Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 458: Stay steady, we can win

"How come you guys forgot the time after going down there? You haven't come back for such a long time, your mother and I are eager to go down and take a look."

Seeing Fu Wan and others come back, Jiang Chunlan also started muttering.

The two old sisters cleaned the deck and rinsed the squid and cuttlefish. After they were busy, they found that the person who went out had not returned yet.

"Auntie, we forgot about catching coconut crabs."

Fu Wan replied with a smile, and Jiang Chunlan's attention was immediately diverted. She walked forward to look at the coconut crab that Fu Ming and Fu Liang had thrown on the deck.

"Oh my goodness, it really is a coconut crab! Tell me, how can a crab that feeds on coconut meat grow so big... Oh my god!

Where did this snake come from?!"

Jiang Chunlan was so frightened by the dead snake on the harpoon in Fu Liang's hand that she stepped back repeatedly. Seeing this, Fu Liang quickly took the snake aside.

"Mom, he's dead, don't be afraid!"

Ye Xiaocui was also startled. Only when she heard that it was a dead snake did she walk forward.

"How come you guys hit the snake? It didn't hurt you, did it?"

Facing the old mother's concern, Fu Wan and Fu Ming quickly shook their heads and said, "No, how big is this snake? There are five of us, how can we not handle a snake?"

"Mom, do you know what kind of snake this is?"

Ye Xiaocui picked up the harpoon and looked carefully at the snake, then shook her head.

"I don't know him either. Someone will definitely know him when we get back to the dock."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Fu's shout came from the side of the boat.

"Someone come and help take these things back!"

Fu Wan then exclaimed, "I was so busy chatting that I forgot to put away the octopus trap!"

"Why are you waiting for me to clean up? Your aunt and I just cleaned up everything. The octopus is still in the bucket!"

Ye Xiaocui hurriedly shouted to Fu Wan to stop working. Seeing this, Fu Wan walked to the bucket, lifted the fish basket covering it, and saw two buckets full of octopuses.

There are some with long legs and some with short legs, but there is not a drop of water in them, they are all raw octopus.

Although it looked sticky and black, Fu Wan was also very happy when she thought about blanching or steaming the octopus. Super delicious octopus. This is the one that the netizen blanched. Mine is not there yet. "Mom, did you catch so many octopuses today?"

In the past, it was only about one bucket each time, but today it was twice as much.

When talking about this, Ye Xiaocui was beaming with joy.

"That's right. Just now, your aunt and I took out one by one. Almost every bamboo tube had something in it. There were even a few bamboo tubes that had two or three octopuses in them."

It seems that since I last visited for a week, there are a lot more octopuses in this area.

"Look, my ground traps and crab pots have yielded a lot of rewards!"

Boss Fu took over the conversation. Fu Wan hadn't seen his bucket of fish just now, but when she looked at it now, she saw that it was also full of fish.

In addition to sea bream and grouper, there are even a few moray eels that open their mouths and want to attack people from time to time.

Looking at Ye Lin's bucket, it was filled with red crabs and small stone crabs, which were waving their claws and making crackling sounds.

Of course, there are also quite a few conches.

"Wow, that's great! I'll go get the fish basket to get these crabs out. Don't let them suffocate when you come back."

Seeing this, Fu Liang picked up the bucket of crabs and rushed to find the fish basket.

Seeing that Boss Fu had already reeled in the anchor rope, Fu Ming went to find the crank and started the diesel engine again.

"Dad, you all take a break. I'm going to drive the boat."

It was almost four o'clock at this time. If we went back now, we would arrive at the pier at five or six o'clock.

"Okay, then go ahead!"

Boss Fu naturally had no objection. He and Fu Liang had been driving for quite some time, so it was Fu Ming's turn.

However, after everyone had put away the harvest on the deck, Fu Wan suddenly felt a few drops of water falling on her face.

"Strange, where does the water come from?"

She subconsciously touched her face with her hand and found that it was indeed water.

"Oh no, the weather is changing, and the wind and waves are coming."

Boss Fu glanced at the sky casually at first, but the next moment he stood up with a serious expression.

"It's probably going to rain. I'm going to take Amin off. He can't drive this boat."

After saying that, he rushed to the cockpit.

Upon hearing this, Fu Wan looked up at the sky. She didn't know when it started, but the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon and stars had long disappeared.

That’s strange, could there be something wrong with the weather forecast?

There was no time to worry about these things. The wind and waves on the sea were getting stronger and stronger, and the fishing boat that had been sailing steadily was now shaking.

At the same time, the rain falling on the deck suddenly became heavier. For a while, everyone hid under the baffle next to the cabin, and no one spoke for a long time.

"What the hell is this weather forecast? It said the weather would be good, but now it's blowing hard and raining!"

Fu Ming couldn't help but curse under his breath, but everyone knew that the weather at sea was constantly changing and sometimes the weather forecast was not necessarily accurate.

What's more, the country's satellite system is still being improved at this time, so it is already very good to be able to update the weather forecast in time.

"It's okay, let's not panic, everything will be fine once the storm passes."

Fu Wan whispered to comfort him. Now Boss Fu was busy in the cockpit and sweating profusely.

Because of the strong wind and waves, it was impossible for the boat to sail against the wind and waves to the dock. The only thing he could do now was to control the rudder and try to keep his boat balanced in the constantly surging wind and waves and prevent it from capsizing.

The only thing to be thankful for is that both children were sent to school today and did not go out to sea with us, otherwise they would definitely be scared by such strong winds and waves.

"Look, what is that!"

Ye Lin suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, and Fu Wan and the others looked over.

"Fuck, a dragon sucking water!"

"Oh my god, why is there a dragon sucking water?!"

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan immediately put their hands together and began to chant repeatedly, praying that Mazu would bless them to return safely.

Water dragon is a very normal natural phenomenon. It is actually caused by the strong updraft reaction in the atmosphere that causes a tornado to appear above the water surface.

A water dragon typically appears to be connected to a thunderstorm cloud at one end, with the lower end extending directly into the sea, creating the illusion that something is drinking water from the sky. While a water dragon is spectacular, it's best to run away if you encounter one. The airflow spins at such high speeds that if you're caught in it, not only can your ship be instantly shattered, but your life could also be in danger.

So even though Fu Wan kept comforting everyone that the waterspout was still far away from their ship, she was actually praying in her heart that the storm would end soon.

Boss Fu in the cockpit also saw the situation in the distance. He frowned and tried his best to stabilize the boat, then his brain worked rapidly, trying to figure out how to steer the boat as far away from the area where the dragon was sucking water as possible.

"Wait, is the wind much weaker?"

This went on for more than five or six minutes. Fu Wan suddenly felt that the boat was shaking less vigorously. Looking at the sea, the waves were not as high as before.

"Yes, the wind and waves have died down. Look, only half of the waterspout is left!"
