Chapter 706

~11 min read 2,029 words

The boat was empty. Except for basic common tools, there was nothing. No cargo, and no people.

Obviously, they were not out fishing.

"Didn't see anything, right? There's nothing strange on the boat. Look at how curious you are. Don't worry about them. Why do you keep thinking about what they are doing on the island? We just need to avoid them a little bit."

"Isn't it because we are about to start catching squid? If they go to the island every day, how can we catch squid? Wouldn't this be making wedding clothes for them, catching everything in one net?"

"That's really..."

Ye's father also frowned and struggled. He almost forgot about this.

"If we want to find another small island, it's really not easy to find. We can only run to a further sea area."

The ones around the coast are all small wooden boats. If we want to find more, we can only go to a further sea area, but it's not that easy to find a suitable desert island in the further ones.

Moreover, the squid fishing season is also unique to this area during that period, just like the jellyfish fishing season is in the Fujian-Zhejiang border area, and the shrimp skin fishing season is in the Zhoushan area.

Some fishing boats don't encounter suitable ones, so they just trawl. However, there are few direct trawls. If you look carefully, you can always find them. The main thing is that there are few trawlers these days.

Ten years later, when there are more trawlers, squid will slowly not be able to form a fishing season, and can only be caught by trawling, unlike now, where it is easily caught casually.

"It's just that I don't know how long they will stay on the island like this? If they leave in a few days, then don't worry about them."

"These pests are really annoying. I heard that a lot of people were caught and sent in last year, and many were shot. The newspapers published it, and the radio has been playing it. Why didn't they catch them all? This notorious island, no one manages it."

Everything said now is useless. If it didn't harm their own interests, it had nothing to do with them, and they were too lazy to manage it. But now it makes people feel like there is a fish bone in their throat. If they don't figure out the truth, he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Dad, why don't I sneak onto the island to take a look?"

Ye's father glared at him, "What are you thinking? When I saw it at night, I knew there was more than one person on the island. If you are discovered, you will be beaten half to death. Not allowed to go."

"Besides, we are quite familiar with this island. Except for the bit of beach that can be exposed at low tide in front, the other four sides are high reefs. Where is it so easy to climb?"

"Not allowed to go, not allowed to go, let's go back, they might not come in a few days."

"Let's go, let's go, don't look, take advantage of the fact that it's not dark yet, go back early..."

Ye's father patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up and sail back.

"No, this can't just stand and watch. They are blocking my way to wealth. Hey? Take advantage of the fact that they haven't come down the mountain, and the boat is left there, let's sail it away?"

Ye Yaodong said, and his eyes lit up, "Right, sail their boat away. Anyway, it's all ill-gotten wealth. This way, without a boat, they won't come."

Kill many birds with one stone!

"Ah? Sail their boat away?" Ye's father was a bit moved when he heard it, but he felt that the boat was too big and too valuable...

The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the more feasible he felt it was, "Go go go, sail their boat away. Just take advantage of the fact that they haven't come down the mountain, let them call heaven and heaven won't answer, call earth and earth won't answer. Anyway, they are not good people, just treat it as robbing the rich to help the poor."

"But if such a big boat is sailed back to the village..."

"We linger at sea for a while, wait until it's dark, and then dock. At that time, the vision is blurred, no one knows. We will park it directly on the beach, let it run aground at night, and then paint over the logo on the boat overnight."

"If the villagers ask during the day, we will say we bought it the day before. Isn't that it? It's normal to repaint a newly bought boat."

"People in the surrounding area hate them to death, wishing they were all caught and shot. And Luzhoudao is not close to us, it takes one or two hours to ride a bicycle. Who would know? They wouldn't even guess that we would be so bold, they would only think I have money."

Anyway, everyone in the village knows he has money now, and it is rumored that he made a lot of money selling dried fish, so it is reasonable to buy another boat.

On the way back, clean up the boat, throw things that should be thrown into the sea, and destroy the evidence.

These people are pirates, often robbing others openly and plundering other people's boats. He has no psychological burden at all. As long as he sails the boat away quickly, they won't be able to discover it.

Ye's father was a bit hesitant. If it was a small thing, they would rob it if they robbed it. For such a big boat, he was always a bit afraid.

He had never done such a bold thing. He was just an ordinary honest fisherman. In the past, he at most took advantage of small things. This boat worth several thousand yuan...

