Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1054: Attacked by a Group of Sharks (1 words, monthly ticket +27)

During dinner, Ye's mother happily told others some gossip about Pei's father. Anyway, she just used hearsay from beginning to end, but she spoke with relish, with her tone rising and falling, and it felt like she had seen it with her own eyes.

Father Ye ate quietly, just listening with his ears perked up, without expressing any opinions the whole time. After listening, he said, "It's better to settle it earlier. There will be a woman at home to help with the arrangements. When you get old, you don't have to rely on your children to take care of you and be disliked."

Lin Xiuqing was already surprised by what she heard just now, "That family is too shameless. They even wanted to carry the person back. They must have been keeping an eye on him for a long time, waiting for Uncle Pei to be left alone."

The old lady also expressed her opinion, "If you tell anyone, it will really make people laugh. How can you do such a thing? You don't even care about your reputation."

"There is no reputation at all. As long as the goal can be achieved, it is profit." Ye Yaodong also said.

"Go to their house after dinner and ask them if the story is as everyone is saying."

"Who is this? What kind of words are you talking about? Why would you come to my house to ask?"

Seeing his father getting angry, Ye Yaodong quickly explained, "I want to ask Uncle Pei when he will go out to sea. The boat can be back tomorrow evening, so we can go out tomorrow evening at the earliest. I was planning to talk to him after dinner to discuss it."

"That's more like it. By the way, I can ask you two a few questions. After all, you two have a good relationship. But why hasn't the boat been repaired yet? It will take until tomorrow evening."

"Didn't it rain these past two days? I was delayed. Anyway, I can drive back tomorrow. It won't matter if I drive back tomorrow."

"Then call a few boatmen tomorrow and ask them to prepare to go out to sea at night."

"Let's go ask first. How is the tomb repair going? It was sunny for most of the flood season, so the progress should be pretty fast, right?"

Father Ye did not go to the shipyard today, but went to the mountain to see the progress of the tomb repair.

"Well, it's halfway done. It's just that the stone cutting process is slow to begin with, but if the weather is sunny for a few more days, it will be fast.

"Soon."

Ye Yaodong went to A Guang's house after dinner. As he had just finished his meal, he did not ride his bicycle but rode slowly by himself.

The weather is getting warmer, and after dinner you can see a lot of people moving around in the village. They are still talking about squids, but there are also discussions about going out to sea at night.

He was also chatting with people as he walked along the way. By the time they arrived at A Guang's house, it was already an hour later and it was dark.

He did this on purpose, in case A Guang hadn't finished his meal yet. He also understood why his mother would sometimes take two hours to walk back and forth just to have a meal.

When he arrived, A Guang was playing with the child at the door. Under the light from the house, he could see a middle-aged woman in a dress with big red flowers busying around the stove.

When A Guang saw him, he immediately greeted him, "There is a stool at the door, bring it over and sit down."

When Ye Yaodong went to move the stool at the door, he also looked inside through the window. After confirming that it was Aunt Ma, he immediately moved the stool next to A Guang and sat down, then poked him in a gossipy voice.

"It's done? We're a family now?"

"Ah."

"This time it's quite straightforward. Before, it seemed to be dragging on and taking a long time to finalize."

"That's because I'm busy and don't have a sense of crisis, so I'm not that anxious. It just so happens that the weather has been bad these few days and I've been idle at home, so my dad just did the job first."

"So your father was almost carried home by them the day before yesterday?"

Ah Guang looked helpless, "The whole village knows about it?"

"Almost. I think so. Isn't this quite glorious? Your father will be proud of it if he tells others about it."

He shook his head and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen my dad so popular. When we talked about it at dinner, he really felt very honored."

"How did you suddenly appear and save your father?"

"Didn't the rain stop for a while? I've also finished my work for the flood season, so I wanted to go to the city earlier before it rains. Otherwise, who knows how long the rain will continue. I've been at home for more than half a month, and I can't sit still, so I thought about looking for you to see if I can give you a ride."

"So it just happened to happen? God must be unhappy with it and doesn't want your father to become their son-in-law."

"Stop talking nonsense. This matter ends here. My father has married Aunt Ma anyway. The news spread in the afternoon. Now they can only put away their evil ideas and put them on others."

Ye Yaodong looked around again, and seeing that the lights in the next room were on, he asked, "Where are your new brothers and sisters?"

