Aguang looked at him in confusion, "Why do you have so many weird words? Where did you learn them?"
"I made it up. I wish you could understand what it means anyway. I'm just talking nonsense. It just means that you have to have style as a boss."
He said angrily: "Don't come here, I'm just a free labor force."
"Then let's crawl back first." Azheng heard his father's call.
After the others finished chatting, they had no objections and were all ready to go back to their respective boats for dinner.
Xiaoxiao followed suit and climbed back into his boat.
In an instant, only two of the four were left, and the boat returned to its original state from being full of people just now.
In fact, Ye Yaodong was just talking. He was about to arrive at the place. There were not so many that he felt it would be a pity to miss them. He had better find a place to stay first. The sky was getting darker now, and it was very dark.
quick.
Most of the boatmen have also eaten, or are currently eating, and they have also eaten the pot now cooked.
There are too many people and the pot is too small, so we have no choice but to take turns eating like this. Once we get to a stop, it will save trouble and we can bury the pot to make rice.
He temporarily brought out the big pot from his hometown. Anyway, his mother hadn't cooked for a long time, so the pot was just sitting there unused. Yesterday, when he went out to town, he forgot to buy a pot.
I can only take the blame from my hometown.
After a simple meal, Ye's father shouted loudly to other fishing boats, "I will sail slowly first, you guys remember to follow."
It doesn't matter if people have finished their meal, since sailing does not affect their meal, and they don't need to know the way. There are always free people who can help drive and keep up.
The helmsmen on other fishing boats also responded loudly.
Just like that, the fishing boat slowly pulled out of the shore and moved forward slowly, and other boats also pulled out in turn to follow.
The sun has already set on the other side of the mountain, and the remaining rays of light fill the sky, like a palette in the sky. Red, orange, purple, and yellow dye the entire sky into a gorgeous picture.
Reflected on the sea, the sparkling ripples are like an ink painting drawn by a painter of nature, using delicate brushstrokes to make the originally calm sea water sparkle.
They couldn't tell whether it was a jellyfish on the water or a reflection of the glow in the sky.
Jellyfish are also colorful candy colors.
However, Ye Yaodong was already prepared. Ever since he discovered the first jellyfish while sailing, he had always kept a fishing net and a long bamboo pole with a steel hook on hand in case of emergency.
At this moment, his father had just driven out from the docking point. In order to wait for the fishing boat behind him, he slowed down the boat very slowly. It was not as fast as the speed during operation. He just happened to encounter a very large jellyfish.
Floating beside the fishing boat.
With a look of joy on his face, he casually picked up a long bamboo pole with a steel hook and went deep into the sea water. Amid A Guang's dull exclamation, he quickly lifted the bamboo pole up.
"Hey! I'm so fast!"
The shiny, mushroom-shaped umbrella-shaped jellyfish, which looked bigger than the pot lid, was caught by the hook.
"Damn it, you caught one? Such a big one? It's as big as a table!"
This was the first time A Guang saw jellyfish fishing, and he was amazed.
The boatman next to him was also attracted by his exclamations and ran over, and then he exclaimed again and again.
They are all newbies, and they all feel novel.
Even Ye's father slowed down the boat after seeing it to make it easier for him to lift it up. Fortunately, the boats behind him were still slowly exiting one after another, so he slowed down without any delay.
Such a big one can be divided into dozens of kilograms, which is a great success.
"For such a big guy, he can't weigh more than 180 pounds?"
"It looks like there should be one. These jellyfish are all made of water. It can be said that they are made of water. There must be such a big one."
"Hurry up and pull it up for me. What are you looking at?" Ye Yaodong gritted his teeth and pulled the bamboo pole hard, but everyone was watching and didn't offer to help.
"Oh, here it comes." Aguang rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly came over to help pull out the bamboo pole piece by piece, "I thought you could do it alone, but who knew you couldn't."
"Damn it, this one is so big and heavy. I want you to come alone and see if you can do it?"
"It'll definitely work, I'm a tough guy!"
"Can I have a little face?"
Ye Yaodong really wanted to cough up a mouthful of phlegm and spit it in his face. If it wasn't difficult to let go, he was afraid that the jellyfish would fall into the water, so he just let go and let him pull it out by himself.
"Didn't I learn all this from you? Even Huimei said that we are like birds of a feather, and people are divided into groups. She said that I am just like you."
"Ah, I'm not as shameless as you."
"You're so humble!"
