ocean hunter

Chapter 72
It may be that it has not been used for a long time, and it took four or five times in a row before the diesel propeller made an exciting roar.

After several months, the Mei Li set sail again.

Xue Li sat on the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze with her arms open, her hair was blown up, revealing the earrings Lu Xiaolu bought for her.

Under the afternoon sun, Shirley shone like an elf.

On the wharf, the villagers of Yangguang Village looked at the fishing boats going away with complex expressions.

They originally hated Lu Xiaolu very much, thinking that they had robbed their fish, but after being educated by relevant departments, they dared not obstruct it anymore, and they were still very unconvinced in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, this little boy would dare to save people under such a big storm, which greatly changed their outlook.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, there is no one who does not get wet shoes. People who rely on the sea to eat will try their best to rescue those who fall into the water.

After all, no one knows that one day they will encounter difficulties, especially those with children at home, they will care more about these.

There were people from their village that day, and they were overwhelmed by the waves even after thinking about it several times.

Regarding Lu Xiaolu's brave behavior, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't admire Lu Xiaolu's brave behavior.

Not long after, a sea fishing boat larger than the Golden Sailfish stopped at the port, and the villagers looked enviously at the few people who got off the boat.

This is the ship of old Zhu's family, with a rather foreign name, the Don Quixote, which was acquired by his son who is in college.

I have been renting it out to others before, but now I plan to do it myself.

No, today they set up a banquet in the village, and they will have to follow the ceremony later.

It's not the first time it's been in the water, and it's just to make money, it's really shameless, Da Huangya and the others slandered endlessly.

Now the old Zhu's family is also in trouble. Dozens of pigs raised by him have suffered from swine fever and died completely. The only thing left in the family is this boat.

It was originally leased to others. Last month, the person who rented the boat brought up several tunas. Excluding the rental expenses, he earned more than 7 yuan.

So the old Zhu's family became jealous and started to think about it. They wanted to increase the rent, or share it, or they would not rent it.

The price that was originally negotiated, and rented on a quarterly basis, suddenly changed, so the charterer would be happy.

Negotiations failed, and Lao Zhu's family was still unwilling to refund the remaining rent, saying that the boat was worn out and required maintenance fees.

If they didn't agree with each other, the two sides fought on the spot, and finally broke up because of the quarrel. Speaking of which, the two families are still cousins.

But because there is no formal contract, the family can only suffer from this dumb loss.

Although they got back the rest of the rent, they basically had no income for this quarter as they were asked to find a suitable boat to go to sea for a while.

When Lu Xiaolu and Xueli came back from the sea, they were stunned when they saw the big boat, the name was quite foreign.

Shaking their heads and ignoring it, the two took the net and bucket to get the fish onto the tricycle.

When I first arrived at Butterfly Bay today, I met a school of horsebug fish.

Horsebug fish is small in size and looks like a needle, so it is also called stick fish, frozen needle fish, 17 yuan a catty.

Lu Xiaolv would definitely not like the horse-buying school of fish, but the appearance of these guys will often attract predators to follow, and those big guys are his targets.

A large group of horsebugs fled frantically on the bottom of the sea, covering the sky and the sun, with countless carnivorous fish behind them chasing and killing them, such as bass, grouper, salmon, blue shark, small white shark and so on.

They would never die when they met before, but now they can let go of their prejudices and work together to round up the school of horsebug fish, which is very miraculous.

This is cheap for Lu Xiaolu. Five gillnets with a length of 200 meters intercepted the direction of the fish and laid a net of heaven and earth.

The opening of his net is very large, and small horsebugs can rush directly through it, but those predators will be miserable, as once they get stuck in the net, they will not be able to escape.

After the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, the horsebuds become Lu Xiaolu's accomplices, leading the predators into the encirclement.

In addition to the more valuable grouper, sea bass, and salmon, there are also many herrings caught in the school of fish.

These things are not worth much, they are only four yuan a catty, and they are not bad in size. They are just used as bait, so I can save them and buy them.

The strength of these big guys is not small, they dragged the buoy and ran around before they pulled up the net.

After Lu Xiaolu was almost fanned into the sea by a half-meter-long barracuda, he could only wait for these guys to be exhausted from being entangled in the fishing net before pulling the net.

This inevitably caused some losses, some were suffocated to death, and some were gnawed beyond recognition by the carnivorous fish that came later.

Fortunately, the loss was within his acceptable range.

The winch started, and one after another the big ones were dragged onto the fishing boat. Both Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li looked happy, and they couldn't even remove the fish.

The live water tank of this boat is too small, only about one meter long and 30 centimeters deep, and it will be crowded when a few big fish go down.

In the end, Lu Xiaolu had to let go of some worthless herrings and horsebugs with tears in her eyes, because there was no room for them in the cabin. You can only cover it with a fishing net.

This is good, the fish can't escape, the nets are tangled up in a mess, and some are torn, and when they dry up tomorrow, they will have to find someone to mend the nets.

Back at the pier, it took half an hour just to fish from the cabin to the car, and the two of them were exhausted enough with their small bodies.

As soon as the tricycle arrived at the gate of Xiamen University, it immediately caused a sensation.

Since Lu Xiaolu stopped setting up a stall here, it was very difficult for them to buy these fresh and cheap seafood.

After a while, a man and a woman came over with a box in their arms and handed Lu Xiaolu a cigarette, and the girl brought two boxes of wedding candy to Xueli.

Lu Xiaolu took off his gloves to pick up the cigarette, and looked up, wasn't this the couple selling milk tea?

"Are you married?"

With a smirk on his face, the boy replied while passing cigarettes to the people around him, "Well, the wedding was held yesterday."

"congratulations."

"Thank you."

The girl gave out happy candies to the people around her with a happy face. The stall owners nearby were all acquaintances, and they gave a box, and the tourists gathered in front of the booth did not leave behind. There were scattered wedding candies.

After all, there are so many people, it is impossible to give everyone a box.

The stall owners pretended to be angry and said: "Look at you, why didn't you say it earlier, we still want to have a feast."

The young man just smirked: "My fault, my fault, hehe, come to smoke."

It's not that he doesn't want to post invitations, everyone just knows each other, and you have to follow the ceremony when you go, which is a bit bad.

Of course, the stall owners were just out of courtesy, and they would definitely not be happy to let them go to accompany the ceremony.

The young man bought four good-sized groupers, saying that he would entertain relatives and friends at night, and his wife complained: "1500 yuan, how much milk tea do we have to sell!"

Lu Xiaolu is not a stingy person either, so he packed an extra big bass, which is estimated to cost 200 yuan, which should be considered a blessing.

The last time he was engaged, he gave a large eel, and this time he gave him a sea bass. The young man was also a little embarrassed, and secretly stuffed Lu Xiaolu with a bag of Zhonghua.
