Chapter 1113: Half the people missing

Ye Fu didn't say much more and hurriedly ran back to the rental house.

The boatmen who came back a step early had already packed everything. Everyone frowned, stood at the open space at the door, discussing, and by the way, listening to the movement in the distance.

"It's a good thing we came back early at noon, otherwise we'd probably be the same as them, brains beaten out..."

"Who says not, when we just went in the morning, everyone could still hold back, could still control it, but in the afternoon, the anger all exploded."

"Of course, no one is a soft persimmon. On someone else's place, it's barely okay to endure once or twice, how can it be endured all the time?"

"This kind of weather is hot to death, the anger is already big, provoked a few times, who can endure it? In the morning I almost couldn't endure it, if it weren't for not having a gun in my hand, I would have fought with them long ago."

"Exactly, in the morning they also snatched us several times, it's just that we were small wooden boats, didn't dare to fight with them at all, for fear of being crashed by them a few times and capsizing into the sea, so we could only let them."

"Don't know what it's like to fight outside, just heard gunshots..."

"The locals are scared away, they are all paper tigers, just now they shouted so loudly about blood debt paid in blood, as soon as they heard the gunshot, they wished their parents had given birth to two fewer legs..."

"Exactly, when there are no gunshots, it will probably be calm..."

Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu just ran back, and everyone surrounded them, asking questions one after another. They didn't know which one to answer.

"Don't know when it will stop, originally wanted to wait for you guys on the boat directly, but thought about it and still ran back first. Have things been packed? Is everyone here?"

Thinking that these people had no backbone, don't get beaten to death by the locals in the chaos. If they waited on the boat, he would also be anxious, might as well come back together.

"All packed, all piled in the basket, wait for the outside to stop, we can carry the basket and all get on the boat."

"Still two people missing, it's too chaotic, don't know where they ran."

Ye Fu said, "Dongzi, you go pack things first, I'll go see if your eldest and second brother are back."

At this time, A-Guang also ran over anxiously and asked, "Are we leaving immediately?"

"Have to wait until the movement outside stops, the pier is not chaotic, then we get on the boat. You guys hurry up and pack things."

"My father saw the situation was not right and had people pack it, let me come over and ask. It's a good thing we came back a step early, this mess can't be good. No matter if we are with them or not, the outsider label is on our heads, can't shake it off, the locals' resentment will also implicate us."

"Hmm, leave this town first, talk about it when we get to the sea."

While they were talking, the villagers from the village also gathered around to ask questions, all asking what to do. Knowing that everyone had packed things and was ready to leave, they also hurriedly ran back to pack.

And the landlords of the rental house didn't know what to do with them. Although they resented these outsiders for causing trouble, they had been together for a few days and knew they were two groups, and they were polite to each other in daily life. And they came back in the afternoon, the gunfight at the pier had nothing to do with them.

Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the waiting time to settle the wages for the past few days for the two landlords who cooked. The rent was paid in advance, and there was no need to chase it.

"Public security caught people... Public security caught people..."

"Many public security officers ran over with guns..."

"So late, it's estimated that it's all over..."

"People also have to call people, also have to get the approval slip to get guns from the ammunition depot, if not many people go over, that's sending death, everyone is fighting with red eyes..."

"I estimate it's waiting for the fight to be almost over before going over, otherwise bullets have no eyes..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"Then these public security officers went over, it's estimated that the scene can be controlled in a while, let's prepare, those with shoulder poles use shoulder poles, those without shoulder poles carry baskets."

Other villagers packed things, the two missing people in the conversation also ran back, and other villagers all gathered at his side, just waiting for the outside to calm down and run away.

Their conflict had escalated. It wasn't that they didn't do it, so they had no crime. An outsider title, for the victims' families, was original sin.

They couldn't see the situation at the pier here, but they could see the nearby public security bureau.

After waiting for a while, there were a few gunshots over there, and it was quiet again. Immediately after, there were people running along the main road, shouting while running.

"All caught... all caught, everyone can rest assured to go to the street..."

This sentence was repeated.

And after they heard this in the alley, they also breathed a sigh of relief, and then after a while, they saw a mighty group of people surrounding a group of big caps, and in the middle was a large group of people tied with ropes, and many were carried behind.

