"Little darling, slow down! I'm about to fall behind. You're not going to slow down, are you? Once I catch you, you'll be sorry! Hehehehehehehe!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Ah Hai, help me block this croaker! Kick it, kill it, and let it get away again!"
At this moment, Bai Yu followed the croaker's footsteps and arrived near Bai Yue and Wang Hai, and the direction the fish was heading was exactly where Wang Hai was.
The large fish that the two men are currently surrounding is also a croaker, but it is slightly smaller than the one Bai Yu has.
After all this commotion, Bai Yu finally realized that a large group of croakers were playing in the area where they were.
There are still quite a few croakers swimming around here, but Bai Yu's is the largest one found so far.
As for why they were attracted here, Bai Yu wasn't quite sure; there was simply a group of croakers here.
After hearing the noise behind him, Wang Hai turned around and saw a large gray creature charging straight towards him.
Before he could react, the croaker had a close encounter with Wang Hai, rushing straight into his arms, and Wang Hai instinctively hugged the big fish.
As luck would have it, when Wang Hai hugged the croaker, his hands went directly into the croaker's gills, which could be considered a disguised way of choking it.
Although Wang Hai managed to grab the croaker, the force of its impact still knocked him down, causing him to land on his bottom in the water.
"Ah Hai, hold on tight. If it gets really bad, just gouge out its cheeks and kill it. Also, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
After seeing Wang Hai knocked down by the croaker, Bai Yu rushed over quickly and together they managed to subdue the croaker before they had time to ask about Wang Hai's condition.
"Brother Yu, I'm fine, it's just that this guy suddenly bumped into me and startled me. I was caught off guard and knocked down. I just don't know how Yueyue is doing, or if this guy scared the other fish!"
With Bai Yu's help, Wang Hai and the croaker have switched positions, and now Wang Hai is riding on the croaker's back.
At this moment, he wiped the seawater off his face and looked at Bai Yue beside him.
Before Bai Yu arrived, he and Bai Yue were working on another croaker. They had finally managed to corner it and were just about to catch it when Bai Yu chased after the big fish.
Whenever this matter was mentioned, Bai Yue pouted, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
And that was pretty much the case. Because of Bai Yu and the big fish's mischief, her croaker successfully seized the opportunity to escape and was far away in the blink of an eye.
"Brother, you have to pay me back for my fish! It was such a big fish, and it got scared away because of you and this guy. I don't even know where it is now!"
While accusing Bai Yu of her crimes, Bai Yue gestured with her hands to show how big her fish was.
"Alright, I'll catch another one for you later. Let's deal with this fish first."
"Yueyue, do you have anything hard on you? Help me kill this thing! Smash it on the head, smash it like crazy!"
When Bai Yue heard her brother tell her to kill the croaker, she immediately backed away after seeing its size, indicating that she couldn't do it.
This guy is over a meter tall, and weighs at least fifty or sixty kilograms, not much different from Bai Yue.
Bai Yu wanted Bai Yue to kill the croaker, but he probably overestimated Bai Yue. After all, she was just a young girl, and she couldn't possibly do such a bloody thing.
In the end, Bai Yu and Wang Hai managed to tear off all the gills on both sides of the fish by removing them, thus ending its life.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai paid a price for this. In terms of appearance alone, they were quite disheveled. They were soaked to the bone and covered in seaweed and mud.
However, it must be said that it was really unlucky for this croaker to fall into Bai Yu's hands, and the way it died was too cruel!
After killing the croaker, another problem arose for the three of them: how to transport the croaker back home.
Are they going to turn back after catching this croaker?
If they keep catching them here, what will happen to this croaker? What if it gets stale after a while? Also, if they catch too many, how will they transport them back?
"Brother, how about we call some more people? Let's call Dad and Uncle over too, and have them help us transport the fish, okay?"
Just as Bai Yu was at his wit's end, Bai Yue, who was standing next to him, gave him a suggestion: call for backup.
"Great idea! You're such a good sister! I'll call Dad and the others right now and see what they're up to."
After saying that, Bai Yu took out her phone from her pocket and called her father.
Fortunately, Bai Yu has a habit when going beachcombing: he puts all his electronic devices, such as mobile phones, in sealed bags.
If it weren't for this good habit, Bai Yu and Wang Hai would have been in real trouble this time; at the very least, their phones would have gotten wet.
