"Hey, you don't want us, hurry up... go get a net and try to see if you can catch it. It's so small that it can't swim fast..."
"You can fish it out and stew it for dinner. It's much better than a hen. You can save some money and use it for the whole family. Hurry up..."
They were thinking about going out to sea for a big fish, and they were already full of enthusiasm and had prepared everything. As soon as Haozi's wife called out, Haozi's father immediately and swiftly took out the fishing net that had been prepared long ago, and then found a good spot and threw it out.
This action made Ye Yaodong furious.
Damn it, he just let go and they tried to catch him, what does that mean
Haozi just looked at him embarrassedly, then lay on the edge of the boat and stared at the sea.
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he wanted to yell, but he held back and shouted, "Fuck you, I just let him go and you guys went to catch him, what do you mean?"
“Don’t you want it? If you don’t want it, we want it. You’ve lost it anyway…” After yelling, Haozi’s wife urged and asked if it could be pulled up.
"Damn the Gobi Desert..."
The sound of the engines of the two boats kept rumbling beside his ears, and the sea breeze was whistling, covering up the cursing behind him, making it less clear.
Father Ye was also there, condemning their immorality, "How could this be possible? We just let him go and you went to catch him. We were still watching...ah..."
Father Ye's voice suddenly became stuck.
Ye Yaodong also let out a surprised cry!
He saw several otter heads sticking out around the fishing nets they had cast. He counted them and found eight adult otters and three baby otters.
He didn't know whether one of the three little otters was the one he had just released.
However, those adult otters were tall and big with shiny fur. In Ye Yaodong's eyes, they were just handfuls of money.
The same is true in the eyes of others.
The people on the other boat also shouted in surprise, "Hey, look, there are several of them suddenly appearing from under the water..."
"So many, so many underwater, bang bang~ How come so many suddenly appeared..."
"Hurry up, hurry up, if there is no net, catch all those."
"There's only one fishing net, and Dad hasn't pulled it up yet, so just ignore it for now..."
Haozi's father held his hand and threw the net there, shouting happily: "It's so heavy, there must be something inside, Ahao, come and help me pull it..."
Father Ye anxiously said he would get the net, and then he hurried to look for it, fearing that they would get there first.
So many of them suddenly appeared. Now that we have seen them, whoever catches them must own them.
Ye Yaodong thought the same thing. If everyone saw it at the same time, whoever caught it would definitely get it. It all depended on who got it faster. The small ones were too cute and adorable, so he couldn't bring himself to catch them. But he didn't feel any pressure to catch the adult ones.
At this time, just as the father and son were eager to try, each holding a hand scoop net, they saw that Haozi's wife had already taken the hand scoop net and caught an adult otter.
The otter called out and twisted its body, splashing the water.
Soon, all the otters that emerged from the water swam over and pulled the fishing net underwater.
The mouse wife was only holding the handle of a stick. How could she withstand the combined force of so many otters
Being pulled into the water by so many adult otters at the same time, she was reluctant to give up the trophy she had obtained, so she could only hold on to the fishing net tightly. She also shouted to Haozi, asking him to come and help, but he was helping his father pull the fishing net and was too busy to do anything else.
The mouse's wife was holding the wooden stick, with half of her body leaning out of the boat, but she still refused to let go. Suddenly, with a splash, she was pulled off the boat by a group of otters and fell into the water.
"Ah! Help! Help! I can't swim!"
The woman under the water was floating up and down.
Haozi reacted quickly. He took off his cotton jacket and jumped down to save his wife.
The situation changed too quickly. Ye Yaodong and his father were a little depressed after she caught one fish first. Later, they saw a group of otters pulling the fishing net and they didn't know where to start.
But before long, the situation deteriorated drastically and people fell into the sea, leaving them all stunned.
The rat jumped into the water, and the splash of cold sea water made him shiver involuntarily.
Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat off his face and saw the otters dropping their fishing nets and all turning to attack the couple.
The water is the otter's world. Some of them grab their feet, some grab their arms, and some grab their bodies.
