Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 186
Ye Yaodong thought that only a few acquaintances knew about buying a boat. He didn't make a fuss about it, but if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that others didn't. His mother happily walked around the village that afternoon and told her relatives and friends.

When he returned to his new home from the old house, several rolls of firecrackers were piled up in the corner of his house.

The bright red color, he saw it as soon as he came back.

"It passed so fast?"

"It's spread all over the village in one afternoon. I'm thinking about ordering a plate of sugar cakes tomorrow to share with friends and relatives. After all, they have sent firecrackers over." Lin Xiuqing went to bring out the food in the pot when he saw him come back. said laughingly.

It is their custom here to distribute sugar cakes for happy events at home. On the day of moving, they also steamed two boards of sugar cakes to distribute to relatives and friends.

The same goes for buying a new boat, and there is also the custom of giving out candy cakes, which means getting higher and higher.

Ye Yaodong originally thought that it was just a second-hand iron boat, so keep a low profile and don't need to talk about it everywhere, but he didn't expect it to spread so widely.

"Mother must have said it, that's why it spread so quickly, order it tomorrow, order a plate of sugar cakes and share it with your friends and relatives!"

"Well, a few of your friends also sent some firecrackers. Seeing that you are not at home, they said they would come back after dinner."

"Oh."

"I thought, after all, we just bought the boat. We must check the date on the first day of departure. I just went to check it out. Tomorrow is not suitable, and there will be a day in the day after tomorrow. Nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow is a good time, and it will be released at that time." Go out after the firecrackers."

Ye Yaodong frowned, "Second-hand boats don't have to be so particular, do they?"

He also thought about driving it out at night to try to set the net for a day, and then paint it when he came back tomorrow and let it dry for two days.

"Although it's a second-hand boat, it's also our new boat. It's changed owners, so we have to have what we should have."

"Okay, let's paint first tomorrow, and I'll go over and talk to Dad after dinner."

This is the so-called sense of ceremony, right?

They like to wait for a good day to do things when they encounter anything in the countryside, so as to ask for a good omen, and if it is not necessary, they will not travel far on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

Just halfway through the meal, his friends came to the door one after another.

"Hey guy, you changed the boat for a new one without making a sound, awesome!"

"It's so unjust, and we didn't say it in advance. We still know it from the people in the village."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly pulled all the rest of the food in, "I didn't know that the boat could be bought so quickly, but I just sold it when I saw a suitable one. I just bought it in the morning, and you guys will know it in the afternoon. late."

"That's different. I didn't hear you mention it when I was at sea two days ago. Ma De, I can't catch up with the horse. I changed the ship so quickly. Ah Zheng and I don't know when we will be able to change to the big ship."

"Yes, there is definitely a chance."

Ah Guang didn't go out to sea today, and asked from the side: "Have you seen the day, when will the firecrackers be set off?"

"I thought it didn't matter if it was a second-hand boat, and I would go out at night. My wife insisted that she had seen the day and said that the firecrackers would be set off at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow before going out to sea."

"That's what you need. The second-hand boat is more than ten meters long. Of course, we have to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Our small wooden boat even set off firecrackers."

Ye Yaodong agreed, and chatted a few more words, agreed to come over at nine o'clock the morning after tomorrow to help set off firecrackers, and then went back.

He went back to the old house again and bought a bucket of dark blue paint. The next day he got up early, asked someone to help lift the boat ashore, and then started painting.

After thinking about it in my heart, after painting and setting off firecrackers, I went into the water with a brand new look. With a sense of ritual, it will indeed make people happier psychologically than directly driving out. After all, it is the boat I have been looking forward to for a long time.

And the sun started to come out today, and it cleared up, but it was cloudy for several days, and it was still a sunny day, which made people feel comfortable.

Ye Yaodong put on a coat of paint in the morning, and went out to put on another coat after lunch. Then he finished the work and went back satisfied. Then, he drove the small wooden boat out to collect the cage nets.

The ground cage was left in the sea for two days and I didn't have time to collect it. I didn't collect it yesterday because of the wind. Otherwise, I should have gone to collect it yesterday. Today I was busy until the afternoon.

His father had already sold the small wooden boat to his second uncle's cousin in a hurry this morning. For his own family, he had said in advance to borrow it first, and it would not be a big problem to take a ground cage when driving out to sea.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the pier, he heard a big news. One of their local ocean-going fishing boats suffered a bloody killing at sea.

Ye Yaodong's heart tightened, and he quickly approached the crowd, "What did you say, what did you say? When did it happen?"

"I heard that the fishing boat was in the high seas, and a crew member on board had frequent quarrels with the first and second mate, and then the crew poisoned the first and second mate to death at night. brought on board..."

The person next to me who just heard about it also had a numb scalp and hurriedly asked: "And then, what then?"

"Then I heard that the conflicts on the ship became even bigger, and the fugitives killed the conflicting boatmen while they were asleep and threw them into the sea. The incident broke out completely. In the end, only 28 of the 5 people survived. died……"

"I heard that a high-voltage wire was pulled from the back, and the heads of the few surviving people were hit by a power output, and two people were electrocuted to death..."

