When the Rising Sun set off, there were quite a few ships docked at the pier.
When they returned, all the small wooden boats had been carried ashore.
Only a handful of motorized fishing boats remained moored there, rocking incessantly with the wind and waves.
The other missing fishing boats undoubtedly sailed to safe harbors to avoid the storm.
On the pier, several people, some holding umbrellas and others wearing raincoats, were observing the waves in the rain.
They are the owners of those fishing boats that haven't yet sailed to the harbor.
They were all quite calm and unhurried at first, but this sudden storm made them a little anxious.
But the waves were too turbulent, and they dared not take the risk, so they could only wait for the sea conditions to improve.
When they saw the Rising Sun come into view, they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Holy crap, whose ship is this? Why is it taking so long to get back?"
"They must have dragged a few more nets when they went out to collect the catch, which delayed the process."
"Why aren't you back in time for the typhoon? Still thinking about hauling nets? Are you out of your mind?"
Several people speculated and discussed it.
When they got closer and saw the ship's name printed on the bow, they were even more astonished.
"Why is it the Rising Sun? It's those two brats, Ah Ye and Ah Can!"
"A typhoon is coming soon and they're still out at sea trawling? Are these two idiots crazy?"
"If my son dares to go out to sea during a typhoon, I'll break his legs..."
"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing have both returned from the sea. I ran into them when I came out."
"Those two brats are in for a beating; they're definitely in for it..."
Feng Ye and A-Can naturally couldn't hear these words; they were still far away.
After the boat docked, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and both smiled with relief at having survived a disaster.
Now we're completely safe!
After securing the boat, they braved the rain to open the water tank and check on Emperor Star Spot's condition.
Although the fish had already turned belly up, it was fortunate that it was not dead yet, and its gills were still opening and closing.
However, he's probably not far from death.
Feng Ye and A Can fished it out, put it in a basket, and had to sell it quickly.
The fish was too long; it couldn't fit in the basket, and a large part of its tail was sticking out.
"What kind of fish is that? It's so big."
"Judging by the color, it looks like Emperor Star Spot, doesn't it?"
"Holy crap, Emperor Star Spot? Does that mean those two kids are going to make a fortune again?"
"The word 'again' is used well. They are really lucky. Every time they go out to sea, they either encounter schools of fish or catch rare and good catches..."
"Yes, ever since they got better, their luck has turned around, and there's no stopping it..."
"Why can't we have such a good opportunity?"
"Everyone knows that big ships can be hit by big storms, but you have to be brave enough to go out! I'm not capable of that, I don't dare to take the risk."
"That Emperor Star-Spotted Fish looks really big, it must weigh sixty or seventy pounds, right?"
"..."
The group of people stood together, all drawn to the Emperor Star Spotted Barrel, and began discussing it animatedly.
Their faces were full of envy, and even the words they spoke had a sour taste in them.
Feng Ye and A-Can heard them, but they didn't take it seriously and were too lazy to pay attention to them. They carried the fish ashore and headed towards Feng's shop.
"You've struck it rich again! This Emperor Star Spot is a rare and precious find."
"Yes, this fish is so big, it can definitely sell for a lot of money."
"You guys are really brave. A typhoon is coming and you still dare to go out to sea. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"Where was such a large emperor star spot brought from?"
"Yeah, tell me about it..."
A few people joined in the fun, following Feng Ye and A-Can, talking as they walked.
Neither of them paid any attention to them and remained silent.
Feng Jiafa's purchasing point was still open. He was sitting in the shop waiting for the rain to stop, and after seeing that, he waited at the door.
"Good heavens, such a huge Emperor Star Spot! You guys caught it?"
He stared at it with shining eyes, and said something unconsciously.
"Uncle Fa, isn't that obvious? Who else could it be if not us who caught it?"
Ah-chan retorted irritably.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiafa was not angry; instead, he laughed even more heartily.
"Haha, you little rascal, can't you be a little more polite? But this Emperor Star Spot is indeed a good product, you guys really made a killing this time."
"Then you'll have to give me a good price, Uncle Fa."
Feng Ye wiped the rain from his forehead and said with a smile.
"No problem, no problem, I'll definitely help you get a good price."
"Okay, let's get this sorted out first. We'll talk about the cargo on the ship later."
"You still have stock? You guys are really something, you're really brave to go out in such big waves, it's too dangerous."
Feng Jiafa then added with concern, "Don't be so reckless next time. I don't want to hear about you sinking at sea. I'm hoping to get more of your goods."
"This once is enough; we wouldn't dare have a next time."
Thinking back on the return journey, Ah-Can was still shaken; he would never dare to take such a risk to go out to sea again.
Feng Ye was alright, but he didn't dare to do it until he got a better and bigger ship.
This time we were lucky that the Rising Sun didn't fall apart, but it might not be the same next time.
This is, after all, a second-hand ship.
Moreover, the boat is a bit small and not very resistant to wind and waves.
"Uncle Fa, stop arguing at the door and hurry up and get us weighed. We're all soaking wet, let's get this done quickly so we can go back and change."