"After dinner, we went back to our own homes. My dad and aunt had already discussed it. My aunt moved in with my dad, and her three unmarried children stayed at their own home. Apart from eating together, there was no difference in their daily lives. This also saved them from feeling uncomfortable. After all, they are old enough and not naive children anymore. Our family already has a house."

"That's just as we thought."

"Well, that's the best."

"Do you want a dowry?"

"My aunt said no, she said she was old and not a young girl anymore, and they could live together and have each other as companions, so there was no need to give any dowry, lest people laugh at her. But my father thought that she had three unmarried children, so she must have some money on hand, so he asked me and gave her 500 yuan."

"That's as it should be. Since we live together, I have to take care of her child."

500 yuan is really a lot. A normal first marriage would cost less than 500 yuan.

The dowry of three turns and one ring given to A Guang's eldest sister was worth about five or six hundred yuan. At that time, people in the village spread the word that his sister was a gold nugget and whoever married her would be blessed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that you were going to arrange for your eldest sister to get married as soon as possible after finishing the things at hand, so as to avoid any bad words from spreading? This time, Aunt Ma should also help to arrange it, right? She has also married two daughters, so she has experience."

Ah Guang's face suddenly darkened. "I get angry just talking about this. My father went to their house this morning to talk about it. Everything was originally fine, and they had decided to get married soon, after all, my sister is not young anymore. But the old lady in their family suddenly said that she wanted to find a midwife to come to their house to check the pregnancy. My father was so angry that he almost overturned the table, and then the matter was put on hold without any final decision."

After saying that, he sighed and looked like he had a headache.

"What do you think of this? Everything went smoothly but there were so many twists and turns. I'm so angry. But my dad is a grown man and he can't argue with an old woman. But I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."

"I don't know what to say now. If I marry her, I feel aggrieved. If people bring up their family in the future, it will be shameful. If I don't marry her, one girl has already failed. If a second girl fails, her reputation will be even worse. She will be 23 next year, and my younger sister will be 20. We can't afford to delay any longer."

"It's not her fault in the first place. She obviously didn't do anything, but if she quits one after another, then yes, she has to be picked out as wrong."

After hearing this, Ye Yaodong also felt that this was a difficult matter. The family did not raise the price, did not try to manipulate the price, and did not say anything. However, there was an old woman who was causing trouble, which was really annoying.

If after I get married, people often talk about this matter in disguise, throw dirty water on me, and bully me, then life would be very frustrating.

"Then put it aside for now?"

"My father doesn't want to come to our house to talk anymore, and my eldest sister is angry and says she won't get married, so let's just stay there for now. Wait and see when they will come to our house to talk. It's not a good deal even if they come to us. There's no way a girl would come to our house again and again and say she wants to get married."

"That's true. If it doesn't work out, then don't get married. Is it really impossible to get married? It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but how can you be afraid of not having a two-legged man? You can always find a good one, right?"

"My father is so depressed that he has been in a bad mood all day. If it weren't for the agreement that the two families would have dinner together today, Aunt Ma would have moved everything in this morning at a good time. He might have to go with Huang. Fortunately, she knew the situation and didn't mind my father's bad mood all day."

"It's just that the one who spoke was an old woman, and it was your father who came to your house. If your real mother came and heard it, she would definitely slap her twice."

"Who said it wasn't?" A Guang started swearing for a while before stopping.

Ye Yaodong also remembered the important matter he came here to discuss, and told him

"Then you'll have to ask my dad. Anyway, please help me arrange it. I'll take your tractor to the city tomorrow morning. There's nothing for me to do at home, so I'll go call my dad for you."

Pei's father had no objection to going out to sea tomorrow night. He had indeed been resting at home for many days. Getting married today would not affect his going out to sea tomorrow night at all.

After he made the decision with Pei's father, he went back first to avoid disturbing other people's bridal chamber.

I just learned about the situation from A Guang, and I have a general idea of ​​it. I will be able to give an explanation when his mother asks me about it when I go back.

He didn't say much about the matter of A Guang's eldest sister. After all, it was not a glorious thing. If it really got out, it would probably be spread in a different way, which would bring damage to her reputation.

The next morning, at the urging of Ye's sister-in-law, Ye's mother went to check the date for sailing with Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, but the date was not so coincidental.

Ye Yaopeng's was due in 8 days, and Ye Yaohua's was due on the 30th of the month, so they were on the same date. The factory had to rush the work to meet this deadline. If they couldn't, they would have to wait and see. The two brothers were only one week apart.

