Chapter 916: Stop the boat to rest (Two-in-one 7200)
A Guang could only stare at the sole fish in his hand.
However, fortunately, he still had a simple hand line to fish. If he didn't let him play, he wouldn't play.
Looking at A Zheng on the opposite side who could only stare, his heart instantly balanced again. Anyway, he was already stronger than the one on the opposite side, better than the top but worse than the bottom. This was the benefit of being on the right boat.
A Guang held a doll, and with the other hand held two iron toy cars, and started to be proud again.
He also waved his two hands at A Zheng on the opposite side again, and then, under his staring eyes, turned around and took these things into the cabin, hiding them in his luggage bag.
After coming out, he casually grabbed a shrimp, hung it on the fishhook, and leaned over to Ye Yaodong's side to fish with him.
And the other fishermen also each held their own fishing lines, and separately took a bucket or basket to stand in separate positions, and had already started fishing.
"Dongzi, how much does a fishing rod like the one in your hand cost?"
"You want to buy one?"
"I just asked casually."
"One or two hundred or two or three hundred? Why don't you go to the Taiwan goods store and ask?"
"Who has nothing to do and runs there to look at this thing? Only a ghost would buy it. Such an expensive thing, it's about the same if you give it to me."
"Then why are you asking for a fart."
"Isn't this curious? Rich people are really willing to spend. How did their family become so rich in just a few years?"
"After fighting the landlords, isn't it necessary to return it? Didn't they originally have overseas relations? Still afraid of having no money? The government is supporting them."
"That's also true," A Guang thought thoughtfully, "Maybe it's also a smuggling king. After all, overseas relations are also ready-made. The box we just fished out of the water should also be smuggled goods, right?"
"That's hard to say. For uncertain things, it's better not to talk nonsense."
"It's a pity, the boat is always moving, and I don't know where it was caught. If the water is not deep, we can still swim down and look for it again to see if there is any?"
"Dreaming, being able to catch one is already luck. That box of goods is also worth several hundred yuan."
"Just thinking about it, of course, I have to think about it better."
Some people chatted while fishing together, and they took turns getting goods. There were fish of several jin, and there were also one or two jin. In general, the fish they caught were relatively large.
Green mountains and green waters, fish are fat and beautiful.
Industry has just started, the sea area has not been polluted, everything is still green, pure and natural.
However, when the two were chatting and fishing, they saw A Zheng on the diagonal opposite side reeling in the line, and he actually caught a broken crystal shoe.
"Oh my, plastic shoe? Ah? Hahaha~"
"Wow hahahaha, oh, motherfucker, he actually caught a broken shoe!"
"Hahaha, this is called a crystal shoe, you don't know shit!"
It is that kind of transparent plastic shoe for women. Many middle-aged women and elderly people in the village also have it. It is basically the kind that can't be worn out, especially popular and especially popular with women.
"Hahaha, anyway, they are all shoes, all collectively referred to as broken shoes! Just now you laughed at me for catching a broken shoe, hahaha, it seems that it was said backward, it should be A Zheng."
"Hahahaha, I just said it casually, didn't expect it to really come true, and it came true on him."
A Zheng's face turned black. He really wanted to take scissors and cut the fishing line. It was too shameful. He felt like he was going to be laughed at for 50 years.
However, this was a thick needle he found from the toolbox his father prepared on the boat, and he temporarily knocked it into a bend with a hammer to use as a fishhook. If he cut it directly with scissors, he would have nothing to play with later.
He glared fiercely at the two damaging friends who were laughing at him endlessly. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he saw their expressions of laughing at him while pointing.
Really wanted to tell his father to slow down and stay behind, not to face them.
His father saw him jumping and shouting in front, and slowed down the boat, but he urged to catch up with Dongzi's boat, so he kept the appearance of keeping pace.
This time he regretted it.
Damn!
It was a pity that they saw it. After getting off the boat, they would definitely be laughed at fiercely.
Damn it, don't know who was so wicked to throw shoes into the sea.
He cursed the ancestors of the person who threw the shoe in his heart, while swinging the fishing line back and forth, trying to shake off the crystal shoe hooked.
However, the fishhook was curved and hooked into the gap of the crystal shoe, swinging and shaking, a bit difficult.
This made him jump with anger again, but he didn't want to reach out and touch the shoe. Who knew if it was a living person's or a dead person's? It would be unlucky to touch it.
