Chapter 1104 Half the People Are Missing

Father Ye didn't say much and hurried back to the rental house.

The boatmen who came back earlier had packed up their things. Everyone frowned and stood in the open space at the door, talking and listening to the noise in the distance.

"Fortunately, we came back early at noon, otherwise we would have been like them, with our brains beaten out..."

"Who said it wasn't? When we first went there in the morning, everyone was still able to take it easy and control themselves, but in the afternoon, their tempers exploded."

"Of course, no one is a soft persimmon. In other people's places, you can barely endure it once or twice, but how can you endure it all the time?"

"This kind of weather is so hot, and people are angry. Who can endure it after a few provocations? I almost couldn't stand it in the morning. If I didn't have a gun in my hand, I would have fought with them long ago."

"That's right, in the morning, They robbed us several times. We were just a small wooden boat, so we didn't dare to fight them. We were afraid that they would hit us and we would flip into the sea. We could only let them go. "

"I don't know what's going on outside. I just heard the gunshots..."

"The locals are scared away. They are all paper tigers. They just shouted so loudly that blood debts must be paid with blood. When I heard the gunshots, I hated my parents for not giving me two more legs..."

"That's right. When there are no gunshots, it will probably be calm..."

As soon as Ye Yaodong and his father ran back, everyone surrounded them and asked them a lot of questions. They didn't know who to answer.

"I don't know when they will stop. I originally wanted to wait for you on the boat, but I thought I'd better come here first. Have you packed your things? Are all the people here?"

Thinking that these people have no backbone, they don't want to be killed by the locals in the chaos. If he waits on the boat, he will be anxious. It's better to come back together.

"Everything is packed up and piled into baskets. When the noise outside stops, we can carry the baskets and get on board."

"Two people are still missing. It's too chaotic. I don't know where they went."

Father Ye said, "Dongzi, go pack your things first. I'll go see if your elder brother and second brother are back."

At this time, A Guang also ran over anxiously and asked, "Are we leaving right away?"

"We have to wait until the noise outside stops and the pier is no longer chaotic. Then we can get on board. You guys hurry up and pack your things."

"My father just saw that something was wrong and asked someone to pack it up. He asked me to come and ask. Fortunately, I came back early. Now that the chaos has started, it can't be resolved peacefully. No matter whether we are in the same group with them or not, the label of outsiders is on us and we can't get rid of it. The resentment of the locals will also implicate us."

"Well, let's leave this town first and talk about it on the sea."

While they were talking, the villagers also came over to ask questions, all asking what to do. Knowing that everyone had packed up and were ready to leave, they also hurried back to pack up.

The landlords of the rental houses didn't know what to do with them. Although they blamed these outsiders for causing trouble, they knew they were two different groups after a few days of getting along with each other. They were polite to each other in daily life. Moreover, they came back in the afternoon, so the gunfight on the dock had nothing to do with them.

While waiting, Ye Yaodong also paid the wages of the two landlords who cooked for the past few days. The rent was paid in advance, so there was no need to collect it.

"The police are arresting people... The police are arresting people..."

"Many police ran over with their guns..."

"It's so late, the fighting is probably over..."

"They have to call people, and they have to get a permit to go to the ammunition depot to get guns. If more people don't go, they will die. They are all so angry..."

"I guess they will wait until the fighting is almost over before going over, otherwise the bullets will have no eyes..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"If these police go over, they will probably be able to control the situation in a short time. Let's get ready. Those who have shoulder poles can use shoulder poles, and those who don't have shoulder poles can carry baskets."

The other villagers packed up their things, and the two missing people in front ran back while talking, and the other villagers all gathered around him, waiting for the outside world to calm down and leave quickly.

Their conflict has intensified. It doesn't mean that they are not guilty if they didn't do it. The title of an outsider is the original sin for the victim's family.

You can't see the situation at the dock here, but you can see the public security bureau nearby.

After waiting for a long time, a few gunshots were heard over there, and then it was quiet again. Then people started running towards the main road, shouting as they ran.