The crowd cursed while walking, but didn't throw rotten eggs or rotten vegetable leaves. After all, there were locals and outsiders, and locals were the majority. As long as they were on the scene, they were all caught, whether they were onlookers or participants.

Only those who ran fast at the beginning didn't become one of them.

Some hid in the corners behind, wanting to see the situation, but they were all caught indiscriminately.

Fortunately, there were no people from their side involved. Knowing the situation was bad, they ran fast, for fear of being implicated.

Plus, they didn't have thermal weapons in their hands. Thermal weapons were on the boat or in the hands of Ye Yaodong. It was impossible for them to hold guns swaggeringly when they ran out to see the situation.

"Shoot them all... outsiders are too bad, holding guns to kill people when coming to our place..."

"... died so miserably, how can we orphans and widows live in the future..."

"Murderers, all must pay with their lives, can't let them run..."

"Just now someone ran to the boat, drove the boat and ran, ran away many, remember to drive the boat to catch..."

"Also have to go to the place where they live to search for people, don't let them run, don't let any go..."

The noise of the crowd was endless, and more and more people gathered around.

During the gunfight, ordinary people were not suitable to appear to watch the fun, but at this time the people had been caught, so everyone ran out again. Street corners and alleys, every alley was crowded with people, and both sides of the road were onlookers.

Everyone followed to the entrance of the public security bureau and was still standing there discussing.

"Shall we go now?"

"Seems to have entered the public security bureau."

"Go, take advantage of the fact that everyone is here, hurry up and carry things, go directly to the pier. If we don't go now, we won't be able to go later. Once they settle the caught people, they will have to free up their hands to subdue us all, catch us first."

"We didn't do anything, have to catch us too?"

Ye Yaodong ran while talking, "Who told us to be outsiders? Just now outsiders and locals had a gunfight, no matter what, we have to be caught first. As for when to release, whether to release, lock up for a few years, of course, it's all up to them, so run if you can."

"Others seem to have a few people who didn't come back, some people ran out during the free time in the afternoon, and then haven't come back all afternoon..."

"Haven't come back at this time, can't manage it either. Can't leave everyone behind to accompany them for the sake of one or two disobedient ones."

Ye Fu also agreed. "Then move things to the boat first, and everyone get on the boat. It's good that we didn't make any mistakes here, we can't manage so many others."

"Knowing that they were all fighting, shooting everywhere, how could they not hurry back? Haven't come back yet, probably all caught..."

"Then what if they were really taken away by public security?"

"Taken away, then can only squat inside first, see how the local public security bureau wants to handle it. Don't talk, take everything, hurry up and go."

Ye Yaodong had been carrying his password box in his hand. He was also carrying it in his hand when he ran to the alley entrance to see the situation. Although he said that the big money had been sent back yesterday and there wasn't much money inside, it was still several hundred yuan. Today he didn't make much money, and tomorrow he didn't know what the situation would be, so he couldn't lose it.

Their large group of people all picked up shoulder poles, or carried baskets and hurriedly ran out, and they were still taking the small path, otherwise they would be watched by a group of people on the main road.

Other villagers also moved things to them in advance just now, and at this time they were also running with them. It's just that everyone exchanged a few words when running, really five or six people from the village didn't come back.

But now they couldn't manage anywhere, and there was no time to search everywhere. No matter what, they had to get on the boat first. At most, they could come back to see the situation in a few days.

A few people couldn't compare to the importance of a large group of people.

"You said that the locals and the people over there were fighting to the death all night and were all caught, will it be cheap for us tomorrow?"

"Oh, f*ck! Just thinking about the fighting just now, dead people, all caught, and didn't have extra brains to think about this..."

"Haha, then this thing is still a good thing for us? Both sides fighting to the death, we pick up cheap in the back, what is this called?"

"I know... I know... I've heard of it, called the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Right, exactly, that's the sentence. This is uncultured, can't even say the words. Then as long as we can return to the boat, that whole stretch of sea trench will be ours. No one will snatch with us tomorrow..."

"Right, they were all caught, no one will snatch with us tomorrow!! We just need to change a place to dock..."

"Ah, then they fought to the death and it was cheap for us?"

"It's a good thing we came back early in the afternoon..."

"Don't talk nonsense, run faster, don't give people a chance to react. Now we are running away, not the time to talk."

