Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Adong can make enough from selling dried fish now, why would he raise pigs? Raising pigs is not easy. I have to go back and forth so many times a day, and I have to cut grass for the pigs and cook pig food. It's very troublesome."
Ye Yaodong nodded seriously, so he just had to wait to buy ready-made food and they would raise him.
The group of four walked and talked until they returned to the doorstep, and then went back to their respective homes.
Ye Yaodong was still thinking about the sound he heard on the beach before. After knocking on the gate, he saw an old lady wearing a cotton-padded jacket coming out to open the door. He handed her a bucket of hot pork he had just bought and asked her to take it into the house first.
"Why don't you come in? It's still early in the morning. You can go back to your room and take a nap."
"I'll go to the beach and take a look. Yes, I need to bring two long and short hand nets, and a bucket."
The old lady watched him come in again, and after carrying the meat into the house, she started looking for tools everywhere. She quickly followed him and said, "It's still dark, what are you doing at the beach?"
"Catching fish. Fish are more active at night. I saw fish under the water when I went out earlier, but I didn't have time to watch them all the time. Anyway, I won't be able to sleep if I go back to the house now, so I'll go take a look."
"It's so cold, it's still dark, you should get some sleep and go out when it's light, to avoid catching a cold..."
"It's okay, I'm not cold, you can go back to the house."
After Ye Yaodong found the tools, he picked them up and walked out, ignoring the old lady who was still chattering behind him.
The ghost-like light they saw before was gone now, and they didn’t know if the appearance of the beam required any sign or had any principle behind it.
Fortunately it is gone, otherwise the old man would be scared if he saw it and might even get sick.
He walked to the beach with the flashlight and started shining it everywhere. When he saw some small fish and shells stranded on the beach, he picked them up and put them in the bucket.
Once you start picking, you simply cannot stop. There are more fish at night than during the day. Some fish are more active at night, and those that have just been stranded are also fresh. However, they are all worthless small fish, so you can only eat them casually at home. However, most people also dislike the small fish because they are full of bones and it wastes oil.
Ye Yaodong was instantly distracted by the stranded fish and shrimps, but he only picked them up for a while before deciding to give up. He originally thought there would be big fish, but if there were only these small fish and shells, would it be worth sacrificing his sleep time
Just when he straightened up and stretched, he heard a crackling sound on the water surface. But when he turned around, he saw nothing but ripples on the sea surface, spreading out.
He shone the flashlight and looked carefully at the sea surface, only then did he discover that there seemed to be a flashing light under the water in the distance
In fact, it has been happening intermittently all along, but he missed several times when he bent down to pick up the fish.
"Huh? There really is one?" He was pleasantly surprised. He shone the flashlight into the distance for a while before he discovered that there seemed to be a gray figure.
Suddenly, the gray figure jumped out of the water and then fell back into the sea.
"Oh shit, it's a little white shark."
It looked to be only about one meter long, and a cub among cubs. His eyesight was quite good, as an adult great white shark could grow to six or seven meters.
It felt like it was quite a long distance away. He didn't want to wade through the water in such a cold day. He wouldn't be able to sell the fish for much money if he caught them, so Ye Yaodong thought about it and gave up.
Great white sharks like to patrol around the coast. They usually cruise in a purposeful manner, either on the seabed or near the surface, but spend relatively less time in medium and deep waters.
Although he had no plans to go into the water, he was still curious whether the shark would go home right away, so he shone a flashlight towards the sea where the little white shark had just appeared.
As a result, I saw ripples spreading under the water, and splashing water from time to time. After a while, I felt it struggling violently
Huh
ah
No, he just saw some light under the water, but the little white shark can't emit light!
He was suddenly as surprised as if he had discovered a new world. In addition to the great white shark cubs, there were other fish as well.
Now he was no longer in a hurry to go back. He kept holding the flashlight and shining it forward. He stared at wherever there were splashes of water. As a result, he really saw the light he had discovered underwater before.
