When they first returned, they said it was getting a little dark. However, halfway through the journey, they clearly felt that the waves were rolling, the boat was shaking violently, the wind on the sea was getting stronger, and the weather on the beach was a bit unpredictable.

"It's windy again."

"Well, luckily I didn't open it for you. You should go and stay in the cabin. It might rain heavily in a while."

"Let me drive. Give me the compass. I can drive back."

"Go, go, I don't need you, so you don't drive the wrong way, delay time and get wet in the rain." Father Ye pushed him away without any explanation and increased the power.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go to the cabin.

Dark clouds covered the sun, and the sky quickly darkened. It was only after three o'clock, not even four o'clock, but it felt like it was almost six or seven o'clock when it was dark. At this time, another lightning flashed across the sky, and the sky suddenly became brighter. It got dark again.

Father Ye was also afraid of a sudden heavy rain, which was very dangerous at sea, and he was most afraid of natural disasters. He concentrated on identifying the direction of the return trip, hoping to reach the shore before the heavy rain.

But after streaks of lightning flashed across, accompanied by rumbling thunder, big raindrops fell.

It hasn't rained in more than a month, and I didn't expect a big one as soon as it came.

The rain fell on Father Ye, and soon he was wet from head to toe. The rain became heavier and heavier, gradually obscuring his sight, but he still stood upright, controlling the direction of the boat.

Ye Yaodong frowned as he watched in the cabin. His father was too capable, but he couldn't trust him and refused to open it for him. It was really...

Fortunately, the rain was only in bursts. It was heavier when it first fell, but it has weakened a bit now.

At this moment, a cry for help suddenly came from the sea level. He looked out from the cabin and saw only an iron boat similar to theirs floating on the dark sea. There was a woman on the boat, facing the direction of their boat. Waving arms yelling for help.

The sound of the machines on the ship was clattering, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, which was a bit noisy. Ye Yaodong was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he checked carefully and realized that he had heard correctly. He was calling for help.

He immediately walked out and shouted to Father Ye who was focused on sailing the boat: "Dad, someone on the boat over there is calling for help."

Father Ye heard his shout and followed his finger to look at the boat not far away. There was indeed a woman waving her hand. He was standing next to the machine. The noise was accompanied by the sound of rain. He couldn't hear it at all. Less than.

He stopped the boat for a moment and walked towards Ye Yaodong. He was a little far away from the machine before he heard the cry for help.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. I just heard someone calling for help over there in the cabin. It's still raining and there's lightning and thunder. Do you want to drive over and take a look?"

Father Ye nodded without hesitation, "Well, the people working in this sea area are not from our village, but from Dongqiao Village or Xishan Village. Drive over and see what's going on. If you can help me, please help. It shouldn’t take long.”

At this time, the folk customs were simple, and everyone was very warm-hearted no matter what happened. Even in this weather, when Father Ye heard about the rescue, he didn't say he didn't care and sailed away.

After the boat got closer, they not only heard calls for help, but also the sounds of women occasionally crying and howling.

Father Ye also recognized that this was Lin Yongshou's wife Ma Lifang who lived on the roadside in Houshan. They should have come out to trawl the net together, but why was she the only one?

He drove the boats side by side, leaving less than one meter between them, and frowned at Ma Lifang, who was crying, "Why are you alone? Why are you crying? Where is Shou? Why don't you go back when it's thundering and raining?" "

"When he was setting the net, his foot was caught in the rope and he fell into the sea," she said while crying. "Just a moment before it started to rain, he said he would drag the net with him one last time and then go back... Who knew his foot was caught in the rope? They got hooked and fell together.”

Father Ye and Ye Yaodong were frightened when they heard her choked words. The hairs on their hands stood up involuntarily. They were caught by the rope and fell down. There was no way they could come up. Moreover, there was lightning and thunder. If you call them about the weather, there is nothing they can do!

Father Ye opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say. He only muttered: "Why...why are you so careless..."

Lin Yongshou is much younger than Ye's father, but only in his early 40s. His eldest daughter is married, his second daughter is not that old, and his two sons are even younger, so they went to sea alone as a couple.

