Chapter 205: Hurricanes
"Boss, it's time for us to go back." The two brothers reminded.
Sun Chen looked at the big bags and small bags on their bodies, helplessly holding their foreheads, when did he become a shopaholic? He recognized that a large part of it was something he said he wanted to buy.
"You send your things back to the inn first, and then we'll go shopping for a while, and if we haven't gone back at noon, you can go downstairs and eat by yourself."
The second girl was in high spirits, of course he couldn't let the two little girls stay in an unfamiliar street.
The two brothers thought of Sun Chen's performance along the way, and knew that he was not as weak as he seemed on the surface, so they went back with confidence.
The empty-handed three people had no burden, and soon became active on the street, and before they knew it, they bought a lot more.
However, because Sun Chen deliberately controlled his desire to buy, the speed was not as amazing as before.
When a few people were tired of walking, they sat on the roadside stalls and asked for a snack, and then continued after resting, and they didn't care if they had lunch or not, anyway, no one felt hungry.
When I reached the end of the street, I looked up and realized that the sun was about to set.
Walking back in a hurry, the more tired I became, I simply recruited the manpower rickshaw here and sat on it.
Erniu and Yadan have one for two people, Sun Chen himself has one, plus a lot of things, almost four kilometers away, it cost fourteen yuan.
Just returned to the inn, just ran into the anxious brothers coming out of the inn, it turned out that the two brothers saw that the time was not early, Sun Chen and they had not come back, thinking that something had happened.
After eating dinner lively, Sun Chen went back to his room to sort out the day's harvest.
Although things like durian crisp and nine-layer oil cake are delicious, the shelf life is a big problem, and it seems that only coconut sugar can be stored for a long time.
Sun Chen used to like to eat it very much, so he wrapped almost all the coconut candy in that store today, and planned to take it back and eat it slowly.
He also bought a lot of dried mangoes, cashew nuts, and beef jerky, which seem to last a long time as long as they are properly placed. Why don't you buy more tomorrow and come back, and then ask someone to bring some back to Taikang Town.
Sun Chen got up very early the next day, planning to go to the street to buy something again, but was blocked by a sudden heavy rain.
It rained for two days, and if they hadn't bought so many new things before, they would have been holding back their problems a long time ago.
Along with the pouring rain, there was also a strong wind no less than level 9. I heard from the guys at the inn that after this hurricane, at least half of the houses along the coast will be damaged.
At this time, there was no such thing as a typhoon, it was called a hurricane, and before they arrived, the chickens and ducks in the house would be irritable and noisy. At this time, the people would spontaneously take their valuables and hide in nearby caves and wait for the hurricane to pass.
Of course, there are not so many caves for everyone to live in, and the rest of the caves have to be borrowed from relatives and friends in the center of the city. Fortunately, there are only two cases of this at most per year, and each time is only a few days, so it doesn't feel like much trouble.
This has also caused a serious polarization in the quality of houses around Linhai County, and the powerful ones are like a fortress when they build houses, and no matter how powerful a hurricane comes, at most a little water will be poured into it, and the phenomenon of collapse and damage will rarely occur.
And those who don't have much money at home can build as simple as they can. Anyway, after the hurricane passes, it will be gone, so they can simply save it.
Fortunately, the four seasons of Linhai County are not so distinct, even in winter, it is just a single layer of clothing. Cotton clothes and quilts are not used at all, and even if the wind occasionally comes in through the cracks in the wall, it will not freeze to death.
On the afternoon of the third day, the wind, sand and heavy rain finally stopped, and the people in the inn held back for a few days, and they all rushed out to let off steam, and the smell of the sea in the air was particularly strong.
Sun Chen went to the coastal area that the guys said to take a look, and it was not an exaggeration to be devastated.
There were ruins everywhere, there were almost no crops left in the fields, and even daily necessities that had not had time to be collected were scraped off on them.
The people who escaped returned to their homes with large bags and small bags, and what awaited them was to start all over again.
When a hurricane hits, it can be regarded as a natural and man-made disaster, and ordinary people are as small as a grain of sand in front of it. But no matter how powerful it is, there will always be a day when it will leave, and people will eventually re-establish their own castles in the places where it once wreaked havoc. Although the castle is not strong, and it may not even last for a year, it is still the hope of all.
Sun Chen also looked at those sturdy houses, and they were indeed safe. It's just that everything around them has been destroyed, and it still looks miserable.
"Fortunately, although the razor clams are coastal, the coastline is not prominent, but a little concave." Sun Chen couldn't help but rejoice.
At the beginning, he only cared about quickly deciding the location of the bead field, and forgot that there was a hurricane, and when he really encountered it, he asked the Song brothers about the weather of the razor clams.
Knowing from their mouths that although sea clams occasionally rain heavily and blow strong winds, such a destructive hurricane is still extremely rare, and it will not be encountered once in decades, so he slowly let go of his heart.
The people who were busy restoring their homes didn't have time to deal with them at all, and Sun Chen didn't come forward without knowing each other, and after watching it for a while, he planned to leave.
Turning around and walking a few steps, Sun Chen vaguely heard a few low sobs, and followed the sound to find that it was a pair of brothers and sisters kneeling on the beach.
It was my sister who was crying, looking like she was seven or eight years old, and her thin brother stood aside and patted her shoulder without saying a word.
"Mother, father, I was wrong, come back quickly! Mother~Dad~"
"Brother, I killed our father and mother, if I hadn't been arguing for them to come over to find Xiao Ash, they wouldn't have died! It won't be like now, and after death, you can't even go to the ground for peace! The little girl kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, heartbroken. Beside her, there was a variegated earth dog, with mostly gray body hair, mixed with some white and yellow. It had a lot of abrasions on its body, and the blood stains had dried up, but it squatted there motionless.
When Sun Chen heard this, he almost understood what the whole thing had happened.
It seems that this little girl found that her dog forgot to lead it at the beginning of the hurricane, so she asked her father and mother to let them take it over, but her parents couldn't resist her, so they could only take the risk to come out to find it, but they didn't expect that after being swept away by the hurricane, there was not even a corpse left.
