Chapter 187 Seeking external assistance for the first time, Wu Shuisheng’s defense was broken!
Chen Hui did not rush to take action. He swam away and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
This place is nice.
A huge reef.
There are many reef caves close to the seabed.
Chen Hui tried it with a long iron pliers. As the reefs overlapped with each other, some of the reef holes were much deeper than the long iron pliers.
Some are filled with tasty little fish, shrimp and shells, but most are empty.
After forcing the big fish out.
The ideal situation is that it swims into the sea, trying to escape from this sea area with speed.
Chen Hui had successful experience in chasing blue snapper with his legs, and was confident that he could catch and hold it.
Worst outcome.
If this big fish quickly dives into other deep and long reef caves around it, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.
After all, we still have to hope to sell it for money, so we can't kill it or disfigure it.
Once a fish of this size settles down in a reef cave, it generally will not move except to eat.
It won't run away anyway.
To be on the safe side, Chen Hui decided to seek external help.
He swam back to the fishing boat and hit it hard with a long pair of pliers.
When the knock was made, many people came out at the same time.
"Chen Hui, did you catch anything?" Huang Xiu Lian asked eagerly.
"It looks like there's nothing there. His hands are empty." He Juanjuan observed Chen Hui.
"What's wrong?" Wu Shuisheng knew that he needed help, so he came over from the other side and asked.
"Uncle! How good are you at swimming? Can you dive?"
Chen Hui looked up.
"What are you asking?!"
Chen Hui, a young man who has just started out, actually questioned himself, an old fisherman?
Wu Shuisheng was too tired to complain.
"That's good! Come down for a moment, I need your help!" Chen Hui waved with a smile.
"Wait me a moment!"
The boat was full of women, who rarely went out to sea and didn't even know the routes.
Wu Shuisheng felt that there was no problem, but he still cautiously went over to lock the door of the cab and put the rubber band tied with the key around his wrist.
"Chen Hui, didn't you say that only two net bags were needed per person?"
"It would be fine if you asked for extra scissors and hemp rope, but why do you need help now?" Huang Xiu Lian teased him with a smile.
"Hahaha, I just boasted once! Now that my boasting is exposed, it's exposed. Sister Xiulian, please stop laughing at me."
"You guys go have some tea and chat first, I'll be back with a big shipment later!"
Chen Hui joked and waved his hand to signal a few people to go in.
Wu Shuisheng was ready. He took off his trousers and shirt, went down the ladder into the water and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Catch the fish, a grouper with a tail as thick as this!" Chen Hui put the thumbs and index fingers of both hands into a circle.
"Is it true? How can it be so big?" Wu Shuisheng expressed doubt.
He had only encountered such a big fish a few times in all his years at sea.
What’s more, it’s grouper.
"Will lying to you do me any good?"
"Let's go, brother! I'll give you half of the money after I sell it!" Chen Hui said, and swam away.
"You have no respect for your elders! Who are you calling your brothers?" Wu Shuisheng complained, and swam deeper and deeper with him.
In general, Wu Shuisheng's swimming ability is worse than Wu Guang's.
If you swim too deep, you can't help but press your ears. After swimming for four or five minutes, you have to swim to the surface to take a breath.
When Wu Shuisheng went upstream to take a breath, Chen Hui would slow down and wait for him. He would go up twice before Chen Hui would go up once.
"You kid! No wonder Wu Guang said you are a great swimmer. You are like a loach in the sea."
Wu Shuisheng felt a little sour after discovering the pattern.
As an old fisherman, I cannot compare with Chen Hui in terms of lung capacity.
"Loaches will die if they enter the sea! If I enter the sea, I will be just like a fish!"
"Okay, it's right down there! I'll take you to see the location first, and then we'll come up and discuss how to get it." Chen Hui pointed at the water and said
Wu Shuisheng nodded and followed Chen Hui into the deep seabed.
Chen Hui swam to the edge of the reef cave and pointed at the fish tail to show Wu Shuisheng.
When Wu Shuisheng saw the section outside the reef cave, his eyes widened.
This fish tail is really as thick as Chen Hui gestured!
Judging from the pattern, it is indeed unique to grouper.
Chen Hui swam to the front of the reef cave and motioned Wu Shuisheng to follow and see.
He took out a long pair of pliers and pointed at the hole in front.
Wu Shuisheng nodded and reached out to take the long pliers from Chen Hui's hand.
Chen Hui pointed at the water surface and asked him if he needed to go up and breathe first.
Wu Shuisheng shook his head and waited at the entrance of the cave, holding the long iron pliers in both hands.
Chen Hui spread out the largest net bag, holding one side of the net bag with his left and right hands, leaving it with a wide opening.
We chose a location that would allow the big fish to come out smoothly while blocking the surrounding reef holes.
He raised his chin towards Wu Shuisheng, signaling him to take action.
Wu Shuisheng nodded, and thrust the long iron pliers hard into the crevice under the reef. Chen Hui's heart skipped a beat as he feared that he might damage the fish's head.
The big fish was startled by the sudden and fierce blow.
The whole fish shrank back, swam quickly out of the reef cave, turned around and prepared to go to another cave.
After keenly sensing the other auras waiting ahead, he reacted quickly and rushed forward, preparing to bypass Wu Shuisheng and swim towards the other side of the reef.
Wu Shuisheng reacted, reached out and grabbed the fish head, his fingers just fitting into the fish's mouth.
After seeing clearly what kind of fish he had caught, he quickly pulled his hand away.
The big fish was startled and paused for a few seconds before it reacted and continued to escape.
Chen Hui took advantage of this time to catch up and grab the lower half of the fish, then threw it back heavily, creating some distance between it and the reef.
Then he pulled open the fishing net tucked under his armpits, scooped the big fish in from the bottom up, and moved the drawstring at the mouth of the net closer.
Looking at the fish still struggling in the net bag, he breathed a sigh of relief, swam to the surface of the sea and laughed happily.
"You're really awesome! Your reaction is even faster than mine!" Wu Shuisheng also swam up and said.
"You are so quick to react. I never thought it would have the guts to rush towards you."
"What kind of fish is this? You clearly caught it just now, why did you let it go again?" Chen Hui asked as he looked at the net bag that was still struggling.
"A giant grouper with long teeth!"
"This fish weighs at least 40 to 50 kilograms. If a fish this big bites hard enough, it might even bite through your finger," said Wu Shuisheng.
"Is this fish valuable? How much can it be sold for at the purchasing point?" Chen Hui asked.
"It's very valuable! I've never sold a giant grouper this big before."
"I remember last year a fishing boat caught a fish weighing more than 30 kilograms, and it was sold for about 100 yuan!"
"You kid, you've made a fortune again!" Wu Shuisheng said happily.
"Ah?! More than 30 kilograms, and only about 100 yuan?" Chen Hui was a little disappointed.
"What do you mean by talent? Is this talent?!"
"We make 40 to 50 yuan per trip, and if we divide it among ourselves, each person gets about 10 yuan, which is already a good profit!!"
Wu Shuisheng’s defense was broken!
