Chapter 772: People Died Again

After the meal, Ye Yaodong took the group of dogs to the small workshop empty space and handed them over to the two brothers-in-law, leaving only Da Heizi in the courtyard, and Xiao Heizi watching at the entrance of his eldest and second brother's place.

The vigilance of dogs is much stronger than that of people, and they are more useful than people, and their loyalty is also higher.

Sometimes believing in people is not as good as believing in dogs.

In the month of May, sleeping in the open air at night is not cold. Lying on a recliner, covering with a thin quilt, and lighting a mosquito coil at your feet, it is quite comfortable to be cool.

Although there are no insect chirps and bird calls in the fields to make people feel relaxed and happy, you can fall asleep smelling the salty sea breeze and listening to the surging waves.

Ye Yaodong was quite at ease handing over the work in the small workshop empty space to the two brothers-in-law.

His father-in-law's family was much more reliable than the two families of his eldest and second uncle. They were all material for hard work. Compared with his mother's side of the family, he felt they were a layer closer.

After notifying his father-in-law to send a trip of fish the next day, after they docked the next day, there was no worry about having no place to dry the squid. Moreover, with Ye Mu searching everywhere in the village, the small workshop at the construction site was enclosed with fishing nets under the busy work of the two brothers-in-law for a day.

Only on the side facing the beach, a door-hole-style opening was left for people to enter and exit.

It looked quite decent, and the small workshop had taken shape.

Since yesterday, as long as the villagers passed by here, they would basically stop and look.

Ye Yaodong and the others were the same.

Just returned from the sea, pushing a flatbed cart of goods home, looking at the empty space enclosed by fishing nets not far away from a distance, he felt very comforted.

Although it looked a bit crude, it was at least a new starting point, which was also pleasing.

Ye Yaodong felt the fatigue on his body swept away. When he pushed the flatbed cart to the front, he even stopped and looked inside. The salty and fresh smell of sea fish was rich and pungent.

The group of dogs at home smelled his familiar scent and flew over from the side, circling around his feet. Some even stood up on their hind legs and clawed at his thighs.

"Aiyo, go, go, go, you're in the way. Every day when you see me, you climb up."

"Go away, go play by yourselves."

His son and daughter weren't that happy to see him return, but these few dogs ran to him from all directions to give him a warm welcome every time they saw him go out and return.

After the group of dogs finished being excited, some rolled on the ground and followed at his feet, while others walked leisurely in the small workshop.

Ye Yaodong looked at the venue, touched the round scad that was already half-dried on the fishing net, and felt in his heart that transporting a cart over tomorrow morning would just be able to connect.

When notifying Boss Zhou to collect the goods in two days, while having him transport the first batch of 300-something jin of dried squid away, he could also ask if he wanted to transport these few hundred jin of round scad away in one trip. He guessed he would.

It didn't matter if he didn't want them. He could save two batches and send them to the city to replenish inventory, or send them to the troops.

The troops had also asked once before. Fearing losing this fixed big customer, he had scraped together and sent more than 1,000 jin of dried goods over.

Now he didn't worry about the source of goods, just worried about not having enough space to dry them. He was also worried that if he spread the stall too big all at once and it collapsed, he would have nowhere to cry. He still had to take it slow, be steady, and couldn't become a big fat man in one breath.

He touched this one, flipped through that one, and said, "These dried fish will be dried for another day, I guess it will be almost enough. The sun is big today, flip them over in the afternoon, and flip them over again tomorrow."

"You've worked hard, Eldest Brother and Ye Erge. After working for two days, you finally got this piece of land out. It looks quite decent, too efficient, doing things too fast."

Lin Xiang Hui smiled honestly. "These are all quite simple things. Weeding, cutting bamboo, planting bamboo, it doesn't take much effort. Two people working together, the speed is very fast."

Lin Xiangyang also smiled. "We are used to working normally, these jobs are very easy."

"Alright, next you still have to trouble you to take care of it more. It's already enclosed, and the racks are all set up. Next, just watch it and don't let people make trouble, it's also easy. If you have anything at home, just ride a bicycle back. It's fine during the day here, it's just that someone needs to watch at night."

"Alright, alright, we'll see the situation later. We have to go back every day or two to take a look, the crops at home also need to be served."

"I know, if you need to go back, just tell Aqing. The bicycles at home are all parked there, if you need to use them, just ride them back."

"Alright, alright."

After Ye Yaodong said a few polite words, he pushed the flatbed cart to the entrance of his home, and just like yesterday, weighed them first before slaughtering the squid.

The two boats of his eldest and second brother next door were also one after another with him. He finished transporting the goods, and the flatbed cart was immediately given to them to continue transporting goods.

Ye Chenghai sat at the entrance, swaying listlessly. "Sigh~"

"Ahai, is it peaceful over there these two days?"

"Peaceful, who is not peaceful?"

"Why haven't there been any fights this year? I feel so unaccustomed. Didn't they fight all the time last year?"

"Last year it seemed like the fishing season was early, everyone was caught off guard, and there were many fights for territory. This year, they have all finished fighting, right? Sigh, I don't know, none of my business."

