The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly, and the visibility at sea is much better than on land. You can see very far ahead. If it weren't for the uninhabited island blocking the view, we wouldn't have only noticed it when we got this close.
Old Fu asked, "Is this our fishing boat?"
Wu An shook his head.
The flag flying on that fishing boat was not the Five-Starred Red Flag.
Old Fu said, "Oh, that's alright."
"They are all fishermen."
"We don't do homework, so we usually won't make things difficult for you."
Wu An remained silent, knowing that Old Fu was trying to put a good point.
but.
So close
Aqing pointed to the large fish fleeing ahead and said, "Old Fu, that fish is not doing well; its speed has obviously slowed down."
"If I chase it a little longer, I'm sure I can hook it."
"It was just a hair's breadth away."
He pulled the hook back and shook it in his hand.
Old Fu nodded.
The fishing boat continued forward.
The big fish seemed to sense the danger and suddenly turned, rushing sideways towards a deserted island.
Fishing boats can't turn the rudder very quickly.
Aqing was extremely anxious and cursed the big fish for being so cunning!
Old Fu reassured him, "Don't worry, he can't escape."
Wu An was staring at the fishing boat opposite.
His fears did not come true.
The fishing boat opposite them didn't seem to have noticed them and didn't make any move.
This is good.
They caught the fish and left, and everyone kept to themselves.
As the fishing boat got closer to the big fish, Wu An stopped paying special attention to it. A Qing tried casting her line several more times, but she missed by just a little bit each time.
Seeing that his arm was getting tired, Wu An said, "Let me do it."
Aqing handed him the grappling hook.
Wu An took the hook and discovered that it could boost luck points. Regardless of whether the boosted luck points were useful or not, he directly gave him a few luck points.
"call."
"Get out of here!"
He threw it with all his might.
It was launched and flew out.
It snagged right on the float of the net, which was in terrible shape. He tried pulling on it and felt that the hook was very stable, indicating that the cast had caught the net.
Wu An smiled.
Ah Qing was overjoyed, dancing with excitement: "I won!"
"I got it!"
"The big fish can't escape."
"Brother, you're amazing!"
Mei Wu hurriedly tied the rope to the winch, so that unless the big fish broke the rope, it would have no chance of escaping.
At this moment, the big fish was already at its last gasp.
Having been at sea with the net for so long, he was already exhausted. With Ah Qing pulling him, his momentum was depleted, and he could only be weakly pulled toward the fishing boat.
Winch operation.
The hook was successfully retrieved.
They chased after this fish for a long time, taking great risks, but it was worth it; they finally caught the big fish.
Mei Wu was also very happy.
Old Fu immediately changed course, preparing to leave, and said in a grave tone, "We're in trouble."
"The fishing boat moved."
"Judging from the direction the rudder is turning, it's coming for us."
Wu An's expression changed. He was about to take out his binoculars to look when he realized that he could see clearly without them, indicating that he was not far from the fishing boat.
As Old Fu turned the helm, his eyes, sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the fishing boat opposite him, and said, "There's something strange about that fishing boat."
"The waterline is shallow, and the ship is not carrying much weight."
"We have half a boatload of fish. If we really had to run, we definitely couldn't outrun them."
Mainly.
They were already behind, and the other fishing boats were already rushing over. They had to turn their rudders. The two fishing boats were not far apart to begin with. He estimated that the situation was not optimistic. They would probably be overtaken before they could get to the center line.
Aqing grinned and said, "They're coming this way?"
What are they trying to do?
"You want to mess with us?"
Old Fu said, "After all, we've already agreed on the middle line..."
Mei Wu sneered, "What bullshit center line? It doesn't exist at all."
"Don't they know what era we live in? This is our territory, we have nothing to fear from them!"
Wu An said, "I think the fishing boats on the other side aren't very big either, about the same size as ours."
"If they really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"Aqing, bring me the satellite phone first."
"If the fishing boat on the other side really wants to cause trouble, call the police."
Aqing immediately turned around and ran back into the boat awning to get her phone.
Mei Wu went to check on the winch operation; the big fish was still being pulled back and would be pulled up soon.
Old Fu called out, "Ah An, the binoculars."
Wu An handed the binoculars to Old Fu.
Old Fu glanced at it and said, "The people on the fishing boat across the way are signaling to us to stop."
Wu An's face was grim: "Old Fu, I'll steer the boat."
"Go and signal with flags."
"Let them get out of here too."
Old Fu asked, "So, shall we stop or not?"
Wu An sneered, "Take them for farting."
Old Fu smiled.
At this point, they not only represent themselves, but if they stop their ships just because the other side tells them to, that would be cowardly and utterly shameful.
Mei Wu said, "Then the other side will definitely treat what we say as nonsense."
Wu An said, "Let's try diplomacy first, then resort to force."
Old Fu went to signal with flags.
The fishing boat opposite them didn't slow down and continued heading straight for them.
The steering wheel has been turned.
Wu An quickly increased the speed of the boat. From the air, the fishing boat circled in a semi-circle, and the winch worked to pull up the big fish.
Ah Qing shouted, "It's a tuna!"
Mei Wu asked excitedly, "What kind of tuna is this? It's huge!"
Is it a bluefin tuna?
He and Aqing combined weren't even as big as this tuna. If it weren't for the winch pulling it, they probably wouldn't have been able to move it at all.
Old Fu shook his head: "It's not bluefin, it's yellowfin tuna."
"This one probably weighs three or four hundred pounds!"
"It's considered one of the larger yellowfin tuna."
Ah Qing said, "It would be great if it were bluefin."
Mei Wu nodded, somewhat disappointed.
Old Fu said, "It's not bad either."
"A size this big could easily sell for at least ten thousand yuan."
"It wasn't for nothing that we chased it for so long."
"Alright, enough nonsense, come help me, let's get rid of this yellowfin quickly."
Bring me the tools.
Old Fu couldn't handle it alone; this yellowfin tuna was just too big. Even after being a fisherman for so long, he had never seen a yellowfin tuna this big.
Not to mention, it's unheard of for such a small fishing boat to catch something so big.
Old Fu and his men had just finished processing the yellowfin tuna when Wu An said, "We can't shake off the fishing boats on the other side."
Old Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we stop the ship and negotiate with the other side?"
Wu An handed over the binoculars.
Old Fu took the binoculars and looked at the fishing boats opposite.
Upon seeing this, his expression turned extremely grim.
At this time.
The fishing boats on the other side were very close; you could see the people on them even without binoculars, and you could see them even more clearly with binoculars. One of the people on the other fishing boat saw them looking through binoculars and gestured with his hand to his neck.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: if they didn't stop their ships, the other side would destroy them.
Are those fishing boats out of their minds? What grudge do they hold against each other?
Old Fu put down his binoculars and said, "What if they discovered we caught a large yellowfin tuna and want to steal it?"
Wu An shook his head: "I don't think so."
"When the fishing boats on the other side moved, the big fish hadn't been pulled up yet."
"I have a feeling that they came specifically for us."
