Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Four o'clock in the morning.

The sea was covered with mist.

Zhao Dahai was cautious, mustered up his energy, and followed Zhong Shizhu closely, neither too far nor too close, keeping a sufficient distance. In such weather, he had to be careful not to lose his way.

Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea and saw that there were many lights in almost every direction.

Are they all out to sea to catch orchid crabs?

These lights were all moving and in almost the same direction as me. It was very likely that they were all rushing to catch orchid crabs. Originally, I was early enough, but I didn't expect that there were many people early.

Zhao Dahai frowned. The price of orchid crabs is high. The smaller ones cost 70 to 80 yuan per catty and the larger ones cost 120 to 30 yuan per catty. A fishing boat like his own can earn a thousand yuan by catching ten catties a day. , must all rush to the sea and rush to release the net.

what to do?

If there are so many fishing boats, it will be difficult to find a place to put the fishing nets. Even if they can be found, how many can be caught?

Zhao Dahai shook his head. We've come here, let's talk about it when we get to the place. Zhong Shizhu and the others have more experience. Let's see how they decide.

The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger.

The mist on the water slowly dissipated.

The vision becomes clearer and clearer.

Zhao Dahai found that there were more and more lights around him. Some fishing boats were very close and drove directly past him. Zhong Shizhu's fishing boat, which had been following him, began to accelerate and immediately caught up, surpassing one fishing boat after another.

When Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Shizhu stopped, he immediately moved over. After a while, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin all came over, and four fishing boats surrounded him.

"what to do?"

"Aren't there too many fishing boats?"

Zhong Shizhu glanced around and saw that there must be at least ten ships clearly visible. From a distance, he could not see clearly but the lights were on one after another. The place in front of him was all fishing boats.

"There is no way."

"Isn't it like this every year?"

"As soon as the orchid crabs come out, all the fishing boats come over. They would rather not catch them themselves than let others catch them. Anyway, as long as you can catch three to five kilograms and enough money for gas, you can make a lot of money from ten kilograms."

Lei Dayou smiled. This was not just what others thought, but he also thought so.

"ha!"

"Who says it's not the case? It's just that there are a little more fishing boats this year."

Liu Bin took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff. There were fishing boats all around and lights all around him. Looking back in the direction he came from, more lights were moving in this direction.

Zhao Dahai pointed to some fishing boats around and asked Zhong Shizhu if they were waiting for the tide. They would take turns to release the fishing nets and see how much they could catch depending on their luck.

Zhong Shizhu nodded. A lot of orchid crabs can be caught in this place every year. There are many fishing boats, and a rule has gradually been formed. People who come early are in front of the people, and those who come early are in the back. When the tide comes, people go to the sea at intervals. Put out fishing nets.

Zhao Dahai found that this was similar to the last time he took Zhong Shizhu and a few people to fish for grouper. He stood on tiptoe and looked forward. There were many fishing boats lined up in front.

"The bell stone pillar."

"Should we try somewhere else? There are quite a few fishing boats lined up in front of us. I don't know when it will be our turn, it will probably be almost dawn."

"I really don't know if I can capture it."

Liu Bin was a little worried. There were too many fishing boats this year. If he had come at this time in previous years, he would have been almost in the front. This year, it seemed that he would be behind at least fifty to sixty fishing boats.

"There are indeed more fishing boats this year, but when we get to other places now, it's already dawn. The key is that there aren't many orchid crabs in other places."

Zhong Shizhu had a headache.

"I definitely can't rush to other places now. I don't have enough time, so I can only stay here."

Lei Dayou disagrees with rushing to other places now.

Liu Bin thought for a while and nodded. Time is indeed a problem, so he can only forget it.

Zhao Dahai didn't say anything. This was his first time catching orchid crabs. Zhong Shizhu and the others have rich experience. They can work according to their instructions and don't have to worry about anything else.

"coming!"

"The tide is coming! Let's get ready quickly. The fishing boat in front should start setting out crab nets now!"

