Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1334: Battle to Pick Up the Loss
The next few days were peaceful.

Everyone went from being excited and curious at the beginning to becoming calm. They were no longer surprised or shocked. At most, they just sighed casually.

It would be surprising if we didn't get any good stuff out of such a big ocean.

When we discovered that there were sharks, dolphins and other big fish following behind the stern of the boat, we remained calm.

I've seen too much, so I don't have the initial sense of novelty anymore, and I don't have any extra energy.

I repeat the same work every day, it's boring and I don't get enough rest. How can I be happy? I feel numb and tired.

My biggest expectation now is probably to wait for this month to pass quickly and then decide on the right day to return.

When we first went out to sea, we only said that we would be back around the beginning of the month, but as for how long we would stay at sea, that was hard to say.

There was a small rain yesterday, but it had no effect on the fishing boats at all. Except for typhoon days when the wind and waves are strong and they have to return, the rest of the time it is entirely up to the captain to decide.

While Ye Yaodong was contacting the other two ships to collect the fresh goods, he also sold the cheap goods that had been kept there for the past few days, and also replenished some fresh water.

They can't be sold for much money. He won't sell the big red squids, which are the largest in quantity, but will take them home. He will also freeze the more expensive ones to sell at home.

The other cheap goods, all added together, are only slightly more than the giant squid, and the fresh goods are sold at a heavy discount on the shipping boats, so they can't be sold at much price.

If he didn't need to replenish other supplies, he might even have to pay out of his own pocket.

His fishing boat was large, with plenty of storage space, so when he set out, he had already filled it with supplies, enough to sustain him for almost half a month.

In fact, it is okay to replenish fresh water later. Everyone lives on the boat and knows that they need to save water. Some people have never even washed their faces or brushed their teeth.

However, a full bag seems to give people a greater sense of security. This stuff is a necessity of life, the source of life, everyone is consuming it, everyone can see it, and no one will think it is too much.

The other diesel and ice are still plenty. If necessary, we can wait for the next fresh fish collection ship to come and replenish some.

When the fresh produce shipping boat saw that he only had such a small amount of goods to sell, they asked a few questions out of curiosity. Ye Yaodong told them the truth, saying that he had to return at the end of the month and would not stay at sea for long. Only then did they understand.

But it was just a coincidence, as the two ships that were really in need were nearby.

After selling more than 2000 kilograms of goods, I only made more than 3000 yuan, not even yuan.

Ye Yaodong shook the money in his hand and put it directly into his pocket, "It's really worthless, this is all I got after working for a week..."

"Haha, how about you go check out the freezer, Brother Dong?"

"What's in there should be kept back home."

"Those squids weigh about 100,000 kilograms, and they already take up almost half of the freezer... There are also other more valuable goods..."

"It's OK. We can still put it in. We still have enough space. After a few more days of fishing, they will call the seafood boat over and we will sell some more. My boat has a larger capacity than theirs. When it can't hold any more, we will go home."

If there is really no room in the food, you can temporarily put it in the refrigerator or leave it outside. The weather is cold and it will not go bad if you keep it for a day or two longer. However, you must return it immediately when there is no more space.

It’s just that there seem to be too many squids. If we drag them home at once, we don’t know when we can finish processing them. The workshop will have to recruit workers.

It looks like I can’t keep it anymore. I have to sell some of it. The production is too large…

However, the things they dumped back into the sea were more than what they caught, such as anchovies, sardines, whitebait, herring, small red shrimps, etc., which were also dumped into the sea in the thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms. They were no less than the squids, only more than the squids.

In the 21st century, these large fishing boats will lose money, all because of the high oil prices. Just filling up the tank costs or yuan, and the workers' wages are also high. The monthly salary alone costs more than yuan, and there are also some other maintenance expenses for the fishing boats.

In addition, if you are unlucky and encounter too few fish, the catch is not enough to cover your expenses, and you will be penniless within a year.

The government also provides subsidies, but when times are bad and you really suffer losses, the subsidies are not enough to make up for the shortfall.

When the workers heard that the tanks were fully loaded and could go home, they became very excited.

"Then it will be full very quickly. It will be full in another week..."

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile on his face, and some of them were already counting on their fingers, counting the days in a week.

"But in another week, the fresh-water boat will come, and I can sell another batch of cheap goods, and I will have space to fish for a few more days."

"Too……"

"Don't think about it, it's just a few days at the beginning of the month. Think about it, the workers on the other two ships have to drift on the sea for half a year. It's still winter now, and it will be summer when they dock and go back. And they can only go back because of the typhoon."

An older fisherman smiled and said, "That's right, you are still too young. You have only been out for a few days."

