Chapter 249 Earthquake and Tsunami?

  Ye Yaodong got up to go to sea as usual at night, as long as there was no wind or big waves, they would all go to sea on time. After all, there are few good weather in winter, so they had to take advantage of the good weather to go out more times.

  The longline couldn’t be released today, and he didn’t go to collect the bait in advance. He forgot to tell his father and didn’t tell Ah Cailiu, so he left with the kingfish in a hurry.

  The sticky net can’t be put away, it needs to be cleaned and sorted out, and it needs to be dried, but fortunately, he can still drag the net.

  Thinking well, I trawled the net today, but as soon as the boat sailed out, I found that the wind and waves in the open sea were a bit strong. He thought of the legend of the earthquake fish, gave up decisively, and turned the bow of the boat directly to go back.

   Originally, they thought that they had never heard of an earthquake in their previous life, so it shouldn’t have any major impact. They didn’t expect that there would be storms and waves at night so soon. Things at sea are really unpredictable and fickle.

   It took more than an hour to sail the boat back and forth. After returning home, he explained to his wife, and he wrapped up the quilt again, planning to sleep in the cage again.

  I didn’t wake up until 9 o’clock. When I got up, I saw a clear sky outside. Although it wasn’t a big sun, there was also a faint sunlight. I couldn’t see the raging wind and waves at sea.

  He thought about it, and after talking to Ah Qing, he went outside the pier to have a look. If the waves outside were not too big, he planned to collect a ground cage.

  The small wooden boat could not withstand today's waves. If his iron boat hadn't gone out to sea, it would be no problem to put a cage on the coast.

   When we got to the pier, we found that there were quite a lot of people. They were all discussing whether there would be an earthquake because of the big waves at night.

  He listened for a while, but did not hear any useful information, but someone asked him how much the oarfish sold yesterday?

  He made a haha ​​casually, talked a lot, dealt with it directly, and then walked towards the coast, ignoring the whispered irresponsible remarks of the people behind him.

  It’s mediocre not to attract envy. He has been quite popular in the past few months. He has obtained rare and good goods one after another, and changed fishing boats one after another. It is normal for some people to look jealous.

   Watching the waves roll from time to time on the shore, this can only be seen on the surface. Only when you are at sea can you truly appreciate the ruthlessness of the waves.

After driving the boat away from the shore, the boat was constantly shaken by the impact of the waves, but his boat could still bear it. The small wooden boat not far away was not so stable. It's quite big.

   When his boat passed by, he glanced at it, only to realize that he was taking the ground cage home, and he was rowing towards the shore at the moment, but the waves were big, and the boat was rowing a little slowly.

   "It's Adong, why did you come out?"

   "I came out to collect a ground cage, why did you come out to collect the ground cage when the waves were so big?"

   "Isn't this afraid of an earthquake or tsunami? The waves are too big and the cage is washed away? Thinking that the weather is okay today, I hurried out to take back the cage. I don't know when the tsunami and earthquake will come."

   "Oh hehe, maybe not?"

   "It's hard to say, the weather looks good today, and there is no wind, but the waves on the sea are quite big, which is a bit abnormal!"

   "Okay, then be careful, I'm also going to collect a ground cage." Ye Yaodong said a few words casually and drove towards his place where the ground cage was placed.

   Along the way, no buoys were seen on the sea. It is estimated that the villagers came out early this morning to take home all the nets and ground cages that should be collected.

  He didn't plan to take it home, he took the goods, and threw the cage into the sea as usual, and the strong wind and waves meant that there were more goods. In his previous life, he didn't have any impression of it having a big impact, so he just ignored it.

  There are quite a lot of shrimps in the ground cages today. There are a few taels of shrimps poured out of each ground cage. Most of them are red shrimps, and occasionally there are some white shrimps.

  The local name of red shrimp is oyster shrimp in some places, and thick shrimp in some places. In fact, the scientific name is eagle claw shrimp. It is the most abundant in winter, and the harvest today feels more than 20 catties.

   There are also a lot of stone crabs. He touched them and they were still quite hard, suitable for drinking.

  He poured all the goods collected in the ground cage into the bucket without sorting.

  Because of the waves at night, there are quite a lot of goods in the cage today.

  After going ashore, he sorted and saved all the appetizers for the evening, and then left an extra two catties of red shrimp and two two catties of perch.

   This is to save and take it later to see Uncle Zhou who was beaten yesterday for driving a tractor. People were implicated by him, and innocent people suffered disaster, so he had to express it no matter what.

   Later, I will just send some fish over there to have a look, to see the people, and to pay the fare by the way.

   Today's ground cage harvest is also good, except for the leftover goods, the others are also sold for 20 yuan.

After he went back with the goods, he went to see Uncle Zhou again before dinner time, and chatted for a while. After knowing what happened last night, he was just punched and kicked, nothing serious, and some tea oil was applied. Good day, he also took advantage of the situation to leave.

After a peaceful day, the next morning everyone found that the waves on the sea were tumbling violently, with one layer higher than the next, and the soaring waves rolled higher than their houses from time to time. They stood It looked incomparably spectacular at the door of the house, but luckily I couldn't get in front of me.

