Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 14 How wonderful the underwater world is

The place where Wang Tianhui entered the water was not far from the shore, and it was the area where the fishermen in the village often went about their activities.

The Fisherman's Village is remote and backward, without tourism and without factories. Although it is poor and backward, it has the unrivaled original ecological marine environment of those developed coastal cities.

The sea water here is extremely clear, as long as the light is sufficient, the visibility is extremely high.

Due to years of overfishing, there is indeed a lot less seafood in shallow waters.

The depth of the net can be reached, and the density of fish is extremely low. Occasionally, a few small fish weighing a few kilograms swim by, and when they see Wang Tianhui, they run away as if they have seen a ghost.

There are only jellyfish floating aimlessly with the ocean currents. This thing is big and full of water. It is troublesome to handle. If you don’t get it right away, it will quickly turn into a puddle of water. If you can only get out of the water, clean it up and divide it immediately. Soak it with salt, and then sell it when the seafood dealers come. The price is very low, and the fishermen will eat it at home when they catch it.

As we continued to swim deeper, the number of fish gradually increased, but the species were still very limited, and they were all relatively cheap fish.

The current depth is almost 12 or 3 meters.

It is difficult for ordinary people to dive about 5 meters without using auxiliary tools.

Wang Tianhui has water-repelling beads on his body, which can ignore factors such as water pressure, low temperature, and oxygen. Naturally, there is no problem here, and he can still swim freely like a fish without any hindrance.

The sun shines through the sea and casts colorful light and shadows on the gully-criss coral reefs. Groups of clownfish and butterflyfish shuttle back and forth among the coral crevices, as if playing hide-and-seek.

After careful observation, he found many common seafood, but the density, variety, and size are much better than those in the previous place. If veteran fishermen come here, they will definitely make a lot of money.

"That's right, let's look a little farther away..."

Wang Tianhui continued to swim deeper and farther, his speed was very fast, with snow-white splashes behind him, he shuttled through the water like a swordfish.

When he reached a depth of 30 meters, marine life really increased.

The coral reefs in the depths have a long history, like magnificent underwater forests, colorful and unpredictable.

The fluctuation of the current disturbed many marine creatures hidden in the coral reef. They were frightened and ran out with a huff.

Palm-sized gold and silver pomfret, hairtail with metallic luster that eats each other when excited, golden yellow croaker, and molluscs such as squid and squid that change color when frightened, these are all rare and expensive sea fish. .

There are also cute seahorses that jump up and down, although they are not tasty, but they can be used as medicine. They look strange, and I think children will like them very much.

Wang Tianhui caught a few golden pomfrets at random, as well as a few squids and squids, and picked up a few big ones from the shells everywhere on the bottom of the sea.

At this time, he found a gray japonicus in the seaweed. It was not young, nearly 40 centimeters long, and its whole body was brown. It hid in the seaweed like a big fleshy worm covered in thorns. Only when can it be revealed.

"That's a good thing!"

The scientific name of gray sea cucumber is imitation sea cucumber, which is called gray sea cucumber or sea cucumber for short, and it is also called sea rat in some places. This guy is not only big in size, but also has thick and waxy walls. It is the best quality sea cucumber common in coastal areas.

Most of the live sea cucumbers on the market are farmed, costing about 50 yuan per catty, wild ones are more precious, and can only be collected manually, and the price is more than [-] yuan. Good quality gray sea cucumbers like this can be sold for [-] yuan per catty. More than one hundred yuan.

Wang Tianhui swam over and grabbed the gray japonicus, which made it shrink back and spit out a puff of green smoke. This is a relatively low-level defense method of the sea cucumber, which is to spray the internal organs of the enemy, which is pitiful and funny.

I searched for a few sea cucumbers in the seaweed bushes. There are quite a few varieties of sea cucumbers here, including plum ginseng, white jade ginseng, green sea cucumber, etc. If you search carefully, you should get a lot of them at once.

There are a lot of abalones sucking on the rocks, big and small, densely packed, it should be very uncomfortable for people with trypophobia.

But Wang Tianhui looked at it and felt a beauty in his heart.

These abalones have been in this place for some years, and some of them are already very large.

Holding a small shovel, Wang Tianhui searched around the rocks, and indeed found a huge abalone in the crevices, which was as big as a palm, and the thick shell was covered with seaweed, which was hard to spot without looking carefully.

It is said that double-headed abalones are hard to buy with a thousand dollars, but what he has discovered now is much more than double-headed abalones.

Such a big abalone is really rare, and the market price is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of catties, and this one can be sold for a lot of money. .

Wang Tianhui was not greedy, he found a dozen of the largest abalones, and stopped digging.

The seafood below 30 meters deep is beyond Wang Tianhui's imagination. Even if he does nothing, just catching these seafood will definitely not worry about food and clothing in the future.

If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money by getting a few precious varieties. This kind of life is so comfortable, only fools go to the city to serve those troublesome leaders.

It's just that the water-avoiding beads only have a half-hour time limit every day. If you want to spend more time in the sea, you need to get some equipment.

If I had known that there are such rich seafood in this sea, my father would not have given up fishing and become a boatman. He endured hardships and did not earn much, and my mother was still worried at home all day long.

After all, I blame myself for being a worthless son and making my parents suffer.

In the days to come, if parents want to mention their son in front of others, they must be full of pride.

Just as he was about to float up, he suddenly saw a dense mass of darkness in the trench in front of him, countless small black spots moving forward with the tide, and when he looked closely, they were all crabs!
Swimming crabs the size of a palm were all crowded together. If the one in front ran slowly, it would be trampled by the ones coming up from behind. Countless swimming crabs crowded together and rolled over like a tide.

"Is this the migration of swimming crabs?!"

He had only seen such a spectacular scene in nature documentaries on TV before, but he never expected to see it with his own eyes in his lifetime. There may be tens of thousands of these swimming crabs.

From Wang Tianhui's point of view, this is not a crab that is exhausted, it is clearly money coming in, he only regrets that he does not have a big boat now, so that he can catch them all in one go.

Wang Tianhui plunged into the trench, picking up crabs like picking up dates in the yard, and soon the net bag was full.

These swimming crabs were not afraid of people at all, they fled away from Wang Tianhui in a hurry, and some even got into his net pocket by themselves.

Are they... running for their lives?