"I'm ready to get off the internet. Selling goods takes up too much time. Most of the day has been wasted."

He gave a shout and everyone quickly cleaned up the deck and went about their business.

Ye Yaodong touched the several thousand dollars in his arms and climbed up to the wheelhouse. He first took the money to his own exclusive lounge to deposit it.

It was actually better for him this way, as he kept most of the goods to sell when he returned to the shore, and he didn't have much cash on him.

Other fishing boats stay at sea for half a year, and no one knows how much cash they have on board. They have many partners, and those who work on board are shareholders, or brothers, nephews, or nephews.

These days, as long as you are brave, it is relatively easy to make money.

After hiding the money, Ye Yaodong returned to the cab, took a sip of hot tea to warm his body and hands, then picked up the squid shreds on the side and started chewing.

He has been chewing it for several days and his cheeks are sore. He didn't dare to eat it yesterday. Now that he is free and his mouth is itchy, he chews a little bit because he doesn't want to smoke.

The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes, the more delicious it becomes, and the more addictive it becomes.

The workers would stuff a handful of them into their pockets, and occasionally put a few in their mouths and chew them while working, which was quite enjoyable.

He didn't dare eat too much at this moment, for fear of hurting his cheeks.

The workers had almost finished cleaning the deck and were now dragging the fishing nets to the slipway at the stern of the ship.

There is no need for him to do anything. They are all familiar with the job and just need to cooperate with each other. There is no need to ask him for confirmation and then do it like in the first few days.

Now when we see good stuff coming in, we are very calm and have become numb to it.

Not to mention them, Ye Yaodong was also numb to it.

When I was poor, my eyes would light up when I saw something valuable.

Now that I've seen so many good things, I don't feel any waves in my heart anymore.

He turned around and looked at the calendar. There was a big number 21 and the number 8 written in small font below it. Today was the th day since he came out.

It’s still too early to go back.

When he turned his eyes to the display screen again, there were a few raindrops on the windshield in front of him, making a clicking sound.

"It's raining again……"

The workers who were busy on the deck also noticed that it was raining. There were dried fish hanging there to dry, so they hurriedly took the dried fish down and then went back to the cabin to put on their raincoats.

When Ye Yaodong was in Zhou City before, he bought a few nylon raincoats and put them on the boat, but they were only placed on the seafood boat and the Dongsheng.

This boat was newly acquired, so there were no nylon raincoats and the workers had to bring their own raincoats.

He thought about buying some and putting them on the boat when he got back. After all, it was more convenient to work in a raincoat, as a straw raincoat was too heavy.

The rain was falling with a pattering rhythm that became more frequent. The windshield in front was blurred and the sound of the wind outside became louder.

“The conditions are tough…”

He calmly drank tea, chewed squid strips, and sighed.

We still have to drag the nets even on rainy days. I just hauled in one net this morning. I have to sell the goods later, so I didn't cast the nets again to avoid delays.

The net has been set, and two or three workers are left there to watch the dragging of the fishing net and the normal operation of the machine. The others have returned to the lounge to rest.

After it started to rain, the sky suddenly became dark. It was clearly past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still bright a moment ago, but now it suddenly became dark, as if it had suddenly become night, and the lights on the boat also lit up.

But his 5.3-meter eyes seemed to see something whizzing past him?
When he reacted and looked carefully, there was nothing.

Although it was getting dark, it was still a little bright and not as dark as the night. He was sure that he was not dazzled.

"How many? So fast?"

He rubbed his eyes and looked around, but didn't see any strange unidentified objects nearby.

After watching for a while, he gave up and turned his attention back to the display screen, trying to guess what kind of fish was darting past.

Otherwise, I can’t imagine what it could be. There are plenty of fast fish in the sea.

He slowly adjusted the direction of the fishing boat according to the information detected by the sonar and continued to catch his fish.

The rain gradually became heavier and the sky gradually darkened. At this time, the workers on the deck cried out in surprise.

Ye Yaodong couldn't hear any sound, but he could see them shouting and waving, and then they were all lying on the side of the boat and watching.

He also looked over and saw waves splashing and churning violently on the sea surface in the distance, forming large pieces of white foam, which looked much more conspicuous.

"What's going on..." He muttered as he watched, his attention diverted a little.

I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a fight between two fish.

In this kind of weather, with strong winds and heavy rain, he didn't want to bother with it. Safety was the first priority. He didn't need two more fish, he just wanted to watch the fun.

You can’t see the hustle and bustle of people at sea, you can only see the hustle and bustle of fish. Survival of the fittest, the hustle and bustle of fish is actually quite interesting to watch.

However, no one expected that when the fishing boat was moving slowly along the predetermined track, the two fighting fish were left behind. When everyone was about to regain their composure, suddenly a black and white object whizzed from the rear deck and rushed to the bow, scaring everyone.

