Chapter 132 Another Typhoon
In the distance, the returning fishing boats were floating up and down in the waves, appearing and disappearing.
Jiang Xia witnessed a ship being submerged by a huge wave, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
Fortunately, the ship reappeared after a while.
Jiang Xia looked at the rolling waves in the sea and the floating fishing boats trying hard to reach the shore.
But I didn't find a familiar ship.
Tian Caihua was extremely worried: "I am dying! It was fine this morning, why are there suddenly such big waves?"
Zhou's mother angrily shouted, "Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Shut up!"
What the hell, I hate her mouth the most.
Tian Caihua said nothing more.
As time passed, one fishing boat after another came to shore in a thrilling and embarrassing manner.
The wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger, and the waves on the entire dock were so big that people could no longer stand. Jiang Xia retreated again and again, but still could not see his family's boat.
The sun has set, and the afterglow of the sunset covers the entire sky. The deep blue sea is covered with a layer of orange, which is strange and magnificent.
The sky gradually darkened, and the orange color that gave the whole world a different hue gradually faded.
There were no more other ships to be seen on the sea. All the fishing boats in the village had returned, and most of them had gone to the sheltered alley.
Their boat hasn't returned yet.
"I'm going to the ancestral hall to worship!" Zhou's mother was so nervous that she turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall.
Tian Caihua also ran over with a pale face.
Jiang Xia stood there, the strong wind made her clothes rustle, her two braids flew up, dust was flying all around, and she could hardly stand.
Sand and dust got into her eyes, making them red. She did not dare to blink, staring at the rolling waves on the sea.
The waves came one after another, each one higher than the last, and Jiang Xia's vision was always blocked.
But she also hoped to see something through the gap when she fell.
She knew Zhou Chenglei would be fine.
Hey, sir, what could be the matter?
But she was also afraid that her appearance would change his ending.
People tend to have wild thoughts when they are extremely scared, and she is no exception.
Even though she forbade herself to think so, she couldn't help it.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xia finally saw a swaying ship in the gap between the waves, floating up and down in the huge waves.
Sometimes it is thrown into the air by huge waves, and sometimes it is submerged by the waves.
Jiang Xia's heart was in his throat again and again. The boat gradually approached and finally reached the shore! Jiang Xia saw a familiar figure quickly jump off the boat.
Their eyes met in the air and he smiled.
Then the huge waves behind him drowned his smile.
Zhou Chenglei quickly grabbed the pillar and quickly wrapped the cable around it.
Mother Zhou knelt down: "Thank God! Thank you..."
Tian Caihua also wiped away her tears.
The father and his two sons braved the wind and waves to carry bag of abalone off the boat.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Xia truly realized that the lives of fishermen are all spent in the midst of storms and waves.
Every penny carries a huge risk.
***At night, there was a violent storm outside.
Zhou Chenglei lay on the bed and Jiang Xia helped him apply medicinal wine.
His entire back was bruised because the wind and waves were too strong. When he was boating, he was accidentally hit by a bucket blown by the strong wind.
Not only him, but also Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin were injured.
Jiang Xia poured a little medicinal wine on his back and gently spread it evenly.
"It's too dangerous. Don't go out to sea next time if the weather forecast says there will be a typhoon."
"Well, next time you hear about a typhoon, don't go out to sea. I didn't expect the typhoon to come so soon this time." Knowing that she was afraid, Zhou Chenglei promised.
When he came back and saw her standing there alone, he felt like his heart was pricked by a needle.
When he held her hand on the way home, he could feel her hand trembling slightly.
The wind and waves were really strong this time, and all the fish in the net were gone, carried away by the strong wind and waves. If the abalone had not been placed in the live tank, there would probably be nothing left.
The boat almost capsized several times and people almost fell into the sea.
Jiang Xia didn't say much, and gently rubbed the medicinal wine on his back, trying to let it penetrate, but afraid of hurting him, "Does it hurt?"
The entire back was already covered with scars, and now there was a large black bruise. I don’t know if the spine was injured.
