Father Ye didn't say much and hurried back to the rental house.
The boatmen who came back early had already packed up their things. Everyone frowned and stood in the open space at the door, talking among themselves, listening to the sounds in the distance.
"Fortunately, we came back early at noon, otherwise we would have had our brains knocked out like them..."
"Who can say otherwise? When we first went there in the morning, everyone was still calm and under control. In the afternoon, the tempers broke out."
"Of course, no one is a soft persimmon. In other people's places, you can barely endure it once or twice. How can you endure it all the time?"
"It's extremely hot in this weather. I already have a lot of tempers. I have been provoked several times and no one can bear it. I almost couldn't bear it this morning. If I didn't have a gun in my hand, I would have fought with them."
"That's right, they robbed us several times in the morning. We are a small wooden boat and we don't dare to fight them. We are afraid that we will be knocked into the sea by them twice, so we can only let them."
"I don't know what the fighting is like outside, I just heard gunshots..."
"The locals were scared away. They were all paper tigers. They screamed so loudly just now that they paid for their debt with blood. When I heard the gunshot, I hated my parents for losing two legs..."
"No, once there is no gunfire, it will probably calm down..."
As soon as Ye Yaodong and Ye's father ran back, everyone gathered around and asked all kinds of questions. They didn't know which one to answer.
"I don't know when to stop. I originally wanted to go directly to the boat to wait for you, but after thinking about it, I decided to run over first. Have everything been packed? Is everyone here?"
Thinking that these people had no backbone, he wouldn't let the locals take advantage of the chaos and beat him to death. If he waited on the boat, he would be anxious, so he might as well come back together.
"It's all packed up and piled into baskets. When the boat stops outside, we can carry them all onto the boat."
"There are still two people who haven't come back. It's too chaotic. I don't know where they went."
Father Ye said: "Dongzi, you go pack your things first, and I'll see if your eldest and second brothers are back."
At this time, Aguang also ran over anxiously and asked, "Do you want to leave right away?"
"We have to wait until the commotion outside stops and there is no chaos on the pier, then we will get on the boat and you guys pack up your things quickly."
"My dad just saw something was wrong and already asked someone to deal with it. He asked me to come over and ask. Fortunately, he came back earlier. Now the commotion is getting worse. Regardless of whether we are with them or not, we are labeled as outsiders.
We can't get rid of it no matter what, and the resentment of the local people will also be implicated in us."
"Well, let's leave this town first and go to the sea."
While they were talking, people from the village also came over and asked about what to do. Knowing that everyone had packed their things and was about to leave, they hurried back to pack.
The landlords of the rental houses didn't know what to do with them. Although they blamed the outsiders for causing trouble, after spending a few days with them, they knew that they were two groups. They were always polite and polite, and in the afternoon they
Back, the shootout on the dock was none of their business.
Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the wait to pay the two landlords who cooked for the past few days. The rent was paid in advance and there was no need to pursue it.
"The police have arrested someone...The police have arrested someone..."
"Many police officers ran over with guns..."
"It's so late, I guess all the fighting is over..."
"They have to call for help, and they have to take the approval slip and go to the ammunition depot to get the gun. If we don't send more people there, we're going to die. Everyone is red-eyed..."
"I guess I should wait until the beating is almost done before going over, otherwise the bullets will have no eyes..."
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"Now that these police officers have passed, they will probably be able to control the situation soon. Let's prepare. Those who have poles will use poles to carry them, and those who don't have poles will carry the baskets."
The other villagers packed their things, and the two missing people in front also ran back while they were talking, and all the other villagers gathered around him, waiting for the situation outside to calm down before leaving quickly.
Their conflict has intensified. It does not mean that they are not guilty because they did not do it. The title of a foreigner is an original sin for the victim's family.
We can't see the situation at the pier from here, but we can see the nearby Public Security Bureau.
After waiting for a while, several gunshots were fired over there, and then it became quiet again, and then people ran towards the main road, shouting as they ran.
"They've all been arrested... They've all been arrested. Let's take to the streets with confidence..."
