But they are a little far away, and the two boats on the opposite side are blocking them, so they can't see clearly. What's the situation?
Besides, Ye Yaodong was also a little curious about that huge swordfish, and wondered if it was still there?
Will the three boats join forces to round up?
But these ships are used for smuggling, so there should be no tools on board to hunt and kill, right?
He stretched his neck, squinted his eyes, but he could only see the cargo piled up on the two opposite boats, but he couldn't see clearly what was going on with the other boat and how it was turning over.
"Why don't we get closer? Don't get too close, just take a look?"
Father Ye shouted at the other boats when he heard the words, and asked about it. After everyone agreed, he drove the boat there.
Unexpectedly, just as they were approaching, a sailfish with a waving flag galloped along the water in front of them, which frightened them greatly, causing Ye's father to stop the boat urgently, and the two boats beside him also stopped suddenly.
The sharp snout can't be tolerated by ordinary boats.
But fortunately, it swam over at a very fast speed, but then saw it staying on the surface of the sea not far away, poking here and there, swinging its body back and forth.
Ye Yaodong moved a stool to step on, leaning on the strong wall of the small cabin, and looked into the distance.
I saw many fish corpses floating on the sea surface, and then, it opened its mouth to **** wildly, and all the blood and water from the fish corpses swept into its mouth in an instant, and then, it quickly freed again, continuing to rush forward like a galloping sailboat .
It turned out that it had encountered a school of fish, so it stopped to use its sharp sword-like long snout, churned and stirred in the sea, chasing and killing wantonly, stirring up the sea surface with blood and tumbling fish corpses, and then swallowed them in one gulp.
"Ah, I'm going. It turned out that there was a school of fish over there that was discovered by it, so it stayed there and launched an attack."
"This fish is too scary. The speed at which it flew past just now, even people in front have to be penetrated."
"So that boat was miserable..."
"Huh~ Those two boats seem to be dragging that boat away?"
"It seems to be going to the foot of the opposite mountain?"
"There seems to be something in the sea?"
Ye Yaodong stood tall and looked far away, and said in surprise: "It's a box and a sack! Dad, take the boat over and have a look."
"good."
Anyway, the fish has already left, and they are all curious, what are those boxes and sacks floating on the sea? Why didn't it sink.
The three boats moved forward quickly, and the fishing boats in front also noticed them, but they were powerless to control them at this time. What they have to do now is to reduce the loss and drag the attacked boat to the shore first, so as not to sink lost heavily.
As long as the fishing boat is not sunk, it can be repaired anyway, and there is still some cargo on board, so it may not suffer a lot.
In the front, two boats were dragging one boat, so the boat was not going so fast. Everyone in the back also found that most of the stacked things on the boat had been scattered. When it fell into the water.
"Dongzi, those boxes and sacks must have fallen when the boat just tilted." Ye Yaosheng was overjoyed.
Chen Jianian echoed, "That's right, otherwise they wouldn't all be concentrated in this area."
"Get rich, Dongzi, let's salvage these boxes and sacks, there must be good things in them..."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, not as excited as they were, "Not necessarily, most things just sink to the bottom, and the weight floating on the sea is relatively light, maybe it's just some small things."
Good things are like watches. The radios must have sunk directly. How can they still float on the sea?
"That's true."
"But there are so many boxes and sacks, no matter how they are picked up for nothing, you can pick them up first to see what they are. These things on the boat must be sold for money."
"That's right, they shipped it all the way from the high seas, and they must be sold for money. Let's fish it first." Father Ye echoed excitedly, and slowly approached the floating objects on the sea.
The same goes for the two boats next to them, both approaching the floating objects on the surrounding sea.
At this time, no one was in charge of the three boats in front, anyway, they have no time to control them now.
Boxes and sacks vary in size. The small ones are fished directly with hand-drawn nets. The big ones are not easy to catch. Ye Yaodong took out his hands from the cabin and threw the nets out, and then dragged them forward. .
The three boats all planned to hurry up to fish, and leave as soon as they finished fishing. They still had to hurry, and they were afraid that the two boats would drag the boat to the shore and turn around.
"This sack seems to be quite heavy..."
"It's floating in the sea, it hasn't sunk, so it shouldn't weigh too much, right?"
"Is it possible that the wood is driving the things inside to float on it?"
"The sinking thing will sink..."
"Fill first, let's go when we're done, and then open it slowly."
"Hey good..."
There were only a dozen or twenty floating objects floating on the sea surface, and the three boats did not get off twice, and all of them were caught on board with just a few words.
