Chapter 492: Fishing (Two chapters into one, the word count is a bit short, will make up for it tomorrow)

It is not easy to make a living at sea anywhere. Not only on their side, but also here. And it seems that the conflicts between villages and villages in the surrounding area are not small.

I don't know if it is because of the border, the dialects are various, and the conflicts are also more. The surrounding villages on their side are still quite peaceful.

Ye Yaodong was also a little worried. They were outsiders. It would be fine to stay for a day or two. If they stayed for a long time and earned a large sum of money, the villagers would be jealous and make trouble. Maybe they wouldn't be able to leave by then.

He was tying the rope to the boat while pondering whether to shoot a gun and change a place? Or just live on the boat?

After tying the ropes of the two boats and connecting them, he returned to his boat and let Ye Yaosheng drive the boat back.

And he also told his two cousins about his concerns, wanting to see what they said?

The two were also stunned. After thinking about it, it would be fine for an outsider to live in the village normally, but the key is that they are also catching jellyfish, and earning money is obvious to all. There are people with bad intentions everywhere.

If someone is really jealous, someone with good intentions provokes conflicts, and the people in the village don't let them leave easily, or if there is a bloody accident, they can't afford it.

"Then what should we do? Do we really want to live on the boat? But there is no fresh water! And we still have to dry jellyfish blood."

"Otherwise, can we only sell it as a whole? Dock nearby when the time comes, and fetch a few buckets of water?"

Selling as a whole is a bit of a loss. Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose bridge. This era is too unpeaceful, and it is easy to do it if you don't agree.

"Wait and see later. After all, we just moved into the village yesterday, and today we helped the big surname of their village. We can be friendly for a period of time. It should be fine in the short term. After living for a few days, we will see the situation. If the signs are not right, we will move away directly."

And I don't know if his eldest brother and second brother are sure to come today. He left the name of the village here. I don't know if they can find it. If they come to meet, they will have more people, and they can be safer at sea.

"That's fine. After saving people, the village should be friendly for a period of time. If you go to another village, you don't know if it's easy to talk."

"That's what I said. Whoever has a lot of money in his pocket and is known by others is unsafe. When I get the money, I will go directly to the post office in the town to open an account and deposit the money, so as not to be unsafe by my side, and I am afraid of losing it."

He also said this sentence on purpose. Human hearts cannot stand the test. He didn't know how much money he could earn on this trip, so it was good to eliminate unnecessary risks in advance.

"Yes, it's good to deposit, and I'm not afraid of losing it."

The two cousins nodded in agreement. Their eyes were clear, and they didn't have any extra thoughts, so Ye Yaodong was relieved.

He said with a smile, "It's hard for you to take risks with me on this trip. Let's see how much money we can earn, and I will give you three big red envelopes."

The eldest cousin's dark face smiled honestly, "Why are you polite? We are all brothers, all our own people."

"Yes, following whoever earns money is earning, and it's good to help you. Following you is better than working for others." The second cousin also chimed in with a smile.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then let's live in the village for a few days and catch it with peace of mind for a few days."

"Hmm, let's process the remaining jellyfish first."

One boat dragged another boat, and it was slowly opening back. However, the speed of dragging one by one could not keep up with a single boat, even if they tried their best to open fast.

When Ye Yaodong sailed, he occasionally walked to the stern to check the situation of the people on that boat. Only after seeing that they were all awake was he relieved. Some jellyfish are very poisonous, and some jellyfish are not so poisonous. This is all luck.

They can meet him today, which can be considered a misfortune in misfortune, and it seems that they are not deeply poisoned. It is estimated that they will be fine after finding a health center to get an injection when they go back.

Two boats sailed on the road, and the fishing boats encountered along the way avoided them from a distance. No one dared to approach, for fear of causing any right or wrong.

At first, it might be because their boat opened far away, and there were no fishing boats. After opening for more than ten minutes, there were more small wooden boats on the sea surface.

Scattered small wooden boats were floating everywhere. Each fishing boat basically had more than two or three people, men and women. Men caught, and women processed on the spot.

Seeing them, they all looked over curiously. There were two fishing boats, and I don't know if they were acquaintances. Seeing them, they actually boldly followed.

After they docked on the shore, the two boats also docked to ask about the situation of the boat behind.

Ye Yaodong walked to the stern to listen, and by the way untied the rope, only to know that the two small wooden boats were also his brothers'.

The people on the two boats also climbed onto the big boat, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, angry, and cursing there. It seemed that they couldn't wait to rush to the neighboring village immediately.

Old man Lu didn't know what he was muttering with them, so they stopped cursing, but their expressions were still angry. One person also came over to thank him.

"You'd better take them to the health center to see first. Jellyfish poison has strong and weak. It has been delayed for a long time. Safety first."

"Okay, okay, thank you, let's go first."

Lu Hongwei also thanked them again before getting off the boat.

The women on the shore, seeing their state, all stepped forward to ask if they were familiar, and then they were all cursing excitedly there.

It seems that the conflict between the two villages has been a long time.

Ye Yaodong took a look and then withdrew his gaze. Anyway, he is not from this village and doesn't care about these.