Sister Ye was a little dissatisfied with this date, "Isn't there a date two days earlier?"

"No, the time interval between you is just right. Your father went out to sea with Dongzi at night, and when he came back, he saw the boss's ship coming back."

"Ok."

"Also, now that you have a new boat, you won't need the old one anymore. Just return it to your father when the time comes."

"Ah? Give it back to Dad? Is Dad free to open it?"

"Let's rent it. Dongzi happens to have some people on hand to help us collect the goods. This boat was originally left by your grandfather, so it will be perfect for us to use in our old age."

Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye looked at each other.

"Let's wait until Apeng and Ahua come back in the evening before we talk about it?"

"Your father said that the two brothers agreed with him last year that they would return the old boat to him after the boat they ordered arrived, so that he could live on in his old age. Anyway, when I gave the boat to you last year, I didn't charge you for it, nor did I charge you for rent. Now you have your own boat anyway, so it doesn't matter to you whether you have the old boat or not, but it's different for us two old people, as we will rely on it for our old age."

Ye's mother spoke with confidence, and she had said in advance everything that Ye's father was embarrassed to say.

She felt that her two sons were not easy to talk to, and her daughter-in-law must have some ulterior motives, so she let her speak frankly.

"Then let's wait until they come back in the evening. Isn't it still a week before the ship returns?"

"Ah."

Mother Ye didn't hear them say anything and left with satisfaction.

Ye Yaodong sat in the yard watching the two little girls play, and at the same time packed up the things he was going to take out to sea at night. He also heard the noise coming from next door, but didn't take it seriously.

I heard that after his elder brother and second brother came back in the evening, they went to their hometown to find his father immediately. They said that they had agreed to return the old boat to his father after they got it in a few days.

Both of my brothers are actually quite filial.

After dinner, he rode his bicycle to the shipyard to drive a boat before it got dark, so he was not at home.

Fortunately, this time the shipyard kept its word and went over there and left immediately after paying the repair fee, without wasting his time any further.

On the way back, he passed through the town and refueled with gas and ice before docking at the village.

At night, they went out to sea again with the Harvest.

After switching to a more powerful engine, he clearly felt that the speed was faster. When running with the Harvest, he was obviously a little faster than it.

This even made Pei's father a little envious, and he said that when he goes back next time, he will swap the engines of the two boats.

They drove for several hours until daybreak, and then they started to cast their nets on both boats.

The sky was blue, the sea was blue, and a bright red sun emerged from the thick clouds after they had dragged a net. They had originally thought there would be no sunrise today as it was a cloudy day, but it turned out that they could still see it.

Seagulls were flying over the sea, following the stern of the boat, swooping down from time to time to pick up fish and shrimps that were tossed out of the water by the waves.

"June is about to begin. It goes so fast. It feels like half a year has passed, yet it feels like the Chinese New Year has just passed." Ye Yaodong stood on the wheelhouse and looked into the distance, occasionally looking at the people picking up goods on the deck.

Ye's father also came out and said, "Who calculates like you? It's only the end of March in the lunar calendar, and only a quarter of it has passed. How can it be half a year?"

"It's the end of May. According to the new calendar, isn't that fast?"

"You can do whatever you want."

After two days of fishing on the calm sea, they called in a fresh-fish collection ship on the third day to sell the catch and then continued working at sea.

This trip was peaceful. Everyone repeated the process of pulling in and lowering the nets, and the catch was average. We didn't encounter any large fish, nor any schools of fish.

However, it was a lucky thing for them to have a smooth homework.

But it was a little too early to say this, because when they calculated the time to return, they encountered a small school of knife fish.

Its body is long and narrow, with its sides flattened like a knife. Its silvery-white scales sparkle in the sun, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

The boatmen's reactions were normal, but Ye Yaodong's face was full of surprise. However, after he reacted, he also looked regretful.

This is another kind of fish that will be priced at a sky-high price in the future but is now a common commodity. What a pity.

He couldn't help but sigh again, wishing there was a portal that would allow him to transport the seafood of today to the modern era, or a recycling system would be fine. This was what was written in the novels he occasionally read in his previous life.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

"Such good fish, and we caught so many of them..."

"Several hundred kilograms... one kilogram costs thousands, that's tens of thousands times?? Shit..."

