Chapter 1172 Change to another fish(1/2)
As soon as the moray eel and shark that were involved head and tail were resolved, everyone's attention was attracted by the movement not far away.
I saw water splashing dozens of meters away from their fishing boat, and a few sharks seemed to be moving towards them.
"The smell of blood is over here...it's swimming here..."
"What to do?"
"Just watch, those eels haven't completely dispersed just now."
Giant eels are also the natural enemies of sharks, and stormy nights are also the time for them to come out to look for food. At this time, it was raining, the sky was gray, and the visibility was not high.
"Then just watch them fight?"
"It's windy and choppy outside now, and it's raining. We have nothing to do, and we can't go out, so we can only take shelter here. Let's watch it first. You guys first move the fish whose swim bladders have been removed on the deck to the fish warehouse. We'll wait for a while.
Yes, there will definitely be a stalemate there."
Father Ye quickly agreed, "Yes, take the fish that have taken out their swim bladders to the fish warehouse first, and bring the ones on the deck in front of me, so I don't have to move them around."
Everyone started to move, only turning their heads from time to time to look at the sea that was always churning with water.
"This eel is really quite heavy. I have never seen such a big moray eel before."
"There are many big fish in the deep sea."
"Not many boats can go to the deep sea. Aren't these fish growing bigger and bigger? No one can catch them."
"That's true. In the past few years, I could only fish around the shore in small boats."
"Let me mention it and see, it's much longer than me!"
Someone curiously grabbed the gills of the eel, struggled to lift the fish up, and then raised the fish above his head with great difficulty. Part of the fish's tail was still on the deck.
"Haha, you are not even as tall as a fish."
"Don't laugh at me. It's almost the same for you guys. President Ye might even be as tall as a fish."
"Hahaha!"
Ye Yaodong was also happy, as he was not even as tall as a fish.
Seeing that they all had fun, each of them picked up a fish and struggled to lift it, he also went to try it.
"Let me lift them up to see if these eels are taller than me."
He also grabbed the gills of the fish and slowly lifted it up, "Fuck, it's really heavy. This isn't a moray eel, it's like a big python. It's thick and long."
"A Dong's waist strength is quite good, he practices a lot, haha~"
"Hahaha~"
Everyone was laughing there with deep meaning.
Ye Yaodong raised the fish above his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not as tall as a fish."
"Anyway, tests have shown that everyone's waist strength is pretty good, haha~"
"Haha~ This fish should be two meters long."
"It's a pity that it's raining, otherwise we could have taken a group photo with our President Ye."
"We can wait until the weather clears up, but we don't know how many days this typhoon will last."
Speaking of this, no one is smiling anymore. I don’t know how many days I will be stuck here. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and drink on the ship, otherwise the fun will really be over.
Ye Yaodong also threw the fish he was holding next to his father and asked his father to get the swim bladder.
"It's already November, and there haven't been any big typhoons at this time in previous years. It's been cold, so the impact will probably be over in two or three days. It's also because we're at sea. If we were on land, maybe there wouldn't be any impact, maybe.
A little wind."
"Yeah, it should only take two or three days at most."
"Let's check the deck first. There seem to be several bullet holes."
The front deck was covered with eels, and they couldn't check it. Now that they have been moved away, the holes in the deck are still quite obvious.
"It's just the surface of the deck, so it shouldn't matter, right? Isn't it covered with iron sheets outside?"
"Check it first."
If the bullet only penetrates a local area of the deck and does not damage any critical structures or systems, such as the hull, engine, fuel tank, steering gear or water pump, then the problem is not big and the voyage can still be continued.
Small holes in the deck can be temporarily sealed to prevent water from entering.
Everyone checked, found all the small holes, and then tried to temporarily seal them to prevent water from penetrating.
I'll have to drive it in for repairs when I get back this time.
"There seems to be no movement over there?"
Once everyone was reminded, they all raised their heads and looked at the sea.
"Finished?"
"Is this the end?"
"Probably the fight was about the same, so we retreated."
"It's a pity... It would be nice if they were all killed and resurfaced..."
