The Crown Princess is busy fishing

After processing the giant grouper, I also cleaned out the remaining small fish from the net.

Lin Yuge frowned slightly as she looked at the somewhat damaged fishing net.

"Zhang Meng, you guys go and get the spare fishing nets."

Uncle Wang, find a few experienced people to properly repair this torn piece.

This fishing net is still usable; we can't waste it.

As Lin Yuge spoke, she squatted down to carefully examine the extent of the damage to the fishing net.

Zhang Meng, along with several strong young men, quickly dragged out a spare fishing net from the bottom of the cabin.

Wang Shunfeng then selected a few elderly fishermen.

They sat around the tattered fishing net and took out their repair tools.

Old Li took out a specially made bone needle and rubbed it on his hair.

Then, by threading on strong hemp thread, they began to skillfully sew up the larger tears.

Older Mr. Chen carefully used small pliers to untangle the tangled network cables.

He also frequently gave instructions to the people around him.

"Open that area up. Yes, we need to clear this area first, so that no debris gets in the way of the repair."

In the short time that followed, Zhang Meng and his team had already unfolded and inspected the spare fishing net.

Lin Yuge looked at the sky, pondering in her heart.

He shouted, "Everyone, give it your all and try to catch another net before dark!"

Everyone responded in unison, and their hands moved even faster.

The net was quickly secured.

"Loosen the trawl net!" Lin Qingzhou gave the order.

Another round of trawling operations has begun.

The enormous trawl net resembled a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

It slowly sank into the water, splashing up layers of white water droplets.

Lin Yuge stood at the gunwale, her eyes fixed on the sea.

The crew members each performed their duties.

Some were adjusting the sails to control the speed and direction of the boat, so that the trawl net could be kept in the optimal fishing position.

Some were closely monitoring the ropes to prevent them from getting tangled or breaking.

As the boat moved slowly forward, the surrounding seawater was stirred up, and some small fish were startled and leaped out of the water.

As the sun gradually set, the sky turned orange-red.

Seeing the considerable commotion on the water behind the boat, Lin Yuge shouted.

"Close the net!" The voice carried far across the vast sea.

Everyone immediately sprang into action, the winch began to turn, and the thick rope was slowly pulled up.

As the net rose higher, the entire school of fish was revealed.

The silvery ribbonfish, the flat pomfret, and various colorful groupers and sea bream.

The crew members looked at their net full of catch with barely suppressed excitement.

"This is truly a treasure trove!"

Old Li exclaimed excitedly, "This one net is equivalent to several days' worth of fishing in the past!"

The other crew members nodded in agreement.

The net was finally pulled onto the boat.

The fish were piled up on the deck, forming a small mountain, jumping and frolicking.

The crew immediately got to work.

Some people were carrying wooden buckets to sort and store the fish, while others were carrying knives to process the fish that were too badly injured.

The air was filled with the smell of fish and the saltiness of the sea.

Lin Yuge was directing everyone.

"Set the grouper and sea bream aside first; those will fetch a better price."

"We'll keep some of the ribbonfish and pomfret to eat, and deal with the rest as soon as possible."

The crew members responded in unison and worked quickly and efficiently.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest.

Suddenly, Qiu Dalang on the lookout tower shouted, "Fisherman's Song, dark clouds are coming from the west!"

The shout was like a bucket of cold water being poured over them, instantly freezing everyone's smiles.

Lin Yuge suddenly looked up at the western sky.

The dark clouds rolled in like giant black waves, with flashes of lightning visible within them.

"Quickly, clean the fish and prepare for the storm!"

Wang Shunfeng's voice was steady and powerful.

After giving the order, he was the first to rush towards the sail.

Together with several crew members, they began securing the sails to prevent the strong winds from tearing them apart.

The others also quickly got to work, tidying up the tools and debris on the deck.

Secure the wooden buckets and tanks containing the fish tightly to prevent them from shifting during the storm.

The once lively deck instantly became tense, with everyone racing against time.

The dark clouds drew closer, and the sea breeze grew increasingly fierce, carrying the chill of the deep ocean.

The waves began to surge, constantly crashing against the hull.

Lin Yuge quickly ran to Lin Qingzhou's side and said anxiously, "Big brother, go to the helmsman's cabin and give him directions."

Lin Qingzhou nodded solemnly, and without the slightest hesitation, turned and ran towards the control room.

His figure appeared somewhat unsteady on the swaying deck, but his steps were unwavering.

Lin Yuge then quickly organized the other crew members.

"Ah Biao, Ah Qiang, go check if the ropes are loose and reinforce those wooden buckets that hold the fish!"

"Everyone else, come with me to check if there's anything left unsecured on the deck!"

At this moment, Lin Qingzhou had arrived at the helm, and he gripped the handrail on the bulkhead tightly.

He shouted loudly to the helmsman, "Old Zheng, head northeast, we should be able to avoid this."

The helmsman, Lao Zheng, was covered in sweat, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

He gripped the helm tightly with both hands, struggling to control the ship's direction.

The ship struggled to turn amidst the surging waves.

Suddenly, a huge wave crashed in, causing the ship to tilt violently.

Seawater surged onto the deck like a ferocious beast.

The crew members clung tightly to whatever was around them to avoid being swept away.

Lin Yuge shouted, "Hold on, everyone!"

Her voice remained clear and powerful amidst the raging wind and crashing waves, giving the crew courage.

Under Lin Qingzhou's guidance and Lao Zheng's superb steering skills.

The ship gradually moved northeast.

The dark clouds had completely covered the area overhead.

Lightning flashed like silver snakes through the clouds, illuminating the turbulent sea.

There's a small island ahead!

Braving the wind and waves, Qiu Dalang stood on the observation platform and shouted with all his might.

The sound was torn apart by the howling sea wind, but it still reached the ears of everyone on the deck.

Lin Yuge was overjoyed and immediately shouted towards the rudder control cabin:

"Old Zheng, move towards the small island!"

Old Zheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to adjust the rudder.

Amidst the raging winds and towering waves, the ship rocked violently as it struggled to make its way toward the small island.

Each wave felt like it was going to capsize the ship.

But with his rich experience, Lao Zheng cleverly took advantage of the gaps in the waves.

Let the ship slowly approach that island of hope.

Lin Yuge was also busy. While directing the crew to prepare, she observed the situation around the island.

The small island was surrounded by waves and densely packed with reefs, making it difficult to safely reach the shore.

"Watch out for the rocks!"

Lin Qingzhou's shout had just ended.

Another huge wave crashed in, and the ship tilted violently.

The crew members clung tightly to objects around them to avoid falling.

As they drew closer to the island, its outline gradually became clearer in the light of the lightning.

The island is covered with lush vegetation that sways wildly in the strong winds.

Some seabirds were startled by the storm and circled frantically above the island.

"Prepare to drop anchor!" Lin Yuge gave the order, and the crew immediately sprang into action.

As the boat approached a relatively safe shallow area, the heavy anchor was dropped, splashing high into the water.

The ship gradually stabilized under the protection of the island and stopped rocking violently as before.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the small island that seemed like a lifeline in the storm, his eyes were filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