Ye Yaodong counted, and they fished 3 small boxes and 4 sacks from their own boat, mainly because these were relatively close to his boat, so they were easy to salvage, and the principle of proximity was the principle.
I don’t know how many other boats caught. They drove the boat and ran away as soon as they finished fishing, and everyone didn’t have time to stop and chat.
"Open them all to see what's there? On the way back, I didn't expect to find a bargain, and I don't know if it's worth it."
"Come and drive, you are lucky!"
"There are so many bags no matter how cheap they are, and they were picked up for nothing. Let's see what's there first?"
"The shape of these two bags looks the same, they are both long. Could it be cloth?"
"It's possible, the fabric is also quite good, take it back and wash it, and it can be used to make clothes after drying..."
While everyone was discussing, Ye Yaodong picked one of the two bags they were discussing at random, and untied the rope tied on it, and saw polyester knitted fabrics of various colors neatly arranged vertically inside.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised!
"Really cloth! Several bolts of cloth!"
"It's all fabric, a lot..."
"This cloth costs a few dollars per meter..."
It's really the cloth Ye Yaodong is also excited, it's okay to soak the cloth in a little sea water, anyway, they will go back today, and when the time comes, take it back and spread the water and rinse it by yourself, and it will be fine in the sun.
"The fabric is good. There is another bag with the same shape. It must be fabric. Hurry up and open it to see what kind of fabric it is. The color looks so bright and colorful." Father Ye eagerly wanted to open it himself.
"Okay..." Ye Yaodong continued to untie the sack excitedly.
Undoubtedly, the second bag was opened with the same cloth, but this one was made of tweed cloth, which was even more surprising.
"It's woolen cloth for making clothes in winter. I heard it's very expensive. It's good for making coats in winter."
"I found a treasure, and there is cloth inside..."
Everyone is more excited, the woolen cloth is more expensive, and the coat is not cheap.
"There are several black ones, red ones, beige ones, and black and white checkered ones. They are all beautiful colors. I heard that a coat costs over a hundred yuan. How many pieces can you make?"
"You're really good at fishing, you got all the cloth."
Ye Yaodong narrowed his eyes with a smile, "The ones floating in front of you are all sacks, and you can get them with your eyes closed. I also picked up two at random. Let me see what are those three small boxes and the other two bags? Wait a minute Everyone pick a little."
At this moment, they also heard the exclamation of the ship next door, and everyone else looked over.
"They also opened the box there, and they must have opened something good."
"It's leather shoes, they opened a box of leather shoes!" The second cousin exclaimed loudly while lying on the side of the boat.
Others also looked over and saw them taking out leather shoes there, and they were all envious.
"These leather shoes are not cheap!"
"There are really good things in these boxes..."
"It's a pity, we should have picked up a few more boxes just now, and I don't know how many have sunk in the sea..."
"It's not a pity, anyway, these are all picked up for nothing, and it's good if we can pick up a few pieces. And those things that sank, probably won't be usable after being soaked in sea water, just these fabrics, take them back and wash them It can still be used." Ye Yaodong was in a good mood.
Just made a lot of money, these are just icing on the cake, it's good to have it.
Father Ye also nodded, "If it's a radio, a camera recorder, etc., it won't work if it's soaked in water, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's continue to open it to see what else is in those few items?"
Ye Yaodong took a look at the parallel boats next door that were opening boxes, and was very motivated to open one first, "Go and open the other bags and boxes too."
"well…"
"It's a digital watch!"
"digital watch…"
"Bang Tian~ This small box of things is an electronic watch... Is it soaked in water? Can it still be used?"
"This one costs eight or nine yuan. There are dozens of them."
"See if it's damaged by soaking in water? If it's broken, what a pity?"
The three of them didn't bother to untie the sack, they squatted down excitedly when they saw it, and surrounded the box.
At this time, watches were popular, mechanical watches were too expensive for ordinary people to afford, and rural people didn’t have much money. This kind of electronic watch was also a watch.
In the 1980s, there was no complete network and digital information coverage, and every household needed clocks. This is a part of life, and it is super popular now.
When Father Ye heard that they had arrived at the watch, he also stretched his neck, "Give me one to see... Is it soaked in water, can it be used? Or stop the boat for a while, and open everything first? Also open the old watch. Far away, the two boats won't be able to catch up, so take it back?"
Ye Yaodong yelled at his father, "Start your boat first, and then you can see it later. It won't be gone. Let's talk about it after running a little farther away."
"Pick out these watches later, some are soaked in water, some should be fine, pick out the broken ones and discard them."
These electronic products are most afraid of sea water.
"There are 4 more, one for each person."
