Ye Yaodong just wanted to stay nearby so that he could have a clearer understanding of where things were going. The results of the two ships had not yet been resolved.
If he was driven away, how would he know the outcome?
He asked his father to sail the boat and trawl the surrounding area, as long as it didn't get close to the law enforcement boats.
The other three fishing boats nearby have also started to move, but his boat has not moved yet, so they are all waiting there.
Ye Yaodong shouted to the other boats, "It's okay, just do what you have to do, just trawl normally."
After saying that, he turned to his boatmen and said: "Let's start working as usual. You should cook the rice, and you should arrange the fishing nets."
"From the time it was opened at night until now, not a single net has been dropped. It's early in the morning now. I'll cook a little porridge and eat it. Those who haven't slept all night will go to rest after breakfast. After they have slept, they will come back to work.
.”
He was going to take over from his father after dinner later and let his father go to bed. Although he didn't sleep much at night, his father had really stayed up until now.
After everyone agreed, they quickly went about their duties.
The four boats also slowly separated, each at a far distance, spread out on the sea.
Ye Yaodong also went up to the helm, continued to hold the telescope, and looked at the surrounding sea in all directions.
When our own fishing net was lowered, other boats slowly lowered their nets at about the same time.
They said they were distributed on the sea, but in fact they were scattered around the two detained fishing boats in the center.
Others were probably paying attention to the movements on the sea at the same time.
"Dad, let's choose the direction they are chasing. It's too far away and we can't see it. Let's get a little closer without getting in the way and see if those two ships can escape."
"We definitely can't escape. Now the other ships are free." Ye's father said, but he still drove the ship in the direction of the law enforcement ship's pursuit.
When they met and gradually shortened the distance, Ye Yaodong also saw it with a telescope. The distance the fishing boats were chasing was very short. They were almost close to each other. Maybe they were forced to stop?
Father Ye asked: "Did you see anything? I just saw a few small dots. They seemed to be very short and they didn't move."
"They are so close together that they should be forced to stop. Look at that side. There is only one ship left in that direction. I think the other one should have sunk. There is only one law enforcement ship left."
"Another one has sunk?"
Father Ye was surprised and quickly turned around and drove in the direction he was pointing. There was really only a solitary dot left.
"How much is the loss? Both boats sank, so the whole boat, looking at it wrapped tightly with raincloth, is probably worth a lot."
"It must be valuable. If it's not valuable, why are they smuggling? The prices of things must be more than doubled as they come and go. The goods piled high on one ship may be worth hundreds of thousands."
"How many...hundreds of thousands..." Father Ye's eyes widened and his mouth opened.
"What's so surprising about this? It may be worth more than one million. It could be worth millions if sold."
"Oh, that's so heartbreaking."
"Why are you feeling so distressed? Your life is about to be lost, so why are you feeling so distressed?"
"I mean those law enforcement ships."
"That's true, I feel really bad. A whole shipload of goods, isn't it all confiscated? Of course I feel bad for my own things."
The father and son watched quietly.
After finishing breakfast, they saw the two boats in the distance heading back.
They also stayed a little further away depending on the situation, then circled around and slowly moved towards the two captured boats in the middle to work on them.
Ye Yaodong thought about letting his father go to rest first, but Ye's father was reluctant to go to bed at this time, and he hadn't seen the result yet.
The boatmen on the deck also stood on the deck and whispered and watched, no one was willing to leave at this time.
It was the first time I saw with my own eyes a law enforcement ship seizing a smuggling ship at sea. This was a big deal. I was so bragging when I got back that I couldn't go to sleep at this time.
I've been up all night, so what's the difference?
In the past, they could only hear about it, but now they see it with their own eyes and experience it for themselves.
However, they did not dare to get too close, as they were also working at this time.
Father Ye didn't have the guts either, so if there was any, it would have to be given by Ye Yaodong.
At this time, he asked Ye Yaodong, and Ye Yaodong only said that he could just watch around and not get close.
After all, they are just ordinary fishermen and fishing boats. They are enforcing the law in the office, so it is not appropriate to approach them several times, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.
Normal people would usually stay away from the current situation, but there was no one like him who kept approaching and asking about the situation.
If you are curious, it will be fine if you get close to him once. If you keep getting close to him over and over again, people will think that he has ulterior motives.
At this time, other fishing boats were also paying great attention to the law enforcement boats. Father Ye was connected to the others, muttering about what he saw.
The other fishing boats were far away, but they were brave enough to get a little closer, and with binoculars, it would be clearer.
After the law enforcement boats gathered together one after another, they only stayed for a while, and then they all started moving at the same time, including the three captured boats.
"Dongzi, Dongzi, are they going back to the shore?"
"It should be so. We have captured three large ships and people. We will definitely return immediately."
"When we get back, you can ask your godfather. He must know the situation and what was seized on those three ships. By the way, ask the people on the ship how to deal with it. There must be some from the villages near us."
"Um."
He was thinking about whether to go back now, but if he went back now, he would look a little suspicious. When others returned with their front legs, he would follow them to the shore.
It shouldn't matter if it's a day or two late. Communications are underdeveloped, policies are imperfect, and the Coast Guard's law enforcement capabilities are not that strong.
"We will return when the warehouse is full. If the warehouse is not full tomorrow, we will go back tomorrow and sell a batch of goods ashore."
"It's all up to you."
"There is nothing to do now. They have also sailed away. You can go and rest. I will watch here. When you wake up, come and replace me. It will take more than half an hour to close this net."
Father Ye nodded and said with some regret: "It's a pity. The two boats sank. Why don't you wait until you have had enough rest and go down and take a look?"
"Dad, have you tasted the sweetness?"