"Cousin, you two take two buckets of jellyfish blood back to let Dad boil first, and by the way, tell Brother Liang to call the car to collect it. We will watch on the boat first."

They went out for a trip this morning and estimated that they caught fifty or sixty. Adding up big and small, it should be about the same as yesterday afternoon. Three thousand jin should be there.

After this boat is collected, they can go out for another trip. However, the sun is big, and there should be less floating in the afternoon.

While they were waiting, quite a few fishing boats on the shore also returned one after another with full boats of jellyfish. Some small wooden boats had small space, so they caught them back and processed them.

At this time, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but pity. If it were in his own village, it would be great. Directly unload the goods and let his own family watch, and they could go out immediately, instead of waiting here, delaying things.

But there is no way.

Fortunately, the tractor came quickly this morning. When they moved the jellyfish blood and jellyfish brain back in batches, the car also came to collect the goods, and Ye Yaodong also made an appointment with him for about four o'clock in the afternoon, asking them to come over to collect the goods again.

However, the price was reduced by 5 li today. Although the jellyfish caught in this trip this morning was heavier than yesterday, it only sold for more than 70 yuan.

This quantity will decrease in price when it increases. However, the price is still very good. After all, affected by the typhoon some time ago, it has only started to catch in large quantities recently, but it is certain that the price will decrease later.

Now we can only hope for good weather and catch for a few more days.

After Ye Yaodong and the others lifted the goods onto the tractor, they continued to go to sea without stopping.

The coal stove on the boat was still there. Although it is not early or late now, we have to get something to eat, so as not to have no time to eat when we are busy later.

When they went to sea, quite a few small wooden boats rowed back one after another. These boats didn't dare to run too far, probably rowing for ten or twenty minutes from the shore. It was close to the shore, and the surrounding fishing boats were all from the village, which was safer.

Ye Yaodong looked at the fishing boats all around the coast, with many monks and few porridge, and didn't want to stay here too much, so as not to be suspected of grabbing goods with the villagers, causing hatred.

As soon as the boat opened, it sailed far away. There were more quantities on the far sea surface, and there was no need to fight with people to catch them.

It was just that in the afternoon, the sun shrank back into the clouds, and it looked cloudy, but fortunately it didn't rain, and they could continue to catch.

The eldest cousin looked at the cloudy sky worriedly, "Dongzi, can't you catch it if it rains?"

"Light rain should be no problem, heavy rain is definitely not possible. Once it rains, the jellyfish will sink back into the sea, and there is no place to find it. It won't work if the wind is strong."

"Then how many days can you catch in this month? You have to pray for God's blessing."

"Isn't it? Relying on heaven to eat, who can say for sure? This is like the rice grown by ancient people. Whether it is a bumper harvest or a reduction in production, or no harvest, you can only wait for God's blessing. There are 360 lines, every line has a champion, and every line has risks. Nothing is easy."

"However, my luck shouldn't be so bad. Anyway, it's enough, and the next is all earned."

As soon as Ye Yaodong caught a big jellyfish, he saw another one floating up beside him, looking very small. He covered it with a net pocket, tried to lift it, and found it was very easy.

He mentioned it to the side of the boat and took a look, and found that this one was probably only seven or eight jin, still a jellyfish baby. After thinking about it, he simply let it go directly.

This is too small compared to the ones he caught in the past two days. It is better to let it go back and grow for a while. Sustainable development, anyway, he catches one casually, all of which are more than twenty or thirty jin, and fifty or sixty jin are also available. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have this one.

"Old cousin, when you catch it later, if the size is too small, just let it go. It's too small and useless. Keep the big and abandon the small."

"Okay, but there are not many small ones. The jellyfish seen in this sea area are all big."

"Hmm, catch the big ones, it has weight. It's just that it's too damn hard to catch. One person can't lift it up, heavier than anything, and it carries water. After catching for a long time, I haven't caught much, and my hands are almost out of strength."

He wiped the sweat sliding down his cheeks and continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't have strength, this day is also damn hot. You have to leave a few jin of sweat a day. It was quite cool in the morning, and it's stuffy to death now."

The eldest cousin smiled, "You should be able to cool down if you take off the sun hat on your head."

They often saw him wearing a sun hat in the village, and they were long used to it.

"That won't work. You can not wear it in the morning, but you have to wear it at noon. It is easy to get dark without the sun at noon."

The second cousin joked, "You are whiter than ordinary girls, and you still need sun protection? I saw that when you entered the village yesterday, many big girls and little wives in the village kept staring at you without blinking."

Ye Yaodong was a little proud. His sun protection has been quite in place for the past six months.

"Who makes me look handsome? No way, I rely on this face to eat, so of course I have to pay attention to sun protection."

"Why do you rely on this face to eat? Haven't you earned a lot in the past year or two? Is your wife obedient at home? I didn't see her with a bitter face before, and she has a smile when she sees people."

"That's not it, let alone I earn money now. When I didn't earn money, she was obedient in front of me, and she washed my feet every day, squeezed toothpaste, and didn't say a word."

Lin Xiuqing: "?"