Ma Lifang could only cry at this moment. She also knew that if he fell like this, he would not be able to float again no matter how good he was at swimming.

At this time, there was another huge thunder in the sky. Ye Yaodong frowned and said: "Auntie, can you sail the boat? We need to get the boat to the shore quickly, and then call for rescue. We want to see people alive, and we want to see corpses. No matter what, we will always We need to give it a try, there’s no use just staying on the sea level now.”

Father Ye also echoed and said: "Now that there is lightning and thunder, we should hurry to the shore first before we can call people out to salvage it."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

When Ye Yaodong heard this, he said to his father: "Dad, please bring the two boats closer, and I will crawl over and drive the boat to follow you."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Um."

Father Ye brought the boat closer, threw a small anchor, and pulled the two boats into zero distance, making it easier for Ye Yaodong to climb over.

Ye Yaodong turned over quickly with his hands and feet. Looking at Ma Lifang who was still crying, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say: "Auntie, let me help you get the bed back first."

She choked and said, "Okay."

The father and son braved the rain, each drove a boat, and drove forward one after another. They docked in less than half an hour.

Mother Ye, who was waiting in a raincoat on the shore, was surprised when she saw the father and son separated into two boats, "Whose boat is Dongzi sailing? Ma Lifang's boat? Why is she crying? What's wrong? Why is she alone?" "

Ma Lifang cried all the way back. When she arrived at the pier, she cried even louder. Even the sound of rain could not cover up her wails.

The dock was full of people who had returned from the sea urgently due to heavy rain, or who came out to help. Everyone was either unloading goods or waiting to be weighed and sold. When they heard her crying, everyone around them looked over in surprise. There was a lot of talk about what happened to her?

Father Ye frowned and explained to everyone with a regretful expression: "When Yongshou was setting the net, his feet were caught on the rope and he fell into the sea. When we came back, we happened to see their boat and helped drive it back."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This was a big deal, a living life, and Lin Yongshou was in his prime, still young. Some women got on the boat to comfort Ma Lifang, helped her off the boat, and accompanied her back.

Ye Yaodong also helped tie up her family's boat at the dock before returning to her own boat.

Although Ye's mother was very sympathetic, the cargo on her ship had not been unloaded yet, and she did not have a good relationship with her. She just knew her from the same village. When she saw several women accompanying her back, she did not follow her.

When they got on the boat, they said sympathetically: "I was only 40 years old. It's such a pity that I fell into the sea and died. They have several children at home, and the sons are still half-grown. They are still early to start a family. This calls them How do orphans and widowers live?"

"It's risky to work in the sea, but what can you do to rely on the sea and eat from the sea? You have to do it despite the risks."

Father Ye also sighed, with a look of regret on his face. Someone would fall into the sea every one or two years at their beach, and the chance of surviving would be slim.

"It's raining heavily again. Come and help unload the goods first. If you need anything, we'll talk about it later."

Ye's mother saw Ye's father and Ye Yaodong carrying a foam box out of the cabin. She opened it and took a look, "Ah! Such a big fish! Is this... a big mullet?"

After carefully identifying it, her eyes tightened, and she said again with surprise and certainty: "It's a giant mullet!"

As soon as he saw the fish, Father Ye's originally heavy mood relaxed a little, and he also had a smile on his face, "Yes, it's a big mullet! I'm going to make a fortune today."

Mother Ye also happily touched the body and head of the fish. She opened the gills and looked at the fish uneasily, and then gestured about the size, "Is this too big? Don't ordinary mullets only weigh a few kilograms?" How much does this cost?"

"You go away first and carry it down first."

"Hey, good."

She took a look at the other goods and knew what she had gained today.

Even without that big anchovy, their harvest today was pretty good. Mother Ye helped move other lighter and easier-to-handle items down first.

Everyone on the dock is now talking about Lin Yongshou falling into the sea, and they don't have time to go to anyone's house to catch something.

As for their big catfish, it was packed in a foam box and covered tightly so that no one could see it.

Ye's father asked Ye's mother to watch from the side. They continued to move the goods on the ship. Because the weather was abnormal, there were too many large and small ships docking at the moment, and the purchase point was full of people. They didn't worry about just taking the big ship to the ship. The catfish was left there.