"Haha, don't you want to give it a try? I see that you go down there too, and you can often get boxes. Anyway, you have those things on your boat that you can take a look at."
Ye Yaodong was actually a little bit ready to make a move. It was the cargo of two large ships. It would be a loss if he went down and took a look. He didn't see anything.
"It will be later. I can't go into the water until I have had enough rest. It's also cold at this time. The temperature rises at noon. Let's see if it gets warmer."
"Then I'll leave it here to you. I'm going to rest first. If I wake up...well...it's probably too late. I'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Don't hold out hope. In the deep water here, it will definitely sink to the bottom. Wherever you can get it, you can only treat it like a dead horse."
If you don't give up, just go and take a look. Where can you really hope to get the goods that the two ships sank to the bottom?
"Um."
Father Ye gave him the cockpit and went to rest first.
Ye Yaodong watched the eight boats gradually leaving in the same direction. He also retracted his eyes, put down his binoculars, and concentrated on trawling.
When the time is right, let people close the net and pick the goods.
Everyone took turns to work in an orderly manner, and spent the whole day discussing what would happen to the people on the smuggling ship.
Everyone is grateful that they are in a legitimate profession. Although they don't earn as much as the smugglers, they are much better than many others.
Breaking the law and committing crimes is unacceptable. If you are happy for a while, you may regret it for the rest of your life, and it will also make the whole family worry and suffer.
Ye Yaodong and his father took turns taking a rest, and by the time he woke up from rest, it was already the next morning.
When Father Ye went to rest, he told him to wait until the sun was strong at noon before going into the water. He happened to wake up at that time and could help keep an eye on it.
Ye Yaodong has no objection.
The harvest in the past two days was also very good. Spring is getting warmer and there are more goods. A few more nets can probably fill the fish warehouse almost full.
Yesterday, he also notified several other ships in advance, asking them to keep all the groceries on board. He planned to go back to the shore this evening and bring them back to him to avoid being thrown back into the sea. It happened to be that he would dock at night and go back to sell goods.
Thinking of this, he thought about it. Later, he might be able to search all the goods on the three fishing boats and temporarily use the Dongsheng as a fresh-collecting ship!
He would drag all the goods from other ships back together and sell them at a good price to make a profit. Anyway, he planned to go back in advance.
You can empty the fish warehouse on the ship and continue to load it. You don't have to return in advance with him, and you don't have to find other fresh-harvesting ships to collect the goods. He can also take the opportunity to make a profit and become familiar with receiving the goods in advance.
Perfect!
He held on to his thoughts for now, and he would wait until the time came when he was moving the groceries. He didn't have a weighing steelyard or scale on the ship, so he had to rely on trust.
There will definitely be no problem with Aguang and his two brothers. Then we will see if Zhou Da and the others are willing to give him the goods on the Mancang number to take back and have them weighed.
It doesn't matter if I don't give it, since my family has a lot of goods anyway.
Ye Yaodong pondered over and over again while thinking and working. Anyway, the process of homework was boring and unchanging.
After Ye's father woke up at noon, they had a meal and just in time to collect the fishing nets that had been lowered into the sea, Ye's father drove the boat to a sunken spot.
He asked Ye Yaodong which place to choose, but Ye Yaodong just told him to do whatever he wanted. He didn't have high hopes anyway. At worst, he could go into the water and have a look at both places.
"Ah Dong didn't buy these two things for free. No one recognizes these things, but he knows them and knows how to use them."
"Yeah, I've never seen it before. I didn't expect it to be able to go into the sea for so long with this thing."
"It's all by following Dongzi that you can gain experience..."
Everyone turned to laugh at Father Ye again, "That's why you couldn't wait to come back from the other two sons' boat."
"If you're going to mess around, it's better to follow A Dong, hahaha..."
"Isn't that right? Everyone followed Guangzong Yaozu once and got published in the newspaper. I never dared to think that I could be published in the newspaper in my life..."
"I just had my chance to make a career with A Dong... How could I have such a chance with others..."
As soon as he heard everyone talking about this again, Father Ye became depressed, his face turned dark, and he had no desire to speak.
Ye Yaodong happily interrupted everyone's teasing, otherwise his father would be sulky again.
"Someone can go down with me, and I have a companion." Ye Yaodong looked at everyone and said, "If any of you are curious about what's going on down there, you can go down together."
Chen Shi was the first to raise his hand, "I..."
"Okay, then it's you. I've trained you these past two years in vain, so do your best."
If the stuttering problem can be solved, it would be a good idea to hand over the boat to Chen Shiguan.
Chen Shihan smiled and quickly took off his clothes and changed into equipment.
Father Ye also said: "Don't talk nonsense, this pile of goods is still waiting for you to pick it up, hurry up and do it."
"Haha, if you don't delay talking while you are working on your hands, you might still have a chance."
"Yes, everyone says that Adong's shipping is good. Although there are more and more ships in our village in the past two years, no one can make money as quickly as Adong."
"To put it bluntly, 2/3 of the boats in the village belong to Adong."
Everyone was talking about the excitement. They were already used to it when Ye Yaodong and the others went into the water. No one was around them, and they all hurriedly worked on their own.
In fact, I had no hope of seeing the sunken ship down there, and felt that my efforts were in vain.
Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi jumped down after warming up.
Elsewhere, he is the duck prophet of spring water. Today, he can only be a duck with Chen Shi.
The two of them shivered as soon as they got into the water, and only went downstream after they got used to it.
But before they even got to the bottom, three or four meters away, they saw a huge whale.
Before they could be surprised, they saw the whale open its mouth wide, and then spray out a bunch of long things from its mouth, and the two of them hurried to avoid it.
Chapter completed!
