That ship did indeed belong to Guo Changling.
They had already crossed paths several times in this area.
To be honest, Guo Changling was a really kind person.
Even though he knew perfectly well that their voyages were always very successful, far surpassing his own, he still managed to refrain from trespassing into their fishing area.
Unless you encounter a school of fish and follow the school to fish, you will not enter their operating area.
Normally, he can only be encountered occasionally at the boundary of the two sides' operating areas.
I don't know how he got here this time.
Could it be that we've encountered a school of fish?
But looking at the speed at which the ship is coming, something's not right; it's too fast.
Feng Ye had some doubts, so he threw the otter cub back into the sea and continued to pull in the net.
Once they got closer, they would naturally know Guo Changling's purpose.
Before long, Guo Changling approached.
Guo Changling himself was standing at the bow of the boat, while his wife was steering it.
The two men faced each other across the boat. Feng Ye waved and called out, "Uncle Guo, what brings you here?"
Guo Changling waved his hand, a smile on his face, and replied loudly, "I noticed your boat hadn't moved much, and I thought something had happened to you, so I came to check on you."
"Hey, what could possibly happen? We're collecting the sticky nets."
"It's all because of those bastards on Long Tail Island. They've made it impossible for us to work in peace. We have to be on guard all the time for any unfamiliar ships to appear."
"Who can argue with that? Everyone's become like a frightened bird now."
Feng Ye sighed, "To be honest, when we first saw your ship coming from afar, we were all incredibly nervous, fearing it might be a ship from Longtail Island."
Ah-chan chimed in, "Yeah, we almost abandoned the net and ran away in the boat."
"That's right. In this day and age, you have to be careful when you're out and about."
Guo Changling sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Why don't we just arrest them?"
"Catch them? It's not that easy."
Feng Ye shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
The world at sea is far more complex and varied than that on land.
The constraints of the law seem so powerless here, and the pursuit of profit drives many people to take risks.
Moreover, with people protecting Nagao Island, they became even more unscrupulous.
Guo Changling sighed, then changed the subject, asking, "How was your harvest today?"
"It's alright, but most of them are toadfish, not worth much."
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, A-Can continued, "Although we caught quite a few fish, eight or nine out of ten were toadfish. The remaining one or two were not good either, and very few of them could fetch a good price."
"Hey, you two kids, you've gotten so used to making big money that you look down on these paltry sums?"
Guo Changling jokingly remarked.
"No way, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. Although toadfish are cheap, if you have a lot of them, you can make a lot of money."
"You guys have always been lucky. Maybe one day you'll catch a good catch and make a fortune."
"Haha, Uncle Guo, thank you for your kind words."
Feng Ye responded with a smile.
But I know in my heart that good luck doesn't come every day.
There are definitely good things in the waters where they are located, but whether they can catch them is another matter.
After chatting for a while longer, Guo Changling took his leave.
"I'm relieved to see you're all alright. I won't disturb your work..."
His voice stopped abruptly as he stared in astonishment at the sea.
Feng Ye noticed this and immediately turned his gaze to the sea, whereupon he was also surprised.
On the sea between the two ships, many otters appeared.
He counted them; there were sixteen in total, and each otter had a fish in its mouth.
There were twelve adult otters and four otter pups.
I wonder if one of these four cubs is the one he just released.
This is wealth delivered right to our doorstep!
On the opposite boat, Guo Changling finally exclaimed in surprise, "So many otters! How did they suddenly appear? We're going to make a fortune!"
"If you know you can make a fortune, why aren't you grabbing it? What are you standing there like an idiot for?"
Upon hearing this, his wife's eyes gleamed with greed. She immediately jumped out of the driver's seat, urging him on.
Guo Changling immediately came to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes..."
As he spoke, he quickly ran to find tools.
"I'll go get the hand-throwing net."
Ah-chan threw down a sentence and hurriedly ran towards the cabin.
Since everything in the sea was spotted at the same time, it's naturally up to whoever catches it first; it's all about speed.
Watching the otters floating on the surface of the water, frantically munching on fish, Feng Ye waited anxiously, worried that they would dive into the water and escape.
The otter cubs were too cute and adorable, and indeed too small; he couldn't bring himself to do it.
However, he felt no qualms about catching adult otters.
As for the pretext of protecting animals, it doesn't work very well now; money is more tangible.
Ah-chan quickly returned with the hand-throwing net.
He tossed a hand-thrown net to Feng Ye, then quickly set it up himself, saying, "Quick, cast the net before they can react."
On the other side, Guo Changling reappeared on the deck with a hand-thrown net.
However, he only had one hand-thrown net, unlike the Rising Sun, which always had three.
He was the first to finish tidying up and throw it out.
Because once he got the net, he started tidying it up as he walked out.
Feng Ye and A-Can were not slow either, and soon followed suit, casting their nets out.
