"Isn't that capitalism? I am an honest fisherman. I have to go through wind and rain every day. How can I wait at home for workers to work for me."

"That's true."

"Gone."

He led a group of people to board the nearest ship that was about to go to sea, and asked people to take them to the Dongsheng at sea.

Although it was rented out, no one would refuse it as a convenience, which also saved them from taking other boats to row to the middle of the sea.

The sea breeze blows even cooler at night. It has rained several times this month. Now that we have entered November, the temperature has dropped even lower. There is a sea breeze blowing from the sea, and the temperature is lower than that on land.

Ye Yaodong even put on a sweater and a coat to block the wind at night, so he didn't feel so cold.

He thought that next time he went to sea, he might have to wear a woolen hat and gloves.

"Dad, you can drive in the middle of the night. I will take over for you at dawn."

Father Ye checked the time, walked out from home to the pier, got on the boat and drove the fishing boat out. In such a short time, it was almost 3 o'clock.

"Okay, then go back to the cabin."

It wasn't long before dawn, so there was no way to sleep in the cabin in such a short time, so it was better to sail.

After all, I had just gotten out of bed and had a good sleep, and I was in good spirits. It would be better to stay up until dawn before going to sleep, rather than sleeping for two hours and then taking over for most of the day.

Ye Yaodong and the boatmen all stayed in the cabin with their eyes closed and rested until dawn before getting up to take over the shift.

At this time, they had not sailed into the sea area where they had trawled before, and the depth under the seabed was estimated to be not enough. After he took over, he continued to sail towards the East China Sea quickly and with all his strength.

It wasn't until after 6 o'clock that he asked someone to prepare to launch the net, while he watched from the helm.

The roaring sea breeze blew his hair up, exposing his forehead. He calculated in his mind that he had not trawled since July, and it has been almost 4 months since then.

It did take a long time, and I almost lost my old career.

Seeing the boatman lowering the net, he went to the cockpit to take out the telescope, put it on, and looked into the distance.

The sea surface was undulating, and the fishing boats were swaying along with it. The seabirds in the distance were scattered about the water or flying high in the air. They were not very concentrated. It seemed that there was nothing different about the surrounding sea surface.

The fishing boat moved forward slowly, operating at a constant speed of 3 to 5 nautical miles per hour.

At the end of the whole day, the results were mediocre, not great but not bad either.

Most of the groceries were taken up, and half of them were swimming crabs. He picked some big and fat ones and kept them to eat, while throwing the rest to the sea.

The crabs are plentiful and plump in November. It’s a pity that they don’t have anyone on board who can make crab paste sauce. Otherwise, they could dig up a lot of crab paste in their spare time. If they can’t bring back live crabs, at least they still have crab paste. Now they can only

All wasted.

However, now that they have just been fished out, the crabs are still active, and throwing them back into the sea can help them ovulate.

He and his father have been working shifts to ensure their respective rest periods.

Everything went smoothly for the first four days, but on the fifth day they felt that the sky had become cloudy and the waves had become a little bigger. At night, the broadcast on the maritime radio station was also playing in a loop, saying that there was another wave.

A typhoon formed.

Sometimes when they are bored at sea, they also listen to the radio and must listen to the weather forecast every night.

At this time, Ye Yaodong frowned when he heard that another typhoon was forming. No wonder he felt that the sky was a little gloomy in the afternoon, even though the sun was still shining brightly in the morning.

There are still typhoons in November, but the frequency is relatively low. Today is still early November.

The origin of the typhoon is close to the equator, which is still very hot at this time.

Even in December, conditions can be provided for the formation of typhoons, and typhoons may occur throughout the year in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea.

In China, the time range for typhoon landfall is also very wide. Except for January to March, when no typhoon makes landfall, typhoons may landfall in other months.

However, the most frequent months are July, August and Nineties, because in these months the people can particularly clearly feel the power of the passing typhoon, while at other times they may not feel it at all, and the typhoon will pass.

Major typhoons also tend to occur during these months.

It's just that they are currently in the open sea. Even if it is a small typhoon, their feelings on the sea are very clear. At this time, the sun may be shining brightly on the land and they have no feeling, but they are very likely to withstand the storm of the typhoon at sea.

Ye Yaodong heard the announcement that another typhoon was forming. He quickly walked out of the cockpit and shouted to the boatmen sitting below chatting, "Go and wake up the boatmen in the cabin. Don't sleep. There is a typhoon forming. We have to go back quickly."

Everyone immediately panicked and ran into the cabin to call for help.

A typhoon is coming, so of course you have to stay awake and not hide in the cabin to sleep.

Fortunately, he heard the broadcast in time. The typhoon has not yet come, and the waves on the sea are just a little bigger, so there is no real impact. It will not be a big problem to go back early.

When everyone in the cabin ran out in disheveled clothes, he shouted again and asked them to prepare to raise the net.

It's been 4 days since I left this trip, so it's not a bad idea to go back now.

Father Ye had already climbed up to the helm tower before he had even put on his clothes, his hands still stuffed into the cuffs of his sweater.

"Why is there a typhoon? It's already so cold."

"It's starting to get cold here. The temperature in the south probably hasn't cooled down yet. It's normal to have a typhoon. It's only November 6th. I'm going to sail back right now. I don't know when this damn weather forecast was detected.

It will only be played in the evening.”

