Chapter 385 The best dishes come last
The black-bottomed boat on the right was directly hit by the Xusheng and tilted to the left. The bottom of the boat fell back to the sea level. The fishing boat emitted several puffs of black smoke, shook for a long time before stopping, and then stalled.

The Shunfeng also collided with the fishing boat in front at the same time. The two ships were about the same size, but the Shunfeng was a new ship with a faster speed and more horsepower. The pirates on the Black Bottom ship were knocked dizzy and wailing.

Some fell directly into the sea, while others fell and hit the side of the boat, holding their bleeding heads. Before they could stand firmly, they were shot in the legs by Li Changle and his three men.

Chen Yongwei and Wang Xincheng took up the grappling hooks, hooked the robber who had fallen into the water, dragged him onto the deck and started beating him up. They punched him on the body with their fists as big as bowls, and every punch hit the flesh. Besides the screams, there was also the muffled “bang bang” sound.

Chen Amao, who was lying on the roof of the cockpit, gave Li Changle and his brother a thumbs up, “It’s so satisfying, so enjoyable!”

Li Changle gave him a thumbs up, “Boss Chen, you’re great!”

Chen Amao gestured to him, and the three of them stood up together, stood on the roof of the cabin, and pointed their guns at the people on the boat.

“Everyone, get out here, put your hands over your head and roll onto the deck, or don’t blame me for my gun not recognizing you.”

Some of the people on the boat had their foreheads hit, some were shot in the arms and legs, and one or two of them stood on the deck with their heads in their hands, like lost dogs.

After robbing fishing boats at sea for so many years, this is the first time that they have been robbed by a fishing boat. When did these fishermen become willing to spend money to buy equipment?

Li Changle counted the number of people on the opposite boat, including those who were dragged aboard and beaten up by Chen Yongwei and his men. The total number was the same as the number they had just seen.

After thinking about it, he became worried that there might be pirates hiding in the crew’s rest cabin.

“Brother, you watch from up there, I’ll go down and take a look.”

“I’ll go down, you watch from upstairs.” Without waiting for his response, Brother Li jumped onto the deck, and Chen Amao also jumped down.

Chen Yongwei and Chen Amao led people to hook the fishing boats with grappling hooks, merged the fishing boats, jumped onto the black-bottomed boat, and kicked a leader.

“You son of a bitch, you have such a nice boat, but you don’t fish well to make money. I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”

“Please spare our lives, sir. We all make a living on the sea. We swear that we will never do that again. Please spare our lives, sir…”

“Bah! You are not worthy to say that we all make a living on the sea. You dog robbers, if it were the old days, I would have thrown you into the sea to feed the fish.”

“First string them together and tie them up.”

“Okay, big brother!” Chen Yongwei and Wang Xincheng took the three pirates from the Xusheng back to the Black Bottom Boat, tied them up with fishing ropes, and beat them up again.

Brother Li looked at the gunshot wounds on the legs, shoulders and arms of these robbers and felt that once these guys were rescued by a fishing boat, they would not be able to work on a boat anymore.

On the black-bottomed boat next to him, Chen Amao grabbed A Tai, who was kicking several pirates, and said to the young man standing behind him who looked reluctant:
“Ah Chan, these people are robbers. They stole all the fish on the boat. If you pity them and show them mercy, they will never show mercy to you when you are caught by them. If you don’t believe me, ask A Tai.”

A-Tai said in a deep voice: “A-Chan, my father was killed by pirates. These beasts are not human at all.”

“I understand, Uncle A Tai, my dear uncle!” Only then did A Can understand why Brother A Tai had been so fierce just now.

After beating these people up, Brother Li brought Chen Yongwei, Chen Amao brought Acan, and the four of them checked the two boats. When they found no hidden robbers, they began to check the supplies on the boats.

Brother Li and Chen Yongwei opened the cargo hold and the live hold, only to see that there were already a lot of fish inside. They found two engines in the cabin, several trawl nets, hand-cast nets, and a lot of sticky nets.

Chen Yongwei found several boxes of bullets and a few fish knives in a wooden box, and there was also a lot of grain and oil in the kitchen.

“Brother, these engines and fishing nets must have been stolen from other boats.”

“They specialize in doing this kind of thing. They plunder all the supplies on the boat and then throw you on board. If you are lucky, you will be rescued by a fishing boat soon. If you are unlucky, you don’t know how long you will drift on the sea.”

“They should be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.” Chen Yongwei said hatefully. He felt that his father might have been robbed by these pirates.

Brother Li stopped, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, “Awei, we are not robbers. It is better not to kill people unless it is absolutely necessary!”

Chen Yongwei looked at him and nodded, “Don’t worry, brother, I’m just talking!”

“Yes!” Brother Li took him to the driver’s cab. After entering, he saw that the Queen Mother of Heaven was enshrined inside. He hurriedly tidied his clothes, walked forward and bowed respectfully several times, muttering something.

Chen Yongwei also stepped forward and bowed, “Brother, I think it is most likely these bandits who did this. Even the Queen of Heaven couldn’t stand it anymore, so she asked us to deal with them.”

“Yes, how could the gods bless people like them?” Brother Li picked up the intercom and unplugged the maritime radio. “Let’s go to the oil tank and take a look.”

