Chapter 31 Undersea Volcano Eruption
"Yeah, not bad! It will only take a day or two!"
Su Qian nodded gently, "Uncle, let's go to Haiping Town this time. See if you have anything else to buy and buy it quickly."
"Okay, I understand! We should also go back early to inform the old patriarch and others so that they can make preparations early!"
Su's second uncle nodded anxiously and said.
Su Qian sighed inwardly. When something happened, the first thing his second uncle thought of was to inform the old patriarch and the others. He is indeed a good man!
In Haiping Town, Su Qian sold a boatload of fish and shrimp for seven taels of silver. She put the silver away and walked around the town.
Su Qian found the official stationed in Haiping Town and spent forty taels of silver to exchange for another island.
That island is not far from the island where Su Qian and his friends live now, and is said to be larger.
And there are no exiles on the island.
It is very suitable for Su Qian and others to live in!
However, there were some undercurrents around the island, so the officials did not dare to approach.
undercurrent?
This doesn’t seem to have much impact on me!
Su Qian didn't care about these. After receiving the document for the island exchange and reclamation, Su Qian put it away and planned to go to the bookstore in the town for a stroll.
The dragon and phoenix twins are now old enough to read and write, and Su Qian often sees Gu Luyun teaching them to read with branches on the sand.
Su Qian planned to bring some books, pens, ink and paper back with him.
After finding the bookshop, Su Qian spent five taels of silver to buy everything he needed.
Sure enough, the belongings of scholars are more valuable.
Then, she looked at her bare feet and went to a clothing store and bought a dozen pairs of cloth shoes.
Of course, some ready-made clothes were also bought. Although Gu Luyun was always sewing, she decided to keep a few pieces in her own space as spares.
Afterwards, she went to buy some sets of bowls and chopsticks, some seeds and vegetables, and some tarpaulins.
By the way, she went to the grocery store to buy kerosene lamps and candles for lighting when it gets dark.
It's going to rain heavily soon, and some places in my stone house are still prone to leaking.
Even though she has these things herself, she still has to make them look presentable, doesn't she?
When she returned to the dock, Su's second uncle was waiting there.
Su Qian looked at the empty hands of Uncle Su with a little surprise, "Uncle Su, why didn't you buy anything?"
"Uncle, I don't know what to buy. We have food and shelter now, so it seems we don't need anything!"
The second uncle of the Su family scratched his head and said with an honest smile.
Su Qian: “…”
She casually handed a piece of tarpaulin to Uncle Su and said, "Uncle, take this. Your stone house is also leaking. Use this to cover it."
"Okay, then Second Uncle won't be polite!"
The second uncle of the Su family took the tarpaulin and said, "Take a rest. I will row the boat when we get back."
Su Qian nodded, stood on the bow, and let his second uncle slowly row the fishing boat away from the dock.
After returning to the island, Uncle Su hurried to the direction of the old patriarch.
Su Qian sighed lightly, then climbed up to his own stone house with the tarpaulin, spread it out, and then smashed it with stones.
Not long after, Su Qian saw the second uncle of the Su family coming back with a bleary head.
He hesitated and wanted to ask Su Qian a few questions, but the words never came out of his mouth.
Su Qian could tell from his expression that the old patriarch did not believe what he said.
However, this has nothing to do with her!
When the old patriarch threatened to confiscate his silver and fishing boats, he decided not to interfere in the affairs of the Su family anymore.
Su Qian felt that after changing his body, his temper had improved a lot.
In the past, during the end of the world, if she found anyone daring to covet her supplies, she would strike first.
Although this member of the Su clan was not her true blood relative, he had not really caused any harm to her.
Besides, I don’t want to be a murderer, so I’ll just move to another island far away from them!
That night!
Su Qian woke up in the midst of an earthquake!
The dust from the stone house flew on her face, mixed with the roaring sound!
Is this an undersea volcano erupting?
Su Qian was startled and stood up quickly.
At this moment, Gu Luyun also woke up. She called out in panic, "Ah Qian, Ah Qian, are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm fine. I'll go check it out!"
Su Qian saw that the stone house was relatively stable and the shaking had stopped, so he spoke to her softly.
"Well, then be careful!"
Gu Luyun, in a state of trepidation, went to comfort the awakened dragon and phoenix fetus and spoke to her in a low voice.
When Su Qian walked out of the stone house, he found that his second uncle from the Su family next door had also walked out of the door.
"Ah, what happened just now?"
Seeing Su Qian coming out, Su Xi quickly hugged her arm and said, "I was scared to death just now!"
"It was an earthquake caused by an undersea volcano. It's all right now! But there may be a tsunami or heavy rain soon. You'd better stay in the stone house and don't come out!"
Su Qian said in a low voice.
The location of these stone houses is very good, behind the rocks.
The rock can serve as a natural barrier, blocking most of the strong winds and heavy rains.
"No way? It's so scary?"
Su Xi's voice was trembling. She grabbed Su Qian's arm and said, "Xiao Qian, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"I'm going to go to the beach to take a look. You just stay here. It'll be fine!"
Su Qian comforted her softly, then gently pushed her arms away and walked towards the beach.
On the beach, the sea breeze blew her dress and long hair, bringing a smell of sulfur.
The wind was much stronger than during the day.
She walked to the reef and looked at the gloomy sky without a single star.
"Little girl, why are you here? Go back quickly! A tsunami is coming soon!"
The urging voice of the six-pointed starfish came to her ears.
"I, I just came to see you and ask if the island is safe. Can your formation really protect the island?"
Su Qian always had an uneasy feeling in her heart, so she came to the beach to confirm it.
Although she had met the six-pointed starfish several times, she had never seen it actually take action, so she was still a little worried.
She herself felt that it was a bit unreliable to entrust the safety of her and others' lives to a six-pointed starfish.
"Don't worry, little girl! My formation is well-known among the sea tribe! If I say I can keep you safe, then I can keep you safe!"
The six-pointed starfish comforted her, "Just go back and sleep peacefully. It will only rain heavily for two days at most!"
There was a relaxing atmosphere in its voice, which calmed Su Qian's uneasy heart a little.
"Okay, I'll go back first. You should be more careful too!"
Su Qian nodded slightly.
She checked the anchor of the fishing boat again, then slowly turned and walked towards the stone house behind the rock.
