"Oh my god! It escaped back into the sea again. What a pity. I was wondering why it looked so red." After feeling sorry for a moment, Ye Yaopeng put it out of his mind and lowered his head to pick up his own.
Forget about the missed fish. The stuff in front of us is more important. Let’s take care of the present first.
"Wait and see if you will be pushed up by the waves again. Don't rush forward, or else you won't be able to reach the shore if the waves roll in or the typhoon blows."
At Ye Yaodong's reminder, the two of them looked around again, then hurriedly took a few steps back, and while picking up the things they unknowingly moved forward.
He touched the rope around his waist and felt more at ease. He knew he wouldn't follow the fish rashly.
"My bucket is almost full, take it in and pour it out."
Ye Yaodong threw a big white pomfret in front of him into the bucket. He felt that the bucket was already about 70% full and heavy. He shone the flashlight around and did not see any fish, so he carried the bucket to the yard, found a basket and placed it under the porch to empty the fish out.
When the two brothers heard him say that his bucket was almost full, they felt envious and full of energy. They continued to look around with their heads down, regardless of the wind and rain.
The typhoon was howling there mercilessly, and heavy rain was pouring down like a bucket, sweeping past in waves, but the two brothers were still full of passion.
I don't know if the three of them had been shining flashlights at the doorsteps nearby and had shone them at the neighbor's house, and actually alarmed other people. The men in the five or six families who had just moved in this year also ran out in their raincoats to see what was going on.
I originally thought that the three of them had lost something important, so they braved the strong wind and rain to look for it. I thought that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. They are all neighbors. I came out to ask about the situation, lend a hand, and knock on the door of the neighboring brother to come out together, so that I can have company.
But I didn’t expect that the three of them were picking up fish
Picking up fish
Really picking up fish!
As soon as they stepped out of the house, they saw some scattered fish, shrimps and shells around. They knew without thinking that they must have been hit by the waves or blown by the typhoon.
With the idea of picking up something if it’s a waste, they picked up everything they saw, but they found a big white pomfret not far from the door
The silvery-white figure instantly brightened up everyone's eyes. The big white pomfret is not comparable to those small fish.
The people who came out immediately understood what those three people were picking up when they squatted there. They were picking up money!
There are a few scattered fish around everyone's door, all of which were washed up by the previous wave of sea water. They are not evenly distributed, but are just randomly washed by the waves. The three brothers haven't picked them up yet, so there are still some fish that have slipped through the net for them to pick up.
After picking up so much fish and shrimp along the way, they couldn't even hold them all in their hands. There wasn't even a basket or bucket to hold the fish and shrimp. They could only hold the silver pomfret in their arms. They wanted to run home immediately to get something to hold them.
But I was also curious to know how much those people had picked up. After all, they had been out for quite a while.
It looked quite close, so I didn't have to walk far, so I just went up to take a look.
At just one glance, everyone was excited. I was so surprised that I picked up almost a bucket of big white pomfret. I looked at another bucket next to me and saw that it was also a bucket of big white pomfret.
Now everyone ran into the house without hesitation, went back to get the bucket, and rushed back quickly. Even the strong wind could not stop them from making money.
"I thought you were squatting here for what? You picked up so many big white pomfret."
"When did you come out?"
"I heard from my children that they had seen flashlights shining everywhere just now. I thought they were just being naughty and playing with the flashlights at home..."
Ye Yaopeng shouted, "We just caught up with them a while ago. The big waves just brought a wave of big white pomfret up."
"What? Another wave of big white pomfret?"
"No wonder we saw such a big silver pomfret when we first came out. This fish is worth a lot of money per pound, several cents. You are going to get rich, picking up so many..."
"We've only been picking them up for a while, there are none but silver pomfret."
Believe it or not, it’s up to them.
"Oh my god... There are big waves and a typhoon, and a lot of fish and shrimp have been swept ashore..."
"It's just that the wind is too strong, the rain is too heavy, the waves are too big, it's too dangerous..."
"The wind is not strong, the rain is not strong, and the waves are not strong. Where can you find fish? You have to go to the sea to fish."
The neighbors were chatting in a funny way, shouting in the wind and rain, which made the painting look particularly strange.
They also found it very novel and full of freshness. They had never run out of their homes to pick up goods on the beach when a typhoon was blowing.
Who isn't afraid of typhoons? They can kill people. Every year, people die in typhoons.
Today's experience is really rare and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Generally, when a typhoon comes, everyone closes the doors and windows early and stays at home, waiting for the typhoon to pass.
No one would have the evil idea of picking up goods at the beach during a typhoon. It’s not like they value money over their lives. But now it’s right at their doorstep.
The fish is delivered to your doorstep, why don’t you pick it up
It's like the money has been scraped to your doorstep, so you have to pick it up.
“Whoosh~crash~boom~”
The typhoon howled in their ears, bringing with it a heavy rain that swept past. The waves not far away rolled up and roared, then crashed down, forming a symphony in their ears, but it did not dampen their enthusiasm in the slightest.
With so many people, people can be a little bolder. They just have to shout to talk, and after everyone has been talking loudly for a while, they shut up and took the time to pick up their own things.
Everyone’s thought at this moment is that you blow yours and I pick up mine. No matter how strong the wind is and how high the waves are, I will still stay away from you and just pick up mine.
I want money and I want my life.
Just when everyone was either hunching over, squatting, or bending over to pick up the trash, suddenly a huge wave rolled up on the sea.
Ye Yaodong felt the pressure and when he turned around, he was shocked. Before he could remind everyone to step back and avoid it.
It happened in a flash. The huge waves were blown by the typhoon and instantly covered their heads and backs without any mercy.
Those who didn't stand firmly were knocked down by the huge wave and were stunned.
"Ah, fish! Lots of fish!"
"And the shrimps and crabs... the blue crabs... ran away..."
"Be careful of the waves, we can't go any further..."
"Hey, you're still jumping~"
"Big bass?"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, with big and small fish all over the ground being hit by the big wave. Some were already killed, while others could still gasp for a few breaths and move their tails before dying.
Everyone around was extremely excited. Everywhere they looked, the ground was full of fish, shrimps and crabs. The catch from these waves was much better than what they caught with a single net.
However, there was no time to pick up the fish that fell to the ground, and many of them were carried back into the sea by the aftermath of the tide.
The big bass was estimated to weigh about ten kilograms. As soon as it was brought ashore, it attracted everyone's attention. Seeing it moved forward by the sea water, everyone rushed over.
Ye Yaodong wanted to run over despite the strong wind, but the rope tied around his waist held him back. He couldn't help but curse, "Sai Linmu, you're in the way. Damn it."
Just as he was about to untie the rope around his waist, another big wave came up and a familiar red figure was pushed up by the wave.
After Ye Yaodong caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, he stood there excitedly. The fish was pushed towards him by the waves, while everyone else was running towards the big bass.
Make a feint to the east and attack in the west!
You came just in time.
He watched anxiously, regretting that the waves were moving too slowly towards him and the tide was too shallow.
"Fuck, the waves were so big ahead, but now they are so small, hurry up and send it over."
When the aftermath of the tide pushed the big fish to the front, Ye Yaodong pounced down and grabbed the still jumping deep-sea golden-eye snapper.
"Wow, I've never seen one this big."
This one is a big-eyed golden-eyed fish. Its bright red color is particularly festive. Chinese people like red, and this red fish can add to the festive mood on the New Year’s Eve dinner table.
It also has a pair of big, KISS ME eyes, which are like transparent marbles. Even smaller than its eyes, they glow with golden light.