After a while, the great white shark cub suddenly jumped out of the water again and moved a little closer to the beach. Ye Yaodong instantly discovered that there was a fish hanging on its body, and the fish's belly was glowing.
"Ah, I found the reason!"
It's the Cigar Daruma Shark!
That fish with the glowing belly is a cigar shark!
He said, no matter how you think about it, it couldn't be a toadfish. Toadfish stay at the bottom and should not be able to reach the beach.
As the white shark pup approached the shallows, the cigar shark with a glowing belly also came closer.
"Come over, fight~"
Ye Yaodong was also excited when he saw that it was a cigar shark. This fish is not big in size, but it is very aggressive and is an extremely ferocious shark.
Because of its relatively small size, it can keep its mouth firmly fixed on its prey after launching an attack, so when the great white shark pup jumped out of the sea just now, it also brought it out with it.
The cigar shark is generally about 42 to 56 cm long. Its overall color is brown with a white belly. It is widely distributed around the world.
They generally live in sea areas between 0 and 3,500 meters, and perform vertical migration day and night every day. In simple terms, they swim to the shallow sea at dusk, and then swim back to the deep sea at dawn.
One of its most distinctive features is that it uses the "light-emitting organ" on its abdomen to lure prey.
Previously, Ye Yaodong discovered that the light under the water was its light organ.
When the prey comes close out of curiosity, it will suck its mouth onto the prey, bite the prey's body with its fangs, and then begin to twist its body frantically until it tears off a large piece of meat.
Because of its special mouth structure and attack method, it often leaves obvious "circular scars" on various prey.
Some unlucky ones may even be attacked several times, and their bodies will look like they have been cupped, which is a horrible sight.
The great white shark cub in the sea now might be the unlucky one. It was probably being attacked by the cigar shark just now, so it was struggling underwater, making crackling sounds and jumping out of the water.
The reason why it didn't get bitten to death for so long was probably due to its large size.
Although Cigar Daruma is ferocious, it is small in size. However, it refuses to admit defeat and does not think that its strength is limited to this.
Therefore, it often attacks creatures that are several times larger than itself. Even killer whales and great white sharks at the top of the food chain have been harmed by it.
From Ye Yaodong's perspective, this great white shark cub would not be able to escape its clutches and it would only be a matter of time before it was bitten to death.
Judging from the noise he heard before he went to the old house to watch the pig being slaughtered, more than an hour has passed. He should be dead soon, right
As they swam closer, Ye Yaodong could see more clearly. The great white shark cub had a lot of holes and scars on its body, and it was unknown how long it had been tortured.
The cigar shark seemed to be fighting a guerrilla war. Before the great white shark bit off a piece of meat, the cub had no way to deal with it. It couldn't attack and could only struggle in pain under the water.
After biting, it relied on its small size to dodge flexibly in the water, and the great white shark cub had no way to deal with it.
However, due to the size difference, it is impossible for an eagle to eat all the great white shark pups even if it bites them. Sometimes it can cause infection and eventually endanger their lives.
Although the great white shark cub has not yet reached adulthood, it also has a bad temper. As more flesh is bitten off its body, the pain it feels becomes more intense, and its struggle on the water surface becomes more and more violent, splashing water everywhere, and the movement on the water surface gradually approaches the beach.
Afraid of being splashed by water, Ye Yaodong took a few steps back and picked up the long-handled hand-scoop net that he had just thrown on the ground, hesitating whether to go forward and scoop the fish.
Although the cigar shark is small, it can attack people. Its teeth are as long as saw teeth, and even the great white shark is not as ferocious as it.
He had seen one once before that was caught and not dead. When a crew member went forward to sort it out, it suddenly jumped up and bit his finger hard. If everyone hadn't helped to kill it, and the creature had been out of the water for too long, the crew member's bones would have been nearly bitten off.
After thinking about it, I decided that it shouldn't be a problem if I just be careful and don't try to get my hands on him before he kills me.
He stood on the beach and tried to gesture, but the distance was still not long enough, just a little short. He had to wait patiently for a while. It was impossible for him to go into the water.
