Chapter 491: Helping to Drag the Boat

"Dongzi, I didn't expect there to be jellyfish so close."

"This hasn't been opened far, right? There are really many jellyfish here."

Also because it is close, it ensures the time for jellyfish to go ashore and catch, and also facilitates the timely processing of jellyfish, no wonder small wooden boats are very easy to catch.

Ye Yaodong also said happily, "So they can also catch with small wooden boats. Let's scoop with hand-scoop nets. After scooping up, process them directly, so as not to drag the net and not be able to drag it up. It is too laborious to drag them one by one to the shore."

The three of them moved immediately, one driving the boat and two going to get hand-scoop nets.

They didn't have experience, and they didn't prepare a few more hand-scoop nets on the boat. There were only two in total, and one long handle and one short handle, just one for each person.

It's just that when the fishing boat approached, all the jellyfish around sank into the sea and ran away.

When Ye Yaodong's flashlight shone, he was suddenly stunned, "Sank so fast?"

The two brothers holding the hand-scoop nets were also confused, "This is not a drag net, and it can't be seen after sinking, how to scoop?"

"Is it because the sound of the diesel engine is too loud? Scared?"

He looked at the small boat that had just rowed past not far away, and it also stopped. The old fisherman on the boat used a hand-scoop net to quickly net a jellyfish, and was struggling to drag the net to the side of the boat.

"Turn off the engine and see."

They shouted at Ye Yaosheng who was driving the boat, and the sound of the diesel engine disappeared instantly, and the boat swayed on the sea with inertia.

The ears were quiet instantly, and the fishing boat drifted forward slowly. After a while, they found a jellyfish emerging from the side of the boat.

Ye Yaodong quickly took the hand-scoop net from them and scooped towards the jellyfish that had just emerged from the water that he found beside him.

But I don't know if it was a bit far, the jellyfish didn't cover it, and it started to run away. Ye Yaodong hurriedly continued to net towards the front of the jellyfish swimming, and fortunately the handle was long enough, and this time he covered it.

The forty or fifty jin jellyfish is already a big jellyfish. When covering it and pulling it towards the boat, it is particularly laborious.

Because there is not only jellyfish inside, but also seawater brought in, which is not as good as the ten-jin size he caught a few days ago, which is very easy.

Afraid that the fishing net would break, he slowed down and let the seawater flow out as much as possible to reduce the weight.

The eldest cousin on the side saw a light blue one floating up on the edge of the fishing boat again, and hurriedly buckled the hand-scoop net down with quick eyes and fast hands, covered it, and then scooped it up very laboriously.

Fortunately, the edge of their hand-scoop net was welded with thick iron, which was still firm, just afraid that the fishing net would be supported and broken.

The other two on the boat also came to help pull. They hooked the edge of the iron ring and worked together to lift the hand-scoop net up with great effort.

Two huge jellyfish were poured out of the hand-scoop net one after another and fell on the deck.

Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat on his face, "This damn thing is all physical work. It's so big, it's not easy for one person to pull."

"Do you want to open the boat again? Or just let the boat drift?" Ye Yaosheng asked.

"Open it forward for a while and see. If the light shines, we will stop in advance. There are not many here, and they all sank just now, so it is not easy to scoop."

Ye Yaosheng went to drive the boat obediently, the eldest cousin and the second cousin went to deal with the two jellyfish just scooped up, and Ye Yaodong held a flashlight and shone on the sea surface.

There were not many fishing boats around, only scattered three or four small wooden boats. Maybe it was because the time was early, or maybe they opened the boat faster.

Jellyfish have the characteristic of floating in the morning and evening.

After a while, he shone on the umbrella-shaped transparent objects floating not far in front, so he called the boat to stop in advance, and then let the boat drift with the wind and water to fish.

The four of them cooperated like this, working in pairs, and slaughtered and processed as soon as they caught them.

Time passes very fast when there is work to do. As the sky gradually brightened, more and more jellyfish were scooped up on the boat. One person couldn't handle it anymore, and two people needed to handle it, and two people needed to catch it.

They also let the boat drift with the waves, as long as they didn't touch the reef, they didn't care. There were quite a few floating on the sea surface.

Just when everyone was too busy to distinguish the direction, Ye Yaodong found that there seemed to be two large boats very close to each other in the distance, and their boat was drifting in that direction.

"Dongzi, shall we avoid it?"

The two brothers who were processing jellyfish raised their heads instantly and looked curiously.

"Are those two boats over there acquaintances? Otherwise, why would they be so close?"

"Not necessarily, it is possible that big boats bully small boats, and many people bully few people is also possible. We seem to have drifted quite far, and no small wooden boats have been seen. At first, there were quite a few small wooden boats."

