I haven't been getting enough sleep recently, so my brain isn't very sharp. Last night's plot wasn't quite reasonable, so I've already made some changes.
————
Ye Yaodong pinched Ye Xiaoxi's chubby little face and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, saying nonchalantly.
"That's what I mean. If there's someone who's smart and capable of hooking up with me, then go ahead and get it. I don't necessarily need him to be the only one. I'm just saying that if I sell so many at once, I can sell them faster and get my money back sooner. Who knows, if I keep my shop open and sell slowly, I might even get another boss to come."
"I was thinking too much. Seeing so many villagers gathered there today, I thought some would follow suit."
"If they wanted to follow the trend, they would have done it long ago. They would have gone to the town one by one to sell them, or walked around the streets. How much could they have sold? Don't worry about it."
"If Ah Zheng can help you collect the fish and dry them, you can save a lot of trouble and won't have to worry about the difficulty in spring."
"This is called a win-win situation. We can make money together."
Ah Guang crossed his arms and touched his chin with one hand. "If his profit is small, it's okay if you give him a little more. At most, you can raise the selling price a little bit. The most important thing is that your supply has been solved. You don't have to worry about not receiving a large amount of dried fish and closing down."
"Pah, good luck! I'll take him to the market tonight and buy some, then dry them and do the math. Anyway, I bought dragon head fish in the market once before, and after calculating the cost, I can make a lot."
"What a pity. I have too much work to do at home. I have two boats. Otherwise, I would also like to do it. It seems like a sure-win business."
"What's a sure win? If it rains halfway through the sun, it will be difficult to deal with. If it rains continuously, it will be a disaster."
"At least it will be more stable."
"Um."
"How about I go to the city with you guys at night?"
A Guang was just saying it casually at first, but he was very interested after he said it. He had never been to the market before, so it would be fine if he didn't take A Zheng's job, but just went there to broaden his horizons. He had nothing to do recently anyway, so there was no harm in taking a ride and taking a look.
Several of his brothers-in-law have bought shops, so it makes no sense for him, as a brother-in-law, not to go and take a look
Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
"I'll help you with the escort and be your bodyguard. By the way, I'll broaden my horizons. I've never been to the city in my life. I've always heard you talk about the shops in the city, but I've never taken a look. Anyway, I don't have anything to do tomorrow."
"Okay, then bring one more burden."
It would be helpful to have one more person to help with the moving and lifting.
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother!"
Lin Xiuqing originally wanted to come in and ask A Guang if he wanted to stay for dinner so that she could cook more, but she heard the conversation between the two and smiled. It was rare to hear A Guang call her "Third Brother" in such a flattering way.
"Hehe, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Third brother said that he had rice from the rice field for dinner and couldn't afford to feed me, so he told me to go home and eat my own food."
"ah?"
Why did she feel that each of them was more out of tune than the other? They spoke like they were playing dumb, making it hard for anyone to understand them, and they used so many weird words.
And you always speak in the same tone
"Let's go, Third Brother. I'll come back at 12 o'clock at night."
Seeing Ye Yaodong glaring at him with his eyes wide open and about to curse, Ah Guang tactfully slipped away quickly.
Lin Xiuqing was completely confused. He looked at his back, then at Ye Yaodong, "What are you talking about? What is Mitiangong?"
"Nothing? Just chatting."
"baffling."
"Hurry up and cook. I'll eat and go to bed early. I have to get up at 12 o'clock at night."
"Oh." Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and went out to cook.
"Dad? You call me dad? Or daddy? Call me..."
I remembered someone's annoying voice behind me...
At night, darkness shrouds everything, the moonlight is hazy, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the earth seems to have fallen asleep. There is silence everywhere, only the sea breeze blows gently, the waves roll and crash against the coast, and occasionally there is the barking of one or two dogs.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong went to bed before it got dark. Something was on his mind, so he woke up early before midnight.
He looked at the time and it was only 11 o'clock, so he closed his eyes again and rested.
It was not until he heard one or two intermittent dogs barking outside that he thought of getting up and getting ready.
But before he could put on his clothes, the intermittent barking of dogs outside turned into violent roars, which scared him. Normally, the dogs in his house would not bark randomly.