He squatted there, muttering to himself and then cursing twice.

The meat of knife fish is tender and delicious, especially the knife fish in spring, which is known as "the first fresh food of spring". However, the price difference before and after Qingming Festival is quite large, which can be half the price.

Chen Shi felt his reaction was a little strange, so he squatted beside him and asked doubtfully: "Brother Dongdong..."

"Well, pick them up separately. We have to go back anyway. Leave two pounds to eat. Do you want some?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"These fish bones are not tasty. When we bring back some thick fish, we can just pick up a few each."

"It's a pity that this fish can't be sold at a good price now."

"It's good that someone wants this fish. It has a lot of bones and little meat. But during the Qingming Festival, the price can be higher, maybe 20 cents. Now, if I buy it, it's only 10 cents at most."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

If he told them the future value of this fish, they would be shocked and think he was a lunatic.

There are three types of knife fish in my country. The one that migrates back to the Yangtze River from the sea is called "jiang knife". It tastes the most delicious, and the bones are soft and crispy. I heard that the tenderness of the knife fish at this time is difficult to describe in words!
I don't know if he is just bragging or not, anyway he has never tasted it, he just heard people bragging about it.

However, before the Qingming Festival, the Yangtze River knife fish often sells for thousands or even tens of thousands per kilogram!

The fish caught near the coast are "sea knife - slender in shape, like a lancet, silvery-white in color, slightly yellowish on the spine and fins, shiny and complete scales, and very attractive in appearance", which can also be sold for thousands of yuan per pound.

The ones that migrate to Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are called "lake knives".

There is also a kind called "River Knife", which appears in the river and is said to cost only a dozen yuan. There are slight differences in the body characteristics of the two, and it is generally not easy for experienced fishermen to tell the difference between them.

Although the tenderness of the meat of different knife fish varies slightly, the taste of steamed knife fish is still delicious, but it has too many bones. People who like to eat it will like it, and people who don’t like it will dislike it.

Nowadays, eating knife fish probably represents more of a vanity, and those who have eaten it can brag about it.

"Pick some up. There should be about 700 to 800 kilograms here..."

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

Just as he was squatting there picking up the fish on the deck with regret, he heard his father calling him from the wheelhouse above.

"What?" he said as he walked upstairs.

"My in-laws said that his propeller seemed to have hit several sharks, and the area around his fishing boat was bloody red. But his propeller seemed to be broken at the moment, so he couldn't move fast. We were asked to help him tow the boat away quickly, otherwise it would attract a group of sharks and cause trouble."

"Ah, still like this?"

He looked into the distance and saw that the Harvest was indeed moving very slowly on the sea and had really encountered a problem.

"Hurry up and ask everyone to prepare ropes and other things. I have already changed direction and moved over."

"understood."

Ye Yaodong went down quickly and told everyone to stop sorting and to prepare ropes and other tools first, so that when they got close, they could tie the boat to the back as soon as possible and drag it away from the original place.

When two boats travel together, they really have a companion. They can go in and out together, and help each other when encountering any situation without having to wait for rescue.

Otherwise, it would take most of the day just to wait, and you don’t know how much time would be wasted, or if you encounter danger, it would be too late if you arrive after a few hours.

The two ships gradually shortened the distance between them. When the Dongsheng got closer, the blood was no longer visible on the sea surface, as it had been diluted by the sea water.

But there were several three or four meter long sharks tumbling around the fishing boat. They were probably going crazy because of the pain and were ramming the fishing boat. He could still see the torn flesh on the sharks' backs while standing on the deck. The blood was diluted as soon as it seeped out, and it was painful just to look at it.

The fishing boat was swaying continuously after being hit. At the same time, he also saw sharks rushing over from a distance, their pointed dorsal fins standing out on the sea surface and were particularly conspicuous.

"Oh my god, hurry up... hurry over there, a bunch of sharks are attracted by the smell of blood."

If the fishing boat was in good condition, it could have left the place earlier and not been surrounded by the sharks. Now the only thing they can do is seize the time and run away.

Just thinking about being attacked by a group of sharks of that size would be a disaster.

Normally, they would keep to themselves, but now there is a smell of blood, and it has been surrounding the fishing boat for a long time, so it will definitely attract more and more big fish.

When the two boats approached each other, the Dongsheng was also attacked by sharks. The crews of the two boats nervously and anxiously looked at the sea while quickly tying the fishing boats together.

