"The people of Zizhu Island are really united. They actually put aside fishing and came to help Tian Weiguo get revenge."
Feng Ye sighed.
"Yeah, they're not making big bucks, they're spending all their time fighting. There must be dozens of people on these eight ships."
Ah-chan also found it somewhat unbelievable.
"You are young and inexperienced. Generally, when villages are fighting each other, they are quite united against a common enemy."
Feng Jialing interrupted, speaking loudly.
"Uncle Ling is right. I've seen this kind of unity against external forces in the village when I was a child."
Feng Ye nodded in agreement.
"Really? How come I didn't know that?"
"You were still wearing open-crotch pants back then."
Ah-Can scratched his head: "Huh? Am I that young?"
“You were really young back then. Those were all things from the collective era. Our village fought with other villages quite a few times over fishing grounds and water sources.”
Feng Jialing continued, "After the household responsibility system was implemented, such things have hardly happened anymore. Everyone lives their own lives and they are not as united as before."
Ah-Can excitedly urged, "Dad, speed up! Let's get closer and see what's going on."
"Why are you getting so close? It'll be troublesome if you get involved. It's none of our business, just watch from a distance."
Feng Jialing shook his head.
However, the boat speed was increased slightly, but it was kept within a safe distance.
Feng Ye and A Can simply put down what they were doing, ran to the bow of the boat, and stared intently at the chase ahead.
Meanwhile, this situation was also noticed by other fishing boats, who all turned their attention to it.
The boats from Zizhu Island clearly had the speed advantage and quickly caught up with the four fleeing fishing boats.
They split up, each pair fighting one ship, trapping the ship from Xiansha Island in the middle.
Immediately, boarding action broke out.
However, the people of Zizhu Island outnumbered and quickly defeated the people of Xiansha Island with sticks.
Then, the people from Zizhu Island quickly jumped onto the other party's boat and began loading things onto their own.
Tian Weiguo used the enemy's own methods against them, transferring the catch, tools, and diesel engines from the enemy's four boats to his own.
Even the fishing nets that were still in the water were hauled up and taken away.
The people of Xiansha Island could only watch helplessly, powerless to resist and too afraid to do so.
After looting everything, the eight fishing boats from Zizhu Island swaggered away.
The whole process lasted quite a while, but not a single boat nearby went to intervene or help.
Everyone was adopting a "better safe than sorry" attitude, and just watched the spectacle silently.
In the end, all that remained were four powerless, empty boats drifting with the current, along with the bruised and battered people of Xiansha Island.
"Tsk tsk, these four ships are really unlucky, taking the blame for others."
Ah-Can said with a smile, showing no sympathy whatsoever.
Feng Ye shook his head and said, "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."
"What do you mean?"
Ah-Can looked at him with a confused expression, "Can you please stop being so vague?"
"Try to understand it yourself; if you really don't understand, then forget it."
Feng Ye was too lazy to explain.
Ah-Can pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I think I understand. You mean that as people of Xiansha Island, no matter who you are or whether you were involved in yesterday's events, you are all targets for retaliation."
Feng Ye nodded, then added in a pedantic tone, "While it may not be perfect, it's not far off either."
"Should we help them today and drag them back?"
Ah-Can pointed to the four fishing boats and asked.
The people on the boat were already sending out distress signals to the surrounding area.
However, none of the ships responded; they all remained indifferent, busy with their own operations.
"Let's leave it for now and talk about it when we get back this afternoon."
Feng Ye wouldn't have a sudden burst of saintly compassion and waste her time trying to help.
It's not that urgent yet.
The boat didn't capsize; it was just floating on the sea and there was no immediate danger.
He would only consider offering assistance if no other fishing boats came to help when he returned in the afternoon.
He will not sympathize with either side, nor will he target either side.
To him, they were the same to each other, since they were both strangers anyway.
Feng Jialing chimed in, "Aye is right. Let them float for now, and we'll make a plan when we get back to sell the fish."
"oh."
Ah-Can stopped paying attention and turned back to work.
The Rising Sun slowly passed the four immobile fishing boats and continued trawling forward.
When it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon and they were preparing to return, they did not see the four boats.
"Huh, where did it go? Did it drift away somewhere else?"
Ah-Can looked around, puzzled.
"They were probably rescued by other fishing boats."
Feng Jialing guessed.
"I hope so, otherwise it will be troublesome if we drift at sea and it gets dark."
Feng Ye had no prejudice against Xiansha Island and still hoped that they could be rescued.
"The waves aren't too big, so what trouble could there be at night? At most, we'll just go hungry."
Ah-Can disagreed and retorted to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye didn't bother arguing with him about such a pointless matter.
He said, "Uncle Ling, let's not worry about it, let's go back."
"Well, if they weren't rescued by other ships, then they're just unlucky."
As Feng Jialing spoke, he glanced at the compass, then adjusted the course, and the Rising Sun accelerated toward Changgu Island.
