Chapter 1102 Chaos
The father and son stood in the corner and waited for a while. When they saw that their familiar people had sold out and came out one after another, a group of people kept their mouths shut and walked out under the pointing and gesturing of the locals.
As they walked together, the group brought by Chen Jianian also walked together. The two groups of people followed one after another, and they looked like a large group of people.
Some small gangs in the town were not as many as them, so no one dared to pick a fight with them.
Even if some honest local fishermen were dissatisfied with such a large group of people coming to their town to grab resources, they did not dare to fight against them.
A large number of people would scare people, and honest people would take the initiative to avoid them when they saw them.
As long as they did not cause trouble, no one would dare to take the initiative to provoke them.
The person next to him looked at the noisy crowd that had left the dock and said, "Dongzi, what they said at the dock just now..."
"They are right to be dissatisfied. Who asked such a large group of us to come to their territory? They can't do anything to us, and can only say a few words to vent their dissatisfaction."
"Then they will definitely go there tomorrow..."
"Go if you want to. The place has been known to others, and we can't stop it..."
"Aren't there more boats? What are we going to salvage? There are still so few today, and one person can't get a few, so everyone can only wait and see."
"There is nothing we can do. We can only hope that there will be more tomorrow, and it would be best if the flood season comes quickly."
When the number is the largest, salvage for a few days and divide it up. If there is no more later, there will be no conflict, and we can only look for it ourselves. Ye Yaodong thought as optimistically as possible.
"It's really hard to make money. I told you right. You said at home that it's not that easy to make money this year..."
"You're right. It's a lot earlier. The locals caught up with us before we even started fishing. There are too many boats coming from our town. We can't tell their people from the locals at all."
"That's probably what they think."
Both sides think the other side has too many people.
"I'm starving. Let's go back and eat first. Anyway, we can fight back and cover up the water. We already know it. There's nothing we can do. We hate them, and they hate us for stealing resources even more."
Ye Yaodong is generous and fat. Anyway, he had thought of it a long time ago. Now it's just earlier. It doesn't make a big difference. At most, there will be one more local to share. It's a three-legged tripod.
The locals don't have many trawlers. There are only 20 to 30 in the evening. Most of them are small wooden boats. There are about 100 to 200 small wooden boats.
This town is not as prosperous as their town, and the population doesn't seem to be as large as theirs.
Everyone talked as they walked, but they could only curse a few times to vent their dissatisfaction.
After dinner, everyone gathered around Ye Yaodong as usual. In addition to discussing the locals knowing the location, they also asked him if they would not go into the water next.
He just said perfunctorily that he had to wait until the jellyfish passed. In the future, he was the same as everyone else and could do nothing except fishing for jellyfish.
The longline fishing line brought back in the evening was also stacked together and placed in the corner of the house. This could only be left there idle and taken home when he returned.
Chen Jianian came over as usual and talked about the same thing, but after talking about it, there was still no solution and no one could stop it. The current situation was that they could only fish for their own, not interfere with each other, and try to reduce the occurrence of conflicts.
Although they were many in number, they were immigrants. They could run away if they got into trouble, but they could not make money. They came out to make money, not to cause trouble.
When everyone asked about chatting, he also said these words, and then he didn't say much, just told everyone to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow.
When Ye's father returned to his room, he was still worried, "I probably won't make much money this year..."
"Dad, do you have any misunderstandings about making money? We have already made 10,000 yuan, and you still say we can't make much money?"
"No, I mean that the folks who followed me out probably won't make much money either."
"I've reminded you a long time ago, I'm not a god, I can't predict everything."
"I probably have to go back early this year..."
"Don't think about it, it's useless to just think about it until the matter comes."
After thinking about it, Ye Yaodong asked his father again, "Aguo and the others can't keep up with the main force these days, their boats can only stay along the coast, have they gone out to sea these two days?"
"I heard No, I just lie at home, and every evening I have to go to your elder brother and second brother to talk to them, beg them, and then go to Ah Sheng. When I went to your elder brother and second brother's place before, I heard them gloating, saying that the locals knew that everyone would not make money this year, and they would be like them, and they deserved it. "
He pursed his lips, with a look of disgust, "How can there be such a big difference between the same parents?"
