Chapter 248 Earthquake and Tsunami?

Ye Yaodong got up and went to sea as usual at night. As long as there was no wind or big waves, they had to go to sea on time. After all, there were less good weather in winter, so they had to go out more often when the weather was good.

It's just that the longline fishing couldn't be released today. He didn't go to collect the bait in advance. He forgot to tell his father and didn't tell A Cailiu, so he hurriedly carried the oarfish and left.

The sticky net cannot be put away either. It needs to be cleaned and tidied by someone, and it also needs to be dried, but fortunately, he can still drag the net.

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

They originally thought that they had never heard of an earthquake here in their previous life, so it shouldn't have a big impact. But they didn't expect that there would be wind and waves so soon at night. Things on the sea are really unpredictable and changeable.

He wasted more than an hour going back and forth on the boat. When he got home, he explained to his wife, then wrapped himself in bed again, planning to sleep again.

I didn't wake up until 9 o'clock. When I got up, I saw a clear sky outside. Although the sun was not bright, there was weak sunlight, and there was no sign of the storm and waves raging on the sea.

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

The small wooden boat couldn't withstand today's waves. If his iron boat had not gone to the open sea, it would still be no problem to collect a ground cage along the coast.

When we arrived at the pier, we found that there were quite a few people there. They were all discussing whether there was an earthquake due to the strong waves on the sea at night.

He listened for a while but didn't hear any useful information. However, someone asked him how much the oarfish sold for yesterday.

He casually made a haha, rambled a lot, dealt with it directly, and then walked towards the coast, regardless of the people behind him whispering nonsense.

He is mediocre if he does not attract jealousy. He has been quite popular in recent 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 be jealous.

Watching the waves rolling from time to time on the shore can only be seen on the surface. Only when you go to the sea can you truly appreciate the ruthlessness of the waves.

After driving the boat away from the shore, the boat was shaken by the waves, but his boat could still withstand it. The small wooden boat not far away was not so stable. With the ups and downs of the waves, the arc of the swing was Pretty big.

When his boat passed by, he took a look and saw that he was taking the ground cage home and rowing towards the shore. The waves were strong and the boat was rowing a bit slowly.

"It's A Dong, why are you out too?"

"I came out to collect the ground cage. Why are you running out to collect the floor cage when the waves are so big?"

"Aren't we afraid that there will be an earthquake or tsunami? The waves are too big and the ground cage will be washed away? I thought the weather would be okay today, so I hurried out to take the cage back. I don't know when the tsunami and earthquake will come."

"Oh haha, maybe not?"

"It's hard to say. The weather looks pretty good today and there's not much wind, but the waves on the sea are pretty big, which is a bit abnormal!"

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

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

He didn't plan to take it back home, so he collected the goods and threw the cage into the sea as usual. Strong winds and waves meant that there was a lot of goods. In his previous life, he didn't have much impression or influence, so he simply ignored it.

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

The local names for red shrimp are oyster shrimp in some places and thick shrimp in others. In fact, the scientific name is eagle claw shrimp. They are most abundant in winter. Today’s harvest feels like more than 20 kilograms.

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

He poured all the goods collected from the ground cage into buckets without sorting them.

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

After landing, he sorted it out and saved all the night's snacks, plus two more kilograms of red shrimp and two two kilograms of sea bass.

I'm going to save this for later and take it to see Uncle Zhou who was beaten yesterday for driving a tractor. People were implicated by him, and innocent people suffered disasters. He had to express his feelings no matter what.

I'll just send some fish over later to express my gratitude, check on the people, and pay the fare by the way.

Today's ground cage harvest was also good. In addition to the remaining goods, the others also sold for 20 yuan.

After he went back with the goods, he went to see Uncle Zhou again before dinner and chatted for a few words. After knowing what happened last night, he only received some punches and kicks, nothing serious. As long as the weather was good, he left.

After a calm day, everyone discovered early the next morning that the waves on the sea were rolling violently, with each layer rolling higher than the other. From time to time, the waves rising to the sky would roll higher than their house. They stood there. It looks so spectacular from the doorstep of my home, but luckily I can’t get close to it.

There were quite a few villagers standing around the shore, all of them worried. They were discussing that today's waves were worse than those on typhoon days, and they were all wondering whether there was a tsunami in the outer sea. Or maybe there was an earthquake somewhere? It caused the entire sea surface to roll.

