Chapter 988: Strange light circle under the fishing boat

~11 min read 2,130 words

The roar of the machine and the snoring in his ears are like a symphony, one continuous, one after another.

Ye Yaodong kept thinking about the harvest of the two nets today. The second net hauled up more. Calculate it, the two nets today can probably sell for five hundred yuan.

Luck exploded.

Although they came out late, unlike others who went out at night, listening to his father's previous meaning, it is comparable to the cargo dragged by the Fengshou in one day before.

Only two nets were dragged today. The Fengshou came out for a day and dragged five or six nets, which could only sell for that much. After all, a small half had to be dumped into the sea as worthless cargo.

Maybe it's also because the toadfish fishing season hasn't passed, so the proportion is relatively large, and the quantity netted is also large. Today, the two nets have six or seven thousand jin, which is quite a lot.

He had no comparison, and didn't know the harvest situation of other fishing boats, so he could only compare with the Fengshou.

A great victory at the beginning, thinking about it, he was also a bit excited. The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became.

The fishing boat kept bumping and shaking while sailing, like a cradle, but it couldn't shake him into sleep.

After thinking about the harvest, Ye Yaodong thought of his family again. Don't know if Lin Xiuqing can handle Pei Yu, if the children at home are obedient, and if the children asked about him after he wasn't at home.

Although he often went to sea every three days and didn't stay at home, he hadn't stayed overnight except for catching jellyfish. Even if the children couldn't see him during the day, they could see him in the evening or at night.

Coming out for a whole day today, he left before they got up. Don't know if they missed him and asked about him.

The more he thought, the more he missed, and he started to toss and turn.

In the past few years, he interacted and played with the children every day, accompanied them to make trouble, bought them food, bought toys, brought various gifts when going out, and gave them various faces.

Hearts are made of flesh. The children are getting closer to him, and he is naturally paying more and more attention to the children at home.

Surrounded by family affection for a few years, he also enjoyed it especially. Now that he hasn't been out for a day, he misses his family, mainly because he started drifting on the sea again, sleeping overnight on the sea, and his heart couldn't help but start comparing with his previous life.

Actually, it is also because of losing and regaining that he knows how to cherish more in his heart.

Anyway, contentment brings happiness, and having a wife, children, and a warm bed is not bad. Now it is much better than his previous life.

Thinking of last night, while Aqing was scolding the children, he opened the drawer, took a few photos of the whole family from last year, and put them in the password box.

Forgot to bring it when catching jellyfish, this time remembered.

He sat up to open the box again, took out the photos, and by the way, took out the peace charm that the old lady asked for him before the year.

The dim environment in the cabin couldn't see clearly at all. He just touched the photos, and then put the photos and the peace charm under the pillow. Now, he felt comfortable in his heart.

Thinking that after going back, he would bring a roll of tape on the boat and stick the photos on the wall on the inside of the bed.

Thinking and thinking, he slowly fell asleep.

The roar of the machine in his ears didn't stop at all. Sleeping and waking up... sleeping and waking up... don't know how long it passed, and no one called him. It was because of his own time concept that he suddenly woke up, only to find that the bed next to him was already empty.

He lifted the quilt, put on thick cotton-padded clothes and cotton trousers, put on rain boots, brought a flashlight, and hurriedly went out.

The deck was full of all kinds of fish cargo, and everyone was squatting there picking and sorting.

He looked at his watch and it was only past twelve o'clock, not yet one o'clock. He was relieved. They should have just gotten up for a while.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"Thinking that it just arrived, everyone is still picking and sorting, and hasn't gone back to the cabin to sleep, planning to call you in a while."

"The other two go to sleep, we will pick and sort here."

"Alright, alright, alright..."

"Don't get up so early tomorrow morning, sleep a little longer. It's almost one o'clock now."

"Alright, alright, alright..."

Ye Yaodong watched them sort the fish cargo, and also shone with a flashlight. The harvest was okay. Looking at it, there were four or five thousand jin. As usual, toadfish accounted for the majority, and there were quite a lot of red fish cargo.

He went to the wheelhouse again.

Ye Fu saw him come up and said: "The fourth net has just been hauled up. If you are not used to it and didn't sleep well, go back and sleep for a while, and come to replace me tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, I'm young and strong, don't need to sleep for too long, and now I'm awake, probably won't be able to sleep if I lie back, you go to sleep, replace me."

"Alright, the net has just been cast, you watch the time to haul the net yourself, if there is anything you are not sure about, contact your in-laws and ask. It is estimated that calling him will be faster than calling me."

"Got it."

"The previous net can't compare to the two nets during the day, but it's also okay. I haven't seen this net yet. When I get up tomorrow morning, the fish hold probably won't be full. When the fresh-collection boat comes, let your in-laws contact it. We are all in one place, the harvest should not be much different."

"Hmm, got it."

