Chapter 28: Shocking Everyone
Yun Linhai quickly walked to her side, kicked the sea wolf into the cabin with one foot, and held her to check.
“Are you hurt? Were you bitten?”
His daughter is tender, it would be bad if she got bitten.
Yun Jiao shook her head: “No.”
She was still jumping around.
Seeing that she was truly unharmed, Yun Linhai finally relaxed.
“Our Jiaojiao is really amazing.”
Yun Jiao’s eyes were bright, and she slightly raised her little chin, accepting her father’s praise.
“Father, let’s fish!”
She wanted to continue.
“Okay, Jiaojiao, you continue, Father will watch you from the side.”
Yun Jiao nodded, holding the fishing rod bravely and proudly continued, and then caught another sea wolf.
The subsequent fish caught were all sea wolves, and Yun Linhai couldn’t help but look into the sea.
“Could it be that a school of sea wolves is passing by us?”
He slapped his thigh: “What a pity we don’t have a fishing net on the boat!”
Without a fishing net, they could only fish honestly, but seeing that every sea wolf Yun Jiao caught weighed no less than five jin, he regretted it even more.
What’s the difference between this and immense wealth falling into one’s lap and not catching it.
After about half an hour, the fish they finally caught were no longer sea wolves.
The bait was also gone. Yun Linhai calculated that the fish they had caught this time, including about twenty sea wolves, would weigh over a hundred jin.
Hiss…
So his daughter earned fifty yuan just with that fishing rod?
“Father, it’s broken.”
Yun Jiao came to Yun Linhai with the broken fishing rod, pouting her little mouth and looking unhappy.
Yun Linhai was suddenly enlightened, his daughter actually caught so many fish with this small broken fishing rod before it broke!
He picked up the fishing rod and took a look; it was actually solid bamboo.
And it was very well-processed.
No wonder it lasted so long, and it felt a bit heavy in his hand.
No, was his Jiaojiao’s strength a bit too great?
“Father will make you a new one another day.”
However, solid bamboo is not easy to find, and if not processed well, it cannot withstand such large fish.
With no bait and a broken fishing rod, they could no longer fish and returned home cheerfully.
And at this time at home, the whole family was anxiously looking out from the dock.
“Why haven’t they returned yet?”
The more they thought about it, the more scared they became, and everyone’s face was a little pale.
Logically, it shouldn’t be like this. The sea was calm today, and with Yun Linhai’s boating skills, he shouldn’t be unable to return home.
Old Master Yun was also anxious: “If I had known, I would have gone with them. Linhai has never been so unreliable before.”
Just as they were despairing and preparing to borrow a boat to look for them, the shadow of a small wooden boat appeared within everyone’s sight.
“Look, is that it?”
It was still a bit far and not very clear.
But they were very familiar with the figures of their family members.
Especially Shen Yunlian, as it got closer, she covered her mouth and wept with joy.
Then the whole family ran over.
Yun Linhai and Yun Jiao on the boat also spotted them and immediately waved their hands in greeting.
“Father, Mother, Xiaolian!”
Yun Linhai’s voice was quite loud, and the sea breeze carried his voice to the ears of the people on the shore.
“It’s really them, they’re back, they’re finally back.”
The people around were also happy for them, thinking something had happened.
“Stinky kid, you got into trouble buying a boat, and now you’re back!”
After the joy and excitement, Old Master Yun scolded him grumpily, wishing he could chase and beat him like when he was a child.
When the small wooden boat docked, Yun Linhai happily and innocently disembarked with Yun Jiao, but instead of a welcome from his family, he received a beating.
Especially his father, who was still strong and hit very hard.
Yun Jiao was held aside by Granny Yun.
“Stinky kid, you still know how to come back. You went to buy a boat, where did you go? Do you know how long we’ve been waiting for you?!”
Shen Yunlian couldn’t help but pat his arm with red eyes.
Yun Linhai then realized how long they had been delayed on the sea and immediately felt guilty. He dared not resist and squatted down with his head in his hands to take the beating.
Shen Yunlian also felt heartache: “Father, stop hitting him, he knows he was wrong.”
Old Master Yun snorted and then slowly put on his shoes.
“Father, I was wrong. Jiaojiao and I were fishing at sea and didn’t notice the time.”
Yun Jiao, held by Granny Yun, nodded like a pecking chick.
She also hugged Granny Yun tightly with a little fear, her little mouth pursed.
If Father is beaten, then I shouldn’t be beaten anymore.
“Fishing?”
Obviously, no one at home blamed her; instead, they comforted her, fearing she was frightened.
“Yes, Father, you don’t know how many fish Jiaojiao caught with one fishing rod.”
Yun Linhai took them onto the boat and opened the cabin, looking at the wriggling sea wolves inside, and was stunned.
No, didn’t Yun Linhai go to buy a boat? Why did he also catch so many fish?
“Jiaojiao caught them?”
How could this sound so unbelievable?
Such large sea wolves have considerable power when struggling in the sea; even adults would need considerable effort to pull them up.
Father Yun: “Let’s pick up the fish and take them to Awang first.”
After this ordeal, although the sea wolves were still alive, their vitality was not as good as before.
Old Master Yun and the others were experienced fishermen and quickly caught all the fish inside.
“There are some other fish here too.”
Yun Linhai took out a bucket.
Sea wolves are ferocious and would bite other fish if kept together, so Yun Linhai had packed the fish Yun Jiao had caught earlier separately in a bucket.
“Good, good, good… this is a great start for us, a good omen!”
There were other people at the dock too. They were already surprised that Yun Linhai’s family bought a boat. Recently, their family had been building houses and buying boats, becoming the center of discussion in the entire village.
They didn’t expect that on the first day of buying the boat, they would bring back such a large harvest.
“So many sea wolves, and they’re all quite large. They must have encountered a school of sea wolves!”
“Linhai, did you net them? You’re so lucky to encounter a school of sea wolves right after buying a boat. But this doesn’t seem right, is that all?”
If they encountered a school of fish, one cast of the net would yield more than just a few.
Although these few sea wolves were large, their number was too small.
Yun Linhai said happily: “No, we caught them with a fishing rod.”
“A fishing rod?!!!”
The surrounding people were immediately shocked.
“You really caught these with a fishing rod? All of them?”
What kind of fishing rod could catch so many large fish?
“Yes, really used a fishing rod, with squid caught as bait. Good luck, good luck…”
“Make way, we’re going to sell the fish.”
Awang’s purchase point was not far away, and the fish were still alive when they were brought there.
Awang’s eyes lit up when he saw them.
“Such large sea wolves, Uncle, you are very lucky.”
Old Man Yun said cheerfully: “Quickly put them on the scale.”
Twenty-one sea wolves, one hundred and thirty jin.