"They've all been arrested... All arrested, go out on the street without worry..."

This sentence was repeated over and over again.

They were relieved when they heard this while standing in the alley, and then after a while, they saw a large group of people surrounded by a group of big hats, and in the middle there was a large group of people tied up with ropes, and there were many people being carried behind.

The crowd cursed as they walked, but they didn't throw rotten eggs or rotten vegetable leaves. After all, there were locals and outsiders among them, and the locals were the majority. As long as they were present, they were all arrested, whether they were watching or participating.

Only those who ran fast at the beginning were not among them.

Some hid in the corners at the back, and those who wanted to see the situation were arrested without any discrimination.

Fortunately, there were no people involved in the incident. They knew the situation was not good and ran away quickly, fearing that they would be implicated.

In addition, they did not have any hot weapons in their hands. The hot weapons were all on Ye Yaodong's boat or in his hands. It was impossible for them to run out to see the situation with guns.

"Shoot them all... Outsiders are too bad. They came to our place with guns to kill people..."

"... They died tragically. What should we do with orphans and widows in the future..."

"The murderers must pay with their lives. They can't let them run away..."

"Did someone just run onto the boat and drive away? Many people ran away. Remember to drive the boat to catch them..."

"We have to search for people where they live. Don't let them run away. Don't let any of them go..."

The crowd was noisy, and more and more people gathered around.

During the gunfight, it was not suitable for ordinary people to show up to watch the excitement, but at this time, the people had been caught, so everyone ran out again. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and there were onlookers on both sides of the road.

Everyone followed him all the way to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, and they were still standing there talking.

"Shall we leave now?"

"It seems that everyone has entered the Public Security Bureau."

"Let's go. While everyone is here, quickly carry your things and go directly to the dock. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later. When they settle the people they have arrested, they will have to free up their hands to subdue us and arrest us first."

"We didn't do anything, but they still want to arrest us?"

Ye Yaodong trotted back and said, "Who made us from outside the area? There was a gunfight between outsiders and locals just now, so they have to be arrested first. As for when to release them, whether to release them, and how many years to lock them up, of course, they have the final say, so run away as soon as you can."

"It seems that a few people from the other side haven't come back. Some people took advantage of the free time in the afternoon to run away, and they haven't come back all afternoon...

"If they haven't come back at this time, there's nothing I can do. I can't keep everyone here to accompany one or two disobedient people. "

Father Ye also agreed and said, "Then move all the things to the boat first, and get everyone on board. It's good that nothing goes wrong on our side, and we can't care too much about other people."

"Knowing that there will be fighting and shooting everywhere, you will rush back, right? Now you haven't come back yet, you must have been arrested..."

"What if you are really taken away by the police?"

"If you are taken away, you can only stay in there and see what the local police will do. Don't say anything, take all the things and leave quickly. "

Ye Yaodong had been carrying his password box in his hand. He was still holding it when he ran to the alley entrance to check the situation. Although the big money had been sent back yesterday, there was not much money in it, but there were still several hundred yuan. He did not make much money today, and he did not know what would happen tomorrow, so he could not lose it.

A large group of them picked up their shoulder poles or hurriedly trotted out with baskets, and they took the shortcut, otherwise they would be surrounded by a group of people if they took the main road.

The other villagers had just moved their things to them in advance, and now they were trotting together. They just exchanged a few words while running. There were really five or six people from the village who did not come back.

But now there is no time to take care of anything, and there is no time to look everywhere. They have to get on the boat first. At most, they can come back to check the situation in a few days.

How can a few people be more important than a large group of people.

"You said that the locals and the people over there were caught all night after fighting to death. Will it be easy for us tomorrow?"

"Oh, fuck! Just thinking about the fight just now, the dead, all arrested, and going to jail, there is no extra brain to think about this..."

"Haha, then this is still a good thing for us? Both sides are fighting to the death, and we are picking up the advantage behind. What is this called?"

"I know... I know... I have heard of it, it is called the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

"Yes, that's right, that's the saying. This is uneducated and can't even speak. Then as long as we can get back to the boat, the whole trench will be ours, and no one will compete with us tomorrow..."