"The bold are supported, the timid are starved. What are you afraid of? Go over and take a look. Anyway, it's still early before dark. If the situation is not right, we will give up."

"You put on the sun hat that Aqing made for you before, just exposing your eyes. If you are really discovered, no one will recognize us. Anyway, if the situation is not right, we will sail the boat and run."

Ye Yaodong didn't wait for his father to speak, and took the first step to sail the boat over. It happened that he had been steering the boat, not his father, otherwise he would have been delayed to death if he waited for his father to agree.

Ye's father saw that the boat had sailed over quickly. He was a bit uneasy, but also very tempted. He couldn't say anything to stop it, so he had to maintain a default attitude.

Look first, wait until you get close, try to see if you can sail the boat away, if you can...

Just thinking about it, his heart was thumping wildly...

It was too exciting. He had never done such an exciting thing in his life.

Fighting with people at sea, he didn't feel it was as exciting as this time. After all, the boat is the biggest of the big items.

Dongzi is too bold.

As the fishing boat gradually approached the island, Ye's father's heartbeat became faster and faster, sounding like a drum.

"Dong... Dongzi..."

"Hmm, Dad, I see they are still on the mountain, haven't come down yet, and no figures can be seen on the boat. In a while, I will bring the two boats close, climb over, and you get ready. If I start their boat, you also hurry up and sail our boat away."

"Hey good... good..."

Seeing that the two boats were almost together, Ye's father could only respond weakly.

These people from Luzhoudao definitely didn't expect that they would be pecked by a goose after hunting geese all day.

Ye Yaodong was also very nervous in his heart. He had never done this kind of thing either, just that his brain turned just now, and he felt that he couldn't let these people come to the island every day, so he had to find a way to stop them.

Blocking his way to wealth is one thing. If they really found any gold mines, what would happen?

I don't know what they are looking for on the island. After so many days of rain, they couldn't wait to go to the island as soon as it cleared up. There must be something good...

Seeing the two boats together, he couldn't care about thinking too much.

"Dad, you watch, I'll climb over."

"Hey, good, then... then you... you be careful..."

Ye's father had never done this kind of thing. He couldn't even speak clearly. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his eyes kept looking at the mountain frequently, for fear that someone would appear.

Ye Yaodong also started to have a faster heartbeat, but the arrow was already on the string, so forget it.

After climbing onto the other party's boat, he first walked around the boat, opened the cabin to take a look, and found that there was no one and nothing wrong, so his heart was at ease.

Then he immediately pulled up the anchor, used a long bamboo pole to open the distance between the fishing boat and the reef, started the boat, and then turned the boat head.

Ye's father's heart was about to jump to his throat. He had been keeping watch there, and his eyes were about to poke a hole in the mountain. Seeing him turn the boat head smoothly, he also immediately followed and turned the boat head.

The two boats sailed towards the middle of the sea in the distance one after another, and the people on the boat also kept turning their heads frequently to look behind them from time to time.

Finding that it was calm behind them and no one appeared, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't dare to relax, didn't dare to stop, and continued to sail quickly into the distance, running as far as possible.

It wasn't until Ye Yaodong felt that they had run far enough that he stopped.

At this time, he also discovered that his palms were full of sweat, and his back was full of sweat, even though the sea breeze was so strong.

"Hoo~ Damn it, I was scared to death, it was too exciting, I have never done such an outrageous big thing."

While speaking, he also took off the sun hat he was wearing, grabbed the cloth covering his face, and wiped his face and forehead hard.

Then he turned his head and walked towards the boat that was also slowing down and approaching.

"Dad..."

"Ouch, scared me to death, next time I can't do this kind of thing again, I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my throat, covered in sweat."

Ye's father was the same as his action, took off the sun hat he was wearing, wiped his face hard with the cloth on it, and then threw the hat into the corner, his chest rising and falling uncertainly while speaking.

He wasn't used to wearing this, it was so uncomfortable to hide his head and show his face.

"It's okay, there shouldn't be any boats at sea, I guess they all returned. I'll tidy up the things on this boat first, and throw away anything with marks."

"Good good good, you tidy up first, let's just float in the middle of the sea, and sail back when it's dark." Ye's father's nervous breath hadn't been smoothed out yet.

Ye Yaodong gathered the things on the boat together, threw what should be thrown, and even threw the buckets and bamboo baskets into the sea. They all had marks, and he didn't feel it was a pity.
