Chapter 1043: Great White Shark Attacks Fishing Boat (Monthly Ticket +11)
The boat had been idle at home for more than half a month. They weren't restless, but the women in the village were restless first, occasionally asking Ye Mu or Aqing why they hadn't gone out to sea recently.
After all, although some trawlers hadn't gone out intermittently because of the rain, they still went out to sea every two or three days.
Like the Fengshou, it had gone out and stayed for three days before returning, but his boat had been parked in the middle of the sea drifting, without any movement. Those women who wanted to earn wages were anxious.
Lin Xiuqing used the reason that there were things at home that couldn't be pulled away, plus the weather in the outer sea was fickle, so they hadn't gone out to sea recently, but if they came back from sea, they would definitely call everyone to work.
"This is called the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious to death."
Lying in bed at night, the couple would always whisper a few words in the middle of the night. At this time, the couple was chatting there.
"Working for half a month and resting for half a month, those boat workers are quite comfortable."
"Don't think like that. The sea is so dangerous, and they can't sleep well on the boat. Basically, they just squint for a while and get up to work. It's bitter."
How could those who hadn't been there understand? Ye Yaodong knew the hardships of fishermen well.
"The weather forecast said it's sunny again tomorrow night. Looking at it today, there's no wind or waves. The things for going out to sea have been prepared. You get up tomorrow and look. If the weather is good and there's no wind or waves, let Dad call the other boat workers."
"Hmm, Dad ran to Uncle Pei's place to discuss it last night."
"Dad has been going to Uncle Pei's place very diligently recently."
"There's wine to drink. At home, Mom watches him and doesn't let him drink too much. If he drinks, he easily goes crazy, rambling on and not sleeping, just bragging."
Lin Xiuqing turned to the side and asked curiously, "Dad, are you also very curious about the progress between Uncle Pei and that widow?"
Ye Yaodong laughed softly, his chest vibrating, "Possible, maybe Mom sent him."
Lin Xiuqing also laughed, "Sleep early, don't talk. The more you talk later, the less you'll want to sleep."
"Don't want to sleep."
His hand rubbed back and forth on her back.
Lin Xiuqing pinched him, "You've been too idle recently, wanting it every two or three days."
"Hmm, energy has nowhere to vent. For a strong young man like me, this frequency is normal... Aren't women also like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty..."
She laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing at you asking about the widow's age before."
"That 50-year-old sitting on the ground can still suck soil. Maybe A Guang is really going to have another younger brother."
He certainly knew whether a 50-year-old could still do it!
Lin Xiuqing smiled and slapped him, "You're very gloating."
"No, many children bring many blessings. Anyway, his family also has money. With such a big age difference, most of the family property will naturally be his in the future. If there really is a younger brother, it's like raising a son. His father is at that age and is still working desperately for him. It doesn't matter if he raises a younger brother in the future."
In this day and age, the pressure of raising another child is not great; just have a bite to eat. Even if they get married in the future, it will be around the 2000s or 2010s, and the bride price hasn't reached a sky-high price yet.
What's more, half of the country was still fought by his father for him. If he continues to help work, his father's things will definitely basically be his.
His mother is completely worrying for nothing. What does a little baby have to do with it? It's not like fighting for the throne.
"Then if you really say so, you can have one too."
"How is that possible? A couple kissing at fifty, nightmares can last all night."
Lin Xiuqing was instantly amused by him, laughing until she shook.
Ye Yaodong looked at her shaking and also smiled and reached out.
"Dry wood and raging fire, it's different from an old couple. Look at Brother Asheng and his wife, they've only been married for more than a month and are already pregnant."
"Are you going to laugh me to death?"
"What I said is all the truth."
"Brother Asheng's wife was quite right to marry."
"Hmm, Mom is quite good at finding them. By the way, A Guang's eldest sister was entrusted to Mom before the year, and Mom hasn't arranged it yet?"
"A bunch of people have broken down his threshold. Everyone knows his family will give a large dowry, so all the dirty, smelly, and shameless ones have come to the door. They've already been dazzled. They missed one before and didn't dare to settle it so easily. After picking for a month or two, there's a young man chatting there now, preparing to get familiar first."
