Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1038 Great White Shark Attacks Fishing Boat (Monthly Ticket +11)

The head and tail had been idle at home for more than half a month. They were not impatient, but the women in the village were the first to get impatient. From time to time, someone would ask Ye's mother or A Qing why they hadn't gone out to sea recently.

After all, although some trawlers did not go out intermittently due to rain, they still went out to sea every few days.

For example, the Harvest had been out for three days and then came back. But his ship was just drifting in the middle of the sea without any movement, and the women who wanted to earn wages became anxious.

Lin Xiuqing always uses the excuse that she has something going on at home and is unable to get away, and the weather in the sea outside is unpredictable, so she hasn't been out to sea recently. But if she comes back from the sea, she will definitely ask everyone to work.

"This is what they call the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death."

Lying in bed at night, the couple would always whisper a few words in the middle of the night, and they would just chat there.

"Work half a month and rest half a month, those boatmen are pretty happy."

"Don't think like that. The sea is very dangerous. It's hard to sleep well on the boat. Basically, I just take a nap and then get up to work. It's hard."

How can people who have never been there understand it? Ye Yaodong is well aware of the difficulties faced by fishermen.

"The weather forecast tonight said that tomorrow will be sunny again. It looks like there will be no wind or waves today. All the things for going out to sea are ready. You can check when you get up tomorrow. If the weather is good and there are no wind or waves, ask Dad to call the other boatmen."

"Well, Dad went to Uncle Pei to discuss it this evening."

"Dad has been going to Uncle Pei's place quite often recently."

"Do you have wine to drink? My mother at home always watches over him and doesn't let him drink too much. He gets drunk and crazy easily, and keeps talking a lot, doesn't sleep, and just brags."

Lin Xiuqing turned sideways and asked curiously, "Dad, I wonder if you are also curious about the progress of Uncle Pei and the widow."

Ye Yaodong laughed softly, his chest shaking, "It's possible, maybe my mother sent him."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled, "Go to bed early and stop talking. The more we talk, the less we want to sleep."

"Don't want to sleep."

His hands rubbed back and forth on her back.

Lin Xiuqing pinched him and said, "You have been too idle recently. You need to do it every other day."

"Well, I have nowhere to vent my energy. For a strong young man like me, this frequency is normal... Women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties..."

She burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Before you laugh, ask the widow's age."

"Then the 50-meter-high ground can also absorb dirt. Maybe A Guang will really have another brother."

Of course he knows whether 50 is still okay or not!
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "You are gloating over other people's misfortunes."

"No, more children means more blessings. His family is rich anyway, and there is such a big age gap between them, so of course most of the family property will be his in the future. If he really has a younger brother, he will raise him as his own son. His father is old and still works hard for him, so it won't be a big deal for him to have a younger brother in the future."

These days, raising one more child is not stressful, as long as one has a stutter. Even if you get married in the future, it will be in the 2000s or 2010s, and the bride price will not be sky-high yet.

What's more, half of the empire was built for him by his father. If he continues to help, everything that belonged to his father will definitely be his.

His mother was just worrying over nothing. What did it matter if it was just a little kid? It wasn't like they were fighting for the throne.

"If you say so, you can have it too."

"How is that possible? A kiss between a fifty-year-old couple can give you nightmares for the entire night."

Lin Xiuqing was instantly amused by him and laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.

Ye Yaodong looked at her shock and smiled as he also started to work.

"Dry wood and passionate love are different from an old married couple. Look at Brother Sheng and his wife. They have only been married for more than a month and they are pregnant."

"Are you going to make me laugh to death?"

"I'm telling the truth."

"Brother Asheng made the right choice in marrying this wife."

"Well, my mother is quite good at finding one. By the way, A-Guang's eldest sister was asked to be found by mother years ago. Hasn't mother arranged for her to be found yet?"

