Feng Ye glanced at the two auxiliary defense team members with slight surprise, but couldn't tell who was Wang Teng and who was Zhang Qiang.
This is the first time he has heard these two names since yesterday.
I really did realize that one of these two people was named Wang Teng.
At that time, it was just an ordinary name.
The red-haired monster is still just a little kid.
(Speaking of which, Red-haired Monster has been on hiatus for over a year now, and there's still no sign of a new book. He's letting his readers down again.)
If it were more than twenty years from now, we could make fun of him and ask if his father's name was Wang Chengkun.
Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang exchanged a glance, nodded, took off their shirts and pants, walked to the side of the boat, and then jumped into the azure sea.
Ripples spread across the sea, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the water.
Feng Ye and Fang Yi ignored them, their eyes fixed on the buoy, afraid of missing any movement of the fish.
Almost two minutes passed, and the buoy remained completely silent, without making a sound.
"Lift up the hook and take a look; perhaps the bait has been eaten."
Seeing that the buoy hadn't moved for a long time, Feng Ye couldn't help but remind it.
Fang Yi nodded and lifted the fishing rod in his hand, but immediately felt the force coming from the fishing line.
He exclaimed with delight, "A fish has bitten me..."
He had barely uttered three words when the pulling force suddenly vanished without a trace, as if it had just been an illusion.
He paused for a moment, then pulled up the fishing hook.
The fishing hook was empty; the live shrimp that had been hanging there had vanished.
"I just felt a fish bite the bait, but it seems I lifted the rod too early."
Fang Yi glanced at Feng Ye with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
If he hadn't suggested lifting it up to take a look, that fish might not have gotten away.
"It's alright, it's probably just a small fish, it'll get away if it doesn't."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "The shrimp I bought are a bit big. Fish weighing less than a pound have mouths that are too small to swallow, so even if they bite the hook, they will quickly let go."
Just as Fang Yi reattached the live shrimp to the hook and cast it back into the water, a splashing sound came from the sea not far away.
However, Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang emerged one after the other.
"How deep is it? How deep is it?"
Fang Yi put down his fishing rod and turned to look at the two people who had just emerged from the water.
Zhang Qiang wiped the water droplets from his face and replied, panting, "It's probably seven or eight meters deep."
The two swam to the side of the boat, each threw a few things onto the boat, and then climbed onto it.
"scallop?"
Feng Ye was slightly surprised when he saw what they had thrown onto the boat.
Wang Teng climbed onto the boat and said with a smile, "When I went down, I saw them swimming in the water, so I just grabbed a few."
"These scallops are quite big," Fang Yi said curiously. "Can scallops swim? What do they look like when they swim?"
Wang Teng scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh... well... how should I put it, I just saw the scallop opening and closing, and that's how it started moving."
"Scallops swim differently from fish and shrimp. They use their two shells to generate power by opening and closing the shells, spouting water, and then using the reaction force to propel themselves forward."
Feng Ye explained how scallops swim, while secretly lamenting the loss.
It's important to know that scallops have a gregarious nature.
Since they were able to catch a few, it means there are likely many more on the seabed.
With these three people around, he couldn't easily take out his diving equipment and dive down to catch them.
"Hey, that sounds interesting." Fang Yi smiled and shook his head. "I didn't know scallops swim like that. This is really enlightening."
"There should be a lot of scallops down there. Take your nets and scoops down and catch as many as you can. You can treat yourselves to a nice meal tonight."
Feng Ye smiled and went to the cabin to get a few nets and a small net.
"There are quite a few. We only took a quick look and found quite a few scallops."
As Zhang Qiang spoke, he took the net and tied it around his waist.
"Before, we could only use our hands and couldn't catch many. Now that we have a net, we can catch more and they'll float to the surface."
Wang Teng nodded in agreement.
The two quickly tied up the net, grabbed the landing net, and jumped back into the sea.
Feng Ye was also eager to try, but his naked diving ability was not outstanding, only at the level of an average person. He had to surface for air after just over a minute.
In such a short time, you can't really do anything underwater.
He didn't know where the two of them learned to scuba dive.
Despite not living near the sea, they were surprisingly good divers, easily diving for two minutes, and judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to have reached their limit yet.
"Go diving too, don't hogging my fishing rod."
Feng Ye walked over to Fang Yi and reached out to grab the fishing rod.
"No, wait until I finish this fishing rod."
Fang Yi dodged slightly, causing the float on the fishing rod to sway gently, followed by a strong pulling sensation from the fishing line.
Fang Yi was overjoyed: "A fish has taken the bait! It's quite strong; it must be a big fish..."
"Then let's talk less and hurry up and pull the fish up."
"Am I not taking a dump right now?"
Fang Yi's arms were bulging with veins, his feet braced against the gunwale, and he gritted his teeth, trying to lift the fishing rod, but to no avail.
The fishing rod was bent at an exaggerated angle, with the tip almost being pulled into the water.
Fortunately, although the fishing rod was simple, it was very resilient, and it didn't break even after all that.
"That really is a big fish!"
Feng Ye was surprised.
Is this the newbie aura?
So you caught a fish so quickly, and a big one at that.
I wonder what kind of fish bit the hook in this water? It's so strong.
He then added, "Loosen your grip a bit. When you hook a big fish, you can't keep your hand constantly tense. You have to alternate between loosening and tightening your grip to play the fish and have a chance of reeling it in. Trying to pull it in with brute force like that won't work..."
"Never mind, I'll do it myself."
With such a rapid pulling force, the fish must be quite large.
For a novice like Fang Yi, the chances of pulling this fish up are almost zero.
Instead of reeling in the fish, the fishing rod broke.
Feng Ye took the fishing rod and immediately felt the strong pulling force.
He was prepared that the fish was definitely not small, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce. Almost instantly, it pulled him forward, and he almost fell headfirst into the water.
He really hadn't realized that Fang Yi was so strong.
He doesn't look very tall or strong.
In terms of physique, he's about the same size as me.
This led to a serious misjudgment on his part, almost making him a laughingstock.
He quickly regained his balance, gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, braced his feet against the gunwale, and began a tug-of-war with the big fish.
After Feng Ye took over, Fang Yi stepped aside and nervously watched the contest between man and fish.
He carefully observed Feng Ye's movements, hoping to learn some techniques for handling big fish.
