Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1385 Earthquake
The group of people returned home and sat at their respective doorsteps to talk.

Hundreds of people were gathered together, and they were frightened again when they saw the workers building the house.

But after a while, everyone ran out again.

Since they couldn't leave, they could only stay for another day or two. Now they were bored and decided to go wandering around. It happened that they got their salary last night and hadn't gone out to spend money yet.

On the way, Ye's father also asked about Ye Yaodong's family situation, and everything was fine, so he didn't think about it anymore.

"Tell me, why did the Buddhist beads break?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? It could be a coincidence, or it could be that it hasn't happened yet. Anyway, I'd rather believe that something is wrong. Let's wait for two days. If you want to go out now, you can go with them. I won't go out."

He was outside all day long, and now there was nothing good for him to go out for.

The Buddhist beads are broken, maybe something bad has happened. If he goes out for a stroll and something bad happens, he will be doomed.

After all, those were the Buddhist beads on his hands.

You can go shopping anytime, but he didn't go anywhere these two days and just stayed at home.

"Then I'll go out with everyone. We've been staying on the sea and haven't been around much..."

"Go."

Ye Yaodong sat on the steps at the door, biting a straw and watching the workers across the street working. He was so bored that he didn't want to work.

Looking at the two dogs wandering back and forth in the yard, he could only torment them.

He waved to the dogs, "Come, come, come..."

When the two dogs heard this, they immediately ran towards him happily, then put their front paws on his legs and tried to lick his face with their tongues. He slapped them one by one.

"Go, go, go, go, isn't that disgusting?"

After beating them, he patted their heads again, pointed to a big pot beside him and said, "See? I'll boil some water right away..."

The two dogs got off him out of fear, barked a few times, and then backed away while barking...

"Coward, are you afraid of boiling water in a pot?"

Ye Yaodong stood up and really walked towards the big pot. Then he stuffed the straw in his mouth into the stove, grabbed another handful of straw to start a fire, and added water to the pot.

The dogs looked at the blazing fire and ran further away.

It feels like this time it’s real!

"You are so useless. You are running away now? Come back here. I will give you a bath..."

He shouted and chased the two dogs, but the two dogs avoided him and ran around the yard.

I'm really worried about putting it in the pot.

If the two bitches and puppies that had just given birth couldn't be washed, he wouldn't have been staring at the two running around the yard.

He was running so hard that he was out of breath, but the two dogs refused to come near him. Normally, they would want to grab him when they saw him.

Ye Yaodong was so tired that he slumped down beside the pot, too lazy to move.

He waited until he stopped moving and ignored them, but after a while, the two dogs actually came over on their own initiative.

He caught one directly and held the dog's head, "You have walked into a trap."

He then asked someone to fetch a bucket of cold water and used a ladle to wet the dog. As a result, the dog shook its hair and the water droplets splashed onto his body and face.

"Fuck! Stupid dog, stop moving. If you move again, I'll chop off your head and cook it in the pot!"

Ye Yaodong was dirty and wet anyway, so he simply hugged the dog, rubbed its body with soap, and rubbed its hair back and forth.

This time the dog squatted obediently and let him rub it. After its whole body was covered with bubbles, he poured warm water over it from head to toe, rinsing it clean.

Then I wiped it dry with a rag, let it walk to the side to shake off the water droplets, and squat on the side to bask in the sun.

The weather is not very cold now and the sun is strong, so I am not worried about the dog getting sick.

Once one is solved, the other one will be easy.

When he was halfway through washing, people who had gone out shopping started to come back one after another because it was time for dinner.

"Oh, you're giving the dog a bath? Why not just let it swim a couple of laps in the river?"

"I was bored and didn't go out, so I just messed around." He said while making bubbles for the dog.

"Why don't you go out?"

"Brother Dong's Buddhist beads broke, and he was worried about accidents, so he didn't go out."

"Then you'd better stay at home."

"Dongzi, do you think it might be related to the encounter with Chen Jianian?" The person who asked the question was A Guang.

"I don't know. At that time, they said it was on the way. It just so happened that the cargo ship was going to the provincial capital. It was a cargo ship, not his own ship. The cargo ship carried people and goods. It left at the specified time."

"I didn't expect to meet this person again. I thought I would never see him again in this life."

"who knows."

"Do you think he will resent us?"

"How would I know? We were in a hurry, so we just chatted for a few minutes. He asked about the situation in the town, but he didn't say anything else."

"It's better not to see you again."

"I hope so," Ye Yaodong said as he washed the dog, "I hope everyone I know will become wealthy, have a happy family and career, and be happy."

"Oh, that's wishful thinking. Everyone has his own destiny."

Ye Yaodong didn't respond, but Ye's father came over and said.

"You don't even want to take a bath yourself, and you're giving the dog a bath?"

"If I don't wash the dog, should I wash you?"

"When I am old, you can wash me. I will wake up with a smile in my dreams, and I will be able to lie down when I die."