Lin Guangyuan supported his chin and watched them busy weighing. "How many bags did you pick today?"

"Two bags."

"That's more than yesterday, what a pity~"

Heart-stabbing.

"I don't know if Third Uncle will have a sudden change of heart and reward me a little?"

"Don't your father and mother reward you?"

"Difficult, it's not as good as counting on Third Uncle. If Third Uncle were my father, that would be great!"

Lin Guangyuan also nodded seriously, also feeling that his uncle-in-law was good, generous, would buy them things to eat, and would take them to play.

Just as he finished nodding and wanted to speak, he was startled by a loud shout from the unintelligent Ye Chenghe.

"Mother, my eldest brother said he wished he were Third Uncle's son!"

Ye Chenghai jumped up in shock. "You damn thing, don't frame me!"

"Mother, look, eldest brother is scolding you!"

"Damn! You idiot, wait for me tonight!" Ye Chenghai looked at his mother's eye-daggers and ran away with his butt on fire.

Lin Guangyuan was stunned watching the two brothers. Do they hand out knives like this?

"Are you happy that your eldest brother is being beaten?"

Ye Chenghe chuckled. "If my eldest brother is beaten by my mother until his butt blossoms, then he can't go pick up squid. I can definitely replace him, so I don't have to go to school."

Lin Guangyuan: "..."

No wonder Ahai said his younger brother was unintelligent, so stupid, actually asking to be tied up. He had seen it today.

"You are so smart!"

Actually, what he wanted to say was that because Ahai had no oil to fish and had to do hard labor all day, he didn't want to go anymore.

"It's a pity he ran away," Ye Chenghe said with a face full of regret. "Cousin Ayuan, is it fun to pick up squid on the island? Are there many seagulls on the island? Are there seagull eggs to pick up? Are there many fish stranded? Are there sea turtles?"

"Chenghu has been raising that turtle for a long time, and I also want to raise a sea turtle. If I could go to the island and catch one to raise, that would be great. Then I could let them fight, and see if the river one is powerful or the sea one is powerful?"

"I saw fish, I didn't see sea turtles."

"I heard sea turtles come ashore to lay eggs at night. Let me tell you, Third Uncle picked up a big bucket of sea turtle eggs a few years ago, and they were delicious..."

Because of what he said, Lin Guangyuan's interest was piqued, and he was eager to try. "Then I'll pay attention at night?"

Ye Chenghai had just gone out for a stroll and ran back in a hurry, then shouted loudly, "I heard that a village near the town had people die. I heard several died all at once, and they were stabbed to death with sharpened sticks!"

"Ah, did it happen at sea?"

Everyone turned their heads curiously to ask.

"They said they didn't return yesterday. Last night, the family asked people in the village with boats to go out to sea to find them, but they couldn't find them. Today, someone saw floating corpses in the sea during the day, and only after they had the courage to fish them up did they find out it was the four of them, uncle and nephew, father and son, who didn't return yesterday."

Lin Guangyuan felt a chill. "So there really are fights."

"We didn't encounter them, and our village didn't have any, but that doesn't mean other places don't. It really was said by you."

Ye Mu walked behind and also came over to answer. "I just heard it when I came over from the old house. It's so miserable. I heard it was two brothers each bringing a son. Four died, and only two floated up. The other two weren't seen in the surrounding waters. Everyone said they would have to wait a month before they could be seen."

"So miserable! Four men in the family, all gone at once. What should they do?"

"Still have to give birth to a few more sons... too miserable..."

"Why do such things happen every year? Do you know who did it?"

"Who knows who did it? No one saw it at sea. After doing bad things, people ran away directly. Who would admit it? That family is too miserable, I don't know what kind of grudge they had."

"Sigh, maybe it's a conflict over catching squid? Wasn't the fishing season just yesterday?"

"It's possible. Sigh, every year, a few people have to disappear from the surrounding villages. If only they could move to the city to eat commodity grain, that would be great. They wouldn't have to do such dangerous things."

"Yes, who says it isn't? If they could go to the city to eat commodity grain, who would be willing to go out to sea to work?"

"I still thought the seaside was good, not afraid of having nothing to eat, and there are many jobs to earn money, and money comes fast. Looking at it this way, it's not as safe as our mountains, just farming, at most arguing with people, and then old and dead without interacting."

"Yes, it seems that our mountains are more peaceful. Poor is poor, but it's not so dangerous."

"Ah Dong has already earned so much money, can he move to the city to live? Didn't you buy a shop in the city? Can you move directly to the city to live? This way you don't have to go out to sea, and you don't have to take risks and worry."

Lin Xiuqing also looked at Ye Yaodong, listening to what the women and sisters-in-law around her said, and her heart also lifted. Going out to sea is indeed too dangerous.

Ye Yaodong, however, said: "This is our root. Relying on the mountains to eat from the mountains, relying on the sea to eat from the sea. Originally, everything has risks. If you walk on the road, a hailstone from the sky can smash a hole in your head." ===== CHAPTER 773 =====
