They walked and chatted as if they were taking a walk.
The houses those people rented were not far from them. At first, I thought it would be safer to gather together, so I searched for houses around them.
It's just some small alleys, and I only went around twice.
They were in the middle of chatting and chatting when they heard bursts of noise and a large group of people gathered in the middle of the alley.
Ye Yaodong and the others looked at each other in confusion.
"Did you really come to your door?"
"Are these gangsters so arrogant? After all, there are dozens of people over there, and it's very close to the Public Security Bureau..."
"Would you like to step forward and take a look? Or should you just watch from here?"
"Go up and take a look. We're all here. There's no conflict at all. Let's take a look. If a group fight really breaks out, let's call the police for help," Ye Yaodong said.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, but he is not the one who adds insult to injury.
"Then let's go over together and take a look. From what we hear, it doesn't seem like there's a fight."
"Well, let's go and have a look."
The four of them moved forward while closing in. They rented another house next to each other in order to accommodate so many people, so when they heard the movement, it seemed that they were all gathered together.
But before they could reach the door, a group of people came out cursing, kicked the door several times, and spit at the door twice, making harsh words.
"Don't let me catch your agent tomorrow. He can still hide."
"That's right, if you still want to hang out in the town, just give me some knowledge."
The boatmen looked at these people with bitter faces. They finally realized that it was not easy to go out and mix in other people's territory.
"Bah, let's go. It's unlucky and empty-handed. I don't believe he can hide from the first grade of junior high school, and even the fifteenth grade. As long as he is in the town, I don't believe he can't find anyone."
"Let's go and look for it at another dock tomorrow..."
When Ye Yaodong saw that they didn't start a fight, but just cursed and said harsh words, they stood in the corner and didn't get close.
After these gangsters finished cursing, they turned around and walked out. The leader in the afternoon, Chen Guolong, seemed not to be inside. When these people passed by them, they all glanced at them one by one before they walked out.
Ah Zheng stared at their backs with disgust and cursed silently.
Ye Yaodong pulled him, and the crew members also saw them and came out, complaining to them bitterly.
"These local gangsters are so bad that they caught us doing bad things..."
"What should I do next..."
"Can you help me? I don't think they bother you very much... A Nian doesn't live with us at night. I can't find him to discuss with him..."
"Can you ask the policeman you know to also look after us? It's too difficult to go out. I thought I could make a lot of money when I went out, but who knew I might get stabbed?"
Ah Zheng pursed his lips, "Then you have to let Comrade Chen Jianian do the relationship work. To make money in other people's territory, you must have good relationships. You can't just stay for a day or two."
"We don't understand this either. Alas, we don't know if A Nian has a relationship..."
"He doesn't live with you, where does he live?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.
"I said I was staying at a friend's house."
"Then you tell him the situation tomorrow morning and let him think of a solution. We asked for help, but we were blackmailed by those people several times. It's not that easy for those who are away from home."
After Ye Yaodong said that, he planned to leave. Anyway, nothing happened.
There are over thirty people here at random, and it doesn't look like it would be easy to start a fight. The gangsters who just came here are only in their early twenties.
Although they all have sticks, they don't do it so casually.
"Hey, we can only wait until tomorrow."
Those people were worried and worried, but Ye Yaodong and the others had already walked out of the alley.
"Tell me, will Chen Jianian come to us tomorrow and ask for help?"
"Who knows."
"Maybe he will ask his friends for help, right?"
"If I can help, I shouldn't be so miserable these two days."
"In the final analysis, those gangsters who collect protection fees are so hateful. Their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they just bully us from other places."
"Originally, outsiders are bullied wherever they go."
"Anyway, it's left to Chen Jianian to solve it himself. Since he wants to make this money, he has to think of a way. Not to mention that he has called five more boats over the past two days. He must also allow these people to catch fish." Ye Yaodong
Said something to the point.
"Then what if he comes to me tomorrow and asks me for help?"
"Then can you help?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"I can help a lot. I still count on others to help. When we work together, we can let Yang Guoan take care of us. Now that everyone knows that we are separated and doing our own things, who cares about you? How can I be so?
With such a big face, he really has to figure this out on his own."
"Maybe those gangsters will go make a lot of money tomorrow?"