"Try hard, you're almost up."
"You tried so hard, but your legs are weak. Could it be that your hands are also weak?"
"Selinmu..."
"Selinliang..."
The two of them worked hard with their hands, and they didn't forget to talk to each other, each of them yelling at each other without showing any signs of weakness.
It wasn't until they worked together to lift the jellyfish up and hit it on the deck that it stopped.
"Kill immediately?"
"Definitely." Ye Yaodong dropped the bamboo pole in his hand and turned around to get a kitchen knife to cut it up on the spot. He also showed others how to kill and cut it.
The fishing boats that caught up nearby saw how slow their boat was, so they also caught up and stretched their heads to look around to see what happened to them. In the end, they also saw them standing on the side of the boat.
Some boats saw them fishing for jellyfish, while others were blocked by fishing boats and could only see the people but not what they were doing.
However, everyone still spread the word to other fishing boats, and some of the other fishing boats even sailed ahead and gathered around to watch.
After a while, they were also surrounded, and some who could see were leaning on the edge, stretching their necks to watch Ye Yaodong divide.
After all, they were all novices, and they came out just to give it a try. Most of them only listened to the father and son's simple instructions on how to slaughter and cut up. A few of them had watched it last year, but they had long forgotten it.
If you can't see it, go look for it on the surrounding sea and see if you can encounter it too.
It only takes Ye Yaodong three minutes to cut apart a jellyfish. He can cut out the head, umbrella, and blood of the jellyfish neatly.
Then he grabbed a rag, wiped his hands and stood up.
"It's just like this. It's very simple after you get used to it. If you catch more later, you can just practice dividing it. There shouldn't be many in these two days, so you can practice more after a few days of flood season.
Once you know it, you will be able to do it skillfully and quickly.”
"Hey, okay, okay..."
"Sprinkle some salt and marinate it, otherwise it will turn into water soon. It's impossible to sell it today anyway, so it has to be marinated first."
Others quickly went to scoop up the coarse salt.
Ye Yaodong feels that after teaching all these people, in less than two years, everyone in the village will probably know it, and then there will be no need to work so hard.
Moreover, by that time, as soon as the time comes, not only their village will be dispatched, but also the surrounding villages and the town will all follow the group and rush forward.
After all, the fine tradition of the Fujian people is to bring family, relatives, friends and neighbors to work together, and only by hard work can you win.
As long as everyone makes a lot of money during this flood season, the number of fishing boats in their village will definitely double next year, and the number of boats coming to Zhejiang Province will also increase several times. Fortunately, the coastline is long, and there is no need to gather them together.
There is no meat to eat.
After he finished dividing, Ye's father started the fishing boat again and moved forward. The surrounding fishing boats quickly followed, and the boats lingering nearby also gave up searching and quickly followed.
Father Ye didn't say to slow down just to catch a few more jellyfish. They had been floating on the sea for a long time, and everyone was mentally exhausted. The most important thing at the moment was to reach the destination first and then find a place to stay.
If you still have time, it's best to make a phone call to report that it's safe.
Forget about those petty profits on the sea, the flood season is coming soon, where is there still a little bit missing?
Therefore, he did not slow down when he encountered someone on the road. The previous one also slowed down to wait for the fishing boat behind him, but Dongzi accidentally got hooked.
The other fishing boats were very excited and wanted to stop and try to catch it. However, seeing that the boat in front was still moving quickly, they did not dare to stop at all and could only speed up to catch up.
If you fall behind the team, you will be doomed.
It's not worth losing the watermelon for sesame seeds.
Fishing boats kept shuttling on the sea, from dawn to dusk, until night fell, and the orange lights turned on.
A light represents a boat, flashing across the sea. When Ye Yaodong looks at it, he feels like the group of smuggling boats that he encountered when he was collecting fishing rods a few days ago.
However, just when he was thinking wildly, he felt that the ship was slowing down. He thought it was about to arrive, and he felt energetic for a while, and his father also shouted to him.
Ye Yaodong suddenly felt energetic. Was it finally here? He hurried over and A Guang followed behind him.
It had been so long since they had not arrived at their destination, their eyes were completely dark, and the two of them had long since lost any desire to talk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, his father pointed to the sea ahead and shouted to them, "Dongzi, look."
"Damn it! Are you so unlucky?" Ye Yaodong stared, feeling depressed for a moment.
"Damn, it's a floating corpse? Isn't it? It's so late at night. Isn't this too scary?" Aguang also frowned. It was not a good thing to encounter a floating corpse.
