Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

On the deck, Wang Mazi glanced at Xu Laobie who was surrounded by smoke and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Ahem, Boss, there's still some time. Are we just going to sit there and wait?"

Xu Laobie didn't even raise his eyelids and exhaled thick white smoke.

"What else can you do if you don't wait?"

Wang Mazi didn't know where he got the courage from, he threw away the fishing net in his hand and ran to Xu Laobie in a few seconds.

"Boss, the sperm whale and the sea monster were all released, and we lost thousands of dollars.

While there's still time, why don't we look around and catch a couple more whales?"

That's several thousand dollars. If it is sold, Wang Mazi can get at least several hundred dollars.

Old Bie Xu rolled his eyes to the sky and took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand.

"You think I don't want to catch them? Do you think those whales are cabbages in the sea, and you can catch them whenever you want?"

Wang Mazi smelled the cigarette with an intoxicated look on his face. Xu Laobie looked at his useless appearance and simply threw the cigarette butt that was left in his hand to him.

"Hurry up and go to the stern to pull the net, don't let the passing fishing boats see you."

"The situation is tense lately. After finishing this job, I'll have to hide for a while when I get home."

Having said this, Xu Laobie cursed in his heart.

Wang Mazi was right. If he hadn't met Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou, he could have exchanged the sperm whale and the sea monster for thousands of dollars.

These fishermen, like his father's generation, considered themselves to be the police at sea and were meddling in other people's affairs to prevent them from hunting whales.

If you ask him, they are all seafood from the sea. Aren’t those whales, sharks and turtles just seafood that are bigger in size and live longer?

Those ordinary fish and shrimp can be caught, why can't these big guys be caught!

Fujia Village, Boss Fu, when he returns, he must find someone to find out who these people are!

Old Turtle Xu kicked the empty water tank beside him in indignation. He had not checked the almanac on this trip, and the sperm whale and sea monster he had caught with great effort were just let go.

Not only was he released, but he was also threatened with a knife and tied up with chains. The dwarf and Wang Mazi saw him like this, and all his dignity as the big brother was gone.

The most important thing is that after Fu Wan and the other person left, Xu Laobie thought about it over and over again, and finally suddenly discovered something.

While the woman surnamed Fu was dealing with him on the deck, the man entered the cargo hold.

He ran to the cargo hold and found that the box was not opened, but there were a lot of messy footprints on the ground.

I don’t know if the man discovered that the wooden box he placed on the edge was filled with gold and silver jewelry and cultural relics.

If he had discovered it, why didn't the man touch the gold and silver jewelry? Is there really anyone these days who can resist the temptation of gold and silver?

Xu Laobie was puzzled. The dwarf who was driving the boat didn't know what was in the cargo hold, and Wang Mazi didn't dare to go in to take a look. Only Zhang Fugui was brave enough to open the wooden box that was the same as the usual one for loading cargo.

If he wasn't afraid that the man was not tight-lipped and a little clever, Xu Laobie would not have wanted to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.

But if Fu Wan and the others hadn't found the box, Xu Laobie would always feel empty in his heart, as if there was a time bomb, and he always had a premonition that something was going to happen.

Wang Mazi had no idea that Xu Laobie had so many things on his mind. As soon as he saw Fu Wan, she knocked him unconscious.

When he woke up, the whale had run away, the sea monster was gone, and his elder brother, who had come with high spirits, was like a mouse meeting a cat. He looked around wherever he went, always feeling that someone would swim out of the sea.

Forget it, he continued to pull the Internet cafe. There were still some seafood in the sea at this time. Even if there were no whales, it would be good to pull up some crabs, which he could have a meal later.

Wang Mazi comforted himself and returned to his original place to continue setting the fishing net.

Their fishing boat was also bought second-hand, so it cannot be used for trawl and can only cast simple drift nets.

The so-called drift net is to spread out the fishing net vertically and then stand it vertically in the water with the net.

In simple terms, it is like setting up a net barrier in the sea. When fish, shrimps and crabs pass through this barrier, their gill covers or fins and tails will get caught in the net lines, and then they will be caught by fishermen.

Compared with trawl nets, this type of drift net does not require a net hoist, is low-cost and easy to operate.

But at the same time, drift nets cannot catch big fish, and at most they can catch some fish such as swimming crabs and small pomfret.

Moreover, when this type of net is pulled back, it is easy to damage the fishing net when trying to remove the fish entangled in the net.

It takes time to get the fish off the hook, but this is not a difficult task for Wang Mazi.

Because his sea transportation was extremely poor, usually when he put down the whole drift net, let alone catching a full load of fish, even if he could find a bucket of crabs, it would be a favor from the Goddess Mazu.

Otherwise, Wang Mazi would not have given up his job as a fisherman and joined Xu Laobie in smuggling.

But since he had nothing to do now, he might as well put the fishing net down and try his luck.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the closer the transaction time came, the more nervous Xu Laobie became, and he couldn't stop smoking.

It was only because there were a lot of cheap cigarettes among the goods they smuggled, otherwise if they continued to smoke like this, not only Wang Mazi, but also Xu Laobie himself would feel distressed.

"Ma Zi, use the telescope to look. Is there a ship ahead?"

While smoking, Xu Laobie did not forget to observe his surroundings, especially the sea surface next to his boat, for fear that Fu Wan would come out from somewhere again.

Wang Mazi had just retrieved his drift net, and as expected, there were only a dozen crabs.

Nearly half of these crabs were still carrying babies, so Wang Mazi didn't throw them away. Although it was immoral, he felt that at least there was some meat on them, and he could take them home and steam them for a meal.

When Wang Mazi heard Xu Laobie say there was a boat ahead, he thought it was coming for trade. He picked up the telescope and looked in the direction Xu Laobie pointed, only to find that it was not.

"Boss, it's a fishing boat, they're setting their nets!"

When Xu Laobie heard this, his furrowed brows did not relax.

It is normal to have fishing boats at this time. In the past, when they were trading, there were also fishing boats operating nearby.

In fact, they all use these normally operating fishing boats as a cover. It is because of these fishing boats that they can get away with it in front of the coast guard.

Seeing that there were less than ten minutes left before the transaction time, Xu Laobie plucked up his courage, gritted his teeth, and asked the dwarf to drive forward as usual and stop the boat at the place where transactions were previously held.

At this time, on the high seas, a ship could be seen slowly approaching this side. Seeing the ship getting closer and closer, not only did Xu Laobie's heart beat faster and faster, but Fu Wan and others who were concentrating on observing this side were also excited.

After waiting for half the night, the boat finally arrived.

Wang Desheng and Xu An were even more excited. In their eyes, the boats not far away were all walking medals of honor. As long as they caught the criminals red-handed, they would definitely secure the commendation this year!
