It wasn't until three hours later, when Ah-Can and Han-Qi-Wen got up to take over, that Feng-Ye went to sleep.
The Dong Sheng swayed and rocked like a cradle.
Perhaps because there was no noise from the machines, he slept exceptionally well.
As for the endless sound of the waves, he had long been accustomed to it, living by the sea, and even found it to be the best lullaby.
When I woke up again, the people in the other beds were still asleep, snoring all around.
It was already bright outside, but the sound of wind and rain seemed to have subsided considerably.
Feng Ye glanced at his watch; it was already past seven in the morning.
I didn't fall asleep until 11 p.m. last night, so I slept for more than eight hours.
Stepping out of the sleeping pod and into the front, the cockpit was empty.
He guessed that the last group of guards, the eldest brother and Du Yulin, were probably catching fish on the aft deck.
Although it was already seven in the morning, the sky was overcast, and it looked as if it had just dawned.
It was still windy and rainy outside.
It's just much smaller than when the typhoon passed through yesterday.
Moreover, the waves were still surging.
Although a night has passed, the unrest has not subsided.
"Sigh, we're really stuck now, and I don't know how many days we'll have to wait."
Looking at the rolling waves in this small lagoon, Feng Ye couldn't help but sigh.
If this natural haven has been so severely affected, one can only imagine how turbulent the waves outside must be.
Under normal circumstances, the effects of a typhoon will continue for some time after it passes, ranging from one or two days to a week, depending on the typhoon's path and size.
If the typhoon only sweeps across the outer periphery, there may be little impact on the shore, but the effects on the sea surface will subside more quickly.
However, if the eye of a typhoon passes through, the waves will take longer to subside.
Judging from the current situation, Feng Ye estimated that he would be trapped here for at least two or three days.
Of course, you don't have to wait for the waves to completely subside. As long as the waves are small enough that there is no danger, you can leave.
Our current location is about a four-hour flight from the county.
Just drive slowly and be careful.
As Feng Ye pondered this, he went down to the cabin, picked up his raincoat, put it on, and went outside.
Sure enough, Feng Xuan and Du Yulin were catching fish on the aft deck, and they caught quite a few.
Despite the gloomy sky and the ongoing wind and rain, the two paid no attention and were in high spirits.
Feng Ye went over to take a look, and found that the species were still the same common economic fish, but the number was quite large.
When did you start?
Feng Xuan replied, "We came out as soon as it was light. It would be boring to stay inside, so we might as well come out and pick up a few fish."
"How much did you pick up? Surely not just this much?"
"More than that, we've already moved two baskets into the fish hold."
"Oh, that's a pretty good haul."
Feng Ye nodded in satisfaction and then joined them in catching the fish that were washed ashore by the waves.
Before long, the others also got up one after another, ate something casually, and then went to the aft deck to catch fish.
With plenty of sleep, everyone was full of energy.
Whenever a big wave comes in, everyone looks over expectantly.
They would catch any fish that came up, and if there were no fish, they would wait for the next wave while chatting and discussing when the storm would subside and when they could go home.
Suddenly, another wave swept in, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.
If it's just waves, then of course it's not surprising at all.
To everyone's surprise, a large cargo ship had just come aboard the wave.
"Holy crap, a silver pomfret!"
"So many silver pomfret, and they're all quite big."
"Oh dear, what's going on? How come so many silver pomfret have been washed ashore by this wave?"
"A school of fish, there must be a school of fish..."
"Stop arguing and hurry up, or you'll get swept back into the sea."
As soon as Feng Ye said this, everyone immediately sprang into action, each rushing toward the silver pomfret closest to them.
The Dong Sheng ship had its bow facing the island and its stern facing the lagoon's outlet, which was also the direction from which the waves came.
The stern is flat and has a stern slide.
At this time, the waves are surging and easily surge up, bringing fish with them.
At the same time, these fish are also easily carried back into the sea by the seawater.
Especially small fish.
Therefore, everyone dared not be careless at all, for fear that the fish they had caught would slip away.
They all reacted quickly, grabbing the silver pomfret firmly and then tossing them into the basket.
This wave brought quite a few silver pomfret aboard the boat, dozens of them.
They were all quite large, each weighing around two pounds.
It couldn't fit in one basket, so it filled two baskets, weighing over a hundred pounds.
After transferring both baskets of silver pomfret into the fish hold, everyone quickly returned to the aft deck, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next wave.
The waves continued to surge one after another, sometimes catching many fish, sometimes few, and sometimes none at all.
But never again did a large group of silver pomfret come up like that.
Of course, other species of fish were also washed ashore, in varying numbers.
They don't discriminate; as long as a fish comes up, they catch it regardless of its species.
For a moment, the aft deck was filled with laughter and cheers.
The morning was quite productive.
The largest quantity was silver pomfret, which filled more than ten baskets, weighing around 600 jin (approximately 300 catties).
There were also many other kinds of fish, totaling about a thousand kilograms.
They waited and waited until after 2 a.m., but no fish were caught on the boat.
"Is it gone?"
"Possibly, the waves look much smaller."
"Never mind if you don't have any. Everyone, go back to the cabin. Don't get soaked in the rain here..."
"Let's wait a bit longer. Anyway, there's nothing else to do, and we're just idling around."
"Exactly, let's wait and see, maybe there will be more later."
"Yes, what if we catch more fish and they get swept back into the sea by the waves when we're not here?"
Feng Ye shrugged: "Alright, let's wait and see."
Just then, another wave swept in.
Everyone stared intently at the wave, hoping that some fish would be swept up in it.
The waves roared in, crashing against the stern of the boat and splashing countless droplets of water.
Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, a silvery light appeared in the waves, and fish were indeed being swept ashore.
"They're here! There are fish inside..."
"I see it, it looks like a silver pomfret again."
"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's a silver pomfret..."
A dozen or so silver pomfret were swept ashore on the deck by the waves.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward, trying to catch the silver pomfret.
"Haha, there's more! That's great!"
"Yes, I thought there were no more fish left, but I didn't expect that more fish were still being caught."
"Hurry up..."