"It doesn't hurt. You can use a little more force so that the blood stasis can be dispersed faster." She applied it so gently that his whole body felt hot.
Jiang Xia increased his strength after hearing this.
But her strength was too weak for Zhou Chenglei. He didn't feel any pain, just a burning sensation! Zhou Chenglei's forehead was sweating from his forbearance.
Seeing that he seemed to be in pain, Jiang Xia stopped and said with some concern: "Does it hurt? Did you hurt your waist?"
If the bone was injured, she would still use so much force, wouldn't it make the injury worse? "No." Zhou Chenglei pulled her into his arms and then used his strength to prove that his waist was not injured.
The world gave him a storm.
He also gave her a violent storm that smelled of medicinal wine.
The air was filled with the aroma of medicine and wine, which made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
In the middle of the night, Jiangxia was awakened by a loud thunder.
Zhou Chenglei held her in his arms and coaxed her gently.
The thunder was so loud that Jiang Xia couldn't sleep. He was worried that the tiles of the house would be blown away and that it would leak.
He simply kissed her so that she had no time to be afraid and could fall asleep when she was tired.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
In the end, Jiang Xia was so tired that he fell asleep, and he no longer had to worry about anything.
Zhou Chenglei woke up near dawn and tried to get up, but Jiang Xia was still asleep, holding him tightly and not letting go.
He couldn't help it.
When I woke up again, it was already noon.
It was raining heavily outside, and the tiles on the roof were hit by raindrops, dripping with the sound of whistling wind.
Jiang Xia moved and felt that every bone in his body was sore.
There was no one around him, and the place where he was lying was no longer warm.
She got up despite the pain, changed her clothes, and found that her body was covered with strawberries. She felt a little uncomfortable when putting on her underwear.
Jiang Xia had just changed his clothes when there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Chenglei wanted to come in, but when he pushed the door, he found it was closed. He knew Jiang Xia was awake, so he knocked on the door.
Jiang Xia put on his clothes, walked over to open the door, and glared at him.
“…”
Zhou Chenglei didn't understand how he had offended her so early in the morning.
He closed the door, pulled her into his arms, bent down and kissed her forehead: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia saw the red marks on his neck, which could not be hidden even with his collar buttoned to the top.
She thought about what happened last night and she couldn't help herself and bit his shoulder.
It seems like it bled from the bite.
When she thought about it, everyone felt the same! Her face turned red: "I'm hungry."
Zhou Chenglei let her go as soon as he heard it. He was afraid that she was hungry, so he came in to see if she was awake.
Jiang Xia went out to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Zhou Chenglei also went out and brought her breakfast, which could be considered lunch, to the table.
A big bowl of abalone, sea cucumber and scallop porridge, two soft-boiled eggs, a corn, a pan-fried longli fish, and some green vegetables.
Very nutritious.
Jiang Xia was also hungry and ate it all.
After eating, she went to the kitchen to help.
On a rainy day, Zhou's mother and father were drying abalone in the kitchen, worried that the abalone would not become smelly if it was not dried.
Seeing that Zhou's mother and father were busy and sweating, their clothes were soaked, Jiang Xia wanted to help light the fire, but Zhou's mother smiled and said, "No, no, the fire is hard to control, we can do it."
When drying abalone, the fire is very particular, there must be no smoke, otherwise the abalone will have a smoke smell and will be worthless.
It can't be too hot, otherwise it will burn and won't be sellable.
Zhou's mother is used to doing this. Normally, fish is not dried in the sun, but she dries them this way, and she can control it very well.
Father Zhou waved to Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, come here."
Jiang Xia thought there was something he needed help with, so he walked over.
Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia back and said, "Dad, I'll do it."
The abalone has been baked here for a long time. It’s so hot, how can Jiangxia bear it?
Father Zhou said angrily, "Get out of here! I just wanted Xiao Xia to touch these abalones!"
Can his stinky hands compare with Jiang Xia’s fortune-attracting hands?
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