"That's true. Blind marriage and dumb marriage are not advisable. Who knows if they are consistent inside and out."
Lin Xiuqing held his head and nodded seriously, "Indeed, at least we have to get along for a period of time to see, otherwise it's easy to jump into a fire pit."
Ye Yaodong grabbed her hard, "What does it have to do with me? Haven't you already enjoyed happiness?"
"Hmph!"
"Still hmph? Then you hum more later..."
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong got up early. It was rare that when he woke up, his wife and children were still asleep.
It was also because he had been resting at home for a long time recently, and he had rested enough, so his mental state was full.
When he got up, his father was already sitting at the courtyard gate smoking a water pipe in the sun.
Seeing him come out, Ye Fu just turned his head and looked, then said, "It's calm today, the weather is quite good. You eat and prepare, we'll go out to sea. I'll go call people and move everything onto the boat."
"Good."
"What are you still standing there for? Go eat."
"Aren't you still sitting there? I'll slow down."
He twisted his neck and waist, watching the sea surface in front. The tide was rising, and the boat could just go out. Immediately after, he went to wash up.
When Lin Xiuqing got up, a group of people were already moving things in the courtyard and pushing the flatbed cart out. Those that couldn't fit on the cart were carried away.
"Going out to sea so soon?"
"Hmm, better early than late. The tide has just arrived."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the rising tide and the beautiful weather, so she didn't say anything. Originally, they had discussed going out to sea today as well.
Early in the morning, the outside of the pier was cold and clear. The trawlers had already gone out to sea at night, and there weren't even a few small wooden boats. Everyone was a diligent person.
When they arrived, Pei Fu was already there. Everyone couldn't care about greetings, and as usual, they took a small boat, moved things onto it, and then got on the big boat.
Ye Fu watched the boat workers move things and shouted to Pei Fu, "I feel like after resting for so long, my bones are ruined. Still can't be idle."
Pei Fu echoed with deep feeling, "Yeah, resting makes one lazy. It's just this weather, sunny and rainy, hard to grasp. The weather forecast isn't accurate. We go out for several days before coming back, unlike them, going out at night and returning during the day."
"The weather is getting a little warmer, and many fish are migrating. Recently, there are many sea bass. Let's see how the harvest is on this trip."
Ye Yaodong didn't bother with the two old men chatting. There were so many workers, and they weren't dead. Where did he need to do anything? Everyone performed their own duties and knew what they had to do. The first thing he did when he got on the boat was to burn incense for the Mazu statue and worship.
He hadn't been on the boat for more than half a month and hadn't worshipped. Sin, sin.
He even specially brought a few big oranges and placed them on the small altar, placing five.
"Great luck and great profit, smooth sailing!"
After worshipping, he ran into his father as he came out.
"Finished worshipping? After finishing, give me the yellow paper. Peace and wealth, great luck and great profit."
Ye Yaodong handed him a few sheets from the side.
This was a ritual his father had to go through every time he went out to sea. Only after completing the ritual could he go out to sea with peace of mind.
If by any chance the yellow paper wouldn't burn, or burned halfway and didn't continue, then for them, the trouble would be big. No matter how good the weather was today, no matter how calm it was, they would definitely head back.
This process was very important.
It was just that superstitious.
Fortunately, his set of processes was completed, and Uncle Pei next door also went through a set of processes. Everything was fine, and the two boats started one after another, driving one after another.
"I'm still following you out to sea every day now, and I can still do a ritual for you. Later, when I can't work anymore, you have to do it yourself. You must not drop it."
"I understand."
"Hmm, following you every day these past few years, helping you work, although it's counted as wages, your eldest brother and second brother didn't say anything, but they probably have some thoughts in their hearts. Next year, when the three brothers' boats are in hand, I'll go to that boat. You drive this boat yourself. You have to help on whoever's side it is, only then is it fair."
"Know, know, don't ramble. If you want to stay here, I'll let you steer, and I'll go down below?"