This sentence is repeated all the time.
And when they stood in the alley and heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, they saw a large group of people surrounded by a group of big caps, and a large group of people tied up with ropes in the middle.
There are a lot of people carrying them behind.
The crowd was cursing as they walked, but they did not throw rotten eggs or rotten leaves. After all, there were locals and outsiders, and the majority were locals. Everyone present was arrested, whether they were spectators or participants.
That is to say, the person who ran fast at the beginning did not become one of them.
Some were hiding in the back corners, and those who wanted to see the situation were indiscriminate and were all caught.
Fortunately, there was no one involved on their side. Knowing that the situation was not good, they ran quickly for fear of being implicated.
In addition, they did not have thermal weapons on hand. The thermal weapons were all on Ye Yaodong's ship or in their hands. It was impossible for them to come out to see the situation and hold guns arrogantly.
"Shoot them all... The outsiders are so bad that they come to us with guns to kill..."
"...It's such a miserable death. What will we do if we are orphans and widowed mothers..."
"Murderers must pay with their lives. We cannot let them escape..."
"Someone just ran on the boat and ran away with the boat. There were many of them. Remember to drive the boat to catch..."
"We have to search for people where they live. Don't let them escape. Don't let anyone go..."
The crowd was noisy, and more and more people gathered around.
During a gunfight, it was not appropriate for ordinary people to show up and watch the excitement, but by now the people had been arrested, and everyone ran out again. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and there were onlookers on both sides of the road.
people.
Everyone followed him all the way to the door of the Public Security Bureau, still standing there and talking.
"Shall we leave now?"
"It seems that they have all entered the police station."
"Let's go, while everyone is here, quickly carry your things and go directly to the pier. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later. When they settle the people they want to arrest, they will have to free up their hands to arrest us.
They have all been subdued and arrested first."
"We haven't done anything, yet you want to arrest us?"
Ye Yaodong trotted back and said: "Who told us that we are from out of town? There was a gun battle between the out of town people and the local people. They have to be arrested first. As for when to release them, whether to release them, and how many years they will be locked up."
, of course, it’s other people who have the final say, so if you can run, run as quickly as possible.”
"It seems that a few people from other people didn't come back. Some people ran out during their free time in the afternoon, and then they didn't come back all afternoon...
"You haven't come back at this time, and you can't control it anymore. You can't keep everyone with you just for the sake of one or two disobedient people."
Father Ye also agreed: "Then move everything to the boat first, and everyone will get on the boat. As long as nothing goes wrong on our side, we can't care so much about other people."
"You knew there was going to be a fight and shooting everywhere, but you still ran back quickly, right? You haven't come back yet. They've probably all been arrested..."
"Then what if you are really taken away by the police?"
"After taking it away, we can only squat inside and wait to see what the local police station will do. Stop talking, just grab everything and leave quickly."
Ye Yaodong has been carrying his password box in his hand. He ran to the alley entrance to check the situation and also carried it in his hand. Although a lot of money was sent back yesterday and there was not much money in it, there were still several hundred yuan. He didn't earn much today.
Money, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, so I can’t lose it.
A large group of them all picked up carrying poles or trotted out hurriedly carrying baskets. They also took small paths, otherwise they would be watched by a group of people if they walked on the main road.
The other villagers had just moved their things to them in advance, and now they were all trotting along. However, they exchanged a few words while running, and there were actually five or six people from the village who did not come back.
But now I can't care about anywhere, and I don't have time to look around. I have to get on the ship first. At most, I can come back in a few days to take a look at the situation.
A few people are not as important as a large group of people.
"You said that the locals and the people over there were fighting to death and were arrested all night long. Will it be easier for us tomorrow?"
"Oh, fuck! Just thinking about the fight just now, all the dead people were arrested, and they are going to jail, I don't have any extra brain to think about this..."
"Haha, then this thing is still a good thing for us? Both sides are fighting to the death, and we are picking up the advantage in the back. What is this called?"
"I know... I know... I've heard that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind."
