Fang Yi is really unlucky; his luck is terrible.
On my first trip to the open sea, we unexpectedly encountered a thunderstorm.
The weather suddenly changed; dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, a strong wind suddenly arose, and huge waves crashed against the hull, causing the Donglai to rock violently.
In this situation, it would be difficult for even a seasoned sailor, let alone a novice like him.
They huddled together in the cabin, gripping the handrails tightly to prevent themselves from being thrown around.
Fang Yi's physique is quite suitable for going out to sea; despite the ship rocking so violently, he didn't get seasick.
However, because of his lack of experience, he was shaken and fell down at the beginning, and unfortunately, he hit his nose.
The nose is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, and it is also densely packed with nerves, making it extremely sensitive to pain.
Although there was no bleeding, the aching and painful sensation made him gasp, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.
As the wind and waves intensified, the boat rocked even more violently, and he became terrified, his face turning pale, fearing that the boat would be capsized by the giant waves.
Fortunately, the calm expressions of the eight boatmen reassured him and eased his tension slightly.
At the same time, they comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, this boat is sturdy and can withstand the wind and waves. You'll be fine. Thunderstorms are common; it'll be over once we get out of this area..."
Fang Yi listened and began to look forward to it.
However, the result was not as good as he had imagined.
After a considerable period of continuous turbulence, the Donglai successfully escaped the thunderstorm area, and the waves gradually subsided.
However, the situation has not completely calmed down.
Not to mention restoring the calm and tranquil state of the coastal waters.
The Donglai was still bobbing up and down in the waves, its hull rocking, just not as violently.
They had been sailing at sea for almost four hours and had traveled forty or fifty nautical miles.
The saying "even on a calm sea, waves can be three feet high" is no joke.
Fang Yi regretted it.
If I had known that going out to sea would be so unpleasant, I would have preferred to stay on shore.
At this moment, gazing at the still turbulent sea, he felt none of the initial excitement, nor any sense of appreciation whatsoever.
He really wanted Feng Ye to turn back immediately and send it back to shore, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Before he came out, Feng Ye had warned him that the sea was rough, but he insisted on coming out on his own.
He can only grit his teeth and bear it now.
The soreness in my nose had not completely subsided, and my heart was filled with helplessness and regret.
Feng Ye was in the wheelhouse, unaware of what was happening in the cabin below, let alone Fang Yi's thoughts.
He was focused solely on navigating the boat.
Once he was able to make radio contact with Dongsheng and Fengshou and obtain their specific coordinates, he headed straight for the coordinates.
I picked up Fang Yi around 3 p.m. and drove for more than nine hours from the county town. It was almost 1 a.m. before we finally found the Dongsheng and Fengshou cars.
Xiao Zhaojun was eager to come closer and see what Feng Ye and his crew's newly purchased ship looked like.
But it's nighttime now, and it's only the third day of the Lunar New Year, so there's no moon in the sky and we can't see it clearly even if we come over.
He had no choice but to abandon the idea and exchanged a few simple pleasantries over the radio.
Feng Ye piloted the Donglai and slowly brought it alongside the Dongsheng.
With just a few adjustments to the crew configuration on both ships, it won't take more than a few minutes before there's no need to stop; we can simply maintain the same speed.
Ah-chan was the most excited.
Before the two ships were even fully docked, he eagerly jumped onto the Donglai and looked around.
Like a curious child, they touched this and looked at that, full of curiosity about every detail of the new ship.
Ye Chenliang and Luo Zhiping also came over one after another, and at the same time, four newly recruited boatmen went to the Dongsheng.
With the personnel adjustments complete, Feng Ye turned the helm, moving away from the Dong Sheng, and prepared to begin launching the net.
After waiting for a while, guessing that the net had been lowered, but still not seeing Ah-Can come up to relieve him, he got out of the driver's seat.
Once we reached the platform outside, we peered down and saw Ah-chan still wandering around aimlessly.
He immediately shouted angrily, "Ah Can, what are you wandering around for? Hurry up and get on the boat. I've been driving for over ten hours, I'm exhausted."
Ah-Can looked up, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Coming, coming."
As soon as he got into the wheelhouse, he quickly explained, "Haha, I was so excited to see this ship for the first time that I forgot I was supposed to come up and take your place."
This ship is really nice, it looks even newer than the Harvest…
"Alright, alright."
Feng Ye interrupted him, "Hurry up and start the boat, I have to go to sleep, I'll listen to your babbling after I wake up."
He stood up, left the driver's seat, yawned, and went to the two-person sleeping pod in the back.
After driving for more than ten hours, he was indeed exhausted. His eyelids were drooping and his steps were unsteady.
The moment the person lay down on the bed, they fell into a deep sleep almost instantly, without even having a dream.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning.
Feng Ye stretched and felt much better.
Stepping out of the sleeping cabin, sunlight streamed in through the porthole, shimmering on the sea surface.
It's a beautiful day today.
Ah-chan was focused on steering the boat, showing no signs of fatigue, and still carrying the excitement of last night.
Feng Ye ignored him, went down to the deck, walked to the stern, and took out his weapon to release the water.
With the water flowing smoothly and a gentle sea breeze blowing, Feng Ye took a deep breath of fresh air and felt exceptionally relaxed.
In the distance, the sea and sky blend into one, dotted with fishing boats, a scene of tranquility tinged with vitality.
After relieving himself, he shook himself off and put the water back in his crotch. When he turned around, he saw Fang Yi sitting in the shade on the deck, leaning against the ship's tower, staring blankly into the distance.
