We arrived at the cliff island.
They encountered the Fan family father and son retrieving a fish trap.
past.
Aqing used a megaphone to announce the arrest of Ma Weiqun and others. Upon hearing this, Fan Dali told Old Man Fan and Fan Xiaozhu to continue their work while he went to Wu An's boat.
He looked curious: "Tell me in detail."
Aqing, not minding the effort, recounted the story again.
Fan Dali laughed and said, "Good, they've even started fighting amongst themselves. Even God can't stand it anymore."
Wu An didn't say much more about it, and asked, "How was your harvest?"
Fan Dali smiled and said, "That's good."
"The resources around here are really good."
"We'll be back in a bit."
Wu An said, "The weather forecast says the weather is going to change again."
Fan Dali nodded, sighed, and said nothing.
It's normal for the weather to change.
They work only for three days and then rest for two; it's not that they're lazy, but sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate.
We chatted for a while.
Fan Dali then replied.
After returning home, he told Old Man Fan and Fan Xiaozhu about the situation.
Old Fan snorted twice: "So if it weren't for the internal strife, Ma Weiqun would have turned the tables on us."
Fan Dali nodded.
Old Fan said, "This kid is really lucky. He got lucky. We are able to have such a harvest now, and we are indeed benefiting from his luck."
Fan Dali's mind raced, and he pressed his advantage, saying, "Dad, since you say so too, let's discuss this. I'm planning to offer 10% of the profits..."
Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Fan shouted, "Alright, I know what you want to say, no need to say it anymore."
"We're right to follow him."
"But this catch was brought up with great difficulty by us."
"Boss, you don't have to be so kind. Just get by."
Fan Xiaozhu said, "Brother, don't listen to what Dad says, I'll listen to you."
Fan Dali chuckled: "Alright then."
Old Fan shouted at the top of his lungs, but neither of the two brothers paid any attention to him, which infuriated the old man.
Fan Xiaozhu asked, "Brother, so it seems like Ma Weiqun and his gang are going to jail, right?"
Fan Dali nodded: "I guess so."
"Fish traps aren't worth much, but the catch is."
"He'll have to serve at least a few years."
Fan Xiaozhu pursed his lips and said, "What a pity."
Fan Dali glared at him: "What are you trying to do, kid?"
Fan Xiaozhu grinned and said, "Brother, I can't do anything I want now."
"Everyone has been arrested."
"You want to give Wu An a discount, but I want to help him get rid of Ma Weiqun."
Fan Dali pointed at him, glanced at Old Man Fan, and said in a low voice, "You brat... don't even think about it."
Don't let Fan Xiaozhu's quiet demeanor and seemingly introverted nature fool you; he is indeed quite introverted. But Fan Dali knows that when it comes to ruthlessness, he can't match Fan Xiaozhu.
We used to fight when we were kids.
He usually doesn't call on Fan Xiaozhu to fight; he only does so when he absolutely can't beat someone.
Fan Xiaozhu always went for the kill.
Luckily, the kid was skinny, otherwise things would have gotten out of hand. When it came to the investigation later, Fan Xiaozhu said he was just following orders, which left Fan Dali speechless.
Fan Xiaozhu said, "I don't think it's reliable to rely on the police."
"I felt that Wu An was too soft-hearted, so I wanted to help him out."
Fan Dali glared: "Wu An told us not to act recklessly. What you're doing isn't helping; it might even harm them!"
Fan Xiaozhu scratched his head and said, "Brother, you're right. I didn't think it through."
"After hearing about Ma Weiqun's incident, I've come to realize that Wu An's previous restraint might not have been due to a soft nature, but rather because he likely knew from the beginning that Ma Weiqun would be in trouble."
Fan Dali was stunned: "Really?"
Fan Xiaozhu: "Ma Weiqun has been fine all these years, but he just had to offend Wu An, and then his underlings reported him. Do you think... there's nothing going on here?"
Fan Dali fell silent and began to ponder.
Fan Xiaozhu continued, "Brother, I want to follow Wu An closely."
Fan Dali's eyes flickered: "You mean go to his ship?"
Fan Xiaozhu nodded.
Fan Dali took a deep breath and said, "Let me think about it. Even if we're willing, Wu An might not necessarily want us."
Fan Xiaozhu: "Brother, I'll do whatever you say."
...
Wu An also started working on his side.
Retrieving the traps doesn't require many people. The winch pulls the traps up, and Aqing and Meiwu can manage the job. Wu An was initially waiting to lend a hand.
result.
The catch was mediocre.
The main catch is mantis shrimp. A row of traps weighs about 60 to 70 kilograms. Based on the current price of mantis shrimp, the harvest from this row of traps is guaranteed to be at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
Compared to other fishermen, this is a pretty good catch.
Compared to their previous achievements, they can only be described as average.
Besides shrimp, there was basically nothing else in the trap.
That's normal.
If shrimp cluster together, there's basically no room for anything else.
Seeing that Aqing and Meiwu could easily handle the situation, Wu An simply went back to the awning to chat with Old Fu and discuss which way to run next.
Wu An looked at it and asked, "How about heading east?"
Old Fu said, "Okay."
"Our boat isn't big, so it can go in any direction."
"There are many of our fishing boats on the middle line now, just be careful."
He was not referring to the median line of the exclusive economic zone under international conventions, but rather the so-called median line of the Taiwan Strait.
On the surface, both sides of the strait have always kept in tacit agreement, each fishing in their own waters. In reality, this thing is just like footprints on the beach; when the tide comes in, everything is wiped out.
They used to be quite timid, but now that the fishing season has opened, many fishing boats are heading towards the middle line, frolicking in the "minefield" on the other side of Taiwan. The fishing boats are clustered together, forming a vast and imposing sight. The people on the other side are comforting themselves with the idea that "a moment of patience brings calm, and taking a step back opens up a vast and boundless world."
Regardless of what happens behind the scenes, a balance can still be maintained on the surface.
However, with the development of the times, this balance has become unstable.
Wu An laughed and said, "Alright, let's head east then."
Old Fu nodded: "Okay."
At 3:30 p.m., all the fishing traps were lowered back into the sea. Just as Old Fu was about to start the fishing boat, Wu An shouted, "Old Fu, wait a minute, it looks like a pod of killer whales."
Ah Qing looked through the binoculars and exclaimed with delight, "It really is a pod of killer whales!"
"Brother, call them over."
"Let him lead us to the school of fish."
Wu An took the binoculars and said irritably, "What are you saying? If someone is willing to help, we accept it. How can we force them to help?"
Ah Qing retorted, "Brother, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
"You don't actually consider orcas your friends, do you?"
"Nonsense!" Wu An kicked him aside to prevent the orca from overhearing and misunderstanding.
He shouted twice, and the orca pod responded with calls. Then, one of the orcas suddenly sped up, swam to the lead orca, and called twice as if to tell the leader that it was going to find Wu An.
Immediately afterwards, the orca changed direction and leaped several times to reach the fishing boat.
Wu An greeted her with delight, "Aqing, get some shrimp."
A basket full of mantis shrimp was dumped into the water, and the orca ate it with purring sounds. Wu An was also very happy to see it eating so happily, as this was the first ocean friend he had made in the sea.
"Tiger, want some more?"
"Waaaaah."
Wu An didn't understand, but he felt that the orca meant it still wanted to eat.
"Aqing, what are you standing there for? Move another basket."
