Feng Ye just wanted to save someone who had fallen into the sea, but he didn't expect to drag himself down with them, returning to 1990.
He also wanted to do business with the Russians, t...
The two continued to collect the various seafood that rushed up.
The waves continued to surge toward the shore, one after another.
Some stopped at the beach ahead, while others rushed all the way to their doorsteps, even slamming against the gates and walls.
Just then, a large, orange-yellow fish was swept ashore by the waves.
Feng Ye also saw it constantly tumbling and struggling in the waves, trying to break free from their hold.
However, its power is so insignificant in the face of the waves that it can only be passively and involuntarily carried towards the shore.
Ye Chenliang also spotted the big fish and exclaimed in surprise, "Look! What kind of fish is that? It's huge!"
He shouted as he ran toward the fish.
"Yellow-lipped fish, it's a yellow-lipped fish, I saw that its lips are yellow."
Feng Ye shouted excitedly, and followed closely behind, rushing off against the wind and rain.
He stared intently at the yellow croaker, afraid that it would disappear in the blink of an eye.
The seven yellow croaker brothers are now only missing the yellow croaker to complete the collection.
The yellow croaker gets its name from its yellow lips and is the most expensive of the seven species.
Although this yellow croaker only weighs about 20 or 30 pounds and is a bit small, in terms of value, it cannot compare to the 100-pound catfish that I found for free during the last typhoon.
But such rare and high-quality goods are also quite valuable.
We can't let it be brought back into the sea when the waves recede.
Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, the rain was heavy, and the waves were also obstructing their progress, making their advance very slow.
Although it was a jog, it felt like walking through mud; every step was extremely difficult and strenuous.
By the time they rushed to the fish, it had already been carried back into the sea by the waves.
Looking at the yellow croaker struggling and bobbing in the waves just a few steps away, Feng Ye's eyes were filled with resentment and regret.
He longed to untie the rope binding him and plunge into the waves to catch the yellow croaker.
But reason told him he couldn't do that.
The waves were too turbulent. Once the rope was untied, it wouldn't just be the yellow croaker that got swept away by the waves; there was a high probability that the fish would also be swept away.
At that point, forget about catching fish, you'll risk your life too.
He was so angry he was jumping up and down: "Damn it, it was so close, so very close..."
"Ah Ye, is this fish very expensive?"
Looking at Feng Ye's exasperated expression, Ye Chenliang asked in confusion.
He had not caught any yellow croakers on several voyages, so naturally no one introduced him to the fish and he did not know its value.
He only ran over to try and catch the fish because he saw that it was quite big.
Feng Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his frustration and resentment, and nodded, saying, "It's not just expensive, it's more expensive than you can imagine."
"How expensive? Can it be more expensive than that hairy fish from last time? That one cost almost 500 yuan."
"Let me put it this way, last year my brother caught a yellow croaker weighing less than 15 jin (7.5 catties) with a hand-thrown net, and the price of it reached 500 yuan."
This yellow croaker is even bigger; it could easily sell for ten or twenty thousand.
"Wow... so expensive?"
Ye Chenliang was shocked and immediately stomped his feet in anger: "Damn, this is too bad luck!"
I was so close to catching it.
What a pity, what a pity..."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's keep a close eye on things and see if we get swept up by the waves again. Let's collect the other goods first."
"Well, that's all we can do."
They were not destined to catch the yellow croaker, so they had to put it aside for the time being and focus on what was important at hand.
That wave just now brought up quite a bit of seafood.
While picking up various goods from the ground, the two also made sure to glance at the yellow croaker struggling in the waves from time to time.
However, not long after, the yellow croaker disappeared completely.
This left them sighing with regret.
I was hoping it would be washed ashore by the waves again.
It seems like there's no chance now.
"My basket is almost full. Can you lend a hand and carry it into the house?"
Feng Ye picked up a sea bass in front of him and threw it into the basket, only to realize that the basket was almost full.
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Ye Chenliang responded and stepped forward to help lift the basket full of seafood, moving step by step toward the gate.
After delivering the basket of goods home, there was no time to rest. He grabbed an empty basket and quickly turned around to continue collecting seafood.
The typhoon roared, the rain poured down, and the waves surged.
Despite the cacophony of sounds around them, no one seemed to notice, their passion for collecting fish undiminished.
Finding it is like winning the lottery.
Everyone wanted to collect as many fish as possible.
No matter how fierce the wind and rain, or how towering the waves, all I need is a basket full of seafood.
Anyway, with a rope tied around his waist, he constantly reminded himself not to take any risks due to a moment of impulsiveness.
Money must be earned, but life must not be lost.
Everyone was bent over or squatting, picking up the trash with great enthusiasm, when suddenly another giant wave formed and crashed down on them.
Feng Ye was picking up a sea cucumber when he heard a rumbling sound. He turned around and his expression changed drastically.
That giant wave was far more ferocious than any of the previous ones, as if it were about to swallow the entire beach.
He had a bad feeling and quickly called out to Ye Chenliang, "Run!"
On the other side, his father, older brother, and Ah-chan also noticed the unusual giant wave and tried to run home to take shelter.
No sooner said than done.
They hadn't run more than a few steps when the giant wave arrived and crashed down on them.
The power of the giant wave was astonishing; it instantly swept them off their feet, leaving none of them able to stand firmly.
One by one, they were all knocked down and stunned by this giant wave.
Feng Ye felt a tremendous force coming from behind, and he was involuntarily thrown forward, staggering a few steps before falling to the ground.
He tried to get up, but the force of the waves made it impossible for him to stand. He could only drift with the current and be carried forward by the waves.
The waves relentlessly washed over everything in their path until they were blocked by the houses, at which point they stopped, splashing water everywhere.
Then, as the giant wave receded, it swept them back into the sea.
Fortunately, they were all tied with ropes, which held them back and prevented them from being swept away by the waves.
Even so, the waves left him dizzy and disoriented, and it took him a while to recover.
When they got up and looked around, they were all excited.