The group of sharks rushing over from afar also quickly came closer. They opened their huge mouths, with sharp and sinister teeth on them. If you were bitten by one of them, a large piece of flesh would definitely be torn off.

The fishing boat was also hit harder than before, swaying so much that the boatmen who were tying the ropes could hardly stand. They could only shout and ask everyone to speed up.

There were only a dozen sharks in this wave, but Ye Yaodong saw more sharks rushing towards him from a distance. He cursed, "We are about to go back, and this situation has happened. There are so many sharks, hurry up..."

"It's coming soon, it's coming soon..."

The boatmen looked around and saw another group of sharks coming, and they were sweating anxiously.

"OK OK……"

"It's time to sail..."

He listened to the boatmen's shouts and hurried to the wheelhouse, but without him saying anything, Father Ye had already driven the boat at full speed.

However, a one-to-two caravan certainly cannot be that fast, not to mention that their speed could not catch up with the sharks, and soon the sharks behind them caught up.

A large group of sharks swam around the fishing boat and hit it from time to time. The sharks with cuts on their backs from the propellers also followed the Harvest. Perhaps they were holding a grudge and did not hide to heal their wounds.

However, the smell of blood on its back also attracted many of its own kind to attack. While the sharks were chasing the fishing boat, they also bit their companions without mercy.

The smell of blood on the sea surface continued to spread. Several sharks that were beaten were covered in blood from being torn apart by their own kind. The strong smell of blood began to float around the two fishing boats in front and behind.

The blood dyed the sea red, but it began to be diluted by being washed away. However, as more sharks attacked, the smell of blood spread more and faster. The only way was for the fishing boats to slowly leave it behind as they moved forward, allowing the waves to dilute it faster.

However, because the group of sharks kept chasing the two fishing boats madly, more and more sharks were attracted and gathered along the way, and the guns on their boats had already been taken out.

And looking at the sharks' attack, Ye Yaodong had already planned to shoot, but he had concerns in his mind. With two sharks on the boat, the fishing boat couldn't move fast. If he shot, the sharks might become even more crazy. He was worried that it would attract more large fish.

"What should we do? Adong, should we shoot?"

"There are so many sharks, more and more sharks..."

"Look at the sea in the distance. Those with pointed dorsal fins are sharks, right? Come over here..."

"Shoot the ones that hit the hardest, aim at their eyes and don't be stingy with your bullets, we have plenty of ammunition."

I heard that when attacked by a shark, all you have to do is hit its eyes and it will be injured and run away. But looking at your shooting skills, it may not be able to impress the eyes, so you can only try your best.

A few gunshots rang out, the white flowers on the sea surface turned blood red, and the sea water churned even more violently.

After the gunshots rang out from their side, gunshots also rang out from the fishing boats behind them.

The fishing boat tried to speed up as much as possible, but because of the smell of blood, it kept attracting sharks to join the attack along the way. At this time, there were no sharks following and attacking the fishing boat. They had probably been torn apart and eaten by the sharks. As the number of sharks increased, the fishing boat was hit more violently.

In the bright sunshine at noon, no one knew whether it was because of anxiety or the sun, but sweat was pouring down their foreheads. They held the guns in their hands tighter and tighter, and the sound of gunfire never stopped.

At the same time, the number of sharks chasing from all directions was increasing. Ye's father could not bear the pressure anymore and turned around and headed for the nearest provincial capital. He was worried that if they continued to drive in the middle of the sea, they would attract sharks along the way and the two fishing boats would be in danger.

However, when approaching the provincial capital, it also attracted sharks along the way, and the number of sharks continued to grow along the way.

Everyone was nervous and kept looking at the sea. Fortunately, they had guns in their hands. The sharks were so close that they basically never missed their shots. Even if they missed the eyes, they could mostly hit the head and body, which would then cause them to attack each other and give the fishing boats some respite.

They had already returned and were working on the way back, so the distance to the provincial capital was not that far, but it took about three hours to drive there, and the gunfire did not stop along the way.

The gusts of sea breeze brought by the fishing boat still made them sweat.

As they got closer to the coast, there were more fishing boats operating on the sea, but the number of sharks surrounding them also increased. The two boats were surrounded by densely packed sharks attacking each other from head to toe. The blood dyed the area around the two fishing boats red, and even the passing fishing boats were frightened.

