Once the swordfish stopped thrashing about, Fu Yongning went to check on the situation, grumbling as he did so.
He asked the Fan brothers to help him deal with it.
Weighing with a crane.
501 jin!
Old Fu, puffing on his cigarette, said with a smile, "No matter what, this swordfish alone is worth tens of thousands of yuan."
Putting aside the dangers, the money was practically thrown directly at them from the ocean.
This is even more unbelievable than finding something for free; it's like a gift from heaven.
As it turns out, if you're not careful, even a windfall can be fatal.
Wu An nodded. To be honest, he was still a little confused. He hadn't even increased his luck stat, so how did this swordfish manage to die?
Thank goodness he didn't add it.
If you add a bit of luck, swordfish will probably swarm onto the boat like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
These are huge, rocket-like creatures; his trawler, which is as big as that, can't handle them.
Everyone was discussing the giant swordfish.
Ah Qing shouted, "What's there to guess? Let me tell you!"
Everyone looked at him.
Mei Wu asked in surprise, "A Qing, you know?"
Aqing nodded and said seriously, "It must be because Mazu saw that our catch this time wasn't as much as before, so..."
"They just threw this big swordfish onto the boat, which helped us fill some gaps."
Everyone:"……"
After he finished speaking, Ah Qing was very annoyed that everyone was staring at him like he was an "idiot." He shouted, "Brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Wu An: "..." He didn't want to be stared at like that by everyone, so he ignored A Qing.
Old Fu lit another cigarette and said, "It's probably just a coincidence."
"This swordfish saw us pulling in our net and chased after us."
"Swordfish are ferocious by nature. Not to mention rushing out to eat fish, I have also seen sailfish leap out high and poke seabirds in the sky to eat them."
"The swordfish and the marlin are actually the same. Together with the marlin, they are known as the 'Three Heroes of the Sea.'"
"They may be called chivalrous heroes, but they are actually quite dangerous."
Aqing exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Old Fu nodded: "Why would I lie to you?"
Having fished at sea for decades, he has seen all sorts of rare sights at sea. He then brought up the story of his friend who had been poked in the leg by a sailfish.
As they talked, everyone began sorting the catch.
The main species is the spiny scorpionfish, but there are also quite a few poisonous fish, such as stonefish, tigerfish, and lionfish. You can tell from their names that they are not to be trifled with, especially the stonefish. Don't be fooled by its beautiful name, Rose Poison Scorpionfish, it is actually incredibly ugly.
But it tastes very good, with tender flesh and no small bones, and it also has medicinal properties, making it a delicacy among fish since ancient times.
It looks like a bumpy stone on the surface, but the flesh has the effect of improving skin texture.
Therefore, it is expensive. Although there are not many poisonous fish in this net, it is more valuable than a bunch of pomfret.
Wu An's decision to return to the trench was indeed the right one.
This trench is a den of poison.
Previously, Boss Chen's trawler also operated here, but it didn't catch much poisonous creature, naturally because Boss Chen wasn't a cheater.
As Wu An watched everyone sorting their catch, glancing up at the sea every now and then, he couldn't help but kick A Qing and ask, "Aren't you tired?"
"Pick up a fish, then look up."
Ah Qing was panting heavily: "I'm so tired. I've been standing up and sitting down so many times, it's like doing squats."
"But there's nothing I can do about it."
"I'm scared."
Wu An said irritably, "What are you afraid of?"
Ah Qing said, "Brother, you're too lucky. What if Mazu throws another swordfish up to you later?"
"I need to prepare in advance."
Wu An kicked him twice more: "Still talking nonsense? You weren't the one who kicked me last time, were you?"
"The Goddess Mazu is not that free."
The words had barely left his lips.
A familiar, sharp scream suddenly came from not far away, and Wu An subconsciously got up to look over.
Tiger peeked over and looked this way, and the two of them made eye contact.
"Tiger?" Wu An was taken aback, not understanding why Tiger hadn't left. The next moment, Tiger disappeared.
Wu An searched for a while but couldn't find it. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw the sea surface not far away swaying.
That's Tiger.
Tiger was speeding across the sea, looking like a cannonball from a distance.
The target is... a swordfish!
Wu An's eyes widened in surprise. In his vision, the directions of Tiger and Swordfish appeared as two intersecting straight lines at a 45-degree angle.
At the moment of impact, it was like a real explosion, with water splashing everywhere on the sea surface. The loud "boom" startled Aqing and the others.
Wu An dared not blink, staring intently.
Tiger is still moving.
After circling the surface of the sea and diving down, the swordfish had vanished without a trace.
In just a few breaths, the sea next to the fishing boat swayed, and a dark shadow could be seen rapidly emerging from the seabed.
"Splash."
The sea surface churned, and Tiger lifted the swordfish up with force, sending it flying in an arc through the air before it landed on the deck of the fishing boat.
"Get out of the way!"
Wu An shouted.
The words had barely left his mouth when everyone had already moved aside, staring in astonishment as the swordfish landed on the deck.
Aqing excitedly pointed at the swordfish and shouted, "Brother, look, look!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, am I?"
"Consider those kicks you gave me before as a debt. If you kick me again next time, remember to pay me back for those kicks first."
Wu An was too lazy to pay him any attention.
Mei Wu chimed in, "Ah Qing, the swordfish was a gift from Hu Zi."
Ah Qing said, "Why would Tiger send a swordfish? It must be because the Goddess Mazu told him to send it."
While processing the swordfish, Fu Yongning said, "This time I think what Aqing said makes sense."
The Fan brothers nodded in agreement.
Seeing everyone supporting him, Aqing was overjoyed and shouted to Huzi, "Huzi, again, again!"
"Bring up a few more."
Wu An was both amused and exasperated.
Just as I was saying that Aqing was talking nonsense, a swordfish flew up and landed.
They were slapped in the face.
However, looking at this swordfish that weighs over 100 pounds, it's not entirely unacceptable.
It's worth at least several thousand dollars.
Seeing that Hu Zi barked twice, seemingly eager to try, Wu An quickly called out, "Hu Zi, don't listen to A Qing's nonsense."
"Don't provoke the swordfish."
"I told you to go find your people, why didn't you go?"
Tiger barked and nervously dove into the sea.
Wu An shouted, "Don't hide!"
"If you're so disobedient, we can't be friends anymore."
He spoke more harshly, but he didn't know if it would have any effect on Hu Zi.
soon.
Tiger's big head popped out of the sea a dozen meters away and made two soft grunts.
Just as Wu An was about to say a few words of advice, he saw two swordfish rushing straight toward Hu Zi from the sea surface.
It moved at an extremely high speed, splitting the seawater in its wake and leaving a ripple in its wake.
Seeing this, Wu An anxiously shouted, "Tiger, get out of the way!"
"Dive! Dive!"
"There are swordfish behind us!"
