Chapter 1246 After the storm

Everyone was chatting in his yard all afternoon, and there were actually several gaming tables opened in the back.
Ye Yaodong was worried that such a large group of them were coming in and out, and the shouting was so loud. He was afraid that if people nearby reported it, they would all go in.
After all, they are all called foreigners by their neighbors.
Yesterday, I thought that they all just came back from the sea and had something to talk about, so I got them all together to talk. I also let them play at the gaming table behind them until dinner time, and then I rushed back to eat.
Who would have thought that he hadn't come here since it was dark last night, and now that he hadn't even woken up, the noise of a large group of people could be heard in the yard, which made his head hurt.
When he opened the door and went out, he shouted, "We've caught the gambler!"
Everyone was still holding cards in their hands, and they were carrying the table to move it into the courtyard to make more space for everyone to stand. As a result, everyone was shocked.
"A Dong..."
"Boss..."
"Do you think this is a casino or something? If you have nothing to do on a typhoon day, you can go out for a walk. Do you want to gamble? How much money do you have that you can use to gamble?"
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he turned into a gambling den?
When you are bored, you just want to play once, why do you come to your home every day to gamble?
"Haha... isn't this a typhoon and there's no one on the road?"
"Then go back and lie down. If you want to be caught, keep going. Do you think the neighbors can listen to you yelling and shouting like this every day? Do you think this is your own village?"
"Ah, got caught?"
Everyone was a little at a loss.
"Otherwise? People gather to gamble, and there are hundreds of people gathering to gamble, and every report is accurate. We are from out of town, who is selling you face? If you get in like this, I don't care about you."
Everyone was a little embarrassed.
You look at me, I look at you, it seems there are quite a lot of people.
"Haha... We are just bored and playing, no more, no more."
"Don't say I didn't remind you, be careful when you go out. It doesn't matter if you eat, drink, whore, or gamble. As long as you have money, you can eat and drink whatever you want. But if you go whoring and gambling, hey, you have to take care of it."
"No, no, it's just that we can't work in a typhoon..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Everyone goes back to his own house, wherever he comes from. You can go shopping, go to the pier to have a look, or whatever. Don't gamble with me."
"It's okay, and I don't want a bunch of people to come here. There are enough people here. With so many people coming in and out, the neighbors will be scared to death."
If he hadn't been sending some fish to nearby neighbors every three days during this period and maintaining good relations, he probably would have come to scold them for making noise yesterday.
But we can’t challenge people’s bottom line again and again.
If there is a new neighbor who has moved in near his house, and hundreds of people come and go all day long, making a lot of noise, affecting other people's lives, and even running gambling games, who cares whether you are a neighbor or not?
A group of people were also a little embarrassed, so they just said a few words and left first.
The yard suddenly became quiet.
"If you have time, go help the old lady cross the road, and help the old lady nearby to carry water and chop wood!"
"ah?"
"Ah, what? We are all going to fetch water and chop firewood. There is a typhoon. There may be heavy rain and power outage at any time. If we are unable to go out for ten days and a half and have no firewood, we will all have to drink the northwest wind."
"Okay, let's go chop some more firewood and bring back some more water."
Give them all assignments so that when they have something to do, they won't get together and panic.
Ye Yaodong had breakfast, left someone to look after the house, and then went out for a walk.
It was said to be a typhoon day, but it looked sunny and windy, but the wind blowing was not as hot as before, it was quite cool, and the wind was strong enough, a bit stronger than yesterday.
When he strolled to the pier, the pier was bustling with activity.
When I got closer, I realized that it was someone who saw that they had caught several boats of jellyfish yesterday, and they were very excited.
I thought they caught it in the trench, thinking that the typhoon hadn't arrived yet and the surrounding coasts hadn't been affected much.
If they can catch it, there's no reason why others can't.
It just so happened that the typhoon was coming, and no fishing boats dared to go out to sea. The trench over there was empty, and there would be no more competitors. It was a perfect opportunity, so just yesterday someone took advantage of it and brought back so much fish.
So early this morning, some fishing boats took the risk and went out two or three times, and then just came back with a full load.
After the goods were sold out, another wave of fishermen became interested, and now several more boats followed.
It’s really true that wealth can be found in danger...
He looked at the sky. In addition to the howling wind, there were also waves hitting the shore from time to time. It was indeed easy to give people the illusion that the typhoon was just passing by.
Most people probably think that the weather is pretty good, it won’t have much impact, others can earn money, and if they come back safely, then they can do it too.
He didn't stay at the pier for long. He listened to the news and looked at the waves before going back.
Then when he went to see if the waves were big the next day, more than half of the fishing boats on the pier were gone.
Everyone who went yesterday came back with a full load, so today more people were jealous and irrationally followed suit...
After all, if they were scattered on the sea surface in the past, if they knew that a typhoon was coming, no one would take risks and search everywhere on the sea. Now it is a trench, a gathering place for jellyfish, and it is inevitable that the heart will be moved.
The main reason is that some people have benefited and are safe. Who can watch others making money?
Even foreigners like them wanted to take the risk of going out to sea to salvage, and they were all ready to get together to discuss.
Father Ye and his two brothers also came over to ask him.
"The locals have all sailed out today, should we go out and take a look? I think this typhoon has little impact, it didn't rain, but the waves are a bit bigger, and our boat is bigger..."
"Dad, don't follow the crowd. We will follow whatever others do. If no one goes to sea, will you go?"
"Then don't I think that all of them are fine? They still fish out a lot every day, and the quantity is large, no less than during the peak flood season..."
