"Two days have passed. I guess the number of jellyfish on the sea has increased, right?"

"Pay attention when you drive forward later. I just saw one or two floating there, but there are many fishing boats behind me, so it's not convenient to stop. Anyway, there are only one or two."

The movement of jellyfish is continuous day and night, but they like to float to the water when the weather is hot, especially during the flood season.

Jellyfish have a well-developed water pipe system and sensitive sensors, so they can move vertically in different water layers.

You usually swim to the upper level of the water area during calm dawns and evenings, or on cloudy days; you often swim to the lower level of the water area during strong winds, heavy rains, rapids, scorching sun, and at night.

After the father and son estimated the approximate time of arrival, they discussed whether to find a desert island now or to stop at the shore first.

"Everyone's boat was following behind us, and there was no communication along the way. Anyway, it should only take more than two hours to arrive. We have almost reached the border by now. Find a place to stop and cook."

"By the way, take a break and gather the others together to talk about it. Otherwise, they will be confused and don't know when they will arrive."

"Tell them, they will have an idea in mind and can prepare in advance. If we encounter a swarm of jellyfish next, it won't be abrupt if we stop suddenly. We need to tell them this too."

"After all, not long after we entered Zhejiang Province last year, we actually encountered a swarm of jellyfish. When we docked, we also killed them at the same time."

Father Ye thought what he said made sense and nodded in agreement.

We need to get together and explain the situation to them so that they don't get confused.

"Okay, then I'll look for it as I move forward to see if there's any suitable island or shore suitable for landing."

"Well, by the way, let's also tell them that we can get together as a group and see if we can find it on the deserted island we stayed on last year. If we can find it, we can use it as a gathering point. If we can't find it, we can find another one."

Father Ye nodded again.

Ye Yaodong continued: "If you go out to fish during the day, you don't enter and exit at the same time. After all, each boat has a different load-bearing capacity. Just go out and fish separately. This also avoids exposing the natural trench we found last year."

"If you have anything to buy, just wait until every evening when the jellyfish are sold, go ashore to buy it, and then replenish fresh water. Anyway, this year we will do the same as last year. When the time comes, we will choose to receive goods in the town, so we don't have to talk to others.

Communicate with people from other villages to avoid jealousy."

Father Ye continued to nod. He was sailing the boat, and all the sounds in his ears were the sound of machines. He would not speak if he could.

Seeing that his father listened and had no objection, Ye Yaodong went to tell the boatmen that they were probably at the border of Fujian Province and it would take more than two hours to reach their destination.

Let them use the coal stove on the ship to cook some simple noodles first, then cook a few more pots and take turns eating. This is how they will deal with it today.

We just set out in the morning, and everyone brought their lunch rations, so there was no need to cook at noon. The tea on the ship was also boiled in two large barrels early in the morning and brought to the ship. These are all ready-made, so it is very convenient at noon.

Dealt with it.

The boatmen all breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they would arrive in two hours.

Being at sea for 12 consecutive hours is no better than working continuously for 12 hours. Moreover, they don’t know how far away they are from their destination. They feel quite unsure. They are also more uneasy about safety and are worried about the unknown.

.

Now that I have hope, everyone looks more positive and energetic.

A Guang was actually very relieved, but he had been on the road without even stopping, and he felt mentally exhausted. He cheered up when he heard that he would be arriving in two hours.

He leaned next to Ye Yaodong and said, "We're at the right place now. It happens to be dark, so we won't be blinding and won't attract the attention of the surrounding villages."

"Yes."

Even if they sleep on an isolated island and are not close to a village, the nearby villages will definitely know that there are so many ships stopping on the island at the same time, and passing ships will definitely be curious and pay attention.

But it doesn't matter. It's a desert island anyway, so they can take turns. Occasionally, if the weather is bad and not suitable for fishing, they can also go to the town guest house to stay for a day or two.

The method was thought up by humans, but a living person can still be suffocated to death by urine?

"I don't know if my father's ship has returned. It's been a long time since he left. Today, it's already the seventh day."

"We only went twice before the typhoon. This is the first time we went after the typhoon. After all, we just bought a new ship. Uncle Pei was greedy and wanted to take advantage of the time just after the typhoon. It's normal to stay a few more days. We are here anyway.

Wait for him."

"I'm worried that the local sea area is so big that he won't be able to meet him and I won't be able to make a phone call. It's just so inconvenient to travel without one."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Don't think about it. If this year goes well, the flood season should be longer than last year. Even if we are not together and have never met each other, the Harvest will not suffer. For such a big ship, there are still many people on board.

So many people.”

"Well, I hope my dad has already set off, so he can arrive early tomorrow morning in just one night."

"It's better not to. It's not that safe to sail at night, and it has to cross provinces. Uncle Pei has just returned from the sea. It's best to have a good rest for a day, recharge and set off again the next day."

Aguang also thinks what he said makes sense.

"Will our dad dock directly at the town pier later? It's getting dark, and I don't know if there is a public phone here where I can make calls at night. I just want to call back to make sure I'm safe, and I can also leave a phone for my dad.

Oral message."