"What a simple wish! If you can walk behind my mother, and no one gives you a bath, I can do better and ask a little sister to give you a bath!"

Everyone laughed
The expression on Ye's father's face changed again and again, and after a long while he managed to utter, "Nonsense."

"Haha~" Ye Yaodong laughed, patted the dog's head, and let the dog go to the side to shake off the water droplets and bask in the sun.

After lunch, everyone went out for a stroll. It was a rare opportunity that they didn't have to work, and it was relaxing and they had money, so everyone was very happy.

He also did not forget to tell his father to go to the dock in the afternoon to check on the cargo on the ship, and he also arranged for two people to stay on the ship to prevent anyone from picking the lock and stealing the cargo.

Although not to the extent that there are so many fishing boats docked at the pier.

But we have to be on the safe side and arrange for two or three people to sleep on the boat at night, and then take turns tomorrow, with three shifts in the morning, noon and evening, so that they can go out for a stroll during the shifts.

By the next night, when we were about to set off, everyone had a lot more luggage in their hands, all of which were the spoils of the past two days.

"It seems nothing happened these two days..." Ye's father muttered that he was cheated.

"Isn't it good that nothing happened? No one lied to us, we were just being vigilant."

For something like this, it is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.

"It would be best if nothing happens. It will only delay it for a day or two." Ye Yaopeng said.

"Yeah, I just hope everything is safe and sound. Let's go quickly."

Everyone also stepped up.

The luggage and goods were all moved onto the boat, so everyone traveled light and there was no need to take a car, they could just walk.

When we got close to the dock, there was a stark contrast between the front and the surroundings. The front was as bright as day, with people coming and going, just like a busy city.

There was total darkness around them, and the only sound was the silence of their conversations.

When we got onto the dock, everyone felt that there were an unusually large number of people on the dock tonight. It was so crowded that it felt like there was no way to squeeze in.

In the past, no matter how many people there were, it could still be circulated.

"Why are there so many people at night?"

"What day is it today? Why are there so many people at the dock?"

"Don't these people want to go out to sea? Why are they standing there chatting? Aren't they usually preparing to board the ship?"

When this was said, everyone felt strange.

In the past, at this time, people were either boarding ships or unloading cargo at the shore. Everyone was very busy and had no time to stand there and chat.

But tonight, people were just gathered in groups of three or four talking, and not many people were busy.

"What tsunami are they talking about? What about fishing boats?"

People heard a slightly different sound, a bunch of dialects mixed with a few scattered Mandarin words.

Just those few scattered words of Mandarin scared them.

Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat. "No, what are those people talking about? What tsunami?"

Father Ye also looked shocked and confused. "I heard it too. It seemed to be a tsunami or an earthquake?"

"I'll ask."

Ye Yaodong walked towards the group of people who were talking happily nearby, distributed a few cigarettes, and asked them a few questions. His face turned pale and he looked unwell.

There were other people asking around as well. Almost everyone in the group knew what had happened, and groups of people in the crowd began discussing it in groups of three or four.

"Dad, yesterday afternoon, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in the East China Sea, near the Wanwan Strait."

Father Ye's eyes widened, "Earthquake!"

"Yes, the Taiwan Strait area is also an earthquake-prone area. There was an earthquake yesterday afternoon. It was terrible. Earthquakes don't have any signs."

"Why didn't we hear the radio? We all listened to the radio last night to hear today's weather so that we could go back home more conveniently."

"It just happened yesterday afternoon. We are so far away, so the reaction is definitely not that fast. I heard that the dock is already looking for someone to record the broadcast. Just now, someone rode a bicycle with a loudspeaker and shouted in the local dialect. Everyone spread the news by word of mouth. This reaction is considered fast. It's only been a dozen hours."

As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the speaker tied to the pillar in the front started playing, and it played on a loop.

But they were far away and couldn't hear clearly, and the local man spoke Mandarin with an accent, so they couldn't understand him even more.

Father Ye didn't understand what was said after listening to it.

"Dongzi, what do you mean?"

"I don't know. I only heard an earthquake, but I didn't hear it as clearly as the people around me just described."

"Why did an earthquake happen when everything was fine? I thought the Buddhist beads would definitely not break for no reason. What about the fishing boats? What about the fishing boats on the sea?"

"I don't know. When I asked just now, no one knew if there were any fishing boats in distress at sea. Let's go forward and listen to the radio."

The father and son pushed forward and let the workers walk towards the fishing boats on their own and wait when they arrived. There were so many people on the dock now that it was impossible to walk together and they would get separated anyway.

The two walked together, listening to the people around them talking as they walked forward.

Kevin, Kevin, I’ll update half of it first.

I will update the other half of it after 11 o'clock, and will update it again at night. Let's separate them to save you waiting for too long.

I fell asleep while writing at noon and woke up at dinner time. I lay down and typed on my phone, covered with a quilt. It was such a good sleep.
