Perhaps because we hadn't been out to sea for five days, the fish, shrimp, and crabs had all dispersed.
The quantity of goods in this batch is unusually small; it's questionable whether it can even sell for 20 yuan.
Although Feng Ye had anticipated this, he still couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.
Ah-chan looked even more frustrated.
This was arguably the worst catch the Rising Sun had made since it set sail.
"Damn, this is all the goods we have. It's not even enough to cover the cost of fuel."
As Ah-Can tidied up the fishing net, he complained, "It's freezing cold. If it's like this every day, I might as well just stay home and sleep."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of food in the sea. If trawls won't work, we still have gillnets, don't we?"
In the fishing business, luck and weather play a big role; sometimes you just have to rely on the whims of the heavens.
"Hopefully the netting will be effective."
Ah-Can sighed, tidied up the fishing net, and went to set sail to cast the net.
They set up their nets in roughly fixed locations, and their previous harvests had been very good.
Upon arrival, the two of them lowered 30 fishing nets into the sea.
They replaced the 10 missing nets and are now setting out 30 nets a day, which is just enough to keep their days busy.
Then, the trawl net was put back into the sea to continue trawl operations.
Although the trawling harvest was not ideal, we can't just sit idly by, can we?
However, as Ah-chan drove, he ended up driving the Rising Sun near that small island again.
The two saw the boat again, still quietly moored beside the island.
Judging from where the boat is moored, it hasn't moved for the past few hours.
Looking at the fishing boats swaying by the small island, a bold idea suddenly popped into Feng Ye's mind.
So he said, "Ah Can, let's go take a look."
Ah-Can seemed surprised by this sudden suggestion: "Brother Ye, didn't you say we shouldn't get too close?"
"Times change."
Feng Ye urged, "Stop arguing, let's drive over and take a look."
"Okay."
Ah-Can had long wanted to get closer and take a look, but he hadn't dared to make any rash moves because of Feng Ye's disapproval.
Now that Feng Ye had agreed, he immediately became excited, adjusted the course, and piloted the Rising Sun straight there.
However, he still asked with some concern, "Brother Ye, what if there are people on the boat?"
"That's unlikely, so many people have already gone to the island."
Feng Ye paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if there are people left behind, it will only be one or two at most, which we can handle."
Ah-Can thought about it again and realized that what he said made sense.
If all else fails, you can immediately turn around and run away.
The other side started moving their boat, and it would take quite a while for them to reach speed, enough time for them to travel far away.
Moreover, there's a deadly weapon on board...
As the distance decreased, the outline of the ship became clearer and clearer.
This is a fishing boat that is about 25 or 26 meters long, and it looks quite new.
The deck was empty; there were no fishing nets, no catches, and no one in sight.
Only some equipment and commonly used tools were placed haphazardly.
It's obvious that this ship didn't go out to sea to fish at all.
And judging from the sign on the bow of the ship, it is indeed from Nagao Island.
The two had anticipated this and were not surprised.
Generally speaking, if a ship has markings, they are either white or black; other colors are very rare.
If the hull is painted in a dark color, the lettering is generally in white; if the hull is painted in a light color, the lettering is in black.
The boats on Nagao Island are unique in that they are red, and blood red at that.
"There's nothing here. That's strange. Could they really be here to search for treasure?"
"Very likely."
"So what do we do now? How about we go up to the island and take a look?"
"What are you thinking? Are you going up there to die?"
Feng Ye glared at A-Can, "There are at least eight or nine people on the island, none of them are good people. If we are discovered, we're doomed. We're surrounded by seawater, there's nowhere to run."
"Don't worry, we have guns."
"Guns aren't a magic bullet. Can you kill them all? And can you guarantee they didn't bring guns with them?"
"this……"
Ah-chan was speechless for a moment.
Although they had guns, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Moreover, the other party's background is also unknown.
If the other side really has guns, it would be extremely dangerous to go to the island rashly.
"So what do we do now? Just stand by and watch?"
"Of course not."
Feng Ye pointed to the boat and said, "Such a big boat is moored there, why don't we sail it away?"
That was his bold idea.
"Huh? Move the boat away?"
Ah-Can's eyes widened.
"Yes, drive it away."
Feng Ye answered confidently, "Anyway, they're not good people, so we won't feel guilty about sailing away."
"Moreover, it can also be considered as eliminating evil. Without their ships, they can no longer go out to sea to commit evil."
"Yeah, Ye-ge, that's a great idea!"
Ah-Can's eyes lit up immediately, but a trace of worry quickly flashed across them again, "But how are we going to explain sailing such a big ship back?"
"Why rush to drive it back? Couldn't you find a place to hide it first and drive it back after everything is sorted out?"
Feng Ye continued confidently, "Tomorrow happens to be high tide, so we can find a deserted island with a beach and run the boat aground."
"Then we'll set sail early tomorrow, bring some paint, repaint the boat, and paint off the markings. Then it won't be a problem to sail back."
