1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 464: Death of Yang Laizi

Yang Tang never thought that his wife's so-called "headache" meant that she would sleep at home with another man in the village...

He went to the movies, which turned out to be a rare opportunity for the two of them. But he didn't expect Yang Tang to rush back halfway through the movie and was caught on the spot.

Suddenly, the intensity of the scenes of beating wives and fighting between men overwhelmed the fighting in the movie. Many people stopped watching the movie and ran to Yang Tang's house to watch the fun or to stop the fight.

It was a rare occasion for a projection team to come to the village to show a movie, but it was thrown into chaos by such a farce. The only ones who were not affected were the half-grown kids, who stood in front of the screen unshakably until the end of the movie.

"This Yang Tang's wife is really shameless. She is already old and not very good-looking, but she did such a nasty thing that made people miss the movie. It really proves the saying that ugly people are more likely to do bad things!"

Liang's mother was so angry because she was affected by the movie she watched that she kept cursing when she got home.

"People always have rules. What does it have to do with how ugly they are? Isn't that guy also a short and fat guy? It's just that the turtle and the mung bean fall in love, so they are equally ugly!" Liang's father seemed quite angry because he couldn't enjoy the movie.

The noise outside has not completely subsided yet, and I don’t know what will happen next. What is certain is that many people in the village will stay there tonight to watch the fun and talk a lot, and they will not feel tired even if they stay up all night.

Back in the bedroom, Chen Xiangbei's sudden words almost made people laugh. She looked at him with wide eyes and said with deep emotion:
"A Qiang, how can humans be worse than birds? Look at the two oystercatchers at home. They were kept in the same cage for so long without ever being able to get close to each other. They only remember the bird they were paired with before they were caught in the cage. I think birds are better than humans!"

Liang Ziqiang felt that it was impossible to give a clear answer to the question of whether people were more loyal or birds were more loyal. Whenever there was no answer, he would usually choose to answer her with actions.

So, the thing that had been brewing in the shower room finally came to pass after closing the bedroom door.

Since there wasn't much to do during the rest period, they got up a little late the next day. Liang Jingcheng, who was sleeping at the other end, woke up first, climbed out of bed by himself, and then woke up his parents.

What Liang Ziqiang didn't expect was that the village was really turbulent today. In comparison, last night was nothing.

Someone went to Wild Duck Bay early in the morning and saw a man lying on the ground in the shallow water not far away. He was stiff and cold.

It’s Yang Laizi, Yang Tie.

Looking at the huge pile of batteries on his back and the two long sticks wrapped with electric wires in the water, it was obvious that he was electrofishing.

According to Yang Laizi's wife, Yang Tie went out to fish with his skills after watching a movie last night. Yang Laizi did not even go to see the good show of the couple at the nearby Yangtang family.

The reason why we don't use electric shock to fish during the day is that electric shock is the same as frying fish. Although it is not strictly controlled, if you are too blatant, you will still be punished if you are caught.

At the national level, the Fisheries Law was promulgated in 1986, which explicitly prohibits the use of "electric fishing" as a method that destroys fishery resources.

In fact, even earlier than this, the phenomenon of electrofishing and frying fish had already received attention, and local documents were issued one after another to ban them.

However, the ban is not very effective. For example, Yang Laizi, after suffering a few serious losses while stealing, has decided to change his career and sneak out at night to fish with electricity.

It is definitely very convenient. Once the two poles with electrodes are inserted into the water, fish can be caught immediately.

Each time, Yang Laizi used electric shock to fish, it was not just one or two fish that were affected. Once the plug was inserted into the water, a whole group of fish and shrimp, no matter big or small, would be electrocuted to death and float to the surface. Yang Laizi would just have to scoop them up.

He was able to be lazy and catch quite a lot of fish. At least it was much better than his previous gains from stealing traps and nets. Yang Laizi seemed to be addicted to electrofishing recently.

But he didn't come home last night, and his wife thought there were too many fish last night and he planned to stay out all night.

When he was found the next morning, Yang Laizi had been lying dead by the water for who knows how long. Needless to say, he must have been electrocuted when he was fishing with an electric current.

