After paying the bill, Feng Ye and A Can immediately made their escape.
Despite the murmurs behind them, the two paid no attention, as if the noise had nothing to do with them.
When they reached the dock, Feng Ye suddenly stopped and said to A-Can, "Wait a minute, there are still six little green dragons left in the live water tank. Take two of them back with you."
"Huh? Brother Ye, you kept the little green dragon again?"
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can's face showed a surprised expression.
Feng Ye fished all the baby arowanas out of the live water tank; he really didn't know they hadn't all been sold.
Feng Ye curled his lip and said nonchalantly, "What's so special about the little green dragon? If we hadn't only caught a few sea cucumbers, I would have kept them."
Sea cucumbers, like abalone, have little flavor on their own; their flavor depends entirely on the chef's cooking skills.
However, he wasn't doing it to satisfy his appetite.
He was drawn to sea cucumbers because of their kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac effects.
Although he is still young, he wants to take care of himself.
Men should be prepared for the future; it's too late to fix things after the fact.
Ah-Can laughed and said, "If we catch a lot tomorrow, we can keep some for ourselves. I'd like to make up for it too."
"What else do you need to supplement, you virgin? Are you going to rub your head against the bed every night?"
Feng Ye patted him on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Young man, take it easy, don't wait until you're old to regret it."
Ah-Can understood, and was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He knew Feng Ye was joking, but he couldn't help but retort, "What are you talking about? I've been so tired from being at sea all this time, can't I even take a break?"
Feng Ye laughed and said, "Okay, of course. I'll save you a few more tomorrow so you can have some good nutrition."
As he spoke, Feng Ye used a scoop net to scoop out the six small green dragons one by one from the live water tank.
These little green dragons struggled in the net, emitting faint hissing sounds, as if expressing their unwillingness to accept their fate.
Ah Can happily accepted the two fish that Feng Ye gave him and carefully placed them into the prepared bucket that had already been filled with seawater.
Afterwards, the two split the bill for the day.
Today's harvest was quite fruitful; Ah-Can received 700 yuan.
Although Feng Xuan wasn't on the ship, he still received his share of 700 yuan, which he would give to his sister-in-law, Du Guilan, when he got back.
Both of them were very satisfied with what they had accomplished that day.
After dividing the bill, the two walked together into the village, chatting and laughing.
After traveling together for a while, the two parted ways and went their separate ways home.
When Feng Ye returned home, he found the front door tightly shut, the house quiet and deserted, with not a soul in sight, not even Ye Qingling and Feng Xinan.
A sense of doubt arose in his mind, but fortunately he had brought his key and was able to enter the house smoothly.
After putting down the bucket containing the little green dragon, I took a bath to wash away the salt and fatigue.
After taking a shower, Feng Ye felt a little better, but the house was still empty.
He lit a cigarette, wanting to relax a bit, and then go inside to lie down for a while.
However, just as he took a puff of his cigarette, Ah-Can ran into the yard, panting.
"Brother Ye, let's go see what's going on!" Ah Can shouted excitedly.
"What's all the commotion about?" Feng Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Old Liu was arrested this afternoon, and there's a huge commotion at his house right now."
"Huh?" Feng Ye was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, jumped up and rushed outside the door, "Wait for me, I'm locking the door."
No wonder there was no one at home and not many people at the dock; they had all gone to watch the excitement.
Since he reported the case to the police station, so many days have passed, and the police have not taken any action.
He almost thought that the police hadn't filed a case, and that Old Liu and his son had escaped unscathed.
Feng Ye quickly locked the door and headed towards Lao Liu's house with A Can.
Along the way, they encountered many villagers from the same village, all of whom were heading in that direction with excited expressions, talking as they walked.
These people were probably like them, having just heard the news and rushed over to see what was going on.
Joining in the fun is in the nature of Chinese people.
What's more, it's such a big deal that the police came to the house and arrested the person.
How could one not watch such a spectacle?
Before long, we arrived at Old Liu's house. The yard was already packed with people, three or four layers deep, so crowded that it was impossible to move.
Feng Ye and A-Can struggled to squeeze in.
The house was also bustling with activity, as a group of villagers were moving things around.
Some were moving televisions, some were carrying tape recorders, some were carrying bicycles, and some were moving tables and chairs...
Even pots and pans were taken by people.
Anything of value will attract several people vying for it, sometimes even leading to near-fights.
Feng Ye and A Can stood in the crowd, watching this scene unfold, their hearts unmoved.
These were villagers who believed the lies of Lao Liu and his son and were ultimately deceived.
They usually lived frugally, and the little savings they had painstakingly accumulated were all invested in the so-called "investments" of Lao Liu and his son, hoping to earn some dividends and make their lives a little better.
However, today I discovered that my hard-earned money has gone down the drain. How can I not be angry?
So they all went to Lao Liu's house, wanting an explanation and to get their losses back.
After Lao Liu was taken away by the police, only his wife was left at home.
Of course, inside the house at this time were also Lao Liu's eldest son and his family, who had already married and moved out, as well as some close relatives.
Old Liu's wife collapsed to the ground, pounding her fists and wailing, "Everyone, don't grab it! Put the things down! My husband isn't handcuffed, he wasn't arrested..."
