Over there, Da Liu wasn't surprised to hear someone call his name. After all, they were from the same place, so it was perfectly normal for them to know each other.
However, I was still a little surprised when I saw that it was Ye Cheng.
I'd heard long ago that Ye Cheng has started fishing and getting rich, and he's also doing some aquaculture, making quite a bit of money.
This made him extremely envious.
It should be noted that back then, although Ye Cheng was the leader of the gang in Baiyun Village, I was the leader of Liu Village.
However, Ye Cheng is still one level below him.
Now look what's happened, everyone else has become rich while I'm still so poor.
If it weren't for jealousy, he wouldn't have bothered with those Japanese devils.
Damn it, it's all because of Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng had no idea that he was being hated again for no reason.
"Ye Cheng, it's you. What a coincidence," Da Liu replied insincerely.
"What a coincidence! I'll bring the boat over and we can chat." After saying that, Ye Cheng didn't wait for Da Liu's agreement and steered the boat over directly.
When Da Liu saw that he had actually brought the boat over, his face immediately darkened. He turned around and said a few words to the cabin, then stood on the deck.
The two ships came to a stop. Just as Da Liu was about to jump over, to avoid Ye Cheng noticing that someone was on his side.
Ye Cheng jumped over first, grabbed Da Liu's hand, and gave him a tight hug.
"Damn! Bro, what are you doing out at sea?"
Da Liu looked embarrassed. "Damn it, do we even know each other that well?"
"Oh, I just went out to sea with the village boat to take a look around, and I didn't expect to run into you. Do you want to come and see your boat? I heard you bought a boat?"
Ye Cheng understood that Da Liu didn't want him to see the people in the cabin.
But how could he let him have his way?
Xiao Hu jumped over and hugged Da Liu, just like Ye Cheng did.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Cheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and went straight into the cabin.
"Come on, I'm Liu's brother, have a smoke."
There were four people in the cabin. One of them was dressed as a fisherman and looked familiar. He was probably the captain, someone I might have seen at the dock.
The other three were clearly not locals, and their appearances differed somewhat from those of Chinese people, mainly in their eyes, which looked rather sinister.
They sat warily on the deck, even though Ye Cheng was dressed as a fisherman, he still looked on guard.
Several large boxes were placed next to the three people, with a high-tech feel, and they were obviously not fishing equipment.
Upon seeing Ye Cheng enter, the boat captain became a little nervous and his entire body tensed up.
Ye Cheng ignored everyone and immediately took out cigarettes to offer to the boat captain first, then passed them to the other three, taking the opportunity to ask a question.
"You don't look like locals, are you tourists?"
The three men didn't say anything, they just nodded and took the cigarettes.
At this moment, Da Liu rushed in and grabbed Ye Cheng.
"Second brother, let's go outside to talk. These are guests from the city. They were terrified last night."
Having clearly identified the person, Ye Cheng didn't insist and followed Da Liu onto the deck, where they started chatting casually.
"That's great, Liu. Now you're even expanding your tourist business to the sea."
"I can't compare to you. I heard you've made a fortune."
"I'm just earning a little money through hard work. These guys look a bit like foreigners. I've heard that foreigners are naive and rich. Introduce some to me next time so I can earn some too."
Upon hearing that they were foreigners, Xiao Hu pretended to be curious and looked inside. "Really? There are foreigners too? Let me see."
Why does he look like a Japanese soldier?
Upon hearing Xiao Hu's words, Da Liu's face instantly darkened. "Xiao Hu, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"That's right, Xiao Hu, what nonsense are you talking about? Our Da Liu can deal with the Japanese devils."
Xiao Hu looked at the two actors speechlessly, thinking, "Are you the ones who can really act?"
"Right? Da Liu." After saying Xiao Hu, Ye Cheng looked at Da Liu with a playful expression.
Liu's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"What? Do I need to explain my affairs to you?"
Seeing Liu's expression, Ye Cheng became even more certain.
He grinned and patted Da Liu on the shoulder.
"How could that be? I was just asking casually. It's already dawn, so I'm leaving now to go home and sleep."
After saying that, Ye Cheng led Xiao Hu back to his own boat.
Behind them, Da Liu stared at the two men's backs, trying to gauge their movements. He guessed that Ye Cheng and the others already knew that these were Japanese soldiers.
But whether they'll go around spreading rumors is another matter. The safest course of action is to eliminate them.
But he was just a hoodlum, and he was still a little hesitant to actually commit murder.
Especially since there was another boat behind it, which also seemed to belong to Baiyun Village.
Even if he could kill Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu, he couldn't kill the people on the ship behind them.
After Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu boarded the boat, they greeted Da Liu with a smile and then sailed away.
Once the boat had gone some distance, Xiao Hu spoke.
"Brother, I have a feeling that Liu wants to get us."
Ye Cheng said calmly, "They don't want to mess with us, they want to kill us."
"No way, he dares to kill someone?" Xiao Hu said in surprise.
"People die for money, birds die for food. If things get to that point, it's hard to say what will happen. Let's go back first."
Duan Chunsheng called out as Ye Cheng approached.
"Second brother, do you know him?"
"Yes, it's Liu from Liu Village, he used to play with us."
"What a coincidence! Are you alright? I noticed you two didn't seem to be having a very pleasant conversation up there." Although Duan Chunsheng was far away, he could still sense something was off.
Ye Cheng smiled.
"Uncle Duan, what's there to be happy or unhappy about? It's just a bit of bad temper from when we were just getting by. Let's go home."
He didn't plan to tell Duan Chunsheng about this; it was a bit dangerous, and it was best if fewer people knew.
It was past seven o'clock when we got back to the dock, and some fishing boats started returning one after another.
Everyone was talking about the big storm last night. Ye Cheng and his men had planned well and found a place to hide, so the ship didn't suffer any damage.
Several fishing boats were damaged and they were looking for someone to repair them.
As for the catch, there was practically nothing.
Ye Cheng only has about 200 kilograms of squid, but the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
The price of squid was relatively high today, and I still managed to sell it for over 1,000 yuan. It's better than nothing, I suppose.
Before going back, Ye Cheng found a dockworker, gave him 100 yuan, and asked him to keep an eye on the boat from Liu Village and let him know when it went out to sea.
After going back to sleep, Ye Cheng went to town to have an X-ray taken to check if there was anything wrong with his leg.
Fortunately, there were no fractures, just superficial injuries and muscle strains.
Ye Guowei also learned about the storm, came over to check on things, brought some vegetables, and told him not to go out to sea for the next couple of days.
Ye Cheng didn't want to go to sea, but he was worried about Da Liu.
He guessed that those Japanese devils definitely hadn't achieved their goal yesterday and would surely continue their voyage.
Judging from their movements over the past few days, what they are looking for should be near the sea where they catch squid.