Zhong Shizhu kept staring at the sea and soon found that the water began to flow.

Zhao Dahai was refreshed, and he immediately started working with Lei Dayou and Liu Bin to sort out the fishing nets placed on the fishing boat. It would be easier to put them into the sea later.

"ah?"

"What's going on? Why are all the fishing boats in front going back or leaving?"

Zhao Dahai had just tidied up the fishing net when he suddenly heard Zhong Shizhu shouting. He looked up and saw that the bright lights of the fishing boat at the front were moving. It was not particularly obvious at first, but slowly these lights All go out, go out and leave.

Zhao Dahai was confused and didn't know what happened.

"No way?"

"These fishing boats are really leaving!"

…

"Are these people crazy?"

…

Liu Bin and Lei Da exchanged words with each other, and more and more fishing boats left, all of which were those at the front.

Zhao Dahai used the light of the fishing boat to quickly find something in the water on the sea. After taking a closer look, he saw that it was really balls of seaweed, and he immediately shouted.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin immediately looked down at Haili, their faces looking very ugly.

"What the hell!"

"No wonder all the fishing boats in front ran away!"

…

"Why!"

"It's over! I can only make one trip today!"

…

"This fishing net can't fit in anymore!"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very helpless. There was not only seaweed in the sea, but also a lot of it. When the fishing net was put into the sea, it was full of seaweed. The entire fishing net would be useless. There was too much seaweed in the sea and the orchid crabs they wanted to catch. There is definitely no trace, not that there are none but there are certainly not many.

"It's going to rain! Mom is getting married!"

"Who has any business with the Sea Dragon King?"

Zhao Dahai was a little helpless. Fishing often happens like this. Before going to sea, it was sunny and windy, and nothing was wrong. But when he got there, he saw all kinds of things were wrong. The fishing nets couldn't be put into the sea like this today. It didn't happen often, but Not surprising at all.

"Looks like I have to go home!"

Zhong Shizhu waited for a while. Not only were there more and more seaweeds and seaweeds, but the sea water was also flowing faster and faster. The clumps of seaweeds and seaweeds were passing by in a flash. The crab nets were made of large meshes and slender threads, which could not be broken through at once. Lose. The orchid crab supplement cannot be done without paying for the fishing net.

Do Liu Bin and Lei Da have any objections? There are too many seaweeds and seaweeds in the sea. In addition, the sea water flows very fast. It’s no joke. Once the fishing nets are put down, they will all be destroyed. The fishing boats in the front have almost gone, and the ones behind are almost gone. Many of those fishing boats already knew what was going on, and they were leaving one after another. Loud curses could be heard vaguely on the sea. I got up at two or three in the morning, blew the sea breeze, burned gas money, and rushed here without any fishing nets. If I have to let go, I have to reply. I feel very bad, and my whole day's work has been in vain.

Zhao Dahai nodded, this matter must be decided by Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Dada.

"What the hell!"

"Thieves never leave empty-handed!"

“If you can’t catch orchids, crabs, seaweed and seaweed, you have to take them back in a ball!”

Zhao Dahai looked at the clumps of seaweed and seaweed in the sea. He was a little annoyed. He reached out and fished out a handful. When he was about to throw it on the deck, he realized something was wrong.

Huh?

How is this going?

Why is it like this?

Zhao Dahai took a serious look at it, and saw that the leaves of the seaweed in his hand were chewed in a mess, with obvious bites.

What bit it?

Fish or simply crab?

Zhao Dahai frowned.

All fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea eat seaweed or seaweed.

Crabs are omnivores, eating seagrass, seaweed, fish, shrimp or even conch.

The seaweed and seaweed washed up by the running water must have been bitten by something. They are very fresh. The kind that has been bitten recently must not be more than a day old.

Zhao Dahai stretched out his hand and fished out several more clumps. He looked at each clump carefully and found that they were all the same. They all had bites, some had more, some had fewer. Some seaweed leaves had almost been eaten away, leaving only one head.