"There will be new people coming to collect protection fees. We know clearly that there is a group of outsiders on the dock making money here. They are a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered. If the old gangsters leave, new gangsters will come."
"Then they can only learn how to fight guerrillas like you did last year."
"It's no use. It's a good thing you didn't get targeted. If you get targeted, you'll be caught sooner or later."
"Then his intestines should turn green with regret."
Ye Yaodong shrugged. Who asked him to ask someone to follow them? It can only be said that the people are weak and did not think about it in advance.
Fortunately, they hooked up with Yang Guoan and wanted to form a good relationship from the beginning, otherwise they would probably have the same headaches and worries as them now.
Several people murmured to each other as they walked back, and when they arrived at the rental house, they also talked to Father Ye and Father Pei.
Anyway, there was no fight, and both of them were relieved. After all, they both came from the same place. There was always a feeling of sadness, but I still hoped that everyone would be well and be able to make money safely.
"Then go to bed early. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow and see you tomorrow."
"Um."
If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. The villagers are very happy to follow Ye Yaodong and others, and they have a lot less worries and fears.
Early the next morning, they went out to sea to fish as usual, and saw the people next door appearing on the pier at the same time.
They looked much more enthusiastic towards them today than they did two days ago. In the past few days, everyone was a little lukewarm because of Chen Jianian's relationship.
This morning, I came over to say hello with a smiling face, which made everyone feel a little fresh.
"Hey, did we influence them last night?"
"Why don't you say you're going to convert them?"
"Crazy! Of course I think our thighs are thicker."
"You guys talk slowly, I've made a lot of money."
Ye Yaodong was the first to jump on his own boat and take the lead.
The day's plan begins in the morning. There is an endless stream of people on the pier in the early morning, and they are all hard-working fishermen preparing to go out to sea to catch fish.
The sun shines on the sea, and the air is filled with fresh sea breeze and a light salty smell. The fishing boats leave the shore one after another, and the sails shine in the morning light.
Their fishing boat sailed all the way to the trench. After passing some villages, they would see some jellyfish rushing up with the waves. Some people wore straw hats early in the morning, bent over, picking up jellyfish on the beach, and clusters of waves splashed together.
rise.
On the sea, early in the morning, there were many small wooden boats rowing towards the jellyfish one by one, and then pocketing them.
Undoubtedly, the dozens of trawlers they set out together were the most conspicuous on the sea, and all passing fishing boats couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It was obvious that Ye Yaodong had specifically told everyone not to all go out together a few days ago. It was too eye-catching.
There is already a large catch, and most of the fishing boats on the pier know it, but they all go out together and run in the same direction. Doesn't this make it clear to everyone that they are fishing in one place?
However, we live close to each other, and seeing someone leave, others hurriedly followed, so today they all gathered together to go out again.
Originally, after talking about it a few days ago, everyone paid attention to it in the next few days for their own benefit.
But it happened that today they all came together again. Even the 7 boats on Chen Jiannian's side also took the wrong medicine this morning, so they all came together.
Ye Yaodong looked at the sea behind him and cursed in his heart. When he went back in the evening, he had to emphasize again, clarify the stakes, and let everyone stagger the time a little. They really couldn't all go out together.
You have to be alert all the time, instead of listening to it for two days and then forgetting about it and not paying attention to it.
Just as he looked at it, he felt that there was a trend of more fishing boats behind him?
And the more I looked at it, the more something felt wrong.
He quickly walked towards Ye Yaosheng, who was driving the boat, and took over the task of sailing the boat. He was going to ask everyone to stop for a moment to see if the boats following him were from outside the country.
Don't try to fish in troubled waters. It has already been revealed to them that there are 25 boats fishing around the trench. If we attract all the locals here, it will be a waste.
Ye Yaodong's boat was originally sailing in front, so he quickly turned around and asked Ah Sheng to wave the flag to signal the boats behind him to stop as well.
He drove the boat around in the sea and turned behind him.
The other fishing boats looked at the flag and saw his fishing boat turning back unexpectedly. They all followed behind in confusion, ready to look back to see what happened.
One boat after another turned around, confusing the fishing boats behind them.
The fishing boats that were fishing in troubled waters couldn't figure out what was going on. They saw the ones in front of them turning around, and they also stopped in place, feeling at a loss for what to do.
After all the fishing boats turned around, they also discovered that there were several uninvited guests behind them. The markings on the boats' hulls showed that they were not with them.
