after that.
I was busy until the afternoon.
Fang Hao and his companion then finished their work and returned home.
Three rounds of fishing nets were cast in total!
The luckiest rounds were the first and third, while the second round yielded only so-so results.
Luck is a tricky thing!
Moreover, the catch is closely related to the fishing conditions.
Fish are generally more active in the morning and afternoon, which usually results in a better catch.
The second round of netting took place around noon, which affected the fish catch to some extent.
but!
Even going out to sea today won't result in a loss!
After three rounds of fishing, we caught quite a lot of seafood.
The most common of these is the orchid crab.
I caught at least several dozen kilograms.
This made Fang Qiang and Fang Hao extremely happy, because the main task of today's voyage was to set up fish traps.
I never expected to have a catch from the fishing net.
Unfortunately, there were still too few fishing nets on the boat.
If you can get a few more nets, the catch can be doubled, since the fishing net is one of the factors that determines how many fish you can catch.
at the moment.
The fishing nets on the boat were a gift from my uncle.
Fang Hao hadn't had time to buy a new net yet, since he had only received the fishing boat yesterday.
We'll add more as needed!
"Um?"
"It looks like a boat has capsized up ahead."
Fang Hao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Unexpectedly, on the return voyage, they encountered a fishing boat capsizing.
It's common for boats to capsize at sea, and people even die from time to time.
Going to sea is inherently a high-risk operation!
Especially those small fishing boats.
Capsizing happens frequently!
"Yankees!"
"Get closer quickly!"
Fang Hao could see it clearly from afar.
The people who capsized were actually from his own village, which reminded him of a father and son who had indeed drowned at sea in his previous life.
At the same time.
After spotting their fishing boat, the other party frantically waved, shouted, and shook something to signal them.
This is a distress signal from the fishermen!
Basically, everyone who sees it will immediately go up to offer support and help.
After all, no one can guarantee that they won't be unlucky enough to encounter danger at sea one day.
Saving others is also saving yourself!
It's simply about accumulating good karma for the future.
"OK!"
Fang Qiang nodded.
Then increase the horsepower and speed.
As someone who lives by the sea, he knew the situation was urgent.
When a boat capsizes or someone falls into the water at sea, passing ships will usually rush to the rescue.
If there's even the slightest delay!
It might cost them their lives.
In the blink of an eye.
Fang Qiang then steered the fishing boat to the location of the capsizing accident.
Thirty kilograms?!
"Hurry up and grab him!"
Fang Hao shouted to the people in the water.
This sea area is mainly occupied by fishing boats from two or three surrounding villages.
It's normal to run into someone from your own village!
If they had arrived any later, the ship would have sunk.
It's important to know that fishing boats sink very quickly after capsizing, unlike what's depicted in TV dramas.
I'll have time to put on a Juliet and Romeo love story for you.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
"Ah-ba!"
"Thanks to you all this time—"
After being successfully rescued and brought aboard the boat.
Fang De'an said with a mixture of gratitude and lingering fear.
Unexpectedly, today I went fishing with my eldest son, Fang Yuanbin. Taking a chance, we went into deeper waters, and the fishing boat was capsized by a big wave.
The main problem is that his fishing boat is too small.
A storm came.
It flipped over right off the wheel.
The situation just now was extremely dangerous.
If it had been any later, the ship would have sunk and everyone would have perished. I can't even imagine what would have happened to my wife and children back home.
You have to understand that he and his eldest son, Fang Yuanbin, are the pillars of the family. If something happens to them, the family will collapse.
"Thirty kilograms!"
"Why did you come all this way?"
"Too dangerous—"
Fang Hao couldn't help but say.
Small fishing boats generally do not venture out to the open sea.
Now they've all run straight inside.
Isn't this putting yourself in danger? The further in you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
"well--"
"He took a chance for a moment."
Fang De'an sighed with regret and self-reproach.
I never imagined that my momentary wishful thinking would lead to such a terrible consequence.
Not only did they lose their fishing boat, which was their only means of livelihood, but they also almost lost their lives.
If Fang Hao's fishing boat hadn't discovered them, the village might have been in for a feast in a few days.
This place is more than ten kilometers from the shore.
Even just getting the boat back would require a lot of fuel, not to mention the people; if the boat capsizes and people fall into the water, they're basically doomed.
"Thirty kilograms!"
"It's good that everyone is alright."
Fang Hao could only offer a few words of comfort.
After all, who would encounter such a thing?
I won't be in a good mood!
"Um."
Fang De'an nodded.
Staring blankly at the spot where the fishing boat sank, he seemed lost in thought, as if he had lost his soul.
The fishing boat that the whole family depended on for survival is gone.
I don't know what to do next.
The relief of surviving the disaster was immediately replaced by heartache and regret caused by the enormous loss.
"Yankees!"
"Let's sail back first."
Fang Hao could understand the other person's feelings.
They didn't say anything more.
He then shouted something to Fang Qiang.
They happen to be heading back home anyway, so we can give them a ride.
As for the sunken fishing boat?
It's basically beyond saving.
"OK."
Fang Qiang nodded.
I express my sympathy for Fang De'an's plight.
Capsizing at sea is the thing fishermen fear most.
However, people cannot share the same joys and sorrows; they cannot understand or empathize with how desperate, helpless, and heartbroken the other person is at that moment.
All we can do is get them to shore!
Being alive is more important than anything else.
Even if the fishing boat is gone, we can still keep trying.
If the person is gone!
The whole family will be torn apart.
Previously, the main breadwinners of two families in the village had perished while sailing at sea.
Some wives simply abandoned their children and ran away.
Some orphans and widows live miserable lives.
This is why many relatives repeatedly remind you to be careful when going out to sea.
After all, you have to find food in the ocean!
That really meant hanging your head between your legs.
Danger could occur at any moment!
Only those who have actually sailed out to sea know that the ocean is fraught with danger, and that lives can be swallowed up at any moment.
An hour later.
At the fishing port pier.
Fang Hao's fishing boat returned safely.
"Thirty kilograms?"
"How did you end up coming back on Ah Ba's ship?"
soon.
Some people saw Fang De'an on Fang Hao's boat and were immediately filled with curiosity and doubt.
"The boat capsized in the waves—"
Fang De'an's eyes were slightly red and moist.
Even a man over fifty years old couldn't hold back his tears at this moment.
That's not just a ship.
At the same time, it is also the family's means of survival.
"What?"
"Your boat capsized at sea? Was it Ah Ba who saved you???"
"hiss-"
Exclamations immediately erupted from the crowd.
They were clearly shocked by the news.
For fishermen.
A shipwreck at sea is definitely a major incident.
There haven't been any boat accidents at sea in Fangzhuang for two or three years now.
Fang Hao, who was standing next to him.
Feeling the gazes cast upon him.
For a moment, he started to mutter to himself.
I should say I did something good.
It saved at least two lives.
You can accumulate some merit, more or less!
