The wind is getting stronger.
Wu An ran along the beach toward the pier, where white waves were already crashing high.
In this situation, even if the fog dissipates, rescue boats will be unable to set sail.
There were far fewer people at the dock compared to the evening, but some fishing boat families were still there.
Wu Yingwei accepted the tea offered by Lao Xie and thanked him. Lao Xie said, "I just heard that some fishing boats have docked at the town's wharf."
Wu Yingwei nodded.
He had just seen some fishing boat families receive phone calls and leave happily.
Old Xie didn't say much.
What needs to be said has already been said; all we can do now is wait.
There is no other way.
Wu Yingwei yawned sleepily, and Lao Xie followed suit: "Brother, there's a bed in the inner room, why don't you take a nap here?"
“If Ah An’s fishing boat comes back, I’ll wake you up immediately.”
Wu Yingwei shook his head.
Although things are difficult now, even if you ask him to close his eyes and sleep, he might not be able to fall asleep.
After taking a sip of tea, Wu An suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Are you seeing things?
Are you hallucinating?
Wu Yingwei blinked hard; his eyes were a little blurry, so he rubbed them with his hand.
He stared wide-eyed ahead, and Wu An was already standing in front of him.
"How did you get here?" Wu Yingwei quickly stood up and asked excitedly.
He stood up for a moment, but couldn't get up.
Wu An quickly grabbed him and pinned him down, saying with a smile, "I'm going to dock at the town's wharf."
"I just got home and found out you were at the dock, so I came to check on you."
Then he looked at Lao Xie and nodded in greeting.
Old Xie smiled and said, "The village chief is really something, he waited for you all night."
Wu Yingwei coughed and said, "I didn't wait here on purpose."
"The situation at the dock is so complicated, I have to keep watch over it."
Wu An smiled and said, "Yes, yes, just wait for me to come, okay?"
"Get up slowly."
"I'll help you."
Wu Yingwei initially said he didn't need it, but after sitting for so long, his hands and feet did go numb. He instinctively grabbed Wu An's arm and stood up.
Wu Yingwei said, "That's right."
“An Ran arrived in the early hours of the morning.”
"After waiting for a while, I advised her to go back first."
"Wait a bit and see if you need to contact them or go over there to let them know you're safe."
Wu An nodded.
When they came out of Lao Xie's store, it was already dawn. Wu Yingwei asked, "Didn't you say you'd be back by midnight? Why is it so late?"
"Didn't you say what it was about?"
Wu An casually explained, "Nothing happened."
"We were slightly delayed at sea."
Wu Yingwei snorted: "Still hiding it?"
"Why didn't you mention the heavy fog when you called home?"
Wu An scratched his head: "I was just reporting good news and not bad news."
"We're already home, nothing could possibly happen, so don't worry."
Wu Yingwei didn't say anything more.
These two men were never very talkative.
Back home.
afternoon.
The typhoon arrived as scheduled.
The wind was so strong that the windows couldn't withstand it and were all shattered.
Fortunately, my family was all there. Although the typhoon left a mess, it didn't cause any major damage.
Even after the typhoon passed, when the wind was still strong, the pier was already full of people going beachcombing.
Wu An also joined in the fun, and with his cheat code activated, he was naturally overwhelmed by the abundance of seafood.
Abalone, sea cucumber, octopus, squid, shrimp, and crab—I easily filled a whole sack.
There are even more oysters, snails, and the like. Some people drive right to the beach and dump sacks of seafood into their cars.
The elderly in the village can't go into the sea; they can only watch from the sidelines.
"How did this hairpin bring out so much seafood?"
"Yes, it's rare to see so much seafood."
"Kid, be careful."
"The waves are still quite high."
The elderly people shouted loudly.
Wu An and A Qing walked up one after the other, carrying a snakeskin bag full of seafood.
Ah Qing turned around: "Brother, are you leaving now?"
Wu An casually said, "Let's go."
"Just enough seafood to eat is fine."
"This is all we have, we can't finish it all, so we'll cook it all and give it to the workers as a treat later."
Ah Qing said "Oh" and then said nothing more.
indeed.
They walked around the beach and picked up almost all the valuable seafood.
What's left are just some common seafood like oysters and clams.
Although there are many, they are not worth much.
Even if you make a lot, you can only sell it for a thousand or so yuan. For ordinary people, that's quite a bit of extra income.
But now, he doesn't care about that little bit of money anymore.
Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well stay home, relax, drink tea, and play cards.
Back home.
Aunt Juan was also there. Seeing that they had brought back so much seafood, she asked, "Aren't you going to sell these?"
Wu An shook his head: "Not for sale."
Aunt Juan was exasperated: "When will we ever finish cleaning all this?"
There was too much fish, and it was also a lot of work to process it.
Mei Yueqin said, "I'll lend a hand."
Wu An shook his head: "Sister-in-law, you should rest. We can handle it."
They were talking.
Wu Yingwei suddenly returned home, bringing a group of people from the village committee with him.
Looking back, there were still more than half of the people I didn't recognize.
A huge group of people walked in, and thankfully the courtyard was big enough, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room for them to stand.
Wu An asked in surprise, "Dad, what's going on?"
Wu Yingwei laughed and said, "You're still asking me what's going on?"
“These people came to the village committee and specifically asked to see you by name.”
"I need to thank you for saving my life."
Wu An scratched his head, looked at the people, and said, "Oh, when I came back yesterday, I encountered other stranded fishing boats on the way, so I brought them back with me."
"These must be the ship's crew."
Wu Yingwei: "Of course, you saved the person yourself, don't you know?"
Wu An said, "I've saved so many people, how could I possibly meet them all one by one?"
As they were talking.
Hai Shen finally squeezed his way to the front from the back, with a middle-aged man in a suit following beside him.
Before he could even speak, he was pushed to the side by the others.
There are too many people.
When Wu An spoke, some people in front could hear him, but those behind couldn't and pushed their way forward. Unable to hear him, Wu An found a loudspeaker so everyone could hear him.
After finally getting rid of everyone, the courtyard was piled high with gifts.
Wu An had it taken away, but no one listened.
They came to express their gratitude for being saved, and the gifts they brought are not something we should take away.
This was also a local custom, and the fact that they returned from the sea without any loss was such a great favor that everyone insisted on treating Wu An to a meal.
Wu An declined.
joke.
If he agrees to one, how can he refuse another? There are so many people; how could he possibly manage to eat them all?
After most of the people had left, Hai Shen came over with a middle-aged man.
That's his boss; he insisted on meeting Wu An no matter what.