But he didn't want to ask someone to help him take a stick to pick it off. He was afraid of being laughed at by other fishermen on the boat. Helplessly, he had to continue reeling in the line.
After reeling it in close, he carefully held the top end of the hook with two fingers, then tilted it, and the crystal shoe immediately fell back into the sea.
After doing these things, he looked up and glared at the two. If he were on the same boat as them, he would definitely take off his rain boots, take off his two smelly socks, and stuff one into each of their mouths.
Let them laugh so brightly!
Ye Yaodong and A Guang looked at his angry little eyes and laughed even more happily. They also felt very sorry that people were not on the boat. If they were all on one boat, it would be more interesting.
Friends are meant to be damaged.
The fishermen on their boat also heard the noise of their laughter and thought they had caught some good goods, but they were just laughing there, but didn't know what they were laughing at. After glancing at them, they continued fishing on their own.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang also stopped laughing while taking turns getting goods.
And A Guang also forgot to take turns with Ye Yaodong while fishing, and played with a hand line in his hand for one or two hours before remembering.
However, it didn't matter. He felt that fishing with a hand line was also quite fun. Except for the big fish of several jin being a bit painful to the hands and not easy to pull, the others were fine.
Mainly, it would also catch fish, and there was a special sense of satisfaction after catching fish, so he wouldn't be obsessed with having to use a fishing rod.
Fishing is a process, and fish are just one of the results proving this process. How to fish is not very important.
Ye Yaodong didn't fish all the time. The sea breeze in the hot day was cool and made people lazy.
Last night, thinking about leaving for one or two months, he had a fierce battle with his wife. He woke up in a daze in the middle of the night and did it again, handing over all the public food. He climbed up early in the morning when the sky was just bright, and he was a bit sleepy now.
Don't know how many hours he slept in total last night. He estimated that he didn't sleep for long. After all, he chatted with A Qing for a long time before lying down to sleep.
Ye Yaodong took out the watch in his pocket and looked at it. It was already 2 o'clock, and he didn't know when he would arrive. He felt that the wind direction had also shifted a bit, not as favorable as before.
He handed the fishing rod to A Guang. "Play with it, I'm going to sleep for a while, too sleepy."
"Too tired last night, right?"
"I am physically strong, what is that bit of physical labor? It's just that I got up too early."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about him, took out his mat, spread it on the deck, and lay down directly.
There were also two fishermen on the side sleeping there. It was estimated that they fished for a while, felt it was boring, or didn't catch anything, so they were sleepy and just slept, not fishing.
Except for Chen Shi, the other fishermen on this boat were not familiar to him, including the two uncles, he was not familiar with them either. Anyway, they were all experienced fishermen called by his father. The other boat was still steered by the big cousin and A Sheng.
The ones on that boat were relatively young, basically his cousins, but there was an extra A Fan.
This time it wasn't his big aunt who jumped up and down to ask for it, but A Fan ran to his father and volunteered, asking his father to give him a chance to follow and work.
Anyway, he was also a nephew. His father nodded directly. After all, he had grown up watching A Fan before, and they had lived together before. His father also felt that besides his parents being unreliable, others looked quite honest. After all, he was also a nephew.
Ye Yaodong didn't care. Anyway, his father nodded, so many fishermen, one more wouldn't hurt.
The fishing boat swayed and moved forward on the sea. The sea breeze blew the sunshade above his head, making a rustling sound, mixed with the sound of waves and the sound of diesel engine operation, making him feel noisy and familiar.
He closed his eyes, relaxed his body and mind, accompanied by the unique symphony, the familiar salty sea smell permeated the tip of his nose, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he even snored lightly.
A Guang and A Zheng faced each other, as if competing, neither of them stopped. Whenever they caught a big fish, they would excitedly hold it up to show each other and show off fiercely.
They played happily, so they didn't pay attention to the passage of time. Anyway, they didn't need to do anything or help with anything.
The fishing boat shuttled on the vast sea, thousands of sails competing, and the journey was like a flowing scroll.
They passed through busy port piers, where people were noisy and goods were piled up like mountains; they also slid past lush mountains and forests, with towering cliffs; and sailed past quiet villages, where houses were scattered.
Until the sun slanted to the west and was about to fall to the other side of the mountain, they suddenly came back to their senses. The sun was about to set? Then it must be past 6 o'clock?
And the fishermen on the boat were also discussing whether to cook dinner on the boat? Or wait until docking before cooking.
