Chapter 173 Bribery

After the arrival of autumn, the sky gets darker day by day. When A Guang was beaten up, there was still a faint light in the sky. Now it is so dark that it is almost impossible to reach out when walking on the road. No fingers visible.

In order to save some money on electricity bills, every household would not turn on the lights if they had nothing to do. Everything seemed pitch dark, with only a few houses occasionally lighting up lights.

The roads in the countryside were not very smooth. In some places, there were so many people walking that they became roads. Ye Yaodong tried his best to choose the main road and slowed down his walking speed.

However, when he passed an intersection, he heard noisy voices in the distance. He was a little surprised. There seemed to be no happy events or funerals in the village today. It was late at night. How could it be so noisy?

He curiously walked toward the source of the sound, and then discovered that it was his uncle's house. No wonder.

His uncle's family has two sons and four daughters. After the daughters are all married, the room will be enough to live in. If the family is divided, one family will occupy two rooms, start a new stove, and live on the same land.

When I got closer, I saw that half of the village had gathered in front of their house, including men, women, old and young. They were all gathered there, eating melon seeds and discussing when they could watch TV. How long will it take to get there...

It happened that he didn't come to watch the fun yesterday, so after passing by today, he had a good time and stood in the crowd, listening to everyone talking about Ye Yaohong's ability and how useless his son was...

Their children were sitting in front of the TV happily, waiting for the later news broadcast, while the adults were greeting the villagers there. Ye Yaodong looked at them and felt like they were in high spirits when they heard the compliments.

He pursed his lips. He was quite curious at first, but after standing there for a long time and hearing all those words, he found them quite boring.

If he hadn't wanted to wait and watch the news broadcast, he would have turned away long ago. At this time, he could only understand current affairs and politics through newspapers and news, but he didn't know how to read. There was a pile of old newspapers in front of him, and he couldn't figure out the reason. , can only wait to hear the news.

At this time, the news broadcast also had seven points, talking about the central work of the stage, important strategic plans, major activities, etc.

After hearing that he would continue to strengthen the crackdown on illegal smuggling and criminal activities in coastal areas, Ye Yaodong kicked the melon seed shells on his shoes and left with satisfaction.

However, the villagers continued to watch TV and did not leave.

He walked toward the beach in the dark, but saw another group of people approaching in the distance. He stopped and it was Lin Jishang who was leading the way.

When Lin Jishang came closer and saw him, his eyes flickered, then he stopped and greeted him with a smile, "You haven't gone back so late?"

"The first TV set was launched in the village, and the whole village was in a sensation. It was still early at this time, and everyone was watching TV and enjoying the excitement."

"Oh? The first TV? I wasn't at home for two days, so I didn't hear about it." Lin Jishang was surprised.

Ye Yaodong saw that his expression didn't look like he was faking it, so he thought that his cousin should have nothing to do with him.

"Did you have another ship come in tonight? Are you going to unload cargo again? It seems to be a bit frequent lately?"

Lin Jishang frowned, "How do you know?"

They usually only enter the village after dark and leave in the early morning. They rarely stay in the village during the day. After all, unfamiliar faces are more eye-catching in the village. Although they can be said to be boatmen, it is better to show up less often.

….

"I live by the beach."

After Ye Yaodong reminded him, he left Lin Jishang with a troubled look on his face and left directly.

If I hadn't thought that this man seemed to be the little smuggling leader of their line, if I really needed anything in the future, it would be more convenient to ask him to take care of him, so I reminded him that I hope they can restrain themselves a little. After all, in this life, there are some Things are different.

In his eyes, Lin Jishang is a bit like purchasing on behalf of others? The kind you keep as a spare.

Ye Yaodong walked briskly directly to his house, temporarily forgetting about the matter. However, he didn't expect that early the next morning, while their family was still having breakfast, Lin Jishang suddenly came to the door. This was a big surprise to him.

He was confused and they had no friendship. He stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm having breakfast, I'm disturbing you."

"It's okay, tell me what you have to say."

Lin Jishang smiled and took out a small box that looked like jewelry from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.

"Recently, our boats arrive at night, and there seems to be a bit of noise when moving fish. It has disturbed you, so I came here to apologize."

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong was confused for a moment, and then he immediately understood what he meant. Was he here to silence him and bribe him? Tell him not to report?

And this unexpected surprise?

Lin Jishang smiled again and said: "We will try to be as quiet as possible in the future, or arrange to dock during the day so as not to disturb the people and disturb everyone."

Tsk tsk tsk, he seems to be the only two people in the village who have graduated from junior high school. He is a well-educated person who speaks well. No wonder he can take the lead. If he doesn't know the situation and can barely understand what he means, anyone can do it. I was confused.

His wife, for example, looked confused and didn't dare to interrupt and ask.

"We're all from the same village. You're welcome. Your movements are quiet and you won't disturb the people. I only saw them a few times when I went to the toilet at night."

"As long as it doesn't disturb everyone, I won't disturb you for breakfast."

"Haha, okay, let's walk slowly."

Lin Xiuqing was confused by what she heard. As soon as the person left, she immediately asked, "What's he doing here? Why can't I understand? What's going on at night? Apart from the sound of the waves, what's the sound? The dock is moving." No matter how loud the movement of the goods is, how could it possibly reach us?"

Ye Yaodong picked up the small box on the table, opened it and looked at it.

"Watch?" Lin Xiuqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Shhh, keep your voice down."

Ye Yaodong didn't expect him to be so generous. This mechanical watch costs one or two hundred, right?

Lin Xiuqing was completely confused. What kind of riddle were they trying to solve? Why did they send a watch to their family for no reason?

"I knew something, but he blocked my mouth, so he sent me a watch."