Ye Yaodong looked at the group of people who suddenly became like they were injected with chicken blood, saw their originally worried mood replaced by excitement, and they could talk and laugh while running, and they weren't nervous at all. He hurriedly reminded them.

"Right, right, hurry up and run to the boat first. If you don't run to the boat, everything is empty talk."

A large group of people ran desperately toward the pier. After a sensational farce, the sky was also a bit dark at this time.

After it got dark, it was even better to hide people.

It's just that when they all ran to the pier together, there were still many locals at the pier. Everyone saw them and all shouted to stop them.

"Stop them, don't let them run..."

"Don't let this large group of outsiders run, hurry up and call the public security bureau, there is still a large group of people here... they are going to run away..."

"Too shameless, hurry up and stop them."

Ye Yaodong and the others just looked at the brightly lit pier, and secretly called out bad in their hearts, but they could only bite the bullet and run over hurriedly.

All their boats were at the pier. For most of these fishermen, half their life's family property was on that boat. If they were a step late, all the boats would be detained.

They couldn't run to other places in the town, there was no other place to stay. No matter how they ran, their boats were still there.

And just now, they ran all the way over, and had already attracted the attention of many locals. At this time, there were also people shouting behind them, echoing from head to tail.

"Killed someone and still dare to run... these fish that slipped through the net, don't let them run..."

"Why are there still so many people at the pier?"

"Maybe it's because they were fighting all the time, so the local fishermen couldn't sell goods, and then just caught all the people, and everyone dared to come to the shore to sell goods, look... they are all weighing goods over there..."

"Dog days, rush over, don't worry about them, run first..."

"Take off the hats, take off the hats and run over..."

This didn't need anyone to remind. When running hard, the hats were naturally blown backward by the wind, and the shiny bald heads were naturally exposed.

That group of local goods sellers didn't know if they were hiding on the boat and watched the whole farce, seeing them all rushing up with hatred.

It's just that suddenly seeing a large patch of bald heads, everyone widened their eyes and stayed stunned for a while.

"Where did the bald heads come from?"

"Monks?"

"F*ck, it's those outsiders who wear hats all day long. I said why they were so strange? Turns out they are all bald, definitely not good people."

"Ah, definitely all released from prison..."

Taking advantage of the moment when the locals were stunned and silly, one by one, the bald heads that blinded people immediately ran away half, and the ones behind, because there were many luggage and people carrying things, were a step late, and were blocked by the people who reacted, and were served with sticks.

"Let them run, hurry up and chase, beat them to death!!"

"Don't let any of them run, go to the shore and surround... they outsiders killed so many of us... don't let them go..."

"Turns out they are all released from prison, no wonder they dare to use guns to kill people, hurry up and catch them, send them to prison..."

"Don't let them run, they outsiders are all in the same group, all released from prison, earned our money last year, and wanted our lives this year..."

"Use sticks and shoulder poles to beat them to death..."

These local fishermen had great strength, although they didn't have guns, they also had some sticks and shoulder poles.

And they could only be forced to put down the shoulder poles they were carrying, take the shoulder poles to fight with others, and some clever ones also took the opportunity to hurry to the boat.

Ye Yaodong and his father were carrying baskets that not only had their luggage but also guns. But at this time, he was a bit hesitant, whether to take out the guns and fire two shots to deter, and then take the opportunity to run away, but he was afraid it would have the opposite effect, and would stimulate these people, after all, they had just experienced a gunfight.

Just as they were confronting, a gunshot rang out around them, and he didn't know which side fired the gun.

After the crowd was silent for a second, everyone erupted into a greater roar.

"Want to kill people again, beat them to death, don't let them hold guns, snatch their guns..."

"Have the guts to kill us, no one is allowed to run..."

"Deliberately brought guns over, not a good thing, don't let them run, see how many bullets they have, block them, knock off their guns..."

"Beat them to death, don't let them run..."

With everyone's collective excitement, more locals surrounded them, and the scene became more and more chaotic. The crowd was dense, and it was impossible to pull away the distance to shoot.

The pier instantly erupted into a second big chaos.

And those who took the opportunity to run to the boat couldn't leave immediately for a while, because they had hired people on every boat, and it was fine to lose four or five in a large group, and they could turn back to inquire later.