"It's too miserable... Later I heard that there were still people who were hacked with knives. There were bloodstains, knife marks, severed limbs everywhere, and a crew member was tied to the mast..."

"Really, it's too scary..."

"I heard about it when I went to the town this morning. It's too tragic. There are still fugitives on board. I don't know where the boatman was hired. It's terrible..."

"Really? Then... the family members must not cry to death. They went to the boat to earn money, but ended up with their lives..."

A person who watched the excitement frowned and said to everyone affirmatively: "My relative is from the Maritime Safety Administration. This is true. I heard that the fugitive was brought on board by the old rail. The cooling system put poisonous gas into the cabin, then tricked the first mate and second mate into it, locked it from the outside, poisoned the two of them, and then the conflict became more intense."

"In the end, the four survivors worked together to kill the fugitive and throw it into the sea, and then tied the old rail to the mast, ending the bloodshed."

The chief engineer is called Laogui by the locals.

Ye Yaodong heard that he was cold without a fight. In his previous life, there were occasional news that a certain ocean-going ship had bloody accidents at sea, often not because of encountering pirates, but because of internal strife on board.

We must know that ocean-going fishing boats go out to sea according to the operating method, as short as half a year, and as long as two or three years. The boring life at sea for a long time can easily affect a person’s emotions. It is normal to have conflicts. Every little thing can spark bloodshed.

People are killed at sea and thrown into the sea, as long as they accidentally fall into the sea, nothing will happen. This kind of thing is too common.

Therefore, the risk of going to sea is extremely high, and man-made disasters account for a large part.

In his previous life, he didn’t dare to go to the ocean. Without a certificate, it’s not a big problem. The main reason is that he is afraid that accidents will happen after a long time, so he only invites people to go fishing in domestic waters. He can return within a few months at most, which is much better than going to the ocean.

He pricked up his ears and continued to listen...

"I heard that the rest of the boatmen can't drive the boat, so they can only let the boat drift on the sea. They were discovered by the lighthouse staff when they hit the rocks yesterday. They reported to the marine patrol team, and then contacted our police. They were brought back for interrogation in the early morning. Today It was spread all over the town in the morning, it was too scary, it was a crime..."

"Why didn't I screen out the boatmen when I was selecting them, and didn't find a few reliable and familiar ones..."

"What you said is simple. How can it be so easy to find a boatman? It's even harder to find ocean-going ones. How many people are willing to go to the ocean? It's better to get a small boat at home and work casually than to go to the ocean."

Ocean fishing often encounters typhoons, machine failures, pirates, and infighting. Although the income is considerable, many traditional fishermen are unwilling to participate.

"I heard that those boatmen are all inland people introduced by the intermediary. Except for the captain, the first mate, the second mate and other management, the rest have not received seaman training, and many of them have no experience in going to sea. They are introduced one by one. If you are not familiar with each other, and you have a conflict, who will be polite to you?"

More and more people gathered around the pier, and the news spread more and more widely. Many people stopped going to sea and just listened to the news there. It was because of the fishing boats in their town that it spread so quickly.

"It's too miserable, this ocean is too dangerous..."

"Isn't it? We're just ordinary fishermen. It's good to live a peaceful and stable life by fishing. Ocean-going ships can't go..."

"It's not so absolute. The main reason is that there are mixed fish and dragons on that boat. To find a boatman, you still have to find a familiar and reliable person."

Ye Yaodong agrees with this, it's normal for a few people to die at sea, that's why he asked the boatman for his father's opinion, otherwise he can't find it, but people will die.

"It's estimated that tomorrow's newspaper will report this matter..."

Ye Yaodong stood there and listened for a long time. Everyone repeated what they said and said. He waited until he had heard enough before leaving for the boat.

The ocean is out of reach for him.

But it also reminds him that he must be cautious when finding someone, and his father is the most reassuring.

The ground cage net was confiscated after two days, and the goods inside were quite impressive, such as blue crabs, swimming crabs, stone crabs, pippi shrimps, white shrimps, red croakers, white croakers, small yellow croakers, yellow croakers, water grain fish, etc. There are many, big and small.

He deliberately picked out a bowl of white shrimps. Recently, the white shrimps are very fat, with red paste on their heads and red or lavender seeds on their stomachs.I also kept a 2-jin perch, which can be stewed in clear soup at night. The sea fish is rich in nutrients and will make you smart after eating. It is just right for his wife to eat.

The two boys in the family are not expected to be able to study. I hope that the one in his wife's stomach will be more successful and eat more fish.

When he returned from receiving the goods from the sea, the ocean-going ship killing incident was still being discussed on the shore, and it was estimated that there would be no way to calm down for several days.

When I got home, Lin Xiuqing also said there, "It's a good thing we found a father, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease."

"We're just small boats working offshore, that's okay."
