Chapter 252 Bad Luck
Chapter 252 Bad Luck
Li Changle parked the tricycle, put some active oil on the dog and put it in the doghouse, then took the flashlight and quickly went to Chen Yongwei's house. When he got there, he saw that the gate was locked tightly. He went around to the back and listened for a while, but still heard no movement.
Suddenly, a flashlight flashed from the alley next to me, followed by a loud shout, "Who?"
"It's me!" Li Changle turned around and saw that it was Li Changkuan. "It's you. Why didn't you go to the show? My dog got kicked. I came to see what happened. Did you hear anything?"
Li Changkuan looked at him with a complicated expression, "My Ah Jun caught a cold, so we didn't go. I just heard Ah He's dog barking loudly, so I came out to check, and I saw you when I got here."
His brother, who had been doing much worse than him, suddenly became successful, and he felt indescribable how he felt.
People he met also asked him why he didn't work with Ale?
Even his wife and mother said to him, "They didn't want you to hang out with A Le before, but you insisted on hanging out with him. Now that A Le has become more capable, they asked you to stick with him, but you refuse to go."
He is even worse than that idiot Chen Yongwei. He has been following A Le for two months, built a new house and got a wife, and now he has caught the robbers who hijacked the ship. I wonder how many good things he will get?
Li Changle went over and handed him a cigarette, "Did you see anyone?"
Li Changkuan nodded, "It was Lai Abao and two scoundrels from other villages. Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't succeed."
Li Changle didn't expect it to be this guy. Thinking of the dog that was kicked, he said, "Damn it! Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. This bastard brought people into the village!"
Li Changkuan nodded, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I heard that your family has ordered a 20-meter-long iron boat. When will you pick it up?"
Li Changle saw his awkward look and suddenly understood why he was avoiding her. "The construction period is a bit long. The earliest it can be completed is the spring of the year after next."
Li Changkuan looked at him enviously and said, "You are the best at shipping. You have only been in the business for a short time, but you have already ordered a big ship. My family has only just replaced the diesel engine and installed the trawling net."
"It's a matter of luck, but the catch in the open sea is indeed more than that in the near sea."
"Which sea area have you been in all this time, trawling and trapping?"
"In the area around Zhushan Island."
Li Changle chatted with him for a few words and lost interest in watching the show. He went home to check on the dog and thought that animals have a good ability to recover. Only half an hour later, the dog stopped barking when he pinched its legs.
I looked around the house with a flashlight and decided to go back to Nanshan.
When he got there, he saw Father Li and Old Man Jin sitting on the dam chatting. He told them about the incident in which Da Huang was kicked by the thief Bone.
Father Li and Lao Jin cursed a few words and hurried back to the old house to guard it.
Li Changle had slept on the tractor during the day and couldn't fall asleep again. He regretted not asking his second brother Li to come back with him. With him watching over him, he could go for a stroll on the beach and buy some seafood.
I went to the room where the carpenter was working, looked at the rechargeable battery lamp, and saw that it was fully charged. I unplugged the plug, put the battery lamp away, and sat in the yard for a while.
There was neither TV nor mobile phone, and there were so many mosquitoes that I simply took a shower and went back to the house to lie down.
I closed my eyes and counted the lambs, listening to the cicadas chirping outside. In a daze, I heard the dog outside barking affectionately twice. I opened the door and saw Zhou Ruonan holding the child, returning with Brother Li and the others.
Li Xiaoyang looked at him with resentment, "Uncle San, why don't you ride a tricycle to pick us up? I can hardly walk anymore."
Before Li Changle could say anything, Mrs. Li slapped him in anger, "What do you do with your long legs? When your uncle didn't buy a tricycle, didn't you walk?
They would clamor to go to the theater before it got dark, and when they got there they would run back and forth in front of the stage, eating this and that, and trying to save money to buy pens and notebooks, all of which they would put into the trouser pockets of the vendors.
Debt collector, even Xiaomei and Xiaozhou are better behaved than you."
"...You are the most vicious one in our family!" Li Xiaoyang pouted and stomped his feet as he walked into the house.
"The younger ones are all more obedient than you. If I don't get a little fiercer, you're going to make trouble. Go wash your feet before going to bed!" Mrs. Li yelled at him.
"got it!"
Li Changle took over the eldest son carried by Brother Li, and looked at Brother Li Xiaoyang who was stomping towards the ditch with amusement, "Is it over so early?
"Not yet. We saw that Shaki Village started catching thieves halfway through the game. Anan was worried about you, so we followed them back."
"A thief broke into our house again?" Li Changle glared. "We almost had a thief break into our house today!"
"We heard it from Dad at the old house."
"The dog was almost kicked to death." Li Changle explained the situation to a few people, "If it weren't for the dog's barking, he would have probably started to pick the lock."
Unfortunately, the dog is too small and has little killing power. It seems like I have to get a big dog.
Zhou Ruonan was very thankful after hearing this, "Luckily Da Huang is at home, otherwise if the three young men were hiding at home, how could you be their opponent alone?"
Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li also nodded, "If we had known earlier, we would have come back with you. Forget it, stay at home tomorrow night and don't go to the theater."
