Chapter 897: Basking shark retreats

~14 min read 2,689 words

Their two boats were surrounded by those basking sharks and moved forward together. The fishing boats behind were also gathering more and more.

Many were scared when they met, and then followed at the end to see the situation.

Big Cousin and Brother Brother Asheng's boat were the first to discover the abnormal situation, and they followed for the longest time along the way.

After following for a long time, they didn't have the worry at the beginning. Instead, they comforted other fishing boats that came to ask about the situation.

In this way, the fishing boats behind gathered more and more, while there were only two boats and a group of big fish with their mouths open in front. A strange landscape formed on the sea surface.

When passing by the vicinity of the town's wharf and port, they were all stunned by the people on the shore and the people on the boat.

Some nosy people, seeing that there were so many boats falling behind, also deliberately drove the boat to follow, gathered with the boats that followed all the way, and planned to ask what was going on.

And the people on the wharf were constantly surging, all squeezing to the edge to watch. Some were squeezed off the edge and fell into the sea. Fortunately, most of them could swim, and there were many people on the shore who could swim.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that these basking sharks could follow all the way, follow so far, and cause such a big sensation along the way.

Ah Zheng felt that his decision was really right. Look, how glorious, he smiled and grinned, and waved at the people on the shore.

It's a pity that he didn't dock at the town's wharf, otherwise he would definitely be surrounded by a group of people asking about the situation.

Li Jianguo was surrounded by these basking sharks all the way. His originally panicked heart also calmed down slowly, feeling that being surrounded by these fish is not a big deal.

Although these fish have their mouths wide open and look scary, they are actually gentle as they said, and they don't attack them.

Moreover, there is a companion fishing boat on the side. The father and son of the neighboring boat are so calm, there is no reason for him to be afraid.

When passing by the town's wharf, looking at the boiling scene of people on the wharf, he was a bit proud, feeling quite glorious.

However, this situation did not last long. When they continued to move forward and gradually approached the coast, the two boats suddenly found that the basking sharks following on the side and behind were retreating.

In fact, they were moving forward, while the basking sharks were motionless, so it was obvious that they were retreating.

Ye Yaodong found it for the first time and understood. They should not be able to move forward anymore. The water level in front is too low.

He looked into the distance and found that the village was not far away, and he could see some buildings, and there were many small wooden boats floating on the sea surface.

These small wooden boats are now swinging and coming in their direction, and I guess they also found the anomaly and were curious.

Ah Zheng also leaned on the side of the boat with him, and he shouted and asked: "Dongzi? What's wrong, they can't move forward?"

"Yes, it should be that the water level is too shallow, they can't move forward anymore."

"Ah, what a pity, I still wanted to lead them to the shore."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and went to call his father to hand over the boat to him.

In fact, Ye Fu and Li Jianguo were relieved when they saw those basking sharks unable to move forward.

Although they didn't hurt them, they were surrounded by a group of big fish weighing at least seven or eight tons. Although they were not so afraid, it was best to keep a distance.

Not to mention that their blood basin mouths had never been closed. Anyone who saw it was a look of coveting. It was best for them to leave early.

Ye Fu didn't know what he was going to do, but seeing that he wanted to drive the boat, he handed the boat to him, but saw him turn around and linger on the sea surface, but didn't chase after him.

Ah Zheng looked at his actions and learned to take control of the fishing boat, which made his father curse, but he acted as if he didn't hear it, and followed Ye Yaodong's side.

"Dongzi, why did you turn back?"

"I'll take a look!"

There were dozens of boats following behind just now. Now that those basking sharks have retreated, those fishing boats should have dispersed, right?

He just wanted to see the spectacular scene behind, and by the way, see if those basking sharks really left, and if any were left behind.

However, looking at the sea surface, there were basking sharks floating on the sea surface, a bump, and fishing boats still watching in the distance. He couldn't find the injured one.

After watching for a while, seeing that some fishing boats in the distance had retreated, he also called Ah Zheng to dock together.

If there is none, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the harvest today is already very large.