"Yes, that's right, that's it. This is uneducated and can't even speak. So as long as we can get back to the ship, the entire trench will be ours, and no one will snatch it from us tomorrow..."
"Yes, they have all been caught, and no one will rob us tomorrow!! We just need to change the place to go ashore..."
"Ah, so they gave us an advantage by beating us to death?"
"Fortunately, we came back early in the afternoon..."
"Stop being so nagging, run faster and don't give people a chance to react. You're running away now, not the time to talk."
Ye Yaodong looked at the group of people who suddenly looked like chickens. He saw that their original worried mood had been replaced by excitement. They were still talking and laughing while running, and they were not nervous at all. He quickly reminded them.
"That's right, hurry up and run to the boat. If you don't run to the boat, everything will be empty talk."
A large group of people ran hard to the pier. After a sensational farce, the sky became a little dark at this time.
After it gets dark, it's better to hide people.
But when they all ran to the pier collectively, there were actually quite a few locals on the pier. When everyone saw them, they all shouted to stop them.
"Stop them, don't let them escape..."
"Don't let this large group of outsiders escape. Hurry and call the Public Security Bureau. There is still a large group of people here... They are about to run away..."
"It's so shameless. Stop them quickly."
Ye Yaodong and the others had just looked at the brightly lit pier, and had already said something bad in their hearts, but they could only bite the bullet and run over quickly.
All their boats are at the dock. For most of them, half of their lives are on that boat, and eventually all the boats will have to be seized.
It was impossible for them to run to other parts of the town. There was no other place to stay. No matter how they ran, their boat would still be there.
Moreover, they had already attracted the attention of many locals as they ran all the way. At this time, there were also people shouting behind them, echoing from head to tail.
"You dare to escape after killing someone...Don't let these fish that slipped through the net escape..."
"Why are there so many people on the dock?"
"Maybe it was because of the constant fighting, so the local fishermen couldn't sell their goods. Then after we just arrested all the people, everyone dared to go ashore to sell their goods. Look... everyone is weighing the goods over there..."
"You idiot, rush over, ignore them, run away first..."
"Take off all your hats, take off your hats and run over..."
No one needs to remind me of this. When I run vigorously, my hat will naturally be blown back by the wind, and my shiny bald head will naturally be exposed.
The group of local sellers didn't know whether they were hiding on the boat to watch the whole farce. When they saw them, they all rushed up with hatred on their faces.
Suddenly seeing a large group of bald heads, everyone's eyes widened and they were stunned for a moment.
"Where did the bald head come from?"
"Monk?"
"A few of them were foreigners who wore hats all day long. I thought why are they so strange? It turns out they are all bald, so they must not be good people."
"Ah, they must have been released from prison..."
While the locals were stunned for a while, half of the bald people with blinding eyes immediately ran away. Because there was a lot of luggage, the people behind them who were carrying things were a step too late and were taken away by people who reacted.
The stick stops, the stick serves.
"If they run away, catch up and beat them to death!!"
"Don't let any of them escape. Go to the shore and surround them... They foreigners have killed so many of us... Don't let them go..."
"It turns out they were all released from prison. No wonder they dare to shoot people to death. Hurry up and catch them and send them to prison..."
"Don't let them go. They are all from outside the country. They were all released from jail. They made us money last year, and they cost us our lives this year..."
"Beat them to death with sticks and poles..."
All the local fishermen have very strong hands. Although they don't have guns, they also have some sticks and poles.
And they were forced to put down the burdens on their shoulders and use poles to fight with others. Some clever ones also took the opportunity and ran to the boat.
The basket carried by Ye Yaodong and his father contained not only their luggage, but also guns. But at this time, he was a little hesitant. Should he take out the gun and fire two shots to intimidate him, and then take the opportunity to run away, but he was afraid of the consequences.
The counter-effect would be to irritate these people, after all, they had just gone through a gun battle.
While they were fighting, gunshots rang out all around, and it was unclear who fired the shots.
After the crowd was silent for a second, everyone burst into even louder roars.
"They're going to kill people again, kill them, don't let them get their guns, grab their guns..."
