Their two boats moved forward side by side, surrounded by the basking sharks, and more and more fishing boats gathered behind them.
Many people were frightened during the intersection, and then followed behind to see the situation.
My eldest cousin and Brother Asheng were the first to discover the abnormal situation, and they were also the ones who followed me the longest.
After following for a long time, they no longer worried at first, but later comforted other fishing boats who came over to ask about the situation.
In this way, more and more fishing boats gathered behind them, but in front there were always only two boats and a group of huge fish with their mouths open, forming a strange scenery on the sea.
When we passed by the town's pier and port, people on the shore and on the boat were shocked.
Some good people, seeing so many boats falling behind, deliberately drove their boats to follow them, and gathered with the boats following them, intending to find out what was going on.
The heads of people on the pier kept shaking, and they all crowded to the edge to watch. Some were even pushed off the edge and fell into the sea. Fortunately, most of them were able to swim, and there were many people on the shore who couldn't swim.
It knows water.
Ye Yaodong also didn't expect that these basking sharks could follow all the way, follow so far, and cause such a big sensation along the way.
Ah Zheng felt that he had made the right decision. Look, it was so beautiful. He grinned and waved to the people on the shore.
It's a pity that there is no dock in the town, otherwise I would definitely be surrounded by a group of people asking about the situation.
Li Jianguo was surrounded by these basking sharks all the way. His panic gradually calmed down, and he felt that being surrounded by these fish was not a big deal.
Although these big fish look a little scary with their mouths open so wide, they are actually just as they say, they are vegetarians and will not attack them.
Moreover, there was an accompanying fishing boat nearby. The father and son in the boat next door were so calm, so there was no reason for him to be afraid.
When passing by the town's pier, he felt a little proud when he saw the bustling crowds on the pier and it felt quite beautiful.
However, this situation did not last long. When they continued to move forward and gradually approached the coast, the two boats suddenly discovered that the basking shark behind them was retreating.
In fact, they are moving forward, but the basking shark is standing still, so it is obvious that they are moving backward.
Ye Yaodong discovered and understood immediately that they should not be able to go any further because the water level ahead was too low.
He looked into the distance and found that the village was not far away, and some buildings could be seen, and there were many small wooden boats floating on the sea.
These small wooden boats are now swaying in their direction. They may have discovered something unusual and are curious.
Ah Zheng was also lying on the edge of the boat with him. He shouted and asked: "Dongzi? What's wrong? They can't go forward?"
"Yeah, the water level should be too shallow and they can't go any further."
"Ah, what a pity, I still want to lead them to the shore."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and went over to ask his father to hand over the boat to him.
In fact, Father Ye and Li Jianguo were relieved when they saw that the basking sharks could not go any further.
Although they don't hurt them, being surrounded by such a group of big fish that are at least seven or eight tons in size is no longer very scary, but it is of course best to keep a distance.
What's more, their big mouths have never been closed. Anyone who looks at them will look at them with eager eyes. They'd better leave as soon as possible.
Father Ye didn't know what he wanted to do, but seeing that he was about to sail, he handed the boat over to him. As a result, he saw him turning around and lingering on the sea, but he didn't catch up.
Ah Zheng watched his actions and imitated him by taking control of the fishing boat. His father was so angry that he cursed loudly, but he pretended not to hear and followed Ye Yaodong in the boat.
"Dongzi, why did you come back?"
"Let me see!"
There were dozens of boats behind them just now, but now those basking sharks have receded, and those fishing boats should also have dispersed, right?
He just wanted to see the spectacular appearance behind him and see if those basking sharks were really gone and if any of them were left behind.
However, all he could see from the sea were the bodies of basking sharks floating on the sea, with bulging bulges one by one, and fishing boats still watching in the distance. He had no way to find the injured one.
After watching for a while, he saw some fishing boats retreating in the distance, so he also called Azheng to come to the shore together.
If you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I gained a lot today.
"What are you looking at all the time?"
"I'll see if the basking sharks behind me have all left, and if the fishing boats following them have also left."
