Chapter 250 Reef

At night, he got up as usual, and brought more noodles and vegetables today, so that his mother and sister could not go hungry.

After checking the fishing nets and hooks on the cart, he found that there were no shortage of them, and then he hurriedly pushed them outside the pier, where his mother and sister were already waiting.

"Where's my dad?"

"He went down to sail the boat first."

"Then you guys watch here while I go buy diesel."

After he got everything ready, the family helped to carry it much faster than he had done before.

Ye Huimei had never been on this boat before, nor had she ever gone out to sea at night. She wandered back and forth in a strange way, "Third brother, your boat is so big."

"What's big? It's only a dozen meters. When your third brother builds a thirty-forty-meter high-rise boat, it will be called a big boat. Then I will take you to the far sea to see everything."

"Bragging, you don't want me to get on this boat at night, but you can still take me on a long sea trip? You know how to coax people."

"That's right, women can't get on the ship. I almost forgot about it."

"Why can't women come on board?"

"It's not that you can't get on the boat, it's that you can't run far away. You're a little girl. Don't ask so many questions, and don't be curious. If you have any questions in the future, ask your brother Guangzi."

Taking a woman to the far sea... Could it be that she is tired of living and doesn't want to come back alive?

Think about it, the ocean is vast, and a group of men can drift on the sea for several months. If there is a woman on the boat...

When we got off the ship, we didn't know whose child it was, so it was still fine. It was more likely that it would directly cause a bloody accident and the whole ship would be destroyed.

Ye Huimei hummed twice and stopped asking.

Mother Ye was cooking noodles for everyone. She also brought noodles and vegetables. It took a long time to cook them before they boiled. Although it took a little effort, it was still very comfortable to have a mouthful of hot noodle soup on a cold day. It was also quite comfortable for the whole family to gather around the stove. Atmosphere.

"It feels like eating hot pot, haha~" Ye Huimei was a little fresh and excited.

Ye Yaodong also smiled, "We will order seafood at noon, and we will have hot pot on the island."

"Haha, I forgot to go to the backyard to pull some wormwood this morning. Hotpot with wormwood is delicious..."

"Did I ask you to come to the picnic?"

"The third brother said that I want to cook hot pot..."

The whole family talked to each other, laughed and laughed, finished the first meal of the day, and then started to work.

Ye’s mother helped chop the fish, Ye’s father hung the fish bait, and Ye Huimei also helped hang the shrimp bait.

By the time Ye Yaodong sailed the boat to the waters around the island where he had returned last time, they had already hung ten baskets of hooks full of bait. The greater the number of people, the better the efficiency!

He was worried about leaving his mother and sister on the island for a long time, so he planned to just put a longline in the deeper sea nearby, put a sticky net, and drag the net before setting them down.

When the time comes, we will finish fishing and see how the harvest is. If the harvest is average, we will simply stop trawling and accompany them on the island to search and dig.

Ye Huimei watched with interest as her third brother skillfully threw the hooks into the sea one by one. After throwing one basket, he connected the line of the other basket and continued to throw...

"Third brother, why did you suddenly become enlightened?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways, "If you don't understand, you can support me!"

"Tch, that's a nice thought. How can I marry a girl to accompany my brother-in-law?"

"Someone is here to support my younger brother!"

"What's that?"

"There are many crazy people in the village named Zhaodi, Laidi, Pandi, Yingdi, Aidi, etc. to help my younger brother. Bao Buqi has been brainwashed since he was a child..."

"Damn..." Ye Huimei couldn't help but tremble, "Fortunately, I don't have a younger brother, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to bear such a name."

"Hahaha~ Then you have to thank my mother for your success!"

Mother Ye couldn't help but give him a look, and couldn't help but laugh, "What are you talking about? I really couldn't give birth to a son, so I had no other choice, so I chose these names."

"Then if you can't give birth to a son, what does it have to do with your daughter? You choose such names because you're afraid that others won't know that your family is crazy about wanting a son."

"It's not because the old man wants a son. Having more sons makes it easier to work."

"Fortunately, the policy now only allows one child to be born." Ye Huimei trembled when she thought about it. There was a woman in their village who gave birth to seven daughters in a row, all named Hedi, and she only hoped for a son after the eighth.

"There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. If you want a son, you can always find a way to continue having children." Ye Yaodong threw the last buoy down and clapped his hands, "Okay, Dad, you can speed up and change the place to put the sticky net. "

"Aguang's family doesn't have a mother-in-law, which is quite good. My father-in-law wouldn't even talk to his daughter-in-law about having a baby." The more Ye Mu thought about it, the more she felt that this marriage was a good one.