"Honest people are bullied, and honest people don't get along with them, and don't care about them."
"I spent a lot of effort to make trouble just to come here to make money, but now I'm lying there," Ye Yaodong said with disgust, "Sleep, ignore them, it's better to lie down until I get home."
Father Ye muttered a few more words, "Fortunately, we have made money, unlike others..."
The next morning, when they gathered at the dock, they found that there seemed to be fewer fishing boats on the dock. There was no need to bring longline fishing today, so everyone was empty-handed and did not need to carry things on board.
But the boatman who was sleeping on the boat said: "Before dawn, I heard the movement of several local boats going out to sea. I walked out to take a look and heard them say that they went ahead to guard."
"Damn, he scolded the neighbor, so shameless..."
"Yesterday he secretly followed behind us, and today he wanted to intercept in advance, so shameless..."
"Let's go quickly too, don't let them get ahead..."
"When it's dark, jellyfish will sink to the bottom of the water."
"But now it's dawn, we have been ahead, we have to hurry too."
Everyone hurriedly boarded the boat and then drove out.
They got up not too late, and were already at the dock just after daybreak. Today was earlier than the previous two days. When there were not many fish in the previous few days, everyone got up a little later. After all, they couldn't catch more if they went earlier.
Fishing boats hurriedly left the shore, and soon the dock was empty, leaving only small wooden boats.
Everyone rushed to the trench with all their strength.
Sure enough, when they arrived, there were more than a dozen fishing boats parked on the sea near the trench, all of which were already salvaging jellyfish floating on the sea surface, and as soon as these dozens of boats arrived, they immediately participated in the salvage.
There were still some jellyfish left on the sea surface that had not been cleaned up, but they disappeared in a moment.
All the local fishing boats looked at each other, and their mouths kept moving.
It was guessed that they were cursing, but the distance between the fishing boats was far away, and there were constant sounds of waves and wind, so they couldn't be heard without shouting loudly.
In addition, the jellyfish that were not cleaned up were far away from their fishing boats and out of reach, so there was no conflict.
After the fishing was completed, the scene suddenly became quiet. All the fishing boats stopped on the sea. Since it was inconvenient to talk, no one shouted loudly there, and it seemed to be deadlocked.
After a while, the jellyfish on the sea surface kept popping up like mushrooms after rain, and the frequency was much greater than yesterday. At this time, no one cared about other boats. Everyone stared at the jellyfish popping up on the sea surface, and then rowed towards the ones close to them to salvage.
Ye Yaodong brought out ten small boats today. Once they arrived at the place, they salvaged the remaining goods first, and then asked them to go to the small boats in groups of two, and then untied the rope tied behind the big boat, and let them play on the sea by themselves.
Ye's father also took three people to their No. 002 boat to salvage, and several boats acted separately.
"There are really a lot of fish today..."
"Yes, is it really that much? Was it the same when you came here last year?"
"When we came here last year, the whole sea was full of fish, not like now, where they are popping up one by one. They have been floating on the sea for a long time, waiting for us to catch them all. We can't catch them all from morning to night."
"Really? So it's still a small amount now?"
"Of course, it's just a small amount now. They are just popping up one by one, which is nothing compared to last year, where they were all there and we could catch them as much as we wanted. "No wonder, everyone who came here last year made a fortune, but now they are just like bamboo shoots after the rain, constantly popping up, and they are not as good as your salvage last year." "It's just that we came earlier this year, and there are more boats, so there is no time for them to accumulate. If they accumulate for two days, they will definitely be a large number." Ye Yaodong listened to the boatmen talking about it, and thought to himself, how could there be time to accumulate them now? If they float up, they will catch one, no matter how big or small, and they can't even attract their natural enemies, sea turtles, let alone accumulate them. Someone nearby also said, "How can we accumulate now? There are so many boats, not enough to share, don't think about accumulating."
"Now we can only try to salvage one by one. Our boat is too big, and it's a small wooden boat that is flexible. It doesn't cost any gas to row on the sea. Two people can catch a super large jellyfish together."