Obviously before setting off early in the morning, they all went to Mazu Temple to offer incense, and everyone on their boat also worshiped Mazu, and they all offered incense when they boarded the boat.
His father-in-law also burned yellow paper for everyone on the boat to show that they were out of luck. All the rules and rituals were done well, but they still encountered him. This is too weird.
"No, there's something wrong with his floating figure. His body is under the water and his chest is on the sea. He should be lying on a log or something."
Ye Yaodong took a flashlight and kept shining it on the human figure in the water. When he took a closer look, his father's fishing boat got closer and he could see it more clearly.
"It really is."
"Is that dead or alive?"
"It should be half-dead. If it were dead, its body would be floating on the surface of the water, not under the water." Ye Yaodong said with a frown.
Father Ye had already driven his boat to the floating human figure. Its sudden deceleration also affected the situation of the fishing boats behind it. They also slowed down and gathered around to see the situation.
Aguang looked disgusted and said, "How about fishing?"
"Let's fish it out. We must fish it out whether it's dead or alive. We can't just leave it like this."
Father Ye also said: "Ask other people to help fish it out, and you two should stay out of it and don't get close."
Others gathered around the boat and watched. When the owner told him to fish, they immediately put on their gloves and did so.
These are experienced fishermen who have seen this situation before, so they only talked a few words at first, but when they started fishing, they all stopped talking.
Among the seven orifices, one must be closed anyway. After all, we are afraid of catching dead people or surprising things that should not be surprised.
The other fishing boats also looked at it in confusion and regret, why did they come close? They might all be in trouble.
It was dark and they were far away, so they couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead, so they all thought they had met a dead person.
In fact, they don't even think about it. They will have to follow Ye Yaodong next. If they are unlucky, it is also unlucky. If they are lucky, it is not necessarily the case.
There were other peripheral fishing boats that were preparing to approach. Everyone quickly turned to shout to them and kept gesticulating with their hands to tell them not to get closer.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Many boats didn't know what was going on, but since they were all told to retreat, they had no choice but to wait and take a look first.
Several fishermen on Ye Yaodong's boat used sticks to pull the unknown ghost on the sea surface, letting it float a little closer to the side of the boat so that they could easily get it out.
He didn't listen to his father and walked to the side with A Guang, both of them stretched their necks and looked at it.
When they pulled him up, they all saw a middle-aged man wearing a shirt. He looked quite strong, but he was not very tall, but he was still about 1.7 meters tall.
"This body seems to be very clean...it shouldn't have been long ago..."
"No, you didn't touch it just now. This body is soft. It should still be alive, right?"
"Yes, it's soft. I was so scared that I didn't think much about it. His body is soft..."
"Did he die not long ago? It was ice cold when I pulled him up."
"After being soaked in water for a long time, of course it will be cold. Is the watermelon also cold if it is soaked in water?"
"Don't use the metaphor of watermelon. How will you eat it tomorrow?"
"Try breathing, please?"
"You come..."
"You come..."
"you go……"
They bumped into each other, pushing and blocking each other. Without the master's instructions, who would be willing to join in and do such a thing?
"No, you should turn the person over first. Don't let him lie down. Don't they say he is clean and alive? Turn the person over first and look at the front first."
If Ye Yaodong is there, those people will also help turn the person over first.
His face was a little white from being soaked in sea water, but it wasn't swollen, and he wasn't bluish either.
There was even a pen pinned to the pocket on his chest. It looked very conspicuous. It was firmly pinned to the pocket, but it didn't fall out. It was still there.
This should be a cadre, right?
Or someone with a legitimate job in a public institution?
Otherwise, ordinary people cannot afford to use a pen, and ordinary workers rarely have a pen in their pocket, unless they like to show off.
"Try it and see if you feel angry?"
Those boatmen looked at me and I looked at you, and they pushed out the person who didn't help him just now. The old man shook his shoulders, squatted down to help, tried it, and then immediately withdrew his hand.
"You seem out of breath?"
"Out of energy?"
"Are you really out of breath?"
"Let's just say that there is no living body in this floating body on the sea? Then we can just drag it to an isolated island and bury it later."
"I didn't expect him to be dead. I thought he was alive."
Ye Yaodong also felt that he looked quite clean. Since everyone said that his body was soft and he had just floated in the sea, he also saw it and felt that he must be alive.
He squatted down and reached forward hesitantly.