"A bunch of people came to his house, knowing that his family would give a large dowry, so all the dirty, smelly, and shameless people came to his house. He was overwhelmed by the choices. He missed out once before, so he didn't dare to settle down so easily again. He picked for a month or two, and now there is a young man there chatting with him. He plans to get to know her first."

"That's right. Blind marriage is not advisable. Who knows if the couple is the same inside and out?"

Lin Xiuqing held his head and nodded seriously, "Indeed, we need to spend more time together, otherwise it will be easy to jump into the fire pit."

Ye Yaodong grabbed her hard and said, "It's none of my business. Haven't I already let you enjoy your life?"

"Humph!"

"Still humming? Then hum a little more later..."

The next morning, Ye Yaodong got up early. It was rare that when he woke up, his wife and children were still sleeping beside him.

I have been resting at home for a long time recently, and I feel I have had enough rest and am in a good spirit.

When he got up, his father was already sitting at the gate of the yard, basking in the sun and smoking a water pipe.

Seeing him coming out, Father Ye just turned his head to take a look, then said, "Today is calm and the weather is good. You eat and get ready, and then we will go out to sea. I will call someone to move everything onto the boat."

"it is good."

"Why are you still standing there? Go eat."

"Aren't you still sitting? I'll take my time."

He twisted his neck and waist, looking at the sea ahead. The tide was rising, and it was just the right time for the boat to go out. Then he went to wash up.

When Lin Xiuqing got up, a group of people were already moving things in the yard. They pushed carts out and carried away things that couldn't fit on the carts.

"Going out to sea so soon?"

"Well, it's better to hurry early than late. The tide has just arrived."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the rising tide and the sunny weather and said nothing. They had originally discussed going out to sea today.

Early in the morning, the dock was deserted. The trawlers had gone out to sea at night, and there were only a few small wooden boats. Everyone was hardworking.

When they arrived, Pei's father was already there. Without bothering to exchange pleasantries, they took a small boat, loaded their belongings on board, and then boarded the big ship.

Father Ye watched the boatman moving things and shouted to Father Pei, "I feel like I've been resting for so long that my bones are all worn out. We still can't rest."

Father Pei echoed the same sentiment, "Yes, we have become lazy after taking a break. It's because of this weather, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, it's hard to predict, and the weather forecast is not accurate. Once we go out, we won't be back for several days, unlike them, who go out at night and come back during the day."

"The weather is getting warmer, and many fish are migrating. There are a lot of bass recently. Let's see how much we can get this time."

……

Ye Yaodong ignored the two old men chatting. So many workers were not dead, so there was no need for him to do anything. Everyone had his own job and knew what they were supposed to do. The first thing he did when he got on the boat was to burn incense and worship the small statue of Mazu.

I haven't been on the boat and haven't worshipped for more than half a month. What a sin.

He also brought a few big oranges and placed five of them on the small altar.

"Good luck and smooth sailing!"

After worshipping, he ran into his father.

"Have you finished burning incense? Give me the yellow paper after that, wishing you peace, prosperity and good luck."

Ye Yaodong took a few from the side and handed them to him.

This is a ritual his father must perform every time he goes out to sea. Only after completing the ritual can he go out to sea with peace of mind.

If the yellow paper fails to burn, or stops burning halfway, it will be a big trouble for them. No matter how good the weather is today, they will definitely go home directly.

This process is very important.

It's just that superstitious.

Fortunately, he completed this set of procedures, and Uncle Pei next door also went through the same set of procedures. Everything was fine, and the two ships were started one after another, sailing one after the other.

"Now I still go out to sea with you every day, and I can also perform rituals for you. When I can no longer do it, you have to do it yourself. Don't fall behind."

"I know."

"Well, I have been following you every day for the past few years and helping you with your work. Although I have been asked to pay you, your eldest and second brothers didn't say anything, but they probably have some thoughts in their minds. Next year, when you three brothers get your own boat, I will go on that boat, and you will drive your boat by yourself. Everyone has to help, this is fair."

"I know, I know. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to stay here, I'll let you steer the boat and I'll stay down below."

