Ye Guowei's condition is not good either. His feet can't touch the ground, so he can only swim halfway and has to resist the waves. In addition, Yuan Mazi's strength has not yet recovered, and he has exhausted a lot of energy.
Ye Cheng didn't rush over rashly. Instead, he held onto the rope with one hand and slowly moved closer. When the time was right, he aimed and plunged down.
The seawater suddenly enveloped my entire body. This wasn't swimming pool water; swimming pool water is still. This was seawater, which would actively crash against me and rush into my mouth and nose.
Ye Cheng swung his arms with all his might, not daring to open his eyes in the murky seawater, and could only rely on his senses to feel his way across.
My left hand suddenly touched something—a person's foot.
However, there was no seaweed underfoot, so it is estimated that these are Ye Guowei's feet.
Ye Cheng held his breath, pulled Ye Guowei's foot to the side, and this time he touched another foot, which he knew without even looking that it belonged to Yuan Mazi.
Because his entire lower leg was bound with seaweed.
Ye Cheng had been in the water for more than 20 seconds. He first floated to the surface, took two deep breaths, and then sank back down.
He grabbed the seaweed with his hand and started cutting it with the blade in his hand.
The seaweed felt similar to kelp, and it was a large clump that was difficult to control in the water. Ye Cheng went down twice before he managed to cut all the seaweed.
Once freed from the seaweed, Yuan Mazi started moving on her own, and her little feet almost kicked Ye Cheng in the face.
Therefore, rescuing people from the water is not a safe thing to do.
Having gotten rid of the seaweed, Ye Guowei gestured to Xiao Hu to quickly pull the rope.
Xiao Hu slung the rope over his back and walked towards the shore.
Once ashore, Ye Guowei and the other two collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
Ye Cheng's chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath and said to Yuan Mazi, "Yuan Mazi, you're lucky. There are many of us. If we were even one person short, you'd be going to see the Dragon King of the Sea."
Now that Yuan Mazi had regained his strength, he sat up and said to the three men with a grateful expression, "Thank you so much this time. Otherwise, I would have really died here, just like the second brother said."
Ye Guowei waved his hand, "Uncle, we're all from the same village, it's only right. But you shouldn't go alone, your life is more important."
"Um, um, I'm not going. I'll go back early and come back tomorrow during the day." Yuan Mazi was still shaken.
After resting for a while, Yuan Mazi carried his bucket back home, and Ye Guowei followed him back as well, as he needed to go back to get his cart.
After Yuan Mazi's actions, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu decided not to go into the water. If they got tangled in the seaweed again, who knows what might happen.
After resting for a while, the two began to tidy up the two cages.
The selection is plentiful, including smaller miscellaneous fish and shrimp, larger sea cucumbers and squid, as well as conch, crabs, and more—it's practically a seafood buffet.
It was pitch black at night, and the two of them didn't bother to divide it into smaller parts; they just roughly divided it and that was it.
Soon, Ye Guowei returned, got a small tricycle, and rode it along the coast, making a clattering noise. The road was uneven, so there was nothing he could do.
Upon arrival, a person jumped off the back of the tricycle; it was Jiang Yunxiang.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Where's DouDou?"
Jiang Yunxiang, dressed in her work clothes, casually said, "Dou Dou is asleep. He's sleeping soundly, so it's fine."
Your brother said there was a lot of stuff, so I came over to help out.
"Well, I saw there was so much stuff, and we didn't have enough people, so I had your sister-in-law come over too," Ye Guowei added.
"Okay, sister-in-law, you can load the truck first. We'll look for more next time. There are still three traps left."
Ye Guowei didn't bring a snakeskin bag either, figuring it wouldn't fit, so he planned to just load the cages onto the car and be done with it.
Jiang Yunxiang started packing her things, and the three men tied the ropes together and went into the water.
Starting from where they had found the two fish traps, the three of them continued to make their way along the beach.
After walking about 50 meters, we found two more traps, and once again, we had a very good haul.
As night deepened, they still couldn't find the fish trap.
The three of them worked together to move everything into the car, then lit cigarettes and rested.
"Acheng, if one of them doesn't work, then forget it," Ye Guowei said.
"Yeah, bro. Yuan Mazi only found one of his four, so it's normal that we lost one of our six."
Xiao Hu also felt that it was about time.
Ye Cheng was a little undecided, mainly because he was reluctant to give up his 100 luck points today.
Just then, a strong wind suddenly rose from the sea, the waves surged again, and the tide rushed in, pushing the water level up even higher.
The three of them had to step back a little.
"Acheng, let's stop here. It looks like the wind is about to pick up again." Jiang Yunxiang also started to worry.
Fortune favors the bold, but it's important to consider whether it's worth it. Now that things seem a bit dangerous, Ye Cheng decided to give up.
"Alright, brother, here's what we'll do. Xiao Hu and I will walk around here again, and you and your wife will hold the rope from above. If it's there, it's there; if it's not, it's not."
Ye Cheng still wanted to try again, since Ye Guowei and his wife were pulling the rope from above, and no one objected.
Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu tied the rope together and went into the water.
The water level had indeed risen considerably; it was already above my calves after only a few steps.
The two continued deeper into the darkness. The wind grew stronger, whipping up gusts of seawater. When the water reached their waists, they dared not go any further.
With water this deep, hands were basically useless, so the two of them used their feet to stomp and kick.
After walking several dozen meters, they still couldn't find the trap.
Ye Cheng also decided to give up.
Just then, a huge wave surged over them, crashing into their faces and pushing them into the water.
"Acheng, Xiaohu, hurry up and get on the boat, the waves are rising again," Ye Guowei called out anxiously.
"Okay, we're here." Ye Cheng wiped his face, removing the bitter seawater, and opened his eyes.
Damn, this seawater really has a strong flavor. If you add a spoonful of seawater, you won't even need to add salt.
The taste of seawater in their mouths hadn't completely disappeared when another big wave came crashing in, making them stagger.
For some unknown reason, the sea surface suddenly began to churn.
The two hurriedly walked back.
After taking a few steps, Ye Cheng pulled Xiao Hu along and pointed to something on the sea, saying, "Xiao Hu, doesn't that look like a fish?"
Under the moonlight, a half-meter-long object was swept up by the wave and then instantly submerged, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Xiao Hu choked on some seawater and shook his head. "Brother, don't worry about it, let's go up quickly."
This guy couldn't take it anymore and went upstairs on his own.
Ye Cheng took a look. The thing looked like a fish, not as big as the tuna he had caught before, but it was still about ten pounds.
With a luck stat of 100, I'll give it my all!