Ye Yaodong was also startled and jumped up, "Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

He was stunned and cursed again, "Fuck it!"

He immediately went out with a loudspeaker, stood on the wheelhouse, and shouted to the three workers on the deck: "Hurry up and hide to the side, don't come close..."

After the workers below screamed in surprise, they were still patting their chests. None of them had recovered from their shock and were still in shock.

After hearing what he said, I quickly stood at the door of the lounge and hid myself first.

Ye Yaodong stood on the rudder tower in the rain, looking at the two big guys who were still struggling below with surprise and joy, and couldn't help swallowing.

"This is too awesome..."

I saw two super big fish entangled together below, occupying the entire bow and half of the deck. As they struggled, blood was flowing everywhere.

One of them turned out to be a sailfish, a sailfish, oh my god, the sailfish from The Old Man and the Sea.

The dorsal fin on it fluttered in the wind like a big flag, and it was pitch black, giving off a majestic and domineering aura.

This fish is known as the Flash in the water and is the top hunter in the ocean. Its speed is so fast that it can be exaggeratedly replaced by teleportation.

It is huge in size, well-developed in muscles, and ferocious in nature. It is one of the fastest fish in the ocean.

Its pointed snout is one-quarter of its body length, and it relies on this stick to dominate the ocean.

No wonder when it started raining ahead of him, he felt as if something whizzed past while he was sitting in the cockpit.

If it's this fish, then it makes sense, as its speed is one of the fastest in the ocean.

This one looked about three or four meters long, twice as big as the tuna he caught some time ago.

The largest bigeye tuna he caught was less than two meters long.

The other one was a great white shark, which looked about three or four meters long. The two were evenly matched, one black and one white, forming a sharp contrast.

These two fish just rushed directly onto the deck and are still fighting there. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva just looking at them.

This is too fierce...

I saw the tip of the swordfish's snout inserted into the great white shark's abdomen. I don't know why it didn't come out and it was still stuck there. The two fish were struggling and twisting violently, rushing around on the deck.

At this time, he didn't dare let any worker get close to him. If the swordfish's snout was pulled out from the shark's belly at any time and stabbed into someone, the person would die instantly.

How come it rushed onto his boat...

He just wanted to watch the fun, and didn't have any evil thoughts at all...

At this time, the big flag on the swordfish's back was still shaking, as if it was waving a flag to cheer itself on. The tip of its snout was tightly inserted into the shark's abdomen, and it would not pull it out no matter how hard the white shark rolled.

"Don't get close to them. One is a sailfish and the other is a great white shark. If you let the sailfish break free, its long mouth will make a big hole wherever it sticks..."

"Just hide. No one should come out until I say something. Let them wait for you..."

"These two fish can kill people, especially the black one. You must not come out to watch the fun."

Ye Yaodong shouted a few more times out of concern, fearing that someone out of curiosity would come out to take a look.

I was also worried that they wanted to know the situation, so I gave them a few real-time updates.

"Oh my god, he's still rolling around, blood is all over the deck..."

"Fuck...pull it out...ah, it's in again..."

"Oh my god, this fish's stick is too long. No wonder it bleeds so much..."

"Don't come out. I'll go get the gun and shoot them first. Once they're dead, you can come out and see. It's still in time..."

His vision was very good. Standing on top and looking down, he could see everything clearly, but because of the rain, his vision was a little blurry.

He was so frightened that he ran out without even having time to put on his raincoat. He only had time to put the hood of his cotton-padded jacket on his head.

"Oh my god, I was wondering how these two fish suddenly rushed to our boat, the swordfish was so fast..."

If we rush towards the target, wouldn't the impact force be able to carry the prey onto the boat along with it?

The aim was really good, it rushed directly from their rear deck to the bow before stopping. The impact of just hitting the bow was enough to cause the great white shark to suffer a lot.

Perhaps it was the impact that caused the stick at the end of its snout to penetrate deeper, so the great white shark struggled for a long time and was unable to escape so easily.

If this great white shark wasn't big enough and had thick flesh, the tip of its snout would have pierced it through and nailed it firmly to the boat.

The snout of a swordfish is said to be able to pierce the steel plates of a cruise ship.

It is recorded that during World War II, a British ship "Barbara" fully loaded with oil was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean when it was suddenly attacked by an oversized swordfish. The swordfish's "sword-like" spear pierced through the ship's steel plate, and seawater poured into the cabin.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the crew did not realize what had happened and thought they were attacked by a torpedo.

After a while, the swordfish launched a second attack and pierced another steel plate. However, this time the swordfish's "sword" was also broken, and it lost its powerful attack weapon, and the swordfish was finally captured by the crew.