"I just said two words, so impatient."
"You're too long-winded. Things that have been known for a long time keep being talked about. It's not too late to talk about it when the boat is in hand, right?"
"Fine, fine, I won't talk. Then you drive the boat."
After his ears were clear, Ye Yaodong followed behind the Fengshou, bored. After refueling and adding ice, a series of things were busy, and they set off with full force again.
Today was truly beautiful, with warm and gentle sunshine sprinkled on the sea, golden light radiating, and the waves brought up by the boat were like glittering fine silver in the sun.
They were walking in the direction of the sun, the dazzling light. Fortunately, there was glass to block it; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see the road ahead.
Not far away, seagulls were flying in groups, some spreading their wings and flying high on the sea, some skimming the water on the sea, and some would fly low over their fishing boat from time to time.
Probably because their boat was empty, just out to sea, and there was nothing on the deck. After flying low for a while, the seagulls didn't find a target, so they probably flew away in disgust, preparing to be self-reliant and look for fish and shrimp floating on the upper layer of the sea.
Setting off early in the morning, it was only 11 o'clock when they lowered the nets and started fishing. The boat workers had rested for more than half a month and were all full of spirit. They chatted and laughed on the deck all the way, and no one was listless and hiding in the cabin.
After the fishing boat drove to a deep enough sea area, it started to lower the nets and continued to move forward while working in the direction of the East China Sea.
On the sea, as usual, there were only their two boats, lonely. Looking around, it was boundless. Except for the sea, even the islands couldn't be seen.
Fishing in the near sea, one could occasionally see fishing boats passing by from time to time. After they changed to a big boat and ran far away to fish, it was really very, very difficult to see a boat.
After everyone lowered the nets, they stood on the deck and chatted as usual. Although there had been several spring rains one after another, the temperature gradually rose, but the sea breeze blowing over the sea was still cold. The temperature on the sea was just lower than on land.
Ye Yaodong drove the boat to work all day, and Ye Fu chatted and bragged with the boat workers until night fell, when he changed to his father driving the boat.
The harvest for the whole day today was neither good nor bad, just so-so. There were no particularly amazing goods, but the harvest was okay. Probably earned back the money for refueling and adding ice today.
Refueled less today. Only went out to sea for one day on the last trip and came back. More than half of the oil on the boat remained, saving a little expenditure.
Agreed to change him after 12 o'clock at night, so he went back to the cabin to lie down. The quilt that had been exposed to the sun was exceptionally fragrant, without any damp feeling from before.
Sure enough, Chen Shi was more reliable.
Just squinting half-asleep, before midnight, he was shaken awake by someone.
"Adong, Adong, get up quickly, get up quickly, there's a situation... there's a situation..."
Ye Yaodong was startled awake, immediately lifted the quilt, and looked at the old boat worker who woke him up in panic, "What's wrong, what happened?"
"There's a great white shark! There are two great white sharks following next to us. Your father doesn't know what to do, saying you are more familiar with these big fish, so let us wake you up quickly and let you feed them something."
He hurriedly put on his shoes, took his coat, and walked out. Hearing this, he turned his head in a daze, "Ah, let me feed the great white shark?"
Feed himself?
What did his father think he was? And what did he think the great white shark was?
The great white shark is not like the basking shark, nor is the whale shark a vegetarian. It eats meat!!!
Although it prefers some creatures with higher fat content, such as seals, and doesn't have much interest in humans, it will still eat people if provoked, and it will also attack fishing boats, unlike some other whales and sharks that are so friendly.
"Yeah, he said you often feed these big fish, saying this big fish won't attack people. If we don't dare to feed it, let us wake you up and let you come."
"My dear father!"
He didn't dare to deal with the great white shark!!!
"Listen to my father's nonsense, the great white shark will eat people! Go see how big it is quickly?"
As soon as he walked out onto the deck, he felt the boat being hit, shaking violently. At the same time, he also saw two white figures on the sea, each looking five or six meters long, not to be underestimated...
"My goodness!"
He was knocked to the side of the boat, holding the edge of the boat hard so he didn't fall.