"What are you looking at, always looking?"

"I'm looking at whether those basking sharks behind have all left, and whether the following fishing boats have also left."

After speaking, he followed his father's urging and drove the boat to the shore.

They are now less than ten minutes away from the shore, and they docked in no time.

After the sound of the diesel engine disappeared, it was convenient to talk.

Ah Zheng was full of excitement and was reluctant to unload the goods, "Damn, wait for me to go ashore and talk to those people and brag. However, I guess none of them will believe it."

"Definitely, I'll wash the photos and give them to you when the time comes, and you can slap them in the face."

"Yes, yes, there is evidence in the photo, when will you wash it."

"The film hasn't been used up yet, I guess there are still a few pictures, look at it in a few days, anyway, you can brag as you want, it's not called bragging, we are talking about facts!"

"Yes, it's a fact."

"Why don't you die and move the goods, what are you whispering about?" Li Jianguo urged.

Ah Zheng pouted, glared at the back of his father's head, and hummed a few times. He hadn't finished speaking yet.

Ye Yaodong saw that his father also started to unload the goods, and said: "I'm going to move the goods too, go to unload the goods first, I guess when the boats behind come in, they will ask questions again, and then I will send you up."

"Good good good..."

When the basking sharks left earlier, they kept a distance from the shore. People on the shore didn't know what happened, and they didn't see anything.

Therefore, they didn't attract much attention when they docked.

Plus, they came back early today, it was only past 4 o'clock, the sun had just slanted west and hadn't set yet, and there were not many people on the shore.

However, as soon as they carried a basket of goods down, a large row of fishing boats docked around, and the tide was just full at this time, which did not affect everyone's docking at all.

"Dongzi... Dongzi........."

"Ah Dong... Uncle..."

"Oh... Ah Zheng? What's going on with you just now?"

"What kind of fish are those? Why are they following you, and they just ran away?"

"Oh, each one is like a small mountain, is it a whale or a shark? This is too scary? Each mouth is open so big, those small boats can be swallowed directly."

"Dongzi said it's a basking shark, it doesn't attack people, and I don't know what's going on, it followed us all the way, obviously we didn't give them anything to eat..."

"It's magical..."

Ah Zheng nodded in agreement, "It's magical, just spinning around our boat. Dongzi said they just wanted to follow the fishing boat to ask for things to eat, but he didn't dare to feed, fearing that he would be followed all the way. Unexpectedly, they still followed all the way without anything to eat."

"Who dares to feed, such a big mouth, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by yourself."

"Yes, such a big mouth, you pour a boat of goods into it, it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth, not to mention those dozens of mouths, each body is higher than our house."

"Too scary, you are not afraid, and let them follow all the way."

"Isn't there no way? Can't shake off, we run in front, they follow behind, but fortunately they don't attack people."

Everyone nodded.

When they met at the beginning, all the boats were startled, thinking that they were finished, everyone was ready, and they were ready to save people after they jumped into the water. Unexpectedly, these big sharks were just playing.

A few scattered people on the shore, including a few at the collection point, didn't understand what they were talking about when they saw them surrounding, and asked one after another.

As a result, I didn't know if I didn't ask, and I was startled when I asked.

"Damn, really?"

"Really escorted back by a group of sharks?"

"It's a basking shark, it's okay." Ye Yaodong also emphasized, for fear that they would think those fish were terrible.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, if you can leave one, it should sell for a lot of money, right? That one has several tons."

"Can anyone want it? So big? The whole village pushes it and can't push it ashore, right? I guess at most, like the sea monster before, it will be sent away to be made into a specimen?"

"Then forget it, it only rewards 50 yuan..."

"50 yuan is still too little? No one wants it. If people look at it and take it away and give you 50 yuan, it's already good. If you don't give it, it will only rot in your hands, and there is not even 50 yuan. At least it is a month's salary for a worker."

Some people nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let everyone make way. Anyway, you have seen the situation at sea just now, so I don't need to say it. Let's unload the goods first."