Ye Yaodong was reluctant to look away, the battle was too fierce, he watched a few more times.

Watching the two fish wreaking havoc on his boat, it felt like traveling through time to watch a blockbuster movie, on this stormy, dark evening.

He said he looked at it a few more times, but in fact he only looked at it for a few seconds and then went into his lounge to find his gun.

This prey was finally delivered to his door, so he had to waste it. He was also worried that they would struggle and fall back into the sea and run away.

Then all his efforts would be in vain.

He came out with a spear, and the boat was still stuck together, and the whole boat was rolling.

The blood from the great white shark's belly was washed by the rain and soaked the entire deck, which looked quite shocking.

If it weren't for its large size, it would have died long ago. How could it have struggled all over the boat while bleeding so much?

The most powerful weapon of the swordfish is the stick in its mouth. Once it is inserted into the belly of the great white shark, it has no other attack power. The two fish can only stay in a stalemate and wait for the great white shark to die.

Ye Yaodong took the rifle loaded with bullets and aimed at the swordfish below.

His shooting skills were not very good, but the swordfish was large and the distance was not far, so it was definitely a big target.

With a bang, the swordfish's body shook, then it struggled violently, and the tip of its snout was pulled out of the great white shark's abdomen.

He kept aiming and fired another shot which hit the target directly.

The swordfish was in so much pain from the sting that it lost its direction and rolled around on the boat. As a result, the tip of its snout pierced deeply into the iron wall of the crew's lounge, scaring the crew hiding at the door of the lounge into screaming.

"what……"

“Boom…”

"Ah, it's pierced...what should I do..."

"what……"

Ye Yaodong didn't bother to comfort it for the time being. Seeing that the great white shark was still struggling, he shot it again and then picked up the loudspeaker and spoke.

"Be careful and stay away. This swordfish has been shot twice. I will hit it twice more."

He leaned out of the wheelhouse and aimed downward.

This time, the tip of the swordfish's snout was stuck in the wall of the lounge, and its body was pressed against the wall, hanging in the air. You could hit it with your eyes closed.

After being shot twice more, its body continued to tremble. Its life would not dissipate so easily, but there was no need to waste bullets to shoot again.

One of them was already hanging on the iron wall, hit by four bullets, and was almost dead.

There was also a great white shark with several holes in its abdomen pierced by the swordfish's snout. Blood had already flowed all over the deck. It was shot by the swordfish again and was only struggling in its death throes.

The two super big fish are both on the verge of death at this time, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Given their huge size, it will take them longer to die than other fish.

Ye Yaodong picked up the loudspeaker and asked them, "How are you? Is anyone injured?"

The workers below collectively shouted, "No."

Then everyone started shouting at the same time.

"Scared to death..."

"Oh my, my heart skipped a beat, this fish is so fierce..."

"It's horrible. A long, sharp line went through the iron wall of the lounge."

Ye Yaodong couldn't see their situation, so he could only remind them, "Don't come out yet, don't run around, just stay where you are. The great white shark isn't dead yet, and the boat is still shaking and rolling."

"Don't be afraid of the swordfish. They are hanging on the wall, waiting to die. But they are not dead yet, so they are still dangerous. Everyone, take it easy and stay quietly in the corner."

"I will let you know when I'm dead, but you should calm down for now."

Not only do they need to slow down, he also needs to slow down.

His heart was still pounding.

Both fish were right under his nose. The swordfish went crazy after being shot. It actually jumped up and rushed around, and directly rushed into the lounge. He panicked for a moment, because the workers right below him were also in the lounge.

If I jumped higher, wouldn't I be jumping directly towards him?

When he walked straight into the lounge, his heart skipped a beat, but luckily everything was fine.

At this moment he still had the gun in his hand, pointing it back and forth at the two fish below, watching one of them tumbling and the other struggling by sticking its tail on the wall.

The rain continued to wash over the deck, diluting the blood and seeping out again.

Night had fallen and everything around was pitch black. The fishing boats were still operating according to the set trajectory. He didn't have time to look into the cockpit at this moment and had to deal with this place first.

If we deviate from the direction later, we can just contact Zhao Chengzhou and drive back.

Ye Yaodong wiped the rain off his face with his hand, picked up the loudspeaker and continued, "F*cking scared me to death, two big fish came rushing up and I killed them all."

"When it started raining, I saw a dark shadow running past. It was terrifying. Change direction and stay away from here. These swordfish live in groups. There may be more nearby."

"Luckily it's raining. The two fish are still bleeding and they haven't died yet. I don't know when they will die. The rain will wash them away and the bloody smell will be less..."

"Brother Dong, there are so many big fish behind..."