"Remember to be careful, watch the direction well, don't run to the deck at every turn, and don't get close to the edge of the sea island. The water level is not deep enough, and it is easy to have reefs..."

"Oh, know, know, don't nag, drove the boat for so long, can I not know?"

"Just remind you, gave it all to you, I didn't watch, ran to sleep, heart is not so at ease."

"I'm not a child, have a sense of proportion."

"Hmm, then I'll watch it for you."

"Go, go."

Ye Fu stood by for a while, worried, before running to the deck to help sort. There were only two people on the deck now, and the other two had already returned to the cabin to rest.

Until all sorting was finished and the cargo was moved to the fish hold, he went to sleep.

Ye Yaodong stayed in the cockpit and it wasn't that cold. The sea at night was black on all four sides. Only their fishing boat and the Fengshou had lights. The two light points were like the morning star, shining in the dark night.

Sailing on the sea depends on the helmsman, not wrong at all.

He kept paying attention to the compass, and the fishing boat kept the forward distance with the Fengshou.

Since the net started to be cast, it has always been their boat first, and the Fengshou behind.

It lasted until almost three o'clock, Ye Yaodong walked out of the cabin and shouted to haul the net. The other two also hurriedly ran out yawning to help.

It was just that when the fishing net was pulled up, Ye Yaodong walked out of the cockpit, originally wanting to look at the big bag hoisted up, but saw a huge light under the fishing boat, disc-shaped.

He was surprised and puzzled and walked to the deck. As a result, that huge disc-like thing slowly moved out from under the boat and moved to the surroundings of the fishing boat.

One of the two crew members helping to haul the net was Chen Shi, who suddenly noticed a huge light circle on the side of the boat, and his face changed greatly in horror.

"Dong... Dong... Dong... brother... what... is... this!"

The other crew member also hurriedly turned his head to look, his heart lifted, and he shuddered, "What is this light?"

Anything abnormal must have a demon.

The two looked at each other, not caring about the fish cargo scattered on the boat, and walked to Ye Yaodong's side with their hearts in their mouths, asking carefully: "What is this? How can our fishing boat suddenly appear such a large light circle?"

You ask me, who do I ask?

"I'm also looking at what it is?"

Ye Yaodong also kept staring at the sea surface without blinking. For a while, he couldn't be sure what it was. There were many strange things or matters on the sea. It depends on whether you have that fate, whether you have that bad luck, or whether you have that luck to encounter it.

"Could it be something bad? Should we hurry up and drive the boat to speed up? It just happened that the fishing net was hauled up and hasn't been put down yet. Should we run out of this light circle first?"

"Dong... Dong... brother, we... we... hurry... drive... drive... boat... let's..."

Both of them were a bit panicked, feeling their heartbeats accelerating.

Ye Yaodong was also worried about what strange thing it was, afraid of disturbing it, and lowered his voice.

"This light circle surrounds the fishing boat. Don't know if speeding up is useful. Slow down and see. Just now I saw it on the wheelhouse, but at that time the light circle was small, and it was still under the boat. Only a little bit could be seen at the edge. Now the light circle has expanded a lot..."

"Really... real... really moving..."

"This light circle is really moving, then are we just waiting for it to leave?"

"Don't know what it is, wait and see."

Originally, the fishing boat was also moving forward. If it suddenly accelerated, don't know if any accidents would happen. First, change with the unchanged.

Those two people looked at Ye Yaodong's calm appearance, their hearts were slightly at ease, and they also leaned towards him, as if they had some sense of security.

Chen Shi suddenly said: "Now... now... now is... three o'clock! Don't... don't... don't... be afraid."

Once this remark came out, he himself was also calm, feeling that it was not midnight, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"But there is no moonlight tonight, the sky is especially dark..."

"Talking nonsense." Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, preventing them from guessing blindly.

Older people are the most superstitious. Young people are especially curious about such strange things, and it is easy to think in this direction if there is a little sign.

"Become... become... become bigger!"

"Really, it became a whole circle bigger again!"

Ye Yaodong kept his hands on the ship's side watching, without their reminder, he also saw the light circle becoming bigger.

"You guys go to the opposite side and see, is the light circle on that side of the boat bigger?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a while, hurriedly ran over swaying, and then ran over stumbling, "No... nothing."

"What nothing?" Ye Yaodong felt that listening to him speak was strenuous, might as well go see it himself.

After speaking, he ran to the other side to take a look, only to find that it was black on that side, and it was black under the water, there was no light circle or light at all.

"It really is nothing. It is equivalent to the light circles on both sides of the boat just now all moving to this side."

"Could it be some big fish that glows?"

"Have you seen it?"

The old crew member shook his head.

He hadn't seen it either. What big fish can emit such a big light, much brighter than his flashlight shining on the sea surface, and the light can cover the bottom of a whole boat.

However, thinking about it as a fish is better than them thinking about it in the spiritual aspect.
