Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1390 Decided to Leave

The sun rises higher and higher.

The temperature on the sea surface is getting higher and higher.

Gao Zhicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously and looked at the rod in his hand. No fish had taken the bait for nearly twenty minutes.

"There should be no fish!"

Gao Zhicheng turned around and shouted to Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua beside him.

"Correct!"

"The school of sea bass must have moved to another place, or maybe we just caught them all."

Wu Weimin nodded. Since no fish had taken the bait for such a long time, the school of sea bass should have moved to other places, or maybe it was just a small school of fish. After fishing for almost an hour, they had caught all the fish.

“It’s time to collect the fishing rod!”

"No more fishing!"

Lin Zuhua put it away as he spoke, and looked at the hole on the side of the speedboat. He was very thirsty, but he didn't have time to drink water. He lit a cigarette and started smoking first.

Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin and Wu Guodong all put away their fishing rods with a smile. They were fishing here just to kill time, but they didn't expect to encounter a school of fish.

"How many fish did we catch?"

Wu Weimin put away his fishing rod and looked down at the live water tank at his feet. He had been busy fishing and had not noticed it before. But now he looked carefully and found that he had caught quite a few fish.

"If it's not a thousand pounds, it must be at least eight hundred pounds!"

"what!"

"Why do I feel like the people on these fishing speedboats or fishing boats around us are all staring at us with wide eyes?"

Gao Zhicheng looked at the speedboats and fishing boats around him and saw that almost all of them were staring at him and pointing at him.

"Correct!"

"The people around here are so envious that their eyes are red!"

Wu Guodong found it very funny.

We arrived late today, and the good positions in the island and reef foam area had already been guarded by someone.

I just found a place to fish at random, and even I didn't think I could catch any fish today.

At the beginning, we really couldn't catch any fish, but somehow the fish suddenly ran to the side of our speedboat.

For an hour, several people kept pulling in sea bass, and the fish they caught weighed at least 800 kilograms, or even 1,000 kilograms.

There were a lot of fishing boats and speedboats around, all of them staring with wide eyes, watching these people fishing without being able to do anything about it.

How could I not be envious? How could I not be jealous?

"People on the speedboats and fishing boats around us didn't dare to come over when they saw us fishing."

"At the beginning, we definitely thought we would only catch a few fish and not many fish. When we saw the fishing on the street, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to fish for long."

"The most important thing is that every position in the island and reef foam area is occupied by someone, and they won't leave."

"Once a fishing boat or speedboat leaves, another speedboat or fishing boat will take its place."

"The result was that everyone could only watch helplessly as we caught a huge sea bass weighing over 800 kilograms."

The more Wu Weimin talked, the funnier it seemed. The people on the speedboats and fishing boats around him had very complicated mindsets. When they saw that they had caught fish, they all wanted to send them over, but they were also worried that their spots would be taken by others after they left.

"what!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Let's go back to Ding Dawen's fishing boat!"

"If we continue to stay here, I think these people will want to beat us up!"

As Gao Zhicheng spoke, he called out to Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua, and they all cleaned up the fish on the speedboat, and then returned to Ding Dawen's fishing boat.

"Dry!"

"This is really a ghost!"

"Wu Guodong and his friends were just randomly looking for a place to fish. They didn't catch any fish at first, but suddenly a school of sea bass ran over there!"

Xu Xiaochui watched Gao Zhicheng drive away in the speedboat and couldn't help but curse.

In half a day, he, his elder brother Xu Dachui, and Song Tianping next to him each caught five or six fish, and they all weighed more than ten or twenty kilograms. This was the most they had caught in recent times.

I was in a very good mood. I even found it funny when I saw the place where Gao Zhicheng and Wu Guodong's speedboat stopped. It was impossible to catch sea bass in such a position.

At the beginning, there were indeed no sea bass taking the bait, but after more than an hour, schools of fish began to appear. Then I watched Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, Wu Guodong and Lin Zuhua pulling in sea bass one by one.

"Ugh!"

"Wu Guodong and his friends fished for about an hour, and they caught a thousand kilograms of sea bass!"

"When was the last time we caught so many fish?"

"I feel like before Zhao Dahai came here to fish, we still had the chance to catch so many fish, but since Zhao Dahai started fishing here, we no longer have such a chance!"

Song Tianping rubbed his face vigorously and tried to recall for a long time, but he could not remember the last time he caught a thousand or several hundred kilograms of sea bass in a day.

"Correct!"

"Ever since Zhao Dahai came here to fish for sea bass, we have hardly caught so many fish!"

"Especially during this fishing moratorium, there is absolutely no chance at all!"

Xu Dachui nodded with a gloomy expression.

We caught more fish today than in the past few days, and I was in a really good mood. But just now I saw Wu Guodong and his team just stop at a random place and catch more than a thousand kilograms of sea bass, which was really upsetting.

"Ugh!"

"Is there anything that can be done about this?"

"There were so many people around watching Wu Guodong and his friends fishing, but they didn't dare to go over. We were occupying this good spot, so we were even more afraid to go over."

Song Tianping was really depressed.

In the past, if there were not so many people in the island and reef foam area, or if it was not the fishing moratorium, if you saw someone catch so many fish, you would definitely squeeze over. But now you really don’t dare to do such a thing. As long as you leave this place, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"never mind!"

"What else can it be?"

"We caught these sea bass today. Although it's not a lot, it's much more than the previous few days, which is pretty good."