At the same time, others also shook, and others quickly ran to him, pointing to the two baskets of miscellaneous goods on the deck and saying to him.
"Adong, two baskets of miscellaneous goods have been prepared. Is it enough to feed?"
"Is it enough? If not enough, we'll go to the cabin to move more..."
At the same time, Ye Fu also stood on the steering building and shouted at him, "Dongzi, hurry up, hurry up... feed them full, let them go quickly. This is too scary, still hitting the fishing boat..."
Ye Yaodong also had black lines on his face, looking at his father nervously, shouting loudly, "Drive the boat and run quickly, feed a hair, this is a great white shark, it eats meat, eats meat!!!"
"What to feed? Feed me? It will attack the boat, attack people, unlike other big fish that are so gentle, run quickly..."
After Ye Yaodong roared, his father panicked. Originally, he wasn't that panicked because they had encountered such big fish more than once, and had encountered even bigger ones.
Dongzi was fearless, either feeding, or climbing onto them to remove barnacles for them, or untying the tangled fishing nets, or touching them. Before, there was a group of sharks that didn't know what they were, and a large group followed them back to the village.
Didn't it work this time?
Ye Fu was in a hurry, accelerating to run.
The boat workers on the boat also looked at him helplessly.
"It's not like what your father said?"
"Can't feed? If these two baskets of goods are fed to them, won't they leave?"
"These two are great white sharks, great white sharks, great white sharks! Not other big fish, feed a chicken hair, running quickly is the right thing." Ye Yaodong shouted excitedly.
Was he Buddha? Still asking him to feed.
Buddha feeding the eagle only cut off a piece of meat. Asking him to feed the shark, he had to lose his whole person.
"I said this is a great white shark, cruel, must run quickly. Your father insisted that you have fed this kind of big fish many times, and pouring two baskets should make them leave by themselves. If they don't leave, they won't attack us, let us wake you up, nothing will happen."
"My father really thinks highly of me!"
After the fishing boat was hit by the great white shark, it was not hit again, but the great white shark did not leave, and also accelerated to swim on the side of the fishing boat.
Everyone heard that he had no way to deal with this great white shark, and their hearts were raised, fearing that these two fish would join forces to attack the fishing boat, then they would really be Barbie Q.
"How long have the nets been down?"
"Almost two hours, it's okay to collect."
"Then go call my father to collect the nets. Don't just run. Only after collecting the nets can we run fast. He really thinks too highly of me. Great white shark, actually asking me to feed."
After a boat worker responded, he hurriedly ran to notify Ye Fu to start the nets, and others also divided two to help collect.
Ye Yaodong also instructed Chen Shi to watch the sea surface, and he also ran to the cockpit.
The guns he brought out to sea were placed on the seat under the cockpit and were not placed in the cabin. The cockpit could only be controlled by him and his father. Placing them there, he felt more at ease.
Now these two great white sharks were surrounding the fishing boat and not leaving, and just hit the fishing boat. Without some hot weapons in hand, the danger was a bit big. This was not a gentle big fish like the whale shark or the basking shark that ate vegetables.
He took two 56-half guns down, and the other boat workers widened their eyes, their hearts instantly settled, feeling that safety was guaranteed now.
"Gun! Adong brought a gun on the boat!"
"With a gun, that's good. Now it's good, not afraid of that great white shark..."
"With a gun, it's good..."
"Hurry up and shoot them twice first, so they don't dare to follow!"
"Can't mess around. If you shoot them twice, it will provoke them. Later, they will attack the fishing boat desperately, and even if they die, they will pull us to be cushions. That will be troublesome. Can't shoot randomly."
He was a bit worried and handed the other gun to Chen Shi, repeatedly instructing that he couldn't shoot without his permission. Otherwise, if it wasn't good, it wouldn't drive the shark away, but would capsize the boat, and everyone would fall into the sea.
"K…know"
Chen Shi pinched the gun with both hands, pinched it tightly, his fingertips turned white, and he also looked at the sea surface nervously. ===== CHAPTER 1044 =====