But if every boat was missing a few, and the missing ones were the boat bosses, then how could they leave?

Ye Yaodong couldn't leave even more. He originally had 30 people, most of them were carrying things, and after being blocked by the locals, it became chaotic directly, and not even half of the people ran out.

He had already run to the side of the boat, but seeing that his father was not among the faces on the boat, he looked back anxiously.

In the dim night, he didn't know where his father was surrounded by the crowd. That large group of dozens of people were all fighting there.

"Damn it... bad luck, clearly worshipped Mazu before coming out..."

"Adong, hurry up..."

"You guys go tie up the small boats, I'll go find my father."

He gritted his teeth, threw the password box onto the boat, and ran over, but didn't rush into the crowd that was already fighting like crazy, only shouting on the periphery, not only shouting for his father, but also for his eldest and second brother.

These people rushed over and all rushed into the crowd that was fighting like crazy. He shouted and turned around outside, but he wasn't affected. The sky had already darkened, and the locals who rushed over with shoulder poles beat the crowd indiscriminately, unable to tell friend from foe.

"Public security is here, everyone run..."

A shout in the local dialect, the locals immediately stopped, and all pushed the crowd to run outward. The dark night was the best protective umbrella.

Except for some who were beaten and lying on the ground unable to run, everyone else did as birds of a feather.

And this group of them also crawled and hurriedly ran toward the pier. Some scattered luggage and things were all ignored.

Ye Yaodong was even more anxious on the periphery. Except for a few small light bulbs at the acquisition points, other places were gray and dark, and the light was too poor. He couldn't see where his father was.

Seeing a large group of big caps rushing toward this side from afar, he could only hurry to run to the boat first, so as not to get himself involved.

Before running, he also roared, "Hurry up and run, don't want things, if you can't run, jump into the sea..."

Those big caps ran very fast. Those who participated in the chaotic battle just now had more or less been hit by a few sticks, and those who were beaten severely were still lying on the ground. No one could take care of others, and could only take care of themselves first.

It's just that those who were beaten and injured couldn't run nimbly, and were captured after running a few steps. Some, even if they had run to the boat, but the boat didn't have time to open, were also captured by the big caps rushing onto the boat.

The people had a natural fear of officials. Even if they had weapons in their hands, they didn't dare to resist at all. Seeing big caps rushing onto the boat, one by one, they held their heads and squatted down to surrender with ashen faces.

Ye Yaodong was fine. He had been turning around on the periphery just now, didn't rush into the crowd, saw the situation was not good, hurried to the boat a step ahead, and then pushed the boat open.

Some people who didn't have time to get on the boat were jumping on the shore. He hurriedly let people shout to jump into the water and swim out, and he would pick them up later.

There were some boats nearby, as long as the boat boss got on the boat, they left a step ahead. Those who couldn't catch up all jumped into the water, and some boat bosses who weren't on the boat were very entangled, but seeing the big caps running over, some hurriedly ran, and those who couldn't run were naturally caught.

The shore was surging, and they on the sea surface couldn't be calm at all.

After they sailed out for a short distance, they stopped on the sea surface first. After catching so many people at once, the big caps had to deal with it, and at this time, they had no time to go to sea to chase.

And the fishing boats that ran out in time all gathered together, and then everyone separated and approached the shore a bit, and fished up the people who fell into the water first.

After confirming that there were no people who fell into the water on the sea, and they were all saved, they opened toward the outside together.

Because Ye Yaodong had many people, naturally many people got on the boat. Originally, the small boats were tied behind the large boat for easy access. The people who got on the boat in time just now also tied Boat 002 behind.

At this time, his Dongsheng was pulling a pile of large and small fishing boats behind, and a pile of fishing boats were also following on the sea surface nearby. However, compared to when they first came to the small town, it had shrunk by half.

When they first came, everyone was high-spirited, thinking about how much money they would make on this trip, but at this time they were chased like stray dogs, and one by one their faces were like earth.

The boatmen on the deck were also silent, and no longer had the optimistic idea that the sea trench belonged to them after others were caught.

Ye Yaodong's heart also sank. His father was not on the boat, and he didn't know about others. After saving the people, everyone left the shore first.

He also contacted the Fengshou at the same time. The one driving the boat was Pei Fu.

