~9 min read 1,700 words

Uncle Awei and his uncle on the other boat also looked a bit greedy, but how could they still have ideas? They were still counting on taking the boat back.

Ye Yaodong took the fish fork and climbed onto the reef carefully, but was hit by a wave, his body swayed, fortunately, his hands supported on the reef and he didn't fall, but Ye's father was so scared that his heart was raised.

"Dongzi, you be careful, or forget it..."

It was a rare opportunity, he didn't want to give up.

"I'll just go into the water and swim over, if it doesn't work, forget it."

He cherished his life very much.

Once in the water, the seawater covered his neck, and he slid on the water surface and swam toward the swordfish.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the reef, his feet could actually reach the ground, and he could barely stand, letting his chest float above the water surface.

This was also good, convenient for him to exert force.

The swordfish in the reef groove, because it was not short of seawater, was still jumping and struggling there. Ye Yaodong deliberately stood in the direction of its tail to prevent it from suddenly exploding.

He stared at the position of its eyes, and then quickly used all his strength to stab the fish fork in.

The swordfish was suddenly stimulated by this, and let out its unique tragic cry, followed by the whole fish body suddenly exploding and rushing out of that groove, directly rushing to the reef above.

"Dongzi~" Ye's father shouted worriedly.

Ye Yaodong had been prepared, and after stabbing the fish fork in, he retreated directly into the sea and looked up.

Only to see the swordfish constantly struggling and jumping on the reef above, and finally slid down, fell into the sea, and the blood directly dyed its surroundings red, but it was still struggling and flapping in the water with tenacious vitality.

This was an adult swordfish more than two meters long, very fierce.

Ye Yaodong continued to keep his distance from it. Before it was completely dead, he wouldn't get close. If it gave him a hit, he wouldn't believe he had another chance.

Where are there so many bugs?

Offering to Mazu once is enough.

The blood kept spreading, and even spread to Ye Yaodong's surroundings. Once the waves outside hit, it was immediately diluted, and the swordfish was also washed away by the waves.

Ye Yaodong followed and slid around not far or near. He had to guard the trophy that he had finally managed to kill.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he swam over directly and grasped the fish fork that had been exposed on the sea surface. At this time, the swordfish no longer showed signs of struggling.

He shook the fish fork a few more times uneasily, and seeing that it still didn't move, he was relieved to go up and grasp its sharp mouthparts, and then dragged it toward his fishing boat.

At this time, Ye's father's worry had faded, and a deep smile appeared on his furrowed face, not only because he caught the swordfish, but also because of his caution just now.

He didn't relax his vigilance because success was in sight, which made the old father very gratified.

"Dad, help drag it up!"

Ye Yaodong grinned, very happy, today was finally not a wasted trip.

The father and son, one pulling the mouthparts on the boat and one supporting the fish tail in the water, worked together to get this swordfish of more than 100 jin onto the boat.

Then Ye Yaodong climbed up immediately after.

At this time, Uncle Awei's uncle looked at him with complex expressions, feeling that some people's wealth really came, and you couldn't stop it even if you wanted to.

Whose it is, it is whose!

"Congratulations, you caught this swordfish. It's yours, it's yours."

Ye Yaodong looked at this big fish and was also a bit happy, and his attitude was rarely better.

"Don't you still have one stuck on the boat? There is no threat around anymore."

Uncle Awei's uncle frowned, and said with some reluctance, "The swordfish stuck on the boat is given to you, consider it a reward. Thank you for following all the way, and I will trouble you in a while to help send us back to the pier. I am really sorry for today's matter."

Whether it was sincere or not, hearing a few soft words still made people feel comfortable.

And saving people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, they had already followed, so it was impossible to just throw people here as wild people. Sending them back was simple, but...

"Then what about your boat?"

"Just tie it here first. I'll take a few pieces of cloth to block the holes stabbed through first, scoop the water out, and after going back to get some repair materials, I'll invite a few people to come and help with maintenance."

"Okay, as long as you have arrangements yourself."