Everyone involuntarily surrounded the boats, instantly panicking each other, and the fishing boats kept retreating.
After all, there were too many fishing boats surrounding them, and they were still looking at them eagerly.
After a while, without anyone saying anything, the boats backed away and kept their distance. However, they did not just turn around and leave, they still lingered in place without giving up.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to drive his boat to approach again, and the other boats followed suit tacitly.
They were pressed hard step by step, and they did not have an advantage in numbers. As they retreated again and again, some fishing boats immediately retreated.
After one of them left, the others also started to move. After a while, these local boats disappeared into the distance.
It is true that they are outnumbered and surrounded by dozens of trawlers. Who is not afraid of them?
After the fishing boats dispersed and it was seen from a distance that there was only one spot left, they started moving again, and the villagers were now alert.
It was not convenient to talk at sea, and they did not communicate. When they arrived at the fishing point, they only had a few words with the boats that were nearby.
Ye Yaodong believed that he wouldn't need to say much in the evening, and everyone would pay more attention to staggering out.
However, before they could go back to discuss it in the evening, when they returned from the fishing trip in the morning, as soon as they docked at the pier, they heard Aguang say that Chen Jianian had been beaten.
"Just now, their fishing boat came over and asked me to help. I followed them to their rental house to take a look. Chen Jianian was beaten so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen and he couldn't get out of bed."
"Isn't this too much? Isn't the money given too little?"
"How can we be satisfied? There are rumors everywhere that we have made a lot of goods and made a lot of money. These gangsters will only want to ask for more. Don't take the goods from outsiders for nothing."
"Where was the fight taken?"
"A small docking point in the north. I heard that those gangsters went to several docking points in the town to block people this morning. They said they wanted to see how well they could hide. Originally, they also learned to dock half an hour earlier this morning.
, he was still stuck in a traffic jam, and the fishing boat hadn’t come back yet, so he was left alone.”
"Well, I guess they avoided last night, much to the chagrin of those people."
"Then I've been beaten, so what can I do for you to help? Don't they also have someone staying in the rental house?"
"Chen Jianian wants me to help collect the goods for two days and help arrange their fishing boats."
A Guang said so hard that his mouth burst into tears. He had just thought about it darkly a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to actually come true. However, he couldn't say this out loud, otherwise he would be scolded, and it seemed too immoral.
Azheng was surprised, "Then he got a bargain for you? He called several boats over, didn't they all give you a bargain?"
"He also has a condition, that is, after he recovers from his injury, he will let me introduce him to Yang Guoan, then invite everyone to have dinner together, and let me set up a line for him."
"Oh, that's alright. You set up a line for him, and the rest is up to him."
"Yeah, he can't get up now anyway, so giving him a few days' agency fees can be regarded as a way to win over us and ease the relationship with us. By the way, he'll call the police to see if he can get an extra shield for them.
Stay safe from now on."
"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place? If I could have been embarrassed yesterday, I wouldn't have been beaten today."
"You have to suffer losses before you can remember. I just went over and heard him say that he originally wanted to discuss it with me after receiving the goods this morning. Who knew those people were so accurate and stared at him."
"I was just dissatisfied yesterday afternoon. I resisted a little and expressed my emotions. Last night I hid for a while and was resented. I gave him a good look this morning, but he didn't have time to react."
Although A Guang got a bargain, he still felt sympathy for Chen Jia Nian.
"Those gangsters are stupid and don't understand. They can't get any money for beating people. Isn't it a loss for them?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Maybe they think they have found a new way to make a fortune. It doesn't matter, let's vent their anger first."
A Guang stretched out his index finger and tapped him twice.
He reached out and slapped it away, "Are you polite?"
Ah Zheng changed the subject and asked: "Ah Guang, will he ask you to help contact and collect the goods starting in the afternoon?"
"yes."
"Then you have to pay attention to safety. There are so many ships, and they are all for you to collect. We have already been eye-catching enough, but now there must be many pairs of eyes staring at it. The cargo of 25 ships is quite a lot, and you can get it in one trip.
A few dozen tons may be more than what can be harvested from a dock. If it is not guaranteed, there may be other people who are using their brains."
