Watched Xiang's mother go back.
Xiang Yang climbed onto the fishing boat and took down three fully enclosed diving suits and three head-mounted searchlights.
"Brother Xiang, your equipment is pretty good." Zhang Qicheng turned a set of diving equipment over and over and looked at it for a long time, seeming to be very knowledgeable.
Xiang Yang laughed and said, "I rely on this to make a living. What if I can't even make a living?"
Zhang Qicheng seemed to have really dived before. He quickly changed into his diving suit without any guidance from Xiang Yang and He Mingde.
After putting on the diving suit, Zhang Qicheng tried to walk a few steps on the beach and frowned, "It's so heavy."
Xiang Yang handed the searchlight to Zhang Qicheng and said, "Take this with you too." This searchlight is not powered by kerosene, but is rechargeable. When fully charged, liquid will flow in the battery box like water. Xiang Yang couldn't explain the specific working principle.
Zhang Qicheng put the searchlight on his helmet and asked, "Shall we go down now?"
Xiang Yang nodded, his face suddenly becoming serious, "You can only follow behind me later, no matter what happens, you can't leave more than two meters away from me."
Zhang Qicheng nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I never joke about my life."
Xiang Yang then nodded and took the lead to walk into the ocean.
Zhang Qicheng walked in the middle and He Mingde followed at the end.
Compared with his previous dives, He Mingde was obviously much more serious this time. Not only was he fully focused, he also held a sharp spear gun over half a meter long in his hand.
After walking for a while, Zhang Qicheng suddenly said, "Diving is convenient now. Not only do we have oxygen tanks, but we also have diving equipment that can protect the whole body. Compared with the fishermen who used to dive and catch fish with empty hands, we have so many advantages."
"But the prices of rare seafood like abalone and sea cucumber, which can only be caught while diving, have not only not dropped, but have shown a trend of continuous increase," Xiang Yang lamented.
Zhang Qicheng pondered for a moment after hearing this. He knew that Xiang Yang was telling the truth.
In recent years, fishermen have indeed caught more and more rare seafood.
However, more and more people are eating seafood, and coupled with environmental pollution and the gradual depletion of marine fishery resources, the end result is that the prices of various rare seafood are getting higher and higher.
Thinking of abalone and sea cucumber, Zhang Qicheng suddenly remembered that Xiang Yang had caught abalone and sea cucumber on the seabed. He quickly asked, "Brother Xiang, can we catch abalone and sea cucumber this time?"
"Don't even think about abalone and sea cucumbers. There are no abalone in our sea area, and the sea cucumbers have long been caught up by crazy fishermen. But as long as our luck is not too bad, it shouldn't be a problem to catch a few swimming crabs and pick up a few scallops." Xiang Yang said.
Zhang Qicheng nodded repeatedly. For him, it was a good thing to catch swimming crabs even if he couldn't catch abalone or sea cucumber. He was not specialized in this anyway. He would be happy as long as he didn't return empty-handed.
They chatted for a few more sentences, and the water finally covered their shoulders. Xiang Yang was the first to close his mouth, lean forward, and dive into the seabed. At the same time, the searchlight on his head turned on, illuminating the sea in front of him with a snow-white light.
When Zhang Qicheng saw Xiang Yang going down, he hurriedly followed him down.
As soon as he reached the bottom of the sea, Zhang Qicheng was mesmerized by the scenery. There was endless snow-white sea sand under his feet, and occasionally a beautiful little fish could be seen swimming leisurely around. The sea sand was dotted with beautiful shells of various colors and shapes.
After Xiang Yang went down to the bottom of the sea, he looked back at Zhang Qicheng. Seeing Zhang Qicheng standing there in a daze, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, he came down here to accompany Zhang Qicheng to play, and Xiang Yang did not expect to catch much fish this time.
Zhang Qicheng was fascinated by the underwater scene and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He smiled embarrassedly at Xiang Yang and swam quickly to Xiang Yang's side.
Xiang Yang waved to Zhang Qicheng and He Mingde, signaling them to follow him. Although they came here just for fun, Xiang Yang also didn't think of going up empty-handed. Even if it was just for fun, catching seafood was better than not catching any seafood.
Seeing Zhang Qicheng and He Mingde following behind him, Xiang Yang swam in one direction. He seemed to be swimming aimlessly, but in fact he had already set his sights on a group of swimming crabs that were foraging together.
There were about ten swimming crabs in that group, all of them were large crabs weighing more than 150 grams each. The leading one was a male crab as big as two palms. It was seen roaming the seabed with a pair of large claws, looking very arrogant.
Swimming closer.
Xiang Yang was just about to catch the leading swimming crab.
Suddenly, Zhang Qicheng, who had been following Xiang Yang, became excited. He also saw the group of swimming crabs and the leading one, a big swimming crab weighing at least half a pound.
Excited Zhang Qicheng immediately forgot what Xiang Yang had told him when they were on the shore. He waved his arms violently and swam in front of Xiang Yang, chasing after the swimming crabs.
The noise Zhang Qicheng made was so loud that the frightened swimming crabs instantly scattered and fled.
Xiang Yang watched this scene speechlessly, wondering whether this guy came down to catch swimming crabs or to save them
In fact, Zhang Qicheng was even more speechless than Xiang Yang. He saw a large group of swimming crabs swimming leisurely in front of him, and immediately thought of putting all of these swimming crabs into his net bag. However, before he could make any move, these swimming crabs scattered and ran away.
Zhang Qicheng immediately turned around and looked at Xiang Yang with a resentful look on his face, as if he was blaming Xiang Yang for not coming forward to help him.
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes in annoyance. He guessed that Zhang Qicheng still thought these swimming crabs were already caught and tied up with straw, and he could just twist them up with his hands.
Xiang Yang swam over and pointed behind him, signaling Zhang Qicheng not to move.
Zhang Qicheng smiled awkwardly and swam back to Xiang Yang very depressed.
Xiang Yang looked around. He had no intention of letting those swimming crabs go. Familiar with the habits of swimming crabs, Xiang Yang knew that those swimming crabs would not run far. After being frightened, they would probably take advantage of the night to hide in the nearby sea sand or under the reefs.
With the help of the jade shell, Xiang Yang saw at a glance that the leading swimming crab, which weighed at least half a pound, was digging a hole on a sandy beach on the seabed. It waved a pair of large claws and inserted it into the fine white sand. Then, all eight crab legs exerted force together, and its entire crab shell seemed to turn into a spinning top and it drilled under the sand in an instant.
What is very strange is that after a swimming crab weighing half a pound crawled into it, the seabed beach is still very flat, with only a small hole the size of a finger left in the center.
"Good fellow, if I hadn't seen it in person, it would have really escaped." Xiang Yang thought to himself that it was amazing, and then quickly swam towards the small hole.
