It was too strenuous to catch it with bare hands, and it ran away without paying attention. He thought that after he went ashore and had a rest, he would bring a hand-held net with him to make it easier.
He didn't think that only one of the rows of ground cages would be stuck. When he continued to collect it later, there would definitely be others stuck. What's more, with so much cargo on the seabed, he would definitely have to go into the water, but now he had to remove the net bag first.
Fill first.
The feeling of catching it by yourself is different. It is much more exciting and more fun than catching it in a cage. If it were not underwater, he would definitely be more excited.
However, the little green dragon is too active and can jump around, which is a bit time-consuming and requires too much energy. He has limited physical strength, so chasing the little green dragon is not worth the gain. He plans to look for sea cucumbers first and dig some abalones by the way.
The seabed here is a bottom layer of mud and sand, which is suitable for sea cucumbers to survive.
But there were a lot of rocks around, large and small, pointed, round, and in all kinds of weird shapes. He thought it was due to the earthquake some time ago, so they were scattered everywhere. Even corals were broken and fell on the sand.
There are also large reefs, and fishing nets cannot catch fish here. Perhaps it is because of this geographical environment that this place has become a refuge for little green dragons.
He walked around carefully and saw two sea cucumbers lying on the surface of the sand in front of him, crawling forward, a bit like a large caterpillar, moving extremely slowly.
It takes no effort at all to get it.
He caught two of them, but saw one half lying there in the seaweed in front of him?
As he walked, he stuffed the two into his net pocket, and when he stepped forward, he saw that the one lying here was really only half a body, but it was alive.
Sea cucumbers are somewhat similar to earthworms. They have miraculous regeneration capabilities. If they are eaten in half or even cut into three pieces, as long as they are not completely eaten, they will repair themselves. Generally, the wound can be repaired in 2-7 months, and each segment will heal to be complete.
of sea cucumber individuals.
You can keep the half-cut ones for yourself and eat them later. Then you can hide a few more secretly and kill them first before displaying them. Otherwise, your father will be heartbroken again.
It just so happens that the old lady and Ah Qing both need a good supplement.
He fiddled with the seaweed around him and found two more.
There are quite a lot of sea cucumbers here. Perhaps because they move slowly, sea cucumbers often stay in one place and rarely move. They are also very easy to catch. As long as they are seen, they are in his bag.
He searched all the way forward and unknowingly came to the edge of the sunken ship. He was not interested in the fish boat that had just sunk. It was not an ancient sunken ship. He simply ignored the treasure he was looking for.
But at this moment, a stone fish emerged from the bottom of the boat, which shocked him.
Just as he was about to move away, the stone fish actually swam to his left front, and then lay motionless on the edge of the reef.
Not bad, not bad!
He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, fortunately he saw it...
There are a lot of abalone adsorbed around that reef...
The stone fish is not amazing in appearance, only about 30 centimeters in length. It likes to hide on the seabed or under rocks, disguising itself as an inconspicuous stone.
But it is the most venomous fish in the world, and its protective color blends perfectly with the seabed. It does not actively attack its prey, but if someone steps on it accidentally, it will immediately fight back without mercy and launch deadly missiles outwards.
Highly toxic.
The 12 to 14 sharp needle-like back spines on its back can easily penetrate the soles of shoes and penetrate into the soles of the feet, causing people to be poisoned quickly and remain in severe pain until death.
Thinking about it, Ye Yaodong shuddered. Fortunately, he saw it in advance, otherwise the fish would have been easily ignored and thought to be a stone stepped on randomly.
You really shouldn't touch things in the sea. Unless you know them, you don't know if you can make it to shore alive.
After he memorized the hiding place of the stone fish, he got out of the way and planned to dig a few abalone nearby, fill the net bag and float up, so as not to delay for too long and worry his father above.
It was my first time to dive so deep, so I had to go up first to report that I was safe.
He carefully checked the surrounding spots to see if there were no unknown creatures, so he safely stood in front of a small reef and settled down.
This place should be an abalone nest. There are no conches on the small rocks, only abalones.
He took out the knife in his pocket, which he had prepared just in case his foot got tangled in seaweed.
Aim the iron piece at the gap between the abalone and the stone, and insert it suddenly...
Then pry upward and overturn the abalone.
But after just prying for a while, he felt a little tired and exhausted. Activities in the water took too much energy, and it didn't take long for him to come down.
When he felt a little tired, he decisively gave up on the abalone in front of him, put away his tools, and swung his flippers upstream.
He tried his best to avoid the fish swimming around him. After a while, he surfaced on the water. Before he could climb up, he heard his father's anxious and relieved voice.
"You bastard, you just went down to get some cage nets. I've been there for so long, I thought something happened to you and scared me, so I was about to jump down to take a look."
Ye Yaodong took off his goggles and looked at his father, who was only wearing autumn clothes and standing on the side of the ship with an ugly face, glaring at him fiercely, wishing he could pull him up and beat him up.