The villagers were already talking about it, saying that Yang Tie's family was unwilling to do any real work and just wanted to be lazy and take advantage, and in the end they ended up being lazy and slacking off.

"That's good now. Didn't Yang Laizi's wife always chase me and scold me in the past? Now she is the only one left in the Yang family. She is so lucky!" Liang's mother has not forgotten that Yang Laizi's wife used to curse the Liang family.

Liang Ziqiang walked into the village and heard the villagers' discussions, which made him feel emotional.

In his previous life, Yang Laizi had several ribs broken and his internal organs injured, but he did not die and at least lived for many years.

In this life, not only did Yang Laizi's two sons spend their lives in prison, but he himself died of electrocution after only a few years. In this way, it was Liang Ziqiang's beating that saved his life in the previous life, at least it made him not have the strength to go out and mess around, and he lived a lot longer.

No matter whether it was Yang Tang's affairs or Yang Laizi's death, these matters were handled by the Yang family. Liang Ziqiang just listened to them and forgot about them, considering them as just small waves in life.

After the rest, the fleet continued to go out to sea.

Since the newly purchased bottom-tug ship could not arrive for the time being, the Ziqiang, Boqiang and Zhongqiang ships still headed for the deep sea together.

"Look, there are a bunch of things that look a bit like gourds!"

When the boat was approaching the deep sea area, Li Liang pointed at the sea surface in front of him and shouted.

It was true. There were at least seven or eight creatures with shiny black fur and smooth heads and bodies in the sea, constantly emerging from the water, occasionally looking in the direction of their three large ships, and then continuing to gather around the center.

"Unlike the gourd, this is not a sea lion, it's a group of sea lions!" Liang Ziqiang recognized it after just two glances.

The head of the sea lion appears rounder, and it looks more agile and shrewd. The two are quite similar, but the difference is still quite obvious.

"No wonder so many sea lions are surrounding us. There's a big fish in front!" Lin Baixian also raised his finger and pointed.

As the boat approached, Liang Ziqiang and the others saw a huge gray-brown creature floating in the sea at a very slow speed.

Even though the sea lions were approaching one after another, the strange fish was still as leisurely as if it was on vacation.

As Liang Ziqiang and the others watched, it turned over, lying on its belly, basking in the sun.

The belly is different in color from other parts of the body, it is silvery white.

This fish has an extremely strange shape. It has eyes and fins, but it seems to have only the upper body and no lower half. It looks like it has been cut off at the waist, with only the head left swimming in the sea.

Therefore, it is called "head fish" by fishermen.

But in fact this fish has more formal names, such as sunfish and moonfish.

For example, because of its unique appearance, it can float and flip easily in the ocean, so it is called "sunfish".

Of course, fishermen who encounter this fish at sea would generally prefer to call it head fish or moon fish, rather than "sunfish". They are very averse to the word "sunfish".

In addition to its strange appearance, the sunfish is also weirdly docile. It's not even docile, it's mostly half-dead.

Normally in the ocean, all kinds of fish like to come up to it and take a bite. It doesn't like to hide. It will bite anyone who wants to bite it, as long as the other party is happy.

At this moment, a large group of sea lions were surrounding the sunfish and opening their mouths to bite it.

Even from Liang Ziqiang's angle, he could see that a gap immediately appeared on the sunfish's body. A piece of meat was gone just like that...

"How did this fish survive till today?"

Seeing that the sunfish continued to calm down and did not move much after being bitten, a younger crew member on the boat was amazed.

"It's too big and has a lot of meat!" Liang Ziqiang replied casually while enjoying the sea breeze. In fact, the healing ability of the sunfish is also quite strong.

"Let's drive over quickly. We encountered this fish as soon as we went out to sea. I really don't know what to say!" Zhou Hui urged.

Even if we avoid mentioning the word "sunfish", encountering a sunfish at sea is not a happy thing after all, and it does not have any good intentions.

Fishermen all believe this. Liang's father is sitting in the cab at the moment. He doesn't need anyone to remind him. He has already sped up the boat and moved forward...