Ye Huimei was a little shy and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

After Ye Yaodong finished laying all the sticky nets, they drove the boat to the nearby island. It was not light yet and it was still dark, but Father Ye felt something was wrong with the light of the flashlight.

"Dongzi, did you drive in the wrong position? Why do I see there seem to be two islands near here?" He shined the flashlight back and forth.

Ye Yaodong also stood up after hearing this, holding a headlamp and carefully illuminating the surrounding sea, only to find that there seemed to be two islands not far away, one higher and one lower. They saw the same scenery when they came back. Something is different.

"Look at the compass. It doesn't seem like you're driving in the wrong direction, right?"

"It looks right!"

"Let's stop at a larger island and take a look. Don't go ashore. It seems to be getting bright soon. When it gets bright, let's take a look at the situation first. It's night and the flashlight can't illuminate clearly."

"Okay, okay. Let's stop and wait for daybreak to take a look. It won't be long before we arrive."

Mother Ye was a little confused, "You have been sailing for so long, how can you sail the wrong boat?"

"It's usually not wrong. Have a sip of hot tea and wait for ten minutes to take a look. It's going to be dawn soon. Once it's dawn, take a look at the terrain. If there's no problem, go to the island."

It's almost five o'clock in the morning, when the water level is at its highest, and 12 noon and 12 o'clock at night are the lowest.

The tide will begin to ebb around 6 o'clock in the morning, reach the bottom at 12 o'clock, and then slowly start to rise again between 1 and 2 o'clock. At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the tide will reach its peak.

After Father Ye docked the boat, he took a special look at the island and found that the surrounding reefs were indeed somewhat different. Did he feel that the rocks were a little higher? Could it be that the location where he stopped was different from last time?

Forget it, let’s wait and see when it gets brighter.

The family had nothing to do on the boat except chopping fish and organizing tools. Ye Yaodong told Ye Huimei to wear gloves, otherwise they would be easily scratched.

"Don't climb up or down, just stand underneath and dig where you can reach it, you know?"

"I know, I have experience, don't worry."

"You have so much experience. Once you go there, you have experience. Keep your hat on."

Ye Huimei nodded playfully.

At this time, the horizon in the distance was already a little bright, and then suddenly a few exclamations sounded!

"Ah~ Hey, you?"

"Fuck~what is that?"

"Ah~ so beautiful~"

"young?"

The first two sentences are from Ye's father and Ye Yaodong, and the last two sentences are from Ye Huimei and Ye's mother.

"Look~it's so beautiful! The sunrise on the sea is so beautiful~"

After only a short while, the sun popped out of the water, and suddenly the golden light shone on the sea surface, dispelling the darkness.

Mother Ye nodded, "It's quite beautiful."

Ye Yaodong ignored them and said to his father: "Damn it, Dad, look at that dark island. Why does it look weird to me? Is it because the reef was pushed up?"

"You think so too?"

"You think so too?"

Father and son have the same idea!

"Damn it, could it really be that the underwater reef was pushed up?"

"Send the boat over and have a look!"

Ye Yaodong was a little excited, "Right away!"

If the underwater reef is pushed up, there may be something good.

"Dad, third brother, what will happen if the underwater reef is pushed up?"

"No, it can reduce the chance of fishing boats running aground on the bottom of the sea. Let's go and take a look first."

I didn’t see anyone and I didn’t know what was around. It was true that the reef was built up to prevent fishing boats from running aground.

Ye Yaodong pushed the fishing boat away from the shore, started the machine and sailed towards the unidentified black reef island that was raised not far away.

At this time, the sun has completely jumped out from the horizon, and the sun that has just risen looks particularly golden and beautiful.

The fishing boat drove towards the right side of the rising sun, and soon approached the small reef island.

"Damn it, the reef on the bottom of the sea has really been pushed up. It's pitch black, with no vegetation at all except seaweed."

"If you drive closer and look, there seems to be something swimming under the water."

Although Father Ye is a bit old, his eyesight is very good. From a distance, he can see the splash of water under the water over there.

Ye Yaodong also had good eyesight. He also saw small splashes of water splashing around him, and there seemed to be a lot of shells on the rocks. I suddenly felt happy. I really did the right thing to bring his mother out today, otherwise I would have missed this hidden reef that was pushed up.

Don’t know what’s on it?

As the fishing boat got closer and closer, the four people on board all stared at the reef in disbelief.

"Wow, there are so many conchs!" Ye Huimei's eyes widened and her mouth opened.

"Not just the conch, look carefully at the sea water

"lobster?"

"It's the little green dragon!" Ye Yaodong's face was full of surprise, "Also, look at the densely packed stone walls..."

"abalone!"