After saying that, he sailed the boat to the shore at the urging of his father.
They were now less than ten minutes away from the shore, and they would reach the shore in a short while.
Now that the sound of the diesel engine is no longer in my ears, it becomes easier to talk.
Ah Zheng's face was full of joy and excitement, and he was reluctant to unload the cargo. "Ma De, wait until I get ashore and talk to those people. I'll brag about it, but they probably won't believe it."
"Sure, I'll take the photos and develop them for you when the time comes, then go slap them in the face."
"Yes, I have photos to prove it. When will you go get it washed?"
"The film hasn't been used up yet. I guess there are still a few more. I'll take a look at it in a few days. Anyway, you can brag however you want. It's not called bragging. What we're telling you is the truth!"
"Yes, it's true."
"Why don't you come here to move the goods? Why are you still mumbling?" Li Jianguo urged.
Ah Zheng pursed his lips, stared at the back of his father's head, and hummed a few times, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.
Ye Yaodong looked at his father who also started to unload the cargo, and said: "I'm going to move the cargo too. I'll go unload the cargo first. I guess when the ships behind me come in, they'll have to ask questions one by one. Then I'll send you on."
"Okay, okay..."
When the basking sharks in front left, they kept a certain distance from the shore. People on the shore had no idea what was going on and saw nothing.
Therefore, they did not attract many people's attention when they docked.
In addition, they came back early today, it was only after 4 o'clock, the sun had just set and had not yet set, and there were not many people on the shore.
However, when they finished carrying a basket of goods, a large row of fishing boats docked around them. The tide was just high at this time today, which did not affect everyone's ability to dock at this time.
"Dongzi...Dongzi..."
"Uncle A Dong..."
"Oh...Ah Zheng? What happened to you just now?"
"What kind of fish are those? Why are they all following you and just ran away?"
"Hey, those ones look like hills. Are they whales or sharks? This is too scary. The mouths of each one are so wide that those small boats can swallow them directly."
"Dongzi said they were basking sharks. They don't attack people. I don't know what happened. They all followed us. We obviously didn't give them anything to eat..."
"It's weird..."
Azheng nodded in agreement, "It's amazing. They circled around our boat. Dongzi said they just saw the fishing boat and wanted to follow it to beg for food, but he didn't dare to feed it for fear of being followed. Unexpectedly,
I can still eat along the way.”
"Who dares to feed it? The mouth is so big that if you are not careful, you will be swallowed whole."
"That's right, if you open your mouth so wide, you could pour a whole boatload of goods into it, and it wouldn't even be enough to fill a person's teeth. What's more, those dozens of mouths are taller than our houses."
"It's so scary. You're not afraid and you let them follow you."
"Isn't there nothing we can do about it? We can't get rid of it. We run in front and they follow behind. Fortunately, they don't attack people."
Everyone nodded.
When they first met, all the boats were startled. They thought they were done. Everyone was ready to rescue people together after they dived. Unexpectedly, these big sharks were just playing along.
There were a few scattered people on the shore, including a few at the purchasing point. They were gathered around, talking here and there. Some of them couldn't understand what they were talking about, so they all started to inquire.
The result is that you don’t know if you don’t ask, but you will be shocked if you ask.
"Holy crap, is it really true?"
"Really escorted back by a group of sharks?"
"It's a basking shark, okay?" Ye Yaodong also emphasized aloud to prevent them from thinking how scary those fish are.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a pity. If I could keep one, I should be able to sell it for a lot of money. That one would be several tons."
"Is there anyone who wants one? It's so big. Even if the whole village tries to push it, it won't be able to be pushed ashore, right? It's probably like the sea monster before, and it'll be sent away and made into a specimen, right?"
"Then it's better not to, I'll only reward you with 50 yuan if you send it over..."
"Isn't 50 yuan too little? It's something that no one wants. If someone takes it away and gives you 50 yuan, it's already good. If you don't give it, it will just rot in your hands. You don't even have 50 yuan.
At least we still have a month’s salary for the workers.”
Some people nodded in agreement.