Xu Dachui could only comfort himself.

"correct!"

"Should we go fishing somewhere else?"

"Why do I feel like there are more speedboats and people coming here today?"

Song Tianping glanced around. He had been staying on the speedboat for the past few days and it was very tiring, but there were more and more speedboats and people around. He, Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui hoped that they would not catch any fish in a few days as there were fewer and fewer people here. It seemed that the idea would not happen.

In this case, Xu Dachui, Xu Xiaochui and I must consider the final decision: whether to stay in this place or change to another place to see if we can catch more fish.

"Leave!" "We must leave this place!"

"If we could catch as many sea bass as we did today every day, we would just accept it with a pinch of our nose, but in the past few days we could only catch one or two sea bass every day."

"If this continues, I might as well go home and sleep."

"What's the point of staying here every day?"

Xu Xiaochui said without thinking that they must leave here.

Today, my elder brother Xu Dachui and I went fishing together and caught more than a dozen sea bass, all of which were quite big.

I made a little money, but in the past few days I could only catch one or two sea bass every day. On average, I made almost no money. However, I had to stay on the speedboat and guard the foam area of the island reef for 24 hours.

It's very hard work, and I really feel it's not worth it.

"Honestly, I think it's almost impossible to make money during this year's fishing moratorium."

"In this case, we might as well leave this place and go somewhere else to see if we can catch fish. If we can, we will fish. If we really can't, we will go home and sleep."

Xu Xiaochui became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Every year's fishing moratorium is a good opportunity for anglers to make money, but this year was like this. He hadn't caught many fish in the past few days, and his anger at not making much money all came out at once.

Song Tianping's face suddenly became very ugly.

This statement is actually not wrong at all.

If you can catch fish during the fishing moratorium, you can indeed make money.

People like me and Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui who make a living by fishing look forward to the arrival of the fishing moratorium every year.

Over the past ten years, he and his two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui have earned much more money during the fishing moratorium every year than at other times.

But this year the situation has changed drastically.

Too many people were crowding in the island reef foam area to fish, and the direct result was that neither he nor the two brothers Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui caught many fish.

The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are rising rapidly like in previous years, but without any fish, you can't make much money.

If you really calculate it, this year's fishing moratorium not only did not make any money, but we actually lost a little money.

Moreover, in order to occupy a spot during this year's fishing moratorium, he, Xu Dachui and Xu Xiaochui must guard this place 24 hours a day.

Not making any money and very tiring!

Xu Xiaochui is now full of anger, and I am also full of anger.

"Correct!"

"Xu Xiaochui."

"What you said is absolutely correct."

"We basically haven't made any money these days. If we just stay here, there's actually not much use."

"Even if we can catch as many sea bass as we did today every day, what's the point? How much money can we make?"

"If you can't make much money, then you might as well not make any money at all."

"The money we earn during the fishing moratorium is much less than what we earn during normal times. It would be better if we just went home and went to sleep, and waited until the fishing moratorium was over before going out to sea to fish."

"It's just not worth it to fish here right now."

Song Tianping became angrier as he talked.

The anger I felt during the first few days of the fishing moratorium was just like Xu Xiaochui's, all rushing to my head.

Xu Dachui looked at Song Tianping and then at his younger brother Xu Xiaochui, then he sighed for a while.

"Ugh!"

"What you said is actually not wrong at all."

"The current situation doesn't really mean much to us."

"I caught a few more sea bass today so I can make some money, but it's not a lot. I can only say I'm making a profit."

"But compared to the fact that we have to stay here in the wind and sun for 24 hours a day, it's really not worth it at all."

"Even if we catch as many sea bass as we did today every day, it won't be of much use."

"But now there are so many fishing boats, so many couriers, and so many people here that it is almost impossible to catch so many fish every day."

Xu Dachui lowered his head to look at the sea bass in the live water tank and shook his head as he spoke. He knew very well that with so many people in the island and reef foam area, it would be impossible to catch as many sea bass every day in the future.

"what?"

"Xu Dachui."

"Do you mean to say that you want to leave and stop guarding this place?"

Song Tianping was stunned for a moment. Although he was furious just now, after calming down, he realized that it would be more difficult to catch fish elsewhere if he left the island reef foam area.

"Correct!"

"I plan to leave here and go home to sleep when it gets dark."

"Xu Xiaochui is right. Let's leave this place and find another place or some other fishing spots."

"If you can catch fish, catch it. If you can't catch fish, forget it."

"Go home and sleep."

"Wait until the fishing moratorium is over, or wait until there are fewer fishing boats and speedboats crowded in the island and reef foam area before coming here to fish."

Xu Dachui gritted his teeth. In the current situation, there really was no point in staying here.

One is to wait for the fishing moratorium to end, and the other is to wait until there are fewer people in the island and reef foam area before coming here to fish.

"Big brother."

"Are we really going to do this?"

Xu Xiaochui looked at Xu Dachui and saw that he seemed to have made up his mind. He felt a little worried.

"Correct!"

"Like I just said, there's really no point in staying here guarding."

"Before the fishing moratorium began, we could earn as much in one day as we do in ten days now that the moratorium has begun."

“It wasn’t as hard as it is now.”

"There's really no point in standing guard here like this. There's no point in doing this."

Xu Dachui was really not joking and had really made up his mind.

"Row!"

"That's it!"

"I've had enough. I've been here for the past few days but haven't been able to make much money."