Even A Guang and A Zheng had no mood to continue fishing.
Ye Yaodong also woke up before the sun set. He didn't join their fishing team, but stood beside his father, paying attention to the surrounding sea area and the fishing boats behind him.
It was already this time, and it should be almost there. His spirit was highly concentrated, always watching the changes in the surrounding environment, and occasionally discussing a few words with his father, about where they were?
"Should already be on the edge of Fujian Province, it should take less than an hour to reach the Zhejiang-Fujian border. Then sail forward for two hours, and it should be almost time to reach the sea area where we caught last year."
"That's not slow. With so many boats together, setting off at 7 o'clock in the morning, it takes about thirteen or fourteen hours to arrive."
"Hmm, today it sailed a bit slower."
"Two days have passed, it is estimated that the number of jellyfish on the sea should also increase, right?"
"Pay attention when sailing forward later. I also saw one or two floating just now, but there are many fishing boats behind, so it's not convenient to stop. Anyway, it's just one or two."
Jellyfish move day and night, but they like to float on the water surface when it is hot, especially during the fishing season, they will float up.
Jellyfish have a developed water pipe system and sensitive sensory organs, so they can make vertical movements in different water layers.
In the calm dawn and evening, cloudy days often swim to the upper layer of the water area; strong winds, heavy rain, rapid currents, scorching sun, and nights often swim to the lower layer of the water area.
After the father and son estimated the approximate time of arrival, the two discussed whether to find a desert island or stop by the shore first?
"Everyone's boats are following behind, and there has been no communication along the way. Anyway, it should be about two more hours. It's almost at the border now. Find a place to stay and cook."
"By the way, take a rest, and gather others together to talk about it. Otherwise, they are also confused and don't know when they will arrive."
"Tell them so they have a number in their hearts and can prepare early. If we encounter jellyfish groups later and suddenly stop, it won't be abrupt. This must also be told to them."
"After all, last year, not long after we sailed into the range of Zhejiang Province, we really encountered jellyfish groups, and when we docked, we slaughtered them at the same time."
Ye Fu felt that what he said made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement directly.
It is necessary to gather together and tell them about the situation, saving them from being confused.
"Fine, then I'll look for it while sailing forward to see if there is a suitable isolated island or a shore suitable for docking."
"Hmm, by the way, we also tell them that when the time comes, we can hold together. Just at the desert island where we stayed until the end last year, see if we can find it? If we can find it, we will use it as a gathering point. If we can't find it, we will change to another one."
Ye Fu nodded again.
Ye Yaodong continued: "If we go out to catch during the day, we don't have to go in and out together. After all, the payload of each boat is different. Just go out to catch separately, which also saves exposing the natural sea trench we found last year."
"If there is anything to buy, wait until the evening when selling jellyfish, buy it by the way, and then replenish fresh water. Anyway, this year we are the same as the later stage of last year. When the time comes, we will choose to receive goods at the town, so we don't have to deal with people from other villages, avoiding people being jealous."
Ye Fu continued to nod. He was steering the boat, and his ears were full of the sound of machines, so he didn't speak if he didn't have to.
Ye Yaodong saw that his father could listen and had no opinion, so he went to tell those fishermen that they were probably on the border of Fujian Province and it would take more than two hours to reach the destination.
Let them use the coal stove on the boat to cook some noodles simply first, cook a few more pots, and eat in turns. Just deal with it like this today.
Early in the morning, everyone brought lunch rations, so there was no need to cook at noon. The tea on the boat was also cooked in two large buckets in advance and brought to the boat early in the morning. These were ready-made, so it was very easy to deal with at noon.
Knowing that they would arrive in two hours, the fishermen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Drifting at sea for 12 consecutive hours is not the same as working for 12 consecutive hours, and they didn't know how far the destination was, so they felt quite bottomless, and they were more worried about safety and had worries about the unknown.
Now that they had hope, one by one looked much more active and had much more spirit.
A Guang was actually quite at ease, but he had been rushing on the road without stopping, and he would also feel tired psychologically. Hearing that he would arrive in two hours, he also cheered up.
Leaning over to Ye Yaodong's side, he said: "Then when we arrive, it will be dark, and it won't be eye-catching, and it won't attract the attention of surrounding villages."
"Yes."
