Chapter 638: The drifting unmanned small boat

~10 min read 1,998 words

Although he felt that Brother Brother Asheng was also quite good, he was not a big boss. The money leaking from his fingers was enough for him to eat.

His own accounts had not been settled yet, and there were still several thousand in the final payment for the boat hanging there.

He had only earned a little money, and his second uncle thought he had made a fortune. His attitude was different from the past, and he was still chattering in his mouth, wanting him to pull Brother Brother Asheng up. Sigh~

It is estimated that there are many people with this idea, but they didn't run to him to say it.

When he really makes a fortune and has money, he really doesn't mind helping. After all, they are his own family, and he also has a good impression of this hardworking cousin.

Now, he has to wait for him to make a fortune first. What he earned this year is not enough to buy a boat. Where is this?

Only when one person is rich can he lead others to be rich together.

The faint light of the flashlight flickered and illuminated the road he was walking on. On a cold day, there was no one on the road, only the whistling wind. The villagers had long since shrunk into their quilts early.

However, the houses of the few families by the beach were still brightly lit. The men had returned to their rooms to sleep, and the women were still killing fish there.

When he walked to the door of his house, he wanted to tell his mother to rest early, but he swallowed it back. His mother couldn't listen to him saying nice things...

Moreover, at night, his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law had to go out to sea with the fishing boat. Tonight, they really had to kill all these fish and dry them. They couldn't leave them overnight.

Hearing the noisy movement coming from his eldest brother's room, he directly changed his words and shouted: "Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, go home and sleep!"

"Ah? So fast? Eldest aunt and second aunt didn't tell Ahai and the others to sleep." Ye Chenghu ran out in a hurry as soon as he heard his name called.

"You don't care what time they sleep. You hurry home and sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"I'm not sleepy yet, I want to play for a while longer."

"Don't you want the reward?"

"Okay..." Ye Chenghu pulled Ye Chengyang and walked out unwillingly.

Seeing that he was captured so easily, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were also curious and asked one after another: "What reward?"

Ye Chenghu said proudly and loudly: "My dad said that if I score two 100s, he will take me to the city to play."

"No wonder Ahai has been asking his dad recently, saying that his third uncle has been running back and forth to the city, why didn't his dad go?"

"Ah Jiang is the same, always asking why his dad doesn't learn from his third uncle and go to the city to sell dried fish? Saying that everyone says his third uncle has made a lot of money..."

"Is this something his dad can earn? The boat at home still has to be opened. If you hire someone, you might not make money, and the things will be gone. Where is it as convenient as moving your mouth?"

"Just give it to his third uncle to collect. We save trouble and can make money without taking risks..." The second sister-in-law also said with spit flying.

"That is to say, where is it so easy to earn? It's so far away, running back and forth, don't you need travel expenses? Don't you need energy? Why do you just think about what others are doing, and he wants to do it too?"

"It is estimated that he also wants to go to the city. When he has time, he will have to be beaten. He dares to think about this. My mother hasn't been to the city yet, and she hasn't even been to the county seat."

When Ahai and the others heard Ye Chenghu's shouting, they also ran out to hear what they were talking about, but they heard that they were going to be beaten, and they suddenly shrank and shivered.

Ye Mu also said: "It's better not to take Chenghu, otherwise his heart will be wild after going once, and how can he still study well?"

Yes, that's right!

A group of children in the room nodded wildly.

Ye Chenghu widened his eyes and ran to Ye Yaodong, "Dad has already promised, he can't go back on his word. You can't lie to people. If you lie, your nose will grow long."

Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head lightly, "I won't go back on my word. I keep my word. If you score two 100s a few more times, I will take you a few more times, making others envious to death."

Ye Chenghu was happy, "Good."

"Let's go, go home and sleep."

"Hmm."

He nodded heavily and followed his dad home with Ye Chengyang on his left and right. A large group of children in the room behind looked at them, feeling envious to death.

Their mothers would only say that they would catch them and beat them. Third uncle is so good~

Everyone thought in their minds, "Why am I not third uncle's child, sigh~"

The next morning, before dawn, the winter day dawned late. At five o'clock, it was still pitch black outside. No one went out to sea at this time. In this way, the three of them walked on the road with flashlights.

In the village, going out to sea is either at two or three o'clock in the night, or after dawn. Walking to the pier, it was still quiet.

Ye Yaodong had already prepared everything the day before and put it on the boat. The oil was also added and prepared there. Today, they didn't need to prepare anything.

After using a bamboo pole to support the boat away from the shore, the boat also slowly accelerated.