"Yes, they have all been arrested, and no one will compete with us tomorrow! ! We just need to go ashore in another place..."

"Ah, then they are fighting to the death and it's still a bargain for us?"

"Fortunately, we came back early in the afternoon..."

"Don't be long-winded, run faster, don't give others a chance to react, now is the time to run, not to talk. "

Ye Yaodong looked at the group of people who were suddenly as excited as chicken blood. Seeing that their original worried mood was replaced by excitement, they could still talk and laugh while running, and they were not nervous at all. He hurriedly reminded them.

"Yes, run to the boat first. If you don't run to the boat, everything is empty talk."

A large group of people ran hard to the dock. After a sensational farce, it was getting dark.

After dark, it would be easier to hide people.

However, when they all ran to the dock, there were still quite a few locals on the dock. When they saw them, they all shouted to stop them.

"Stop them, don't let them run away..."

"Don't let this bunch of outsiders run away, go call the police, there are still a bunch of people here... they are going to run away..."

"Too shameless, stop them quickly."

Ye Yaodong and his friends just looked at the brightly lit dock, and they secretly said something bad in their hearts, but they could only bite the bullet and run over quickly.

All their boats were at the dock. For most of them, the wealth of half their lives was on that boat. If they were a step late, all their boats would be seized.

They couldn't run to other parts of the town. There was no other place to stay. No matter how far they ran, their boats were still there.

Moreover, they had attracted the attention of many locals just now when they ran all the way here. At this time, some people followed them and shouted, echoing each other.

"They dared to run away after killing someone... Don't let those fish that slipped through the net run away..."

"Why are there still so many people on the dock?"

"Maybe there was a fight going on ahead, so the local fishermen couldn't sell their goods. Then, after they caught all the people, they dared to come ashore to sell their goods. Look... they are weighing the goods over there..."

"Damn it, rush over, ignore them, run first..."

"Take off your hats, take off your hats and run over..."

No one needs to remind you, running vigorously, the hats will naturally be blown back by the wind, and the shiny bald heads will naturally be exposed.

I don't know if the group of local sellers have watched the whole farce on the boat, and they all rushed up with hatred.

But suddenly seeing a large number of bald heads, everyone's eyes widened and they were stunned for a moment.

"Where did the bald guy come from?"

"A monk?"

"A few. Those outsiders wear hats all day long. I was wondering why it was so strange. They are all bald. They must not be good people."

"Ah, they must have been released from prison..."

Taking advantage of the moment when the locals were stunned, half of the blinding bald guys ran away immediately. Because of the heavy luggage, the people carrying the things at the back were a step behind, so they were stopped by the people who reacted with sticks and beaten with sticks.

"They ran away, chase them and kill them!!"

"Don't let any of them run away, go to the shore and surround them...they are outsiders who killed so many of us...don't let them go..."

"It turns out they were all released from prison, no wonder they dared to shoot people to death, quickly catch them and send them to prison..."

"Don't let them run away, they are all outsiders, they are all in the same group, they were all released from prison, they made our money last year, and this year they want our lives..."

"Use sticks and carrying poles to beat them to death..."

These local fishermen are very strong, although they don't have guns, they have some sticks and carrying poles.

And they can only be forced to put down the loads on their shoulders and fight with others with carrying poles. Some clever ones also took the opportunity to run to the boat quickly.

The baskets carried by Ye Yaodong and his father contained not only their luggage but also guns. However, he was a little hesitant at this time. Should he take out the gun and fire two shots to deter them, and then take the opportunity to run away? However, he was afraid that it would have the opposite effect and would irritate these people, after all, they had just been through a gunfight.

Just as they were fighting, a gunshot rang out around them, and it was unknown which side fired the gun.

After the crowd was silent for a second, everyone roared even more.

"They are going to kill again, kill them, don't let them get guns, rob their guns..."

"Kill us if you dare, no one will run away..."

"They deliberately brought guns here, they are not good people, don't let them run away, see how many bullets they have, stop them, shoot their guns..."

