That thing?
Village Chief Fu narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembering the calligraphy that the leader had given to Fu Wan.
One of these two is from the next village, and the other is a complete stranger. They might have come specifically for this thing.
After all, no one in the surrounding area has ever received such an honor.
People who are morally corrupt will destroy what they cannot have.
What if they damage the leader's calligraphy and then go around saying that their village failed to protect it properly? Wouldn't they be condemned by the people?
Damn it, how dare they?
That was the glory of their Fu family village!
Thinking about it this way, even the old village chief Fu wished he could go up to Tian Yuan and give him two walking sticks.
"These two are probably after Awan's calligraphy. Zhenhua and Zhenbang, you two and the other young men take them to the ancestral hall and wait for the police to arrive!"
After giving his instructions, Village Chief Fu strode toward the village committee. He needed to have a serious talk with the police. The two men's actions were extremely heinous and they had to be severely punished!
Seeing that everyone had taken Wang the Cripple and Tian Yuan away, Ye Xiaocui went into the courtyard and walked around to check that Wangcai and the door locks were in good condition before she felt relieved.
Those two damned thieves, maybe they knew that Fu Wan found gold in the sea, and that's why she had the idea to bring it up with Mo Bao, which would also suppress some of the villagers' curiosity.
Unfortunately, Fu Wan and the others just set sail today, and even if they return, it will be at least three days later.
Seeing Ye Xiaocui's worried expression, Fu San quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I've had my men come here more often these past few days, and I guarantee no one will dare to mess with this place again."
"Besides, Wangcai is so clever that ordinary people can't get in. Those two were just arrested, so no one else should dare to approach here."
Ye Xiaocui nodded in agreement, "Alright, then thank you for your hard work."
If all else fails, she'll move to her daughter's house starting tomorrow night and help her daughter look after the house!
Fu Wan was naturally unaware of the turmoil in Fu Family Village. Around nine o'clock, the "Riding the Waves" finally caught up with the previous ships and arrived in the deep sea area.
Fu Wan took a nap, but was woken up by the ship's bell at 2 a.m. She rubbed her temples, but couldn't fall back asleep, so she simply left her cabin and walked to the deck.
Before even reaching the deck, they could hear Ye Lin and Fu Mancang chatting.
Although Fu Mancang and the others were all newcomers who had just boarded the ship, Ye Lin and they all had good personalities and started calling each other brothers after fishing for a while.
"Brother Mancang, that's a good name. Go and untie the ropes of this net later and see if you can fill the cabin."
Ye Lin was joking, and Fu Man immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Haha, don't tease me. If I'm unlucky and it ruins the net's harvest, I'll be really sorry to Awan."
"Hey, don't say such discouraging things. Wan definitely won't blame you. At most, she'll give you a beating!"
The group chatted as they pulled the net together. Fu Daniu, being strong, kept winding the hauling net rope behind them.
Upon seeing Fu Wan approaching, he quickly greeted her with a sheepish smile.
"Hello, boss!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but facepalm. "Brother Da Niu, just call me A Wan, like we did back in the village."
Fu Daniu scratched his head. His wife had previously told him that his status would be different after he boarded the ship, and that he should respect Fu Wan and not treat her like a little sister from the village.
See? I got it wrong again!
Fu Wan didn't say much to him. With a few more people on board, their movements became much faster.
As usual, Fu Qing and Fang Min dragged out the fish baskets, and in less than half an hour, a familiar, huge net was raised in front of everyone.
"Hey, Mancang, go untie the net ropes!"
"What?! Really?!"
Fu Mancang was astonished upon hearing Fu Wan's words.
Ye Lin chuckled to himself; he knew Fu Wan would do this.
"Go ahead, Hai Shun, go too. This net is too big for one person to untangle."
The shipowner has spoken, so they have no reason not to listen.
The two men immediately stepped forward. Fu Mancang and Fu Haishun exchanged a glance and shouted in unison.
"May your internet launch be auspicious!"
The people standing to the side belatedly realized what was happening and also shouted out. Only after everyone had finished saying auspicious words did Fu Mancang and Fu Haishun untie the net.
This is the first catch of the day, and everyone is eager to see how lucky they are.
With a loud splash, the fish in the net poured out, instantly piling up like a mountain of seafood on the deck.
"Wow, quite a few fish! Not bad luck!"
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow, and Ye Lin even dragged the fish basket forward to identify them.
"Red sea bream, bigeye sea bream, black sea bream, and hey, quite a few big squid!"
The net was mostly filled with small to medium-sized fish such as black sea bream and red sea bream. Red sea bream were more common, and they were fresh and quite large. At a glance, Fu Wan could tell that they were all over a pound.
There were even a few that looked like they weighed two or three pounds.
The same goes for black sea bream. In addition, there were quite a few yellowfin sea bream. Overall, the catch of this net was not bad. After all, sea bream are not cheap, especially red sea bream, whose price is comparable to that of ordinary grouper.
Not to mention there's at least a thousand pounds of sea bream here.
"Let's start sorting. Same old rules, separate by type and size. Put the ones that need to be bled in one basket, and Ah Lin and I will handle them."
The crowd responded. There were only a few stone goby fish left in the pile, but unfortunately, the trawling had been going on for too long, and they were already dead.
Fu Wan simply found a pair of scissors and cut off the poisonous thorns of the stone goat.
Ye Lin was busy picking out the larger red snapper and bleeding them one by one. These large red snapper are suitable for sashimi. Ye Lin had tried them once before. They melted in his mouth, soft, sweet and fresh, and the taste was absolutely amazing.
The cuttlefish were dead when they were dragged up, but many octopuses were still squirting ink. Fang Min found a bucket, filled it with seawater, and prepared to pick out some live ones to send into the live water tank.
After dealing with Shi Jiugong, Fu Wan's attention was drawn to a fish at her feet.
The fish's color was truly unique; its entire body was a deep sapphire blue, making it stand out among the white and red fish.
Ye Lin looked up and saw the fish in Fu Wan's hand, which made him a little curious.
"Wan, why is this fish this color? Is it edible?"
Ye Lin was worried that eating this eerie blue color would kill him.
Fu Wan laughed and handed the fish over so he could see it clearly.
"Brother Lin, this fish is a rare species. It's called the Blue Demon Fish, and not only is it edible, it tastes delicious."
The Blue Pomacentro, also known as the Blue Toothed Pomacentro, belongs to the Pomacentroidae family.
These fish are mostly small in size, but their bodies are fleshy and thick, with a length of about six to ten centimeters.
Similar to the high-flying damselfish, this fish also has a bad temper. It dares to go up and fight fish that are several times larger than itself.
What's even more fascinating is that when the Blue Devil Fish encounters danger, its entire blue body will turn black or brown to confuse the enemy and then it will run away.
Because of these characteristics, many people keep blue devil fish as ornamental fish.