What is it?

Is it fish, or crab, or simply shrimp?

Zhao Dahai couldn't tell the difference.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up, hurry up! The other fishing boats are almost gone!"

Zhong Shizhu saw Zhao Dahai fishing for seaweed from the sea. He didn't know what he wanted to do. This thing is not a rare thing. There is no shortage of it at the beach. In some seasons, the entire sea surface, the entire beach, including the beach, are full of all kinds of things. Seaweed, seaweed, is very annoying and no one likes it.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"What are you doing!?"

…

"What's so good about this thing?"

…

Liu Bin was the same as Lei Da. He didn't know what Zhao Dahai was doing, so he loudly urged him to leave and go home as soon as possible. Whether he was sleeping or doing something else, it was better than staying here.

Zhao Dahai put his finger to his mouth and made a small gesture.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Da were confused as to what these clumps of seaweed floating over with the sea water could be.

"Why!"

"Zhao Dahai, what did you discover?"

Lei Dayou took a puff of cigarette and shouted.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't Zhao Dahai ask us to keep our voices down?"

"Shouting so loudly can be heard by the surrounding fishing boats!"

Zhong Shizhu suppressed his voice, yelled and glared at Lei Dayou. He didn't know what Zhao Dayou was doing, but there must be a reason. What if it was a good thing? Shouting so loudly caused others around him who had not left yet. It would be terrible if the fishing boats pay attention.

Lei Dayou was stunned for a moment to react, and immediately turned around to look around. There were not many fishing boats left, and they were all leaving. No one noticed him, so he felt relieved.

"What on earth is Zhao Dahai looking at?"

Lei Dayou turned around and asked Liu Bin in a low voice.

"Why!"

"How do I know?"

Liu Bin didn't dare to move or fish for seaweed or seaweed. He was worried about attracting the attention of the surrounding fishing boats that hadn't gone too far. No matter what Zhao Dahai was looking at or what he found, he would definitely say after a while, just wait.

Zhao Dahai fished seven or eight balls of seaweed and seaweed in a year. He looked at each ball carefully and turned over each ball carefully. There were fresh bites on them, and some of the seaweed and seaweed had some conch shells sandwiched between them. With one exception, they were all empty, and some had residual meat scraps.

Zhao Dahai put down the seaweed and seaweed he was holding, looked up and looked around. In just about twenty minutes, almost all the fishing boats around him had left, and the nearest one was already fifty meters away.

Zhao Dahai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that no one noticed these seaweeds in the sea. This is not surprising. These things are so common and are very annoying to fishermen. It takes a long time to hang them on the fishing net. It takes time to take them off. If there are too many, the entire fishing net will be scrapped immediately.

Zhao Dahai looked at Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. They all looked at him very anxiously, but did not speak immediately. He waited for another half an hour until no fishing boats or lights could be seen in the surrounding sea. .

"The sea!"

"All the fishing boats around are almost gone! What did you find?"

Zhong Shizhu held it in for a long time, but he couldn't bear it at this time.

"These seaweeds and seaweeds have been chewed by something!"

Zhao Dahai didn't continue to play tricks.

"ah?"

"Is it really like this?"

…

"No way?"

…

"What will you eat?"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately reached out to scoop up a few balls of seaweed and looked at them carefully for a while, with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

"What the hell!"

"This is the bite of a crab!"

…

"Why!"

"Zhao Dahai!"

"If you hadn't been careful, we wouldn't have noticed this at all!"

…

"Get rich!"

…

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were talking to each other, and they were very excited. Dahai couldn't tell what kind of seaweed and seaweed they were biting, but people like him were rich in experience and knew it at a glance.

Why is this happening?

There must be a huge swarm of crabs behind these seaweeds. There are even crabs in the seawater now, but the seawater is a bit deep and cannot be seen. Other fishing boats that came here to catch orchid crabs saw that the sea was full of seaweed and seaweed. They did not expect such a thing, and they were all leaving.

