This is not like fighting with others on a boat. You just rob something and then put it on the boat openly for use. At most you go back and make some corrections with a pen and write your own name on it.
Today's boat!
But you can't be so blatant, otherwise it will be troublesome if something happens.
Anything with marks on it cannot be kept. It would be unsafe to take it back and alter it. Everything has to be thrown into the sea. Safety first.
Who cares where these buckets and baskets float to? Just don’t bring them back and let the villagers see them.
Ye Yaodong saw that they had even written the word "Money" in big black pen on the bamboo poles, just like on the buckets and bamboo baskets. He thought of not taking them back and sawing them off, and just threw them into the sea to let them drift away with the waves.
He took away everything that was marked, no matter how big or small, leaving only some small things. Fortunately, the fishing net could be used, and there was no mark on it.
After dealing with most of the things on the boat, he calmed down and patiently checked the boat inside and out before he was completely relieved.
Father Ye had been standing at the side of the boat, stretching his neck, watching him busying himself inside and outside, throwing this and that. It seemed a bit distressing, but none of these things could be kept.
"Are you done? Dongzi, are you done throwing away everything?"
"It's almost there. There shouldn't be anything eye-catching that people can recognize."
"That's good, that's good, then let's wait here until it gets dark, then we'll rush home."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong responded while looking around, wondering whether he should throw away the other unmarked ones as well.
After all, some things have been used for a long time, and sometimes they don’t even need any marks at all. They will feel very familiar and familiar. Moreover, some individual things may leave special marks during daily use, which only the owner will notice.
Thinking of this, he started throwing again, and simply threw away everything on the boat, leaving only the fishing net.
Father Ye looked distressed, "Didn't you say that most of them were thrown away? There are no marks on these anymore."
"It doesn't seem safe, so let's not take it. It's just some daily tools, scissors and hooks. Just sink them into the sea. We don't need them."
"All right."
Ye Yaodong was busy and sweating. Looking at the empty boat, he sat down with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally it's done."
"If we drive the boat away, they won't be able to come back at night."
"You're worried that they won't have a place to eat or sleep at night, right?"
His dad is so funny!
They hijacked someone's boat, and his father was worried that they wouldn't be able to return home at night
Ye's father also felt that he was crazy. Why did he care whether others could come back or not? He was obviously the culprit, so why did he care
"I just said that casually."
Ye Yaodong relaxed and said calmly: "The family should know why they came out. If this person didn't go back, the family would definitely ask for help from the village, or ask relatives and friends to help sail out to look for him."
"I'm sure I won't starve to death. I can just pick up a few seabird eggs on the island to replenish my energy, or just dig up some oysters from the rocks on the beach. They are better than anything else."
"Well, I feel a little uneasy, thinking about all sorts of things..."
Father Ye always felt like he was dreaming and couldn't calm down quickly like him. After all, they were still floating in the middle of the sea and had not yet returned home safely.
We have just started to make progress, so how can we be relaxed so easily
"Don't worry, it's done! Think about the good things. We now have another boat for free. How great is that? Business with no capital really pays off fast. No wonder those people fish and rob at the same time without any delay."
"We must not do this again in the future. It's too dangerous. Those people are not good people. I heard that their ancestors were all pirates. General Qi Jiguang even came to our Fujian Province to fight them. We are really asking for trouble today by stealing their boat..."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, how can we call this stealing? It sounds so harsh, we clearly found it! We found it! We found it! We found an unmanned boat on a deserted island!"
hey-hey…
It sounds better to say robbery than stealing. His father really doesn't know how to talk!
Father Ye listened to his unreasonable arguments and couldn't help shaking his head, "I'm impressed by your mouth, just like your mother."
"I see. This kind of thing only happens once. I was sweating in my palms just now. I was so nervous. It turns out that people should not do bad things."
"That's good to know. We have always been honest fishermen, and our ancestors have been honest people for eight generations..."
When Father Ye mentioned the word "honest man", he couldn't help but look at him several times...
Ye Yaodong also received the signal from his eyes and said unhappily: "Of course I am also an honest man. If you have this free time, why don't you go and sort the fish on the boat so that you don't have to spend half a day sorting them after we dock. We still have things to do in the evening."
"Oh, okay, right, right."
Father Ye responded quickly and went to sort the things. He was already so old, there was no point in preaching to him. He had also been in cahoots with the evildoers today, so he felt he had no right to talk to him.