Ye Yaodong also saw that there was no white water splashing on the sea surface, and he regretted that if the shark died, it would just "fall off", which was extended from the concept of "whale falling".
Because it does not have a swim bladder, its buoyancy mainly relies on the large amount of oil in the liver and the dynamic lift generated when they continue to swim. Therefore, the shark has no rest and is still swimming even if it sleeps.
Once it stops swimming, its average density will be higher than that of sea water, and it will only sink to the bottom, so it will only stop swimming when it dies and then fall into the sea.
On the other hand, those eels will float up when they die because they have swim bladders that can adjust the amount of gas in their bodies to control their buoyancy.
Just as he was thinking this, there were indeed eels washed in by the waves in the nearby sea, but there were not many, only two. The others were probably swallowed or ran away.
Although sharks are not as agile as eels, if the number increases, eels will not be able to take advantage of them.
After the sea water floated and floated to a position where the fish could be reached, he asked them to catch it with a hand net.
Anyway, there are two more.
"Have you counted how many we harvested in one night?"
"There seem to be more than 40? I didn't count them carefully."
Father Ye was cleaning the fish bladders and said: "When I clean these fish bladders and hang them up to dry, I will know how many there are."
"Oh. Then you should repair the deck first. This is the top priority. After that, go to bed. It's just dawn now, the rain hasn't stopped, and the waves outside are big. We can't go out. I've been through it for a while.
I didn’t even close my eyes at night. If I couldn’t bear it anymore, I went to bed first. After you finished your work, you all went back to catch up on your sleep.”
"Okay, you go to bed first."
"We'll fix it. You go to bed first. You stayed up all night, so go catch up on your sleep."
Ye Yaodong looked at the sea surface and then at the island in front of him. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was just that the waves were a little bigger, and the constantly lapping rocks brought up large white sprays and foam, so he went to the cabin.
His clothes were all soaked, so he just took off his clothes, wiped them casually, changed into shorts, looked at Aqiang's leg injury, and went to sleep.
This sleep was particularly good. The fishing boat was rocking like a cradle, and the sound of the waves was rolling. He could hear it in his sleep. He gradually got used to this rhythm, and fell deeper and deeper into sleep.
When he woke up, there were people on the other beds, and everyone was snoring one after another, mixed with Aqiang's moans of pain.
The cabin was dark. He waited until he got outside and looked at his watch. It was already past 3 pm. He didn't go to bed until nearly 7 pm, so he slept for more than 8 hours.
Although it was already past 3 pm at this time, the sky outside was overcast and it was still raining lightly. People who didn't know thought it was 6 or 7 pm.
The biggest light is the white flowers brought up by the waves hitting the rocks.
It seems that one day has passed quickly, and I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
He moved to the compartment and flipped the lid of the pot, and found that there were still cold leftover rice and seafood, so he boiled a pot of water, boiled it, threw the leftover rice and seafood in, heated it, soaked it, and made do with it.
.
Then they started cooking again. I don’t know what time these people went to bed. They had nothing to do now, so they had to eat when they should.
After eating, he had nothing to do, so he stood by the door again and looked at the sea.
Suddenly he thought, I don't know if the Harvest is at sea?
The day before his departure, the Harvest had just returned. At that time, he said that he would contact him a day or two later after setting sail, but there was no contact later.
However, it was a typhoon day and he would definitely not be able to contact him at sea. He just stood up straight and let out a sigh of relief. He continued to lean against the door and smoked in boredom while looking at the sea. He also noticed that the rice in the pot next to him was cooked.
No.
"Oh~ I'm really stuck now. I don't know how many days I have to wait. I'll start eating porridge tomorrow to save some rice."
He stood from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock, and the sky turned from gloomy to dark again.
There was also noise in the cabin. Someone was getting up. He looked back and asked them to go to eat first.
After a while, other people also woke up one after another.
Everyone was discussing how many days they had to wait for the storm to pass before they could go back.
After sleeping all day, there was no need to sleep at night. Everyone was chatting in high spirits. If the cabin space was not too small and it was raining outside, they would probably be able to form a game and play cards.
To be continued...