Some fishing boats panicked and fled far away, but others followed behind, watching helplessly as sharks swarmed in from all directions.

The boatmen relaxed a little when they saw several trawlers following behind them. Even if a fishing boat attacked by sharks was overturned, it would not be doomed.

"We should be near the coast now. I see a lot of fishing boats. One of them is following us..."

"We just need to get to the coast. We should be able to reach the shore in less than an hour. I was so nervous along the way..."

"My clothes are soaked..."

"Hurry up and change the magazine. We can't finish all the bullets. There are more and more..."

"Fortunately, they will kill each other..."

"But if they attack each other, the blood will attract more..."

"Stop talking and focus. It's still early before we reach the shore."

Everyone was so nervous just now that they had no time to talk. They kept staring at the sea and trying to keep their bodies steady. They didn't dare to get close to the side of the boat for fear of being bitten by a shark, which would really be bloody.

There were three of them stuck in the aisles on both sides of the cabin. Two of them were stacked on top of each other and biting each other, but they had already died from lack of water and struggling. They didn't see any on the stern deck, so they didn't know if there were any. They probably would have slipped down and been eaten if they jumped up.

It was only at this moment when they got closer to the coast and saw fishing boats following behind that everyone felt relieved.

It was getting close to dusk at this time, and the fishing boats were gradually approaching the shore. Probably they were all on the way, so more and more boats were gathering at the back.

I wonder what the fishing boats they met around them thought of them? Anyway, as they moved forward, they only saw more and more fishing boats gathering behind them, and the bloody smell that lasted for a long time attracted more sharks to gather around them.

Layer after layer of sharks appeared and floated up and down beside the fishing boat. They could not tell how many there were. There were some big ones of three to five meters and some small ones of one to two meters. The dead ones were replaced by others. There were also many sharks living near the coast.

They could only temporarily repel the enemy with the guns in their hands.

When the fishing boat gradually approached the coast, even the small wooden boat was frightened and ran away.

The busy people on the dock on the shore had filled up at some point, pointing at the two boats that were gradually approaching, and looking at the large fish crashing into the two boats in horror.

The shark didn't know they were approaching the shore and continued to follow them around.

Seeing the coast right in front of them, Father Ye and Father Pei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sped up to reach the shore.

The fishing boats following behind were gradually approaching, and everyone was about to dock.

A bunch of sharks also affected their approach to the shore. Some people looked at so many big sharks and excitedly took out their guns to fight together.

There were constant gunshots on the sea. When they got closer to the dock, the number of sharks around did not decrease. And because there were more injured sharks, the frenzy caused by the smell of blood became more intense. Some fishermen were affected and spontaneously took out their guns and started shooting.

Rare bursts of gunfire were heard at the dock, and the people on the shore were pointing excitedly.

Water splashed all around the Dongsheng and Fengshou, and what was churning up was blood. From time to time, one or two huge sharks jumped onto the ship and struggled all over the deck.

The boatmen who didn't have guns held thick sticks in their hands. When they saw sharks jumping up, they attacked the heads with all their might and killed them first.

The nearby fishing boats also managed to catch one or two fish that jumped up, and they also quickly attacked with sticks.

After a long time, the gunshots gradually stopped, and the number of sharks on the sea gradually decreased. However, the blood also dyed the entire surface of the water near the shore red, and some people took the opportunity to salvage injured sharks.

However, injured sharks are more aggressive and cannot be caught or pulled up with hand-cast nets. Their sharp teeth will directly bite through the fishing nets, and then they will take the opportunity to escape.

The dead sharks were either eaten or sank to the bottom of the water and then eaten.

By the time most of the sharks were either injured or dragged away by their own kind, the sea gradually calmed down and the boatmen all sat down on the deck.

"Oh, we finally chased them away. It was so scary, there were so many of them."

"Fortunately, the light was good in broad daylight, and my aim was a little better, so I finally decided to leave."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest on the shore first."

The surrounding fishing boats gradually came over and shouted at them loudly.

"Brother, how did you attract such a large group of sharks?"

Ye Yaodong listened to their conversation half-guessingly, and responded loudly in Mandarin, "Thank you all for your help. These were attracted by the smell of blood, and more and more appeared along the way."

"These sharks are so fierce, you have to be careful."

"You guys are lucky this time. You can come back even after provoking so many sharks."

"Luckily I have a lot of guns, otherwise I don't know what would happen. I still have to bring a few more guns when I go out to sea. I can't be reluctant to buy them. I still have to buy what I need."