"That's right, people are scared to death!" Mrs. Li spat in anger, "Short-lived ghost, he brought people to sneak into our village. The same goes for Lai Dajia. Why don't you take good care of Lai Abao?"
Mrs. Li Er sneered, "It's because of old lady Lai's pampering. Now that the old lady is dead, even Mrs. Lai doesn't care about him much." "Lai's wife is the same as old lady Lai." Mrs. Li hated Lai's wife the most and thought she was very good at making trouble.
Li Changle and Zhou Ruonan put the child to bed and saw that she was sweating profusely. "You always fall asleep after watching half of the game. You'd better not go tomorrow night."
"They don't go there to watch a show. They go there to eat snacks and play with other kids." Zhou Ruonan said and went to get water for the children to wash.
Li Changle closed the door and walked towards the toilet. When he was almost at the Jin family's toilet, he suddenly saw two figures, one tall and one short, slowly coming together on the side of the path ahead.
"Little Awei is really not honest at all!" Li Changle tiptoed and trotted all the way to the toilet. When he came out, he saw the two people there and was not afraid of mosquito bites.
Seeing him coming back with a smile on his face, Zhou Ruonan looked outside curiously, "You look so happy, did you see anything good?"
Li Changle laughed and said, "That boy Awei is kissing Jin Chan on the path outside!"
"..." Zhou Ruonan glared at him in reproach, "Really? Aren't you afraid of getting stye?"
Li Changle got on the bed and hugged her, "Do you remember what happened to us?"
"I don't want to bother with you!" Zhou Ruonan pinched him, "Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Changle turned off the light, hugged her and whispered in her ear: "I still remember it now. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I felt like I was drunk and dizzy. Your face was redder than a cooked prawn..."
"Hate it!" Zhou Ruonan covered his mouth embarrassedly, "If you say that again, I won't pay attention to you."
Li Changle grabbed her hand and gently scratched her palm a few times, "Wife, let's sleep on the floor."
"Dian, I told you to go to bed early."
"Let's go, wife...wife..." Li Changle whispered in her ear, "wife..."
"Really? You're like a three-year-old kid. Go grab the blanket..."
"Yes, sir!" Li Changle jumped out of bed and started to get busy.
……
The next morning, several people met at the dock. Li Changle bought ice and got on board. Chen Yongwei had already checked the engine and added oil.
Li Changle put down the box and looked at him with a smile. Chen Yongwei touched his face and said, "Brother, is there something dirty on my face?"
Li Changle came forward and said, "Little Awei, are the mosquitoes in the South Mountain biting harder or the mosquitoes at the foot of the East Mountain biting harder?"
"..." Chen Yongwei blinked a few times and suddenly reacted. His face turned dark red. He looked at him and grinned foolishly, then picked up the crank and started the engine.
As the boat sailed out of the dock, Brother Li caught up, and the two boats sped up and headed towards Zhushan Island.
"Brother, it seems that Lai Dajia's fishing boat is following us. When we came out of the dock, he also came out, and has been following us from a distance."
Li Changle stood up and saw that Brother Li was also looking back. He walked to the side of the boat and said, "Brother, why is Lai Da following us?"
"The Lai family's boat." Brother Li looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go our own way. As long as he doesn't follow me to Chuyuan Island, we don't need to worry about him."
As they were talking, the fishing boat behind them sped up and caught up. Li Changle saw Lai Lao Da standing in the driver's seat, with the bruises on his face still not fading.
Boss Lai slowed down the boat and shouted to Boss Li, "Ah Ping, everyone said that they should thank you brothers for catching those robbers, otherwise no one would dare to go out to sea."
"What is there to thank for? I can't escape now. I have no choice but to face it head on."
"Your family is really lucky. Look at your brothers, they were fine after encountering the robbers, but the second brother's hand was broken. Even if he recovers, I don't know if he can still go out to sea. I heard that your family..."
The rumor in the village was that their family had gotten a lot of good stuff. Even though they knew their brothers had been beaten by the robbers and that there were valuables on the boat, they still didn't say anything about leaving some for their family, so they could suffer less loss.
"Fuck you, ancestor!" Li Changle pointed at Lai Da and cursed, "There's nothing wrong with my family, you bastard, if you don't explain yourself clearly to me, don't go out to sea today..."
Brother Li's face suddenly darkened. "Yes, Boss Lai, what do you mean by that? What do you mean my family is fine?"
"Let him explain clearly, otherwise he won't go out to sea." Brother Li and Chen Yongwei also shouted.
It's so damn unlucky that I encountered this thing just after leaving the dock. It looks like my trip today is in vain.
Lai Lao Da didn't expect that his brothers would immediately turn hostile to him over a wrong word, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "A Le, A Ping, I'm sorry, I don't know how to talk, I mean that you brothers are very capable, I didn't say that you should be like my family..."
"Stop it, you bastard..." Li Changle was still cursing, and Lai Lao Da hurriedly drove the fishing boat in another direction.
Brother Li waved his hand at Li Changle and said, "Forget it. Everyone has run far away. You can go and take a nap."
