1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 123 The Green-Scaled Fish is Here Too
On Li Liang's boat, Deng Zhaocai saw more and more needlefish at first, and he grinned foolishly, thinking he had made a lot of money.

As a result, because he was holding a flashlight in his hand, he also became one of the central points of the light source, and was instantly given an injection by the enthusiastic "fish nurse".

"Fuck! My mother..."

Deng Zhaocai's hand trembled, the flashlight fell to the ground, and his voice became strange.

Who the hell would understand that he was a rough, unpolished guy who was usually fearless, but was most afraid of the long needles in the hands of the nurses at the town clinic?
Others would cry when they saw a needle when they were a few years old, but Deng Zhaocai is already in his early twenties, and still gets scared and turns blue when he sees a needle. When he gets more serious, he even cries!
Damn, a big and strong man was pricked by a needle and was crying and sobbing as if he was possessed by Lin Daiyu. Can you imagine this scene?
Li Liang heard him howling non-stop and rolled his eyes: "Are you still okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Deng Zhaocai was stubborn for a moment, and then said the next second, "Why don't we run away with Brother Qiang? There are other fish to catch anyway. I'm afraid this needle fish will jump up and break your boat light!"

"What the hell!" Li Liang was convinced by this excuse. "I am a wimp, so what? Don't talk about the boat light! Even if the needle fish is fierce, it can't pierce the boat light!"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Liang himself was pricked on the calf. This is nothing.

With a "pop", a ship light on the right side of the ship was actually pierced and smashed by two needlefish...

I really underestimated this needle fish. Although it was small, it was armed with guns, a typical example of "armored and armed". Its enthusiasm for embracing the light was even more underestimated.

Li Liang obviously didn't expect this to happen. A good night fishing trip was ruined by a large wave of needlefish.

It's not that he had no experience in night fishing. He had used boat lights to lure fish several times before.

At most, we have encountered things like saury jumping around all over the boat. It was the first time tonight that we encountered something like needlefish that came to mess things up in the middle of the night.

After suffering the loss of a ship lamp, Li Liang finally realized why Liang Ziqiang ran away so decisively and quickly.

They were taking precautions in advance, as they had long anticipated that the ship's lights might become the target of attack!
Li Liang was a little slow, and in the blink of an eye, he heard another "pop" sound. The portside light was pierced again...

If he delayed any longer, all the lights on his boat would be destroyed by the stingrays, and his boat would be completely blind. That would be a genuine "night fishing".

At the moment, the only reason it was able to survive was because of the special location of the cabin light, which prevented the needlefish from attacking.

But this also meant that his boat was sailing with only one light on, and the whole boat was like a "one-eyed dragon", in a very embarrassed state, as it sailed away from the encirclement of the Zhenliang fish.

Zhong Kang and Zhong Ming, who were standing by, were wiser than him. They followed Liang Ziqiang and fled on the boat.

The three ships finally arrived at the target area one after another - the sea near Guanqi Island.

By this time, the boat had basically come to a standstill and the needlefish had disappeared, so they decided to turn on the lights and lure the fish again.

A lot of fish can be caught in the area near Guanqi Island during the day, and it is estimated that a lot of phototactic fish can be lured out at night.

As long as it's not a crazy needle fish, they can accept any other fish.

The boat had just arrived, and the water was still deserted. After the excitement just now, they felt a little lost in the silence.

I feel like an unmarried girl waiting for her lover: afraid that he won't come, and even more afraid that he will mess around.

Zhong Yongrui's family was relatively well-off, and his eldest son, Zhong Kang, even had a watch. At this moment, Zhong Kang looked at his watch:

"It's just past ten o'clock. If the thieves come to steal the fish, it will be around four or five o'clock in the morning, so there are still four or five hours. These few hours are enough for us to catch fish for a while. According to Aqiang's plan, it won't be too late for us to drive to the island and hide at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night!"

Zhong Ming looked towards Li Liang's boat and asked Deng Zhaocai:

"Why do I hear Ah Cai crying in front of me? Ah Cai, you are not crying because you got pricked by a needle fish?!"

There was a moment of dead silence on Ah Cai's side. Liang Ziqiang watched and thought, could this be the famous scene of "social death" in later generations?