"If you dare to beat us to death, no one can escape..."
"Coming here with a gun on purpose is nothing. Don't let them run away. See how many bullets they have. Stop them and shoot off their guns..."
"Kill them, don't let them escape..."
As everyone got excited, more locals gathered around, and the scene became increasingly chaotic. The crowd was so dense that even if you wanted to shoot with a gun, you couldn't get away.
A second chaos broke out at the pier in an instant.
Some of the people who took the opportunity to board the boat were unable to leave immediately, because they had invited people on each boat. It was okay to have four or five people in the group, so they could go back and inquire again.
But if there are a few missing on every ship, and the one missing is the boss of the ship, how can this be done?
Ye Yaodong couldn't leave anymore. He originally had 30 people, and most of them were carrying things. When they were stopped by the locals, there was 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.
"Those who ride horses in the Gobi Desert...have a bad time, and they have obviously come out to worship Mazu..."
"A Dong, come up quickly..."
"You go and tie up the boat, and I'll go find my dad."
He gritted his teeth, threw the lockbox on the boat, and ran over again, but did not rush into the already chaotic crowd. He only shouted from the outside, not only calling him father, but also calling him eldest brother and second brother.
These people rushed over and all rushed towards the crowd of crazy people in the middle. He was shouting and spinning outside, but he was not affected. It was already dark, and the locals who rushed over with carrying poles all shouted at the crowd.
After a sudden beating, they couldn't even distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
"The police are here, everyone run away..."
With a shout in local dialect, the locals immediately stopped and pushed the crowd to run out. Darkness is the best protection.
Except for some people who were beaten and lying on the ground and couldn't run away, everyone else just dispersed.
And they all ran to the dock as fast as they could, not even bothering to pick up some scattered luggage.
Ye Yaodong was even more anxious outside. Except for a few small light bulbs at a few purchase points, the rest of the dock was dark. The light was so poor that he couldn't even see where his father was.
Seeing a large group of big caps rushing towards him in the distance, he could only run to the boat first to avoid getting himself involved.
Before running away, he also yelled, "Run quickly, don't ask for anything, or jump into the sea before you can run..."
Those big blocks ran extremely fast. Those who had just participated in the melee were hit with several sticks. The ones who were severely beaten were still lying on the ground. No one could care about others and could only care about themselves first.
It was just that those who were beaten and injured were unable to run very well, and they were all caught after running a few steps. Some even ran to the side of the boat, but before the boat could sail away, they were rushed onto the boat and captured by the big blockers.
The people have a natural fear of the officials. Even if they have weapons in their hands, they dare not resist at all. When they see the big caps boarding the boat, they all squat down and surrender with ashen faces.
Luckily for Ye Yaodong, he had been wandering around the perimeter just now and did not rush into the crowd. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly got on the boat and pushed the boat open.
Some people who had not had time to get on the boat were jumping on the shore. He quickly asked people to jump into the water and swim out. He would pick them up later.
There were some boats nearby. As soon as the boss of the boat got on the boat, he would leave first. Those who couldn't catch up jumped into the water. Some of the boats whose bosses were not on the boat were very confused, but when they saw the big cap coming, some of them jumped into the water.
Some of them ran away quickly, and some who were too late were naturally caught.
The waves were rough on the shore, and they could not calm down at all on the sea.
After they sailed out for a short distance, they stayed on the sea surface. They arrested so many people at once and had to deal with a large number of people. At this time, they had no time to go out to sea to pursue.
And all the fishing boats that ran out in time gathered together first, and then everyone split up and moved closer to the shore to fish out all the people who had fallen into the water.
After confirming that there were no people who fell into the water, they were all rescued, and then we drove out together.
Because Ye Yaodong had more manpower, there were naturally more people boarding the boat. Originally, the small boat was placed behind the big boat to facilitate entry and exit. Those who had just boarded the boat in time also tied boat No. 002 behind.
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 had shrunk by half compared to when they first came to the town.
When we first arrived, everyone was in high spirits, thinking about how much money they would earn from this trip, but now they were all being chased like lost dogs, and their faces turned pale.