"Oh my goodness, it hurts so much, these damned dogs..."
"Go...go...get out of the way..."
"Hey, Dad, hurry up and help us pull it up first..."
"Pull it up first, it hurts so much to be caught..."
The couple felt very uncomfortable after being caught, their whole bodies aching, but they still stayed in the water. The mouse had to hold his wife to prevent her from being caught by the otter and sinking.
His wife felt her body was light and she was always worried that she would sink into the water. She clung to him tightly with her limbs. He could do nothing but hold on to her and dodge, steadying both of them. He was in a state of panic.
Of course, Haozi's father didn't bother to collect the net. He anxiously tied one end of the net to the mast of the boat and said something soothing to the mouse.
"It's coming, it's coming... I don't know what happened, a grown man like him actually fell into the water? It's coming, it's coming..."
Haozi and his father worked together to get his wife up first. Then he waved his hands wildly to shake off the otters that were entangled and biting him, and then he climbed ashore in a hurry.
When the otters saw their enemies climbing up, they shouted at them a few times on the water surface, and then sank into the water one by one.
Mouse's wife slumped in the boat, patted her chest with regret, and then kept cursing, "You damned beasts, sooner or later I will catch you all and let you die..."
"Lin Bei was almost killed by you guys. Don't let him fall into my hands next time. A beast is a beast..."
"My neck was scratched several times... Oh, it hurts so much, luckily I was wearing thick clothes..."
"Oh my god, your clothes soak up water and sink like a pig. I was almost dragged down by you and became a pair of desperate couples. You're still yelling. Aren't you annoying? Shut up!"
Haozi was also panting there, listening to her talking about things that were irrelevant, and was getting very angry.
Dragging a person who can't swim in the water, I was afraid that the person would move around like an octopus. Just now, she hugged his neck tightly and almost strangled him to the point that he couldn't move and sank.
He took off his cotton jacket before going into the water, wearing only a thin single piece of clothing, which was torn by the water towers. His back and arms were also scratched and bleeding, and he was in great pain all over.
"I can't swim. If I don't hold on to you, who else can I hold on to? If I don't hold on to you, I will fall into the sea directly."
"You'd better drag me down with you even if you die, right?"
"You are my man, you have to save me..."
"Alright, what are you yelling about? We've rescued them all, it's good that they're all okay. Be more careful next time. There are so many people who have lost their lives at sea. You dare to be so loud if you're not careful. Hurry up and help pull the net up first. It was only halfway pulled up just now."
Ye Yaodong and his son watched them all get on the boat, so they didn't pay any attention to them and let them fight among themselves.
The otters under the sea had already run away, so there was no need to catch them. He also threw the hand net in his hand aside.
Ye Yaodong walked towards the rolling wheel, "Let's continue to collect the nets, don't worry about them, they do their thing, we collect ours, we have been delayed for a long time."
"Well, I don't know what they caught in the net they cast just now. Chen Dawan couldn't pull it up for a long time."
"Who cares? Just get someone out. It's none of our business."
"nonsense."
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and planned to start the rolling wheel to continue collecting the net that he had just collected half of.
But when he finished collecting one net, he saw that the hand-cast net that the mice next door had just pulled up with great effort was hooked on his sticky net!
"Fuck, it actually got caught in my fishing net?"
"What?"
Father Ye was sorting out the entire sticky net that he had just collected, preparing to straighten it out, tie it up and put it away, but when he heard this, he quickly looked over.
"Hey? Is that our sticky net? How did it get hooked?"
"That's what I'm saying. Damn it. Pull the boat over and tell me."
Because they were collecting the nets, their boat had just moved forward a short distance, so they needed to move closer.
Haozi and the others were stunned when they saw that the hand-cast net had hooked a sticky net. No wonder it was so heavy. They pulled it for a long time, but when they saw that the sticky net exposed above the water was covered with many fish, they were ecstatic and didn't have time to think.
Mouse's wife was very happy. "I was so lucky to have caught a broken fishing net. There are still many fish caught~"
"A broken fishing net? Why does it look like it's new and clean to me?" Haozi's father asked puzzledly.
