As the Rising Sun slowly started up, some people reluctantly returned to their own ships, preparing to sail back home.
However, a considerable number of people still choose to remain here.
After all, an abalone costs several dollars.
They were really reluctant to leave, and they wanted to poach as many people as possible.
These people will probably be busy until it's completely dark before they reluctantly embark on their journey home.
As the Rising Sun gradually sailed further away, the sky grew darker, with several fishing boats following closely behind on their return journey.
As night falls completely, countless stars twinkle across the night sky.
The faint lights of fishing boats flickered on the sea, like stars fallen to earth, reflecting the brilliance of the stars in the sky.
"Oh, what a pity! If the people from Longtail Island hadn't interfered like this, all the abalone would have been ours, enough to buy a big ship."
Ah-Can looked at the dozen or so baskets of abalone and conch in the cabin, his face showing a look of regret.
"Don't rush, take your time, the big ship will come sooner or later."
Feng Ye gently patted A-Can on the shoulder.
In fact, he himself felt a slight sense of regret deep down.
On that reef, the sheer number of abalone is astonishing; there must be at least several thousand kilograms.
If we include the scattered ones near the reefs, the total weight would definitely exceed 10,000 jin.
Unfortunately, all of these abalone have been divided up, and they didn't even manage to get a tenth of them.
They even let the people of Longtail Island get a share of the pie, stealing countless abalone.
In comparison, the five sets of diving equipment that the group lost were nothing, since the abalone that was pried off was definitely more valuable.
"Sigh, life is full of unknowns and variables. Who could have predicted that the people from Longtail Island would keep coming to cause us trouble?"
Feng Ye offered words of comfort, while also trying to console himself.
"Hehe, that's true."
Ah-Can scratched his head, and the regret on his face seemed to lessen slightly.
"We're exhausted from diving all day today. Let's rest tomorrow and go out to sea the day after tomorrow to find a deserted area to work in."
Feng Ye shook his sore arms and said.
Ah-chan nodded repeatedly, indicating his strong agreement.
A day of diving work really takes a lot of physical and mental energy, and it definitely takes some time to recover and adjust.
Several fishing boats braved the wind and waves, speeding forward.
The boat swayed slightly under the push of the waves, making soft noises from time to time.
A refreshing sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, swept over everyone's face, bringing a touch of coolness.
As time passed, the dock came into view in the distance.
Suddenly, Ah-Can pointed ahead and shouted, "Brother Ye, look over there! Isn't that Brother Xuan and the others coming back?"
Feng Ye quickly looked in the direction A-Can was pointing and vaguely saw a ship moored in the deep water outside the dock.
It was high tide, and small fishing boats could get ashore, but large boats that were 20 or 30 meters long had too deep a draft and had to moor in deep water.
Moreover, almost all the boats in the village went with them to the reef, and so far none of them have returned to shore.
Therefore, the ship in front of us must undoubtedly be one of the large ships in the village.
"Very likely." Feng Ye nodded in response.
The Harvest has been at sea for more than a week and was originally scheduled to return within two or three days.
For some reason, the voyage took much longer than expected.
Feng Ye secretly guessed: Perhaps the resources in the open sea are too good, and they are reluctant to come back.
"If it really is the Harvest Ship, then wouldn't we get to share the profits again?"
A-Can's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat excited.
Although his share is not large, once the base is large enough, it is still a considerable amount.
Feng Ye smiled slightly but did not respond to A-Can's words.
In fact, his thoughts were no different from Ah-Can's.
He also eagerly awaited the return of the Harvest, which would bring him a considerable income.
As the Rising Sun drew closer, Feng Ye and A-Can were finally able to see the large ship more clearly.
By the moonlight, just by observing its outline, the two of them were able to determine that the ship in front of them was undoubtedly the Harvest.
However, there was no one on the ship at this moment; it was quiet, and no one knew how long they had been here.
"Haha, it really is the Harvest!"
Ah-chan could no longer contain his joy and couldn't help but cheer and jump for joy, his face beaming with an unconcealable smile.
"Don't be too happy yet. We don't know how well they fared on this voyage."
Seeing this, Feng Ye smiled and deliberately poured cold water on the situation.
However, he was also really looking forward to it, hoping that the Harvest Ship would have a great haul on this voyage.
The reason is simple: it also relates to his income.
"Brother Ye, please don't dampen my spirits. Even if it's not a huge harvest, it won't be too bad, and it's still better than our little fishing boat, right?"
Ah-chan grinned, seemingly unconcerned.
"That's not necessarily true!"
As Feng Ye spoke, he glanced at the cabin out of the corner of his eye.
Ah-Can was taken aback at first, then quickly came to his senses: "That's right, even if the Harvest Ship had a good harvest, we've already pried off so many abalone today, so we might even have an even better harvest!"
He grinned from ear to ear, thinking to himself, "Only by following in Brother Ye's footsteps can I reap great rewards."