Therefore, sometimes having some good habits of being careful and cautious can really save you a lot of losses.
"Hey Dad, what are you doing right now? Watching others play cards? Find a secluded spot, I need to tell you something. By the way, is Uncle with you?"
As soon as the call connected, Bai Yu heard the clattering sound of mahjong tiles being played on the other end.
The good news is that Bai's father isn't playing; he's watching others play instead. The bad news is that Bai's father is standing behind his second uncle, watching him play mahjong.
Before Bai Yu made this call, the two brothers were outsmarting three other tough guys, and they had already won more than two hundred yuan together!
However, after Bai Yu told his father about the situation, the latter immediately returned to the card table, pulled his second uncle up, and then spent 100 yuan to treat the other people at the table to tea before leaving the card room with his second uncle.
Even after leaving the mahjong room, Uncle still seemed to be in a daze. He couldn't understand why the game of mahjong had suddenly stopped.
The key point is that when he asked Bai's father, Bai's father wouldn't say anything, but instead said mysteriously that there was good news and he would find out soon.
More than twenty minutes later, Bai Yu and his two friends finally saw the arrival of Bai's father and second uncle, along with Wang Hai's father.
Bai Yu had already called his father and second uncle, so naturally Bai Yu wouldn't forget Wang Hai, who was part of a small group. Instead, he asked Wang Hai to call his father as well, inviting him over as well.
When Bai's father and the others arrived, all they saw was a pile of croakers, especially the large croaker at the bottom, which was so big that it surprised the three of them.
You should know that a long time ago, all three of them had worked on ships, but they changed careers for certain reasons.
Even though they have changed careers, they still know these sea fish very well. Croakers of this size are extremely rare, especially the fish maw inside them, which is something that can only be found by chance.
"Dad, Second Uncle, Uncle Wang, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, we would have had to carry these fish ourselves. By the way, Dad, did you take the things I asked you to take?"
"We took them, but what's with all these croakers? Did the three of you catch them all, and right here at that?"
"Yes, we caught them right here. I told you when I called that there are lots of croakers here, but transporting them is a bit inconvenient because it's so far from the dock!"
While explaining the current situation, Bai Yu demonstrated the process of catching fish to Bai's father and the others.
After the tide receded during this period, the seawater here has decreased again, exposing more croakers and making them much easier to catch.
Before long, Bai Yu returned with a croaker in his hand and placed it on top of the pile of fish.
Everything is so simple, so unpretentious...
The three of them, including Bai's father, understood why their child had called them over: to act as porters, specifically to move croakers for Bai Yu and his family. If there was any extra time, the three of them could also catch croakers together.
As for what Bai Yu asked her father to prepare, it was a net, a trawl net that had been abandoned in the Bai family for more than ten years.
Where Bai Yu and his group are now, no means of transportation can get in. If they want to transport these croakers, they can only do so on foot.
Trawls are an excellent choice for transporting more croakers at once.
Then, the three of them, following the principle of "since we're already here," joined in catching croakers.
After all, given the strength of Bai's father and his two companions, they could easily transport at least three or four hundred catties of fish, or even more.
The three of them have only caught about twenty croakers so far, weighing no more than a hundred pounds. They can catch a few more and take them back.
With the addition of Bai's father and his two companions, the fishing work became much easier. Wang Hai's father used to be a sailor, and although he has changed careers, he has not lost his old fishing experience.
They caught the croakers here with ease, and in no time they caught four or five of them.
Needless to say, Bai's father and second uncle were even more skilled. Bai's father had been a chef in a hotel for over ten years, and he had seen all kinds of fish. He was incredibly fast and precise when it came to killing fish.
Bai Ba grabbed a stone and went into the fray; none of the croakers could withstand more than two blows from him.
My second uncle had been a repairman for over ten years. He wasn't particularly skilled in other areas, but he was incredibly strong. Once he caught a fish, it was doomed.
In just ten minutes, the three of them, including Bai's father, were ready to go back with a net full of croakers.
A rough estimate suggests that there are at least fifty croakers in this net, the largest being over a meter long and the smallest over forty centimeters.
In terms of weight, none of them weigh less than five pounds; fishermen and others wouldn't even consider croakers weighing less than five pounds.
