Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1231 Are you all thinking about guarding the big fish that escapes?
"Correct!"

"Recently, there are more and more speedboats fishing near our fish farm. Sometimes even some small fishing boats squeeze in here."

Ding Ailian nodded. That was indeed the case. Recently, there were indeed many small fishing boats or speedboats fishing at the fish farm.

"Have these fishing boats or speedboats caught any fish? Or have they caught many fish?"

Ding Xiaoxiang frowned and thought it was not strange for these speedboats or fishing boats to come to this place to fish. The most important thing was to see whether these people caught fish and how many fish they caught.

Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian immediately shook their heads. Although there were many speedboats and fishing boats, and some of them had been fishing in this place from day to night, the number of fish caught was really not that good. Both of them paid special attention and found that the fish caught by these people in a day were only three to five kilograms, and most of them were small.

“I wonder what these people want to do?”

"There's nothing much to say about fishing. These people will definitely come here to fish all the time, but the key point is that these people really don't catch many fish in this place. What's the point of spending the whole day here?"

Ma Baozhu shook her head. She really couldn't understand what these people wanted to do here.

Fishing is just a hobby for some people, but for most people, it is a way to make a living.

Most of the people who crowded around the fish rafts to fish these days were obviously people who went out to sea to fish to make money.

If you can't catch any fish and make any money in this place every day, you can't stay here forever. There must be some reason.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it for a long time, but really couldn't figure out what was going on, so she simply walked up to Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming and told them about it.

"Oh?"

"Is this the case? Are the speedboats or fishing boats that come here these days mostly those that we don't know if they are really fishing or not?"

Zhao Shi frowned immediately and turned his head to look around the fish farm. Not far to the east, there were two speedboats, three speedboats to the west, and a fishing boat to the south. He had actually seen them when he came back here, but he didn't take them seriously at that time. Now that Ding Xiaoxiang said this, this might not be what he imagined. There are not only fishing boats fishing here, but also many people.

"When there are more than ten or even twenty ships?"

Shi Guangming immediately felt that something was not right.

A few speedboats and a few ships would be understandable, but more than ten or twenty ships are really different. There is definitely something wrong. The main reason is that Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu both noticed that these speedboats or fishing boats could not catch many fish in this place.

"Old man Zhao."

"We must keep our eyes open these few days."

"See what's going on and what these people are planning."

Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi were a little worried about the fish farm, so they didn't immediately follow Shi Guangming's fishing boat out to sea after returning. Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu could handle this matter, but it would definitely be better if the two of them stayed here.

"Correct!"

"We really need to stay here for a few more days to see what these people are trying to do!"

"Humph!"

"Could it be that they think we are easy to bully?"

Zhao Shi glanced at Shi Guangming.

"Hey!"

"Old man Zhao."

"What on earth does that look of yours mean?"

"These people may not all be from our village, right? They may be from other places."

"No matter how long my arms are, I can't control these people. Besides, even if they are our people, if they really don't give me face, what can I do?"

Shi Guangming knew very well why Zhao Shi looked at him like that. If something really happened in this place, in his own village, on his own territory, it would be a huge loss of face. Not only would he lose face in front of Zhao Dahai, but people in the entire village and even in the surrounding towns who heard about this would feel that he was a coward. Not only had he lost face, but Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong had also lost face for their entire family.

This is not a small matter, but a big matter.

Life is just a face.

"How do I know what's going on?"

Zhao Shi took a deep puff of the hookah in his hand.

This matter is not to cause trouble for Shi Guangming on purpose, and it is not to say that if something goes wrong here, it is Shi Guangming's fault. But the fact is that as long as there is any problem here at the fish farm, Shi Guangming really has no face to see anyone.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"We still don't know what's going on here! There's no need to be so anxious, let alone worried. We just need to be extremely alert."

"I think the most likely possibility is that they think they can catch fish here, so they stay here and try to find out what kind of place they can catch fish. Or they want to give it a try to see if there is a chance to catch the fish that escape from our fish farm."

Seeing that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were a little anxious, Ding Xiaoxiang immediately waved her hands. This matter definitely required great attention, but there was no need to rush into it, and there was no need to think that this matter was very serious. In her opinion, this matter was not that serious.

"There are a lot of fish here that are very valuable, but we have so many people here. If there are people watching over it 24 hours a day, nothing will happen."

"Grandpa Shi."

"This place is Shijiao Village, it's our territory."

"We have made enough money that other people know we are not easy to mess with, even if they are blind."

Ding Xiaoxiang is not really blindly confident, this is actually the case.

There are so many people guarding here 24 hours a day. The most important thing is that Zhao Dahai and I have made a lot of money, and Shi Guangming and others are not paupers. Only people with a problem in their brains would come to the fish farm to cause trouble.

I really am more inclined to think that these speedboats or fishing boats around here think that they can catch fish in this place, and they can even catch big sea bass or grouper that escape from their own fish farms. These people are crazy about making money.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming slowly calmed down.