A-Guang ran out and was on the boat, but his father was not on the Fengshou. His heart sank again. He didn't say much and directly cut the line.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, patted the operation console, and pushed open the door of the cockpit to go out.

And the other fishing boats on the sea surface stopped one after another after seeing his boat stop, and then they also drove toward his side.

After he went up to the deck, he looked at the boatmen on the deck and asked in a deep voice, "Have you counted how many people? How many of us didn't get on the boat?"

"We are missing 12 people. Now there are 5 on the boat who are from other boats. In the rush of the dark night, there was only time to climb onto the boat, and there was no time to identify them. They are all from our village."

"Your father might be on other boats. In the chaos, as long as you can climb onto the boat, who cares who it is."

"Since we've stopped, everyone check the number of people together, see how many people were caught."

"Right, everyone go back to their own boats, check the number of missing people, see who is missing from each family, so we can make a decision."

"What kind of thing is this, if I knew, I wouldn't have run..."

"Right, if I knew, I wouldn't have run. If I didn't run, maybe this wouldn't have happened. My son hasn't run out, what to do..."

Ye Yaodong saw that some people had resentment, and he was also very angry. He shouted directly at them.

"Don't run, then all be caught in one pot. You shouldn't be thinking that those people killed and fought, and it has nothing to do with us, right? Everyone is an outsider, the label is the same, don't expect that if they are unlucky, we can still benefit. Can the locals tolerate us continuing to stay there?"

"Don't say who didn't run out, my father didn't run out either. I'm looking for my father, the matter has already happened, and there is no regret. What's more, if you regret it, you will also be caught in one pot. Now first organize the number of people, and then think of a way."

"What other way is there?" Someone said with a very aggressive tone.

"Everyone came out with you to make money, not to send their lives..."

"Right, if I knew it was so dangerous, everyone wouldn't have come..."

"Going back, how to explain? Half the people can't go back, money wasn't made, and people don't know what will happen..."

"Don't know if those who didn't keep up still have lives to go back..."

Ye Yaodong was half-dead with anger by their words. Originally, his father wasn't found, and his mood was bad enough. Everyone was still making post-mortem remarks there.

"You f*cking, why is it sending your lives? It was originally high-risk, it was told in advance, and everyone came voluntarily, it wasn't me forcing you to come, and I also repeatedly said it was dangerous."

"Is it my wish to make it like this? I also want to be happy, safe, make big money, and go back gloriously. Now it hasn't been how, everyone has such big resentment, who said people can't be saved?"

A-Guang also helped. "Right, before coming out, Dongzi specifically reminded that this trip wouldn't be so smooth, might lose lives, it's very dangerous. It's everyone who was red-eyed for the benefits. Originally, high benefits also mean high risks, otherwise how could you make so much money?"

Pei Fu also said, "Now people are just caught, nothing has happened yet. Everyone don't be agitated, let's clear up the people first..."

(The villagers' reaction is very realistic, there will be a reversal later)

"Yeah, if we had known it was this dangerous, everyone wouldn't have come..."

"How are we supposed to explain this when we go back? Half the people aren't coming back, we haven't earned any money, and who knows what will happen to the people still there..."

"And who knows if those who didn't keep up are even still alive to go back..."

Ye Yaodong was half-dead with anger at their words. His mood was already terrible enough because his father hadn't been found, and now they were all standing there playing Monday-morning quarterback.

When they were making money, they were all smiles; the moment something went wrong, they were full of complaints and resentment.

"Damn it, what do you mean 'sent out to die'? It was high-risk from the start, I said so beforehand, and you all came voluntarily. I didn't force any of you to come, and I kept repeating that it was dangerous."

"Do you think I wanted it to turn out like this? I also wanted to earn big money happily and safely, and go back in glory. Nothing has even been settled yet, and everyone is already so full of resentment. Who said the people can't be saved?"

Aguang also chimed in: "That's right, before we left, Dongzi specifically warned us that this trip might not go smoothly, that it could cost lives, and that it was very dangerous. It was everyone who got greedy for the profits. High returns always mean high risks; otherwise, how could you possibly earn so much money?"

Ye Fu also said: "The people have only been detained for now, nothing else has happened yet. Everyone, don't get excited; let's get the situation sorted out first..."

(The villagers' reactions are naturally very realistic; there will be a reversal later.)