Even if they sleep on an isolated island and don't approach the village, the surrounding villages will definitely know. So many boats staying on the isolated island at the same time, passing boats will definitely be curious and will also pay attention.
However, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's a desert island. They can also take turns changing. Occasionally, if the weather is not good and not suitable for fishing, they can also go to the town's guest house to stay for a day or two.
Methods are thought of by people. Can a living person be suffocated by urine?
"Don't know if my father's boat has returned? This trip has been too long. Adding today, it's already the 7th day."
"Before the typhoon, it only went twice. After the typhoon, this is the first time. After all, it's a new boat just bought. Uncle Pei is greedy and wants to take advantage of the typhoon just passing to stay for a few more days, which is normal. Anyway, we will wait here for him."
"I'm worried that the sea area is so big, afraid he won't meet us, and there's no way to call. Not traveling together is so inconvenient."
"There's no way. Don't think about it. If it goes smoothly this year, the fishing season should be longer than last year. Even if we haven't been together and haven't met, the Fengshou won't suffer. Such a big boat, and there are so many more people on the boat."
"Hmm, hope my father has already set off. That way, as long as it's one night, he can arrive tomorrow morning."
"That's still not good. Sailing at night is not that safe, and we have to cross provinces. Uncle Pei has just returned from the outer sea, so it's best to rest well for a day, recharge, and set off the next day."
A Guang also felt that what he said made sense.
"Later, will our father dock directly at the town pier? It's dark, and I don't know if there is any place with a public phone to call here. Just call back to report safety, and also leave a message for my father."
"Find a sea island to stay first, and then go to the town to see if there is any shop that can call. If not, we will go to the border defense station or the police station here to call."
"Go to the border defense station or the police station to call?" A Guang looked at him incredibly. "You can think of it."
People now are generally afraid of entering the police station or entering the border defense station. It sounds scary. Who would go to this kind of place if they didn't commit a crime? He was a bit impressed by Ye Yaodong's lack of taboos.
Can you think of going to the police station to call?
However, thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable. Since there is no place to call at night, asking the police station for help doesn't seem to be wrong?
Ye Yaodong was full of calmness. "What's this? The People's Liberation Army is the public servant of the people, serving the people wholeheartedly. These are all their slogans. We are inconvenient when we go out, so it's normal to ask the public servants for help, right?"
"Fine, everything you say is right!"
"However, ordinary people seem to be quite taboo about going to the police station for nothing. Like this, let's find a guest house to see if we can dock at the town pier later. The guest house should be able to let us call. If it doesn't work, we will go to the police station."
"Fine, listen to you!"
"Sigh, there are too many people brought, inconvenient. If it were just our few boats, we would go directly to the guest house on the first night, how convenient? And comfortable."
"No choice, they were all brought. If we didn't bring them, it wouldn't work. They are all fellow villagers. When going out to break through, everyone begs you to bring them, so you can only bring them."
"Hmm, sit down and rest for a while, wait for my father to find a place to dock first."
Ye Yaodong returned to the position where he spread the mat, sat down, patted the open space beside him, and greeted A Guang to sit down and wait together, and by the way, wait for dinner.
In front of them, three ropes had been hung above the edge of the boat at this time, and the ropes were full of meat pomfret they had marinated and dried in the afternoon, swinging back and forth with the sea breeze.
He also brought a few shrimp cages on this trip. When the time comes, he will put them in the vicinity of the isolated island, so he won't worry about having no fish to eat with rice every day.
Otherwise, when they are really busy, they will catch jellyfish back and forth three times a day, and where will they have time to specifically trawl for seafood to eat.
After the experience last time, they prepared very fully for this trip. Before setting off, the two of them had already gathered the whole family to discuss it.
The consumption of nearly a hundred people every day was very amazing, but they only had to manage the food and drink of their own few boats.
The workers on the boat worked very neatly. They were all old fishermen who were used to working. After a while, the smell of pasta floated on the boat. Ye Yaodong let others eat first.
Too many people, the pot was too small, no choice, could only eat in turns like this. After arriving at the gathering point, it would be easy, and they could cook in a pot.
He temporarily brought the big pot from home. Anyway, his mother hadn't cooked for a long time, and that pot was idle there. Yesterday, when he went to town, he also forgot to buy a pot, so he could only take the pot from home to top it up.
After a simple full meal, Ye Fu shouted at other fishing boats, "I'll sail slowly first, remember to follow."
