Ye Yaodong listened to his father's question and happily stretched out his fingers to make a 3 and then a 5.

His father was so happy that he almost lost his way.

"That's a lot. Okay, okay. I'm lucky today. It's a near miss."

"It's not just a near miss, it's obviously a very powerful move."

"Nervous, I would rather not be exposed in such a limelight, I will be scared to death."

"But when you think back, don't you think it's quite majestic and novel? No one else will ever have such an experience in their lifetime."

Father Ye also laughed when he told him. Although he was really nervous at first. Seeing those big mouths following behind him, he panicked and wanted to run away quickly. But after being followed all the way back by them, he felt pretty good.

Novel.

The main thing is that I came back safely and nothing happened, otherwise it would be such a novelty.

"Stop talking, stop talking, and go back as soon as you finish selling the goods."

"Have you taken down the antoas and lampreys from the boat?"

"Yes, it's here. I can't put it down. I plan to carry it..."

"What are you talking about? Let Ah Cai keep it here for now. I'll come back to pick it up at night. Then take it home and it will die when there is no oxygen in the water. It won't even get dark."

"Why are you raising this thing? I just wanted to throw it back into the sea for you."

Ye Yaodong grabbed the bucket and said, "It took a lot of effort to catch it. If you throw it away, you have to go down and catch it for me."

After saying that, he went directly to the purchase point. He didn't know what he was going to do with those sea lampreys, but he kept them at Ah Cai's place anyway, so he didn't need to worry about them.

When the time comes, he will remember what he was using it for and then take it over. If he dies accidentally, forget it, but he will have use for those few antoas.

I caught a few last year, but they died of a power outage during a typhoon. Now I finally caught a few more with the help of basking sharks, but I have to keep them first.

He hesitated whether to take it out directly at night and test it to see if he could catch fish? Should he wait two days before trying again and focus on trawling during these two days?

After agreeing with Ah Cai to put him there for foster care, he came back.

"How much did the other boat cost?" Father Ye asked as he pushed the cart.

"It's more than 38 yuan, which is not bad. It's enough for the fuel expenses of two ships plus today's wages."

In fact, the extra cost of the ship is not small, and the people who support it have to pay a lot of wages. Fortunately, they are also creating labor value.

"When I just came back, the Harvest had disappeared from the sea. She probably went out at night. I don't know how long it will take to come back this time."

"Don't worry about it. We only have three shares anyway. Uncle Pei will arrange anything and everything. We can just wait and divide the money."

"Dongzi, did those basking sharks just leave?" Brother Asheng couldn't help but ask from the side. He had been moving goods just now, and there were so many people talking around him, so he was embarrassed to ask.

"What if?"

"Haha, I'm just curious. I haven't seen it up close. It's a bit strange that such a big fish doesn't attack people. I followed it all the way, but stopped following it when I found that the water was not deep enough."

The eldest cousin also smiled and said: "If I had known that such a big fish would not attack people, but just follow it, we would not follow behind, but also followed together to see what it looks like up close."

"They are actually quite slow to react. When our fishing boat made such a loud noise, they might not have even reacted. Anyway, you will know if you encounter them in the future. They do not attack people."

Father Ye also said: "I used to occasionally see fish of this size wandering around, but in recent years I haven't seen so many."

Ye Yaodong thought to himself that these would no longer be seen offshore in the future, and they had become protected animals, and they would have to hide away if they encountered them.

Maybe it’s because fishing in other countries was too harsh during my childhood.

After all, our country has not developed yet, and the fishery has only just started. Overfishing has become more and more overfished, and fishery resources have declined. Our country can only hold a small part of the responsibility. In fact, the most important problem is environmental pollution.

Today's episode has become a topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner, but it is not too sensational. After all, resources are abundant now, and occasionally everyone can still see some big guys appearing offshore.

Some fishing boats can often see some dolphins and sharks when they are operating. It’s just that there are so many of them and they escort them all the way, which is a bit rare.

The most talked about thing in the village that day was the matter of rats. I heard that the couple were getting divorced. Originally, his mother had been acting like a monster, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been quarreling. However, after the couple's quarrel reached the point of divorce, my mother calmed down and did not dare to make a fuss.

.

These days, not many people get divorced, and they always encourage reconciliation but not divorce.

But I heard that in the evening, the old Wang family wanted a divorce because of the rat, so they called on the door and beat the rat again.

His legs and feet were not well at first, but now the injuries are getting worse. His family members have stopped working and now support his divorce, and things are getting into trouble again.

After seeing the commotion, Mother Ye came back and talked happily to the people enjoying the shade and the workers at the door. She also said that the two families were having trouble again.

