Not everyone has seen Ye Yaodong's diving equipment. It was the first time for the people on the SF Express to see it.

They all kept praising Ye Yaodong for being able to get everything. Weirdly, Ye Yaodong didn't hear them.

He was chatting with his father, brothers and Father Pei.

"Dongzi, if we drag a whale as big as ours back to the leaders of the Ocean Bureau, will we be rewarded again this time?" Father Ye asked with hope.

Others immediately looked at him expectantly.

Is this because he was in the newspaper two days ago and was stimulated by the cash reward and certificate of commendation?

"Is it possible?"

"Whales seem to be quite common too?"

"But I haven't heard of anyone being caught?"

"What, isn't this big fish worth studying? There should be rewards for turning it in, right?"

"It's hard to say." Ye Yaodong shattered their hopes. "Didn't the village also salvage a sea monster before? The donation seemed to be only 50 yuan as a reward, and there was no mention of the subsequent results."

"Forget it."

"But I can't guarantee how big the reward will be, but if you drag it back, it will definitely be published in the newspapers. Such a big whale is so rare. You may still see your own news in 50 years."

Everyone's disappointed expressions immediately turned to joy.

"Then we will drag it back and sell it for money. After all, if we catch such a big whale, there should be reporters to interview it." Father Pei was very happy.

Ye Yaopeng was also full of joy, "The things I caught overseas a while ago were all published in newspapers, and fishermen were encouraged to catch them. Now that we have caught such a big whale, does it mean we have caught up with the east wind?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, it makes sense.

"Let's take a look at the situation when they get into the water first. Wait and see, it's not that easy to handle such a big fish."

Now I have a beautiful idea of ​​each one, but I am afraid that it will all come to nothing later.

Father Ye smiled and said: "It's only an hour away from the shore. As long as the ropes can be fixed and the three boats can reel in the lines together, there should be no problem."

"I hope so."

Father Pei said: "It's already past three o'clock, so we have to move faster. It's best to get it done before the sun goes down, so that it can still be daytime when we reach the shore."

"You can't dock directly at the pier. You have to find a beach to let the whale beach and expose its body. The water depth at the pier is relatively deep."

"Dongzi is right." Ye Yaohua also agreed.

They chatted about their plans after the bundling was successful, all looking at the sea.

Ye Yaodong still held a watch in his hand to check the time.

The two boatmen who went down waited for more than ten minutes before coming back up, still holding the other end of the rope in their hands, taking off their masks and smiling.

"It's tied. We tied two fins on both sides."

The water is not very deep, so if you go down, you will reach the bottom in one go. If they stay under there for so long, it will be a waste of time for them to be tied up.

"Okay, it's simple. Let's go first and tie the fish's tail later. The head of the fish is difficult to tie on the bottom of the sea. We don't need to tie it later. We can just pull the fins and tail on both sides. It's the same."

"good."

"Tie it tighter and check the fin rope when two people go down."

"good."

Two more people took turns to go down. This time, Chen Shi followed Xiao Wu down.

On his ship, except for Chen Laoqi and his father, who are the same age, the others are all younger in their 30s. Chen Shi and Xiaowu are the youngest, one is 19 and the other is 20.

The two of them went down and stayed there for more than ten minutes before coming back up.

"nailed it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. It went pretty well."

Father Pei and Father Ye are both gearing up.

"You guys hurry up and take a rest. We'll also go back to our boat. Each of us will take a rope."

"good."

After Ye Yaodong assigned a rope to each of the two elders, he watched them climb back into their own boats. He also handed the rope to Chen Laoqi.

"Get ready first, don't worry, wait for them to change clothes first."

Chen Laoqi nodded.

Ye Yaodong was still wet and did not change because he thought that when the fishing boat towed the gray whale later, he would go into the water to take a look at the situation.

After waiting for a while, everyone else was in their places, the SF Express and Harvest ships were also started, and the people on board had all changed their clothes.

They each raised their flags to indicate that they were ready.

The three boats started moving at the same time.

The sea surface became calm for a while, and nothing could be seen except the waves, but they could still hear the creaking sound of the net machine, indicating that it was moving.

Ye Yaodong stood on the deck, watching the three boats moving forward slowly, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the sea.

After a while, he saw a clear whale tail under the water.

Others also exclaimed.

"The tail is hanging!"

"Pull it up, tuck your tail up."

"Get up, it's the first time I've caught such a big fish, it's amazing..."

"Who said it was the first time to catch such a big one? Adong has previously caught one with a mouth like a saw, called a sawfish, but not here, in Wenzhou."

"Didn't you catch a very large hairtail in the past two years? It looks similar to this..."

Everyone was very excited, looking at the large piece of tail protruding from the sea, which was full of barnacles. Fortunately, they had been watching it all day today, and they didn't have trypophobia.

The three boats continued to drag forward and returned to the city. They were all familiar with the voyage. The only thing they were not familiar with was the situation on the seabed. They could only try their luck.

The fishing boat moved forward slowly, and the speed was not comparable to the speed of the previous round trip. Fortunately, there was no lag for a moment.

Everyone stood on the deck and watched.

After more than ten minutes of sailing, he could no longer move forward. Chen Laoqi, who was driving the boat, ran out and called him, and Ye Yaodong jumped into the water to take a look.

The gray whale was suspended in the sea with its tail upwards and its head downwards. All he had to do to get down was to dive slowly along the body of the gray whale.

The gray whale's body was still surrounded by some fish and shrimps. When he went down to the bottom, he actually saw the reef. The gray whale's head was blocked by the reef and it could not move forward.

After knowing the situation underneath, he went up to the water and talked to Chen Laoqi, asking him to talk to the other two boats about changing directions.

After struggling for a while, I continued moving forward.

Along the way, he went into the water three times and guided the direction three times to ensure that the fishing boat could move forward slowly.

"Almost there..."

"We're about to dock..."

The boat trip was originally expected to take one hour, but because of this gray whale, we drove for more than two hours and didn't reach a beach near the pier until dark.

Fortunately, the next hour went smoothly and there was no need to enter the water. Otherwise, he would have been invisible.

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and it was already 6:30, and breathed a sigh of relief, shivering with his hands wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket.

"I'm freezing to death, we're finally here, Ha Qi..."

He relied on constant pouring of hot water to sustain him along the way, and the body's own heat after getting out of the water kept him going until now.

"What a pity, it's already dark..."

"It's good if you can get there, what's the pity?"

"It was dark and no one saw it. We didn't have to shock everyone. We finally managed to drag this fish back, but it was already dark."

Ye Yaodong sneezed again, "It'll be good if we can drag it back. The boat will stop soon. I'll go change clothes."

Fortunately, all the goods on their ship were sold to the fresh-carrying ship yesterday, and there are not many goods left on the ship now.
Chapter completed!
