"Ah? Can this manta ray be like this?"
"Dongzi, you're still on the boat? What should I do?"
As soon as A Zheng and Xiao Xiao heard the loud noise, they noticed that their boat had also been affected and was shaken violently.
Then he kept staring at the sea surface over there, and when he saw the big manta ray just around Ye Yaodong's boat, his heart began to lift.
The two boats were not close to each other, so it would be useless for them to move closer, so they could only stand there and watch.
When they saw his boat being dragged by the manta ray, their eyes bulged out and their mouths opened into an O shape, unable to close for a long time.
Please forgive them for their lack of knowledge and they have never seen such a scene. It is simply too dreamy. Can a manta ray be like this
I've only heard that it can fly one or two meters above the water, but I've never heard that it can tow a boat. It's really weird.
"What else can we do? We can only wait to rescue him. What else can we do? He won't die anyway." Xiao Xiao said with his hands spread out.
"All right."
They could hear Ye Yaodong's shouting and cursing from afar, and as they listened, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
Ah Zheng touched his chin and suddenly said, "It looks exciting?"
"Indeed! Feeling a bit refreshed?"
“It must be very enjoyable!”
"So it's awesome?"
"should!"
If Ye Yaodong heard that these two bad friends were not worried about him and were still wondering whether he was happy or not, or whether he was extremely happy, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood and rush over to strangle them to death.
He didn't know how long the boat was dragged for. When Ye Yaodong was almost numb, the boat finally stopped. He turned around excitedly and saw the silhouette of the manta ray. It dived directly into the water and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
"Fuck~ What's this?"
He lay straight on the boat without moving, gasping for breath and needing to slow down.
When Zheng and Xiaoxiao saw that the manta ray had disappeared, they quickly rowed the boat over.
"You're still here? We thought we were going to come and get you."
"How does it feel? Is it pleasant? Is it stimulating?"
Ye Yaodong turned his head and glanced at them with disdain, "Why don't you try? I can send you straight to heaven!"
"Hehe, we want to do that too, but unfortunately we don't have the opportunity, nor the luck. We really envy you for always having such good things happen to you!" Ah Zheng said with a giggle.
"Bah! I'll let you have this kind of good thing next time."
"Okay, brother, I'll take over in advance."
He rolled his eyes and stopped talking to them. He sat up and shook his head, which was wet and had large drops of water on it, and then checked the damage on the ship.
The two buckets full of fish had fallen over, and the fish were all over the boat. He didn't know whether they were thrown into the sea. He picked up the fish back into the buckets. It was troublesome to pick up the other shrimps and crabs, so he just left them like that. It would not be too late to put them in again after getting ashore.
"Dongzi, why did that manta ray suddenly drag your boat?"
"How should I know? What the hell?" he said as he packed up.
"Did you catch its cub, so the manta ray came here to take revenge?"
Ye Yaodong stopped what he was doing and said uncertainly, "It's possible. I heard that manta rays can only give birth to one cub at a time."
"Really? How do you know everything?"
"I'm well-informed."
"Tsk~ That loud bang we heard on the sea before was also caused by it, right?" A Zheng asked curiously.
They were far away at the time and did not see any figure. They only heard the sound and the waves shaking the sea, which shook violently.
"Yes, it flew over my head like a kite and hit the sea directly."
"I've seen it all. Before, I only heard from the elders in the village that manta rays are super big and scary. If you take a picture of it, half of its life will be gone. Today is the first time I've seen such a big one. All I've seen before are ordinary yao fish."
Ah Zheng asked curiously, "Dongzi, you are closer, how long is the fish?"
"The diameter is estimated to be more than three meters. This is the first time I've seen one this big. It's a bit surprising."
I won’t talk about my previous life.
"Awesome, it can actually grow this big?"
"There are even bigger ones. I heard that the diameter of the giant ones can reach seven meters. This one is nothing."
"You know again?"
"Of course, please call me Seapedia."
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "Stop bragging. Check if there is any damage to the cargo on your ship?"
"I don't know. They were thrown onto the boat randomly. I can't tell if there's any missing. Never mind. Do you still want to continue collecting the goods?"
"Yes, of course. We had only collected less than half of the fish when we heard the noise."
"Okay then, then you guys go ahead and I'll continue to collect the goods." It was a false alarm, so he continued to work. It was just a little after 1 o'clock and it was still early in the evening. He should be able to collect two more times from start to finish.
"Okay, I'm glad you're okay, then let's continue to collect the goods."