"I just want to say a few words, why are you so impatient?"

"You're too long-winded. You keep talking about something that has been planned for a long time. Isn't it too late to talk about it after we get the ship?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Then you drive the boat."

After his ears were cleared, Ye Yaodong followed the Harvest with boredom. After they finished doing a series of things like refueling and adding ice, they set off again with full force.

It is a really sunny day today. The warm and gentle sunshine shines on the sea, radiating golden light. The waves caused by the sailing ships look like sparkling silver in the sun.

They were walking towards the sun, and the light was so blinding, luckily there was glass blocking the view, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see the road ahead clearly.

Not far away, seagulls were flying in groups, some flying high over the sea, some skimming the surface of the sea, and some even flying low over their fishing boats from time to time.

Perhaps their boat was empty, as they had just put out to sea, and there was nothing on the deck. The seagulls flew low for a while, but when they failed to find their target, they probably flew away in disgust, ready to fend for themselves, searching for fish and shrimp floating on the upper layer of the sea.

They set out early in the morning, and it was only 11 o'clock when they cast the nets to start fishing. The boatmen had rested for more than half a month and were all in high spirits. They stood on the deck and laughed along the way, and no one hid in the cabin in a listless state.

When the fishing boat reaches deep enough waters, it starts to cast its nets and continues to move forward towards the East China Sea while working.

As usual, there were only their two boats on the sea. The surroundings were boundless and there was no sight of any islands except the sea.

When trawling offshore, you can occasionally see fishing boats passing by, but after they switch to larger boats and go fishing far away, it is really hard to see a single boat.

After everyone finished fishing, they stood on the deck and chatted as usual. Although there had been a few spring rains and the temperature had gradually risen, the sea breeze would still be cold, and the temperature at sea would be lower than on land.

Ye Yaodong was the one driving the boat the whole day, while Ye's father chatted and boasted with the boatmen until night fell, when his father took over driving the boat.

The whole day's harvest was neither good nor bad, just so-so. There was nothing particularly amazing, but the harvest was still okay. I probably earned back the money I spent on gas and ice today.

We refueled less today. We only went out to sea for one day last time and came back. There is still more than half of the oil left on the boat, which saved a little expense.

We agreed to take his place after midnight, so he went back to the cabin and lay down. The quilt that had been exposed to the sun smelled particularly good, without any of the dampness it had before.

As expected, Chen Shi is more reliable.

He was just half asleep and dozed off. Before midnight, he was woken up by someone.

"Adong, Adong, get up quickly, get up quickly, something is happening...something is happening..."

Ye Yaodong was awakened and immediately threw back his quilt. He looked at the old boatman who had woken him up in panic, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"There are great white sharks! There are two great white sharks following us. Your father didn't know what to do. He said you are familiar with these big fish, so he asked us to wake you up quickly and let you feed them some food."

He hurriedly put on his shoes, grabbed his coat and walked out. When he heard this, he turned around in confusion and said, "Ah, you want me to feed the great white shark?"

Feed him himself?

What does his father think he is? What does being a great white shark mean?

The great white shark is not like the basking shark or the whale shark, which are vegetarians. It is a carnivore and can eat humans!!!
Although it prefers creatures with higher fat content, such as seals, and is not very interested in humans, it will still eat people if provoked. It will also attack fishing boats and is not as friendly as some other whale sharks.

"Yes, he said that you often feed these big fish and that they won't attack people. If we don't dare to feed them, we will wake you up and let you come."

"My biological father!"

How dare he do that great white shark!!!
"My dad said great white sharks can eat people! Let's go see how big they are."

As soon as he stepped out of the first deck, he felt the ship being hit and shaken violently. At the same time, he saw two white figures on the sea. Each of them looked to be five or six meters long and should not be underestimated...

"My darling!"

He was knocked against the side of the boat and only managed to hold on to the edge of the boat to avoid falling.