"Kill them, don't let them run away..."

As everyone was excited, more locals gathered around, the scene became more and more chaotic, the crowd was dense, and they couldn't pull away even if they wanted to shoot with guns.

The second chaos broke out at the dock in an instant.

Some of the people who took the opportunity to run onto the boats could not leave immediately, because they had hired people on each boat. If four or five people were missing from a large group, it would be fine. They could go back and ask again.

But if there were a few people missing from each boat, and the one missing was the captain, how could they leave?

Ye Yaodong could not leave even more. He had 30 people, most of whom were carrying things. When they were stopped by the locals, they were in chaos and not even half of them ran out.

He had already run to the side of the boat, but when he saw that his father was not among the faces on the boat, he looked back anxiously.

In the dim night, he didn't know where his father was surrounded by the crowd. The large group of dozens of people were all fighting there.

"Damn Gobi... It's not a good year. I clearly came out to worship Mazu..."

"Adong, come up quickly..."

"Go and tie up the boats. I'll go find my dad."

He gritted his teeth, threw the code box onto the boat, and ran over again, but he didn't rush into the already chaotic crowd. He only shouted from the outside, not only calling his dad, but also his elder and second brothers.

All these people rushed over and rushed to the crowd in the middle who were fighting like crazy. He was shouting and turning outside, but he was not affected. It was already dark, and the locals who rushed over with carrying poles all beat the crowd indiscriminately, and they couldn't tell the enemy from the enemy.

"The police are here, everyone run..."

After a shout in the local dialect, the locals immediately stopped and pushed the crowd out. The night was the best umbrella of protection.

Except for some people who were beaten and lying on the ground and couldn't run, everyone else just scattered like birds.

And this group of people also rolled and crawled to the dock, and didn't care to take any of the scattered luggage.

Ye Yaodong was even more anxious outside. Except for a few small light bulbs at a few purchasing points, the rest of the dock was dark. The light was so bad that he couldn't see where his father was.

Seeing a large group of big hats rushing towards this side in the distance, he could only run to the boat first to avoid getting himself involved.

Before running, he also shouted, "Run quickly, don't take the things, jump into the sea if you can't run in time..."

The big hats ran very fast. Those who had just participated in the melee were hit by a few sticks. Those who were beaten badly were still lying on the ground. No one could take care of others and could only take care of themselves first.

However, those who were beaten and injured could not run well. They were captured after running a few steps. Some of them even ran to the side of the boat, but the boat didn't have time to start, and they were also arrested by the big hats who rushed onto the boat.

The people have a natural fear of officials. Even if they have weapons in their hands, they dare not resist at all. After seeing the big hats on the boat, they squatted down with their heads in their hands and surrendered with a look of death.

Ye Yaodong was lucky. He had just been circling the periphery and did not rush into the crowd. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly got on the boat and then pushed the boat open.

Some people who did not have time to get on the boat were jumping on the shore. He quickly asked people to jump into the water and swim out and wait for a while, and he would pick them up.

There were some boats nearby. As long as the captain got on the boat, they would leave first. All those who could not catch up jumped into the water. Some boats whose captains were not on the boat were very entangled, but when they saw the big hat running, some of them also ran away quickly, and some who did not have time to run were naturally caught.

The waves on the shore were turbulent, and they on the sea were not calm at all.

After they sailed out for a short distance, they stayed on the sea first. They caught so many people at once, and the big hat had to be dealt with. At this time, they had no time to go out to sea to chase.

All the fishing boats that ran out in time gathered together first, and then everyone went closer to the shore separately to salvage the people who fell into the water first.

After making sure that there were no people drowning in the sea, they rescued them and then headed out together.

Because Ye Yaodong had more people, naturally there were more people on board. Originally, the small boat was placed behind the big boat for easy access. The people who just got on board in time also tied the No. 002 boat to the back.

At this time, his Dongsheng was pulling a bunch of large and small fishing boats behind him, and there were also a bunch of fishing boats on the sea next to it, but they were half the size of when they first came to the town.

