Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Ye Yaodong take out handfuls of money from his bag and count them.

"How come he has so much money..."

"Didn't all the money A Dong earned from bringing in fish go to remittances? You guys shouldn't be fishing there these days, right?"

"After we were caught, you were all fishing, right?"

The others responded.

Those people regretted it even more and felt that they were extremely unlucky. They were not responsible for the good deeds and none of the bad deeds.

"Damn it, you guys, there are just as many goods there as last year... What a pity..."

"Well, it's still raining outside. Otherwise, if we go back later, we might be able to salvage some more and earn a little bit, so as not to go home empty-handed."

"You have been in jail for several days and you are not in a hurry to go home. Are you still thinking about fishing for jellyfish?"

"Oh, it's miserable if I don't make any money, and I don't have the face to go back. Things are already like this. It's better to stay a few more days and earn some money, otherwise I won't be able to get the money to redeem myself."

"I'm also at a loss because of our long-term friendship. Lao Pei helped me advance the payment. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get out. I can just pay 300 yuan. The two boatmen on my boat were also arrested. I have to give them 600 yuan. I can't do it."

Why don't you pay for your trip and go back? You have to go to sea to earn the 900 yuan and give it back to Lao Pei."

"We'll talk about this when we get back. I don't know when the rain will stop."

The people in the front were settling accounts, while the people in the back stood at the corner door and chatted in whispers, asking about the scenes on the beach outside and their conditions while they were locked up these days.

Ye Yaodong paid 6 1,800 yuan one by one. After getting the handles of each fishing boat, he asked other people to pay.

Nowadays, the maximum denomination of a banknote is 10 yuan, and it takes a while to count 1,800 or 1,500. After he paid the money, he went to wait in the crowd near the door at the back and listened to everyone's chat.

"We came out first, and there were still a bunch of people inside. We were taken away from the front. It was said that someone was coming to redeem us, and everyone else was very anxious..."

"Yeah, everyone inside is going crazy..."

"We came here as soon as possible and walked in the heavy rain for several hours. Others thought it was troublesome in the rain and wanted to ask A Dong to redeem it, but they were scolded."

Ye Yaodong happened to hear it and said, "Whoever is on the ship will redeem it himself. Otherwise, if it is said later that I took the money and was greedy for it. And I don't have that much energy. I have it all on my own."

More than a dozen people want redemption."

"There are also ship bosses among them, and they have to ask their relatives and friends to come over to help redeem them. There are also boatmen working under the captured ship bosses. How can we redeem them?"

"Yes, how can I redeem the people related to them by myself? How can I ask others to redeem me? Lao Pei will help me redeem it. I will definitely admit it. The money must be returned to him..."

"It's really inconvenient on a rainy day. It's raining so hard. If we just ask the people inside to wait, others will come over soon to redeem themselves..."

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to stay any longer. I'd rather run out and get soaked in the rain..."

While everyone was talking about it, before the people who had bought a new boat came back, another policeman walked in through the back door and said something.

"You guys have been shouting and asking you to help redeem people. When will you redeem the remaining people?"

Ye Yaodong replied, "There are others who haven't come yet, but they will probably come tomorrow."

"Then let's lock it up first."

"I'm probably very anxious and angry..."

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

The two police officers were not in a hurry. As long as they were not allowed to go outside to get wet in the rain, it didn't matter when the people outside came back to complete the formalities. As long as they didn't delay getting off work.

Ye Yaodong looked at the waiting period and ran in from the door again to ask the two police officers.

"Comrade, when we boarded the boat, we were attacked by the locals and lost a lot of daily necessities, sundries, rice and other supplies. Now the people have redeemed them and the fishing boats have been returned to us. These supplies are

Can’t you give it back to us?”

"People were extraneous to the law and let you redeem them. The fishing boats were returned without any fines. Do you still want those supplies?"

He smiled and said: "Originally, we were the ones left behind. These people have been released and the fishing boats have been returned. There is no need to keep those things. Haha, the leader also said that we can take them back."

The two looked at each other, and then said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's move..."

"Then I'll come over and get it when it clears up? It's windy and rainy outside now, so it's not easy to move things, and the rice can't get wet in the rain."

"Um."

After Ye Yaodong got the approval, he walked out with a satisfied look on his face, just as the others also ran back from the wind and rain.

The pouring rain outside never stopped, and it was already 5 o'clock when everyone finished the formalities and came out, and the sky outside was also frighteningly dark.

On a sunny day, it doesn't get dark until 7 o'clock, but now on a rainy day it gets dark at 5 o'clock.