Ah Cai finally resisted the urge to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and temporarily adjusted his thickness:

"Zhong Ming, what are you talking about with your ears? Did the Zhen Liangyu stir you up and cause you to have tinnitus?"

Everyone knew what was going on, and they burst into sarcastic laughter, and temporarily let Ah Cai go.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. We've been docked here for a while. I'm going to check the side of the boat to see if there are any more fish coming!" Deng Zhaocai changed the subject and ran to the side of the boat to check the situation.

"Why are there only a few fish after such a long time?" Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai wondered at the same time.

Almost at the same time, Liang Ziqiang and Zhong Kang shouted excitedly:

"Damn, there are more and more fish, no less than the ones we caught on the road before!"

Zhong Ming sighed, "It's easier to catch fish here than during the day. Is it because there are usually few people fishing at night in our village?"

Zhong Kang seemed to want to wait until the fish were more crowded before taking action. He answered Zhong Mingdao:
"It may have something to do with this. Some fish don't like to move much during the day and prefer to come out at night. Few people fish at night, so the amount of these fish is always there!"

Zhong Ming added: "If I had known earlier, why would I have to work so hard to fish in the daytime? Wouldn't it be better to fish at night every day?"

Zhong Kang disagreed: "Who can stand night hunting every day? You can bear it, but I can't!"

Liang Zifeng was also lying on the side of the boat looking into the water, but even with the help of the sidelight he still couldn't see clearly:

"What kind of fish is this? It's different from the ones we caught before. It turns out there are a lot of fish that like lights at night!"

"That's right. In the ocean around here, there are at least a dozen or twenty species of fish that are attracted to light!" Liang Ziqiang had already put the fishing net on the side of the boat.

When all these high-sounding talks reached Li Liang, both of them were very mad:
"Why do you all say there are a lot of fish, but I don't have anything here, just two or three small fish hanging around?"

Liang Ziqiang glanced in their direction and said something to wake them up:

"Are you two sleepwalking? There's not even a sidelight, and the fish are not blind, so why would they run to your dark and gloomy boat?!"

Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai both choked. At least they still had a cabin light, and later they turned on the mast light, but they still couldn't catch the eyes of the fish. They were blatantly rejected?
"Um, Brother Qiang, let me tell you something..."

When Li Liang saw that something was not right, he made small talk and drove his boat over happily.

When they got closer, Li Liang could see clearly that the area around Liang Ziqiang's boat was densely populated with fish.

This time it was not the fat eyed herring, nor the spotted mullet, nor the needlefish that came to ruin the night.

It seems that they are all green-scaled fish!
"Brother Qiang, how can you catch all these blue-scaled fish? I'm worried about you. We are brothers, so I'll help you share the burden." Li Liang was already rubbing his hands with envy.

Liang Ziqiang was just throwing his fishing net into a school of blue-scaled fish, waving his hand as if to shoo away flies:
"Fuck you, can you please get away from me? You can even catch all the fish in my net!"

Li Liang is like a dog-skin plaster, which has finally been applied, how can it be removed?
"It doesn't matter. I'll just borrow your light. It's not a big problem!"

Liang Ziqiang glared at him. What should we call Li Liang's behavior?

To take advantage of the popularity? Or to take advantage of the traffic?
Although he said a few words to curry favor with Li Liang, he was actually very happy to help him. After all, they were now working together to arrest thieves and kill criminals. They were definitely in the same boat.

Liang Ziqiang quickly collected the net, which was almost entirely filled with blue-scaled fish. Poured into the cabin, it was estimated to weigh about 70 to 80 kilograms!
It is obviously incomparable to the scale of the shoals of capelin encountered during the day, but as a night fishing, under the premise that the fish luring equipment is so simple and elementary, being able to catch such a large amount in one net is already very impressive!
After collecting the net, he simply gave this patch of fish to Li Liang:

"Annoying! You can catch the remaining fish however you like! Don't say I didn't warn you, don't dawdle, hurry up and catch more before the fish run away. If you don't catch any fish for a while, don't come to me again to ask for help!"

Li Liang was excited when he heard it:

"Brother Qiang is indeed Brother Qiang! Thank you!"

Liang Ziqiang was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and moved the boat forward.

Anyway, his sidelight was always on, so even if he gave up this area, he would not have to worry about not having any fish to catch.

As long as we move forward a little, a large number of fish will probably follow the light and catch up, and we can just continue to kill them...
