Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 185 Ocean Fishing Vessel Accident

Ye Yaodong thought that only a few acquaintances knew about the boat purchase. He didn't shout everywhere, but just because he didn't tell it didn't mean that others didn't tell it. His mother happily walked around the village that afternoon and told her relatives and friends.

When he returned to his new home from his old house, several rolls of firecrackers were piled in the corner of his house.

He saw the bright red color as soon as he came back.

"Did it spread so quickly?"

"The news has spread throughout the village in the afternoon. I'm thinking about ordering a plate of candy cakes tomorrow to share among my relatives and friends. After all, they all sent firecrackers." When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she went to take out the food from the pot. said laughingly.

It is their custom here to distribute sugar cakes when there is a happy event in the family. On the day of moving, they also steamed two boards of sugar cakes to share with relatives and friends.

The same goes for buying a new boat. There is also the custom of handing out candy and cakes to each other, which means you are getting better every day.

Ye Yaodong originally thought it was just a second-hand iron boat, keeping a low profile and not needing to be talked about everywhere, but he didn't expect it to spread so widely.

"My mother must have said it, that's why it spread so quickly. Let's order it tomorrow. Order a plate of candy cakes and cut them up to share among relatives and friends!"

"Well, some of your friends also sent a few firecrackers. Seeing that you weren't at home, I told you to come over after dinner."

"oh."

"I thought, after all, this is a boat we just bought. We have to check the date on the first day we sail out. I just went to check it out. Tomorrow is not suitable. There will be a day the day after tomorrow. Nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow is a good time. Then let's go. Finish the firecrackers before going out."

Ye Yaodong frowned, "You don't need to be so particular about second-hand ships, right?"

He also thought about driving it out at night to try to put the net on for a day, then come back tomorrow and then paint it and let it dry for two days.

"Although it is second-hand, it is still a new boat for our family. It has changed its owner, so it must have everything it should have."

"Okay, let's paint it first tomorrow. I'll go over and talk to dad after dinner."

This is the so-called sense of ritual, right?

When they encounter anything in the countryside, they like to wait for a good day before doing anything and ask for a good omen. If it is not necessary, they will not go far on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month.

The meal was only half-eaten when his friends started arriving one after another.

"Good guy, you actually bought a new boat without saying a word, awesome!"

"It's so dishonest that you didn't say anything in advance. We still knew about it from the villagers."

Ye Yaodong quickly pulled the remaining rice in, "I didn't know that the boat could be bought so quickly. I just bought it when I saw something suitable. I just bought it in the morning. You will know about it in the afternoon. It's not too late." ah."

"That's different. I didn't hear you mention it when we were at sea two days ago. Mad, I can't even catch up with the horse. We changed ships so quickly. Azheng and I don't know when we can change to a bigger ship."

"Yes, there will definitely be a chance."

A Guang didn't go to sea today, so he asked from the side: "Have you seen the date? When will the firecrackers be set off?"

"I originally thought that it would be okay to use a second-hand boat and go out at night. My wife said that she had already checked the date and said that she would set off the firecrackers at 9 o'clock the day after tomorrow before setting off to sea."

"Well, the second-hand boat is more than ten meters long. Of course we have to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Our small wooden boat even sets off firecrackers for fun."

….

Ye Yaodong agreed, chatted for a few more words, agreed to come over at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow to help set off firecrackers, and then went back.

He made another trip to the old house and bought a bucket of dark blue paint when he came back. He got up early the next day, asked someone to help lift the boat ashore, and then started painting.

I thought for a while, after painting, setting off the firecrackers, and launching the boat with a brand new look, with a sense of ritual, it will indeed make people happier psychologically than if I just drove out. After all, it is the boat I have been looking forward to for a long time.

Moreover, the sun started to shine today and it cleared up. It has been hazy for several days, but it is still sunny and makes me feel comfortable.

Ye Yaodong applied a layer of paint in the morning, and then came out and applied another layer of paint after lunch. Then he called it a day with satisfaction and went back. Then, he drove a small wooden boat out to collect the floor cage nets.

The ground cage has been in the sea for two days and I haven't had time to collect it. I didn't collect it yesterday because of the wind. Otherwise, I should have collected it yesterday. Today I was busy until the afternoon.

His father quickly sold the small wooden boat to his second uncle's cousin this morning. He said hello in advance and borrowed it from his own family. It would not be a big problem to sail it out to sea and collect it in a ground cage.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the dock, he heard a major news. One of their local offshore fishing boats encountered a bloody massacre at sea.

Ye Yaodong felt nervous and quickly approached the crowd, "What did you say, how did you say it? When did it happen?"

"I heard that the fishing boat was in the high seas. One of the crew members on the ship had frequent quarrels and conflicts with the first and second mates. Then the crew member poisoned the first and second mates to death at night. I heard that the crew member was still a fugitive and was raped by an old man. Take it on board..."

The people next to me who had just come over and heard about it also felt numb and asked quickly: "What happens next? What happens next?"

