Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1384 What went wrong
When Ye's father heard the noise, he turned around and was instantly surprised.

"This... How come it's broken..."

He looked at the Buddhist beads scattered on the ground and rolling into the sea, and suddenly felt at a loss and a little panicked.

"How come the beads broke? Did you play with them on your wrist for too long? Did the string get frayed?"

Ye Yaodong's heart was pounding. This was not a good sign.

"I don't know if the rope is worn out, but it broke early or late, but it broke just when I was about to board the boat. This is unlucky."

"Yes, this is definitely unlucky. We definitely can't leave."

"Go to the ship and contact the other ships and ask them to slow down and not go out to sea. Also talk to the workers on the two ships that haven't left yet."

"Okay, I'll notify them right away. They've probably already sailed out of the harbor and are waiting outside."

After saying this, Father Ye hurriedly got on board.

Ye Yaodong squatted down and picked up the remaining Buddhist beads on the ground. At the same time, he was wondering if something had happened. Was it a warning or a disaster prevention?
Is it related to Chen Jianian?
Only half of the Buddhist beads in my hand were left, and I didn't know where the remaining half rolled to, and it rolled into the sea.

Since I couldn't find him, I had to give up.

When the workers realized they couldn't leave yet, they all ran over to ask what happened.

Ye Yaodong picked up the Buddhist beads in his hand and showed them to everyone, saying, "The Buddhist beads are broken. This is not a good sign. Don't leave yet."

"Is this given by the old lady at home? It would be unlucky if it broke. This is a Buddhist rosary with many sutras recited in it. How could it break for no reason?"

"Yes, this is ominous. The Buddhist beads are very mysterious at this time. We can't help but believe it."

"Brother Dong, then I don't have to leave today. Should I call back the other boats?"

"It was fine, but the Buddhist beads broke..."

"It must be a warning, or it could have prevented a disaster..."

……

When the workers saw the broken Buddhist beads, they were even more excited than he was. They spit everywhere and talked a lot.

Ye Yaodong put the beads back into his pocket and told them, "You guys just wait here. My dad will go and notify other ships to come back first. Just in case, we can't go out to sea today. I'll go back and make a phone call to notify them."

By the way, I would also like to ask about the situation at home. Does the broken Buddhist beads have anything to do with your family?
This was given to him by the old lady for protection. Could something bad have happened at home?
Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace and quickly squeezed into the crowded crowd to make a phone call to make sure if there was anything wrong at home.

If something happened at home, he would have to go back immediately.

Ye Yaodong was walking with all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, his heart was in his throat. This feeling of the unknown made him particularly uncomfortable. He felt that things were out of his control, and he was really worried that something might have happened to his family. The more he walked, the more panicked he became.

It wasn't until he called home and heard the old lady's attentive concern for him that he felt relieved.

He originally thought that if something really happened at home, it might be the old lady.

After all, she is indeed of this age, and the first half of the year was also the time when the old lady passed away in her previous life.

Now she can still ask him diligently when he will be back, and her tone shows that she is in a good mood. Does this mean that nothing else has happened at home?
"Is there nothing going on at home?"

"It's okay. Everything is fine at home. What could possibly happen? You need to be more careful and wear more clothes. It's a change of season now. You might have caught a cold. Don't take advantage of your youth and good health and ignore it..."

The old lady continued to talk in a rambling manner.

For every one sentence he said, the old lady could say 10.

Ye Yaodong didn't feel annoyed at the moment. Instead, he felt relieved after listening to it. As long as there was nothing wrong with everyone in the family, young and old, he was glad.

"When are you coming back? Didn't you say you would come back today? Have you set out yet? You're calling now. Where are you? Have you arrived in Vancouver? Have you already arrived in Vancouver? That's pretty fast. If we take the boat now, we'll be home in the evening..."

"No, how can it be that fast?"

There was a series of questions, and before he could answer the first one, she had already confirmed it herself, and then asked the second, third, fourth and fifth questions.

If I ask you a few more questions, I'll have to prepare some snacks for him.

"Where are you? How do you have time to call? Are you almost home? Then I'll kill the chicken quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Kill it and stew it for a few hours, and you can eat it as soon as you get back..."

"No, I haven't left yet. Don't worry. I'll stay for several days when I get back."

"Why haven't you set out yet? The sun is already shining brightly. Shouldn't you set out at midnight? I thought you were going to set out at midnight. Where are you resting at the shore now..."

The old lady continued to talk about what she thought.

Ye Yaodong interrupted her, "When we set out, the Buddhist beads broke, and I was worried..."

The old lady's voice suddenly rose, "The Buddhist beads are broken? How could the Buddhist beads be broken? This is unlucky..."

"Yes, my father and I both felt it was unlucky. We were worried that something might happen, or it might be a sign or a disaster. We didn't dare to leave. We thought we'd call home first to ask about the situation. I'd be relieved if everything was alright!"