“Okay!” Chen Yongwei carried the rifle he picked up in the cab and went down to the oil tank with him. He found that there was still a lot of diesel inside.

Brother Li turned around happily and said, “Awei, go out and get someone to move the things.”

“Hey!” Chen Yongwei grinned, “Brother, let’s dismantle all the machinery on the boat and let them have a taste of what it’s like to drift on the sea.”

Brother Li nodded, “Okay!”

Over there, Chen Amao took Ah Chan for a look around, and when he saw the spoils on the boat, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. “Haha, it turns out that helping others is helping yourself!”

“Uncle, are all the things on this boat ours?” “Yes, all the things on that boat belong to Boss Li and his people, and all the things on this boat belong to us.”

“I see there are a lot of fish in the cargo hold. If we move them all back, our cargo hold will be full.”

“Yes, it’s full!” Chen Amao recalled the last time he was chased. “These dog bandits always chased us in the past. This time, I finally got some relief.”

Ah Chan picked up the rifle he had picked up and said, “Uncle, I want to learn how to shoot too. If we encounter pirates in the future, we will fight them!”

“Pooh, pooh, pooh! Children’s words are beyond measure. What little kids say is not reliable!” Chen Amao patted him on the head again. “What did I tell you when we got on the boat? If you don’t remember, don’t go out to sea with me in the future.”

“Uncle, I was wrong. I will pay more attention next time.”

“Go back and help with the work.”

“Oh!” Achan jumped back to Shunfeng with a gun in hand.

Chen Amao jumped onto the black-bottomed boat controlled by Li Changle and his team. As soon as he got on the Xusheng, Li Changle came out of the cockpit. Seeing him, he quickly clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

“Boss Chen, thank you! Thank you!”

“You’re being polite!” Chen Amao patted his shoulder and laughed heartily, “Why should I thank you so much?”

Li Changle also laughed, “I’ll cook a few dishes when we get back to Turtle Island, and we’ll drink!”

“It’s okay to drink.”

“Now that you’ve finished reading it, are you satisfied?”

“I’ve checked. The hold is full of fish and food!” Chen Amao smiled and patted his shoulder. “Get ready to move the goods and dismantle the machinery back to Turtle Island!”

Li Changle smiled and said, “Okay, roll up your sleeves and get to work!”

“Yes, roll up your sleeves and get to work!” After Chen Amao said that, they both burst into laughter.

Hearing the sound, Second Brother Li came out from the cab, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries again. At this time, First Brother Li and Chen Yongwei also returned to the Xusheng, carrying a sack.

A few people talked about the situation on the black-bottomed ship and prepared to eat first before working.

Li Changle went to the kitchen and saw an iron pot full of rice cakes. He lit the fire to heat it up, and then everyone started eating.

On the Shunfeng, Chen Amao and a few others were also holding the rice noodles that had been mixed into a ball and eating them with big mouthfuls.

After eating and drinking, the two groups boarded two black-bottomed boats respectively.

The cargo hold was opened, and Brother Li and Chen Yongwei jumped down from the hold and delivered baskets of fish to the deck. Li Changle and others quickly moved towards the Xusheng.

Thirty or forty baskets of cuttlefish, more than a hundred baskets of cobia, hairtail, mackerel, sea bass, more than forty baskets of small yellow croaker, more than twenty baskets of large yellow croaker were carried out from the black-bottomed boat…

There weren’t many fish in the live hold. There were about four or five hundred kilograms of eels, more than a thousand kilograms of swimming crabs, orchid crabs, and blue crabs, as well as two large groupers.

Li Changle calculated that he had moved more than 50,000 kilograms of fish in total. He would return to catch some more, collect the longline fishing rods, take a rest, and then return.

After the fish were moved, the next thing was the food and oil supplies, and finally they began to dismantle the net-lifting machine and the engine on the boat… Everything that the few people could dismantle was dismantled.

By the end, the Black Bottom Ship was little more than a shell.

The pirates who were tied to the deck watched helplessly as they dismantled all the items on the ship. Not only did they feel physical pain, but they also felt heartbroken.

Li Changle and his companions moved all the things onto the Xusheng. They turned around and saw Chen Amao, Acan and the other two were still carrying things. They asked Brother Li to guard the driving cabin, while Wang Xincheng cooked and took his men onto the black-bottomed boat to help.

Seeing them coming to help, Chen Amao handed him the wrench and said with a smile: “I think you are good at taking things apart. I tried to take it apart for a long time but couldn’t.”

“Okay, leave this to me, and you can take away everything that can be taken away from the cab.”

“Okay!” Chen Amao and Li Erge brought a few people and dismantled all the mechanical equipment in the cab like a swarm of locusts, and moved everything to the Shunfeng.

At this time, it was already past five in the afternoon. They had been busy here for four hours, and the sun was already setting.

Li Changle and Chen Amao were both worried about the islands and reefs not far away, which were the base camp of these pirates. They returned to their ships, started their engines and circled to the southwest. Seeing that there were no fishing boats chasing them, they dropped their trawls and headed towards Huzi Island.

The two fishing boats, dragging the last net of the day, arrived at Turtle Island at around seven o’clock, almost eight o’clock, and it was already dark.

Today was almost like a war, and no one had much hope for this last catch.

When he heard the creaking sound of the winch, Li Changle perked up, “Comrades, it looks like the best dishes will be saved for last!”