When they first came, everyone was in high spirits, thinking about how much money they could make on this trip, but now they were being chased like dogs who had lost their homes, and their faces were pale.

The boatmen on the deck were all silent, and they no longer had the optimistic idea that after the others were caught, the trench would belong to them.

Ye Yaodong's heart sank. His father was not on the boat, and the others didn't know yet. Just after rescuing people, everyone left the shore first.

He also contacted the Harvest at the same time, and it was Pei's father who was driving the boat.

A Guang ran out and was on the boat, but his father was not on the Harvest. His heart sank again. Without saying anything more, he went straight to the end.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, patted the operating table, pushed open the door of the cockpit and went out.

When the other fishing boats on the sea saw his boat stop, they also stopped intermittently and drove towards him.

After he got on the deck, he looked at the boatmen on the deck and asked in a deep voice: "Have you counted how many people there are? How many of us are missing from the boat?"

"We are short of 12 people. Now there are 5 people on the boat from other boats. They only had time to climb on the boat in the dark night. They had no time to identify them. They are all from our village."

"Your father may be on other boats. In the chaos, as long as you can climb on the boat, who cares whose it is."

"It's a good time to stop. Let's check the number of people together and see how many people have been caught."

"Yes, it's possible to climb on the wrong boat. There must be some of our people on other boats. Let's check the number of people when the boat stops."

Ye Yaodong's face looked better, and he was also hopeful that his father had climbed on someone else's boat.

While they were talking, some fishing boats came over one after another, and everyone stood on the deck.

"What should I do? There are two people on my boat who didn't get on..."

"There is one person who didn't come up here, but there are two more..."

"There are three more people here, and two less. Is my son on your boat..."

"Is my father on your boat?"

A lot of fishing boats were shouting there, asking either the father or the brother, or the younger brother, or the nephew.

"What a sin, let's sort it out first, and see which boats have people back to their own boats first. Those who haven't escaped should stay where they are."

"Yes, go back to your own boats first, check the number of missing people, and see who is missing from each family, so we can make a decision."

"What a thing, I should not have run away..."

"Yes, if I had known not to run away, this might not have happened. What should I do if my son hasn't escaped yet..."

Ye Yaodong saw that everyone was resentful, and he was also very angry, and shouted at them directly with anger.

"If you don't run, then we'll all be killed. You don't think that those people are killing and fighting, and it has nothing to do with us, right? We are all outsiders, and we are all labeled the same. Don't expect them to be unlucky, but we can still benefit, and the locals can still tolerate us staying there?"

"Don't say that so-and-so of you didn't run out, and my father didn't run out either. I'm still looking for my father. Things have already happened, and there's no regret. What's more, if you regret it, you'll be killed in one fell swoop. Now let's sort out the number of people first, and then think of a solution."

"What else can we do?" Someone said angrily.

"Everyone came out with you to make money, not to die..."

"Yeah, if we had known it was so dangerous, we wouldn't have come..."

"How are we going to explain when we go back? Half of the people can't go back, they haven't made any money, and we don't know what will happen to the people..."

"I don't know if those who didn't catch up will still be able to go back..."

Ye Yaodong was furious at their words. He was already in a bad mood because his father didn't find him, and everyone was still talking after the fact.

Those who make money are happy, but when something goes wrong, they complain.

"Why did you come out to die? It's already very dangerous. I told you in advance. You all came here voluntarily. I didn't force you to come. I also said it was dangerous again and again."

"Did I want to be like this? I also want to be happy, make a lot of money safely, and go back in glory. Nothing has happened yet, but everyone is so resentful. Who said that people can't be saved?"

A Guang also helped: "Yes, Dongzi specifically reminded us before we came out that this trip would not be so smooth, and people might die. It's very dangerous. Everyone is jealous of the benefits. High returns also mean high risks. Otherwise, how could you make so much money?"

Pei's father also said: "Now the people have just been arrested, nothing has happened yet. Don't get excited. Let's sort out the people first..."

(The villagers' reactions are very realistic, and they will reverse later)