The boatmen on the deck were all silent. They no longer had the optimistic thinking that after the others were captured, the trench would belong to them.
Ye Yaodong's heart also sank. His father was not on the boat, and the others didn't know it yet. As soon as they rescued the people, everyone left the shore first.
He also contacted the Harvest at the same time, and it was Pei's father who was sailing the ship.
A Guang ran out and was on the boat, but his father was not on the Harvest. His heart sank again, so he went off to a tangent without saying anything more.
Suddenly, he stopped, patted the console, opened the cockpit door and went out.
When other fishing boats on the sea saw that his boat had stopped, they also stopped intermittently, and then also drove towards him.
After he got on the deck, he looked at the boatmen on the deck and asked in a deep voice: "How many people have been counted? How many of us have not boarded the ship?"
"We are missing 12 people, and now there are 5 people on the boat who are from other boats. In the dark night, we were so anxious that we only had time to climb on the boat. We didn't even have time to identify them. They are all from our village."
"Your father may be on another ship. In the chaos, as long as you can climb on the ship, it doesn't matter who owns it."
"We stopped just in time to check the number of people together and see how many people have been arrested."
"Yes, it's possible that we boarded 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 hopeful that his father had climbed onto someone else's boat.
While they were talking, some fishing boats docked one after another, and everyone stood on the deck.
"What should I do? Two people on my boat didn't come on board..."
"I have one person here who didn't come up, but there are two more..."
"I have three more and two less here. Is my son on your ship..."
"Is my father on your ship?"
A lot of fishing boats were shouting there, either asking for dad, asking for elder brother, or asking for younger brother, or asking for nephew.
"You're a sinner. Let's arrange things first. Everyone in whichever boat should go back to their own boat first. Those in the boat who didn't escape will stay where they are."
"Yes, let's all go back to our respective ships first and check the number of missing people to see who each family is missing. Then we can make a decision."
"What is this? If I had known better, I wouldn't have run away..."
"Yeah, if I had known better not to run away, maybe this wouldn't have happened. What should I do if my son hasn't run out yet..."
When Ye Yaodong saw that everyone was resentful, he was also very angry and shouted at them with anger.
"If you don't run away, then it's all in one pot. You don't think that it's none of our business that those people are killing people and fighting, right? We are all outsiders and have the same label. Don't expect them to be unlucky. We can still benefit.
,Can the locals still tolerate us staying there?”
"Don't say that any of you didn't run out. My dad didn't run out either. I'm still looking for my dad. Things have already happened, and there's no need to regret it. What's more, if you regret it, you'll be punished by the same pot. Now let's sort out the number of people, and then
Think of something else."
"What else can we do?" someone said in a very angry tone.
"Everyone comes out with you to make money, not to die..."
"Yeah, if I had known it was so dangerous, everyone wouldn't have come..."
"How will I explain when I go back now? Half of the people won't be able to go back, they haven't earned any money, and they don't know what will happen..."
"I don't know if those who didn't follow are still alive to go back..."
Ye Yaodong was half-infuriated by their words. His father was already in a bad mood before he found him, but they all kept making excuses after the fact.
Those who make money smile, but when something goes wrong, they complain in all kinds of ways.
"You are riding on a horse, how come you are called out to die? It is inherently high-risk. I have told you beforehand that you all came voluntarily. I did not force you to come. I also repeatedly said it was dangerous."
"Am I willing to end up like this? I also want to be happy, make a lot of money in peace, and go back in glory. Nothing has happened yet, but everyone is so angry. Who says people can't be saved?
"
Aguang also said helpfully: "Yes, before we came out, Dongzi specifically reminded us that this trip will not go smoothly, it may kill people, and it is very dangerous. Everyone is jealous of the profits. Originally, high profits also mean high profits.
Risk, otherwise how could you make so much money?"
Father Pei also said: "Now the person has just been arrested, nothing more. Please don't get excited first, sort out the person first..."
(The reaction of the villagers was originally very realistic, but will be reversed later)
Chapter completed!