"Dongzi, what are you doing?" Aguang's behavior was somewhat abnormal.
Ye Yaodong touched his neck and found that the aorta was still beating, and there was still a slight residual heat in his body.
His eyes widened, "This is alive!"
"Ah? Alive?"
"Alive?"
Father Ye also squatted down and asked, "Is it really alive?"
Ye Yaodong affirmed: "It's alive. If you touch his neck, the aorta in his neck is still beating there, and his body is still warm."
Suspicious, Father Ye also reached out and touched the man's neck on the ground. He really felt the beating and there was a little bit of residual heat on his body.
If it had died, it would have been floating in the sea without warmth.
"It's really alive."
"Ah? It's alive. I just tried it and it's true that I'm not breathing."
Father Ye also probed his mouth and nose, "It's just a little weak, but it's still a little bit weak."
Ye Yaodong interjected: "Heat some hot water, feed him, take off his clothes, give him a bath and change into another one. Dad, you can sail your boat, and I'll give him one to wear first."
"
He probably carried the most clothes here, and he was afraid of being exposed to the sun, so he wore long sleeves, which was just right for him to keep warm.
The boatmen all helped to move, and Father Ye also shouted to other boats around him, "It's okay. We saved a person, a living person, not a corpse. Let's continue on our way."
"Alive?"
"Alive? Just stay alive."
"Oh, it's alive, that's good, you can go now..."
"Yes, let's go, let's go, we can't delay any longer." After Ye's father shouted, he restarted the fishing boat and took the lead to lead the way.
It was dark at night, and their sailing speed was much slower than when it was dawn. After all, the sea here was not that familiar. Father Ye also had to identify the direction and look at the compass and compass while driving.
By the time we arrived at the island, it was already 9 o'clock, which was longer than expected.
The light was not good at night, but when Ye Yaodong took a flashlight to shine on the surrounding island environment, he felt familiar. This was the desert island where they had been sleeping rough at the end of last year.
His father is really good, Lao Ma really knows the way!
The flashlights around were swaying everywhere, and everyone was shouting excitedly and happily, finally here!
"Oh my god, it's finally here!" Aguang also stretched out greatly.
"Yeah, it's finally here. It's so late. I can just lay down a mat on the boat and lie down to sleep."
"I still need to tidy things up first."
"It's too late to set off today. We didn't set off until after 7 o'clock. If we set off at 4 o'clock in the morning when it's just dawn, it would be just right. It should be evening by the time we arrive, so it won't be as late as now."
"It's okay, it's okay. Of course, you have to wait and see if you have a good time when traveling to make money."
Ye Yaodong also ran to ask his father, "Should we move down the sundries like the pots and stoves? I remember last year, regardless of the high tide or low tide, there was a large beach exposed here."
This was the reason why they chose this island to stay. There was an exposed beach, which made it easier for them to drag the jellyfish to the shore for slaughter. Otherwise, their net hoisting machine would not be able to haul up too many jellyfish.
"Move it, take down all the long bamboo sticks piled in the corner, and then boil the jellyfish blood you just scraped off and dry it. This thing is the most expensive."
"Um."
After Ye's father got off the boat, he also shouted to others, and everyone started to move one after another.
Ye Yaodong ordered others to work while he squatted there and looked at the half-dead man, wondering what to do with him.
The boatman had already wiped his body with hot water and put him into clean clothes and trousers, which were just a little too long and had two sections of sleeves and trousers folded.
When the boat was sailing, he asked someone to boil a small bowl of rice soup and fed it in little by little. Now his complexion looked better than before, but he still hadn't woken up and his eyebrows were closed.
It seems that it can only be kept in the past few days, but it is not suitable to be kept on a boat. His boat is not the Harvest. It has a sleeping cabin and bunks for lying down.
He is lying on the deck. If they start fishing for jellyfish tomorrow, it will seriously affect their slaughtering work. They can only let him lie there for one night. If they go out to sea to fish tomorrow morning, they will have to leave him alone on the island.
"Dad, by the way, just put up the roll of awning you brought. We'll finish the work that needs to be done in the evening. We can go out to sea early tomorrow morning to take a look."
In fact, when they just came here, they also saw a lot of scattered jellyfish floating on the sea surface. They will definitely start work tomorrow morning.
"Well, it just so happens that I didn't do anything all day today. I just stayed on the boat and prepared everything that needs to be prepared in the evening."
