Chapter 320: God will punish you
Chapter 320: God will punish you
"Achang!" Boss Zhou shouted with a sullen face, "Hurry up and work!"
"Oh!" Zhou Achang glanced at Li Changle, raised the landing net to the deck angrily, and complained in a low voice, "I think big brother has been scared by what happened in the Zhao family."
The boatman beside him whispered, "The boss said that you are not allowed to contact those people again, otherwise you will end up like the Zhao brothers sooner or later."
"I know. I've told you this a hundred times." Zhou Achang responded impatiently, poured out the catch and continued to work.
When Boss Zhou saw him start to work, he turned around and clasped his fists towards Li Changle with an apologetic look on his face, "Boss Ale, it's my Achang who is wrong in this matter, don't bother with him!"
Since Boss Zhou had said so, Li Changle stopped nagging and said with a faint smile: "Okay! Okay!"
Seeing this, Father Li and Brother Li II also continued to work.
Li Changle poured the fish in the scoop net onto the deck and glanced at Boss Zhou who was busy pulling the net not far away.
In fact, he used to admire Boss Zhou very much. He thought that he was a real capable man, as he raised three younger brothers alone when he was only a teenager after his parents passed away and built such a big family business.
But after the boat purchase, he felt that this man's behavior was inconsistent with his honest personality. Coupled with what happened to Chen Amao last night, he always felt that this man was not as simple as he seemed.
It could also be that he watched too many TV dramas and thought too much.
At least from what happened just now, it seems that Boss Zhou doesn't want to make enemies with them. No matter whether it is simple or not, as long as they don't interfere with each other, it's fine.
"Brother!" Chen Yongwei pointed at the meter-long Spanish mackerel on the deck and smiled proudly, "Look, it's better to cast the net. We caught another big one."
"Who said that? I'll catch a big one for you to see!"
Li Changle picked up the scoop net, looked underwater, aimed at the black shadow and scooped over its head. The black shadow swung its tail and caught nothing. Fortunately, there were many fish in the water, so the net was still heavy when he lifted it.
After dumping the catch onto the deck, we discovered that we had a pretty good harvest. Among the net of swordfish, there were also two golden pomfret as big as a palm leaf fan.
Most of the body of the golden pomfret is silver, and the belly and fins are golden yellow. They are generally larger than the silver pomfret. Because the meat is not as tender as the silver pomfret, the price is much cheaper. Such a large one can be bought for 20 cents per pound.
"Ahahaha! We caught a tuna weighing over 100 pounds!"
Cheers erupted from the fishing boat in front. Li Changle turned his head and saw two people holding a tuna over one meter long together, dancing with joy.
Li Changle looked at the scoop net in his hand, which didn't seem to be so delicious anymore, so he prepared to use another net. If that didn't work, he might as well use a big one to catch a big fish.
He lowered his head to check the water surface, and when he saw a dark shadow underwater, he acted quickly and caught the big fish's head with the net. The water splashed high when the big fish struggled, and almost dragged him into the sea.
"Oh shit, there's a big shipment coming, Awei, come and give me a hand!"
"Here it comes!" Chen Yongwei quickly let go of the fishing net and went over to help grab the iron ring. Seeing the big fish with its tail sticking out of the net bag, he grinned happily, "Great, brother. You can catch a big fish even with your hands."
Li Changle was also very happy. "I told you, I showed you a link online, but you still didn't believe it!"
"Oh my! They're bluefin!" Chen Amao stretched his neck, "This net is worth at least a hundred dollars."
Li Changle gave him a thumbs up, "Boss Chen has a really good eye!"
Several people here were so happy that they almost set off firecrackers. Zhou Achang looked at the sardines he had caught with the scoop net, his face as dark as a typhoon day.
He glanced at Boss Zhou, but didn't dare to go over and cause trouble. He spat angrily, "Blind thief God, I bought so many bowls to offer to you in vain."
On the opposite fishing boat, Li Changle and Chen Yongwei were looking smug. They carried the big fish over to Li's father to have it bled, then came back with the scoop net to continue working.
"Look! A sea monster!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
Li Changle turned his head and saw an extremely huge great white shark, with its bloody mouth full of steel knives, chasing a group of sharp-mouthed sharks.
The big ones with pointed beaks were five or six meters long, and the small ones were two or three meters long. They fled in all directions under the pursuit of the great white shark.
The fishing boats nearby were eager to catch the big fish. With so many big fish, it would be rich if they could catch a few with one net.
When Li Changle saw the great white shark and the group of sharp-nosed sharks, he hurried to the cab and asked Brother Li Er to speed up and avoid them, for fear that they would be affected by the disaster in the fish pond.
Seeing them speeding up to avoid the boat, Chen Amao also asked the boatman to speed up, and some boats also sped up and left.
However, a few large ships saw this as a rare opportunity and picked up their fishing nets to target those sharp-billed fish.
When Zhou Achang saw several large swordfish fleeing towards this side in panic, his eyes lit up.
He grabbed the fishing net from the boatman, stood firm, and cast it towards the big fish. When he saw the big fish caught in the net, he grinned happily and shouted to the boatman, "Hurry up and help pull the net."
Seeing this, the two boatmen happily stepped forward to help pull the net. The marlin caught in the net struggled wildly, splashing water high up, and several people's heads and faces were covered with salty sea water.
The big fish was still in the water, struggling even harder. Zhou Achang stumbled and nearly fell into the sea.
