Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

v1 Chapter 285: King Squid (King Squid)

   Ye Yaopeng backed up several steps immediately after speaking, Ye Yaodong and Ye Yaohua also backed up again and again.

  Before, I saw that it only moved slightly twice, and I thought it had taken in less air and exhaled more, but I didn't expect it to be so vigorous.

   "Are you okay, brother?"

   "It's okay, it's okay, it's just too unexpected, I was unprepared, and one of them lost his footing and almost fell. Fortunately, I wear a thick padded jacket in winter, and it doesn't hurt too much when I hit it."

   "What's the matter?" Mrs. Ye asked worriedly when she saw her man being whipped by the king squid.

   "It's okay, it's not dead yet, so don't come here."

  The three of them backed away a little, and didn't stand too close, in case it wasn't completely dead, and was still dying there.

   Sure enough, they had just retreated a little distance, and its tentacles began to move a few times again, but the arc of the swing was not large, it could be said to have squirmed a few times, and it was not raised high like it just hit Ye Yaopeng.

   "It has injuries on its body, and it will probably die in a while. Wait until it is dead before going forward, otherwise it will be troublesome if you fight back when you are dying."

  The king squid has ten tentacles, two predatory long tentacles with swollen upper ends and powerful suckers, and the sucker rings have sharp teeth, and the other eight tentacles also have long sharp-toothed suckers, which become their powerful predation tools.

   This makes escape once caught, and the sharp, powerful beak tackles helpless prey with terrifying efficiency.

   Legend has it that huge suction cups can tear small ships apart. Fortunately, this one is dying, otherwise they might not be able to take it.

  Ye Yaodong had already seen that it was covered with scars from the moment he got close to it. There were many sucker-shaped wounds, which were very similar in shape to their antennae.

  The biggest natural enemy of king squids is themselves besides sperm whales.

   This is live undigested "Amberis"...

   (The intestines of sperm whales excrete ambergris.)

   This is obviously not caused by oneself, but caused by fighting with the same kind. It can be seen that the "involvement" of the king squid is also very serious. This is obviously lost, so it escaped half dead.

  The three of them circled around it slowly for a while, and it was obvious that its breath of life was weakening and passing away slowly, because it was not moving much.

   "Is it possible to step forward?"

"Together."

  The three of them stood at three corners and tentatively stepped forward.

"If only I had a stick in my hand, let's see if it's alive or dead..." Ye Yaodong just finished speaking, when he saw the tentacles closest to him lift up, which startled him, I thought I was going to hit him.

  Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye also took two steps back in shock.

   Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. It raised its tentacles and let it go down again.

   "Grass, you startled me, are you kidding me?"

   "The vitality is quite strong. After being stranded for so long, it can still move."

   "After all, it's so big, it's normal to have a strong vitality."

  They waited for a while, until it didn't move for a long time, and then stepped forward to kick it tentatively.

   It just wriggled and didn't respond after being stimulated, so everyone was relieved.

   "It should be fine, it's dead, shall we drag it ashore now?"

   "Each person grabs a tentacles and pulls it to see. I don't know how heavy this giant squid is?"

   "Let's see if it can be pulled, otherwise, call the two sister-in-laws to help."

   "Try first."

  Ye Yaodong was wearing gloves on his hands, but he didn't take them off, and there was also a soft and sticky disgusting feeling when the tentacles touched his hands.

  The three of them grabbed one of the tentacles and tried to pull it, but they couldn't pull it.

   "Good guy, this one weighs more than two or three hundred catties."

  Ye Yaodong was so happy that he turned his head to look again, and then immediately hung its long tentacles on his shoulders, "Let's pull hard together."

   Sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Ye saw that each of them was holding a tentacles, and she also knew that this giant squid was dead and there was no danger, so she immediately rolled up her trousers and stepped forward to help.

  Lin Xiuqing knew that she was in a special situation, so she didn't dare to go up and make trouble, but still stood there obediently. When she was waiting with her two sisters-in-law just now, they both picked up a few big clams and put them in their pockets.

  She also picked up a stranded black sea bream. She saw it just now and thought it was not too far away. It would be no use picking it up in the past, so she just took it back and steamed it at night.

  There are actually a few stone crabs crawling around around the feet, but it’s a pity that I didn’t bring anything to pack, and no one cared.

  Many people are powerful, five people work together, each dragging a tentacles, and slowly pulling this tent from the shallow water to the beach.

  Lin Xiuqing also saw this behemoth up close, "Oh my God, it's so big! Its tentacles are thicker than my thighs, it must weigh a few hundred catties?"

Ye Yaodong said excitedly: "Three or four hundred catties should be there. It's too heavy. I'm afraid to drag it. I'm a little worried. If I drag it for too long, I'll tear off its tentacles. What should I do? The value should not be greatly discounted. "

   "Yes, yes, yes, you can't pull the tentacles anymore. If you break a few of the horns, you will suffer heavy losses."

   "Then what should we do? We have to get it ashore, or it will be more difficult to catch when the tide rises later."

   "But such a big one can't lift it..."

   "Otherwise, let's call the tractor directly, let the tractor drive here, and everyone will work together to lift this giant squid onto the tractor? Just send it away?" Ye Yaodong suggested after thinking for a while.

   It happens that few people know about it, so send it away directly, and keep a low profile, otherwise someone in the village will say sour words, saying that he is going to become a ten thousand household or something.

  Brother Ye nodded in agreement, "Okay, anyway, it will be transported to the shore by tractor to sell, so it will save trouble."

   "Where to send it to sell? Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and A Cai will not accept the goods." Speaking of this, the second sister-in-law Ye is a little worried.

   "Send it to Hongsheng, the hotel will definitely be open."

   It just happened to be sold to Hong Wenle, he should be happy to hear about it, he even told him a few days ago that there was something good to send, but it will come soon.

   "Yes, yes, the big hotel must be open for business."

   "Then just call a tractor, and everyone will work together to help move it up, and just send it away, so as not to waste a lot of effort." Ye Yaodong said.

  Everyone had no objections, Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Then you wait here, I'm idle anyway, I'll call for you."

   "Don't go, you can't run, walking slowly is a waste of time. Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, can anyone help me to run? It's faster."

  Seeing that the second sister-in-law Ye remained silent, Mrs. Ye looked a little reluctant to leave, so she volunteered: "I'll go, you wait here first, I'll go and come back quickly."

   "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

   "No trouble, it should be."