"Did something happen at the dock at night?"

Ye Yaodong was startled for a moment, is his wife so keen? React so quickly?

"Shh, don't ask. We are just ordinary fishermen anyway. We don't know anything. It's just a watch. Just accept it."

It just so happened that he could check the time when he was at sea, otherwise he would often not know what time it was and could only look at where the sun was setting.

"Then we just stayed at home and picked up a watch for nothing?"

….

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "You can say that."

This man must have made a lot of money a long time ago, but he kept a low profile, no publicity, and it was just a watch, which was nothing to him.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he didn't care and looked big-hearted. Thinking about it, they didn't seem to ask them to do anything, they just said a few words of humiliation and left, so why don't you give it up?

"Eat first, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with us."

"Then will you put this watch on directly? Or should you put it away first?"

"Take it with you. You can check the time at sea."

After putting the watch on, Ye Yaodong turned his wrist, and then pulled down his sleeves to cover it so as not to be too conspicuous.

Lin Xiuqing still felt puzzled and didn't know what it was about, but he wasn't going to say anything, so she had no choice but to stop asking. She had a lot of housework to do at home, so she turned around and forgot about it.

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he went to get the hooks made by someone else. He made three baskets in one day. The lines were all coiled in the baskets, and the hooks were hung neatly all over the edges of the bamboo baskets, just waiting to be baited.

He was very satisfied, and it saved him a lot of trouble. After a while, he went to the sea to collect the goods for the ground cage, and directly put the ready-made bait there.

The same was true for Xiaoxiao and Azheng, but they had fewer cages and collected them faster than him. After collecting them, they rowed the boat far away to find a sea area.

If two people do it, the speed is much faster than one person. One drives the boat and the other hangs the bait there.

When Ye Yaodong finished collecting the ground cage and passed near them, he saw that they had all finished baiting and were ready to set the hook. He felt a little depressed and speeded up.

He didn't hang all the shrimps as bait, but used a small portion of the fish meat. Xiao Guan also took three of them as bait to try, but he didn't know what he could catch. The size of Xiao Guan was not small compared to the shrimps, two or three I can't even swallow a pound of fish.

Anyway, it’s not a bad idea to try it and see if you can catch a big fish.

It is not as convenient for two people to place the row hook by one person, because it needs to be opened and released at the same time. Ye Yaodong was busy opening and releasing the hook for a while.

After lowering the first basket of trunk lines, connect the end of the trunk line in this basket with the first end of the second basket of trunk lines, the buoy rope and the rock sinking rope and put them into the water, then drop the second basket of trunk lines, and then throw in the third basket after the drop.

After he finished all the shots, sweating profusely, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But step by step, step by step, by the time he had finished fishing, Azheng and Xiaoxiao had caught several fish with nothing to do, and now they saw from a distance that they were preparing to pull out the hooks.

He was depressed again. After changing to the iron boat, he would have to hire someone. One less person would really delay things.

Seeing them catching big fish in the distance, Ye Yaodong also imitated Azheng yesterday and pulled the rope to make the bait move.

After waiting for a long time, seeing more than two hours pass, Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he started moving.

We rowed the boat to the end and started to pull up the anchor, and when we were about to take in the line, we saw the sea level suddenly churning, and a big guy started to swim quickly on the water.

"Dolphin? No, it's a sea pig."

Sea pigs look a lot like dolphins, except they have no dorsal fins and are bluish in color.

….

He was pleasantly surprised when he saw it suddenly stopped on the water surface again, its body swaying from side to side, as if it had lost its balance.

"Dongzi? Have you pulled the string?"

He turned his head and glanced at them who were coming towards him, then threw the anchor back into the sea, preparing to reel in the line later.

"No, there is a strange sea pig on the sea here. Do you have a hand-thrown net?"

The fishing boat gradually approached, and they also saw strange sea pigs swimming and rolling on the sea level.

Ah Zheng said regretfully: "I didn't bring it with me. I thought the hand-thrown net was too inefficient. Since there are already hooks for long-line fishing, it's useless to bring it with me. I didn't bring it with me today."

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong looked regretful. There was no way to catch him without a fishing net.

The three of them could only watch it rolling from time to time, swimming quickly from time to time, and making calls from time to time. They couldn't tell the difference. Some sounded like sheep's calls, and some sounded like birdsong.

"What is it doing? Why is it so weird?"

"I don't know. Are you playing there?"

"It's just it. What does it play? It doesn't look like it."

"I used to bring a net with me every day, but I didn't bring it with me today. It's a pity. If I had known about it, I would have put it on the boat as a backup. This one looks about 1.5 meters tall and is an adult."

"Let's take a look first."

The three of them stared at each other in confusion for a while, and Azheng accidentally said, "Isn't it giving birth?"

"Huh? It's possible!"

"It seems so. It looks like its belly is quite big!" Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up. No wonder it was tossing on the sea like this. It turned out that it was giving birth.

"It looks like it's in pain?"

"It feels more painful than when my wife gave birth. I can still toss and flutter from one side to the other."

"This is the first time I've seen a sea pig give birth."

After a while, the thrashing on the sea became more violent, and suddenly stopped again. A cub actually swam hard to the sea, with the sea pig's belly facing up.

"Huh? She's giving birth?"

"It's born, it's born..."

"What are you excited about? I'm not your cub."

"What are you talking about? I'm happy for you, you have a successor!"

"The grass is stepping on the horse and it's rolling..."

Ye Yaodong listened to the two laughing and laughing, and saw the big sea pig not far away swimming in the opposite direction to the cub, as if trying to cut the umbilical cord.

Sure enough, the moment the umbilical cord was severed, the cub rushed out of the water and breathed air.

Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
