Typhoons don't just appear out of nowhere; they take time to form.
It can take anywhere from one or two days to three or four days or more, and sometimes you can't even wait because it's gone somewhere else.
The typhoon made landfall twice, and Baishi Island was within its range of influence, but not in its center.
Early the next morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind was blowing, followed by a heavy rain and storm.
Feng Ye sat in the main room, watching the raindrops, in a continuous line, being blown under the eaves by the strong wind. Many more were blown into the main room through the front door, wetting a small patch of the ground.
He knew this was just a rehearsal for the typhoon's landfall; the actual landfall would be at night, though he didn't know the exact time.
In his past life, he didn't care about these things at all and slept soundly like a dead pig.
The rain came quickly and went quickly; it subsided and stopped in just over ten minutes.
However, the sky remained overcast, and the house was stuffy and hot, making me feel quite irritable.
I can't stay at home anymore, I might as well go to the beach and feel the breeze.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Maybe he can even get something for himself.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye found two snakeskin bags, rolled them up, tucked them under his arm, and prepared to go out.
What are you going to do with that snakeskin bag?
Ye Qingling and his parents were making a longline fishing rod with the materials he had bought, and even his older brother and sister-in-law were helping out.
That's how it is in the countryside; you can never be idle for a moment, you can always find something to do.
While taking care of her child at home, Ye Qingling would also knit some clothes online to sell or help others repair their clothes to earn some extra money.
"It's too hot at home, so I'm going to the beach. I'll bring two burlap sacks just in case, so I won't have to worry if any of my goods get swept ashore."
Feng Ye had originally intended to invite Ye Qingling to go with him, but then decided against it.
The waves at the beach must be quite strong. Given her swimming ability, if she were to be accidentally swept away by a wave, she wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.
"The waves at the beach must be huge, going there to die is like asking for trouble!"
Xiao Chunxiu glared at her son, cursing and swearing.
“Mom, I’m not going to fight the waves. I’ll just walk around where the waves won’t hit me. Besides, the tide is going out right now, so what’s the danger?”
After saying that, he ignored his mother and turned to leave.
Du Guilan, who was tying fishhooks nearby, winked at Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan asked, puzzled, "Alan, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Go with him and keep an eye on Ah Ye, just in case... you can help out."
Du Guilan wanted to roll her eyes at this blockhead.
"Yes, yes, Ah-Xuan, you should go too. The two of you can look after each other."
Xiao Chunxiu didn't think twice and readily agreed.
He was genuinely worried that his youngest son might be in danger.
Feng Jiaqing gave his eldest daughter-in-law a meaningful look, but said nothing more.
"Uh... okay."
Feng Xuan put down his work and got up to leave.
Du Guilan felt a sense of disappointment and frustration, and quickly tugged at him, whispering, "You should bring the snakeskin bag too, just in case there really is something to sell!"
Feng Xuan then understood his wife's true meaning. He frowned, glanced at Du Guilan, and went to find two snakeskin bags.
Just then, Feng Ye's voice came from outside: "A Ling, sister-in-law, come and discipline the children. A Dong and A Nan are playing in the water, and their pants are all wet."
What?
Ye Qingling and Du Guilan scanned the room and, apart from Feng Yanmei helping to cut the thread, there was no sign of the two little brats. They were immediately enraged and rushed out.
In a short while, I remembered the heart-wrenching screams of the two children.
At this moment, Feng Ye had already left the courtyard and headed towards the dock.
Let women handle disciplining children; he won't get involved.
...
As you approach the pier, you can see waves crashing in from the distant sea, one after another, relentlessly pounding the shore.
The beach was fine; the waves just surged to their highest point and then flowed back down.
Like the rocky shore in the distance, the waves crash against the rocks, constantly being pushed higher and higher, and even making a roaring sound.
The sea is already turbulent; at night, it will turn into a raging fury.
At this time, it is low tide, but the tide will be washed back by the waves as soon as it recedes, so it seems as if it has not receded at all.
The two brothers looked around the pier for a while, then walked towards the beach not far away.
This area is the flattest and has the least risk.
"They actually have some."
As soon as Feng Xuan stepped onto the beach, he saw a large blood clam being rolled ashore by the waves not far away.
He quickly walked a few steps, picked it up, opened the snakeskin bag, and threw it inside.
Blood clams, scientifically known as mud clams, live in the soft mudflats of the intertidal zone in inner bays.
This thing is rarely seen on the beach in their village, and people only occasionally dig it up, but it is a common shellfish in the mudflats of Lujia Village.
"Definitely. With such big waves, a lot of seafood will be swept ashore. Whether it's valuable or not depends on luck."
Feng Ye also saw one, half-buried in the sand, with only a little bit of its shell showing.
Clearly, it had been swept up for a while; if it had waited any longer, it would have been completely buried in the sand.
Feng Ye happily pulled it out and threw it into the snakeskin bag.
A few steps further on, we saw several more sand clams exposed on the beach.
He didn't mind, and went forward to pick them up one by one, digging into the sand with his hand.
Wow, even more were buried! It's a whole nest!
Regardless of its monetary value, any gain is always a joy.
"Ah Ye, look what I found!"
Feng Xuan excitedly picked up a rather ugly-looking toadfish, which he estimated to weigh about seven or eight pounds.