  There are quite a few villagers standing around the shore, each worried, discussing that today's waves are stronger than the typhoon day, wondering if there might be a tsunami in the open sea? Or where did the earthquake occur? It caused the entire sea to roll.

  The sea did not stop all day long, and they could hear the sound of the waves churning and beating at home.

  The second sister-in-law and sister-in-law Ye next door both stood at the door and said that the house should not be built here if I knew it earlier. Although the waves couldn't hit me, it was too scary to hear...

  It seems to be close at hand, and the house can be washed away at any time...

  Ye Yaodong pretended not to hear everything, covered it all, and took up such a large vegetable field, and regretted it now? This will be a villa area in the future.

  The village was not very peaceful either. Everyone talked about it all day long, saying that an earthquake or tsunami was really coming.

  In the evening, even the old lady walked down and told them not to sleep too hard at night, and put all the money in the family in advance, so that they can take it with them in case of anything...

   also told him to move back to his hometown for two days.

Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. In order to reassure the old man, he could only nod his head in agreement. It's too much trouble to move. The three brothers have moved the bed in the old house, and the rooms have been given up. It was not easy to sleep in the past. .

   All he said was that he would wake up a bit at night before sending her back.

  That night, the village was also brightly lit. In order to save electricity, the villagers are reluctant to turn on the lights, and go to bed early at night.

Today's waves really shocked everyone. Reminiscent of the legend of the oarfish, everyone was a little scared, and they all held the attitude of believing in something rather than nothing, in case an earthquake or tsunami suddenly hit the house at night. If you rush, what should you do if you don’t have time to run?

  I heard that some people sat in front of their homes all night...

   I also heard that some people even packed up their belongings and carried them on their backs...

   I also heard that some family members hid in the mountains at night...

  Although Ye Yaodong's family was not so exaggerated, and they didn't turn on the lights until dawn, the couple didn't sleep either.

  In my previous life, the village was never so vigilant. Even if there was an earthquake or something, many people only realized it afterward.

  The power of his butterfly wings is too great. When he brought back an oarfish, the whole village was full of grass and trees. Otherwise, the waves are a bit big, and everyone just thinks it is abnormal, but it is not unacceptable, after all, it did not impact the village.

  Everyone in the village made perfect preparations, but the whole night passed until dawn, but nothing happened. Everyone couldn't tell what their mentality was, but it was true to breathe a sigh of relief.

  Early in the morning, just after dawn, many people stood around the coast.

   "Made, I was scared to death. The whole family didn't sleep all night. They thought there would be an earthquake and tsunami. I didn't expect to scare myself..."

   "Who said no, we sat there waiting in the middle of the night, but nothing happened until dawn..."

   "Don't mention it, we all ate the northwest wind all night on the mountain..."

   "It's all that oarfish. If it wasn't for that fish, everyone wouldn't think so much."

   "Is it possible that it hasn't happened yet, maybe today?"

   "Fuck, you crow mouth..."

   "It shouldn't be so, the waves on the sea seem to be not as big as yesterday?"

"Hard to say…"

   "Maybe the earthquake and tsunami occurred in other places, so we are not affected here, but the waves are a little bigger?"

  Ye Yaodong looked at the waves on the sea, and felt that it should have passed, but he didn't know where the tsunami or earthquake happened.

  There are people coming and going on the coast all day long, and everyone is paying attention to the tide, but the waves have been churning and it doesn't seem to be weakening.

  The villagers watched with concern as the sky darkened again. They did not dare to put back the packed things.

Then the whole village was cursing and cursing there early in the morning, saying that staying up for two nights was for nothing, and some people even brought Ye Yaodong with them when they were gossiping, and blamed him for bringing back a kingfish, which caused the whole village to be worried. guts.

When this word reached Mother Ye's ears, she stood at the door and yelled, "If my son doesn't bring back the oarfish, will there be no waves? He is not God, will there be an earthquake or a tsunami? Come on!" Where, what time, who knows?"

"Maybe I've been here before, but luckily it didn't happen to us, and the village wasn't affected, isn't it good? Everyone is full to eat, afraid and afraid, scolding and scolding, I just I don't believe you will not pick it up when you see it, you are all jealous of my son..."

  Mother Ye cursed, and the voices of the surrounding discussion became a little quieter.

  After Ye Yaodong heard about it, he didn't take it seriously. Whether there will be an earthquake or tsunami is none of his business. The oarfish is said to have a warning effect.

   But being picked up by him doesn't mean it will definitely happen to them, will it be affected, who knows? There is nothing wrong with being vigilant.

   Can you still blame him for picking it up? Who saw it and didn't pick it up?

  Turning around the village, he didn't go to the commune until after nine o'clock.

  He wants to read today's daily newspaper to see if there is any news? The sea has not been calm for the past two days, so something must have happened somewhere.

  It is a pity that information is not circulating at this time, and the Internet is not as developed as in later generations. The earthquake and tsunami in the first second will be known to the whole country in the next second.
