Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparations
typhoon
This is the weather that coastal fishermen hate the most.
The destructive power of the typhoon is so strong that every time it experiences it, the houses in the village are either broken or collapsed, and it is time-consuming and laborious to repair. And once a typhoon blows, you can't go to sea, and your family's income is delayed. Even if the typhoon passes, there will be some damage to the fishing boats, which is really a waste of money and people, and naturally it is extremely disgusting.
Ye Yu's heart also sank.
The thatched hut did not have a solid foundation, nor was it as heavy as a mud-brick house. I don't know if a typhoon blows, and even the roof of the house will be blown away by then.
All plans are cancelled today, so let's strengthen the house first!
The family understood the severity of the typhoon, and after breakfast, they went their separate ways.
Xu was responsible for finding enough firewood, because the typhoon would take several days, and it would be very stormy and rainy, and there was no way to go out to look for firewood, let alone pick up some wet firewood. Ye Yu and Erya were responsible for carrying stones nearby.
Both of them looked for stones larger than the casserole at home, and then rolled them all the way back and tied them to the base of the grass hut wall to add weight to them.
It's actually a little bit better than the village. Because the small grass hut is in the forest, there are many trees around it to cover it as a buffer, as long as it is reinforced and done a few more times, it can barely cope with it.
At this time, everyone in the village and county town was also preparing for the typhoon, and everyone had no time to take care of other things.
After two days of hurriing, the corners of the wall were strengthened and the roof was made. Ye Yu was too busy to go to the clinic to visit Xiao Hei. Fortunately, Sister Sang would visit the clinic every day when she went to work, and then took a video and sent it to herself, and she would tell her some of Xiao Hei's treatment in time. This gives her a lot of peace of mind and allows her to concentrate on her work at home.
I'm so tired......
The three of them kept spinning like a spinning top for two days, their hands were so sore that they couldn't lift up, and their backs hurt badly. Especially Xu, who is overworked and a little feverish.
At this time, the sea breeze outside was already very strong, and there was no way to go to sea again, and Ye Yu also trusted Sang Qi more, so he went through the stone wall to find the antipyretic medicine that Sang Qi took and came back to eat.
"Fisherman, leave me alone. Our boat is still floating on the beach, and we must get it done today, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the house tomorrow. ”
The news that the ship was blown away and damaged in typhoon weather has never been broken, so Xu is particularly worried.
That's the only big item in the house, a few dozen taels of silver.
"I know, Auntie, don't worry, Erya and I will definitely be able to get it done in the morning."
Erya nodded again and again, she is now completely cured, she can help a lot. The habit of working all year round still has a lot of strength, plus young energy, a little rest and recovery of a lot of physical strength.
The breakfast for the two was a bowl of sweet brown sugar porridge, and after eating, they went to the place where the small fishing boat docked on the beach.
Now the docking place is relatively close to the water source, and it is not in the bay. Ye Yu had heard Daddy say that it was better for fishing boats to dock in the bay, which would block a lot of wind. So I plan to row the boat again and dock in the small inlet recessed by Baoshan Island.
The two girls braved the wind and struggled to row the boat over, then dropped the anchor to fix it.
I thought this would be fine, but as soon as the two of them got off the boat, a gust of wind blew, and the small fishing boat immediately staggered and even moved the anchor a little.
"No, it's not safe to stop here."
Erya wiped a handful of sand on her face, and spit out twice.
"Why don't we tow the boat ashore?"
Ye Yu turned his head to look behind him, and after visually measuring the distance from the nearest coconut tree to the boat, he gritted his teeth in response.
Of course, this is easier said than done, especially when two and a half old girls come to do this physical work. It's also fortunate that the boat was bought at the beginning, otherwise the two of them could only watch it.
The two of them first tried to pull the boat, and when the boat was in the water, it was relatively easy to pull it, but when the bow of the boat was on the beach, it became difficult to move an inch.
Without saying a word, Erya stepped into the sea and went around to the back of the butt of the boat and pushed forward, the sea water was not cold, but the waves were very big, and every time the splash was smashed, the face hurt and the chest was tight.
Ye Yu in front carried the rope and used his strength to eat, and Er Ya also fully cooperated in the back, and after stopping and tossing for half an hour, the two finally pushed the small fishing boat to its destination.
The coconut trees not far away are tall and stout, and typhoons can't help it, and it's a good way to stabilize small fishing boats.
"It's finally done. Let's go back and change our clothes. ”
Erya has just recovered from illness, and now she is most likely to get sick when she is wet and blowing. Erya herself also understands that she doesn't want to get sick again and cause trouble, so she obediently did it when she went back to change her clothes and drink ginger soup.
Ye Yu closed the door and simply packed up his things.
"We're pretty much done when we need to do it, and when the typhoon comes, let's take a few days off. By the way, there has been no sun in the past two days, the sun lights are almost gone, and the power bank has no electricity, so I have to go over there. ”
It is also magical, the dark clouds on Baoshan Island cover the sun, but the sun is shining on Xiaoyun Island. After listening to the whistling of the wind for a few days, he suddenly entered Xiaoyun Island, and even his ears were a little uncomfortable.
The mobile phone rang the familiar WeChat prompt sound again, and Ye Yu walked out while holding the mobile phone to listen to Sister Sang's message. Seeing that she was about to walk out of the forest, she lowered her head to reply to a message and suddenly collided with a person, and the phone fell into the grass with a click.
A big, good-looking hand picked up the phone and handed it over.
"I'm sorry, did it hurt you?"
Ye Yu subconsciously raised his head, and quickly turned away as soon as his gaze met the man's eyes. This guy is so tall, look good! The voice is so gentle!
She stuttered again.
"No, no, it didn't hurt, it's me, I didn't see the road."
"Then you see if your phone is broken, if it breaks, I'll accompany you."
Ye Yu flipped through his phone in a panic, checked it cursoly, and shook his head and said no. She lowered her head, not seeing the scrutiny in the man's eyes.
"Then let's add a WeChat, the phone may not appear after a while. If something goes wrong, you can still come to me. ”
The man confidently displayed his QR code business card and expressed his intentions. But the little girl who has never been in the world doesn't understand, she still thinks that people really want to be responsible for the mobile phone, and she is not wary of learning to scan the code to pay and add the man.
"Your avatar is so cute, little sister, are you here to catch the sea? Do you have a family with you? ”
Ye Yu felt that his face was about to turn red, and he quickly shook his head and said no.
"I, I, I made an appointment with my sister to meet at the docks, I have to go."
With that, she turned and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
The man looked at the figure of the little girl running away with some regret, looked down at the new wildflower avatar added to the phone, raised his eyebrows and changed a note for her.