At the same time, the others also shook a little, and the others quickly ran up to him and pointed at the two baskets of groceries on the deck and said to him.

"Adong, I've prepared two baskets of groceries. Are they enough to feed them?"

"Is it enough? If not, we can move more from the cabin..."

At the same time, Ye's father stood on the rudder and shouted at him: "Dongzi, hurry up, hurry up... Feed them and let them go quickly. This is too scary. They even hit the fishing boat..."

Ye Yaodong also looked at his father with a frown on his face, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and drive the boat away, feed it, this is a great white shark, it eats meat, eats meat!!!"

"What are you going to feed it with? Are you going to feed it with me? It will attack boats and people. It's not as docile as other big fish. Run away quickly..."

After Ye Yaodong yelled, his father started to panic. At first, he was not that panicked because they had encountered such a big fish more than once, and even bigger ones than this one.

Dongzi was fearless and would either feed the sharks, climb on them to remove barnacles, untie the tangled fishing nets, or touch them. There was even a group of unknown sharks that followed them back to the village.

Doesn’t it work this time?
Father Ye was in a hurry and ran quickly.

The boatmen on the boat also looked at him at a loss.

"Isn't that what your father said?"

"Can't we feed them? If we feed them these two baskets of food, won't they leave?"

"These two are great white sharks, great white sharks, great white sharks! Not any other big fish. The right thing to do is to run away as soon as possible." Ye Yaodong shouted in frustration.

Is he Buddha? Why are you asking him to feed you?

When Buddha fed an eagle, he only cut off a piece of meat. If he fed him to a shark, he would have to pay with his whole body.

"I told you it was a ferocious great white shark and we had to run. But your dad insisted that you had fed this kind of big fish many times and it should leave on its own after we poured two baskets of it. If it doesn't leave, it won't attack us. He asked us to wake you up and nothing will happen."

"My father really thinks highly of me!"

After being hit by the great white shark, the fishing boat was not hit again, but the great white shark did not leave and swam faster beside the fishing boat.

After hearing that he had no way to deal with the great white shark, everyone became nervous, fearing that the two fish would join forces to attack the fishing boat, and then they would be in real trouble.

"How long have you been offline?"

"It's almost two hours. You can collect it if you want."

"Then go ask my dad to collect the net. Don't just run. Collect the net so you can run faster. He really thinks too highly of me. He actually asked me to feed a great white shark."

A boatman responded and quickly ran up to inform Ye's father to raise the net. Two others also went to help collect the fish.

Ye Yaodong also told Chen Shi to keep an eye on the sea, and he ran to the cockpit.

The guns he brought with him when he went out to sea were placed under the seat under the cockpit, and not in the cabin. The cockpit was only operated by him and his father, so he felt more at ease placing them there.

Now these two great white sharks are surrounding the fishing boat and have just hit it. If you don't have some hot weapons in your hands, it will be quite dangerous. These are not the docile big fish that eat vegetarian food like whale sharks or basking sharks.

After he took down two 56 and a half guns, the other boatmen's eyes widened and they instantly felt relieved, feeling that their safety was guaranteed.

"Gun! Adong has a gun on the boat!"

"It's good to have a gun. Now we don't have to worry about the great white shark anymore..."

"It would be nice to have a gun..."

"Hurry up and shoot them twice, so they won't dare to follow us!"

"We can't do anything reckless. If we shoot them twice, they will get angry and will attack the fishing boat desperately. They will take us with them even if they die. That will be troublesome. We can't shoot randomly."

He handed the other gun to Chen Shi with some concern, and repeatedly reminded him not to shoot without his permission. Otherwise, if something went wrong, instead of driving away the sharks, a large group of great white sharks would appear, which would really capsize the boat and everyone would fall into the sea.

"Know...know"

Chen Shi held the gun in both hands, clenching it so tightly that his fingertips turned white, and looked at the sea nervously.

　This one is an extra update. There is another one with 2 words. You will have to wait until o'clock.