The awning was put up to prevent them from being exposed to the sun while slaughtering. This was gained from experience last year.
Aguang poked Ye Yaodong with his elbow, "Dongzi? Should we make a call back?"
"It's so late, can anyone pick me up? I guess the old man at the door is asleep too?"
"Try it? If you don't call back, most of the people in the village will probably not be able to sleep at night. It's only around 9pm now, so they probably haven't slept yet. They're all waiting to report that they're safe. If the old man at the gate doesn't hear it, we
Just hit a few more."
"Alright."
Ye Yaodong climbed off the boat and ran to talk to his father, and other people around him quickly followed suit.
"I have to call back to report that he is safe, otherwise my family will be worried to death without being contacted all day long."
"Is there anywhere to call at this late hour?"
"Go to the guest house. If the guest house doesn't allow you to beat me, go to the police station."
"ah?"
"If you have any difficulty, please contact the police!"
"That's okay, but I'm afraid no one will pick me up in the village, so I might as well give it a try. How far is it from the town?"
"It takes less than an hour to sail. Anyway, there are boatmen here to sort it out. If you want to go together, you can come together. I know the way."
Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao immediately raised their hands, "I, I, I..."
"And me, we'll go with you."
Lin Jingye also spoke up, "I'll go with you too. You guys are all young people, and it makes people feel uneasy. I'll go with you to have a look, and by the way, I can also help everyone to make sure they're safe. There's no need for a bunch of people."
Just go, just a few people, so that you can report that you are safe."
"That's okay. I originally wanted to go with you. If you go with us, we don't have to go. We've already been sailing for a day, so it's quite tiring." Someone said aloud.
"Then we won't go. Anyway, you can just go and report that you are safe. Let's take a look here first and sort out our things. Everyone should designate a place and don't mess up their things..."
After everyone agreed, they all boarded Ye Yaodong's boat together.
When Ye Yaodong sailed to the town, everyone else gathered curiously around the half-dead man on the deck.
When we first sailed, we only heard that they had saved someone, but we didn't know who they had saved.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you shouldn't die, you can still meet a group of us."
A Guang also agreed, "Yes, if he is lucky, he will still meet us. Otherwise, if he floats for two days without being noticed, he will probably die of thirst and starvation. The sun is so bright during the day, and it is his fate to survive."
hard."
"Then take care of him. When he wakes up, let him work for Dongzi for a month or two to repay his kindness."
"Nervous, I hired a lot of boatmen, and I woke up very sick. What's wrong with him? If he can go home directly after he wakes up, he should be sent away as soon as possible."
"That too."
They were whispering and pointing at the half-dead people and discussing, while Ye Yaodong kept focusing on moving forward and identifying the direction.
At this time, the town was also quiet, and there were only a few lights. He also drove around and identified.
After passing a port, he thought it was quite big and there were many large and small fishing boats lined up around it, so he turned back.
Are you going to lean over and take a look first?
It's not always easy to see in the dark.
However, after the docking, he confirmed that he had gone correctly. After Lin Jingye landed, he also smiled and kept praising him.
Praise him for his ability and his achievements. He didn't need any help or help even at night, and he didn't go astray.
"Uncle, if you know how to praise others, just praise them more. It's rare for me to hear my father praise me. Now I've heard it from you. I'm satisfied. But I still want to hear a few more words, so you can praise me again!"
"Haha, good boy, you are not modest at all."
"Excessive modesty is called hypocrisy. I am an honest person and I like to hear good things."
"Okay, okay, I'll have a talk with your father when we get back. You should be proud of him, but don't be reluctant to praise others. He is the one with the best life among us old guys now."
"How are you? I see that your heaven is full and your face is rosy. You will definitely have good luck and make a fortune in the near future."
Everyone was amused by him.
"You are just bragging that you will have good luck and make a fortune, right?"
A Guang also touched his forehead, "I also feel that my heaven is full and my face is rosy. I think I will get rich tomorrow."
"Hahaha, let's make money together."
"Having sex with girls... having sex... I didn't say anything, shut up! You didn't hear anything! I just thought it was a bit smooth." After Azheng finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth.
Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways, "You can either stay on the boat and watch the half-dead people, so as not to have to go to the Public Security Bureau and not get out."
Xiaoxiao echoed, "I think so too!"
He shook his head quickly, "I won't speak, I promise not to speak."
"Haha, let's go directly to the border guard station?"
"Let's go to the guest house and have a look first."
Chapter completed!