Aguang touched his chin and said, "That makes sense. Dongzi, please come on board later and lend me a gun, just in case. Although the rental house is only a short step away from here, I'm afraid that someone brave enough will take advantage of it."
I just finished selling the goods and they robbed me in the alley on the way back."
Ye Yaodong nodded, feeling that his concerns were justified.
"56 and a half is a bit long, can you just hold it in your hand?"
"Then I hold it close to my chest?"
"Is there any difference? You can ask your father to bring two of the boatmen with you, or when you harvest, bring two of the people watching from the rental house out. Don't leave it alone."
Originally, in the rental house, there was a person keeping watch on each boat. It was one thing to help cook the meals in advance, but someone also needed to watch the jellyfish they were drying.
Not only to prevent others from fishing in troubled waters, but also to prevent locals and neighbors.
"Okay, what you said makes me nervous. When you dock in the afternoon, remember to bring me two more guns from my father. This can be a deterrent to anyone who doesn't have the foresight."
He didn't want to be beaten like Chen Jianian.
If you really can't move while lying in bed, the loss will be huge.
Yesterday, Chen Guolong was coaxed, but it doesn't mean that no one will cause trouble. There will always be jealous people, and money and silk are alluring.
Usually, if he had dozens of dollars in his pocket exposed, he would be easily robbed. What's more, when he was receiving goods and counting money on the dock, a large amount of money was exposed to the sun for everyone around him to see.
A few days ago, there were some gangsters looking for trouble with Chen Jia Nian, which diverted most people's attention, but no one could attract any more firepower.
"knew."
Fortunately, he brought four guns with him when he came here, and he borrowed one from Aguang. He also has three more. They are enough to deter ships on the sea, and there is probably no need for guns for a while.
Alas, it’s not easy to make a lot of money on other people’s territory when you are away from home.
Even if they enlist the help of the police, they can't always keep an eye on you. Most of the time, they still have to look at themselves.
Making money is not easy.
After selling all the goods, Ye Yaodong left a gun for A Guang, and by the way, Chen Shi stayed with him. Then he went back to fishing with peace of mind. There were so many people on his boat, so it didn't matter if one person was missing.
However, when they finished selling their goods and continued towards the trench, they were followed by fishing boats again.
Moreover, this time they were the only two boats together. Because they were delayed talking to A Guang, the other boats had already hurried away after selling their goods, but now there were four of them following behind.
When he stopped the boat, the other party followed him without giving an inch, and Ah Zheng jumped to the point where he was almost out of breath.
"What should we do, Dongzi? This time our boats can't outnumber others."
"Tampering, it seems we can't spread out. Anyway, they all guessed that we have a good fishing spot, so we should all gather together. With more people, we always have an advantage, and people don't dare to act rashly.
"
"Yes, after they disperse, if a ship is followed by them, they can't hide it."
Ye Yaodong looked at the ship getting closer and closer, and he didn't want to think about whether it would be better to go in and out together.
He ran to the cabin, took out another spare gun, and pointed it at the ship coming towards them.
"Yes, hit them, shoot them, and see if they still dare to follow!"
Ah Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw that he actually had a gun.
And Ye Yaodong didn't show any mercy. When they were less than twenty meters away, he fired a shot at their cabin.
The thundering sound rang out over the sea, covering up the sound of waves and wind, and rang in their ears, causing the fishing boat coming towards them to stop suddenly.
Ye Yaodong also shook his numb arm. The recoil was really strong. Although it was a crude gun, it was not inferior at all compared to the 56 and a half.
"Let's sail the boat. Drive faster. If you scare them, they probably won't dare to follow."
"Dongzi, how many guns have you prepared? Do you have more? Give me one too?"
"No, this is the only one on this boat. You just need to follow me closely..."
The fishing boat was moving quickly, and the fishing boat behind it did not catch up anymore.
Ye Yaodong stood at the stern of the boat and kept watching. He couldn't help but think that it might be wrong to let everyone disperse. Their biggest advantage was probably that they had more people and more ships.
With a numerical advantage and thermal weapons in hand, it was enough to overwhelm other fishing boats and frighten them so that they would not dare to approach even if they had the idea.
According to his observations these days, the number of local trawlers in the entire dock town may not be as good as theirs. There are also a small number of people who have come from nearby towns these days, and the rest are basically various small wooden boats.
Accounted for most of it.