Ye Yaodong also drove the boat to the sea where he placed the hook, and was dragged a long distance by the manta ray. It was really exciting. I can brag about it to others. Fortunately, both the man and the boat were fine. It doesn't matter if it is towed farther away.
He resigned himself to his fate and slowly rowed back to the original spot. After more than half an hour, he was finally able to reel in his hooks.
But the catch this time was not very ideal, there were basically empty hooks, or the bait was still hanging on them and there was no movement.
The best fish we caught was probably a 6-pound sea bass, and the other fish we caught were less than half of the previous catch.
He thought about it and concluded that it must be because of the manta ray that was dragging the boat. It was so huge that the fish had to avoid it. They were not afraid of being eaten, but also worried about being hit and losing their lives.
Moreover, the noise caused by the impact on the sea surface just now was so loud that the big and small fish around were probably scared away and dared not approach.
After receiving the goods again without any surprise, he felt water drops falling on his face. He looked up, only to find that the sky had been covered with dark clouds and it felt like it was going to rain heavily.
A few small raindrops fell slowly, and there was no sign of getting stronger for the time being. He hesitated for a moment and did not retract the hook because the bait had just been put down.
After thinking about it, I decided to ask them whether they were coming back or not, so I rowed the boat slowly towards Xiaoxiao and Azheng. The two boats were not very close to each other, and the rowing was relatively slow. When they got closer, the raindrops became a little bigger.
He shouted at the top of his voice not far away: "It's raining, and there's not much goods at the moment. I'm going back. Do you want to go back early?"
"Well, we are also reeling in the line. There is only a little left. We will go back when we are done. Have you finished reeling in the line?"
"I plan to let it sit overnight and come back to collect it tomorrow. It's not far from the shore anyway, so I don't worry about it getting lost."
"Yeah, there are marks anyway." Ah Zheng nodded and was very interested. He asked Xiao Xiao, "Should we just throw it into the sea so that we can come and pick it up tomorrow?"
Xiao Xiao said, "We have already collected more than half of it. There is not much left. We have finished collecting it. Now we can't let it out again. The line is all tangled. Let's see how Dongzi's harvest is tomorrow."
"All right."
Seeing that they were still busy there, Ye Yaodong shouted directly: "I'm leaving first, you guys hurry up."
"knew."
The weather at the seaside is sometimes quite capricious, often sunny in the east and rainy in the west.
When he rowed the boat to the shore, he found that there had been no rain and the soil on the shore was very dry, with no signs of rain at all.
He was depressed and wasted his time. If he had known there was no rain on the shore, he would have stayed a little longer. Maybe after a while there would be no rain on the sea and he could continue to harvest.
But now we had reached the shore, so we had to give up.
After Ye Yaodong tied up the boat, he first carried the two barrels of fish ashore, then went to Acai to get two large baskets to take back to the boat to load the fish.
By the way, he asked an acquaintance on the shore to help lift him. Unfortunately, the acquaintance was his father's friend Uncle Lin Jingye. The engine on his boat broke down, so he docked early today.
"Hey~ Why do you have so much catch today? Didn't you put out ground traps? There are several rows of them, and they are all big fish. There are hardly any small fish. How come the catch is so good?"
Lin Jingye lifted up a basket as he spoke, and was stunned to find a large amount of goods in the basket underneath.
"Ah!? There is such a big manta ray? Where did it come from?"
"I caught it!"
He was right, it was caught by longline fishing.
"Wow, this manta ray is quite big and very valuable. You made a lot of money today." Lin Jingye clicked his tongue a few times.
"I'm lucky. Uncle Lin, don't talk too much. Help me carry it to Ah Cai's place. There are still several baskets left."
"Okay." He walked over and said, "Ah Dong, I heard from your father last night that you wanted to buy a second-hand iron boat?"
"Ah? Uncle Lin knew about it so quickly?"
"No, your father and I are old friends. He came to my house last night and asked me to help you keep an eye out for who wants to sell a boat."
His father is really efficient. I guess he left right after he left.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Lin."
Lin Jingye said with a smile: "Good boy, it's you who really wants to buy a boat. I thought your father was bragging. It's only been a few months and you're going to buy a bigger boat. That's amazing."
"Haha, it's just a patchwork. It's nothing special. It's just Hukou."
"Don't be modest. Your father has praised you a lot in the past few months. Last night, when I was drinking, he praised you for your success. You are going to change to a big ship so soon. You are much more capable than your elder and second brothers. I was so happy that I drank two more ounces of wine."
He smiled and said nothing. What does this have to do with anything