"Then I heard that the conflicts on the ship became even more serious later. The fugitives killed several boatmen who were having conflicts while they were sleeping and threw them into the sea. Things broke out completely. In the end, only 5 of the 28 people survived. The captain and the first mate and second mate both died……"

"I heard that a section of high-voltage wire was pulled out from behind, and the electricity output hit the heads of the survivors, and two people were electrocuted..."

"It's so tragic... I heard later that there were people who were slashing with knives. There were blood stains, slash marks, severed limbs, and a crew member was tied to the mast..."

"It's really fake, it's so scary..."

"I went to town this morning and heard about it. It's so tragic. There are fugitives on the boat. I don't know where the boatmen were hired. It's terrible..."

"Really? Then...the family must not cry to death. They went to the boat to make money, but ended up risking their lives..."

A person watching the excitement frowned and said to everyone affirmatively: "My relative is from the Maritime Safety Administration. This is true. I heard that the fugitive was brought on board by Lao Gai. The two conspired to seal the cabin and deliberately sabotaged it. The cooling system put poisonous gas into the cabin, then tricked the first mate and second mate into entering, locked it from the outside, and poisoned the two of them, and the conflict became more intense later."

"In the end, the four survivors worked together to kill the fugitive and throw him into the sea, and then tied the old rail to the mast, which ended the bloody incident."

The chief engineer is called Laogui by the locals.

Ye Yaodong was chilled when he heard this. In his previous life, news occasionally broke out. When a certain ocean-going ship had a bloody accident at sea, it was often not because of pirates, but because of internal strife on the ship.

….

We must know that ocean-going fishing boats go to sea for as little as half a year or as long as two or three years according to their operating methods. The boring life at sea for a long time can easily affect a person's mood. It is normal to have conflicts. When you encounter someone with a bad character, you will Every little thing can trigger depression.

Killing people at sea and throwing them into the sea, as long as they say they fell into the sea accidentally, nothing will happen. This kind of thing is too common.

Therefore, the risks of going overseas are extremely high, and man-made disasters account for a large part.

In his previous life, he didn't dare to go to the ocean. Not having a certificate was not a big problem. The main reason was that he was afraid that something might happen if time went by. So he only invited people to go fishing in domestic waters. He could return in a few months at most, which was much better than going to the ocean.

He pricked up his ears and continued to listen...

"I heard that the remaining boatmen couldn't sail the boat and could only let the boat drift on the sea. Yesterday, it hit a rock and was discovered by the lighthouse staff. They reported it to the marine patrol team and then contacted our police. They were brought back for interrogation in the early morning. Today It’s spread all over the town this morning, it’s so scary, it’s such a crime..."

"Why didn't I do some screening when I was choosing boatmen? I didn't find a few reliable and familiar ones..."

"What you said is quite simple. Where is it so easy to find a boatman? It's even harder to find someone who goes to the ocean. How many people are willing to go to the ocean? It's better to have a small boat at home and do casual work than to go to the ocean."

Ocean fishing often encounters typhoons, machine failures, pirates, and internal strife. Despite the considerable income, many traditional fishermen are unwilling to participate.

"I heard that the boatmen are all inland people introduced by an agency. Except for the captain, first mate, second mate and other management, the others have not received seaman training. Many of them have no experience of going to sea. They are all introduced one by one, and they are all familiar with each other. We are still not familiar with each other and if we have a conflict, who will be polite to you?"

More and more people gathered around the dock, and the news spread more and more widely. Many people stopped going to sea and listened to the news there. It was because it was a fishing boat in their town that it spread so quickly.

"It's too tragic. This ocean is too dangerous..."

"Isn't that right? We are just ordinary fishermen. We can just live a peaceful life fishing. Ocean-going ships are not allowed to go..."

"It's not that absolute. The main reason is that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons on the boat. You still have to find a boatman who is familiar and reliable."

Ye Yaodong agreed with this. It was normal for a few people to die at sea, so he only asked his father's opinion when he found the boatman. Otherwise, if he couldn't find one, people would die.

"I guess this will be published in the newspaper tomorrow..."

Ye Yaodong stood there and listened for a long time, everyone repeated what they said again and again. He waited until he heard almost everything before leaving to sail the boat.

The ocean was beyond his reach.

But it also reminded him that he should be careful when looking for someone. His father was the most reassuring person.

The ground cage nets were confiscated two days apart. The goods inside are quite impressive, including blue crabs, swimming crabs, stone crabs, Pipi shrimps, sword shrimps, white shrimps, red seals, white seals, small yellow croakers, yellow croakers, water grain fishes, etc., the variety There are so many, big and small.

He specially picked out a bowl of white shrimps. The white shrimps were very fat recently, with red paste on their heads and red or purple shrimp seeds on their bellies. There is also a 2-pound seabass left, which can be stewed in clear soup at night. Marine fish is rich in nutrients and will make you smart after eating it. It is just right for his wife to eat.

The two boys in the family are not good at reading. I hope the one in his wife's belly can be more successful and eat more fish.

When he returned from collecting the goods at sea, people on the shore were still discussing the ocean-going ship killing incident, and it was estimated that they would not be able to calm down for several days.

When she returned home, Lin Xiuqing also said, "Fortunately, we found our father, otherwise I would have been worried."

"We are just a small boat operating offshore, so it's okay."