He shouted at the boatman in shock and anger: "Damn it, didn't you eat?"
"We tried hard, but the fish was too big for three people to pull it."
Hearing the noise, those who had not cast their nets stretched their necks to watch them pull the nets, and occasionally made a few comments.
We have been working non-stop since we discovered the school of fish and are already exhausted. Now we can have some fun.
As they watched intently, holding cigarettes in their mouths, Li Changle suddenly saw a large pointed mouth leaping out of the water three or four meters high.
After falling, it was like sitting on a surfboard, and it rushed out several meters away with a few dives. "Fuck, this speed!" Li Changle exclaimed, "Brother, you are running around with a gun, something bad is going to happen!"
"Oh my God, it's a great white shark hunting the marlin." Brother Li pointed underwater and saw the great white shark chasing from behind dive into the dark deep sea. The huge black shadow swept towards the fleeing marlin.
Father Li looked at the fishing boats that were still fishing and shook his head, "These people are simply more concerned about money than their lives."
"It's bad! It's bad!" Brother Li pointed at the big sharp mouth and shouted to the boats that were fishing for big fish, "Get out of the way! The big fish is chasing us. Everyone, get out of the way!"
"Achang, get out of the way!" Boss Zhou shouted hoarsely.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhou Achang at the same time, and saw that the big sharp-mouthed fish tumbled several times in succession, and in a panic, dived headfirst into Zhou Achang's boat.
The people on the boat were stunned and didn't even notice that the net in their hands had fallen.
Li Changle and the others were stunned. "Tsk tsk, the bitch will be punished one day. It's absolutely true!"
"Brother, they must have had a grudge against each other in their previous life!" Chen Yongwei suddenly said.
"possible!"
The big pointed-mouthed fish swung its spear, flapped its tail fin, and poked at the fishing boat. The other fishing boats were so scared that they fled faster, fearing that another big fish would jump onto their boat.
Some people shouted out their suggestions, "Hurry up and get the fishing net to catch it."
"Being caught in a net is even worse. Stay away and wait for it to jump into the water."
"Goodness, it's a metal boat. If it was a wooden boat, it would have had several big holes poked in it."
Boss Zhou shouted anxiously: "Achang, run to the cab!"
Zhou Achang and the two boatmen came to their senses after hearing the shouting and hurriedly ran towards the cab.
In a panic, he tripped over the scoop net thrown on the deck and fell to the deck with a bang. The sharp mouth of the fish rushed over and pierced his shoulder. The big fish jumped non-stop and the hull shook violently.
"Brother~" Zhou Achang screamed in pain.
"Ah..." Boss Zhou's face turned pale with fear and he couldn't even speak out of fear.
Father Li shouted at them, "The four of you hurry up and hold down the marlin and rescue the people."
"Achang!" Boss Zhou found his voice again, tears of heartache came out, "What are you guys standing there for? Come and help!"
He turned around and shouted to the boatman to steer the fishing boat closer to that side.
Several boatmen huddled together and dared not move forward, fearing that they would be swept into the sea by the fish's tail and become food for the fish.
Chen Amao shouted out his advice, "Achang, bear with it for a while and grab its long mouth! Everyone else, hurry up and grab the sticks to catch the fish."
Two boatmen picked up wooden sticks and started beating the marlin. The other two boatmen hurriedly grabbed him and rescued him from the marlin's sharp jaws. Blood immediately gushed out like a fountain.
Zhou Achang screamed, tilted his head and fainted.
"Achang!" Boss Zhou jumped onto Zhou Achang's boat, picked him up and checked him. Seeing that he had just fainted, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly checked his wound.
He saw a big hole in the socket of his right shoulder caused by the sharp upper jaw of the tuna, and blood was gushing out. He hurriedly covered the wound, picked up Zhou Achang and ran towards the cabin, calling on the boatman to sail back as he ran.
When the other fishing boats saw them leave, they shook their heads, sighed, and continued fishing.
Chen Amao sighed, "Brother Zhou Achang and his friends are really blessed to have a big brother like Boss Zhou in their previous life."
Father Li took over the conversation, "They say that Boss Zhou treats his brothers well. Today I see that he treats his younger brother almost like his own son."
"Of course not! When his parents left, Zhou Achang was only four or five years old, right? The Zhou family elders asked him to give the two younger brothers away, but he refused. He raised his three younger brothers by himself and helped the second and third oldest to get married."
Chen Amao glanced at Li Changle and said, "The older ones are all good people. Zhou Achang has the worst reputation in the village. Everyone doesn't bother with him for the sake of the older ones."
"Boss Zhou is the one with real talent!"
"Boss Zhou is quite capable!" Chen Amao said with a smile, "Many people in our village said that when Boss Zhou was fishing in the sea, he got a box of large yellow croakers. I don't know if it's true or not."
Father Li thought of Li Changle's discovery of the sunken ship and said, "Who cares? Whether it's true or not, it's just his luck."
"Uncle is right. That's just their luck. We just need to catch more fish and sell them for money."
Li Changle nodded and waved to Chen Amao, "Get to work! Cows and horses!"
"Bulls and horses!" Chen Amao laughed. "That's right. We really are a bunch of bulls and horses!"
The fishing boats followed the school of fish farther and farther away. Some of them turned around and returned halfway because they did not have enough diesel. After the nets were cleared, the remaining fishing boats began to drag the nets.
Before we knew it, the sun had already set, the schools of fish gradually dispersed, and one fishing boat after another stopped to repair and prepare to return home.