We can try tomorrow and continue to go out with 25 boats to see if any other boats dare to follow.
They felt relieved when they saw that the distance was getting farther and farther, and there were no other fishing boats behind them except Ah Zheng's boat.
After arriving at the trench, Ye Yaodong told his father and Pei's father what happened on the shore and at sea. Pei's father was worried because of it.
"I will leave two more people for Aguang in the afternoon, and two more guns for him. It is better not to spread out with so many ships. It is safe for everyone to stay together, and it will also make people dare not underestimate us."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I thought so too. When I just came back, I was followed by several boats. I shot and threatened them before they were frightened. I just thought that everyone still couldn't disperse."
"It's not easy for Ah Guang to make money. I thought it would be safer because there are more people this year, but it looks more dangerous."
"It would be better to have a gun in hand."
Father Ye frowned and said: "I will talk to everyone when I go back in the evening, and also call the fishing boat from Chen Jiannian over to talk about it. Since Aguang will temporarily take over for Chen Jiannian in the next few days, let's all get together."
"Anyway, we say to the outside world that we in other places are afraid of being bullied. Someone has already been beaten, and everyone is afraid, so we all stick together when entering and leaving, and our credibility can be higher."
"Recently, I have seen more and more jellyfish on the sea, and the locals have gained more harvests. The floods have begun, and the gap between everyone is narrowing."
"Um."
"How many days will it take Chen Jia Nian to get out of bed?" Father Ye asked.
"I don't know. I didn't even look. I just listened to what A Guang said."
"Since he did not leave the agency work to his relatives and friends, but to A Guang, which shows his sincerity, then we have to express our sincerity when we return, go over and take a look and stand for a while."
"He must also be thinking that if he gives the job to his own people, he won't be able to get it back, and there may be internal strife, and they can't stop the gangsters from looking for trouble. Giving it to A Guang will serve multiple purposes, and he will be beaten anyway.
If you can’t get out of bed, you must maximize your profits.”
Father Ye nodded, "It makes sense."
"Okay, you won't suffer any loss anyway, let's fish quickly."
Four more people came in and out of Aguang's side, and he still had a 56 and a half in his hand. The safety factor increased sharply.
It cannot be said that they have persecution delusions. The fact is that the dock is already chaotic and a mixed place. In this era, plus they are foreigners, as time goes by, more and more local people know about them.
The more goods you sell, the more money you will accumulate in your hands. This is obvious even if you think about it.
Two days after Chen Jianian was beaten, after everyone went to sea early in the morning, their rental house also received a group of uninvited guests.
They were all a group of strangers. Aguang looked coldly at the shouting people at the door, kicking and kicking to find trouble.
These people probably came to the door smelling the smell of meat, and some even shamelessly carried sacks, minding their own business to collect the jellyfish blood they had dried at the door.
"Collect protection fees and be knowledgeable..."
"Outlanders, be smart. I know you have made a lot of money during this period. Hurry up..."
"Hurry up, my time is precious..."
Aguang smiled brightly again in an instant, "Okay, you guys will wait a moment."
He looked at the proud expressions of those at the door and went straight into the house to get the gun.
These people are even more shameless than Chen Guolong. At least they go to the dock to collect protection money openly. But on the surface, these people are just playing dirty tricks. They come here to show off their power while everyone in the family is at sea.
Pooh!
There is no way I want him to laugh with me.
What cats and dogs deserve to come to your door to collect protection money?
He touched the hot weapon in his hand, and after walking out, under the urging of those people, he slowly raised the gun in his hand.
"You...what are you doing?"
"Stop bluffing, I'm not scared. Get me some big solidarity cards quickly, or I'll blow up your doghouse..." Those people panicked for a moment, but pretended to be stern.
"That's it, don't scare me with a broken gun..."
"Bang~"
"Ah...really...really...really..."
"Oh my god, let's go, let's go...go quickly..."
After Aguang fired a shot into the sky, he pointed the gun at them again. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their calves almost trembled, and the sacks fell from their hands.
Moreover, Chen Shi and another boatman at the back each came out with a gun and pointed it at them, which frightened them so much that they urinated. They couldn't even speak fluently, and they were running away in an instant.
I’m so sleepy, I’m going to push myself to death, I’m working too hard, and at this point in writing, do you still have a reason not to give me a monthly pass?
Chapter completed!
