Chapter 120

~8 min read 1,566 words

After throwing one last net, he caught more than a jin of small white shrimp, and there was no other good cargo.

A Zheng and Xiao Xiao were slightly disappointed, still hoping to explode another net, but their mentality was also very good, and it was not bad to have these.

After returning the hand-throwing net, Ye Yaodong returned to his boat, intending to go back.

As a result, when he returned to the shore, he saw many people gathered by the pier. Don't know what they were doing?

After tying the boat, he curiously went ashore and intended to go over to listen. The pier can also be considered an important information exchange place for their fishermen.

Who knew that as soon as he walked close to listen, he heard them discussing that someone died?

No way? Didn't die when the typhoon was blowing, but died after the typhoon?

He hurriedly spoke, "Who fell into the sea? How could they fall into the sea? And a couple fell into the sea together?"

"Sigh, I don't know if three or four boats went out at night. Only one came back just now. Wasn't the typhoon just over yesterday morning? Someone went out at night. I heard people say that they saw you drag dozens of jin of three-knife fish and a big giant grouper on a typhoon day, and they were also jealous and wanted to go and gamble on luck."

"Saying that if the situation is not right, they will come back quickly. Who could have thought..."

"It's the family under the Guanyin Temple mountain. The couple went together. Some villagers who went together saw the waves rolling from afar, and the boat was directly overturned by the waves. The waves were especially big, and I don't know where they were beaten by the waves? Others wanted to help but couldn't."

"Our neighboring Dongshan village also went out, don't know if it was one boat or two? Didn't hear that anyone came back."

Ye Yaodong's brows frowned so much that he could pinch a fly. The typhoon just left them, not that it was gone. The loudspeaker didn't play the news of the typhoon landing, just said it went up and left their area.

Even if it landed, how could the wind and waves at sea calm down so quickly?

In the past, they waited for a day or two after the typhoon passed before boats would sail to sea one after another. The typhoon just passed yesterday morning, and you couldn't wait to go to the outer sea at night. Isn't this looking for death? If you want to gamble, you don't gamble like this?

They went two days before the typhoon came, and it was quite dangerous. They were afraid after going once.

When they came back, they deliberately exaggerated the danger at sea, just fearing that someone would feel it was too easy to catch big cargo and also want to take risks. Who knew that there were really people who were not afraid of death and wanted money but not their lives?

He asked again, "What about the other boats that went together? Went out at night, why did they come back only now?"

"I heard that the wind and waves were too big. They watched the boat overturn, and were so scared that they found a small island on the leeward side to stop. Even so, the waves kept hitting the deck. Only after the waves were not so big did they dare to sail back."

"Really pitiful, actually fell into the sea together as a couple..."

"Don't know what they were thinking..."

"I heard that several sons in the family got married one after another, and they owed a lot of debt. After the typhoon, the cargo would be more, so they wanted to go to sea to try..."

The crowd started discussing again. Ye Yaodong stood and listened for a long while before walking home.

Didn't expect that people still died.

Can only say it's too greedy.

This incident can also be considered a warning to him. The sea is ruthless, and you must be careful when going to sea.

By the time he walked home, the whole village was discussing this matter, and his family was also talking about it.

As soon as he came back, his father scolded him again!

"Know how dangerous it is now? People went out and couldn't come back. You can come back, that's Mazu's blessing. If you take risks like this next time, I'll break your dog legs. I'd rather let you lie at home as a useless person than fall into the sea directly."

He actually wanted to explain, but swallowed the words when they reached his mouth. Let his father scold him for a few words! His father is also loving and strict, just worried about him.

Ye's mother also frowned, "Did you hear that? How dangerous the sea is. You are a young man who hasn't been to sea many times, you should listen when you should listen."

"Okay, okay, I was really wrong, I definitely won't be like this."

"Can't let people worry for a moment, don't know what you were born for..." Ye's father scolded for a while, and only stopped to drink water when he was thirsty.

Ye Yaodong felt guilty and hurriedly took the materials for making ground cages in the corner to do it, honestly and peacefully performing well.

Only then did Ye's father stop scolding.

Not long after, it was rumored in the village that a boat in the neighboring Dongqiao village didn't come back either. It was estimated that it wouldn't come back. That boat went out as a father and son. I heard that the family had already cried miserably.

The villagers were very heavy-hearted. They had known each other for many years as fellow villagers, and they felt a bit like a rabbit dying and a fox grieving. Everyone was a fisherman, and suddenly four people were gone.

When they sat together to drink at night, they also talked about this matter. They felt that the wine didn't taste good, and the seafood didn't taste good.

"Why didn't you think about the typhoon just passing? Why couldn't you wait for a day or two? You were so anxious, and as a result, you lost your lives."

"In the final analysis, it's still wealth moving people's hearts!"

"Speaking of this, I remember Uncle Awei's brother-in-law, this fish thief. When should we go and cover his sack and beat him up to vent our anger?" A Guang touched his bruised cheek and said depressedly. He didn't dare to go out for several days.

Afraid that people who don't know will see his face and think he fought again. Don't let the good reputation he just regained turn bad again.

It would be bad if it reached the ears of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He still wants to marry a wife.

"Better to choose a day than to hit the day. Anyway, the wine can't be drunk, let's go now? It just happened to be dark."

"Go, go, go, of course we have to pay back if we suffered a loss!"

The four of them took a sack and excitedly went to Uncle Awei's mother-in-law's house. Don't know if it was because they hadn't done this kind of thing for a long time, everyone was a little excited.

It didn't matter if they stood in the corner and fed mosquitoes. They just thought about whether they could wait for a rabbit.

As a result, they waited for half an hour, almost losing their mood, before seeing that brat come out of the house, then took out a cigarette butt with only half left from his pocket, secretly took out a matchbox and smoked while walking, and pretended to be very cool.

Seeing this appearance, everyone wanted to beat him up! Really so asking for a beating!

The four of them followed him. Seeing that he finished smoking in a while, he took out half a cigarette from his pocket again and relit it with a match. Everyone was speechless.

After all, he is a young man, not a half-grown child who just came into contact with cigarettes. A friendship cigarette is only five cents a pack. Can't he afford this? And he smokes the cigarette butts thrown away by others...

Wasting matches!

Everyone looked down on him. After walking to a quiet corner, Ye Yaodong took the sack and put it on without hesitation.

Such an asking-for-a-beating appearance, it's a pity not to beat him up!

The other three also hurriedly followed and kicked him.

Until they heard movement in the distance, they hurriedly retreated.

After venting, A Guang felt happy. Finally, he didn't take the scolding in vain and was driven out with a broom.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his fists, "Damn, I haven't hit anyone for a long time, I feel like I'm rusty."

"Just hang your two sons up and beat them! One 135, one 246!"

"Holy crap~" Ye Yaodong scolded with a smile, "Not your son, you don't feel sorry! And you just say it!"

"Isn't it? Who of you hasn't been beaten when you were young? When I was young, my dad wanted to beat me for no reason on rainy days."

"Screw~ hahaha~ it really is..."