"The number is still too small. There is not enough to share. If we catch a few, we can only wait there."
"It's much better than other boats. They still have to look for them on the sea. We can just wait here. If we are lucky enough to see a few more jellyfish floating on the side, we will make money..."
Other fishing boats on the sea are also busy there. They will not let go of any jellyfish they see. He looked at the local fishing boats that came earlier. The people on the boats were all smiling. Maybe today's scene was beyond their expectations.
There were too many people and little work, so he didn't need to work. Ye Yaodong was idle there, looking at the sea all the time, either looking at the boats or the jellyfish that popped up.
Not long after, he noticed that the number of fishing boats had increased again. Perhaps word of mouth really spread like wildfire.
Only one night had passed, and now he estimated that there were already 1/3 more fishing boats on the sea. The local trawlers were probably here. Everyone stared at the sea with golden eyes. As long as there was a jellyfish that appeared, they would rush over immediately to see who would catch it first.
Some fishing boats kept moving on the sea. After a while, he couldn't tell which ones were locals and which ones were fishing boats from their town.
Just then, he saw two boats in front of him that were very close to each other, and then the people on the boats were hitting each other with hand nets in their hands. In an instant, other people on the boats also poked at each other with bamboo poles.
But after a few hits, they stopped and then fished on the sea again.
Ye Yaodong was holding a telescope, but he was just a step late. He didn't see it at the beginning, and he didn't know why they stopped halfway through the hit, and then immediately separated.
But this seemed to be a signal. Not long after the two boats finished hitting, another fishing boat collided with each other, and then poked each other with long bamboo poles.
There were three boats next to him. Because of two large jellyfish floating next to each other on the sea, they also collided with each other and insulted each other. After a while, they found that two boats were from Chen Jianian and one was from the locals.
So they united and attacked the locals together. In the end, the locals didn't get the chance to grab the boats. They were taken away by the two boats one by one. They couldn't beat the two boats and finally had to sail to the side.
"They all started fighting, Adong..."
"I saw it..."
It seemed that everyone was restraining themselves from causing conflicts at the beginning. Later, they saw that some boats had already started conflicts. Everyone couldn't suppress their nature. When there were interests to fight for, who would let you go?
"Adong, look, the boat just called two boats to come over and besiege..."
Ye Yaodong just turned his head to look, but heard a burst of gunfire not far away. He widened his eyes, looked towards the sound again, and said "Fuck".
"Fuck, this is the first day they were discovered, what are they going to do?"
The fishing boats that were originally entangled in fighting stopped at this time, attracted by the gunshots, and immediately drove away from each other.
"Whose are those two boats?"
"They are from our town and look like locals. I don't recognize them..."
Ye Yaodong put his sunglasses in his chest pocket and held a telescope in his hand. However, he couldn't see their faces clearly at a distance, but he could tell from their hats, clothes and the hull that they were not from their village.
"They are using guns now, what will happen in two days?"
"Maybe in two days, it will be better if there are more people. Only when there are fewer people will they rob..."
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He didn't know where the gunshots just now came from. The two boats were now deadlocked. All the fishing boats on the sea instantly became more honest, and all the fighting stopped, and then dispersed. Not all fishing boats had guns.
His small wooden boats also tried to get closer to him from a distance. Other boats were about to fight, and their small boat was not strong enough. If they were hit a few more times, they would capsize.
Just in case, he also went to the cockpit to take out a few guns and put them beside him, so that he would not have to go upstairs to get them when he needed them. If he had that time, he would probably be beaten to death.
I thought that today was the first day of the leak, and the conflict would not escalate so quickly. I didn't expect that only two or three hours had passed, and there was still a lot of time today.
The scene that was originally out of control has returned to a little calm, but he always feels that this is the calm before the storm, and the boatmen on the boat are also beginning to get nervous.
"It's only been a short while since the chaos. Will people be killed later..."
"Who knows? Fortunately, our ship is big, so no one should dare to mess with us."
"After the fight, the chaos has become chaotic. Who cares if your ship is big or not? It's only been a short while since the incident, so everyone is still afraid and the conflict hasn't been big yet..."