"Haven't said how to meet..."

"Oh? Your barracuda is quite big?"

Everyone saw the basket they carried down, and instantly their attention was diverted, and they didn't hold on to the basking sharks that had run away.

After all, those who have seen it have seen it, and those who haven't seen it can't imagine it. Anyway, when they enter the village later, there are plenty of opportunities to talk about it.

Some people ran to Ah Zheng and asked how they met the basking shark.

Ah Zheng said happily that he met Dongzi halfway, and then curiously approached, so the two boats were surrounded together.

How to ask is still to ask him.

Ye Yaodong is very busy, Big Cousin and Brother Brother Asheng also ran over to help him unload the goods first.

However, when unloading the goods, they were also itchy and asked, how did they meet?

Obviously, when they separated, it was still good.

As a result, when they found the anomaly and went over, their souls were scared away. Following behind, their hearts were also raised to their throats, and they were also scared to death, but fortunately nothing happened.

Ye Yaodong also told them while moving the goods. The others who were chatting on the side also heard it, and were even more envious.

It turned out that not only did they meet the basking shark, but also the herring school, and then encountered the barracuda school. No wonder the baskets carried down were all barracudas.

Encountering three kinds of fish schools in succession is too lucky, but the basking shark school is a bit scary. It is best not to encounter it if you don't need to.

Everyone was whispering there after knowing the ins and outs, thinking so. However, no one asked him anymore, just chatting happily.

However, there are also people from other villages nearby, just met at sea, curiously docked, and got off the boat to see what was going on?

After chatting for a while, knowing the ins and outs, a few climbed onto the boat and drove back to their village's wharf.

It is estimated that it won't be long before today's matter can spread to the nearby ten miles and eight villages.

However, what happened today is indeed worthy of becoming a topic of conversation for everyone, and it is estimated that it can be said for a few days.

The barracuda he caught today, in addition to the six or seven hundred jin caught in the muddy water when it was fighting with the basking shark, also caught a net when returning, and also caught a net when encountering the basking shark.

Although the miscellaneous goods dragged up in the last two nets were not many, there were nearly 800 jin. The most important thing is that they are big, occupying the scale.

After weighing, it sold for 322 yuan, 5 cents, and 7 cents, plus other miscellaneous goods, totaling more than 350.

The other boat also sold for 38 yuan and 2 cents and 3 cents. After deducting oil money and wages, this boat also earned 20 yuan net.

Great.

Ye Yaodong was extremely satisfied with today's harvest. This year, the price of fish cargo is generally a little higher than last year. I feel that the economy has improved in the past few years, and things have begun to rise in price.

"How much money? How much did you sell?" Ye Fu looked at his smiling appearance and asked hurriedly.

He and Big Cousin and the others were still moving herring and miscellaneous fish down from the boat, Brother Brother Asheng was moving on the boat, and they were receiving below.

The flatbed cart was already full, and two baskets were stacked.

A few days ago, during the typhoon, his father was idle and knocked, so he added height to the edge of the flatbed cart. The flatbed cart shared by his eldest brother and second brother was the same, and they were also added height with wooden boards.

This way, more goods can be loaded, saving the need to tie and fix with ropes every time it is stacked high.

In fact, his flatbed cart was bought from a carpenter after he moved. And because his eldest brother and second brother rented his father's boat, the flatbed cart at home was also used by them, and now it is almost considered to belong to them.

Ye Yaodong didn't care at all. It's just a small thing, and it doesn't cost much money. It doesn't matter. If you can add it yourself, just buy it yourself. If you are too calculating, you don't have to live.

He didn't feel that his father and mother were biased. If he really wanted to say bias, he was the first to be biased at the beginning.

After all, he was the weak one at the beginning.

Now, they want to be biased towards the two older brothers, and he feels it is very normal for the balance of the heart to tilt towards them. Anyway, he doesn't care about what his father and mother have.

He already has a lot.

At present, his father and mother are helping him. Although it is said to be wages, they are all actually working for him. ===== CHAPTER 898 =====
