When a group of people returned home, they sat at the door of their respective houses and talked.
There were hundreds of people, and they were frightened when they looked at the workers who were building houses.
But after a while, everyone ran out again.
Since they couldn't leave, they could only stay for one or two more days. Now they were bored and wandered around. It happened that they had received their salary last night and had not gone out to spend money.
Ye's father also asked Ye Yaodong about the situation at home on the road. Everything was fine, so he didn't think about it again.
"Tell me, why did the beads break when they were fine?"
"You ask me, who am I asking? It may be a coincidence, or it may be that things haven't happened yet. Anyway, I'd rather believe that something is wrong and wait for two days. If you want to go out now, you can go out with them. I won't go out."
He was out all day long, and now he had nothing to go out for.
If the prayer beads are broken, something bad may have happened. If he goes out for a stroll and something bad happens, he will be finished.
After all, it was the prayer beads he wore on his hand.
He can go shopping anytime, but he hasn't gone anywhere in the past two days, just staying at home.
"Then I will go out with everyone to have a look. I have been staying at the sea and haven't walked around much..."
"Go ahead."
Ye Yaodong sat on the steps at the door, chewing straw and watching the workers working opposite. He was so bored that he didn't want to work.
Seeing the two dogs wandering back and forth in the yard, he could only toss the two dogs.
He waved to the dogs, "Come on, come on..."
When the two dogs heard it, they immediately ran towards him with joy. Then they pulled their front hooves on his legs and wanted to lick his face with their tongues. He slapped each one.
"Rolling, rolling, isn't it disgusting?"
After beating them, he touched their dogs' heads again, pointed to a big pot on the side and said, "See, I'll heat up the hot water right away..."
The two dogs were so frightened that they got off him, barked a few words, and then retreated while barking...
"A coward, are you scared when it comes to boiling water?"
Ye Yaodong stood up and actually walked towards the big pot, then stuffed the straw in his mouth into the stove, grabbed a handful of straw to light a fire, and added water to the pot.
The dogs looked at the blazing fire and ran further.
It feels like it’s real this time!
"It's really useless. You're just running away? Come back here and I'll give you a bath..."
He yelled and chased the two dogs, but the two dogs avoided him and ran around the yard.
I'm really worried about getting burned.
If it weren't for the fact that the two bitches and puppies that had just given birth couldn't be washed, he wouldn't have stared at the two running around the yard.
He was panting from running, but the two dogs refused to get close to him. Normally, when they saw him, they wanted to pull on him.
Ye Yaodong was so tired that he slumped down beside the pot, too lazy to move.
After he stopped moving and ignored them, the two dogs even came over after a while.
He caught one directly, hugged the dog's head, and said, "You've just thrown yourself into a trap."
Turning around, he ordered someone to bring a bucket of cold water and mixed it with him. He 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, don't let me move around. If you move around again, I'll chop off the dog's head and put him in the pot!"
Ye Yaodong was dirty and wet anyway, so he simply hugged the dog, soaped it, and rubbed its hair back and forth.
This time the dog also squatted down and let him rub it obediently. After rubbing it until the whole body was covered with bubbles, he poured warm water on it from head to toe and rinsed it clean.
Then I wiped it dry with a rag, let it go to the edge, shake off the water drops, and squat on the edge to bask in the sun.
The weather is not very cold now, and the sun is shining brightly, so there is no need to worry about the dog getting sick.
Once one is solved, the other one will be easy.
By the time he was halfway through washing, people who had gone shopping began to come back one after another, because it was time for dinner.
"Hey, why don't you give the dog a bath? Why don't you let him swim twice in the river?"
"I'm bored and have no time to go out, so I'll just do some fun." He said while rubbing bubbles for the dog.
"Why don't you go out?"
"Brother Dong's prayer beads were broken and he was worried about an accident, so he didn't go out."
"Then it's better to stay at home."
"Dongzi, do you think it has something to do with meeting Chen Jianian?" The person asking the question was Aguang.
"I don't know. It was said that we were on the way, but the cargo ship happened to be going to the provincial capital. It was a cargo ship, but it was not his own ship. The cargo ship pulled people and goods, and it was determined when to leave."
"It's so good. 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 do I know? I was in a hurry so I chatted casually for a few words. He asked about the situation in the town and didn't say anything else."
"It's best never to see him again."
"I hope," Ye Yaodong said while washing the dog, "I hope that everyone I know will make a fortune, have a happy family and career, and be happy."
"Oh, it's a beautiful thought. Everyone has his own destiny."
Ye Yaodong did not answer, but Father Ye came over and said.
"You don't want to bathe yourself, but you still bathe the dog?"
“If I don’t wash the dog, why don’t I wash it for you?”
"When I get old, if you can wash me, I will wake up laughing from my dreams, and I will be able to lie down even after I die."
