Chapter 491 Help Tug the Boat

"Dongzi, I didn't expect there to be jellyfish so close."

"It's not too far out here, right? There are so many jellyfish here."

Because of the close distance, the landing and fishing time of jellyfish is ensured, and the subsequent and timely processing of jellyfish is facilitated. It is no wonder that fishing by small wooden boats is very easy.

Ye Yaodong also said happily: "So their small wooden boats can also catch them. Let's catch them with hand nets and cut them up directly, so as not to drag a bunch of nets up, and we have to drag them up one by one to the shore, which is too laborious." ”

The three of them immediately started moving, one sailed the boat and the other two went to get the hand net.

They were also inexperienced, and they didn't have a few extra hand nets on board. There were only two in total, one with a long handle and one with a short handle. One for each person was just fine.

But when the fishing boat approached, all the jellyfish around them sank into the sea and ran away.

When Ye Yaodong's flashlight shone on him, he was suddenly dumbfounded, "Sinking so fast?"

The two brothers holding the hand net were also confused, "This is not a trawl net. If it sinks, you won't be able to see it. How can you catch it?"

"Is the diesel engine too loud? Are you scared?"

He looked at the small boat that had just rowed past not far away, and also stopped. The old fisherman on the boat quickly netted a jellyfish with a hand net, and was struggling to drag the net to the edge of the boat.

"Turn off the engine and take a look first."

They shouted to Ye Yaosheng who was driving the boat. The sound of the diesel engine disappeared instantly, and the boat swayed on the sea with inertia.

Their ears suddenly became quiet, and the fishing boat slowly floated forward. After a while, they found a jellyfish emerging from the side of the boat.

Ye Yaodong quickly took their hand net and carried it toward the jellyfish he found nearby that had just surfaced.

But he didn't know if it was a little far away. The jellyfish was not caught and started to escape. Ye Yaodong quickly continued to net the jellyfish in front of it. Fortunately, the handle was long enough and he was caught this time.

A jellyfish that weighs forty or fifty pounds is already considered a large jellyfish. It is very difficult to hold it and pull it toward the boat.

Because there were not only jellyfish in it, but also sea water that was brought in. It was not as big as the dozen kilograms he had caught a few days ago, so it was very easy.

Fearing that the fishing net would break, he slowed down to let the sea water flow out as much as possible to reduce the weight.

The cousin on the side saw another light blue fish floating on the edge of the fishing boat. He quickly buckled down the hand net with quick eyes and hands, pocketed it, and then fished it out with great difficulty.

Fortunately, the edges of their hand-made nets were welded with thick iron, so they were fairly strong, but they were worried that the fishing nets would be broken.

The other two people on the boat also came over to help pull it up. They hooked the edge of the iron ring, and together they worked hard to lift the hand net up.

Two huge jellyfish poured out of the hand net one after another and landed on the deck.

Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It's all physical work for those who ride horses. It's hard for one person to pull such a big man."

"Should we sail the boat again? Or just let the boat float?" Ye Yaosheng asked.

"Drive forward and take a look. If the light shines on it, let's stop in advance. It doesn't look like there are many of them here. They just sank and it's hard to catch them."

Ye Yaosheng obeyed and went to sail the boat, while his eldest cousin and his second cousin went to deal with the two jellyfish they had just caught, while Ye Yaodong took a flashlight and shined it on the sea.

There are not many fishing boats around, only three or four scattered small wooden boats. It may be that it is still early, or it may be that they sail faster.

Jellyfish have the characteristic of rising in the morning and evening.

After a while, he saw the umbrella-shaped transparent objects floating not far ahead, so he stopped the boat in advance, and then let the boat drift smoothly with the wind and water to salvage it.

The four of them cooperated like this, working in pairs, and immediately slaughtered and divided the fish as soon as they caught it.

Some busy hours pass very quickly. As the sky gradually gets brighter, more and more jellyfish are caught on the boat. It is too late for one person to handle them. Two people are needed to handle them and catch them.

They also kept letting the boats drift with the waves, ignoring them as long as they didn't hit the rocks. There were quite a few floating on the sea.

Just when everyone was too busy to distinguish the direction, Ye Yaodong discovered that there seemed to be two large ships very close to each other in the distance, and their ship was drifting in that direction.

"Dongzi, should we avoid it?"

The two brothers who were handling the jellyfish next to them suddenly raised their heads and took a curious look.

"The two boats over there know each other, right? Otherwise, why would they be so close?"

"Not necessarily. It's possible that a big boat bullies a small boat. It's also possible that a large number of people bully a small one. We seem to have drifted quite far away, and there aren't any small wooden boats to see. There were quite a few small wooden boats in the beginning."