After Ye Yaodong had some peace and quiet, he had nothing better to do, so he took another look around the ship inside and out. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Pirates are pirates after all. This ship was a little smaller than his own, and he estimated that it was about 15 meters long, but it had everything it should have.
However, the fishing net in the cabin seems to be a little dusty
I just touched my hands and they were all dusty. I was so busy tidying up that I didn’t have time to think about it. I don’t know how long this net has not been in the water
He went over and touched it again, and there was indeed dust on it. Considering that many fishing boats are now involved in smuggling, it should be understood that the people of Luzhou Island are not the kind of people who can fish honestly and be content with the status quo. It is normal for the fishing net to be covered with dust.
The father and son drifted on the sea, not in a hurry to go back, until Ye's father finished sorting the fish and it was getting dark, then the two of them slowly drove the boat back, one in front and one behind.
There were not many ships to be seen on the sea at this time. There was little cargo recently, so everyone finished work early and went home.
Only the father and son were guilty and waited until dark before going ashore.
Occasionally, we would encounter some fishing boats on the road, but they were from other places and took different routes.
When Ye Yaodong saw the light flashing on the sea, he moved away in advance. It was hard to see clearly in the dark, and it was even harder to see from a distance.
They had a safe journey back home, but they were still under pressure. It was not until they saw the pier from afar that they felt relieved.
Ye Yaodong had already made arrangements with his father in advance that he would drive the boat directly towards the beach while his father would go straight to the dock.
It was so late that most of the fishing boats had returned, and there were not many people at the dock. Among the purchasing points, only Acai's light was still on. There was a tractor parked in the hut outside his door. That was because their fishing boats had not yet docked, and he had to wait to receive their goods before he could send them away together.
Ye Yaodong couldn't hear Ah Cai's complaints.
He drove the boat towards the beach. The tide was now beginning to recede, so he drove as far as he could towards the beach. When he felt he could not go any further, he stopped the boat and dropped anchor.
There were no other boats nearby, all were moored outside the dock, and only his boat was parked on the beach, waiting to run aground.
After he parked the boat, he turned over and jumped into the water. The water level was above his waist, so he couldn't swim. He could only wade slowly towards the beach.
I was soaking wet all over, but luckily it was already mid-to-late April and the weather was still quite warm. Although the sea water was still icy cold at night, it was still bearable. I just shivered all over when I went into the water.
People can't walk fast in the water, but the tide is receding, and he can feel the water level getting lower as he walks.
And when he was about to reach the beach, he saw, under the moonlight, several thunder crabs rolling there with the tide. After the tide receded, these thunder crabs quickly drilled into the sand, buried themselves in the sand and disappeared.
He had something urgent to do at the moment and had no time to catch it, so he just glanced at it and passed it by, hurrying to the beach and heading home. Passing by a pile of rubble, he saw a small blue crab and he didn't dare to delay in picking it up.
He had to ask his mother to help at the dock, then change his clothes and go buy paint quickly, otherwise it would be too late and the grocery store in the village would be closed, and he would have to knock on the door.
Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother were at home wondering why they hadn't returned yet so late today. All the neighbors and neighbors had returned, leaving only them. After waiting for a long time, they saw Ye Yaodong appear at the door, dripping with water all over his body.
"Are you back?" Lin Xiuqing hurried over, holding the child.
"Why are you back so late?"
"Hey, why are you so wet?"
"What did you do?"
Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother surrounded him and spoke one sentence at a time.
Ye Yaodong waved his hands and began to take off his clothes. It was uncomfortable to have them stick to his body.
"I don't have time to talk to you guys. Mom, go to the dock and help Dad. The ship just docked, and I think Ah Cai is helping unload the cargo. Can you see if he can help me?"
"Did you come back early? What happened? Did something happen to you? Why are you so wet?"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, go outside the dock and take a look, I need to take a shower first, I have other things to do, I'm very busy, don't keep chasing me and asking questions."
"You're back now, what are you still busy with? You don't even have time to talk?" Ye's mother muttered as she walked out.
Lin Xiuqing quickly put the child down and let her play in the cage by herself. She took a washbasin from the shelf and went to the stove to scoop hot water for her.
There are two holes dug next to the earthen stove. You can open the lid and use a small ladle to scoop out hot water.
The two holes are usually used first. If there is no water, add cold water into them. Anyway, they can be heated up while cooking. The water in the thermos will be used again after it is used up.