"Everyone should be more restrained and just salvage what's in front of them."
"Our ship hasn't moved."
Because his Dongsheng consumes oil, it has been salvaging in the same place, and the ship has not moved at all.
"Well, let's wait and see."
Ye Yaodong wished he had 8 eyes and looked carefully around to avoid another gunshot.
He thought he couldn't salvage here. This was only the first day. As time went on and the conflicts intensified, wouldn't several people die every day?
Because of the gunshot, everyone's heart trembled, and then they were rare to calm down for a few hours.
However, as time went by, more and more jellyfish emerged from the sea, just like colorful bubbles. The fishing boats on the sea also moved around with the jellyfish, and from time to time they started to collide, insult and fight.
Ye Yaodong could not care about other people. He could only stand on the rudder tower and look down from a high place, constantly staring at his own small boats, his father's side, and occasionally glanced at his eldest brother, second brother and a few friends.
He would also take a look at the boats of his village. He could tell who the fishing boats of his village belonged to by looking at the hull.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that a strange fishing boat was very close to the boat driven by his father, and the people bent over to fish with hand nets greeting each other.
He suddenly felt something was wrong, and directly handed the gun to the other boatmen, told them to act according to the situation, and then climbed into the cockpit and drove towards his father.
Looking down from a high place, he saw that the other party also took a bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole was sharpened, and attacked the boatmen on his father's side directly, and both sides started fighting with bamboo poles.
And with the surge of the waves, the two boats were getting closer and closer, and his heart was lifted. Knives and guns have no eyes. This sharpened bamboo pole is no different from a gun. It is so sharp that if it really pierces someone, it can directly pierce into the flesh and kill on the spot.
He increased the power, turned the direction, and crashed directly into the back of the other boat.
All the fishing boats that were fighting were knocked to the ground by the shock. In addition, the Dongsheng was much larger than the other boat, and they collided directly. The raised bow was nearly two meters high, and it directly pressed on the other boat's rear deck, causing the other boat's bow to also lift up.
The people on the boat were hit and didn't know which way was east, south, west, or north. Because the bow was raised and the stern was low and slanted, everyone slid to the stern unconsciously and slid directly under the bow of the Dongsheng.
If it weren't for the raised bottom of the Dongsheng's bow, everyone would have fallen into the sea.
He drove the Dongsheng backwards, and the fishing boat was freed from the suppression and fell back to the water from the raised state, and the rear deck was also wet by the accumulated sea water.
The people stuck on the rear deck were like drowned rats, and they all held the iron railings of the fishing boat tightly in their hands to prevent being thrown into the water.
Ye Yaodong refused to give up and changed direction. Seeing that his father's boat had taken the opportunity to move to the side, he bumped into it again after it was a little further away.
With a few splashes, the people who had just stood up after seeing the boat stabilized and had not yet stabilized their bodies fell into the water in an instant.
He then drove the boat to the side where his father was, and only went down to the deck after it was docked.
Father Ye wiped his sweat and took off his hat to fan himself, "Dongzi..."
"What happened? I saw that boat was very close, and then you started fighting."
"What else could it be? We fought over jellyfish."
The person next to him also said, "It was obviously closer to us. The people on that boat saw that the jellyfish was as big as a table, so they destroyed it and didn't let us get it."
He frowned, "It's too chaotic."
"Adong, everyone on that boat fell into the water. That boat..."
"Just teach them a lesson. They will be able to climb back on board in a while. Locals, what else do you want? Drive his boat away?"
The boatman laughed awkwardly, "Aren't there still jellyfish on that boat?"
"It's only been a short while, not many. The amount, not to mention that after two collisions, it has already been all over the deck. Most of it is estimated that it has fallen back into the sea, or has begun to turn into water. "
"Oh oh..."
Father Ye frowned, "It's not easy, it's so chaotic today... There was already a boat in front of us that collided with us, and then we started talking and found out that it was from our town, so everyone was at peace."
"If it were just the two of us, everything would be easy to talk about. We all came from the same place, and now there is a local who thinks we are robbing them..."