"It looks quite new, the mesh is very clean, it doesn't look like it's discarded..."
Haozi was also puzzled for a moment, but when he heard the sound of a diesel engine coming closer and closer, he turned around and thought of it.
"Shit, this is Dongzi's! It must have been hit by the waves and the line got entangled in our net. No wonder there is a buoy on the sea surface."
"This... shouldn't be possible, right? How could it be so easy to hook? Could it be broken by someone else? It can't just look new and be considered his..." His wife frowned, and said unwillingly.
Ye Yaodong also came over and said, "The net in your hands is mine. I put it down yesterday."
"I think so..."
At this time, his wife pulled him, but Haozi glared at her, then looked at Ye Yaodong, "It should be that when my father was casting the net just now, it got entangled in your net line."
Ye Yaodong was relieved that no one was shameless enough to take it for himself, otherwise he would not be able to drive the boat tomorrow.
However, when they were handing over the fishing nets, he heard his wife muttering, "I said I'd take it back..."
As a result, Haozi turned around and slapped him in the face, "Shut up, what's your business? We got someone's fishing net hooked, so we have to return it, right?"
On the boat, Mouse's wife was too angry to say anything. She just glared at them resentfully.
Ye Yaodong frowned but didn't say anything. After collecting the fishing nets, he just said hello and said he would continue to collect the nets and ignored them.
After they put away their hand-cast nets, they sailed away without any interest.
After they left, Ye Yaodong muttered to his father: "How could he hit his wife in front of so many people? This is too ugly. If there is any problem, go back and teach her."
"His wife is not good either. This is not someone else's network. He wants to take advantage of his friend's network."
"Luckily he returned it without saying anything. What kind of person is he? You have to be careful when choosing a wife, and you can't just follow what the matchmaker says."
Father Ye couldn't help but say, "You got married after knowing each other for only ten days. You should thank the matchmaker, otherwise you might still be single now, and how could you have three children at home."
"Tsk~ I can find a wife when I'm 30."
"30 years old? At 30, your children will already be around. If you get married earlier, you can become a grandfather in a few years. If you get married at 30, you will be condemned by others."
"In our time, we got married when we were 18 or 19, and women were 16 or 17. If they were still unmarried by the time they were 30, they were considered to be mentally ill, and people would scold them behind their backs."
"You are also lucky. You got what you wanted. You married a good wife. Your in-laws are also reliable. There are not so many problems. Fortunately, you are doing well now. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to face my in-laws and I wouldn't be able to drink."
"Hmph~different eras."
"Stop humming. Hurry up and take in this fishing net. Find another place to cast the net later. Otherwise, when you come tomorrow, you will find that someone has robbed you of your catch and there is nothing left for you."
"Got it. Once all the nets are collected, we'll move to another place."
Human hearts cannot stand the test, so why bother to gamble with your own losses on human hearts.
When he saw Haozi and others, he already realized that they could not be left here any longer.
Ye Yaodong hung the line on the rotating wheel, and then slowly turned it to collect it. "I just put it down yesterday. Today, this new net looks quite clean. There is no need to collect it and dry it in the sun, which would be a waste of time."
"Well, use it two or three times, then wash and dry it in the sun, and the smell will be gone. It's just right."
"How many pounds of goods did the net just catch?"
Father Ye looked at the basket at his feet and lifted it up. "It's almost 40 kilograms. Most of them are toadfish weighing two or three kilograms. Only the manta ray is relatively large. It's considered a good buy."
“The harvest is OK.”
"Well, we just saw three or four turbot in this net, which should be good. If I had known earlier, I would have told Guang not to let the boat out and make a sticky net."
"Why are you working so hard? Their family is already well off now. It's okay to take a winter break. They can just work hard next year. Why do they have to work like a mule?"
"Isn't it a pity? Your own ship is making money for others."
"He can also collect half of the rent, so he won't lose money, and he doesn't have to go out early and come back late, exposed to the wind and sun."
"Um."
It wasn’t their own boat, so Ye’s father didn’t say anything.