"I just said that in the afternoon, the sky suddenly became overcast today. I thought it was raining. If it rains lightly or moderately, we are not afraid. We can just return according to the situation. I didn't expect it to be a typhoon. This is serious."

"Well, let's put down the fishing nets first before we can sail back."

Father Ye was worried and never returned to the cabin. He and Ye Yaodong stayed in the cockpit and watched together.

Of course, the boatmen below are not so worried about going back to sleep. Of course, they have to keep an eye on the sea at all times, as this is at stake for their lives.

It was probably a typhoon coming soon, and the volume was relatively large. The harvest from this net was huge, and nearly 10,000 kilograms were brought up in one net. In the past, one package of goods was about 2,000 kilograms. Today, five packages were put out. Father Ye estimated that it would be almost enough.

About 9,000~10,000 each.

A large net of goods is collected inside the fishing net. It is impossible for them to hoist all the goods up and get them to the deck. There is a fish collection bag at the bottom of the fishing net.

When it is collected, the contents of the fishing net will sink to the bottom, and the boatmen have to tighten the mouth of the fish bag, then hoist the fish bag up, untie the net mouth, and let the fish scatter on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, the fish collection bag is returned to the sea, and the contents of the fishing net are dropped into the fish collection bag at the bottom. In this way, when a bag is hung up, it is called a bag.

When the fishing net was being collected, Father Ye walked to the deck to look at it and kept counting silently. Only after all the goods in the fishing net were collected, he happily ran to the cockpit to talk to Ye Yaodong.

"In the evening, more than 7,000 kilograms of goods were collected in that net. I thought it was enough, but I didn't expect that the quantity in this net was even greater. It should be nearly 5 tons."

"About half of it is groceries. It's not as good as the 110,000 kilograms of plum fish caught in the previous net. That one really didn't have much groceries."

"That's true. There's nothing to be happy about. After all, we encountered a typhoon."

Ye Yaodong said nothing and kept staring down. After they collected all the empty fishing nets, he started to speed up.

Just as he was accelerating, huge raindrops suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the glass in front of him, blurring his vision within a few seconds.

Father Ye was also stunned by the pitter-patter raindrops.

"It's raining heavily!"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips tightly. Fortunately, they didn't look at the sea surface while sailing. They looked at the compass and the screen monitor. If they looked at the sea surface, who would know the north, south, east, and west, especially in the dark night.

The cockpit is located at a high place above the helm building mainly to better observe the sea surface and hull around the fishing boat.

After the heavy raindrops fell, the boatmen below were also a little panicked. Father Ye said again: "There are a lot of goods online. Fortunately, everyone is awake and awake. I will go down and put on my raincoat and pick through the goods with them."

Goods, please comfort me by the way."

"good."

He and Lin Xiuqing saw the raincoats in Wenzhou a few days ago. They bought two and brought them to the sea so that he and his father could wear them for work. They were a bit expensive, so he didn't buy more.

The main reason is that I don’t think it’s worth the price. I’ve experienced the cheap era, and looking at the current price, of course I can’t afford it.

I didn’t expect that it would come in handy immediately after I bought it.

Father Ye originally wanted to complain, saying that his purchase was unlucky, but he felt that now was not the time to say this, so he swallowed it back and hurried down.

Ye Yaodong drove back with all his concentration. The sky was extremely dark tonight. In the past, there were moons and stars, which made the surrounding sea seem quite bright. But now it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.

He drove for an hour and didn't even come across a single fishing boat. Their boat was the only one left on the dark sea, moving fast, and their light was the only one moving fast on the sea.

Fortunately, there was the sound of falling raindrops, otherwise it would be completely silent in the dark night. Except for the lights on the boat, there was no light around, and everyone would probably be even more panicked.

It's just that the rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. It was just a small amount at first, but it got heavier and heavier as he drove, and now it has turned into a heavy downpour.

Suddenly, waves surged up from the bow of the fishing boat, and the bow of the fishing boat tilted 45 degrees. Some of the remaining waves also rolled into the deck and smashed down. The boatmen were knocked around by the tilt of the fishing boat, and were hit by the sea water.

Once washed away, everyone was stunned and even standing was a problem.

And before everyone could slow down and stand up, another wave hit them head-on, and everyone was knocked on their backs again. Fortunately, they all instinctively opened their hands to grab everything they could, so as not to be thrown off the stern of the boat.

.

However, Ye Yaodong feels that it is not a problem if this continues. The waves at night will be more turbulent and terrifying than during the day, and in the dark, everyone's fear of the unknown will be infinitely magnified.

He thought to see if there was an island where he could temporarily dock for one night, and at least transfer the people to the island first, so that they would not all be tossed and beaten by the waves in the sea, fearful.

He temporarily left the cockpit and shouted to the people below, asking them to use flashlights to see if they could see any islands around them.

After encountering two big waves, no one was in the mood to pick up the fish scattered everywhere on the deck. At this time, everyone was concerned about whether their lives could go back.

After hearing the instructions from Ye Yaodong and others, they all quickly turned on their flashlights and shined them on the surrounding sea. They also grabbed something that could hold them in place to avoid being thrown to pieces again.

The rain continued unabated, and the waves continued to hit the fishing boats. At this time, everyone felt gloomy and looked forward to the appearance of islands around them.
To be continued...
