Would they still be as enthusiastic as they are now?
Ye's father also took the hookah he carried everywhere, and smoked there. The thick smoke in his nostrils seemed to be coming out of a chimney, with two billowing lines.
He had been busy for a long time and had no time to smoke, and he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he just took advantage of his free time to take a few more puffs.
"These fish should be sold at a good price today. If you fish for another half day, you should be able to save some more. If the bucket is not enough, just take out the worthless fish and throw them into the basket. There is ice on the boat anyway.
Don’t waste ice cubes that are worthless. Just throw them there. It only takes half a day to get back and they will still be fresh. Let’s keep the valuable ones.”
"Well, I'll pick out the fish later and the bucket will be full. It'll be quite easy to catch several fish at the same time, right?"
Father Ye saw his expression begging for praise, so he kept his stance and just talked about him.
"If I fish again in the afternoon, even if I don't catch any big fish, I can still sell it for about twenty yuan today. It's not bad. It's much better than counting on the subsidies from officials. Those fish caught by the People's Liberation Army belong to them.
Just sell it, let’s not take their money.”
"How can I not know this? Our house is empty anyway. If we are in charge of food, we only have to pay for the rice. Won't there be subsidies? That's enough."
"Well, these young men are also sensible. They don't dare to eat more than they eat, and they don't dare to eat too much food. The old lady tamps it down for them."
"I guess they won't be able to stay for a few days before going back."
"Let's see."
The father and son took advantage of the cigarette to chat for a while. When they saw that one of the soldiers had caught a tench, they quickly smoked the remaining cigarettes on their hands.
Ye Yaodong flicked the cigarette butt into the sea, and Ye's father also put the tobacco pipe on the edge of the boat and knocked it, cleaned it and put it back, and then the two of them continued to work on the lines.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that everyone walked back with unfinished business.
When passing a buoy, Captain Chen couldn't help but think of the cage he placed yesterday.
"Hey, didn't you put up the ground cage yesterday? Don't you need to collect it?"
"I'll collect it tomorrow evening. It's only been a day and a half since I put it out yesterday morning. The goods are too little. I'll save some and I'll collect it tomorrow evening."
"Oh, I thought you forgot."
"How is it possible? I forgot you on the island, and I can't even forget the net in the sea. The hooks I put down this morning will be collected together tomorrow to see if I can catch more fish?"
How could he have forgotten the food for dinner?
"It seems like you will gain more tomorrow."
"Of course, if I don't have money, I can only expand my business and make money through hard work, but I am the only labor force in the family."
"We will work harder tomorrow and help you catch more."
"You don't need to help me fish. You can catch it yourself and sell it for money. This is also your hard-earned income. You should know that I am a person who only opens his mouth and likes to be happy."
Although they didn't understand the word "口高", they roughly understood the meaning, and they all frowned immediately.
"As I said yesterday, we will help you fish a little and subsidize your family income..."
"That's right..."
"Oh, I'm not short of money. My family is not as difficult as you think..."
Captain Chen frowned and simply poured all the buckets of fish they caught into the few worthless fish baskets where the father and son divided the goods.
It's all mixed in with them, so there's no need to let them sell it separately.
"Hey, hey...what are you pouring...keep it for yourselves and sell it..." Father Ye was too late to stop him, and buckets of fish were poured into the basket.
"Why are you so polite..."
"It's only right to trouble your family all the time and help with some work and do some things. Besides, we also think fishing is quite interesting and fun, so that's good."
"Don't forget, we are the People's Liberation Army, the People's Army. We don't take advantage of the masses and stick to the bottom line. Don't make it difficult for us."
Others also echoed.
"Okay, okay..." Father Ye's smile turned into a chrysanthemum. He looked extremely amiable, but he didn't have such a smile when facing his three sons.
Ye Yaodong was also polite and said, "Thank you very much. You are more aware of being a soldier."
"You're welcome."
"I have decided to make full use of your awareness, take you fishing for a few more days, make rational use of resources, maximize benefits, and contribute to the prosperity of the motherland."
Captain Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw that he suddenly spoke seriously and in such a high-spirited manner, and then he reacted instantly.
"You just want to squeeze us to the end, but you still say it so grandly? I almost didn't understand it. You have learned the official accent of those leaders clearly."
“Isn’t this about applying what you have learned and laying a foundation for the future?”
"I'm pretty good at bragging."
The other three people, including Ye's father, didn't understand it yet. They were stunned by his words. They thought he said something, but they understood it only after Captain Chen pointed it out.
"You can do it~"
"You are really sharp-tongued and it opened your eyes."
"Of course I can do it! My mother inherited it. Whenever she quarrels with someone, I will take you to wait and see."
Ye Mu: "..."
