My Deep-sea Fishery

Had dinner.

The fishing boat continued to sail on the endless sea, the sky was full of stars, and the gentle sea breeze blowing across the deck made Xiang Yang very refreshed.

He Mingde came over, and he lit up a cigarette and took a good puff, "The sea at night is really pitch black. It's easy to be frightened after watching for a long time."

"You slept late last night and didn't go to rest?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"You don't sleep late, boy? What are you looking at here?" He Mingde asked.

"Look at the sea."

He Mingde followed Xiang Yang's line of sight and looked forward. His eyes were so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly. He was about to speak, but suddenly fell silent again.

"Are you afraid?" He Mingde asked after being silent for a while.

"What are you afraid of?" Xiang Yang looked at his uncle strangely.

"Buy a bigger ship." He Mingde sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so courageous, ambitious, and lucky. Before I resigned, I originally thought that the two of us would be partners. Buy a fishing boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, hire two or three crew members, and then spend a long time at sea drifting. As a result, you bought an ocean-going fishing boat when you came up. Not long after our cooperation, you have to replace it with a bigger boat.”

"Replacing with a larger fishing boat can go to farther seas and find more abundant fishing grounds to catch more fish." Xiang Yang said.

He Mingde said: "But a bigger fishing boat consumes more and has more people to support. The cost of varnish oil for a trip to sea is astronomical. When not out of sea, it also costs money to support a large group of crew."

Xiang Yang smiled, "Uncle, I've decided to change to a bigger ship, why are you talking about this again today?"

"Because our current fishing boat is profitable." He Mingde pointed to the darkness in front of him, "It doesn't necessarily mean that you can earn more if you change the boat. Know what's in the darkness."

Xiang Yang turned his head, "I'm actually not sure that I can make money after changing to a bigger ship, but I'm not just changing to a bigger ship just to make money, I want to go to farther seas to have a look, I think Cross the entire ocean while I am young and still able to walk, and when I am old, I can tell myself that my life is worthwhile and a legend."

He Mingde looked at Xiang Yang and blinked.

Xiang Yang continued: "And it's not that I don't know what's in this darkness. It's the sea, it's a fishing ground, and it's my catch. As long as I know that this darkness is the sea, I won't be afraid of anything. In the sea, I dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to risk my life to fight."

He Mingde immediately said: "Actually, you don't need to fight like this."

Xiang Yang smiled and stopped worrying about this problem. He pointed to the distance and said, "According to the map, there will be a deserted island a little further ahead of us. We can camp on the deserted island tonight."

"Desert island?" He Mingde asked in confusion.

"Actually, it's not a desert island anymore. It was still a desert island about five years ago. In recent years, there have been more and more fishermen with deep sea capabilities. The small island has been transformed into a fishing transfer station by local fishermen. Every night, there are many small fishing boats that go too far out to sea and cannot return that day, and spend the night on that island."

"Is that so?" He Mingde hurried to the cab to ask Xu Fang to borrow a telescope to look ahead, and sure enough, he saw a few yellow lights in the dark distance. It was a fishing boat parked on the sea with its searchlights on. Tell other fishing boats where there is a boat signal.

"It seems that there is really a small island, shall we drive directly to it?" He Mingde asked.

"I asked Master Xu. Master Xu said that there are many hidden reefs near the small island. Our boat is too big to go there, but if you want to go there overnight, we can drive the boat nearby and put a rubber boat there."

In fact, Xiang Yang didn’t expect to go to that island at first. People who have never been out at sea may find it very fresh to spend the night on the island, but for fishermen, if it is not a last resort, they don’t like to spend the night on the island. Xiang Yang The reason why such a matter was brought up was because he didn't want He Mingde to continue to struggle with the ship change.

He Mingde thought for a while and said: "How about we don't go there, drive to the vicinity and turn on the searchlights and then just rest. If we really want to row a rubber boat to that island, how long will we have to work?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "Alright."

Soon, the fishing boat gradually approached the small island.

At this time, Xiang Yang saw more than ten lights gathered in one place on the island.

"The fishermen on this island don't go to sleep at night, what are they doing together?" Xiang Yang wondered.

"Is it playing cards?" Fang Youqun guessed: "Brother Yang, why don't you let me go, and I'll play a hand too?"

Hearing what Fang Youqun said, many crew members on the ship were eager to try. They just received a bonus from Xiang Yang today. How can they not feel itchy when they see someone playing cards at this time?

It was Chen Qingsheng who started the road. Before Xiang Yang could open his mouth, he yelled loudly: "What cards are you playing? Are you still going to work? Our boat will set sail early tomorrow morning. If you can't get up, you can row the rubber boat by yourself Row back to Qinglong Bend."

The boys shrank their heads and dared not bring up the matter of playing cards again.

"Okay, master Xu turned on the searchlight on the ship, leaving two people on duty on the ship, and the rest of them went back to their cabins to rest." Xiang Yang ordered.

"Wait, Captain." Xu Fang called Xiang Yang to stop him.

"Master Xu?"

"Captain, look, the lights on the island are not shining in the same place, and there are lights moving from time to time. They don't seem to be playing cards."

Xiang Yang took a closer look at that and immediately found out that those people gave Xiang Yang the feeling that they were looking for something.

Xiang Yang immediately became curious, "Chen Qingsheng, take a few people over to have a look."

"Yes, Captain."

Chen Qingsheng ordered two rubber boats, and immediately carried the rubber boats and threw them down the sea.

After more than 20 minutes, Chen Qingsheng came back, and he shouted: "Captain, captain."

"I'm here." Xiang Yang walked to the side of the boat and looked down at Chen Qingsheng on the rubber boat, "Hey, what is this in your hand?"

Chen Qingsheng was holding a black plastic bag in his left hand and a woven bag in his right hand. He laughed so hard that his mouth was about to burst, "Good thing, captain, we don't want to sleep tonight."

Xiang Yang said: "What good thing?"

Nowadays, Xiang Yang doesn't like ordinary things, and Chen Qingsheng thinks that if Xiang Yang stays up all night, he will make a lot of seafood, at least it must be a banquet-level seafood.

"It's a grouper, all blue grouper." Chen Qingsheng had the woven bag hoisted onto the boat, which contained a fresh wild blue grouper.