"Everything is fine at home, so don't come back yet. Don't come back today. Come back a day or two later. Ouch, how come the Buddhist beads broke? Amitabha, this is not a good thing. Come back a few days later. I will go to worship the Bodhisattva later. Amitabha..."

The old lady was so worried that she kept chanting Buddhist mantras, thinking that it could help to ward off bad luck.

"I'm glad everything is fine at home. I won't be back today. Please tell Ah Qing that there are a lot of people waiting for me at the dock. I'm going to hang up first and won't wait for her to answer the phone."

"Okay, don't come back yet. I'll talk to her."

"Ah."

"Tomorrow I will go to the temple to ask for a string of Buddhist beads and offer them as an offering to keep you safe. Be careful when you go out. Nothing's wrong at home..."

"Bye."

"Hey, listen to your father if you have anything to say. Don't run around. Stay for two more days and don't rush back. Safety first..."

"Well, hung up."

"Okay, let's find a good day and come back. Then call me in advance..."

"Okay, hang up."

"Well, please be more careful when you go in and out. Don't go alone. Bring more people with you..."

Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly.

Don’t hang up yet, just talk to her for a while.

But before she could finish her words, A Qing ran back to answer the phone.

He had no choice but to repeat to Aqing what had just happened, and then listened to her recite something similar to what the old lady said.

He hung up the phone only after he had said enough.

"Oh my god, my head is so heavy."

He said that we can't call home for everything, so if there is something small, we can take turns to recite it over and over again.

Especially the older ones, they are the most talkative.

He shook his head and hurriedly trotted back to the dock.

This back and forth, plus the phone call, took more than an hour.

All the other fishing boats were called back by his father, and the people were all standing on the shore, all crowded together, chattering in the local dialect.

Seeing such a large group of people standing together, those who didn't know would think that they were some gang communicating and preparing for a gang war.

The fishermen passing by couldn't help but look sideways and keep their distance from them for fear of getting too close to them.

Even the red armband officers who were maintaining order at the dock came over to inquire.

"Dongzi is back..."

"came back."

"Dongzi, your father said don't go back today? It's unlucky."

Ye Yaodong panted, "Yes, I think it's unlucky, I won't go back. If you want to leave on time, you can leave now."

"Then you said it's unlucky not to return, and we definitely can't leave."

"Yes, the beads are broken. We definitely can't leave. We are all grasshoppers in the same boat..."

A large group of people were making a lot of noise and said they couldn't leave.

The red armband held a loudspeaker and shouted, "You guys from the Baisha Gang, stop gathering here..."

Ye Yaodong wondered, "Why is it the Baisha Gang?"

"We have been waiting for you here, so we attracted those people wearing red armbands. He asked us what we were doing here? Who were these people and where were they from?"

"We just said we were from Baisha Village, City C, Fujian Province, and were waiting for someone. We didn't cause any trouble."

"And then they didn't leave. They just stood there looking at us, and kept talking about the Baisha gang. Then they kept yelling at us to leave first. As they kept yelling, they turned into the Baisha gang."

Never mind, let them call you whatever they want.

Ye Yaodong said to everyone, "Let's go back first. Today doesn't look like a good sign, so let's take it slow."

"I checked the calendar with my dad yesterday, and the fourth day is also a good day, so let's leave it the day after tomorrow."

"Just rest at home for the next two days, or if you want to go shopping, go shopping. I didn't go out for a walk yesterday after I came back from the sea."

"Wait for two days, and set off at dawn the day after tomorrow. Stop in Vancouver in the evening to rest for the night, and then continue sailing back early the next morning. It will be the fifth day of the new year when we get home."

Everyone had no objection and responded one after another.

They had been discussing this for quite a while.

Father Ye also told everyone that tomorrow is not a good day for anything, but the fourth day is a day for travel, so it is just right to take a break for two days.

When they go out to sea, if there is a problem with the fishing boat, or problems occur one after another, they can't help but think too much and would rather take it slow than take a gamble.

No one can predict luck.

What's more, Buddhist beads have great significance.

They locked all the cargo on the ship into the cabin first, and then a large group of people rushed back.

About three or four hundred people were walking in the same direction, scaring the fishermen on the dock so much that they all moved out of the way, glared at them, pointed at them, and shouted, "People from Fujian Province."

Everyone discussed as they walked, and everyone said that they would worship Mazu first when they returned.

We had already prayed on the boat just now.

Whenever fishing boats go out to sea, everyone must worship Mazu, and they have to burn incense every day while at sea.

I broke my promise. I can’t make it until 3 o’clock. I can’t hold on any longer, so I’ll post a little bit first.

I was delayed today because I had something to do.

This chapter will be used to make up for today's update, to get 7000 words, and then a larger chapter will be made at 8 am tomorrow.