"First find an island to stay on, and then go to the town to see if there is a store you can call. If not, let's go to the border defense station or the public security bureau here."

"Go to the border station or the public security bureau to call?" Aguang looked at him in disbelief, "Thank you for thinking about it."

Nowadays, people are generally afraid of entering the public security bureau or the border station. They panic when they hear this. Who would go to such a place without committing any crime? He actually admires Ye Yaodong's lack of taboos.

You can even think of going to the police station to make a phone call?

But it seems to make sense when you think about it. Since there is no place to make calls at night, there seems to be nothing wrong with asking the public security bureau for help?

Ye Yaodong said with a calm face, "What's the point? The People's Liberation Army is the public servant of the people and serves the people wholeheartedly. This is their slogan. We have so many inconveniences when we go out. Isn't it normal to ask for help from the people's servants?"

"Okay, everything you said is right!"

"But, most people seem to be quite taboo about going to the public security bureau. In this case, if we dock at the pier in the town later, we can go look for a guest house. The guest house can probably give us a call. If it doesn't work, we can go there again.

Call the police station."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want!"

"Oh, this brings too many people and it's inconvenient. If we only have a few boats, how convenient would it be to just go and stay in a guest house on the first night? It's also comfortable."

"There's no other way. I've brought all my clothes with me, and it's not okay if I don't bring them with me. We're all fellow villagers, and they're going out to wander around. Everyone begs you to bring them with you, so that's all you can do."

"Well, sit down and take a rest while my dad finds a place to dock first."

Ye Yaodong returned to the place where he had spread the mat, sat down, patted the open space beside him, and asked A Guang to sit down and wait with him, and also wait for dinner.

In front of them, three ropes were hung near the edge of the boat. The ropes were all strung with meat pomfret that they had marinated and dried in the afternoon, and they were swaying back and forth in the sea breeze.

He also brought a few shrimp cages with him on this trip, and he will put them near the isolated island, so that he will not worry about not having fish to eat every day.

Otherwise, when I get really busy, I will catch three boats of jellyfish back and forth in one day, and I will not have time to haul seafood to eat.

After the experience last time, he and his father were very well prepared for this trip. They had gathered the whole family to discuss it before departure.

The daily consumption of nearly a hundred people is staggering. Fortunately, they only have to take care of their own few boats to eat and drink.

The workers on the boat worked very efficiently, and they were all old fishermen who were used to the work. After a while, the smell of pasta also floated on the boat, and Ye Yaodong let the others eat first.

His father was controlling the boat and was constantly slowing down. He immediately stood up, grabbed a small red flag and waved it at the fishing boats behind him to remind them to pay attention to the situation of their fishing boats and ask them to slow down too.

After Ye's father docked near a shore reef, the fishing boat behind him had already been warned and slowed down and slowly approached and docked.

Ah Zheng was more proactive than anyone else. He climbed over as soon as the car parked.

"Oh, the horse rider has finally arrived. I'm going to die."

"It's so useless, how can you die?" Aguang laughed and laughed.

"Go away, it's really nice for you two to get together, and you have company to talk to. I just keep getting scolded by my dad, but luckily I can't hear it."

"We haven't arrived yet, we were just waiting for dinner, and we haven't communicated with anyone on the way. We are almost here, so we might as well dock to communicate in advance." Ye Yaodong interjected.

"What else do we need to communicate with? Didn't we communicate before we set off? How long will it take to arrive? Mad, it took so long to arrive. How far is it?"

"About two hours, it's pretty quick. Anyway, it will be dark when we arrive. While it's still bright, let's call everyone together to talk about the situation. We also encountered a few jellyfish when we just came here.

I’ll probably meet you again when we go down.”

Ah Zheng nodded positively, "Yes, I saw a jellyfish just now, but it was a small one, light blue, and quite pretty."

"Well, as the flood season approaches, there will definitely be more and more fish. Anyway, let's take a rest at night and we can start fishing tomorrow. There will definitely not be many at the beginning. Anyway, we will see the situation tomorrow. Whatever we say now is just empty talk."

Both nodded.

In just a short while, Xiaoxiao also crawled over, and the four of them got together without saying anything else. First, each of them pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.

He also regretted it. If he had known better, he would have boarded Dongzi's boat. Anyway, it would be the same with or without him on his own boat. One more person would not be more, and one less person would not be more. It would make him boring to death by himself.

Even boring things like taking a boat trip will become interesting if you have company together, not to mention they are people who will find fun for themselves.

When Xiaoxiao crawled over, most of the fishing boats were docked one after another, and the men around them were shouting questions at the top of their lungs.

Father Ye also shouted to them, asking them to come over first and wait for others to gather together to talk about the situation.

Instead of saying one question once, you have to say it dozens of times if you ask consecutive questions, endlessly.

When the four of them saw more and more people crawling over, they retreated to the edge and stood there, throwing their cigarette butts into the sea.

Their movements were also very unified, with their backs leaning against the side of the ship and their arms bent on the ship's edge behind them. They listened casually to Father Ye's explanation of where the current location was and how far it was from the destination.

He also told everyone what Ye Yaodong told him just now.

Ye Yaodong also whispered to his small group.

"Anyway, we listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
