Ocean Fishing Master

you even have a wife?” his third uncle retorted.

“Hahaha!”

Everyone laughed and began to load their belongings onto the boat.

It was Yang Xiaolong’s first time on a large boat.
The boat was about two stories high, with a length of at least thirty meters.
The equipment on the boat was also quite complete, with many things he didn’t recognize.

This was only his second time going out to sea.
If Grandfather Jing knew, would he hit him with his crutch?

“Jing Tian, you take the daily necessities up, I’ll take the fishing net.”

“Okay.”

Today, Jing Tian was dressed in casual sportswear, with long, slender legs and a well-proportioned figure, exuding vitality.

There weren’t many restrooms on the ship, besides the cockpit, there was only a live fish tank and a refrigerated room for ice.
The restrooms were separated by wooden boards into three small rooms.

Because Jing Tian was a girl, they gave her one room and the other two rooms were rotated for the others to take turns to rest.

Since Yang Xiaolong didn’t know how to drive the ship, he could only do some easy chores when they were at sea.

After all the items were loaded, Yang Xiaolong locked up the electric bike and went to the security office to say hello and buy some cigarettes.
There were many people on the dock, and it was best to be careful, as a set of batteries could cost several hundred dollars.

“Beep~”

The sound of the large ship’s horn echoed as the propellers beneath the hull began to turn.
The roaring sound of the powerful engine made Yang Xiaolong, who was standing on the deck, even more excited and thrilled, despite not being his first time at sea.

“Young man, while we’re still sailing, why don’t you take some rest? What are you looking for?” Uncle Jing walked over with a cigarette in his mouth.

“I’m just wondering, where are we heading this time?” He boarded the ship in a daze and now realized he didn’t even know where they were going.

“You’ll know when we get there.” Uncle Jing teased.

Later, Yang Xiaolong learned that every fisherman had their own secret sea area, and they wouldn’t casually reveal the location where they found big hauls.
Without accurate coordinates and navigation, even if you had been there before, it would be useless.

Back in the rest area, Jing Tian was tidying up the bedding, which was actually just a wooden board fixed with iron frames, without even a footrest.

“Brother Long, you can sleep on top later,” Jing Tian said as she took a cardboard box and laid it on the aisle.

“It’s okay, I’m tough enough to sleep anywhere, and it’s even cooler on the floor.”

Yang Xiaolong helped take the cardboard box and quickly flattened it.
When he lay down, he was surprised to find that it was quite comfortable to sleep on the big boat, unlike on a small boat where it would sway a lot.

He had planned to play with his phone for a while, but the signal at sea wasn’t very good, so he decided to take a nap.

“Ah ~ ha.”

Yang Xiaolong woke up and couldn’t see anything in the dark.
He checked his phone and it was already after eleven at night.
Moonlight shone on the sea, reflecting little glimmers of light.

He sat up, and Jing Tian was cooking with an electric rice cooker beside him.

“Wake up!”

“Yeah, I slept too much.”

“The food is ready, I boiled two eggs for you.”

“Thank you.”

The boat seemed to have slowed down, not as fast as during the day.
According to the time, they had been sailing for five or six hours and were probably close to the designated sea area.

After finishing their meal, they played cards in the control room.
They didn’t seem to be in a hurry and were all old hands at this.

“Are you going to pass on two?”

“Pair of kings.”

“Haha, hurry up and pay up.
No reneging on thirty from each player,” Bald Jing’s second brother grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.

The other three players grumbled and reluctantly handed over their money.
It was strange today.
Jing’s second brother usually had terrible luck and lost nine out of ten times, but tonight he won continuously all evening.
No one knew what stroke of luck he had.

While Jing’s second brother was collecting the money, he saw Yang Xiaolong approaching and asked, “Do you want to play a few rounds?”

“No, you guys continue to play.”
