Chapter 459: Sea Battle near the Island
It seems that there are not many fish in this area, and the bites are not frequent. These are caught from time to time, and neither the swordfish nor the goby are valuable fish.
After all, Liang Ziqiang just stopped the boat randomly and went fishing in a fairly calm sea.
Just when I was wondering whether I should continue fishing here, I looked up and suddenly saw that the calm water surface, which had not seen any fish just now, suddenly showed a large school of fish.
A layer of fine ripples appeared on the water surface, and the clouds originally reflected on the sea were broken and messed up.
"How come there are so many fish all of a sudden? Hurry up and catch them, or they'll run away again!"
Chen Xiangbei had never seen so many fish suddenly emerge from the sea. She was more anxious than Liang Ziqiang and urged him quickly.
Liang Ziqiang laughed: "Why use a fishing rod when there are fish? How long will it take to catch them one by one? Besides, fish are like a gust of wind. Even the dumbest fish won't stop here and wait for you to catch them slowly!"
"That's right," his wife was also in a hurry just now, but now she realized, "Then you use a net? Is there a net on the boat?"
"The net has been on this boat all along!"
Liang Ziqiang turned around and went into the cabin to get the net. After a while, he came to the side of the boat again, asked his wife to move back a little, then he stood still, raised his hand, and threw the fishing net out like flowing water.
His wife was watching the whole process from the side. After Liang Ziqiang finished casting the net, he was about to sit down and wait. When he turned around, he found that his wife was staring at his back in a trance.
When he turned around and looked at her, she was actually embarrassed. Her eyes flickered and she turned her head away.
Soon Liang Ziqiang began to pull up the net. When he pulled it up, she hurried forward and helped him pull the net together.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot, probably around 70 or 80 kilograms, and they were all gray, diamond-shaped fish.
"Why does it feel a bit like the golden pomfret I cooked before? But something's not right." Chen Xiangbei waited for him to pour out all the fish, but couldn't guess what kind of fish it was.
Of course it is not golden pomfret, the color is different and the shape is not exactly the same.
The fins of this fish are yellow, and there are rows of spots arranged in regular patterns on both sides of its body.
"This is a chicken cage pomfret! It's more valuable than a golden pomfret, but not as expensive as a silver pomfret."
"And, look, it's coming again!" The wife pointed at the sea and asked him to look.
It's strange. After he casts the net, the fish should disperse to both sides, but now these pomfret are doing the opposite.
They kept coming to where he had cast his net, and he had no idea what was going on. Since the fish kept coming to him, he just cast his net and caught them.
Even when I cast the third net, the fish still kept coming over here.
At this moment, a black, round head suddenly emerged from the water surface more than ten meters away, and was swimming around the periphery of the school of fish, like herding sheep.
Liang Ziqiang finally understood: "It's the gourd! I told you, a group of fish suddenly appeared out of nowhere and couldn't be driven away. It must be the gourd that was driving them away!"
The case was solved. There was no doubt that it was the gourd that kept driving the group of pomfret underwater and drove them to his side.
"Is it so human-like?" Chen Xiangbei was stunned. She looked at the round little head that emerged from the sea for a few more seconds. "I just realized that the gourd looks pretty good!"
"..." Liang Ziqiang expressed his admiration for his wife's unprincipled aesthetic ideas. It seems that the gourd will only look best when paired with the chicken cage pomfret.
He cast several nets in succession. Every time the chicken coop pomfret was about to escape, it was driven back by the gourd. It was completely under control.
We had agreed to go to the island to fish for seafood, but the boat was almost full before we even got there...
When almost all the fish were caught, Liang Ziqiang put away the net and raised the anchor, preparing to set sail again to Fox Bay Island.
"Wait, how can you be like this? The gourd is still in the sea and I just drove so many fish over to you, and you don't want it anymore?!"
Chen Xiangbei heard the sound of the motor and was shocked by her husband's blatant act of destroying his own destiny.
"The gourd is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? Can such a small matter stump it?"
The boat continued to move slowly. Sure enough, not long after it had sailed, a head emerged from the water beside the boat and turned over with such skill that it seemed like it was stepping into the threshold of its own home.
Wet and dripping, we returned to the boat.
After driving for a while, gradually, a lush green outline appeared in front of us, and we arrived at Fox Bay Island.
"Very pretty!"
The sudden appearance of such an island in the endless sea made the entire sea and sky a focus, and Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but speak out.
It can be seen that the nervousness and uneasiness at the first moment of drifting on the sea has gradually subsided.
As the boat approached, Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but pull his sleeve again: "So many! I heard you say there were a lot of mussels on the island, but I didn't expect there would be so many!"
"Would I lie to you? It's time to test your physical strength. Don't let your hands get sore later!"
He dropped anchor and tied the rope to the reef. The two men immediately went into the water carrying buckets and various tools.
Today is the second day of the lunar calendar, and the tide will not rise until around 2pm. Now is low tide, so a lot of the lower part of the reef is exposed.
I saw that the daughter-in-law's sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up high, revealing her lotus-root-like arms and white legs. At this time, she was prying the densely packed, fat and beautiful mussels on the reef while placing a bucket underneath to catch them.
Because it was sunny today and a bit hot, she specially brought a hat with her when she got off the boat.
"I've been married for more than two years, and now I finally look a bit like a girl from a fishing village!" Liang Ziqiang said as he looked at her outfit.
The wife was trying to pry open a mussel seriously, and when she heard the sarcasm in his words, she picked up the mussel in her hand and was about to hit him with it.
After thinking for a while, it seemed that he felt it was a bit of a waste to eat such plump mussels, so he put them down and picked up a worthless snail from the side and threw it to him.
"Let me make you laugh!" she said angrily.
The snail didn't hit him, but he caught it easily and raised his hand.
Seeing that he actually dared to fight back at her, Chen Xiangbei's eyes widened and she looked like she was about to show off her power.
Unexpectedly, the snail did not fly towards her, but fell steadily into the bucket beside her, making a "ding" sound.
Her beautiful eyes curved downwards, she snorted, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a hint of pride and happiness.
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, for some reason, Liang Ziqiang's eyes suddenly saw two other people.
Yan Zi also has deep feelings for Deng Zhaocai, just like Chen Xiangbei feels for herself.
If they could live together in the fishing village without any hindrance, the situation would probably be similar to what I am like now, right? Yan Zi should have stayed with Deng Zhaocai, coquettishly, laughing, and slowly growing old together. What a pity...
I haven't seen Deng Zhaocai for such a long time, and I don't know how Deng Zhaocai is doing in the hotel now. Retracting my thoughts, my wife has already swept all the mussels on this reef, and stepped into the shallow water to go to another reef, where there are more mussels and clams.
Liang Ziqiang also followed there.
Suddenly, the daughter-in-law who was walking in front felt her leg twitch as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly retracted her step.
"What the hell is this, Aqiang? How could there be a monster that looks like an elephant lying in the sea?"
Her voice suddenly became shrill, and she turned around and ran back to him.
Liang Ziqiang quickly supported her, preventing the frightened Chen Xiangbei from slipping into the water.
His eyes quickly turned to the place he had just been to. Next to a clump of seaweed, there was a creature that looked like an elephant, gray and black all over.
As heavy as a stone, yet floating calmly in the water...
