The weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant.
The return trip was fine, but as it was getting dark, a strong wind started to pick up.
And this wind has been blowing for three days straight.
It was two days later when the storm finally subsided.
Having not gone out to sea for five days, Feng Ye wasn't worried at all and comfortably stayed at home for a few days.
Ah-chan, on the other hand, was anxious because he was thinking about the purpose of that ship. He was as impatient as an ant on a hot pan, hoping to set sail as soon as possible.
Sure enough, as soon as the waves calmed down, he couldn't wait to drag Feng Ye out to sea.
Once in the fishing area, the trawl nets were slowly lowered into the sea, like hungry beasts, their jaws agape, waiting for their prey to enter.
The Rising Sun ship moved forward at a steady and slow pace on the sea, beginning a new day of operations.
After setting the net, Feng Ye stood at the stern of the boat, looking up at the dark sky.
The sky was filled with stars, like countless diamonds set in the deep night.
The nearly full moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow that made the sea surface shimmer.
Today is the 14th, and in two more days, he will be able to move into his new home.
I've already bought everything I needed during my few days of rest here.
All that's left is to move my things in the day after tomorrow, and then I can start my new life.
Imagining what it would be like to move into her new home, Feng Ye was filled with anticipation.
The sea breeze was a bit chilly, and he couldn't stand it for long.
Just as he was about to go to the cockpit to take shelter from the wind, he suddenly noticed a light on the distant sea.
His attention was immediately drawn.
What else could be the lights on the sea but ships?
He suddenly remembered the ship that had docked near the deserted island a few days ago, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could this be the one?"
He had actually noticed that Ah-chan was heading towards the deserted island a long time ago, but he did not stop him.
He was also curious whether the group of people, who were most likely from Longtail Island, were still on the island after several days of strong winds.
It seems they have gone back.
I guess they didn't dare to risk going out in those few days, and only set sail today.
I wonder what they were doing on that island.
He turned around and shouted into the wheelhouse, "Ah Chan, a boat is coming. Turn off your headlights."
They've been in this area for so long, they know it all too well.
They know exactly where the reefs are, where the water is too shallow, and where the islands are, so they can navigate even without lights.
Moreover, the moonlight is so bright tonight.
"Oh, okay."
Ah-chan turned off the headlamp he was wearing and curiously looked back at the light in the night.
The ship was moving very fast and soon sped past the left side of the Rising Sun.
It's too far away; you can only see the lights, not even the shadow of the boat.
If it were someone inexperienced and unaware of the situation, they might mistake it for a will-o'-the-wisp.
"It must be that boat from Longtail Island from a few days ago, right?"
Ah-Can turned around and asked Feng Ye, who had returned to the driver's seat.
"It should be. It looks like they're going to that island again."
Feng Ye nodded, his gaze still fixed on the lights that were gradually fading into the distance.
"Shall we chase after them and see?"
"Okay, but don't get too close. It's best if we don't get spotted."
"I know."
Ah-Can sped up a bit and caught up.
They say curiosity killed the cat, but insatiable curiosity can also make people restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Before long, the dark island came into view in the night.
The boat stopped, its dim lights swaying gently with the waves.
There were also eight or nine dimmer lights flickering, seemingly disembarking and moving toward the island.
Ah-Can exclaimed, "It really was them, and they even came to the island in the dark with flashlights!"
"No mistake, the other day we only saw the boat docked at the shore, but no one. Judging from the number of lights, there were at least eight or nine people."
Feng Ye paused for a moment, then said, "It should be the same boat that chased us that day."
"I think so too."
Ah-Can immediately became concerned again, saying, "But what are they going up there for? Could there really be treasure on that island?"
"Who knows?"
Feng Ye chuckled lightly, "However, one thing is certain: they didn't go on vacation to the island."
"You're hilarious, a vacation? How could you even think of that?"
"Forget about it for now, stop staring at them. Focus on navigating the boat; there are several protruding reefs around here, be careful not to run aground."
"Here you go."
Ah-Can pointed and said, "Those dark-skinned guys over there are still quite a distance away."
"But we can't be careless. Better safe than sorry. Don't circle around here. Drive further away and turn on your lights, just to be safe."
"knew."
In the short time they were talking, the beams of light on the island stopped lingering around the edge of the island and started moving towards it, disappearing quickly.
Clearly, they've disappeared into the bushes.
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
Something unusual must be going on!
This group was very purposeful; they went straight to the center of the island as soon as they arrived at their destination.
What exactly are they looking for?
Could it be that they guessed right, and there really is pirate treasure on this island?
He had no interest in those unknown pirate treasures and didn't want to bother searching for them.
But if it could be confirmed that there was treasure up there, things would be different, and that would pique his interest.
Although those items are hard to sell and the prices aren't good right now, keeping them as collectibles is still a good idea.
The problem is that this cannot be confirmed; it is merely their speculation.
Moreover, the enemy outnumbers us, so going to the island to scout is not very realistic; it's too dangerous.
It's true that there are guns on board the Rising Sun, but it's not easy to show them off. You can't just shoot everyone, can you?
Although those people weren't good people, they were still human beings after all.
He has no qualms about killing livestock like chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs, but he would never dare to kill a human.
Moreover, once guns are used, the situation will be irreversible, and they may not be able to escape unscathed.
Feng Ye was itching to find out what was going on.
Once curiosity is aroused, it's not so easy to extinguish.
Only when the Rising Sun had sailed further and further away and the sky was already bright did he shake his head and stop worrying about it.
The island was no longer visible, and work was about to begin again, so I had to put this matter aside for the time being.