"Thank God for Mazu's blessing. They are attacking each other. With the attraction of their own kind, they will attack fishing boats less."

"It is indeed Mazu's blessing, I hope everything is fine..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. You have four or five sharks on each boat. This one weighs several hundred kilograms. It can be sold for a good price."

"Even if we sell it for a good price, it may not be enough to subsidize the ammunition. It's better to be safe."

"Yes, we would rather earn less and live in peace."

"That's right. Making money is not as important as safety. It's enough to earn a living safely..."

The surrounding fishing boats were all talking there, and the boatmen of their two boats were sitting there catching their breath, planning to rest for a while. After being tense for a long time, everyone was a little exhausted.

The crowd gathered on the shore did not disperse, they were still looking at the blood on the sea that had not yet dissipated and were talking about it.

Seeing that there were no more threats around, Ye Yaodong took away all the guns and ammunition in their hands and put them away.

The hot weapons in their hands are enough to intimidate people.

After Ye's father put away the guns and other things, he also said to him: "Fortunately, the two boats are together and can rescue us. If we wait for the rescue boat on the sea, it would be like waiting to die."

"It's good that everything is fine. We were supposed to take care of each other."

"The sun hasn't set yet, so let's rest for a while. Once we've rested enough, we can move all the goods on the ship to the shore. Now that we're in the province, we can sell them in the provincial capital."

"Well, let them wash the decks and rinse them to get rid of the smell before we leave."

"Let's rest for a while."

As Ye's father spoke, he followed him down to the deck.

At this time, Pei's father also leaned against the side of the boat and shouted to everyone, "This trip is really hard for everyone. I'm sorry to bother you all. Fortunately, you all helped. After the goods are sold, I will also give everyone a red envelope to calm their nerves."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. We're all from the same village..."

"Thank you. No one can predict what will happen at sea. I hope you are safe."

"Yes, as long as you are safe, I will burn some more incense for Mazu later."

"You have to pray more. If you encounter dangerous storms and waves at sea, you have to rely on Mazu's protection."

"Go back and burn some gold, silver and treasures for Mazu..."

"definitely……"

Ye Yaodong asked Pei's father, "Is it just the propeller that's broken? Is the engine okay?"

"Both engines are fine, and I don't know how the propeller underneath broke."

"Did it get damaged by a group of sharks?"

"It's hard to say. We have to take it to the factory for inspection to know. We clearly checked it in advance before we set out, and there are no problems."

"This is a deep-water port, so we can't run aground. We're not familiar with the province, so let's take it back to the county and have the shipyard inspect it carefully. You also want to replace the engine, right? Then we can send the captured ship to the shipyard and fix it together."

"Well, luckily everything is fine. We are taking care of each other."

"Yes, it's too dangerous on the sea. When the boats built by my eldest and second brothers arrive next year, we will have three boats by then, and the safety factor will be a little higher."

"You guys should rest for a while. I'll go to the nearby shores to see if there's any food and buy some. Everyone, eat something first to replenish your energy. You can get busy after you've rested enough."

"Ok."

Father Pei immediately ran to the shore to find something to eat.

At this time, Lao Hai also squeezed through the crowd on the shore, walked down the steps, stood on the shore and asked them with concern.

"Are you guys okay?"

"It's okay, I'm lucky."

"Oh my god, such a large group of sharks dyed a large area of ​​the sea red with their blood. They made us excited. There were bursts of gunfire. Fortunately, nothing happened. God bless us."

"Yes."

"Do you want to lift these sharks on the boat? Do you want to sell them? Sell them to me?"

"Okay, this fish is pretty big and heavy. Even a small one weighs several hundred kilograms. Let's rest a bit and then lift it up together."

"Okay, okay, okay, then you guys take a rest first, I'll go to the shore and wait for you first."

Everyone waited for Pei's father to come back with food, and only continued to clean up the mess after they had eaten their fill.

There were four huge sharks lying on the deck of the Dongsheng, and the Fengshou was no less deadly, with five sharks lying on the bow, stern and aisles, all of them were dead beyond death.

The smallest ones weighed several hundred kilograms. The boatmen tied them up with ropes and took several sticks. The six of them carried them ashore together.

The other fish are still in the fish warehouse and have not been moved out yet. Let’s move those that are blocking the way ashore first.