Ye Yaodong agreed without hesitation, "Let's open to the side and avoid it. After all, we are unfamiliar with the place. Who knows if it is safe? It is better to have one less thing than one more thing. Anyway, keep a distance from other boats, and it won't be wrong to be far away."

"Hmm, I think so too, then I will open to the side, let's stay far away."

The sea area is very wide. Even if they avoid to the side, they can still see the traces of the two boats in the distance, and they didn't deviate much. Seeing jellyfish floating on the water surface around, they stopped and continued to catch jellyfish, but they occasionally looked at the situation in the distance.

Not long after, Ye Yaodong saw that the two boats had separated.

One boat sailed towards their direction at a constant speed. Not far away, Ye Yaodong could still see their happy smiles and the fishing net working at the stern.

It looked quite normal. The boat didn't come over, so they didn't think much about it, just caught their own goods.

But after a while, the other boat also drifted towards them with the wind and water. Don't ask them how they knew, because they could see it.

The boat was hit by the sea water and drifted straight with the wind and water, not as fast as sailing. Ye Yaodong still didn't care. After all, they let the boat drift at will before, and they caught it when they saw it, and opened the boat again after catching it.

Who knows, after about ten minutes, they had almost caught the jellyfish around, and intended to open the boat, but saw someone lying on the boat in the distance, holding a red flag and shaking it towards them.

Looking from a distance, most of the upper body was explored out of the boat edge, giving them the feeling of being very anxious.

Ye Yaosheng was originally preparing to drive the boat to leave this position. After seeing it, he hurriedly looked at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi?"

"I saw it. It seems that they are calling for help over there. Since they are waving a flag to ask for help, let's go over and see."

"Did they have a conflict with the people on the boat just now?"

"It is possible. After all, the two boats were together just now, one boat left happily, but this boat could only drift with the wind."

The other two brothers also stopped processing jellyfish and stood up, leaning on the side of the boat and looking over there.

The fishing boat got closer and closer, and they also saw the person lying on the boat edge waving the flag listlessly.

"It's the young man from yesterday!"

Ye Yaodong was surprised. Wasn't that the young man on the boat they encountered when they approached the village yesterday? At that time, he was quite proud that their family had a big boat.

The young man on the boat almost cried with joy when he saw them. The hand waving the flag was more powerful, and his body was supported.

After the boat approached, Ye Yaodong also clearly saw four or five people sitting crookedly on the boat.

"Help, fortunately your boat is nearby and didn't go far." The young man communicated with them in broken Mandarin.

Ye Yaodong asked suspiciously, "Did you have a conflict with the people on the boat just now?"

Otherwise, their current state cannot be explained.

And just when they approached, he felt that something was wrong? Only then did he remember that there were no jellyfish on their boat. Was this robbed?

Is it so unsafe on the sea here?

They have four people and were still beaten?

"That group of dog bastards is from the neighboring Dayuan Village. They have always had conflicts with our village. They have fought quite a few times in the past. Today, they happened to be encountered by them. Count us unlucky. We will settle accounts with them when we go back."

"Brother, can you help us drag the boat back together? My father and my brothers were all beaten, and they were thrown into the water and stung by a group of jellyfish. They are now stinging all over, and they are hot and cold, and their stomachs are hurting. The diesel engine was also taken away, and we can't go back."

"Can you trouble you? If this is delayed for too long, people will die. You also know that jellyfish are poisonous."

Ye Yaodong agreed in one breath.

"Okay, we have been catching until now, and it is almost time to return. By the way, take you back together."

Being new here, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the people in the village, and there is no conflict. He cannot see death without saving.

From night to now, it is almost time to collect and sell a wave, otherwise it will shrink if it is not processed for too long.

By the way, help, make a good relationship, and it will be convenient to live in the village next.

And yesterday, I learned that they have many brothers and are a big family. Most of this village has the same surname as them. Saving them is also beneficial to him. Why not do it?

The young man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the others on the boat also said thank you in local dialect or broken Mandarin.

"Thank you very much. My name is Lu Hongwei. If you have any inconvenience or anything in the village, just come to our house and find us."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this after going back. Let's take the rope and tie the two boats together first."

"Thank you. Today is really lucky to meet you, otherwise we don't know how long we will drift in the sea before we can meet a big boat."

"We also saw your two boats together in front, but we didn't know the situation. After all, we are from out of town, so we didn't dare to go over."

Lu Hongwei was so angry that his eyes widened, and he cursed a few times, "There was a group of jellyfish floating densely on the water surface just now, and we felt that it was too slow to scoop them up one by one with a hand-scoop net, so we planned to put the fishing net directly and drag it back. Who knows that this group of people rushed over to sneak attack, damn it, and our fishing net sank directly, and we were caught off guard. I'm so angry." ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
