It's late at night.
The previously noisy radio gradually quieted down.
The boatmen, who had nothing to do and had been under a lot of stress for a while, relaxed and went to bed. The helmsmen, who needed to steer the ship, tried their best to stay awake.
Although Wu An's Ping An was leading the way, they dared not relax and had to strictly follow the fishing boat ahead.
Even a slight deviation could lead to unforeseen and serious consequences.
Late at night.
Ah Qing had been asleep for a while when she was woken up by the urge to urinate. She came out to the bow of the boat, looked around, and called out, "Brother, where are we now?"
Wu An shook his head.
He's confused now too.
Aqing ran to the cockpit. Fu Yongning and Mei Wu were now at the helm. Old Fu couldn't take it anymore and had fallen asleep. Under these circumstances, they dared not sail while the boat was fatigued.
Not long after.
Ah Qing ran out and shouted, "Brother, there are seven ships following us!"
Wu An said "Oh," checked the time (it was already 3:30 a.m.), and said, "I've already told Da Yiquan, we're heading to the dock now."
There's no need to go out of your way to find the stranded fishing boat. If you encounter another stranded fishing boat, you can rescue it while you're at it.
Ah Qing poured tea and water, and asked, "Brother, are you sleepy?"
Wu An yawned: "Not sleepy."
"Then you yawn?"
"Because I'm so energetic."
Why would you lie to me?
"I'm fucking lying to myself."
"Did you manage to fool them?"
"If you can't even fool me, do you think you can fool myself?"
Wu An's tone was somewhat aggressive.
He was incredibly sleepy, yawning incessantly, almost one yawn after another. He had dozed off for a while, but it was a big guy who woke him up.
There are islands and reefs ahead.
Thankfully, Da Yiquan woke him up in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
From then on, he dared not fall asleep again.
Even if I'm so sleepy I could slap myself twice, I absolutely refuse to close my eyes.
Ah Qing shone her flashlight into the thick fog and said, "Brother, I feel like the fog is thinning."
Wu An nodded.
This is a good thing, but it's not all that good either.
Because a typhoon is also approaching.
Wu An asked, "It's still early, why don't you go back and get some more sleep?"
Aqing shook her head: "No need."
"I slept for quite a long time."
"You're not asleep yet, how can I possibly go to sleep?"
Wu An cursed, "You'll be the first one to go to sleep."
Aqing chuckled: "I did that so I could come and be with you sooner."
Wu An gave him the middle finger.
Ah Qing has gone astray too.
The two brothers chatted casually, but Wu An was still very sleepy. To prevent himself from falling asleep, he specifically instructed A Qing to slap him if he saw him asleep.
later.
Wu An was shaken awake, still half asleep, and asked, "Was I asleep?"
Aqing nodded.
Wu An rubbed his face: "Didn't I tell you to slap me?"
Ah Qing said, "I gestured for a long time, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
Wu An smiled.
Just then, the walkie-talkie crackled to life, and Mei Wu’s joyful voice came through: “A’an, we should be at the town’s dock in about an hour.”
Wu An suddenly stood up: "Are you sure?"
Mei Wu said, "Of course, we're almost at the inner bay."
The fog was slowly dissipating, and now that they had reached this very familiar sea area, he said happily, "We're back safely."
Fu Yongning added, "We also successfully returned to port with seven stranded fishing boats."
"Hahaha, Ah An, that's awesome."
"I could brag about this for the rest of my life."
Ah Qing boasted, "Well, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. When we get down here, even the King of Hell will give us a thumbs up."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Some people also noticed that the fishing boats had entered the inner bay, and the radio was lively again, with many people cheering and enjoying the joy of surviving the disaster.
Wu An checked the time; it was 4:30 a.m.
The wind gradually picked up.
He quickly contacted Ajin.
After two attempts, Ah Jin finally answered the phone. Hearing Wu An's voice, he snapped out of his daze: "Brother An, you're back?"
"How was the harvest?"
"Yes, a typhoon is blowing..."
Ah Jin was still a bit confused, and his words were all over the place. Wu An was actually just as clueless, responding to whatever he heard.
Ah Jin yawned: "I'll call someone to the dock to pick up the goods right away."
Wu An replied, "As soon as possible."
"The wind is gradually picking up."
"Put the catch in cold storage first, and we'll deal with it after the typhoon passes."
Ah Jin hung up the phone, quickly got up, and called people. No one said anything; fishing boats always come back, they have to pick up the cargo when they arrive at port, so they come at any time.
only.
Because of the typhoon, many fishing boats returned to port in the afternoon. They had already worked all day and hadn't even had a chance to rest when they were called to the dock to pick up cargo. They all felt a bit overwhelmed.
We arrived at the dock safely.
Stop.
Wu An originally wanted to go to the village dock, but later felt that it was not safe to dock there, and that the town dock was more secure.
We'll see.
It's convenient for Ajin to pick up goods at the town's dock.
After docking.
Ah Jin boarded the boat, greeted everyone, and after learning about the approximate catch, sighed, "It's a pity the weather was bad, otherwise we would definitely have come back with a full catch."
Wu An smiled and said, "This is not bad either."
"If you have any hairy catfish, find me a special place to put them."
Ajin exclaimed in surprise, "You have such good stuff?"
Wu An nodded: "I'm not selling it; I want to keep it for myself."
Ah Jin sighed, "Fine."
Wu An didn't supervise the unloading. He had A Jin drive over and gave Old Fu a few instructions, who said he would handle it properly.
Wu An felt reassured and drove A Qing home first.
On the road.
The wind gradually picked up.
Ah Qing looked at him and said, "Brother, thank goodness you came back in time."
Wu An nodded: "If you're sleepy, take a nap."
Aqing yawned: "I'm not sleepy."
Wu An actually believed it.
But a moment later, snoring started, which made him laugh in exasperation.
We arrived at the entrance to the village alley.
Aqing wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth: "Brother, are we home?"
Wu An: "Hmm."
Aqing got off the bus and ran home as fast as she could.
Wu An drove home.
Knock on the door.
When the eldest brother, Wu Ping, opened the door and saw him, he exclaimed in surprise, "Ah An!"
Wu An drove the car in.
"How did it go?"
"good."
"It's good that you're back safe and sound."
"Yes, is everything alright at home?" Wu Ping nodded and said, "I came back yesterday and put up the window covers."
Mei Yueqin came out of the house.
Wu An greeted her, "Sister-in-law, did I wake you up?"
"What are you saying?"
"Hehe." Wu An glanced at his father's room: "Dad's not home?"
"He said he was going to guard the dock, didn't you see him?"
“I went to the town's dock.” Wu An realized what was happening and asked, “He didn't wait at the dock all night, did he?”
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin remained silent.
Wu An turned and ran outside: "I'm going to check out the docks."