"It's only been two days. The typhoon won't pass that quickly. Let's wait."
"It's not like you have so many people to support, your salary is so huge, and all of them are still at home..."
"Safety first. You also know that I brought so many people out and I have to be responsible. It's better to wait."
He had earned enough some time ago, so there was no need to follow him.
I just didn't expect that my family was stable, but someone else couldn't stand it any longer. That afternoon, a fishing boat from their side went out to sea with them.
And the weather happened to change that afternoon, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it started pouring rain.
The weather is inherently changeable on typhoon days. One second it may be sunny and windy, and the next second the rain may blow by like the wind.
Moreover, the sea is more terrifying than the land, with violent storms coming at any time.
There was still sunshine in the morning, but it became cloudy at noon, and there was a strong wind.
Ye Yaodong and others were all at home. They had taken advantage of the typhoon weather to take a walk outside, but when they saw the rain, they all ran back. He counted the number of people and was not worried.
Father Ye was also lucky that his two sons almost followed suit in the afternoon. He was also wavered by the questions from his two sons, so he went to ask Dongzi.
Then I went to those closer to me and advised them not to follow suit.
Unexpectedly, during dinner in the evening, they heard someone knocking on the door and let someone in. Only then did they realize that someone had also gone to sea in the afternoon.
Fortunately, they arrived relatively late, and they felt the wind and waves were too strong when they were halfway there. They hurried back in panic, but there were no casualties.
But I was so frightened that my legs were shaken after I landed on the shore, and I sat directly on the ground, terrified.
When we got ashore, the wind was already blowing hard. It was only 3 o'clock and the sky was as dark as black.
Ye Yaodong and the others were lighting candles and listening to the strong wind outside. The rainwater poured into the main room, and they had to move to the room to eat.
The person who came to report the news was sent by Aguang. After speaking, he hurried back against the wind and rain.
Everyone was a little scared after hearing this.
"Fortunately we didn't go..."
"I don't know what happened to the locals. If you respond in time, they will be able to come back in time..."
"This typhoon has just started. It hasn't registered yet. The wind will really get strong at night. I guess there will be no one on the road, let alone visiting the pier."
"The trench is originally a little far away from the city here. It took us an hour or so to drive there by boat. Fortunately, they turned back halfway..."
Father Ye also said happily: "Fortunately, we stayed at home honestly. We should log in at night. Let's go and see it tomorrow..."
Ye Yaodong thought that the locals didn't know how much they would suffer, and Zeng Weimin's political performance this year was probably going to be disastrous again...
The typhoon raged and roared at night, and when dawn came, all that was left was a sweeping mess.
There was also an explosion on the pier, and there was a lot of crying. Even the police were dispatched and cordons were set up. I heard that law enforcement boats were also sent out.
But no news has come back yet.
After the typhoon, the wind stopped, but the authorities did not allow fishing boats to go out to sea.
In fact, this is unnecessary, and no one dares to go to sea at this time.
It was not until evening that he heard from Fang Jingfu that he had retrieved five or six corpses, and that others were still being recovered, and the missing people were being counted. Fang Jingfu didn't even know how many people were missing, so this must be kept secret.
And they heard from neighbors that they had caught more than a dozen bodies, but that was not true.
Now the local government should be in dire straits again...
What makes things even worse is that the typhoon just passed and it didn't clear up on the second day. It rained heavily on the third day. I heard that another typhoon eye was formed.
This time the officials learned a lesson. As soon as they received the news that another typhoon was forming, they immediately took out a loudspeaker and went around the streets to spread the word, so that everyone would stay behind closed doors.
Everyone learned their lesson and stayed at home.
But their group only came to Ye Yaodong every day to sigh. Now everyone is more convinced of Ye Yaodong's words.
Fortunately, most of them listened to him.
One day of major typhoon damage is one day of loss, otherwise no one would think of taking the risk.
I really can't afford the loss.
It was hard enough for everyone after being out for so many days without making any money, and now there are successive typhoons.
Perhaps it was also because of the successive typhoons. The second typhoon had a large area of ​​rain just after it formed. It rained for four or five days in a row, with wind and rain, before it started to make landfall.
After landing, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up immediately.
Just because of the impact of two consecutive typhoons, even law enforcement ships cannot salvage. Now another week has passed, and the missing people can only be regarded as wrecks.
Just after the typhoon passed, they heard that many families had begun to hold funerals, and some people paid homage at the pier early in the morning.
Everyone sighed a little, it was hard to make money.
Moreover, after the typhoon, the waves were so strong that the government has now come forward not to allow people to go to sea. I don’t know when they will let them go.
"Ah Dong...what should we do now..."
Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "If you ask me, I have no idea. The government doesn't allow us to go to sea, and the waves outside are so big. How dare you go?"
"This is a terrible situation. All our money has been lost."
"I don't know if there will be another typhoon later..."
"Fuck, you crow mouth..."
"Then we can only watch here?"
"We can only wait."
"A Dong...Aren't you free at the lighter factory? Can we go to the lighter factory to do odd jobs?"
Everyone looked at him with hot eyes, at least he could make some money.
The boss of the ship's eyes became even more intense.
"It can't be done. The manpower inside is already saturated and there is no need for manpower."
Wouldn't sending so many skirmishers add to the chaos?
Moreover, the production line has matured. With such a large group of people joining in, how will they bear the burden if something happens?
It's not good for him to get people in, so why bother?
"Oh, then we can only wait?"
"We are really going to lose a lot of money this year..."
"It will probably be the end of the month after the storm passes, and a month has been spent..."
Chapter completed!