"Your life is good now. It is really the feng shui of the house. Your family is getting more and more prosperous."

"It's okay."

For an afternoon, they were chatting while catching, and they were not bored at all. And with the previous car of Lu Hongwei's family in the morning, they didn't dare to run too far.

It was just that when they were catching, they saw a huge jellyfish moving in front. Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up when he saw it. Just when several jellyfish around them were caught, they had to move forward. He hurriedly let Ye Yaosheng drive the boat to chase it.

"That one is big! Bigger than any one before, just follow it and see, catch it."

Ye Yaodong leaned on the side of the boat and kept looking forward. Just when they chased it, he saw a black shell-like thing following behind this white big jellyfish?

Shell?

Turtle shell?

"Eh? Sea turtle sneaking up to eat jellyfish?"

"Where? Ah, such a big sea turtle?"

I saw a sea turtle with a shell about the size of the bottom of a basin following behind the big jellyfish. This sea turtle seemed to have just torn a piece of jellyfish tentacles from the bottom.

When they saw it, it happened to have white jellyfish tentacles on its mouth, swallowed it instantly, and then saw it chasing behind the jellyfish, tearing a piece of tentacles from time to time.

But the jellyfish couldn't help it. Its body was full of turtle shells, which blocked the jellyfish's tentacles, making it helpless.

This is still okay, since he saw it, it is his.

Ye Yaodong let the boat stop in advance. When they were about to sink into the water and kill each other, he directly covered the jellyfish with a hand-scoop net, leaving the sea turtle nowhere to start.

I don't know if his action made this sea turtle anxious, leaving it nowhere to bite, this sea turtle actually bit the fishing net in one bite, and was dragged to the side of the boat by him.

When it was close, he also saw the secret barnacles growing on the back of this sea turtle. I don't know if it is uncomfortable.

He pulled the handle in his hand, trying to lift it up slowly, but found that he couldn't lift it at all. The old cousin on the side also hurriedly reached out to help lift it.

After lifting it up slowly with great effort, he found that the sea turtle was still biting the umbrella end of the jellyfish at the bottom of the net.

"You damn thing, you don't want your life for a bite, help me get a stick to poke it down. If it weren't for a sea turtle, but another fish, I would have caught them all in one net."

"Just catch this sea turtle up together?"

"Forget it, such a big sea turtle is also a mascot. Haven't you heard that in the past, temples did good deeds, and they all released turtles? Sea turtles are the same kind as turtles, and they are about the same. Let's release it. This can protect humans from bad luck and peace, and will also make people suffer retribution."

Although this sea turtle is not very criminal yet, in the past year or so, he has also seen that his luck is good. Maybe he didn't realize it at first, but later even a fool could see that his luck is not ordinary, and he also believes more in luck.

"That's true, sea turtles are still quite auspicious, then I will poke it down and let it return to the sea."

The second cousin poked the turtle shell with a stick. It seemed to be frightened, directly retracted its head, and then fell back into the sea, its four feet kept paddling, and its body sank into the water quickly.

After Ye Yaodong saw it sink, he let both of them come to help pull. This huge jellyfish is really a hundred jin, and the weight with water is very heavy. Two people may not be able to pull it up.

Three people gritted their teeth, their arms blue veins bulged, and they moved the hand-scoop net along the side of the boat little by little.

After pulling it to the side of the boat, they poured their hands onto the boat, and a huge jellyfish fell onto the boat with a slap.

"So big!"

"Really big, there is actually such a big jellyfish, one is worth several next to it."

"Such a big one is not easy to process. There are so many tentacles at the bottom. If you are not careful, you will be stung. Yesterday, I was not skilled, and I was stung lightly when processing, and it stung for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, I will do it in a while. Its tentacles at the bottom have also been eaten by the sea turtle."

Such a big one is not easy to process. If you are stung, it is very likely that you will be cool, so he must do it.

Ye Yaodong said while kicking, and lifted its umbrella end with his foot, and took a look at the foot, it was indeed eaten a small half.

"You open the boat and catch yours, I will process it."

"Okay."

Next, everything went smoothly on the sea surface. It was also because they were more cautious. After all, they were on someone else's territory. They avoided those that were about the same size as their boat from a distance.

When it was close to the time in the afternoon, they set off and returned. They had to wait on the shore to collect goods before four o'clock.

It was just that it was a bit strange to them that when they sailed to the shore, there were no small wooden boats catching jellyfish around the coast.

This is simply incredible. When they docked yesterday, the surrounding sea area was full of diligent fishing on the sea surface. Today, the time is not very late, right?

It is reasonable to say that fishing boats returning to port will not all return together so early.

"Could it be that the whole village went to fight?"

"So united? Don't earn a lot of money, all go to fight?"

"This is hard to say. When facing the outside world, the village is generally quite united, not to mention a village like them with the same surname, and the brothers of that family are so many, not to mention the cousins?"

"Don't worry, it's the most important thing to sell today's goods first. I don't know if my eldest brother and second brother have arrived by boat? Where are they? Can they find this village? This town is so big, it's quite difficult to find a village." ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
