The two ships sailed steadily on the sea, one after the other.
The sea breeze caressed my face, carrying a slightly salty and damp scent.
In the distance, the sea and sky blend into one, making it impossible to distinguish where the sea ends and the sky begins.
However, after moving away from the city's waters and gradually entering the waters of Yannan County, a chaotic scene ensued.
They did not venture too far out to sea, but instead followed the coastal route.
Therefore, the fishing boats operating near the coast all looked like they had encountered a ghost, extremely panicked.
Before the Dong Sheng even got close, they saw the markings on the bow from afar and were immediately terrified.
The boats that were casting or hauling in their nets all stopped working and started moving frantically, rowing with all their might towards the shore.
They never dreamed that they would encounter a ship from Nagao Island in the coastal waters.
At this moment, everyone only regretted that their parents didn't give them two more hands, so they couldn't paddle faster.
Feng Ye stood in the wheelhouse, watching the fishing boats desperately fleeing ahead, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Ah-chan and his son were overjoyed, having already guessed why.
"Haha, they must have seen the markings on the bow and thought it was a ship from Longtail Island."
"Need I say more? Absolutely. Every fisherman in our county knows that the people from Changwei Island have a fearsome reputation..."
"This is interesting. Look how scared they are, like they've seen a ghost."
"Yes, it will probably spread soon that the people of Longtail Island have started causing trouble again."
"This is hilarious..."
All three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ah-Can laughed so hard he almost cried: "Haha, knowing he couldn't outrun them, he still paddled like crazy. It's so funny!"
"The problem is, even if we can't outrun them, we have to run. We can't just stand there and wait to die, can we?"
Feng Ye couldn't stop smiling either, "Besides, they don't necessarily have to outrun us, as long as they don't fall behind."
Ah-Can instantly understood: "That makes sense! Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me!"
Feng Ye's eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea popped into his head: "Ah Can, how about we tease them a little?"
How to make fun of them?
Ah-Can became interested, and his eyes lit up.
"Look, aren't they all paddling desperately towards the shore? If you drive faster and deliberately move closer to them, do you think they'll be scared to death?"
Feng Ye chuckled mischievously.
"Haha, you're so mean."
Ah-Can's lips curled into a playful smile. "However, this is a good idea. I like it. Watch me scare them all to death."
After saying that, he stepped on the gas, and the speed of the Dong Sheng increased instantly.
Feng Jialing didn't stop their pranks; instead, she found them quite amusing and even became a childlike herself.
Anyway, they weren't really going to do anything bad; they were just teasing the fishermen and letting them experience what it meant to be "terrified."
The fishing boats ahead had been keeping a close eye on the Dong Sheng's movements. When they saw it suddenly accelerate, they were terrified, their oars swaying so violently that they left afterimages.
After catching up with the last boat, Ah-chan deliberately slowed down, making it seem as if he was going to force it to stop.
The fishermen on the boat were terrified, their eyes filled with fear, and they shouted for help to the other boats ahead.
But the other fishermen were so terrified that they dared not go back to rescue him.
They were all focused on paddling desperately to escape, afraid of becoming the next unlucky ones to be caught.
Ah-chan was overjoyed when he saw that his prank had succeeded. He suddenly accelerated, leaving the boat behind, and continued to chase after the other boats ahead.
The three people on the boat couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of the fishermen's terrified expressions.
"That was hilarious, they were all scared out of their wits."
Ah-Can laughed loudly, "I didn't expect this mark to have this effect. I think we should just leave it as is. If we drive it out, I doubt anyone will dare to mess with us..."
The more he talked about it, the better he felt the idea was.
This mark can intimidate the vast majority of people.
Feng Ye rolled his eyes. "What kind of terrible idea is this? You think keeping this mark is a good thing? What if we actually run into people from Longtail Island someday? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"
Feng Jialing also said, "Ah Ye is right. It's better to get it over with than to cause trouble for ourselves."
Ah-Can scratched his head: "That's right, I was just assuming things."
The Dong Sheng cruised merrily across the sea, weaving back and forth between boats like a cat chasing a mouse, terrifying the fishermen.
Feng Ye and his two companions, however, were thoroughly enjoying themselves, reveling in the joy that this prank brought.
Everyone, including Feng Jiaqing who followed behind, was very happy.
Of course, their pranks don't always succeed.
We also encountered some people who were very bold and united.
Several ships gathered together, and no matter how close the Dong Sheng got, they were not afraid. In fact, relying on their numbers, they were eager to stage a counter-hijacking.
When faced with such a situation, all they can do is slunk away in their boat, speeding up as fast as they can, and make a hasty escape.
If someone actually robs you, that won't be fun at all; you might even get beaten up.
Laughing and joking all the way, the Dong Sheng sailed toward the county shipyard with the joy of mischief.
From a distance, the outline of the shipyard and its own dock could be seen.
At this point, Ah-chan stopped steering the ship and replaced him with the more experienced Feng Jialing.
The ship's speed gradually decreased, and it slowly sailed towards the dock outside the shipyard.
However, when they approached the dock, they saw that there were quite a few people standing on it.
Moreover, each of them was holding a weapon such as an iron bar, and they were staring at the slowly approaching Dong Sheng with hostile expressions.
Ah-Can frowned: "Oh no, could they have misunderstood and think it really is a ship from Longtail Island?"
"It seems so."
Feng Ye nodded. "Let's go, let's not stay here. Let's go down to the bow of the boat and explain, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."
"Yes, yes, let's go right away."
Ah Can responded and followed Feng Ye's steps, quickly going down to the deck and running all the way to the bow of the ship.