"Okay, everyone, give way. Anyway, you all saw what happened at sea just now, so I don't need to say anything. Now let's unload the cargo first."
"I haven't said how we met..."
"Ouch? The sea wolf you caught was quite big, wasn't it?"
When everyone saw the basket they carried down, their attention was instantly diverted, and they stopped talking to the basking sharks that had run away.
After all, everyone who has seen it has seen it, and those who have not seen it cannot imagine it. Anyway, when we enter the village later, there will be many opportunities to talk to others.
Some people also ran up to Azheng and asked how they encountered the group of basking sharks.
Ah Zheng happily said that he also met Dongzi on the way, and then got closer out of curiosity, so the two boats were surrounded together.
You still have to ask him why.
Ye Yaodong was very busy, and his eldest cousin and Brother Asheng also came over first to help him unload the goods.
However, when unloading the goods, they also asked impatiently, how did they encounter it?
Obviously they were still fine when they were separated.
It turned out that when the abnormality passed, they were almost scared out of their wits. When they followed behind, their hearts were in their throats and they were scared to death. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Ye Yaodong told them while he was moving the goods. Everyone who was chatting on the side also heard it and became even more envious.
It turned out that not only did we encounter a school of basking sharks, we also encountered a school of herrings, and then we encountered a pack of sea wolves. No wonder the people being carried down in baskets were all sea wolves.
I was so lucky to encounter three species of fish in succession. However, the basking shark shoal is a bit scary. It is best not to encounter it if you can.
After everyone knew the ins and outs, they were all whispering together, so they thought, but no one asked him any more, they just chatted happily among themselves.
However, there were also people from other nearby villages. They just met them on the sea. They stopped over out of curiosity and got off the boat to see what was going on.
After chatting for a while and knowing the whole story, some of them climbed on the boat and drove back to the dock of their village.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the news spreads throughout the surrounding areas.
However, what happened today is indeed worthy of being talked about by everyone, and it is estimated that it can be talked about for several days.
The sea wolf fish he caught today, apart from the initial scuffle with the basking shark, he fished in troubled waters and caught six to seven hundred kilograms. He also caught a net when he returned, and later when he encountered a basking shark, he also caught one.
net.
Although the last two nets dragged up not much, they weighed nearly 800 kilograms. The most important thing was that they were big and took up a lot of space.
After weighing, I sold 322 yuan, 5 cents and 7 cents, and other groceries. Added up, today's harvest is just over 350 yuan.
My cousin also sold his boat for 38 yuan, 23 cents, and after deducting the fuel and wages, the boat also made a net profit of about 20 yuan.
marvelous.
Ye Yaodong is extremely satisfied with today's harvest. Generally speaking, the price of fish this year is a little higher than last year. He feels that the economy has gotten better in the past few years and the prices of things have begun to increase.
"How much? How much did it cost?" Father Ye looked at his beaming smile and asked quickly.
He and his eldest cousin were still carrying baskets of herrings and other fish off the boat. Brother Aseng was carrying them on the boat, and they were picking them up below.
The cart was already full, with two baskets stacked on top of each other.
During the typhoon a few days ago, his father had nothing to do, so he raised the edges of the cart. The same cart shared by his eldest and second brother was also raised with wooden boards.
In this way, more goods can be loaded, and there is no need to tie it up with ropes every time it is stacked.
In fact, his pallet truck was bought by a carpenter after he moved. Since his eldest and second brother rented his father's boat, the pallet truck at home was given to them, and now it almost belongs to them.
Ye Yaodong is also quite indifferent. It's just a small thing and it doesn't cost much. It doesn't matter. If you can add it yourself, just buy it yourself. If you care too much, your life will be spent.
He doesn't think his parents are partial. If they were partial, they would favor him first.
After all, he was weak from the beginning.
Now, if they wanted to favor the two brothers and tilt the balance of their hearts to their side, he would think it was normal. Anyway, he didn't care about what his parents were doing.
He already has a lot.
At present, his parents are helping him. Although they say they are paid, they are actually working for him.