Ye Yaodong felt that he and his family had not seen peace in the past month. Anyway, it was either a fight or a conflict between neighbors, a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or a conflict between husband and wife. Hearing his mother talk about it later, he felt it was extremely exciting.

Just the two of them have been responsible for the gossip in the village for several months now, and they are simply more famous than him for making a lot of money.

However, his reputation is louder outside than in the village. After all, the villagers in the village can often see him, and they can also see him working at sea, which is no different from everyone's daily life.

This often makes people ignore the assets in his hands. After all, no matter how rich he is, he is just fishing like everyone else. It's no different. He doesn't have such a big filter.

It's different for people in other villages. Just based on imagination, the built-in filters are all turned up to the maximum.

So much so that after he and his two brothers joined a boat together, Wang Guangliang and others became even more messed up during the days when they were resting from the typhoon.

I would always run to his house when I had nothing to do. I would also run around here when I had nothing to do, and he would carry water and firewood. I would also bring everything I had at home, such as a basket of peanuts, a basket of firewood pears, water chestnuts, etc.

The hand that takes someone is short, and the mouth that eats someone is short.

The children also became familiar with them, and they all loved to play with them, and even asked them to play ball together. They also loved coming over, and no man could resist the temptation of playing ball.

Now I basically stay in front of their house during the day if I don't have anything to do.

Ye Yaodong felt relieved after seeing it. If someone caused trouble when he was not at home, someone at home would be watching.

On the day after the typhoon, he also asked Ah Cai to send 2,000 kilograms of fish every day as long as the weather was good and there was stock. He would send whatever fish was abundant or cheap that day, as long as it was suitable for drying.

Wang Guangliang and the others are not afraid of running out of work, and several people will take turns watching the workshop during the day and night.

Tonight, Ah Cai didn't know if he found someone to collect the 2,000 kilograms of paddy fish from the dock in the town. He just interrupted his mother's talk and asked her to find two aunts to kill them.

fish.

These young men are not as good at killing fish as the old aunts. Setting up a pot for them to cook the shrimps is fine, but now they can only help dry them.

However, they still need young people to keep vigil.

After the arrangements were made and he saw that the workshop was in good order, he felt relieved and went to bed early, as he would go to sea at night.

Originally, he saw the group of basking sharks receding during the day. Ye Yaodong thought that the injured basking shark probably either sank into the sea or was lucky enough to follow the group of basking sharks back to the deep sea.

After all, being sucked by a hagfish was not certain to die. He heard that there was a 1/7 chance of escaping. With the basking shark's powerful physique and tonnage, he thought he would not die directly.

However, when he was preparing to go out to sea at night, he found a crowd of people gathered outside the pier, standing on the shore with flashlights shining in front of them.

And his father was there too, and he heard the sound.

"They should be the ones I saw the day before yesterday. I don't know how they got here. The water here is not deep enough for them to move around..."

"Yes, I saw them all gone at that time. Why is there still one here..."

"I didn't see it when I came back in the evening, why are you here at night..."

"I don't know if he is dead or alive..."

"Such a big man shouldn't die, right? How could he die here?"

"Poke it with a stick and see?"

"It's a bit far away. I have to climb onto the boat and try with a long stick to see if I can poke it..."

"I'll do it, I'll do it...I have experience, I'm familiar with this fish..."

As soon as Ye Yaodong walked in, he heard everyone talking to each other, and he didn't know what they were talking about. Azheng's voice sounded again, and he felt particularly excited when he heard his voice.

He walked up to his father and patted his shoulder.

"Dad? What are you looking at? What happened?"

His father couldn't help but Azheng, who had just turned his head and squeezed out of the crowd to get on the boat, said with excitement: "Dongzi, among the group of basking sharks that surrounded our boat the day before yesterday and sent us back, one of them suddenly stranded on the

We were at the edge of the pier, and we didn’t know whether it was dead or alive. Everyone looked at it with flashlights for a long time, but there was no reaction. I was about to get on the boat with a stick and poke it to see."

"Basking shark? Basking shark stranded outside the pier?"

"Yes, it's a short distance from the shore. It was accidentally illuminated when everyone was using flashlights to shine, so they were all wondering if they were dead or alive. Logically speaking, how could such a big person die? At most, there may not be enough water here.

Shen, is it stranded?"

"Then you still dare to poke it?"

Ye Yaodong also took a flashlight to shine in the distance, and said casually, but in his heart he thought of the injured basking shark.

The villagers nearby were still muttering about whether to live or die.

"Aren't you people who don't attack? I watched all the way the day before yesterday, so what does it matter if I go over and poke you?"

"I'll take a closer look with you."

"Okay, okay."

"Let's go take a look too..." Some brave people also thought of taking a closer look.

Just having heard about it in the past two days, many people are very curious.