Everyone excitedly chose one to open. Unexpectedly, the two boxes were all tapes.
The second cousin said happily: "This tape is also good. People in the city like to listen to the recorder with the tape..."
Ye Yaodong checked it casually, and found that a lot of water had entered it, and his hands were wet when he touched it.
But fortunately, there is a layer of white plastic film and plastic shell, and there should be no water ingress.
"Fortunately, there is a plastic film, it should be usable."
"Go back and borrow a tape recorder to try a test or two. This one is also welcome."
Ye Yaosheng also flipped through the box of tapes in his hand happily, "The inside is definitely not wet, and everything should be fine. There are dozens of them in this box, so it's a big profit."
The second cousin said happily and regretfully: "It's a pity, the sea must have sunk a lot. It would be great if it didn't sink. It's all in vain, and it's given to the Sea Dragon King."
"It's good to have these, but you don't think there are too many for nothing?" Ye Yaodong said with a smile, anyway, he was already very happy.
It feels like he is doing it all over again, and he has a lot of hits and money, and I don’t know if it is the benefit of doing it all over again.
"That's right, it's worth a lot of money just about anything."
"There are still two bags, open them quickly and take a look..."
"I'm here for clothes!" Chen Jianian said excitedly as he untied the rope from the sack.
Everyone looked at it and found that it was all gaudy.
"It's women's clothes!"
"Women's money is easy to make!"
"These people have brains."
"One more bag of..."
"Would you like to drive it for me?" Father Ye also stretched his head and kept watching, wishing he could stop the boat directly. He just listened to their excited talk, and no one said to come and take over, let him go and have a look.
"Then you come." Ye Yaodong went over to take over the job of sailing in his father's hands, and asked him to untie a bag as well. He reckoned that the bag was also clothes or something, and it was limp.
Father Ye rubbed his hands, his old face burst into a smile, and he glanced at the other open boxes and sacks before going to untie the last sack.
"These people are really good at picking. The things they got here are all sought-after good things. These things don't have to worry about selling..."
"If those watches and tapes are good, they can be sold for a lot of money? It's a pity that they fell into the water, and I don't know how much they are broken..."
While he was untying the sack, he was still muttering words. It seems that elderly people have a common problem, and they like to babble.
"Huh? My bag is made of nylon mosquito nets. This one is also good. It is also a good thing. I heard that when it was hot, many people queued up and couldn't buy it. Some people had to ask people to buy it everywhere."
Chen Jianian also fondled touching it, "Yes, this nylon mosquito net is easy to wash and durable. Someone in our village bought it, and everyone went to his house to see it."
"There should be several in this bag, I'm lucky."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy to see his father untie a bag of nylon mosquito nets. Their house is in short supply. The mosquitoes in summer are very poisonous. There is also a bag, and he is so distressed.
Yesterday he saw it in the alley and wanted to buy it, but he couldn't grab an aunt.
He looked at the endless sea, but he couldn't see anything behind him, so he stopped the boat directly. He ran a long way, and he shouldn't be able to catch up.
And those people's top priority now is to keep one boat watching, and the other boat hasten to catch up with the team in front, and ask the master to repair the boat after it lands.
Thinking of it this way, people can't spare their hands, and they won't be able to focus on these soaked goods. They all fell into the sea anyway, so it's not worthwhile to waste time chasing them.
"Hey? Why did you stop the boat?"
Everyone looked over.
"I think this is a small amount of goods, and it's still soaked in water. They shouldn't come after them deliberately. They have goods on board, and we can't see them running away. It shouldn't be a big problem to stop the ship now."
"Then stop for a while..."
The other boats that passed by also turned around and stopped after asking a bit. Everyone exchanged with each other what was in the sacks and boxes they caught on their boats?
The harvest is pretty good, there are some similarities and some differences.
Both of them have leather shoes on board, but only he has electronic watches and nylon mosquito nets.
Ye Yaodong looked at the people on the boat, "Take a look and pick out whatever you want."
Chen Jianian rubbed his palms back and forth, his eyes lingering on those things, and said embarrassingly: "This is your boat, and the salvaged things should be yours, I'm just a boat..."
The second cousin and Ye Yaosheng also laughed and said: "Yes, we are just part-time workers, earning wages with you, the boat is yours, and of course the things you fish are also yours."
"We just work for you. Without our help, you can fish it yourself."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, these cousins of his are really honest, no wonder his father's and his mother's relatives are not particularly promising, they are all fishermen all their lives, inheriting their father's career.