"quick!"

"Hurry up and put out the fishing net!"

Liu Bin was very anxious. There are a lot of seaweeds and seaweeds in the sea, and if you add the speed of the sea water flow, the fishing net will definitely be seriously damaged if it is put into the sea, but it is different when there are crabs.

Zhao Dahai immediately stopped him and pointed around. Everyone had left. Some distances were not too far away, and lights could be vaguely seen. If four fishing boats were releasing fishing nets at this time, they would most likely attract attention. There were indeed fish in the sea. There may already be orchid crabs, so don't rush and be careful.

Liu Bin nodded immediately, he really couldn't be anxious.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin were very impressed. Without Zhao Dahai, they would have left like other fishing boats and missed the crab swarm. The catchers saw a large amount of seaweed, but few would take a closer look. No one would have thought that There might be a swarm of big crabs, or maybe Zhao Dahai was just lucky. In any case, Zhao Dahai just found a swarm of crabs and couldn't accept it.

Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea carefully. He saw no other fishing boats or lights. He looked at the horizon again. It was almost dawn. He couldn't wait any longer. It was getting brighter, especially when the sun rose, and most of the orchids and crabs would sink. They burrow into the mud and hide at the bottom of the water, making them difficult to catch.

"quick!"

“Now put out the crab net!”

Zhao Dahai waved his hand.

Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou and Liu Bin could not wait and immediately started to put out fishing nets. There were four people and four fishing boats, and each fishing boat had three thousand meters of fishing nets.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu!"

The sea is wide and the sound of fishing boat diesel engines can be heard far away.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat. The neatly arranged fishing nets flew out from the side of the boat like a snake as the fishing boat moved forward. They fell into the sea and immediately sank. Seaweed and seaweed hung on it, becoming more and more heavy. Deeper water sinks.

The sun was half out of the sky, bright red, a gust of wind blew, all the fog on the water disappeared, and the field of vision was very wide.

The fishing boats of Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were close to each other. The four of them had just finished setting the crab nets and were drinking water and taking a rest.

"Why!"

"I wonder if there are any orchid crabs?"

Liu Bin wiped the corner of his mouth and lit a cigarette. He took a few puffs and began to worry about gains and losses.

"ha!"

"How can there be a 100% certainty that it can be captured?"

"But today we all made the right bet!"

Zhong Shizhu smiled so hard that he could not see his eyes.

"ah?"

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Bin turned to look at Zhong Shizhu.

"When did you go fishing with Zhao Dahai and fail to catch any fish?"

"Zhao Dahai is our good boy!"

Zhong Shizhu pointed at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai was a bit dumbfounded, but he really caught a lot of fish and made a lot of money during the sea bass fishing trip and the rock fishing trip.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou rested for an hour and began to pull the crab net. Three fishing boats lowered the anchor, and four people per fishing boat. One person drove the boat, one person pulled the fishing net, and two people untied the crab. Tied crabs, take turns to rest when tired.

Zhong Shizhu rushed to be the first to pull the fishing net to see if there were any orchid crabs.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and quickly found the first fishing net that was put down. The current was very strong and it had floated almost half a mile in the sea.

Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, and the bow of the boat approached the floating ball floating on the sea. Zhong Shizhu bent down, reached out and grabbed the floating ball, lifted it up, threw it on the deck, and started pulling the fishing net with his hands alternately.

Zhong Shizhu was a little nervous, and his hands were shaking a little. As he pulled the crab net, he lowered his head and stared at the sea. The water was not deep. Soon, the net head of the fishing net was pulled up, and it was full of seaweed and seaweed. It was vaguely visible. See, there's something in between.

"Dry!"

"Not an orchid crab!"

Zhong Shiban stopped, looked carefully for a while and recognized what it was, and shouted in excitement.

Thank you very much for your support! Thanks!