The sea never stopped all day long, and they could hear the rolling and crashing of the waves at home.

Sister-in-law Ye Er and Sister-in-law Ye next door both stood at the door and said that if they had known better, they would not have built the house here. Although the waves could not hit them, they felt too scary to hear it...

It seems as if he is not far away, and the house can be washed away at any time...

Ye Yaodong pretended not to hear anything. He covered everything and occupied such a large vegetable plot. Now he regrets it? From now on this will be a villa area.

The village was not very peaceful either. Everyone had been talking all day long, saying that an earthquake or tsunami was really coming.

In the evening, even the old lady came down worriedly and told them not to sleep too much at night, and to put all the family's money with them in advance, so that if anything happens, they can run away with it...

He was also told to move back to his hometown for two days.

Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. In order to appease the old man's heart, he could only nod in agreement and refuse to move. It was too troublesome. The three brothers had moved the beds in the old house and gave up the rooms. It was not easy to sleep in the past. .

He only said that he would be more alert at night and then send her back.

That night, the village was rarely brightly lit. Usually, in order to save electricity, the villagers were reluctant to turn on the lights and went to bed early at night.

Today's waves really shocked everyone. Thinking of the legend of the oarfish, everyone was a little scared. They all had the attitude of preferring to believe it exists rather than believing it doesn't exist. If there is a sudden earthquake or tsunami at night, the house will be destroyed. What should I do if I rush and I can’t run away in time?

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

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

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

Although Ye Yaodong's family was not that exaggerated and did not turn on the lights until dawn, the couple did not sleep either.

In my previous life, there was no time when the village was so alert. Even if there was an earthquake or something, most of them were only realized after the fact.

His butterfly wings flapped with too much force, and when he brought back an oarfish, the whole village was in panic. Otherwise, the waves were just a bit big, and everyone just thought it was abnormal, but it was not unacceptable. After all, it did not impact the village.

Everyone in the village was fully prepared, but as a result, the whole night passed until dawn, but nothing happened. Everyone was not sure what their mentality was, but they were really relieved.

Early in the morning, just after dawn, there were many people standing around the coast.

"Made, I was scared to death. The whole family stayed up all night. I thought there was really going to be an earthquake or tsunami. I didn't expect that I was scaring myself..."

"Who says it's not the case? We sat there waiting in the middle of the night, but at dawn, nothing happened..."

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

"It's all that oarfish. If it weren't for that fish, no one would think so much."

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

"Fuck you, you crow's mouth..."

"It shouldn't be the case, it seems like the waves on the sea are not as big as yesterday?"

"Hard to say……"

"Maybe the earthquake and tsunami happened in other places, so our place was not affected, but the waves were just 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 occurred.

People were coming and going along the coast all day long, and everyone was paying attention to the tide, but the waves kept rolling and didn't seem to be weakening.

The villagers watched with concern as the sky darkened again. They did not dare to put the things they had packed away again. They held them in their arms and stayed up all night again. Nothing happened, so they felt relieved.

Then the whole village was there early in the morning, cursing and saying that they had stayed up two nights in vain. Some people even brought Ye Yaodong with them when they were gossiping, blaming him for bringing back an oarfish, which made the whole village feel worried. Courage.

When these words reached Mother Ye's ears, she stood at the door and yelled, "If my son doesn't pick up the oarfish, won't there be no waves? He is not God. Will there be an earthquake or a tsunami? Come on!" Where and when to come, who knows?”

"Perhaps we have been here before, but luckily it didn't happen to us, and the village was not affected. Isn't that okay? Everyone is full and strong, and they are afraid and afraid, and scolded again and again, so I just If you don’t believe you won’t pick it up after seeing it, you are all jealous of my son…”

Mother Ye cursed wildly, and the voices of discussion around her became a little quieter.

After Ye Yaodong heard about it, he didn't take it seriously. It was none of his business whether there would be an earthquake or tsunami. The oarfish is said to have a wake-up call effect.

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

Can you still blame him for picking it up? Who doesn’t pick it up after seeing it?

After walking around the village until after nine o'clock, he went to the commune.

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

It is a pity that information was not circulated at this time, and the Internet was not as developed as in later generations. An earthquake and tsunami one second could be known to the whole country the next.