Ye Yaohong, who was the most promising in his previous life, has already gone in to step on the sewing machine early in this life, so much so that his uncle felt ashamed, embarrassed to leave the door, and dared not visit.
"It's okay, let's choose a few items for each person, anyway, it's a windfall. It's free, of course, there are people who see it, and you don't have to be polite. Just look at what you want, and pick whatever you want."
"How embarrassing..."
"Keep it for yourself and sell it..."
"We are all our own people, not outsiders. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is not bad to pick a few as gifts for the family."
"Then...then we are not polite?"
"Pick it, pick it..."
Father Ye was a little hesitant to speak, but he restrained himself and didn't speak. He just watched them pick and choose over and over again with distress, and he was already scolding the prodigal son in his heart.
Picking at will... how can you pick at will?
Wouldn’t it be enough for one person to give one or two things?
This dead boy is really poor and generous, I feel so sorry for him.
But fortunately, the three of them knew how to measure, and they didn't take too much. They just took a good electronic watch, and picked two pieces of women's clothes. No one took the big piece of cloth or the big nylon mosquito net. .
Father Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it, and he was satisfied in his heart, and he was able to say a few words with a polite smile, "Can I take two more? Is there still a sack here? How about some tapes?"
"No, enough is enough, this electronic watch is already worth eight or nine yuan, and these two women's shirts and trousers are already worth more than ten or twenty yuan, which is enough."
"Okay, okay...then you guys put it away and put it back in your own basket. My daughter-in-law should be very grateful when I go back."
Ye Yaodong also squatted down and counted the electronic watches in the small box, checked them carefully, and threw those whose screens didn't light up on the deck.
This action made Father Ye feel distressed again. He quickly picked up the watch on the deck, put it near his mouth, blew on it, and wiped it with his sleeve.
"Why don't you just throw it around, take it back and repair it, maybe it can still be used?"
"Repair? Who repairs it? Does anyone in the village know how to repair watches?"
"Then you can put it away first, why are you throwing things around and ruining things like this?"
Ye Yaodong pursed his mouth. This is an electronic watch, not a mechanical watch. Whether he can find someone to repair the watch is still a problem.
He put the watch back, sorted out the good and bad ones, and maybe he could exchange two of them with his elder brother and second brother for a pair of small leather shoes.
Let them pile up other clothes and fabrics in the corner. There is no need to dump them out to read. There are also two boxes of tapes. I have to go back and borrow a tape recorder to try it out. I can pick out the good ones and sell them for money.
They picked things up here, but the two boats next door were still unfinished, and they were still taking out things with great enthusiasm, looking at and touching them, and talking excitedly there.
Ye Yaodong simply waited and took a casual shirt out of the sack to have a look. The weather turned cold and it was just right for him to wear a shirt. This red plaid shirt also looks quite foreign.
The goods smuggled outside will look better than their local ones, or they were too outdated a few years ago and could not keep up with the development level of the times.
Wait for the other two boats to be happy. After picking the goods, they also imitated Ye Yaodong and gave two things to the people on the boat. Everyone who saw them had a share.
Then he looked towards Ye Yaodong with unsatisfied interest.
"Dongzi, let's exchange things we don't have when we get home? Now is not the time to get these things on the boat."
"Well, let's talk about it when we get home. Now we have to hurry, and there will be a long delay. I guess it will be dark when we get home."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at Father Ye who was still touching the tape and electronic watch, "Father, the boat is sailing."
"Hey, here we come..." Father Ye trotted over, "Give me and your mother a watch when we get back, anyway, you have about 20 good ones."
"Okay, let's pick some clothes when we get back. There is still a sack of clothes. I'll let my mother pick a few when I go back."
"It's a pity, it would be nice if the tapes were replaced with leather shoes."
"It doesn't matter. If you want leather shoes, just go to the elder brother and the second brother to get two pairs. I just don't know if there are any suitable ones."
"We'll talk about it later when we get back."
Father Ye grinned and happily took over the task of sailing the boat, but in an instant he frowned again, "It seems to be a little windy, and the boat will not be so smooth going forward. It will be dark when we go home."
"It's dark, so it's dark. Who made it take so long? Anyway, after dark, it's also in the sea around us, and you will be familiar with it. Anyway, you can drive as safe as you want?"
"Um."
Ye Yaodong happily ran back to look at the goods he had just picked up. He poured out all the tapes and asked everyone to wipe them with a cloth and let them dry.
Along the way, everyone was immersed in joy, and no one was in the mood to play cards anymore. They were all discussing the topic of smuggling, touching their watches from time to time.
I can’t afford a mechanical watch, and this electronic watch is very rare for everyone.