However, this did not affect everyone's mood at all. Everyone had smiles on their faces, some were happy to see the light of day again, and some were happy to find something missing.

Ye Yaodong bought the most during this afternoon trip. He bought 6 pairs, all of which looked relatively new; A Guang bought 2 pairs, one slightly newer and one older; his second brother and

Xiaoxiao also bought one each, both of which were old; and a cousin who rented his fishing boat also happily bought one.

Ah Zheng, Ye Yaosheng and others originally missed one, but after being reminded by Ah Dong, when they ran to the shore again, they were a step too late and were beaten by others. There was no local boat to choose from.

Originally, more foreign boats would be detained than local boats. The arrested people were smart enough not to surrender their boats. Relatives and friends were quick to take the fishing boats to other docks for refuge, and naturally they would not be detained and posted.

seal.

Everyone didn't dare to take risks because they didn't find something cheap, and they were also worried about being entangled and getting into trouble, so they had to give up.

There were two boat owners who had just been redeemed. Because they didn't make any money, they paid a capitation fee. Although they knew it was a bargain, they didn't have the money to buy the boat. They hadn't even paid the capitation fee, so how could they buy a boat?

Although my heart was moved, I never thought about it in the first place. I didn't even fight. When I got to the shore, I just checked my boat.

Most of his cousins ​​worked with him and didn't have the money to buy it. Some of the people who rented his boat didn't come out to redeem him in the afternoon.

Two of them were arrested, and he helped to redeem them. After all, he redeemed the people who let them rent his boat first. The head fee was recorded in the accounts and deducted from the monthly dividends.

Speaking of which, after being detained for so many days, everyone was happy to be able to come out again.

After everyone came out of the public security bureau, they immediately went to the shore. Although it was not suitable for sailing in such a heavy wind and rain, the newly acquired fishing boat had to be inspected first and the remaining seals were torn off before the weather was still up.

Completely dark.

Although Ye's father suffered a few days in jail, seeing Ye Yaodong making a lot of money again, he bought 6 more boats at once, and the second brother also bought one. The originally decadent look on his face became much more energetic.

Even in the wind and rain, everyone put on a smile and took the initiative to help him inspect the newly acquired boats.

After they finished checking, they returned to the waiting crowd on the shore.

"Are these boats we just got parked at the dock first?"

"It's not good. After all, these boats we bought belong to local people. If the relatives and friends of these boats know about it, and there will be trouble at the dock, it will definitely not end well."

"This is true, we can't stop here."

Ye Yaodong heard this as soon as he jumped ashore after checking, and immediately said: "Drive to the shelter, don't stop here, guarding against locals is one thing, but seeing as the weather has been windy and rainy recently, I feel like it might

There is a typhoon."

"I think so too. The tail of a typhoon must have swept by in the past few days, so it's been windy and rainy for so many days."

"Then we will drive to the shelter first, wait until the rain subsides and there is no wind, and then we can drive the boat to the city. This will also prevent the locals from seeing it."

"That's it..."

"Let's go..."

Fortunately, he had redeemed many people on this trip, so he was not afraid that no one would sail the boat.

Some people didn't buy a boat and didn't need to sail to the safe haven. A few of them just walked back first.

When Ye Yaodong and his group sailed the boat to the safe harbor and slowly walked back, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when they got home, and his main room was also packed with people.

The people who didn't go with him in the afternoon all gathered at his place. A large number of people gathered around talking and waiting for them to come back.

There is also a burning brazier in the middle of the main room.

"Finally back..."

"They're back..."

"But I haven't seen you come back yet, so I thought something happened. It's okay, okay..."

Ye Yaodong took off his raincoat and looked at everyone, "Where is the meeting?"

"I knew I would go with you this afternoon, but I didn't expect that I could buy a fishing boat."

"Stop talking about it for now, let them step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck. At the same time, take off all the clothes on their bodies. Don't take any clothes that are worn out. Throw them into the brazier and change into another one."

"Yes, let the people who have just returned step over the brazier first."

The people who had just been released quickly stripped themselves naked, stepped over the brazier, and then took the hard-boiled eggs given by others.

"Okay, okay, just step over the brazier. Everything will go well and be safe from now on."

"If you don't go to ransom people together this afternoon, you will probably be scolded to death if you go tomorrow."

"Isn't it inconvenient to think about rainy days? I want to wait for the rain to subside..."

"If there's anything to scold, you have to wait until I get money to redeem you, and you still dare to scold me."

"We all thought it was over now and we would have to go to jail, and our hearts dropped."

"The guards inside also said that we would have to be sentenced to at least one or two years. Everyone was so panicked that we didn't expect to be able to come out."