He said with a sneer: "Isn't it because there are so many things under the sea that I can't bear to leave..."
"Why don't you get up here quickly? You haven't soaked it in enough water, right?"
"Just come up."
He climbed up using his hands and feet, and as soon as he climbed up, he immediately collapsed on the deck and gasped.
He thought that after half a year of hard work, his physical strength should be good, so he took out the watch in the coat pocket next to him. It turned out that only more than 20 minutes had passed. Including the time to adapt to the sea before, he had not been in the sea for long.
So vain...
"How come you are so unreliable even though you are such a big person? You went into the water to look for the ground cage. When it is ready, you have to come up. You have been down there for so long. I have pulled up the ground cage, but you have no one."
Appeared. Fortunately, I am your father. If I were just a boatman, he might have thought you died below and just sailed back..."
Father Ye was so angry that he pointed at him and scolded him. As he spoke, he went to the corner to get a stick again.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and I almost burst into tears. This is my son, and I thought I couldn’t give up, so I had to get into the water anyway.
"Ah? Dad, why did you just get a stick? What's the matter? Ah... don't hit me... If you have something to say, say it properly, say it carefully..." Ye Yaodong hadn't breathed enough, and even before he took off his flippers, he used his hands and feet together, even
He was rolling and crawling to avoid it.
"Speak of your mother! The more I think about it, the more angry I get!"
Father Ye took a stick as thick as his arm and struck him mercilessly, directly hitting his pert buttocks.
"Oh~ It's really a beating. I have to go into the water later. The net bag hasn't been picked up yet..."
A solid stick made him grimace in pain, but he was wearing flippers, and the rope of the net bag was tied around his waist. The net bag was still confiscated in the sea, so he couldn't run away.
"You're still going to hit me? You're going to hit me again? I can't beat you to death... You have to worry about such a big person..."
"Hey~ Okay, okay, I'll fight later, I'll fight again later..."
After being hit several times in a row, Father Ye stopped.
Ye Yaodong covered his butt and took off his flippers first. This obstructive thing made it impossible for him to run away.
"I didn't mean to do it on purpose. I saw there was a lot of stuff down there, so I thought I would fill up the net bag first and come up in the limited time."
"It's too late to come up first after you finish the ground cage?"
"Isn't this to save time?"
Father Ye made another gesture with his stick, and Ye Yaodong immediately stopped, "Okay, okay, you are my father, I will do whatever you say, you can hit me if you want, now let me put the net bag up..."
He made a surrender gesture with his hands, then grabbed the rope tied around his waist and walked to the side of the ship, pulling the rope hard.
After a while, there was a bang, and a net bag filled with seafood was forcefully pulled onto the ship by Ye Yaodong.
A full net bag was filled with lobsters, large abalone, and sea cucumbers.
When he first came up, he felt a little exhausted. Thinking that he could save some effort, he lengthened the rope tied around his waist. People came up first, and then he pulled up the sea goods placed on the bottom of the sea.
Father Ye looked at the full net bag and was a little surprised. It contained 4 small green dragons, a dozen sea cucumbers, and half a bag of large abalones. Ye Yaodong didn't count how many of them, anyway, the weight was not light.
"Are there so many sea cucumbers down there?"
"You have nothing to say now, right? Do you know why I'm reluctant to come up?"
Father Ye glared angrily, "You're still reasonable. It's too late to come up first and then go down later. I can't beat you to death. If you haven't been beaten for a while, your skin will itch."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. He was already in his 20s, but his father still beat him whenever he wanted. He was so angry that no one saw him.
"When did you pull up the ground cage? I was just looking for sea cucumbers down there and didn't notice it."
"It's been about ten minutes since you entered the water. I watched you not come up for a long time, so I tried to pull up the cage and found that it could be pulled up. Who knows that people who have been waiting for a long time but haven't been able to wait for you thought that you couldn't get in?
Coming..."
"Ah, okay, okay... my fault... my fault..." Hearing his father start talking again, he quickly changed the subject, "How many floor cages did you pull?"
"I just pulled two of them up, but they got stuck again."
"Wait a minute, I'll rest for a while. I'll go down after I've rested enough. There are a lot of small green dragons down there. It was hard to catch them without a net bag just now. It was a waste of time and energy, so I had to go looking for sea cucumbers and abalones."
"Is it safe? Can you see the bottom of the sea? How deep is it?" Father Ye was a little worried. He almost died of fright just now.
"Be careful and don't touch anything you don't know. The basic problem is not big. There may be a reef underneath. It's only a dozen meters deep. The visibility is okay. The weather is good today."
"You have just come up. You should rest for a while. The ground cage will not disappear if you put it here first. Go and collect the row hooks first. I will collect them. You rest and then come back after collecting them. Otherwise, you don't know how long you will be delayed.
.”
"Alright."
It’s time to collect the hooks. Take a break and come back later.
