Feng Ye had just returned to his front door when he ran into Ye Chenliang, who had finished tying up the crabs, as he opened the door to come out.
He quickly dragged the basket inside and closed the door behind him.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to collect the fish? Aren't there lots of fish swimming up on the ground outside again?"
Ye Chenliang looked at him with a puzzled expression.
As Feng Ye placed the basket on the ground, he said, "No, first find a rope and tie it around your waist, that way it will be safe."
The waves are too big; if you're accidentally swept away, that would be a real problem.
Let's be cautious and prioritize safety.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenliang immediately understood.
He slapped his forehead and laughed, "Right, right, you're so thoughtful. I'll go find some rope right now."
Before long, the two men, each with a rope tied around their waists, walked out again with empty baskets in their hands.
They tied the other end of the rope to the doorknob before they felt safe enough to pick up the fish from the ground.
The rope is about 10 meters long, which is barely enough.
Any longer and it wouldn't be safe; the length would reach where the waves could reach.
Although they are tied with ropes, even if they are knocked down by the waves, they can be pulled back in time and not be swept away.
But nobody wants to actually experience being battered by the waves.
In particular, you might choke on water, which is no pleasant experience.
Before the fish that had just been caught could be collected, another strong gust of wind struck, and large amounts of rain also came crashing down with it.
The two of them were so blown around that they had to stop picking up the fish, close their eyes, and wait for the wind to subside before continuing.
Ouch!
Suddenly, Feng Ye cried out in pain.
Something just fell from the sky and hit him on the head.
Just as he was about to open his eyes to see what it was, he heard, in addition to the sounds of wind, rain, and waves, a series of objects hitting the ground with a "bang, bang, bang" sound.
"What is it?"
He was startled and suddenly opened his eyes.
But the wind and rain were too strong, forcing him to close his eyes again immediately.
However, in that one glance, he saw something that shocked him.
Countless fish, accompanied by debris, fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Yes, it was like rain, with fish falling from the sky.
The scene was so shocking that Feng Ye momentarily doubted whether he was dreaming.
He pinched himself hard, the pain making him realize:
This is not a dream!
This is true!
He had only heard that fish might rain during typhoons, but he had never seen it.
Today, he has witnessed it firsthand.
In fact, typhoons usually don't directly blow fish into the sky.
Typhoons are large-scale cyclones. Although the wind speed at the center is extremely high (up to tens of meters per second), their main impact is to generate huge waves rather than directly uprooting fish.
However, typhoons may be accompanied by a small-scale, intense vortex called a waterspout.
Its central air pressure is extremely low, dropping to around 100 hPa, while the wind speed is extremely high, reaching up to 100 meters per second.
The powerful suction generated by these vortices can lift water and fish into the air, and then they fall back down with the wind and rain, forming "fish rain".
"Holy crap, what's going on? Fish are falling from the sky?"
Ye Chenliang, who was standing next to him, also exclaimed in surprise, completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.
This rain of fish came quickly and went quickly.
It was over in just a few seconds.
The two remained standing there, letting the wind and rain lash them, their eyes closed, their minds filled with the scene of fish falling from the sky that they had just glimpsed.
Fortunately, the typhoon had only just begun, and the strong winds wouldn't blow continuously; they would come in gusts.
The strong wind passed in no time.
Although the wind was still strong, at least I could open my eyes.
The two opened their eyes and excitedly spun around.
The ground all around was covered with countless fish and all sorts of messy trash.
These fish come in all shapes and sizes, and of all kinds, but the most common are silver pomfret.
Clearly, a group of silver pomfret was swept into the air by the typhoon and landed in this area.
"Pomfret, lots of silver pomfret..."
"Holy crap, so many fish! Quick, pick them up..."
The two were overjoyed and quickly squatted down to pick up the fish one by one and throw them into the basket.
Feng Ye also glanced at his father and older brother next door, and then at A-Can, who was further away.
Feng Jialing couldn't resist the urge to join in and came out to collect fish as well.
Right now, everyone is bent over picking up fish.
Although we couldn't see their facial expressions, they must have been filled with excitement and anticipation.
After all, this rain of fish couldn't have only covered the small area in front of his house; the neighbors must have been affected as well.
This is a golden opportunity; if you don't seize it now, when will you?
"These fish are all quite big, it would be best to bring more...!"
Ye Chenliang picked up the fish while talking, his face full of smiles.
"Yes, yes, let it rain fish again, and let it rain for a long time..."
Feng Ye was also full of anticipation.
Of course, he also knew that such things were a matter of chance.
But that doesn't stop him from hoping that such good things can happen a few more times.
The wind continued to howl, bringing with it pelts of rain that lashed against the two men, making a crackling sound and causing them slight pain.
Even though Ye Chenliang was wearing a raincoat, it was no use; the rain still found a gap and seeped in, soaking him completely.
Feng Ye was even more soaked; he had already fallen and was completely drenched, so he simply didn't wear a raincoat and just pulled out a straw hat to wear.
With rain this heavy, you can't even open your eyes without something covering your head.
But no matter how strong the wind and rain, it couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for collecting fish.
At this moment, they actually wish the wind were stronger and the waves were bigger, so that more fish could be swept ashore.
The two were having a great time collecting fish, completely immersed in the joy of it, ignoring the wind and rain that were hindering them.
The fish on the ground dwindled as they picked them up, but their baskets filled to the brim.
Moreover, this was already the third basket they had each collected.
Just as the basket was about to be full, Feng Ye looked up at the sky, only to be suddenly blinded by the rain.
He had no choice but to quickly lower his head, wipe the rain off his face, and then open his eyes again.
"I wish there would be another rain of fish."
"Yeah, we've almost finished picking them all, let's have another round..."
Before the words were even finished, instead of fish rain, a colossal wave appeared.
This wave was more spectacular than any of the previous ones, seemingly ready to devour everything, surging towards them.
"Holy crap, those waves are huge! They must be over ten meters high!"
Ye Chenliang stopped what he was doing and stared wide-eyed at the giant wave.
"careful!"
Feng Ye shouted, grabbed Ye Chenliang, and ran towards the gate.
The waves are too big; it's best to go home and take shelter.
It's a pity that the two baskets, which were almost full, were swept away by the waves.