After all the goods were moved off the ship, they did not make any noise, but queued up honestly. Their mood had long been affected, and those who should be excited were already overly excited.

When it was their turn to weigh it, Father Ye opened the foam box with a smile, "This big anchovy will be weighed first. Let's agree on how much it will cost. If it's too cheap, I won't sell it!"

Ah Cai looked around nonchalantly at first. Unexpectedly, after just one glance, his eyes tightened and he rushed forward in surprise, "Big mullet? So big?"

The people waiting around also gathered around in shock, "My dear, is it so big?"

"How can a giant catfish grow so big?"

"It's indeed a crocodile. Damn it, does this one weigh dozens of kilograms?"

"I've been fishing for 30 years, and I've never seen such a big giant catfish. I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich..."

"Yeah, we're rich! What kind of luck does your family have, Mr. Ye Laosan? They actually caught another big mullet, tsk tsk tsk~ This one is worth a lot of money!"

"This catfish maw is not cheap. For such a big one, how many taels of fish maw does it cost?"

The crowd's attention immediately shifted from Lin Yongshou's matter to this big mullet, which looked even more excited than them.

Father Ye smiled and said, "Luckily, it was still eating when I caught it, with a seven to eight tael of water grain fish in its mouth. This basket of water grain fish was caught in the same net as this big mullet."

"You are really lucky. It seems that changing a homestead has not affected your family's luck..."

"That relative from Linji bought the land for free and even took a boat..."

Ye Yaodong quickly stopped them from spreading nonsense, "Oh, uncle, who can say for sure about luck? We buy and sell the foundation voluntarily. It's not that we want to sell it to him, he wants to buy it from us. He hasn't bought it yet. When they move in, maybe the land will be very prosperous and they can make a fortune? How can you say that the boat is in vain? "

After all, Lin Ji's family did make a lot of money from his relative in his previous life. Now that he bought it and made a fortune, it can be considered that the land is a Feng Shui treasure land, right? Hehe~

"Haha, that's right..."

"Everyone, please give me a moment. Let's put the fish on the scale and weigh it first to see how much it weighs." Mother Ye anxiously wanted to know how much the fish weighed and how much it could be sold for.

Ah Cai also said with a smile: "Yes, let's weigh it first and then I can give a price. Such a big catfish is not common."

"First address first..."

Everyone was also curious about how heavy this fish was.

After the father and son lifted the fish onto the scale, Ah Cai took the lead in placing a 25-kilogram weight, but saw that the scale was still raised high and did not fall. He moved the thing on the scale bar to the far right, and the scale did not move. fall.

He added another 1kg weight, but there was still no response. It wasn't until he added two more weights that the scale jumped.

Ah Cai's gadget on the sliding scale caused the scale bar to swing in a suspended state. Then he looked at the number above and said, "55 pounds and 5 taels! This fish is really not small."

The people around were in an uproar.

"Hiss~ One liang of fish glue for ten pounds of fish, this one can't have 6 liang of fish glue?"

"Hey~ I'm rich! This crocodile fish maw is not cheap, it costs several hundred per pound, right?"

"It's more than that! It's very expensive, and the usual anchovy glue is not that big. This one weighs 6 taels, so it must be more expensive!"

"Yeah yeah……"

After Ah Cai was happy, he felt it was a bit tricky. It was difficult for him to bid for such an expensive thing.

Both father and son stared at him eagerly, waiting for him to tell him the price. If he said it was less, he would be scolded by these people. If he said it was too high, wouldn't he suffer a great loss? How can a businessman not make money?

He thought for a while and said: "Your fish has already passed its weight anyway, so put it here with me first. I will contact you a seller later and see how much they can pay for it. I will charge you 5 How about the agency fee?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "You accept both ends and you still want 5 points? Who are you going to kill? 2 points is the most! There are hundreds of fish in this one. Don't bully us as country people."

"Uh..." Ah Cai choked and smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, I'll mention it to the buyer then and ask him to pay me the agency fee."

Ye Yaodong snorted in his heart. He was a pimp in the middle. How could the buyer not give him any money?

After taking care of the big mullet for the time being, they continued to weigh other goods.
