1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 150 The fish thief was caught
The next day, another round of night hunting began.

Generally speaking, the three boats will first go to the sea area where there may be large fish such as flathead tuna, and stay there for an hour or two. If flathead tuna is lured here, this type of fish will be the main target of fishing that night.

Sometimes, if there is really nothing, consider catching cheap fish such as thorny barramundi.

In the early morning, the three boats were still quietly anchored behind the reefs of Guanqi Island.

"Tell me, is this bastard good at predicting the future? Before we had no night watch, he would come and steal every few days. He stole from our house three or four times in a row. Now we have been watching all the time, but he hasn't even disappeared!"

Zhong Ming started to feel a little discouraged after guarding for so many times, but at the same time he was puzzled, so he spoke.

“It’s a bit hard to figure out!”

Liang Ziqiang also had this feeling, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was definitely impossible for him to be able to tell the truth, and it was also unlikely that he had secretly discovered their lights.

The reason was simple. If the other party discovered them, it meant that their ship had also arrived nearby. In the middle of the night, the lights of the ship and the sound of the ship would become very obvious. With six pairs of eyes and six pairs of ears, it was impossible for Liang Ziqiang and his men to not notice anything.

"Maybe it just happened that he hasn't come to steal recently!" He could only attribute it to coincidence.

Tonight it is the turn of brothers Zhong Kang and Zhong Ming to guard the first wave, followed by Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai, and finally Liang Ziqiang is woken up and the two brothers are asked to keep watch until dawn.

Liang Ziqiang lay down on the wooden board and tried to sleep for a while.

As he had just finished a night hunt, he was exhausted all over and fell asleep as soon as he lay down. The hardwood floor did not bother him at all.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was back home. This time, Chen Xiangbei got some pheasant from somewhere and stewed it with rice cones. In addition to pheasant pieces, there were also whole pheasant legs.

Chen Xiangbei put the pheasant leg into his bowl, and he didn't hesitate to pick it up and started chewing.

After just one bite, he vomited and blamed me:
"Is it another pheasant that Da Huang caught? Something is wrong this time. Why did Da Huang catch a smelly one? Maybe he picked up a dead chicken?!"

Lizhi jumped up and laughed: "That's right! These are not pheasants, they are those two strange birds with red beaks. The meat of those birds is always smelly!"

Liang Ziqiang exclaimed: "You really stewed the two oystercatchers! You two are so greedy!"

He added, "That's not right. Even if oystercatcher meat is not tasty, it's not stinky meat. Did I taste it wrong? Try another two bites!"

So he took two more bites, and this time he vomited all over the table: "How can there be such a stinky thing in the world? I even vomited up my overnight meal!"

Lizhi burst into laughter again, but what came out of his laughter was not “Hahahaha” but “Da da da da”, a sound like a diesel motor.

Liang Ziqiang vomited a few more times and woke himself up.

When I opened my eyes, I could not see any table or room. I was lying on a wooden board in the cabin.

But he found that he had really vomited and there was a strange taste in his mouth.

Blink your eyes hard, damn, how can you not vomit?

There was really something stuffed in his mouth. It was not a chicken leg, but Liang Zifeng's big toes!
Two people were lying on the wooden board, sleeping in opposite directions. Who would have thought that Afeng's big feet could be so enthusiastic, cooking for him in the middle of the night and stuffing them directly into his mouth!

I was sleeping soundly and was not woken up by Li Liang and Deng Zhaocai, but I was woken up by his stench.

He spat twice, feeling quite hopeless. He stood up and left the wooden board, finally regaining consciousness. Once he regained consciousness, the "tapping" sound in his ears became more obvious.

Is this clearly the sound of a boat moving?

He quickly raised his head and looked towards the sea ahead, and saw that there were indeed ship lights on the sea, and the sea water reflected a swaying dim yellow.

He instinctively turned his head and looked around. All three boats were parked properly, so they were definitely not Li Liang's or Zhong Kang's boats.

Fish thief! Take another look at the movements of the two figures under the boat light. Although they are not clear in the dim light, you can vaguely see that they are pulling the seabed under the water!

Liang Ziqiang was so shocked, it really came!
I don't know whose turn it is to keep watch, is it Zhong Kang or Deng Zhaocai? Why don't they come to remind me?
He tiptoed to the two boats and took a look. What a jerk! The four people were all sleeping like pigs. How could anyone be on guard?!

Zhong Kang should be considered a man with some sense of responsibility, but Li Liang and the other two were sitting crookedly on the boat as if they were paralyzed. It was undoubtedly their turn, but they didn't take it seriously and fell asleep while sitting there!
Damn, I have to thank Liang Zifeng's stinky feet today, otherwise the thief would have stolen everything from the bottom of the sea right under my nose and no one would have noticed.

He originally wanted to punch Li Liang and the others, but he was afraid that if he beat them they would scream and alert the thieves, so he had to come up to them and pinch their noses with his hands, fearing that they would be woken up by suffocation.

Just as the two of them were about to ask questions, he stopped them from speaking:

"Hush! Don't make any noise. The thief is here. It looks like he has just started stealing. Just look towards the sea!"

Li Liang and the other man cleared their eyes to see the situation on the sea clearly. A second later, they woke up completely. They switched from drowsiness to anger without any transition and jumped up to catch the thief.

"Keep your voice down!" Liang Ziqiang quickly suppressed the two men, "Wait a moment, I'll go wake up Zhong Kang and the other two!"

He got on Zhong Kang's boat and used the same trick of pinching their noses to wake them up.

Everyone woke up and gathered on Zhong Kang's boat. The whole boat was instantly filled with the atmosphere before the battle.

Everyone spoke in low voices. Zhong Kang said:

"I suggest that we don't rush over right away and let him steal. Thirty or so underwater photos are enough for him to steal for a while! It's not far away anyway. We can rush over with full speed and surround him later. He won't be able to get away!"

Deng Zhaocai also agreed, and said in a very wise tone:

"Zhong Kang is just like me, a smart guy. I thought so too. Let him help me fish for them. I have ten pieces of sea cucumbers. It would hurt my back if I fished them by myself. It would be a waste of effort to let that bastard help me. I can beat him up and then snatch them back. It would save me a lot of effort!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I was collectively despised:

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! Zhong Kang's intention was not to save his energy, but to let the thief fish more, preferably to fill the boat. The more he fishes, the heavier the sentence will be. If he wants to do something bigger, let him do it bigger, even sentence him to death!"

It took Deng Zhaocai more than ten seconds to realize what this meant.

All of them had about thirty bottom-diving fish, so they must have caught more than a thousand kilograms of fish! They were all valuable fish like plum mullets.

The fish thief was fishing tirelessly on the seabed in the dim light of the boat. The six people behind the island were not idle either. Some brought hemp ropes, some swung hammers. Their equipment was in place in an instant, and they were ready to go, waiting for the moment when the other party was fishing most enthusiastically and without distractions, and then they would suddenly rush out to attack.

No matter what, we will first beat up the two bastards from Jitou Village, then parade them around the town with bruised faces and noses, bringing shame to Jitou Village. Finally, we will hand them over to the police...