"My wish is so simple! If you can walk behind my mother, there will be no one to bathe you. I can do better and ask a little girl to bathe you!"
Everyone laughed
The expression on Father Ye's face changed again and again, and it took him a long time to say, "That's nonsense."
"Haha~" Ye Yaodong smiled, patted the dog's head, and asked the dog to shake off water drops and bask in the sun.
After lunch, everyone went out to hang out again. It was rare that they didn't have to work, they were relaxed and rich, and everyone was very happy.
He also didn't forget to tell his father that he would also go to the dock in the afternoon to take a look at the goods on the ship. He also arranged for two people to stay on the ship to prevent others from picking the lock and moving it away.
Although it's not that big, there are so many fishing boats docked at the pier.
But just in case, we can arrange for two or three people to sleep on the boat in the evening, and then rotate them tomorrow, with three shifts in the morning, noon and evening. During the shifts, they don't miss out on hanging out.
Please collect the book!
When it was time to set off the next night, everyone had a lot more luggage, all the spoils of the past two days.
"Nothing seems to have happened in the past two days..." Father Ye said that he had been deceived.
"Isn't it good that nothing happened? No one lied to us, we were just vigilant."
In itself, it is better to believe that something exists than to believe that it does not exist.
"It's best if it's okay. It will only take a day or two anyway," Ye Yaopeng said.
"Yeah, I just hope everything is safe, so let's go quickly."
Everyone also stepped up their steps.
Luggage and cargo were all carried on the boat, and everyone traveled easily. There was no need to take a car, just walk on two legs.
As we approached the pier, there was a stark contrast between the front and the surroundings. The front was as bright as day and people were coming and going, just like a busy city.
It was pitch black around them, and the only sound was their voices.
When we walked onto the pier, everyone felt that there were so many people on the pier tonight. It was so crowded that it felt like they couldn't even squeeze in.
In the past, no matter how many people there were, they could still circulate.
"Why are there so many people at night?"
"What day is it today? Are there so many people at the pier?"
"Don't these people want to go to sea? Are they still standing there chatting? Aren't they usually preparing to board the ship?"
As soon as this was said, everyone felt strange.
In the past, people were boarding ships or unloading cargo at this point. Everyone was so busy that there was no time to stand there and chat.
But tonight, everyone was talking in groups of twos and threes, not many people were busy.
"What are they talking about about tsunamis? What about fishing boats?"
People heard a slightly different voice, a bunch of dialects mixed with a few scattered Mandarin sentences.
Those few scattered sentences in Mandarin shocked them.
Ye Yaodong's heart also skipped a beat, "No, what are those people talking about? What kind of tsunami?"
Father Ye also looked shocked and confused, "I heard it too, it seemed like it was a tsunami or an earthquake?"
"I'll go ask."
Ye Yaodong walked over to a group of people nearby who were chatting happily, distributed a few cigarettes, and asked them about it. His face turned pale and his whole body felt bad.
There were also other people asking around. Almost all of them knew what had happened, and the crowd began to discuss it in twos and threes.
"Dad, yesterday afternoon there was a magnitude 5 earthquake in the East China Sea, near the Bay Strait."
Father Ye's eyes widened, "Earthquake!"
"Yes, the Bay and Strait area is also an earthquake-prone area. Yesterday afternoon, there was an earthquake. It was terrible. There are no signs of earthquakes."
"Why didn't you hear the radio? We all listened to the radio specially last night to hear about today's weather so we could go back easily."
"It just happened yesterday afternoon. It's so far away, so the response must not be that fast. I heard that someone is already looking for someone to record the broadcast at the pier. Just now, someone held a loudspeaker and shouted all the way over on a bicycle in local dialect. Everyone has something to say.
Word of mouth. The response is pretty quick, it only took a dozen hours."
As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the speaker tied to the pillar in front started playing, and it played in a loop.
It's just that they were far away and couldn't hear clearly, and the locals spoke Mandarin with an accent, so they couldn't understand it even more.
Father Ye didn't even understand what was said after listening.
"Dongzi, what do you mean?"
"I don't know. I just heard about the earthquake. What I heard was not as clear as the people around me just now."
"Okay, why is there an earthquake? I said the beads will definitely not break for no reason, but what about the fishing boats? What about the fishing boats at sea?"
"I don't know. When I asked about it just now, everyone didn't know if any fishing boats were in trouble at sea. Go ahead and listen to the radio and see?"
The father and son pushed forward first, letting the workers go to the direction of the fishing boat first, and then waited when they arrived. There were so many people on the dock now that they couldn't walk together, and they would get separated anyway.
The two of them walked together, listening to the conversations of the people around them as they walked forward.
Kavin, Kavin, update half of it first.
I'll update half of it at early 11 o'clock, and there will be another update at night. Let's do it separately to avoid everyone waiting for a long time.
Chapter completed!