Ye Yaosheng stood with Ye Yaodong and smiled: "My dad was indeed a bit long-winded yesterday. Don't mind it."

"Ah? It's nothing. It's normal for the second uncle to worry about you. Whoever's son is, whoever loves him, you are so hardworking and diligent, you will make a fortune sooner or later!"

"Hehe, I don't expect to make a fortune. Who knows if I have this life? Anyway, I can make a living, and life can go on."

"Definitely, life is lived by people." Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder.

"Dongzi, I want to ask if Ah Guang's boat is still for rent?"

"What's the matter? You want to rent it?"

He smiled, "Yes, I have always wanted to rent it. At first, I thought he wanted to keep a boat to drive himself. Later, I saw that he actually rented it to Haozi."

"Now that it has been taken back, I want to ask, do you still want to find someone to rent it? It has been raining for a while, and there is no chance to ask. I am definitely reliable, and I will definitely not hide anything..."

Ye Yaodong said with some difficulty: "I don't know if he still rents it? It should not be rented, right? It's spring now, and I am collecting dried fish now, and the income is okay. They must think that they can earn more by driving the boat themselves."

"Originally, a boat was already put out, so it shouldn't be put out again, unless they buy another one, or they don't want to do it. Uncle Pei wants to retire, so maybe."

Ye Yaosheng nodded, and the expression on his face was not very disappointed, which was expected.

"I know, I think so too."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong was also thinking that after he got the big boat, he couldn't take care of this boat, so he had to ask his dad to manage it. Then he would see if his dad wanted to drive it himself or learn from Ah Guang and the others.

If he learns from Ah Guang and the others to collect rent, he will ask Brother Brother Asheng to drive it. The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields. His dad can collect goods at home. Anyway, his dad is old.

"When the time comes, worship Mazu more. A person's luck will not always be bad, and it will always get better."

"Hmm... I hope so..."

When they were chatting, the sky also turned fish-belly white, the night was gradually dispelled, the vision was opened, and there was no need to use a flashlight.

As the sky gradually brightened, the three people on the boat discovered a small wooden boat drifting not far away, with a very similar shape, which could be recognized at a glance.

The eyes of the three people lit up.

"There is a boat!"

Ye Fu also hurriedly turned the boat's direction and sailed towards the small wooden boat.

There was no figure on it. It looked like it was ownerless. I don't know if it was lost, so only a small boat was drifting on the sea.

Ye Yaosheng said happily: "I didn't expect that as soon as I drove out, I could pick up a small wooden boat before I reached the place. The yellow paper that Uncle burned just now was not burned in vain."

"Get closer first and take a look."

Ye Yaodong was not as happy as him. He didn't know how long this boat had been drifting. Who knows if it was still useful?

As the fishing boat approached, Ye Fu also gradually slowed down. The two of them saw the fishing boat a step ahead of Ye Fu. Suddenly, goosebumps appeared on their bodies, and expressions of disgust appeared on their faces.

"Ugh~ what is that on it? Why is it so disgusting?" Ye Yaodong was extremely disgusted.

"I don't know, it will move. That long thing looks like a sand worm, but it shouldn't crawl on the boat. Sand worms grow on the beach. This looks quite disgusting."

Ye Yaosheng also looked at the dense things wriggling on it with extreme discomfort. Each one seemed to be a long earthworm, and it looked extremely disgusting.

It's also to blame for their good eyesight...

After Ye Fu saw it clearly from a distance, he also stopped, hesitating whether to approach. He also felt that the wriggling things on it were too disgusting.

He walked towards the two and shouted: "What is that on it? Did you see it clearly? Do you recognize it?"

"I don't know, it looks like the whole boat is full, scarier than the rocks on our shore... ah no, what grows on it should be barnacles." Ye Yaodong reacted instantly.

Ordinary insects can't survive in the sea. I don't know how long this boat has been drifting in the sea. It is normal to be attached by barnacles.

The whole boat is dense, and it is estimated that it is all kinds of barnacle shellfish.

Ye Yaosheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, "It should be right to grow barnacles, but what are those long meat strips that cover the barnacles and cover them tightly..."

"The meat of various barnacles?" Ye Fu also tended to believe that the wriggling meat strips were the tentacles of barnacles.

"It should be right. Take a closer look when you get close, but you don't need to get close. It has drifted over slowly with the wind and water."

"Then take a look first."

Ye Yaosheng said: "I'll go get a long hook. When it gets close, it will be convenient to hook it over."

"The long hook is in the corner over there."