Didn't care if people had finished eating. Anyway, sailing didn't affect eating, and they didn't need them to recognize the way. There were always free people who could help steer and follow.
The helmsmen on other fishing boats also responded loudly.
Just like this, the fishing boat slowly retreated from the shore and moved forward slowly, and other boats also retreated one after another to follow.
After Ye Fu docked near a reef on the shore, the fishing boats behind had long been reminded and also slowed down and slowly approached and docked.
A Zheng was more active than anyone else. As soon as he docked, he crawled over for the first time.
"Oh my, motherfucker, finally arrived, sat to death."
"Too useless, this can also sit to death?" A Guang laughed and mocked.
"Get lost, you two are cool when you are together, and you have company when you talk, but I was scolded by my father constantly, fortunately I couldn't hear it."
"Not arrived yet, just looking at the meal time, and there was no communication along the way. It will be fast soon, it will be dark when we arrive, just take advantage of the fact that the sky is still bright to gather everyone to talk about the situation. And we also encountered a few jellyfish when we came over just now. It is estimated that we will encounter them later." Ye Yaodong interrupted and said a sentence.
A Zheng nodded actively, "Right, I also saw jellyfish just now, but it's so small, it's light blue, and it's quite good-looking."
"Hmm, it will definitely be more and more as the fishing season approaches. Anyway, rest at night, and we can start fishing tomorrow morning. It will definitely not be much at first. Anyway, look at the situation tomorrow. Everything said now is empty talk."
Both nodded.
In just a short while, Xiao Xiao also crawled over. The 4 people gathered together, not saying anything else, first pulled a cigarette each and smoked it first.
He was also regretting there. If he had known, he would have also boarded Dongzi's boat. Anyway, it was the same whether he was on his own boat or not. One more wouldn't hurt, one less wouldn't hurt. It made him bored to death alone.
Having company together, even if it was a boring thing like sitting on a boat, it would become interesting, not to mention that they were all people who would find fun for themselves.
When Xiao Xiao crawled over, the fishing boats docked one after another. The big men around were all shouting and asking questions there.
Ye Fu also shouted at them, letting them come over first, and talk about the situation when people were gathered.
Saving one question and saying it once, if they asked continuously, they would have to say it dozens of times, endlessly.
The four people saw that more and more people were crawling over, so they retreated to the edge and stood, throwing the cigarette butts into the sea.
Their movements were also very unified, leaning against the side of the boat, two arms bent and resting on the side of the boat behind them, listening to Ye Fu talk about where the current position was approximately, and how far from the destination?
And what Ye Yaodong told him just now, he also told everyone again.
Ye Yaodong also whispered with his small group.
"Anyway, listen to you, whatever you say, we will do."
"Yes, then take a rest, and continue on the road later. It is estimated that when we arrive, it will be dark."
"Sigh, Dongzi? When did you catch the fish? Rushing on the road like this, you can still trawl? Is it throwing a net?" Xiao Xiao looked up, looking at the dried fish hanging on the top, asking curiously.
"Throwing a net, there is a basket of fish there, we fished when we were bored in the afternoon, and caught quite a lot, plus other fishermen also fished a basket."
Xiao Xiao stared. "You still fished in the afternoon!?"
A Zheng was also proud. "Right, I also fished, but it's a pity that I couldn't crawl over without stopping the boat, but I also let my father follow closely, just sailing beside them, and also fished with them, I also fished a basket."
"Damn, my old boat has insufficient horsepower and can only fall behind."
"Anyway, it can sail."
"No, I'll stay on your side later, let my father steer the boat and follow behind."
A Zheng also agreed very much, "I also let my father steer the boat and follow behind. Anyway, one more wouldn't hurt, one less wouldn't hurt. It's the same with or without me. It will only be two more hours later."
"Follow your convenience, just don't regret it later."
"Regret what?" The three asked in unison.
Ye Yaodong looked at them playfully. "Because we might encounter more jellyfish later. When the time comes, we might slow down and catch while walking. If you all follow my boat, then what you catch will be mine!"
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
After they were surprised, they shook their heads hurriedly.
"Then forget it, each on their own boat. Anyway, coming out is to earn money. Anyway, it won't take long to arrive."
"Sigh, then it's better to go back to your own boat to help."
A Guang said regretfully: "It's a pity, only I boarded your pirate ship."
"You can get lost, I didn't ask you to board my boat, you want to follow yourself, don't you have two boats there."