When neighbors pass by, they will just go up and sniff, and will not bark unless a stranger passes by.
This big night...
Ye Yaodong frowned and didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He hurried out to the window to take a look, but he only saw a few dogs walking around, so he had to go back to the house to put on his clothes.
Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by the noise. "What time is it? So early? Why did the dog bark like that just now?"
"I don't know. I just went to the window and looked, but I didn't see anything. Maybe the dog was barking too loudly, so the people who were close to it got scared and left."
"People? At this hour, could there be something unclean? Everyone in the village knows that we have a lot of dogs. There's nothing in the yard today, and there are people in our house, so there shouldn't be anyone else coming to our door, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did this unclean thing come from? It must be a human!"
Although it was a bit unscientific for him to do it again, he also believed in these unscientific things, but when the dog barked like that at night, he thought it was a human, not a ghost.
"This man is much scarier than a ghost. Fortunately, he is quiet."
"I'll be out in a minute. If anything happens, just shout. The older brothers next door are also at home."
"Well, we are all home, the doors and windows are locked, so it's not a big deal. It's easier to be robbed when no one is home. Remember to wear a hat and tie a scarf, it's cold at night."
"I know. This isn't the first time I've gone out. You don't have to remind me every time. Just go to sleep."
"I was afraid you might forget."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and put on his hat, scarf and gloves as he walked out. He first looked out the window and was relieved to see that the yard was still quiet and the dogs had returned to their kennels.
After going to the back door to wash up simply, he went to check on his two sons' rooms and covered them with quilts to prevent them from catching a cold.
Don’t worry about the crooked posture. Now that they’ve been straightened out, who knows what they’ll be sleeping like next morning.
But when he was in his two sons' room, he heard bursts of whimpering coming from outside, followed by the intense barking of dogs.
His brows furrowed even tighter, and after closing the door gently, he quickly walked towards the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a horrifying scene: under the dim moonlight, a dog was hanging on the left wall.
The moment he opened the door, he saw the dog falling from the wall.
He took a look at it without any preparation and was startled. He also heard rustling sounds outside.
He trotted to the corner and became immediately furious, but when he saw the dog lying on the ground, kicking its legs a few times, and then getting up again, he felt relieved.
Originally he thought it was a petty thief who was unwilling to leave and approached again, which was why the dog was barking so loudly. Unexpectedly, he saw such a shocking scene.
"Fuck! Follow him and see who is so desperate. Bite him to death."
As he spoke, he pulled out a stick from the firewood chopper next to him and ran to the gate of the yard. After he opened the bolt, the old black dog hugged his feet and barked non-stop, probably wanting to go out and chase him.
"Go chase them first, don't let them get away. If you catch them, bite them. Don't be polite."
He hurried back and untied the rope tied to the old black dog.
He has kept the dog on a tether ever since he took it home, fearing that it might become wild and difficult to train and bite someone. Now there is no rabies vaccine, so he only lets it go occasionally and takes it out for a stroll.
Seeing it hugging his feet, it probably wanted to chase him out.
After receiving the order, the group of dogs immediately ran wildly in one direction, barking.
Ye Yaodong followed quickly with his big black dog. He caught a glimpse of a stool at the corner of the wall, but he didn't have time to stop and take a closer look.
Anyway, they won’t run away, so every household will mark their stools to prevent them from being borrowed and lost.
I'll come back and take a closer look later. Now let's catch the man first.
The big black dog ran faster than anyone else and barked louder than anyone else. As soon as it ran out of the yard gate, it left Ye Yaodong behind and chased after the group of puppies.
In the darkness of the night, Ye Yaodong only saw a few dogs running and barking wildly, but no human figures.
However, just because he can't see it doesn't mean the dog can't see it.
People only have two legs, but dogs have four legs. They can catch people just by smelling them, not to mention that the person just now didn't sneak away for long.
Just when he was halfway through his run, he heard a scream from the front, which was particularly clear in the dark, and the barking of the dogs became more intense.
We caught him!
He was delighted, gripped the stick tightly in his hand, and immediately quickened his pace to catch up.

Ps: I saw the backstage feedback early in the morning and immediately modified the plot.
Going to bed at 2 and getting up at 6 is too much...
It has been changed, don't worry.
