Looking at the fishing boats of the Zheng family's father and son gradually moving away, Li Xiaoliang couldn't help but sigh and said: "You have to rely on your own compatriots when you go out!" ”

After listening to his exclamation, several people couldn't help laughing.

Han Minghua rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you have forgotten the situation in northern Myanmar!" ”

Listening to Han Minghua's words, Li Xiaoliang instantly became speechless, it is true that the compatriots in northern Myanmar will not only cheat you out of your money, but can even disassemble you and sell you!

And this situation is not only happening in northern Myanmar, but also Cambodia and the Philippines are also a hell for compatriots, and even in some other parts of the world, Chinese people can be said to like to be in the nest and tear each other down.

In the past, everyone said that Chinese did not deceive Chinese, but now Chinese deceive Chinese.

If there is a chain of contempt in the fraud industry, Li Xiaofeng feels that these people should be at the bottom of the chain of contempt!

What kind of ability is it to specialize in pitting compatriots, you learn from the three countries next door, and see what high-end operations are in other people's homes, it is said that you can take 20 billion US dollars from a beautiful country casually in a year.

The fishing boat continued to sail south.

In the afternoon, Li Xiaofeng, Han Minghua and Hu Dequan were eating fruits and snacks with some crew members in the restaurant, bragging and chatting.

Things like this were not uncommon on their fishing boats, and as long as he had time, he would ask Han Minghua and a few people to organize it every few days.

Because he thinks that this form of chat, don't look very casual, everyone seems to be chatting about homely things throughout the whole process, but it is the most conducive way to communicate with the crew, in the process you can understand their thoughts, and even give them a certain degree of psychological guidance.

Although everyone is an adult, being stuck on a boat for a long time, coupled with the heavy physical labor every day, will inevitably cause some negative emotions for everyone.

If these emotions are not channeled in time and allowed to accumulate slowly, they may even lead to serious consequences in the end, which is not uncommon in the history of world navigation.

"Brother Feng, there are a few small boats following behind our fishing boat!" Suddenly, Li Xiaoliang ran in a little out of breath, pulled him into the corridor outside the restaurant, and whispered.

"Are you sure you're following our fishing boat, aren't you passing by?" Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng also hurriedly looked up and asked.

He couldn't afford not to take this seriously, because he knew that although this sea area was one of the busiest international waterways in the world, it was not too peaceful.

You must know that to this day, some of the small islands near here are still entrenched by Philippine rebels, and the government army has been fighting with them for decades, but they have not been able to completely eliminate them.

And one of the sources of funding for these rebels is kidnapping and extortion!

This method is not only against their own people, but also on the list of merchant and fishing vessels that pass through them.

And there is some piracy on this shipping lane, so you don't think that Somalia is the only country in the world that has pirates.

There are also piracy activities in the Strait of Malacca, but because several neighboring countries have been more active in cracking down in recent years, these pirates are not as rampant as those in Somalia.

Not to mention, on July 22, 2019, there was a South Korean 40,000-ton merchant ship in this area, which was attacked by pirates, but fortunately they only robbed the ship's belongings, injured several crew members, did not take hostages, and did not kill the shipbuilding crew.

"I've been watching them for a while, and I'm sure they've been following our fishing boat all along, so I came to report!" Li Xiaoliang also knew the seriousness of the matter, and said solemnly, "I'm afraid of causing everyone to panic, so I only told you alone." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Li Xiaofeng also knew the seriousness of the matter, "You go back first and continue to observe, I'll go over immediately!" ”

Li Xiaoliang nodded, and hurriedly ran towards the deck again.

"Huazi, Lao Hu, you two continue to chat with you here, I have something to deal with." Li Xiaofeng returned to the restaurant and said with a smile to Han Minghou and Hu Dequan.

Although both of them also realized that something should have happened when Li Xiaoliang came over just now, they still nodded after listening to his words, and continued to chat with the crew pretending to be calm.

The reason why Li Xiaofeng did this was because he was afraid of causing panic among the crew members when the matter had not yet been clarified.

Speaking of which, this time it did make him feel that the defense strength of his fishing boat was insufficient, if there were really pirates coming, they would basically have no power to fight back!

When Li Xiaofeng came to the back deck, Li Xiaoliang was standing there, holding a telescope and observing the rear.

At this moment, two or three nautical miles behind their fishing boat, there were several black dots approaching them.

Taking the telescope handed over by Li Xiaoliang, Li Xiaofeng also saw a few small black dots behind him clearly.

They were three small dinghys of very narrow width but long length, and they were very fast, and they were constantly approaching them.

Looking at these gradually approaching boats, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help frowning, and he was also hesitating to let the fishing boat run at full power and go at full speed.

It's just that I hesitated to say that I didn't want to save fuel, although such a large fishing boat is indeed an oil-burning oil tiger when sailing at full speed.

Rather, he looked at the approaching dinghy and felt that they were a little different from the pirate ships, there were only one or two people on each of these dinghies, and the most important thing was that he did not notice what weapons the people on these boats were holding in their hands.

But if it's not pirates, what does it mean that these ships are chasing them?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Guangming, slow down our fishing boat slowly, and wait for a few dinghys behind to catch up." ”

"Roger, Captain!" Meng Guangming's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Putting down the walkie-talkie and looking at Li Xiaoliang next to him with a puzzled face, he said with a smile: "When they come over, you will understand." ”

As their fishing boat slowed down, and the speed of the boats behind them was indeed quite fast, it didn't take long for them to catch up.

When he saw clearly the contents of the several dinghys under the fishing boat, Li Xiaoliang couldn't help but be happy: "I didn't expect the dinghy that made me nervous for a long time to just come to sell fruits!" Isn't it like the one in our country who sells fruit on the side of the road, except that they put the fruit stall on the boat. ”

"That's right, this is a unique maritime mobile fruit stand here in Southeast Asia!" Thinking that he seemed to be nervous for a while, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but be happy.

Here, there are many people who drive small boats to sell fruits and seafood to ships coming and going, and even more so at anchorages.

And whether they sell fruits, seafood, or other supplies, they are all very cheap. Therefore, some ships are willing to buy from them.