Ye Yaodong agreed without hesitation, "Let's go to the side and avoid it. After all, we are not familiar with the place. Who knows whether it is safe or not? It's better to do less than to do more. Anyway, keep a distance from other ships. It's better to stay as far away as possible." There will be mistakes.”

"Well, that's what I think too. Then I'll drive to the side and let's stay away."

The sea area was very wide. Even if they moved aside, they could still see the traces of the two boats in the distance, and they did not stray too far. When they saw jellyfish floating on the water around them, they stopped and continued to catch jellyfish. , but they occasionally take a look at the situation from a distance.

Not long after, Ye Yaodong saw that the two boats had separated.

There was a boat heading directly towards them at a steady speed. Not far away, Ye Yaodong could still see their happy smiles and the fishing nets working at the stern of the boat.

It looked quite normal. The other boat didn't come near, so they didn't think much about it and just focused on fishing for their own goods.

But after a while, another boat floated towards them smoothly. Don't ask them how they knew it, because they could see it.

The boat was beaten by the sea water and floated in the wind and current faster than it could sail. Ye Yaodong still didn't care. After all, they let the boat drift freely for a while and fished it out when they saw it. After fishing it out, they set off.

Unexpectedly, almost ten minutes later, after they had caught several jellyfish around them, and when they were about to sail, they saw someone lying on the boat in the distance, holding a red flag and waving it towards them.

Looking from a distance, most of the upper body was sticking out of the edge of the boat, giving them a very anxious look.

Ye Yaosheng was about to sail away from this location. When he saw it, he quickly looked at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi?"

"I saw it. It seemed like they were calling for help over there. Since they waved the flag to us for help, let's go over and take a look."

"Did those two ships just have a conflict?"

"It's possible. After all, the two boats were next to each other just now. One boat left happily, but the other boat could only drift over with the wind."

The other two brothers stopped dealing with the jellyfish and stood up and leaned against the edge of the boat to look over there.

The fishing boat was getting closer and closer, and they also saw people lying on the edge of the boat feebly waving flags.

"It's the young boy from yesterday!"

Ye Yaodong was surprised. Wasn't that the young man on the boat they met when they approached the village yesterday? They would be quite proud that they have a big boat.

The young man on the boat almost cried with joy when he saw them. His hand waving the flag became stronger and his body stood up.

After the boat approached, Ye Yaodong could clearly see the four or five people sitting on the boat leaning against each other.

"Help, fortunately your ship is nearby and has not gone far." The young man communicated with them in flat Mandarin.

Ye Yaodong asked doubtfully: "Did you have a conflict with the people on the boat just now?"

Otherwise, their current state cannot be explained.

And as soon as he got close, he felt like something was wrong? Only then did he remember that there was no jellyfish seen on their boat. Was it robbed?

Is the sea so uneven here?

Four of them were beaten?

"Those gangsters are from the Dayuan Village next door. They have always had conflicts with our village. They have had many fights in the past. They happened to encounter them today. We are unlucky. We will settle the score with them when we get back."

"Brothers, can you help us pull the boat back together? My father and several brothers were beaten, and they were also thrown into the water and stung by a group of sea stingers. This will make my whole body sting and feel uncomfortable. It's hot and cold at times, my stomach hurts terribly, and the diesel engine has been carried away, so we can't go back."

"Can I trouble you? If we delay this for too long, people will die. You also know that jellyfish are poisonous."

Ye Yaodong agreed immediately.

"Okay, we just happened to have caught it now, and it's almost time to go back. I'll take you back with me by the way."

When he first arrived, it was necessary to establish good relations with the people in the village, and there were no conflicts. He could not ignore them.

Since I came out at night, it’s time to take it back and sell it, otherwise it will shrink again if it is left unprocessed for too long.

】

By the way, I can lend a hand and form a good relationship. It will be more convenient to live in the village.

And I learned yesterday that their family has many brothers and is a big family. Most of the people in this village have the same surname as them. It would be beneficial to him to save them, so why not do it.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Others on the boat also spoke local dialects or expressed their thanks in broken Mandarin.

"Thank you very much. My name is Lu Hongwei. If you have any inconvenience or need anything in the village, just come to our house and find us."

"Okay, let's wait until we get back. Let's tie up the two boats with ropes first."

"Thank you. I'm really lucky to meet you today. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how long we would have drifted in the sea before we met the big ship."

"We also saw your two boats next to each other earlier, but we don't know what happened. After all, we are from other places and we don't dare to go there."

Lu Hongwei widened his eyes angrily and cursed several times, "There just came from nowhere a group of jellyfish floating densely on the water. We felt that it was too slow to catch them one by one with the hand net, so we planned to directly It was just right to put out the fishing net and drag it back in one wave. Who knew that this group of people would rush over and attack us, Madhu, causing our fishing net to sink immediately, and we were caught off guard, which made me mad."