Ye Yaodong was also depressed, "I can't do it. It's so chaotic. Everyone is concentrated in this sea. Sooner or later, someone will die."
Just then, two more gunshots rang out, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
But they saw that when they were not paying attention, four or five boats collided with each other. They were driving their boats and constantly hitting each other, and everyone had long bamboo poles in their hands, poking each other.
On the sea, fishing boats were so close to each other that weapons were useless. The most useful thing was to sharpen bamboo poles, which were a must for every boat and second only to guns.
After two gunshots, everyone stopped there again.
Ye Yaodong was so nervous that he didn't know if he had hit anyone. He found that there were two boats that he was familiar with.
"Dad, that's the boat of Zheng and Xiaoxiao's family. They had a conflict with the locals. I'll go over to take a look. You stay here, be careful, and go with those small wooden boats."
He told the boatman again, "Hide well, hold guns for self-defense. If they don't hit us, just hide."
Ye's father was worried, "Then be careful, or don't go. It seems that there is no fight..."
Ye Yaodong didn't hear the second half of his father's words. He had already collected the anchor and walked to the cockpit.
The crazy fishing boats on the sea suddenly sobered up. When he drove the boat to his friend's side, he looked at the watch on his hand. It was just after 12 o'clock. So much trouble had happened in just half a day. It seemed that he couldn't stay here anymore...
When he got closer, he saw that the people holding guns were A Zheng and Xiao Xiao. They pointed their guns at the opposite side, and their words should be threatening them to leave.
The two boats that were originally close to them also quickly ran away.
When he arrived, all the fishing boats around them had run away, and he breathed a sigh of relief as they were far away from them.
After he came down to the deck, he saw that some people on their boat were injured, and a small area of the deck was stained with blood, which made him feel nervous.
"Are there any casualties?"
Xiaoxiao spat, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Fuck the bastards, I really want to shoot them, two of them were stabbed in the shoulder and arm, I have to drive back to take them to get bandaged."
A Zheng also said angrily: "If I hadn't been rational, the two gunshots just now would have been aimed at them, at least one of them would have been killed."
Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, it would have been okay if he was just injured, there were so many boats and so many people on the sea, no matter which side had died, it would have been a big deal, and they would have seen it, and it was impossible to kill everyone.
If they had pointed their guns at people just now, they would have killed them directly, and if they hadn't killed the others on the boat, they would have been finished when they returned, and the best result would have been to run away directly, and take everyone else with them to run away quickly.
"It's okay to kill one person, but the worst thing is that you only killed one person and didn't kill all of them."
"Damn, it's so unlucky. I just came out and it seems that I can't do anything. It's so chaotic." Xiao Xiao cursed a lot, and the gun in his hand also knocked against the edge of the boat.
"It's good that no one is alive. I was afraid that they were the ones who shot. No matter who of you was killed, we couldn't find who did it."
When he came just now, he also thought that it should be only the two of them who shot. The locals didn't prepare in advance, and there might not be guns on the boat. But when they came here, most of the outsiders came, and most of them had prepared guns on the boat.
And they, the outsiders, would also have some concerns. They were still thinking about making money, and they would not shoot people directly, unless they could kill them all directly, and no one would know.
"These people are like crazy people, they grab everything they see, as if they have never seen anything before."
"They have been upset since yesterday, thinking that such a precious place was not discovered by the locals, but was occupied by us outsiders. Moreover, we made a lot of money last year, and they saw it, but they can't do anything about it."
"Damn, bastard, fuck his ancestors, what can I do?"
Ye Yaodong frowned, "It's only been half a day and the conflict is so big now. If the conflict accumulates for a day or two, the gunfire will not stop, and we will have to fight to the death."
"Just kill a few of them and run away."
Xiaoxiao looked at the injured people on the boat, and the anger in his heart could not be stopped. One of the injured was his brother, who was usually quite calm. The impulsive one was only Ah Zheng, and today he looked more impulsive than Ah Zheng.
His other brothers advised, "Drive the boat back to the clinic first. It's too chaotic here. Let's leave first."
A Zheng looked into the distance and pointed, "There's another fight over there. Sooner or later, someone will die. Today is just the beginning. No one is that excited..."
