My deep sea fishery

Chapter 41 Sea Snake

"Second brother." Xiang Hui hesitated for a long time before saying: "Since the three seafood purchasers in the town are not that easy to provoke, should we discuss with them?"

"What to discuss? Divide the site?" Xiang Yang smiled and looked at Xiang Hui, "Do you think this kind of thing can be explained in a few words? They won't believe that I will only do business in Yanlong Village, nor will they give up on me. The catch of Yanlong Village will be jealous of the catch of my fishing boat. Now that I have been recruited, it must have come with the idea of ​​fighting with me. What can I do? See the trick Hire."

"You do a good job in your acquisition business. If you really have business talents, I will discuss with your uncle and send you outside to help me develop the market." Xiang Yang said.

Xiang Hui's eyes lit up, "Send me outside?"

Xiang Yang looked out the window and smiled when he saw many fishermen walking towards the sea with buckets. "The villagers are all driving to the sea. It seems that the sea is low tide. We also went to the beach to try our luck. ?"

Xiang Hui didn't follow him, and he still asked Xiang Yang, "Second brother, first tell me about sending me outside to help you open up the market."

"I just have this idea if you ask me about it. I don't know how to answer you." Xiang Yang took out two buckets from under his bed and poured the shells inside. "Go, let's also Go to the sea."

Seeing what Xiang Yang said, Xiang Hui took a bucket unwillingly and walked towards the beach behind Xiang Yang.

Riding the sea is a great pleasure for seaside residents.

When the sea is low tide, many marine life will be stranded on the beach. At this time, the residents living on the beach, whether they are fishermen or not, will carry buckets to the beach to pick up stranded fishes. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch a few crabs. Even lobster or something.

Although a lot of marine life will be stranded every time the sea is low tide, because there are more people going to the sea, so every time you go to the sea, you can't make a lot of money.At most, I can only add a dish to my dinner table on the day when I rush to the sea, but the residents of the seaside will still run to the beach every time the sea is low tide.

Because chasing the sea is a rare recreational activity for the villagers by the sea, the villagers will use this to draw each other's feelings closer, and sometimes even hold a small competition, than who picks more seafood.

When Xiang Yang and Xiang Hui went to the beach, many fishermen had been searching the beach carefully for a while.

"Shall we split up?" Xiang Hui asked.

"Yes." Xiang Yang knew that Xiang Hui was not interested in chasing the sea, so he definitely wanted to find a place to be lazy but didn't say anything.

"Xiaoyang, have you come to catch the sea too?"

"Brother Yang, are you here too?"

The villagers on the beach saw Xiang Yang walking to the beach with a bucket, and immediately greeted Xiang Yang enthusiastically.

"Come and play." Xiang Yang was also very polite. He smiled and talked with the villagers for a while before walking alone with the bucket in the direction of the reef that emerged from the sea after the low tide. These places usually have large conch, portunus and the like. Of sea cargo, sometimes you can see stranded fish.

Xiang Yang's choice was indeed correct. As soon as he got down to the reef, Xiang Yang found traces of marine life.

But when he discovered this creature, a cold sweat broke out on Xiang Yang's forehead.

"Sea snake?" I saw a colorful, long body of marine creature curled under the reef, most of its body got under the reef, leaving only a very small part outside the reef.

There is no sea snake that is not poisonous. Xiang Yang didn't dare to act rashly, but he never thought about letting the sea snake go.

Although the sea snake is not as aggressive as the venomous snake on the land, as long as it does not provoke it, it will generally not actively attack humans. However, once a person is bitten by a sea snake, the onset of toxicity is as fast as a few minutes or as slow as three hours. It will be transmitted throughout the body through the blood, and there is no cure at all.Killing sea snakes is almost every fisherman's duty and responsibility.

Xiang Yang's heart was a bit bitter. Although this sea snake ran aground, most of its body was still soaked in the seawater under the reef. It was not so easy to kill.

Sea snakes in the water and not in the water are not a creature at all. The sea snakes in the sea hardly have any natural enemies. Not many predators will prey without opening their eyes. This kind of cold-blooded swimming on the seabed like a lightning bolt Killer.

Sea snakes leaving the sea have almost no defense capabilities. Almost any creature can easily kill them. In particular, some birds often prey on sea snakes that come ashore during the breeding season of sea snakes.

"We don't have sea snakes here. Where did this sea snake emerge from?" Qinglongwan is located in a remote location, with clear waters, luxuriant water plants, and a lot of birds. There is no sea snake in this environment. The soil sac for survival and reproduction, so it is rare in the Qinglong Bend Sea Snake Sea Snake.

Xiang Yang grabbed a rock and smashed it towards the sea snake.

At this time, other fishermen noticed Xiang Yang's movements, and when he looked in the direction where Xiang Yang was about to throw a stone, he also found the sea snake.

"Xiao Yang, don't smash it." A villager called Xiang Yang immediately.

Xiang Yang hesitated for a while, and finally put the stone down.

The villager immediately ran over happily, "How can the sea snake be killed? Watch me catch this sea snake."

"Be careful, don't be bitten by it." Xiang Yang smiled and stepped aside. Sea snake is actually a kind of extremely precious seafood. Its venom is a medicine that is more expensive than gold, and its meat is exceptionally delicious. Snake gall is made with ginseng. Comparable to the big tonic, snake bones can be soaked in wine, snake skin can be used for beauty after eating it, and because sea snakes are extremely difficult to capture, its value has been increased again invisibly.

Xiang Yang was unwilling to take the risk of catching sea snakes, but other villagers in Qinglongwan could not withstand this temptation.

That fisherman dared to catch sea snakes obviously had some means.

He jumped to the bottom of the reef, bent down and grabbed the part of the sea snake exposed outside the reef, but before he got close, he retracted his hand and continued to reach out, repeating these two continuously. action.

The sea snake felt the danger, the small part of its neck came out from under the reef, and the neck was lifted. The triangular head opened and the snake vomited. Although there were few teeth in the mouth, the upper jaw shone with two cold fangs. Looks extremely hideous,

When Xiang Yang saw this, he knew that the sea snake could not escape the palm of the fisherman.

If the sea snake doesn't lift its neck, the fisherman may still throw a rat trap, worrying that he will be bitten by the sea snake.

But now that the sea snake moves slowly away from the sea, and its fangs are exposed to the fishermen's sight, how can it still bite the fishermen?

Sure enough, the next moment Xiang Yang saw the fisherman grabbed the sea snake's head and lifted the sea snake from under the reef.

"Yes, it weighs three or four catties. This sea snake can sell for thousands of dollars, Xiao Yang, you found this sea snake. If you sell it back, I will divide you half." The fisherman raised his head and grinned at Xiang Yang.

"Sell it to me. I sell it at a higher price than you. When I sell it, we will divide the money in half." Xiang Yang did not reject the villagers' kindness. Strictly speaking, the sea snake originally belonged to Xiang Yang. Killing toxins will not spread to the whole body, and meat can be eaten.This sea snake Xiang Yang originally wanted to get home to eat for himself, but the villager took advantage of Xiang Yang's half.