"Ding Xiaoxiang is right. This matter may not be as complicated as we thought. No one really wants to steal the fish from our fish farm. Or maybe they have some other ideas."

Shi Guangming thought about it carefully and felt that what Ding Xiaoxiang said made sense.

No matter who you are, if you want to do something like this, you really have to think carefully.

He and Zhao Dahai are definitely not easy to deal with. The people on the surrounding speedboats or fishing boats have to think carefully before they start any crooked plans.

On the contrary, it is very possible that the people Ding Xiaoxiang mentioned stayed in this place to see if there was a chance to catch the big grouper or sea bass that escaped from the fish pond.

Anyone who has fishing experience knows that once a large sea bass or grouper runs out of the fish raft, it basically won't run to other places, but will definitely stay near the fish platform.

A fishing expert like Zhao Dahai would certainly not be interested in just one or two fish, but the people around him don't think so. If they could catch a sea bass weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, or even a grouper weighing ten or eight kilograms, they could cover the cost of food and vegetables for the day and make a small profit.

If the people on the surrounding speedboats or fishing boats are really just guarding this place to see if they can catch any big fish, then there would be no problem.

"We'll just take a look here in the next few days to see what's going on."

Zhao Shi thought about it carefully for a while and felt that what Ding Xiaoxiang said made a lot of sense. The fact was most likely just like this. Many things were not that complicated.

It is still impossible to determine what the situation is like at this moment. I will be staying in this place for the next few days.

Ding Xiaoxiang had other things to do, so she left the fish raft without staying there for long.

"Old man Shi."

"What do you think? What is the purpose of these people on these fishing boats or speedboats staying in this place?"

“Is it really just fishing?”

Zhao Shi took several deep puffs from the hookah in his hand, and all the thick smoke came out at once. What Ding Xiaoxiang said just now did make sense, but he couldn't take it lightly. He had to think carefully about what these people wanted to do.

“It’s really hard to say about this matter.”

"We should really keep a close eye on them these days to see what they are trying to do. I think we should wait for two days or even tomorrow. If there are a lot of speedboats or fishing boats coming here, we don't need to be polite with them. We can just go over and ask them what they are trying to do."

Shi Guangming looked at the people on the fishing boats around him. Each of them was fishing seriously, but almost an hour had passed and no one had caught any fish.

If they live like this for a whole day, they won't even have enough money to eat. It's really a bit unreasonable for these people to stay in this place forever.

"Row!"

"If there are a lot of speedboats here tomorrow, we don't need to be polite with them. We can just go over and ask them what they want to do."

Zhao Shi thought this was a good idea.

Go up to them directly. One reason is to ask them directly what they want to do. Even if they are not telling the truth, they can know that they, Shi Guangming, or Zhao Dahai are all watching them, so they have to think carefully before doing anything.

"There are too many fish in the fish farm. The most important thing is that there are too many big fish here. These fishermen must have their eyes on it. They all think that big fish will come out of the fish farm sooner or later."

"But it's not surprising. You know, we have groupers weighing dozens of kilograms or even more than a hundred kilograms here."

"If you can catch a fish of this size, you won't have to work for a month or even several months."

Shi Guangming knew that Zhao Dahai was famous for fishing. Many people knew that Zhao Dahai had caught many big fish. Now a fish farm was built here. The fish farm must be full of big fish. Another important thing was that Wu Weimin and Liu Lei often came here to buy fish. It was impossible for them not to know that the fish were pulled out of the fish farm. Many people saw it. When the fishermen saw that there were so many fish, they must have all kinds of thoughts in their minds.

Don't think that Zhao Dahai can catch so many fish every time he goes out to sea. Many people can't catch many fish when they go out to sea. If you stay in this place, you may have a chance to catch a sea bass weighing dozens of kilograms, or a grouper weighing dozens of kilograms. That's no joke.

The cost of fishing in such a close place is actually very low. Once you catch a fish, you can make a lot of money. In other words, for these people, catching a fish like this is really a big profit.

Even if you spend eight or ten days to catch a fish like this, you will feel that it is well worth it and very cost-effective.

Zhao Dahai or other people who can catch fish in other places look down on such fish and will not spend so much time guarding this place, but there are many people who are willing to do such a thing.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Who doesn't know that a grouper weighing several dozen kilograms, or even a sea bass weighing 20 to 30 kilograms, is valuable?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang or the rest of us, are we not smart enough? How could we let a fish like this get away?"

“These people really think too much!”

Zhao Shi just shook his head.

What Shi Guangming said makes a lot of sense.

The speedboats around here are most likely thinking the same way, which is why they have spent so much time staying here. They just want to take a gamble, even if it means waiting for ten days or half a month to see if they can catch a big fish.

But this is absolutely impossible.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Zhao Dahai and others knew very well how big the fish in the fish fillets were and how valuable they were.

It’s not that no fish can escape, but it is definitely impossible for one fish after another to escape.

It is really extremely difficult for these people to catch fish.