Ye Yaodong only talked to Uncle Awei's uncle the whole time, and didn't care that Uncle Awei kept looking at him with complex eyes, nor did he look at him or bother with him.

Saving people is saving people, because of the Maritime Convention! But this doesn't mean he wants to reconcile with him actively. He doesn't indulge people with problems.

Ye's father happily pulled the fish fork out of the swordfish's eyes and handed it to Ye Yaodong, "You be careful, although that fish's mouthparts are stuck on the hull, it might also go crazy, pull it out before it dies..."

"Dad, don't worry, you just drive the boat over, I won't go into the water, I'll climb onto that boat and kill it, no matter how it goes crazy."

"Good, good, good."

Ye Yaodong took the fish fork, and when the heads of the two boats were together, he stepped over and walked toward the position of that swordfish.

Because this fish had been soaking in seawater, it was still alive and well, constantly swaying its tail and hitting the hull with its body.

He followed the same method and stabbed the fish fork into its eyes hard, but saw it struggling more violently, and the blood splashed all over the hull. He was also splashed with spots everywhere on his body and face, and it was too late to retreat.

The fish body flapped wildly against the hull, making a high-frequency slapping sound, accompanied by its special and indescribable tragic cry.

It lasted for about seven or eight minutes before it weakened rapidly, only occasionally swinging its tail a few times, struggling on the verge of death.

This swordfish was really a bit weak, and it finished itself off with one mouthpart stuck inside.

Ye's father happily handed over the kitchen knife and asked him to cut off the mouthparts.

Ye Yaodong chopped like chopping a tree, one hand holding the fish fork and one hand chopping with a bang. It took a long time to cut off its hard mouthparts, but the fish fork held up by one hand couldn't bear the weight of the whole fish body.

The moment he cut off its long snout, it also fell into the sea. Fortunately, Ye's father was prepared and held a hand-held net underneath, and the swordfish fell directly into the hand-held net.

After all, the hand-held net was just a simple fishing tool. It could catch fish weighing twenty or thirty jin, but it couldn't catch such a heavy swordfish, so it could only ensure it didn't sink.

"Dongzi, it's too heavy, you go down and help support it up."

"Okay."

Throwing the kitchen knife into the corner of his boat, he went down into the sea again.

After this fish was also moved onto the boat, he went to bleed them, and after letting the two finish the boat, he moved all the goods on the boat over, planning to send them back directly first.

He was not at ease taking them to continue working at sea!

Guarding against others is indispensable!

As for those longline hooks, he could only wait to collect them at night, hoping it wouldn't be windy.

He handed the boat to his father to drive, and only sat down to catch his breath and rest after processing the two fish.

He sat directly in the corner leaning against the hull, occasionally paying attention to the nephew and uncle.

His body was wet, and the cotton-padded jacket was not warm. When the cold wind blew, he kept sneezing, and his nose was running.

The first two times he went into the water were fine, just sneezing a few times. This time he was actually running a runny nose. It should be because he went into the water too frequently and the cold wind poured in at this time.

He felt that his diving plan was going to be aborted. It was like this now. It would be fatal to go into the water after winter. He didn't have the hobby of winter swimming...

Wrapped in the cotton-padded jacket, his brain was spinning at a high frequency, and he wiped his nose more and more frequently...

After the fishing boat sailed for about 40 minutes, the pier was in sight, and several people breathed a sigh of relief. They were all eager to reach the shore early.

After the goods were moved off the boat, Ye Yaodong actually heard a thank you for the first time!

He picked his ears in surprise and looked at Uncle Awei.

Only to see Uncle Awei turn around awkwardly and follow behind his uncle, walking to Ah Gui's acquisition point next door.

He pouted, accepted this thanks deservedly, and then focused his attention on the scale.

The two swordfish combined were 303 jin!

Acquisition price of 1 yuan per jin, plus dragon tongue fish and other fish goods, sold for 328 yuan today.

He happily carried the huge payment slip and went home, but that night, he found that he had a fever, and it was windy...
